Item I. Business.

Introduction and Company History

Emulex Corporation is a leading designer, developer and supplier of a broad
line of storage networking host bus adapters, or HBAs, and application specific
computer chips, or ASICs, that provide connectivity solutions for storage area
networks, or SANs, network attached storage, or NAS, and redundant array of
independent disks, or RAID, storage. HBAs are the data communication products
that enable servers to connect to storage networks by offloading
communication-processing tasks as information is delivered and sent to the
network. Our products are based on internally developed ASIC and embedded
firmware and software technology, and offer support for a wide variety of SAN
protocols, configurations, system interfaces and operating systems. Emulexs
architecture offers customers a stable applications program interface, or API,
that has been preserved across multiple generations of adapters and to which
many of the worlds leading Original Equipment Manufacturers, or OEMs, have
customized software for mission-critical server and storage system
applications.

Emulex Corporations corporate headquarters are located at 3535 Harbor Blvd.,
Costa Mesa, California 92626, and our telephone number is (714) 662-5600. Our
Internet address is www.emulex.com. Our periodic and current reports filed
with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 are available free of
charge through our website as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports
are electronically filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

Emulex was organized as a California corporation in 1979. In 1987, Emulex
changed its state of incorporation from California to Delaware by the formation
of a Delaware corporation, which acquired all of the stock of the California
corporation. The California corporation continues to operate as a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Delaware corporation. In 1999 and 2002, Emulex completed a
secondary offering of our common stock and completed a private placement of
convertible subordinated notes, respectively. See note 9 of the Consolidated
Financial Statements for a more complete discussion of the convertible
subordinated notes.

In 1998, we began outsourcing the manufacturing of our product lines to an
electronics manufacturing service, or EMS, provider. This outsourcing resulted
in, among other things, the closing of our manufacturing facility and the
consolidating of our operations. See Item 1  Manufacturers and Suppliers for
a more complete discussion of the consolidation.

Substantially all of our revenues during 2003 were comprised of products based
on Fibre Channel technology. Our Fibre Channel development efforts began in
1992 and we shipped our first Fibre Channel product in volume in 1996.
According to IDC and Gartner Dataquest, in calendar 2002 we were the worlds
largest provider of Fibre Channel host bus adapters, in terms of revenue, ports
and units shipped. In March 2001, we acquired Giganet, Inc., a privately-held
developer of storage networking products based on Ethernet and Internet
Protocol, or IP, technologies. Our strategy with this acquisition was to
leverage Giganets technology and extend our market-leading HBA APIs into
Internet Small Computer Systems Interface, or iSCSI, and Virtual Interface, or
VI, based storage networking market sectors. Emulex has secured significant
customer relationships with the worlds leading storage and server suppliers,
including Dell, EMC, Fujitsu-Siemens, Groupe Bull, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi
Data Systems, IBM, NEC, Network Appliance and Unisys. In addition, we include
industry leaders Brocade, Computer Associates, Intel, Legato, McDATA, Microsoft
and Veritas among our strategic partners.

Industry Background

In recent years, the volume of stored electronic data in enterprises has
expanded significantly, due largely to the growth of data-intensive
applications such as online transaction processing, data mining, data
warehousing, multimedia and Internet applications. As a result, both the
capacity and number of storage devices in enterprises have increased.
Furthermore, with the increased use of, and reliance on, mission-critical
applications such as e-commerce and distributed enterprise software
applications, the real-time availability of electronic data has become more
important to the daily operations of enterprises. As a result, enterprises
face heightened requirements for data storage solutions that enable improved
access to, and management of, shared data, including solutions that offer
increased connectivity capabilities, higher performance and greater
reliability.

##### Table of Contents



Enterprises currently access, share and manage the rapidly expanding volume of
data utilizing two major data communications technologies: local area network,
or LAN, and input/output, or I/O. LAN technologies enable communications among
servers and client computers, while I/O technologies enable communications
between host computers and their attached high-speed peripherals. The
emergence of LAN architectures in the mid-1980s brought multiple benefits to
client-server data communications, including faster transmission speeds, shared
access to multiple servers and greater connectivity capabilities in terms of
the number of connected devices, as well as distance between devices. These
benefits, and the applications that leverage LAN technologies, drove the rapid
adoption of LAN architectures in the corporate enterprise during the 1990s.
As a result, the data communications pathway between servers and client
computers became largely networked with LAN technologies.

Although LAN architectures proliferated in client-server applications, until
recently, I/O pathways between servers and attached peripherals, notably
storage subsystems, failed to evolve to networking architectures. Instead,
traditional I/O architectures are server-centric, utilizing a
point-to-multipoint architecture, which requires that each storage subsystem in
the corporate enterprise be attached to a single server through which all
requested data must pass. With this traditional server-centric storage
architecture, also known as Direct Attached Storage, or DAS, dedicated storage
is attached to each server using I/O technologies such as Small Computer
Systems Interface, or SCSI. Remote storage systems are accessed through
LAN-attached file servers. Because data requests must traverse the LAN and
pass through the file server associated with the specific storage device, the
DAS model results in islands of storage behind each server. This circuitous
method of accessing data degrades network performance, increases latency, or
delays, for network users, drains server processing power and is difficult to
scale, particularly from a storage management perspective. With the dramatic
increase in information storage and retrieval requirements, system performance
has become increasingly constrained by the DAS architecture and its inability
to overcome communication bottlenecks and management challenges.

The Emergence of Networked Storage

In the late 1990s, in response to the increasing need for storage scalability,
manageability and reliability, enterprises began to deploy SANs. In this new
model, where the SAN exists as a complementary network to the LAN,
I/O-intensive traffic is offloaded from the LAN, enabling a more fail-safe I/O
channel, eliminating the bottlenecks that degrade I/O performance and creating
a platform for centralized storage management. Furthermore, like nodes on a
LAN, attached storage peripherals in a SAN can be managed and diagnosed to
detect errors, and traffic can be rerouted accordingly in the event of a
failure. A SAN essentially transforms dedicated servers and storage devices
into network resources, greatly improving the performance and scalability of
enterprise storage. By providing shared server access, the cost of expensive
enterprise storage can be spread across entire organizations. SANs are being
deployed to support an increasingly wide range of applications such as LAN-free
and serverless back-up, storage virtualization and disaster recovery.

More recently, NAS appliances have gained acceptance in the storage
marketplace. As a general rule, data is stored in block format in storage
devices, but must be converted to files before being used by operating systems
and applications. While SANs deliver block data to servers, NAS appliances
internally convert block data to files before delivering these files over a LAN
to servers or PCs. Although this configuration requires stored data to move
first to the NAS server before moving on to its ultimate destination, the NAS
architecture offers an easily deployable and scalable storage solution. In
high-end environments characterized by NAS file delivery to servers, a SAN may
be deployed behind a NAS, making NAS and SAN solutions complementary.
Furthermore, next-generation appliances that can deliver both block and file
data are beginning to emerge, further blurring the distinction between NAS and
SAN solutions.

The majority of SAN and NAS solutions installed today are delivered to end
users via integrated systems solutions offered by storage and computer system
OEMs. As networked storage gains market acceptance and SAN and NAS
installations interconnect increasingly diverse servers and storage subsystems,
OEMs are increasingly demanding storage networking products that are optimized
for heterogeneous connectivity, scalability, performance, customization and
lowest total cost of ownership. Gartner Dataquest expects that an increasing
percentage of storage systems revenue will consist of fabric-attached storage,
or NAS and SAN solutions.

Fibre Channel

In order to implement storage area networks, a new I/O networking technology
capable of interconnecting multiple host servers and storage devices was
required. Fibre Channel, an American National Standards Institute, or ANSI,
standard communications technology, was introduced in 1994 to address
traditional I/O limitations and emerged as the first storage networking
technology to be widely adopted by the worlds leading server and storage
systems manufacturers. Fibre Channel, now available in both one and two
gigabit per second solutions, offers the connectivity, distance and access
benefits of networking architectures combined with the high performance and low
latency needed for I/O applications.

##### Table of Contents



Fibre Channels advanced capabilities enabled new architectures such as SANs
that rely upon Fibre Channels ability to connect multiple host computers to
multiple storage systems, or storage arrays. Additionally, in order to enable
longer distance or higher performance connectivity than what could be provided
by SCSI, Fibre Channel has also been deployed in traditional DAS applications
such as RAID storage. In such implementations, RAID storage provides for
fault-tolerant direct-attached storage through the duplication of data over
multiple interconnected disk drives. As a result, Fibre Channel solutions are
implemented in both legacy DAS and emerging networked storage environments.
According to Gartner Dataquest, the market for Fibre Channel host bus adapters
is expected to expand from approximately $570 million in calendar 2002 to $1.4
billion in calendar 2007.

iSCSI

Although Gartner Dataquest expects that Fibre Channel will remain the dominant
storage networking interconnect through the 2007 time frame, a new storage
networking standard known as iSCSI has emerged that delivers the SCSI storage
protocol over the familiar IP, or Internet Protocol, and Ethernet transports
commonly deployed in LANs and WANs. The range of iSCSI connectivity solutions
spans simple Network Interface Cards, or NICs, that are commonly used for
Ethernet LAN applications, up to high performance iSCSI HBAs that offer full
protocol processing offload from the host computer. While this technology is
expected to remain in the early stages of development and deployment for the
next several years, iSCSI may find acceptance in smaller organizations or in
selected storage applications such as those requiring long-distance
communication transports. Gartner Dataquest forecasts that the market for iSCSI
HBAs will expand to approximately $230 million in 2007.

VI and RDMA

VI is a standardized interface designed for high performance, low latency
communications that can be layered over a variety of networking transports. One
of VIs key characteristics is its ability to enable remote direct memory
access, or RDMA, facilitating higher speed, lower latency communications
between adapters and applications residing on servers. RDMA technology reduces
data copy operations and latencies by allowing one computer to directly place
information in another computers memory with minimal demands on memory bus
bandwidth and CPU processing overhead, while preserving memory protection
semantics. To date, VIs primary application has been in very high performance
clustering environments served by proprietary transports. Our current VI
product has entered end-of-life status.

More recently, a proposed new VI-like interface named RDMA over Transmission
Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, has emerged, sponsored by the RDMA
Consortium. This new specification could result in a potentially more broadly
endorsed standard that offers some of the benefits of VI for file transfer and
other applications.

Disk Interface Technologies and the Transition to Serial Storage I/O

Traditionally, the hard disk drive industry has primarily utilized parallel I/O
interconnects such as SCSI and ATA for the drive I/O interface. Parallel I/O
technologies utilize multiple wires, as they require separate channels for
control information and actual data, whereas serial I/O technologies, such as
Fibre Channel, utilize a single wire over which all control and user data
passes. Because of the reduced complexity and higher reliability of serial
interfaces, the disk drive industry has begun a transition from parallel to
serial I/O. According to Gartner Dataquest, as legacy parallel technologies
such as SCSI fade, disk drives utilizing serial I/O are projected to quickly
grow from just 13 percent of the multi-user disk storage market in 2002 to a 98
percent share by 2007. The chief serial I/O technologies expected to dominate
HDD shipments in the future are Fibre Channel; Serial ATA, or SATA; and Serial
Attached SCSI, or SAS, while legacy parallel technologies such as SCSI and ATA
are expected to play a diminishing role.

The storage systems, or arrays, that are deployed in external multi-user
storage applications such as SANs typically require multiple embedded I/O ASICs
to provide an external storage I/O interface and to internally interconnect
disks inside the storage array to a controller that provides the arrays
intelligence. Because the disks inside of the storage array may utilize a
different I/O technology than the external I/O connection, multiple I/O
technologies may be required to fully serve storage array requirements. In the
past, many storage arrays installed in a Fibre Channel SAN utilized legacy SCSI
disks and I/O protocol chips internally, but connected externally to the SAN
via an embedded Fibre Channel ASIC. In recent quarters, some SAN-attached
storage arrays began to transition from parallel SCSI to serial I/O-based
internal architectures. This has created a growing embedded market opportunity
for multiprotocol serial I/O ASICs that can serve the full spectrum of emerging
serial I/O requirements.

Our Products

We are a leading designer, developer and supplier of Fibre Channel host bus
adapters, ASICs and embedded firmware and software products that enhance access
to, and storage of, electronic data and applications. According to IDC and
Gartner Dataquest, in calendar 2002 we were the worlds largest provider of
Fibre Channel HBAs, in terms of revenue, ports and units shipped. In 2002,
after our acquisition of Giganet, we entered the development-stage market for
iSCSI HBAs and VI/IP HBAs. We are also a supplier of Fibre Channel hubs, which
contribute immaterial revenue, as well as some traditional networking products
and cLAN adapters, which have both entered end-of-life status in previous
years.

Fibre Channel HBAs

Our HBAs constitute key components for comprehensive Fibre Channel SANs that
typically include host adapters, hubs, ASICs, firmware, software and switches.
We time our Fibre Channel introductions to address the growing demands of
enterprise customers, as well as the evolving speed and capacity capabilities
of complementary products.

Leveraging our expertise and experience in networking and I/O technology, we
have approached the storage problem with a networking perspective to maximize
the performance and management capabilities of our Fibre Channel solutions. We
believe the performance results of our HBA products are among the highest in
the industry, sustaining speeds in excess of 780 MB/sec and 135,000 I/O
transactions per second from a single chip HBA solution. Furthermore, our
products support high-performance connectivity features such as concurrent
multiprotocol data transmission, context cache for superior performance in
complex environments, end-to-end parity protection and other features to
enhance data integrity. Lastly, our products offer investment protection for
our OEM customers, who often develop specialized software to interface to our
adapters, because we have maintained a stable API since our first generation of
HBAs was introduced in 1996. More recently, we have expanded our software
functionally embedded in our HBAs to deliver high availability and remote
centralized management functionality that may be embedded in OEM and
independent software vendor, or ISV, SAN management products.

Fibre Channel HBAs connect host computers to a Fibre Channel network. Our
adapters support a wide range of operating systems and host computer system
interfaces, including both PCI-based Intel platforms and SBus-based Sun
Microsystems platforms. Our Fibre Channel host bus adapter line, which has
evolved from the LP6000 to the LP10000 in the high end, also encompasses
adapters such as the LP850, LP952, LP982 and LP1050, which are targeted at
midrange, open system environments. Our high-end HBAs target enterprise
systems that require customized software or special features, while our
midrange HBAs offer highly featured solutions for standard operating
environments. All of our adapter products share the same core ASIC
architecture and embedded software and firmware.

Our high-end adapters have always been designed to support a broad
implementation of the Fibre Channel specification, encompassing multiple
classes of service and all topologies, including full fabric support. Our high
end family of adapters support SBus, PCI and PCI-X system interfaces operating
at up to 133MHz, single and dual-channel form factors, the Compact PCI form
factor, the Low Profile form factor and auto-negotiated one and two gigabit per
second transmission speeds. In addition, our enterprise applications strategy
has led us to offer a variety of other features in our high-end adapters,
including additional context cache to enable high-speed throughput in complex
fabric installations, and support for the FICON protocol, a standard for IBM
mainframe storage over Fibre Channel SANs. Our high-end HBAs also provide the
widest range of physical interface options available, including copper,
short-wave optical and long-wave optical, as well as added buffer memory to
enable connectivity distances up to 100 kilometers. A broad range of operating
systems, including HP-UX, Linux, Netware, Solaris and Windows, are supported as
well. Our service level interface, or SLI, which is included with our high-end
adapters, is an API that allows our OEM customers to develop highly
differentiated products, while maintaining complete software compatibility
across product generations, enabling customers to leverage software
investments.

Our product line also includes mid-range adapters that support a standard open
systems environment based on Windows, Linux or NetWare. These open systems
host adapters include our LP850, LP952, LP982 and LP1050. Based on the same
ASIC architecture as our high-end adapters, our mid range adapters provide
similar throughput, and I/Os per second and many of the same features as our
high-end enterprise adapters but offer a cost-optimized, standardized solution
for the open systems market. We offer the LP850, LP952, LP982 and LP1050 with
fully certified drivers for Windows, Linux and NetWare, as well as basic
input/output system, or BIOS, and configuration utilities.

Fibre Channel ASICs

Emulex HBAs are based upon our internally-developed Fibre Channel I/O ASICs.
These ASICs can be utilized not only in HBAs, but in embedded I/O environments
as well, such as storage arrays and storage appliances. In addition, these
ASICs may also be embedded on computer motherboards where requirements for
Fibre Channel connectivity are well defined, including bladed configurations
such as blade servers.

While our embedded ASIC revenue remains relatively small, a growing percentage
of our total ASIC unit volume is comprised of ASICs that are sold into embedded
environments, which deliver incremental economies of scale for our overall
business.

The Intel Joint Development Agreement

In April 2003, Emulex and Intel Corporation announced an agreement to develop
next-generation storage processors that combine SATA, SAS and Fibre Channel I/O
technologies within a single multiprotocol architecture. These new serial
storage processors are intended to enable OEMs to utilize common hardware and
software components across their entire family of SATA, SAS and Fibre Channel
storage products, extending the value of OEM hardware and software investments.
Under the agreement, Emulex is developing the protocol controller hardware,
firmware and drivers. Intel is contributing its expertise in storage processor
technology development and will integrate its high-performance Intel® XScale
microarchitecture as the core technology for the new processors. Intel also
will manufacture the processors utilizing its 90-nanometer (nm) process
technology. Emulex will market the resulting Fibre Channel products, and Intel
will market the SATA and SAS products. We expect this multiprotocol serial
storage architecture to be applicable to our traditional HBA market as well as
new embedded markets, including blade server, storage array and storage
appliance applications.

iSCSI HBAs

Our GN9000/SI adapter is a one gigabit per second prototype iSCSI HBA that
became available in limited quantities for OEM evaluation during 2002. In order
to ease the migration between Fibre Channel and iSCSI technologies, the
GN9000/SI has been designed to leverage the Emulex SLI API utilized by OEM
customers that have developed customized software for our Fibre Channel host
bus adapters.

