NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS







Note 1Basis of Presentation





We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In our opinion, all normally recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. In addition, certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances in order to conform to the current
year presentation.





The financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2002. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2001 was derived from
our audited financial statements.





The results of our operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002
are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other future period, including the full fiscal year.





Note
2Summary of Selected Accounting Policies





Revenue recognition





Our customers include distributors, retailers, original equipment manufacturers and end users. Certain customers have return and price
protection rights. We recognize revenue where there is a contract or purchase order, upon shipment or delivery depending on the terms of sale, and where collectibility of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. We provide for estimated
future returns and price protection based on historical experience at the time revenue is recognized. At the time of sale, we also provide for the estimated costs of meeting product warranty obligations. For certain customers where we are unable to
reasonably estimate the level of returns or where the customers do not take title to the product on delivery, revenues and the costs of revenues are deferred until these customers have sold the product to their customers. We recognize royalty and
license revenues ratably over the term of the agreement when the amounts are fixed and future obligations are insignificant. When amounts are based on volume of products sold that incorporate our technology, revenue is recognized when earned.





Deferred taxes





As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements we are required to estimate our income taxes, which involves estimating our actual current tax exposure together with assessing
temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as deferred revenue, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences have resulted in net deferred tax assets. Significant management judgment is required to assess the
likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and we currently provide a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. In the event we were to determine it is more likely than not that we are able
to realize our deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made.





Recent accounting developments





In November 2001, the
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on EITF No. 01-09, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendors Products. EITF No. 01-09 addresses the accounting for
consideration given by a vendor to a customer and is a codification of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)




EITF No. 00-14, Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives, EITF No. 00-22, Accounting for Points and Certain Other Time-Based or Volume-Based Sales Incentive Offers
and Offers for Free Products or Services to be Delivered in the Future, and EITF No. 00-25, Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the Vendors Products. Our gross margins for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2002 reflect the implementation of EITF 01-09 and EITF 00-25. The effect of these changes was a reduction of approximately 4 percentage points in our product gross margins in the second quarter of 2002, from 18% to 14%.
The effect of these changes was a reduction of approximately 3 percentage points in our product gross margins for the six months ended 2002, from 18% to 15%. There was no impact on our income before income taxes or our net income (loss) for the
periods. We determined that it was impracticable to gather the data required to restate the impact of these consensuses on the second quarter and first six months of 2001, had they been in place at that time.





We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142),
on January 1, 2002. The application of this pronouncement modified the accounting for goodwill and intangibles, which included the cessation of amortizing capitalized goodwill and certain intangible assets.





The following table reflects the unaudited loss and net loss per share information reported for the three month and six month periods
ended June 30, 2001 prior to the adoption of FAS 142:

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146). SFAS 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs that are associated with
exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently accounted for under EITF No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs
Incurred in a Restructuring). The scope of SFAS 146 also includes costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease and termination benefits that employees who are involuntarily terminated receive under the terms of a
one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred-compensation contract. SFAS 146 will be effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 and early application is
encouraged. The provisions of EITF No. 94-3 shall continue to apply for an exit activity initiated under an exit plan that met the criteria of EITF No. 94-3 prior to the adoption of SFAS 146. The effect on adoption of SFAS 146 will change, on a
prospective basis, the timing of when restructuring charges are recorded from a commitment date approach to when the liability is incurred.

Note 4Deferred Revenue and Income Taxes





In March 2002, we entered into a new licensing relationship with Samsung Electronics Corp. that renewed and extended the prior license.
Under this new agreement, Samsung prepaid the remaining fixed royalties owed under the prior agreement and paid additional licensing fees for expanded rights to license our proprietary technology. The entire prepayment of licensing fees was subject
to foreign income tax that was withheld at the time of the prepayment. This tax, in the amount of $5.2 million, is recoverable only as credit against federal income taxes. Due to the uncertainty of the recoverability, the entire amount has been
reflected as income tax expense in the first quarter of 2002. Accordingly, as these deferred license fees are being amortized into revenues over the next two years, there will be no related foreign income tax expense. License and royalty fees
recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2002, includes $4.0 million for which the related foreign income tax expense of approximately $0.7 million for foreign taxes withheld was recognized in the first quarter of 2002. License and royalty fees
recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2002 include $4.1 million for which the related foreign income tax expense of $0.7 million for foreign taxes withheld was recognized in 2001. Income tax expense of $1.6 million in the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2001 represents foreign tax withholdings related to license and royalty fees received during those periods. Of the $1.6 million, approximately $1.0 million related to license and royalty revenues which was deferred at June 30,
2001.

and other receivables from stockholders by tendering to us an aggregate of 825,116 shares of our common stock. The stock was valued at the fair market value on the date each individual tendered his shares, which ranged from $3.00 to $3.11 per share.
The weighted average value was $3.08 per share.

Note 7Restructuring





At the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2001, we decided to implement a 27% reduction in our work force and to discontinue our Printroom.com operations. We recognized a
$2.1 million restructuring charge related to this restructuring. The restructuring was effected in the third quarter of fiscal 2001 in order to achieve substantial reductions in overhead costs and is substantially complete. The disposition of
Printroom.com was implemented through a sale of the Printroom.com assets to a company owned by the management of Printroom.com. We recorded a note receivable of $0.1 million in connection with the transaction and have fully reserved it.





A summary of the restructuring costs is outlined as follows (in thousands):

Final expenditures relating to workforce reductions and termination
agreements will be paid in the last half of 2002. We expect to pay amounts related to excess facilities and related costs over the terms of the related leases through 2004. Accrued restructuring costs are included in the accrued liabilities in the
balance sheet.





Note 8Comprehensive Income (Loss)





Other comprehensive loss for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 was $33,000 and $39,000, respectively. Other comprehensive income for the three month
period ended June 30, 2001 was $6,000 and other comprehensive loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2001 was $2,000. These amounts were attributable to the effects of foreign currency translation. There was no other comprehensive income or
loss during these periods.





Note 9Notes Payable





In September 2001, we established an asset based credit facility with Greater Bay Bank. Under this facility, as amended, we can draw up to $15.0 million to the extent that
we have eligible receivables. At June 30, 2002, the balance outstanding under this facility was $7.1 million. The facility bears interest at an annual rate of prime plus 4.5% of the gross amount financed, has a term of one year, and is renewable
from year to year thereafter. Either party can terminate the facility, at any time, upon 30 days notice.





During
the second quarter of 2002, we commenced selling certain receivables denominated in Japanese yen. The receivables are sold based upon a 1.375% discounted annual rate and are guaranteed by us only in the case of bankruptcy by the creditor. Due to the
guarantee, we have included the $2.7 million balance outstanding at June 30, 2002 in accounts receivable and in notes payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2002.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included
elsewhere in this report. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these
forward-looking statements due to factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under Risks That Could Affect Future Results and elsewhere in this report. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof.





Overview





We
design, develop and market high-performance flash memory cards which we market as digital film as well as connectivity products for the digital photography market and for other markets utilizing portable digital storage media, including floppy disk
replacement. Our digital film allows customers to capture digital images and download them quickly to a personal computer for editing, distributing and printing. We also license our proprietary controller technology and sell our controllers to other
manufacturers of flash storage media to address markets adjacent to digital photography.





Our broad line of
high-performance digital film offers removable and reusable storage devices that capture images from a digital camera. Digital film and storage media sales comprised 81.2% of our gross revenues for the first six months of 2002. Our digital film is
compatible with substantially all digital cameras, including those manufactured by Agfa, Canon, Casio, Epson, Fuji, Hewlett-Packard, Kodak, Konica, Minolta, Nikon, Olympus, Polaroid, Ricoh, Sony and Yashica. We offer digital film in a variety of
speeds and capacities in the three primary media formats currently used by digital cameras: CompactFlash, SmartMedia and Memory Stick. We also offer digital film in the MultiMedia Card and Secure Digital Card formats, which are flash memory products
used in digital cameras, as well as in other electronic applications. Our CompactFlash digital film combines flash memory from leading suppliers with our patented technology to address the needs of professional, commercial and consumer
photographers.





Our digital film reader/writers are products that facilitate the transfer of digital images to
personal computers and other devices without a direct connection to the digital camera. Our JumpShot cable connects the universal serial bus, or USB port, to our USB-enabled CompactFlash digital film to quickly and easily transfer images. In
addition, we recently introduced JumpDrive  , a new high-speed portable USB flash drive for consumers
that serves a variety of uses including floppy disk replacement.





