1.   Basis of Preparation

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Oak Technology, Inc. and subsidiaries ("Oak" or the "Company") have been
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  However,
certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission").  In the opinion of
management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated
financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or in
any future period.  This quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto for the year ended June 30, 2000, included in the Oak Technology, Inc.
2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission.


Reclassifications
-----------------

     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current year presentation.


Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
---------------------------------------------

     The Company periodically enters into economic hedges by purchasing foreign
exchange contracts as a hedge against foreign currency denominated accounts
receivables or fixed sales commitments.  As of December 31, 2000, the Company
had short-term foreign currency exchange contracts with face values of
approximately $1.1 million and $2.1 million for accounts receivables in foreign
currencies and fixed purchase commitments, respectively.  The impact of
recording the fair values of the forward contracts and unrealized gains or
losses in the accounts receivable was not material for the periods presented.


2. Inventories

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or
market and consisted of the following (in thousands):

3.   Net Income (Loss) Per Share

     Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share have been computed using the
weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common
equivalent shares from stock options and warrants outstanding in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per
Share."

     The following table provides a reconciliation of the components of the
basic and diluted income (loss) per share computations:

</TABLE>

     For the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2000, there were
approximately 571,000 and 276,000 weighted average options to purchase shares,
respectively, which were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted
average shares outstanding as inclusion of these shares would have had an anti-
dilutive effect.  Similarly, for the three and six month periods ended December
31, 1999, approximately 763,000 and 744,000 weighted average options to
purchase shares, respectively, were not included in the calculation of diluted
loss per share.


4.   Contingencies

     The Company and various of its current and former officers and directors
are parties to a consolidated class action lawsuit filed in Santa Clara County
Superior Court in Santa Clara, California on behalf of all persons who
purchased or acquired the Company's common stock for the period from July 27,
1995 to May 22, 1996.  The plaintiffs allege the Company has violated state
securities laws, statutory provisions, deceit provisions as well as breaches of
fiduciary duty and abuse of control.  On August 5, 2000 the court granted the
Company's motion for summary judgment and entered judgment in favor of the
Company.  The plaintiffs have filed a notice of their intent to appeal the
court's decision.  Additionally, various of the Company's current and former
officers and directors are defendants in three consolidated derivative actions
pending in Santa Clara County Superior Court in Santa Clara, California which
allege a breach of fiduciary duty and a claim under California securities laws.
Based on its current information, the Company believes the class action and
derivative suits to be without merit and will defend its position vigorously.
Although it is reasonably possible the Company may incur losses upon resolution
of these claims, an estimate of loss or range of loss cannot be made.  As such,
a provision has not been recorded on the Company's financial statements as of
June 30, 2000 nor December 31, 2000 with regard to these suits.

     The Company is also a party to various other legal proceedings, including
a number of patent-related matters, and counterclaims filed by the named
defendants in the pending patent suits.  In connection with these

lawsuits, management time has been, and will continue to be, expended and the
Company has incurred, and expects to continue to incur, substantial legal and
other expenses.  See "Legal Proceedings" in Part II - Item I.


5.   Segment Information

     SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the reporting by public business
enterprises of information about operating segments, products and services,
geographic areas, and major customers. The method for determining what
information to report is based on the way that management organizes the
operating segments within the Company for making operational decisions and
assessments of financial performance. The Company's chief operating decision-
maker is considered to be the chief executive officer (CEO).

     For fiscal year 2001, Oak Technology has two reportable segments which
offer different product lines to each of its target markets: Optical Storage
Group and Imaging Group.  The Consumer Group product line did not exist during
the three and six months ended December 31, 2000 as it was divested during the
third quarter of fiscal year 2000.  The Company evaluates operating segment
performance based on net revenues and direct operating expenses of the segment.
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those
described in the summary of accounting policies.  Fiscal year 2001 results for
the Imaging Group includes the operations of the Xionics business which was not
acquired nor included in the operations of the Company until January 11, 2000.
No segments have been aggregated. The Company does not allocate assets to its
individual operating segments.

     Information about reported segment income or loss is as follows for the
three and six months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 (in thousands):

General
-------

     The Company designs, develops and markets high performance embedded
software and integrated semiconductor solutions to original equipment
manufacturers worldwide that serve the optical storage and imaging markets.
The Company's products consist primarily of embedded software, integrated
circuits and supporting software and firmware to provide a complete solution
for customers, thereby enabling them to deliver cost effective, powerful
systems to end users for home and business use.  The Company's mission is to be
a leading solutions provider for the storage and distribution of digital
content.

     For the results of operations for the three and six months ended December
31, 2000, the Company reported net income of $2.8 million and $4.1 million,
respectively.  The increase in net income is a result of the growth in
revenues, primarily due to increased customer acceptance of the Company's
optical product line.  Oak continues to develop its next generation CD-RW
product with five of the top ten CD-RW manufacturers.  However, the Company
cannot predict the future level of customer acceptance of the product and the
product's impact on operating results.

     The Company's quarterly and annual operating results have been, and will
continue to be, affected by a wide variety of factors that could have a
material adverse effect on revenues and profitability during any particular
period, including competitive pressures on selling prices, availability and
cost of foundry capacity and raw materials, fluctuations in yield, loss of any
strategic relationships, the Company's ability to introduce new products in
accordance with OEM design requirements and design cycles, new product
introductions by the Company's competitors and market acceptance of product
sold by both the Company and its customers. To date, Oak has not experienced
any material delays in its wafer deliveries from its primary manufacturers.
However, there can be no assurance that delays will not occur in the future.

In addition, the Company's operating results are subject to fluctuations in the
markets for its customers' products, particularly the consumer electronics and
personal computer markets, which have been extremely volatile in


                                      11


<PAGE>



the past. The Company has devoted a substantial portion of its research and
development efforts in recent quarters to developing chips used in DVD systems,
CD-RW, printer drivers and inkjet multi-function peripherals.  The Company's
DVD, CD-RW, and digital imaging products are subject to the new product risks
described in the preceding paragraph, including, in particular the Company's
ability to timely introduce these products and the market's acceptance of them,
which could have a materially adverse effect on its operating results.

Results of Operations
---------------------

     Net Revenues. Net revenues increased 450% to $60.6 million for the three
     ------------
months ended December 31, 2000 from $11.0 million in the comparable period of
fiscal 2000.  For the six months ended December 31, 2000, net revenues
increased 427% to $111.6 million from $21.2 million in the same period of the
prior year.  The year over year increase in revenues is affected by the
inclusion of Xionics' results of operations in Oak's FY 2001 results which were
not part of Oak's operations in the comparable three and six months of fiscal
2000.

     Net revenues in the Optical Storage business segment were $43.4 million
for the second quarter of fiscal 2001, representing a 2,051% increase from the
segment's net revenues of  $2.0 million reported in the same period of fiscal
2000.  Net revenues in the Optical Storage business segment increased 2,020% to
$77.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2000 compared to $3.6
million recorded in the same period of the prior year.  This increase is
primarily the result of the Company's continued success with its CD-RW product
line.  The Company continued shipping the 8X 9790 product and began to ship the
16X 9795 product in volume.  The Company was also able to bring five additional
large OEM's into mass production during the first six months of fiscal 2001.
The continued ramp into production plus this quarter's initial shipments of
products to one additional OEM customer contributed to the large sequential
increase in revenues in the Optical Storage segment.

     Net revenues for the Imaging business segment were $17.2 million for the
three months ended December 31, 2000, representing a 169% increase over the
$6.4 million reported in the same quarter of fiscal 2000.  Net revenues for the
Imaging business segment increased to $34.4 million, or 159% for the six months
ended December 31, 2000 compared to $13.3 million recorded during the same
period of the prior year.  The year over year increase in imaging revenues is
affected by the inclusion of Xionics' imaging revenues in Oak's FY 2001 results
which were not part of Oak's Imaging operations in the comparable three and six
months of fiscal 2000.

     Subsequent to the inclusion of Xionics effective January 11, 2000,
revenues for the Imaging business segment remained consistent at $17.2 million
for the three months ended December 31, 2000 compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2000.  For the six months ended December 30, 2000, the Company
recorded imaging revenues of $34.4 million compared to $32.9 million recorded
during the approximate six-month period ended June 30, 2000.