Other Products

Our Fibre Channel hubs provide centralized wiring connection, improved network
reliability and a monitoring point in Fibre Channel arbitrated loop
environments. In 1996, we became the first company to provide Fibre Channel
hubs to the market when we introduced our hub product line. In December 1998,
we introduced a line of digital Fibre Channel hubs that complemented our
earlier line of analog Fibre Channel hubs. With the growing popularity of
Fibre Channel switches, we have focused our Fibre channel efforts in the HBA
sector. Total hub revenue was immaterial in 2003.

As part of the traditional VI product family acquired with the Giganet
operation, Emulex offered the cLAN family of VI-enabled adapters and switches.
These products entered end-of-life status in 2002 and contributed immaterial
revenue in 2003. Our GN9000/VI HBA is a VI enabled intelligent Ethernet adapter
that has entered end-of-life status.

Our traditional networking products included printer servers and network access
products. We supplied both external and embedded printer servers, which
provide LAN connectivity for printers. Our network access products were
comprised of a variety of products that provided connectivity between computing
resources across both LANs and WANs. These networking products contain a set
of core technologies that includes drivers supporting a broad array of
operating systems and network interface technologies that span many LAN and WAN
specifications. We have eliminated resources dedicated to these traditional
networking products, and during the fourth quarter of 2000 we issued last time
buy notifications to customers for our traditional networking products.

Intellectual Property

Our ability to compete depends in part upon our ability to protect our
proprietary information through various means, including ownership of patents,
copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets, as well as through contractual
provisions.

We have a number of issued patents and pending patent applications in the U.S
and abroad. Most of our issued patents and pending patent applications relate
to our Fibre Channel technology or products. We maintain an active program of
obtaining patent protection for our inventions as development occurs and as new
products are introduced. Because of the

5

##### Table of Contents



rate of change of technology in our industry, we believe that the duration of
the patent protection available to us for our products is adequate to cover the
expected market duration for such products.

All of our software products, which are embedded within or provided for use
with our hardware products, are marked with copyright notices listing our
company as the copyright owner. We have been granted a number of registrations
of trademarks in the U.S. and abroad. We also have a number of pending
trademark registrations in the U.S. and abroad. We maintain an active practice
of marking our products with trademark notices. We have an active program of
renewing trademarks so that the duration of trademark protection is maintained
for as long as needed. Additionally, we rely on trade secret law and
contractual provisions to protect unique intellectual property we possess which
we have determined unnecessary or uneconomical to patent or copyright, or which
is not otherwise capable of more formal protection. Please also see the
information under Part I - Item 1 - Competition and Part I - Item 3 - Legal
Proceedings of this Form 10-K.

Engineering and Development

At June 29, 2003, we employed 243 engineers, other technicians and support
personnel engaged in the development of new products and the improvement of
existing products. Engineering and development expenses were $61.3 million,
$47.6 million and $27.0 million in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Selling and Marketing

We sell our products worldwide to OEMs; end users; and through other
distribution channels including value-added resellers, or VARs, systems
integrators, industrial distributors and resellers. Because the Fibre Channel
market has been dominated by OEMs, our focus is to use Fibre Channel sales
specialists to expand opportunities with our existing OEMs, as well as to
develop new OEM relationships. However, we are also expanding our distribution
efforts, leveraging worldwide distribution channels through technical
distributors such as VARs and systems integrators, to complement our core OEM
relationships. In some cases, OEM partners leverage the distribution channel to
deliver solutions to end-users, making our distribution efforts complementary
with our OEM-focused strategy.

Order Backlog

Due to an industry practice that allows customers to cancel or change orders
with limited advance notice prior to shipment, we do not believe that backlog
is a reliable indicator of future revenue levels. Furthermore, purchase
order release lead times depend upon the scheduling practices of the individual
customer, and the rate of booking new orders fluctuates from month to month.
Therefore, the level of backlog at any one time is not necessarily indicative
of trends in our business. At June 29, 2003, we had unshipped product orders
of approximately $77.6 million compared with approximately $76.8 million at
June 30, 2002. At year-end, all orders included in backlog were scheduled for
delivery within six months or less.

Seasonality

Our business fluctuates based on economic conditions and industry demand and we
do not believe that seasonality is a significant factor in our business.

Concentration of Customers, Revenue by Product Families and Geographic Area

See Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV, Item
14(a) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding
concentration of our customers as well as information regarding our revenue by
product family and geographic area. See also Risk Factors contained
elsewhere within Part I, Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for
discussion of the risks associated with the concentration of our customers, as
well as the risks associated with our revenue by product family and geographic
area.

Competition

The market for HBAs is intensely competitive and is characterized by frequent
new product introductions, changing customer preferences and evolving
technology and industry standards.

Our competition for Fibre Channel host bus adapter products consists primarily
of Agilent, JNI and QLogic. We may also compete indirectly with Fibre Channel
HBAs made internally by major systems providers, notably Hewlett-Packard. In
the emerging iSCSI marketplace where standards have yet to be finalized, we
expect to face competition from established Fibre Channel competitors as well
as new entrants, which may include established Ethernet suppliers such as Intel
and established

6

##### Table of Contents



SCSI vendors such as Adaptec. Across all storage networking technologies, we
face the threat of potential competition from new entrants into the storage
networking market, including large technology companies that may develop or
acquire differentiating technology and then apply their resources, including
established distribution channels and brand recognition, to obtain significant
market share.

We believe that the principal basis of storage networking HBA competition
presently includes interoperability, reliability, scalability, price,
performance, technical support and API stability. We believe that we compete
favorably with respect to these factors. We also believe that we have a
competitive strength in the alliances we have built with customers,
particularly our close relationships with OEM customers. We believe that our
experience with distribution channels will provide competitive benefits as the
storage networking market matures. Some of our other competitive advantages
include our early entry into Fibre Channel technology, our workforce of highly
experienced researchers and designers, our intellectual property and our
technical alliances with strategic partners such as Brocade, Cisco, Computer
Associates, Intel, Legato, McDATA, Microsoft and Veritas.

Our Fibre Channel products may also compete at the end-user level with other
technology alternatives, such as SCSI, which are available from companies such
as Adaptec, LSI Logic and QLogic, as well as a number of smaller companies. In
the future, other technologies that we are not currently developing may evolve
to address the applications served by Fibre Channel today.

Manufacturing and Suppliers

Our products consist primarily of electronic component parts assembled on
internally designed printed circuit boards that are sold as board-level
products. Most component parts can be purchased from two or more sources.
However, some key components that we use in our products may only be available
from single sources with which we do not have contracts. We may obtain sole
source components manufactured by companies such as Cypress, E20, Finisar, ICS,
Intel, IBM, Lattice, Micrel, Micron, Motorola, NEC, Quicklogic, Samsung, Seiko
Epson, Siliconix, Tundra Semiconductor and Vitesse. In addition, we design our
own ASICs that are embedded in our products. These ASICs are also sole sourced
and manufactured by third-party semiconductor foundries including IBM and LSI
Logic. In addition to hardware, we design software to provide functionality to
our hardware products. In the past, we have also licensed software from third
party providers for use with our traditional networking products, and most of
these providers are the sole source for the software. However, both our
software and the third party software provided as embedded programs within the
hardware products. Additionally, revenue related to our traditional networking
products has decreased over the last several years due to the ongoing
maturation of these products and a decrease in our focus on these products. We
issued last time buy notifications to customers for our traditional networking
products during the last quarter of 2000 and expect negligible, if any,
revenues in succeeding quarters related to these products.

In 1998, we began outsourcing the manufacturing of our product lines to an
electronics manufacturing service, or EMS, provider. This decision resulted
in, among other things, the closing of our Puerto Rico manufacturing facility,
streamlining the product offerings of some of our more mature, lower volume
products (primarily for our traditional networking products) and closing
selected sales offices. Suntron Corporation (formerly known as K*Tec
Electronics) manufactures for us within the United States and Manufacturers
Services, Ltd., or MSL, manufacturers for us in both the United States and in
Europe at their Global Manufacturing Services production facility in Valencia,
Spain.

In July 2002, MSL notified us that they would be closing their facility within
the United States that manufactured our products. As a result, the facility
has been closed and we have transitioned a portion of the manufacturing of our
products to an alternative MSL facility within the United States. The
transition was completed during fiscal 2003. In June 2003, we notified Suntron
that we intend to discontinue using their services. We expect that we will no
longer use Suntron as an EMS provider by the end of the second quarter of
fiscal 2004. In June 2003, we selected Benchmark Electronics, Inc., or
Benchmark, as an additional EMS provider and expect to begin shipping product
to customers from Benchmarks facility in Guadalajara, Mexico by the end of the
second quarter of fiscal 2004. At this time, our customers have yet to qualify
the Benchmark facility in Mexico. Although we do not expect these changes to
our electronics manufacturing service providers to have a significant impact on
us, if we were to experience significant delays in product qualifications,
completing production runs or shipping product as a result of these changes,
and we were unable to compensate for this disruption elsewhere, it could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.

An inability or an unwillingness on the part of any of our suppliers to provide
us, or our EMS providers, with the quality and quantity of products, parts or
software that we need in a timely fashion could have a material impact on our
ability to supply products in accordance with customer requirements.

The assembly operations required by our products are typical of the electronics
industry, and no unusual methods, procedures or equipment are required. The
sophisticated nature of the products, in most cases, requires extensive testing
by specialized test devices operated by skilled personnel. Our EMS providers
provide this testing. However, we also maintain an internal test-engineering
group for continuing support of test operations. At June 29, 2003, we had a
total of 36 regular full-time manufacturing support employees located at our
facilities in Costa Mesa, California and in Bolton, Massachusetts.

Employees

At June 29, 2003, we employed 395 employees as follows: 243 in engineering and
development, 55 in selling and marketing, 61 in general and administrative and
36 in manufacturing support operations. None of our employees is represented
by a labor union, and we believe our employee relations are good.

Risk Factors

A prolonged downturn in information technology spending in general or spending
on high-performance computer and storage systems in particular could adversely
affect our revenues and results of operations.

The demand for our Fibre Channel products, which represented 99 percent of our
net revenues for fiscal 2003, has been supported by the demand for
high-performance networking and data storage solutions that support enterprise
computing requirements, including on-line transaction processing, data mining,
data warehousing, multimedia and Internet applications. In early calendar
2001, the global economy experienced a significant slowdown that was
exacerbated by the terrorist attacks on the United States and the resulting
economic and political uncertainty throughout the world. Such downturn has
resulted in substantial reductions in demand for networking, data storage and
other information technology solutions and products. We are unable to predict
the duration or depth of such downturn in technology spending. In the event
that such downturn grows more severe or continues for an extended period of
time, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be
adversely affected. The adverse effects of any sustained downturn in
information technology spending on our operating results may be exacerbated by
our research and development investments, strategic investments and merger and
acquisition activity, as well as customer service and support, which are
expected to continue despite any such downturn.

Our business depends upon the continued growth of the storage networking
market, and our business will be adversely affected if such growth does not
occur or occurs more slowly than we anticipate.

The size of our potential market is dependent upon the broadening acceptance of
our storage networking technologies as alternatives to other technologies
traditionally utilized for network and storage communications, as well as the
overall demand for storage. We believe that our investment in the storage
networking market represents our greatest opportunity for revenue growth and
profitability for the foreseeable future. However, we cannot be certain that
the market for storage networking products will gain broader acceptance or that
customers will continue to choose our technology and products. Additionally,
since our products are sold as parts of integrated systems, our products
demand is driven by the demand for these integrated systems, including other
companies complementary products. A lack of demand for the integrated systems
or a lack of complementary products required for these integrated systems could
have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition. If the storage networking market does not grow, attracts
more competitors than we expect, as discussed below, or if our products do not
achieve market acceptance, our business, results of operations and financial
condition could be materially adversely affected.

We have secured numerous design wins for our storage networking products from
OEM customers. If our customers are unable to or otherwise do not ship systems
that incorporate our products, or if their shipped systems were not
commercially successful, our business, results of operations and financial
condition would be materially adversely affected.

We experienced a downturn in Fibre Channel host bus adapter demand first
evidenced by order deferrals experienced and disclosed by us in early February
of calendar 2001. In the event such deferrals were to occur again, our
business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially
adversely affected.

Because a significant portion of our revenues are generated from sales to a
limited number of customers, none of which are the subject of exclusive or
long-term contracts, the loss of one or more of these customers could adversely
affect our business.

We rely almost exclusively on OEMs and sales through distribution channels for
our revenue. For fiscal 2003, we derived approximately 66 percent of our net
revenues from OEMs and 34 percent from sales through distribution.
Furthermore, because the majority of our sales through distribution channels
consist of OEM-certified products, we believe that OEM

8

##### Table of Contents



customers effectively control more than 85 percent of our revenue. We cannot
be certain that we will retain our current OEM and distributor customers or
that we will be able to recruit additional or replacement customers. As is
common in the technology industry, our agreements with OEMs and distributors
are typically non-exclusive, have no volume commitments, and often may be
terminated by either party without cause. Indeed, it is increasingly
commonplace for our OEM and distributor customers to carry or utilize competing
product lines. If we were to lose business from one or more significant OEM or
distributor customers to a competitor, our business, results of operations and
financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

For fiscal 2003, direct sales to Hewlett-Packard and IBM were each 23 percent
of our total net revenues. Direct sales to our top five customers accounted
for 68 percent of total net revenues for fiscal 2003. Additionally, some of
our larger OEM customers purchased or marketed products indirectly through
distributors, resellers or other third parties. Total net revenues, including
direct sales to our OEM customers and their OEM-specific models purchased or
marketed indirectly through other distribution channels, amounted to 26 percent
of our total net revenues for IBM, 23 percent for Hewlett-Packard and 22
percent for EMC for fiscal 2003.

Compaq and Hewlett-Packard consummated their merger in May 2002. Although we
cannot predict the remaining effects of such merger on our business, to the
extent that such merger results in decreased demand or margins for our
products, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be
materially and adversely affected.

Although we have attempted to expand our base of customers, we believe our
revenues in the future will continue to be similarly derived from a limited
number of customers, especially given the consolidation the industry has
experienced. As a result, to the extent that sales to any of our significant
customers are reduced or impaired, our business, results of operations and
financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Our markets are highly competitive and our business and results of operations
may be adversely affected by entry of new competitors into the markets,
aggressive pricing and the introduction or expansion of competitive products
and technologies.

The markets for our products are highly competitive and are characterized by
rapid technological advances, price erosion, frequent new product introductions
and evolving industry standards. We expect that our market will continue to
attract new competition. Our current and potential competition consists of
major domestic and international companies, some of which have substantially
greater financial, technical, marketing and distribution resources than we
have. Additional companies may enter the markets for our storage networking
products and new or stronger competitors may emerge as a result of
consolidation movements in the marketplace. Furthermore, larger companies in
other related industries may develop or acquire technologies and apply their
significant resources, such as distribution channels and brand recognition, to
acquire market share. Emerging companies attempting to obtain a share of the
existing markets act as potential competition as well. Additionally, our
existing competitors continue to introduce products with improved
price/performance characteristics, and we will have to do the same to remain
competitive. As the market grows and matures, we expect more customers to
qualify multiple sources for OEM or standard products where we have prevailed
previously as a single source, thus introducing competition into our existing
customer accounts. Increased competition could result in significant price
competition, reduced revenues, lower profit margins or loss of market share,
any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.

Alternative legacy technologies such as SCSI compete with our Fibre Channel and
IP storage networking technologies for customers. Our success depends in part
on our own ability and on the ability of our OEM customers to develop storage
networking solutions that are competitive with these alternative legacy
technologies. Some of our competitors already have well-established
relationships with our current and potential customers, have extensive
knowledge of the markets we serve and may have better name recognition and more
extensive development, sales and marketing resources than we have.
Additionally, in the future other technologies that we are not currently
developing may evolve to address the storage networking applications currently
served by our Fibre Channel product line today.

Some of our suppliers, our strategic partners or our OEM customers could become
competitors.

Some of our suppliers, our strategic partners and our OEM customers currently
have or could develop products internally or could purchase another company
with products or technology that would replace or compete with our products and
technology. To the extent that our customers or suppliers are successful in
developing and marketing competitive solutions, the resulting reductions in
sales of our products could have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition.

Our operating results are difficult to forecast and could be adversely affected
by many factors, and our stock price may decline if our results fail to meet
expectations.

Our revenues and results of operations have varied on a quarterly basis in the
past and may vary significantly in the future. Accordingly, we believe that
period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily
meaningful, and you should not rely on such comparisons as indications of our
future performance. There can be no assurance that we will maintain our
current levels of growth or profitability in the future. Our revenues and
results of operations are difficult to forecast and could be adversely affected
by many factors, including, among others:

As a result of these and other unexpected factors or developments, it is
possible that our future operating results will be below the expectations of
investors or market analysts, which could have a material adverse effect on our
stock price.

Unfilled orders and our tendency to generate a large percentage of our
quarterly sales near the end of the quarter contributes to possible quarterly
fluctuations in our operating results that could have an adverse impact on our
results of operations and stock price.