In addition, our flash memory controller
technology can be applied to a variety of consumer electronic applications such as digital music players, laptop computers, personal digital assistants, telecommunication and network devices and digital video recorders. In order to extend our
technology into these markets we have selectively licensed our products and technology to third parties. For example, during 2001, we entered into supply and/or license agreements with Smart Modular and more recently with InterWorks, a business unit
of the Sanmina-SCI Modular Solutions Division. We agreed to supply ATA flash controllers for InterWorks flash-based storage products. InterWorks and Sanmina-SCI will integrate our high-performance controller into their business sectors such as
data communications, telecommunications, industrial, computing and embedded markets. Also, in 2000, we entered into an agreement with Sony to combine our proprietary controller technology with their Memory Stick media format and include the Memory
Stick as one of our digital film products. The Memory Stick is used in a wide variety of consumer electronic products, including camcorders, personal computers, portable music players, cameras and video recorders.





In March 2002, we terminated our prior license agreement with Samsung and executed a new license agreement that renewed and extended the
prior license. Under this new agreement, Samsung prepaid fixed royalties due under the prior license agreement at a 5% discount rate. Samsung also paid additional licensing fees




12

for expanded rights to license our technology. We also have an agreement with Samsung under which it has become our primary supplier of flash memory.





Revenues.    We generate revenues primarily from the sale of digital film and connectivity products to
end-users through mass market, photo and original equipment manufacturer channels. In 2000, we began generating revenues from the licensing of our technology to Sony. In 2001, we began generating licensing revenues under license agreements with
Samsung and Olympus. During the second quarter of 2002 we increased our presence in the mass market channel significantly by adding approximately 10,000 retail storefronts worldwide. We also generate revenues from the sales of our controllers to
flash storage manufacturers.





We sell products to distributors, retailers, original equipment manufacturers and
end users. Certain customers have return rights. We generally recognize product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. At
the time revenue is recorded, we record estimated reductions to product revenue based upon our historical experience, customer price protection programs and incentive offerings, including special pricing agreements, price protection, promotions and
other volume-based incentives. In order to make such estimates we analyze historical returns, current economic conditions, customer demand and any relevant specific customer information. For certain customers where we are unable to reasonably
estimate the level of returns or where the customers do not take title to the product on delivery, revenues and the costs of revenues are deferred until these customers have sold the product to their customers. Should our ability to estimate, based
on these various factors, change, this could have a significant impact on our revenue recognition, potentially reducing revenue in the period of such change.





We have entered into agreements to sell our products to certain customers on a consignment basis. As of June 30, 2002, we had not implemented any consignment arrangements with any of our customers.
However, we anticipate that in the third quarter we will begin implementing consignment arrangements with certain customers. We expect that as that a result of these arrangements, we will carry higher levels of inventory which will most likely
result in additional operational costs including, but not limited to, insurance, inventory shrinkage, audit and accounting fees and property taxes.





We recognize royalty and license revenues ratably over the term of the agreement when the amounts are fixed and future obligations are insignificant. When amounts are based on the volume of products
sold that incorporate our technology, revenue is recognized when earned.





A majority of our sales have been to a
limited number of customers. Our top 10 customers accounted for 69.6% of our gross revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 63.8% of our gross revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2001. We expect that sales to a limited number of
customers will continue to account for a substantial portion of our revenues for at least the next several years.





Domestic product sales account for the majority of our total net revenues. Product revenues in the United States represented 68.8% of our total net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 65.1% of our total net revenues
for the six months ended June 30, 2001.





Cost of Revenues.    Our cost of revenues
consists primarily of materials costs, with flash memory accounting for a majority of those costs. We maintain relationships with key suppliers, which we believe will be able to provide us with sufficient quantities of flash memory for at least the
next 12 months. We have an agreement with Samsung Electronics under which it has become our primary supplier of flash memory and has guaranteed that we will have access to a portion of its available production capacity. The price we have
historically paid for flash memory has fluctuated considerably. For example, the price of flash memory decreased significantly in 2001 and began to stabilize in the first six months of 2002. We expect that there may be additional price declines
during the remainder of 2002 as additional flash memory capacity becomes available. In addition, cost of revenues includes expenses related to materials procurement, inventory management, adjustments and manufacturing. As a result of our agreement
with SanDisk, in the second quarter of 2001, we




13

##### Table of Contents

began incurring royalty expenses related to domestic sales of our CompactFlash digital film that utilizes our previous generation controller technology. We do not owe royalties on end user sales
made outside of the U.S. or on digital film that includes our latest generation controller technology.





Research and Development.    Our research and development expenses include salaries and related expenses for research and development personnel, fees for outside consultants, patent costs and prototype
development and materials costs. Research and development activities are primarily focused on developing the technology for new products and product enhancements as well as supporting existing products. We believe that continued investment in
research and development is important to attain our strategic objectives. In the third quarter of 2002, we expect research and development expenses to moderately increase compared with our research and development expenses in the second quarter of
2002.





Sales and Marketing.    Our sales and marketing expenses include salaries and
related expenses for sales and marketing personnel, advertising, customer service, technical support, distribution and travel and trade show expenses. In the third quarter of 2002, we expect sales and marketing expenses to be consistent with the
second quarter of 2002 except for certain selling and marketing costs, such as sales commissions that generally fluctuate with the level of sales.





General and Administrative.    Our general and administrative expenses include salaries and related expenses for executive, administrative and operational personnel, fees for
professional services and other corporate expenses. In the third quarter of 2002, we expect general and administrative expenses to increase as a result of increased litigation expenses that we expect to incur in our continuing efforts to protect our
intellectual property. If litigation were filed against us, we expect that our general and administrative expenses would increase significantly beyond our current expectations.





Restructuring.    At the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2001, we decided to implement an approximately 27% reduction in our work force and
to discontinue our Printroom.com operations. These actions were taken to allow us to focus on our core competitive strengths and position us for future revenue growth and near-term profitability. The restructuring was effected in the third quarter
of 2001 and is substantially complete.





Stock-based Compensation.    Stock-based
compensation related to options granted to employees represents the aggregate difference, at the date of grant, between the deemed fair market value of the stock underlying options and the exercise prices of these options. Stock-based compensation
related to options granted to consultants is revalued as it vests using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Stock-based compensation is amortized over the vesting period of the underlying options based on an accelerated vesting method.





Critical Accounting Policies And Estimates





Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to price protection, customer programs and incentives, product returns, bad debts, inventories,
investments, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, restructuring, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions
or conditions.





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

Revenue Recognition





Product revenues





We derive our revenues primarily from product revenues, which include flash memory products, controllers and connectivity products. As discussed below, significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in
connection with the revenue recognized in any accounting period.





We sell products to distributors, retailers,
original equipment manufacturers and end users. Certain customers have return rights. We generally recognize product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable and
collectibility is reasonably assured. At the time revenue is recorded, we record estimated reductions to product revenue based upon our historical experience, customer price protection programs and incentive offerings, including special pricing
agreements, price protection, promotions and other volume-based incentives. In order to make such estimates we analyze historical returns, current economic conditions, customer demand and any relevant specific customer information. For certain
customers where we are unable to reasonably estimate the level of returns or where the customers do not take title to the product on delivery, revenues and the costs of revenues are deferred until these customers have sold the product to their
customers. Should our ability to estimate, based on these various factors, change, this could have a significant impact on our revenue recognition, potentially reducing revenue in the period of such change.





License and royalty revenues





We recognize license and royalty revenues ratably over the term of the agreement when the amounts are fixed and future obligations are insignificant. When amounts are based on the volume of products
sold that incorporate our technology, revenue is recognized when earned.





Valuation allowances and accrued liabilities





Inventory write-downs





We write-down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based
upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than we anticipate, for example, if product sales and prices decline more substantially than projected by management, additional inventory
write-downs may be required.





Allowance for doubtful accounts





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





Deferred tax valuation allowance





As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements we are required to estimate our income taxes, which involves estimating our actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting
from differing treatment of items, such as deferred revenue, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences have resulted in net deferred tax assets. Significant management judgment is required to assess the likelihood that our deferred tax
assets will be recovered from future taxable income and we currently provide a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. In the event we were to determine it is more likely than not that we are able to realize our deferred tax assets
in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made.

##### Table of Contents




Other valuation allowances and accrued liabilities





We also maintain accruals and allowances for all cooperative marketing and other programs. If market conditions were to change
adversely, we may take actions to increase our customer incentive offerings, which could result in increased accruals and allowances for these programs. Historically, warranty expenses have not been material. In the unlikely event that a problem is
identified that would result in the need to replace product on a large scale, such an event may have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial position.





