TRANSMETA CORPORATION 
 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. However,
certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed,
or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. The preparation of financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made in preparing the
financial statements include license revenue recognition, inventory valuations, long-lived and
intangible asset valuations, restructuring charges and loss contingencies. In the opinion of
management, the financial statements include all adjustments (which are of a normal and recurring
nature) necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2004. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. The
Company has historically reported negative cash flows from its operations.
From its inception in 1995 through the first quarter of fiscal 2005,
the Company incurred a cumulative loss aggregating $670.4 million, which
losses have reduced stockholders equity to $38.5 million
at March 31, 2005. The Company believes that its existing
cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment balances and cash from operations will be
sufficient to fund its operations, planned capital and research and development (R&D) expenditures
for the next twelve months under the modified business model and related restructuring plan
announced by the Company on March 31, 2005. The Company plans to further leverage its intellectual
property rights and to increase its business focus on licensing its advanced power management and
other proprietary technologies to other companies. By increasing its focus on its licensing and
service business, the Company hopes to increase revenue from its licensing and service activities
in 2005 and beyond. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company also took action to reduce its
operating expenses by discontinuing certain of its products, increasing prices for its products,
and changing its terms and conditions of sale. On March 31, 2005, the Company announced a strategic
restructuring plan that included a reduction of the Companys workforce. Although the Company
believes that its restructuring plan will improve the negative gross margins and further reduce the
operating expenses associated with its product business, the Company also anticipates that its
modified business model will further reduce its historic business focus on product sales. The
financial statements of the Company have been presented based on the
assumption that the Company will operate as a going concern for at
least the next twelve months through March 31, 2006. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the
possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of
assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may
result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. On February 25, 2005, the Companys Board of Directors resolved to change the fiscal year from
one ending on the last Friday in December to a fiscal year ending the last calendar day in
December. This change is not deemed a change in fiscal year for purposes of reporting subject to
Rule 13a-10 or 15d-10 because the Companys fiscal year 2005 commenced with the end of its fiscal
year 2004. The Companys fiscal year 2004 ended on
December 31, 2004. The first quarter of fiscal 2005 ended on
March 31, 2005 and the first quarter of fiscal
2004 ended on March 26, 2004. The
three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and March 26, 2004 each consisted of 13 weeks. For ease
of presentation, the accompanying financial information has been shown as of December 31 and
calendar quarter ends for all annual and quarterly financial statement captions. 6

2. Net Loss per Share Basic and diluted net loss per share is presented in conformity with the Financial Accounting
Standards Boards (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per
Share, for all periods presented. Basic and diluted net loss per share has been computed using the
weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period, less
weighted-average shares subject to repurchase. The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share: Three Months EndedMarch 31,
    
    
    March 31,2005
    
    
    2004(in thousands, exceptfor per share amounts)Basic and diluted:Net loss
    
    $
    (21,085
    )
    
    $
    (23,373

computing basic and diluted net loss

    189,151
    
    
    
    171,869Net loss per share  basic and diluted
    
    $
    (0.11
    )
    
    $
    (0.14
    )
 The Company has excluded all outstanding stock options and warrants from the calculation of
basic and diluted net loss per share because these securities are antidilutive for all periods
presented. Options and warrants to purchase 36,846,902 and 32,912,286 shares of common stock at
March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, determined using the treasury stock method, were not
included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect would be antidilutive.
These securities, had they been dilutive, would have been included in the computation of diluted
net loss per share using the treasury stock method. 3. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue from products sold when persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, the price is fixed or determinable, delivery has occurred and collectibility is reasonably
assured. The Company recognizes revenue for product sales upon transfer of title. Transfer of title
for the majority of the Companys customers occurs upon shipment, as those customers have terms of
FOB: shipping point. For those customers that have terms other than FOB: shipping point, transfer
of title generally occurs once products have been delivered to the customer or the customers
freight forwarder. The Company accrues for estimated sales returns, and other allowances at the
time of shipment. Certain of the Companys product sales are made to distributors under agreements
allowing for price protection and/or right of return on unsold products. The Company defers
recognition of revenue on these sales until the distributors sell the products. The Company may
also sell certain products with End of Life status to its distributors under special arrangements
without price protection or return privileges for which revenue is recognized upon transfer of
title, typically upon shipment. The Company enters into license agreements, some of which may contain multiple elements,
including technology license and support services, or non-standard terms and conditions. As a
result, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements
with Multiple Deliverables and the Securities and Exchange Commissions Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 104, Revenue Recognition, significant interpretation of these agreements is sometimes
required to determine the appropriate accounting, including whether deliverables specified in a
multiple element arrangement should be treated as separate units of accounting for revenue
recognition purposes, and if so, how the price should be allocated among the deliverable elements
and when to recognize revenue for each element. The Company recognizes revenue from license
agreements when earned, which generally occurs when agreed-upon deliverables are provided, or
milestones are met and confirmed by licensees and relative fair values of multiple elements can be
determined. Additionally, license revenues and maintenance and service revenues are recognized if
collectibility is reasonably assured and if the Company is not subject to any future performance
obligation. The Company recognizes revenue from maintenance agreements based on the fair value of
such agreements ratably over the period in which such services are rendered. Royalty revenue is
recognized upon receipt of royalty payments from customers. License and service revenue were $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004, respectively. License and service revenue included revenue
recognized in connection with a trademark and technology licensing agreement entered during fiscal
2003, which service revenue amounted to $198,000 and $195,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2005 and March 31, 2004, respectively. The remaining license and service revenue of $250,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2005 was related to service revenue for a technology and
professional services agreement entered in March 2004. Additionally, the Company received a total
of $14.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 for technology transfer service fees
related 7

to two agreements with its LongRun2 licensing partners. The Company has not recognized revenue
on these amounts, which amounts are included in deferred revenue, as the Company had not completed
the delivery of all the required deliverables. 4. Stock Based Compensation The Company has elected to use the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employee, as permitted by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, subsequently amended
by SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation  Transition and Disclosure to account for
stock options issued to its employees under its stock option plans, and amortizes deferred
compensation, if any, ratably over the vesting period of the options. Expense associated with
stock-based compensation is amortized on an accelerated basis over the vesting period of the
individual award consistent with the method described in FASB Interpretation 28, Accounting for
Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plan. Accordingly,
approximately 59% of the unearned deferred compensation is amortized in the first year, 25% in the
second year, 12% in the third year, and 4% in the fourth year following the date of grant. Pursuant
to SFAS 123, Transmeta discloses the pro forma effect of using the fair value method of accounting
for its stock-based compensation arrangements. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of options is amortized to pro
forma expense over the options vesting period using an accelerated graded method. Pro forma

 The fair value for the Companys stock-based awards is estimated at the date of grant using a
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the input of highly
subjective assumptions, including expected stock price volatility. Because the Companys
stock-based awards have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and
because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate,
in managements opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure
of the fair value of its stock-based awards. The fair value of options granted was determined based
on estimated stock price volatility. The weighted average assumptions used to determine fair value
were as follows: Options

 In the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $0.2
million to cost of revenue related to the valuation of inventory on hand, which resulted in a
reduction of the carrying value of that inventory. As a component of this charge and in computing
inventory valuation adjustments as a result of lower of cost or market considerations, the Company
reviews the inventory on hand and inventory on order. In estimating the net realizable value of the
inventory on hand and in determining whether the inventory on hand was in excess of anticipated
demand, the Company took into consideration current assumptions regarding the Companys future
plans on its products and the related potential impact on customer demand and average selling
prices. Inventories written down to net realizable value at the close of a fiscal period are not
marked up in subsequent periods. Of the $3.2 million and $5.4 million of net inventory on hand at
March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, $1.1 million and $2.4 million of net inventory,
respectively, were adjusted to their net realizable value. For the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded a benefit to gross margin from
the sale of previously written down inventory of $1.2 million and $34,000, respectively. In the
first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company experienced an unexpected increase in demand for this
previously written down inventory from customers who received notice of the Companys intention to
discontinue certain products and to substantially raise the ASPs on other products, which increased
demand and ASPs resulted in approximately $0.6 million of the $1.2 million benefit noted above.
Also included in the benefit of $1.2 million noted above was $0.6 million associated with the sale
in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 of inventory that was improperly written down in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2004. The Company expects to realize additional gross margin benefit in future
periods from the sale of such improperly written down inventory but does not expect such benefit to
be material to any future period. Gross margin may be impacted from future sales of other
previously written down inventory to the extent that the associated revenue exceeds or fails to
achieve the currently adjusted value of that inventory. 7. Deferred Revenue The
Company received a total of $14.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 for
technology transfer service fees related two agreements with its LongRun2 licensing partners. The
Company has not recognized revenue on these amounts, as the Company had not completed the delivery
of all the required deliverables. 8. Restructuring Charges In the first quarter of fiscal 2005, Transmeta recorded a $1.3 million restructuring charge as
a result of the Companys strategic restructuring plan to focus its ongoing efforts on licensing
its advanced technologies and intellectual property, engaging in synergistic engineering services
opportunities and continuing its product business on a modified basis. The restructuring charge
recorded in connection with this March 2005 restructuring consisted primarily of workforce
reduction costs for termination benefits. The Company expects to pay this charge in the
second quarter of fiscal 2005 for the approximately 51 employees that were terminated on March 31,
2005. Additionally, the Company anticipates recording a workforce
reduction charge of between $0.4
million and $0.6 million in future periods, primarily for severance and fringe benefits related to
the 14 employees that are on transition. The Company will accrue for
these charges as the related liabilities are incurred. Of this amount, the Company
expects to pay between $0.3
million and $0.5 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2005 and $0.1 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 2005 as the employees terminate during these periods. 9

In the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company recorded a $10.6 million restructuring
charge as a result of the Companys decision to cease development and productization of the TM6000
microprocessor. The restructuring charge consisted primarily of lease costs, equipment write-offs
and other costs as the Company identified a number of leased facilities as well as leased and owned
equipment that were no longer required. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company reassessed the adequacy of the remaining
accrual and adjusted the accrued restructuring costs as a result of an update in certain underlying
assumptions. During the third quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company reassessed the adequacy of the remaining
accrual and adjusted the accrued restructuring costs as a result of an update in certain underlying
assumptions. In view of current market conditions, the Company has no assumptions of subleasing
previously vacated space that remains unused as of September 30, 2004. As a result of this update
in assumptions, the Company adjusted the accrued restructuring costs and recorded a charge of $0.9
million in restructuring charges. Accrued restructuring charges consist of the following at March 31, 2005 (in thousands): Charges Recordedin connection with the June 2002RestructuringBuilding Leasehold CostsBalance at December 31, 2004