     Going forward, imaging revenues will be impacted due to a change in the
Imaging business model for the Company's software products.  Over the past year
the Company has been shifting its business model to share more completely in
the profit opportunities with our customers.  In the past, the Company has
licensed its technology to some customers and has received a fixed fee from
them over the life of the contract, at the end of which the customer would have
a paid up license to the technology.  The Company's recent practice has been to
negotiate a royalty arrangement instead of a license fee, which allows it to
have an equity position in its customers' success and which it believes offers
better upside potential.  The Company expects to see a period of transition
over the next few quarters as fixed contract license fees decline and royalty
revenue begins to ramp as its customers are deploying the software into their
product lines.

     There were no net revenues for the Consumer business segment during fiscal
2001 compared to $2.6 million and $4.3 million recorded during the three and
six months ended December 31, 1999, respectively.  The decrease is a result of
the divestiture of the business during fiscal year 2000.

     Gross Margin.  Cost of revenues include the cost of wafer fabrication,
     ------------
assembly, and testing performed by third-party vendors and direct and indirect
costs associated with the procurement, scheduling and quality assurance
functions performed by the Company.  The Company's total gross margin increased
to 47% for the three-month period


                                      12

<PAGE>

ended December 31, 2000, as compared to 40% during the comparable period in the
prior year.  For the six months ended December 31, 2000, the Company's total
gross margin increased to 49% compared to 45% in the same period of the prior
year.  Gross margin for the Optical Storage business segment was 35% for the
second quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to 46% for the comparable quarter of the
prior year and 37% for the six months ended December 31, 2000 compared to 49%
for the comparable period of the prior year.  The decrease is primarily due to
a decrease in higher margin royalty income combined with an increase in lower
margin product revenues during fiscal 2001.  During the second quarter of
fiscal 2001, there was also an increase in the inventory reserve of
approximately $2.0 million which also contributed to the decrease in the gross
margin for the Optical Storage business segment.  Gross margin for the Imaging
business segment was 76% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2001,
representing a 15% increase from the 66% reported in the second quarter of
fiscal 2000.  Gross margin for the Imaging business for the six months ended
December 31, 2000 was 74% compared to 67% for the same period in the prior
year.  This increase was primarily due to the acquisition and integration of
the Xionics business during the third quarter of the prior year which resulted
in the inclusion of Xionics software with higher gross margins for fiscal 2001.
Gross margin for the Consumer business segment was 24% for the second quarter
of fiscal year 2000, and 26% for the six months ended December 31, 2000, a
segment which no longer exists as it was divested during the third quarter of
fiscal 2000.

     The Company's overall gross margin is subject to change due to various
factors, including, among others, competitive product pricing, yields, wafer
costs, assembly and test costs and product mix.  The Company expects that
average selling prices for its existing products will continue to decline over
time and that the average selling prices for each new product will decline
significantly over the life of the product.   Given the extremely competitive
nature of the optical storage and consumer market, the Company believes that
gross margins for new products in its optical storage market and consumer
market will be lower than historical levels and, as a result, gross margins in
general will decline in the future.

     Research and Development Expenses.  Research and development costs are
     ---------------------------------
expensed as incurred.  Research and development expenses of $13.9 million for
the quarter ended December 31, 2000 increased $1.8 million, or 15%, from $12.1
million in the comparable period of the previous fiscal year.  Research and
development expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2000 increased 18%
to $27.5 million from the $23.3 million recorded in the same period of the
prior year.  The year over year increase in research and development expenses
is due to the net effect of the inclusion of Xionics expenses from the third
quarter of the prior year offset by the divestiture of the broadband business.
Research and development expenses decreased significantly as a percentage of
net revenues for the current fiscal period over the comparable period in the
prior year due primarily to the significant increase in the Company's net
revenues in the current period compared to the comparable period of fiscal
2000.  The Company will continue to invest substantial resources in research
and development of new products in the Company's target markets: optical
storage and digital imaging.  In the second quarter press release and
conference call, management also announced a restructuring of the Imaging
business in order to de-emphasize imaging hardware. The restructuring will
include a reduction in workforce and result in a charge to the third quarter
results of less than $3.0 million. The Company expects this action to generate
ongoing savings of approximately $750,000 per quarter.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and
     --------------------------------------------
administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by 18% to $9.5 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2000 from $8.1 million in the comparable period of
the prior year.  SG&A expenses increased 24% to $19.2 million for the six
months ended December 31, 2000 compared to $15.5 million in the same period of
the prior year.  The year over year increase in SG&A expenses is due to the net
effect of the inclusion of Xionics expenses from the third quarter of the prior
year offset by the divestiture of the broadband business.  SG&A expenses
decreased significantly as a percentage of net revenues for the current fiscal
period over the comparable period in the prior year due primarily to a
significant increase in the Company's net revenues in the current year.

     Amortization of Intangibles.  Amortization of intangible assets was $3.7
     ---------------------------
million for the three months ended December 31, 2000, an increase of $1.6
million or 77% from the $2.1 million recorded in the same period of the prior
fiscal year.  For the six months ended December 31, 2000, amortization of
intangible assets increased 142% to $7.4 million from the $3.0 million recorded
in the same period of the prior year.  The increase is a result of the
additions to intangible assets as a result of the acquisition of Xionics in the
third quarter of fiscal 2000.


                                      13

<PAGE>


     Non-operating Income.  During the second quarter of fiscal 2001, non-
     --------------------
operating income increased to $2.2 million from $1.8 million recorded during
the same quarter of fiscal 2000.  Non-operating income increased 12% to $4.6
million for the six months ended December 31, 2000 from $4.1 million in the
same period of the prior year.  This increase is primarily due to interest
received in conjunction with an income tax refund offset by a decrease in
foreign currency translation gains recognized during the quarter.

     Income Taxes.  For the second quarter of fiscal 2001 and the six months
     ------------
ended December 31, 2000, a tax expense of 16% of net income was recorded based
on estimated fiscal 2001 results.  Management does not yet believe it is more
likely than not that sufficient future taxable income will be generated to
realize all of the Company's deferred tax assets.  Accordingly, during fiscal
1999 a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets was established.
Given this, no income tax benefit was recognized with respect to operating
losses incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2000.


Outlook
-------

     The statements contained in this outlook section and within certain
sections of management's discussion and analysis are forward-looking based on
current expectations and management's estimates.  Actual results may differ
materially from those set forth in these forward-looking statements.  In
addition to the risk factors discussed in the "Factors That May Affect Future
Results" in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" of the Company's 2000 Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, the following factors may also affect the Company's
operating results for fiscal 2001:

     Due to a number of factors including a recent slowdown in the PC industry,
global economic conditions and regular seasonality in the business, the Company
expects total net revenues for the third fiscal quarter of 2001 will increase
by approximately 30% compared with the same quarter of fiscal 2000. This
implies that revenues will be down sequentially perhaps as much as 40% compared
to the quarter just ended, a quarter in which the Company had recognized a
sequential increase of 19% compared to the previous quarter.

     The Company further expects the year-over-year growth rate of net revenues
to accelerate in the fourth fiscal quarter and anticipates in excess of a 50%
year over year growth rate for that quarter. This will imply a quarter to
quarter sequential growth rate in fiscal 2001 in excess of 40% from the third
to the fourth fiscal quarters.

     The Company expects revenue growth in the second half of the calendar year
to accelerate and anticipates exiting calendar 2001 at an annual revenue run
rate of $300 million.

     Gross margin is expected to be in the range of 45% to 48% for the
remainder of the fiscal year as optical storage revenues become a greater
percentage of the revenue mix.

     The Company intends to realign its imaging business to de-emphasize
imaging hardware and increase emphasis on imaging software.

     The Company intends to restructure the imaging business including a
reduction in workforce which will result in a charge in the third fiscal
quarter of less than $3 million related to this strategic initiative. The
Company expects these actions to generate ongoing cost savings in excess of
$750,000 per quarter as a result of these actions.

     The Company expects pro forma net income, excluding reorganization and
other charges or write-offs and amortization of intangible assets, to remain
breakeven to positive in the third fiscal quarter of 2001, with a substantial
sequential increase in the fourth fiscal quarter.

     Oak Technology's procedure for publishing and updating this outlook is as
follows. Following the publication of the outlook in its quarterly earnings
release and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Oak will continue its current
practice of having corporate representatives meet during the quarter with
investors, the media, investment


                                      14

<PAGE>


analysts and others to discuss the published outlook and publicly disclosed
material related to the outlook. This outlook will not be updated during the
quarter unless Oak Technology publishes a notice stating otherwise.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

     Since its inception, the Company has financed its cash requirements from
cash generated from operations, the sale of equity securities, bank lines of
credit and long-term and short-term debt.  The Company's principal sources of
liquidity as of December 31, 2000 consisted of approximately $124.6 million in
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.  The Company also has
approximately $8.2 million in lines of letters of credit with Taiwanese
financial institutions, all of which were available at December 31, 2000.

