Introduction
OPTi Inc. a California corporation (“OPTi” or the “Company”), was founded in 1989, as an independent supplier of semiconductor products to the personal computer (“PC”) and embedded marketplaces.
From inception through 1995, OPTi’s principal business was its core logic products for desktop personal computers and the Company employed as many as 235 employees over the years. However, in time, OPTi faced increasingly tight competition from companies with substantially greater financial, technical, distribution and marketing resources. During February 1999, the Company completely ceased further development of core logic products, although OPTi continued to ship such products to customers up to September 2002. From 1995 through 2005, the Company’s annual net sales declined from $163.7 million in 1995 to $52,000 in 2005.
In September 2002, the Company sold its product fabrication, distribution and sales operations to Opti Technologies, Inc., an unrelated third party, and the Company ceased manufacturing, marketing and sales operations. However, the Company believes that certain of its patented technology is in widespread unlicensed use and the Company has been engaged in perfecting its intellectual property position, investigating unlicensed use of its technology and developing and validating a strategy to pursue product licenses from unlicensed users. In January 2004, the Company signed an engagement letter with a major law firm to assist the Company in its attempts to license its technology. The Company engaged a second law firm in November 2004 to assist with additional cases beyond the nVidia Corporation litigation.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company received its final payment of royalty revenue in connection with the sale of its operations to Opti Technology, Inc. Currently, the Company is pursuing revenue through the pursuit of licenses from users of its intellectual property. The Company does not expect to receive additional significant revenue other than any that may result through the pursuit of its patent infringement cases and associated licensing efforts. The Company has accordingly reduced its operating personnel and expenses to minimum levels.
OPTi holds substantially all of its liquid assets in cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of financing its efforts to pursue licenses and claims relating to its intellectual property. The Company has no current intention of investing or trading in securities.

Industry Background
During the last decade, the PC industry has grown rapidly as increased functionality combined with lower pricing has made PC’s valuable and affordable tools for business and personal use.
The trend to higher performance, lower cost personal computers has been accompanied by a variety of changes in the market for personal computers and the technologies used to address these emerging market requirements. The consumer and home office sectors have become the fastest growing sectors of the PC market, driven, in part, by the emergence of low-cost multimedia computers and peripherals.
These changes in the PC market and technology directly affect the market for core logic chipsets. The primary customer base for chipsets has shifted significantly to major PC manufactures and to the suppliers to these leading OEM customers, in contrast to prior periods in which motherboard manufacturers and system integrators represented the largest portion of the market for core logic chipsets. Large OEMs require increasingly higher levels of product integration, thus enabling them to reduce parts count and control total product costs.
Growth has continued in the PC market as computer and consumer electronics industries have converged, combining increased multimedia and communications capabilities. Today’s systems increasingly offer more powerful microprocessors, highly integrated chipsets, integrated video, stereo sound, highspeed fax and modem communications and DVD.
OPTi believes that the existing technology used in current generations of core logic chipsets may be infringing some of the patented technology that the Company had developed.
Strategy
Pursue Infringement Claims for Proprietary Chipset Technologies
The Company’s current strategy is to pursue licensing opportunities as a means of resolving potential infringement of its proprietary intellectual property in the core logic area. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2000, the Company entered into a one-time licensing arrangement for $13,311,000 on the core logic technology that the Company had developed during its existence. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2004, the Company also entered into a one-time license arrangement for $425,000 on its patented technology. The Company believes that there may be additional companies that may be infringing its patents. The Company is actively working to explore all possible arrangements to settle such infringements.
On October 19, 2004, the Company announced that it has filed a complaint against nVidia Corporation (“nVidia”), in the Eastern District of Texas, for infringement of five U.S. patents relating to its “Predictive Snooping” chipset technology. See“Item 3—Legal Proceedings” below. The “Markman” hearing pursuant to which the court will interpret OPTi’s patent claims in light of its complaint against nVidia is currently scheduled to commence on March 28, 2006. Note, however, that court dates are often subject to delay. The nVidia case itself is an important part of the Company’s strategy for pursuing its patent infringement claims and its outcome will have a significant effect on the Company’s intellectual property licensing efforts.
The Company, in the future, may also try to acquire or license additional intellectual property that it believes it can pursue licensing opportunities with potential infringers of that intellectual property.
Research and Development
As of June 14, 2005, the Company had no research and development employees. During 2005, 2004 and 2003 the Company had no research and development expenses.
At this time the Company is not engaged in any research and development activity.

