Correlant Communications, Inc.

1. Summary of Significant Account Policies
Correlant Communications, Inc. (Correlant or the Company) was incorporated in California on February 13, 1996 under the name TurboNet Communications, Inc. and reincorporated in Delaware on October 4, 2000 as Correlant Communications, Inc. The Company designs, develops, and markets standards-based, high-speed data over cable technology, including cable modems and Cable Modem Termination Systems (CMTS) for resale to corporate telecommuters, small office/home office, and residential users domestically and internationally. During the current year, the Company changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to June 30 to coincide with its parent company year end.
On March 15, 1999 Lotus Pacific Corporation (Lotus) acquired a majority interest in the Company in a purchase transaction whereby Lotus purchased approximately 81% of the outstanding shares of the Company in exchange for shares of Lotus. In addition, Lotus agreed to provide convertible debt financing (see Note 5). Lotus subsequently reduced its ownership of Correlant to approximately 62%.
The Company operates in one business segment and sells its high-speed cable modems, cable modem components and CMTS to customers primarily in the United States and Asia.
The Company outsources its manufacturing and is dependent upon one manufacturer, a minority stockholder of Correlant. If, in the future, the manufacturer is unable or unwilling to manufacture the Company’s products in required volumes, the Company will have to identify acceptable alternative manufacturers, which may delay fulfillment of customer orders.
Prior to January 31, 2002, Correlant sold Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) certified cable modems and in certain instances, the Media Access Controller bundled with Correlant’s cable modem software (MAC+software), which are both key components of the competed cable modem. Correlant developed and owns the proprietary software used in the cable modem. Effective February 1, 2002 Correlant changed its business model whereby it only sells the completed cable modem in certain circumstances. Instead of focusing on selling the completed cable modem, Correlant is concentrating efforts toward selling only the MAC+software. The new business model is a result of Correlant’s attempt to increase gross profit percentage, streamline business operations and reduce operating expenses.
6
On October 1, 1998, the Company established a branch in Taipei, Taiwan, in order to support sales efforts in Asia. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its branch. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As part of the aforementioned change in the business model, the Company closed its Taiwan branch effective February 1, 2002.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The functional currency of the Company’s Taiwan branch is the U.S. dollar. Any accounts denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar are remeasured and resultant gains and losses are recorded in the financial statements of the branch. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments, which include debt securities with remaining maturities when acquired of three months or less and are stated at cost, which approximates market. The Company evaluates the financial strength of institutions in which significant investments are made and believes the related credit risk is limited to an acceptable level.
The Company accounts for short-term investments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and classifies investments as available-for-sale in accordance with that standard. Available-for-sale securities are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are reported in stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary, if any, on available-for-sale securities are included in investment income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific-identification method. All short-term investments have original maturities of one year or less.
7
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The estimated fair value amounts of all financial instruments on the Company’s balance sheet have been determined by using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Fair value is described as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between informed willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. However, considerable judgment is necessarily required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The Company does not have any off balance sheet financial instruments.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial statements: Cash and equivalents, trade accounts receivable, notes receivable, trade accounts payable and certain other current liability amounts are reported in the balance sheet at approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
During fiscal 2001, the Company entered into a security agreement with a bank, whereby the Company agreed to pledge approximately $5,500,000 in connection with the collateralization of a line of credit. The cash pledged in connection with the agreement is included in the consolidated balance sheet as restricted cash. The security agreement was cancelled as of June 30, 2002.

