These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTE 1 — THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The Company
In-Chip Systems, Inc. (the “Company”), provides logic platforms for semiconductor system-on-chip applications. The Company’s platforms are used by consumer products manufacturers to cost-effectively reduce their time-to-market and increase semiconductor chip yields in the development of sophisticated high volume system-on chips for a variety of applications. In addition to licensing its architectures, the Company provides services in areas of silicon design rules optimization and cell library design. The Company is incorporated in the state of California.
On May 24, 2002, the acquisition of the Company by Virage Logic Corporation (“Virage Logic”) was consummated. These financial statements have been prepared on a historical basis and do not reflect any adjustments resulting from Virage Logic’s application of purchase accounting.
Interim results (unaudited)
The accompanying balance sheet as of March 31, 2002, the statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2002, and related note disclosures herein are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the results of these periods. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The data disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for these periods are unaudited.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition
The Company’s revenue is derived primarily from the licensing of intellectual property related to the Company’s logic platforms and providing related engineering and design services.
For each arrangement, the Company determines whether persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, there are no significant remaining Company obligations, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. If any of these criteria are not met, revenue recognition is deferred until such time as all criteria are met.
Licenses of intellectual property with no associated engineering or design services typically provide the licensee with limited consulting services for a period of one year or less subsequent to the date of the license. For these arrangements, the Company recognizes the consulting services and the license fee together upon delivery of the software in accordance with paragraph 59 of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition. Accordingly, the Company does not defer maintenance revenues over the life of the license arrangement but rather accrues the estimated cost of support at the time license revenues are recognized. These costs of support to date have not been significant.
Licenses of intellectual property with associated cell library design and engineering services are recognized together as the cell libraries are delivered. Such arrangements also typically include limited consulting services. The consulting services are recognized consistent with the recognition of services provided with stand-alone license arrangements as described above.
Revenue from fixed price service arrangements is recognized using the percentage of completion method based on the ratio of costs incurred to the total estimated project costs. Revenue from time and materials service arrangements is recognized as services are rendered.
Provisions for losses on contracts are made on a contract by contract basis and are recognized in the period in which such losses become probable and can be reasonably estimated. To date, the Company has not incurred any losses from completed or uncompleted contracts.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost, which approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s borrowings approximates their fair value given their market rates of interest and maturity schedules.
Business risk and concentration of credit risk
The Company operates in the competitive semiconductor industry, which is characterized by rapid technological advances, changes in customer requirements and industry standards. Any failure by the Company to anticipate or to respond adequately to technological developments in its industry, changes in customer requirements or industry standards, or any significant delays in the development or introduction of products or services, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and operating results.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents, primarily composed of deposits and investments in money market funds, are maintained with two financial institutions and the composition and maturities are regularly monitored by management. Deposits at any time may exceed federally insured limits. The Company’s customers are primarily large multinational corporations. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Credit losses to date have been insignificant.

Research and development costs
Costs related to research, design and development of intellectual property are charged to expense as incurred until technological feasibility has been established. The Company believes its current development process is essentially completed concurrently with the establishment of technological feasibility; accordingly, development costs incurred after the establishment of technological feasibility have been insignificant.
Income taxes
In-Chip Systems, Inc. is an S corporation for federal and California, Minnesota and Pennsylvania tax purposes and, as such, was not subject to federal income taxes and was subject only to state taxes of approximately 1.5% of taxable income for the periods presented. The Company made annual distributions to its shareholders in amounts sufficient to pay income taxes applicable to each shareholder’s taxable income resulting from the S corporation status. The Company incurred tax expense relating to certain foreign withholding taxes for which a foreign tax credit was not available due to the Company’s S corporation status.
Comprehensive income
The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” which establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. Comprehensive income includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income (loss) has equaled net income (loss) for all periods presented.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over their useful lives ranging from three to seven years, using the straight-line method. Upon retirement or sale, the costs of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation expense was $50,000 and $94,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively, and $14,000 (unaudited) and $21,000 (unaudited) for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company’s intangible assets consist primarily of patents contributed by the founder of the Company, which were recorded at their estimated fair value on the date of the contribution of $700,000. The patents are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of 20 years. Amortization expense of patents was $35,000, $35,000, $9,000 (unaudited) and $9,000 (unaudited) in the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, and for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively. The net book value of the patents was $561,000, $525,000 and $516,000 (unaudited) at December 31, 2000 and 2001, and March 31, 2002, respectively.
Long-lived assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of (“SFAS 121”). SFAS 121 requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets.
Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” (“APB No. 25”) and complies with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”). Under APB No. 25, unearned compensation is based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant, between the fair value of the Company’s stock and the exercise price. Unearned stock-based compensation is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the option. To date, no unearned compensation has been recorded.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services.”
Recent accounting pronouncements
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (“SFAS 142”), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS 142 requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization. In addition, the standard includes provisions upon adoption for the reclassification of certain existing recognized intangibles as goodwill, reassessment of the useful lives of existing recognized intangibles, reclassification of certain intangibles out of previously reported goodwill and the testing for impairment of existing goodwill and other intangibles. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS 142 will not have an impact on its financial statements.
In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 (“SFAS 143”), “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This statement applies to all entities. It applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations or lessees. SFAS 143 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 25, 2002. The Company expects that the initial application of SFAS 143 will not have a material impact on its financial statements.
In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (“SFAS 144”), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets.” The objectives of SFAS 144 are to address significant issues relating to the implementation of FASB Statement 121 (“SFAS 121’), “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of,” and to develop a single accounting model, based on the framework established by SFAS 121, for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired. Although SFAS 144 supercedes SFAS 121, it retains some fundamental provisions of SFAS 121. SFAS 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company believes the initial application of SFAS 144 will not have a material impact on its financial statements.
In May 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145 (“SFAS 145”), “Rescission of FASB Statements Nos. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.” SFAS 145 eliminates Statement 4 (and Statement 64, as it amends Statement 4), which requires gains and losses from extinguishments of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of the related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in APB Opinion No. 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. SFAS No. 145 amends FASB Statement No. 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions are accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. This amendment is consistent with the FASB’s goal of requiring similar accounting treatment for transactions that have similar economic effects. In addition, SFAS No. 145 makes technical corrections to existing pronouncements. While those corrections are not substantive in nature, in some instances, they may change accounting practice. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 2002 for the provisions related to the rescission of Statements 4 and 64, and for all transactions entered into beginning May 2002 for the provision related to the amendment of Statement 13 although early adoption is permitted. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS 145 will not have an impact on its financial statements.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities’” (“SFAS 146”). SFAS 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs that are associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently accounted for under EITF No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” The scope of SFAS 146 also includes costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease and termination benefits that employees who are involuntarily terminated receive under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred-compensation contract. SFAS 146 will be effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 and early application is encouraged. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS 146 will not have an impact on its financial statements.