Historically, we have generally shipped products quickly after we receive
orders, meaning that we do not always have a significant backlog of unfilled
orders. As a result, our revenues in a given quarter may depend substantially
on orders booked in that quarter. Alternatively, orders already in backlog may
be deferred or cancelled. Also, we have typically generated a large percentage
of our quarterly revenues in the last month of the quarter. Our customers may
change their accounting practices and purchasing patterns, thus reducing our
ability to predict our quarterly sales. Additionally, we use blanket purchase
orders with some customers, with customer-provided forecasts and customer
controlled just-in-time pulls of products from hub warehouses, thus reducing
our ability to predict our quarterly sales. As a result of these and other
factors, we may not be able to accurately predict our quarterly sales. Because
our expense levels are partially based on our expectations of future sales, in
the event we experience unexpected decreases in quarterly sales, our expenses
may be disproportionately large relative to our revenues and we may be unable
to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue
shortfall. A material shortfall in sales in relation to our quarterly
expectations or any delay of customer orders would likely have an immediate and
adverse impact on our results of operations and may adversely affect our stock
price.

The failure of one or more of our significant customers to make payments could
adversely affect our business.

We are subject to credit risk associated with the concentration of our accounts
receivable from our customers. Our days sales outstanding, or DSOs, were 37
days at both June 29, 2003, and June 30, 2002. There can be no assurance they
will remain at this level or improve. If one of our current significant
customers were to declare bankruptcy, if we were to lose one of our current
significant customers and did not receive their payments due to us, or if one
of our current significant customers were to dispute a significant amount owed
to us, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, results
of operations and financial condition.

Our industry is subject to rapid technological change, and we must keep pace
with the changes to successfully compete.

The markets for our products are characterized by rapidly changing technology,
evolving industry standards and the frequent introduction of new products and
enhancements. Our future success depends in a large part on our ability to
enhance our existing products and to introduce new products on a timely basis
to meet changes in customer preferences and evolving industry standards.
Currently, new and proposed technologies such as 4 gigabit per second, or Gbps,
Fibre Channel solutions; 10 Gbps Fibre Channel solutions; Infiniband; PCI-X
2.0; PCI Express; iSCSI; SATA; SAS; VI; and Remote Direct Memory Access, or
RDMA; are in development by many companies and their ultimate acceptance and
deployment in the market is uncertain. Emulex is developing some, but not all
of these technologies, and we cannot be sure that the technologies we chose to
develop will achieve market acceptance, or that technologies that we chose not
to develop will be available to purchase or license from third parties or will
be immaterial to our business. We cannot be certain that we will be successful
in developing, manufacturing and marketing new products or product enhancements
that respond to technological changes in a timely manner and achieve market
acceptance. We also cannot be certain that we will be able to develop the
underlying core technologies necessary to create new products and enhancements,
or that we will be able to license the required core technologies with
commercially reasonable terms from third parties. In addition, a key element
of our current business strategy is to develop ASICs in order to increase
system performance, enhance integration and reduce manufacturing costs, thereby
enhancing the price/performance of our storage networking products. We cannot
be certain that we will be successful at developing and incorporating ASICs
effectively and in a timely manner. Additionally, the cost and time required
for developing ASICs has been increasing and we cannot be certain of the impact
on our business of such increases. If we are unable, for technological or
other reasons, to develop new products, enhance or sell existing products, or
consume existing products in a timely and cost-effective manner in response to
technological and market changes, our business, results of operations and
financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

We have experienced losses in our history that may adversely affect our stock
price and financial condition.

We have experienced losses in our history, most recently a net loss of $96.2
million in fiscal 2002, and $23.6 million in fiscal 2001. The net loss in
fiscal 2002 included $156.2 million of amortization of goodwill and other
intangibles related to the acquisition of Giganet, Inc. and a net excess and
obsolete inventory charge of $10.1 million. The net loss in fiscal 2001
included $22.3 million of in-process research and development expenses and
$52.1 million of amortization of goodwill and other intangibles related to the
acquisition of Giganet, Inc. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2003,
when we adopted Statement 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, we no
longer amortize goodwill and other intangibles that have indeterminate useful
lives. We currently have net goodwill related to the Giganet acquisition in
the amount of $397.3

million that will be reviewed at least annually for impairment. Any losses,
including losses caused by impairment of goodwill, may adversely affect the
perception of our business by analysts and investors, which could adversely
affect our stock price. While our recent losses have not been accompanied by
negative cash flow from operations, to the extent that we are unable to
generate positive operating profits and positive cash flow from operations, our
financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

The migration of our customers toward newer product platforms may have a
significant adverse effect on our results of operations, including charges for
obsolete inventory.

As our customers migrate from one platform to the enhanced price/performance of
the next platform, we may experience reduced revenue, gross profit and gross
margin levels associated with lower average selling prices and higher relative
product costs associated with improved performance. Also, economic conditions
during platform migration periods can have a significant impact on results.
This was evidenced in late September 2001, as some of our major customers made
announcements that general economic conditions, exacerbated by the increase in
economic uncertainty in the aftermath of the terrorist events of September 11,
2001, were having a negative impact on their financial results. The
announcements made, and forecasts received, indicated deteriorating demand for
our one Gbps products as these customers were expected to migrate to two Gbps
products for future purchases. As a result, we initially recorded an inventory
charge of $13.6 million in 2002 and then reduced this reserve by $3.5 million
in 2002 as previously reserved inventory was sold. After initially recording
our one Gbps reserve of $13.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2002,
we subsequently reduced this reserve by a total of $6.9 million through June
29, 2003, as this previously reserved inventory has been sold. Overall, we
have been able to recover a significant portion of this reserved inventory that
was not expected based on our forecasts and the forecasts received from our
customers when this excess and obsolete inventory charge was recorded. In
addition to the sale of some of this previously reserved product, we have also
scrapped $3.3 million of this reserved inventory and negotiated and paid
cancellation charges of $0.2 million through June 29, 2003, related to this
excess and obsolete inventory charge since it was initially recorded. As with
all inventory, we regularly compare forecasted demand for our one Gbps products
against inventory on hand and open purchase commitments and accordingly, we may
have to record reductions to the carrying value of excess and obsolete
inventory if forecasted demand decreases.

Any failure of our OEM customers to keep up with rapid technological change
could adversely affect our business.

Our revenues depend significantly upon the ability and willingness of our OEM
customers to develop, promote and deliver, on a timely basis, products that
incorporate our technology. OEMs must commit significant resources to develop
a product that incorporates our technology or solutions. The ability and
willingness of OEM customers to develop, promote and deliver such products are
significantly influenced by a variety of factors, many of which are outside of
our control. We cannot be certain of the ability or willingness of our OEM
customers to continue developing, marketing and selling products that
incorporate our technology or solutions. Our business is dependent on our
relationships with our OEM and distributor customers, so the inability or
unwillingness of any of our significant customers to develop or promote
products that use our technology or solutions would have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Rapid changes in the evolution of technology, including the unexpected extent
or timing of the transition from HBA solutions to lower-priced ASIC solutions,
could adversely affect our business.

Historically, the electronics industry has developed higher performance ASICs
that create chip level solutions that replace selected board level solutions at
a significantly lower average selling price. We have previously offered ASICs
to certain customers for certain applications that has effectively resulted in
a lower-priced solution when compared to an HBA solution. This transition may
occur for our products in other applications as well. The result of this
transition may be an adverse effect on our revenues and profit margin. If this
transition is more abrupt or is more widespread than anticipated, there can be
no assurance that we will be able to modify our business model in a timely
manner, if at all, in order to mitigate the effects of this transition on our
business, results of operations and financial position.

Rapid shifts in customer purchases from our high-end server and storage
solutions to midrange server and storage solutions could adversely affect our
business.

Historically, the majority of our Fibre Channel revenues has come from our
high-end server and storage solutions. In recent quarters, an increasing
percentage of revenues has come from midrange server and storage solutions,
which typically have lower average selling prices than our high-end server and
storage solutions. If this trend were to be more abrupt or more widespread
than anticipated, there can be no assurance that we would be able to modify our
business model in a timely manner, if at all, in order to mitigate the effect
of this trend on our business, results of operations and financial position.

A decrease in the average unit selling prices and/ or an increase in the
manufactured cost of our Fibre Channel products could adversely affect our
revenue, gross margins and financial performance.

Since we introduced our first Fibre Channel products, we have experienced
downward pressure on their average unit selling prices. We may provide pricing
discounts to customers based upon volume purchase criteria, and achievement of
such discounts may reduce our average unit selling prices. To the extent that
growth in unit demand fails to offset decreases in average unit selling prices,
our revenues and financial performance could be materially adversely affected.
Although historically we have achieved offsetting cost reductions, to the
extent that average unit selling prices of our Fibre Channel products decrease
without a corresponding decrease in the costs of such products, our gross
margins and financial performance could be materially adversely affected.
Furthermore, if the manufactured cost of our products were to increase due to
inflation or other factors, our gross margins and financial performance could
be materially adversely affected.

Delays in product development could adversely affect our business.

We have experienced delays in product development in the past and may
experience similar delays in the future. Given the short product life cycles
in the markets for our products and the relatively long product development
cycles, any delay or unanticipated difficulty associated with new product
introductions or product enhancements could have a material adverse effect on
our business, results of operations and financial condition. Prior delays have
resulted from numerous factors, such as:



| |  |  | Difficulties in hiring and retaining necessary personnel;                         
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| |  |  | Difficulties in reallocating engineering resources and other resource
limitations;
|
| |  |  | Difficulties with independent contractors;                                        
|
| |  |  | Unanticipated engineering or manufacturing complexity;                            
|
| |  |  | Undetected errors or failures in software and hardware;                           
|
| |  |  | Changing OEM product specifications;                                              
|
| |  |  | Delays in the acceptance or shipment of products by OEM customers; and/or         
|
| |  |  | Changing market or competitive product requirements.                              

Our products are complex and may contain undetected software or hardware errors
that could lead to an increase in our costs, reduce our net revenues or damage
our reputation.

Our products are complex and may contain undetected errors, especially when
first introduced or as new versions are released. The occurrence of hardware
or software errors could adversely affect sales of our products, cause us to
incur significant repair costs, divert the attention of our engineering
personnel from product development efforts and cause us to lose credibility
with current or prospective customers.

Our joint development activities may result in products that are not
commercially successful or that are not available in a timely fashion.

We have engaged in joint development projects with third parties in the past
and we expect to continue doing so in the future. Joint development can
magnify several risks for us, including the loss of control over development of
aspects of the jointly-developed products and over the timing of product
availability. Accordingly, we face increased risk that joint development
activities will result in products that are not commercially successful or that
are not available in a timely fashion.

During April 2003 we announced a joint development activity with Intel
Corporation relating to storage processors that integrate SATA, SAS and Fibre
Channel interfaces within a single architecture. Under the agreement, Emulex
will develop the protocol controller hardware, firmware and drivers. Intel
will integrate its Intel® Xscale microarchitecture as the core
technology for the new processors and will manufacture the processors on its
90-nanometer process technology. Emulex will market the resulting Fibre
Channel products and Intel will market the SATA and SAS product. This activity
has risks resulting from unproven new-generation manufacturing technology, from
the licensing of SATA and SAS

technology to Intel, from increased development costs, from reduced flexibility
in making design changes in response to market changes and in reduced control
over product completion schedules.

A change in our business relationships with our third-party suppliers or our
electronics manufacturing service providers could adversely affect our
business.

We rely on third-party suppliers for components and the manufacture of our
products, and we have experienced delays or difficulty in securing components
and finished goods in the past. Delays or difficulty in securing components or
finished goods may be caused by numerous factors including, but not limited to:



| |  |  | Discontinued production by a supplier;                                                             
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| |  |  | Undetected errors, failures or production quality issues;                                          
|
| |  |  | Timeliness of product delivery;                                                                    
|
| |  |  | Financial stability and viability of our suppliers and electronics manufacturing service providers;
|
| |  |  | Changes in business strategies of our suppliers and electronics manufacturing service providers;   
|
| |  |  | Disruption in shipping channels;                                                                   
|
| |  |  | Natural disasters;                                                                                 
|
| |  |  | Environmental, tax or legislative changes in the location where our products are produced;         
|
| |  |  | Difficulties associated with foreign operations; and/or                                            
|
| |  |  | Market shortages.                                                                                  

There is a risk that we will not be able to retain our current suppliers or
change to alternative suppliers. An interruption in supply or the cost of
shifting to a new supplier or electronics manufacturing service providers could
have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.

Additionally, key components that we use in our products may only be available
from single sources with which we do not have contracts. We may obtain sole
source components manufactured by companies such as Cypress, E20, Finisar, ICS,
Intel, IBM, Lattice, Micrel, Micron, Motorola, NEC, Quicklogic, Samsung, Seiko
Epson, Siliconix, Tundra Semiconductor and Vitesse. In addition, we design our
own ASICs that are embedded in our products. These ASICs are also sole sourced
and manufactured by third-party semiconductor foundries including IBM and LSI
Logic. In addition to hardware, we design software to provide functionality to
our hardware products. In the past, we have also licensed software from third
party providers for use with our traditional networking products, and most of
these providers are the sole source for the software. However, both our
software and the third party software are provided as embedded programs within
the hardware products. The loss of one or more of our sole suppliers or third
party foundries could have a material adverse effect on our business, results
of operations and financial condition. In addition, an announcement made by
one of our sole suppliers or third party foundries that they intend to stop
producing a component in the future could cause us, based on forecasted demand
that may or may not materialize, to enter into a long-term purchase commitment
or make a last-time purchase that could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition.

Because we outsource the production of our products to electronics
manufacturing service providers, or EMS providers, we only manage the supply of
a small number of our product components. Currently, we rely upon our EMS
providers to complete numerous component purchases for our products.
Consequently, we cannot be certain that the necessary components will be
available to meet our future requirements at favorable prices, if at all.

In July 2002, MSL, one of our EMS providers, notified us that they would be
closing their facility within the United States that manufactured our products.
As a result, the facility has been closed and we have transitioned a portion
of the manufacturing of our products to an alternative MSL facility within the
United States. The transition was completed during fiscal 2003. In June 2003,
we notified Suntron that we intend to discontinue using their services. We
expect that we will no longer use Suntron as an EMS provider by the end of the
second quarter of fiscal 2004. In June 2003, we selected

Benchmark Electronics, Inc., or Benchmark, as an additional EMS provider and
expect to begin shipping product to customers from Benchmarks facility in
Guadalajara, Mexico by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2004. At this
time, our customers have yet to qualify the Benchmark facility in Mexico.
Although we do not expect these changes to our electronics manufacturing
service providers to have a significant impact on us, if we were to experience
significant delays in product qualifications, completing production runs or
shipping product as a result of these changes, and we were unable to compensate
for this disruption elsewhere, it could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, because we
rely upon our EMS providers to manufacture, store and ship our products, the
manufacturing and sale of our products would be temporarily suspended if MSL,
Suntron and/or Benchmark are unable or unwilling to complete production runs
for us in the future, or experience any significant delays in completing
production runs or shipping product. An interruption in supply of our products
and the cost of qualifying and shifting production to an alternative
manufacturing and distribution facility could have a material adverse effect on
our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, we
rely upon the financial stability of our EMS providers and their ability and
willingness to continue as our EMS providers.

If our intellectual property protections are inadequate, it could adversely
affect our business.

We believe that our continued success depends primarily on continuing
innovation, marketing and technical expertise, as well as the quality of
product support and customer relations. At the same time, our success is
partially dependent on the proprietary technology contained in our products.
We currently rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade
secret laws and contractual provisions to establish and protect our
intellectual property rights in our products. For a more complete description
of our intellectual property, you should read Business  Intellectual
Property.

We cannot be certain that the steps we take to protect our intellectual
property will adequately protect our proprietary rights, that others will not
independently develop or otherwise acquire equivalent or superior technology,
or that we can maintain such technology as trade secrets. In addition, the
laws of some of the countries in which our products are or may be developed,
manufactured or sold may not protect our products and intellectual property
rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States or at all.
Furthermore, we enter into various development projects and arrangements with
other companies. In some cases, these arrangements allow for the sharing or
use of our intellectual property. Our failure to protect our intellectual
property rights could have a material adverse effect on our business, results
of operations and financial condition.

Third-party claims of intellectual property infringement could adversely affect
our business.

We believe that our products and technology do not infringe on the intellectual
property rights of others or upon intellectual property rights that may be
granted in the future pursuant to pending applications. We occasionally
receive communications from third parties alleging patent infringement, and
there is always the chance that third parties may assert infringement claims
against us. Any such claims, with or without merit, could result in costly
litigation, cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty
or licensing agreements, which may or may not be available. However, we have
in the past obtained, and may be required in the future to obtain, licenses of
technology owned by other parties. We cannot be certain that the necessary
licenses will be available or that they can be obtained on commercially
reasonable terms. If we were to fail to obtain such royalty or licensing
agreements in a timely manner and on reasonable terms, our business, results of
operations and financial condition would be materially adversely affected.

