On October 31, 2006, we acquired Jetrion LLC (Jetrion), which specializes in digital printing and provides a complete spectrum of industrial inkjet systems, custom high-performance integration solutions and specialty inks to the converting, packaging and direct mail industries. To further expand our industrial inkjet leadership, we have recently announced plans for a full color UV inkjet label press.
We also manufacture the inks used in our inkjet printers. Each of our inks is customized for each of our printers to provide optimum performance on that printer. In addition, we manufacture and sell private label inks to third-party inkjet printer manufacturers.
Advanced Professional Print Software
To provide our customers with print solutions, we have developed technology that enhances printing workflow and makes printing operations more powerful, productive and easier to manage from one centralized user interface. Most of the our software solutions have been developed with the express goal of automating print processes and streamlining workflow via open, integrated and interoperable EFI products, services and solutions.
Our enterprise resource planning (ERP) and collaborative supply chain software print management solutions are designed to enable printers and print buyers to improve productivity and customer service while reducing costs. Procurement applications for print buyers and print producers facilitate web-based collaboration across the print supply chain. Customers recognize that print management information systems, or PMIS, are essential to improving their business practices and profitability and we are continuing to focus on making our PMIS solutions the global industry standard.

Growth and Expansion Strategies
Our overall objective is to continue to introduce new generations of digital print controllers as well as expand our offerings in inkjet, professional printing software applications, and in other new product lines related to digital printing, workflow and print management. With respect to our current products, our primary goal is to offer best of breed solutions that are interoperable and conform to open standards, which will allow customers to configure the most efficient solution for their business. Our strategy to accomplish these goals consists of four key elements: proliferate and expand product lines; develop and expand relationships with key industry participants; establish enterprise coherence and leverage industry standardization; and leverage technology and industry expertise to expand the scope of products, channels and markets. Each of these items is discussed below.
Proliferate and Expand Product Lines
We intend to continue to develop new digital print controllers that are “scalable”, meaning products that continue to meet the changing needs of the user as their business grows. Our products offer a broad range of features and functionality when connected to, or integrated with, digital color and black-and-white copiers, as well as desktop color laser printers.
We intend to continue our development of platform enhancements that advance the performance and usability of our software applications in order to provide cohesive, integrated solutions for our customers.
In 2006, we introduced a new generation of our Fiery product line, Fiery System 8, which provides enhanced workflow and production management tools and new variable data printing capabilities to provide customers with more efficient workflow, more accurate color and greater control over and visibility into their business. We also launched the new Color Profiler Suite profiling solution designed to ensure total color quality control in the color printing workflow for graphic arts professionals.
Our expansion of product lines includes our acquisition of Jetrion, a leading innovator of inkjet printers, inks and custom printing systems for the label and packaging industries. This acquisition expanded our presence in the industrial inkjet market.
In 2006, we introduced two new VUTEk super-wide UV printing platforms that provide the speed, quality and configurability necessary to better enable our customers to meet the growing needs of their customers. The new 2.0 meter QS2000 and 3.2 meter QS3200 UV inkjet printers provide both high speed and high resolution quality for rigid or flexible substrates. The new enhanced VUTEk 3360 solvent printer platform provides customers with an entry-level configuration that makes it easier for customers to acquire VUTEk quality and add functionality as needed to meet the needs of their customers.

In 2006, we introduced our BioVu ink, the first ink for super-wide format printers made from a renewable resource, corn. As a result of its environmental signature, BioVu will help improve working conditions within our customers’ production facilities as well as helping our customers meet their customers’ growing need for environmental sustainability in the printed products they purchase.
We also continue to explore acquisition possibilities as a way to expand our product lineup and customer base. Although there can be no assurance that acquisitions will be successful, acquisitions have allowed us to broaden our product lines.
Develop and Expand Relationships with Key Industry Participants
Our customer relationships are one of our most important assets. We have established relationships with leading printer and copier industry companies, including Canon, Fuji Xerox, Konica Minolta, Oki, Océ, Ricoh, Sharp, Toshiba and Xerox, which we collectively refer to as our OEM customers.
Our relationships with our OEM customers are based upon business relationships we have established over time. However, our agreements with such OEM customers generally do not require them to make any future purchases from us, and our OEM customers are generally free to purchase products from our competitors or build their own and cease purchasing our products at any time, for any reason or no reason.
Additionally, we have established relationships with many leading distribution companies in the office, graphic arts and commercial print industries such as IKON, Presstek, Fujifilm Graphic Systems, Pitman, Nazdar and 3M. We seek to establish new relationships in pursuit of the goal of offering our controller line of products as well as our software technology for optimizing the management and creation of documents in a variety of print environments.
We also have established relationships with many of the leading print providers globally, such as R.R. Donnelley, Consolidated Graphics and Cenveo Anderson Lithograph. These direct sales relationships, along with dealer arrangements, are vital for our understanding of the end markets for our products and serve as a source of future product development ideas. In many cases our products are customized for the needs of large customers yet maintain the common intuitive interfaces that EFI is known for around the world.
Our Advanced Professional Print Software and Inkjet products are sold both direct and via distribution arrangements to all sizes of print providers.
Establish Enterprise Coherence and Leverage Industry Standardization
In our development of new products and platforms, we seek to establish coherence across our entire product line by designing products that provide a consistent “look and feel” to the end-user. We believe cross-product coherence can create higher productivity levels as a result of shortened learning curves. Additionally, we believe the integrated coherence that end-users can achieve using EFI products for all of their digital printing and imaging needs leads to a lower total cost of ownership. We also advocate open architecture utilizing industry-established standards to provide inter-operability across a range of digital printing devices and software applications, ultimately providing end-users more choice and flexibility in their selection of products. For example in 2006, we introduced enhanced integration between our web-based Digital StoreFront application, our Fiery, our Logic SQL print MIS application and Canon’s new production print engine, the Canon imagePress 7000VP, leveraging the industry standard Job Definition Format (JDF).
Leverage Technology and Industry Expertise to Expand the Scope of Products, Channels and Markets
We have assembled, organically and through acquisitions, an experienced team of technical and sales and marketing personnel with backgrounds in color reproduction, digital pre-press, image processing, management

Table of Contents
information systems, networking and software and hardware engineering as well as market knowledge of enterprise printing, graphic arts and commercial printing. By applying our expertise in these areas, we expect to continue to expand the scope and sophistication of our products and gain access to new markets and channels of distribution.
Significant Relationships
We have established and continue to build and expand relationships with our OEMs and distributors of digital printing technology in order to benefit from their products, distribution channels and marketing resources. Our customers include domestic and international manufacturers, distributors and sellers of color and black-and-white digital copiers, wide-format printers and desktop color printers. We work closely with our OEM customers with the aim of developing solutions that incorporate leading technology, and that work optimally in conjunction with such companies’ products. The top 7 revenue-generating OEMs or distributors, in alphabetical order, that we sold products to in 2006 were Canon, Fuji Xerox, IKON Office Solutions, Konica Minolta, Océ, Ricoh and Xerox. Together, sales to Canon and Xerox accounted for approximately 34% of our 2006 revenue, with sales to each of these two customers accounting for more than 10% of our revenue. Because sales of our printer and copier-related products constitute a significant portion of our controller revenues and there are a limited number of OEMs producing copiers and printers in sufficient volume to be attractive customers for us, we expect that we will continue to depend on a relatively small number of OEM customers for a significant portion of our revenues in future periods. Accordingly, if we lose or experience reduced sales to an important OEM, we will have difficulty replacing the revenue traditionally generated from such OEM with sales to new or existing OEMs and our revenues may decline.
We customarily enter into development and distribution agreements with our OEM customers. These agreements can be terminated under a range of circumstances and often upon relatively short notice. The circumstances under which an agreement can be terminated vary from agreement to agreement and there can be no assurance that our OEM customers will continue to purchase products from us in the future, despite such agreements. Furthermore, our agreements with our OEM customers generally do not commit such customers to make future purchases from us and they could decline to purchase products from us in the future and could purchase products from our competitors, or build the products themselves. We recognize the importance of, and work hard to maintain, our relationships with our customers. However, our relationships with our customers are affected by a number of factors including, among others: competition from other suppliers, competition from internal development efforts by the customers themselves and changes in general economic, competitive or market conditions such as changes in demand for our or the OEM’s products, or fluctuations in currency exchange rates. There can be no assurance that we will continue to maintain or build the relationships we have developed to date. See Item 1A—We face competition from other suppliers as well as our own OEM customers and if we are not able to compete successfully our business may be harmed.
We have a continuing relationship pursuant to a license agreement with Adobe and license PostScript® software from Adobe for use in many of our controller solutions. This relationship is important because each of our controller solutions requires page description language software such as that provided by Adobe in order to operate. Adobe’s PostScript® software is widely used to manage the geometry, shape and typography of hard copy documents and Adobe is a leader in providing page description software. Although to date we have successfully obtained licenses to use Adobe’s PostScript® software when required, Adobe is not required to and we cannot be certain that Adobe will, grant future licenses to Adobe PostScript® software on reasonable terms, in a timely manner, or at all. In addition, in order to obtain licenses from Adobe, Adobe requires that we obtain from them quality assurance approvals for our products that use Adobe software. If Adobe does not grant us such licenses or approvals, if the Adobe licenses are terminated, or if our relationship with Adobe is otherwise materially impaired, we would likely be unable to sell products that incorporate Adobe PostScript® software. If that occurred, we would have to license, acquire, develop or reestablish our own competing software as a viable alternative for Adobe Postscript and our financial condition and results of operations could be significantly harmed for a period of time.

Our inkjet printers are constructed with inkjet print heads which are manufactured by a limited number of suppliers. If we were to experience difficulty obtaining print heads, our production of inkjet printers would be limited and our revenues would be harmed. We manufacture inks for use in our printers and rely upon a limited number of suppliers for certain pigments used in our inks. Our ink sales would decline significantly if we were unable to obtain the pigments as needed. In addition, since the warranties on the ink delivery systems of our inkjet printers are voided if our inks are not used, our printer sales and customer relationships could be harmed.
Distribution and Marketing
Our primary distribution method for our controller line of products is to sell them to our OEMs. Our OEMs in turn sell these products to OEM-affiliated and independent distributors/dealers/resellers and end-users for use with the OEM’s copiers or printers as part of an integrated printing system. See Item 1A—We rely on sales to a relatively small number of OEM customers and the loss of any of these OEM customers could substantially decrease our revenues.
Our primary distribution method for our MicroPress controllers, our EFI Proofing Solutions and our EFI Workflow software products is to sell directly to our authorized distributors, dealers, and resellers who in turn sell the solutions to end users either in a stand alone form or bundled with other solutions they offer. Primary customers with whom we have established distribution agreements include Enovation, Fujifilm Graphic Systems, Pitman and other sales companies. There can be no assurance that we will continue to successfully distribute our products through these channels.
Our Print Management Information Solutions are primarily sold directly to the end user by EFI’s own sales force. To distribute our VUTEk printers and ink, we utilize a direct sales force in North America and Europe and principally distributors for the rest of our global distribution. Any interruption of the distribution methods could negatively impact us in the future.
We promote all of our products through public relations, direct mail, advertising, promotional material, trade shows and ongoing customer communication programs. The majority of the sales leads for inkjet printer sales are generated from tradeshows and any interruption in our tradeshow participation could materially impact our revenue and profitability.
Research and Development
Research and development costs for 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $127.9 million, $110.1 million and $112.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, 885 of our 1,889 full-time employees were involved in research and development. We believe that development of new products and enhancement of existing products are essential to our continued success, and management intends to continue to devote substantial resources to research and new product development. We expect to make significant expenditures to support our research and development programs for the foreseeable future.
We are developing products to support additional color and black-and-white printing devices including desktop printers, high-end color copiers, digital black-and-white copiers and multifunctional devices. We are also developing new software applications designed to maximize workflow efficiencies and to meet the needs of the graphic arts and commercial print professional, including proofing solutions and print management information systems solutions. We also expect to continue to develop new platforms of inkjet print technologies in order to meet the needs of existing and future markets. We have research and development sites in nine U.S. locations, as well as in Israel, India, Japan and Europe. See “Growth and Expansion Strategies—Proliferate and Expand Product Lines” above. Substantial additional work and expense will be required to complete and bring to market each of the products currently being developed by us.

Manufacturing
We utilize sub-contractors to manufacture our controller line of products. These sub-contractors work closely with us to promote low costs and high quality in the manufacture of our products. Sub-contractors purchase components needed for our products from third parties. We are completely dependent on the ability of our sub-contractors to produce products sold by us and although we supervise our sub-contractors, there can be no assurance that such sub-contractors will perform efficiently or effectively. A significant amount of our controller line of products are manufactured at a single sub-contractor, Celestica Inc., located in Toronto, Canada. Should Celestica experience any inability or unwillingness to manufacture or deliver product from this location, our business, financial condition and operations could be harmed. Since we do not maintain long-term agreements with our sub-contractors, any of our sub-contractors could enter into agreements with our competitors that might restrict or prohibit such sub-contractors from manufacturing our products or could otherwise lead to an inability of such sub-contractor from filling our orders in a timely manner. See Item 1A—We are dependent on a limited number of subcontractors, with whom we do not have long-term contracts, to manufacture and deliver products to our customers and the loss of any of these subcontractors could adversely affect our business.
Our VUTEk printers and ink are manufactured at our Meredith, New Hampshire facility. Meredith is not located in a major metropolitan area, and we have encountered difficulties in hiring and retaining adequate skilled labor and management. We also face the risk of our New Hampshire labor force unionizing. Most of the components used in the manufacturing of the printers and the inks are available from multiple suppliers, except for the inkjet print heads and the pigments for our inks. Although typically in low volumes, many key components are sourced from single vendors. If we were unable to obtain the print heads currently used, we would be required to redesign our printers to use different print heads. If we were to change pigments, we would be required to reformulate and test the inks. In two of our locations we use hazardous materials to formulate solvent-based inks. The storage, use and disposal of those materials must meet various environmental regulations.
A significant number of the components necessary for the manufacture of our controller line of products are obtained from a sole supplier or a limited group of suppliers. These include processors from Intel and other related semiconductor components. We depend largely on the following sole and limited source suppliers for our components and manufacturing services:
Supplier | Components | |
Intel | Central processing units, or CPUs; chip sets | |
Toshiba | ASICs | |
LSI Logic | ASICs | |
Texas Instruments | Digital signal processors, or DSPs | |
Celestica Inc. | Contract manufacturing |
We do not maintain long-term agreements with any of our suppliers of components and primarily conduct our business with such suppliers solely on a purchase order basis. If any of our sole or limited source suppliers were unwilling or unable to supply us with the components for which we rely on them, we may be unable to continue manufacturing our products utilizing such components.
The absence of agreements with most of our suppliers also subjects us to fluctuations in pricing, a factor we believe is partially offset by the fact that our suppliers benefit from selling as many components to us as possible. Many of our components are similar to those used in personal computers, and the demand and price fluctuations of personal computer components could affect our component costs. Because the purchase of key components involves long lead times, in the event of unanticipated volatility in demand for our products, we may be unable to manufacture certain products in a quantity sufficient to meet end user demand, or we may hold excess quantities of inventory. We maintain an inventory of components for which we are dependent upon sole or limited source suppliers and of components with prices that fluctuate significantly. We cannot ensure that at any given time we will have sufficient inventory to enable us to meet demand for our products, which would harm our financial results. As a result of our acquisition of VUTEk in 2005, our inventory has increased; however, it still represents

Table of Contents
less than 4% of our total assets as of December 31, 2006. See Item 1A—We depend upon a limited group of suppliers for key components in our products and the loss of any of these suppliers could adversely affect our business.
Human Resources
As of December 31, 2006, we employed 1,889 full time employees. Approximately 441 were in sales and marketing, 229 were in general and administrative, 334 were in manufacturing and 885 were in research and development. Of the total number of employees, we had approximately 1,413 employees located in U.S. and Canadian offices and 476 employees located in offices outside of North America. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining organization and we have never experienced a work stoppage. However, there can be no assurance that collective bargaining, work stoppage or other employment related issues will not arise, particularly at our New Hampshire manufacturing facilities.
Competition
Competition in our markets is intense and involves rapidly changing technologies and frequent new product introductions. To maintain and improve our competitive position, we must continue to develop and introduce on a timely and cost-effective basis new products and features that keep pace with the evolving needs of our customers. The principal competitive factors affecting the markets for our controller solutions include, among others, customer service and support, product reputation, quality, performance, price and product features such as functionality, scalability, ability to interface with OEM products and ease of use. We believe we have generally been able to compete effectively in the past against product offerings of our competitors on the basis of such factors. However, there can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to compete effectively in the future based on these or any other competitive factors.
Our primary competitor for third-party stand-alone color controllers is Kodak. However, Kodak currently sells to a limited number of OEMs. Our OEM customers themselves are the principal competitors for the embedded and design-licensed color solutions. Our digital black-and-white solutions face competition from our OEM customers. Our market position vis-à-vis internally-developed controllers is small, however, as we are the largest third party controller vendor. We believe that our advantages include our continuously advancing technology, time-to-market, brand recognition, end-user loyalty, sizable installed base, number of products supported, price driven by lower developmental costs and market knowledge. A significant disadvantage is our lack of control of the distribution channels and direct connections with our end-users. We do, however, provide a variety of features as well as a unique “look and feel” to our OEMs’ products to differentiate our customers’ products from those of their competitors.
The VUTEk line of super-wide inkjet printers competes with printers produced by Durst, Gandi, Hewlett-Packard, Inca, NUR and Scitex Vision, throughout most of the world. There are Chinese and Korean printer manufacturers in the marketplace, but their products are typically sold in their domestic markets and are not perceived as alternatives in most other markets. Although we recommend that our inks be used in the VUTEk printers, users can purchase solvent-based inks from other ink manufacturers. The third-party inks are typically priced at a lower price than our proprietary inks. However, these third-party inks may not provide the same quality. In addition, the use of third-party inks with our printer products may void the ink delivery system warranty on the printer. We believe that our broad product line and leading technology provide a competitive advantage.
Our Advanced Professional Print Software category, which includes our Workflow, Proofing, Print Management Information Software and Web Submission Tools, faces competition from software application vendors that specifically target the printing industry. These vendors are typically small, privately-owned companies. We also face competition from larger vendors that currently offer or are seeking to develop printer-focused enterprise resource planning products. We believe the principal competitive factor affecting our markets is the market rates for new printing technology.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to advance our technology and products or to compete effectively against other companies’ product offerings and any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect upon our business, operating results and financial condition.
Intellectual Property Rights
We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, non-disclosure agreements and other contractual provisions to establish, maintain and protect our intellectual property rights, all of which afford only limited protection. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had 172 issued U.S. patents, up from 165 at December 31, 2005, 87 pending U.S. patent applications and various foreign counterpart patents and applications. There can be no assurance that patents will be issued from these pending applications or from any future applications or that, if issued, any claims allowed will be sufficiently broad enough to protect our technology. In 2006, 5 new patent applications were filed, up from 2 in 2005. In addition, 1 patent expired with the remaining issued U.S. patents expiring between January 13, 2009 and August 20, 2024. Our failure to obtain or maintain patent protection may make it easier for our competitors to offer equivalent or superior technology. In addition, third parties may independently develop similar technology without misappropriation of our trade secrets or breach of other proprietary rights. Any failure by us to take all necessary steps to protect our trade secrets or other intellectual property rights and failure to enforce these rights may have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete in our markets. See Item 1A—We may be unable to adequately protect our proprietary information and may incur expenses to defend our proprietary information.
Certain trademarks are registered in the United States and/or in foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, applications for registration of certain additional trademarks are also pending, in the United States and/or in foreign jurisdictions. We will continue to evaluate the registration of additional trademarks as appropriate. Any failure by us to properly register or maintain our trademarks or to otherwise take all necessary steps to protect our trademarks may diminish the value associated with our trademarks. Our products include software sold pursuant to “shrink wrap” licenses that are not signed by the end user and, therefore, may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries, including several in which we operate or sell our products, do not protect intellectual property and proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States.
From time to time, litigation may be necessary to defend and enforce our proprietary rights. Such litigation, whether or not concluded successfully for us, could involve significant expense and the diversion of management’s attention and other resources. See Item 1A—We may be unable to adequately protect our proprietary information and may incur expenses to defend our proprietary information.
Financial Information about Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales
See Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. See also Item 1A—We face risks from our international operationsand We face risks from currency fluctuations.
The matters relating to the Special Committee’s review of our historical stock option investigation practices and the restatement of our consolidated financial statements have required us to incur substantial expenses for accounting, legal and other professional services, have diverted our management’s attention from our business and have had and may continue to have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.
On October 24, 2006, we announced that a Special Committee of our Board of Directors had commenced an independent investigation of our historical stock option grants. On May 7, 2007, we announced that, based on information obtained by the Special Committee relating to a portion of the historical option grants under review, we believed that the actual measurement dates for certain stock option grants made during the period under
10
Table of Contents
review differed from the recorded grant dates used for financial accounting and reporting purposes for such options. Based on information obtained by the Special Committee, we concluded that the Company’s financial statements, earnings releases and similar communications relating to the period 1992 through June 30, 2006 should no longer be relied upon. On June 29, 2007, we announced the completion of the independent investigation by the Special Committee, and the remedial actions being taken in response to the findings and recommendations of the Special Committee. The Special Committee investigation and findings relating to stock option practices, the restatement and remedial measures adopted by our Board of Directors as a result of the investigation are described in further detail in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements,” Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures.”
The independent investigation of our historical stock option practices and resulting restatement activities have required us to expend significant management time and incur significant accounting, legal and other expenses totaling $4.0 million in 2006, and we expect to incur additional costs in the future periods.
As a result of the events described above, we have become subject to a number of significant risks, each of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, described below. See Item 1A—We face risks related to possible SEC and regulatory actions regarding our historical stock option grant practices, which could require significant management time and attention, and could require us to pay fines or other penalties; We face litigation risks relating to our stock option grant practices that could have a material adverse effect on the Company; Because of the delayed filing of our periodic reports, we face delisting from The Nasdaq Global Select Market. Delisting would adversely affect the trading price of our common stock; Because of the delayed filing of our periodic reports, we are ineligible to register our securities on Form S-3, which may increase our transaction costs and delay our ability to quickly access the capital markets; Alleged defaults of our convertible senior debentures, if not cured, may result in an acceleration of the debentures.
We face risks related to possible SEC and regulatory actions regarding our historical stock option grant practices, which could require significant management time and attention, and could require us to pay fines or other penalties.
In connection with the Special Committee investigation of our historical stock option grant practices and related informal inquiry by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we have voluntarily continued to keep the SEC advised of the issues identified during the investigation, its progress and our conclusions. Although no formal inquiry has been made by any regulatory agency with respect to the investigation and the related restatement, we are unable to predict whether any such formal inquiry will be initiated or what consequences, if any, that any such further inquiry may have on us. Any regulatory inquiry could result in substantial legal expenses, divert management’s attention from other business concerns and harm our business. If a regulatory agency were to commence legal action, it is possible that we could be required to pay significant penalties and/or fines and could become subject to administrative orders. Any regulatory action could result in the filing of additional restatements of our prior financial statements or require that we take other actions.
While we believe that we have made appropriate judgments in determining the revised measurement dates for option grants, the SEC may disagree with the manner in which we have accounted for and reported, or not reported, the financial impact of past option grant measurement date adjustments, and there is a risk that any SEC inquiry could lead to circumstances in which we may have to further restate our prior financial statements, amend prior filings with the SEC or otherwise take other actions not currently contemplated. In addition, the SEC may issue additional guidance on disclosure requirements related to the financial impact of past option grant measurement date adjustments that may require us to amend this filing or prior filings with the SEC to provide additional disclosures pursuant to this guidance. Any such circumstance could also lead to future delays in filing our subsequent SEC reports and delisting of our common stock from The Nasdaq Global Select Market. See Item 1A—Because of the delayed filing of our periodic reports, we face delisting from The Nasdaq Global Select Market. Delisting would adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. Furthermore, if we are subject to
11
Table of Contents
adverse findings in any of these matters, we could be required to pay damages or penalties or have other remedies imposed upon us which could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. See Note 2, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
We face litigation risks relating to our stock option grant practices that could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
A number of purported shareholder derivative complaints have been filed against us in connection with our historical stock option grant practices. The complaints allege, among other things, that certain of our current and past officers and directors breached their fiduciary duty to the Company by improperly backdating certain grants of stock options to officers and directors of the Company and violating the terms of our stock option plans, violating generally accepted accounting practices and producing and disseminating statements that improperly accounted for the options and concealed the alleged backdating. See Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings,” for a further description of these proceedings.
The defense of these lawsuits has resulted, and will likely result in the future, in significant expense and the continued diversion of management’s time and attention from the operation of our business, which could impede our ability to achieve our business objectives. An unfavorable outcome in any of these lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Additionally, any amount that we may be required to pay to satisfy a judgment or settlement of these lawsuits may not be covered by insurance. Under the bylaws, charter and indemnification agreements that we have entered into with our officers and directors, we are required, subject to certain limited qualifications, to indemnify, and advance expenses to, our current and former executive officers and directors in connection with their participation in proceedings arising out of their service to us. There can be no assurance that such payments in connection with the derivative actions will not be material. Additionally, in the future, we may be the subject of additional private or government actions related to our option grant practices. Litigation is time-consuming, expensive and disruptive to normal business operations, and the outcome of litigation, as well as its costs, are difficult to predict and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Because of the delayed filing of our periodic reports, we face delisting from The Nasdaq Global Select Market. Delisting would adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
As a result of the delayed filing of our periodic reports with the SEC, on November 15, 2006, we received a Nasdaq staff determination notice stating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) due to our failure to timely file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006, and that our common stock is, therefore, subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Global Select Market. We received additional Nasdaq staff determination notices with respect to our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007.
We requested and subsequently attended a hearing before the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the staff determination and presented a plan to cure the filing deficiencies and regain compliance. The Panel granted our request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market, subject to certain conditions which we were unable to meet because of the then-ongoing independent investigation of our historical stock option grants. As a result, the Panel notified us that it had determined to delist our securities, which ordinarily would have resulted in the suspension of our securities effective on May 17, 2007. However, the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Listing Council”), pursuant to its discretionary authority under Marketplace Rule 4807(b), called for review the decision of the Panel regarding our case and stayed any action by the Panel to suspend our securities from trading on The Nasdaq Global Select Market pending further action by the Listing Council.
12
Table of Contents
On July 2, 2007, we provided the Listing Council with an additional submission for its consideration, and requested that the Listing Council exercise its discretionary authority, pursuant to Marketplace Rule 4802(b), in favor of granting us an additional extension to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s filing requirement, as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14).
On August 23, 2007, the Listing Council notified us that it had determined to exercise its discretionary authority, under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4802(b), to grant us an exception to demonstrate compliance with all of The Nasdaq Global Select Market continued listing requirements through October 22, 2007. If we do not become current in our public filings with the SEC by October 22, 2007, our securities will be suspended from trading on The Nasdaq Global Select Market at the opening of business on October 24, 2007.
If the Panel determines that we have not demonstrated compliance with all of the Nasdaq listing requirements, our common stock will be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Select Market. If we are delisted, our common stock would subsequently be transferred to the National Quotation Service Bureau, or “Pink Sheets.” The trading of our common stock on the Pink Sheets may reduce the price of our common stock and the levels of liquidity available to our stockholders. In addition, the trading of our common stock on the Pink Sheets will materially adversely affect our access to the capital markets and our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Securities that trade on the Pink Sheets are no longer eligible for margin loans, and a company trading on the Pink Sheets cannot avail itself of federal preemption of state securities or “blue sky” laws, which adds substantial compliance costs to securities issuances, including pursuant to employee option plans, stock purchase plans and private or public offerings of securities. If we are delisted in the future from The Nasdaq Global Select Market and transferred to the Pink Sheets, there may also be other negative implications, including the potential loss of confidence by suppliers, customers and employees and the loss of institutional investor interest in our company.
Alternatively, we may apply for listing on another exchange. However, there is no assurance that we will meet the requirements for initial listing or maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements of such an exchange.
Because of the delayed filing of our periodic reports, we are ineligible to register our securities on Form S-3, which may increase transaction costs and delay our ability to quickly access the capital markets.
As a result of the delayed filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2006, Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007, we will be ineligible to register our securities on Form S-3 for sale by us or resale by others until we have timely filed all periodic reports under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 for a period of twelve months and any portion of a month from the due date of the last untimely report. We may use Form S-1 to raise capital or complete acquisitions, but doing so could increase transaction costs and adversely impact our ability to raise capital or complete certain acquisitions of other companies in a timely manner.
Alleged defaults of our convertible senior debentures, if not cured, may result in an acceleration of the debentures.
In June 2003, we issued $240 million in 1.50% convertible senior debentures due in 2023. We have received notices from the trustee under the indenture governing the debentures regarding certain requirements to file with the trustee copies of annual and quarterly reports that we are required to file with the SEC. Most recently, we received a notice from the trustee asserting that, because we did not file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2006 within 60 days of receiving a previous notice from the trustee, an “Event of Default” has occurred and is continuing under the indenture. This notice further asserted that, if the deficiency related to the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007 is not
13
Table of Contents
cured within 60 days, additional “Events of Default” will occur under the indenture. Under the terms of the indenture, we have 60 days to cure a default. If we do not cure a default within that period, either the trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding debentures may accelerate the maturity of the debentures, causing the outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest to be immediately due and payable; to date, none has done so. The trustee has not accelerated the maturity of the debentures, but reserved the right to seek the remedies allowed in the indenture.
As of June 30, 2007, we had approximately $517.4 million of cash and investments. Accordingly, we believe that, if the debentures were accelerated, we will have adequate financial resources to pay any unpaid principal and interest due on the debentures. We believe that as a result of the filing of our periodic reports on October 22, 2007, any purported default under the Debentures has been fully cured and is no longer continuing, and neither the trustee nor any holders of the Debentures will have any ability to accelerate the maturity of the Debentures from and after October 22, 2007.
We rely on sales to a relatively small number of OEM customers and the loss of any of these OEM customers could substantially decrease our revenues.
A significant portion of our revenues are and have been generated by sales of our printer and copier related products to a relatively small number of OEMs. For example, Canon and Xerox each contributed over 10% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006 and together accounted for approximately 34% of those revenues during the same period. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, Canon, Xerox, and Konica Minolta each contributed over 10% of our revenues and together accounted for approximately 48% of our revenues for the year. Because sales of our printer and copier-related products constitute a significant portion of our revenues and there is a limited number of OEMs producing copiers and printers in sufficient volume to be attractive customers for us, we expect that we will continue to depend on a relatively small number of OEM customers for a significant portion of our controller revenues in future periods. In addition, our OEM customers have developed, and may continue to develop, their own controller products, which may compete directly with our product, which may adversely affect our revenues. Accordingly, if we lose or experience reduced sales to an important OEM customer, we will have difficulty replacing the revenue previously generated from such customers with sales to new or existing OEM customers and our controller revenue will likely decline significantly.
The market for our super-wide-format printers is very competitive.
The printing equipment industry is extremely competitive. Our VUTEk products compete against several companies that market digital printing systems based on electrostatic, drop-on-demand and continuous drop-on-demand inkjet, airbrush and other technologies and printers utilizing solvent and UV curable ink. Two of our largest competitors, Scitex Vision and Inca, were recently acquired by Hewlett Packard (“HP”) and Dai Nippon Screen (“Screen”), respectively. Both HP and Screen have greater resources to develop new products and technologies and market those products, as well as acquire or develop critical components at lower costs, which would provide a competitive advantage. They could also exert downward pressure on product pricing to gain market share.
We have also witnessed the recent growth of local Chinese and Korean markets where local competitors are developing, manufacturing and selling inexpensive printers, mainly to the local Chinese and Korean markets. These Chinese and Korean manufacturers have also begun penetrating the international market and have partnered with other super-wide format printer manufacturers. Our ability to compete depends on factors both within and outside of our control, including the price, performance and acceptance of our current printers and any products we develop in the future. We also face competition from existing conventional wide format and super-wide format printing methods, including screen printing and offset printing. Our competitors could develop new products, with existing or new technology, that could be more competitive in our market than our printers. We cannot assure you that we can compete effectively with any such products.
14
Table of Contents
We face strong competition in the market for printing supplies such as ink.
We compete with independent manufacturers in the ink market. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to remain the exclusive or even principal ink supplier for our printers. The loss of ink sales to our installed base of printers could adversely impact our revenues and gross margins. We could also experience an overall reduction in price within the ink markets, which would also adversely affect our gross margins. While solvent inks are relatively easy to replicate and additional manufacturers could increase pricing competition or divert customers away from us, we believe our UV curable ink is more difficult to replicate and also represents a superior long term growth opportunity.
We do not typically have long term purchase contracts with our OEM customers and our OEM customers have in the past and could at any time in the future, reduce or cease purchasing products from us, harming our operating results and business.
With the exception of certain minimum purchase obligations, we typically do not have long-term volume purchase contracts with our OEM customers, including Canon, Xerox and Konica Minolta and they are not obligated to purchase products from us. Accordingly, our customers could at any time reduce their purchases from us or cease purchasing our products altogether. In the past, some of our OEM customers have elected to develop products on their own, rather than purchase our products and we expect that customers will continue to make such elections in the future. In addition, because our OEM customers incorporate our products into products they manufacture and sell, any decline in demand for copiers or laser printers and any other negative developments affecting our major customers or the computer industry in general, including reduced demand for the products sold by our OEM customers, would likely harm our results of operations. For example, several of our customers have in the past experienced serious financial difficulties which led to a decline in sales of our products to these customers. If any significant customers should face such difficulties in the future, our operating results could be harmed through, among other things, decreased sales volumes and write-offs of accounts receivables and inventory related to products we have manufactured for these customers’ products.
In addition, a significant portion of our operating expenses are fixed in advance based on projected sales levels and margins, sales forecasts from our OEM customers and product development programs. A substantial portion of our backlog is scheduled for delivery within 90 days or less and our customers may cancel orders and change volume levels or delivery times for product they have ordered from us without penalty. Accordingly, if sales to our OEM customers are below expectations in any given quarter, the adverse impact of the shortfall in revenues on operating results may be increased by our inability to adjust spending in the short term to compensate for this shortfall.
We rely on our OEM customers to develop and sell products incorporating our controller technologies and if they fail to successfully develop and sell these products, or curtail or cease the use of our technologies in their products, our business will be harmed.
We rely upon our OEM customers to develop new products, applications and product enhancements utilizing our controller technologies in a timely and cost-effective manner. Our continued success in the controller industry depends upon the ability of these OEM customers to utilize our technologies while meeting changing end-user customer needs and responding to emerging industry standards and other technological changes. However, we cannot provide assurance that our OEM customers will effectively meet these challenges. These OEM customers are generally not obligated to purchase products from us and we cannot provide assurance that they will continue to carry our products. For example, our OEM customers have incorporated into their products the technologies of other companies or internally developed technologies in addition to, or instead of, our technologies and will likely continue to do so in the future. If our OEM customers do not effectively and successfully market products containing our technologies, our revenue will likely be materially and adversely affected.
Our OEM customers work closely with us to develop products that are specific to each OEM customer’s copiers and printers. Many of the products and technologies we are developing require that we coordinate development, quality testing, marketing and other tasks with our OEM customers. We cannot control our OEM customers’
15
Table of Contents
development efforts or the timing of these efforts and coordinating with our OEM customers may cause delays in our own product development efforts that are outside of our control. If our OEM customers delay the release of their products, our revenue and results of operations may be adversely affected. In addition, our revenue and results of operations may be adversely affected if we cannot meet our OEM customers’ product needs for their specific copiers and printers, as well as successfully manage the additional engineering and support effort and other risks associated with such a wide range of products.
Ongoing economic uncertainty has had and may continue to have a negative effect on our business.
The revenue growth and profitability of our business depends significantly on the overall demand for information technology products such as ours that enable printing of digital data, which in turn depends on a variety of macro- and micro-economic conditions. In addition, our revenue growth and profitability in our Inkjet business depends on demand and spending for advertising and marketing products and programs, which also depends on a variety of macro- and micro-economic conditions. Delays or reductions in information technology spending, which has occurred in the past, could cause a decline in demand for our products and services and consequently harm our business, operating results, financial condition, prospects and stock price.
Our operating results may fluctuate based upon many factors, which could adversely affect our stock price.
Stock prices of high technology companies such as ours tend to be volatile as a result of various factors, including variations in operating results and, consequently, fluctuations in our operating results could adversely affect our stock price. Factors that have caused our operating results and share price to fluctuate in the past and that may cause future fluctuations include:
| • | varying demand for our products, due to seasonality, OEM customer product development and marketing efforts, OEM customer financial and operational condition and general economic conditions; |
| • | shifts in customer demand to lower cost products; |
| • | success and timing of new product introductions by us and our OEM customers and the performance of our products generally; |
| • | success and timing of new inkjet product introductions; |
| • | volatility in foreign exchange rates, changes in interest rates and availability of bank or financing credit to consumers of digital copiers and printers; |
| • | price reductions by us and our competitors, which may be exacerbated by competitive pressures caused by economic conditions generally; |
| • | substitution of third-party inks for our own ink products by users of our super-wide format inkjet printers; |
| • | delay, cancellation or rescheduling of orders or projects; |
| • | availability of key components and licenses, including possible delays in deliveries from suppliers, the performance of third-party manufacturers and the status of our relationships with our key suppliers; |
| • | potential excess or shortage of employees and location of research and development centers; |
| • | changes in our product mix such as shifts from higher revenue or gross margin products to lower revenue or gross margin products such as our inkjet products; |
| • | costs associated with complying with any applicable governmental regulations; |
| • | cost associated with possible SEC and regulatory actions regarding our historical stock option granting practices and remedial measures we are taking with respect to our historical stock option granting practices; |
| • | acquisitions and integration of new businesses; |
| • | costs related to our entry into new markets, such as commercial printing and office equipment service automation; |

