In addition, we implemented a reduction in force in the fourth quarter of 2003. The terminated employees were granted one-time termination benefits. The total amount of these benefits was approximately $916 and was expensed in the fourth quarter of 2003.
We also subleased approximately 4,000 square feet of our California office as a result of the restructuring. We included the present value of the difference between the future minimum lease payments and the non-cancelable sublease rentals in restructuring expense during the fourth quarter of 2003. This amount totaled $188.
We did not incur any amounts related to this restructuring in 2004 and we did not have any material amounts accrued related to the restructuring at December 31, 2004 or December 31, 2003.
In-process research and development expense totaling $24,342 in 2002 represents the discounted future cash flows from research and development projects in progress, but not yet completed, at the time of our acquisitions of nDSP in January of 2002 and Jaldi in September 2002.
Detail of stock-based compensation and amortization of assembled workforce is as follows:
We use the accelerated method of expense recognition for stock-based compensation. Under this method more expense is recognized in earlier periods. This led, in part, to the decrease in stock-based compensation from 2003 to 2004. The decrease was also attributable to additional expense recognized in 2003 for modifications that we made to certain stock options granted to employees who were terminated during our restructuring in the fourth quarter of 2003. The increase in stock-based compensation from 2002 to 2003 is also attributable to the modifications that were made in 2003.
We recorded an assembled workforce asset as a result of the Jaldi asset acquisition in September 2002. The assembled workforce asset is being amortized on a straight line basis over 36 months.
Interest income, net includes interest income earned on cash equivalents and short and long-term marketable securities, interest expense related to our 1.75% convertible debentures and amortization of our debt issuance costs which have been capitalized and are included in long term assets on the balance sheet. The debt issuance costs are being amortized over seven years.
Interest income was $3,823, $1,188 and $2,349 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Interest expense was $1,609, $11 and $74 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Amortization of debt issuance costs was $472 for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Interest income increased from 2003 to 2004 due to the investment of the proceeds from the issuance of our convertible debentures. The decrease in interest income from 2002 to 2003 was attributable to lower yields on invested balances. The increase in interest expense in 2004 is attributable to the issuance of the 1.75% convertible debentures.
Provision for (recovery of) income taxes
We recorded income tax expense of $7,990 for the year ended December 31, 2004. Tax expense is lower than the expected expense based on the statutory rates due to several permanent differences, but primarily relating to federal and state research and experimentation tax credits. The tax benefit of these items is partially offset by an increase in the federal tax rate from 34% to 35% along with contingent amounts established for penalties and interest associated with additional tax potentially due in foreign jurisdictions.
We recorded an income tax benefit of $907 in 2003. The tax benefit exceeded the expected benefit based on the statutory rates due to several permanent differences including, but not limited to, federal and state research and experimentation tax credits, stock-based compensation expense and amortization of purchased developed technology. The tax benefit of these items is partially offset by an increase in the valuation allowance against net operating loss carryforwards at Jaldi, due to the implementation of a research and development contract between Pixelworks and the subsidiary.
We recorded a provision for income taxes in 2002 of $880 despite the recognition of a pretax book loss. This was attributable to certain large non-cash expenses that were recognized for book purposes but were not deductible for tax purposes. Because these items were not tax deductible, we had taxable income in 2002. The large non-cash expenses that were not tax deductible included in-process research and development expense and amortization of purchased developed technology.
As of December 31, 2004, we had generated deductible temporary differences and operating loss and research and experimentation tax credit carryforwards. We have approximately $14,764, $24,254 and $6,432 of operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income and approximately $4,259, $3,255 and $500 of research and experimentation tax credit carryforwards to offset future tax for federal, state and foreign purposes, respectively. The carryforwards expire on various dates through 2024, if not used. Utilization of a portion of net operating losses and credits is subject to an annual limitation due to the ownership change provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions.
We have established a valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets, including net operating loss and tax credit carryfowards. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. At December 31, 2004 we had $6,598 of net deferred tax assets on our balance sheet. Accordingly, we may record additional allowances in the future. A portion of the benefit of the operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, when utilized, will result in a decrease to goodwill.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents and short and long-term marketable securities
At December 31, 2004 we had cash and cash equivalents of $32,585, short and long-term marketable securities of $239,696 and working capital of $209,653. Cash provided by operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2004 was $27,561 compared to $11,029 and $6,680 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2004 was $161,745. This compares to $15,053 used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2003 and $33,846 used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2002. Cash used in investing activities during these three years consists primarily of cash used to purchase marketable securities, cash used to purchase property and equipment and other assets and investments, and payments on accrued liabilities related to equipment and other asset purchases. These expenditures are offset in part by maturities of marketable securities in all three years.
Cash provided by financing activities was $150,279 for the year ended December 31, 2004. This compares to $2,937 provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2003 and $1,455 provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2002. Cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2004 includes $145,500 in net proceeds from the issuance of convertible subordinated debentures (see capital resources below). It also includes proceeds from the issuance of common stock from the
25
exercise of stock options and proceeds from the issuance of common stock through the employee stock purchase plan in the amount of $5,110, $2,937 and $1,455 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
We anticipate that our existing cash and investment balances, along with cash expected to be generated from operations will be adequate to fund our operating and investing needs for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future. From time to time, we may evaluate acquisitions of businesses, products or technologies that compliment our business. Any such transactions, if consummated, may consume a material portion of our working capital or require the issuance of equity securities that may result in dilution to existing shareholders.
Accounts receivable, net
Accounts receivable, net increased to $14,605 at December 31, 2004 from $8,468 at December 31, 2003. Average days sales outstanding increased to 34 at December 31, 2004 compared to 19 at December 31, 2003. The increase in accounts receivable and days sales outstanding is attributable to a greater portion of shipments in the last month of 2004 as compared to the last month of 2003.
Inventories, net
Inventories, net increased to $18,575 at December 31, 2004 from $10,478 at December 31, 2003. Inventory turnover on an annualized basis decreased from approximately 8 at December 31, 2003 to approximately 4 at December 31, 2004. At December 31, 2004, this represents approximately thirteen weeks of inventory on hand. The increase in inventory and decrease in inventory turnover is primarily attributable to our lower than anticipated sales for the second half of 2004.
Capital resources
On May 18, 2004, we issued $125,000 of convertible subordinated debentures (“the debentures”) due 2024 in a private offering pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and outside of the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. On June 4, 2004, we issued an additional $25,000 of debentures pursuant to the exercise of an option granted to the initial purchasers. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including potential acquisitions. The debentures have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission for resale under the Securities Act of 1933.
The debentures bear interest at a rate of 1.75% per annum and interest is payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning November 15, 2004. The debentures are convertible, under certain circumstances, into our common stock at a conversion rate of 41.0627 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of debentures for a total of 6,159,405 shares. This is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $24.35 per share. The debentures are convertible if (a) during any calendar quarter, the market price of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price per share for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the previous calendar quarter, (b) the trading price of the debentures declines to less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of our common stock and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of $1,000 principal amount of the debentures for five consecutive trading days, (c) a call for redemption occurs, or (d) in the event of certain other corporate transactions. We may redeem some or all of the debentures for cash on or after May 15, 2011 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest. The holders of the debentures have the right to require us to purchase all or a portion of their debentures on May 15, 2011, May 15, 2014 and May 15, 2019 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised),Share Based Payment. This revision replaced the existing SFAS No. 123 to no longer allow public companies to apply the intrinsic value based method of accounting for stock compensation described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.Under the revised statement, public entities must measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost must be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (usually the vesting period). The statement also requires the recognition of compensation expense for the fair value of any unvested stock option awards outstanding at the date of adoption over the remaining vesting period. The statement may be adopted using a modified prospective or modified retrospective approach, and is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005. While we are still in the process of determining how we will adopt the statement and what the impact will be on our financial statements, we do expect it to have an adverse effect on our consolidated statements of operations and earnings per share.
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 109-2,Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (“FSP 109-2”). FSP 109-2 provides guidance for recording the potential impact of the repatriation provisions of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Jobs Act”) on an entity’s income tax expense and deferred tax liability. FSP 109-2 states that an entity is allowed time beyond the financial reporting period of enactment to evaluate the effect of the Jobs Act on its plan for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings for purposes of applying SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes. The Jobs Act was enacted on October 22, 2004. While we have not yet completed our evaluation of the impact of the provisions of FSP 109-2, we currently believe that it will not have a material impact on our financial statements. Accordingly, as provided for in FSP 109-2, we have not adjusted tax expense or recorded a deferred tax liability to reflect the repatriation provisions of the Jobs Act.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151,Inventory Costs – an amendment of ARB 43, Chapter 4. This Statement amends the guidance in Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4,Inventory Pricing (“ARB43”) to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that “. . . under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. . . .” This Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal”. In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of this statement are effective for inventory costs
27
incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We do not expect that adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our financial statements.
RISK FACTORS
Investing in our shares of common stock involves a high degree of risk. If any of the following risks occur, the market price of our shares of common stock could decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR OPERATIONS
The year ended December 31, 2004 was our first year of annual profitability since inception and we may be unable to achieve profitability in future periods.
While we had $21,781 of net income in 2004, our accumulated deficit is $59,588 through December 31, 2004 and 2004 was our first year of annual profitability. In the future we expect our research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses to increase. Given expected increases in operating expenses, we must increase revenues and gross profit to remain profitable. We cannot be certain that we will achieve profitability in the future or, if we do, that we can sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. This may in turn cause the price of our common stock to decline. In addition, if we are not profitable in the future we may be unable to continue our operations.
Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results make it difficult to predict our future performance and may result in volatility in the market price of our common stock.
Our quarterly operating results have varied from quarter to quarter and are likely to vary in the future based on a number of factors related to our industry and the markets for our products. Some of these factors are not in our control and any of them may cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate. These factors include:
| | | |
| • | | demand for multimedia projectors, advanced televisions and LCD monitors; |
| | | |
| • | | demand for our products and the timing of orders for our products; |
| | | |
| • | | the deferral of customer orders in anticipation of new products or product enhancements from us or our competitors or due to a reduction in our end customers’ demand; |
| | | |
| • | | the loss of one or more of our key distributors or customers or a reduction, delay or cancellation of orders from one or more of these parties; |
| | | |
| • | | changes in the available production capacity at the semiconductor fabrication foundries that manufacture our products and changes in the costs of manufacturing; |
| | | |
| • | | our ability to provide adequate supplies of our products to customers and avoid excess inventory; |
| | | |
| • | | announcement or introduction of products and technologies by our competitors; |
| | | |
| • | | changes in product mix, product costs or pricing, or distribution channels; and |
| | | |
| • | | general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to the advanced display and semiconductor markets. |
These factors are difficult or impossible to forecast, and these or other factors could seriously harm our business. We anticipate the rate of new orders may vary significantly from quarter to quarter.
28
Our operating expenses and inventory levels are based on our expectations of future revenues and our operating expenses are relatively fixed in the short term. Consequently, if anticipated sales and shipments in any quarter do not occur when expected, operating expenses and inventory levels could be disproportionately high, and our operating results for that quarter and, potentially, future quarters may be negatively impacted. Any shortfall in our revenues would have a direct impact on our business. In addition, fluctuations in our quarterly results could adversely affect the price of our common stock in a manner unrelated to our long-term operating performance. Because our operating results are volatile and difficult to predict, you should not rely on the results of one quarter as an indication of our future performance. It is possible that in some future quarter our operating results will fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In this event, the price of our common stock may decline significantly.
Our products are characterized by average selling prices that decline over relatively short time periods, which will negatively affect financial results unless we are able to reduce our product costs or introduce new products with higher average selling prices.
Average selling prices for our products decline over relatively short time periods while many of our product costs are fixed. When our average selling prices decline, our gross profits decline unless we are able to sell more units or reduce the cost to manufacture our products. Our operating results are negatively affected when revenue or gross profit margins decline. We have experienced these results and expect that we will continue to experience them in the future, although we cannot predict when they may occur or how severe they will be.
Our highly integrated products and high-speed mixed signal products are difficult to manufacture without defects and the existence of defects could result in an increase in our costs and delays in the availability of our products.
The manufacture of semiconductors is a complex process and it is often difficult for semiconductor foundries to produce semiconductors free of defects. Because many of our products are more highly integrated than other semiconductors and incorporate mixed analog and digital signal processing and embedded memory technology, they are even more difficult to produce without defects.
The ability to manufacture products of acceptable quality depends on both product design and manufacturing process technology. Since defective products can be caused by either design or manufacturing difficulties, identifying quality problems can occur only by analyzing and testing our semiconductors in a system after they have been manufactured. The difficulty in identifying defects is compounded because the process technology is unique to each of the multiple semiconductor foundries we contract with to manufacture our products. Failure to achieve defect-free products due to their increasing complexity may result in an increase in our cost and delays in the availability of our products. For example, we have experienced field failures of our ICs in certain customer system applications that required us to institute additional IC level testing. As a result of these field failures we incurred costs due to customers returning potentially affected products. Additionally, customers have experienced delays in receiving product shipments from us that resulted in the loss of revenue and profits. Shipment of defective products may also harm our reputation with customers.
If we do not achieve additional design wins in the future, our ability to grow would be seriously limited.
Our future success will depend on developers of advanced display products designing our products into their systems. To achieve design wins we must define and deliver cost-effective, innovative and integrated semiconductors. Once a supplier’s products have been designed into a system, the developer may be reluctant to change its source of components due to the significant costs associated with qualifying a new supplier. Accordingly, the failure on our part to obtain additional design wins with leading branded manufacturers or integrators, and to successfully design, develop and introduce new products and product enhancements could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Achieving a design win does not necessarily mean that a developer will order large volumes of our products. A design win is not a binding commitment by a developer to purchase our products. Rather, it is a decision by a developer to use our products in the design process of that developer’s products. Developers can choose at any time to discontinue using our products in their designs or product development efforts. If our products are chosen to be
29
incorporated into a developer’s products, we may still not realize significant revenues from that developer if that developer’s products are not commercially successful or if that developer chooses to qualify a second source for the products that we promote.
Because of the complex nature of our semiconductor designs and of the associated manufacturing process and the rapid evolution of our customers’ product designs, we may not be able to develop new products or product enhancements in a timely manner, which could decrease customer demand for our products and reduce our revenues.
The development of our semiconductors, some of which incorporate mixed analog and digital signal processing, is highly complex. These complexities require that we employ advanced designs and manufacturing processes that are unproven. We have experienced increased development time and delays in introducing new products that resulted in significantly less revenue than originally expected for those products. We will not always succeed in developing new products or product enhancements nor will we always do so in a timely manner. Acquisitions have significantly added to the complexity of our product development efforts. We must now coordinate very complex product development programs between multiple geographically dispersed locations.
Many of our designs involve the development of new high-speed analog circuits that are difficult to simulate and that require physical prototypes not required by the primarily digital circuits we currently design. The result could be longer and less predictable development cycles.
Successful development and timely introduction of new or enhanced products depends on a number of other factors, including:
| | | |
| • | | accurate prediction of customer requirements and evolving industry standards, including digital interface and content piracy protection standards; |
| | | |
| • | | development of advanced display technologies and capabilities; |
| | | |
| • | | timely completion and introduction of new product designs; |
| | | |
| • | | use of advanced foundry processes and achievement of high manufacturing yields; and |
| | | |
| • | | market acceptance of the new products. |
If we are not able to successfully develop and introduce our products in a timely manner, our business and results of operations will be adversely affected.
Integration of software in our products adds complexity and cost that may affect our ability to achieve design wins and may affect our profitability.
Our products incorporate software and software development tools. The integration of software adds complexity, may extend our internal development programs and could impact our customers’ development schedules. This complexity requires increased coordination between hardware and software development schedules and may increase our operating expenses without a corresponding increase in product revenue. Some customers and potential customers may choose not to use our products because of the additional requirements of implementing our software, preferring to use a product that works with their existing software. This additional level of complexity lengthens the sales cycle and may result in customers selecting competitive products requiring less software integration.
A significant amount of our revenue comes from a few customers and distributors. Any decrease in revenues from, or loss of, any of these customers or distributors could significantly reduce our total revenues.
We are and will continue to be dependent on a limited number of large distributors and customers for a substantial portion of our revenue. Sales to distributors represented 69%, 69% and 68% of total revenue for 2004, 2003 and
30
2002, respectively, and sales to Tokyo Electron Device Limited, or TED, our Japanese distributor, represented 31%, 39% and 45% of total revenue for the same periods. Sales to our top five end customers accounted for 33%, 35% and 41% of total revenue for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. As a result of this distributor and end customer concentration, any one of the following factors could significantly impact our revenues:
| | | |
| • | | a significant reduction, delay or cancellation of orders from one or more of our key distributors, branded manufacturers or integrators; or |
| | | |
| • | | a decision by one or more significant customers to select products manufactured by a competitor, or its own internally developed semiconductor, for inclusion in future product generations. |
The display manufacturing market is highly concentrated among relatively few large manufacturers. We expect our operating results to continue to depend on revenues from a relatively small number of customers.
The concentration of our accounts receivable with a limited number of customers exposes us to increased credit risk and could harm our operating results and cash flows.
At December 31, 2004, we had two customers that each represented more than 10% of our accounts receivable balance. At December 31, 2003, we had three customers that each represented more than 10% of our accounts receivable balance. TED represented 26% and 20% of total accounts receivable at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Neoview, our former distributor in Taiwan, represented 8% and 33% of total accounts receivable at December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. A third customer accounted for 11% of total accounts receivable at December 31, 2004 and a fourth customer accounted for 11% of total accounts receivable at December 31, 2003. The failure to pay these balances by these or any other customer representing 10% or more of our total accounts receivable in the future would result in an expense that would increase our operating expenses and would reduce our cash flows.
International sales account for almost all of our revenue, and if we do not successfully address the risks associated with our international operations, our revenue could decrease.