Our History of Losses





The three months ended June 30, 2002
was the first profitable quarter in our history. However, we have incurred significant losses to date. As of June 30, 2002, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $139.5 million. We intend to continue to expend significant financial and
management resources on developing additional products and services, improving our technologies, protecting our intellectual property and meeting increased working capital needs. As a result, we may not be able to sustain profitability and we expect
to incur negative operating cash flows during the remainder of 2002. In view of the rapidly changing nature of our market and our limited operating history, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our revenues and other operating results are
not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indications of future performance. Our historic revenue growth rates are not necessarily indicative of our future growth.

Revenues





Total net revenues for the second quarter of 2002 increased approximately $16.6 million, or 95.8%, to $34.0 million from $17.3 million for the first quarter of 2001. Total net revenues for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 increased approximately $29.2 million, or 87.0%, to $62.8 million from $33.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001.





Product revenues comprised 86.4% and 78.3% of total revenues for the second quarters of 2002 and 2001, respectively. Product revenues for the second quarter of 2002 increased approximately $15.8
million, or 116.1%, to $29.3 million from $13.6 million in the second quarter of 2001. Product revenues comprised 86.4% and 88.1% of total net revenues for the first six months of 2002 and 2001, respectively. Product revenues for the first six
months of 2002 increased approximately $24.7 million, or 83.6%, to $54.2 million from $29.6 million for the first six months of 2001. The increase in product revenues for the comparative three and six month periods was primarily the result of
significantly increased demand in the domestic retail channel that was partially offset by declining average selling prices. During the second quarter of 2002, we continued to see moderation in the rate of decline of average selling prices compared
to the declines experienced during 2001. In the second quarter of 2002, we derived 74.1%, 13.9% and 11.6% of our product revenues from sales to customers in the United States, Europe and Japan, respectively. In the second quarter of 2001, we derived
65.2%, 20.9% and 12.3% of our product revenues from sales to customers in the United States, Europe and Japan, respectively. Two customers accounted for 14.0% and 12.5% of our gross product revenues in the second quarter of 2002. Two customers
accounted for 20.6% and 11.1% of our gross product revenues in the second quarter of 2001. In the first six months of 2002, we derived product revenues of 79.6%, 11.6% and 8.3% from customers in the United States, Europe and Japan, respectively. In
the first six months of 2001, we derived product revenues of 74.3%, 18.5% and 6.0% from customers in the United States, Europe and Japan, respectively. Two customers accounted for 17.5% and 15.4% of our gross product revenues in the first six months
of 2002. Two customers accounted for 13.4% and 10.0% of our gross product revenues in the first six months of 2001.





License and royalty revenues comprised 13.6% and 21.7% of our total net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. License and royalty revenues for the second quarter of 2002 increased $0.8 million, or
22.7%, to $4.6 million from $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2001. The increase in license and royalty revenues was primarily the result of the license and royalty agreements that we entered into during the second half of 2001 and the first
quarter of 2002. License and royalty revenues comprised 13.6% and 11.9% of total net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. License and royalty revenues for the first six months of 2002 increased $4.5 million, or
112.7%, to $8.5 million from $4.0 million in the first six months of 2001. The increase in license and royalty revenues was primarily the result of the license and royalty agreements that we entered into during the second half of 2001 and the first
quarter of 2002.





Cost of product revenues





Cost of product revenues increased 40.4% to $25.2 million for the second quarter of 2002 from $17.9 million for the second quarter of 2001. Cost of product revenues increased 14.3% to $45.9
million for the first six months of 2002 from $40.1 million for the first six months of 2001. The increase in cost of product revenues for each of these periods was primarily a reflection of the increase in both the number of units and the average
capacity of products manufactured and sold. These factors were partially offset by the significant decrease in the cost of flash memory compared to the cost in the comparable periods of 2001, and the benefits of improved inventory control and
turnover compared to the comparable periods of 2001.





Gross margin





Gross margins for product revenues in the second quarter of 2002 increased to 14.1%, as compared to (32.2)% in the second quarter of 2001. Gross margins for product
revenues in the first six months of 2002 increased to 15.4%, as compared to (35.8)% in the first six months of 2001. These increases were primarily the result of decreases in product costs, improved inventory control and turnover, moderation in the
rate of decline of

##### Table of Contents

average selling prices and reductions in price protection charges. Implementation of EITF 00-25 and EITF 01-09 resulted in classification of certain revenue reductions that negatively impacted
second quarter 2002 product margins by approximately 4 percentage points and negatively impacted product margins in the first six months of 2002 by approximately 3 percentage points.





Operating expenses





Research and
Development.    For the second quarter of 2002, research and development expenses decreased to $1.2 million, or 3.6% of net revenues, from $1.6 million, or 9.3% of net revenues, for the second quarter of 2001. For the first
six months of 2002, research and development expenses decreased to $2.5 million, or 3.9% of net revenues, from $3.2 million, or 9.6% of net revenues, for the first six months of 2001. The decrease in research and development expenses in these
periods was primarily due to the disposition of Printroom.com. The increase in revenues accounted for approximately 60% of the reduction in research and development expenses as a percentage of net revenues and the decrease in actual expenditures
accounted for the remainder of the reduction.





Sales and Marketing.    Sales and
marketing expenses for the second quarter of 2002 decreased to $3.8 million, or 11.0% of total net revenues, as compared to $5.3 million, or 30.7% of total net revenues, for the second quarter of 2001. Sales and marketing expenses for the first
six months of 2002 decreased to $7.4 million, or 11.9% of net revenues, as compared to $12.0 million, or 35.7% of net revenues, for the first six months of 2001. These decreases in sales and marketing expenses were primarily due to reductions in
advertising related costs and reductions in employee compensation costs related to the restructuring we implemented in the second quarter of 2001, which was partially offset by increases in expenses which vary with sales, such as sales commissions.
The decrease in actual expenditures accounted for approximately 46% of the reduction in sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total net revenues for the second quarter of 2002 as compared to the second quarter of 2001 and the increase in
revenues accounted for the remainder of the reduction. The decrease in actual expenditures accounted for approximately 57% of the reduction in sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total net revenues for the first six months of 2002 as
compared to the first six months of 2001 and the increase in revenues accounted for the remainder of the reduction.





General and Administrative.    General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2002 decreased to $2.3 million, or 6.9% of total net revenues, as compared to $3.9 million, or 22.3% of total net
revenues, for the second quarter of 2001. General and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2002 decreased to $4.4 million, or 7.0% of total net revenues, as compared to $7.7 million, or 22.9% of total net revenues for the first six
months of 2001. The decrease in general and administrative costs in these periods was primarily due to lower legal fees, the disposition of Printroom.com and lower employee compensation related costs due to the restructuring. The decrease in actual
expenditures accounted for approximately 57% of the reduction in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total net revenues for the second quarter of 2002 as compared to the second quarter of 2001 and the increase in revenues
accounted for the remainder of the reduction. The decrease in actual expenditures accounted for approximately 62% of the reduction in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total net revenues for the first six months of 2002 as
compared to the first six months of 2001 and the increase in revenues accounted for the remainder of the reduction. As we incur increased litigation expenses as part of our continuing efforts to protect our intellectual property, we expect that
general and administrative expenses will increase. If litigation were filed against us, we expect that our general and administrative expenses would increase significantly beyond our current expectations.





Goodwill impairment.    During the first six months of 2001, a charge of $2.9 million was recognized as an
impairment charge against Printroom.com goodwill. There were no such charges during the first six months of 2002.





Restructuring.    At the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2001, we decided to implement an approximately 27% reduction in our work force and to discontinue our Printroom.com operations. These actions
were taken to allow us to focus on our core competitive strengths and position us for future revenue growth and near-term profitability. In connection with these decisions, we recognized a $2.1 million restructuring charge in the second

##### Table of Contents

quarter of fiscal 2001 for estimated severance costs related to organizational changes and the planned reduction in work force, to reduce property and equipment to its estimated realizable value
and to provide for consolidation of excess facilities and other charges related to the discontinuance of our operation of Printroom.com. At June 30, 2002, the balance of the restructuring reserve was approximately $0.5 million, which represents
facilities costs and payments due to former employees.





Stock-based
compensation.    Stock-based compensation expense was substantially unchanged at $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2002 and 2001. Stock-based compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2002 decreased to $0.9
million, as compared to $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease resulted from the declining amortization rate under FIN No. 28, as well as from the reduction of employees as a result of the restructuring effected in 2001.