| • | general economic conditions; |
| • | commencement of litigation or adverse results in pending litigation, including the shareholder derivative suits related to our historical stock option granting practices; and |
| • | other risks described herein. |
We face competition from other suppliers as well as our own OEM customers and if we are not able to compete successfully our business may be harmed.
The digital printing marketplace is highly competitive and is characterized by rapid technological changes. We compete against a number of other suppliers of imaging products and technologies, including our OEM customers themselves. Although we attempt to develop and support innovative products that end customers demand, products or technologies developed by competing suppliers, including our own OEM customers, could render our products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive.
While many of our OEM customers incorporate our technologies into their end products on an exclusive basis, we do not have any formal agreements that prevent these OEM customers from offering alternative products that do not incorporate our technologies. If, as has occurred in the past, an OEM customer offers products incorporating technology from alternative suppliers instead of, or in addition to, products incorporating our technologies, our market share could decrease, which would likely reduce our revenue and adversely affect our financial results.
In addition, many OEMs in the printer and copier industry, including most of our OEM customers, internally develop and sell products that compete directly with our current products. These OEMs have significant investments in their existing solutions and have substantial resources that may enable them to develop or improve, more quickly than us, technologies similar to ours that are compatible with their own products. Our OEM customers have in the past marketed and likely will continue in the future to market, their own internal technologies and solutions in addition to ours, even when their technologies and solutions are less advanced, have lower performance or cost more than our products. Given the significant financial, marketing and other resources of our larger OEM customers and other significant OEMs in the imaging industry who are not our customers, we may not be able to successfully compete against these OEMs selling similar products that they develop internally. If we cannot compete successfully against the OEMs’ internally developed products, we will lose sales and market share in those areas where the OEMs choose to compete and our business will be harmed.
Entry into new markets or distribution channels could result in higher operating expenses that may not be offset by increased revenue.
We continue to explore opportunities to develop or acquire product lines different from our current controllers, such as print management software, document scanning solutions and inkjet printers. We expect to continue to invest funds to develop new distribution and marketing channels for these and additional new products and services, which will increase our operating expenses. We do not know if we will be successful in developing these channels or whether the market will accept any of our new products or services or if we will generate sufficient revenues from these activities to offset the additional operating expenses we incur. In addition, even if we are able to introduce new products or services, if customers do not accept these new products or services or if we are not able to price such products or services competitively, our operating results will likely suffer.
We license software used in most of our products from Adobe Systems Incorporated and the loss of this license would prevent us from shipping these products.
Most of our current products include software that we must license from Adobe. Specifically, we are required to obtain separate licenses from Adobe for the right to use Adobe PostScript® software in each type of copier or printer used with a Fiery Controller. Although to date we have successfully obtained licenses to use Adobe’s PostScript® software when required, Adobe is not required to and we cannot be certain that Adobe will, grant
17
Table of Contents
future licenses to Adobe PostScript® software on reasonable terms, in a timely manner, or at all. In addition, in order to obtain licenses from Adobe, Adobe requires that we obtain from them quality assurance approvals for our products that use Adobe software. Although to date we have successfully obtained such quality assurances from Adobe, we cannot be certain Adobe will grant us such approvals in the future. If Adobe does not grant us such licenses or approvals, if the Adobe licenses are terminated, or if our relationship with Adobe is otherwise materially impaired, we would likely be unable to sell products that incorporate Adobe PostScript® software and our financial condition and results of operations would be significantly harmed.
We depend upon a limited group of suppliers for key components in our products and the loss of any of these suppliers could adversely affect our business.
Certain components necessary for the manufacture of our products are obtained from a sole supplier or a limited group of suppliers. These include processors from Intel and other related semiconductor components and inkjet print heads for our super-wide format printers. We do not maintain long-term agreements with any of our component suppliers and conduct our business with such suppliers solely on a purchase order basis. If we are unable to continue to procure these sole-sourced components from our current suppliers, we will have to qualify other sources, if possible, or design our products so that they no longer require these components. In addition, these suppliers may be concentrated within similar industries or geographic locations, which could potentially exacerbate these risks. We cannot provide assurance that other sources of these components exist or will be willing to supply us on reasonable terms or at all, or that we will be able to design around these components. Therefore any unavailability of supply of these components could harm our business. Because the purchase of certain key components involves long lead times, in the event of unanticipated volatility in demand for our products, we have been in the past and may in the future be unable to manufacture certain products in a quantity sufficient to meet demand. Further, as has occurred in the past, in the event that anticipated demand does not materialize, we may hold excess quantities of inventory that could become obsolete. In order to meet projected demand, we maintain an inventory of components for which we are dependent upon sole or limited source suppliers and components with prices that fluctuate significantly. As a result, we are subject to a risk of inventory obsolescence, which could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. Additionally, the market prices and availability of certain components, particularly memory and Intel-designed components, which collectively represent a substantial portion of the total manufactured cost of our products, have fluctuated significantly in the past. Such fluctuations in the future could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition including a reduction in gross margins.
We are dependent on a limited number of subcontractors, with whom we do not have long-term contracts, to manufacture and deliver products to our customers and the loss of any of these subcontractors could adversely affect our business.
We subcontract with other companies to manufacture our products and we do not have long-term agreements with these subcontractors. We rely on the ability of our subcontractors to produce products to be sold to our customers and while we closely monitor our subcontractors’ performance we cannot assure you that such subcontractors will continue to manufacture our products in a timely and effective manner. In the past a weakened economy led to the dissolution, bankruptcy or consolidation of some of the subcontractors who are able to manufacture our products, decreasing the available number of subcontractors. If the available number of subcontractors were to again decrease, it is possible that we would not be able to secure appropriate subcontractors to fulfill our demand in a timely manner or at all, particularly if demand for our products increases. The existence of fewer subcontractors may also reduce our negotiating leverage potentially resulting in higher product costs. Difficulties experienced by our subcontractors, including financial problems and the inability to make or ship our products or fix quality assurance problems, could harm our business, operating results and financial condition. If we decide to change subcontractors, we could experience delays in finding, qualifying and commencing business with new subcontractors which would result in both delay in delivery of our products and also potentially the cancellation of orders for our products. A high concentration of our Fiery controllers is manufactured at a single subcontractor location, Celestica in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Should
18
Table of Contents
Celestica experience any inability to, or refuse to manufacture or deliver product from this location our business, financial condition and operations could be harmed. Since we do not maintain long-term agreements with our subcontractors, any of our subcontractors could enter into agreements with our competitors that might restrict or prohibit such subcontractors from manufacturing our products or could otherwise lead to an inability of such subcontractors from filling our orders in a timely manner. In such event, we may not be able to find suitable replacement subcontractors and our business, financial condition and operations would likely be harmed.
We may face increased risk of inventory obsolescence related to our super-wide format inkjet printers and ink.
We procure raw materials and build our super-wide printers and ink products based on our sales forecasts. If we do not accurately forecast demand for our products we may end up with excess inventory, or we may lose sales because we do not have the correct products available for sale. If we have excess printers or other products we may have to lower prices to stimulate demand. We may also run the risk that our inventory of raw materials may become obsolete. Our ink products have a defined shelf life. If we do not sell the ink before the end of its shelf life it will no longer be sellable and will have to be expensed.
If we are not able to hire and retain skilled employees, we may not be able to develop products or meet demand for our products in a timely fashion.
We depend upon skilled employees, such as software and hardware engineers, quality assurance engineers and other technical professionals with specialized skills. We are headquartered in the Silicon Valley and additionally have research and development offices in India. Competition in both locations has historically been intense amongst companies hiring engineering and technical professionals. In times of professional labor imbalances, it has in the past and is likely in the future to be difficult for us to locate and hire qualified engineers and technical professionals and for us to retain these people. There are many technology companies located near our corporate offices in the Silicon Valley and our operations in India that may try to hire our employees. The movement of our stock price may also impact our ability to hire and retain employees. If we do not offer competitive compensation, we may not be able to recruit or retain employees.
We offer a broad-based equity compensation plan based on granting options and restricted stock from stockholder-approved plans in order to be competitive in the labor market. If we cannot offer equity awards when necessary to enable us to offer compensation competitive with those offered by other companies seeking the same employees, it may be difficult for us to hire and retain skilled employees.
With the January 1, 2006 adoption of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment (Revised 2004)” (“SFAS 123(R)”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all equity awards made to our employees and directors, including employee stock options, restricted stock and employee stock purchase plans related to all our stock-based compensation plans based on estimated fair values, we anticipate a non-cash reduction to net income after income taxes that might limit our ability to successfully hire, compensate, and retain employees which could affect our ability to develop products, meet demand for existing products, or in other ways harm the results of operations.
On November 1, 2006, we notified participants under our equity compensation plans of the potential suspension of our registration statements on Form S-8 covering the securities issued under these plans as of November 10, 2006. During the suspension period, participants have not been able to exercise options granted or purchase employee stock or have payroll deductions made under the Company’s 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
Our acquisition of VUTEk in June 2005 increased the chance that we will experience additional bad debt expense.
Our OEM customers are typically large profitable customers who present little credit risk to us. Our APPS and Inkjet business sells via a direct sales force to a broader base of customers, many of whom are smaller and
19
Table of Contents
potentially less credit worthy. In addition, many of these customers are located overseas in many countries where it may be hard to enforce our legal rights should collection issues arise.
Because of our recent acquisitions we now sell our products directly to distributors and to the end-user. If we are unable to effectively manage a direct sales force, sales and revenues could decline.
We have traditionally sold our products to our OEM partners, who in turn sold the product to the end-user. Our marketing focused on manufacturers and distributors of the manufacturers’ equipment, not on the end-user of the product. We now sell our professional printing applications and our inkjet printers and ink to the end-user. If we are unable to effectively manage a direct sales force and develop a marketing program that can reach the end-users, we are likely to see a decline in revenues from those products.
We have made acquisitions that are dilutive to existing stockholders. Acquisitions may result in unanticipated accounting charges or otherwise adversely affect our results of operations and result in difficulties in assimilating and integrating the operations, personnel, technologies, products and information systems of acquired companies or businesses.
We seek to develop new technologies and products from both internal and external sources. As part of this effort, we have in the past made, and will likely continue to make, acquisitions of other companies or other companies’ assets. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, such as:
| • | if we issue equity securities in connection with an acquisition, the issuance may be dilutive to our existing stockholders, alternatively, acquisitions made entirely or partially for cash (such as our acquisition of VUTEk) will reduce our cash reserves; |
| • | difficulties in integration of operations, employees, technologies, or products and the related diversion of management time and effort to accomplish successful integration; |
| • | risks of entering markets in which we have little or no prior experience, or entering markets where competitors have stronger market positions; |
| • | possible write-downs of impaired assets; |
| • | potential loss of key employees of the acquired company; |
| • | possible expense overruns; |
| • | an adverse reaction by customers, suppliers or partners of the acquired company or EFI; |
| • | the risk of changes in ratings by stock analysts; |
| • | potential litigation surrounding transactions or the prior actions of the acquired company, such as the Printcafe litigation; |
| • | the inability to protect or secure technology rights; and |
| • | increases in operating costs. |
Mergers and acquisitions of companies are inherently risky and we cannot provide assurance that our previous or future acquisitions will be successful or will not harm our business, operating results, financial condition, or stock price.
We face risks from currency fluctuations.
Approximately $260.7 million and $208.6 million of our revenue from the sale of products for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, came from sales outside the Americas, primarily to Europe and Japan. We expect that sales outside the Americas will continue to represent a significant portion of our total revenue.
20
Table of Contents
Given the significance of our non-US sales to our total product revenue, we face a continuing risk from the fluctuation of the US dollar versus the Japanese yen, the Euro and other major European currencies and numerous Southeast Asian currencies. We typically invoice our customers in US dollars and this may result in our products becoming more expensive in the local currency of our customers, thereby reducing our ability to sell our products. When we do invoice our customers in local currencies, our cash flows and earnings are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates between the currency of the invoice and the US dollar. In addition, we have a substantial number of international employees which creates material operating costs denominated in foreign currencies. In Europe, where we have a significant presence, our sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses have risen in part due to the weakened US dollar. We have attempted to limit or hedge these exposures through operational strategies where we have considered it appropriate in the past, although no hedging activities occurred in 2006. Our efforts to reduce the risk from our international operations and from fluctuations in foreign currencies or interest rates may not be successful, which could harm our financial condition and operating results. In 2006, the impact from currency exchange differences was not material.
We face risks from our international operations.
We are subject to certain risks because of our international operations. Changes to and compliance with a variety of foreign laws and regulations that may increase our cost of doing business and our inability or failure to obtain required approvals could harm our international and domestic sales. Trade legislation in either the United States or other countries, such as a change in the current tariff structures, export compliance laws or other trade policies, could adversely affect our ability to sell or to manufacture in international markets. Some of our sales to international customers are made under export licenses that must be obtained from the United States Department of Commerce (DOC) and certain transactions require prior approval of the DOC. Changes in governmental regulation and our inability or failure to obtain required approvals, permits or registrations could harm our international and domestic sales and adversely affect our revenues, business and operations. Any violations could result in fines and penalties, including prohibiting us from exporting our products to one or more countries, and could materially and adversely affect our business.
Moreover, local laws and customs in many countries differ significantly from those in the United States. We incur additional legal compliance costs associated with our international operations and could become subject to legal penalties in foreign countries if we do not comply with local laws and regulations, which may be substantially different from those in the United States. In many foreign countries, particularly in those with developing economies, it may be common to engage in business practices that are prohibited by United States regulations applicable to us such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Although we implement policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with these laws, there can be no assurance that all of our employees, contractors and agents, as well as those companies to which we outsource certain of our business operations, including those based in or from countries where practices which violate such United States laws may be customary, will not take actions in violation of our policies. Any such violation, even if prohibited by our policies, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Other risks include natural disasters and political or economic conditions in a specific country or region. In addition, many countries in which we derive revenues do not currently have comprehensive and highly developed legal systems, particularly with respect to the protection of intellectual property rights, which, among other things, can result in the prevalence of infringing products and counterfeit goods in certain countries, which could harm our business and reputation.
We may be unable to adequately protect our proprietary information and may incur expenses to defend our proprietary information.
We rely on a combination of copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret protection, nondisclosure agreements and licensing and cross-licensing arrangements to establish, maintain and protect our intellectual property rights, all of which afford only limited protection. We have patents and pending patent applications in the United States and in various foreign countries. There can be no assurance that patents will issue from our pending applications
21
Table of Contents
or from any future applications, or that, if issued, any claims allowed will be sufficiently broad to protect our technology. Any failure to adequately protect our proprietary information could harm our financial condition and operating results. We cannot be certain that any patents that have been or may in the future be issued to us, or which we license from third parties, or any other of our proprietary rights will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. In addition, we cannot be certain that any rights granted to us under any patents, licenses or other proprietary rights will provide adequate protection of our proprietary information. In addition, as different areas of our business change or mature, from time to time we evaluate our patent portfolio and make decisions either to pursue or not to pursue specific patents and patent applications related to such areas. Choosing not to pursue certain of our patents, patentable applications and failing to file applications for potentially patentable inventions, may harm our business by, among other things, enabling our competitors to more effectively compete with us, reducing the potential claims we can bring against third parties for patent infringement and limiting our potential defenses to intellectual property claims brought by third parties.
Litigation has been and may continue to be necessary to defend and enforce our proprietary rights. Such litigation, whether or not concluded successfully for us, could involve significant expense and the diversion of our attention and other resources, which could harm our financial condition and operating results.
We face risks from third party claims of infringement and potential litigation.
Third parties have claimed in the past and may claim in the future that our products infringe, or may infringe, their proprietary rights. Such claims have in the past resulted in lengthy and expensive litigation and could do so in the future. Such claims and any related litigation, whether or not we are successful in the litigation, could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources, which could harm our financial condition and operating results. Although we may seek licenses from third parties covering intellectual property that we are allegedly infringing, we cannot assure you that any such licenses could be obtained on acceptable terms, if at all.
We may be subject to environmental related liabilities due to our use of hazardous materials and solvents.
We conduct our business operations that involve the use of certain hazardous materials at two separate locations. At these facilities, we mix ink used in some of our printers with solvents and other hazardous materials. Those materials are subject to various governmental regulations relating to their transfer, handling, packaging, use and disposal. We store the ink at warehouses worldwide, including Europe and the United States, and shipping companies ship it at our direction. We face potential responsibility for problems such as spills that may arise when we ship the ink to customers. While we customarily obtain insurance coverage typical for this kind of risk, if we fail to comply with these laws or an accident involving our ink waste or solvents occurs, then our business and financial results could be harmed.
Future sales of our hardware products in European Union member nations (EU) could be limited due to the enactment of the EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (ROHS).
Since July 1, 2006 forward, new electrical and electronic equipment sold into EU nations must not contain lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). These must be replaced by other non- or less than-toxic substances. Manufacturers must comply with significant, and potentially costly, compliance requirements in order to meet the ROHS deadline. Some of our products may not have been converted before the deadline. As a result, we may not be allowed to sell those products in the EU until the products are made fully compliant, which could harm our business and financial results We could also incur additional costs and liabilities in connection with non-compliant product recalls, regulatory fines and exclusion of non-compliant products from certain markets.
Our products may contain defects which are not discovered until after shipping.
Our products consist of hardware and software developed by ourselves and others. Our products may contain undetected errors and we have in the past discovered software and hardware errors in certain of our products after
22
Table of Contents
their introduction, resulting in warranty expense and other expenses incurred in connection with rectifying such errors. Errors could be found in new versions of our products after commencement of commercial shipment and any such errors could result in a loss or delay in market acceptance of such products and thus harm our reputation and revenues. In addition, errors in our products (including errors in licensed third party software) detected prior to new product releases could result in delays in the introduction of new products and our incurring additional expense, which could harm our operating results.
Actual or perceived security vulnerabilities in our products could adversely affect our revenues.
Maintaining the security of our software and hardware products is an issue of critical importance to our customers and for us. There are individuals and groups who develop and deploy viruses, worms and other malicious software programs that could attack our products. Although we take preventative measures to protect our products, and we have a response team that is notified of high-risk malicious events, these procedures may not be sufficient to mitigate damage to our products. Actual or perceived security vulnerabilities in our products could lead some customers to seek to return products, to reduce or delay future purchases or to purchase competitive products. Customers may also increase their expenditures on protecting their computer systems from attack, which could delay or reduce purchases of our products. Any of these actions or responses by customers could adversely affect our revenues.
System failures or system unavailability could harm our business.
We rely on our network infrastructure, internal technology systems and our internal and external websites for our development, marketing, operational, support and sales activities. Our hardware and software systems related to such activities are subject to damage from malicious code released into the public Internet through recently discovered vulnerabilities in popular software programs. These systems are also subject to acts of vandalism and to potential disruption by actions or inactions of third parties. Any event that causes failures or interruption in our hardware or software systems could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.
The location and concentration of our facilities subjects us to the risk of earthquakes, floods or other natural disasters and public health risks.
Our corporate headquarters, including most of our research and development facilities, are located in the San Francisco Bay Area, an area known for seismic activity. This area has also experienced flooding in the past. In addition, many of the components necessary to supply our products are purchased from suppliers based in areas including the San Francisco Bay Area, Taiwan and Japan and are therefore subject to risk from natural disasters. A significant natural disaster, such as an earthquake, flood or typhoon, could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.
Our employees, suppliers and customers are located worldwide. We face the risk that our employees, suppliers, or customers, either through travel or contact with other individuals, could become exposed to contagious diseases endemic to particular regions of the world. In addition, governments in those regions have from time-to-time imposed quarantines and taken other actions in response to contagious diseases that could affect our operations. If a significant number of employees, suppliers, or customers were unable to fulfill their obligations, due to contagious diseases, actions taken in response to contagious diseases, or other reasons, our business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed.
We are subject to numerous federal and state employment laws and may face claims in the future under such laws.
EFI is subject to numerous federal and state employment laws, and from time to time EFI faces claims by its employees and former employees under such laws. In addition, the number of cases involving alleged violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act and state wage and hour laws has recently increased in the software industry. The outcome of these types of cases is highly fact specific and the law, particularly in California, is still evolving. Although there are no pending or threatened claims under wage and hour laws against EFI, we cannot assure you
23
Table of Contents
that claims under such laws or other employment-related laws will not be attempted in the future against EFI, nor can we predict the likely impact of any such claims on EFI, or that, if asserted, EFI would be able to successfully resolve any such claims without incurring significant expenses.
We may be subject to the risk of loss due to fire because the materials we use in the manufacturing process of our inks are flammable.
We use flammable materials in the manufacturing processes of our inks and may therefore be subject to the risk of loss arising from fires. The risk of fire associated with these materials cannot be completely eliminated. We own certain facilities that manufacture our inks, which increases our exposure to such risk in case these facilities are destroyed. We maintain insurance policies to reduce losses caused by fire, including business interruption insurance. If one or more of these facilities is damaged or otherwise ceases operations as a result of a fire, it would reduce manufacturing capacity and, consequently, may reduce revenues and adversely affect our business.
The value of our investment portfolio is subject to interest rate volatility.
We have an investment portfolio of mainly fixed income securities classified as available-for-sale securities. As a result, our investment portfolio is subject to volatility if market interest rates fluctuate. We attempt to limit this exposure to interest rate risk by investing in securities with maturities of less than three years; however, we may be unable to successfully limit our risk to interest rate fluctuations and this may cause volatility in our investment portfolio value.
Our stock price has been volatile historically and may continue to be volatile.
The market price for our common stock has been and may continue to be volatile. For example, during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2006, the price of our common stock as reported on The NASDAQ Global Select Market ranged from a low of $19.13 to a high of $29.18. We expect our stock price to be subject to fluctuations as a result of a variety of factors, including factors beyond our control. These factors include:
| • | actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly or annual operating results; |
| • | our failure to meet analyst expectations; |
| • | announcements of technological innovations or new products or services by us or our competitors; |
| • | announcements relating to strategic relationships, acquisitions or investments; |
| • | announcements by our customers regarding their businesses or the products in which our products are included; |
| • | changes in financial estimates or other statements by securities analysts; |
| • | changes in general economic conditions; |
| • | terrorist attacks and the effects of military engagements or natural disasters; |
| • | changes in the rating of our debentures or other securities; |
| • | changes in the economic performance and/or market valuations of other software and high-technology companies; |
| • | commencement of litigation or adverse results in pending litigation, including shareholder derivative suits related to our historical stock option practices; |
| • | commencement of possible SEC and regulatory actions regarding our historical stock option grant practices; and |
| • | a potentially high volume of sales of our stock by our employees once we have filed all periodic reports with the SEC resulting from an expected demand to sell equity held by employees, and the prior unavailability of an effective registration statement covering the issuance of such employee equity. |
24
Table of Contents
Because of this volatility, we may fail to meet the expectations of our stockholders or of securities analysts from time-to-time and the trading prices of our securities could decline as a result. In addition, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the trading prices of equity securities of many high-technology companies. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Any negative change in the public’s perception of high-technology companies could depress our stock price regardless of our operating results.
Our stock repurchase program could affect our stock price and add volatility.
Any repurchases pursuant to our stock repurchase program could affect our stock price and add volatility. There can be no assurance that the repurchases will be made at the best possible price. The existence of a stock repurchase program could also cause our stock price to be higher than it would be in the absence of such a program and could potentially reduce the market liquidity for our stock. Additionally, we are permitted to and could discontinue our stock repurchase program at any time and any such discontinuation could cause the market price of our stock to decline. For example, we suspended our stock repurchase program in connection with our investigation of our historical stock option grant practices.
Under regulations required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, an adverse opinion on internal controls over financial reporting could be issued by our auditors, and this could have a negative impact on our stock price.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that we establish and maintain an adequate internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting and assess on an on-going basis the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting. Our auditors, an independent registered public accounting firm, are required to attest to and audit both the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and management’s assessment of the design and the effectiveness of its internal controls for financial reporting. Although no known material weaknesses are believed to exist at this time, it is possible that material weaknesses could be identified. If we are unable to remediate the weaknesses, our management would be required to conclude that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective and our auditors would be required to issue an adverse opinion on our internal controls over financial reporting. It is uncertain what impact an adverse opinion would have on our stock price. In addition to their inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting and the audit of such controls by our auditors may not prevent or detect misstatements, errors, omissions, or fraud.
A reduction in our net income as reported on our financial statements could increase the likelihood of identifying a material weakness in our internal controls.
The threshold for determining whether or not we have a material weakness in our internal controls and procedures as defined by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act is, in part, based on our generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, net income. Lowered GAAP net income, with an associated lowered materiality threshold, may increase our risk of having to disclose control weaknesses. For example, continued acquisitions, and the associated amortization of intangibles, will increase our amortization expenses and in the future may lower our GAAP earnings which would result in a lower materiality threshold for internal control testing. A lower materiality threshold requires us to test more areas of the business. As the number of areas tested increases, the statistical chance of discovering a material weakness increases.
Our debt service obligations may adversely affect our cash flow.
In June 2003, we issued $240 million in 1.50% convertible senior debentures due in 2023. During the period the debentures are outstanding, we will have debt service obligations on the debentures of approximately $3.6 million per year in interest payments, payable semi-annually. In addition, beginning June 1, 2008, we could be required to pay contingent interest of 0.35% if during any six-month period from June 1 to November 30 and
25
Table of Contents
December 1 to May 31, the average market price of the debentures for the five trading days ending on the third trading day immediately preceding the first day of the relevant nine-month period equals 120% or more of the principal amount of the debentures. Due to our failure to timely file our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2006, March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007 and this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we received notices of default of certain covenants of the indenture. For a more detailed description of the default, see Item 1A—Alleged defaults of our convertible senior debentures, if not cured, may result in acceleration of the debentures.
Our debt service obligations related to the debentures include the following redemption and repurchase terms that could also affect our cash position:
| • | On or after June 1, 2008, we may redeem the debentures for cash at any time as a whole, or from time to time in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the debenture to be redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest, if any; |
| • | On June 1, 2008 a holder may require us to repurchase all or a portion of that holder’s debentures at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of those debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of repurchase in cash; and |
| • | A holder may require us to repurchase all or a portion of that holder’s debentures if a fundamental change, as defined in the indenture, occurs prior to June 1, 2008 at 100% of their principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest, if any to, but not including, the repurchase date. We may choose to pay the repurchase price in cash. |
If we issue other debt securities in the future, our debt service obligations will increase. We intend to fulfill our debt service obligations from cash generated by our operations, if any, and from our existing cash and investments. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash to meet these obligations and must instead use our existing cash or investments, we may have to reduce, curtail or terminate other activities of our business. We may add lines of credit and obtain other long-term debt and mortgage financing to finance capital expenditures in the future.
Our indebtedness could have significant negative consequences. For example, it could:
| • | increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions, as we are required to make interest payments and maintain compliance with financial covenants contained in the debentures regardless of such external conditions; |
| • | limit our ability to obtain additional financing due to covenants contained in the debentures and the existing leverage evidenced by the debentures; |
| • | require the dedication of a substantial portion of any cash flow from operations to the payment of principal of and interest on, our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of such cash flow to fund our growth strategy, working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes; |
| • | limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry by restricting the funds available for use in addressing such changes; and |
| • | place us at a competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors with less debt. |