The inability to attract or the loss of key managerial and technical personnel
could adversely affect our business.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the performance and continued
service of key managers as well as engineers involved in the development of our
storage networking technologies and technical support of our storage networking
products and customers. Our future success depends upon our ability to
attract, train and retain such personnel. We may need to increase the number
of key managers as well as technical staff members with experience in
high-speed networking applications as we further develop our storage networking
product lines. Competition for such highly skilled employees in our local
community as well as our industry is intense, and we cannot be certain that we
will be successful in recruiting and retaining such personnel. In addition,
employees may leave our company and subsequently compete against us. Also,
many of these key managerial and technical personnel receive stock options.
New regulations, volatility in the stock market and other factors could
diminish the value of our stock options, putting us at a competitive
disadvantage and forcing us to use more cash compensation. If we are unable to
attract new managerial and technical employees, or are unable to retain our
current key managerial and technical employees, our business, results of
operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Our international business activities subject us to risks that could adversely
affect our business.

For fiscal 2003, sales in the United States accounted for 60 percent of our
total net revenues, sales in Europe accounted for 33 percent of our total net
revenues, and sales in the Pacific Rim countries accounted for seven percent of
our total net revenues. We expect that sales in the United States and Europe
will continue to account for the substantial majority of our net revenues for
the foreseeable future. All of our sales are currently denominated in U.S.
dollars. As a result, if the value of the U.S. dollar increases relative to
foreign currencies, our products could become less competitive in international
markets. Additionally, a significant portion of our products is produced at a
manufacturing subcontractors production facility in Valencia, Spain and in the
future products will be produced in Guadalajara, Mexico. As a result, we are
subject to the risks inherent in international operations. Our international
business activities could be affected, limited or disrupted by a variety of
factors, including:



| |  |  | The imposition of governmental controls and regulatory requirements;         
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| |  |  | The costs and risks of localizing products for foreign countries;            
|
| |  |  | Longer accounts receivable payment cycles;                                   
|
| |  |  | Changes in the value of local currencies relative to our functional
currency;
|
| |  |  | Trade restrictions;                                                          
|
| |  |  | Changes in tariffs;                                                          
|
| |  |  | Loss of tax benefits due to international production;                        
|
| |  |  | General economic and social conditions within foreign countries; and/or      
|
| |  |  | Political instability, war or terrorism.                                     

In addition, the revenues we earn in various countries in which we do business
may be subject to taxation by more than one jurisdiction, thereby adversely
affecting our earnings. All of these factors could harm future sales of our
products to international customers or future overseas production of our
products, and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.

Export restrictions may adversely affect our business.

Our products are subject to U.S. Department of Commerce export control
restrictions. Neither our customers nor we may export such products without
obtaining an export license, where applicable. These U.S. export laws also
prohibit the export of our products to a number of countries deemed by the
United States to be hostile. These restrictions may make foreign competitors
facing less stringent controls on their products more competitive in the global
market than our customers or we are. The U.S. government may not approve any
pending or future export license requests. In addition, the list of products
and countries for which export approval is required, and the regulatory
policies with respect thereto, could be revised. The sale of our products
could be harmed by our inability or the inability of our customers to obtain
the required licenses or by the costs of compliance.

Potential acquisitions or strategic investments may be more costly or less
profitable than anticipated and may adversely affect the price of our company
stock.

We may pursue acquisitions or strategic investments that could provide new
technologies, products or service offerings. Future acquisitions or strategic
investments may negatively impact our results of operations as a result of
operating losses incurred by the acquired entity, the use of significant
amounts of cash, potentially dilutive issuances of equity or equity-linked
securities, incurrence of debt or amortization of intangible assets with
determinable lives. Furthermore, we may incur significant expenses pursuing
acquisitions or strategic investments that ultimately may not be completed.
Moreover, to the extent that any proposed acquisition or strategic investment
is not favorably received by stockholders, analysts and others in the
investment community, the price of our common stock could be adversely
affected. In addition, acquisitions or strategic investments involve numerous
risks, including:

In the event that an acquisition or strategic investment does occur and we are
unable to obtain anticipated profits or successfully integrate operations,
technologies, products or personnel that we acquire, our business, results of
operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Our stock price is volatile, which has and may result in lawsuits against us
and our officers and directors.

The stock market in general and the stock prices in technology-based companies
in particular have experienced extreme volatility that often has been unrelated
to the operating performance of any specific public company. The market price
of our common stock has fluctuated in the past and is likely to fluctuate in
the future as well. Factors that could have a significant impact on the market
price of our common stock include, but are not limited to, the following:



| |  |  | Quarterly variations in operating results;

In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of
their stock have been the object of securities class action litigation. In
this regard, we and certain of our officers and directors were named as
defendants in a number of securities class action lawsuits filed in the United
States District Court, Central District of California. The plaintiffs in the
actions represent purchasers of our common stock during various periods ranging
from January 18, 2001, through February 9, 2001. The complaints allege that we
and certain of our officers and directors made misrepresentations and omissions
in violation of sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. The complaints generally seek compensatory damages, costs and
attorneys fees in an unspecified amount. In addition, we have received
inquiries about events giving rise to the lawsuits from the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the Nasdaq Stock Market. On April 22, 2003, we entered
into two Memoranda of Understanding agreeing to terms of settlement for both
the class action and derivative litigation. If we were to be the subject of a
securities class action lawsuit in the future it could have a material adverse
effect on or results of operations and financial condition. See Part
I  Item
3  Legal Proceedings of this Form 10-K for a more complete discussion of
such litigation and Memoranda of Understanding.

The final amount collected for our receivable from our insurance carriers
related to the tentative settlements of securities class action and derivative
lawsuits may be materially different from the receivable amount.

For the three months ended March 30, 2003, we recorded a $13.5 million
receivable from our insurance carriers related to the tentative settlements of
securities class action and derivative lawsuits. We had directors and officers
insurance with a primary limit of $10.0 million and a possible $10.0 million
reinstatement for the period of February 2000 through February 2002; and excess
insurance of $10.0 million for the period February 2000 through February 2001;
and excess insurance of $20.0 million for the period February 2001 to February
2002. Our insurance carriers have asserted various defenses including coverage
exclusions and late notice. Our actual insurance recovery may be materially
different from the recorded amount for various reasons, including the strength
of the defenses asserted by our insurance carriers. If one or all of our
insurance carriers were unable or refused to make some or all payments due to
us, or if an arbitrator or court determines that the recovery should be an
amount other than the recorded amount, or if ultimately the amount received by
us is more or less than the recorded amount, we would be required to record a
corresponding gain or loss.

Terrorist activities and resulting military and other actions could adversely
affect our business.

The terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C. in September 2001
disrupted commerce throughout the United States and Europe. The continued
threat of terrorism within the United States and Europe and the military action
and heightened security measures in response to such threat may cause
significant disruption to commerce throughout the world. To the extent that
such disruptions result in delays or cancellations of customer orders, delays
in collecting cash, a general decrease in corporate spending on information
technology or our inability to effectively market, manufacture or ship our
products, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be
materially and adversely affected. We are unable to predict whether the threat
of terrorism or the responses thereto will result in any long-term commercial
disruptions or if such activities or responses will have any long-term material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our corporate offices and principal product development facilities are located
in a region that is subject to earthquakes and other natural disasters.

Our California facilities, including our corporate offices and principal
product development facilities, are located near major earthquake faults. Any
disruption in our business activities, personal injury or damage to the
facilities in excess of our currently insured amounts as a result of
earthquakes or other such natural disasters, could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our shareholder rights plan, certificate of incorporation and Delaware law
could adversely affect the performance of our stock.

Our shareholder rights plan and provisions of our certificate of incorporation
and of the Delaware General Corporation Law could make it more difficult for a
third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our
stockholders. The shareholder rights plan and these provisions of our
certificate of incorporation and Delaware law are intended to encourage
potential acquirers to negotiate with us and allow our board of directors the
opportunity to consider alternative proposals in the interest of maximizing
stockholder value. However, such provisions may also discourage acquisition
proposals or delay or prevent a change in control, which could harm our stock
price. You should read note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
contained elsewhere herein, our certificate of incorporation and Delaware law
for more information on the anti-takeover effects of provisions of our
shareholder rights plan.

Changes in laws, regulations and financial accounting standards may affect our
reported results of operations.

The recently enacted Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related regulations may
result in changes in accounting standards or accepted practices within our
industry. New pronouncements and varying interpretations of pronouncements
have occurred in the past and are likely to occur in the future as a result of
recent Congressional and regulatory actions. New laws, regulations and
accounting standards, as well as changes to currently accepted accounting
practices in the technology industry might adversely affect our reported
financial results, which could have an adverse effect on our stock price.
Proposals have been made concerning the expensing of stock options that could
result in rules or laws that may adversely affect our reported financial
results, which could have an adverse effect on our stock price.

The final determination of our income tax liability may be materially different
from our income tax provisions and accruals.

We are subject to income taxes in both the United States and international
jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide
provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of our business, there are
many transactions where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain.
Additionally, our calculations of income taxes are based on our interpretations
of applicable tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we file. Although we
believe our tax estimates are reasonable, there is no assurance that the final
determination of our income tax liability will not be materially different than
what is reflected in our income tax provisions and accruals. Should additional
taxes be assessed as a result of new legislation, an audit or litigation, if
our effective tax rate should change as a result of changes in federal,
international or state and local tax laws, or if we were to change the
locations where we operate, there could be a material effect on our income tax
provision and net income in the period or periods in which that determination
is made.

We may need additional capital in the future and such additional financing may
not be available on favorable terms.

While we believe we have adequate working capital to meet our expected cash
requirements for the immediate future, we may need to raise additional funds
through public or private debt or equity financings in order to:



| |  |  | Take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, including more rapid
international expansion or acquisitions of complementary businesses or
technologies;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| |  |  | Develop new products or services;                                                                                                                       
|
| |  |  | Repay outstanding indebtedness; and/or                                                                                                                  
|
| |  |  | Respond to unanticipated competitive pressures.                                                                                                         

We cannot assure you that any additional financing we may need will be
available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not
available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take
advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop new products or services or
otherwise respond to unanticipated competitive pressures. In any such case,
our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially
adversely affected.




Item 2. Properties.

Our corporate offices and principal product development facilities are
currently located in approximately 114 thousand square feet of leased buildings
in Costa Mesa, California. The lease expires in September 2003. We will then
begin a month-to-month lease for our current corporate offices and principal
product development facilities until occupying our new corporate headquarters,
which is under construction and described in more detail below.

We lease facilities in Colorado and Massachusetts primarily for engineering and
development and approximately 11 other remote offices, primarily for sales,
throughout the world.

In 2002, we entered into an agreement to relocate our headquarters locally in
Costa Mesa, California. We will finance the build to suit construction phase
of the approximately 180 thousand square feet facility with our own capital,
before beginning a 10-year lease term with an option to buy the land and
buildings during the first six months of the lease term. If we do not exercise
our option to purchase the facility, the landlord will obtain permanent
financing and reimburse us for the construction costs. Construction on our new
corporate headquarters is progressing. If purchased, we believe the total
cost, including the land, building and other related capital expenditures,
would be approximately $47 million. Our total gross undiscounted financial
commitment for the 10-year lease term would be approximately $45.9 million. At
June 29, 2003, the Company had restricted cash of $9.3 million held in escrow
and associated with the construction of the headquarters.

Our future facilities requirements will depend upon our business, but we
believe additional space, if required, may be obtained on reasonable terms.




Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

Beginning on or about February 20, 2001, we and certain of our officers and
directors were named as defendants in a number of securities class action
lawsuits filed in the United States District Court, Central District of
California. The plaintiffs in the actions represent purchasers of our common
stock during various periods ranging from January 18, 2001,

through February 9, 2001. The complaints allege that we and certain of our
officers and directors made misrepresentations and omissions in violation of
sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The complaints generally seek compensatory damages, costs and attorneys fees
in an unspecified amount. Pursuant to a Stipulation and Court Order, the
actions were consolidated. On August 24, 2001, an Amended and Consolidated
Complaint was filed. Defendants motion to dismiss was denied by way of an
order dated March 7, 2002. Defendants motion for reconsideration of that
order was denied by an order dated May 3, 2002. Plaintiffs commenced
discovery. The court certified the class action by an order dated September
30, 2002. Following these class action lawsuits, a number of derivative cases
were filed in state courts in California and Delaware, and in federal court in
California, alleging that certain officers and directors breached their
fiduciary duties to us in connection with the events alleged in the class
action lawsuits. The derivative cases filed in California state courts were
consolidated in Orange County Superior Court and plaintiffs filed a
consolidated and amended complaint on January 31, 2002. On May 10, 2002, the
Orange County Superior Court ordered that the consolidated actions be stayed
pending resolution of the federal class action described above. The derivative
suit in Delaware was dismissed on August 28, 2001. On March 15, 2002, the
United States District Court for the Central District of California ordered
that the federal derivative action be stayed pending resolution of the class
action lawsuit described above. We received inquiries about events giving rise
to the lawsuits from the Securities and Exchange Commission and Nasdaq Stock
Market. On April 22, 2003, we entered into two Memoranda of Understanding, or
MOUs, agreeing to terms of settlement for both the class action and derivative
litigation. The MOUs call for settlement payments totaling $39.0 million,
plus up to $0.5 million of the cost of providing notice to the class members.
A Final Order and Judgment was approved by the court in the derivative cases on
May 30, 2003, based on a Stipulation of Settlement of Derivative Claims dated
as of May 13, 2003. An Order Preliminarily Approving Settlement and Providing
for Notice was approved by the court in the federal class action on July 11,
2003, based on a Stipulation of Settlement dated as of July 3, 2003. A
Settlement Hearing is scheduled for October 15, 2003, in the federal class
action. Insurance proceeds are expected to reimburse us for a portion of
the payments and the probable net after tax effect of the settlements to us,
based on our current minimum estimate of reimbursement from the insurance
carriers, is expected to be approximately $16.7 million. We commenced an
arbitration proceeding against three of our insurance carriers in June 2003
seeking reimbursement of $30.0 million for the defense and settlement costs.

Additionally, we are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in
the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate
disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.




Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

No matters were submitted to a vote of the security holders of the Company
during the fourth quarter of 2003.

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

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this Form 10-K may constitute forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. We may also make forward-looking statements in other reports filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in materials delivered to
stockholders and in press releases. In addition, our representatives may from
time to time make oral forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements
provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and
include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or
current fact. Words such as anticipates, in the opinion, believes,
intends, expects, may, will, should, could, plans, forecasts,
estimates, predicts, projects, potential, continue and similar
expressions may be intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Actual future results could differ materially from those described in the
forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors, including those
discussed in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations set forth below, and, in particular, the subsection
entitled Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-K elsewhere herein.
These factors include the fact that the economy generally, and the technology
and storage segments specifically, have recently been in a state of uncertainty
making it difficult to determine if past experience is a good guide to the
future or if markets will grow or shrink in the short term. Recently, our
results have been significantly impacted by a widespread slowdown in
information technology spending that has also pressured the storage networking
market that is the mainstay of our business. A prolonged downturn in
information technology spending could adversely affect our revenues and results
of operations. As a result of this uncertainty, we are unable to predict with
any accuracy what future results might be. Other factors affecting these
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
slower than expected growth of the storage networking market or the failure of
our Original Equipment Manufacturer, or OEM, customers to successfully
incorporate our products into their systems; our dependence on a limited number
of customers and the effects of the loss of, or decrease or delays in orders
by, any such customers, or the failure of such customers to make payment; the
emergence of new or stronger competitors; the timing and market acceptance of
our or our OEM customers new or enhanced products; the variability in the
level of our backlog and the variable booking patterns of our customers; the
effects of terrorist activities and resulting political or economic
instability; the highly competitive nature of the markets for our products as
well as pricing pressures that may result from such competitive conditions; our
ability and the ability of our OEM customers to keep pace with the rapid
technological changes in our industry and gain market acceptance for new
products and technologies; the effect of rapid migration of customers toward
newer product platforms; possible transitions from board level to application
specific integrated circuit, or ASIC, solutions for selected applications; a
shift in unit product mix from high-end to midrange products; a decrease in the
average unit selling prices or an increase in the manufactured cost of our
products; delays in product development; our reliance on third-party suppliers
and subcontractors for components and assembly; any inadequacy of our
intellectual property protection or the potential for third-party claims of
infringement; our ability to attract and retain key technical personnel; our
dependence on foreign sales; the effect of our stock price on stock
compensation charges; the effect of acquisitions; changes in federal,
international, or state and local income tax laws or rates; or changes in
accounting standards.

Readers should carefully review these cautionary statements as they identify
certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those in the forward-looking statements and from historical trends and are
in addition to other factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-K, in our
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or in materials
incorporated therein by reference. We caution the reader, however, that these
lists of risk factors may not be

exhaustive. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release
publicly any updates or changes to these forward-looking statements that may be
made to reflect any future events or circumstances.

Business Combination

In March 2001, we acquired Giganet, a privately-held developer of storage
networking products based on Ethernet and IP technologies. The acquisition has
been included in the consolidated balance sheets and the operating results of
Giganet have been included in the consolidated statements of operations since
the acquisition date, March 1, 2001. Effective July 2, 2001, Giganet was
merged with and into Emulex Corporation, a California corporation that is our
primary operating subsidiary.

Results of Operations for Emulex Corporation and Subsidiaries

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with

Fiscal 2003 versus Fiscal 2002

Net Revenues.Net revenues for 2003 increased $53.5 million, or 21 percent, to
$308.2 million, compared to 2002.

From a product line perspective, net revenues generated from our Fibre Channel
products for 2003 were $304.6 million, an increase of $56.9 million, or 23
percent, compared to 2002, and represented 99 percent of total net revenues for
2003. We continue to believe that our net revenues from our Fibre Channel
products are being generated primarily as a result of our product
certifications and qualifications with OEM customers, which take product both
directly and through distribution channels.