 9. Related Party Transaction Transmeta entered into a trademark and technology licensing agreement during fiscal 2003 with
Chinese 2 Linux (Holdings) Limited, whereby the Company became a 16.6% beneficial owner of Chinese
2 Linux (Holdings) Limited. In relation to this agreement, the Company recognized license revenue
of $198,000 and $195,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004,
respectively. 10. Geographic and

11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123(R), Share-Based
Payment. SFAS 123(R); requires employee
stock options and rights to purchase shares under stock participation plans to be accounted for
under the fair value method, and eliminates the ability to account for these instruments under the
intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25 and allowed under the original provisions
of SFAS 123. SFAS 123(R) requires the use of an option pricing model for estimating fair value,
which is amortized to expense over the service periods. In April 2005, the SEC announced the
adoption of a new rule which amends the effective date for SFAS
123(R). The requirements of SFAS
123(R) are effective for annual fiscal periods beginning after
June 15, 2005. SFAS 123(R) allows
for either prospective recognition of compensation expense or retrospective recognition, which may
be back to the original issuance of SFAS 123 or only to interim periods in the year of adoption.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of
SFAS 123(R). 12. Legal Proceedings The Company is a party in one consolidated lawsuit. Beginning in June 2001, the Company,
certain of its directors and officers, and certain of the underwriters for its initial public
offering were named as defendants in three putative shareholder class actions that were
consolidated in and by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in In
re Transmeta Corporation Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, Case No. 01 CV 6492. The
complaints allege that the prospectus issued in connection with the Companys initial public
offering on November 7, 2000 failed to disclose certain alleged actions by the underwriters for
that offering, and alleges claims against the Company and several of its officers and directors
under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under Sections 10(b) and
Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Similar actions have been filed
against more than 300 other companies that issued stock in connection with other initial public
offerings during 1999-2000. Those cases have been coordinated for pretrial purposes as In re
Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, Master File No. 21 MC 92 (SAS). In July 2002, the
Company joined in a coordinated motion to dismiss filed on behalf of multiple issuers and other
defendants. In February 2003, the Court granted in part and denied in part the coordinated motion
to dismiss, and issued an order regarding the pleading of amended complaints. Plaintiffs
subsequently proposed a settlement offer to all issuer defendants, which settlement would provide
for payments by issuers insurance carriers if plaintiffs fail to recover a certain amount from
underwriter defendants. Although the Company and the individual defendants believe that the
complaints are without merit and deny any liability, but because they also wish to avoid the
continuing waste of management time and expense of litigation, they accepted plaintiffs proposal
to settle all claims that might have been brought in this action. Our insurance carriers are part
of the proposed settlement, and the Company and the individual Transmeta defendants expect that
their share of the global settlement will be fully funded by their director and officer liability
insurance. Although the Company and the Transmeta defendants have approved the settlement in
principle, it remains subject to several procedural conditions, as well as formal approval by the
Court. It is possible that the parties may not reach a final written settlement agreement or that
the Court may decline to approve the settlement in whole or part. In the event that the parties do
not reach agreement on the final settlement, the Company and the Transmeta defendants believe that
they have meritorious defenses and intend to defend any remaining action vigorously. 13. Subsequent Events On May 12, 2005, Transmeta Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and Microsoft Corporation, a
Washington corporation, entered into a series of related definitive development services agreements
(collectively, the Microsoft Agreement). Under the Microsoft Agreement, Transmeta will provide
development services to Microsoft relating to a proprietary Microsoft project. 11

Item 2.Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed
consolidated financial statements and the related notes contained in this report and with the
information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and
subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The information
contained in this report is not a complete description of our business or the risks associated with
an investment in our common stock. We urge you to carefully review and consider the various
disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports filed regularly with the SEC, some
of which reports discuss our business in greater detail. This report contains forward-looking statements that are based upon our current expectations,
estimates and projections about our industry, and that reflect our beliefs and certain assumptions
based upon information made available to us at the time of this report. Words such as
anticipates, expects, intends, plans, believes, seeks, estimates, may, could,
will and variations of these words or similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning
anticipated trends or developments in our business and the markets in which we operate, the
competitive nature and anticipated growth of those markets, our expectations for our future
performance and the market acceptance of our products, our ability to migrate our products to
smaller process geometries, and our future gross margins, operating expenses and need for
additional capital. Investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statements are only predictions, which may
differ materially from actual results or future events. These statements are not guarantees of
future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to
predict. Some of the important risk factors that may affect our business, results of operations and
financial condition are set out and discussed below in the section entitled Risks That Could
Affect Future Results. You should carefully consider those risks, in addition to the other
information in this report and in our other filings with the SEC, before deciding to invest in our
company or to maintain or change your investment. Investors are cautioned not to place reliance on
these forward-looking statements, which reflect managements analysis only as of the date of this
report. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement for any
reason. Overview From Transmetas inception in 1995 through our fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, our
business model was focused primarily on designing, developing and selling highly efficient
x86-compatible software-based microprocessors. Since introducing our first family of microprocessor
products in January 2000, we have derived the majority of our revenue from selling our
microprocessor products. Although we believe that our products deliver a compelling balance of low
power consumption, high performance, low cost and small size, we have had negative cash flows and
had incurred a cumulative loss aggregating $649.4 million as of December 31, 2004. Accordingly, we
have diversified our business model to establish a revenue stream based upon the licensing of
certain of our intellectual property and advanced computing and semiconductor technologies
developed in the course of Transmetas research and development programs. Since March 2004, we have
entered into and announced agreements granting licenses to NEC Electronics, Fujitsu Limited and
Sony Corporation to use Transmetas proprietary LongRun2 technologies for power management and
transistor leakage control. Those licensing agreements include deliverable-based technology
transfer fees, maintenance and service fees, and subsequent royalties on products incorporating the
licensed technologies. 12

In January 2005, we announced that we were critically evaluating the economics of our
microprocessor product business; that we intended to modify our business model during the first
quarter of 2005 to increase our efforts to license our intellectual property and advanced
technologies; and that we would announce a modified business model and related restructuring plan
on or about March 31, 2005. During the first quarter of 2005, we began modifying our business model
to further leverage our intellectual property rights and to increase our business focus on
licensing our advanced power management and other proprietary technologies to other companies. By
increasing our focus on our licensing and service business, we expect to increase revenue from our
licensing and service activities in 2005 and beyond. During the first quarter of 2005, we also took
action to reduce our operating expenses by discontinuing certain of our products, increasing prices
for our products, and changing our terms and conditions of sale. On March 31, 2005, we announced a
strategic restructuring plan that included a reduction of our workforce. Although we anticipate
that our restructuring plan will improve the negative gross margins and further reduce our
operating expenses associated with our product business, we also anticipate that our modified
business model will further reduce our historic business focus on product sales. Our restructuring plan included a reorganization of our management team and some changes in
our executive officers. Arthur L. Swift, formerly our Senior Vice President of Marketing, was
promoted and appointed as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company on March 31, 2005.
Matthew R. Perry, our President and Chief Executive Officer since April 2002, and Fred Brown, our
Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales since October 2001, both left the Company on March 31,
2005. In addition, as part of our modified business model, we have continued our efforts to develop
strategic alliances with other companies that could enable us to leverage our microprocessor design
and development capabilities in order to raise operating capital and to improve or enhance our
business in other ways. For example, on March 31, 2005, we entered into a design services agreement
with Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. and Sony Corporation (collectively, the Sony Group). Under
that agreement, which has a term of two years unless terminated earlier, Transmeta will provide the
design and engineering services of more than one hundred Transmeta engineers to work on advanced
projects for Sony Group. We believe that our March 2005 agreement with Sony Group will make a
positive contribution to our operations, consistent with our modified
business model, beginning in the
second quarter of 2005. We are currently engaged in discussions with other companies regarding
potential strategic alliance and engineering services agreements that would enable us to leverage
our microprocessor design and development capabilities in order to raise operating capital and to
improve or enhance our business in other ways. Our total revenue for the first three months in fiscal 2005 was $6.9 million, compared to $5.2
million in the corresponding period last year. Our total revenue increased primarily due to an
increase in units shipped for our Efficeon products and an increase in customer demand for the products for which we had issued
end-of-life notices. As a percent of product revenue, our product gross margin was 25.8% for the
first three months in fiscal 2005, compared to negative 7.3% for the corresponding period last
year. The increase in our gross margin was primarily attributed to the positive gross margin from
sales of inventory that had been written down in prior periods in
anticipation of reduced customer demand for certain products. In addition and to a
lesser extent, lower
manufacturing costs due to reduced average unit cost to manufacture
our products contributed to the increase in gross margin in the first
quarter of fiscal 2005. To a lesser
extent, the higher ASPs associated with the sales of our Efficeon products also contributed to our
increased product gross margins. We have historically reported negative cash flows from operations because the gross profit, if
any, generated from our product and licensing revenues has not been sufficient to cover our
operational cash requirements. Our total operating expenses were $23.2 million for the first three
months in fiscal 2005, compared to $23.2 million for the corresponding period last year. Our net
loss was $21.1 million for the first three months in fiscal 2005, compared to $23.4 million for the
corresponding period last year. Historically we have incurred significant losses, and as of March
31, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of $670.4 million. We expect to improve our results of
operations by increasing our focus on our licensing and service business and to improve the gross
margins associated with the sales of our 90 nanometer Efficeon microprocessors with an increase in
product prices and favorable changes to our terms and conditions of sale. We expect to reduce our
overall operating expenses in 2005 based on our modified business model. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment balances and
cash from operations will be sufficient to fund our operations, planned capital and R&D
expenditures for the next twelve months on the modified business model and related restructuring
plan that we announced on March 31, 2005. On February 25, 2005, the Companys Board of Directors resolved to change the fiscal year from
one ending on the last Friday in December to a fiscal year ending the last calendar day in
December. This change is not deemed a change in fiscal year for purposes of reporting subject to
Rule 13a-10 or 15d-10 because the Companys fiscal year 2005 commenced with the end of its fiscal
year 2004. The Companys fiscal year 2004 ended on
December 31, 2004. The first quarter of fiscal 2005 ended on
March 31, 2005 and the first quarter of fiscal
2004 ended on March 26, 2004. 13

For ease of presentation, the accompanying
financial information has been shown as of December 31 and calendar quarter ends for all annual and
quarterly financial statement captions. Critical Accounting Policies The process of preparing financial statements requires the use of estimates on the part of our
management. The estimates used by management are based on our historical experiences combined with
managements understanding of current facts and circumstances. Certain of our accounting policies
are considered critical as they are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and
results and require significant or complex judgment on the part of management. For a description of
what we believe to be our most critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 filed with the SEC on March 29, 2005.
There have been no changes in any of our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2004. Results of Operations Total Revenue Our products are targeted at a broad range of computing platforms, particularly
battery-operated mobile devices and applications that need high performance, low power consumption
and low heat generation. Such platforms include notebook computers, ultra-personal computers, or
UPCs, tablet PCs, thin clients, blade servers and embedded computers. Total revenue, which includes
product and license and service revenue, for each computing market, is presented as a percentage of
total revenue in the following table: Three Months EndedMarch 31,