We believe that our facilities, in general, are adequate for our present needs. We do not expect that, if the need arises, we would experience difficulties in obtaining additional space at favorable rates.
Legal Proceedings
As more fully discussed below, from time to time we may be involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings relating to contractual disputes, securities law, intellectual property, employment matters and other claims or litigation matters relating to various claims that arise in the normal course of our business. We determine whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. We assess our potential liability by analyzing our specific litigation and regulatory matters using available information. We develop our views on estimated losses in consultation with inside and outside counsel, which involves a subjective analysis of potential results and outcomes, assuming various combinations of appropriate litigation and settlement strategies. Because of the uncertainties related to both the amount and ranges of possible loss on the pending litigation matters, we are unable to predict with certainty the precise liability that could finally result from a range of possible unfavorable outcomes. However, taking all of the above factors into account, we reserve an amount that we could reasonably expect to pay for the cases discussed. However, our estimates could be wrong, and we could pay more or less
27
Table of Contents
than our current accrual. Litigation can be costly, diverting management’s attention and could, upon resolution, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.
Leggett & Platt, Inc. and L&P Property Management Company v. VUTEk, Inc.:
In May 2005, prior to EFI’s acquisition of VUTEk, Leggett & Platt, Inc. (“L&P’), and its patent holding subsidiary brought a patent infringement action against VUTEk in the United States District Court in the Eastern District of Missouri. After conducting extensive discovery, EFI moved for summary judgment that the asserted patent is invalid and not infringed. After several months of reviewing the evidence, on December 26, 2006, the Court granted EFI’s summary judgment motion and ruled that all of L&P’s asserted patent claims were invalid on multiple grounds. The Court found that each asserted patent claim was obvious and already disclosed in VUTEk’s own prior patents. In addition to those two grounds for invalidity, the Court also found L&P’s patent claims invalid because the L&P patent claims were vague and indefinite in view of the patent claim interpretations suggested by L&P. The Court also granted EFI’s motion to recover its costs from L&P. L&P filed a notice of appeal, and EFI moved to dismiss the appeal for lack of proper certification from the trial court. The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C. granted EFI’s motion and dismissed L&P’s first appeal. After obtaining a final certification from the trial court, L&P filed a new notice of appeal. EFI will continue to vigorously contest L&P’s second attempt at an appeal.
Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) Export Investigation:
In January 2005, prior to EFI’s acquisition of VUTEk, the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) initiated an investigation of VUTEk relating to VUTEk’s alleged failure to comply with U.S. export regulations in connection with several export sales to Syria in 2004. EFI self-initiated an internal compliance review of historical export practices for both VUTEk and EFI. Potential violations uncovered during our compliance review were voluntarily disclosed to BIS in November 2006 (for VUTEk) and December 2006 (for EFI). Additionally, we provided BIS with detailed reports of our compliance review findings and supplemental information in March 2007 (for VUTEk) and May 2007 (for EFI). The areas of possible non-compliance found in the internal review relate to: (1) deemed exports of controlled encryption source code and/or technology to foreign nationals of Syria and Iran, (2) exports of printers and other products with encryption functionality before completion of encryption reviews by BIS and (3) statistical reporting errors on some export declarations. At present, we believe that these matters will be resolved solely with administrative penalties. However, there is no assurance that these matters will not have an unforeseen outcome that could impair our ability to export product outside of the United States and Canada.
Purported Derivative Shareholder Lawsuits:
On August 16, 2006, a purported derivative shareholder complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo captioned Parish v. Avida et al., No. CIV 457013. A substantively identical complaint was filed in the same court on September 11, 2006 captioned Fennimore v. Avida et al., No. CIV 457566. These actions were consolidated as In re Electronics For Imaging, Inc. Derivative Litigation, Master File No. 457013. The consolidated complaint filed December 18, 2006, alleged claims—derivatively and on behalf of the Company as nominal defendant—against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and/or directors and sought redress for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by and unjust enrichment of the individual defendants. Plaintiffs claimed that, from 1994 to 2003, the defendants colluded to improperly backdate stock option grants to various officers and directors in violation of the Company’s stock option plans. Further, Plaintiffs claimed that the individual defendants colluded to improperly record and account for the allegedly backdated options in violation of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and to produce and disseminate statements that improperly recorded and accounted for the options and concealed the allegedly improper backdating. According to plaintiffs, the Company has suffered damage as a result of the individual defendants’ alleged misconduct, and the recipients of the options have allegedly garnered unlawful profits. On January 30, 2007 the court entered a stipulated order dismissing the consolidated action and, on February 2, 2007, plaintiffs

filed a similar complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California captioned Parish et al. v. Avida et al., No. C07-00698.
On November 22, 2006, another purported derivative shareholder complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo captioned City of Ann Arbor Employees’ Retirement Association v. Gecht et al., No. CIV 459145. The complaint asserted derivative claims against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and/or directors, alleging that the director defendants breached their fiduciary duty by improperly manipulating certain stock option grants between 1996 and 2003, thereby violating the terms of the Company’s stock option plan, causing the Company to issue false and misleading financial statements and proxy statements, and unjustly enriching the executives who received the subject option grants. The complaint also purported to be brought on behalf of a class consisting of all others similarly situated and alleges a class claim for breach of the fiduciary duty of disclosure. On December 5, 2006 the case was removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and, on March 9, 2007, the court denied plaintiff’s motion to remand the case back to state court. On April 3, 2007 the court granted plaintiff’s motion to voluntarily dismiss its complaint. Plaintiff re-filed its complaint in Delaware Chancery Court on April 9, 2007.
On November 27, 2006 a purported derivative shareholder complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California captioned Indiana State District Council of Laborers and Hod Carriers Pension Fund v. Gecht et al., No. C-06-7274(EMC). Similar to the derivative allegations asserted in the previously-filed complaints, the plaintiff alleges that, between 1997 and 2006, the individual defendants improperly manipulated the grant date of certain stock option grants and made false or misleading statements regarding such grants. Plaintiff claims that the individual defendants’ alleged misconduct violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as California and Delaware law. On March 22, 2007, the court issued an Order consolidating this action with the Parish action. On April 12, 2007 Parish and Fennimore were appointed lead plaintiffs and their attorneys lead counsel. On July 25, 2007 the Court granted plaintiffs’ unopposed motion to stay the action in deference to the litigation pending in Delaware (described below).
On March 15, 2007 a complaint was filed in Delaware Chancery Court captioned Denver Employees Retirement Plan v. Gecht et al., No. 2797. The complaint asserts derivative claims against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and/or directors, alleging that the director defendants breached their fiduciary duty by improperly manipulating certain stock option grants between 1996 and 2003, thereby violating the terms of the Company’s stock option plan, causing the Company to issue false and misleading financial statements and proxy statements, and unjustly enriching the executives who received the subject option grants. The complaint also purported to be brought on behalf of a class consisting of all others similarly situated and alleges a class claim for breach of the fiduciary duty of disclosure. On May 9, 2007, the court granted the parties’ proposed order consolidating the Denver and Ann Arbor cases, designating the Denver complaint as the operative complaint, and appointing the named plaintiffs lead plaintiffs and their counsel lead counsel. Defendants have moved to dismiss the action.
Durst Fototechnik Technology GmbH v. Electronics for Imaging, GmbH et al.:
On February 23, 2007, Durst brought a patent infringement action against EFI GmbH in the Mannheim District Court in Germany. On May 10, 2007, EFI GmbH filed its Statement of Defenses. These defenses include lack of jurisdiction, non-infringement, invalidity and unenforceability based on Durst’s improper actions before the German patent office. EFI Inc. filed its Statement of Defense on August 29, 2007. EFI Inc.’s defenses include those for EFI GmbH as well as an additional defense for prior use based on EFI’s own European patent rights. Trial has been set in Mannheim for November 30, 2007. EFI will continue to defend itself vigorously.
Acacia Patent Litigation
On August 8, 2007, Screentone Systems Corporation, a subsidiary of Acacia Technologies Group, initiated litigation against several defendants, including Konica Minolta Printing Solutions, Canon USA, and Ricoh

Table of Contents
Americas, for infringement of a patent related to apparatus and methods of digital halftoning in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. Konica Minolta, Canon and Ricoh are EFI customers. While the complaint does not identify any accused products nor reference EFI directly, at least one defendant has notified EFI that Acacia representatives have communicated that at least one basis for its infringement claim is based on certain EFI Fiery products. EFI has contractual obligations to indemnify its customers to varying degrees and subject to various circumstances. At least one defendant has written requesting indemnification for any EFI products that allegedly infringe these patents. While EFI does not believe that its products infringed this patent, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.
Tesseron Patent Litigation
On September 26, 2007, Tesseron, Ltd. initiated litigation against Konica Minolta Business Solutions USA, Konica Minolta Business Technologies and Konica Minolta Holdings for infringement of eight patents related to variable printing technology in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division. Konica Minolta is an EFI customer and the complaint references EFI Fiery variable data enabled printer controllers. Additionally, Tesseron has on multiple occasions over the past 4 years sent threatening letters to EFI. However, Tesseron failed to reply to each of EFI’s requests for a dialogue. EFI has contractual obligations to indemnify its customers to varying degrees and subject to various circumstances. Konica Minolta has written requesting indemnification for any EFI products that allegedly infringe these patents. While EFI does not believe that its products infringed any of these patents, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.
Nasdaq Delisting Proceedings:
Due to the Special Committee investigation, we were unable to file on a timely basis with the SEC our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2007 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2007. On November 15, 2006, we received a Nasdaq staff determination notice stating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) due to our failure to timely file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006, and that our securities are, therefore, subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Global Select Market. We received additional Nasdaq staff determination notices with respect to our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007.
We requested and subsequently attended a hearing before the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the staff determination and presented a plan to cure the filing deficiencies and regain compliance. The Panel granted our request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market, subject to certain conditions which we were unable to meet because of the then-ongoing independent investigation of our historical stock option grants. As a result, the Panel notified us that it had determined to delist our securities, which ordinarily would have resulted in the suspension of our securities effective on May 17, 2007. However, the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Listing Council”), pursuant to its discretionary authority under Marketplace Rule 4807(b), called for review the decision of the Panel regarding our case and stayed any action by the Panel to suspend our securities from trading on The Nasdaq Global Select Market pending further action by the Listing Council.
On July 2, 2007, we provided the Listing Council with an additional submission for its consideration, and requested that the Listing Council exercise its discretionary authority, pursuant to Marketplace Rule 4802(b), in favor of granting us an additional extension to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s filing requirement, as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14).

On August 23, 2007, the Listing Council notified us that it had determined to exercise its discretionary authority, under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4802(b), to grant us an exception to demonstrate compliance with all of The Nasdaq Global Select Market continued listing requirements through October 22, 2007.

As of September 28, 2007 there were 381 stockholders of record. Because many of such shares are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, we are unable to provide the actual number of stockholders represented by these record holders.
We have never paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently anticipate that we will retain all available funds for our business and will not pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Equity Compensation Plan Information
Information regarding our equity compensation plans may be found in Item 12 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Repurchases of Equity Securities
In August 2004, our Board of Directors authorized $100.0 million to be used for the repurchase of our outstanding common stock. A total of 53 thousand shares were repurchased under this program in 2004 and an additional 2,263 thousand shares were purchased under a previous Board of Directors authorization of $50.0 million which was completed in 2004. No shares were repurchased in 2005 and 1,523 thousand shares were repurchased in 2006. Our buyback program is limited by the SEC regulations and by trading windows set by the Company’s policy. The $100.0 million repurchase program was intended to partially offset the exercise of common stock options by employees and the distribution of common stock through the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Approximately $65.1 million remains under the program to purchase shares at December 31, 2006. In connection with our investigation of our historical stock option practices, we suspended our buyback program in August 2006.

The restatements result from an independent investigation by a special committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Special Committee”) into our historical stock option granting practices. Information relating to the Special Committee investigation has been disclosed in Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on October 24, 2006 and June 29, 2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Special Committee Investigation of Historical Stock Option Practices
In May 2006, Citigroup published a number of reports, one of which identified us as having well-timed option grants among seven companies in our sector, and therefore, as being at risk for greater scrutiny of our option granting practices. The report identified certain stock options granted to executive officers of the Company on selected dates during the years 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2001.
On August 16, 2006, the first of several shareholder derivative suits was filed, alleging that certain of our current and former officers and directors breached their fiduciary duty in connection with the administration and accounting associated with stock option grants to officers.
On October 20, 2006, our management reviewed information compiled by our litigation counsel, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich and Rosati (“WSGR”) and discussed the matter with the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors’ Special Committee, consisting of directors selected to carry out an independent investigation of our historical stock option granting practices, retained independent counsel and forensic accounting advisors to assist with their investigation.
Completion of Special Committee Investigation of Historical Stock Option Practices
On June 25, 2007, the Special Committee, with its independent counsel and forensic accountants, reported their completion of the investigation to management and the Board of Directors.
The Special Committee investigation focused on our historical stock option granting practices from the Company’s initial public offering on October 2, 1992 through 2006. In particular, they reviewed in detail 22 unique company-wide grant dates and developed observations related to each of the grants on those specific dates.
The Special Committee’s advisors worked in excess of a collective 30,000 professional hours. The work included:
| • | Conducting 46 interviews of 27 current and former directors, officers, employees, and advisors to the Company. |
| • | Collecting documents from 28 current and former directors, officers, and employees, files from certain Company servers, and documents from outside legal counsel, among other sources. In total, the Special Committee collected approximately 9.5 million pages of hard copy and electronic documents. |
| • | Reviewing approximately 4.5 million pages of hard copy and electronic documents. |
| • | Analyzing each option grant based on its price, the number of options, and other relevant information. |
| • | Performing extensive analytics. |
The Special Committee found that a substantial number of the grants to existing officers, directors and employees were priced on dates coinciding with our low stock price for the month, and, in some instances, the quarter. Information collected during the investigation suggests that, prior to 2004, many such option grants were priced with the benefit of a “look back” at historical stock prices, with such “look backs” ranging up to several weeks. The Special Committee found that grants to newly-hired employees, dated April 1994 through October 2003, were typically priced with an effective date coinciding with a low stock price for a given period.

Based on its investigation, the Special Committee concluded, among other things, that we lacked contemporaneous evidence supporting a number of the recorded option grant dates. The affected grants included grants to (1) newly hired employees, (2) employees joining EFI in connection with one or more acquisition, and (3) existing employees, officers, and directors.
Management’s Review of the Investigative Forensic Evidence provided by the Special Committee
The Special Committee provided to management forensic evidence collected during the investigation in order for us to reassess the original measurement dates selected for accounting purposes. To review the forensic evidence, a systematic approach was developed for evaluating the historical measurement dates for new hire grants (including grants to new hires related to acquisitions) and company-wide (“broad-based”) grants to existing employees, officers, and directors and for determining the revised measurement date, if a revision was warranted. On grant dates where we lacked strong contemporaneous evidence supporting the original grant date; our approach was subject to judgment and in some cases multiple reasonable assumptions were considered and multiple measurement dates could have been supported by the documents available to management.
We hired experienced accountants and financial reporting consultants to assist in management’s review of the documentation provided by the Special Committee and to expand our review to all stock options and restricted stock awards granted in the review period. Our consultants worked collectively in excess of 11,000 hours.
In addition to the materials provided by the Special Committee, management conducted its own review of the following: 757 individual personnel and stock option files which we determined to be of interest; accounting records for fiscal years 1992-2006 and supporting reports for stock-based compensation; 1992-2006 Board of Director and committee documentation and minutes; emails and the stock-based compensation accounting database.
We have determined there were 756 unique grant dates that required review as a result of the observations by the Special Committee. Those unique grant dates can be classified as 718 grant dates for newly hired employees (including new hires related to acquisitions) and 38 broad-based grant dates.
Based on the results of this review, we concluded that the original measurement date used for accounting purposes required revision in a number of cases. This created a non-cash intrinsic value equaling the difference between the exercise price (fair market value of our stock on the original measurement date) and the fair market value of our stock on the revised measurement date.