     During the six months ended December 31, 2000, operating activities
generated cash of approximately $9.6 million.  The Company's net income of
approximately $4.1 million was offset by increases in accounts receivable and
inventories totaling $14.5 million as a result of increased product revenues
and an associated ramp in inventory.   Increases in accounts payable and
accrued expenses of $2.5 million, primarily attributable to the timing of
payments of liabilities, and decreases in prepaid expenses and other current
assets of $7.4 million resulting from the receipt of tax refunds, litigation
settlements, and other receivable helped increase cash generated from operating
activities.  The non-cash effect of depreciation and amortization totaling
$11.2 million also helped increase the cash effect of the net income for the
period.  Investing activities utilized cash of approximately $11.3 million
primarily due to additions to property, plant and equipment of $4.9 million and
net purchases of investments of $6.4 million.  Financing activities generated
cash proceeds of $8.0 million as a result of exercises of stock options.

     The Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term
investments and credit facilities will be sufficient to provide adequate
working capital and to fund necessary purchases of property and equipment and
any other investments it may make through at least the next twelve months.  If,
however, during the next twelve to eighteen month period the Company fails to
continue its increase in revenue or is unable to maintain expenses below its
revenues, then the Company may be in a position where it will need to seek
additional financing.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company will
not be required to seek other financing sooner or that such financing, if
required, will be available on terms satisfactory to the Company.  The Company
may also utilize cash to acquire or invest in complementary businesses or
products or to obtain the right to use complementary technologies.  From time
to time, in the ordinary course of business, the Company evaluates potential
acquisitions of such businesses, products or technologies.

Factors That May Affect Future Results
--------------------------------------

     The following factors should be carefully considered in evaluating the
Company and its business.

Expected Benefits of the Merger with Xionics May Not be Achieved
----------------------------------------------------------------

     As a result of its merger with Xionics, the Company will have to continue
to maintain effective integration of the combined operations including areas of
technical research and development, sales and marketing, business development
efforts and also continue to retain key personnel in this process.  The
execution of these events involve considerable risk and may not be successful.
If the Company is not successful in maintaining a successful integration, the
objectives of the merger, including improved operating results will not be
realized.  A key benefit of the merger was perceived to be the Company's
opportunity to transition from being an integrated circuits provider to a
complete solutions provider for the growing digital office market, and thereby,
gain a larger share of the products outsourced by the Company's original
equipment manufacturer, or OEM, customers.  The Company believes that it has
the resources and technology necessary to be a leading supplier to the digital
office market and will offer one of this industry's most integrated and
flexible platforms.  However, if a successful integration is not maintained or
is more expensive than contemplated, the Company will not realize these
benefits to the fullest extent possible.

     The Company's quarterly revenues and operating results have varied
significantly in the past and are likely to vary substantially from quarter to
quarter in the future. Accordingly, you should not rely on period-to-period
comparisons as an indication of future performance. In addition, these
variations may cause the Company's stock price to fluctuate. If quarterly
results fail to meet public expectations, the price of the Company's stock may
decline.

     The Company's revenues and operating results are affected by a wide
variety of factors, including factors that generally affect everyone in its
industry and factors that are more specific to its business and product lines.
The principal risk the Company faces in its business and one which has had, and
is expected to continue to have, a significant effect on its revenues and
operating results, is its dependence on the optical storage market. Other
factors specific to its business and product lines include the following:

     o The Company's ability to diversify its product offerings and the markets
       for its products;

     o The current market for its products;

     o The loss or gain of important customers;

     o The timing of significant orders and order cancellations or
       rescheduling;

     o Pricing policy changes by the Company and its competitors and suppliers;

     o The potential for significant inventory obsolescence exposure;

     o The timing of the development and introduction of new products or
       enhanced versions of existing products;

     o Market acceptance of new products and continued demand for PC and other
       devices which utilize optical storage technology;

     o Increased competition in product lines;

     o Barriers to entry into new product lines;

     o The competitiveness of the Company's customers; and

     o The inability to obtain foundry capacity and fluctuations in inventory
       and overall demand.

     The Company is in the process of diversifying its business so that its
product offerings include not only integrated circuits, but also embedded
software and platform solutions. However, a significant portion of the
Company's revenue will continue to come from its semiconductor product
offerings. The semiconductor industry historically has been characterized by
rapid technological change and product obsolescence, cyclical market patterns
and seasonal customer demand, significant price erosion, periods of over-
capacity and under-capacity, periods of production shortages, variations in
manufacturing costs, including raw materials, and yields, and significant
expenditures for capital equipment and product development.  In addition, the
industry has experienced significant economic downturns at various times,
characterized by diminished product demand and accelerated erosion of product
prices.  Any downturns in the industry such as those which occurred in January
2001 may cause the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations to suffer.

     The Company has experienced in the past and may in the future experience
substantial period-to-period fluctuations in operating results due to these
general semiconductor industry conditions. The downturns in the industry often
occur in connection with, or in anticipation of, maturing product cycles (of
both the semiconductor companies and their customers) and declines in general
economic conditions. These downturns have been characterized by abrupt
fluctuations in product demand, production over-capacity and subsequent
accelerated erosion of average selling prices, and in some cases have lasted
for more than a year. Even if customers' aggregate demand


                                      16

<PAGE>


were not to decline, the availability of additional capacity can adversely
impact pricing levels, which can also depress revenue levels.

     In addition, the Company's quarterly operating results could be materially
adversely affected by legal expenses incurred in connection with or any
judgment or settlement in the Company's ongoing stockholder legal proceedings.
See "The Company Is A Defendant in Several Lawsuits."


The Company Has a Recent History of Operating Losses and May Not Remain
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Profitable
----------

     Although the Company experienced periods of profitability in recent
quarters and was initially profitable following its reincorporation in Delaware
in October 1994 in connection with its initial public offering (the Company was
first incorporated in California in 1987), the Company has at times sustained
significant losses and may not continue to be profitable in the future.  The
Company's operating losses generally have been due to its dependence on its
optical storage business, which historically has accounted for approximately
80% of its business.  In fiscal 1998, the Company failed to timely and/or
adequately develop its integrated CD-ROM controller product and second
generation CD-RW product. Consequently, for fiscal 1999, the Company was
dependent on mature CD-ROM products and its first generation CD-RW product for
its revenue.  These mature products continued to decline in both unit sales
volume and average sales price in each successive quarter.  In the third
quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company achieved volume production with its next
generation CD-RW product.  However, given certain evolving dynamics in the CD-
RW market, including the rate of adoption of this technology, competition and
selling prices, the Company cannot accurately predict the product's impact on
operating results nor can any assurance be given that revenue from this product
will enable the Company to maintain profitability.  The Company expects that
the average sales prices for its optical storage products will continue to
decline over time and that average sales prices for each new optical storage
product will decline significantly over the life of the product.  In addition,
given the extremely competitive nature of the optical storage market, the
Company believes that gross margins for new products in its optical storage
market will be lower than historical levels.  However, the Company believes
that with the additional planned software and solution product offerings from
the Company's Optical Storage and Imaging Groups, gross margins in general will
continue to increase in the future.

     If the Company incurs losses or fails to continue profitability in the
future, this will significantly harm its business and may affect the trading
price of its common stock.

The Company's Financial Performance is Highly Dependent on the Timely and
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Successful Introduction of New Products
---------------------------------------

     The markets for the Company's products are characterized by evolving
industry standards, rapid technological change and product obsolescence. The
Company's financial performance is highly dependent upon timely and successful
execution of next generation and new products, including those from acquired
businesses. The failure to timely and successfully introduce next generation
and new products that achieve market acceptance in the future could seriously
damage the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Specifically, the Company's performance is highly dependent upon the successful
development and timely introduction of its next generation CD-RW controller,
combination DVD and CD-RW controller, MPEG-2 decoder for the DVD player market,
and embedded imaging processing solutions for the digital office market, in
particular, embedded digital color copier technology and image processing chips
for multifunction peripherals.