 With the introduction of our TM8000 Efficeon products for the embedded and server computing
market segment, we saw an increase in revenue for this market segment. Although our products
continue to be used in the thin client desktops and notebook computers, our revenue from these
market segments, as a percentage of total product revenue, decreased for the three months ended
March 31, 2005 compared to the corresponding period last year. Tablet PCs revenues declined as a
result of a product line transition within a major customer account. UPCs revenue reflects the
launch of that platform in late 2004. We have derived the majority of our revenue from a limited number of customers. Additionally,
we derive a significant portion of our revenue from customers located in Asia, which subjects us to
economic cycles in that region, as well as the geographic areas in which they sell their products
containing our microprocessors. The following table presents our sales to customers, each of which
is located in Asia, that accounted for more than 10% of total revenue for the three months ended

 Total revenue was $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to $5.2
million for the corresponding period last year, representing an increase of $1.7 million, or 32.7%. Product revenue increased $1.4 million, from $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31,
2004 to $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase was due to increased
revenue from our Efficeon products, which had their first full year of sales in fiscal 2004.
Revenue from Efficeon represented 29% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2005,
compared to 17% of total revenue for the corresponding period in the prior year. Additionally, we
saw an increase in units shipped for our Crusoe product line, as a result of an increase in
customer demand for Crusoe products for which we had issued end-of-life notices. License and service revenue included revenue recognized in connection with a trademark and
technology licensing agreement entered during fiscal 2003, which service revenue amounted to
$198,000 and $195,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004, respectively.
The remaining license and service revenue of $250,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was
related to service revenue for a technology and professional services agreement entered in March
2004. In addition, we received a total of $14.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005
for technology transfer fees and maintenance service fees related to two agreements with two
licensees of our proprietary LongRun2 advanced power management and transistor leakage control
technologies. We have not recognized revenue on these amounts, which are instead included in
deferred revenue, because we had not completed the delivery of all the required deliverables. Product Gross Margin Our product gross margin is comprised of the components displayed in the following table,

ended March 31, 2005, from 98.3% for the corresponding period last year. Gross margin was adversely affected during both periods by unabsorbed overhead
costs as our production-related infrastructure exceeded our needs. For the three months ended
March 31, 2005, these unabsorbed costs were $0.3 million, or 4.4% of product revenue, compared to
$0.5 million, or 9.7% of product revenue, for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in our
product costs was primarily the result of lower manufacturing costs associated with the Efficeon
TM8000 processors, which had higher costs in the first quarter of
fiscal 2004 when the product was
new to the market. Additionally, the activities from which
manufacturing costs are allocated to overhead has decreased from the
comparable period in the prior year. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, we recorded inventory-related charges of $0.2
million consisting of charges related to excess quantities and net realizable value of inventory on
hand. These charges primarily related to our Crusoe and 130 nanometer Efficeon processors. Of the $3.2 million and $5.4 million net inventory on hand at March 31, 2005 and December 31,
2004, respectively, $1.1 million and $2.4 million of net inventory, respectively, were adjusted to
their net realizable value, which was lower than cost. Inventories written down to net realizable
value at the close of a fiscal period are not marked up in subsequent periods. The benefit to gross margin from
the sale of previously written down inventory was $1.2 million and
$34,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The write down of
inventory in prior periods was based on historical sales trends which suggested that the carrying
value of the related inventory exceeded its anticipated realizable value. However, in the first
quarter of fiscal 2005, we experienced an unexpected increase in demand for this previously written
down inventory from customers who received notice of our intention to discontinue certain products
and to substantially raise the ASPs on other products, which increased demand and ASPs resulted in
approximately $0.6 million of the $1.2 million benefit noted above. Also included in the benefit of $1.2 million discussed above was $0.6 million associated with
the sale in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 of inventory that was improperly written down in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. We expect to realize additional gross margin benefit in future
periods from the sale of such inventory, but we do not expect such benefit to be material to any
future period. In addition, future gross margin benefit is expected to be realized as a result of sales order
activity and pricing levels higher than those previously anticipated at the time the related
inventory was written down. Research and Development Research and development (R&D) expenses were $12.2 million for the three months ended March
31, 2005, compared to $12.7 million for the corresponding period in the prior year, representing an
increase of $0.5 million, or 3.9%. The decrease in R&D expenses was due to decreased non-recurring
engineering charges of $1.7 million and depreciation and software maintenance expenses of $1.0
million, partially offset by increased compensation-related expenses of $2.1 million. The decrease
in non-recurring engineering charges was primarily due to our decision to modify our product
business by providing customers with our Crusoe and 130nm Efficeon processors on an end-of-life
basis only, and by continuing to manufacture select models of our 90nm Efficeon processor for
critical customers under modified terms and conditions. The decrease in depreciation expenses was
primarily due to certain property and equipment being written off when we performed an impairment
assessment of long-lived assets during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. The increase in
compensation-related expenses was primarily the result of a program that we had put in place to
retain employees until we had announced our strategic restructuring plan on March 31, 2005. We
anticipate that our research and development spending in future periods will be invested to further
develop our advanced power management and other computing technologies. Selling, General and Administrative Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $8.0 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2005, compared to $6.7 million for the corresponding periods last year,
representing an increase of $1.3 million, or 19.4%. The increase in SG&A expenses was due to
increases in consultant and accounting expenses of $1.4 million and compensation-related expenses
of $0.8 million, partially offset by decreases in advertising expenses of $0.3 million and travel
and tradeshow expense of $0.2 million. The increased consultant and accounting expenses were
primarily due to costs incurred in relation to efforts to comply with Section 404 Managements
Internal Controls and Procedures for Financial Reporting of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as well
as increased costs for financial advisory services. The increase in compensation-related expenses
was primarily the result of a program that we had put in place to retain employees until we had
announced our strategic restructuring plan on March 31, 2005. Advertising and travel and tradeshow
expenses had decreased primarily due to decreased activities to promote awareness of our product
line of business in connection with our decision to focus our ongoing efforts on licensing advanced
technologies and intellectual property, engaging in synergistic engineering services opportunities
and continuing our product business on a modified basis. 16

Restructuring Charges In the three month period ended March 31, 2005, we recorded restructuring charges of $1.3
million, primarily comprised of severance and termination charges related to the reduction in
workforce in connection with our strategic restructuring plan. We expect to pay this charge in the
second quarter of fiscal 2005 for the approximately 51 employees that were terminated on March 31,
2005. Additionally, we anticipate recording a workforce reduction
charge of between $0.4 million
and $0.6 million in future periods, primarily for severance and fringe benefits related to the 14
employees that are on transition. Of this amount, we expect to pay
between $0.3 million and $0.5
million during the second quarter of fiscal 2005 and $0.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal
2005. Amortization of Deferred Charges, Patents and Patent Rights Amortization of deferred charges, patents and patent rights were $1.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2005, compared to $2.4 million for the corresponding period last year.
Amortization charges relate to various patents and patent rights acquired from Seiko Epson and
others during fiscal 2001. Also included in the amortization charges are accretion expenses
associated with the liability recorded from the acquisition of these patents and patent rights. The
decreases can be attributed to a decrease in accretion expenses, as the liabilities associated with
the patents and patent rights have been either paid in full or accreted to its future value as of
December 31, 2004. Stock Compensation Stock compensation was a credit of $34,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared
to a charge of $1.4 million for the same period last year. As we had completed the amortization of deferred stock compensation during the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2004, no additional amortization expenses were recorded for the three months ended March
31, 2005. Net amortization of deferred stock compensation for the three months ended March 31,
2004 was $0.2 million. Variable stock compensation is based on the excess, if any, of the current market price of our
stock as of the period-end over the purchase price of the stock award, adjusted for vesting and
prior stock compensation expense recognized on the stock award. Variable stock compensation for the
three months ended March 31, 2005 was a credit of $34,000, primarily as a result of the lower
market value of our common stock at March 31, 2005 compared to December 31, 2004, the previously
valued date. This compares to a charge of $1.1 million in variable stock compensation for the same
period last year, which was comprised of $0.5 million in expenses related to adjustments made for
certain notes receivable from stockholders that had been fully paid and $0.6 million in expenses
related to the higher market price of our common stock at the time of repayment of notes from
stockholders compared to fiscal year end 2003. Interest Income and Other, Net and Interest Expense Interest income and other, net was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005,
compared to $0.2 million for the corresponding period last year. Interest expense was $0.1 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to $15,000 for the corresponding period last
year. The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of interest expense related to the
$5.0 million in long-term payables for a technology license agreement. Liquidity and Capital Resources We have historically reported negative cash flows from our operations because the gross
profit, if any, generated from our product revenues and our license and service revenues has not
been sufficient to cover our operating cash requirements. From our inception in 1995 through the
first quarter of fiscal year 2005, we incurred a cumulative loss aggregating $670.4 million, which
included net losses of $21.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, $106.8 million in fiscal
2004, $87.6 million in fiscal 2003 and $110.0 million in fiscal 2002, which losses have reduced
stockholders equity to $38.5 million at March 31, 2005. As of March 31, 2005 we had $42.0 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments
compared to $53.7 million at December 31, 2004. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment balances and
cash from operations will be sufficient to fund our operations, planned capital and R&D
expenditures for the next twelve months under the modified business model and related restructuring
plan that we announced on March 31, 2005. During the first quarter of 2005, we began modifying our
business model to further leverage our intellectual property rights and to increase our business
focus on licensing our advanced power 17

management and other proprietary technologies to other companies. By increasing our focus on
our licensing and service business, we expect to increase revenue from our licensing and service
activities in 2005 and beyond. During the first quarter of 2005, we also took action to reduce our
operating expenses by discontinuing certain of our products, increasing prices for our products,
and changing our terms and conditions of sale. On March 31, 2005, we announced a strategic
restructuring plan that included a reduction of our workforce. Although we anticipate that our
restructuring plan will improve the negative gross margins and further reduce our operating
expenses associated with our product business, we also anticipate that our modified business model
will further reduce our historic business focus on product sales. In addition, as part of our modified business model, we have continued our efforts to develop
strategic alliances with other companies that could enable us to leverage our microprocessor design
and development capabilities in order to raise operating capital and to improve or enhance our
business in other ways. For example, on March 31, 2005, we entered into and announced a design
services agreement with Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. and Sony Corporation (collectively, the
Sony Group). Under that agreement, which has a term of two years unless terminated earlier,
Transmeta will provide the design and engineering services of more than one hundred Transmeta
engineers to work on advanced projects for Sony Group. We believe that our March 2005 agreement
with Sony Group will make a positive contribution to our operations, consistent with our
modified business model, beginning in the second quarter of 2005. We are currently engaged in
discussions with other companies regarding potential strategic alliance and engineering services
agreements that would enable us to leverage our microprocessor design and development capabilities
in order to raise operating capital and to improve or enhance our business in other ways. Although
it is possible that we might raise additional operating capital or create new prospects by means of
one or more strategic alliances with other companies, we have no assurance that we will achieve any
such strategic alliance or that any such strategic alliance, if achieved, will prove favorable for
us or our business. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a
going concern under our modified business model, and we believe that, despite the many risks and
contingencies relating to our modified business model and related restructuring plan, our recent
changes to our business model and our implementation of that restructuring plan have eliminated any
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern until at least March 31, 2006. To date, we have financed our operational expenses and working capital requirements primarily
with funds that we raised from the sale of our common stock. Although it is possible that we might
raise additional capital by means of one or more strategic alliances, or through public or private
equity or debt financing, we have no assurance that any additional funds will be available on terms
favorable to us or at all. The following comparison table summarizes our usage of cash and cash equivalents for the three