Other Income and Expense





Interest and other expense for the second quarter of 2002 decreased to $0.2 million as compared to $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2001. Interest and other expense for the second quarter of
2002 consisted primarily of interest on short-term borrowings. Interest and other expense for the second quarter of 2001 included imputed interest of $1.6 million, associated primarily with the amortization of the value of the warrants issued and
fees paid in connection with The Chase Manhattan Bank and Access Technology Partners credit facilities, the write-off of the remaining balances related to fees on the Chase loan that was repaid and the write-off of the warrants issued to Chase.
Interest and other expense for the first six months of 2002 decreased to $0.5 million as compared to $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2001. Interest and other expense for the first six months of 2002 consisted primarily of interest on
short-term borrowings. The imputed interest for the first six months of 2001 was $2.7 million and includes a $0.7 million forbearance charge.





Interest and other income for the second quarter of 2002 decreased to $0.1 million as compared to $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2001. For the first six months of 2002, interest and other
income decreased to $0.2 million as compared to $0.7 million in the first six months of 2001. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest rates in 2002.





Foreign exchange gain for the second quarter of 2002 was $0.4 million, compared to a loss of $0.2 million, for the second quarter of 2001. Foreign exchange gain for the six months ended June 30, 2002
was $0.2 million, compared to a loss of $0.4 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2001. These amounts were primarily attributable to European and Japanese sales activities and fluctuations in the British pound and the Japanese yen against the
US dollar, in each of the periods.





Income Taxes





Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2002 was insignificant. Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2001 was $1.6 million, or 11.8% of total net revenues.
Income tax expense in the second quarter of 2001 represents foreign taxes withheld on payments from foreign licensees. Income tax expense for the first six months of 2002 was $5.3 million, or 8.4% of total net revenues, of which $5.2 million
represents foreign taxes withheld from a license prepayment received from Samsung. Withholding taxes are recoverable only as credit against federal income taxes. Due to the uncertainty of the recoverability, the withholding taxes have been reflected
as income tax expense. There will be no future foreign income tax expense associated with these license fees.





Liquidity and
Capital Resources





Net cash provided by operating activities was $12.9 million for the six months ended June
30, 2002 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. For the first six months of 2002, our net loss of $3.6 million, when adjusted for non-cash charges of approximately
$1.5 million, resulted in operating cash usage of $2.1 million before changes in operating assets and liabilities. During the first six months of 2002, our cash position from operations was favorably impacted by the receipt of

the Samsung license payment which, along with the increase in deferred product revenues, resulted in the net increase in deferred revenue of $26.2 million and by an increase of $4.5 million in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities. This favorable impact was offset by increases in accounts receivable of $11.8 million and increases in inventory and other assets of $3.8 million. The $11.8 million increase in accounts receivable is
primarily due to the increases in total net revenues and deferred product revenue. In the first six months of 2001, our net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to our net loss, adjusted for non-cash items, decreases in
inventory, other assets, and deferred revenue and increases in payables.





Net cash used in investing activities
was $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, which was the result of purchases of property and equipment. Net cash provided by investing activities was $19.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, which was primarily proceeds
from the sale of short-term investments.





Net cash provided by financing activities was $8.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2002, which was primarily the result of debt proceeds of $20.6 million offset by debt repayments of $12.7 million and net proceeds from equity transactions of $0.6 million. Net cash used in financing activities was $6.2 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2001, which was primarily the result of $6.4 million in repayment of notes offset by $0.2 million in net proceeds from equity transactions.





In September 2001, we established an asset based credit facility with Greater Bay Bank. Under this facility, as amended, we can draw up to $15.0 million to the extent that
we have eligible receivables. At June 30, 2002, the balance outstanding under this facility was $7.1 million. The facility bears interest at prime plus 4.5% per year of the gross amount financed, has a term of one year, and is renewable from year to
year thereafter. Either party can terminate the facility, at any time, upon 30 days notice.





From our inception
until the completion of our initial public offering in August 2000, we financed our operations primarily through private sales of our common stock and preferred stock and, to a lesser degree, through debt financings. At June 30, 2002, we had
approximately $31.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash of $2.3 million. We currently anticipate that this amount, together with funds available under our credit facility with Greater Bay Bank, will be sufficient to meet
our anticipated needs for working capital and capital expenditures through the next 12 months at our current operating levels. However, it is likely that we will need to raise additional funds prior to the expiration of this period if, for example,
our growth meets or exceeds our current expectations or if we do not realize our expectation of continued operating income and incur operating losses that deplete our working capital or if Greater Bay Bank terminates our credit facility, which it
may do for any reason. If we were required to raise additional funds, it could be difficult to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, if at all. We may try to obtain additional financing by issuing shares of common stock, preferred stock,
debt securities, or warrants pursuant to our effective shelf registration statement or otherwise, which could dilute our existing stockholders. If we cannot raise needed funds on acceptable terms, or at all, we may not be able to maintain our
product development schedule, respond to competitive pressures or grow our business.

Recent accounting developments





In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS
146). SFAS 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs that are associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently accounted for under EITF
No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). The scope of SFAS 146 also includes costs related to terminating a
contract that is not a capital lease and termination benefits that employees who are involuntarily terminated receive under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred-compensation
contract. SFAS 146 will be effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 and early application is encouraged. The provisions of EITF No. 94-3 shall continue to apply for an exit activity initiated under an exit
plan that met the criteria of EITF No. 94-3 prior to the adoption of SFAS 146. The effect on adoption of SFAS 146 will change on a prospective basis the timing of when restructuring charges are recorded from a commitment date approach to when the
liability is incurred.





RISKS THAT COULD AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS





The factors discussed below are cautionary statements that identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.





Risks Related to Our Business





Our quarterly operating results and gross margins declined significantly in the first quarter of 2001, may
fluctuate significantly in the future and are difficult to predict. If our future results are below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of our common stock could decline significantly.





Our quarterly operating results and gross margins declined significantly in the first quarter of 2001, and while they have subsequently
improved, they are likely to vary significantly in the future based on a number of factors related to our industry and the markets for our products. We will have little or no control over many of these factors and any of these factors could cause
our operating results and gross margins, and consequently the price of our common stock, to fluctuate significantly. These factors include, among others:





| | · |  | competitive pricing pressures;
| | - |  | ------------------------------




| | · |  | the rate of growth of the market for digital cameras and digital film;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | fluctuation in demand for our products;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------




| | · |  | the amount of price protection, volume incentive rebates, discounts, market development funds, cooperative advertising payments and other concessions and
discounts that we may need to provide to some of our customers due to competitive pricing;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | our ability to estimate revenue reserves for product sales to certain customers;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | the timing and amount of expenses related to obsolescence and disposal of excess inventory;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | the timing and amount of any reductions in the average selling prices of our products and services;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | the difficulty of forecasting and managing our inventory levels;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | the difficulty of forecasting sell-through rates of our products and their impact on inventory levels at our distributors and customers, which may result in
additional orders being delayed or reduced and inventory being returned;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | price reductions in key components, such as flash memory, could result in reduced margins when selling products that include previously purchased components
held in inventory;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | · |  | increases in costs charged by our component suppliers, particularly our flash memory suppliers;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | the availability and pricing of flash memory, particularly high-performance flash memory with increased memory capacity;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | · |  | the timing and manner of revenue recognition for any given customer, including the deferral of revenue from new customers until the product is sold to their
customers or changes in our ability to estimate appropriate reductions in product revenue based upon historical experience which may lead to the deferral of revenue until product is sold to their customers;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | competing flash memory card standards, which displace the standards used in our products;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | availability of sufficient silicon wafer foundry capacity to meet customer demand;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | shortages of components such as capacitors and printed circuit boards required for the manufacturing of our products;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | exchange rate fluctuations, particularly the U.S. dollar to Japanese yen exchange rate;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | the mix of business between retail, OEM and licensing;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | commencement of or involvement in litigation;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------




| | · |  | potential product quality problems which could raise return or rework costs; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | whether we can sell controllers in the volumes and at the prices we anticipate.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------




In addition, as a result of our limited operating history and the emerging nature of our market, we may be unable to accurately forecast our revenues and gross margins. We
incur expenses based predominantly on operating plans and estimates of future revenues. Our expenses are to a large extent fixed and we may not be able to adjust them quickly to meet a shortfall in revenues during any particular quarter. We also
plan inventory levels based on anticipated revenues. Any significant shortfall in revenues in relation to our expenses and planned inventories would decrease our net income or increase our operating losses and would also harm our financial
condition. Declines in our operating results or gross margins may cause us to fail to meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts. If this were to happen, the market price for our common stock would likely decline significantly.