     In the optical storage market, particularly DVD, a variety of standards
and formats are being proposed, making it difficult to develop product to
market requirements, and making it even more difficult for the market to
develop. Product delay's in the Company's Optical Storage Group have resulted
primarily from difficulties in allocating engineering personnel among competing
projects, engineering resource limitations, and unanticipated engineering
complexity. Although the Company timely introduced its next generation CD-RW
product and refocused its Optical Storage Group on a defined product roadmap,
there can be no assurance that these or other factors will not contribute to
future delays. In the digital office market in which the Company's acquired
business competed with software products and the Company with integrated
circuits, the Company will need to address a variety of other factors related
to that market with respect to new product development. Product delays in the
past in both the Company's Imaging Group and its acquired business have
resulted from numerous factors such as changing OEM


                                      17

<PAGE>


customer product specifications, difficulties in allocating engineering
personnel among competing projects, other resource limitations, difficulties
with independent contractors, changing market or competitive requirements and
unanticipated engineering complexity. There can be no assurance that these or
other factors will not contribute to future delays; that OEM customers will
tolerate those delays; or that delayed office devices, once introduced, will
meet with market acceptance or success. Among other technological changes,
embedded PDF and color capability are rapidly emerging as market requirements
for printers and other imaging devices. Some of the Company's competitors have
the capacity to supply these solutions, and some of their solutions are well-
received in the marketplace. The Company faces the challenges of developing
products that will require greater color and image complexity capability
including web-based documents, and to work with higher performing devices in
networked environments. Any significant inability to meet these challenges with
the development of products that can effectively compete in the OEM software
and solutions market could cause future results of operations to differ
materially from current expectations.

     Due to the design complexity of the Company's products, especially with
the increased levels of integration that are required, the Company has
previously experienced delays in completing development and introduction of new
products for the optical storage and the digital office markets. In addition,
in light of the short product life cycles associated in the markets related to
acquired businesses, any delay or unanticipated difficulty associated with new
product development or introduction could result in a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

     No assurance can be given that the Company will successfully identify new
product opportunities and develop and bring new products to market, such as its
new SimpliCD software in a timely manner or that its products will be selected
for design into the products of its targeted customers. Also, there can be no
assurance that the products of the Company's customers will be successfully
introduced into the market. If the Company fails in its new product development
efforts or its products fail to achieve market acceptance, its revenues will
decline and its business, financial condition and results of operations will be
severely damaged.

The Company's Future Revenues Are Highly Dependent On Sales of Its CD-RW
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Controller Product
------------------

     The Company's future revenue generation is highly dependent on its current
and next generation CD-RW product as well as its combination DVD and CD-RW
product. The Company is no longer developing any CD-ROM controllers, but since
the early part of fiscal 1999 has been instead focusing its development efforts
on controllers for CD-RW and DVD drives. If the Company's CD-RW products fail
to achieve market acceptance, it will need other sources of revenue to offset
the previous discontinuation of sales of its CD-ROM controllers. In fiscal
2000, revenue generated from the Company's optical storage CD-ROM business
declined 94% primarily due to the lack of a next-generation integrated CD-ROM
device and revenue generated from the Company's optical storage CD-RW business
increased by 90%, compared to the previous year, primarily due to the
introduction of a new CD-RW product.  In fiscal 1999, revenue generated from
the Company's optical storage CD-ROM and CD-R/RW businesses declined 73% and
36%, respectively, compared to the previous year, primarily due to delays in
the development of the next-generation integrated CD-ROM device and CD-RW
product.

     Although the Company was a leading supplier of CD-ROM controllers, due to
product delays in its next generation CD-ROM product, the Company lost its
leadership in this market.  While the Company is currently in production with
its next generation CD-RW product with a few customers, no assurance can be
given this product or its successor will be competitive in the marketplace or
carried into production by targeted customers. In addition, even if this
product proves to be competitive and is accepted by targeted customers, there
is no assurance that the Company's customers will be successful.

     The Company also faces increased competition in the emerging CD-RW and DVD
markets in both the PC and consumer segments. In addition, the current trend
toward integrating increased functionality on the CD-RW or DVD controller
potentially adds to the development and manufacturing costs of producing the
controller. The Company's revenues and gross margins from its optical storage
controller products will be dependent on the Company's ability to introduce
integrated products for the CD-RW and DVD markets in a commercially competitive
manner.


                                      18

<PAGE>


     The decrease in the overall level of sales of, and prices for, the
Company's CD-ROM and older generation CD-RW controller product due to
introductions of newer products by competitors, the decline in demand for CD-
ROM controller products generally, product obsolescence and delays in the
Company's integrated CD-ROM controller product and its next generation CD-RW
product, have had a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations, and will continue to have that
effect if the Company fails to successfully introduce new and next generation
products to the optical storage market.

     The Company also anticipates that the royalty streams derived from OEMs'
shipments of office equipment containing the Company's imaging products, and
the sale of related products and services to manufacturers of office equipment
will account for a significant portion of its revenue for the foreseeable
future, although not as significant as CD-RW for the remainder of fiscal 2001
and possibly fiscal 2002. In order to assure that the Company will derive
future royalty streams from the shipment of OEM devices, the Company and its
OEMs are required to develop and release in a regular and timely manner new
office products with increased speed, enhanced output resolutions, reduced
memory requirements, multiple functions, and network connectivity. The
Company's OEMs are under tremendous pressure to continually shorten the
development cycles of these products, leading to increased complexity and cost
of development to the Company and its OEMs. The Company's success will depend
on, among other things:  the rate at which OEMS serving the digital office
market outsource their technology needs, market acceptance of the Company's
technology and products and the office devices of the Company's OEMs; the
ability of the Company and its OEMs to meet industry changes and market demands
in a timely manner; achievement of new design wins by the Company; successful
implementation of the Company's technology and products in new office devices
being developed by its OEMs; and successful marketing of those devices by the
OEMs. Revenues from the office equipment market will depend heavily on the
Company's ability to integrate its acquired business, Xionics Document
Technologies, successfully in order to develop complete product solutions and
compete more effectively and successfully against other suppliers and
outsourcers as well as its own OEM customers and other manufacturers.

The Company's Markets Are Intensely Competitive and Experience Rapid
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Technological Change
--------------------

     The markets in which the Company competes are intensely competitive and
are characterized by rapid technological change, declining average unit sales
prices and rapid product obsolescence. If the Company cannot successfully
respond to the technological advances of others or if its new products or
product enhancements do not achieve market acceptance, the Company's business,
operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. The
Company expects competition to increase in the future from existing competitors
and from other companies that may enter the Company's existing or future
markets with solutions that may be less costly or provide higher performance or
additional features. The Company's principal competitors in the optical storage
market are MediaTek, Toshiba and Ricoh; its principal competitors in the
digital office market are Adobe Systems, Inc., Peerless Systems Corporation,
Electronics for Imaging, Inc., and in-house, captive suppliers, and the Company
expects increased competition from the merchant market in the future. Many of
these existing competitors as well as those customers expected to compete in
the future have substantially greater financial, manufacturing, technical,
marketing, distribution and other resources, broader product lines and longer
standing relationships with customers than the Company. In addition, much of
the Companies success is dependent on the success of its OEM customers. The
Company's OEM customers in both the optical storage, and digital office markets
compete fiercely with one another for market share in a market characterized by
rapid development cycles, short product life cycles and ever-increasing
consumer demand for greater performance and functionality at reduced prices.

     The markets for most of the applications for the Company's products,
especially in the optical storage market, are characterized by intense price
competition. As the markets for these products mature and competition
increases, as has been the trend for the optical storage, the Company
anticipates that average sales prices on products will decline. If the Company
is unable to reduce costs sufficiently to offset declines in average sales
prices or is unable to successfully introduce new higher performance products
with higher average sales prices, operating results will be materially
adversely affected.

      The future growth of the digital office market is highly dependent on
OEMs' continuing to outsource an increasing portion of their product
development work. While the trend toward outsourcing on the part of the
Company's OEM customers has accelerated in recent years, any reversal of this
trend could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition, and results of operations. Similarly, significant market trends


                                      19

<PAGE>


leading to changes in the way the Company's competitors do business may enable
them to compete more effectively against the Company than they have in the
past.  These changes, if they enable competitors to compete more effectively
for business from the Company's customers, could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Additionally, changes in strategy by the Company's competitors, for example
price reductions, new product introductions or new marketing/distribution
methods, could make it more difficult for the Company to compete effectively,
cause reduced market demand for the Company's products and/or render the
Company's products obsolete.

     There can be no assurance that the Company or its OEM customers will be
able to compete successfully against current or future competitors, or that
competitive pressures faced by it and its customers will not result in reduced
revenues and profit margins and otherwise seriously harm its business,
financial condition and results of operations.

