FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
TECHWELL, INC.
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2009
AND FOR THE YEAR THEN ENDED

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Techwell, Inc.
San Jose, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Techwell Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009. 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Techwell, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 23, 2010 (not included herein) expressed an adverse opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting because of a material weakness.

TECHWELL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization. Techwell, Inc. (“Techwell” or the “Company”) was incorporated in California on 1997 and reincorporated in Delaware on 2006. The Company is a fabless semiconductor company that designs, markets and sells mixed signal integrated circuits for two primary markets: security surveillance and automotive infotainment.
The Company’s headquarters is located in San Jose, California. The Company’s international offices include branch offices in South Korea and Taiwan and subsidiaries in China and Japan. These offices provide marketing support to customers. The China and Japan offices are also involved in product development.
Basis of Presentation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company and its subsidiaries use the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. Most of the expenses at the subsidiaries are incurred in local currency. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses as they occur. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company reports its financial results on a calendar fiscal year.
In June 2009 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), established the Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”), as the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB. The Codification is effective in the first interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance 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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Investments. The Company considers all investments purchased with a maturity of one year or more as of December 31, 2009 to be long-term investments. The Company determines the fair value of its investments using quoted market prices. Investments, with the exception of auction rate securities (“ARS”) which were classified as trading starting in the fourth quarter of 2008, are considered available-for-sale and are carried at fair market value based on market quotes. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, except for unrealized losses determined to be other-than-temporary, which are recorded as interest income. Realized gains and losses are recorded based on the specific identification method.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash equivalents, short-term and long-term marketable securities. Authoritative guidance clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, and also requires that a fair value measurement reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available. Assumptions include the risks inherent in a particular valuation technique (such as a pricing model) and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the model.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Concentration of Credit Risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, investments and trade receivables. Risks associated with cash and cash equivalents are mitigated by banking with creditworthy institutions and the Company’s investments have investment grade ratings when purchased. Additionally, the Company limits the amount invested by maturity, type of security and issuer. The Company’s accounts receivable are substantially derived from customers located in Asia. The Company generally requires letters of credit or advance payments from customers. The Company also performs credit evaluations of its customers and provides credit to certain customers in the normal course of business. The Company has not incurred bad debt write-offs during any of the periods presented.
The revenue and accounts receivable from customers representing 10% or more of total revenue and accounts receivable are as follows:
Accounts Receivable at December 31, | Revenue | ||||||||||||||
Year Ended December 31, | |||||||||||||||
Customer | 2009 | 2008 | 2009 | 2008 | 2007 | ||||||||||