 Net
cash used in operating activities was $13.3 million for the three months ended March 31,
2005, compared to $20.2 million for the corresponding period in fiscal 2004. Net cash used during
the first three months of fiscal 2005 was primarily the result of a net loss of $21.1 million and
an increase in accounts receivable of $2.3 million. The net loss and changes in operating assets
and liabilities were partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and other accrued
liabilities of $4.7 million, a decrease in inventory of $2.2 million, non-cash charges related to
amortization of patents and patent rights of $1.7 million and non-cash restructuring charges of
$1.3 million. The increase in the accounts receivable balance was primarily attributed to
increased product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the corresponding
period last year.
The increase in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities was primarily attributed to
increased deferred revenue from licensees of our proprietary LongRun2 technologies for power
management and transistor leakage control, offset by decreases in accounts payable and accrued
inventory-related charges. Net cash provided by investing activities was $8.5 million for the three months ended March
31, 2005, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $22.6 million for the corresponding
period in fiscal 2004. This change was primarily due to $8.6 million in net proceeds from the
maturity of available-for-sale investments for the first three months of fiscal 2005, compared to
$21.9 million in net purchases of available-for-sale investments for the same period last year. 18

Net
cash provided by financing activities was $1.8 million for the three months ended March
31, 2005, compared to $13.2 million for the corresponding period in fiscal 2004. For the three
months ended March 31, 2005, we received $1.8 million in net proceeds from sales of common stock
under our employee stock purchase and stock options plans, compared to $2.3 million for the same
period last year. Additionally, we received $10.2 million in 2004 when our underwriters exercised
their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 3.75 million shares of our common stock in
relation to our December 2003 common stock offering. At March 31, 2005, we had $14.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and $27.7 million in

Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123(R), Share-Based Payment. SFAS 123(R) requires employee
stock options and rights to purchase shares under stock participation plans to be accounted for
under the fair value method, and eliminates the ability to account for these instruments under the
intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, and allowed under the original provisions
of SFAS 123. SFAS 123(R) requires the use of an option pricing model for estimating fair value,
which is amortized to expense over the service periods. In April 2005, the SEC announced the
adoption of a new rule which amends the effective date for SFAS 123(R). The requirements of SFAS
123(R) are effective for annual fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS 123(R) allows
for either prospective recognition of compensation expense or retrospective recognition, which may
be back to the original issuance of SFAS 123 or only to interim periods in the year of adoption. We
are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123(R). Risks that Could Affect Future Results The factors discussed below are cautionary statements that identify important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking
statements in this Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q. If any of the following risks actually occurs,
our business, financial condition and results of operations would suffer. In this case, the trading
price of our common stock could decline and investors might lose all or part of their investment in
our common stock. 19

We have a history of losses, expect to incur further significant losses and must develop and
successfully execute on a modified business model and restructuring plan if we are to sustain our
operations. We have historically reported negative cash flows from operations because the gross profit, if
any, generated from our product revenue and our licensing and service revenue has not been
sufficient to cover our operating cash requirements. Since our inception, we have incurred a
cumulative loss aggregating $670.4 million, which includes net losses of $21.1 million during the
first three months of fiscal 2005, $106.8 million in fiscal 2004, $87.6 million in fiscal 2003 and
$110.0 million in fiscal 2002, which losses have reduced stockholders equity to $38.5 million at
March 31, 2005. At the end of 2004, we determined that our existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term
investment balances and cash from operations would not be sufficient to fund our operations,
planned capital and R&D expenditures for the next twelve months under the business model that we
pursued during and through the end of 2004, which business model was primarily focused on
designing, developing and selling software-based x86-compatible microprocessor products. See
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations  Liquidity
and Capital Resources. Accordingly, we undertook a critical evaluation of our customers
requirements for our products and of the economics and competitive conditions in the market for
x86-compatible microprocessors, and we announced a modified business model and a related
restructuring plan based in part on that evaluation in March 2005. We must execute successfully on
our modified business model and related restructuring plan in order to continue to operate for a
period that extends at least through March 31, 2006. We might fail to execute our restructuring plan or to operate successfully under our modified
business model. In March 2005, we announced a modified business model and related restructuring plan. As part
of this modified business model, we have decided to focus our ongoing efforts on licensing our
advanced technologies and intellectual property, engaging in synergistic engineering services
opportunities and continuing our product business on a modified basis to focus on those customer
opportunities and product models that are economically advantageous for the company. The
modification of our business model entails significant risks and costs, and we might not succeed in
operating within this model or under our restructuring plan for many reasons. These reasons include
the risks that we might not be able to develop viable products or technologies, achieve market
acceptance for our products or technologies, earn adequate revenues from the sale of our products
or from our licensing and services business, or achieve profitability. Employee concern about
changes in our business model or the effect of such changes on their workloads or continued
employment might cause our employees to seek or accept other employment, depriving us of the human
and intellectual capital that we need in order to succeed. Because we necessarily lack historical
operating and financial results for our modified business model, it will be difficult for us, as
well as for investors, to predict or evaluate our business prospects and performance. Our business
prospects would need to be considered in light of the uncertainties and difficulties frequently
encountered by companies undergoing a business transition or in the early stages of development.
The modification of our business model might also create uncertainties and cause our stock price to
fall and impair our ability to raise additional capital. Our restructuring plan and related reductions in our workforce may adversely affect the morale and
performance of our personnel, the rate of attrition among our personnel, our ability to hire new
personnel and our ability to conduct our business operations. As part of our effort to reduce operating expenses under our modified business model, we
announced a financial restructuring and related reduction in our workforce on March 31, 2005. Our
restructuring plan includes the termination of employment of some of our employees and contractors,
and included a reorganization of our management team and some changes in our executive officers.
Our restructuring plan and related workforce reduction will cause us to incur substantial costs
related to severance and other employee-related costs. Our workforce reduction may also subject us
to litigation risks and expenses. In addition, our restructuring plan may yield unanticipated
consequences, such as attrition beyond our planned reduction in workforce. As a result of these
reductions, our ability to respond to unexpected challenges may be impaired and we may be unable to
take advantage of new opportunities. In addition, some of the employees who were terminated had
specific and valuable knowledge or expertise, the loss of which may adversely affect our
operations. Further, the reduction in force may reduce employee morale and may create concern among
existing employees about job security, which may lead to increased attrition or turnover. As a
result of these factors, our remaining personnel may decide to seek other employment, including
opportunities with more established companies or with smaller, private companies, and we may have
difficulty attracting new personnel that we might wish to hire in the future. We might not be able to execute on our modified business model and restructuring plan if we lose
key management or technical personnel, on whose knowledge, leadership and technical expertise we
rely. Our success under our modified business model and restructuring plan will depend heavily upon
the contributions of our key management and technical personnel, whose knowledge, leadership and
technical expertise would be difficult to replace. Many of these individuals have been with us for
several years and have developed specialized knowledge and skills relating to our technology and
lines of business. We have recently lost some of our executive
management. For instance, Matthew R. Perry, our President and Chief 20

Executive Officer since April 2002, and Fred Brown, our Senior Vice President of Worldwide
Sales since October 2001, both left the Company in March 2005, and Ray Holzworth, our Vice
President of Operations since August 2002, left the Company in February 2005. Others have joined us
in key management roles only recently. In March 2005, Arthur L. Swift, formerly our Senior Vice
President of Marketing, became our President and Chief Executive Officer, and in September 2004,
Mark R. Kent joined us as our Chief Financial Officer. All of our executive officers and key
personnel are employees at will. We have no employment contracts and do not maintain key person
insurance on any of our personnel. We might not be able to execute on our modified business model
or restructuring plan if we were to lose the services of any of our key personnel. If any of these
individuals were to leave our company unexpectedly, we could face substantial difficulty in hiring
qualified successors and could experience a loss in productivity while any such successor develops
the necessary training and experience. We may not be able to raise any more financing, or financing may only be available on terms
unfavorable to us or our stockholders. Although we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment
balances and cash from operations will be sufficient to fund our operations, planned capital and
R&D expenditures for the next twelve months under our modified business model and related
restructuring plan, it is possible that we may need to raise significant additional funds through
public or private equity or debt financing in order to continue operations under our modified
business model. Further, as we continue to develop new technologies or to enhance our products or
service competencies in accordance with our modified business model, we might require more cash to
fund our operations. In addition, we may begin to generate positive cash flow from operations later
than anticipated or we may never generate positive cash flow from operations. A variety of other
business contingencies could contribute to our need for funds in the future, including the need to:  
    fund expansion;
    fund marketing expenditures;
    develop new products or enhance existing products;
    enhance our operating infrastructure;
    hire additional personnel;
    respond to customer concerns about our viability;
    respond to competitive pressures; or
    acquire complementary businesses or technologies. If we were to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt
securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders would be reduced, and these newly issued
securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our then-existing
stockholders. For example, in order to raise equity financing, we may decide to sell our stock at a
discount to our then current trading price, which may have an adverse effect on our future trading
price. Additional financing might not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If we are
unable to raise additional funds or to sustain our operations on a modified business model in the
future, then substantial doubt may develop as to our ability to continue to operate our business as
a going concern, with substantial adverse effects on the value of our common stock and our ability
to raise additional capital. This uncertainty may also create concerns among our current and future
customers, vendors and licensees as to whether we will be able to fulfill our obligations or, in
the case of customers, fulfill their future product or service needs. As a result, our current and
prospective customers, licensees and strategic partners might decide not to do business with us, or
only do so on less favorable terms and conditions. Employee concern about the future of the
business and their continued prospects for employment may cause employees to seek employment
elsewhere, depriving us of the human and intellectual capital we need to be successful. We may fail to meet the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market, which may
cause our stock to be delisted and result in reduced liquidity of our stock, reduce the trading
price of our stock, and impair our ability to raise financing. We have recently received notices of potential delisting of our stock from the Nasdaq National
Market based on our failure to satisfy certain continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq
National Market, and we may be unable to satisfy those requirements in the future. To maintain our
listing on the Nasdaq National Market, we are required, among other things, both to make timely
regular filings of periodic reports with the SEC and to maintain a minimum bid price per share of
at least $1.00. On May 18, 2005, we received notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff
indicating that because the Nasdaq Stock Market had not as of that date received this report on
Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2005, our securities are subject to potential delisting
from the Nasdaq Stock Market and, as a result of our filing delinquency, a fifth character, E,
was appended to our trading symbol, changing it from TMTA to TMTAE. On May 19, 2005, we received
notice from the Nasdaq National Market that the daily minimum bid price of our common stock had
fallen, and remained below, $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days. As a result, we were as of that
date out of compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price for continued inclusion of our common stock
in the Nasdaq National Market and have, under Nasdaq rules, until November 15, 2005 to achieve
compliance with the minimum bid price rule. We might not be able to regain compliance with that
rule. If we are unable to regain compliance, our common stock may be delisted from the Nasdaq
National Market. Delisting from the Nasdaq National Market would adversely affect the trading price
and limit the liquidity of our common stock and therefore cause the value of an investment in our
company to substantially decrease. If our common stock were to be delisted, holders of our common
stock would be less able to purchase or sell shares as quickly and as inexpensively as they have
done historically. For instance, failure to obtain listing on another market or exchange may make
it more difficult for traders to sell our securities. Broker-dealers may be less willing or able to
sell or make a market in our common stock. The loss or discontinuation of our Nasdaq National
Market listing may result in a decrease in the trading price of our common stock due to a decrease
in liquidity, reduced analyst coverage and less interest by institutions and individuals in
investing in our common stock. 21