The Company May Be Unable To Protect Its Intellectual Property and Proprietary
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rights, Which May Affect Its Ability to Compete
-----------------------------------------------

     The Company's ability to compete is affected by its ability to protect its
proprietary information. The Company considers its technology to be proprietary
and relies on a combination of patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secret
laws, confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements to protect its
intellectual property rights. However, these measures afford only limited
protection.  The Company's competitors may be able to effectively design around
the Company's patents or independently develop competing software.  There can
be no assurance that any of the Company's patents will not be challenged,
invalidated or circumvented, or that the rights granted under those patents
will provide competitive advantages to the Company.  Moreover, while the
Company holds or has applied for patents relating to the design of its
products, some of its products are based in part on standards, for which it
does not hold patents or other intellectual property rights or under terms
dictated by the Standards Body and may be forced to grant licenses under its
patents.  In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries in which the
Company's products are or may be manufactured or sold, including various
countries in Asia, may not protect the Company's products or intellectual
property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States and thus
make the possibility of piracy of the Company's technology and products more
likely.  There can be no assurance that the steps taken by the Company to
protect its proprietary information will be adequate to prevent
misappropriation of its technology or that the Company's competitors will not
independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or
superior to the Company's technology. Moreover, the Company intends to seek
additional international and United States patents on its technology. There can
be no assurance that additional patents will issue from any of the Company's
pending applications or applications in preparation, or be issued in those
countries selected by the Company where the Company's products can be sold, or
that any claims allowed from pending applications or applications in
preparation will be of sufficient scope or strength to provide meaningful
protection or any commercial advantage to the Company.

     The Company also generally enters into confidentiality agreements with its
employees and consultants and confidentiality and license agreements with its
customers and potential customers, and limits access to and distribution of the
source and object code of its software and other proprietary information. With
respect to its page description language software and drivers for the digital
office market and in limited circumstances with respect to firmware and drivers
for its optical storage products, the Company grants licenses that give its
customers access to and restricted use of the source code of the Company's
software which increases the likelihood of misappropriation or misuse of the
Company's technology. Accordingly, despite the Company's precautions, it may be
possible for unauthorized third parties to copy certain portions of the
Company's technology or to obtain and use information that the Company regards
as proprietary. There can be no assurance that the steps the Company takes will
be adequate to prevent misappropriation of its technology or to provide an
adequate remedy in the event of a breach or misappropriation by others.

     Furthermore, the Company may initiate claims or litigation against third
parties, in addition to those referenced herein (see Item 1, Note 4
"Contingencies"), for infringement of the Company's proprietary rights or to
establish the validity of its proprietary rights and in the past has incurred
significant legal expenses in connection with claims of this type it has
initiated. Any litigation by or against the Company could result in significant
expense to the Company and divert the efforts of its technical and management
personnel, whether or not that litigation results in a

                                      20


<PAGE>


favorable determination for the Company. In the event of an adverse result in
any litigation, the Company could be required to pay substantial damages, cease
the manufacture, use and sale of infringing products, expend significant
resources to develop non-infringing technology, discontinue the use of certain
processes or obtain licenses to the infringing technology. There can be no
assurance that the Company would be successful in developing new technology or
that those licenses would be available on reasonable terms, or at all, and any
development or license could require the Company's expenditures of substantial
time and other resources.

The Company May Be Unable to Obtain Third Party Intellectual Property Rights
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
and/or May Be Liable For Significant Damages
--------------------------------------------

     Certain technology used in the Company's products is licensed from third
parties, and in connection with these licenses, the Company is required to
fulfill confidentiality obligations and, in some cases, pay royalties. Some of
the Company's products require various types of copy protection software that
the Company must license from third parties. Should the Company lose its rights
to, or be unable to obtain the necessary copy protection software, the Company
would be unable to sell and market certain of its products. The Company's
agreements with third parties often have no specified term and may be
terminated by either party in the event of breach by the other. The Company's
business could be adversely affected by the loss for any reason of these third-
party agreements. Given the trend to include increasing levels of functionality
on a chip, in the future it may be necessary or desirable for the Company to
seek additional licenses to intellectual property rights held by third parties
or purchase products manufactured and/or sold by third parties with respect to
some or all of its product offerings. There can be no assurance that those
licenses or purchases will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if
at all. The inability of the Company to enter into those license arrangements
on acceptable terms or to maintain its current licenses on acceptable terms
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.

     In addition, the semiconductor industry is characterized by vigorous
protection and pursuit of intellectual property rights, which has resulted in
significant, often protracted and expensive litigation. The Company or its
foundries may, from time to time, be notified of claims that the Company may be
infringing patents or other intellectual property rights owned by third
parties. If it is necessary or desirable, the Company may seek licenses under
those patents or other intellectual property rights. However, there can be no
assurance that licenses will be offered or that the terms of any offered
licenses will be acceptable to the Company. The failure to obtain a license
from a third party for technology used by the Company could cause the Company
to incur substantial liabilities and suspend the manufacture of products or the
use by the Company's foundries of processes requiring the technology.

     The Company has historically indemnified its customers for certain costs
and damages of patent infringement in circumstances where the Company's product
is the factor creating the customer's infringement exposure. This practice
generally excludes coverage in circumstances where infringement arises out of
the combination of the Company's products with products of others or where
infringement arises based on modifications made by the customer to the
Company's products. This indemnification practice, however, could have a
material adverse effect on the results of operations.

     Although patent disputes in the semiconductor industry have often been
settled through cross-licensing arrangements, the Company may not be able in
any or every instance, to settle an alleged patent infringement claim through a
cross-licensing arrangement. The Company, while having expanded its patent
portfolio over the years, still has a more limited patent portfolio than many
of its competitors. If a successful claim is made against the Company or its
customers and a license is not made available to the Company on commercially
reasonable terms or the Company is required to pay substantial damages or
awards, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations
would be materially adversely affected.

The Company Depends on Third Party Foundries and Vendors to Manufacture
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Products
--------

     The Company contracts with independent foundries to manufacture a majority
of its products and with independent vendors to assemble and test these
products. The Company's failure to adequately manage its relationships with
these foundries and vendors could negatively impact its ability to manufacture
and sell its products and its results of operations.


                                      21

<PAGE>

     The Company relies on its foundries to allocate to the Company a portion
of their foundry capacity sufficient to meet its needs to produce products of
acceptable quality and with acceptable manufacturing yield and to deliver
products to the Company in a timely manner. These foundries fabricate products
for other companies and some manufacture products of their own design. If these
foundries fail or are unable to satisfy the Company's product, quality and
other requirements, the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operation could suffer.

     The Company also relies on third-party subcontractors to assemble and test
its products. The failure of any of these subcontractors to meet the Company's
production requirements could cause the Company's business, financial condition
and operating results to suffer.

     The Company's reliance on independent manufacturers and third party
assembly and testing vendors involves a number of additional risks, including:

     o The loss of any foundry as a supplier;

     o Inability to expand foundry capacity in a period of increased demand for
       the Company's products;

     o Inability to obtain timely and adequate deliveries from current or
       future suppliers;

     o Delays in shipments of the Company's products;

     o Disruption of operations at any of the Company's manufacturing
       facilities;

     o Product defects and the difficulty of detecting and remedying product
       defects;

     o The unavailability of, or interruption in access to, certain process
       technologies; and

     o Reduced control over delivery schedules, quality assurance and costs.

     As the Company generally does not use multiple services of supply for its
products, the consequences of these factors occurring is magnified.

The Company's Failure to Accurately Forecast Demand for Its Products Could
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Negatively Impact Its Results of Operations
-------------------------------------------

     Under its foundry agreements, the Company is required to place non-
cancelable orders and purchase its products on an approximately three-month
rolling basis. The Company's customers, on the other hand, generally place
purchase orders with the Company less than four weeks prior to delivery that
may be rescheduled or under certain circumstances may be cancelled, without
significant penalty. This limits the Company's ability to react to fluctuations
in demand for its products. If the Company overestimates the product necessary
to fill orders, or fails to foresee a technology change that could render a
product obsolete, it will build excess inventories which could harm its gross
margins and operating results. If the Company underestimates the product
necessary to fill orders, it may not be able to obtain an adequate supply of
products which could harm its revenues. The Company has experienced inventory
write-offs of its optical storage products in the past primarily due to
unforeseen and rapid changes in its customers' demand, in particular speed
changes, and consequently experienced rapid product obsolescence.

     Product supply and demand fluctuations common to the semiconductor
industry are historically characterized by periods of manufacturing capacity
shortages immediately followed by periods of overcapacity, which are caused by
the addition of manufacturing capacity in large increments.  No assurance can
be given that the Company can or will achieve timely, cost-effective access to
that capacity when needed.