Sales outside the U.S. accounted for approximately 99%, 99% and 98% of total revenue in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. We anticipate that sales outside the U.S. will continue to account for a substantial portion of our revenue in future periods. In addition, customers who incorporate our products into their products sell a substantial portion outside of the U.S., thereby exposing us indirectly to further international risks. In addition, all of our products are manufactured outside of the U.S. We are, therefore, subject to many international risks, including, but not limited to:
| | | |
| • | | increased difficulties in managing international distributors and manufacturers of our products and components due to varying time zones, languages and business customs; |
| | | |
| • | | foreign currency exchange fluctuations such as the devaluation in the currencies of Japan, Taiwan and Korea that could result in an increased cost of procuring our semiconductors; |
| | | |
| • | | potentially adverse tax consequences, such as license fee revenue taxes imposed in Japan; |
| | | |
| • | | difficulties regarding timing and availability of export and import licenses, which have limited our ability to freely move demonstration equipment and samples in and out of Asia; |
| | | |
| • | | political and economic instability, particularly in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), Taiwan and Korea; |
| | | |
| • | | reduced or limited protection of our intellectual property, significant amounts of which are contained in software, which is more prone to design piracy; |
31
| | | |
| • | | increased transaction costs related to sales transactions conducted outside of the U.S. such as charges to secure letters of credit for foreign receivables; |
| | | |
| • | | difficulties in maintaining sales representatives outside of the U.S. that are knowledgeable about the display processor industry and our display processor products; |
| | | |
| • | | changes in the regulatory environment in the PRC, Japan, Korea and Taiwan that may significantly impact purchases of our products by our customers; |
| | | |
| • | | outbreaks of SARS or other pandemics in the PRC or other parts of Asia; and |
| | | |
| • | | difficulties in collecting accounts receivable. |
Our growing presence and investment within the Peoples Republic of China subjects us to risks of economic and political instability in the area, which could adversely impact our results of operations.
A substantial and potentially increasing portion of our products are manufactured by foundries located in the PRC and a large number of our customers are geographically concentrated in the PRC. In addition, approximately 37 percent of our employees are located in this area and we made an investment of $10,000 in Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC) located in Shanghai, China in the third quarter of 2003. Disruptions from natural disasters, health epidemics (including new outbreaks of SARS or bird flu) and political, social and economic instability may affect the region, and would have a negative impact on our results of operations. In addition, the economy of the PRC differs from the economies of many countries in respects such as structure, government involvement, level of development, growth rate, capital reinvestment, allocation of resources, self-sufficiency, rate of inflation and balance of payments position, among others. In the past, the economy of the PRC has been primarily a planned economy subject to state plans. Since the entry of the PRC into the World Trade Organization in 2002, the PRC government has been reforming its economic and political systems. These reforms have resulted in significant economic growth and social change. We cannot assure, however, that the PRC government’s policies for economic reforms will be consistent or effective. Our results of operations and financial position may be harmed by changes in the PRC’s political, economic or social conditions.
Our dependence on selling through distributors and integrators increases the complexity of managing our supply chain and may result in excess inventory or inventory shortages.
Selling through distributors reduces our ability to forecast sales and increases the complexity of our business. Since our distributors act as intermediaries between us and the companies using our products, we must rely on our distributors to accurately report inventory levels and production forecasts. This arrangement requires us to manage a more complex supply chain and monitor the financial condition and creditworthiness of our distributors and customers. Our failure to manage one or more of these challenges could result in excess inventory or shortages that could seriously impact our operating revenue or limit the ability of companies using our semiconductors to deliver their products.
Dependence on a limited number of sole-source, third party manufacturers for our products exposes us to shortages based on capacity allocation or low manufacturing yield, errors in manufacturing, price increases with little notice, volatile inventory levels and delays in product delivery, which could result in delays in satisfying customer demand, increased costs and loss of revenues.
We do not own or operate a semiconductor fabrication facility and we do not have the resources to manufacture our products internally. We rely on third party foundries for wafer fabrication and other contract manufacturers for assembly and testing of our products. Our requirements represent only a small portion of the total production capacity of our contract manufacturers. Our third-party manufacturers have in the past re-allocated capacity to other customers even during periods of high demand for our products. We expect that this may occur again in the future. We have limited control over delivery schedules, quality assurance, manufacturing yields, potential errors in manufacturing and production costs. We do not have long-term supply contracts with our third-party manufacturers
32
so they are not obligated to supply us with products for any specific period of time, in any specific quantity or at any specific price, except as may be provided in a particular purchase order. From time to time our third-party manufacturers increase prices charged to manufacture our products with little notice. This requires us to either increase the price we charge for our products or suffer a decrease in our gross margins. We try not to maintain substantial inventories of products, but need to order products long before we have firm purchase orders for those products which could result in excess inventory or inventory shortages.
If we are unable to obtain our products from manufacturers on schedule, our ability to satisfy customer demand will be harmed, and revenue from the sale of products may be lost or delayed. If orders for our products are cancelled, expected revenues would not be realized. In addition, if the price charged by our third-party manufacturers increases we will be required to increase our prices, which could harm our competitiveness.
The concentration of our manufactures and customers in the same geographic region increases our risk that a natural disaster, labor strike or political unrest could disrupt our operations.
Most of our current manufacturers and customers are located in the PRC, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. The risk of earthquakes in the Pacific Rim region is significant due to the proximity of major earthquake fault lines in the area. A current manufacturer’s facilities were affected by a significant earthquake in Taiwan in September 1999. As a consequence of this earthquake, the manufacturer suffered power outages and disruption that impaired its production capacity. Earthquakes, fire, flooding, power outages and other natural disasters in the Pacific Rim region, or political unrest, labor strikes or work stoppages in countries where our manufacturers and customers are located likely would result in the disruption of our manufacturers’ and customers’ operations. Any disruption resulting from extraordinary events could cause significant delays in shipments of our solutions until we are able to shift our manufacturing from the affected contractor to another third-party vendor. There can be no assurance that alternative capacity could be obtained on favorable terms, if at all.
We use a COT, or customer owned tooling, process for manufacturing some of our products which exposes us to the possibility of poor yields and unacceptably high product costs.
We are building many of our products on a customer owned tooling basis, also known in the semiconductor industry as COT, where we directly contract the manufacture of wafers and assume the responsibility for the assembly and testing of our products. As a result, we are subject to increased risks arising from wafer manufacturing yields and risks associated with coordination of the manufacturing, assembly and testing process. Poor product yields would result in higher product costs, which could make our products uncompetitive with products offered by our competitors if we chose to increase our prices, or could result in low gross profit margins if we did not increase our prices.
We are dependent on our foundries to implement complex semiconductor technologies, which could adversely affect our operations if those technologies are not available, delayed or inefficiently implemented.
In order to increase performance and functionality and reduce the size of our products, we are continuously developing new products using advanced technologies that further miniaturize semiconductors. However, we are dependent on our foundries to develop and provide access to the advanced processes that enable such miniaturization. We cannot be certain that future advanced manufacturing processes will be implemented without difficulties, delays or increased expenses. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected if advanced manufacturing processes are unavailable to us, substantially delayed or inefficiently implemented.
Manufacturers of our semiconductor products periodically discontinue manufacturing processes, which could make our products unavailable from our current suppliers.
Semiconductor manufacturing technologies change rapidly and manufacturers typically discontinue older manufacturing processes in favor of newer ones. Once a manufacturer makes the decision to retire a manufacturing process, notice is generally given to its customers. Customers will then either retire the affected part or develop a new
33
version of the part that can be manufactured on the newer process. In the event that a manufacturing process is discontinued, our products could become unavailable from our current suppliers. Additionally, migrating to a new, more advanced process requires significant expenditures for research and development. A significant portion of our products use embedded DRAM technology and the required manufacturing process for this technology is anticipated to be available for at least the next two to three years. We also utilize a 0.18um standard logic process, which we expect will be readily available for the next five to seven years. We have commitments from our suppliers to notify us in the event of a discontinuance of a manufacturing process in order to assist us with product transitions.
If we have to qualify a new contract manufacturer or foundry for any of our products, we may experience delays that result in lost revenues and damaged customer relationships.
None of our products are fabricated by more than one supplier. Additionally, our products require manufacturing with state-of-the-art fabrication equipment and techniques. Because the lead-time needed to establish a relationship with a new contract manufacturer is at least six months, and the estimated time for us to adapt a product’s design to a particular contract manufacturer’s processes is at least four months, there is no readily available alternative source of supply for any specific product. This could cause significant delays in shipping products, which may result in lost revenues and damaged customer relationships.
Our future success depends upon the continued services of key personnel, many of whom would be difficult to replace and the loss of one or more of these employees could seriously harm our business by delaying product development.
Our future success depends upon the continued services of our executive officers, key hardware and software engineers, and sales, marketing and support personnel, many of whom would be difficult to replace. The loss of one or more of these employees, particularly Allen Alley, our President and Chief Executive Officer, could seriously harm our business. In addition, because of the highly technical nature of our business, the loss of key engineering personnel could delay product introductions and significantly impair our ability to successfully create future products. We believe our success depends, in large part, upon our ability to identify, attract and retain qualified hardware and software engineers, and sales, marketing, finance and managerial personnel. Competition for talented personnel is intense and we may not be able to retain our key personnel or identify, attract or retain other highly qualified personnel in the future. We have experienced, and may continue to experience, difficulty in hiring and retaining employees with appropriate qualifications. If we do not succeed in hiring and retaining employees with appropriate qualifications, our product development efforts, revenues and business could be seriously harmed.
Because we do not have long-term commitments from our customers, and plan purchases based on estimates of customer demand which may be inaccurate, we must contract for the manufacture of our products based on those potentially inaccurate estimates.
Our sales are made on the basis of purchase orders rather than long-term purchase commitments. Our customers may cancel or defer purchase orders at any time. This process requires us to make multiple demand forecast assumptions, each of which may introduce error into our estimates. If our customers or we overestimate demand, we may purchase components or have products manufactured that we may not be able to use or sell. As a result, we would have excess inventory, which would negatively affect our operating results. Conversely, if our customers or we underestimate demand or if sufficient manufacturing capacity is unavailable, we would forego revenue opportunities, lose market share and damage our customer relationships.