If we fail to constitute an independent Board of Directors by the time of our next annual
stockholders meeting, our common stock could be delisted, which would reduce the liquidity of our
stock and would likely result in a further decrease in the trading price of our stock. In order to maintain our Nasdaq continued listing requirements, we also must satisfy the
specific requirement that a majority of the members of our Board of Directors are independent,
within the meaning of Nasdaq rules, by the time of our next annual meeting of stockholders. We
expect that our meeting of stockholders for 2005 will be held in May or June 2005. Our Board of
Directors, as currently constituted, would not satisfy this requirement, and we must adjust the
membership of our Board of Directors in order to achieve that requirement by the time of our annual
meeting of stockholders. If we are unable to meet the Board independence requirement for any
reason, our common stock may be delisted. If our common stock were to be delisted, holders of our
common stock would be less able to purchase or sell shares as quickly and as inexpensively as they
have done historically. For instance, failure to obtain listing on another market or exchange may
make it more difficult for traders to sell our securities. Broker-dealers may be less willing or
able to sell or make a market in our common stock. Not maintaining a listing on a major stock
market may result in a decrease in the trading price of our common stock due to a decrease in
liquidity, reduced analyst coverage and less interest by institutions and individuals in investing
in our common stock. Our product revenue and our product business may be negatively impacted by modifications to our
business model that we have recently implemented or are contemplating. During the first quarter of 2005, as part of our transition to a modified business model, we
began taking action to reduce our operating expenses by discontinuing certain of our products,
increasing prices for our products, and changing our terms and conditions of sale, which actions we
anticipate will improve the negative gross margins historically associated with our product
business. Accordingly, we have advised our customers that we plan to discontinue production of our
Crusoe products during 2005. We have provided our Crusoe customers an End-of-Life notice and we
will continue to work closely with our customers during this transition period. Based upon our
review of critical customer needs, we have also decided to narrow our Efficeon product line and
announced to our customers that certain versions of the Efficeon products will be discontinued. Our
modified business model will further reduce our historic business focus on product sales, and we
will further reduce operating expenses associated with our product business as part of our
restructuring plan, including the reduction of our workforce. The actions that we have taken or
contemplate taking likely will result in lost sales as target customers design a competitors
microprocessor into their product, to replace our own microprocessors. We expect to continue
evaluating the business of designing, developing and selling our Efficeon processors, and we may
decide to discontinue some or all of our remaining Efficeon products in 2005 as we refine our
modified business model. The success of our licensing and service business depends on maintaining and increasing our
LongRun2 licensing revenue. Our licensing and service revenue was $0.4 million during the first three months of 2005,
$10.7 million in fiscal year 2004 and $1.1 million in fiscal year 2003. In 2005, our licensing and
service revenue will depend upon revenue that we receive from existing licensing agreements and our
entering into new licensing agreements. Our ability to enter into new LongRun2 licensing agreements
depends in part upon the adoption of our LongRun2 technology by our licensees and potential
licensees and the success of the products incorporating our technology sold by licensees. While we
anticipate that we will continue our efforts to license our technology to licensees, we cannot
predict the timing or the extent of any future licensing revenue, and recent levels of license
revenues may not be indicative of future periods. We have limited visibility regarding when and to what extent our licensees will use our LongRun2 or
other licensed technologies. We have not yet earned or received any royalties under any of our LongRun2 licensees. Our
receipt of royalties from our LongRun2 licenses depends on our licensees incorporating our
technology into their manufacturing and products, their bringing their products to market, and the
success of their products. Our licensees are not contractually obligated to manufacture, distribute
or sell products using our licensed technologies. Thus, our entry into and our full performance of
our obligations under our LongRun2 licensing agreements do not necessarily assure us of any future
royalty revenue. Any royalties that we are eligible to receive are based upon our licensees use of
our licensed technologies and, as a result, we do not have direct access to information that would
enable us to forecast the timing and amount of any future royalties. Factors that negatively affect
our licensees and their customers could adversely affect our future royalties. The success of our
licensees is subject to a number of factors, including:  
    the competition these companies face and the market acceptance of their products;
    the pricing policies of our licensees for their products incorporating our technology and
whether those products are competitively priced;
    the engineering, marketing and management capabilities of these companies and technical
challenges unrelated to our technology that they face in developing their products; and
    the financial and other resources of our licensees. Because we do not control the business practices of our licensees and their customers, we have
little influence on the degree to which our licensees promote our technology. 22

Our licensing and services revenue cycle is long and unpredictable, which makes it difficult to
predict future revenues, which may cause us to miss analysts estimates and may result in
unexpected changes in our stock price. It is difficult to predict accurately our future revenues from either the granting of new
licenses or the generation of royalties by our licensees under our existing licenses. In addition,
engineering services are dependent upon the varying level of assistance desired by licensees and,
therefore, revenue from these services is also difficult to predict. There can be no assurance that
we can accurately estimate the amount of resources required to complete projects, or that we will
have, or be able to expend, sufficient resources required to complete a project. Furthermore, there
can be no assurance that the development schedules of our licensees will not be changed or delayed.
Our licensees are not obligated to continue using our licensed technology or to use future
generations of our technologies in future manufacturing processes, and therefore our past contract
revenue may not be indicative of the amount of such revenue in any future period. All of these
factors make it difficult to predict future licensing and service revenue, which may result in us
missing analysts estimates and may cause unexpected changes in our stock price. We could encounter a variety of technical and manufacturing problems that could delay or prevent us
from satisfying customer demand for Efficeon TM8000 series microprocessors manufactured using a 90
nanometer process. We are using Fujitsu Limited to manufacture our 90 nanometer Efficeon TM8000 series
microprocessors. Manufacturing on an advanced 90 nanometer CMOS process involves a variety of
technical and manufacturing challenges. Fujitsu Limited has limited experience with the 90
nanometer CMOS process and, although we have achieved production of our Efficeon TM8800 product on
the Fujitsu Limited 90 nanometer CMOS process, we cannot be sure that Fujitsu Limiteds 90
nanometer foundry will achieve production shipments on our planned schedule or that other
manufacturing challenges might later arise. For example, during 2001 and again in 2004, we
experienced yield problems as we migrated our products to smaller geometries, which caused
increases in our product costs, delays in product availability and diversion of engineering
personnel. If we encounter problems with the manufacture of the Efficeon TM8000 series
microprocessors using the 90 nanometer process that are more significant or take longer to resolve
than we anticipate, our ability to fulfill our customer demand would suffer and we could incur
significant expenses. Our restructuring plan will very likely reduce our resources and ability to pursue opportunities
and support customers in emerging markets for our microprocessor products. The modification of our business model will further reduce our historical business focus on
product sales, and we will further reduce operating expenses associated with our product business
as part of our restructuring plan, including the reduction of our workforce. Our restructuring plan
will likely substantially limit our resources and ability to pursue opportunities in emerging
markets for which our products are suited, including new classes of computing devices such as UPCs
and other unique PC form factors, which require newly developed technologies, extensive development
time, and marketing support. We face intense competition in the x86-compatible microprocessor and power management markets. Many
of our competitors are much larger than we are and have significantly greater resources. We may not
be able to compete effectively. The market for microprocessors is intensely competitive. We may not be able to compete
effectively against current and potential competitors, especially those with significantly greater
resources and market leverage. Competition may cause price reductions, reduced gross margins and
loss of market share, any one of which could significantly reduce our future revenue and increase
our losses. For example, we may determine to lower the prices of our products in order to increase
or maintain market share, which would likely increase our losses. Significant competitors in the x86-compatible microprocessor product market include Intel,
Advanced Micro Devices and VIA Technologies. Our current and potential competitors have longer
operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, product development and marketing
resources, greater name recognition and significantly larger customer bases than we do. Our
competitors may be able to develop products comparable or superior to those we offer, adapt more
quickly than we do to new technologies, evolving industry trends and customer requirements, and
devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we can. Many
of our competitors also have well-established relationships with our existing and prospective
customers and suppliers. As a result of these factors, many of our competitors, either alone or
with other companies, have significant influence in our target markets that could outweigh any
advantage that we may possess. For example, negotiating and maintaining favorable customer and
strategic relationships are and will continue to be critical to our business. If our competitors
use their influence to negotiate strategic relationships on more favorable terms than we are able
to negotiate, or if they structure relationships that impair our ability to form strategic
relationships, our competitive position and our business would be substantially damaged. 23