The table and chart below illustrate the total gross non-cash intrinsic value in each year for which a revised measurement date was required (amortization of the intrinsic value is not reflected in the table); these amounts are higher than the amounts ultimately recorded as compensation expense in the financial statements because they do not reflect reductions due to the accounting for forfeitures, cancellations, and income tax effects.

The original new hire measurement dates were evaluated based on the employee hire date and the specific “look back” period convention used to determine the original exercise price. The revised measurement date was determined, with judgment by us, to be the last day of the “look back” period since it appeared from the available evidence that the number of shares and exercise price were both known on that date. Beginning in October 2003, we modified our procedures to no longer use a “look back” period convention to determine the exercise price for new hire stock option grants and, as such, there were no material adjustments to the original measurement dates for new hires after that date.
The revised measurement dates for new hire grants resulted in approximately $13.4 million of incremental gross non-cash intrinsic value (before accounting for forfeitures, cancellations, and the related income tax effects); all of which relates to measurement date revisions originating in periods prior to January 2004.
Broad-based grants to employees, directors, and officers were evaluated using all available evidence to systematically evaluate the appropriateness of previously determined measurement dates. We then applied judgment in determining whether the measurement dates of any of the unique grant dates under review required revision. The revised measurement dates for broad-based grants resulted in approximately $140.6 million of incremental gross non-cash intrinsic value (before accounting for forfeitures, cancellations, and related tax effects); this entire amount relates to measurement date revisions originating in periods prior to January 2004.
We applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and its related interpretations beginning in 1989 through our fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and provided the required pro forma disclosures under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” beginning in 1996 through our fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. Under APB 25 (intrinsic value model), non-cash stock-based compensation expense (“non-cash intrinsic value”) was required to be recognized for any option in which the exercise price was below the market price of our stock on the measurement date. If, after our review and the revision of certain measurement dates, our stock options had an exercise price below the market price of our stock on the revised measurement date, we have recognized in the restated financial statements stock-based compensation expense for the options under APB 25 equal to the number of option shares, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price and the market price of our stock on the revised measurement date. That expense has been recognized over the vesting periods of the options on a straight-line basis. If a stock option was forfeited prior to vesting, the compensation expense recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in prior periods was reversed, as was any remaining unamortized unearned stock-based compensation associated with the forfeited stock options.
We also reviewed the accounting treatment for stock options related to employee terminations and separation agreements and other possible modification conditions.
Prior to 2006, modifications were accounted for under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 44 (“FIN 44”) “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensations”, which required that an award be re-measured at the modification date and to record any incremental increase in intrinsic value as a compensation charge. For modifications made in conjunction with employment terminations, the compensation charge was recognized immediately since the shares were fully vested and no additional services were required.
We evaluated modifications in relation to the original grant terms and changes to employee status to determine if modifications had been accounted for appropriately in our consolidated statement of operations, and determined that incremental gross compensation charges of $37.4 million (before income tax effect) should be recorded related to modifications in or prior to 2001. In the past, we elected to modify the terms of stock option awards to certain employees, including officers, in a manner that provided the employee with a greater benefit than in the original award. These modifications occurred on termination of employment to allow for additional vesting and/or extension beyond our plan’s standard exercise period of three (3) months after termination. Of these charges, $30.6 million involved a separation agreement executed in 2000 between us and our former Chief Executive
40
Table of Contents
Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors. Another $3.0 million involved a separation agreement in 1998 with a former vice president. These two officer modifications accounted for $33.6 million or approximately 89% of the total modifications.
Summary of Adjustments for Stock-Based Compensation
While the chart and table above illustrate the gross intrinsic value before forfeitures, cancellations and related income tax effects, the table below illustrates the stock-based compensation expense impact to the consolidated statement of operations and the associated income tax provision (benefit) in the periods in which they were recorded. We used a straight-line method to amortize the gross intrinsic value over the vesting period and accounted for forfeitures and cancellations in the period they occurred. In the aggregate, we recorded additional stock-based compensation expense for the period 1992 through 2005 of approximately $151.7 million with associated income tax benefits of $53.0 million for a net expense of $98.7 million related to stock-based compensation.

Summary of Other Accounting Adjustments
As part of our restatement, we also recorded additional non-cash adjustments for previously identified adjustments that at the time were considered to be immaterial. These adjustments primarily related to the timing of revenue recognized for certain VUTEk contracts during 2005. The contract revenue and related costs of sales
41
Table of Contents
($1.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively) originally recognized in 2005 were deferred at December 31, 2005 as part of the restatement resulting in an adjustment, net of taxes, of $0.3 million in our statement of operations. The contract revenue and related costs were subsequently recognized in 2006.
For additional information regarding the restatement, please see Note 2, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Related Tax Matters
We also considered the application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code to certain stock option grants where, under APB No. 25, intrinsic value existed at the time of grant. Holders of options with revised measurement dates granted by us may be subject to adverse tax consequences, including a penalty tax under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and, as applicable, similar penalty taxes under California and other state tax laws. On July 2, 2007, we paid $0.56 million under Internal Revenue Service and California compliance programs on behalf of certain option holders who had already exercised affected options during 2006 for the additional taxes incurred under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. We also remitted an additional $0.54 million to the Internal Revenue Service and state tax agencies to cover any tax liabilities of our employees resulting from our payment of Section 409A taxes on July 2, 2007 on their behalf.
We also considered the application of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code to stock option exercises by certain executive officers where, under APB No. 25, intrinsic value existed at the time of grant. Section 162(m) limits the corporate tax deduction to $1.0 million annually for any non-performance based compensation paid to an affected executive officer. The exercise of those options with intrinsic value at the time of grant will be considered non-performance based compensation, and the resulting gains have been disallowed as a corporate tax deduction to the extent these amounts, when combined with all other non-performance based compensation paid annually, exceed the annual $1.0 million Section 162(m) limitation. We have recorded a charge of approximately $1.3 million related to Section 162(m) disallowances for the tax years 2003 to 2006.

Overview
Key financial results for 2006 were as follows:
| • | Our consolidated revenues increased by approximately 21%, or $97.5 million, from $467.1 million in 2005 to $564.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This was due primarily to the addition of the VUTEk product line in mid-2005, which contributed $92.0 million of the increase, and the October, 2006 addition of Jetrion revenues. Those increases were offset by slight decreases in revenue from our Controllers product revenues and the sale of the Mobile Workforce Automation (MWA) business in June 2006. |
| • | Gross margins decreased to 59% in 2006 versus 62% in 2005 due to the inclusion of the VUTEk product line for a full year in 2006 versus seven months in 2005, offsetting higher margins on our Controllers line of products. |
| • | Operating expenses as a percent of revenues decreased from 65% in 2005 to 57% in 2006 due to decreases in in-process research and development (IPR&D) expense recorded in connection with the acquisition of VUTEk and Jetrion. IPR&D costs totaled 2% and 10% of revenue for 2006 and 2005, respectively. After excluding IPR&D, operating expenses remained at 55% of revenues. |
| • | Interest and other income increased from 2% of revenue in 2005 to 5% of revenue in 2006 due to higher interest rates and higher invested balances and a $7 million gain on sale of the MWA business. |
42
Table of Contents
| • | Our tax provision increased from 16% of operating income in 2005 to 100% of operating income in 2006 primarily due to a one-time charge related to the migration of the non-North American chipset product lines to our European headquarters. |

Revenue
For 2006, we group our revenues as derived from three major categories. The first category, “Controllers”, is primarily made up of stand-alone controllers, which connect digital copiers with computer networks, and embedded desktop controllers, bundled solutions and design-licensed solutions primarily for the office market and commercial printing. This category includes our Fiery, Splash, Edox, and MicroPress color and black and white controller product line and also includes spares, scanning solutions, and field dispatching solutions previously considered a separate miscellaneous category. The second category, “Inkjet Products”, consists of sales of the super-wide format inkjet printers and inks, and parts and services revenue from our VUTEk and Jetrion product lines which were acquired June 2, 2005 and October 31, 2006, respectively. The third category, “Advanced Professional Print Software”, or (APPS), consists of software technology focused on printing workflow, print management information systems, proofing and web submission and job tracking tools.

Overview
Revenue was $564.6 million in 2006, compared to $467.1 million in 2005 and $394.6 million in 2004, which resulted in a 21% increase in 2006 versus 2005 and an 18% increase in 2005 compared to 2004. The $97.5 million increase in 2006 compared to 2005 was primarily due to a $94.7 million increase in inkjet product revenues and a $6.3 million increase in APPS revenues, offset by a $3.5 million decrease in controllers revenues. Inkjet revenue growth is from year-over-year growth of the business and also from the inclusion of a full year’s results for VUTEk in 2006 versus only a partial-year’s results in 2005.
Controller Revenues
In our controller category, the decrease in 2006 versus 2005 of $3.5 million was primarily due to the sale of the MWA business in the second quarter of 2006 which contributed a $4.5 million decline in revenue year over year.
The controller product revenues decreased $15.9 million in 2005 as compared to 2004 due to the timing of product introductions by our OEM’s in the second half of 2005. Our controller product revenues are heavily dependent on when OEM’s introduce and ship their products since our controllers are part of the printing equipment they sell. Though 2005 revenue was lower than 2004, the second half revenues in 2005 actually increased over the second half revenues of 2004.
Inkjet Products Revenues
Inkjet revenues were $180.2 million in 2006 as compared to $85.5 million in 2005. Our 2005 results include seven months of VUTEk revenues since its acquisition in June 2005 and our 2006 results include 2 months of Jetrion revenues and a full year of VUTEk revenues. Inkjet revenues would have increased 26% on a pro forma basis if 2005 revenues included VUTEk pre-acquisition revenues.
Approximately $51.7 million of 2006 inkjet product revenues were generated from ink sales versus $26.1 million in 2005.
Advanced Professional Print Software Revenues
The Advanced Professional Print Software category increased 9% in 2006 over 2005 primarily due to a $6.2 million increase in revenues from packaged software solutions, which are sold with new controllers and to existing customers. Within this category are the products we acquired from Printcafe and Best GmbH as well as
44
Table of Contents
certain software products that were developed by EFI to enhance our controller products, such as our Graphic Arts Package and products to optimize the workflow in print shops such as Oneflow and Balance. The software applications in this category generate higher margins, favorably impacting our margins. We continue to see strong market acceptance of these products and we believe we will experience further incremental growth.
We believe that price reductions for all of our products may affect revenues in the future. We have made and may in the future make price reductions for our products in order to drive demand and remain competitive. Depending upon the price-elasticity of demand for our products, the pricing and quality of competitive products and other economic and competitive conditions, such price reductions may have an adverse impact on our revenues and profits. If we are not able to compensate for lower gross margins that may result from price reductions with an increased volume of sales, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

Revenues from each geographic area represented a roughly equal percentage of total revenues for 2006 versus 2005. Revenue growth in both 2006 and 2005 across all geographic regions was primarily driven by the addition of the VUTEk portion of the Inkjet Products line in June 2005 and to a lesser extent, industrial inkjet products from the acquisition of Jetrion. In the individual regions, Inkjet Product revenues in 2006 represented 30%, 45%, 3% and 38% of revenue in the Americas, Europe, Japan and other international locations, respectively. Overall revenue in the Americas and Europe regions increased in 2006 versus 2005, due to the inclusion of VUTEk for the full year of 2006 versus seven months in 2005, and stronger demand for our Controller product lines in these regions.
Japan region had strong 2006 growth due to strong design license sales to OEM customers. Americas region was negatively impacted by the sale of the Mobile Workforce Automation (“MWA”) product line in the second quarter of 2006.
Shipments to some of our US OEM customers are made to centralized purchasing and manufacturing locations, which in turn sell through to other locations. We believe that non-U.S. sales of our products into each region may differ from what is reported because accurate data is difficult to obtain. We expect that non-U.S. sales will continue to represent a significant portion of our total revenue.
A substantial portion of our revenue over the years has been attributable to sales of products through our OEM customers and independent distributor channels. For the year ended December 31, 2006, two customers—Canon and Xerox—each provided more than 10% of our revenue individually and approximately 34% of revenue in the aggregate. For the year ended December 31, 2005, Canon, Konica-Minolta and Xerox each provided more than 10% of our revenue individually and approximately 48% of revenue in the aggregate. We have shown a continued decrease in our dependency on the OEM business and in the fourth quarter of 2006, 52% of our revenues were from non-OEM sources.
45
Table of Contents
The decreasing trend in OEM dependency is attributable to the addition of the Inkjet Products business where most of the revenue is generated from sales to distributors and direct customers. No assurance can be given that our relationships with distributors and direct customers will continue or that we will be successful in maintaining or increasing the number of our OEM customers or the size of our existing OEM relationships. Several of our OEM customers have reduced their purchases from us at various times in the past and any customer could do so in the future as there are no contractual obligations by most of our OEMs to purchase our products at all, or in significant amounts. Such reductions have occurred in the past and could in the future have a significant negative impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. We expect that if we increase our revenues from VUTEk and our Advance Professional Print Software, the percentage of our revenue that comes from individual OEMs will continue to decrease.
We continue to develop new products and technologies for each of our product lines including new generations of controllers and controller products and other new product lines and to distribute those new products to or through current and new OEM customers, distribution partners, and end-users in 2007 and beyond. No assurance can be given that the introduction or market acceptance of current or future products will be successful.
To the extent sales of our products do not grow over time in absolute terms, or if we are not able to meet demand for higher unit volumes, it could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. There can be no assurance that any products that we introduce in the future will successfully compete, be accepted by the market, or otherwise effectively replace the volume of revenue and/or income from our older products. Market acceptance of our software products, products acquired through acquisitions and other products cannot be assured.
We also believe that in addition to the factors described above, price reductions for all of our products will affect revenues in the future. We have previously reduced and in the future will likely reduce prices for our products. Depending upon the price-elasticity of demand for our products, the pricing and quality of competitive products, and other economic and competitive conditions, such price reductions have had and may in the future have an adverse impact on our revenues and profits.
Gross Margins
Our gross margins were 59%, 62% and 65% for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease in gross margin from 2005 to 2006 was due primarily to the acquisition of VUTEk in 2005 which has lower gross margins than our other categories. Gross margins decreased in 2005 versus 2004 primarily due to the acquisition of VUTEk starting June of 2005. Our inkjet printers have a lower gross margin than our Controllers and Advanced Professional Print Software product lines. Product mix is a significant driver in our gross margins and we cannot predict the impact that product mix will have on future gross margin results.
Gross margins on our inkjet products have a lower gross margin than our traditional controller business. Our ink sales represent a continuing revenue stream to existing customers that will increase if our inkjet customers’ production increases. Ink margins are typically higher than overall inkjet margins. Our inkjet product line is growing as a percentage of revenue which decreases gross margin percentage. For 2006 inkjet revenues were 32% of total revenue as compared to 18% of total revenues in 2005.
If our product mix changes significantly, our gross margins will fluctuate. In addition, gross margins can be impacted by a variety of other factors. These factors include the market prices that can be achieved on our current and future products, the availability and pricing of key components (including DRAM, Processors, print heads and PostScript® interpreter software), third party manufacturing costs, product, channel and geographic mix, the success of our product transitions and new products, competition and general economic conditions in the United States and abroad. Consequently, gross margins may fluctuate from period to period. In addition to the factors affecting revenue described above, if we reduce prices, gross margins for our products could be lower.

Our print controllers are manufactured by third-party manufacturers who purchase most of the necessary components. If our third-party manufacturers cannot obtain the necessary components at favorable prices, we could experience an increase in our product costs. We purchase certain parts directly, including processors, memory, certain ASICs and software licensed from various sources, including PostScript® interpreter software, which we license from Adobe Systems Incorporated.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased by 6% in 2006 over 2005 and increased by 23% in 2005 over 2004. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue totaled 57%, 65%, and 62% for 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of revenue in 2006 versus 2005 was primarily due to a decrease in in-process research and development expense (IPR&D) from $45.3 million in 2005 relating to the VUTEk acquisition to $8.5 million in 2006 relating to the Jetrion acquisition. Excluding the impact of IPR&D, operating expenses increased by $54.0 million mainly due to increases in stock-based compensation of $20.8 million, amortization expense of $9.1 million, VUTEk full year operating expenses in 2006, and increases in research and development and sales and marketing expenses due primarily to higher operating expenses from higher headcount from last year.
Research and Development
Expenses for research and development consist primarily of personnel-related and facility expenses and, to a lesser extent, consulting, depreciation and costs of prototype materials. Research and development expenses were $127.9 million or 23% of revenue in 2006 compared to $110.1 million or 24% of revenue in 2005 and $112.3 million or 28% of revenue in 2004. The increase of $17.8 million in 2006 versus 2005 was primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation of $7.8 million, higher personnel and other related costs due to higher headcount, and higher spending due to Inkjet research and development. Research and development headcount was 885 and 781 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
We believe that the development of new products and the enhancement of existing products are essential to our success and we intend to continue to devote substantial resources to research and new product development efforts. Accordingly, we expect that our research and development expenses may increase in absolute dollars and also as a percentage of revenue in future periods. A reduction in prototype expenses also contributed to the decrease in research and development expenses in 2005 from 2004.
As part of our operational practices, we review all projects on a periodic basis for estimated return on investment. Those projects that do not meet certain criteria may be changed or halted.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses include personnel-related expenses, costs for trade show related expenses, marketing programs and promotional materials, sales commissions, travel and entertainment expenses, depreciation and costs associated with sales offices in the United States, Europe, Japan and other locations around the world. Sales and marketing expenses for 2006 were $99.8 million or 18% of revenue compared to $82.0 million or 18% of revenue in 2005 and $75.0 million or 19% of revenue in 2004.
The $17.8 million increase in expenses in 2006 versus 2005 primarily related to the acquisition of VUTEk, which is included in the full year results for 2006 and for seven months in 2005. VUTEk sells directly to end user customers which results in a higher level of sales expense compared to our OEM customers. VUTEk sales and marketing expenses increased by $14.5 million in 2006 from 2005. The remaining increases consisted of a $3.1 increase in stock-based compensation expense, from $0.2 million in 2005 to $3.2 million in 2006. Sales and marketing headcount was 441 and 399 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
47
Table of Contents
The $7.0 million increase in expenses in 2005 versus 2004 was primarily related to the $14.1 million in VUTEk-related marketing expenses, offset primarily by $4.4 million in employee-related cost reductions due to the reduction in workforce in the first quarter of 2005, and $1.9 million in lower tradeshow expenses. Drupa, a leading print industry exposition in Europe which occurs every four years in Europe, increased trade show expenses in 2004.
We expect that our sales and marketing expenses may increase in absolute dollars and possibly also as a percentage of revenue as we continue to actively promote our products, launch new products and services, and continue to build our sales and marketing organization, particularly in Europe and Asia Pacific, and as we grow our software solutions and other new product lines which require greater sales and marketing support from us. We also expect that if the US dollar remains volatile against the Euro or other currencies, sales and marketing expenses reported in US dollars could fluctuate. Approximately 40% of our sales and marketing expenses are incurred from offices outside the United States.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses and, to a lesser extent, depreciation and facility costs, bad debt, professional fees and other costs associated with public companies. General and administrative expenses were $47.9 million or 8% of revenue in 2006, compared to $35.9 million or 8% of revenue in 2005 and $28.6 million or 7% of revenue in 2004. The $12.0 million increase in 2006 versus 2005 principally consists of an increase of stock-based compensation of $8.3 million from $2.1 million in 2005 to $10.4 million in 2006, and $4.0 million incurred in 2006 for accounting and legal fees relating to our independent investigation into past stock option practices.
The increase in general and administrative expenses in 2005 of $7.2 million as compared to 2004 principally consists of increases in overall expenses related to our June 2005 acquisition of VUTEk of $5 million, rent increases of $1.1 million and increased litigation-related fees.
Real estate related charges
In 2004, we incurred expenses of $14.4 million related to an $11.4 million fair market adjustment on our building at 301 Velocity Way and a $3.0 million write off of capitalized lease and development costs related to our building and land at our Foster City headquarters. The fair market value adjustment was required as part of a valuation completed in 2004 as part of our amended financing arrangement entered into in September 2004 for that building. Under the original lease of $43 million, we guaranteed the lessor an 82% residual value in the building upon the termination of the original lease. The valuation provided a value of approximately $31.7 million for the building, and we paid the lessor $11.4 million and recorded a one-time loss associated with the original lease in September 2004.
Restructuring Charges
During the first quarter of 2005 we incurred severance costs of approximately $2.7 million related to a headcount reduction of 65 employees.
Amortization of Identified Intangibles
Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles was $35.5 million or 6% of revenue in 2006 versus $26.4 or 6% of revenue in 2005. The increase of $9.1 million in 2006 versus 2005 is primarily due to the inclusion of amortization of VUTEk intangible assets for a full year in 2006 versus seven months in 2005. We acquired VUTEk on June 2, 2005.
48
Table of Contents
Acquired In-process Research and Development
At the time of acquisition of each of Jetrion and VUTEk, we expensed acquired in-process research and development of $8.5 million for Jetrion in 2006 and $45.3 million for VUTEk in 2005.
Interest and Other Income, Net
Interest and other income
Interest income was $24.0 million in 2006 and increased by 66% from $14.5 million in 2005. Interest and other income increased $1.7 million in 2005 versus 2004. Both yearly increases reflect rising interest rates and higher invested balances. We had realized losses on our marketable securities of $0.2 million and $0.8 million in 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Interest expense
Interest expense is recognized ratably over the life of our debentures at a rate of 1.5% per annum when we amortize debt issuance costs related to the convertible debentures. Interest expense including debt amortization totaled $5.0 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $5.6 million in 2004.
Gain on Sale of Product Line
During the second quarter of 2006 we sold our inventory and intangible assets related to our MWA line of products. Gross proceeds from the sale were $10.0 million and we recognized a gain of $7.0 million.
In 2004, we recognized approximately $3.0 million from the sale of our Unimobile product line, consisting of a customer base, research and development and sales employees, and intangible assets.
Income Taxes
In 2006, we recorded a tax provision of $41.7 million on a pre-tax operating income of $41.5 million, compared to a tax provision of $0.7 million recorded in 2005 on pre-tax operating loss of $4.5 million and a tax benefit of $14.3 million recorded in 2004 on pre-tax operating income of $21.3 million. In each of these years, we benefited from research and development credits and benefits derived from the extra-territorial income exclusion. In 2005 and 2004, our taxes also decreased due to lower taxes on foreign income. Our taxes increased in 2006 and 2005 due to non-deductible stock compensation charges, and in 2005 and 2004 due to in-process research and development write-offs related to the VUTEk acquisition in 2005 and the ADS acquisition in 2004. As a result of discrete tax adjustments, our taxes in 2006 were reduced by $0.9 million as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations for state income tax purposes and $0.4 million due to a reassessment of tax contingency reserves related to the filing of foreign income tax returns, and were increased by $34.9 million due to the migration of the non-North American and chipset product lines to our European headquarters and $2.9 million related to sales of the MWA assets. As a result of discrete tax adjustments, our taxes for 2005 were reduced by $6.2 million due to a reassessment of tax contingency reserves related to the filing of US and foreign income tax returns and $1.1 million as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations for state income tax purposes.
In the second quarter of 2005, pursuant to the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, we made the decision to repatriate $60.0 million of earnings, which had previously been permanently invested outside the United States, and we recorded a tax charge associated with repatriating these earnings of $3.2 million in the second quarter. Of this $3.2 million tax charge, $2.3 million related to earnings accumulated prior to 2005 and was recorded in the second quarter of 2005. The remaining tax charge of $0.9 million related to 2005 foreign earnings and was reflected in the 2005 effective tax rate beginning in the second quarter. In the fourth quarter, we repatriated $70.0 million of earnings (the $60.0 million decided upon in Q2 plus an additional $10.0 million) to the US, which resulted in an additional tax charge of $0.3 million in the fourth quarter.