Development projects may cause us to incur substantial operating expenses without the guarantee of any associated revenue or far in advance of revenue.
We have development projects that consume large amounts of engineering resources far in advance of product revenue. Our work under these projects is technically challenging and places considerable demands on our limited resources, particularly on our most senior engineering talent, and may not result in revenue for twelve to eighteen months, if at all. In addition, allocating significant resources to these projects may detract from or delay the completion of other important development projects. Any of these development projects could be canceled at any
34
time without notice. These factors could have a material and adverse effect on our long-term business and results of operations.
Because of our long product development process and sales cycle, we may incur substantial expenses before we earn associated revenues and may not ultimately sell as many units of our products as we forecasted.
We develop products based on anticipated market and customer requirements and incur substantial product development expenditures, which can include the payment of large up-front, third-party license fees and royalties, prior to generating associated revenues. Because the development of our products incorporates not only our complex and evolving technology, but also our customers’ win, the customer may never ship systems incorporating our products. We cannot assure you that the time required for the testing, evaluation and design of our products by our customers would not exceed six months. Because of this lengthy development cycle, we will experience delays between the time we incur expenditures for research and development, sales and marketing, inventory levels and the time we generate revenues, if any, from these expenditures. Additionally, if actual sales volumes for a particular product are substantially less than originally forecasted, we may experience large write-offs of capitalized license fees, product masks and prepaid royalties that would negatively affect our operating results.
Shortages of other key components for our customers’ products could delay our ability to sell our products.
Shortages of components and other materials that are critical to the design and manufacture of our customers’ products could limit our sales. These components include liquid crystal display panels and other display components, analog-to-digital converters, digital receivers and video decoders. During 2000, some of our customers experienced delays in the availability of key components from other suppliers, which, in turn, caused a delay in demand for the products that we supplied to our customers.
Shortages of materials used in the manufacturing of our products may increase our costs or limit our revenues and impair our ability to ship our products on time.
From time to time, shortages of materials that are used in our products may occur. In particular, we may experience shortages of semiconductor wafers and packages. If material shortages occur, we may incur additional costs or be unable to ship our products to our customers in a timely fashion, both of which could harm our business and negatively impact our earnings.
Our products could become obsolete if necessary licenses of third-party technology are not available to us or are only available on terms that are not commercially viable.
We license technology from third parties that is incorporated into our products or product enhancements. Future products or product enhancements may require additional third-party licenses that may not be available to us or available on terms that are commercially reasonable. If we are unable to obtain any third-party license required to develop new products and product enhancements, we may have to obtain substitute technology of lower quality or performance standards or at greater cost, either of which could seriously harm the competitiveness of our products.
We may not be able to respond to the rapid technological changes in the markets in which we compete, or we may not be able to comply with industry standards in the future making our products less desirable or obsolete.
The markets in which we compete or seek to compete are subject to rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions, changing customer requirements for new products and features, and evolving industry standards. The introduction of new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards could render our products less desirable or obsolete, which could harm our business. Examples of changing industry standards include
35
the introduction of high-definition television, or HDTV, new digital receivers and displays with resolutions that have required us to accelerate development of new products to meet these new standards.
Our software development tools may be incompatible with industry standards and challenging to implement, which could slow product development or cause us to lose customers and design wins.
Our existing products incorporate complex software tools designed to help customers bring products into production. Software development is a complex process and we are dependent on software development languages and operating systems from vendors that may compromise our ability to design software in a timely manner. Also, software development is a volatile market and new software languages are introduced to the market that may be incompatible with our existing systems and tools. New software development languages may not be compatible with our own requiring significant engineering efforts to migrate our existing systems in order to be compatible with those new languages. Existing or new software development tools could make our current products obsolete or hard to use. Software development disruptions could slow our product development or cause us to lose customers and design wins.
Our integrated circuits and software could contain defects, which could reduce sales of those products or result in claims against us.
Despite testing by both our customers and us, errors or performance problems may be found in existing or new semiconductors and software. This could result in a delay in the recognition or loss of revenues, loss of market share or failure to achieve market acceptance. These defects may cause us to incur significant warranty, support and repair costs. They could also divert the attention of our engineering personnel from our product development efforts and harm our relationships with our customers. The occurrence of these problems could result in the delay or loss of market acceptance of our semiconductors and would likely harm our business. Defects, integration issues or other performance problems in our semiconductors and software could result in financial or other damages to our customers or could damage market acceptance of our products. Our customers could also seek damages from us for their losses. A product liability claim brought against us, even if unsuccessful, would likely be time consuming and costly to defend.
Others may bring infringement actions against us that could be time-consuming and expensive to defend.
We may become subject to claims involving patents or other intellectual property rights. For example, in early 2000, we were notified by InFocus Corporation (“InFocus”) that we were infringing on patents held by InFocus. In February 2000, we entered into a license agreement with InFocus granting us the right to use the technology covered by those InFocus patents. As a result, we recorded a one-time charge of $4,078 for patent settlement expense in the first quarter of 2000. Intellectual property claims could subject us to significant liability for damages and invalidate our proprietary rights. In addition, intellectual property claims may be brought against customers that incorporate our products in the design of their own products. These claims, regardless of their success or merit and regardless of whether we are named as defendants in a lawsuit, would likely be time-consuming and expensive to resolve and would divert the time and attention of management and technical personnel. Any future intellectual property litigation or claims also could force us to do one or more of the following:
| | | |
| • | | stop selling products using technology that contains the allegedly infringing intellectual property; |
| | | |
| • | | attempt to obtain a license to the relevant intellectual property, which license may not be available on reasonable terms or at all; |
| | | |
| • | | attempt to redesign those products that contain the allegedly infringing intellectual property; and |
| | | |
| • | | pay damages for past infringement claims that are determined to be valid or which are arrived at in settlement of such litigation or threatened litigation. |
36
If we are forced to take any of the foregoing actions, we may be unable to manufacture and sell our products, which could seriously harm our business. In addition, we may not be able to develop, license or acquire non-infringing technology under reasonable terms. These developments could result in an inability to compete for customers or could adversely affect our ability to increase our earnings.
Our limited ability to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights could harm our competitive position by allowing our competitors to access our proprietary technology and to introduce similar display processor products.
Our ability to compete effectively with other companies will depend, in part, on our ability to maintain the proprietary nature of our technology, including our semiconductor designs and software. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as nondisclosure agreements and other methods, to protect our proprietary technologies. We hold 15 U.S. patents and have 46 patent applications pending with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for protection of our significant technologies. We cannot assure you that the degree of protection offered by patents or trade secret laws will be sufficient. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that any patents will be issued as a result of any pending applications, or that, if issued, any claims allowed will be sufficiently broad to protect our technology. In addition, it is possible that existing or future patents may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Competitors in both the U.S. and foreign countries, many of whom have substantially greater resources, may apply for and obtain patents that will prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to make and sell our products, or develop similar technology independently or design around our patents. Effective copyright, trademark and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in foreign countries. In addition, we provide the computer programming code for our software to selected customers in connection with their product development efforts, thereby increasing the risk that customers will misappropriate our proprietary software.
Any acquisition or equity investment we make could disrupt our business and severely harm our financial condition.
To date, we have acquired Panstera, Inc. in January 2001, nDSP in January 2002 and Jaldi Semiconductor in September 2002. In March 2003, we announced the execution of a definitive merger agreement with Genesis Microchip, Inc.; however, the merger was terminated in August of 2003, and we incurred $8,949 of expenses related to the transaction. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2003, we made an investment of $10,000 in SMIC. We intend to continue to consider investments in or acquisitions of complementary businesses, products or technologies. In the second quarter of 2004, we raised $145,500, net, upon the sale of our 1.75% convertible debentures. We may use these proceeds to fund such future acquisitions or equity investments.
The acquisitions of Panstera, nDSP and Jaldi contained a very high level of risk primarily because the investments were made based on in-process technological development that may not have been completed, or if completed, may not have become commercially viable.
These and any future acquisitions and investments could result in:
| | | |
| • | | issuance of stock that dilutes current shareholders’ percentage ownership; |
| | | |
| • | | assumption of liabilities; |
| | | |
| • | | amortization expenses related to other intangible assets; |
| | | |
| • | | impairment of goodwill; or |
| | | |
| • | | large and immediate write-offs. |
Our operation of any acquired business will also involve numerous risks, including, but not limited to:
37
| | | |
| • | | problems combining the purchased operations, technologies or products; |
| | | |
| • | | diversion of management’s attention from our core business; |
| | | |
| • | | adverse effects on existing business relationships with customers; |
| | | |
| • | | risks associated with entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience; and |
| | | |
| • | | potential loss of key employees, particularly those of the acquired organizations. |
We may not be able to successfully integrate businesses, products, technologies or personnel that we might acquire in the future and any failure to do so could disrupt our business and seriously harm our financial condition. In addition, if we acquire companies with weak internal controls, it will take time to get the acquired company up to the same level of operating effectiveness as Pixelworks. Our inability to address these risks could negatively affect our operating results.
Goodwill represents a significant portion of our total assets.
As of December 31, 2004, goodwill amounted to $80,836 or approximately 19% of our total assets. We are required to review goodwill for possible impairment on an annual basis or when events and circumstances arise which indicate a possible impairment. The review of goodwill for impairment may result in large write-offs of goodwill, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
We have incurred substantial indebtedness as a result of the sale of convertible debentures.