G | * | 20 | * | * | * | ||||||||||
H | * | 11 | * | * | * |

Concentration of Supplier Risk. The Company is a fabless producer of semiconductors and is dependent on two subcontractors for substantially all of its production requirements. The failure of either subcontractor to fulfill the production requirements of the Company on a timely basis would adversely impact future results. Although there are other subcontractors that are capable of providing similar services, an unexpected change in either subcontractor would cause delays in the Company’s products and potential significant loss of revenue.
Inventory. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market, computed on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory consists of work in process (principally processed wafers and products at third-party assembly and test subcontractors) and finished goods. The Company’s products are subject to rapid technological obsolescence and severe price competition. Should the Company experience a substantial unanticipated decline in the selling price of, or demand for, its products, a significant charge to operations could result. The Company evaluates inventory for excess and obsolescence and writes off units which are not expected to be sold based upon demand forecasts. If actual future demand for the Company’s products is less than amounts forecasted, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Once inventory costs are written down, such revised costs are maintained until the product is sold or scrapped.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Property and Equipment. Property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are recorded at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally ranging from three to five years, or in the case of leasehold improvements, over the shorter of the lease period or the estimated useful life.
Other Long-Lived Assets. Other long-lived assets primarily represent rights acquired under developed technology and IPR&D. We currently amortize our intangible assets with definitive lives over a period of five years using a method that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed or otherwise used up or, if that pattern cannot be reliably determined, using a straight-line amortization method. We capitalize IPR&D projects acquired in business combinations and consider them to be indefinite lived until completion of the project or abandonment of the asset. On completion of each project, IPR&D assets will be amortized over their estimated useful lives. If any of the projects are abandoned, the Company would be required to impair the related IPR&D asset.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company tests for the impairment of long-lived assets, including other purchased intangible assets, when indicators of impairment, such as reductions in demand, or significant economic slowdowns in the semiconductor industry, are present. Reviews are performed to determine whether the carrying value of an asset is impaired, based on comparisons to undiscounted expected future cash flows. If this comparison indicates that there is impairment, the impaired asset is written down to fair value, which is typically calculated using discounted expected future cash flows utilizing an appropriate discount rate. Impairment is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. Until completion or abandonment, IPR&D assets are required to be tested annually for impairment by comparing the fair value to the carrying value.
In 2008, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $0.3 million for equipment that was deemed impaired. This charge was included within research and development expense. The Company did not incur impairment losses in 2009 or 2007.
Other Assets. Other assets consist primarily of long-term lease deposits.
Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes product revenue when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. These criteria are usually met at the time of product shipment. The Company does not allow for price protection or stock rotation rights with any of its customers.
Customers have no rights of return except pursuant to the Company’s product warranty. The Company has no other post-shipment obligations and sales are not subject to customer acceptance provisions.
Product Warranty. The Company offers an 18 month product replacement warranty. The Company accrues for estimated returns of defective products based on historical activity at the time revenue is recognized. The determination of these accruals requires the Company to make estimates of the frequency and extent of warranty activity and estimated future costs to replace the products under warranty. If the actual warranty activity and/or repair and replacement costs differ significantly from these estimates, adjustments to recognize additional cost of sales may be required in future periods.

However, returns of defective products have been infrequent and the quantities have not been significant. Accordingly, historical warranty costs have not been material for the periods presented. A summary of the accrued warranty, which is included in accrued liabilities, is as follows (in thousands):
Year Ended December 31, | ||||||||||||
2009 | 2008 | 2007 | ||||||||||
Balance at beginning of the period | $ | 34 | $ | 50 | $ | 47 | ||||||

Cost incurred | (25 | ) | (16 | ) | (22 | ) | ||||||
Balance at end of the period | $ | 63 | $ | 34 | $ | 50 | ||||||
Research and Development. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Advertising Costs. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are not significant in any of the periods presented.
Deferred Taxes and Uncertain Tax Positions. The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, under which deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold to be recognized. Income tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the consolidated statements of operations as income tax expense.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is currently under examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service for the tax years 2007 and 2008. Management believes that it has adequately provided for any adjustments that may result from this examination, however, the outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty. Should any issues addressed in the Company’s tax audits be resolved in a manner not consistent with management’s expectations, the Company will be required to adjust its provision for income tax in the period such resolution occurs.
Stock-Based Compensation. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with authoritative guidance. In 2009, 2008 and 2007, stock-based compensation expense includes compensation costs related to estimated fair values of stock options and awards granted after January 1, 2006 and compensation costs related to awards outstanding at January 1, 2006, such as unvested stock options, that were recognized based on the intrinsic values. For options granted after January 1, 2006, the Company uses the straight-line method for expense attribution. For options granted prior to January 1, 2006, the Company uses the multiple grant approach for expense attribution, which results in substantially higher amounts of amortization in earlier years as opposed to the straight-line method, which results in equal amortization over the vesting period of the options.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The fair value of options granted after January 1, 2006 is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. For 2009 and 2008, the expected term assumption calculation was based on historical data as adjusted for any changes in future expectations. For 2007, the Company used the simplified calculation of expected term. For 2009 and 2008, the Company relied exclusively on historical volatility for the expected volatility assumption calculation since it does not have any publicly traded options. For 2007, volatility was based on an average of the historical volatilities of the common stock of several entities with characteristics similar to the Company since its stock had been actively trading for only a short period of time. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of the option and the estimated forfeiture rate is based on the Company’s historical pre-vest cancellation experience.
The following assumptions were used to value stock options granted in the periods presented:
Year Ended December 31, | |||||||||
2009 | 2008 | 2007 | |||||||
Expected term (years) | 4.34 | 4.28 | 6.08 | ||||||
Risk-free interest rate | 1.5–2.0 | % | 1.8–2.9 | % | 4.6–4.8 | % | |||
Expected volatility | 53.0–54.0 | % | 51.0–64.0 | % | 65.1–70.6 | % | |||
Expected dividend | — | — | — |
Stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock awards is determined using the fair value of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period.
Stock-based compensation expense is allocated among cost of revenue, research and development expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, based upon the employee’s job function.
Net Income Per Share. Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period excluding shares subject to repurchase. Diluted net income per common share reflects the effects of potentially dilutive securities, which consist of common stock options (calculated using the treasury stock method) and restricted awards and shares subject to repurchase. A reconciliation of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share is as follows (in thousands):