Our IP Networking products consist of both our iSCSI products, which are
currently in development, and VI products; as well as legacy cLAN products. We
expect that our VI, cLAN and traditional networking products, which have all
entered end-of-life status, will contribute negligible revenues to succeeding
quarters. Although we continue to devote resources to iSCSI product
development, the market remains in an early stage of development and we do not
expect material revenue from these products for the foreseeable future.

In addition to direct sales, some of our larger OEM customers purchased or
marketed products indirectly through distributors, resellers or other third
parties. Customers with direct revenues only or total direct and indirect
revenues, including customer-specific models purchased or marketed indirectly
through distributors, resellers, and other third parties, of more than 10
percent were as follows:

Direct sales to our top five customers accounted for 68 percent of total net
revenues in 2003 compared to 65 percent in 2002 and we expect to be similarly
concentrated in the future. Our net revenues from our customers can be
significantly impacted by changes in the business models of our customers.
Beginning in late 2002, EMC began sourcing more product through distribution
rather than purchasing it directly. Consequently, direct sales to EMC have
been impacted. Additionally, EMC has formed an alliance with Dell and entered
into a worldwide manufacturing agreement with Dell. Consequently, some of our
models previously sold under EMC-specific model numbers are now being sold
under Dell-specific model numbers, and some net revenues for EMC, including
direct sales to EMC and their customer-specific models purchased indirectly
through other distribution channels, have been shifted as a result of this Dell
alliance.

From a distribution channel perspective, net revenues generated from OEM
customers were 66 percent of net revenues and sales through distribution were
34 percent in 2003. Our OEM customers may take products both directly and
through distribution channels.

A major factor in the increased distribution net revenues is that beginning in
2002, one of our larger OEM customers, EMC, began sourcing more product through
distribution rather than purchasing it directly. In 2003 direct sales to EMC
decreased $10.9 million while total direct and indirect sales to EMC increased
by $11.0 million in 2003 compared to 2002.

In 2003 domestic net revenues increased by $32.6 million, or 21 percent, and
international net revenues increased by $20.9 million, or 20 percent, compared
to 2002.

We believe the increases in domestic and international net revenues were
principally a function of the overall size of the market for Fibre Channel
products and increased market acceptance of our Fibre Channel products.
However, because we sell to OEMs and distributors who ultimately resell our
products to their customers, the geographic mix of our net revenues may not be
reflective of the geographic mix of end-user demand or installations.

Gross Profit. Cost of sales included the cost of production of finished
products as well as support costs and other expenses related to inventory
management, manufacturing quality and order fulfillment. In 2003, gross profit
increased $64.3 million, or 49 percent, to $196.2 million, from $131.9 million
in 2002. Gross margin increased to 64 percent in 2003, compared to 52 percent
in 2002. Starting in late September 2001, some of our major customers made
announcements that general economic conditions, exacerbated by the increase in
economic uncertainty in the aftermath of the terrorist events of September 11,
2001, were having a negative impact on their financial results. The
announcements made, and forecasts received, indicated deteriorating demand for
our one Gbps products as these customers were expected to migrate to two Gbps
products for future purchases. As a result, we recorded an estimated excess
and obsolete inventory charge totaling $13.6 million during the first quarter
of fiscal 2002. After initially recording the one Gbps reserve during the
first quarter of fiscal 2002, we have subsequently reduced this reserve by a
total of $6.9 million through June 29, 2003, as previously reserved inventory
has been sold. Overall, we have been able to recover a significant portion of
this reserved inventory that was not expected based on our forecasts and the
forecasts received from our customers when this excess and obsolete charge was
recorded. In addition to the sale of this previously reserved product, we have
also scrapped $3.3 million of this reserved inventory and negotiated and paid
cancellation charges of $0.2 million through June 29, 2003, related to this
excess and obsolete inventory charge since it was initially recorded. In 2003
and 2002, the reduction related to our one Gbps reserve was $3.3 million and
$3.6 million, respectively. Excluding the reduction of the excess and obsolete
inventory reserve of $3.3 million in 2003, and the net excess and obsolete
inventory charge of $10.1 million in 2002, gross profit would have been $192.9
million and $141.9 million, respectively, and gross margin would have been 63
percent and 56 percent, respectively. The increase in gross profit and gross
margin in 2003 compared to 2002 was also due to cost reductions for Fibre
Channel products, higher Fibre Channel net revenues and volumes and changes in
product mix. Also, cost of sales included $0.1 million and $48 thousand of
amortized deferred stock-based compensation expense for 2003 and 2002,
respectively.

Engineering and Development. Engineering and development expenses consisted
primarily of salaries and related expenses for personnel engaged in the design,
development and technical support of our products. These expenses included
third-party fees paid to consultants, prototype development expenses and
computer services costs related to supporting computer tools used in the
engineering and design process. Engineering and development expenses were
$61.3 million and $47.6 million for 2003 and 2002, representing 20 and 19
percent of net revenues, respectively. Engineering and development expenses
increased by $13.7 million, or 29 percent, in 2003 compared to 2002. This
increase was due to our increased investment in Fibre Channel and IP
engineering and development, which represented substantially all of our
engineering and development efforts and expenses. Engineering expenses
included $2.5 million and $2.1 million of amortized deferred stock-based
compensation for 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Selling and Marketing.Selling and marketing expenses consisted primarily of
salaries, commissions and related expenses for personnel engaged in the
marketing and sales of our products, as well as trade shows, product
literature, promotional support costs and other advertising-related costs.
Selling and marketing expenses were $19.0 million and $19.5 million for

2003 and 2002, representing six and eight percent of net revenues,
respectively. Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $0.5 million, or two
percent, in 2003 compared to 2002. This decrease was primarily due to a
reduction in travel-related expenses of $0.3 million. Selling and marketing
expenses included $1.3 million and $1.4 million of amortized deferred
stock-based compensation expenses for 2003 and 2002, respectively. As a
portion of selling and marketing expenses is fixed, the expenses have not
expanded at the same rate as our net revenues.

General and Administrative.Ongoing general and administrative expenses
consisted primarily of salaries and related expenses for executives, financial
accounting support, human resources, administrative services, professional fees
and other associated corporate expenses. General and administrative expenses
were $40.3 million and $13.0 million for 2003 and 2002 representing 13 and five
percent of net revenues, respectively. General and administrative expenses
increased by $27.3 million, or 210 percent, in 2003 compared to 2002. This
increase was primarily due to a net charge of $27.0 million associated with the
tentative settlements of securities class action and derivative lawsuits.
Excluding the net charge of $27.0 million, general and administrative expenses
were relatively flat as a portion of general and administrative expenses is
fixed and the expenses have not expanded at the same rate as our net revenues.
General and administrative expenses included $0.3 million and $0.2 million of
amortized deferred stock-based compensation expenses for 2003 and 2002,
respectively.

Amortization of Goodwill and Other Intangibles.Amortization of goodwill and
other intangibles included the amortization of intangible assets with estimable
lives in 2003 and 2002. Prior to the adoption of Financial Accounting
Standards Board, or FASB, Statement 142, or Statement 142, amortization of
goodwill and other intangible assets included the amortization of goodwill.
The amortization of intangibles was $5.8 million in 2003 and amortization of
goodwill and other intangibles was $156.2 million in 2002, representing two and
61 percent of net revenues, respectively. In 2003, the amortization consisted
of amortization for core technology and patents of $5.8 million and $7 thousand
for completed technology. In 2002, the amortization consisted of $149.7
million for goodwill and $0.7 million for assembled workforce, as well as $5.8
million for core technology and patents and $9 thousand for completed
technology. We completed our transitional goodwill impairment analysis under
Statement 142 during the first quarter of fiscal 2003 with no impairment
charges resulting. Our annual impairment test occurred in the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2003 with no impairment charges resulting. All intangible assets
relate to the purchase of Giganet, completed during fiscal 2001.

Nonoperating Income.Nonoperating income consisted primarily of interest
income, interest expense and other non-operating income and expense items such
as the gain on the repurchase of convertible subordinated notes. Our
nonoperating income increased by $28.3 million to $36.1 million in 2003 from
$7.8 million in 2002. The increase is due primarily to a $28.7 million gain on
the repurchase of convertible subordinated notes in 2003. Additionally, while
lower interest rates caused lower interest percentage yields, the increase in
our invested funds caused an increase in interest income to $13.0 million in
2003 from $11.2 million in 2002. The increase in interest income is offset in
2003 by a $2.1 million increase in interest expense due to us having
convertible subordinated notes outstanding for the entire year in 2003 versus
only a portion of 2002. While the repurchase of convertible subordinated
notes with a face value of $136.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003
had a proportionate reducing effect on the amount of interest expense
recognized in 2003, convertible subordinated notes were only outstanding for
approximately five months in 2002. In addition, other expense included a
loss of $0.2 million on the sale of a strategic investment in 2002.

Income Taxes.In 2003, we recorded a tax provision in the amount of $40.3
million, or approximately 38 percent of our income before income taxes. We
recorded a tax rate other than the statutory federal tax rate in 2003
principally due to state taxes in the United States. In 2002, we recorded a tax
benefit in the amount of $0.3 million. We recorded a tax benefit at a rate
other than the statutory federal tax rate in 2002 principally due to the
non-deductibility of goodwill amortization, and offset by the benefits related
primarily to the release of the valuation allowance associated with deferred
tax assets. The release of the valuation allowance in 2002 resulted in an
income tax benefit of $17.9 million. Our valuation allowance was released as
it was determined that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax asset
(related primarily to the net operating loss carryforwards and research credit
carryforwards) would be realized due to our projected future taxable income.
We expect to have a tax provision of approximately 38 percent in future
periods.

The Internal Revenue Service recently completed an examination of our 1998 U.S.
tax return, and no adjustments were made to the return.

Fiscal 2002 versus Fiscal 2001

Net Revenues.Net revenues for 2002 were $254.7 million, an increase of $9.4
million, or four percent, from $245.3 million in 2001. Our net revenues
consist primarily of sales to OEMs and distribution sales, which include sales
to distributors, value added resellers, system integrators and similar
companies. The following chart details our net revenues by distribution
channel for the 2002 and 2001 fiscal years:

A major factor in this shift from OEM to distribution net revenues is that one
of our larger OEM customers, EMC, has sourced more product through distribution
rather than purchasing it directly. Additionally, the widespread slowdown in
technology investment has affected our OEM and distribution customers at
different times and in varying degrees of severity. We continue to believe net
revenues in this market are being generated primarily from OEMs taking product
directly and through other distribution channels.

fiscal years:

During the second half of 2001, we first experienced a downturn in Fibre
Channel host bus adapter demand. We believe industry-wide decreases in
end-user demand for technology solutions caused this downturn in demand and
caused the slowing in net revenue growth generated from Fibre Channel products.
IP Storage Networking products were added to our product offerings in the
third quarter of 2001 with the acquisition of Giganet. Consequently, the
increase of $2.7 million is due primarily to the inclusion of only
approximately four months of net revenues for our IP Storage Networking
products in 2001 compared to a full year in 2002. The decrease in net revenues
from our traditional networking products was principally due to the ongoing
maturation of these products and a decrease in our focus on these products.
Our traditional networking products entered end-of-life status in 2000 and we
expect that these will contribute negligible, if any, revenues in future
periods.

In addition to direct sales, some of our larger OEM customers purchased or
marketed products indirectly through distributors, resellers or other third
parties. Customers with direct revenues only or total direct and indirect
revenues, including customer-specific models purchased or marketed indirectly
through distributors, resellers, and other third parties, of more than 10
percent were as follows:

We believe the decrease in domestic net revenues of $1.9 million, or one
percent, is principally due to industry-wide decreases in end-user demand for
technology solutions. We believe this increase in international net revenues
of $11.3 million, or 12 percent, is a function of the overall size of the
market for Fibre Channel products, increased market acceptance of our Fibre
Channel products and an increase in demand from one international OEM customer.

Gross Profit.In 2002, gross profit increased $7.4 million, or six percent, to
$131.9 million from $124.5 million in 2001. Gross margin increased to 52
percent in 2002 compared to 51 percent in 2001, but included a net excess and
obsolete inventory charge of $10.1 million during 2002 associated with
older-generation one gigabit products. Starting in late September 2001, some
of our major customers made announcements that general economic conditions,
exacerbated by the increase in economic uncertainty in the aftermath of the
terrorist events of September 11, 2001, were having a negative impact on their
financial results. The announcements made, and forecasts received, indicated
deteriorating demand for our one gigabit products as these customers were
expected to migrate to two gigabit products for future purchases. As a result,
we recorded an estimated excess and obsolete inventory charge totaling $13.6
million during the first quarter of 2002. Subsequently, as a result of
generally improved demand exceeding prior estimates and the sale of products
for which a reserve had been recorded, we recorded a reduction of $3.6 million
of this excess and obsolete inventory charge in 2002. Excluding the net excess
and obsolete inventory charge of $10.1 million from 2002, gross profit would
have been $141.9 million and gross margin would have been 56 percent. The
increase in gross profit, excluding the net inventory charge, to $141.9 million
in 2002 from $124.5 million in 2001 was primarily due to cost reductions for
Fibre Channel products, higher Fibre Channel net revenues and changes in
product mix, which more than offset the inclusion of costs associated with the
former Giganet operations, acquired in March 2001. With an acquisition date of
March 1, 2001, the former Giganet operations were included in expenses for
approximately four months in 2001 compared to a full year in 2002. The
improvement in gross margin in 2002, excluding the net inventory charge, to 56
percent compared to 51 percent in 2001, is primarily due to changes in product
mix and the improved cost structures for our newer generation products.
Additionally, cost of sales included $48 thousand and $24 thousand of amortized
deferred compensation expense related to the acquisition of Giganet in 2002 and
2001, respectively.

Engineering and development.Engineering and development expenses were $47.6
million and $27.0 million for 2002 and 2001, representing 19 and 11 percent of
net revenues, respectively. Engineering and development expenses increased by
$20.6 million, or 76 percent, in 2002 compared to 2001. This increase of $20.6
million was due to our increased investment in Fibre Channel and Internet
Protocol product development, which represented substantially all of our
engineering and development expenses. The impact of the absorption of
engineering and development expenses associated with the former

##### Table of Contents



Giganet operations, which represented a major portion of our increased
investment in Fibre Channel and Internet Protocol product development, for all
of 2002 versus approximately four months of 2001, was an estimated increase of
approximately $9.3 million. Engineering and development expenses included $2.1
million and $0.8 million of amortized deferred compensation expenses related to
the acquisition of Giganet for 2002 and 2001, respectively. Due to the
technical nature of our products, engineering support is a critical part of our
strategy during both the development of our products and the support of our
customers from product design through deployment into the market. Management
intends to continue to make significant investments in the technical support
and enhancement of our current products, as well as the continued development
of new products.

Selling and marketing.Selling and marketing expenses were $19.5 million and
$16.7 million for 2002 and 2001, representing eight and seven percent of net
revenues, respectively. The increase in selling and marketing expenses of $2.7
million, or 16 percent, was primarily due to increased salaries and commissions
associated with additional employees and higher revenues of $2.4 million, as
well as increased promotion and advertising costs of $0.3 million. These
increases included the impact of the absorption of the former Giganet
operations selling and marketing expenses for all of 2002 versus approximately
four months of 2001. Selling and marketing expenses included $1.1 million and
$0.5 million of amortized deferred compensation expenses related to the
acquisition of Giganet for 2002 and 2001, respectively. Additionally, we
recognized $0.3 million of amortized deferred compensation expense in both 2002
and 2001 associated with a change in the United Kingdoms tax laws.

General and administrative.General and administrative expenses were $13.0
million and $12.1 million for 2002 and 2001, respectively, representing five
percent of net revenues in each year. General and administrative expenses
remained relatively flat for 2002, compared to 2001, due to our emphasis on
operating expense controls, which offset the absorption of our former Giganet
operations general and administrative expenses for a full year in 2002 versus
approximately four months in 2001. General and administrative expenses
included $0.2 million and $0.1 million of amortized deferred compensation
expenses related to the acquisition of Giganet for 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles.Amortization of goodwill and
other intangibles included the amortization of goodwill and other purchased
intangible assets that related to the purchase of Giganet, completed during
2001. The amortization of goodwill and other intangibles was $156.2 million
and $52.1 million in 2002 and 2001, representing 61 and 21 percent of net
revenues, respectively. In 2002 the amortization consisted of $149.7 million
and $0.7 million for goodwill and assembled workforce, respectively; as well as
$5.8 million for core technology and patents and $9 thousand for completed
technology. In 2001, the amortization consisted of $49.9 million and $0.2
million for goodwill and assembled workforce, respectively; as well as $1.9
million for core technology and patents and $4 thousand for completed
technology. Effective with our adoption of FASB Statement 142 at the beginning
of our fiscal year 2003, we no longer incur amortization expense associated
with goodwill and assembled workforce. We have completed our transitional
impairment analysis under Statement 142 and no transitional impairment loss
resulted upon the adoption of Statement 142 as of July 1, 2002.

In-process research and development.In-process research and development
expense related to the purchase of Giganet, completed during 2001. No
in-process research and development expenses were incurred in 2002. The
in-process research and development expense was $22.3 million in 2001,
representing nine percent of net revenues.