Table of Contents
During the third quarter of 2004, we reached a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service for the federal income tax returns filed for the years 1999 through 2001. As a result of the settlement, the third quarter’s tax benefit in 2004 was increased by the reassessment of tax contingency reserves resulting in a favorable adjustment of $18.9 million. This favorable adjustment was related to the profitability of foreign operations in 1999 through 2003 and foreign sales corporation and research and development credit benefits.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, purchase commitments, revenue recognition and contingencies. The estimates are based upon historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time of the estimate, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The following are believed to be our critical accounting policies and estimates:
| • | revenue recognition; |
| • | estimating allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory and litigation accruals; |
| • | accounting for stock-based compensation; |
| • | accounting for income taxes; |
| • | valuation analyses for intangible assets and goodwill; |
| • | business combinations; and |
| • | the determination of functional currencies for the purposes of consolidating our international operations. |
Revenue recognition. We derive our revenue primarily from product revenue, which includes hardware (controllers, design-licensed solutions, and inkjet printers and ink), software and royalties. We also receive services and support revenue from software license maintenance agreements, customer support and training and consulting. As described below, significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in any accounting period. Material differences could result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if our management made different judgments or utilized different estimates.
We recognize revenue in accordance with the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB104”) and, when applicable, Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“EITF 00-21”), for the sale of controllers, printers, and ink. As such, revenue is generally recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered or services have been rendered, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
We use either a purchase order or signed contract as evidence of an arrangement. Sales through some of our OEMs are evidenced by a master agreement governing the relationship together with purchase orders on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Our arrangements do not generally include acceptance clauses. Delivery for hardware generally is complete when title and risk of loss is transferred at point of shipment from manufacturing facilities. In some instances, we also sell products and services in which the terms included in sales arrangements result in different timing for revenue recognition. We assess whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the terms of the contract or purchase order. We assess collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the credit-worthiness of the customer. We may not request collateral
50
Table of Contents
from our customers. If we determine that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, we defer the fee and recognize revenue at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash.
We license our software primarily under perpetual licenses. Revenue from software consists of software licensing, post-contract customer support and professional consulting. We apply the provisions of Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (“SOP 97-2”), as amended by Statement of Position 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Recognition”, with respect to certain transactions, and if applicable, SAB 104 and EITF 00-21 to all transactions involving the sale of software products and hardware transactions where the software is not incidental.
When several elements, including software licenses, post-contract customer support and professional services, are sold to a customer through a single contract, the revenue from such multiple-element arrangements are allocated to each element using the residual method in accordance with SOP 98-9. Revenue is allocated to the support elements and professional service elements of an agreement using vendor specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”) and to the software license portion of the agreements using the residual method. We have established VSOE of the fair value of our professional services based on the rates charged to our customers in stand alone orders. We have also established VSOE of fair value for post-contract customer support based on substantive renewal rates. Accordingly, software license fees are recognized under the residual method for arrangements in which the software is licensed with maintenance and/or professional services, and where the maintenance and professional services are not essential to the functionality of the delivered software. Revenue allocated to software licenses is recognized when the following four basic criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. Revenue allocated to post-contract support is recognized ratably over the term of the support contract, assuming the four basic criteria are met. We also have subscription arrangements where the customer pays a fixed fee and receives services over a period of time. We recognize revenue from the subscriptions ratably over the service period. Any upfront setup fees associated with our subscription arrangements are recognized ratably, generally over one year.
Allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory and litigation accruals. To determine the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts, management must make estimates of the collectibility of our accounts receivables. To do so, management analyzes accounts receivable and historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Our accounts receivable balance was $96.3 million, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns of $7.9 million as of December 31, 2006.
Similarly, management must make estimates of potential future inventory obsolescence and purchase commitments to measure the need for inventory reserves. Management analyzes current economic trends, changes in customer demand and the acceptance of our products when evaluating the adequacy of such allowances. Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with establishing the allowances and reserves in any accounting period. Material differences may result in changes in the amount and timing of our income for any period if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates. Our inventory balance was $35.2 million, net of inventory reserves of $10.8 million, as of December 31, 2006.
We accrue for estimated legal expenses, including potential regulatory fines when the likelihood of the incurrence of the related costs is probable and management has the ability to estimate such costs. Until both of these conditions are met, the related legal expenses are recorded as incurred. The material assumptions we use to estimate the amount of legal expenses include:
| • | the monthly legal expense incurred by our external attorneys on the particular case being evaluated; |
| • | communication between our external attorneys and us on the expected duration of the lawsuit and the estimated expenses during that time; |
| • | our strategy regarding the lawsuit; |
51
Table of Contents
| • | the deductible amounts under the insurance policies; and |
| • | past experiences with similar lawsuits. |
The outcome of any particular lawsuit cannot be predicted, and if the outcome is different than expected, our income could be materially impacted, either positively or negatively.
We have from time to time set up allowances or accruals for uncertainties related to revenues and for potential unfavorable outcomes from disputes with customers or vendors. Management bases its estimates for the allowances or accruals on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances.
Accounting for stock-based compensation. We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”. We must use our judgment in determining and applying the assumptions needed for the valuation of stock options, issuances under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and stock awards. We also are required to apply a forfeiture rate to reflect what we believe will be our final expense related to stock-based compensation. The amounts to be recorded as stock-based compensation expense expected in the future are subject to change if our assumptions for the variables used in determining the fair value of the instruments and the forfeiture rates are revised.
Accounting for income taxes. In preparing our consolidated financial statements we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. We estimate our actual current tax expense and the temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as deferred revenue, for tax and book accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheet. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. If we believe that recovery of these deferred assets is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. To the extent we either establish or increase a valuation allowance in a period, we must include an expense within the tax provision in the statement of operations.
Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. We have maintained a valuation allowance of $5.9 million as of December 31, 2006 for foreign tax credits resulting from the 2003 acquisition of Best and compensation deductions potentially limited by U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). If actual results differ from these estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods, we may need to establish an additional valuation allowance that could materially impact our financial position and results of operations.
Net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2006 were $9.4 million.
Valuation analyses of intangible assets and goodwill. In 2002 we adopted SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS 142). In lieu of amortization, we are required to perform an annual impairment review of our goodwill. We completed our annual review in the third quarter of 2006, based upon June 30, 2006 balances, with no impairment of goodwill indicated as a result of the review. We assess the impairment of identifiable intangibles and long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable or that the life of the asset may need to be revised. Factors we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
| • | significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business; |
| • | significant negative industry or economic trends; |
| • | significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period; and |
| • | our market capitalization relative to net book value. |
52
Table of Contents
When we determine that the carrying value of goodwill, intangibles or long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, we measure any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by our management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in our current business model. Net intangible assets and goodwill totaled $333.0 million as of December 31, 2006. No adjustments to the lives of the other intangible assets have been made since the adoption of SFAS 142.
Business combinations. We allocate the purchase price of acquired companies to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, as well as in-process research and development based on their estimated fair values. We engage independent third-party appraisal firms to assist in determining the fair values of intangible assets acquired. Such a valuation requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets.
Management makes estimates of fair value based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable. These estimates are based on historical experience and information obtained from the management of the acquired companies. Critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets include but are not limited to: future expected cash flows; acquired developed technologies and patents; expected costs to develop the in-process research and development into commercially viable products and estimating cash flows from the projects when completed; the acquired company’s brand awareness and market position, as well as assumptions about the period of time the acquired brand will continue to be used in the combined company’s product portfolio; and discount rates. These estimates are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur which may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or other actual results.
Other estimates associated with the accounting for acquisitions include severance costs and the costs of vacating duplicate facilities. These costs are based upon estimates made by management and are subject to refinement. We estimate the future costs to operate and eventually vacate duplicate facilities. Estimated costs may change as additional information becomes available regarding the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and as management continues its assessment of the pre-merger operations.
Our financial projections may ultimately prove to be inaccurate and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur. Therefore, no assurance can be given that the underlying assumptions used to forecast revenues and costs to develop such projects will transpire as projected.
Determining functional currencies for the purpose of consolidating our international operations. We have a number of foreign subsidiaries which together account for approximately 46% of our net revenues, approximately 22% of our total assets and approximately 64% of our total liabilities as of December 31, 2006. We primarily quote and bill our international customers in United States dollars.
Based on our assessment of the factors discussed below, we consider the United States dollar to be the functional currency for each of our international subsidiaries except for our Japanese subsidiaries, EFI K.K., and Electronics for Imaging Japan YK, for which we consider the Japanese yen to be the subsidiary’s functional currency and our German subsidiary, Electronics for Imaging GmbH, for which we consider the Euro to be the subsidiary’s functional currency.
In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to translate the financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries from the currency in which they keep their accounting records, generally the local currency, into United States dollars. This process results in exchange gains and losses which, when the transactions are not denominated in the functional currency, are included within the statement of operations or, if the transactions are denominated in the functional currency, are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity under the caption “Accumulated other comprehensive income.”
53
Table of Contents
Under the relevant accounting guidance the treatment of these translation gains or losses is dependent upon our management’s determination of the functional currency of each subsidiary. The functional currency is determined based on management judgment and involves consideration of all relevant economic facts and circumstances affecting the subsidiary. Generally, the currency in which the subsidiary transacts a majority of its transactions, including billings, financing, payroll and other expenditures would be considered the functional currency but any dependency upon the parent company and the nature of the subsidiary’s operations must also be considered. If any subsidiary’s functional currency is deemed to be the local currency, then any gain or loss associated with the translation of that subsidiary’s financial statements is included in stockholders’ equity. However, if the functional currency is deemed to be the United States dollar then any gain or loss associated with the translation of the subsidiary’s financial statements would be included within our consolidated statement of operations. If we dispose of any of our subsidiaries, any cumulative translation gains or losses would be realized in our consolidated statement of operations. If we determine that there has been a change in the functional currency of a subsidiary to the United States dollar, any translation gains or losses arising after the date of change would be included within our consolidated statement of operations.

Overview
Cash and cash equivalents and short term investments increased $40.6 million to $510.2 million as of December 31, 2006 from $469.6 million as of December 31, 2005. The increase is primarily due to cash generated by operations of $66.9 million and cash received from employees for purchases of common stock under our ESPP and through exercise of employee stock options totaling $42.3 million offset by the acquisition of treasury shares of $33.9 million and the October 2006 purchase of Jetrion for $41.4 million in cash.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities in 2006, 2005 and 2004 of $66.9 million, $62.9 million and $ 59.7 million, respectively, was primarily the result of net income (loss) adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, acquired in-process research and development, deferred income taxes, stock compensation and changes in various assets and liabilities such as accounts payable, accounts receivable and other current assets.
Our historical and primary source of operating cash flow is the collection of accounts receivable from our customers and the timing of payments to our vendors and service providers. One measure of the effectiveness of our collection efforts is average days sales outstanding (“DSO”) for accounts receivable. DSOs were 58 days, 43
54

days, and 46 days at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 respectively. We calculate accounts receivable DSO by dividing the net accounts receivable balance at the end of the quarter by the amount of revenue recognized for the quarter multiplied by the total days in the quarter. We expect DSOs to vary from period to period because of changes in quarterly mix of business between our direct and OEM customers, and the effectiveness of our collection efforts. Our accounts receivable DSO trended upward in 2006 reflecting the longer invoice terms offered with our Inkjet and APPS products, which represented a higher portion of our sales in those years. DSO may trend upwards in future quarters as a greater portion of our revenues will come from direct sales of printers and software which traditionally carry longer terms.
Our operating cash flows are impacted by the timing of payments to our vendors for accounts payable and by our accrual of liabilities. In 2006, the change in accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased our cash flows by approximately $7.9 million compared to a decrease in cash flows in 2005 of $4.8 million. In 2006, the change in income taxes payable increased our cash flows by $3.9 million compared to a decrease in cash flows in 2005 of $11.2 million.
Our working capital, defined as current assets minus current liabilities, was $261.8 million and $459.1 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The cause of the decrease in working capital of approximately $197.3 million is principally related to our acquisition of Jetrion of $41.4 million and the classification of $240.0 million in convertible debt obligations as short-term liabilities. These reductions in working capital were offset in part by cash provided from operations.
We expect to meet our obligations as they become due through available cash and internally generated funds. We expect to generate positive working capital through our operations. However, we cannot predict whether current trends and conditions will continue, or the effect on our business from the competitive environment in which we operate. We believe the working capital available to us will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Acquisitions
Below is a summary of our acquisitions for the last three fiscal years:
Jetrion: On October 31, 2006, we purchased Jetrion LLC for approximately $41.4 million in cash. Jetrion sells its Industrial inkjet printers and inks to label printing companies.
VUTEk: On June 2, 2005, we acquired VUTEk for $281.8 million, net of cash received of $7.4 million. VUTEk’s super-wide digital inkjet printers and Solvent and UV inks allows us to offer print shops a diversified product portfolio and the ability to better integrate our products.
ADS Technology: On February 19, 2004, we purchased ADS for $11.6 million, net of cash received of $0.3 million. We purchased ADS Technology to enhance our software offerings to the copier dealer channels. In the second quarter of 2006, we sold WMA (formerly named ADS Technology) for $10.0 million.
We may buy or invest in complementary companies, products and technologies within the print industry. Our available cash and equity may be used to acquire or invest in companies or products, possibly resulting in significant acquisition-related charges to earnings and dilution to our stockholders.
Property and Equipment
Our net equipment purchases totaled $9.3 million, $5.6 million, and $2.3 million in 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. Our property and equipment additions have been funded from operations.
We anticipate that we will continue to purchase property and equipment necessary in the normal course of our business. The amount and timing of these purchases and the related cash outflows in future periods is difficult to predict and is dependent on a number of factors including our hiring of employees, the rate of change in computer hardware/software used in our business, our business outlook, and decisions to invest or expand business sites.
Investments
We made net purchases of marketable securities in 2006 of $52.0 million. In 2005, we received net proceeds from our marketable securities of $215.9 million, reflecting the liquidation of marketable securities for the purchase of VUTEk. In 2004, we received net proceeds of $39.4 million resulting from the liquidation of marketable securities to fund the collateral accounts for our synthetic leases. We have classified our investment portfolio as “available for sale,” and our investments are made with a policy of capital preservation and liquidity as the primary objectives. We generally hold investments in corporate bonds and U. S. government agency securities to maturity; however, we may sell an investment at any time if the quality rating of the investment declines, the yield on the investment is no longer attractive or we are in need of cash. Because we invest only in investment securities that are highly liquid with a ready market, we believe that the purchase, maturity or sale of our investments has no material impact on our overall liquidity.
Restricted Investments
We have restricted investments classified as non-current assets in connection with the synthetic leases for our Foster City offices. We are required to maintain cash in LIBOR-based interest-bearing accounts which fully collateralized our synthetic lease. We now have $88.6 million in collateral accounted for as restricted investments. For further information on these transactions, see the discussion at “Off Balance Sheet Financing.”
Financing Activities
Historically, our recurring cash flows provided by financing activities have been from the receipt of cash from the issuance of common stock from the exercise of stock options and employee stock purchase plans. We
56
Table of Contents
received cash proceeds from these plans in the amount of $42.3 million, $34.7 million and $26.9 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The lower proceeds in 2004 are reflective of our lower stock price during that period. If our stock price rises, more employees’ options are “in the money”, and the employees are more likely to exercise their options, generating cash proceeds to the Company. If our stock price decreases, more of our employees’ options are “out of the money” or “under water”, and therefore, the employees will be unlikely to exercise options, which results in no cash received by us. While we expect to continue to receive these proceeds in future periods, the timing and amount of such proceeds are difficult to predict and is contingent on a number of factors including the price of our common stock, the number of employees participating in the plans and general market conditions. Under FAS 123(R) we are required to expense the fair market value of stock-based compensation. We have decided to change and will continue to assess the term, number and types of equity awards we issue. This may result in less cash received from issuance of equity awards in the future.
The primary use of funds for financing activities in 2006 and 2004 was the use of $33.9 million and $55.6 million, respectively, of cash to repurchase outstanding shares of our common stock. No shares were repurchased during 2005. See Item 5—Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities for further discussion of our programs to repurchase our common stock.
The synthetic lease agreements for our corporate headquarters provide for residual value guarantees. Under FIN 45, the fair value of a residual value guarantee in lease agreements entered into after December 31, 2002, must be recognized as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet. We have determined that the guarantees have no material value as of December 31, 2006 and therefore have not recorded any liability.
Other Commitments
Our inventory consists primarily of inkjet products and finished goods, memory subsystems, processors and ASICs for our controller line of products, which are sold to third-party contract manufacturers responsible for manufacturing our products and inkjet printheads, frames and other components related to our manufacturer of inkjet printers. Should we decide to purchase components and do our own manufacturing of controllers, or should it become necessary for us to purchase and sell components other than the processors, ASICs or memory subsystems for our contract manufacturers, inventory balances and potentially property and equipment would increase significantly, thereby reducing our available cash resources. Further, the inventory we carry could become obsolete, thereby negatively impacting our financial condition and results of operations. We are also reliant on several sole-source suppliers for certain key components and could experience a further significant negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations if such supply were reduced or not available. Should our volumes increase materially on our inkjet printers, our purchases of inkjet printheads, frames and other components will also increase correspondingly.
We may be required to compensate our sub-contract manufacturers for components purchased for orders subsequently cancelled by us. We periodically review the potential liability and the adequacy of the related allowance. Our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively impacted if we were required to compensate the sub-contract manufacturers in amounts in excess of the accrued liability.
Legal Proceedings
In addition to the matters discussed under Item 3, Legal Proceedings, we are involved from time to time in litigation relating to claims arising in the normal course of our business.

Contractual Obligations
The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations at December 31, 2006 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

| (3) | Total does not include contractual obligations recorded on the balance sheet as current liabilities, or certain purchase obligations as discussed below. |
Purchase orders or contracts for the purchase of raw materials and other goods and services are not included in the table above. We are not able to determine the aggregate amount of such purchase orders that represent contractual obligations, as purchase orders may represent authorizations to purchase rather than binding agreements. For the purposes of this table, contractual obligations for purchase of goods or services are defined as agreements that are enforceable and legally binding on EFI and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Our purchase orders are based on our current manufacturing needs and are fulfilled by our vendors within short time horizons. We do not have significant agreements for the purchase of raw materials or other goods specifying minimum quantities or set prices that exceed our expected requirements for three months. We also enter into contracts for outsourced services; however the obligations under these contracts were not significant and the contracts generally contain clauses allowing for cancellation without significant penalty.
The expected timing of payment of the obligations discussed above is estimated based on current information. Timing of payments and actual amounts paid may be different depending on the time of receipt of goods or services or changes to agreed-upon amounts for some obligations.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing
All amounts in this section are presented (in thousands, except for per share amounts).
Synthetic Lease Arrangements
We are a party to two synthetic leases (the “301 Lease” and the “303 Lease”, together “Leases”) covering our Foster City facilities located at 301 and 303 Velocity Way, Foster City, California. These leases provide a cost effective means of providing adequate office space for our corporate offices. Both Leases expire in July 2014. We may, at our option, purchase the facilities during or at the end of the term of the leases for the amount expended by the lessor to purchase the facilities ($56.9 million for the 303 Lease and $31.7 million for the 301 Lease). We have guaranteed to the lessor a residual value associated with the buildings equal to 82% of their funding of the respective Leases. Under the financial covenants, we must maintain a minimum net worth and a minimum tangible net worth as of the end of each quarter. There is an additional covenant regarding mergers. We
58
Table of Contents
were in compliance with all such financial and merger related covenants as of December 31, 2006. We are liable to the lessor for the financed amount of the buildings if we default on our covenants. We obtained limited and conditional waivers from the lessor regarding any event of default that should occur solely as a result of an event of default on other indebtedness caused by our failure to comply with covenants relating to the filing and delivery of our periodic reports.
We have assessed our exposure in relation to the first loss guarantees under the Leases and believe that there is no deficiency to the guaranteed value at December 31, 2006. If there is a decline in value, we will record a loss associated with the residual value guarantee. The funds pledged under the Leases ($56.9 million for the 303 Lease and $31.7 million for the 301 Lease at December 31, 2006 for a total of $88.6 million) are in LIBOR-based interest bearing accounts and are restricted as to withdrawal at all times.
In conjunction with the Leases, we leased the land on which the buildings are located to the lessor of the buildings. These separate ground leases are for approximately 30 years.
We are treated as the owner of these buildings for federal income tax purposes.
Effective July 1, 2003, we applied the accounting and disclosure rules set forth in Interpretation No. 46 Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as revised (“FIN 46R”) for variable interest entities (“VIEs”). We have evaluated our synthetic lease agreements to determine if the arrangements qualify as variable interest entities under FIN 46R. We have determined that the synthetic lease agreements do qualify as VIEs; however, because we are not the primary beneficiary under FIN 46R we are not required to consolidate the VIEs in our financial statements.
Item 7A: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
All amounts in this section are presented in thousands, except for per share amounts.
Market Risk
We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange and interest rates. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We may enter into financial instrument contracts to manage and reduce the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The counterparties to such contracts are major financial institutions.
Interest Rate Risk
Marketable Securities
We maintain an investment portfolio of short-term investments of various holdings, types and maturities. These short-term investments are generally classified as available-for-sale and consequently, are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). At any time, a sharp rise in interest rates could have a material adverse impact on the fair value of our investment portfolio. Conversely, declines in interest rates could have a material impact on interest earnings for our portfolio. We do not currently hedge these interest rate exposures.
The following table presents the hypothetical change in fair values in the financial instruments held by us at December 31, 2006 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The modeling technique used measures the change in fair values arising from selected potential changes in interest rates. Market changes reflect immediate hypothetical parallel shifts in the yield curve of plus or minus 100 basis points (BPS) over a twelve-month time horizon.

| $ | 358,861 | $ | 353,608 | $ | 350,456 | ||
Convertible Debentures
The fair value of our convertible debt was estimated to be $264.6 million as of December 31, 2006 and the carrying value was $240.0 million. The fair market value of our convertible senior debentures was estimated based upon quoted market prices.
Derivatives
We do not use any derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
Financial Risk Management
The following discussion about our risk management activities includes “forward-looking statements” that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
As a global concern, we face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material adverse impact on our financial results. Our primary exposures are related to non-U.S. dollar-denominated sales in Japan and Europe and operating expenses in Germany, India, Japan and the Netherlands. At the present time, we do not hedge against these currency exposures, but as these exposures grow we may consider hedging against currency movements.
We maintain investment portfolio holdings of various issuers, types and maturities, typically U.S. Treasury and Agencies securities, corporate debt instruments, and asset-backed instruments. These short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and consequently are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). These securities are not leveraged and are held for purposes other than trading.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Electronics For Imaging, Inc.:
We have completed integrated audits of Electronics For Imaging, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements and of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based on our audits, are presented below.
Consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Electronics For Imaging, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements 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 of financial statements includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its 2005 and 2004 consolidated financial statements.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for stock-based compensation in 2006.
Internal control over financial reporting
Also, in our opinion, management’s assessment, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A, that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 based on criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on those criteria. Furthermore, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the 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 opinions on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting 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. An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes 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 consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
62
Table of Contents
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 (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) 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 (iii) 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.

Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EFI and our subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, purchase commitments, revenue recognition and contingencies on an on-going basis. The estimates are based upon historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time of the estimate, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments
We invest our excess cash in deposits with major banks; money market securities; and municipal, U.S. government and corporate debt securities. By policy, EFI invests primarily in high-grade marketable securities. We are exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions or issuers of these investments to the extent of amounts recorded on the consolidated balance sheet.
EFI considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Typically, the cost of these investments has approximated fair value. Marketable investments with a maturity greater than 3 months are classified as available-for-sale short-term investments. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair market value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, adjusted for deferred income taxes. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are recognized upon sale of the investments using the specific identification method.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Sales-related Allowances
We analyze accounts receivable and historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, we specifically reserve for any accounts receivable for which there
68

Electronics For Imaging, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
are identified collection issues. Balances are charged off when we deem it probable the receivable will not be recovered. We also make provisions for sales rebates and revenue adjustments based upon analysis of current sales programs and revenues.
Concentration of Risk
EFI is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by any of our customers to the extent of amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheet. We perform ongoing evaluations of the collectibility of the accounts receivable balances for our customers and maintain allowances for estimated credit losses; actual losses have not historically been significant, but have risen over the past several years as our customer base has grown through acquisitions.
Our controller products, which constitute approximately 54% of our revenues, are primarily sold to a limited number of OEMs. We expect that we will continue to depend on a relatively small number of OEM customers for a significant portion of our revenues, although the significance of that revenue is expected to decline in future periods due to increased sales of new OEM product.
We are reliant on certain sole source suppliers for key components of our products. We conduct our business with our component suppliers solely on a purchase order basis. Any disruption in the supply of the key components would result in us being unable to manufacture our products.
Most of our current controllers include software that we must license from Adobe Systems, Inc. (“Adobe”). In order to obtain licenses from Adobe, Adobe requires that we obtain from them quality assurance approvals for our products that use Adobe software. Although to date we have successfully obtained such quality assurances from Adobe, we cannot be certain Adobe will grant us such approvals in the future. If Adobe does not grant us such licenses or approvals, if the Adobe licenses are terminated, or if our relationship with Adobe is otherwise materially impaired, we would likely be unable to produce products that incorporate Adobe PostScript® software.
EFI subcontracts with other companies to manufacture our controllers. We rely on the ability of our sub-contractors to produce the products sold to our customers. A high concentration of EFI’s products is manufactured at one sub-contractor location. If the sub-contractor was to lose production capabilities at this facility, we would experience delays in delivering product to our customers. We do not maintain long-term agreements with our sub-contractors which could lead to an inability of such sub-contractor to fill our orders.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at standard cost, which approximates the lower of actual cost using a first-in, first-out method, or market. We periodically review our inventories for potential slow-moving or obsolete items and write down specific items to net realizable value as appropriate. Work-in-process inventories consist of EFI’s product at various levels of assembly and include materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. Finished goods inventory represents completed products awaiting shipment.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation on assets is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated life for desktop and laptop computers is 18 to 24 months. Furniture has an estimated life of 5 to 7 years, software is amortized over 3 to 5 years and buildings have an estimated life of 40 years. All other assets are typically considered to have a 3- to 5-year life. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the improvements
69