A relatively small number of customers account for a significant percentage of the Company’s revenues. The percentage of revenues derived from significant customers is detailed as follows:
| | Years ended June 30, | |
| | 2002 | | 2001 | |
Toshiba (Related party, see Note 4) | | 54 | % | 67 | % |
TurboComm (Related party, see Note 4) | | 37 | | 3 | |
Terayon | | 8 | | 13 | |
Com21 | | — | | 11 | |
Receivables from these customers totaled $7,447,000 and $21,142,000, at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
The Company estimates potential losses on trade receivables on an ongoing basis and provides for anticipated losses in the period in which the receivable is determined to be uncollectible.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, costs being determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventories consist primarily of integrated circuits and other components to be used in the manufacture of cable modems.
Shipping and Handling Charges
The Company includes costs of shipping and handling billed to customers in revenue and the related expense of shipping and handling costs is included in cost of sales.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 18 months to 5 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease period.
9
The Company sells cable modems, CMTS and, in certain instances, the media access controller (MAC), a key component of the cable modem. The Company developed and owns the proprietary technology used in the MAC. However, the manufacturing of both the MAC and the cable modem is outsourced to manufacturers. Cable modem and CMTS revenue is recognized upon shipment of the completed unit to the customer. In addition to supplying the MAC to the cable modem manufacturer for use in Correlant cable modems, the Company also sells the MAC for use by the cable modem manufacturer in non-Correlant products.
Costs incurred in connection with research and development are charged to operations as incurred.
The Company assesses potential impairments to its long-lived assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances have made recovery of the asset’s carrying value unlikely. An impairment loss would be recognized when the sum of the expected future undiscounted net cash flows is less that the carrying amount of the asset. Should an impairment exist, the impairment loss would be measured based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over the asset’s fair value or discounted estimates of future cash flows. The Company has not identified any such impairment losses. As of June 30, 2002 all of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the United States.
Warranty Reserves
The Company does not provide a product warranty. The warranty liability for defective products is the responsibility of the Company’s third-party manufacturer.
10
SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As permitted by SFAS 123, the Company will continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). Compensation cost for stock options, if any, will be measured as the excess of the quoted market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Compensation cost is amortized over the requisite vesting periods. Transactions in equity instruments with non-employees for goods or services are accounted for using the fair value method prescribed by SFAS 123. The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation 28, Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans (FIN 28), in amortizing unearned compensation during the service period.
Current income tax expense or benefit is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable or refundable for the current year. A deferred income tax asset or liability is computed for the expected future impact of differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax credits and loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.
11
The Company will apply the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning July 1, 2002 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operation.
In June 2001, the FASB approved for issuance SFAS 143, Asset Retirement Obligations (SFAS 143). SFAS 143 establishes accounting requirements for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets, including (1) the timing of the liability recognition, (2) initial measurement of the liability, (3) allocation of asset retirement cost to expense, (4) subsequent measurement of the liability and (5) financial statement disclosures. SFAS 143 requires that an asset retirement cost should be capitalized as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset and subsequently allocated to expense using a systematic and rational method. The Company will adopt the statement effective no later than January 1, 2003, as required. The transition adjustment resulting from the adoption of SFAS 143 will be reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. At this time, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the effect of the adoption of this statement on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In August 2001, the FASB approved for issuance SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144), which addressed financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived lived assets and supersedes SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations for a disposal of a segment of business. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, with earlier application encouraged. The Company expects to adopt SFAS 144 as of July 1, 2002 and does not expect that the adoption of the Statement will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations.
In April 2002, the FASB approved for issuance SFAS 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of SFAS 13, and Technical Corrections (SFAS 145). SFAS 145 rescinds previous accounting guidance, which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt be classified as an extraordinary item. Under SFAS 145 classification of debt extinguishment depends on the facts and circumstances of the transaction. SFAS 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002 and adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of its operations.
12
In July 2002, the FASB approved for issuance SFAS 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (SFAS 146). SFAS 146 requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of costs covered by SFAS 146 include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued operation, plant closing, or other exit or disposal activity. SFAS 146 is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 146 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of its operations.
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS 128, Earnings Per Share (SFAS 128). Under the provisions of SFAS 128, basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net (loss) per share (in thousands, except for per share data):

Dilutive securities include options, convertible debt, and preferred stock as if converted and restricted stock subject to vesting. Potential dilutive securities, consisting of 3,360,000 preferred shares and 4,082,651 employee stock options, for the year ended June 30, 2002 were excluded from the diluted earnings per share because of their anti-dilutive effect.

4. Related-Party Transactions
The Company has significant transactions with two related-party stockholders. In 1997, the Company established a relationship with Toshiba Corporation (Toshiba), whereby the Company and Toshiba entered into a cooperative research and development agreement. As part of this arrangement, the Company will pay Toshiba a percentage of the selling price of each developed product sold to customers, other than Toshiba, which utilizes the technology developed under the agreement. Royalties paid to Toshiba were $52,000 and $819,000 for the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. In 1998, Toshiba purchased 250,000 shares of the Company’s Series B preferred stock. Toshiba accounted for 54% and 67% of the Company’s revenues for the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Accounts receivable from Toshiba as of June 30, 2001 was $13,968,000. Effective February 1, 2002 as part of the aforementioned change in business model, Correlant no longer sells completed cable modems directly to Toshiba. As a result, accounts receivable from Toshiba as of June 30, 2002 was zero.
The Company also has an established relationship with TurboComm Technology, Inc. (TurboComm), a company located in Taiwan that performs the manufacturing of the high-speed data over cable technology products. In April 1999, the Company sold 30,000 shares of the Company’s Series C preferred stock to TurboComm. In fiscal 2000, the Company began selling the MAC to TurboComm for use by them in their own products. As of June 30, 2002 and 2001, TurboComm was liable to the Company for $7,071,000 and $854,000 respectively, and the Company was liable to TurboComm for
15
$238,000 and $25,949,000, respectively. For the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, MAC sales to TurboComm accounted for 37% and 3% of total revenues respectively. For the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, purchases of completed cable modems from TurboComm were $20,439,000 and $221,997,000, respectively.
5. Stockholders’ Equity
The Company authorized a total of 40,000,000 shares; 35,000,000 of which are designated as common and 5,000,000 of which are designated as preferred. Of the 5,000,000 designated preferred shares, 2,300,000 are designated Series A, 250,000 are designated Series B, 800,000 are designated Series C, and 20,000 are designated Series D.
Convertible Preferred Stock
At the option of the holders, the Series A, B, C, and D preferred shares are convertible into common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for antidilution, and will automatically convert into common stock concurrent with the closing of an underwritten public offering of common stock under the Securities Act of 1933, in which the Company receives at least $6,000,000 in gross proceeds and the price per share is at least $10.00 (subject to adjustment for antidilution). The Series A, B, C, and D convertible preferred stock has a liquidation preference over the common stockholders of $1.50, $4.00, $5.00, and $1,000.00 per share respectively. In the event the proceeds available for distribution are insufficient to pay the holders of Series, A, B, C, and D the full amount of the liquidation preference, the available proceeds shall be distributed ratably among the A, B, C, and D stockholders.
The preferred stockholders have voting rights equal to the number of common shares they would own upon conversion. In addition, for so long as at least 1,000,000 shares of outstanding Series, A, B, C, and D preferred have not been converted to common stock, the Series, A, B, C, and D stockholders, voting as a class, shall be entitled to elect three directors and the holders of common stock, voting as a class, shall be entitled to elect two directors.
The Company has reserved 3,360,000 shares of common stock for issuance upon conversion of the convertible preferred stock.