Nonoperating income.Nonoperating income consisted primarily of interest
income partially offset by interest expense. Our nonoperating income decreased
$6.5 million to $7.8 million in 2002, compared to $14.3 million in 2001. The
decrease is due primarily to lower interest rates causing lower interest income
on our investments as well as a loss of $0.2 million on the sale of strategic
investment during 2002. The decrease in nonoperating income is also due to a
gain of $1.9 million from the sale of a strategic investment during 2001 and
$0.7 million of interest earned on a pre-acquisition note from Giganet during
2001. In 2002, interest expense of $3.4 million associated with our issuance
of convertible subordinated notes in 2002 was included.

Income Taxes.In 2002, we recorded a tax benefit in the amount of $0.3
million. We recorded the tax benefit at a rate other than the statutory
federal tax rate principally due to the non-deductibility of goodwill
amortization, and offset by the benefits related primarily to the release of
the valuation allowance associated with deferred tax assets. The release of
the valuation allowance in 2002 resulted in an income tax benefit of $17.9
million. Our valuation allowance was released as it was determined that it was
more likely than not that the deferred tax asset (related primarily to the net
operating loss carryforwards and research credit carryforwards) would be
realized due to our projection of future taxable income. In 2001, we recorded
a tax provision in the amount of $32.2 million. We recorded a tax provision
rather than a tax benefit in 2001, and at a rate other than the statutory
federal tax rate, primarily due to the non-deductibility of both the goodwill
amortization and the in-process research and development charge.

New Accounting Standards

The Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, recently reached a consensus on its
tentative conclusions for EITF 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple
Deliverables. EITF 00-21 provides accounting guidance for customer solutions
where delivery or performance of products, services and/or performance may
occur at different points in time or over different periods of time. Companies
are required to adopt this consensus for fiscal periods beginning after June
15, 2003. We believe the adoption of EITF 00-21 will not have a material
impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation 46, Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51. Interpretation 46
addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities.
Interpretation 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created
after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an
enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first year or
interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in
which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February
1, 2003. We do not believe that we have any variable interest entities to which
Interpretation 46 would apply.

In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement 149, an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which
requires prospective application for contracts entered into or modified after
June 30, 2003, except for contracts that exist in fiscal quarters that began
prior to June 15, 2003, and for hedging relationships esignated after June 30,
2003. For existing contracts in fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15,
2003, the provisions of this Statement that relate to Statement 133
implementation issues should continue to be applied in accordance with their
respective effective dates. Statement 149 requires that contracts with
comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly. We do not expect the
adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on our financial
position, results of operations or liquidity.

In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement 150, Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. Statement 150
establishes standards for classifying and measuring certain financial
instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. Statement 150
requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its
scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) because that financial
instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. Statement 150 is effective for
financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and
otherwise is effective for the first interim period beginning after June 15,
2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of a nonpublic
entity for which this statement is effective for fiscal periods beginning
December 15, 2003. We do not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have
a material impact on our financial position, results of its operations or
liquidity.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements requires estimation and judgment
that affect the reported amounts of net revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various
other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and
which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets
and liabilities. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are
reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result
in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.

We have identified the following as critical accounting policies: revenue
recognition; allowance for doubtful accounts; goodwill, other intangibles and
long-lived assets; inventories; income taxes and stock-based compensation.

Revenue Recognition. Our revenue recognition policies are in accordance with
the Securities and Exchange Commissions Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101. We
recognize revenue at the time of shipment when title and risk of loss have
passed, evidence of an arrangement has been obtained and collectibility has
been reasonably assured. We make certain sales through two-tier distribution
channels and have various distribution agreements with selected distributors
and Master Value Added Resellers, or collectively the Distributors. These
distribution agreements may be terminated upon written notice by
either party. Additionally, these Distributors are generally given privileges
to return a portion of inventory and to participate in price protection and
cooperative marketing programs. Therefore, we recognize revenues on our
standard products sold to our Distributors based on data received from the
Distributors and managements estimates to approximate the point that these
products have been resold by the Distributors. As OEM-specific models sold to
our Distributors are governed under the related OEM agreements rather than
under these distribution agreements, we recognize revenue at the time of
shipment to the Distributors when title and risk of loss have passed, evidence
of an arrangement has been obtained and collectibility has been reasonably
assured. Additionally, we maintain accruals and allowances for price
protection and cooperative marketing programs.

For products with unspecified software upgrade rights, which are our legacy
cLAN products that contribute negligible revenues, we apply the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position, or SOP, 97-2,
Software Revenue Recognition as amended by SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP
97-2, Software Revenue Recognition With Respect to Certain Transactions.
Under SOP 97-2, as amended by SOP 98-9, revenue is recognized from software
licenses, provided the software has been delivered to the customer, persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, the price charged to the customer is fixed
or determinable at fair value, there are no significant Company obligations
related to the sale and the resulting receivable is deemed collectible, net of
an allowance for doubtful accounts. In accordance with SOP 97-2, as amended by
SOP 98-9, we have deferred the revenue over the upgrade period for certain
legacy cLAN products with unspecified software upgrade rights.

Furthermore, we provide a warranty of between one and three years on our Fibre
Channel and Internet Protocol products and provide a warranty of between one
and five years on our traditional networking products. We record a provision
for estimated warranty-related costs at the time of sale based on historical
product return rates and our expected future costs of fulfilling our warranty
obligations.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We maintain an allowance for doubtful
accounts based upon historical write-offs as a percentage of net revenues.
Although we have not experienced significant losses on accounts receivable
historically, our accounts receivable are concentrated with a small number of
customers. Consequently, any write off associated with one of these customers
could have a significant impact on our allowance for doubtful accounts.

Goodwill, Other Intangibles and Long-Lived Assets. Goodwill and other
intangibles resulting from the acquisition of Giganet are carried at cost less
accumulated amortization. For assets with determinable useful lives,
amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
economic lives of the respective intangible assets, ranging from two to seven
years. We adopted Statement 142 effective July 1, 2002, and no longer amortize
goodwill and other intangibles that have indeterminate useful lives. The
adoption of Statement 142 had a significant effect on our results of
operations. Prior to the adoption for Statement 142 we applied Statement 121
for goodwill, other intangibles and long-lived assets. We completed our
transitional impairment analysis under Statement 142 and found no impairment
upon the adoption of Statement 142 as of July 1, 2002. Our annual impairment
test occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 with no impairment charges
resulting. In accordance with Statement 142, goodwill and other intangibles
that have indeterminate lives will be tested for impairment at least annually,
but also on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates that it is
more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred. Any future
impairment loss could materially and adversely affect our financial position
and results of operations.

We apply Statement 144, under which the recoverability of long-lived assets is
assessed by determining whether the carrying value of an asset can be recovered
through projected undiscounted future operating cash flows over its remaining
life whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that we may not be
able to recover the assets carrying value. The amount of impairment, if any,
is measured based on fair value, which is determined using projected discounted
future operating cash flows. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the
lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable
value on a first-in, first-out basis. We use a standard cost system for
purposes of determining cost. The standards are adjusted periodically to
ensure they represent actual cost. We regularly compare forecasted demand and
the composition of the forecast against inventory on hand and open purchase
commitments in an effort to ensure the carrying value of inventory does not
exceed net realizable value. Accordingly, we may have to record reductions to
the carrying value of excess and obsolete inventory if forecasted demand
decreases.

Income Taxes. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability
method, which recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax
consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We
regularly review historical and anticipated future pre-tax results of
operations to determine whether we will be able to realize the benefit of our
deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is required to reduce the potential
deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of
the potential deferred tax asset will not be realized due to the lack of
sufficient taxable income.

Stock-Based Compensation. We account for our stock-based awards to employees
using the intrinsic value method. Stock-based awards to non-employees, if any,
are recorded using the fair value method. See note 1 and note 12 of the
Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. Although we have no
plans to adopt the fair value provisions of

Statement 123 unless required to under new accounting standards for all stock
awards, if we were required to account for all stock-based awards based on the
fair value method, it would have a material impact on our results of
operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 29, 2003, we had $423.2 million in working capital and $620.5 million
in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, current investments and
long-term investments. At June 30, 2002, we had $558.2 in working capital, and
$631.8 in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, current investments and
long-term investments. Our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $145.6
million from $282.6 million as of June 30, 2002, to $137.0 million as of June
29, 2003. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was due to our investing
and financing activities, which used $153.5 million and $99.2 million of cash
and cash equivalents, respectively. The cash and cash equivalents used by
investing and financing activities were partially offset by our operating
activities, which provided $107.1 million of cash and cash equivalents.

In 2003, investing activities, which primarily consisted of purchases of
investments of $650.2 million, maturities of investments of $523.2 million and
additions to property and equipment of $19.2 million, used $153.5 million of
cash and cash equivalents. In 2002, investing activities, which primarily
consisted of purchases of investments of $732.1 million, maturities of
investments of $571.5 and additions to property and equipment of $9.7 million,
used $172.2 million of cash and cash equivalents.

Financing activities used $99.2 million of cash and cash equivalents in 2003.
This decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to our repurchase
of approximately $136.5 million in face value of convertible subordinated notes
at a discount to face value, spending $104.2 million. This decrease in cash
and cash equivalents was partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of
common stock under stock option plans and proceeds from the issuance of common
stock under the employee stock purchase plan. In 2002, financing activities,
which consisted primarily of the net proceeds from the issuance of convertible
subordinated notes of $334.2 million as well as the repurchase of common stock
and the proceeds from the issuance of common stock under stock option plans and
the employee stock purchase plan, provided $329.1 million of cash and cash
equivalents.

Operating activities provided $107.1 million of cash and cash equivalents in
2003, primarily from net income before non-cash activities. Such non-cash
activities consisted primarily of the gain on repurchase of convertible
subordinated notes, deferred income taxes, litigation settlements,
depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, the amortization of
other intangibles, deferred stock-based compensation and the tax benefit from
the exercise of stock options. Additional increases in cash and cash
equivalents were due to a decrease in inventories and a decrease in prepaid
expenses and other assets. These increases to net cash provided by operating
activities were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable,
decrease in accrued liabilities, a decrease in income taxes payable and a
decrease in accounts payable. In 2002, operating activities provided $89.3
million of cash and cash equivalents. This increase in cash and cash
equivalents provided by operating activities in 2002 was primarily due to our
net income before non-cash activities such as the amortization of goodwill and
other intangibles, depreciation and amortization of property and equipment,
deferred stock-based compensation, the tax benefit from the exercise of stock
options, and deferred income taxes, as well as changes in other working
capital balances. The changes in other working capital balances in 2002
included the effect of the net excess and obsolete charge of $10.1 million
associated with older generation one Gbps products.

Our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to four million common
shares over the two years beginning in September 2001. The repurchase plan
authorized us to make repurchases in the open market or through privately
negotiated transactions with the timing and terms of any purchase to be
determined by management based on market conditions. During the first quarter
of fiscal 2002, we repurchased 1.0 million common shares and did not
subsequently repurchase any additional shares during fiscal 2002 or 2003.

On January 29, 2002, we completed a $345.0 million private placement of 1.75
percent convertible subordinated notes due February 1, 2007. During the three
months ended September 29, 2002, our Board of Directors expanded our
repurchase program to include the repurchase of our convertible subordinated
notes up to a purchase price of $125.0 million. Also during the three months
ended September 29, 2002, we bought back at a discount to face value
approximately $136.5 million in face value of our convertible subordinated
notes, spending $104.2 million. The repurchased notes were cancelled, leaving
convertible subordinated notes outstanding with a face value of $208.5
million, which, if converted, would result in the issuance of approximately
3.9 million shares. The resulting net pre-tax gain of approximately $28.7
million from the repurchase of the convertible subordinated notes was recorded
for the three months ended September 29, 2002.

During the three months ended March 30, 2003, our Board of Directors further
expanded the repurchase program for the repurchase of our convertible
subordinated notes up to a total purchase price of $190.0 million. The
combined program authorizes the repurchase of up to 4.0 million shares of
common stock, leaving 3.0 million common shares authorized for repurchase at
June 29, 2003, and up to $190.0 million to be spent on the repurchase of
convertible subordinated notes, leaving $85.8 million authorized for
repurchase at June 29, 2003.

Subsequent to the year ended June 29, 2003, our Board of Directors expanded
our stock repurchase program to include the repurchase of all of our
convertible subordinated notes and extend the entire program to June 2005.
The combined program authorizes the repurchase of up to 4.0 million shares of
common stock and the repurchase of all of the convertible subordinated notes.
Also subsequent to the year ended June 29, 2003, and through August 27, 2003,
we bought back approximately $93.9 million of our convertible subordinated
notes at a discount to face value, spending approximately $87.3 million. The
repurchased notes were cancelled, leaving convertible subordinated notes
outstanding with a face value of approximately $114.7 million that, if
converted, would result in the issuance of approximately 2.1 million shares.
The resulting net pre-tax gain of approximately $4.7 million from the
repurchase of the convertible subordinated notes will be reported in the first
quarter of fiscal 2004.

We were previously required to enter into end-of-life purchase agreements for
two key inventory components as the sole-source manufacturers of these
components announced their discontinued manufacturing of the components. As of
June 29, 2003, our remaining purchase obligation for the two components was
$13.8 million.

For the three months ended March 30, 2003, we recorded a net $27.0 million
before-tax charge associated with the tentative settlements of securities class
action and derivative lawsuits. The net $27.0 million charge included $39.5
million expected to be paid to plaintiffs during fiscal 2004, less an estimated
$12.5 million probable minimum recovery from our insurance carriers expected in
fiscal 2004. In addition to the $12.5 million, our litigation settlements
receivable based upon our probable minimum recovery at June 29, 2003, also
includes $0.6 million designated for related legal fees. At June 29, 2003, all
related unpaid legal fees have been accrued as a liability.

In 2002, we entered into an agreement to relocate our headquarters locally in
Costa Mesa, California. We will finance the build to suit construction phase
of the approximately 180 thousand square feet facility with our own capital,
before beginning a 10-year lease term with an option to buy the land and
buildings during the first six months of the lease term. If we do not exercise
our option to purchase the facility, the landlord will obtain permanent
financing and reimburse us for the construction costs. Construction on our new
corporate headquarters is progressing. If purchased, we believe the total
cost, including the land, building and other related capital expenditures,
would be approximately $47.0 million. Our total gross undiscounted financial
commitment for the 10-year lease term would be approximately $45.9 million. At
June 29, 2003, we had restricted cash of $9.3 million held in escrow associated
with the construction of the headquarters. In addition, we have a $1.0 million
letter of credit in place in lieu of a rental deposit on one of our other
facilities.

As part of our commitment to storage networking product development, including
Fibre Channel and IP Networking, we expect to continue our investments in
property and equipment, most notably for additional engineering equipment,
continued enhancement of our global IT infrastructure and the local relocation
of our Costa Mesa, California facility. In addition, the plaintiffs in the
tentative settlements of securities class action and derivative lawsuits will
be paid $39.5 million during fiscal 2004. We believe that our existing cash
and cash equivalents balances, facilities and equipment leases, investments
and anticipated cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to
support our working capital needs and capital expenditure requirements for at
least the next 12 months.

As described above and in note 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements,
the following summarizes our contractual obligations at June 29, 2003, and the
effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in
future periods:

Item 7a. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

At June 29, 2003, our investment portfolio consisted primarily of fixed income
securities, excluding those classified as cash, cash equivalents and restricted
cash, of $474.1 million (see note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements).
We have the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity.
Currently, the carrying amount of these securities approximates fair market
value. However, the fair market value of these securities is subject to
interest rate risk and would decline in value if market interest rates
increased. If market interest rates were to increase immediately and uniformly
by 10 percent from the levels existing as of June 29, 2003, the decline in the
fair value of the portfolio would not be material to our financial position,
results of operations and cash flows. However, if interest rates decreased and
securities within our portfolio matured and were re-invested in securities with
lower interest rates, interest income would decrease in the future. Our 1.75
percent convertible subordinated notes are due February 1, 2007.

Foreign Currency

We have executed and will continue to execute transactions in foreign
currencies. As a result, we may be exposed to financial market risk resulting
from fluctuations in foreign currency rates, particularly the British Pound
and the Euro. Given the relatively small number of foreign currency
transactions, we do not believe that its potential exposure to fluctuations in
foreign currency rates is significant.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Emulex Corporation:

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Emulex Corporation and
subsidiaries as listed in the accompanying index. In connection with our
audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the
financial statement schedule as listed in the accompanying index. These
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedule based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Emulex Corporation
and subsidiaries as of June 29, 2003, and June 30, 2002, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended June 29, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related
financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein.