If we are unable to obtain additional financing for our future capital needs, we may be unable to develop or
enhance our products, expand our operations, respond to competitive pressures or continue our operations.





We
had approximately $31.2 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2002. We currently anticipate that this capital, together with funds available under our credit facility with Greater Bay Bank will be sufficient to meet our anticipated
needs for working capital and capital expenditures through the next twelve months at our current operating levels. However, it is likely that we will need to raise additional funds prior to the expiration of this period if, for example, our growth
meets or exceeds our current expectations or if we do not realize our expectation of continued operating income and incur operating losses that deplete our working capital or if Greater Bay Bank terminates our credit facility which it may do for any
reason. If we were required to raise additional funds, it could be difficult to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, if at all. We may try to obtain additional financing by issuing shares of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities
or warrants pursuant to our effective shelf registration statement or otherwise, which could dilute our existing stockholders. If we cannot raise needed funds on acceptable terms, or at all, we may not be able to maintain our product development
schedule, respond to competitive pressures or grow our business.

We primarily depend upon a single source of flash memory, and if this source
is unable to provide us with sufficient quantities of flash memory in a timely manner and remain technologically and price competitive, we would not be able to manufacture and deliver digital film to our customers in accordance with their volume,
price and schedule requirements.





As a result of the supply agreement we entered into with Samsung in April
2001, it has become our primary supplier of flash memory, which is the primary component of our digital film. We expect that the demand for flash memory over the next several years will be substantially greater than in past periods due to the
increasing acceptance of digital cameras and other digital consumer products. If we are unable to obtain sufficient quantities of flash memory from Samsung or if necessary, from another flash memory supplier in a timely manner, we would not be able
to manufacture and deliver flash memory products to satisfy our customers requirements. In addition, if Samsung is unable to ensure that its flash memory is technologically and price competitive or has any interruptions in shipment for any
reason, we may also be unable to satisfy our customers requirements. As one example, Samsung is emphasizing smaller flash geometries over multi-level cell technology. If multi-level cell technology can be manufactured in volume at high yields,
it could offer significant cost advantages over single-level cell technologies. If we are unable to satisfy the requirements of our customers, they may reduce any future orders or eliminate us as a supplier. Our reputation would likely also be
harmed and we may not be able to replace any lost business with new customers. Because we will likely obtain most of our flash memory from Samsung for the foreseeable future, our relationships with other flash suppliers may not be as strong as they
had been in the past. Other flash suppliers may not be able to supply our flash memory needs if we cannot obtain adequate supplies from Samsung. Even if we are able to obtain flash memory in sufficient volume and on schedules that permit us to
satisfy our delivery requirements, we cannot assure you that the prices charged by these suppliers will enable us to compete effectively in our market. Samsung and many other potential suppliers of flash memory are located in Asia, a region that has
been, and in the future may be, affected by economic and political instability that could adversely affect the price and supply of flash memory. If we are unable to obtain flash memory at economical prices, our margins would decline unless we could
raise the prices of our products in a commensurate manner. The existing competitive conditions may not permit us to do so, in which case we may suffer increased losses or reduced profits.





The solid-state storage market is evolving and future digital film formats may not use our core technology or we may be forced to pay a royalty to sell digital film in
these formats.





Our products may become less useful to our customers if we are unable to respond to
technological advances in our industry or as innovative products become available to our customers. Although the majority of digital cameras currently use Compact Flash, Memory Stick or Smart Media Cards, future digital cameras may use other digital
film formats such as the Secure Digital Card or the recently announced xD Picture Card, formats which we do not currently manufacture. We may have to obtain a license before we are able to manufacture such digital film formats. For example, a
consortium led by SanDisk, Matsushita and Toshiba introduced the Secure Digital Card format and charges license fees to other companies that want to manufacture such a product. We may be unable to secure licensing arrangements for these or other
future digital film formats at reasonable rates or at all. If we are not able to supply the entire range of digital film formats or if we were to have product shortages, our customers would likely cancel orders or seek other suppliers to replace us.
Matrix Semiconductor has announced that it soon plans to introduce a one time programmable memory with significant cost savings over the types of memory that are currently commercially available. If we are unable to obtain such technology at
competitive prices, our business may be adversely affected. Further, future digital cameras may use other digital film formats, such as compact discs, rotating media, micro-optical storage or magneto-optical storage, which may not use our controller
technology. For example, DataPlay has introduced a low cost micro-optical device. If these other digital film formats were to gain broad consumer acceptance, demand for our controller technology would decline, which would negatively impact our gross
margins and operating results.





We have a history of losses and may not be able to sustain profitability.





We incurred net losses of approximately $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and as of
June 30, 2002 we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $139.5 million. Although we achieved profitability




23




---

##### Table of Contents

in the second quarter of 2002, we cannot assure you that we will be able to sustain profitability in future periods and we expect to incur negative operating cash flows during the remainder of
2002. Our ability to achieve sustained profitability depends on the rate of growth of the markets for digital cameras, digital film and digital storage media, the extent to which our products and services are accepted by these markets, our ability
to charge a premium for our higher performance products and our ability to adequately control our operating expenses.We also must continue to reduce the costs of producing and selling our digital film products by controlling our internal and
channel inventory, securing the best available pricing for flash cards and components used in our digital film products and reducing our manufacturing costs. If we are unsuccessful in increasing revenues from our higher margin products and
controlling our operating expenses, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or an annual basis.





We market our digital film primarily on the basis of its superior technology. If we are unable to achieve or maintain technology leadership, our gross margins and revenues would likely decline significantly.





We market our digital film primarily on the basis of its performance and technology advantage over our competitors
products. In doing so, we have emphasized our speed advantage over our competitors products and have tried to establish ourselves as the brand of choice among professional photographers. We label our CompactFlash products for write speed
performance in which 1x is equal to a write speed of 150 kilobytes per second, nomenclature similar to that used in the CD-ROM industry. For example, our 4x CompactFlash digital film is capable of sustained write speeds of at least 600 kilobytes per
second. Currently, we offer CompactFlash with write speeds ranging from 4x to 24x. Our highest capacity card is currently 1 gigabyte. From time to time our competitors have introduced products for which they have claimed high, sustained write
speeds. If we are unable to design and manufacture products that are technologically superior to those of our competitors or if we lose our status as a brand preferred by professional photographers, we will be unable to achieve a premium price for
our products. If this were to occur, our revenues and gross margins would likely decline significantly.





Our
products are characterized by average selling prices that have historically declined over relatively short time periods. If we are unable to effectively manage our inventories, reduce our costs, introduce new products with higher average selling
prices or increase our sales volumes, our gross margins will be negatively impacted.





Although consumers have
recently begun to purchase digital cameras in volume, they still exert pressure on digital camera manufacturers and on us to lower prices of digital photography products, like our digital film, to prices comparable to those of traditional
photography products. Our competitors also impose pricing pressures on us. In addition, because a large percentage of our sales are to a small number of customers that are primarily retail consumer chains, distributors and large original equipment
manufacturers, these customers have exerted, and we expect they will continue to exert, pressure on us to make price concessions. In 2000, 2001 and in the first six months of 2002, we significantly reduced the prices of many of our digital
photography products, and may need to do so in the future to remain competitive. Any reduction in prices by us will negatively impact our gross margins, unless we can manage our internal and channel inventories to minimize such price declines and
reduce our costs. In addition, we have entered into agreements to sell our products to certain customers on a consignment basis. As of June 30, 2002, we had not implemented any consignment arrangements with any of our customers. However, we
anticipate that in the third quarter we will begin implementing consignment arrangements with certain customers. We expect that as that a result of these arrangements, we will carry higher levels of inventory which will most likely result in
additional operational costs including, but not limited to, insurance, inventory shrinkage, audit and accounting fees and property taxes. If we are unable to reduce our costs to offset declines in average selling prices or increase the sales volume
of our existing products, our gross margins will be adversely affected. We anticipate that our average selling prices will decline as additional flash memory capacity becomes available in late 2002.





Because we protect many of our retail customers and distributors against the effects of price decreases on their inventories of our
products, we have in the past and may in the future incur large price protection charges if we reduce our prices when there are large quantities of our products in our distribution channel.