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
or the lease term, if shorter. Land improvements, such as parking lots and sidewalks, are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
When assets are disposed, we remove the asset and accumulated depreciation from our records and recognize the related gain or loss in results of operations. The cost and related accumulated depreciation applicable to property and equipment sold or no longer in service are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations.
Depreciation expense was $8.0 million, $7.8 million and $8.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Repairs and maintenance expenditures which are not considered improvements and do not extend the useful life of property and equipment are expensed as incurred.
Internal Use Software
We follow the guidance in Statement of Position 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. Software development costs, including costs incurred to purchase third party software, are capitalized beginning when we have determined that certain factors are present, including among others, that technology exists to achieve the performance requirements. The accumulation of software costs to be capitalized ceases when the software is substantially developed and is ready for its intended use. It is amortized over an estimated useful life of three years using the straight-line method.
Long-lived Assets, including Goodwill
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. We measure the assets for impairment based upon the estimated future undiscounted cash flows from the asset.
The provisions of SFAS 142 require periodic testing of goodwill for impairment. The annual impairment test performed in the third quarter of 2006 did not require us to recognize any impairment charge against goodwill.
Amortization of Purchased Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired to date are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 3 to 30 years. No changes have been made to the useful lives of amortizable identifiable intangible assets in 2006.
Aggregate amortization expense was $35.5 million, $26.4 million and $13.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Other Investments
Other investments consist of equity investments in privately-held companies that develop products, markets and services that are strategic to us. Investments in which we exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies but do not have a majority voting interest are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. As our investments in privately-held companies do not permit us to exert significant influence or control over the entity in which we are investing, the recorded amounts generally represent our cost of the investment less any adjustments we make when we determine that an investment’s carrying value is other-than-temporarily impaired.
70
Table of Contents
Electronics For Imaging, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
The process of assessing whether a particular equity investment’s fair value is less than its carrying cost requires a significant amount of judgment due to the lack of a mature and stable public market for these securities. In making this judgment, we carefully consider the investee’s most recent financial results, cash position, recent cash flow data, projected cash flows (both short and long-term), financing needs, recent financing rounds, most recent valuation data, the current investing environment, management or ownership changes, and competition. This process is based primarily on information that we request and receive from these privately-held companies, and is performed on a quarterly basis. Although we evaluate all of our privately-held equity investments for impairment based on the criteria established above, each investment’s fair value is only estimated when events or changes in circumstances have occurred that may have a significant effect on its fair value (because the fair value of each investment is not readily determinable). Where these factors indicate that the equity investment’s fair value is less than its carrying cost, and where we consider such diminution in value to be other than temporary, we record an impairment charge to reduce such equity investment to its estimated net realizable value.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, including cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximate their respective fair market values due to the short maturities of these financial instruments. The fair market value of our convertible debt issued in June 2003 was $264.6 million and $265.2 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, based upon the quoted market price. The fair value of our available-for-sale securities is disclosed in Note 7, “Short-term Investments”.
Warranty
Our products are generally accompanied by a 12-month warranty, which covers both parts and labor. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (“SFAS 5”), an accrual is made when it is estimable and probable based upon historical experience. A provision for estimated future warranty work is recorded in cost of goods sold upon recognition of revenue and the resulting accrual is reviewed regularly and periodically adjusted to reflect changes in warranty work estimates.
Research and Development
We expense costs associated with the research and development of new software products as incurred until technological feasibility is established. Research and development costs include salaries and benefits of researchers, supplies and other expenses incurred with research and development efforts. To date we have not capitalized research and development costs associated with software development as products and enhancements have generally reached technological feasibility and have been released for sale at substantially the same time.
Revenue Recognition
We derive our revenue primarily from product revenue, which includes hardware (controllers, design-licensed solutions, and inkjet printers and ink), software and royalties. We also receive services and support revenue from software license maintenance agreements, customer support and training and consulting. As described below, significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in any accounting period. Material differences could result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if our management made different judgments or utilized different estimates.
We recognize revenue in accordance with the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB104”) and, when applicable, Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“EITF 00-21”), for the sale of controllers, printers, and ink. As such, revenue is generally recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered or
71
Table of Contents
Electronics For Imaging, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
services have been rendered, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
We use either a purchase order or signed contract as evidence of an arrangement. Sales through some of our OEMs are evidenced by a master agreement governing the relationship together with purchase orders on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Our arrangements do not generally include acceptance clauses. Delivery for hardware generally occurs when product is delivered to the customer’s common carrier. In some instances, we also sell products and services in which the terms included in sales arrangements result in different timing for revenue recognition. Title and risk of loss is transferred at the customer’s destination and revenue is recognized when the product(s) arrives at the customer site. We assess whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the terms of the contract or purchase order. We assess collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the credit-worthiness of the customer. We may not request collateral from our customers. If we determine that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, we defer the fee and recognize revenue at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash.
We license our software primarily under perpetual licenses. Revenue from software consists of software licensing, post-contract customer support and professional consulting. We apply the provisions of Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (“SOP 97-2”), as amended by Statement of Position 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Recognition”, with respect to certain transactions, and if applicable, SAB 104 and EITF 00-21 to all transactions involving the sale of software products and hardware transactions where the software is not incidental.
When several elements, including software licenses, post-contract customer support and professional services, are sold to a customer through a single contract, the revenue from such multiple-element arrangements are allocated to each element using the residual method in accordance with SOP 98-9. Revenue is allocated to the support elements and professional service elements of an agreement using vendor specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”) and to the software license portion of the agreements using the residual method. We have established VSOE of the fair value of our professional services based on the rates charged to our customers in stand alone orders. We have also established VSOE of fair value for post-contract customer support based on substantive renewal rates. Accordingly, software license fees are recognized under the residual method for arrangements in which the software is licensed with maintenance and/or professional services, and where the maintenance and professional services are not essential to the functionality of the delivered software. Revenue allocated to software licenses is recognized when the following four basic criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. Revenue allocated to post-contract support is recognized ratably over the term of the support contract (typically one to two years), assuming the four basic criteria are met. We also have subscription arrangements where the customer pays a fixed fee and receives services over a period of time. We recognize revenue from the subscriptions ratably over the service period. Any upfront setup fees associated with our subscription arrangements are recognized ratably, generally over one year.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising and promotional expenses were $4.4 million for 2006, $4.5 million for 2005 and $2.6 million for 2004.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (“SFAS 109”), “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under SFAS 109, deferred tax liabilities and assets are
72
Table of Contents
Electronics For Imaging, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Business Combinations
We apply the provisions of SFAS 141, Business Combinations, when accounting for our acquisitions. EFI allocates the purchase price of acquired companies to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, as well as in-process research and development based on their estimated fair values. We engage independent third-party appraisal firms to assist in determining the fair values of intangible assets acquired on all material acquisitions. All acquisitions are included in our financial statements from the date of acquisition.
Employee Stock-Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payment (Revised 2004)” (“SFAS 123(R)”), using the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense in fiscal 2006 includes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123. Stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). We recognize these compensation costs using a graded-vesting method over the requisite service period. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised on a cumulative basis, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We use historical data and future expectations of employee turnover to estimate forfeitures. As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R), income before income taxes and net income as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 were lower by $14.3 million and $9.7 million, respectively, than if we had continued to account for stock-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”). Basic and diluted earnings per share for 2006 would have been higher by $0.17 and $0.14, respectively, if we had not adopted SFAS 123(R).
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we presented the tax benefit related to stock plans as operating cash flows. Upon the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the tax benefit resulting from tax deductions in excess of the tax benefit related to compensation cost recognized for those awards are classified as financing cash flows.
On November 10, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 123(R)-3 “Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards.” We have elected to adopt the alternative transition method provided in the FASB Staff Position for calculating the tax effects of share-based compensation pursuant to SFAS 123(R). The alternative transition method included a simplified method to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation, which is available to absorb tax deficiencies recognized subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 123(R). This method resulted in an additional paid-in capital pool of zero as part of our adoption of SFAS 123(R).
Periods prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R)
Prior to January 1, 2006 we accounted for equity awards and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25 and related interpretations. Under the intrinsic value method, no stock-based compensation expense had been recognized in our Consolidated Statement of Operations if the exercise price of our equity awards granted to employees and directors equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant and shares granted under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan were not issued

at greater than a 15% discount. As a result of our stock option investigation, it was determined that the measurement dates for certain options were incorrectly determined and, as such, options were issued below fair market value. The accounting disclosures and related charges are reflected in Note 2, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements”. Additionally, the actual stock-based compensation expense, as well as the pro forma fair value expense in the table below, has been revised for the correction of the measurement dates.

Computation of Net (Loss) Income per Common Share
Net (loss) income per basic common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period excluding unvested restricted stock. Net income (loss) per diluted common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding common stock options having a dilutive effect using the treasury stock method, from unvested shares of restricted stock using the treasury stock method and from the potential conversion of our senior convertible 1.50% debentures. In addition, in computing the dilutive effect of the convertible securities, the numerator is adjusted to add back the after-tax amount of interest and amortized debt-issuance costs recognized in the period associated with our convertible debt. Any potential shares that are anti-dilutive, as defined in SFAS 128, are excluded from the effect of dilutive securities.
The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three years ended December 31, 2006:

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Risk Management
SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended, requires companies to reflect the fair value of all derivative instruments, including those embedded in other contracts, as assets or liabilities in an entity’s balance sheet. We have two embedded derivatives related to the 1.50% Senior Convertible Debentures as of December 31, 2006, the fair values of which were insignificant. We had no other derivatives as of December 31, 2006.
Variable Interest Entities
FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as amended (“FIN 46R”) requires that we consolidate any variable interest entities, or VIE, in which we are the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is generally defined as having the majority of the risks and rewards arising from the VIE. We have evaluated and will continue to assess our synthetic lease arrangements and other entities that we have a relationship with that may be deemed a VIE.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by requiring a tax position be recognized only when it is more likely than not that the tax position, based on its technical merits, will be sustained upon ultimate settlement with the applicable tax authority. The tax benefit to be recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the applicable tax authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. FIN 48 is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2006, and we are required to adopt FIN 48 in the first quarter of 2007. Upon adoption of FIN 48, we will record a cumulative effect adjustment of approximately $4.8 million to increase opening retained earnings in the first quarter of 2007.
In September 2006, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Qualifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on the SEC’s views on how the effects of the carryover of reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. We adopted SAB 108 during 2006. The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). This statement establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The provisions of SFAS 157

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
should be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which SFAS 157 is initially applied, except in limited circumstances. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157 on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 157. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 159 on our consolidated financial statements.

Special Committee Investigation of Historical Stock Option Practices
In May 2006, Citigroup published a number of reports, one of which identified us as having well-timed option grants among seven companies in our sector, and therefore, as being at risk for greater scrutiny of our option granting practices. The report identified certain stock options granted to executive officers of the Company on selected dates during the years 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2001.
On August 16, 2006, the first of several shareholder derivative suits was filed, alleging that certain of our current and former officers and directors breached their fiduciary duty in connection with the administration and accounting associated with stock option grants to officers.
On October 20, 2006, our management reviewed information compiled by our litigation counsel, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich and Rosati (“WSGR”) and discussed the matter with the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors’ Special Committee, consisting of directors selected to carry out an independent investigation of our historical stock option granting practices, retained independent counsel and forensic accounting advisors to assist with their investigation.

Completion of Special Committee Investigation of Historical Stock Option Practices
On June 25, 2007, the Special Committee, with its independent counsel and forensic accountants, reported their completion of the investigation to Company’s management and the Board of Directors.
The Special Committee investigation focused on our historical stock option granting practices from the Company’s initial public offering on October 2, 1992 through 2006. In particular, they reviewed in detail 22 unique company-wide grant dates and developed observations related to each of the grants on those specific dates. Based on its investigation, the Special Committee concluded, among other things, that we lacked contemporaneous evidence supporting a number of the recorded option grant dates. The affected grants included grants to (1) newly-hired employees, (2) employees joining EFI in connection with one or more acquisitions, and (3) existing employees, officers and directors.
The Special Committee found that grants to newly-hired employees, dated April 1994 through October 2003, were typically priced with an effective date coinciding with a low stock price for a given period. The Special Committee found that a substantial number of the grants to existing officers, directors and employees were priced on dates coinciding with our low stock price for the month, and, in some instances, the quarter. Information collected during the investigation suggests that, prior to 2004, many such option grants were priced with the benefit of a “look back” at historical stock prices, with such “look backs” ranging up to several weeks.
Management’s Review of the Investigative Forensic Evidence provided by the Special Committee
The Special Committee provided to management forensic evidence collected during the investigation in order for us to reassess the original measurement dates selected for accounting purposes. To review the forensic evidence, a systematic approach was developed for evaluating the historical measurement dates for new hire grants (including grants to new hires related to acquisitions) and company-wide (“broad-based”) grants to existing employees, officers, and directors and for determining the revised measurement date, if a revision was warranted. On grant dates where we lacked strong contemporaneous evidence supporting the original grant date; our approach was subject to judgment and in some cases multiple reasonable assumptions were considered and multiple measurement dates could have been supported by the documents available to management.
We have determined there were 756 unique grant dates that required review as a result of the observations by the Special Committee. Those unique grant dates can be classified as 718 grant dates for newly hired employees (including new hires related to acquisitions) and 38 broad-based grant dates.
Based on the results of this review, we concluded that the original measurement date used for accounting purposes required revision in a number of cases. This created a non-cash intrinsic value equaling the difference between the exercise price (fair market value of our stock on the original measurement date) and the fair market value of our stock on the revised measurement date.

The table below illustrates the total gross non-cash intrinsic value in each year for which a revised measurement date was required (amortization of the intrinsic value is not reflected in the table); these amounts are higher than the amounts ultimately recorded as compensation expense in the financial statements because they do not reflect reductions due to the accounting for forfeitures, cancellations, and income tax effects.

The original new hire measurement dates were evaluated based on the employee hire date and the specific “look back” period convention used to determine the original exercise price. The revised measurement date was determined, with judgment by us, to be the last day of the “look back” period since it appeared from the available evidence that the number of shares and exercise price were both known on that date. Beginning in October 2003, we modified our procedures to no longer use a “look back” period convention to determine the exercise price for new hire stock option grants and, as such, there were no material adjustments to the original measurement dates for new hires after that date.
The revised measurement dates for new hire grants resulted in approximately $13.4 million of incremental gross non-cash intrinsic value (before accounting for forfeitures, cancellations and the related income tax effects); all of which relates to measurement date revisions originating in periods prior to January 2004.
Broad-based grants to employees, directors, and officers were evaluated using all available evidence to systematically evaluate the appropriateness of previously determined measurement dates. We then applied judgment in determining whether the measurement dates of any of the unique grant dates under review required revision. The revised measurement dates for broad-based grants resulted in approximately $140.6 million of incremental gross non-cash intrinsic value (before accounting for forfeitures and related tax effects); this entire amount relates to measurement date revisions originating in periods prior to January 2004.
We applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and its related interpretations beginning in 1989 through our fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and provided the required pro forma disclosures under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” beginning in 1996 through our fiscal year ended

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
December 31, 2005. Under APB 25 (intrinsic value model), non-cash stock-based compensation expense (“non-cash intrinsic value”) was required to be recognized for any option in which the exercise price was below the market price of our stock on the measurement date. If, after our review and the revision of certain measurement dates, our stock options had an exercise price below the market price of our stock on the revised measurement date, we have recognized in the financial statements stock-based compensation expense for the options under APB 25 equal to the number of option shares, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price and the market price of our stock on the revised measurement date. That expense has been recognized over the vesting periods of the options on a straight-line basis. If a stock option was forfeited prior to vesting, the compensation expense recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in prior periods was reversed, as was any remaining unamortized unearned stock-based compensation associated with the forfeited stock options.
Prior to 2006, modifications were accounted for under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 44 (“FIN 44”) “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation”, which required that an award be re-measured at the modification date and to record any incremental increase in intrinsic value as a compensation charge. For modifications made in conjunction with employment terminations, the compensation charge was recognized immediately since the shares were fully vested and no additional services were required.
We evaluated modifications in relation to the original grant terms and changes to employee status to determine if modifications had been accounted for appropriately in our consolidated statement of operations and, determined that incremental gross compensation charges of $37.4 million (before income tax effects) should be recorded related to modifications in or prior to 2001. In the past, we elected to modify the terms of stock option awards to certain employees, including officers, in a manner that provided the employee with a greater benefit than in the original award. These modifications occurred on termination of employment to allow for additional vesting and/or an extension beyond our plan’s standard exercise period three (3) months after termination. Of these charges, $30.6 million involved a separation agreement executed in 2000 between us and our former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors. Another $3.0 million involved a separation agreement in 1998 with a former vice president. These two officer modifications accounted for $33.6 million, or approximately 89% of the total modifications.
Summary of Adjustments for Stock-Based Compensation
While the table above illustrates the gross intrinsic value before forfeitures, cancellations and related income tax effects, the table below illustrates the stock-based compensation expense impact to the consolidated statement of operations and the associated income tax provision (benefit) in the periods in which they were recorded. We used a straight-line method to amortize the gross intrinsic value over the vesting period and accounted for forfeitures and cancellations in the period they occurred. In the aggregate, we recorded additional stock-based compensation expense for the period 1992 through 2005 of approximately $151.7 million with associated income tax benefits of $53.0 million for a net expense of $98.7 million related to stock-based compensation.

We have also restated the pro forma fair value expense under the SFAS 123 pro forma disclosure in Note 1 “The Company and Its Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements to reflect the impact of measurement date and modification revisions for the years ending December 31, 2005 and 2004.
We also considered the application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code to certain stock option grants where, under APB No. 25, intrinsic value existed at the time of grant. Holders of options with revised measurement dates granted by us may be subject to adverse tax consequences, including a penalty tax under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and, as applicable, similar penalty taxes under California and other state tax laws. On July 2, 2007, we paid $0.56 million under Internal Revenue Service and California compliance programs on behalf of certain option holders who had already exercised affected options during 2006 for the additional taxes incurred under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. We also remitted an additional $0.54 million to the Internal Revenue Service and state tax agencies to cover any tax liabilities of our employees resulting from our payment of Section 409A taxes on July 2, 2007 on their behalf.
We also considered the application of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code to stock option exercises by certain executive officers where, under APB No. 25, intrinsic value existed at the time of grant. Section 162(m) limits the corporate tax deduction to $1.0 million annually for any non-performance based compensation paid to

an affected executive officer. The exercise of those options with intrinsic value at the time of grant will be considered non-performance based compensation, and the resulting gains have been disallowed as a corporate tax deduction to the extent these amounts, when combined with all other non-performance based compensation paid annually, exceed the annual $1.0 million Section 162(m) limitation. We have recorded a charge in 2003 and 2004, cumulatively, of approximately $1.1 million related to Section 162(m) disallowances for prior tax years.
Summary of Other Accounting Adjustments
As part of our restatement, we also recorded additional non-cash adjustments for previously identified adjustments that at the time were considered to be immaterial. These adjustments primarily related to the timing of revenue recognized for certain VUTEk contracts during 2005. The contract revenue and related costs of sales ($1.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively) originally recognized in 2005 were deferred at December 31, 2005 as part of the restatement resulting in an adjustment, net of taxes, of $0.3 million in our statement of operations. The contract revenue and related costs were subsequently recognized in 2006.

As a result of the stock-based compensation expense and other adjustments, the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as of December 31, 2005 and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2005, have been restated.

Note 3: Stock-Based Compensation
Adoption of SFAS 123(R)
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 123(R), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all equity awards made to our employees and directors, including employee stock options, restricted stock and employee stock purchases related to all stock-based compensation plans based on estimated fair values.
We use the Black-Scholes-Merton model (“BSM”) to value stock-based compensation for all equity awards except market based awards. Market based awards are valued using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The BSM model is the same model which was previously used in preparing our pro forma disclosure required under SFAS 123.
The BSM model determines the fair value of share-based payment awards based on the stock price on the date of grant and is affected by assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to EFI’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. Option-pricing models were developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting or hedging restrictions and are fully transferable. Because our employee stock options and awards have certain characteristics that are significantly different from traded options, and because changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimated value, in management’s opinion, the existing valuation models may not provide an accurate measure of the fair value of EFI’s employee stock options. Although the fair value of employee stock options is determined in accordance with SFAS 123(R) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) using an option-pricing model, the value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction.
The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense based on the aforementioned valuation models related to employee stock options, employee stock purchases and restricted stock under SFAS 123(R) for the year ended December 31, 2006:
| (in thousands) | 2006 | |||
Stock -based compensation expense by type of award: | ||||
Employee stock options | $ | 10,727 | ||
Employee stock purchase plan | 748 | |||
Restricted stock | 12,271 | |||
Total stock-based compensation | 23,746 | |||
Tax effect on stock-based compensation | (7,064 | ) | ||
Net effect on net loss | $ | 16,682 | ||
Stock Options—As of December 31, 2006, there was $11.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation arrangements for stock options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of one year.
Restricted Stock—As of December 31, 2006, there was $33.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation arrangements for restricted stock. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of two years.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”)—The compensation cost in connection with the plan for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $0.7 million. This cost is amortized over one-half year to two years. As of December 31,
86
Table of Contents
Electronics For Imaging, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
2006, there was $0.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation arrangements granted under the ESPP. That cost is expected to be recognized over a period of 1.7 years.
Valuation Assumptions
Our determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by various assumptions including volatility, expected term and interest rates. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock over a preceding period commensurate with the expected term of the option. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we utilize the “simplified” method described in SAB 107 to determine the expected term of our options. Using this method, the expected term is estimated by taking the weighted average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the option. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected dividend yield was not considered in the option pricing formula since we do not pay dividends and have no current plans to do so in the future.
The estimated per share weighted average fair value of options and ESPP shares granted and the assumptions used to determine fair value are shown below for the periods indicated:

On November 9, 2006, 196,250 shares of market based restricted stock units were granted to certain employees. These restricted stock units become fully vested based on achievement of a closing per share market price of $38.00. If the market price of EFI stock does not reach $38.00 prior to November 9, 2013, these shares will become fully vested on November 9, 2013 assuming continued employment until that date. We have estimated the aggregate fair value of these awards at approximately $4.5 million which is being amortized and recorded as compensation expense over a derived service period of 3.6 years. The derived service period was calculated using a Monte Carlo Valuation model based on our assumptions which included a risk-free interest rate of 4.7%, expected volatility of a five year look-back of 39% and expected volatility of a seven year look-back of 53%.

Purchase Agreement filed in a Current Report on Form 8-K on November 3, 2006, and incorporated herein by reference.
The purchase method of accounting has been used for this acquisition. Under this method of accounting, the purchase consideration is allocated to the tangible and identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed according to their respective fair values on the date of acquisition. The excess purchase consideration is recorded as goodwill. Factors that contribute to a purchase price that results in goodwill include, but are not limited to, the retention of research and development personnel with the skills to develop future Jetrion technology, support personnel to provide the maintenance services related to Jetrion products and a trained sales force capable of selling current and future Jetrion products, the opportunity to cross-sell Jetrion and EFI products to existing customers and the positive reputation that Jetrion has in the market. The goodwill of $25.5 million will be fully deductible for tax purposes.
The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands):

2005 Acquisition
VUTEk, Inc.
On June 2, 2005 we acquired VUTEk, Inc. (“VUTEk”) for approximately $289.2 million, less cash received of $7.4 million for a net purchase price of $281.8 million. We acquired VUTEk to further our presence in the commercial print market, as well as to increase our recurring revenues from sales of solvent and ultraviolet cured, or UV, inks.
The preliminary allocation of the total purchase price of VUTEk’s net intangible and identifiable intangible assets was based on their estimated fair values as of June 2, 2005.
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business combination and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the basis of their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. As of December 31, 2006, the total purchase price of $289.2 million has been allocated as follows (in thousands):

The amounts allocated to intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over their respective estimated useful lives of four years for acquired technology, six years for customer relationships and 30 years for trademarks and trade names. Goodwill of $113.8 million represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Factors that contributed to a purchase price that results in goodwill include, but are not limited to, the retention of research and development personnel with the skills to develop future VUTEk technology, support personnel to provide the maintenance services related to VUTEk products and a trained sales force capable of selling current and future VUTEk products, the opportunity to cross-sell VUTEk and EFI products to existing customers and the positive reputation that VUTEk has in the market.
VUTEk’s operating results have been included in our operating results since June 2, 2005.
Valuation Methodology
Intangible assets acquired consist of developed technology, patents, trademarks and trade names and customer relationships. The amount allocated to the purchased in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) was

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
determined using established valuation techniques and was expensed upon acquisition because technological feasibility had not been established and no future alternative uses existed. The value of this IPR&D was determined by estimating the costs to develop the purchased IPR&D into a commercially viable product, estimating the resulting net cash flows from the sale of the products resulting from the completion of the IPR&D and discounting the net cash flows back to their present value. Project completion schedules were based on management’s estimate of tasks completed and the tasks to be completed to bring the project to technical and commercial feasibility. IPR&D was included in operating expenses as part of other acquisition-related charges. During the fourth quarter of 2005, our original estimate of IPR&D of $38.2 million from the VUTEk acquisition as reported in the previous interim periods was adjusted to reflect $45.3 million per the final valuation report. No other adjustments have been made to our original estimates of IPR&D.

Note 7: Short-term Investments
Debt and marketable equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, which is determined based on quoted market prices, with net unrealized gains and losses included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income,” net of tax. We review investments in debt and equity securities for other-than-temporary impairment whenever the fair value of an investment is less than the amortized cost and evidence indicates that investment’s carrying amount is not recoverable within a reasonable period of time. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, we consider whether we have the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and consider whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary. We have determined that the gross unrealized losses on short-term investments at December 31, 2006 are temporary in nature because each investment meets our investment policy credit quality requirements and we have the ability and the intent to hold these investments until they recover their unrealized losses, which may be until maturity.

Note 8: Convertible Debt
On June 4, 2003, we sold $240.0 million of 1.50% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2023 (“Debentures”) in a private placement, which are unsecured senior obligations, paying interest semi-annually in arrears at an annual rate of 1.50%. Beginning in the sixth year after issuance, additional interest at a rate of 0.35% per annum will be paid under certain specified conditions. The Debentures are convertible before maturity into 9.1 million shares of our common stock at a conversion price of approximately $26.42 per share of common stock, but only upon the stock trading at or above $31.70 per share for 20 consecutive trading days during the last 30 consecutive trading days of the preceding fiscal quarter, or upon the occurrence of certain other specified events. None of the events that would cause the Debentures to be convertible had occurred as of December 31, 2006.
We may redeem the Debentures at our option, on or after June 1, 2008 at a redemption price equal to par plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, holders of the Debentures may require us to repurchase all or some of the Debentures on June 1, 2008, 2013 and 2018 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest, if any. Any Debentures repurchased on June 1, 2008 will be paid for in cash, but any Debentures repurchased on June 1, 2013 or 2018 may be paid for in cash, our common stock, or any combination thereof.
On each of June 1, 2008, June 1, 2013 and June 1, 2018, a holder may require us to repurchase any outstanding Debentures for which the holder has properly delivered and not withdrawn a written repurchase notice, subject to certain additional conditions, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of those Debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest, if any, to, but not including, the repurchase date. Holders may submit their Debentures for repurchase to the paying agent at any time from the opening of business on the date that is 20 business days prior to the repurchase date until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the repurchase date. We will pay the repurchase price for any Debentures submitted for repurchase by us on June 1, 2008 in cash. At our sole option, we may elect to pay the repurchase price for any Debentures submitted for repurchase by us on June 1, 2013 and June 1, 2018 in cash, in shares of our common stock or a combination of shares of our common stock and cash. In addition, a holder may require us to repurchase all or a portion of that holder’s Debentures if a fundamental change, as defined in the indenture, occurs prior to June 1, 2008 at 100% of their principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest, if any. In such event, we may choose to pay the repurchase price in cash, our common stock, or any combination thereof.
Due to the delayed filing of our 10-Q for the third quarter of 2006, we received a notice of a purported “compliance deficiency” from the trustee under the indenture governing the outstanding $240 million Debentures. This notice references certain requirements to file with the trustee copies of annual and quarterly reports that we were required to file with the SEC. The notice asserted that if the deficiency is not cured within 60 days, an “Event of Default” will occur under the indenture, and thereupon the trustee will seek the remedies allowed in the indenture to protect the interests of the holders of the Debentures. Based on this compliance

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
deficiency, the convertible debentures are classified as a current liability in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2006.
Under the terms of the indenture, we had 60 days to cure the default. As of January 10, 2007 the default was not cured. At that time, either the trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Debentures had the option to accelerate the maturity of the Debentures, causing the outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest to be immediately due and payable; to date, none has done so.
We received additional notices in 2007 due to our failure to timely file our periodic reports.
As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately $510.2 million of cash and investments and therefore had adequate financial resources to pay any unpaid principal and interest due on the Debentures. Although we reserve the right to take any action we deem appropriate, and we have not conceded that any default has occurred under the indenture, we currently expect that, upon a valid acceleration (if any) of the Debentures, we would repay all outstanding amounts due thereunder. We believe that, as a result of the filing of our periodic reports on October 22, 2007, any purported default under the Debentures will be cured and is no longer continuing, and neither the trustee nor any holders of the Debentures will have any ability to accelerate the maturity of the Debentures from and after October 22, 2007. The Debentures are convertible into approximately 9.1 million shares of our common stock. We include the approximately 9.1 million shares related to the Debentures in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, except when the inclusion of these shares is anti-dilutive to earnings.