Convertible Debt
In December 1999, as part of the acquisition agreement with Lotus, the Company obtained $10,000,000 of noninterest-bearing convertible debt financing from Lotus. All such debt was converted into 10,000 shares of Series D preferred stock on September 30, 2000.
Stock Option Plan
In March 1998, the Board of Directors approved the 1998 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the Plan) under which 8,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are authorized for issuance, and reserved for purchase upon exercise of options granted. The Plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-statutory options and issuance of common stock under the stock issuance program (as defined) to employees, directors, and consultants.
The exercise price of incentive stock options must equal at least the fair value on the date of grant and the exercise price of non-statutory stock options and the issuance price of common stock under the stock issuance program may be no less than 85% of the fair value on the date of grant or issuance. The options are exercisable for a period of up to ten years after the date of grant. Options granted prior to August 2001 vest over four years at the rate of 25% on each anniversary of the vesting start date. Options granted subsequent to August 2001 vest over three years at the rate of 33% after the first and second anniversaries, and the remainder after the third anniversary.
The Company reviewed its exercise prices and arrived at the fair value for accounting purposes for each option grant since July 1, 1999. With respect to the 597,000 options granted between July 1, 1999 and June 30, 2000, the Company recorded deferred stock compensation of $5,144,000 for the difference between the exercise price per share determined by the Board of Directors and the fair value per share for accounting purposes at the grant date. The approximate weighted average fair value per share for accounting purposes was $14.23. Deferred stock compensation is recognized and amortized on an accelerated basis in accordance with FIN 28 over the vesting period of the related options, generally four years.

In connection with the acquisition by Lotus in March 1999, Lotus obtained the right to acquire up to 2,613,000 additional shares of Correlant upon acquisition of such shares by the option holder. All options granted by the Company through December 21, 1999 are subject to an exchange agreement, whereby Lotus will acquire approximately 81% of the shares exercised in exchange for 0.5364 shares of Lotus stock for each Correlant share exchanged. The Lotus shares into which the acquired shares are exchangeable are restricted from sale until Correlant meets certain financial milestones and the options are, therefore, considered to be contingent. Effective August 31, 2000, the restrictions were removed and, accordingly, the company recorded deferred stock compensation for the 2,613,000 previously contingent options. The deferred stock compensation recorded related to these shares is being amortized over the vesting periods of the related options on an accelerated basis in accordance with FIN 28. The total deferred compensation relating to the previously contingent options is $9,034,000 based on the value of the options on the date the contingency was removed.

Pro forma information regarding net income (loss) is required by SFAS 123 and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options and stock purchase plan under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 2002 and 2001: expected volatility of 78%; risk-free interest rate of 5.5%; dividend yield of 0%; and a weighted-average expected life of the options of five years. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value is amortized on an accelerated basis in accordance with FIN 28 over the vesting period.
The Company’s pro forma information is as follows (in thousands, except for per share data):
| | Years ended June 30, | |
| | 2002 | | 2001 | |
Pro forma net income (loss) | | $ | (6,339 | ) | $ | 3,228 | |
Pro forma net income (loss) per share – basic | | $ | (0.33 | ) | $ | 0.17 | |
Pro forma net income (loss) per share – diluted | | $ | (0.33 | ) | $ | 0.13 | |
The weighted-average fair value of options granted during the year ended June 30, 2002 was $1.14. There were no options granted during the year ended June 30, 2001.
The pro forma effect for the years presented is not likely to be representative of the pro forma effect on reported net income or loss in future years because these amounts reflect less than four years of vesting.