In the second quarter of 2004, we issued $150 million of 1.75% convertible debentures due 2024 in a private placement pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. As a result of this indebtedness, our principal obligations will increase substantially. These debt obligations could materially and adversely affect our ability to obtain debt financing for working capital, acquisitions or other purposes, limit our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business, reduce funds available for use in our operations and could make us more vulnerable to industry downturns and competitive pressures. Our ability to meet our debt service obligations will be dependent upon our future performance, which will be subject to financial, business and other factors affecting our operations, many of which are beyond our control.
Failure to manage our expansion effectively could adversely affect our ability to increase our business and our results of operations.
Our ability to successfully market and sell our products in a rapidly evolving market requires effective planning and management processes. We continue to increase the scope of our operations domestically and internationally and have increased our headcount from 241 employees at the end of 2003 to 349 at December 31, 2004. Our past growth, and our expected future growth, places a significant strain on our management systems and resources including our financial and managerial controls, reporting systems and procedures. To manage our growth effectively, we must implement and improve operational and financial systems, train and manage our employee base and attract and retain qualified personnel with relevant experience. We must also manage multiple relationships with customers, business partners, contract manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties. Moreover, we could spend substantial amounts of time and money in connection with our rapid growth and may have unexpected costs. Our systems, procedures or controls may not be adequate to support our operations and we may not be able to expand quickly enough to exploit potential market opportunities. While we have not, to date, suffered any significant adverse consequences due to our growth, if we do not continue to manage growth effectively our operating expenses could increase more rapidly than our revenue causing decreased profitability.

Risks Related to our Industry
Failure of consumer demand for advanced displays and other digital display technologies to increase would impede our growth and adversely affect our business.
Our product development strategies anticipate that consumer demand for flat panel displays and other emerging display technologies will increase in the future. The success of our products is dependent on increased demand for these display technologies. The potential size of the market for products incorporating these display technologies and the timing of its development are uncertain and will depend upon a number of factors, all of which are beyond our control. In order for the market for many of our products to grow, advanced display products must be widely available and affordable to consumers. In the past, the supply of advanced display products has been cyclical. We expect this pattern to continue. Under-capacity in the advanced display market may limit our ability to increase our revenues because our customers may limit their purchases of our products if they cannot obtain sufficient supplies of LCD panels or other advanced display components. In addition, advanced display prices may remain high because of limited supply, and consumer demand may not grow.
If products incorporating our semiconductors are not compatible with computer display protocols, video standards and other devices, the market for our products will be reduced and our business prospects could be significantly limited.
Our products are incorporated into our customers’ products, which have different parts and specifications and utilize multiple protocols that allow them to be compatible with specific computers, video standards and other devices. If our customers’ products are not compatible with these protocols and standards, consumers will return these products, or consumers will not purchase these products, and the markets for our customers’ products could be significantly reduced. As a result, a portion of our market would be eliminated, and our business would be harmed.
Intense competition in our markets may reduce sales of our products, reduce our market share, decrease our gross profit and result in large losses.
Rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, compressed product life cycles and declining average selling prices are characteristics of our market and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. As the overall price of advanced flat panel display screens continues to fall, we may be required to offer our products to manufacturers at discounted prices due to increased price competition. At the same time, new, alternative display processing technologies and industry standards may emerge that directly compete with technologies that we offer. We may be required to increase our investment in research and development at the same time that product prices are falling. In addition, even after making this investment, we cannot assure you that our technologies will be superior to those of our competitors or that our products will achieve market acceptance, whether for performance or price reasons. Failure to effectively respond to these trends could reduce the demand for our products.
We compete with specialized and diversified electronics and semiconductor companies that offer display processors or scaling components. Some of these include ATI, Genesis Microchip, I-Chips, ITE, Macronix, Mediatek, Media Reality Technologies, Micronas, MStar Semiconductor, Inc., Oplus, Realtek, Silicon Image, Silicon Optix, STMicroelectronics, Techwell, Topro, Trident, Trumpion, Weltrend, Zoran and other companies. Potential competitors may include diversified semiconductor manufacturers and the semiconductor divisions or affiliates of some of our customers, including Intel, Koninlijke Philips Electronics, LG Electronics, Matsushita Electric Industrial, Mitsubishi, National Semiconductor, NEC, nVidia, Samsung Electronics, Sanyo Electric Company, Sharp Corporation, Sony Corporation, Texas Instruments and Toshiba Corporation. In addition, start-up companies may seek to compete in our markets. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories and greater resources to support development and marketing efforts. Some of our competitors may operate their own fabrication facilities. These competitors may be able to react more quickly and devote more resources to efforts that compete directly with our own. In the future, our current or potential customers may also develop their own proprietary display processors and become our competitors. Our competitors may develop advanced technologies enabling them to offer more cost-effective and higher quality semiconductors to our customers than those offered by us. Increased competition could
39
harm our business, financial condition and results of operations by, for example, increasing pressure on our profit margin or causing us to lose sales opportunities. We cannot assure you that we can compete successfully against current or potential competitors.
The cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry may lead to significant variances in the demand for our products and could harm our operations.
In the past, the semiconductor industry has been characterized by significant downturns and wide fluctuations in supply and demand. Also, during this time, the industry has experienced significant fluctuations in anticipation of changes in general economic conditions, including economic conditions in Asia and North America. The cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry has led to significant variances in product demand and production capacity. It has also accelerated erosion of average selling prices per unit. We may experience periodic fluctuations in our future financial results because of changes in industry-wide conditions.
Other Risks
The anti-takeover provisions of Oregon law and in our articles of incorporation could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock by preventing a sale or takeover of us at a price or prices favorable to the holders of our common stock.
Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws and provisions of Oregon law may have the effect of delaying or preventing a merger or acquisition of us, making a merger or acquisition of us less desirable to a potential acquirer or preventing a change in our management, even if the shareholders consider the merger or acquisition favorable or if doing so would benefit our shareholders. In addition, these provisions could limit the price that investors would be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. The following are examples of such provisions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws:
| | | |
| • | | our board of directors is authorized, without prior shareholder approval, to create and issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us or change our control, commonly referred to as “blank check” preferred stock; |
| | | |
| • | | members of our board of directors can only be removed for cause; |
| | | |
| • | | the board of directors may alter our bylaws without obtaining shareholder approval; and |
| | | |
| • | | shareholders are required to provide advance notice for nominations for election to the board of directors or for proposing matters to be acted upon at a shareholder meeting. |
Our principal shareholders have significant voting power and may take actions that may make it more difficult to sell our shares at a premium to take over candidates.
Our executive officers, directors and other principal shareholders, in the aggregate, beneficially own 18,680,813 shares or approximately 40% of our outstanding common stock and exchangeable shares as of February 28, 2005. These shareholders currently have, and will continue to have, significant influence with respect to the election of our directors and approval or disapproval of our significant corporate actions. This influence over our affairs might be adverse to the interest of our other shareholders. In addition, the voting power of these shareholders could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our business or otherwise discouraging a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of us, which could prevent our other shareholders from realizing a premium over the market price for their common stock.
The price of our common stock has and may continue to fluctuate substantially.
Investors may not be able to sell shares of our common stock at or above the price they paid due to a number of factors, including:
40
| | | |
| • | | actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results; |
| | | |
| • | | changes in expectations as to our future financial performance; |
| | | |
| • | | changes in financial estimates of securities analysts; |
| | | |
| • | | announcements by us or our competitors of technological innovations, design wins, contracts, standards or acquisitions; |
| | | |
| • | | the operating and stock price performance of other comparable companies; |
| | | |
| • | | announcements of future expectations by our customers; |
| | | |
| • | | changes in market valuations of other technology companies; and |
| | | |
| • | | inconsistent trading volume levels of our common stock. |
In particular, the stock prices of technology companies similar to us have been highly volatile. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Market fluctuations as well as general economic, political and market conditions including recessions, interest rate changes or international currency fluctuations, may negatively impact the market price of our common stock. Therefore, the price of our common stock may decline, and the value of your investment may be reduced regardless of our performance.
We may be unable to meet our future capital requirements, which would limit our ability to grow.
We believe our current cash and marketable security balances will be sufficient to meet our capital requirements for the next 12 months. However, we may need, or could elect to seek, additional funding prior to that time. To the extent that currently available funds are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. Additional funds may not be available on terms favorable to us or our shareholders. Further, if we issue equity securities, our shareholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our common stock. If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to develop or enhance our products, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements.
We may be unable to meet changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure.
We are spending an increasing amount of management time and external resources to comply with changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, new SEC regulations and Nasdaq Stock Market rules. In particular, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires management’s annual review and evaluation of our internal control systems, and attestations of the effectiveness of these systems by our independent registered public accounting firm. The process of documenting and testing our controls has required that we hire additional personnel and outside advisory services and has resulted in additional accounting and legal expenses. While we invested significant time and money in our effort to evaluate and test our internal control over financial reporting, a material weakness was identified in our internal control over financial reporting in 2004. Although we believe that we have remediated the material weakness identified, our disclosure of this material weakness may impact investor perception of our company and may affect our stock price. In addition, there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including cost limitations, the possibility of human error, judgments and assumptions regarding the likelihood of future events, and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
41
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our primary market risk exposure is the impact of interest rate fluctuations on interest income earned on our investment portfolio. We mitigate risks associated with such fluctuations, as well as the risk of loss of principal, by investing in high-credit quality securities and limiting concentrations of issuers and maturity dates. Derivative financial instruments are not part of our investment portfolio.