Note 10: Commitments and Contingencies
Leases
Off-Balance Sheet Financing—Synthetic Lease Arrangement
We are a party to two synthetic leases (the “301 Lease” and the “303 Lease”, together “Leases”) covering our Foster City facilities located at 301 and 303 Velocity Way, Foster City, California. These leases provide a cost effective means of providing adequate office space for our corporate offices. Both Leases expire in July 2014. We may, at our option, purchase the facilities during or at the end of the term of the leases for the amount expended by the lessor to purchase the facilities ($56.9 million for the 303 Lease and $31.7 million for the 301 Lease). We have guaranteed to the lessor a residual value associated with the buildings equal to 82% of their funding of the respective Leases. Under the financial covenants, we must maintain a minimum net worth and a minimum tangible net worth as of the end of each quarter. There is an additional covenant regarding mergers. We were in compliance with all such financial and merger related covenants as of December 31, 2006. We are liable to the lessor for the financed amount of the buildings if we default on our covenants. We have obtained limited and conditional waivers from the lessor regarding any event of default that should occur solely as a result of an event of default on other indebtedness caused by our failure to comply with covenants relating to the filing and delivery of our periodic reports to the SEC.
We have assessed our exposure in relation to the first loss guarantees under the Leases and believe that there is no deficiency to the guaranteed value at December 31, 2006. If there is a decline in value, we will record a loss associated with the residual value guarantee. The funds pledged under the Leases ($56.9 million for the 303 Lease and $31.7 million for the 301 Lease at December 31, 2006 for a total of $88.6 million) are in LIBOR-based interest bearing accounts and are restricted as to withdrawal at all times. In conjunction with the Leases, we have entered into separate ground leases with the lessor for approximately 30 years.
We are treated as the owner of these buildings for federal income tax purposes.
Effective July 1, 2003, we applied the accounting and disclosure rules set forth in Interpretation No. 46 Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as revised (“FIN 46R”) for variable interest entities (“VIEs”). We have evaluated our synthetic lease agreements to determine if the arrangements qualify as variable interest entities under FIN 46R. We have determined that the synthetic lease agreements do qualify as VIEs; however, because we are not the primary beneficiary under FIN 46R we are not required to consolidate the VIEs in our financial statements.
As part of the September 2004 amended financing arrangement for the 301 Lease, we completed a valuation of the building located at 301 Velocity Way. Under the original financing agreement, we guaranteed the lessor upon termination of the original lease an 82% residual value in the building which cost $43.1 million to construct. The valuation provided a value of approximately $31.7 million, and we recorded a one-time loss of $11.4 million associated with the original lease. In addition, we took a non-cash charge of $0.9 million for capitalized costs associated with the financial arrangement.

Lease obligation related to the principal corporate facility is estimated and is based on current market interest rates (LIBOR) and based on collateralized assumptions.
Rental expense amounted to approximately $8.1 million, $6.2 million and $4.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Purchase Commitments
We sub-contract with other companies to manufacture our products. During the normal course of business the sub-contractors procure components based upon orders placed by us. If we cancel all or part of the order, we may still be liable to the sub-contractors for the cost of the components purchased by the sub-contractors for placement in our products. We periodically review the potential liability and the adequacy of the related allowance. Our consolidated financial position and results of operations could be negatively impacted if we were required to compensate the sub-contract manufacturers for amounts in excess of the related allowance.
Guarantees and Product Warranties
Under Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (“FIN 45”), we are required upon issuance of a guarantee to disclose and recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation we assume under that guarantee.
Our products are generally accompanied by a 12-month warranty, which covers both parts and labor. We accrue for warranty costs as part of cost of sales based on associated material product costs and technical support labor costs. The warranty provision is based upon historical experience, by product, configuration and geographic region.

The lease agreements for our company headquarters provide for residual value guarantees. Under FIN 45, the fair value of a residual value guarantee in lease agreements entered into after December 31, 2002, must be recognized as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet. We have determined that the residual value guarantees have no material value as of December 31, 2006.
In the normal course of business and in an effort to facilitate the sales of our products, we sometimes indemnify other parties, including customers, lessors and parties to other transactions with us. Typically our indemnity provisions provide that we agree to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations and warranties or covenants and intellectual property infringement. Our indemnity provisions often limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made as well as the amount of the claim which can be made. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our current and former officers and directors; our bylaws also contain similar indemnification obligations for our agents.
Legal Proceedings
As more fully discussed below, from time to time, we may be involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings relating to contractual disputes, securities law, intellectual property, employment matters and other claims or litigation matters relating to various claims that arise in the normal course of our business. We determine whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. We assess our potential liability by analyzing our specific litigation and regulatory matters using available information. We develop our views on estimated losses in consultation with inside and outside counsel, which involves a subjective analysis of potential results and outcomes, assuming various combinations of appropriate litigation and settlement strategies. Because of the uncertainties related to both the amount and ranges of possible loss on the pending litigation matters, we are unable to predict with certainty the precise liability that could finally result from a range of possible unfavorable outcomes. However, taking all of the above factors into account, we reserve an amount that we could reasonably expect to pay for the cases discussed. However, our estimates could be wrong, and we could pay more or less than our current accrual. Litigation can be costly, diverting management’s attention and could, upon resolution, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.
Leggett & Platt, Inc. and L&P Property Management Company v. VUTEk, Inc.:
In May 2005, prior to EFI’s acquisition of VUTEK, Leggett & Platt, Inc. (“L&P’), and its patent holding subsidiary brought a patent infringement action against VUTEk in the United States District Court in the Eastern District of Missouri. After conducting extensive discovery, EFI moved for summary judgment that the asserted patent is invalid and not infringed. After several months of reviewing the evidence, on December 26, 2006, the Court granted EFI’s summary judgment motion and ruled that all of L&P’s asserted patent claims were invalid on multiple grounds. The Court found that each asserted patent claim was obvious and already disclosed in VUTEk’s own prior patents. In addition to those two grounds for invalidity, the Court also found L&P’s patent claims invalid because the L&P patent claims were vague and indefinite in view of the patent claim interpretations suggested by L&P. The Court also granted EFI’s motion to recover its costs from L&P. L&P filed a notice of appeal, and EFI moved to dismiss the appeal for lack of proper certification from the trial court. The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C. granted EFI’s motion and dismissed L&P’s first appeal. After obtaining a final certification from the trial court, L&P filed a new notice of appeal. EFI will continue to vigorously contest L&P’s second attempt at an appeal.
Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) Export Investigation:
In January 2005, prior to EFI’s acquisition of VUTEk, the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) initiated an investigation of VUTEk relating to VUTEk’s alleged failure to comply with U.S.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
export regulations in connection with several export sales to Syria in 2004. EFI self-initiated an internal compliance review of historical export practices for both VUTEk and EFI. Potential violations uncovered during our compliance review were voluntarily disclosed to BIS in November 2006 (for VUTEk) and December 2006 (for EFI). Additionally, we provided BIS with detailed reports of our compliance review findings and supplemental information in March 2007 (for VUTEk) and May 2007 (for EFI). The areas of possible non-compliance found in the internal review relate to: (1) deemed exports of controlled encryption source code and/or technology to foreign nationals of Syria and Iran, (2) exports of printers and other products with encryption functionality before completion of encryption reviews by BIS and (3) statistical reporting errors on some export declarations. At present, we believe that these matters will be resolved solely with administrative penalties. However, there is no assurance that these matters will not have an unforeseen outcome that could impair our ability to export product outside of the United States and Canada.
Purported Derivative Shareholder Lawsuits:
On August 16, 2006, a purported derivative shareholder complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo captioned Parish v. Avida et al., No. CIV 457013. A substantively identical complaint was filed in the same court on September 11, 2006 captioned Fennimore v. Avida et al., No. CIV 457566. These actions were consolidated as In re Electronics For Imaging, Inc. Derivative Litigation, Master File No. 457013. The consolidated complaint filed December 18, 2006, alleged claims—derivatively and on behalf of the Company as nominal defendant—against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and/or directors and sought redress for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by and unjust enrichment of the individual defendants. Plaintiffs claimed that, from 1994 to 2003, the defendants colluded to improperly backdate stock option grants to various officers and directors in violation of the Company’s stock option plans. Further, Plaintiffs claimed that the individual defendants colluded to improperly record and account for the allegedly backdated options in violation of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and to produce and disseminate statements that improperly recorded and accounted for the options and concealed the allegedly improper backdating. According to plaintiffs, the Company has suffered damage as a result of the individual defendants’ alleged misconduct, and the recipients of the options have allegedly garnered unlawful profits. On January 30, 2007 the court entered a stipulated order dismissing the consolidated action and, on February 2, 2007, plaintiffs filed a similar complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California captioned Parish et al. v. Avida et al., No. C07-00698.
On November 22, 2006, another purported derivative shareholder complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo captioned City of Ann Arbor Employees’ Retirement Association v. Gecht et al., No. CIV 459145. The complaint asserted derivative claims against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and/or directors, alleging that the director defendants breached their fiduciary duty by improperly manipulating certain stock option grants between 1996 and 2003, thereby violating the terms of the Company’s stock option plan, causing the Company to issue false and misleading financial statements and proxy statements, and unjustly enriching the executives who received the subject option grants. The complaint also purported to be brought on behalf of a class consisting of all others similarly situated and alleges a class claim for breach of the fiduciary duty of disclosure. On December 5, 2006 the case was removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and, on March 9, 2007, the court denied plaintiff’s motion to remand the case back to state court. On April 3, 2007 the court granted plaintiff’s motion to voluntarily dismiss its complaint. Plaintiff re-filed its complaint in Delaware Chancery Court on April 9, 2007.
On November 27, 2006 a purported derivative shareholder complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California captioned Indiana State District Council of Laborers and Hod Carriers Pension Fund v. Gecht et al., No. C-06-7274(EMC). Similar to the derivative allegations asserted in the previously-filed complaints, the plaintiff alleges that, between 1997 and 2006, the individual defendants
99

Electronics For Imaging, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
improperly manipulated the grant date of certain stock option grants and made false or misleading statements regarding such grants. Plaintiff claims that the individual defendants’ alleged misconduct violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as California and Delaware law. On March 22, 2007, the court issued an Order consolidating this action with the Parish action. On April 12, 2007 Parish and Fennimore were appointed lead plaintiffs and their attorneys lead counsel. On July 25, 2007 the Court granted plaintiffs’ unopposed motion to stay the action in deference to the litigation pending in Delaware (described below).
On March 15, 2007 a complaint was filed in Delaware Chancery Court captioned Denver Employees Retirement Plan v. Gecht et al., No. 2797. The complaint asserts derivative claims against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and/or directors, alleging that the director defendants breached their fiduciary duty by improperly manipulating certain stock option grants between 1996 and 2003, thereby violating the terms of the Company’s stock option plan, causing the Company to issue false and misleading financial statements and proxy statements, and unjustly enriching the executives who received the subject option grants. The complaint also purported to be brought on behalf of a class consisting of all others similarly situated and alleges a class claim for breach of the fiduciary duty of disclosure. On May 9, 2007, the court granted the parties’ proposed order consolidating the Denver and Ann Arbor cases, designating the Denver complaint as the operative complaint, and appointing the named plaintiffs lead plaintiffs and their counsel lead counsel. Defendants have moved to dismiss the action.
Durst Fototechnik Technology GmbH v. Electronics for Imaging, GmbH et al.:
On February 23, 2007, Durst brought a patent infringement action against EFI GmbH in the Mannheim District Court in Germany. On May 10, 2007, EFI GmbH filed its Statement of Defenses. These defenses include lack of jurisdiction, non-infringement, invalidity and unenforceability based on Durst’s improper actions before the German patent office. EFI Inc. filed its Statement of Defense on August 29, 2007. EFI Inc.’s defenses include those for EFI GmbH as well as an additional defense for prior use based on EFI’s own European patent rights. Trial has been set in Mannheim for November 30, 2007. EFI will continue to defend itself vigorously.
Acacia Patent Litigation
On August 8, 2007, Screentone Systems Corporation, a subsidiary of Acacia Technologies Group, initiated litigation against several defendants, including Konica Minolta Printing Solutions, Canon USA, and Ricoh Americas, for infringement of a patent related to apparatus and methods of digital halftoning in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. Konica Minolta, Canon and Ricoh are EFI customers. While the complaint does not identify any accused products nor reference EFI directly, at least one defendant has notified EFI that Acacia representatives have communicated that at least one basis for its infringement claim is based on certain EFI Fiery products. EFI has contractual obligations to indemnify its customers to varying degrees and subject to various circumstances. At least one defendant has written requesting indemnification for any EFI products that allegedly infringe these patents. While EFI does not believe that its products infringed this patent, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.
Tesseron Patent Litigation
On September 26, 2007, Tesseron, Ltd. initiated litigation against Konica Minolta Business Solutions USA, Konica Minolta Business Technologies and Konica Minolta Holdings for infringement of eight patents related to variable printing technology in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division. Konica Minolta is an EFI customer and the complaint references EFI Fiery variable data enabled printer controllers. Additionally, Tesseron has on multiple occasions over the past 4 years sent threatening letters to EFI. However, Tesseron failed to reply to each of EFI’s requests for a dialogue. EFI has contractual

obligations to indemnify its customers to varying degrees and subject to various circumstances. Konica Minolta has written requesting indemnification for any EFI products that allegedly infringe these patents. While EFI does not believe that its products infringed any of these patents, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.
Nasdaq Delisting Proceedings:
Due to the Special Committee investigation, we were unable to file on a timely basis with the SEC our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2007 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2007. On November 15, 2006, we received a Nasdaq staff determination notice stating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) due to our failure to timely file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006, and that our securities are, therefore, subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Global Select Market. We received additional Nasdaq staff determination notices with respect to our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007.
We requested and subsequently attended a hearing before the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the staff determination and presented a plan to cure the filing deficiencies and regain compliance. The Panel granted our request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market, subject to certain conditions which we were unable to meet because of the then-ongoing independent investigation of our historical stock option grants. As a result, the Panel notified us that it had determined to delist our securities, which ordinarily would have resulted in the suspension of our securities effective on May 17, 2007. However, the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Listing Council”), pursuant to its discretionary authority under Marketplace Rule 4807(b), called for review the decision of the Panel regarding our case and stayed any action by the Panel to suspend our securities from trading on The Nasdaq Global Select Market pending further action by the Listing Council.
On July 2, 2007, we provided the Listing Council with an additional submission for its consideration, and requested that the Listing Council exercise its discretionary authority, pursuant to Marketplace Rule 4802(b), in favor of granting us an additional extension to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s filing requirement, as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14).
On August 23, 2007, the Listing Council notified us that it had determined to exercise its discretionary authority, under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4802(b), to grant us an exception to demonstrate compliance with all of The Nasdaq Global Select Market continued listing requirements through October 22, 2007.
Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, we provide indemnifications of varying scope to customers against claims of intellectual property infringement or other claims made by third parties arising from the use of our products. Historically, costs related to these indemnification provisions were insignificant. However, we are unable to estimate the maximum potential impact of these indemnification provisions on our future results of operations.
As permitted under Delaware law, pursuant to our bylaws, charter and indemnification agreements that we have entered into with our current and former executive officers and directors, we are required, subject to certain limited qualifications, to indemnify our executive officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the executive officer or director is, or was serving, at our request in such capacity. The indemnification period
101
Table of Contents
Electronics For Imaging, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
covers all pertinent events and occurrences during the executive officer’s or director’s lifetime, and our indemnification obligations generally extend to the derivative shareholder suits and Nasdaq delisting proceedings described in this filing. In this regard, we have received, and expect to receive, requests for indemnification by certain current and former executive officers and directors in connection with the review of our historical stock option granting practices and the related restatement, related government inquiries and derivative shareholder suits described herein. The maximum potential amount of future payments we may be obligated to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, we have director and officer insurance coverage that limits our exposure and may enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.
Note 11: Common Stock Repurchase Programs
In August 2004, our Board of Directors authorized $100.0 million to be used to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock. A total of 53 thousand shares were repurchased under this program in 2004 and an additional 2,263 thousand shares were purchased under a previous Board of Directors authorization of $50.0 million which was completed in 2004. No shares were repurchased in 2005 and 1,523 thousand shares were repurchased in 2006. Our buyback program is limited by the SEC regulations and by trading windows set by the Company’s policy. The $100.0 million repurchase program was intended to partially offset the exercise of common stock options by employees and the distribution of common stock through the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Approximately $65.1 million remains under the program to purchase shares at December 31, 2006. In connection with our investigation of our historical stock option grant practices, we suspended our buyback program in August 2006.
None of the shares of common stock we have repurchased have been cancelled.
Note 12: Restructuring Charges / Disposition of Product Line
In June 2006 we sold our inventory and intangible assets related to the Mobile Workforce Automation (MWA) product line for $10.0 million and we recognized a gain of $7.0 million. Other elements of this product line are still reported under continued operations.
We incurred restructuring costs of $2.7 million during the first quarter of 2005. These costs related to employee severance related to a reduction in workforce in all of our operating categories and at all of our principal locations. As of December 31, 2005, we had charged approximately $2.7 million against the restructuring accrual for employee severance costs for approximately 65 employees. As of December 31, 2006, we had fully charged against the restructuring accrual the severance payments for these employees.

We have $46.3 million ($38.0 million for state tax purposes) and $9.4 million ($16.4 million for state tax purposes) of loss and credit carry-forwards at December 31, 2006 for US federal tax purposes. These losses and credits will expire between 2007 and 2021. A significant portion of these net operating loss and credit carry-forwards relate to recent acquisitions and utilization of these loss and credit carry-forwards will be subject to an annual limitation under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (IRC). We also have a valuation allowance related to foreign tax credits resulting from the 2003 acquisition of Best and compensation limitations potentially limited by IRC 162(m). If these foreign tax credits are ultimately utilized, the resulting benefit would reduce goodwill rather than tax expense. If the compensation deductions are ultimately utilized, the resulting benefit would reduce tax expense.
In 2005, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) started an examination of our income tax returns for the years 2002, 2003, and 2004. We are also subject to ongoing audits by state and foreign tax authorities. We believe that adequate accruals for potential assessments have been made for all years.
In the second quarter of 2005, pursuant to the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, we made the decision to repatriate earnings which had previously been permanently invested outside the United States. In the fourth quarter of 2005, we repatriated $70.0 million of earnings to the US. The total tax charge associated with this repatriation was $3.5 million, of which $0.5 million represents state income taxes, net of federal benefit. In addition, we reduced our tax contingency reserve in 2006 and 2005 by $0.4 million and $6.2 million respectively as a result of the filing of our prior year’s federal, state, and foreign tax returns and the closing of the statute of limitations in certain tax jurisdictions.
During the third quarter of 2004, we reached a settlement with the IRS for the federal income tax returns filed for the years 1999 through 2001. As a result of the settlement, the third quarter’s tax benefit in 2004 was increased
104
Table of Contents
Electronics For Imaging, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
by the reassessment of taxes resulting in a favorable adjustment of $18.9 million. This favorable adjustment was related to the profitability of foreign operations in 1999 through 2003 and foreign sales corporation and research and development credit benefits.
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by requiring a tax position be recognized only when it is more likely than not that the tax position, based on its technical merits, will be sustained upon ultimate settlement with the applicable tax authority. The tax benefit to be recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the applicable tax authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. FIN 48 is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2006, and we are required to adopt FIN 48 in the first quarter of 2007. Upon adoption of FIN 48, we will record a cumulative effect adjustment of approximately $4.8 million to increase opening retained earnings in the first quarter of 2007.
Note 14: Employee Benefit Plans
As of December 31, 2006, we have 11 stock-based compensation plans of which 10 are stock incentive plans and one is an employee stock purchase plan.
1990 Stock plan
In June 1990, the Company adopted the 1990 Stock Option Plan (the “1990 Plan”), which, as amended, provided for the issuance of incentive and nonqualified stock options to our employees, directors and non-employees. The Company reserved 13.2 million shares of common stock for issuance under the 1990 Plan. The terms of the 1990 Plan required that incentive stock options be granted with an exercise price of no less than the fair market value on the date of the grant. The original terms of the 1990 Plan provided that the exercise price of nonqualified stock options could not be less than 85% of the fair market value on the date of the grant. On May 4, 1995, the 1990 Plan was amended to provide that the Company would not grant options at less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. Generally, the options vested over a four year period. The 1990 Plan allows the Company to buy out an option grant for a payment in cash or shares, an option previously granted based on terms and conditions as established by the Company at the time such offer is made. The 1990 Plan provides for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the 1990 Plan).
The 1990 Plan by its terms expired in June 2000. The Board of Directors or a committee designated by the Board of Directors has the authority to determine to whom options would be granted, the number of shares, the vesting period and the exercise price (which generally cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value at the date of grant for incentive stock options). The options are exercisable at times and increments as specified by the Board of Directors, and expire not more than 10 years from date of grant. All options available under the 1990 Plan have been issued. Any shares (plus any shares that might in the future be returned to the 1990 Plan as a result of cancellations) that remained available for future grants under the 1990 Plan have been cancelled. No further awards will be made under this plan, but it will continue to govern awards previously granted under the plan. As of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, there were approximately 1.8 million, 2.2 million and 2.7 million shares, respectively, outstanding under the 1990 Plan.
1999 Stock plan
In March 1999, the Company adopted the 1999 Stock Plan (the “1999 Plan”), which, as amended, provides for the issuance of the following types of incentive awards: (i) incentive stock options, (ii) nonstatutory stock
105
Table of Contents
Electronics For Imaging, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
options, (iii) stock appreciation rights, (iv) stock bonuses and (v) rights to acquire restricted stock. The 1999 Plan authorized 10.6 million shares of common stock for issuance. The terms of the plan provides that an option price may not be less than 100% of fair market value and the purchase price under restricted stock purchase agreement may not be less than 50% of fair market value on the date of the grant. The Board of Directors may award stock bonuses in consideration of past services without a purchase payment. The stock issued pursuant to stock bonuses and restricted stock awards in the aggregate can not exceed 2.5% of the aggregate shares reserved for issuance. The plan also provides that all Stock Awards that expire or otherwise terminate, in whole or in part, without having been exercised in full (or vested in the case of Restricted Stock), the stock not acquired under such Stock Award reverts to the Plan and become available again for issuance under the Plan. The Board of Directors or a committee designated by the Board of Directors has the authority to determine to whom options will be granted, the number of shares, the vesting period, the expiration date and the exercise price. The 1999 Plan provides for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the 1999 Plan).
The options and restricted stock awards generally vest from two to four years and expire from seven to ten years from the date of the grant. The 1999 Plan expires in March 2009. As of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, there were 3.7 million, 5.3 million and 6.4 million shares respectively, outstanding under the 1999 Plan. As of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, there were 0.5 million, 0.3 million and 0.5 million shares, respectively, available for grant under the 1999 Plan.
As a result of the Company’s failure to timely file all required periodic reports under the Exchange Act of 1934, registration statements for securities issuable under the plans were unavailable.
2004 Stock Plan
In June 2004, the Company adopted the 2004 Stock Plan (the “2004 Plan”), which provides for the issuance of the following types of incentive awards: (i) incentive stock options, (ii) nonstatutory stock options, (iii) stock appreciation rights, (iv) stock bonuses and stock units and (iv) rights to acquire restricted stock and restricted stock units.
Under the 2004 Plan, 8.4 million shares of common stock were authorized for issuance. This amount includes 0.1 million shares that were consolidated from the acquired Splash Plan, T/R Plan and Printcafe Plans on June 7, 2006. The terms of the plan provides that an option price shall not be less than 100% of fair market value on the date of the grant. The Board of Directors may grant a stock bonus or stock unit award under the 2004 Plan in lieu of all or a portion of any cash bonus that a participant would have otherwise received for the related performance period. The vesting period for restricted stock must be at least (a) one (1) year in the case of a restricted stock award subject to a vesting schedule based upon the achievement of specified performance goals by the participant or (b) three (3) years in the case of a restricted stock award absent such performance-based vesting. Under this plan, restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards may be granted that do not comply with the preceding minimum vesting requirement as long as the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued with respect to such non-conforming awards granted under this plan does not exceed 10% of the reserve. If any stock award shall for any reason expire or otherwise terminate, in whole or in part, without having been exercised in full (or vested in the case of restricted stock and restricted stock units), the stock not acquired under such stock award shall revert to and again become available for issuance under the 2004 Plan. The 2004 Plan provides for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the 2004 Plan).
The Board of Directors or a committee designated by the Board of Directors has the authority to determine to whom options will be granted, the number of shares, the vesting period, the expiration date and the exercise price. The options and restricted stock awards generally vest over a 42 to 48 month period and expire from seven to ten years from the date of the grant. As of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, there were 3.9 million,

2.1 million, and 0.1 million shares, respectively, outstanding under the 2004 Plan. As of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, there were 3.3 million, 6.0 million and 8.3 million shares, respectively, available for grant under the 2004 Plan.
As a result of the Company’s failure to timely file all required periodic reports under the Exchange Act of 1934, registration statements for securities issuable under the plans were unavailable.
2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In May 2000, our Board of Directors adopted the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which became effective on August 1, 2000 and reserved 400 shares of common stock for issuance under the ESPP. The ESPP, as amended, has an automatic share increase feature pursuant to which the shares reserved under the ESPP will automatically increase on the first trading day in January of each year, beginning with calendar year 2006 and continuing through calendar year 2012. The amount of increase is equal to three quarters of one percent (0.75%) of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on the last trading day of December in the immediately preceding calendar year but in no event shall any such increase exceed 2.5 million shares annually. Under the ESPP 2.0 million shares of the Company’s stock have been reserved for issuance.
The ESPP is qualified under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. Eligible employees may contribute from one percent to ten percent of their base compensation not to exceed ten percent of the employee’s earnings. Employees are not able to purchase more than the number of shares having a value greater than $25,000 in any calendar year, as measured at the beginning of the offering period under the ESPP. The purchase price shall be the lesser of 85% of the fair market value of the stock, either on the offering date or on the purchase date. The offering period shall not exceed 27 months beginning with the offering date. The ESPP provided for offerings of 4 consecutive, overlapping 6-month offering periods, with a new offering period commencing on the first trading day on or after February 1 and August 1 of each year.
The ESPP was suspended effective November 9, 2006 due to the stock options investigation. For all participants that did not withdraw from the plan, contributions made through that date were being held to be applied towards the first purchase date subsequent to the reinstatement of the plan. We returned all amounts for participants with an offering period that exceeded 22 months from the beginning of the offering date. It is the Company’s intention to reinstate this plan as soon as practicable after we are current on our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In 2006, 2005 and 2004, 0.4 million shares were issued each year under the ESPP at an average purchase price of $14.75, $14.39 and $13.68, respectively. At December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, there were 0.1 million, 0.5 million and 0.9 million shares, respectively, available for issuance under the ESPP.
Acquired Stock Plans
In connection with the acquiring various companies, we also assumed their stock incentive plans as listed below. On June 7, 2006, 0.1 million shares that were available for grant under the Splash Plan, the T/R Plan and the Printcafe Plans were consolidated under the 2004 Plan. Any shares of Common Stock subject to stock option or other award grants under these Plans that subsequently expire, are cancelled, are forfeited or otherwise terminate will be available for award grant purposes under the 2004 Plan.
Management Graphics, Inc. 1985 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan
The Management Graphics, Inc. Plan terminated in December 2000. No further awards will be made under this plan, but it will continue to govern awards previously granted under the plan. As of December 31, 2006, 2 thousand shares were outstanding.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
to a maximum annual amount as set periodically by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). We currently match 50% of the employee contributions, up to a maximum of the first 4% of the employee’s compensation contributed to the plan, subject to IRS limitations. Our match is annually determined by the Board of Directors. All matching contributions vest over four years starting with the hire date of the individual employee. Our matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan totaled $1.8 million in 2006, $1.6 million in 2005, and $1.7 million in 2004. The employees and our contributions are cash contributions invested in mutual funds managed by an independent fund manager, or in self-directed retirement plans.