As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective July
1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.

|       |  | The Company has designated the U.S. dollar as its functional
currency. Accordingly, monetary assets and liabilities denominated
in foreign currencies are remeasured into the U.S. dollar at the
exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
remeasured into the U.S. dollar at the appropriate historical
exchange rates. Income and expense amounts denominated in foreign
currencies are remeasured into the U.S. dollar at the average
exchange rates during the period, except for expense items related to
non-monetary accounts, which are remeasured at the appropriate
historical exchange rates. Gains and losses resulting from
remeasurement are included in other nonoperating income (expenses) in
the period incurred.

|       |  | The Company determines the appropriate balance sheet classification
of its investments in debt securities based on maturity date at the
time of purchase and evaluates the classification at each balance
sheet date. Debt securities are classified as held to maturity as
the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the
securities to maturity. Held to maturity securities are stated at
amortized cost. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted
for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity
value. Such amortization and accretion are included in interest
income. The Companys investments in debt securities are diversified
among high credit quality securities in accordance with the Companys
investment policy.

|       |  | Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value
on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company uses a standard cost
system for purposes of determining cost. The standards are adjusted
periodically to ensure they represent actual cost. The Company
regularly compares forecasted demand and the composition of the
forecast for its products against inventory on hand and open purchase
commitments to ensure the carrying value of inventory does not exceed
net realizable value. Accordingly, the Company may have to record
reductions to the carrying value of excess and obsolete inventory if
forecasted demand decreases.

| |  | The Company applies Statement 144, under which the recoverability of
long-lived assets is assessed by determining whether the carrying
value of an asset can be recovered through projected undiscounted
future operating cash flows over its remaining life whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the Company may not be able
to recover the assets carrying value. The amount of impairment, if
any, is measured based on fair value, which is determined using
projected discounted future operating cash flows. Assets to be
disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair
value less costs to sell.

| |  | Capitalized software development costs can consist of costs to
purchase software to be used within the Companys products and costs
to develop software internally. In accordance with Statement 86,
Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or
Otherwise Marketed, capitalization of purchased software occurs only
if technological feasibility has been established. The establishment
of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of
recoverability of any capitalized software development costs require
judgment by management with respect to certain external factors,
including but not limited to, anticipated future gross revenue,
estimated economic life and changes in software and hardware
technologies. Further, Statement 86 requires that at each balance
sheet date the unamortized costs of a computer software product be
compared to the net realizable value of that product. The amount by
which the unamortized costs exceeds the net realizable value of a
product is to be written off. No purchased or internally developed
software costs were capitalized in 2003, 2002 or 2001. As of June
29, 2003, and June 30, 2002, there were no unamortized costs of
capitalized purchased software included in intangible assets.

| |  | Goodwill and other intangibles resulting from the acquisition of
Giganet are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. For
assets with determinable useful lives, amortization is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the
respective intangible assets, ranging from two to seven years. The
Company adopted Statement 142 effective July 1, 2002, and no longer
amortizes goodwill and other intangibles that have indeterminate
useful lives. Prior to the adoption of Statement 142 the Company
applied Statement 121 for goodwill, other intangibles and long-lived
assets. The Company completed its transitional impairment analysis
under Statement 142 and found no impairment upon the adoption of
Statement 142 as of July 1, 2002. The Companys annual impairment
test occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 with no impairment
charges resulting. In accordance with Statement 142, goodwill and
other intangibles that have indeterminate lives will be tested for
impairment at least annually, but also on an interim basis if an
event or circumstance indicates that it is more likely than not than

| |  | The Companys revenue recognition policies are in accordance with the
Securities and Exchange Commissions Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
101. The Company recognizes revenue at the time of shipment when
title and risk of loss have passed, evidence of an arrangement has
been obtained and collectibility has been reasonably assured. The
Company makes certain sales through two-tier distribution channels
and has various distribution agreements with selected distributors
and Master Value Added Resellers, or collectively the Distributors.
These distribution agreements may be terminated upon written notice
by either party. Additionally, these Distributors are generally
given privileges to return a portion of inventory and to participate
in price protection and cooperative marketing programs. Therefore,
the Company recognizes revenues on its standard products sold to its
Distributors based on data received from the Distributors and
managements estimates to approximate the point that these products
have been resold by the Distributors. As OEM-specific models sold to
the Companys Distributors are governed under the related OEM
agreements rather than under these distribution agreements, the
Company recognizes revenue at the time of shipment to the
Distributors when title and risk of loss have passed, evidence of an
arrangement has been obtained and collectibility has been reasonably
assured.
Additionally, the Company maintains accruals and allowances for price
protection and cooperative marketing programs.

| |  | For products with unspecified software upgrade rights, which are the
Companys legacy cLAN products that contribute negligible revenues,
the Company applies the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants Statement of Position, or (SOP), 97-2, Software
Revenue Recognition as amended by SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP
97-2, Software Revenue Recognition With Respect to Certain
Transactions. Under SOP 97-2, as amended by SOP 98-9, revenue is
recognized from software licenses, provided the software has been
delivered to the customer, persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, the price charged to the customer is fixed or determinable at
fair value, there are no significant Company obligations related to
the sale and the resulting receivable is deemed collectible, net of
an allowance for doubtful accounts. In accordance with SOP 97-2, as
amended by SOP 98-9, the Company has deferred the revenue over the
upgrade period for certain legacy cLAN products with unspecified
software upgrade rights.

years on its Fibre Channel and Internet Protocol products and
provides a warranty of between one and five years on its traditional
networking products. The Company records a provision for estimated
warranty-related costs at the time of sale based on historical
product return rates and on the Companys expected future costs of
fulfilling its warranty obligations.

| |  | The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability
method, which recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to
taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company
regularly reviews historical and anticipated future pre-tax results
of operations to determine whether the Company will be able to
realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets. A valuation
allowance is required to reduce the potential deferred tax asset when
it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the potential
deferred tax asset will not be realized due to the lack of sufficient
taxable income.

| |  | The Company accounts for its stock-based awards to employees using
the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board (APB)
Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations. Stock-based awards to
non-
employees, if any, are recorded using the fair value method. Had the
Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the
grant date for all its stock options under Statement 123, the
Companys net income (loss) would have been the pro forma amounts
indicated below:

| |  | The Black-Scholes model, as well as other currently accepted option
valuation models, was developed to estimate the fair value of
freely-tradable, fully-transferable options without vesting
restrictions, which significantly differ from the Companys stock
option plans. These models also require highly subjective
assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected
time until exercise, which greatly affect the calculated fair value
on the grant date.

subordinated notes are included in other assets and the convertible
subordinated notes are shown at cash settlement value.

|
| |  | The company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon
historical write-offs as a percentage of net revenues. Although the
Company has not experienced significant losses on accounts receivable
historically, its accounts receivable are concentrated with a small
number of customers. Consequently, any write off associated with one
of these customers could have a significant impact on the Companys
allowance for doubtful accounts.

| |  | Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash
equivalents, short-term and long-term investments and accounts
receivable. Cash, cash equivalents, and investments, both short-term
and long-term, are primarily maintained at five major financial
institutions in the United States. Deposits held with banks may
exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits, if any.

| |  | The Company principally invests in U.S. Government Agency securities
and corporate bonds and limits the amount of credit exposure to any
one entity.

| |  | The Company sells its products to Original Equipment Manufacturers
(OEMs) and distributors in the computer storage and server
industry. Consequently, the Companys net revenues and accounts
receivables are concentrated. Direct sales to the Companys top five
customers accounted for 68 percent, 65 percent and 72 percent of
total net revenues in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The level
of sales to any single customer may vary and the loss of any one of
these customers, or a decrease in the level of sales to any one of
these customers, could have a material adverse impact on the Company.
Furthermore, although the Company sells to customers throughout the
world, sales in the United States and Europe accounted for
approximately 93 percent of the Companys net revenues in 2003, and
the Company expects for the foreseeable future, these sales will
account for the substantial majority of the Companys revenues.
Sales to customers are denominated in U.S. dollars. Consequently,
the Company believes its foreign currency risk is minimal. The
Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers
financial condition and generally requires no collateral from its
customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts.
Historically, the Company has not experienced significant losses on
accounts receivable.

| |  | Additionally, the Company currently relies on single and limited
supply sources for several key components used in the manufacture of
its products. Additionally, the company relies on a total of three
sites from two Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) providers
for the production of its products. The inability or unwillingness
of any single and limited source suppliers or the inability or
unwillingness of any of the Companys EMS provider sites to fulfill
supply and production requirements, respectively, could materially
impact future operating results.

could differ from these estimates.

| |  | The Company applies Statement 131, Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information. Statement 131 uses the
management approach to determine segments of an enterprise. The
management approach is based on the method by which management
organizes its operating segments within the enterprise. Operating
segments, as defined by Statement 131, are components of an
enterprise for which separate financial information is available and
is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker in
deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
Statement 131 also requires disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas, and major customers. The Company operates in one
operating segment, networking products, for purposes of Statement
131.

| |  | Effective July 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,
under which the recoverability of long-lived assets is assessed by
determining whether the carrying value of an asset can be recovered
through projected undiscounted future operating cash flows over its
remaining life. The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based
on fair value, which is determined using projected discounted future
operating cash flows. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the
lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The
adoption of Statement 144 did not have a material impact on the
Companys financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

| |  | In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation 45, Guarantors
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, which addresses the
disclosure to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual
financial statements about its obligations under guarantees. The
required disclosures are included in note 8. Interpretation 45 also
requires the recognition of a liability by a guarantor at

inception of certain guarantees. Interpretation 45 requires the
guarantor to recognize a liability for the non-contingent component
of the guarantee. This is the obligation to stand ready to perform
in the event that specified triggering events or conditions occur.
The initial measurement of this liability is the fair value of the
guarantee at inception. The recognition of the liability is required
even if it is not probable that payments will be required under the
guarantee or if the guarantee was issued with a premium payment or as
part of a transaction with multiple elements. As noted above, the
Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of Interpretation 45
and has applied the recognition and measurement provisions for all
guarantees entered into or modified after December 31, 2002. The
adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys financial
position, results of operations or liquidity.

| |  | In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement 148, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation  Transition and Disclosure. Statement 148
amends the disclosure requirements in Statement 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation for annual periods ending after December
15, 2002, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002.
The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of Statement 148 during
the three months ended March 30, 2003. Effective for financial
statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002, Statement
148 also provides three alternative transition methods for companies
that choose to adopt the fair value measurement provisions of
Statement 123. Should the Company be required to adopt the fair
value measurement provisions of Statement 123 and Statement 148, it
would have a material impact on the Companys results of operations.
However, the Company has no plans to adopt the fair value measurement
provisions of Statement 123 unless required to under new accounting
standards and, as such, the adoption of Statement 148 did not have a
material impact on the Companys financial position, results of
operations or liquidity.

Note 2   Business Combination



| |  | On March 1, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of Giganet,
Inc., a privately-held developer of storage networking products based
on Ethernet and IP technologies and a Massachusetts corporation
(Giganet), pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated December 7, 2000 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated
February 7, 2001, the Merger Agreement), by and among the Company,
Giganet, GEMX Network Sub, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation and
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Stockholder
Representatives identified therein. As a result of the merger (the
Merger), GEMX Network Sub, Inc. merged with and into Giganet and
Giganet became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Emulex. Effective July
2, 2001, Giganet was merged with and into Emulex Corporation, a
California corporation that is the primary operating subsidiary of
the Company.

|
| |  | In connection with the Merger, the Company issued an aggregate of
approximately 6.7 million shares of Emulex common stock in exchange
for all of the outstanding shares of Giganet common stock and
preferred stock. Of the total shares issued, 0.8 million shares were
held in escrow for a period of one year to secure indemnification
obligations of Giganet under the terms of the Merger Agreement. In
addition, the Company reserved for issuance an aggregate of
approximately 1.3 million shares of its common stock for issuance
upon exercise of Giganet options assumed by the Company.

| |  | The Merger has been accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The Company recorded a one-time charge for purchased
in-process research and development (IPR&D) expenses of $22.3
million related to the acquisition during the third quarter of 2001.
The Company assessed and allocated values to IPR&D. The values
assigned to these projects were determined by identifying projects
that have economic value but that had not yet reached technological

had not been released to the market as of the date of the Merger, but
the features and functionality of the products had been defined.

| |  | The IPR&D expenses related primarily to three significant internal
product development efforts. The first project accounted for $11.0
million of the expenses and was designed using commercially available
third party one Gbps components to implement Virtual Interface (VI)
over Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
thereby greatly enhancing the speeds of data traffic on existing
Internet Protocol (IP) networks. The second project accounted for
$4.1 million of the IPR&D expenses and was internally designing a one
gigabit per

third project accounted for $7.2 million of the IPR&D expenses and
was a single ASIC design capable of running multiple protocols over
IP at 10 Gbps speed.

| |  | The first project was complete from a board layout perspective but
still required firmware, hardware and operating system integration.
At the time of the acquisition, the first project was 60% complete.
The second project had completed requirement and architectural
specifications and was 16% complete at the time of the acquisition.
Remaining efforts to complete the second project included delivery of
design specifications to the foundry, manufacture of prototypes, and
testing of those prototypes against the original specifications.
This development would include routing, tape out, prototyping,
integration, testing and release processes. The third project, a 10
Gbps multi-protocol IP chip, was complete from a marketing
requirements perspective and was 20% complete at the time of the
acquisition. Remaining efforts to complete the third project
included architectural specifications, delivery of design
specifications to the foundry, manufacture of prototypes, and testing
of those prototypes against the original specifications. This
development would include architectural design, routing, tape out,
prototyping, integration, testing and release processes.

| |  | At the time of the acquisition, the first project was anticipated to
be completed and brought to market in July of 2001 as requirements,
function specifications and discrete board layouts had been
completed. The estimated costs to complete the first project were
$1.9 million. At the time of the acquisition, the second project was
anticipated to be completed and brought to market in September 2002
as functional and architectural requirements had been completed. The
estimated costs to complete the second project were $4.6 million. At
the time of the acquisition, the third project was anticipated to be
completed and brought to market in the first calendar quarter of 2003
as the project was complete from a marketing requirements perspective
only. The estimated costs to complete the third project were $5.5
million.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
|
| |  | Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company reviewed the three IPR&D
projects. The first project was required to fulfill a contractual
obligation for implementing VI over IP with one of the Companys
customers and was completed substantially on time and met the
Companys customers needs.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
|
| |  | The second project was a follow on to the first project and was
designed to integrate the functions and technologies of multiple
chips into a single ASIC that would allow for the transporting of
storage data over an IP network at one Gbps, which was similar to
what the Companys HBA products do on a Fibre Channel network. By
the end of Q1 fiscal 2002, the transition to two Gbps Fibre Channel
products was accelerating, and at the same time deployment of new
technologies was slowing down due to the overall slowdown in the
economy in general, and information technology spending specifically.
Because of the economic conditions, combined with the significant
performance advantages of two Gbps Fibre Channel versus the one Gbps
IP solutions, the Company did not believe the second project would be
a commercially feasible product by the time it reached market.
Consequently, the Company decided to cancel this project and focus on
10 Gbps for both Fibre Channel and IP.                                                                                                                                                                                                   
|
| |  | The third project was a 10 Gbps program for IP that was in the early
stages of development at the time of the acquisition. Although the
marketing requirements had been defined, the architecture had not
been completed. At the time of acquisition, the Company was also
working on the requirements for a 10 Gbps Fibre Channel product.
After completing the acquisition, the Company reviewed both the 10
Gbps Fibre Channel and the 10 Gbps IP projects to determine how best
to leverage the required resources to bring both products to market.
Because of the similar operating environments and performance
requirements for both technologies, the Company decided to cancel the
third project and develop a common architecture that could leverage
the Companys existing drivers, as that would provide the greatest
advantage for both Fibre Channel and IP 10 Gbps technology.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
|
| |  | The values of these projects were determined using the Income
Forecast Method. In applying the Income Forecast Method, the value
of the acquired technologies was estimated by discounting to present
value the free cash flows generated by the products with which the
technologies are associated, over the remaining economic lives of the
technologies. To distinguish between the cash flows attributable to
the underlying technology and cash flows attributable to other assets
available for generating product revenues, adjustments were made to
provide for a fair

assets that contribute to value. The estimates were based on the
following assumptions:
| |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The estimated revenues assume average compound
annual revenue growth rates of 102 percent to 316 percent
during fiscal years 2002 through 2008, depending on the
product line. Estimated total revenues from the purchased
in-process products peak in the year 2007 and decline in
2008 as other new products are expected to be introduced
by the Company. These projections are based on
managements estimates over the expected remaining
economic lives of the technologies.

|
| |  |  | IPR&D value was comprised of three on-going
projects. The estimated cost of revenues as a percentage
of revenues is expected to range from 50 percent to 60
percent.

| |  |  | The discount rates used in the valuation
reflect the relative risk of the product lines. For IPR&D
projects, the discount rates ranged from 30 percent to 45
percent, which was based on the amount and risk of effort
remaining to complete the respective development projects.

determining the income forecast associated with the IPR&D products
were reasonable. No assurance can be given, however, that the
underlying assumptions used to estimate the income forecast, the
ultimate revenues and costs on such projects or the events associated
with such projects, will transpire as estimated.

valuation allowance were allocated from goodwill to deferred tax
assets (see note 13). The goodwill and other intangibles were being
amortized on a straight-line basis over the following estimated
useful lives, in years, until the adoption of Statement 142 on July
1, 2002, when the Company stopped amortizing assembled workforce and
goodwill. The Company continued amortization of completed technology
until fully amortized in 2003 and continues to amortize core
technology and patents for its remaining estimated useful life.