As of December 31, 2004, we had convertible subordinated notes of $150,000 outstanding with a fixed interest rate of 1.75%. Interest rate changes affect that fair value of these notes, but do not affect our earnings or cash flow.
All of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars and as a result, we have relatively little exposure to foreign currency exchange risk with respect to our sales. We have employees located in offices in Canada, Japan, Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China and as such, a portion of our operating expenses are denominated in foreign currencies. Accordingly, our operating results are affected by changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and those currencies. Any future strengthening of those currencies against the U.S. dollar could negatively impact our operating results by increasing our operating expenses as measured in U.S. dollars. While we cannot reasonably estimate the effect that an immediate 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates would have on our operating results or cash flows, we believe that the effect would not be material. We do not currently hedge against foreign currency rate fluctuations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Pixelworks, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pixelworks, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pixelworks, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Pixelworks, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 15, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of, and an adverse opinion on the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Business
Pixelworks, Inc. (“Pixelworks” or “the Company”) is a leading designer, developer and marketer of semiconductors and software for the advanced display industry, including advanced televisions, multimedia projectors and flat panel monitors. Our system-on-chip semiconductors provide the ‘intelligence’ for these types of displays by processing and optimizing video and computer graphic signals to produce high-quality images.
Consolidated Financial Statements
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pixelworks and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. All foreign subsidiaries use the US dollar as the functional currency, and as a result, transaction gains and losses are included in the statement of operations. Transaction gains (losses) were $77, ($153) and ($24) for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Our significant estimates and judgments include those related to product returns, warranty obligations, bad debts, inventory valuation, property and equipment, intangible assets, income taxes, litigation and other contingencies. The actual results experienced could differ materially from our estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2003 and 2002 financial statements to conform to the 2004 presentation, including the reclassification of investments in auction rate securities from cash and cash equivalents to available-for-sale short-term marketable securities.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents totaled $29,867 and $8,940 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Marketable Securities
Our investments in marketable securities are categorized as either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115,Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities(“SFAS 115”). Held-to-maturity marketable securities are stated at amortized cost in the consolidated balance sheets. We have the positive intent and ability to hold these securities until maturity. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices with unrealized holding gains or losses, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity.
Short-term marketable securities have remaining maturities of twelve months or less at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and long-term marketable securities have remaining maturities of greater than twelve months.
The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
48
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amount and do not bear interest when recorded or accrue interest when past due. We do not have any off balance sheet exposure risk related to customers. Accounts receivable are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is maintained for estimated losses that may result from the inability of our customers to make required payments. The balance is determined based on our historical write-off experience and the age of outstanding receivables at each reporting date. The determination to write off specific accounts receivable balances is made based on likelihood of collection and past due status. Past due status is based on invoice date and terms specific to each customer.
Inventories
Inventories consists of finished goods and work-in-process, and are stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market (net realizable value), net of a reserve for slow moving and obsolete items.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:
| | |
| Software | 3 years |
| Equipment, furniture and fixtures | 2 years |
| Tooling | 2 years |
| Leasehold improvements | Lesser of lease term or estimated useful life of asset |
Reviews for impairment of property and equipment are performed whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable, or that the useful life of assets is shorter than originally estimated. Impairment is assessed in accordance with SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets(“SFAS 144”), by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the assets over their remaining useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets.
The cost of property and equipment repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred.
Acquired Intangible Assets
Acquired intangible assets consist of developed technology and an assembled workforce asset. These acquired intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over seven and three years, respectively. The assets are reviewed regularly to determine whether events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable, or that the useful life of the assets is shorter than originally estimated. If such events or circumstances did exist, the assets would be assessed for recoverability in accordance with SFAS 144. To date, we have not recognized any impairment charges against these assets.
Other Intangible Assets
In addition to acquisition related intangible assets, we have recorded other intangible assets, which consist of amounts paid under technology license agreements. These assets are stated at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the license or the estimated life of the asset if the license is not contractually limited, generally three to five years. These assets are included in other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets, and are assessed for impairment in accordance with SFAS 144 whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable, or that their useful lives may be shorter than originally estimated.
49
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess cost over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized and is instead tested annually for impairment and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The impairment tests are performed in accordance with SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Accordingly, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. This determination is made at the reporting unit level. We have assigned all goodwill to a single, enterprise-level reporting unit. The impairment test consists of two steps. First, we determine the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value is then compared to its carrying amount. Second, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in accordance with SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. We perform our annual goodwill impairment test in the first quarter of each year. We did not record any goodwill impairment charges in 2004, 2003 or 2002.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104,Revenue Recognition. Accordingly, we recognize revenue from product sales to customers and distributors upon shipment provided that:
| | | |
| • | | an authorized purchase order has been received; |
| | | |
| • | | the sales price is fixed and determinable; |
| | | |
| • | | title and risk of loss have transferred; |
| | | |
| • | | collection of the resulting receivable is probable; and |
| | | |
| • | | product returns are reasonably estimable. |
There are no customer acceptance provisions associated with our products, and except for replacement of defective products under our warranty program, we have no obligation to accept product returns from end customers. Requests to return product are assessed on a case-by-case basis and returns are accepted as customer accommodations only.
A portion of our sales are made to distributors under agreements that grant the distributor limited stock rotation rights and price protection discounts on in-stock merchandise. The stock rotation rights allow these distributors to exchange product currently in their inventory for other Pixelworks product. Under the price protection provisions, we may grant credits to certain distributors on previous sales.
We record estimated reductions to gross profit for these sales returns and allowances in our reserve for sales returns and allowances. We update the balance in this reserve based on historical experience at each reporting period. If actual returns increase, we may be required to recognize additional reductions to gross profit.
Revenue from software sales was not material for the periods presented.
Warranty Program
We warrant that our products will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of twelve months from delivery. Warranty repairs are guaranteed for the remainder of the original warranty period. Our warranty is limited to repairing or replacing products, or refunding the purchase price.
We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties in our warranty reserve. We update the balance in this reserve based on historical experience at each reporting period. While we engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, which include actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our suppliers, should actual product failure rates or product replacement costs differ from our estimates, revisions to our estimated warranty liability may be required.

Stock-Based Compensation
We have a 1997 Stock Incentive Plan and a 2001 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan under which employees, officers and directors may be granted stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. We also have a 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan under which eligible employees may purchase shares of Pixelworks’ common stock at 85% of fair market value at specific, pre-determined dates.
As permitted by SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”), and SFAS No. 148,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, we continue to apply the intrinsic value based method of accounting for stock compensation described in APB Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“Opinion 25”).As such, stock-based compensation cost is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of Pixelworks’ stock on the grant, or other measurement date, over the amount that an option holder must pay to acquire the stock.
Deferred stock-based compensation is being amortized on an accelerated basis over the vesting period, generally four years, consistent with the methodology described in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 28,Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans. Deferred stock-based compensation amortized in the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $288, $1,179 and $2,993, respectively. If employees are terminated, any deferred stock-based compensation related to unvested stock options is reversed. Reversals of deferred stock-based compensation during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $101, $774 and $3,963, respectively.
During the fourth quarter of 2003, we accelerated the vesting of outstanding stock option awards for employees whose employment was terminated as a result of our restructuring. (See Note 9.) We recognized an additional $1,873 of stock-based compensation expense as a result of the modifications.
Entities electing to continue to apply Opinion 25 must make prominent pro-forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation prescribed by SFAS 123 had been applied. Had we accounted for our stock-based compensation plans in accordance with SFAS 123, our net income (loss) would approximate the pro-forma amounts below:

The fair value of stock-based compensation costs reflected in the above pro forma amounts were determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following weighted average assumptions:

Stock Option Plans: | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Risk free interest rate | | | 3.88 | % | | | 2.90 | % | | | 2.76 | % |
| Expected dividend yield | | | 0 | % | | | 0 | % | | | 0 | % |
| Expected life (in years) | | | 6.1 | | | | 5.5 | | | | 5.4 | |
| Volatility | | | 100 | % | | | 109 | % | | | 115 | % |
| |
Employee Stock Purchase Plan: | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Risk free interest rate | | | 1.87 | % | | | 1.83 | % | | | 2.26 | % |
| Expected dividend yield | | | 0 | % | | | 0 | % | | | 0 | % |
| Expected life (in years) | | | 1.3 | | | | 1.2 | | | | 1.2 | |
| Volatility | | | 103 | % | | | 104 | % | | | 114 | % |
Under the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the weighted-average fair value of options granted at market value during 2004, 2003 and 2002 was approximately $11.32, $6.16 and $8.85, respectively. The weighted-average fair value of options granted below market value during 2002 was approximately $10.77.
The effects of applying SFAS 123 in this pro-forma disclosure are not indicative of future amounts and additional awards are anticipated in future years.
We account for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18,Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services. During 2003, we issued a stock option to purchase 2,500 shares of Pixelworks stock to a consultant in exchange for past services provided. The fair value of the award was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and was expensed on the date of grant. The total award value of $30 is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying statement of operations. There were no other equity instruments issued to non-employees during the periods presented.
Research and Development
Amounts paid for research and development activities are charged to expense as incurred.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We establish a valuation allowance in accordance with SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes(“SFAS 109”),to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected more likely than not to be realized in future tax returns.