The Company Derives A Large Portion of Its Revenues from International Sales,
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Depends on Foreign Subcontractors and Is Subject to the Risks of Doing Business
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
in Foreign Countries
--------------------

     A large portion of the Company's revenues are derived from international
sales. International sales, principally to Korea, Japan, Singapore and Europe,
accounted for approximately 75%, 86% and 92%, of the Company's net revenues for
fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company also depends on foreign
subcontractors for the manufacture of its products. Most of the Company's
foreign sales and purchases are negotiated in US dollars, although invoicing is
often done in local currency. As a result, the Company may be subject to the
risks of currency fluctuations in the foreign countries in which it does
business.

     The Company also is subject to other risks of conducting business outside
of the United States. These risks include:

     o Unexpected changes in, or impositions of, foreign legislative or
       regulatory requirements;

     o Delays resulting from difficulty in obtaining export licenses for
       certain technology;

     o Tariffs, quotas and other trade barriers and restrictions;

     o Longer payment cycles;

     o Greater difficulty in collecting accounts receivable;

     o Potentially adverse taxes and adverse tax consequences;

     o The burdens of complying with a variety of foreign laws;

     o Political, social and economic instability;

     o Potential hostilities;

     o Changes in diplomatic and trade relationships; and

     o Fluctuations in foreign currencies.

     The Company's significant investment in foundry capacity in Taiwan is a
prime example of its exposure to these types of risks. Due to this investment,
the Company is subject to the risk of political instability in Taiwan,
including the potential for conflict between Taiwan and the People's Republic
of China. In addition, the fact that China is the primary market for the
Company's consumer DVD products is another example. Any political or economic
instability in China could significantly reduce the demand for these products.

     In addition, the Company has several significant OEM customers in Japan,
South Korea, and other parts of Asia.  The Company faces uncertainty in these
customers' continued willingness or ability to do business with the Company in
the future or their success in developing and launching in particular office
devices containing the Company's products.

     While these factors or the impact of these factors are difficult to
forecast, any one or more of these factors could adversely affect the Company's
operations in the future or require the Company to modify its current business
practices.

The Company Depends on a Limited Number of Customers for a Substantial Portion
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of Its Revenues, and a Loss Of, Or A Significant Reduction in Purchases By,
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Current Major Customers Would Significantly Reduce Its Revenues
---------------------------------------------------------------


                                      23

<PAGE>


     The Company has derived a substantial portion of its net revenues from a
limited number of customers and expects this concentration to continue. For
fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998 sales to the Company's top ten customers accounted
for approximately 78%, 70% and 81% of the Company's net revenues, respectively.
In addition, the Company has experienced significant changes from year to year
in the composition of its major customer base and the Company believes this
pattern of significant change may continue. Customers generally purchase the
Company's products pursuant to short-term purchase orders, and the Company has
no long-term purchase agreements with any of its customers. The loss of, or
significant reduction in purchases by, current major customers of the Company
would significantly reduce its revenues.

The Company Is A Defendant in Several Lawsuits
----------------------------------------------

     The Company and various of its current and former officers and directors
are parties to a consolidated class action lawsuit filed on behalf of all
persons who purchased or acquired the Company's common stock for the period
from July 27, 1995 to May 22, 1996, alleging state securities law and other
violations. Additionally, various of the Company's current and former officers
and directors are defendants in three consolidated derivative actions which
allege a breach of fiduciary duty and a claim under California securities laws.
Based on its current information, the Company believes the class action and
derivative suits to be without merit and will defend its position vigorously.
Although it is reasonably possible the Company may incur losses upon resolution
of these claims, an estimate of loss or range of loss cannot be made. No
provision for any liability that may result upon adjudication has been made in
the Company's financial statements. The Company is also a party to various
other legal proceedings, including a number of patent-related matters, and
counterclaims filed by the named defendants in the pending patent suits. In
connection with these lawsuits, management time has been, and will continue to
be, expended and the Company has incurred, and expects to continue to incur,
substantial legal and other expenses.

The Company Must Continue To Make Significant Capital Investments, And The
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inability to Raise the Additional Capital Necessary to Fund These Investments
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Acceptable Terms Could Seriously Harm the Company's Business
---------------------------------------------------------------

     In order to remain competitive, the Company must continue to make
investments in new facilities and capital equipment, and significant amounts of
capital additions could be required in subsequent years. Additionally, in order
to obtain an adequate supply of wafers, especially wafers manufactured using
advanced process techniques, the Company has entered into and will continue to
consider various possible transactions, including various "take or pay"
contracts that commit the Company to purchase specified quantities of wafers
over extended periods. Manufacturing arrangements such as these may require
substantial capital investment, which may require the Company to seek
additional financing. The Company believes that existing liquid resources and
funds generated from operations, if any, combined with its ability to borrow
funds will be adequate to meet its operating and capital requirements and
obligations into the foreseeable future. The Company believes that the level of
a Company's financial resources is an important factor in its industry.
Accordingly, the Company may from time to time seek additional equity or debt
financing. There can be no assurance that those funds will be available on
terms acceptable to the Company when needed. Any future equity financing will
also lead to dilution to existing shareholders.

The Company May Make Future Acquisitions or Enter into Joint Ventures That May
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not Be Successful
-----------------

     In the future, the Company may acquire additional businesses, products and
technologies, or enter into joint venture arrangements, that could complement
or expand its business. Acquisitions involve numerous risks including:

     o Difficulties in integration of the operations, technologies, and
       products of the acquired companies;

     o Diverting management's attention from normal daily operations of the
       business;

     o Entering markets in which there is limited direct prior experience and
       where competitors have stronger market positions;

     o Coordination of sales, marketing and research and development;

     o Potential loss of key employees; and



                                      24

<PAGE>


     o The maintenance of corporate culture, controls, procedures and policies.

     In addition, investments in emerging technology and emerging technology
companies present risks of loss of value of one or more of the investments due
to failure of the technology to gain the predicted market acceptance. Also, any
future acquisitions could require the Company to issue dilutive equity
securities, incur debt or contingent liabilities, amortize goodwill and other
intangibles, or write-off in-process research and development and other
acquisition-related expenses. Further, the Company may not be able to integrate
acquired businesses, products or technologies with its existing operations. If
the Company is unable to fully integrate an acquired business, product or
technology, it may not receive the intended benefits of that acquisition.

The Company Will Depend On Key Personnel To Manage Its Business, and the Loss
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
of Any Key Personnel Could Seriously Harm Its Business
------------------------------------------------------

     The Company's future performance depends, to a significant degree, on the
retention and contribution of members of the Company's senior management as
well as other key personnel including highly skilled engineering and technical
employees.  Recently, the Company layed off a number of its employees as part
of a restructuring to more effectively align the Company's resources to its
strategic objectives.  Specifically, it is important for the Company to retain
the services of Young K. Sohn, the Company's current president and chief
executive officer. Competition for technical, financial and operational
personnel is intense because of the limited number of candidates and the growth
of high-tech companies, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to attract and retain qualified replacements or additional technical or
operational personnel.  There is no assurance that the Company will be able to
find suitable replacements for any senior management personnel who may leave
the Company.

Provisions in The Company's Charter Documents And Rights Plan Could Make It
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
More Difficult To Acquire The Company And May Reduce The Market Price Of The
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Company's Stock
---------------

     The Company's board of directors has the authority to issue up to 2.0
million shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of those
shares without any further vote or action by the stockholders. The rights of
the holders of common stock, may be subject to, and may be adversely affected
by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the
future. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a change of control of the Company without further
action by the stockholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights
of the holders of common stock. The Company has no present plans to issue
shares of preferred stock. Further, certain provisions of the Company's charter
documents, including provisions eliminating the ability of stockholders to take
action by written consent and limiting the ability of stockholders to raise
matters at a meeting of stockholders without giving advance notice, may have
the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or management of the
Company, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of the stock.
In addition, the Company's charter documents do not permit cumulative voting
and provide that its board of directors will be divided into three classes,
each of which serves for a staggered three-year term, which may also make it
more difficult for a third-party to gain control of the board of directors.

     In addition, 400,000 shares of the Company's preferred stock are
designated as series A junior participating preferred stock under a rights
plan, commonly referred to as a "poison pill". Under certain circumstances
involving a proposed change-in-control of the Company, the rights related to
the series A junior participating preferred stock may be triggered, the effect
of which may delay or prevent a third party from gaining control of or
acquiring the Company.