In particular, Intel has dominated the market for x86-compatible microprocessors for many
years. We may be adversely affected by Intels pricing decisions, product mix and introduction
schedules, marketing strategies and influence over industry standards and other market participants
and the loyalty of consumers to the Intel brand. We cannot be sure that we can compete effectively
against Intel even in the market segments that we intend to target. In 2003, Intel introduced a new microprocessor that is focused on the notebook computer market
segment and designed to consume less power than its prior microprocessors. We expect that Intel,
and potentially other microprocessor companies, will increasingly seek to offer microprocessors
specifically targeted at many of the same market segments that we have served and intend to serve,
which could adversely affect our ability to compete successfully. Furthermore, our competitors may merge or form strategic relationships that might enable them
to offer, or bring to market earlier, products that are superior to ours in terms of features,
quality, pricing or other factors. We expect additional competition from other established and
emerging companies and technologies. We also expect to face substantial competition in our licensing and services business, in
which we have focused primarily on licensing our advanced power management and transistor leakage
control technologies. The development of such technologies is an emerging field subject to rapid
technological change, and our competition is unknown and could increase. Our LongRun2 technologies
are highly proprietary and, though the subject of patents and patents pending, are marketed
primarily as trade secrets subject to strict confidentiality protocols. Although we are not aware
of any other company having developed, offered or demonstrated any comparable power management or
leakage control technologies, we note that most semiconductor companies have internal efforts to
reduce transistor leakage and power consumption in current and future semiconductor products.
Indeed, all of our current and prospective licensees are larger, technologically sophisticated
companies, which generally have significant resources and internal efforts to develop their own
technological solutions. We may experience manufacturing difficulties that could increase the cost and reduce the supply of
our products. The fabrication of wafers for our microprocessors is a highly complex and precise process that
requires production in a tightly controlled, clean room environment. Minute impurities,
difficulties in the fabrication process, defects in the masks used to print circuits on a wafer or
other factors can cause numerous die on each wafer to be nonfunctional. The proportion of
functional die expressed as a percentage of total die on a wafer is referred to as product yield.
Semiconductor companies frequently encounter difficulties in achieving expected product yields,
particularly when introducing new products. Yield problems may not be identified and resolved until
a product has been manufactured and can be analyzed and tested, if ever. As a result, yield
problems are often difficult, time-consuming and expensive to correct. We have experienced yield
problems in the past, and we may experience yield problems in the future that impair our ability to
deliver our products to our customers, increase our costs, adversely affect our margins and divert
the efforts of our engineering personnel. Difficulties in achieving the desired yields often occur
in the early stages of production of a new product or in the migration of manufacturing processes
to smaller geometries. We could experience difficulties in achieving desired yields or other
manufacturing problems in the production of our Efficeon TM8000 series products that could delay
our ability to deliver Efficeon TM8000 series products, adversely affect our costs and gross
margins and harm our reputation. Even with functional die, normal variations in wafer fabrication
can cause some die to run faster than others. Variations in speed yield could lead to excess
inventory of the slower, less valuable die, a resulting unfavorable impact on gross margins and an
insufficient inventory of faster products, depending upon customer demand. Our lengthy and variable product sales cycles make it difficult for us to predict when and if a
design win will result in volume shipments. We depend upon other companies designing our microprocessors into their products, which we
refer to as design wins. Many of our targeted customers consider the choice of a microprocessor to
be a strategic decision. Thus our targeted customers may take a long time to evaluate our products,
and many individuals may be involved in the evaluation process. We anticipate that the length of
time between our initial contact with a customer and the time when we recognize revenue from that
customer will vary. We expect our sales cycles to range typically from six to 12 months, or more,
from the time we achieve a design win to the time the customer begins volume production of products
that incorporate our microprocessors. We do not have historical experience selling our products
that is sufficient for us to determine accurately how our sales cycles will affect the timing of
our revenue. Variations in the length of our sales cycles could cause our revenue to fluctuate
widely from period to period. While potential customers are evaluating our products and before they
place an order with us, we may incur sales and marketing expenses and expend significant management
and engineering resources without any assurance of success. The value of any design win depends
upon the commercial success of our customers 24

##### Table of Contents



products. If our customers cancel projects or change product plans, we could lose anticipated
sales. We can offer no assurance that we will achieve further design wins or that the products for
which we achieve design wins will ultimately be introduced or will, if introduced, be commercially
successful. If we fail to forecast demand for our products accurately, we could lose sales and incur inventory
losses. The demand for our products depends upon many factors and is difficult to forecast. Many
shipments of our products may be made near the end of the fiscal quarter, which makes it difficult
to estimate demand for our products. Significant unanticipated fluctuations in demand have caused,
and in the future could cause, problems in our operations. The lead-time required to fabricate
large volumes of wafers is often longer than the lead-time our customers provide to us for delivery
of their product requirements. As a result, we have only a limited ability to react to fluctuations
in demand for our products, which could cause us to have either too much or too little inventory of
a particular product. If demand does not develop as we expect, we could have excess production.
Excess production would result in excess inventories of product, which would use cash and could
result in inventory write-downs and write-offs. For example, we recorded a $6.8 million
inventory-related charge for the third quarter of fiscal 2004. We have limited capability to reduce
ongoing production once wafer fabrication has commenced. Conversely, if demand exceeds our
expectations, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, or TSMC, or Fujitsu Limited might not be
able to fabricate wafers as quickly as we need them. Also, Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, or
ASE, might not be able to increase assembly functions in a timely manner. In that event, we would
need to increase production and assembly rapidly or find, qualify and begin production and assembly
at additional manufacturers or providers of assembly and test services, which may not be possible
within a time frame acceptable to our customers. The inability of our product manufacturer or ASE
to increase production rapidly enough could cause us to fail to meet customer demand. In addition,
rapid increases in production levels to meet unanticipated demand could result in higher costs for
manufacturing and other expenses. These higher costs could lower our gross margins. We currently derive a substantial portion of our product revenue from a small number of customers,
and our revenue would decline significantly if any major customer were to cancel, reduce or delay a
purchase of our products. Our customer base for product sales is highly concentrated. For example, sales to four
customers in the aggregate accounted for 71% of total revenue during the first three months of
fiscal 2005. We expect that a small number of customers will continue to account for a significant
portion of our revenue. Our future revenue will depend upon the timing and size of future purchase
orders, if any, from these customers and new customers and, among other things, the success of our
customers in marketing products that incorporate our products, the product requirements of our
customers; and the financial and operational success of our customers. We expect that our sales to OEM customers will continue to be made on the basis of purchase
orders rather than long-term commitments. Many of our customers and potential customers are
significantly larger than we are and have sufficient bargaining power to demand changes in terms
and conditions of sale. The loss of any major customer, or the delay of significant orders from
these customers, could reduce or delay our recognition of revenue. 25

If our customers are not able to obtain the other components necessary to build their systems,
sales of our products could be delayed or cancelled. Suppliers of other components incorporated into our customers systems may experience
shortages, which could reduce the demand for our products. For example, from time to time, the
computer and semiconductor industries have experienced shortages of some materials and devices,
such as memory components, displays, and storage devices. Our customers could defer or cancel
purchases of our products if they are not able to obtain the other components necessary to build
their systems. We rely on an independent foundry that has no obligation to provide us with fixed pricing or
production capacity for the fabrication of our wafers, and our business will suffer if we are
unable to obtain sufficient production capacity on favorable terms. We do not have our own manufacturing facilities and, therefore, must rely on third parties to
manufacture our products. We currently rely on TSMC in Taiwan to fabricate the wafers for our
current 130 nanometer products, and we rely on Fujitsu Limited in Japan to manufacture our 90
nanometer Efficeon TM8000 series products. We do not have manufacturing contracts with TSMC or
Fujitsu Limited, and therefore we cannot be assured that we will have any guaranteed production
capacity. These foundries may allocate capacity to other companies products while reducing the
capacity available to us on short notice. Foundry customers that are larger than we and have
greater economic resources, that have long-term agreements with these foundries or that purchase in
significantly larger volumes than we may cause these foundries to reallocate capacity to them,
decreasing the capacity available to us. In addition, these foundries could, with little or no
notice, refuse to continue to fabricate all or some of the wafers that we require. If these
foundries were to stop manufacturing for us, we would likely be unable to replace the lost capacity
in a timely manner. Transferring to another manufacturer would require a significant amount of time
and money. As a result, we could lose potential sales and fail to meet existing obligations to our
customers. These foundries could also, with little or no notice, change the terms under which they
manufacture for us, which could cause our manufacturing costs to increase substantially. Our reliance on TSMC and Fujitsu Limited to fabricate our wafers limits our ability to control the
production, supply and delivery of our products. Our reliance on third-party manufacturers exposes us to a number of risks outside our control,
including the following:  
    unpredictability of manufacturing yields and production costs;
    interruptions in shipments;
    inability to control quality of finished products;
    inability to control product delivery schedules;
    potential lack of access to key fabrication process technologies; and
    potentially greater exposure to misappropriation of our intellectual property. We depend on ASE to provide assembly and test services. If ASE were to cease providing services to
us in a timely manner and on acceptable terms, our business would suffer. We rely on ASE, which is located in Taiwan, for the majority of our assembly and test
services. We do not have a contract with ASE for test and assembly services, and we typically
procure these services from ASE on a per order basis. ASE could cease to perform all of the
services that we require, or could change the terms upon which it performs services for us. If we
were required to find and qualify alternative assembly or testing services, we could experience
delays in product shipments, increased product costs or a decline in product quality. In addition,
as a result of our reliance on ASE, we do not directly control our product delivery schedules. If
ASE were not to provide high quality services in a timely manner, our costs could increase, we
could experience delays in the delivery of our products and our product quality could suffer. 26