NOTE 5 — COMMITMENTS:
Leases
The Company leases office space under noncancelable operating leases with various expiration dates through 2003. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 was $74,000 and $124,000, respectively. The terms of the facility lease provide for rental payments on a graduated scale. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period, and has accrued for rent expense incurred but not paid.
Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases are as follows:
| | | | |

NOTE 6 — COMMON STOCK:
The Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorize the Company to issue 15,000,000 shares of no par value Common Stock. A portion of the shares sold are subject to a right of repurchase by the Company, subject to vesting, which is generally over a four year period beginning from the earlier of grant date or employee hire date, as applicable. At December 31, 2001, there were 229,250 shares subject to repurchase.
As of January 1, 2000, the Company had notes receivable from shareholders of $70,000 which are reflected as a component of shareholders’ equity. During 2000, the Company issued an additional 788,000 shares of common stock in exchange for notes receivable amounting to $591,000. The purchase price of the restricted common stock was the fair value of the common stock on the date of purchase. The notes receivable are full recourse with interest rates ranging from 6.5% to 9.0% and are repayable four years from the date of issuance. During 2001, the Company did not issue any restricted common stock in exchange for notes receivable.
During 2001, the Company repurchased approximately 935,000 shares of common stock for amounts generally equal to the original purchase price. Of the shares repurchased, approximately 838,000 were originally issued in exchange for notes receivable from employees. Proceeds from these repurchases were used to satisfy the notes receivable. To the extent that the repurchase price exceeded the fair market value at the time of repurchase, the Company recorded compensation expense in the aggregate of $394,000. In a single instance, the Company repurchased shares at the fair market value at the time of repurchase which was below the original purchase price. After the application of the repurchase proceeds, the Company forgave the remaining balance of the original note receivable of $31,000 and the associated accrued interest of $20,000. The Company recorded compensation expense of $51,000 associated with this forgiveness of notes receivable.
During 2001, the Company issued 158,000 shares of common stock in conjunction with employee severance agreements. Compensation expense in the aggregate of $39,000, representing the fair value of the common stock on the date of issuance, was recorded in connection with these severance agreements.
NOTE 7 — STOCK OPTION PLANS:
In May 2001, the Company adopted the 2001 Incentive and Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for the granting of stock options to employees and consultants of the Company. Options granted under the Plan may be either incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. Incentive stock options (“ISO”) may be granted only to Company employees (including officers and directors who are also employees). Nonqualified stock options (“NSO”) may be granted to Company employees and consultants. The Company has reserved 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the Plan.
Options under the Plan may be granted for periods of up to ten years and at prices no less than 85% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant as determined by the Board of Directors, provided, however, that (i) the exercise price of an ISO and NSO shall not be less than 100% and 85% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant, respectively, and (ii) the exercise price of an ISO and NSO granted to a 10% shareholder shall not be less than 110% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant, respectively. Options are exercisable immediately subject to repurchase options held by the Company which lapse over a maximum period of ten years at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Board of Directors. To date, options granted generally vest over four years.
All options granted during 2001 had an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. As such, no deferred compensation was recorded. There were no options granted during 2000.
Activity under the Plan is summarized as follows:

Fair value disclosures
Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock-based compensation plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for the awards under a method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net loss would not have been materially different.
The Company calculated the fair value of each option grant on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing method with the following assumptions: dividend yield at 100%; weighted average expected option term of three years; and risk free interest rate of 4.59% for the year ended December 31, 2001. The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted during 2001 was $0.25.
NOTE 8 — EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN:
The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan covering all employees. Contributions made by the Company are determined annually by the Board of Directors. No employer contributions under this plan were made in the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively.
NOTE 9 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
In May 2002, the Board approved an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance to 19,000,000 total shares. At this time, the Board also approved an increase in the number of shares available for purchase via stock option exercise to a total of 8,000,000 shares.