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
In 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, 2.1 million, 1.2 million and 1.3 million shares associated with stock options and restricted awards outstanding and unvested shares subject to repurchase have been excluded from the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the diluted net income per share computation as they are anti-dilutive.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Accumulated other comprehensive income consists of net unrealized gains on available-for-sale investments. The change in unrealized gains on investments in 2009, 2008 and 2007 was an increase of $43,000, $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Total comprehensive income for 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $3.5 million, 7.9 million and $14.8 million, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In December 2007 the FASB issued authoritative guidance on business combinations, which established principles and requirements for the acquirer of a business to recognize and measure in its financial statements the identifiable assets (including in-process research and development and defensive assets) acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Prior to the adoption of this guidance, in-process research and development costs were immediately expensed and acquisition costs were capitalized. Under this guidance, all acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. The standard also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. In April 2009, the FASB updated this guidance to amend the provisions for the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosures for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations. This update also eliminates the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies. The effect of this authoritative guidance has been applied to the acquisition completed by the Company during 2009 and is reflected in the 2009 consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly, recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments and interim

disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, which are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. This authoritative guidance provides guidance on how to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities in the current economic environment and reemphasizes that the objective of a fair value measurement remains an exit price, modifies the requirements for recognizing other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities and revises the existing impairment model for such securities, by modifying the current intent and ability indicator in determining whether an investment in a debt security is other-than-temporarily impaired, and enhances the disclosure of instruments for both interim and annual periods. Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of the guidance. The adoption of the guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
2. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s investments consist of corporate bonds, U.S. government agency securities, commercial paper and auction rate securities (“ARS”). Investments, with the exception of ARS which are currently classified as trading, are considered available-for-sale. With the exception of ARS, they are all carried at fair market value based on market quotes. The Company’s investment in ARS was intended to provide liquidity via an auction process that resets the applicable interest rate at predetermined calendar intervals, allowing investors to either roll over their holdings or gain immediate liquidity by selling such interests at par. During 2008, uncertainties in the credit markets affected all of the Company’s holdings in ARS investments and auctions for the Company’s investments in these securities failed to settle on their respective settlement dates. Consequently, the investments are not currently liquid and the Company will not be able to access these funds until a future auction of these investments is successful or a buyer is found outside of the auction process. All of the ARS investments were investment grade quality and were in compliance with the Company’s investment policy at the time of acquisition.
During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with one of its investment providers, which currently holds its ARS and from whom it had purchased the ARS, to sell, at the Company’s discretion, at par value all of the ARS currently held by the Company back to the investment provider at anytime starting in June 2010. The rights granted under the agreement represent a firm agreement, which is as an agreement with an unrelated party, binding on both parties and legally enforceable, with the following characteristics: a) the agreement specifies all significant terms, including the quantity to be exchanged, the fixed price and the time of transaction and b) the agreement includes a disincentive for nonperformance that is sufficiently large to make performance probable. The enforceability of the agreement results in a put option and should be recognized as a free standing asset separate from the ARS. The put option does not meet the definition of a derivative instrument. Therefore, the Company has elected to measure the put option at fair value, based on authoritative guidance which permits an entity to elect the fair value option for recognized financial assets. As a result, realized gains and losses will be included in earnings in the period in which they arise.
With the acceptance of the offer, the Company recorded $1.0 million as the fair value of the put option asset with a corresponding gain to interest income. Additionally, the Company transferred its ARS from investments classified as available-for-sale to trading. The transfer to trading reflects the Company’s intent to exercise the put option, whereas, prior to the agreement, the Company’s intent was to hold the ARS until the market recovered. Upon transfer to trading, the Company recognized a loss of $1.0 million, included as a reduction to interest income, for the amount of unrealized loss not

2. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
previously recognized in earnings. As a result of this transfer unrealized gains or losses will be included in earnings in future periods, and the Company anticipates future changes in fair value of the put option will approximate the fair value movement of the related ARS. The net impact of the change in fair value of the ARS and related put option to the Company’s operating results was nil for 2009 and 2008.
As of December 31, 2009, the entire ARS investment balance of $6.3 million is classified as short-term investments on the consolidated balance sheet because the sale of the ARS back to the investment provider is expected to occur in June 2010. As of December 31, 2008, the entire ARS investment balance of $6.0 million was classified as long-term investment on the consolidated balance sheet.
Typically the fair value of ARS investments approximates par value due to the frequent resets through the auction process. While the Company continues to earn interest on its ARS investments at the maximum contractual rate, these investments are not currently trading and therefore do not currently have a readily determinable market value. Accordingly, the estimated fair value of ARS no longer approximates par value.
The Company has used a discounted cash flow model to determine the estimated fair value of its investment in ARS in 2009 and 2008. The assumptions used in preparing the discounted cash flow model include estimates for interest rates, estimates for discount rates using yields of comparable traded instruments adjusted for illiquidity and other risk factors, amount of cash flows and expected holding periods of the ARS. These inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the ARS, including assumptions about risk, developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The put option is a free standing asset separate from the ARS, and represents the Company’s contractual right to require its investment provider to purchase the ARS at par at anytime starting in June 2010. The Company values the put option based on the amount of cash flows and expected holding periods of the related ARS, time value of money and the Company’s assessment of the credit worthiness of its investment provider.

As of December 31, 2009, the effective maturities of the Company’s available-for-sale securities are $54.8 million within one year and $35.0 million within two years. As of December 31, 2008, the effective maturities of the Company’s available-for-sale securities are $57.6 million within one year and $13.4 million within two years.
As of December 31, 2009, the unrealized losses on our available-for-sale securities were insignificant in relation to our total available-for-sale securities. Substantially all of our unrealized losses on our available-for-sale investments can be attributed to fair value fluctuations in an unstable credit environment. The Company considers the declines in market value of its available-for-sale securities to be temporary in nature. When evaluating the investments for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell, the investment before recovery of the investment’s amortized cost basis. The Company believes that the unrealized losses are temporary and do not require an other-than-temporary impairment. The Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment charges on outstanding available-for-sale securities in 2009, 2008 and 2007.
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements and the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities. The authoritative guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to level 1 inputs.
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market date is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to level 3 inputs.

(“Plan”) which was adopted by the Board of Directors in November 2005. As of December 31, 2009, the total number of shares available for issuance under the Plan was 5.1 million. The Plan contains a provision that automatically increases the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance on January 1 of each succeeding year. On January 1, 2010, the shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s Incentive Plans increased by 878,316 shares.
Under the terms of the Incentive Plans, incentive options may be granted only to employees at a price not to be less than 100 percent of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. Non-statutory options may be granted at a price that is not less than 85 percent of the fair market value on the date of grant. Stock options and awards granted under the Plans have a contractual term of up to ten years, generally vest over four years at the rate of 25 percent on the one-year anniversary of the vesting commencement date and ratably each month thereafter and are exercisable under conditions determined by the Board of Directors or committee thereof as permissible under the terms of the Plan.
At December 31, 2009, 1.8 million shares were available for grant under the Incentive Plan.