If our products are not compatible with industry standards, hardware that our customers design into
their systems or that is used by end-users or software applications or operating systems for
x86-compatible microprocessors, market acceptance of our products and our ability to maintain or
increase our revenues would suffer. Our products are designed to function as components of a system. If our customers experience
system-level incompatibilities between our products and the other components in their systems, we
could be required to modify our products to overcome the incompatibilities or delay shipment of our
products until the manufacturers of other components modify their products or until our customers
select other components. These events would delay purchases of our products, cause orders for our
products to be cancelled or result in product returns. In addition, to gain and maintain market acceptance, our microprocessors must not have
significant incompatibilities with software for x86-compatible microprocessors, and in particular,
the Windows operating systems, or hardware used by end-users. Software applications, games or
operating systems with machine-specific routines programmed into them can result in specific
incompatibilities. If a particular software application, game or operating system is programmed in
a manner that makes it unable to respond correctly to our microprocessor, it will appear to users
of that software that our microprocessor is not compatible with that software. Software or hardware
incompatibilities that are significant or are perceived to be significant could hinder our products
from achieving or maintaining market acceptance and impair our ability to increase our revenues. In an effort to test and ensure the compatibility of our products with hardware and software
for x86-compatible microprocessors, we rely on the cooperation of third-party hardware and software
companies, including manufacturers of graphics chips, motherboards, BIOS software and other
components. All of these third-party designers and manufacturers produce chipsets, motherboards,
BIOS software and other components to support each new generation of Intels microprocessors, and
Intel has significant leverage over their business opportunities. If these third parties were to
cease supporting our microprocessor products, our business would suffer. Our products may have defects that could damage our reputation, decrease market acceptance of our
products, cause us to lose customers and revenue and result in liability to us. Highly complex products such as our microprocessors may contain hardware or software defects
or bugs for many reasons, including design issues or defective materials or manufacturing
processes. Often, these defects and bugs are not detected until after the products have been
shipped. If any of our products contains defects, or has reliability, quality or compatibility
problems, our reputation might be damaged significantly and customers might be reluctant to buy our
products, which could result in the loss of or failure to attract customers. In addition, these
defects could interrupt or delay sales. We may have to invest significant capital and other
resources to correct these problems. If any of these problems is not found until after we have
commenced commercial production of a new product, we might incur substantial additional development
costs. If we fail to provide solutions to the problems, such as software patches, we could also
incur product recall, repair or replacement costs. These problems might also result in claims
against us by our customers or others. In addition, these problems might divert our technical and
other resources from other development efforts. Moreover, we would likely lose, or experience a
delay in, market acceptance of the affected product or products, and we could lose credibility with
our current and prospective customers. This is particularly significant as we are a new entrant to
a market dominated by large well-established companies. 27

We are subject to general economic and market conditions. Our business is subject to the effects of general economic conditions in the United States and
worldwide and, in particular, market conditions in the semiconductor and computer industries. In
2001, 2002 and through parts of 2003, our operating results were adversely affected by unfavorable
global economic conditions and reduced information technology spending, particularly in Japan,
where we currently generate a substantial portion of our revenue. These adverse conditions resulted
in decreased demand for notebook computers and, as a result, our products, which are components of
notebook computers. Further, demand for our products decreases as computer manufacturers seek to
manage their component and finished product inventory levels. If the economic conditions in Japan
and worldwide do not improve, or worsen, we may continue to experience material adverse effects on
our business, operating results and financial condition. If we do not keep pace with technological change, our products may not be competitive and our
revenue and operating results may suffer. The semiconductor industry is characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new
product introductions and enhancements, and ongoing customer demands for greater performance. In
addition, the average selling price of any particular microprocessor product has historically
decreased substantially over its life, and we expect that trend to continue. As a result, our
products may not be competitive if we fail to introduce new products or product enhancements that
meet evolving customer demands. It may be difficult or costly for us, or we may not be able, to
enhance existing products to fully meet customer demands, particularly in view of our restructuring
plan. Advances in battery design, cooling systems and power management systems could adversely affect our
ability to achieve widespread market acceptance for our products. We believe that our ability to achieve widespread market acceptance for our products will
depend in large part on whether potential purchasers of our products believe that the low power
usage of our products is a substantial benefit. Advances in battery technology, or energy
technologies such as fuel cell technologies, that offer increased battery life and enhanced power
capacity, as well as the development and introduction of more advanced cooling systems, may make
microprocessor power consumption a less important factor to our customers and potential customers.
These developments, or developments in power management systems by third parties, may adversely
affect our ability to market and sell our products. Our products and technologies may infringe the intellectual property rights of others, which may
cause us to become subject to expensive litigation, cause us to incur substantial damages, require
us to pay significant license fees or prevent us from selling our products. Our industry is characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and frequent
claims and related litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. We cannot be
certain that our products and technologies do not and will not infringe issued patents, patents
that may be issued in the future, or other intellectual property rights of others. In addition,
leading companies in the semiconductor industry have extensive intellectual property portfolios
with respect to semiconductor technology. From time to time, third parties, including these leading
companies, may assert exclusive patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights
to technologies and related methods that are important to us. We expect that we may become subject
to infringement claims as the number of products and competitors in our target markets grows and
the functionality of products overlaps. We have received, and may in the future receive,
communications from third parties asserting patent or other intellectual property rights covering
our products. Litigation may be necessary in the future to defend against claims of infringement or
invalidity, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, to enforce our
intellectual property rights, or to protect our trade secrets. We may also be subject to claims
from customers for indemnification. Any resulting litigation, regardless of its resolution, could
result in substantial costs and diversion of resources. If it were determined that our products infringe the intellectual property rights of others,
we would need to obtain licenses from these parties or substantially reengineer our products and
technologies in order to avoid infringement. We might not be able to obtain the necessary licenses
on acceptable terms, or at all, or to reengineer our products and technologies successfully.
Moreover, if we are sued for infringement and lose the suit, we could be required to pay
substantial damages or be enjoined from licensing or using the infringing products or technology.
Any of the foregoing could cause us to incur significant costs and prevent us from selling our
products. 28

Any dispute regarding our intellectual property may require us to indemnify certain licensees, the
cost of which could severely hamper our business operations and financial condition. In any potential dispute involving our patents or other intellectual property, our licensees
could also become the target of litigation. Our LongRun2 license agreements provide limited
indemnities. Our indemnification obligations could result in substantial expenses. In addition to
the time and expense required for us to supply such indemnification to our licensees, a licensees
development, marketing and sales of licensed products incorporating our LongRun2 technology could
be severely disrupted or shut down as a result of litigation, which in turn could severely hamper
our business operations and financial condition. If we are unable to protect our proprietary rights adequately, our competitors might gain access to
our technology and we might not compete successfully in our markets. We believe that our success will depend in part upon our proprietary technology. We rely on a
combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secret laws and contractual obligations with
employees and third parties to protect our proprietary rights. These legal protections provide only
limited protection and may be time consuming and expensive to obtain and enforce. If we fail to
protect our proprietary rights adequately, our competitors might gain access to our technology. As
a result, our competitors might offer similar products and we might not be able to compete
successfully in our market. Moreover, despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights,
unauthorized parties may copy aspects of our products and obtain and use information that we regard
as proprietary. Also, our competitors may independently develop similar, but not infringing,
technology, duplicate our products, or design around our patents or our other intellectual
property. In addition, other parties may breach confidentiality agreements or other protective
contracts with us, and we may not be able to enforce our rights in the event of these breaches.
Furthermore, the laws of many foreign countries do not protect our intellectual property rights to
the same extent as the laws of the United States. We may be required to spend significant resources
to monitor and protect our intellectual property rights. Our pending patent and trademark applications may not be approved. Our patents, including any
patents that may result from our patent applications, may not provide us with any competitive
advantage or may be challenged by third parties. If challenged, our patents might not be upheld or
their claims could be narrowed. We may initiate claims or litigation against third parties based on
our proprietary rights. Any litigation surrounding our rights could force us to divert important
financial and other resources from our business operations. The evolution of our business could place significant strain on our management systems,
infrastructure and other resources, and our business may not succeed if we fail to manage it
effectively. Our ability to implement our business plan in a rapidly evolving market requires effective
planning and management process. Changes in our business plans could place significant strain on
our management systems, infrastructure and other resources. In addition, we expect that we will
continue to improve our financial and managerial controls and procedures. We will also need to
expand, train and manage our workforce worldwide. Furthermore, we expect that we will be required
to manage an increasing number of relationships with suppliers, manufacturers, customers and other
third parties. If we fail to manage change effectively, our employee-related costs and employee
turnover could increase and our business may not succeed. 29

We have significant international operations, which exposes us to risk and uncertainties. We have sold, and in the future we expect to sell, most of our products to customers in Asia.
In addition, TSMC and ASE are located in Taiwan, and the Fujitsu Limited foundry we use for our 90
nanometer product is located in Japan. In addition, we generally ship our products from a
third-party warehouse facility located in Hong Kong. In attempting to conduct and expand business
internationally, we are exposed to various risks that could adversely affect our international
operations and, consequently, our operating results, including:  
    difficulties and costs of staffing and managing international operations;
    fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
    unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, including imposition of currency exchange controls;
    longer accounts receivable collection cycles;
    import or export licensing requirements;
    problems in the timeliness or quality of product deliveries;
    potentially adverse tax consequences;
    major health concerns, such as SARS;
    political and economic instability, for example as a result of tensions between Taiwan
and the Peoples Republic of China; and
    potentially reduced protection for intellectual property rights. Our operating results are difficult to predict and fluctuate significantly. A failure to meet the
expectations of securities analysts or investors could result in a substantial decline in our stock
price. Our operating results fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, and we expect that our
operating results will fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of one or more of the
risks described in this section or as a result of numerous other factors. You should not rely on
quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations as an indication of our future
performance. Our stock price has declined substantially since our stock began trading publicly. If
our future operating results fail to meet or exceed the expectations of securities analysts or
investors, our stock price would likely decline from current levels. A large portion of our expenses, including rent and salaries, is fixed or difficult to reduce.
Our expenses are based in part on expectations for our revenue. If our revenue does not meet our
expectations, the adverse effect of the revenue shortfall upon our operating results may be acute
in light of the fixed nature of our expenses. We often make many shipments of our products at or
near the end of the fiscal quarter, which makes it difficult to estimate or adjust our operating
activities quickly in response to a shortfall in expected revenue. We might experience payment disputes for amounts owed to us under our LongRun2 licensing
agreements, and this may harm our results of operations. The standard terms of our LongRun2 license agreements require our licensees to document the
royalties owed to us from the sale of products that incorporate our technology and report this data
to us on a quarterly basis. While standard license terms give us the right to audit books and
records of our licensees to verify this information, audits can be expensive, time consuming, and
potentially detrimental to our ongoing business relationship with our licensees. Our failure to
audit our licensees books and records may result in us receiving more or less royalty revenues
than we are entitled to under the terms of our license agreements. The result of such royalty
audits could result in an increase, as a result of a licensees underpayment, or decrease, as a
result of a licensees overpayment, to previously reported royalty revenues. Such adjustments would
be recorded in the period they are determined. Any adverse material adjustments resulting from
royalty audits or dispute resolutions may result in us missing analyst estimates and causing our
stock price to decline. Royalty audits may also trigger disagreements over contract terms with our
licensees and such disagreements could hamper customer relations, divert the efforts and attention
of our management from normal operations and impact our business operations and financial
condition. 30