Note 15: Information Concerning Business Segments and Major Customers
Information about Products and Services
We operate in a single industry segment, technology for high-quality printing in short production runs. In accordance with SFAS 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” our operating decision-makers have been identified as our executive officers, who review the operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. We do not have separate operating segments for which discrete financial statements are prepared. Our management makes operating decisions and assesses performance primarily based on the marketplace acceptance of our products, which is typically measured by revenues.
The following is a breakdown of revenues by product category for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004:

Information about Geographic Areas
Our sales originate in the United States, The Netherlands, Germany and Japan. Shipments to some of our OEM customers are made to centralized purchasing and manufacturing locations, which in turn sell through to other locations. As a result of these factors, we believe that sales to certain geographic locations might be higher or lower, as accurate data is difficult to obtain.

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is engaged in a comprehensive effort to review, evaluate and improve our controls; however, management does not expect that our disclosure controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 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.
We assessed the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework.
Based on our assessment using those criteria, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2006. Our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Management’s Consideration of the Restatement
In coming to the conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2006 management considered, among other things, the control deficiencies related to accounting for stock-based compensation and our control environment, which resulted in the need to restate our previously issued financial statements. Management has concluded these control deficiencies did not constitute a material weakness as of December 31, 2006 because management
120

determined that as of that date there were effective controls designed and in place to prevent or detect a material misstatement.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None.

Item 11: Executive Compensation
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Compensation Objectives and Philosophy
The Company’s compensation objectives and philosophy provide the guiding principles for decisions made by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) for compensation to be paid to our named executive officers, which, during the 2006 fiscal year, included the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Please refer to the compensation tables below for the individuals serving in these capacities during 2006. The Committee believes that compensation paid to executive officers should be closely aligned with the performance of the Company on both a short-term and long-term basis, and linked to specific, measurable results intended to create value for stockholders. In establishing compensation programs for the named executive officers for the 2006 fiscal year, the Committee considered the following principles and objectives:
| • | Attract and retain individuals of superior ability and managerial talent; |
| • | Ensure compensation is closely aligned with the Company’s corporate strategies, business and financial objectives and the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders; |
| • | Create incentives to achieve key strategic and financial performance goals of the Company by linking executive incentive award opportunities to the achievement of these goals; and |
| • | Ensure that the total compensation is fair, reasonable and competitive. |
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
The Committee, serving under a charter adopted by the Board of Directors, is composed entirely of outside directors who have never served as officers of the Company. Under the charter, the Committee has overall responsibility for approving and evaluating the executive officer compensation plans, policies and programs of
126
Table of Contents
the Company. This includes base salaries, incentive awards, stock option grants, employment agreements, severance arrangements, change in control provisions, as well as any other benefits or compensation arrangements for the named executive officers. In certain circumstances, the Committee may solicit input from the full Board of Directors before making final decisions relating to executive compensation.
As of the date of this report, the Committee consisted of Messrs. Cogan and Maydan. During the fiscal year 2006, Messrs. Cogan and Gassée served as members of the Committee. On July 22, 2007, the Committee was reconstituted by the Board, with the appointment of Messrs. Cogan and Maydan.
Role of Management in Assisting Compensation Decisions
Members of the executive management team of the Company, such as the named executive officers and the Vice President of Human Resources (hereafter referred to as Executive Management), may assist and support the Committee in determining compensation for the named executive officers. Members of Executive Management may provide recommendations and information to the Committee to consider, analyze and review in connection with any compensation proposal for the named executive officers. Members of Executive Management do not have any final decision-making authority in regards to named executive officer compensation. The Committee reviews any recommendations and information provided by Executive Management, and approves the final executive compensation package for the named executive officers. During the fiscal year 2006, members of Executive Management provided the Committee with recommendations and proposals relating to each element of executive compensation described below. These recommendations and proposals were based on competitive factors, individual compensation histories, prior equity awards, and anticipated and projected operating results of the Company for the fiscal year 2006.
Use of Independent Third Party Consultants
The Committee may use consultants to assist in the evaluation of compensation for the named executive officers. The Committee has the sole authority to retain and terminate any compensation consultant engaged to perform these services. The Committee also has authority to obtain advice and assistance from internal or external legal, accounting, or other advisers.
During 2006, the Company used a compensation report from Radford Surveys + Consulting dated October 2005. The Radford Survey provided Executive Management with compensation data and practices of many other companies over a very wide range of industries. Members of Executive Management used the Radford Survey to assess general executive compensation information, and to assist in formulating recommendations and proposals to be presented to the Committee with respect to executive compensation levels in 2006. The Committee used this information as provided by Executive Management, among many other considerations, as mentioned below, while reviewing, evaluating and determining executive compensation during 2006.
The Company recently contracted with Mercer Human Resource Consulting, an independent compensation consulting firm, during the 2007 fiscal year for assistance in providing the Committee with recommendations and information that the Committee may deem useful or relevant for determining compensation for the named executive officers for fiscal years 2007 and 2008.
Benchmarking
The Company did not utilize a peer group for purposes of benchmarking executive compensation for the fiscal year 2006. However, the Company has used third-party executive compensation surveys that report on the compensation practices of other companies for purposes of benchmarking compensation for the named executive officers in previous fiscal years. For example, during the fiscal years 2002, 2003 and 2004, the Company and the Committee during these periods used an executive compensation report from Frederick W. Cook, an independent compensation consultant. Due to the unique nature of the business, operations, products and markets of the Company, there has been significant difficulty in finding comparable companies for purposes of benchmarking
127
Table of Contents
executive compensation. As such, the Company attempts to provide executive compensation programs that are generally competitive with comparable companies based on overall compensation information available from third party reports and surveys, rather than using specific or uniform benchmarks with established peer groups for each compensation element.
The Company anticipates that the current Committee will utilize benchmarking, or peer group analyses, in the future for purposes of evaluating, reviewing and determining compensation for the named executive officers. The Company is currently evaluating future executive compensation programs, which may include aspects of benchmarking, with the assistance of Mercer Human Resource Consulting, as mentioned above.
Executive Compensation Elements
For the fiscal year 2006, the principal elements or components of compensation for the named executive officers were: (1) base salary, (2) performance-based incentive compensation, (3) long-term equity compensation and (4) other benefits and perquisites.
For each element of executive compensation, including base salary, bonuses, and equity awards, the Committee during 2006 considered a number of factors, such as the executive’s employment experience, performance of the executive during the period, performance of the Company during the period, achievement of Company performance targets set by the Board, demonstrated leadership, potential to enhance long-term stockholder value, information relating to marketplace competitiveness, current compensation levels, compensation history and prior equity awards. Since there are no static or fixed policies regarding the amount and allocation for each component or element of executive compensation, the determination and composition of total compensation is up to the discretion of the Committee and is decided on a year by year basis.
The measurement or assessment of performance of the individual executive, and his or her demonstrated leadership and potential to enhance long-term stockholder value during 2006 was qualitative in nature, and was determined by the judgment and discretion of the Committee. During 2006, the measurement or assessment of the Company’s performance and the achievement of Company performance targets were primarily quantitative with respect to the elements of incentive based compensation, and are addressed in greater detail below. The factors relating to current compensation levels, compensation history and prior equity awards for each of the executive officers were primarily used to assist in evaluating the appropriate levels of compensation for each element of compensation for the 2006 fiscal year, and any potential increase or decrease from the prior year levels.
The disparity in the levels of compensation for each element of compensation between the named executive officers reflects consideration of the executive’s roles and responsibilities, the executive’s tenure with the Company, as well as the other factors mentioned above. The Committee evaluates these factors in establishing compensation for each named executive officer, individually.
The Committee considers the value of the entire compensation package when establishing the appropriate levels of compensation for each element. As such, amounts paid under one element of compensation may affect the amounts paid under another element of compensation. For example, the Company may reserve a significant portion of executive compensation for performance-based incentive programs, while allocating a comparatively lesser amount for fixed compensation elements. As noted above, however, the Company does not apply a formulaic approach to the allocation of specific elements within the total compensation package available to the named executive officers. The Committee exercises its judgment and discretion when approving the amount and allocation of each element of the total compensation package.
Base Salary
The Company provides the named executive officers with a base salary, which is comprised of a fixed amount of annual cash compensation. Base salary is a principal and common component of compensation for all employees
128
Table of Contents
of the Company. In setting base salaries for the named executive officers, the Committee considers a number of factors, including the executive’s prior salary history, current compensation levels, individual performance, and marketplace competitiveness for executive officers.
The Committee considers changes to base salaries for the named executive officers on an annual basis. There are no formulaic increases, and there have been no increases to base salaries for the named executive officers since fiscal year 2004. During the fiscal year 2006, the Company appointed a new Chief Financial Officer, and determined the amount of his base salary at that time.
Performance-Based Incentive Compensation
The Company believes that a significant portion of executive compensation should be directly related to the Company’s overall financial performance, stock price performance and other relevant financial factors that affect stockholder value. Accordingly, the Company sets goals designed to link executive compensation to the Company’s overall performance and reserves the largest potential compensation awards for performance-based and incentive-based programs, which include both cash and equity awards.
Performance Targets
The current executive incentive plan allows executive officers to receive bonus compensation in the event certain specified corporate performance measures are achieved. The total potential bonus for each of the named executive officers is calculated as a percentage of each individual’s base salary. The performance measures for determining bonuses are tied directly to the Company’s annual revenue and net income, and are approved by the Board of Directors based on projections and information provided by Executive Management. During the first quarter of 2006, Executive Management presented a financial plan to the Board, which included estimates and projections of the Company’s financial performance, including targets for annual revenue and net income for the 2006 fiscal year. The Board approved this financial plan, which served as the basis for the performance targets used by the Committee during 2006 for certain elements of executive compensation, as described below.
The executive incentive plan takes into account both “minimum thresholds” and “target levels” for potential bonus awards tied to the Company’s performance. In determining the bonus compensation awarded to each executive officer, the incentive plan sets a threshold level of both revenue and net income that must be attained before any incentives are awarded. The annual revenue and net income factors are weighted equally for purposes of determining bonus calculations.
The Committee also sets target bonus levels tied to the Company’s performance beyond the minimum thresholds to determine the actual amount of performance based awards for each executive officer. If the Company does not satisfy the predetermined minimum thresholds, the executive officers are not eligible to receive any bonus compensation. For example, during the fiscal years 2004 and 2005, no bonuses were paid to the named executive officers. In the event minimum threshold performance levels are exceeded, but applicable target levels are not achieved, the executive officers will earn proportional awards linked to the Company’s performance. The proportional awards for the cash portion of bonus compensation are subject to formulaic accelerators and decelerators, so that overachievement and underachievement of the target levels have a multiplier affect. For example, if the applicable target levels are exceeded, the executive officers may earn bonuses that exceed their target cash bonuses by a factor of the percentage exceeding the target levels. On the other hand, if the applicable target levels are not met, the actual cash bonuses are lower than the target bonus by a factor of the percentage difference between the target level and the actual levels of revenue and net income.
During the first quarter of 2006, the Committee approved the 2006 executive incentive plan, and determined the total potential bonus compensation for each of the named executive officers. The total revenue and net income target levels approved by the Board of Directors for fiscal year 2006 were designed so that they could only be attained upon strong performance by the Company as a whole and each of our executive officers individually. Absent strong Company and individual performance, the Committee does not believe the 2006 fiscal year
129
Table of Contents
revenue and net income threshold performance levels were attainable, in which case no annual bonuses would have been payable. Upon completion of the fiscal year, the Committee assessed the performance of the Company for each corporate financial objective by comparing the actual fiscal year results to the pre-determined target levels for each objective. During the first quarter of 2007, the Committee determined that the total revenue and net income targets established by the Board of Directors were achieved.
Incentive amounts to be paid under the performance-based programs may be adjusted by the Committee to account for unusual events such as extraordinary transactions, asset dispositions and purchases, and mergers and acquisitions if, and to the extent, the Committee does not consider the effect of such events indicative of Company performance. Payments under the executive incentive plan are contingent upon continued employment, and are at the discretion of the Committee.
Annual Performance-Based Cash Compensation
The total target bonus for the 2006 fiscal year for the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer were 100%, 90%, 70% and 40% of his annual base salary, respectively. The actual bonus may be less or greater than the target bonus depending on the level of achievement compared to the pre-determined target levels as described above. The Committee believes that the payment of this portion of the annual incentive bonus provides incentives necessary to retain executive officers and reward them for short-term Company performance.
For fiscal 2006, the executive incentive program consisted of both a cash component and a restricted stock component. The executive officers were given the option to elect to receive up to 50% of the targeted bonus in shares of restricted stock of the Company in lieu of cash.
The actual cash awards in 2006 reflect a combination of the target awards and the Company’s performance during the year. Awards of cash bonuses made to the named executive officers in the first fiscal quarter of 2007 for performance in fiscal year 2006 are reflected in column (d) of the Summary Compensation Table on page 134.
Annual Performance-Based Equity Compensation
The annual incentive bonus program is comprised of a cash component and an equity component, consisting of an election of restricted stock with short-term vesting. To encourage stock ownership and align the executive’s interests with stockholders, the executive officers may elect to receive up to fifty percent (50%) of their bonus in the form of restricted stock. In the event an executive officer elects to receive restricted stock in lieu of a cash bonus payment, the value of the restricted stock the executive officer receives is increased by an additional ten percent (10%) of the cash bonus value in order to offset the potential for forfeiture of the restricted stock in the event the officer terminates employment prior to vesting. The restricted stock portion of the bonus was subject to a right of forfeiture, which lapsed since the Company achieved the minimum thresholds for performance during the 2006 fiscal year. However, if the target performance levels were not met during the 2006 fiscal year, the restricted stock would have been subject to forfeiture.
For the fiscal year 2006, the Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer elected to receive 50% of their target bonus in the form of restricted common stock, and the Chief Financial Officer elected to receive 35% of his target bonus in the form of restricted common stock. The Committee believes that the payment of this portion of the annual incentive bonus in restricted stock provides incentives necessary to retain executive officers and reward them for short-term Company performance.
Individual awards under this component were made under the Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”) and were paid in restricted stock that vested on March 15, 2007.
Awards made to the named executive officers on March 15, 2007 for performance in 2006 is reflected in column (e) of the Summary Compensation Table on page 134.

Long-Term Performance-Based Equity Incentive Program
As indicated by its performance-based approach to compensation, the Company believes that equity ownership in the Company is critical to closely align the interests of executive officers with those of our stockholders, and thereby promote incentives to achieve sustained, long-term revenue growth and profitability. To meet these objectives, the Company’s named executive officers are eligible to receive additional grants of performance-based equity compensation upon achieving the same performance criteria described above.
These equity awards are subject to a right of repurchase by the Company, which lapses if the Company meets pre-determined, threshold performance levels and specific performance target levels each tied to total revenue and net income, as determined by the Board each year, as mentioned above. If the Company does not achieve the financial targets specified by the Board, then the restrictions on vesting will remain in place until the threshold financial targets or plans have been met. To the extent vesting has been deferred because the Company had not yet met the financial targets for such fiscal year, upon the achievement of such financial targets, the shares will vest as if the Company had achieved the threshold financial targets as of the 2006 fiscal year. Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting schedule, the repurchase rights will terminate on March 15, 2013.
Individual awards under this component were made under the 2004 Plan and the repurchase right will lapse over a four-year service vesting period in equal installments assuming the financial targets are met, and the restricted stock entitles the holder to receive dividends in an amount per restricted share, both vested and non-vested, equal to the dividends per share paid on the Company’s common stock. A portion of the restricted common stock vested on March 15, 2007, and the remaining portion is subject to forfeiture in the event employment is not continued and the financial targets are not met.
In addition to restricted stock awards, during the 2006 fiscal year, the Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer each received stock option grants, of which 25% vested after the first year, with the remaining portion of the stock option vesting at a rate of 2.5% monthly. Stock options require the officers to exercise, or pay the Company the exercise price in order to acquire the stock. As such, the Company believes that the stock option awards create an incentive for management to achieve key strategic and financial performance goals of the Company, thereby increasing the Company’s stock price, and furthering the interests of the Company’s stockholders. As noted above, the Company does not apply a formulaic approach to determine the amount and allocation of stock option grants as compared to other elements of compensation.
Please see the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table on page 138 for restricted stock awards and stock options granted to the named executive officers during 2006.
Discretionary Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards
The Company’s executive officers may receive an annual award of stock options or restricted stock grants, at the discretion of the Committee. Guidelines for the number of stock options and restricted stock awards granted to each executive officer are determined and approved by the Committee, based upon several factors, including the executive officer’s salary grade, individual’s performance, the Company’s performance and the value of the stock option at the time of grant. As a result, additional grants other than the annual award may be made in the event there are significant changes in the performance of the Company or the individual executive during the evaluation period. The Committee considers the same factors as described throughout this discussion when evaluating these long-term discretionary equity awards.
With the exception of the performance-based equity awards granted to the named executive officers described above, which have a four-year vesting schedule, stock options granted under the various stock plans generally have a three and a half year vesting schedule in order to provide an incentive for continued employment and generally expire seven years from the date of the grant. This provides a reasonable time frame in which to align the executive officer with the price appreciation of the Company’s stock, while managing the potential dilution to stockholders more effectively, as compared to a more typical ten-year option term. The Company intends to set
131
Table of Contents
the exercise price of options granted under the Company’s stock plans equal to 100% of the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant.
Deferred Compensation
The named executive officers may not defer any component of any annual incentive bonus earned at this time.
Defined Contribution Plans
The Company maintains a Section 401(k) Savings/Retirement Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) for the benefit of eligible employees of the Company and any designated affiliate. The 401(k) Plan permits eligible employees of the Company and any designated affiliate to defer up to 60% of their annual compensation, subject to certain limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. The employees’ elective deferrals are immediately vested and non-forfeitable upon contribution to the 401(k) Plan. The Company currently makes matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan in an amount equal to fifty cents for each dollar of participant contributions, up to a maximum of four percent of the participant’s annual salary and subject to certain other limits. The amount contributed by the Company vests at a rate of 25% per year. All employees of the Company, including the named executive officers, are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan.
Defined Benefit Plans
The Company does not have any defined benefit plans.
Severance Arrangements
Each named executive officer has entered into a three (3) year employment agreement with the Company, subject to automatic one-year renewals if not terminated by either party, which provide for severance benefits under certain events, such as a termination without cause or the executive leaves for good reason. The employment agreements are designed to promote stability and continuity of senior management.
In addition, the Company recognizes that the possibility of a change of control may exist from time to time, and that this possibility, and the uncertainty and questions it may raise among management, may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its stockholders. Accordingly, the Board has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of the Company’s management to their assigned duties without the distraction that may arise from the possibility of a change of control. As a result, the employment agreements include provisions relating to the payment of severance benefits under certain circumstances in the event of a change of control. In order for severance benefits to be triggered, a change of control must take place and an executive must be involuntarily terminated without cause or the executive must leave for good reason within 24 months after a change of control. During 2006, the Committee approved the employment agreements, which contain the severance benefits described below. The Committee considered information provided by Executive Management, and used its discretion when approving each element and amount of the potential severance benefits payable to the named executive officers.
Information regarding applicable payments under such agreements for the named executive officers is provided under the heading “Potential Payments Upon a Termination or a Change of Control” and “Employment Agreements” below on pages 135-137.
Other Elements of Compensation and Perquisites
Our named executive officers have the opportunity to participate in a number of benefits programs that are generally available to all regular U.S. employees. These benefits include:
| • | Healthcare Plans—includes medical benefits, dental benefits, behavioral health program, vision and Health Care Spending Account, onsite wellness programs and wellness centers/fitness centers. |
132
Table of Contents
| • | Life and Disability Plans— includes group life insurance, business travel accident insurance and short-term and long-term disability income plans. |
| • | Investing Plans— includes the 401(k) Plan and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. |
| • | Work/ Life Plans— includes programs that assist with daily needs such as childcare, adoption assistance, dependent care account and long-term care insurance. |
The Company also provides the Chief Executive Officer and the President with an automobile allowance during the term of his employment with the Company, as the Company in its sole discretion may from time to time make available.
Tax Considerations
Deductibility of Executive Compensation
As part of its performance-based compensation program, the Company aims to compensate the named executive officers in a manner that is tax effective for the Company. In practice, some of the annual compensation delivered by the Company is tax-qualified under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax deduction to public corporations for compensation over $1 million paid for any fiscal year to each of the corporation’s chief executive officer and the four other most highly compensated executive officers as of the end of the fiscal year. However, Section 162(m) exempts qualifying performance-based compensation from the deduction limit if certain requirements are met. Although the Committee considers the impact of Section 162(m) when developing and implementing executive compensation programs, the Committee believes that it is important and in the best interests of stockholders to preserve flexibility in designing compensation programs. Accordingly, the Committee has not adopted a policy that all compensation must qualify as deductible under Section 162(m). The Committee has from time to time approved, and may in the future approve, compensation arrangements for certain officers that are not fully deductible. Further, because of ambiguities and uncertainties as to the application and interpretation of Section 162(m) and the regulations issued thereunder, no assurance can be given, notwithstanding the Committee’s efforts, that compensation intended to satisfy the requirements for deductibility under Section 162(m) does in fact do so.
Taxation of “Parachute” Payments
Section 280G and related sections under the Internal Revenue Code provide that executive officers, directors who hold significant stockholder interests and certain other service providers could be subject to significant additional taxes if they receive payments or benefits in connection with a change in control of the Company that exceeds certain limits, and that the Company or our successor could lose a deduction on the amounts subject to the additional tax. We did not provide any named executive officer with a gross-up or other reimbursement for tax amounts the executive might pay pursuant to Section 280G during fiscal 2006 and we have not agreed and are otherwise not obligated to provide any executive officer with such a gross-up or related reimbursement.
Compensation Recovery Policy
The Company does not have a policy to seek the reimbursement of cash bonus awards paid to an executive officer if such executive engages in misconduct that caused or partially caused a restatement of financial results. However, as previously disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with Securities and Exchange Commission on June 29, 2007, a Special Committee of the Board of Directors recommended certain remedial actions in connection with the Company’s investigation of its historical stock option practices which included the repayment of certain amounts by certain current and former directors and executive officers of the Company.

The employment agreements, each effective as of August 1, 2006, have an initial term of three years and will automatically renew for additional one year periods unless terminated by either party upon sixty days written notice prior to the expiration of the agreement. Each Executive’s employment with the Company is at-will and either party may terminate the employment relationship at any time for any reason, with or without cause and with or without notice.
The employment agreements provide for the payment of an annual base salary of $570,000 to Guy Gecht; $510,000 to Fred Rosenzweig; $350,000 to Joseph Cutts; and $265,000 to John Ritchie. As of the date of this Annual Report, Mr. Cutts is no longer an officer or employee of the Company.
Each employment agreement also provides, among other provisions, that:
| • | the Executive shall be eligible for bonuses under the annual management bonus plan as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors; |
| • | the Executive is eligible to receive stock options under the Company’s stock option program and additional equity awards based on the Executive’s performance; |
| • | in the event prior to or within two years following a change in control the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without cause or the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment for good reason, the Executive is eligible for severance benefits consisting of salary continuation, a pro-rata bonus, employer subsidized health benefit continuation under COBRA and outplacement services; |
| • | if the Executive becomes entitled to receive severance, the vesting of the Executive’s unvested stock options and equity awards shall either partially or fully accelerate and the post-termination exercise period for stock options shall be extended; |
| • | if the Executive is required to pay tax penalties under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in connection with his receipt of the severance benefits, the Company shall pay the Executive a gross up payment to hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any such penalties; and |
| • | the Executive is subject to a non-solicitation covenant during his employment and for one year following termination of employment. |
Retention Agreements (Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control)
The section below describes the potential payments that may be made to our named executive officers upon termination or a change of control, pursuant to their employment agreements or otherwise.
The tables below estimate amounts that could be realized and/or payable to our named executive officers assuming certain events as of December 31, 2006, using the closing sales price of our common stock on such date ($26.58), and assuming the named executive officers could have exercised stock options and sold such underlying shares.

The compensation of the non-employee directors serving on the Board of Directors is determined by the Compensation Committee.

The Company also reimburses each non-employee member of the Board of Directors for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings.
Equity Compensation
During 2006, each of the outside members of the Board of Directors was granted an option to purchase 25,000 shares of stock at an exercise price of $26.90 vesting with respect to 25% of the shares on March 15, 2007, and thereafter with respect to an additional 2.5% of the shares each month thereafter, with full vesting in 42 months. Any new outside director that joins the Board of Directors will receive an option to purchase 40,000 shares of stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. All options expire at the end of seven years. Each of the outside members of the Board of Directors was also granted an equity award of performance-based restricted Common Stock under the Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. Each non-employee director was granted a restricted stock award of 6,000 shares of Restricted Common Stock. The unvested Restricted Common Stock is subject to a repurchase right of the Company, which lapses upon the achievement by the Company of financial targets specified by the Board each fiscal year during the vesting term. If the Company does not achieve the financial targets specified by the Board each fiscal year, then the restrictions on vesting will remain in place until the financial targets have been met. To the extent vesting has been deferred because the Company had not yet met the financial targets for such fiscal year, upon the achievement of such financial targets, the shares will vest as if the Company had achieved the financial targets since the 2006 fiscal year. However, the repurchase rights terminate in any event on March 15, 2013.

Item 13: Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Indemnification of Officers and Directors
As permitted under Delaware law, pursuant to our bylaws, charter and indemnification agreements that we have entered into with our current and former executive officers and directors, we are required, subject to certain limited qualifications, to indemnify our executive officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the executive officer or director is, or was serving, at our request in such capacity. The indemnification period covers all pertinent events and occurrences during the executive officer’s or director’s lifetime. Our indemnification obligations generally extend to the derivative shareholder suits and Nasdaq delisting proceedings described in this filing. In this regard, we have received, and expect to receive, requests for indemnification by certain current and former executive officers and directors in connection with the review of our historical stock option granting practices and the related restatement, related government inquiries and derivative shareholder suits described herein. The maximum potential amount of future payments we may be obligated to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, we have director and officer insurance coverage that limits our exposure and may enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.
Related Transactions
The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors has the responsibility of reviewing and approving in advance any proposed related party transactions as defined under Item 404 of Regulation S-K during 2006.
The Company has entered into employment agreements with its named executive officers. See Item 11 Executive Compensation. There were no other related transactions as defined under Item 404 of Regulation S-K during 2006.
Director Independence
The Board of Directors has determined that each of the non-employee directors is independent and that each director who serves on each of its committees is independent, as the term is defined by rules of The Nasdaq Global Select Market and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(b) | Audit related fees consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of Electronics for Imaging’s consolidated financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.” These services include accounting consultations in connection with acquisitions, attest services that are not required by statute or regulation, and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. |

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has considered whether provision of the services described in sections (b), (c) and (d) above is compatible with maintaining the independent auditors’ independence and has determined that such services have not adversely affected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s independence. All of the services of each of (b), (c), and (d) were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