Tax contingencies are recorded to address potential exposures involving tax positions we have taken that could be challenged by taxing authorities. These potential exposures result from the varying applications of statutes, rules, regulations and interpretations. Our tax contingencies contain assumptions based on past experiences and judgments about potential actions by taxing jurisdictions. The ultimate resolution of these matters may be greater or less than the amount that we have accrued.
52
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
SFAS No. 130,Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components. We record unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on our available-for-sale investments in accumulated other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS 115. At December 31, 2004 the unrealized holding gain, net of tax, was $531 and this was the only component of accumulated other comprehensive income. At December 31, 2003 there were no unrealized holding gains or losses on available-for-sale marketable securities, and there were no other items of accumulated other comprehensive income.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of our monetary assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximates the carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of long-term debt was $129,375 as of December 31, 2004, as compared to its carrying value of $150,000. The fair value of long-term debt was based on the quoted market price of the debt.
Risks and Uncertainties
Concentration of Suppliers
We do not own or operate a semiconductor fabrication facility and do not have the resources to manufacture our products internally. We rely on four third-party foundries to produce all of our products and we do not have any long-term agreements with any of these suppliers. In light of these dependencies, it is reasonably possible that failure to perform by one of these suppliers could have a severe impact on our growth and results of operations.
Risk of Technological Change
The markets in which we compete or seek to compete are subject to rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions, changing customer requirements for new products and features and evolving industry standards. The introduction of new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards could render our products less desirable or obsolete, which could harm our business.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash equivalents, short and long-term marketable securities and accounts receivable. We limit our exposure to credit risk associated with cash equivalent and marketable security balances by placing our funds in various high quality securities and limiting concentrations of issuers and maturity dates.
At December 31, 2004 two customers each accounted for more than 10% of total accounts receivable. At December 31, 2003, three customers each accounted for more than 10% of total accounts receivable. Failure to collect these balances would increase our operating expenses and reduce our cash flow.

At December 31, 2004, maturities of held-to-maturity long-term marketable securities range from 1-4 years.
The long-term available-for-sale marketable security balance at December 31, 2004 is our investment in Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (“SMIC”) a Chinese wafer foundry. We made a $10,000 investment in SMIC during the third quarter of 2003 and recorded the investment at cost in other long-term assets at December 31, 2003. In March of 2004, SMIC completed its initial public offering and as a result, we now account for the investment as an available-for-sale marketable security in accordance with SFAS 115. The investment is classified as a long-term marketable security at December 31, 2004 because we do not expect to sell any or all of the investment in SMIC in the next year.

Long-Term Debt and Debt Issuance Costs
On May 18, 2004, we issued $125,000 of convertible subordinated debentures (“the debentures”) due 2024 in a private offering pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and outside of the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. On June 4, 2004, we issued an additional $25,000 of debentures pursuant to the exercise of an option granted to the initial purchasers. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including potential acquisitions. The debentures have been registered with the SEC for resale under the Securities Act of 1933.
The debentures bear interest at a rate of 1.75% per annum and interest is payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning November 15, 2004. The debentures are convertible, under certain circumstances, into our common stock at a conversion rate of 41.0627 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of debentures for a total of 6,159,405 shares. This is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $24.35 per share. The debentures are convertible if (a) during any calendar quarter, the market price of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price per share for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the previous calendar quarter, (b) the trading price of the debentures declines to less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of our common stock and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of $1,000 principal amount of the debentures for five consecutive trading days, (c) a call for redemption occurs, or (d) in the event of certain other specified corporate transactions. We may redeem some or all of the debentures for cash on or after May 15, 2011 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest. The holders of the debentures have the right to require us to purchase all or a portion of their debentures on May 15, 2011, May 15, 2014 and May 15, 2019 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The debentures are unsecured obligations and are subordinated in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior debt and effectively subordinated to all existing and future debt of our subsidiaries. At December 31, 2004, we had no senior debt outstanding and our subsidiaries had approximately $1,358 of liabilities to which the debentures were effectively subordinated.
The fees associated with the issuance of the convertible debentures included $4,500 withheld from the proceeds and $455 paid in cash. The fees have been capitalized and are included in long term assets on the balance sheet. The fees are being amortized over a period of 7 years. Total amortization of debt issuance costs during the year ended December 31, 2004 was $472.
NOTE 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
We calculate earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128,Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and includes exchangeable shares. These exchangeable shares, which were issued on September 6, 2002 by Jaldi, our Canadian subsidiary, to its shareholders in connection with the Jaldi asset acquisition, have characteristics essentially equivalent to Pixelworks’ common stock.
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding includes the increased number of common shares that would be outstanding assuming the exercise of certain stock options and the vesting of certain restricted stock, when such exercise or vesting would have the effect of reducing earnings per share. In the fourth quarter of 2004, we adopted Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 04-8,The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share. As a result, diluted weighted average shares outstanding also includes the increased number of common shares that would be outstanding assuming the conversion of our convertible subordinated debentures, using the if-converted method, when such conversion would have the effect of reducing earnings per share.
The following schedule reconciles basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2004:
58
| | | | | |
| Basic weighted average shares outstanding | | | 46,672,766 | |
| Incremental shares related to conversion of long-term debt | | | 3,772,495 | |
| Incremental shares related to stock options | | | 1,604,200 | |
| Incremental shares related to restricted stock | | | 12,397 | |
| | |
|
| |
| Diluted weighted average shares outstanding | | | 52,061,858 | |
| | |
|
| |
The following schedule reconciles net income used in the calculation of basic earnings per share to net income used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2004:
| | | | | |
| Net income used in calculating basic net income per share | | $ | 21,781 | |
| Add: Interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs, net of tax | | | 1,522 | |
| | |
|
| |
| Net income used in calculating diluted net income per share | | $ | 23,303 | |
| | |
|
| |
Because of our net loss position, the following incremental shares are excluded from diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002:
| | | | | | | | | |
| Year Ended
December 31,
|

| Incremental shares related to restricted stock | | | 99,001 | | | | 91,650 | |
The following weighted average outstanding stock options are also excluded from the computation of diluted net income or loss per share for the periods presented because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market value of Pixelworks’ common stock, which has the effect of making the shares anti-dilutive:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Year Ended December 31,
|
| | | 2004
| | | | 2003
| | | | 2002

The current portion of deferred tax assets of $1,730 and $1,803 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
We have established a valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets, including net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. SFAS 109 requires that a valuation allowance be recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Although realization of the remaining net deferred tax assets is not assured, we believe that it is more likely than not that net deferred tax assets without a valuation allowance will be realized. We consider projected future taxable income, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies when making this assessment. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2004 was a decrease of $4,462, of which $418, $2,304 and $1,740 was allocated to the provision for income taxes, shareholders’ equity and goodwill, respectively. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 was an increase of $1,692 and $4,371 respectively.
Certain subsequently recognized tax benefits related to the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2004 will be allocated as a reduction to goodwill in the amount of approximately $8,577.
As of December 31, 2004, we have federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $14,764, $24,254 and $6,432, respectively, which will expire between the years 2007 and 2022. As of December 31, 2004, we have generated federal, state and foreign research and experimentation credit carryforwards of approximately $4,259, $3,255 and $500, respectively, which will expire between the years 2005 and 2024. Utilization of acquired net operating loss and credit carryforwards are subject to certain annual limitations when there is a change of more than 50% ownership. Such a change occurred with the acquisitions of nDSP and Jaldi during 2002.
We have undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries of approximately $3,457 at December 31, 2004, for which deferred taxes have not been provided. Such earnings are considered indefinitely invested outside of the United States. If repatriated, some of these earnings could generate foreign tax credits that may reduce the federal tax liability associated with any future foreign dividend.
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 109-2,Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (“FSP 109-2”). FSP 109-2 provides guidance for recording the potential impact of the repatriation provisions of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Jobs Act”) on an entity’s income tax expense and deferred tax liability. FSP 109-2 states that an entity is
61
allowed time beyond the financial reporting period of enactment to evaluate the effect of the Jobs Act on its plan for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings for purposes of applying SFAS 109. The Jobs Act was enacted on October 22, 2004. While we have not yet completed our evaluation of the impact of the provisions of FSP 109-2, we currently believe that it will not have a material impact on our financial statements. Accordingly, as provided for in FSP 109-2, we have not adjusted tax expense or recorded a deferred tax liability to reflect the repatriation provisions of the Jobs Act.
NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Royalties
We license technology from third-parties and have agreed to pay certain suppliers a per unit royalty based on either the number of chips sold or manufactured, or the net sales price of the chips containing the licensed technology. We recorded $2,493, $1,798 and $826 in royalty expense for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
401(k) Plan
We have a profit-sharing plan for eligible employees under the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k). Participants may defer a percentage of their annual compensation on a pre-tax basis, not to exceed the dollar limit that is set by law. A discretionary matching contribution by the Company is allowed and is equal to a uniform percentage of the amount of salary reduction elected to be deferred, which percentage will be determined each year by the Company. The Company made no contributions to the 401(k) plan during 2004, 2003 or 2002.
Leases
We lease office space and office equipment under operating leases that expire at various dates through 2009. Future minimum payments under the leases are as follows:
| | | | | | |
Year Ending December 31,
| | | | |
| | 2005 | | $ | 3,220 | |
| | 2006 | | | 1,986 | |

| | 2009 | | | 69 | |
| | | |
|
| |
| | | | $ | 6,635 | |
| | | |
|
| |
Minimum lease payments above are net of sublease rentals of $95 and $40 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $2,942, $2,817 and $2,330, respectively.