More than half of our product sales in 2001 and in the first half of 2002 were made through distributors and retailers to which we have provided price protection. In
the second quarter of 2002, we incurred approximately




24




---

##### Table of Contents

$0.8 million in price protection charges, and we anticipate that we will continue to incur price protection charges in 2002 due to competitive pricing pressures. If our price protection reserves
are insufficient or we are not able to estimate future charges, our revenues and gross margins would be adversely affected in future periods.





Because many of our retail customers and distributors have rights of return, we may be required to take back large quantities of unsold inventory, which could reduce our revenues.





Substantially all of our sales of our digital film products to end-users are made through distributors and retailers. Our sales
through these channels often include rights to return unsold inventory. For sales of some of our products, we recognize revenue upon shipment of our products, although we establish reserves for estimated returns. Additionally, we permit some of our
customers to return products in their inventory for credit or in exchange for new products. If there are significant inventories of old products in our distribution channel when a new product is released, or if these distributors and retailers are
unsuccessful in selling our products, there could be substantial product returns. If our reserves are insufficient to account for these returns or if we are unable to resell these products on a timely basis at similar prices, our revenues may be
reduced. Because the market for our products is rapidly evolving, we may not be able to resell returned products at attractive prices or at all.





If our customers elect to compete with us in the digital film market, our revenues and gross margins would likely decline.





We sell our CompactFlash controllers to companies that could use our controllers to manufacture CompactFlash products. Many of these customers are large companies that have
longer operating histories and greater brand recognition, greater access to flash memory, substantially greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources and longer standing relationships with customers. If these companies were to choose
to compete directly with us in the digital film market, our revenues and gross margins would likely decline.





We distribute our products into international markets. If we are unable to anticipate demand and pricing of our products in those regions or if we are unable to effectively manage the distributor channels and relationships in
those regions, our operating results will be harmed and our stock price will likely decline.





If we are unable
to accurately anticipate demand and pricing of products in international markets, or if we cannot work effectively with our distribution partners to create demand, develop effective marketing programs, manage inventory levels and collect receivables
in a timely fashion, our operating results will be harmed and our stock price will likely decline.





If we are
unable to generate increased revenue from licensing our controller technology for application in other products and selling our controllers on a stand-alone basis to third parties, our gross margins may be negatively impacted and we will have
difficulty achieving or sustaining profitability.





We have historically derived the substantial majority of
our revenues from the sale of our digital film and connectivity products. We believe, however, that our future growth and ability to become profitable may depend on our ability to license our proprietary controller technology for use in new digital
photography applications or applications in other markets, such as music and video, and to generate increased revenues from the sales of our controllers. If we fail to generate significant licensing revenues from these activities or increase the
revenues we derive from our controller sales, we may not grow our revenues and margins as planned and we may have difficulty achieving or sustaining profitability.





We depend on a few key customers and the loss of any of them could significantly reduce our revenues.





Historically, a small number of our customers have accounted for a significant portion of our revenues. During the second quarter of 2002, sales to the ten customers from
which we received the greatest revenues accounted for approximately 68.9% of our gross revenues. Our revenues could decline if one or more of these




25




---

##### Table of Contents

customers were to significantly reduce, delay or cancel their orders, decide to purchase digital film manufactured by one of our competitors, develop and manufacture their own digital film or
cease operations due to the downturn in the global economy or otherwise. In addition, any difficulty in collecting outstanding amounts due from our customers, particularly customers that place larger orders or experience financial difficulties,
would also reduce our revenues. Because our sales are made by means of standard purchase orders rather than long-term contracts, we cannot assure you that these customers will continue to purchase quantities of our products at current levels, or at
all.





Furthermore, our revenues include sales to OEMs, some of which may in the future decide to compete against
us in the digital film market. We expect our operating results for at least the next several years to continue to depend on sales to a relatively small number of customers.





If we are unable to develop and introduce, on a timely basis, new products or services that are accepted by our customers and consumers, we will not be able to compete
effectively in our market.





We operate in an industry that is subject to evolving industry standards, rapid
technological changes, rapid changes in consumer demands and the rapid introduction of new, higher performance products that shorten product life cycles and tend to decrease average selling prices. To remain competitive in this demanding market, we
must continually design, develop and introduce new products and services that meet the performance and price requirements of our customers and consumers. Any significant delay or failure in releasing new products or services would harm our
reputation, provide a competitor a first-to-market opportunity or allow a competitor to achieve greater market share. Also, we cannot assure you that any products or services we do introduce will gain market acceptance. The introduction of new
products is inherently risky because it is difficult to foresee advances in technology and the adoption of new standards, to coordinate our technical personnel and strategic relationships and to identify and eliminate design and product flaws. We
may not be able to recoup research and development expenditures if our new products or services are not widely accepted.





If we are unable to develop or maintain the strategic relationships necessary to develop, sell and market products that are commercially viable and widely accepted, the growth and success of our business may be limited.





We may not be able to develop and sell products that are commercially viable and widely accepted if we are
unable to anticipate market trends and the price, performance and functionality requirements of digital camera and flash memory manufacturers. We must continue to collaborate closely with our customers, digital camera manufacturers, flash memory
manufacturers and other suppliers to ensure that critical development, marketing and distribution projects proceed in a coordinated manner. This collaboration is also important because our ability to anticipate trends and plan our development
activities depends to a significant degree upon our continued access to information derived from strategic relationships we currently have with digital camera and flash memory manufacturers. This collaboration can be difficult because many of these
companies are located in Europe or Asia. If any of our current relationships terminate or otherwise deteriorate, or if we are unable to enter into future alliances that provide us with comparable insight into market trends, we will be hindered in
our product development efforts.





We rely to a significant degree on retailers to sell our digital film
products.





We sell a significant percentage of our digital film products to retailers, most notably CompUSA,
Ritz, Target, and Wal-mart rather than through original equipment manufacturer and distributor channels. As such, we are subject to many risks, including the following:





| | · |  | loss of market share if the retailers that carry our products do not grow as quickly and sell as many digital film products as the retailers that carry the
digital film products of our competitors;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | product returns could increase as a result of our strategic interest in assisting retailers in balancing their inventories;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents




| | · |  | reduced ability to forecast sales;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------




| | · |  | reduction of gross margins, delays in collecting receivables and increased inventory levels due to the increasing tendency for some retailers to require
products on a consignment basis;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | retailers may emphasize our competitors products over our products, or decline to carry our products; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | continued downward pricing pressure in the retail channel has and could continue to necessitate price protection of the inventories of our products that many of
our customers carry.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Because we depend on single suppliers for some key components and
products and do not have long-term supply contracts with those suppliers, we are exposed to the risks of a potential inability to obtain an adequate supply of components, price increases, late deliveries and poor component quality.





ZETEX Semiconductors is the sole manufacturer of transistors for our CompactFlash and connectivity products. We rely on
additional vendors, some of which are sole source suppliers, for other critical components. Because we depend on a single supplier for certain key components, and do not have a long-term supply contract with these suppliers, we face the risk of
inadequate component supply, price increases, late deliveries and poor component quality. Any supplier may terminate their relationships with us or pursue other relationships with our competitors, and if we were to lose our relationship with these
single suppliers, the lead time required to qualify new suppliers could be as long as three months. Also, if we lose our single suppliers or these suppliers are otherwise unable to satisfy our volume and delivery schedule requirements, it may be
difficult to locate any suppliers who have the ability to develop, manufacture and deliver the specialized components we need for our products. If we are unable to accurately predict our supply needs, or if our supply of components is disrupted, our
reputation may be harmed and we may lose existing customers or be unable to attract new customers.





We also do not
manufacture certain flash memory cards such as the SD Card or Multi-Media Card as these cards have not yet reached sufficient market penetration for us to justify the investment to develop a flash memory controller. Until we develop our own flash
memory controller for these and other products, we purchase such cards from third parties for resale. We do not have a long-term supply contract with these suppliers, and therefore face the risks of inadequate supply, price increases, late delivery
or unavailability. If our supply of such products is disrupted, our reputation may be harmed and we may lose existing customers or be unable to attract new customers.





We depend on a single third-party wafer foundry to manufacture all of our controllers, and if we are unable to obtain sufficient quantities of controllers at acceptable
quality, yields and prices, and in a timely manner, we may not be able to meet customer demand for our products, which could limit the growth and success of our business.