The price of our common stock has been volatile and is subject to wide fluctuations. The market price of our common stock has been volatile and is likely to remain subject to wide
fluctuations in the future. Many factors could cause the market price of our common stock to
fluctuate, including:  
    variations in our quarterly results;
    market conditions in our industry, the industries of our customers and the economy as a whole;
    announcements of technological innovations by us or by our competitors;
    introductions of new products or new pricing policies by us or by our competitors;
    acquisitions or strategic alliances by us or by our competitors;
    recruitment or departure of key personnel;
    the gain or loss of significant orders;
    the gain or loss of significant customers; and
    changes in the estimates of our operating performance or changes in recommendations by securities analysts. In addition, the stock market generally and the market for semiconductor and other
technology-related stocks in particular experienced a decline during 2000, 2001 and through 2002,
and could decline from current levels, which could cause the market price of our common stock to
fall for reasons not necessarily related to our business, results of operations or financial
condition. The market price of our stock also might decline in reaction to events that affect other
companies in our industry even if these events do not directly affect us. Accordingly, you may not
be able to resell your shares of common stock at or above the price you paid. Securities litigation
is often brought against a company following a period of volatility in the market price of its
securities, and we have been subject to such litigation in the past. Any such lawsuits in the
future will divert managements attention and resources from other matters, which could also
adversely affect our business and the price of our stock. Our California facilities and the facilities of third parties upon which we rely to provide us
critical services are located in regions that are subject to earthquakes and other natural
disasters. Our California facilities, including our principal executive offices, are located near major
earthquake fault lines. If there is a major earthquake or any other natural disaster in a region
where one of our facilities is located, our business could be materially and adversely affected. In
addition, TSMC, upon which we currently rely to fabricate our wafers, and ASE, upon which we
currently rely for the majority of our assembly and test services, are located in Taiwan. Fujitsu
Limited, which we expect will fabricate a significant amount of our wafers in the future, is
located in Japan. Taiwan and Japan have experienced significant earthquakes and could be subject to
additional earthquakes in the future. Any earthquake or other natural disaster in these areas could
materially disrupt our manufacturers production capabilities and ASEs assembly and test
capabilities and could result in our experiencing a significant delay in delivery, or substantial
shortage, of wafers and possibly in higher wafer prices. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, stockholder rights plan and Delaware law contain
provisions that could discourage or prevent a takeover, even if an acquisition would be beneficial
to our stockholders. Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware
law, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be
beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions include:  
    establishing a classified board of directors so that not all members of our board may be elected at one time;
    providing that directors may be removed only for cause and only with the vote of 66 2/3% of our outstanding shares;
    requiring super-majority voting to amend some provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws; 31

##### Table of Contents




    authorizing the issuance of blank check preferred stock that our board could issue to
increase the number of outstanding shares and to discourage a takeover attempt;
    limiting the ability of our stockholders to call special meetings of stockholders;
    prohibiting stockholder action by written consent, which requires all stockholder actions
to be taken at a meeting of our stockholders; and
    establishing advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our board or for
proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at stockholder meetings. In addition, the stockholder rights plan, which we implemented in 2002, and Section 203 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control. Our reported financial results may be adversely affected by changes in accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States are subject to interpretation by
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and various bodies formed to promulgate
and interpret appropriate accounting principles. A change in these principles or interpretations
could have a significant effect on our reported financial results, and could affect the reporting
of transactions completed before the announcement of a change. For example, we currently are not
required to record stock-based compensation charges if an employees stock option exercise price is
equal to or exceeds the deemed fair value of our common stock at the date of grant. However,
several companies have recently elected to change their accounting policies and begun to record the
fair value of stock options as an expense. The FASB published a pronouncement in December 2004 that
would require us to record expense for the fair value of stock options granted. The effective date
of the proposed standard is for periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Our future operating
expenses may be adversely affected in connection with the issuance of stock options. We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which
contributed to our need to amend our financial statements for the second quarter of fiscal 2004. In the course of preparing our financial statements for the third quarter of fiscal 2004,
material weaknesses, as defined in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Standard No. 2, were
identified in our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, material weaknesses were
identified with respect to our financial statement close process and our contract administration.
These material weaknesses contributed to post-closing adjustments and the resulting need to amend
our financial statements for the second quarter of fiscal 2004. Our amendment of our previously
released financial statements could diminish public confidence in the reliability of our financial
statements, which could harm our business and our stock price. In addition, we cannot assure you
that we will not in the future identify further material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in
our internal control over financial reporting. In compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we recently completed our system and
financial process evaluation and testing required for our management to assess the effectiveness of
our system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005.
In our evaluation, we identified certain material weaknesses as set out in Item 9A Controls and
Procedures of our reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004, and
below in Part I, Item 4 Controls and Procedures of this report on Form 10-Q. We have taken and
are taking steps to remediate the material weaknesses in our system of internal control over
financial reporting, but we have not completed our remediation effort, and there can be no
assurance that we will completely remediate our material weaknesses such that we will be able to
conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective and that our independent
registered public accounting firm will be able to express an opinion on the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting in the future. Changes in securities laws and regulations have increased our costs. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has required and will require changes in some of our corporate
governance, public disclosure and compliance practices. The Act also requires the SEC to promulgate
new rules on a variety of subjects. In addition to final rules and rule proposals already made by
the SEC, the National Association of Securities Dealers has adopted revisions to its requirements
for companies, such as us, that are listed on the NASDAQ National Market. These developments have
increased our legal and financial compliance costs and have made some activities, such as SEC
reporting requirements, more difficult. Additionally, we expect these 32

##### Table of Contents



developments to make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and
officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur
substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These developments could make it more difficult for
us to attract qualified executive officers and attract and retain qualified members of our board of
directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee. We are presently evaluating and monitoring
regulatory developments and cannot estimate the timing or magnitude of additional costs we may
incur as a result. 
 Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk Interest Rate Risk.As of March 31, 2005, we had cash equivalents and available-for-sale
investments of $42.0 million. Our cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments are exposed
to financial market risk due to fluctuations in interest rates, which may affect our interest
income. Over the past few years, we have experienced significant reductions in our interest income
due in part to declines in interest rates. These declines have led to interest rates that are low
by historical standards and we do not believe that further decreases in interest rates will have a
material impact on the interest income earned on our cash equivalents and short-term investments
held at March 31, 2005. Foreign Currency Exchange Risk.To date, all of our sales and substantially all of our
expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result, we have relatively little exposure to
foreign currency exchange risk. We do not currently enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge
exposures denominated in foreign currencies or any other derivative financial instruments for
trading or speculative purposes. However, in the event our exposure to foreign currency risk
increases, we may choose to hedge those exposures. Although we will continue to monitor our
exposure to currency fluctuations and, when appropriate, may use financial hedging techniques to
minimize the effect of these fluctuations, we cannot assure that exchange rate fluctuations will
not adversely affect our financial results in the future. 
 Item 4.Controls and Procedures Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial
officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31,
2005. The term disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it
files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported,
within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures
include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange
Act is accumulated and communicated to the companys management, including its principal executive
and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As described below, we have identified and reported to our audit committee of our board of
directors and Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, material
weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. As a result of these material
weaknesses, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of
March 31, 2005, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under
the supervision of, our CEO and CFO, and effected by our board of directors, management and other
personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts
and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management
and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have
a material effect on the financial statements. 33

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that
results in there being more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management assessed our internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, the end of our fiscal year. Based on this
assessment, management identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting
in the following six areas:  
    Period-end close and financial reporting;
    Contract administration;
    Inventory and cost accounting;
    Inadequate technical accounting staff;
    Fixed asset accounting; and
    Segregation of duties in Accounts Payable function. For information relating to the insufficient controls that resulted in the material weaknesses
noted above, please see the discussion under Item 9A. Controls and ProceduresManagement Report on
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting contained in our report on Form 10-K/A for the year
ended December 31, 2004. Remediation Actions to Address Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting During the first quarter of 2005, we focused our efforts on assessing our accounting and
finance staff requirements and began to interview qualified accounting and finance staff in order
to augment the expertise of our finance department, and to more effectively and efficiently address
the material weaknesses noted above. We also continue to work closely with our financial advisors
to assist us in addressing our control deficiencies and to improve our internal control
infrastructure. We anticipate that our remediation will continue throughout fiscal 2005, during which we
expect to continue pursuing appropriate corrective actions. Our management and audit committee will monitor
closely the implementation of our remediation plan. The effectiveness of the steps we have taken to
date and the steps we are still in the process of completing is subject to continued management
review, as well as audit committee oversight, and we are endeavoring to complete the remediation of
all material weaknesses by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. Currently, we are not
aware of any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting other than as
described above. Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls Our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, does
not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial
reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. Any control system, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control
systems objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there
are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can
provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all
control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These
inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that
breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the
individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of
the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about
the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of
controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with
policies or procedures. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005 that
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting. 34

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION 
 Item 1.Legal Proceedings The Company is a party in one consolidated lawsuit. Beginning in June 2001, the Company,
certain of its directors and officers, and certain of the underwriters for its initial public
offering were named as defendants in three putative shareholder class actions that were
consolidated in and by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in In
re Transmeta Corporation Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, Case No. 01 CV 6492. The
complaints allege that the prospectus issued in connection with the Companys initial public
offering on November 7, 2000 failed to disclose certain alleged actions by the underwriters for
that offering, and alleges claims against the Company and several of its officers and directors
under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under Sections 10(b) and
Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Similar actions have been filed
against more than 300 other companies that issued stock in connection with other initial public
offerings during 1999-2000. Those cases have been coordinated for pretrial purposes as In re
Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, Master File No. 21 MC 92 (SAS). In July 2002, the
Company joined in a coordinated motion to dismiss filed on behalf of multiple issuers and other
defendants. In February 2003, the Court granted in part and denied in part the coordinated motion
to dismiss, and issued an order regarding the pleading of amended complaints. Plaintiffs
subsequently proposed a settlement offer to all issuer defendants, which settlement would provide
for payments by issuers insurance carriers if plaintiffs fail to recover a certain amount from
underwriter defendants. Although the Company and the individual defendants believe that the
complaints are without merit and deny any liability, but because they also wish to avoid the
continuing waste of management time and expense of litigation, they accepted plaintiffs proposal
to settle all claims that might have been brought in this action. Our insurance carriers are part
of the proposed settlement, and the Company and the individual Transmeta defendants expect that
their share of the global settlement will be fully funded by their director and officer liability
insurance. Although the Company and the Transmeta defendants have approved the settlement in
principle, it remains subject to several procedural conditions, as well as formal approval by the
Court. It is possible that the parties may not reach a final written settlement agreement or that
the Court may decline to approve the settlement in whole or part. In the event that the parties do
not reach agreement on the final settlement, the Company and the Transmeta defendants believe that
they have meritorious defenses and intend to defend any remaining action vigorously.