The purchase price for the asset acquisition was $3.2 million, less assumed liabilities of approximately $0.7 million. The Company paid the net purchase price in cash. In addition, the Company issued restricted stock awards, which will vest over four years, to employees in connection with their new employment with the Company. The Company also agreed to pay $1.1 million cash compensation to the new employees of which $0.8 million has been paid as of December 31, 2009. The compensation is subject to repayment upon termination prior to the completion of two years of employment. The new employees are focused on developing video solutions for the security surveillance market. As part of the purchase agreement, the Company extended employment offers to approximately 40 employees, substantially all of whom are research and development personnel. The Company incurred $0.6 million of acquisition related costs. This acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
Purchase Price Allocation
The allocation of the purchase price of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition was based on their estimated fair values.
The purchase price allocation is as follows (in thousands):
Cash | $ | 25 | ||
Property and equipment, net | 60 | |||
Developed technology | 1,400 | |||
In-process research and development | 1,662 | |||
Other assets | 46 | |||
Assumed liabilities | (573 | ) | ||
Accrued liabilities | (88 | ) | ||
Total consideration | $ | 2,532 | ||
Developed technology consists of products that have reached technological feasibility. The Company valued the developed technology utilizing a Relief from Royalty method, which is based on the assumption that a company would be willing to pay a royalty to the owner of an asset to exploit the economic benefits deriving from the asset. The royalty rate used is based on an analysis of empirical, market-derived royalty rates for guideline intangible assets. Typically, revenue is projected over the expected remaining useful life of the completed technology. The market-derived royalty rate is then applied to estimate the royalty savings. Completed technology is specific to certain products acquired that have also passed technological feasibility.
The fair value of the IPR&D was determined using the income approach. Under the income approach, the expected future cash flows from each project under development are estimated and discounted to their net present values at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate of return. Significant factors considered in the calculation of the rate of return are the weighted average cost of capital and return on assets, as well as the risks inherent in the development process, including the likelihood of achieving technological success and market acceptance. Each project was analyzed to determine the unique technological innovations, the existence and reliance on core technology, the existence of any alternative future use or current technological feasibility, and the complexity, cost and time to complete the remaining development. Future cash flows for each project were estimated based on forecasted revenue and costs, taking into account the expected product life cycles, market penetration and growth rates.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Indemnification Obligations
Subject to certain limitations, the Company is obligated to indemnify its current and former directors, officers and employees in connection with government inquiries and litigation. These obligations arise under the terms of the Company’s certificate of incorporation, its bylaws, applicable contracts, and Delaware and California law. The obligation to indemnify generally means that the Company is required to pay or reimburse the individuals’ reasonable legal expenses and possibly damages and other liabilities incurred in connection with these matters. Additionally, the Company has certain indemnification obligations to customers under its contract development projects with respect to any infringement of third-party patents and intellectual property rights by its products.
Rights Agreement
On August 4, 2009, the Company entered into a Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”) with Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (as “Rights Agent”). In connection with entering into the Rights Agreement, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend distribution of one “Right” for each outstanding share of common stock of the Company to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 18, 2009. Subject to certain limitations and exceptions, each Right, when exercisable, entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of a new series of preferred stock, designated as Series A Participating Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”), at a price of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) per one one-thousandth of a share (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment.

As required, the Company assessed the recoverability of its deferred tax assets. To assess the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from taxable income, the Company considered both positive evidence that indicates a valuation allowance is not needed and negative evidence that indicates a valuation allowance is needed. As a result of this assessment as of December 31, 2009 in which the Company considered its recent history of consecutive profitable quarters and anticipated profit in future periods, the Company believes that it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will be realized in the future.
As a result of the Company’s assessment in 2007, in which the company considered its recent history of consecutive profitable quarters and anticipated profit in future periods, the company released the valuation allowance recorded against its deferred tax assets of approximately $5.5 million as it believed that it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would be realized in the future.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had no federal or state net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income. As of December 31, 2009, the Company also has research and other tax credit carryforwards of approximately $0.1 million and $2.7 million for federal and state income tax purposes, respectively. If not utilized, the federal carryforwards, will expire in various amounts beginning in 2029. The state tax credit can be carried forward indefinitely. The Company also has a California alternative minimum tax credit carryover of $12,000, and this credit does not expire.