We do not own or operate a semiconductor fabrication facility. Instead, we rely on a single outside foundry, United Microelectronics Corporation, or UMC, of Taiwan to
produce all of our controller products. Our reliance on an independent foundry involves a number of significant risks, including:





| | · |  | reduced control over delivery schedules, quality assurance, manufacturing yields and production costs;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | lack of guaranteed production capacity or product supply; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | unavailability of, or delayed access to, next-generation or key process technologies.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




We do not have a long-term supply agreement with UMC and instead obtain manufacturing services on a purchase order basis. UMC has no obligation to supply products to
us for any specific period, in any specific quantity or at any specific price, except as set forth in a particular purchase order. Our requirements represent a small portion of the total production capacity of UMC, and UMC may reallocate capacity to
other customers on short notice, even during periods of high demand for our products. If UMC were to become unable or unwilling

to continue manufacturing our controllers in the required volumes, at acceptable quality, yields and prices, and in a timely manner, we might not be able to meet customer demand for our products,
which could limit the growth and success of our business. Although we have attempted to diversify our sources of controllers by qualifying TSMC and others, we cannot assure you that they will have sufficient capacity to accommodate our demand at any
particular time.





In addition, if competition for foundry capacity increases, we may incur significant expenses to
secure access to manufacturing services, which in turn may cause our product costs to increase substantially. We expect that the demand for capacity at these facilities will change in the near future due to fluctuating demand for consumer electronic
and industrial products that depend on semiconductors manufactured at these facilities. All of these foundries are located in an area of the world that may be subject to political and economic instability and natural disasters, particularly
earthquakes. While the last major earthquake in Taiwan did not have a significant impact on deliveries to us from UMC, a similar event in the future at one of their foundries could have a significant impact.





We depend solely on third-party subcontractors for assembly and testing of our digital film products, which could result in product
shortages or delays or increase our costs of manufacturing, assembling or testing our products.





Our
CompactFlash digital film is currently assembled and tested by Venture Manufacturing in the United States, Malaysia and Singapore and also by PC Partner in China. We do not have a long-term agreement with Venture Manufacturing or PC Partner and
typically obtain services from them on a per order basis. Additionally, our controllers are assembled, tested and packaged primarily by Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. in Taiwan and Multitech Design & Test, Inc. in Sunnyvale,
California. Our reliance on these subcontractors involves risks such as reduced control over delivery schedules, quality assurance, inventory levels and costs. These risks could result in product shortages or increase our costs of manufacturing,
assembling or testing our products. If these subcontractors are unable or unwilling to continue to provide assembly and test services and deliver products of acceptable quality, at acceptable costs and in a timely manner, we would have to identify
and qualify other subcontractors. This could be time-consuming and difficult and result in unforeseen operations problems.





Our unit volume has increased substantially over the last year and has strained our operations infrastructure and our supply chain.





Over the last year, the number of units we manufacture on a weekly basis has increased significantly. This significant increase in growth has strained our supply chain and operations capabilities. If
we are not able to continue to accommodate this increased unit demand from our customers, we may have product shortages. If we were to have product shortages, our customers would likely cancel orders or seek other suppliers to replace us. In
addition, we must make a significant investment in our existing internal information management systems to support increased manufacturing, as well as accounting and other management related functions. Our systems, procedures and controls may not be
adequate to support rapid growth, which could in turn harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.





Our failure to successfully promote our brand and achieve strong brand recognition in target markets could limit or reduce the demand for our products and services.





We believe that brand recognition will be important to our ability to be successful as the digital photography market continues to develop. We plan to continue to invest in
marketing programs to create and maintain prominent brand awareness. If we fail to promote our brand successfully, or the expenses associated with doing so become increasingly high, our business may not grow as we anticipate. In addition, if our
products exhibit poor performance or other defects, our brand may be adversely affected, which would inhibit our ability to attract or retain customers.

If we encounter difficulties in attracting and retaining qualified personnel,
we may not be able to successfully execute our business strategy and we may need to grant large stock-based incentives that could be dilutive to our stockholders and may be required to pay significant salaries which would increase our general and
administrative costs.





Our future success will depend to a significant extent on the continued services of our
key employees, including Eric B. Stang, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Petro Estakhri, our Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President of Engineering. Our success will also depend on our ability to attract and retain
qualified technical, sales, marketing, finance and managerial personnel. If we are unable to find, hire and retain qualified individuals, we may have difficulty implementing portions of our business strategy in a timely manner, or at all.





We may experience difficulty in hiring and retaining candidates with appropriate qualifications. To attract and
retain qualified personnel, we may be required to grant large option or other stock-based incentive awards, which may be highly dilutive to existing stockholders. We may also be required to pay significant base salaries and cash bonuses to attract
and retain these individuals, which could harm our operating results. If we do not succeed in hiring and retaining candidates with appropriate qualifications, we will not be able to grow our business.





If our products contain defects, we may incur unexpected and significant operating expenses to correct the defects, we may be required
to pay damages to third parties and our reputation may suffer serious harm.





Although our digital film
products are tested after they are assembled, these products are extremely complex and may contain defects. These defects are particularly likely when new versions or enhancements are released. The sale of products with defects or reliability,
quality or compatibility problems may damage our reputation and our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers. For example, if there are defects in our products that cause loss of data, customers may lose their digital images
stored on our digital film. In addition, product defects and errors could result in additional development costs, diversion of technical and management resources, delayed product shipments, increased product returns, and product liability claims
against us which may not be fully covered by insurance.





Our significant sales outside the United States and
our brand launch in Japan subject us to increasing foreign political and economic risks, including foreign currency fluctuations.





Sales outside of the United States accounted for 36.0% of our total net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. We generated a majority of our international revenues from licensing agreements in Asia and product
sales in Europe and Asia. The European and Asian markets are intensely competitive. One of our principal growth strategies is to expand our presence in this and other international markets both through increased international sales and strategic
relationships. We have begun conducting transactions in the euro, and are expanding distribution of our products into Latin America. Consequently, we anticipate that sales outside of the United States will continue to account for a significant
portion of our net revenues in future periods. Accordingly, we are subject to international risks, including:





| | · |  | foreign currency exchange fluctuations;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------




| | · |  | political and economic instability;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------




| | · |  | delays in meeting customer commitments due to difficulties associated with managing an international distribution system;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | increased time to collect receivables caused by slower payment practices that are common in many international markets;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | difficulties associated with managing export licenses, tariffs and other regulatory issues pertaining to international trade;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | difficulties in hiring and managing employees in foreign countries.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------




The sales of our products are denominated primarily in United States dollars. As a result, increases in the value of the United States dollar relative to foreign currencies
could cause our products to become less competitive in international markets and could result in a reduction in sales and profitability. We have product sales denominated in British pounds, Euros and other European currencies, as well as the
Japanese yen. In addition, we anticipate having some sales in Latin American currencies in 2002. To the extent our prices are denominated in foreign currencies, particularly the British pound and Japanese yen, we will be exposed to increased risks
of currency fluctuations. We are considering adopting and implementing a hedging policy to mitigate these potential risks, however we cannot assure you that any policies or techniques implemented in the future will be successful or that our business
and financial condition will not be harmed by exchange rate fluctuations.





Risks Related to Our Industry





Our business will not succeed unless the digital photography market continues to grow and is accepted by professional, commercial and
consumer users.





We currently depend on sales of digital film and connectivity products for substantially all
of our revenues, which exposes us to substantial risk in the event the digital photography market does not grow rapidly. The digital photography market is in an early stage of development and is rapidly evolving. The success of this market depends
on many factors, including:





| | · |  | the ability of digital cameras to take high-quality photographs;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | the availability of digital cameras at prices and with performance characteristics comparable to traditional cameras;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | the availability of digital film that meet users requirements with respect to price, speed, connectivity, capacity and compatibility;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | the speed at which digital cameras are able to take successive photographs;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | the ease with which digital files can be transferred to a personal computer or printer;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | the availability of digital image prints comparable in quality and price to traditional photographs; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | market conditions in the industry and the economy as a whole.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------




In addition to the above factors related to the digital photography market as a whole, we believe the following additional factors will affect the successful adoption of
digital photography by consumers:





| | · |  | marketing campaigns that increase brand awareness in end-user markets, both domestically and internationally;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | increased association between brand names and attractive price and performance characteristics; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | heightened consumer confidence in digital photography technology.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------




If the digital photography market does not continue to grow and be accepted by professional, commercial and consumer users, our business will not succeed.





Increased competition in the digital film market may lead to a decrease in our revenues and market share.