Pricing Issues
--------------

     The willingness of prospective customers to design the Company's products
into their products depends, to a significant extent, upon the ability of the
Company to have product available at the appropriate market window and to price
its products at a level that is cost effective for such customers. The markets
for most of the applications for the Company's products, especially in the
consumer electronics market and the optical storage market, are characterized
by intense price competition. As the markets for the Company's products mature
and competition increases, as has been the trend for the optical storage and
digital video disk segment of the consumer electronics market,



                                      25


<PAGE>


the Company anticipates that average sales prices ("ASPs") on its products will
decline. The Company continually attempts to pursue cost reductions, including
process enhancements, in order to maintain acceptable gross profit margins.
Gross profit margins also vary reflecting the impact of changes in the general
condition of the economy, capacity utilization levels in the semiconductor
industry, customer acceptance of new technologies and products, product
functionality and capabilities, shifts in product mix, manufacturing yields and
the effect of ongoing manufacturing cost reduction activities. If the Company
is unable to reduce its costs sufficiently to offset declines in ASPs or is
unable to successfully introduce new higher performance products with higher
ASPs, the Company's operating results will be materially adversely affected. In
addition, if the Company experiences yield or other production problems or
shortages of supply that increase its manufacturing costs, fails to reduce its
manufacturing costs, or fails to utilize its prepaid deposits with TSMC, the
result would be a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and operating results.

Limited Customer Base
---------------------

     The Company has derived a substantial portion of its net revenues from a
limited number of customers and expects this concentration to continue. These
customers were all purchasers of the Company's CD-ROM and CD-RW products.
(Please see the discussion above under the heading "Dependence on CD-ROM and
CD-RW Controller Product" for a description of the decline in revenues the
Company has experienced in connection with sales of our CD-ROM product.)  At
December 31, 2000, three customers accounted for approximately 24%, 15% and 13%
of accounts receivable, respectively.  At June 30, 2000, three customers
accounted for approximately 17%, 11% and 11% of accounts receivable,
respectively.  In addition, the Company has experienced significant changes
from year to year in the composition of its major customer base.   The Company
believes this pattern may continue. Customers generally purchase the Company's
products pursuant to short-term purchase orders, and the Company has no long-
term purchase agreements with any of its customers. The loss of or significant
reduction in purchases by, current major customers of the Company would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
operating results.



ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     Most of the Company's foreign sales are negotiated in US dollars; however,
invoicing is often done in local currency. As a result, the Company may be
subject to the risks of currency fluctuations.  Assets and liabilities which
are denominated in non-functional currencies are remeasured into the functional
currency on a monthly basis and the resulting gain or loss is recorded within
non-operating income in the statement of operations. Many of the Company's non-
functional currency receivables and payables are hedged through managing net
asset positions, product pricing and other means.  The Company's strategy is to
minimize its non-functional currency net assets or net liabilities in its
foreign subsidiaries.  The Company's policy is not to speculate in financial
instruments for profit on the exchange rate price fluctuations, trade in
currencies for which there are not underlying exposures, or enter into trades
for any currency to intentionally increase the underlying exposure.  As of
December 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000, the Company had foreign currency exchange
contracts to exchange Yen for approximately $3.2 million and $2.4 million,
respectively.  If foreign currency rates fluctuate by 10% from rates at
December 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000, the effect on the Company's consolidated
financial statements would not be material.  The Company uses financial
instruments, including local currency debt arrangements, to offset the gains or
losses of the financial instruments against gains or losses on the underlying
operations cash flows or investments.  However, there can be no assurance that
there will not be a material impact in the future.

     The Company's cash equivalents and short-term investments ("investments")
are exposed to financial market risk due to fluctuation in interest rates,
which may affect its interest income and the fair values of its investments.
The Company manages the exposure to financial market risk by performing ongoing
evaluation of its investment portfolio and investing in short-term investment
grade corporate securities and U.S. government and other agencies' obligations
which mature within the next 24 months.  In addition, the Company does not use
investments for trading or other speculative purposes.  Not withstanding the
forgoing, due to the divestiture of the Broadband business in January 2000, the
Company is in the unusual position of also holding an investment in 293,794
shares of Conexant Systems, Inc. common stock which had an original book value
of $68.05 per share.  This investment is classified as being held as an
available-for-sale security, and accordingly,


                                      26



<PAGE>


the reduction in the market value of the investment at December 31, 2000 of
approximately $15.5 million is included as an item of accumulated comprehensive
loss.  This is a highly volatile equity security with market valuations in the
range of $12.81 to $132.00 since mid January 2000.  The Company intends to
convert these shares into cash over time.

     Due to the short-term maturities of its investments, the carrying value
approximates the fair value.  If market rates were to increase immediately and
uniformly by 10% from levels as of December 31, 2000, the decline in the fair
value of the portfolio would not be material.  Further, the Company has the
ability to hold its fixed income investments until maturity and, therefore, the
Company would not expect to recognize such an adverse impact in income or cash
flows.


                                      27

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Company and various of its current and former officers and directors
are parties to a consolidated class action lawsuit filed on behalf of all
persons who purchased or acquired the Company's common stock (excluding the
defendants and parties related to them) for the period July 27, 1995 through
May 22, 1996. This state court proceeding, designated IN RE OAK TECHNOLOGY
SECURITIES LITIGATION, Master File No. CV758510 was filed in Santa Clara County
Superior Court in Santa Clara, California. The lawsuit originally named as
defendants several of the Company's venture capital fund investors, two of its
investment bankers and two securities analysts. The plaintiffs alleged
violations of California securities laws and statutory deceit provisions as
well as breaches of fiduciary duty and abuse of control. The plaintiffs sought
unspecified monetary damages. After several rounds of demurrers, the court
dismissed all claims except the California Corporations Code Sections
25400/25500 cause of action against the Company, four officers and the
Company's investment bankers and securities analysts.

     On July 16, 1998, the court provisionally certified a national class of
all persons who purchased the Company's stock during the class period. The
class was provisionally certified with the order held in abeyance pending
resolution of the question of whether a nationwide class may bring a California
Corporations Code Sections 25400/25500 claim. This issue was resolved in favor
of allowing such nationwide class actions by the California Supreme Court, Case
No. 5058723, on January 4, 1999, in the DIAMOND MULTIMEDIA SECURITIES
LITIGATION appeal by the California Supreme Court. On August 5, 2000 the court
granted Company's motion for summary judgment and entered judgment in favor of
the Company. The plaintiffs have filed a notice of their intent to appeal the
court's decision. Based on its current information, the Company believes this
suit to be without merit and will defend its position vigorously. Although it
is possible the court's ruling may be overturned on appeal and the Company may
incur a loss upon an adverse conclusion of these claims, an estimate of any
such loss cannot be made.

     Additionally, various of the Company's current and former officers and
Directors are defendants in three consolidated derivative actions pending in
Santa Clara County Superior Court in Santa Clara, California, entitled IN RE
OAK TECHNOLOGY DERIVATIVE ACTION, Master File No. CV758510. This lawsuit, which
asserts a claim for breach of fiduciary duty and a claim under California
securities law based upon the officers' and Directors' trading in securities of
the Company, has been stayed pending resolution of the above described class
actions.  The plaintiffs are seeking monetary damages, equitable relief and an
accounting for the defendants' sales of shares of the Company's common stock.
Based on its current information, the Company believes the suits to be without
merit and will defend its position vigorously. Although it is reasonably
possible the Company may incur a loss upon conclusion of these claims, an
estimate of any such loss cannot be made.

     If any of the above pending actions are decided adversely to the Company,
it would likely have a material adverse affect on the Company's financial
condition and results of operations.

     On July 21, 1997, the Company filed a complaint with the ITC based on the
Company's belief that certain Asian companies were violating U.S. trade laws by
the unlicensed importing or selling of certain CD-ROM controllers that
infringed one or more of the Company's United States patents. The complaint
seeks a ban on the importation into the United States of the named respondent's
infringing CD-ROM controllers or products containing such infringing CD-ROM
controllers. A formal investigative proceeding was instituted by the ITC
(Investigation No. 337-TA-401) on August 19, 1997, naming as respondents:
Winbond Electronics Corporation (Winbond); Winbond Electronics North America
Corporation; Wearnes Technology (Private) Ltd.; Wearnes Electronics Malaysia
Sendirian Berhad; and Wearnes Peripheal International (Pte.).