| |  | Starting in late September 2001, some of the Companys major
customers made announcements that general economic conditions,
exacerbated by the increase in economic uncertainty in the aftermath
of the terrorist events of September 11, 2001, were having a negative
impact on their financial results. The announcements made, and
forecasts received, indicated deteriorating demand for the Companys
one Gbps products as these customers were expected to migrate to two
Gbps products for future purchases. As a result, the Company
recorded an excess and obsolete inventory charge totaling $13.6
million during the three months ended September 30, 2001.
Subsequently, as a result of the sale of previously reserved
products, the Company recorded a reduction of $3.6 million of this
excess and obsolete inventory reserve in 2002, and a further
reduction of $3.3 million in 2003. After initially recording its one
Gbps reserve in September 2001, the Company has subsequently reduced
this reserve by a total of $6.9 million through June 29, 2003, as
previously reserved inventory has been sold. Overall, the Company
has been able to recover a significant portion of this reserved
inventory that was not expected based on the Companys forecasts and
the forecasts received from its customers when this excess and
obsolete inventory charge was recorded. In addition to the sale of
some of this previously reserved product, the Company has also
scrapped $3.3 million of this reserved inventory and negotiated and
paid cancellation charges of $0.2 million through June 29, 2003,
related to this excess and obsolete inventory charge since it was
initially recorded. As of June 29, 2003, the remaining reserve for
one Gbps products was $3.2 million. However, as with all inventory,
the Company regularly compares forecasted demand for its one Gbps
products against inventory on hand and open purchase commitments and
accordingly, the Company may have to record reductions to the
carrying value of excess and obsolete inventory if forecasted demand
decreases. As of June 29, 2003, the Company had unreserved one Gbps
inventory on hand of approximately $0.9 million.

| |  | Effective July 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement 142, Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets and, as a result, the Company ceased
amortizing goodwill of $397.3 million beginning July 1, 2002.
Included in goodwill is $1.8 million of assembled workforce that was
reclassified to goodwill effective July 1, 2002. In conjunction with
the adoption of Statement 142, the Company completed its transitional
goodwill impairment test for its one reporting unit during the three
months ended September 29, 2002, with no impairment charges resulting.
The Companys annual impairment test occurred in the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2003 with no impairment charges resulting. Goodwill will be
tested for impairment at least annually, but also on an interim basis
if an event or circumstance indicates that it is more likely than not
that an impairment loss has been incurred. In 2002, $3.8 million of
tax benefits related to the release of valuation allowance were
allocated from goodwill to deferred tax assets (see note 13).

| |  | The remaining intangible assets subject to amortization are being
amortized on a straight-line basis over seven years. Aggregated
amortization expense for other intangibles for the twelve months ended
June 29, 2003, was $5.8 million and for the next five fiscal years is
expected to be (in thousands):

Note 9 Convertible Subordinated Notes



| |  | On January 29, 2002, the Company completed a $345.0 million private
placement of 1.75 percent convertible subordinated notes due February
1, 2007. Interest is payable in cash on February 1 and August 1 of
each year beginning August 1, 2002. These notes may be converted by
the holder at any time into shares of the Companys common stock at
the conversion price of $53.84 per share, subject to the potential
adjustments described in the terms of the notes issued. The Company
may redeem the notes on or after February 5, 2005, in whole or in
part. The Company incurred associated issuance costs of
approximately $11.0 million (see note 6).

| |  | During the three months ended September 29, 2002, the Companys Board
of Directors expanded the Companys stock repurchase program to
include repurchase of the Companys convertible subordinated notes as
well as shares of the Companys common stock. The combined program
authorized the repurchase of up to 4.0 million shares with 3.0
million shares of common stock still available for repurchase at June
29, 2003, and up to an additional $125.0 million to be spent on the
repurchase of the convertible subordinated notes. In August 2002,
the Company bought back at a discount to face value approximately
$136.5 million in face value of its convertible subordinated notes,
spending $104.2 million. The repurchased notes were cancelled,
leaving convertible subordinated notes outstanding with a face value
of $208.5 million, which, if converted, would result in the issuance
of approximately 3.9 million shares. The resulting net pre-tax gain
of $28.7 million from the repurchase of the convertible subordinated
notes was recorded for the three months ended September 29, 2002.
During the three months ended March 30, 2003, the Companys Board of
Directors further expanded the repurchase of the convertible
subordinated notes up to a total purchase price of $190.0 million,
leaving $85.8 million authorized for repurchase at June 29, 2003 (see
note 17).

Note 10 Employee Retirement Savings Plan



| |  | The Company has a pretax savings and profit sharing plan under
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code for substantially all
domestic employees. Under the plan, eligible employees are able
to contribute up to 15 percent of their compensation not to exceed
the maximum IRS deferral amount. Company discretionary
contributions match up to four percent of a participants

| |  | The Companys eligible employees in the United Kingdom are offered a
similar plan, which allows the employees to contribute up to 15
percent of their compensation. Company discretionary contributions
match up to four percent of a participants compensation. The
Companys contributions under this plan were $18 thousand, $15
thousand and $7 thousand in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

| |  | In addition to the minimum leases payments illustrated above, the
Company begins a lease on its new corporate headquarters with the
option to buy the land and buildings during the first six months of
the lease term, upon occupation in fiscal 2004. If the Company were
to not purchase the land and buildings, its additional lease
commitments would be approximately $2.2 million in 2004, depending on
occupancy date, $4.5 million per year from fiscal 2005 through fiscal
2007, and $30.2 million, in total, for 2008 and after.

| |  | Beginning on or about February 20, 2001, the Company and certain of
its officers and directors were named as defendants in a number of
securities class action lawsuits filed in the United States District
Court, Central District of California. The plaintiffs in the actions
represent purchasers of the Companys common stock during various
periods ranging from January 18, 2001, through February 9, 2001. The
complaints allege that the Company and certain of its officers and
directors made misrepresentations and omissions in violation of
sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. The complaints generally seek compensatory damages, costs
and attorneys fees in an unspecified amount. Pursuant to a
Stipulation and Court Order, the actions were consolidated. On
August 24, 2001, an Amended and Consolidated Complaint was filed.
Defendants motion to dismiss was denied by way of an order dated
March 7, 2002. Defendants motion for reconsideration of that order
was denied by an order dated May 3, 2002. Plaintiffs commenced
discovery. The court certified the class action by an order dated
September 30, 2002. Following these class action lawsuits, a number
of derivative cases were filed in state courts in California and
Delaware, and in federal court in California, alleging that certain
officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company
in connection with the events alleged in the class action lawsuits.
The derivative cases filed in California state courts were
consolidated in Orange County Superior Court and plaintiffs filed a
consolidated and amended complaint on January 31, 2002. On May 10,
2002, the Orange County Superior Court ordered that the consolidated
actions be stayed pending resolution of the federal class action
described above. The derivative suit in Delaware was dismissed on
August 28, 2001. On March 15, 2002, the United States District Court
for the Central District of California ordered that the federal
derivative action be stayed pending resolution of the class action
lawsuit described above. The Company has received inquiries about
events giving rise to the lawsuits from the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the Nasdaq Stock Market. On April 22, 2003, the
Company entered into two Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs)
agreeing to terms of settlement of both the class action and
derivative litigation. The MOUs call for settlement payments
totaling $39.0 million, plus up to $0.5 million of the cost of
providing notice to the class members. A Final Order and Judgment
was approved by the court in the derivative cases on May 30, 2003,
based on a Stipulation of Settlement of Derivative Claims dated as
of May 13, 2003. An Order Preliminarily Approving Settlement and
Providing for Notice was approved by the court in the federal class
action on July 11, 2003, based on a Stipulation of Settlement dated
as of July 3, 2003. A Settlement Hearing is scheduled for October
15, 2003, in the federal class action. Insurance proceeds are
expected to reimburse the Company for a minimum

$12.5 million of the settlement payments, in addition to $2.5 million
for legal expenses and the probable net effect of the settlements to
the Company, based on the Companys current minimum estimate of
reimbursement from the insurance carriers, is expected to be
approximately $27.0 million, or $16.7 million after tax. All amounts
were recorded during 2003. We commenced an arbitration proceeding
against three of our insurance carriers in June 2003 seeking
reimbursement of $30.0 million for the defense and settlement costs.

| |  | The Company recorded an estimated excess and obsolete inventory
charge of $13.6 million associated with older-generation one Gbps
products during the three months ended September 30, 2001.
Subsequently, as a result of the sale of previously reserved
products, the Company recorded a reduction of $3.6 million of this
excess and obsolete inventory reserve in 2002 and a further reduction
of $3.3 million for fiscal 2003. After initially recording its one
Gbps reserve in September 2001, the Company has subsequently reduced
this reserve by a total of $6.9 million through June 29, 2003, as
previously reserved inventory has been sold. Overall, the Company
has been able to recover a significant portion of this reserved
inventory that was not expected based on the Companys forecast and
the forecasts received from its customers when this excess and
obsolete inventory charge was recorded. In addition to the sale of
some of this previously reserved product, the Company has also
scrapped $3.3 million of this reserved inventory and negotiated and
paid cancellation charges of $0.2 million through June 29, 2003,
related to this excess and obsolete inventory charge since it was
initially recorded. As of June 29, 2003, the remaining reserve for
one Gbps products was $3.2 million. However, as with all inventory,
the Company regularly compares forecasted demand for its one Gbps
products against inventory on hand and open purchase commitments and
accordingly, the Company may have to record reductions to the
carrying value of excess and obsolete inventory if forecasted demand
decreases. As of June 29, 2003, the Company had unreserved one Gbps
inventory on hand of approximately $0.9 million.
|
| |  | The Company was previously required to enter into end-of-life
purchase agreements for two key inventory components as the
sole-source manufacturers of these components announced their
discontinued manufacturing of the components. As of June 29, 2003,
the Companys remaining purchase obligation for the two components
was $13.8 million. In relation to the excess and obsolete inventory
charge associated with older generation one Gbps products, the
Company has accrued $1.4 million, which represented the Companys
commitment to purchase a key component in excess of forecasted demand
and as a result was reserved.

| |  | During the third quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company entered into an
agreement to relocate its headquarters locally in Costa Mesa,
California. The Company will finance the build to suit construction
phase of the new facility with its own capital, before beginning a
10-year lease term with an option to buy the land and buildings
during the first six months of the lease term. If the Company does
not exercise its option to purchase the facility, the landlord will
obtain permanent financing and reimburse the Company for the
construction costs. Construction on the Companys new corporate
headquarters is progressing. If purchased, the Company believes the
total cost, including the land, building and other related capital
expenditures, would be approximately $47.0 million. The Companys
total gross undiscounted financial commitment for the 10-year lease
term would be approximately $45.9 million. At June 29, 2003, the
Company had restricted cash of $9.3 million held in escrow associated
with the construction of the headquarters. In addition, the Company
has a $1.0 million letter of credit in place in lieu of a rental
deposit on one of its other facilities

| |  | During the three months ended September 29, 2002, the Companys Board
of Directors expanded the Companys stock repurchase program to
include the repurchase of the Companys convertible subordinated
notes as well as shares of the Companys stock. The combined program
authorizes the repurchase of up to an additional $125.0 million to be
spent on the repurchase of convertible subordinated notes. In August
2002, the Company bought back at a discount to face value
approximately $136.5 million in face value of its convertible
subordinated notes, spending $104.2 million. The repurchased notes
were cancelled, leaving convertible subordinated notes outstanding
with a face value of $208.5 million, which if converted, would result
in the issuance of approximately 3.9 million shares. The resulting
net pre-tax gain of $28.7 million from the repurchase of the
convertible subordinated notes was recorded for the three months
ended September 29, 2002. During the three months ended March 30,
2003, the Companys Board of Directors further expanded the
repurchase of convertible subordinated notes up to a total purchase
price of $190.0 million, leaving $85.8 million of convertible
subordinated notes and three million shares authorized for repurchase
at June 29, 2003 (see note 17).

offers stock options to both domestic and international employees,
the exercise price of options granted will not be less than the fair
market value at the date of grant. The total number of shares of
common stock authorized for issuance under the Plan is 33.7 million,
and 4.0 million shares were available for grant at June 29, 2003.
Unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors or a committee of
the Board administering the Plan, each option granted under the Plan
becomes exercisable at the rate of 25 percent one year after the date
of grant with an additional 6.25 percent becoming exercisable each
three-month interval thereafter.

| |  | On October 9, 1997, the Companys Board of Directors adopted the
Emulex Corporation 1997 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors
(the Director Plan), which, as amended, allows for a maximum of 1.7
million shares of common stock, and 0.4 million shares were available
for grant at June 29, 2003. The Director Plan currently provides
that an option to purchase 30 thousand shares of common stock of the
Company will be granted to each non-employee director of the Company
upon the first date that such director becomes eligible to
participate. These options shall be exercisable as to one-third of
the shares on each anniversary of the grant if the director is still
a director of the Company. In addition, on each yearly anniversary
of the date of the initial grant, each eligible director shall
automatically be granted an additional option to purchase 10 thousand
shares of common stock. These options shall be exercisable as to
one-half of the shares on the six month anniversary, one quarter on
the nine month anniversary and one quarter on the year anniversary of
the grant date. Options granted under the Director Plan are
non-qualified stock options. The exercise price per option granted
will not be less than the fair market value at the date of grant. No
option granted under the Director Plan shall be exercisable after the
expiration of the earlier of (i) ten years following the date the
option is granted or (ii) one year following the date the optionee
ceases to be a director of the Company for any reason. Options to
purchase 0.1 million, 0.1 million and 0.3 million shares were granted
under the Director Plan in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

| |  | In 2001, the Companys Board of Directors adopted the Employee Stock
Purchase Plan (the Purchase Plan). Under the Purchase Plan,
employees of the Company who elect to participate are granted options
to purchase common stock at a 15 percent discount from the lower of
the market value of the common stock at the beginning
or the end of each six month offering period. The Purchase Plan
permits an enrolled employee to make contributions to purchase shares
of common stock by having withheld from their salary an amount up to
10 percent of their compensation. The Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors administers the Purchase Plan. The Company has
reserved a total of 1.0 million shares of common stock for issuance

Stock Purchase Rights (Rights) that attach to and transfer with
each share of common stock. When the Rights become exercisable, each
Right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one unit
consisting of 1/100 of a share of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock for $300 per unit, subject to adjustment. The Rights
become exercisable if (i) a
person or group (Acquiring Person) has acquired, or obtained the
right to acquire, 20 percent or more of the outstanding shares

Acquiring Person engages in one or more self-dealing transactions
with the Company or (iv) an event occurs which results in an

common stock then outstanding. The Company is entitled to redeem the
Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.01 per Right,
subject to adjustment.

| |  | Based on the Companys historical and anticipated future pre-tax
results of operations, management believes it is more likely than not
that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax
assets existing as of June 29, 2003. Management believes the existing
net deductible temporary differences will reverse during periods in
which the Company generates net taxable income; however, there can be
no assurance that the Company will generate any earnings or any
specific level of continuing earnings in future years. Certain tax
planning or other strategies could be implemented, if necessary, to
supplement earnings from operations to fully realize recorded tax
benefits. The change in the valuation allowance during 2002 was a
decrease of $61.2 million.

| |  | In 2003, pretax book income reflects the amortization of intangibles,
other than goodwill, related to the acquisition of Giganet, Inc.
during 2001. In 2002, pretax book income reflects amortization of
goodwill and other intangibles related to the acquisition of Giganet,
Inc. during 2001.

| |  | At June 29, 2003, the Company had federal and state net operating
loss carryforwards of $14.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively,
which are available to offset future federal and state taxable
income. If unused, the federal net operating loss carryforwards will
expire during the years 2011 through 2021, and the state net
operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2009. Included
in these amounts are a Giganet, Inc. federal net operating loss
carryforward of $14.2 million, which was incurred prior to the
acquisition by the Company. The utilization of this net operating
loss carryforward is limited due to restrictions imposed under
federal law due to a change in ownership.
|
| |  | At June 29, 2003, the Company had federal and state research and
experimentation credit carryforwards of $11.7 million and $4.0
million, which are available to reduce federal and state income
taxes. If unused, the federal carryforwards expire during the years
2009 through 2023, and the state carryforwards are available
indefinitely. For federal purposes, the Company has alternative
minimum tax credit carryforwards of approximately $4.3 million, which
are available for carryforward indefinitely, and $90 thousand of
foreign tax credit carryforwards available through 2008. For state
purposes, the Company has $0.2 million of other credits available
through 2010.

Note 15 Net Income (Loss) per Share



| |  | Basic net income (loss) per share and diluted net loss per share are
computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income
per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period increased to
include, if dilutive, the number of additional common shares that
would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares
from stock option plans and convertible debt had been issued. The
dilutive effect of outstanding stock options is reflected in diluted
net income per share by application of the treasury stock method.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted
net income (loss) per share:

| |  | As the Company recorded a net loss in 2002 and 2001, all outstanding
stock options at June 30, 2002, and July 1, 2001, were excluded from
the calculation of diluted net loss per share for those periods then
ended because the effect would have been antidilutive. Also, as the
Company recorded a net loss in 2002, the common stock equivalents
associated with the convertible subordinated notes at June 30, 2002,
were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss for the period
then ended because the effect would have been antidilutive.
Additionally, the antidilutive options at June 29, 2003, were not
included in the computation of diluted earnings
per share for the year then ended because the options exercise
prices were greater than the average market price of the common
shares during the period.

Note 17 Subsequent Event



| |  | Subsequent to the year ended June 29, 2003, the Companys Board of Directors expanded the Companys stock repurchase program to include the repurchase of all
of the Companys convertible subordinated notes and extend the entire program to June 2005. The combined program authorizes the repurchase of up to 4.0
million shares of common stock and the repurchase of all of the convertible subordinated notes. Also subsequent to the year ended June 29, 2003, and through
August 27, 2003, the Company bought back approximately $93.9 million of its convertible subordinated notes at a discount to face value, spending approximately
$87.3 million. The repurchased notes were cancelled, leaving convertible subordinated notes outstanding with a face value of approximately $114.7 million
that, if converted, would result in the issuance of approximately 2.1 million shares. The resulting net pre-tax gain of approximately $4.7 million from the
repurchase of the convertible subordinated notes will be reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2004.