We currently compete in an industry characterized by intense competition, rapid technological change, evolving industry
standards, declining average selling prices and rapid product obsolescence. Our existing competitors include many large domestic and international companies that have longer operating histories and

##### Table of Contents

greater brand name recognition, greater access to flash memory, substantially greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, broader product lines and longer standing relationships
with retailers, OEMs and end users. As a result, these competitors may be able to better absorb price declines, adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies or devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products than we may.
Ultimately, this may lead to a decrease in sales and market share.





Our primary competitors are companies that
sell digital film into the consumer and original equipment manufacturer digital film markets. These companies are primarily manufacturers with both controller and flash memory capabilities, such as Hitachi, SanDisk and Toshiba. SanDisk and Toshiba
now jointly develop and manufacture high-performance flash memory. Because flash memory represents a significant portion of the cost of digital film, SanDisk may have a competitive advantage in that it will have access to high-capacity flash memory
at prices that may be substantially below the prices that Samsung will charge.





We also compete with
manufacturers, package or card assemblers and resellers that combine controllers and flash memory developed by others, such as Hitachi or Toshiba, into flash memory cards, including Dane-Elec Manufacturing, Delkin Devices, Inc., Fuji, Kingston
Technology, M-Systems, PNY, Pretec, Ritek, Simple Technology, Smart Modular Technologies, Sony Corporation, TDK Corporation, Viking and many others. Additionally, Hitachi and Samsung, as well as flash controller developers such as Solid State System
Co. Ltd. (3-S), compete with our controller and card sales.





Kodak and Fuji are the largest and best-known
manufacturers of traditional film products. Kodak and Fuji have entered the U.S. digital film market, but do not yet manufacture their own digital film. Kodak has also announced that it plans to build on its digital strategy with investments and
purchases as it aims to be the number one player in digital photography. It further stated that it would fund its digital plans from $6 billion in free cash flow between 2001 and 2005. With their resources and worldwide brand recognition, either
Kodak or Fuji would be formidable competitors for our core business. We also expect to face competition from existing or future competitors that design and market similar or alternative data storage solutions that may be less costly or provide
additional features. If a manufacturer of digital cameras or other consumer electronic devices designs one of these alternative competing standards into its products, our digital film, as currently configured, will not be compatible with that
product and our revenues may decline.





General economic conditions and reduced demand for digital film and
related products may prevent us from achieving targeted revenues and profitability.





Our revenues and our
ability to achieve and sustain profitability depends significantly on the overall demand for digital film and related products. Our customers decisions to purchase our products are largely discretionary. The slowdown in the U.S. and global
economy may cause customers to defer or alter purchasing decisions, and accordingly could reduce demand for our products. Softening demand for these products caused by worsening economic conditions has resulted in the past, and may again in the
future result, in decreased revenues. As a result, there is uncertainty with respect to our expected revenues for the balance of 2002, and further delays or reductions in spending on digital film and related products could have a material adverse
effect on our revenues and operating results.





Our stock price and those of other technology companies have
experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, and, accordingly, our stock price may continue to be volatile which could negatively affect your investment.





The trading price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly since our initial public offering in August 2000 and is significantly below the original offering price
of $8 per share. An active public market for our common stock may not be sustained in the future. Many factors could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate, including:





| | · |  | variations in our quarterly operating results;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------




| | · |  | announcements of technological innovations by us or by our competitors;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



31

##### Table of Contents




| | · |  | introductions of new products or new pricing policies by us or by our competitors;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | departure of key personnel;
| | - |  | ---------------------------




| | · |  | the gain or loss of significant orders or customers;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | sales of common stock by our officers and directors;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | changes in the estimates of our operating performance or changes in recommendations by securities analysts; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | market conditions in our industry and the economy as a whole.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------




In addition, stocks of technology companies have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated or disproportionate to these
companies operating performance. Public announcements by companies in our industry concerning, among other things, their performance, accounting practices or legal problems could cause fluctuations in the market for stocks of these companies.
These fluctuations could lower the market price of our common stock regardless of our actual operating performance.





In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following a period of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities
litigation could result in substantial costs and divert managements attention and resources, which could harm our operating results and our business.





If digital camera manufacturers do not develop and promote products that are able to take advantage of our fastest digital film products, the growth and success of our business may be limited.





We depend on the research and development, marketing and sales efforts of digital camera manufacturers in
developing, marketing and selling digital cameras that can use our more advanced existing and future products. Most of the digital cameras currently available on the market do not incorporate technologies that can take advantage of the speed
available in our fastest digital film products. If digital camera manufacturers do not successfully develop, market and sell digital cameras that take full advantage of our most advanced products, from which we realize higher gross margins, the
growth and success of our business may be limited.





The manufacturing of our products is complex and subject to
yield problems, which could decrease available supply and increase costs.





The manufacture of flash memory and
controllers is a complex process, and it is often difficult for companies to achieve acceptable product yields. Reduced flash memory yields could decrease available supply and increase costs. Controller yields depend on both our product design and
the manufacturing process technology unique to the semiconductor foundry. Because low yields may result from either design defects or process difficulties, we may not identify yield problems until well into the production cycle, when an actual
product exists and can be analyzed and tested. In addition, many of these yield problems are difficult to diagnose and time consuming or expensive to remedy.





Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property





If we are unable to adequately
protect our intellectual property, our competitors may gain access to our technology, which could harm our ability to successfully compete in our market.





We regard our intellectual property as critical to our success. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, we may be unable to successfully compete in our market.





We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality agreements and other
methods to protect our proprietary technologies. We have been granted patents in the




32

##### Table of Contents

United States and other countries and have a number of pending United States and foreign patent applications. We cannot assure you, however, that:





| | · |  | any of our existing or future patents will not be invalidated;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | patents will be issued for any of our pending applications;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | any claims allowed from existing or pending patents will have sufficient scope or strength; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| | · |  | our patents will be issued in the primary countries where our products are sold in order to protect our rights and potential commercial advantage.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




It may also be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology
without authorization, develop similar technology independently or design around our patents.





We are involved
in intellectual property litigation, and expect to become involved in additional litigation that could divert managements time and attention, be time-consuming and expensive to defend and limit our access to important technology.





We are a party to litigation with third parties to protect our intellectual property or as a result of an
alleged infringement of others intellectual property. We expect to be involved in additional patent litigation in the near future. These lawsuits could subject us to significant liability for damages. These lawsuits could also lead to the
invalidation of our patent rights. Patent lawsuits are extremely expensive and time-consuming and can divert managements time and attention. When we sue other companies for patent infringement, it may prompt them to respond by suing us for
infringement of their patents. Additional patent litigation would significantly increase our legal expenses, which would result in higher operational expenses and lower operating margins. Any potential intellectual property litigation also could
force us to do one or more of the following:





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




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




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




If we are forced to take any of the foregoing actions, we may incur additional costs or be unable to manufacture and sell our products.





Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Market Risk.





Foreign currency risk.    We sell our products primarily to customers in the U.S. and, to a lesser extent, Japan, Europe and Canada. Most of our sales are currently denominated in U.S. dollars; however, we
anticipate an increasing amount of our sales will be denominated in British pounds, the Japanese yen and possibly the euro and Latin American currencies. As a result, it is possible that our future financial results could be directly affected by
changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and the prices of our products would become more expensive in a particular foreign market if the value of the U.S. dollar rises in comparison to the local currency, which may make it more difficult to sell
our products in that market. We will continue to face foreign currency exchange risk in the future. Approximately 20.4% of our product revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were derived from countries other than the United States.
Therefore, our financial results could be directly affected by weak economic conditions in foreign markets. In addition, a strengthening of the U.S. dollar could make our products less competitive in foreign markets. These risks could become more
significant if we expand business outside the U.S. or if we increase sales in non-U.S. dollar denominated currencies. We are considering adopting and implementing a hedging policy to mitigate these potential risks, however, we cannot assure you that
any policies or techniques implemented in the future will be successful or that our business and financial condition will not be harmed by exchange rate fluctuations.

##### Table of Contents




Interest rate risk.    Our exposure to market risk for
changes in interest rates relates primarily to the increase or decrease in the amount of interest expense we must pay on our outstanding debt instruments. The risk associated with fluctuating interest expense is limited to the exposure related to
those debt instruments and credit facilities that are tied to market rates. At June 30, 2002 we had no outstanding debt instruments that were tied to market rates. We do not plan to use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio.
We plan to ensure the safety and preservation of our invested principal funds by limiting default risk and market risk. We plan to mitigate default risk by investing in investment-grade securities. We have historically invested in investment-grade,
short-term securities that we have held until maturity to limit our market risk.