     On March 16, 1998, the Company and Winbond entered into a settlement
agreement pursuant to which Winbond obtained a nonexclusive, royalty-bearing
license to the Company's U.S. patents No.'s 5,535,327 and 5,581,715 and the
Company obtained a nonexclusive, royalty-free license to several Winbond
patents. The settlement agreement provided that the parties would jointly seek
termination and dismissal of investigation No. 337-TA-401 as to Winbond and its
four affiliated companies: Winbond Electronics North America Corporation;
Wearnes Technology (Private) Ltd.; Wearnes Electronics Malaysia Sendirian
Berhad; and Wearnes Peripheal International (Pte.). On April 15, 1998,
Investigation No. 337-TA-401 was ordered terminated as to all parties.


                                      28

<PAGE>


     As originally filed with the ITC, the Company's complaint also identified
as proposed respondents: United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC); Lite-On
Group; Lite-On Technology Corp.; Behavior Tech Computer Corp. and Behavior Tech
Computer (USA) Corp. Prior to the ITC's institution of the formal investigation
proceeding, the Company and UMC entered into a settlement agreement, effective
July 31, 1997, pursuant to which UMC agreed to cease and desist the manufacture
and/or importation into the United States of its specified CD-ROM controllers,
except under certain limited conditions which expired on January 31, 1998. The
settlement agreement additionally provided for the withdrawal of the Company's
ITC complaint against UMC and the above-named Lite-On and Behavior Tech
companies. In September 1997, October 1997, February 1998 and April 1998, the
Company received $2.6 million, $4.7 million, $0.7 million and $2.6 million,
respectively, pursuant to this settlement. Proceeds from the settlement were
recorded as miscellaneous income and included in non-operating income for the
periods ended September 30, 1997, December 31, 1997, March 31, 1998 and June
30, 1998, respectively.

     On October 27, 1997, the Company filed a complaint in the United States
District Court, Northern District of California against UMC for breach of
contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing and fraud based
on UMC's breach of the settlement agreement arising out of the ITC action, Case
No. C-97-20959. Together with the filing of the complaint, the Company filed a
motion for a preliminary injunction against UMC, seeking to enjoin UMC from
selling the CD-ROM controllers that were the subject of the ITC action and
related settlement agreement, through or to a UMC-affiliated, Taiwanese entity
called MediaTek. On February 23, 1998, the federal court judge denied the
Company's request for a preliminary injunction based on the court's findings
that there was no evidence that UMC was presently engaged in the manufacture of
CD-ROM controllers or other products covered by the settlement agreement. On
December 24, 1997, UMC answered the Company's complaint and counterclaimed by
asserting causes of action for recission, restitution, fraudulent concealment,
mistake, lack of mutuality, interference and declaratory judgment of non-
infringement, invalidity and unenforceability of the Oak patent that was the
subject of the original ITC action filed against UMC. The Company believes
these counterclaims to be without merit and will vigorously defend its patent.
Both the Company and UMC seek compensatory and punitive damages. In addition,
the Company seeks permanent injunctive relief. On June 11, 1998, this case was
consolidated for all purposes with a related case brought against the Company
by MediaTek (described below) under Case No. C-97-20959. On the same date,
pursuant to UMC's request, the federal court judge ordered the consolidated
action stayed under 28 U.S.C. Section 1659, based on the judge's conclusion
that the civil action involves the same issues involved in Investigation No.
337-TA-409 before the International Trade Commission, initiated by Oak
(described below). The stay was to be lifted upon final resolution of
Investigation No. 337-TA-409; however, the judge has ordered that the
consolidated action continue stayed pending the resolution of the parties
appeal of the ITC ruling to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. (Described
below.)

     In a related action to the lawsuit that was commenced by the Company
against UMC (described above), on December 19, 1997, MediaTek, a UMC
affiliated, Taiwanese entity, filed a complaint in the United States District
Court, Northern District of California, against the Company for declaratory
judgment of non-infringement, invalidity and unenforceability of the Oak patent
that was the subject of the original ITC action against UMC, and intentional
interference with prospective economic advantage, Case No. C-97-21126. MediaTek
seeks compensatory damages of not less than $10 million and punitive damages.
The Company filed its answer on January 8, 1998, denying all the allegations.
The Company believes the suit to be without merit and will vigorously defend
its patent. On June 11, 1998, this case was consolidated for all purposes with
a related case brought by the Company against UMC (described above) under Case
No. C-97-20959. On the same date, pursuant to UMC's request, the federal court
judge ordered the consolidated action stayed under 28 U.S.C. Section 1659,
based on the judge's conclusion that the civil action involves the same issues
involved in Investigation No. 337-TA-409 before the International Trade
Commission, initiated by Oak (described below). The stay was to be lifted upon
final resolution of Investigation No. 337-TA-409; however, the judge has
ordered that the consolidated action continue stayed pending the resolution of
the parties appeal of the ITC ruling to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.
(Described below.)

     On April 7, 1998, the Company filed a new complaint with the ITC alleging
that five Asian companies are violating U.S. trade laws by the unlicensed
importing or selling of CD-ROM drive controllers that infringe a United States
patent owned by the Company. The Company's complaint is asserted against United
Microelectronics Corp., MediaTek, Inc., Lite-On Group, Lite-On Technology Corp.
and AOpen, Inc. In its complaint, the Company requests the ITC to investigate
the five above-named companies and to enter an order barring imports into the
United States of their allegedly infringing CD-ROM controllers and products
containing them, including CD-ROM drives and personal computers. A formal
investigative proceeding was instituted by the ITC (Investigation No. 337-TA-
409) on


                                      29


<PAGE>


May 8, 1998 naming as respondents United Microelectronics Corp., MediaTek,
Inc., Lite-On Technology Corp. and AOpen, Inc. The following respondents, all
Taiwanese drive manufacturers, were later added to the proceeding pursuant to
an Initial Determination by the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) supervising the
Investigation following a motion brought by the Company on August 6, 1998 to
add these respondents: Actima Technology Corp., ASUSTek Computer, Inc.,
Behavior Tech Computer Corp., Delta Electronics, Inc. Momitsu Multi Media
Technologies, Pan-International Industrial Corp. and Ultima Electronics Corp.
On August 28, 1998, the ALJ entered an Initial Determination that the
investigation be terminated as to respondent UMC. On September 4, 1998, the
Company filed a petition with the Commission for review of the Initial
Determination. On October 7, 1998, the Commission reversed the Initial
Determination of the ALJ as the Commission determined that the Company's
complaint against UMC does state an unfair trade practices claim under Section
337 of the Tariff Act. On December 23, 1998, the ALJ issued another Initial
Determination terminating the investigation as to respondent UMC for a second
time. On December 31, 1998, the Company filed a petition with the Commission
for review of the Initial Determination. On February 3, 1999, the Commission
reversed the Initial Determination of the ALJ for a second time on the grounds
that the Company's complaint against UMC does state an unfair trade practices
claim under Section 337 of the Tariff Act. On May 10, 1999, the ALJ issued
another Initial Determination terminating the investigation as to respondent
UMC for a third time, finding that UMC's activities were licensed. On May 17,
1999, the Company filed a petition with the Commission for review of the
Initial Determination and on June 28, 1999, the Commission determined to review
the Initial Determination.

     Trial before the ALJ as to all respondents except UMC commenced on January
11, 1999 and concluded on January 28, 1999.  On May 14, 1999, the ALJ entered
an Initial Determination that no unfair trade practices were committed by
Mediatek under Section 337 of the Tariff Act. On May 24, 1999, the Company
filed a petition requesting the Commission to review the Initial Determination
and on June 28, 1999 the Commission determined to review it. On September 27,
1999, the Commission affirmed the ALJ's finding that there were no unfair trade
practices committed by MediaTek under Section 337 of the Tariff Act as the
Commission determined that there was no infringement of the Company's US Patent
No. 5,581,715. On this same date, the Commission also reversed the ALJ's
findings that the Company's patent was invalid and unenforceable and held that
the Company's US Patent No. 5,581,715 was valid and enforceable. The Commission
took no position on the ALJ's Initial Determination terminating UMC from the
investigation.

     On February 24, 2000, the Company appealed the Commission's ruling that no
unfair trade practices were committed by MediaTek under Section 337 of the
Tariff Act to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. No decision is expected to
be rendered by the Federal Circuit of Appeals for twelve to eighteen months
from the time of appeal. In connection with this proceeding, the Company will
continue to incur legal fees and other expenses.

     If any of the above pending actions with respect to UMC and MediaTek are
decided adversely to the Company, it would likely have a material adverse
affect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