Contract Manufacturers
In the normal course of business, we commit to purchase products from our contract manufacturers to be delivered within the next 90 days. In certain situations, should we cancel an order, we could be required to pay cancellation fees. Such obligations could impact our immediate results of operations but would not materially affect our business.
Indemnifications
Certain of our software license agreements include limited indemnification provisions for claims from third-parties relating to our intellectual property. Such indemnification provisions are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 5,Accounting for Contingencies. The indemnification is limited to the amount paid by the customer. As of December 31, 2004, we have not incurred any material liabilities arising from these indemnifications, however in the future, such obligations could impact our immediate results of operations but would not materially affect our business.

NOTE 7. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $.001 per share. The Board of Directors is authorized to fix or alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to, or imposed on, each series of preferred stock.
As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, there is one series of preferred stock designated as the Special Voting Share Series. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, there is one voting share issued and outstanding. The series was designated and the share was issued in 2002 in connection with our Jaldi asset acquisition. The voting share entitles the holders of exchangeable shares (see below) to vote on any matters that come before the Pixelworks common shareholders.
The holder of the voting share is not entitled to receive dividends. In the event of any dissolution of the Company, the holder of the voting share is entitled to be paid out of the net assets of the Company an amount equal to $0.001, before any payment is made to the holders of common stock.
Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $.001 per share. Shareholders of common stock have unlimited voting rights and are entitled to receive the net assets of the corporation upon dissolution, subject to the rights of the preferred shareholders.
Exchangeable Shares
In connection with the Jaldi asset acquisition, Jaldi issued 1,731,099 exchangeable shares to its shareholders. The voting share described above is held in trust for the benefit of the holders of the exchangeable shares and provides the holders of the exchangeable shares with dividend, voting and other rights equivalent to those of Pixelworks’ common shareholders. These exchangeable shares are the economic equivalent of Pixelworks’ common shares, and may be exchanged at any time for Pixelworks common stock on a one-for-one basis.
Note Receivable for Common Stock
During 1999, options to purchase 305,937 shares of common stock were exchanged for 305,937 shares of common stock subject to vesting in exchange for a note receivable. The note receivable was due and payable the earlier of (i) August 31, 2008 or (ii) upon termination of the borrower’s employment. Interest payments at the rate of 6% were due and payable annually. The note was secured by the shares of common stock issued thereunder. The note was paid in full in 2002 and as of December 31, 2003 all shares were fully vested.
Stock Option Plans
Under our 1997 Stock Incentive Plan and 2001 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (the “option plans”), 18,340,116 and 4,000,000 stock options, respectively, may be granted. Options granted under the plans must generally be exercised while the individual is an employee and within ten years of the date of grant. The new-hire vesting schedule provides that each option becomes exercisable at a rate of 25% on the first anniversary date of the grant, and 2.08% on the last day of every month thereafter for a total of thirty-six additional increments. The merit vesting schedule provides that options become exercisable monthly for a period of four years, with 10% becoming exercisable in the first year, 20% becoming exercisable in the second year, 30% becoming exercisable in the third year and 40% becoming exercisable in the fourth year.

NOTE 9. RESTRUCTURING
In September 2003, we initiated a restructuring to better position the Company to compete in the advanced television market. The restructuring included the discontinuation of research and development efforts related to two products.
As a result of these actions, we determined that certain tangible and intangible assets related to the discontinued development efforts were permanently impaired because there were no alternate uses for them. Impaired assets included tooling, licensed technology and prepaid royalties.
The restructuring also resulted in a reduction-in-force of 28 employees during the fourth quarter of 2003. These employees were given one-time severance benefits, which were expensed and paid in the fourth quarter of 2003 on the date of employee communication.
We also subleased approximately 4,000 square feet of our California office as a result of the restructuring. We included the present value of the difference between the future minimum lease payments and the non-cancelable sublease rentals in restructuring expense during the fourth quarter of 2003. The lease liability remaining at December 31, 2004 and 2003 is included in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
The total costs associated with the restructuring were as follows:
| | | | | |
| Asset disposals | | $ | 3,927 | |
| One-time termination benefits | | | 916 | |
| Lease costs | | | 188 | |
| Other | | | 18 | |
| | |
| |
| | | $ | 5,049 | |
| | |
| |
We did not incur any costs related to this restructuring in 2004 and will not incur any additional costs related to this restructuring in future periods.
NOTE 10. GENESIS MICROCHIP TRANSACTION
On March 17, 2003, we announced the execution of a definitive merger agreement with Genesis Microchip. On August 5, 2003, we entered into an agreement terminating the merger agreement. In the termination agreement, we agreed to pay a termination fee of $5,500 to Genesis Microchip. The fee was payable upon execution of the termination agreement, and was recognized as an expense in the third quarter of 2003. Total expenses related to the proposed merger during the year ended December 31, 2003 were $8,949.
NOTE 11. ACQUISITIONS
Jaldi
On January 30, 2001, we made an investment of $7,500 in Jaldi, a development stage semiconductor company. On September 6, 2002, we acquired the remaining equity interest in Jaldi in exchange for an undertaking to issue 1,731,099 shares of Pixelworks’ common stock upon the exchange of Jaldi exchangeable shares plus the assumption of all outstanding Jaldi stock options. The acquisition was aimed at expanding our product offerings and increasing revenue growth. The acquisition was accounted for as an asset purchase and the results of Jaldi’s operations are included in Pixelworks’ financial statements beginning on September 6, 2002.
66
The total purchase price of $24,988 was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on management’s analysis and estimates of fair values. Assets acquired included in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) valued at $20,142 and an assembled workforce valued at $2,909. The IPR&D was expensed on the date of the acquisition in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 4 (“FIN 4”),Applicability of FASB Statement No. 2 to Business Combinations Accounted for by the Purchase Method.Jaldi had two products under development at the acquisition date contributing 70% and 30% of the total IPR&D value. As of the acquisition date, the development projects ranged from 70% to 90% complete. Since the date of the acquisition, both of the products in development have been completed.
nDSP
On January 14, 2002, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of nDSP, a fabless semiconductor company, in exchange for 1,185,995 shares of Pixelworks’ common stock. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and the results of nDSP’s operations are included in Pixelworks’ financial statements beginning on January 14, 2002.
The total purchase price of $20,971 was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on management’s analysis and estimates of fair values. Assets acquired include IPR&D valued at $4,200 and acquired developed technology valued at $3,700. The IPR&D was expensed on the date of the acquisition in accordance with FIN 4. nDSP had three products under development at the acquisition date, each contributing from 7% to 64% of the total IPR&D value. As of the acquisition date, the development projects ranged from 20% to 80% complete. Since the date of the acquisition, two of the products in development have been completed. Development of the third product was discontinued, however the video and de-interlacing technology from this product was integrated into another Pixelworks product.
The excess purchase price over the identifiable tangible and intangible assets was $14,371 and was allocated to goodwill. The acquisition was aimed at expanding our product offerings and driving revenue growth and this supported the premium paid over the fair value of the assets acquired. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

NOTE 13. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123 (Revised),Share Based Payment. This revision replaced the existing SFAS No. 123 to no longer allow public companies to apply the intrinsic value based method of accounting for stock compensation described in Opinion 25. Under the revised statement, public entities must measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost must be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (usually the vesting period). The statement also requires the recognition of compensation expense for the fair value of any unvested stock option awards outstanding at the date of adoption over the remaining vesting period. The statement may be adopted using a modified prospective or modified retrospective approach, and it is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005. While we are still in the process of determining how we will adopt the statement and what the impact will be on our financial statements, we do expect it to have an adverse effect on our consolidated statements of operations and earnings per share.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, and due to the existence of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2004, our disclosure controls and procedures were not adequate to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. This material weakness resulted from the inadequate design of internal control related to management’s review of the Company’s accounting for income taxes and related disclosures (as described below in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting). No other material weaknesses were identified.
(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of internal control over financial reporting as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.
We conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004. In conducting this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) inInternal Control—Integrated Framework. As a result of our assessment, we identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting which resulted from the inadequate design of internal control related to management's review of the Company's accounting for income taxes and related disclosures.
The aforementioned deficiency in the design of internal control relating to the adequacy of management’s review of the Company's accounting for income taxes could have resulted in a material misstatement of income tax amounts reported in our annual or interim consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. A material weakness is a control deficiency that results in a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As a result of the aforementioned material weakness, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2004.
KPMG LLP has audited and issued their report on our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004. KPMG LLP’s report appears below.
(c) Changes to Internal Controls
In response to the material weakness discussed above, during the first quarter of 2005, we strengthened our internal controls over the review of our income tax accounting procedures by significantly increasing the scope of our outside tax expert’s review engagement, and by formalizing policies and procedures to ensure appropriate communication and follow up of comments noted by expert reviewers.
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2004 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

(d) Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Pixelworks, Inc.:
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (Item 9A(d)), that Pixelworks Inc. (the “Company”), did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, because of the effect of the material weakness identified in management’s assessment, based on criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management’s assessment: As of December 31, 2004, management identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting which resulted from the inadequate design of internal control related to management’s review of the Company’s accounting for income taxes and related disclosures. This deficiency in internal control over financial reporting could have resulted in a material misstatement of income tax amounts reported in the Company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
69
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Pixelworks, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004. The aforementioned material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2004 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated March 15, 2005, which expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, management’s assessment that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO. Also, in our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based oncriteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