Intellectual Property
The Company seeks to protect its proprietary technology by the filing of patents. The Company currently has thirty-four issued U.S. patents based on certain aspects of the Company’s designs. The Company currently has two pending U.S. patents for its technology, and there can be no assurance that the pending patents will be issued or, if issued, will provide protection for the Company’s competitive position.
The Company has been and may from time to time continue to be notified of claims that it may be infringing patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights owned by other third parties. There can be no assurances that these or other companies will not in the future pursue claims against the Company with respect to the alleged infringement of patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights. In addition, litigation may be necessary to protect the Company’s intellectual property rights and trade secrets, to determine the validity of and scope of the proprietary rights of others or to defend against third party claims of invalidity. Any litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company has entered into license agreements in the past regarding certain alleged infringement claims asserted by third parties. There can be no assurance that additional infringement, invalidity, right to use or ownership claims by third parties or claims for indemnification resulting from infringement claims will be asserted in the future. If any other claims or actions are asserted against the Company, the Company may seek to obtain a license under a third party’s intellectual property rights. There can be no assurance, however, that a license will be available under reasonable terms or at all. The failure to obtain a license under a patent or intellectual property right from a third party for technology used by the Company could cause the Company to incur substantial liabilities and adversely affect the Company’s pursuit of its own patent infringement claims. In addition, should the Company decide to litigate the claims, such litigation could be extremely expensive and time consuming and could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, regardless of the outcome of the litigation.
Factors Affecting Earnings and Stock Price
Trading of OPTi Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board
Our common stock is currently traded over-OTC Bulletin Board. Some investors may be less likely to invest in stocks that are not traded on recognized national markets and listing services such as Nasdaq. Therefore, investors in our common stock may experience reduced liquidity when attempting to trade shares of our common stock.
Dependence on Intellectual Property Position
The success of the Company’s current strategy of resolving potential infringement of its patented core logic technology can be affected by new developments in intellectual property law generally and with respect to semiconductor patents in particular and upon the Company’s success in defending its patent position. It is difficult to predict developments and changes in intellectual property law. However, such changes could have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to pursue infringement claims on its previously developed technology.
Uncertain Revenue Stream
Royalty payments from Opti Technologies, Inc., an unrelated third party to whom the Company sold rights to its product lines in September 2002 were completed during the first quarter of 2005 when OPTi received the remaining $52,000 of revenue from the agreement. No further revenue is expected from Opti Technologies, Inc. and the Company’s future revenues, if any, depend on the success of our strategy of pursuing license claims to our intellectual property position.

Table of Contents
Although the Company has commenced legal action and continues to pursue license revenues relating to the unauthorized use of its intellectual property, there can be no assurances whether or when revenues will result from the pursuit of such claims.
In addition, the Company’s focus on pursuing claims related to its intellectual property position can result in one time payments that may increase revenues during a single fiscal period but may not be repeated in future periods. For example, in the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2003, the Company reached a settlement of certain claims and counterclaims with National Semiconductor that included, among other things, a one time cash payment to the Company. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company will not receive future payments from National Semiconductor. Consequently, settlements of these claims will cause our operating results to fluctuate from period to period and revenues that we may receive from such a settlement should not be viewed as indicative of future trends in our operating results.
Outcome of nVidia Legal Action
On October 19, 2004, the Company announced that it had filed a complaint against nVidia, in the Eastern District of Texas, for infringement of five U.S. patents relating to its “Predictive Snooping” and “Compact ISA” chipset technology. See“Item 3—Legal Proceedings” below. The “Markman” hearing pursuant to which the court will interpret OPTi’s patent claims in light of its complaint against nVidia is currently scheduled to commence on or about March 2006. The outcome of the Markman hearings are often dispositive of the outcome of an entire patent litigation case. The nVidia action itself is an important part of the Company’s strategy for pursuing its patent infringement claims relating to its Predictive Snooping technology. Consequently, the outcome of the Markman hearing and that of the nVidia case itself is an important part of the Company’s strategy for pursuing its patent infringement claims and the Company’s ability to realize licensing revenue from its Predictive Snoop patents will be severely impaired if the litigation is not successful.
Fluctuations in Operating Results
The Company has experienced significant fluctuations in its operating results in the past and expects that it will experience such fluctuations in the future. In the past, these fluctuations have been caused by a variety of factors including increased competition, price competition, changes in customer demand, ability to continue to sale existing products, inventory adjustments, changes in the availability of foundry capacity, changes in the mix of products sold and litigation expenses. In the future, the Company’s operating results will largely be dependent on its ability to generate revenue from its pursuit of license and patent infringement claims.
Limited Trading Volume
Daily trading volume in our shares has varied from zero to over one million shares during the last two years. Therefore, investors in our stock may find liquidity in our shares to be limited and difficult to predict.
Possible Volatility of Stock Price
There can be no assurances as to the Company’s operating results in any given period. The Company expects that the trading price of its common stock will continue to be subject to significant volatility.
Employees
As of March 31, 2005, the Company had one full-time and two part-time general and administration employees. The Company’s employees are not represented by any collective bargaining unit, and the Company has never experienced a work stoppage. The Company’s ability to retain key employees is a critical factor to the Company’s success.

Item 2. | Properties |
The Company is headquartered in Mountain View, California, where it leases administrative facilities in one location consisting of an aggregate of approximately, 2,700 square feet. The lease on this building expires in April 2007. The Company believes that these facilities are adequate for its needs in the foreseeable future.
Item 3. | Legal Proceedings |
On October 19, 2004, the Company announced that it has filed a complaint against nVidia Corporation (“nVidia”), in the Eastern District of Texas, for infringement of five U.S. patents. The five patents at issue in the lawsuit are U.S. patent No. 5,710,906, U.S. patent No. 5,813,036, U.S. patent No. 6,405,291, all entitled “Predictive Snooping of Cache Memory for Master-Initiated Acesses”, U.S. patent No. 5,944,807 and U.S. patent No. 6,098,141, both entitled “Compact ISA-Bus Interface.”
The complaint alleges that nVidia infringes the patents by making, selling, and offering for sale products based on and incorporating Predictive Snooping technology and the Low Pin Count Interface Specification in various of its products and inducing and contributing to the infringement of the patents by others. OPTi has requested a jury trial in this matter.
The Company in its case against nVidia is seeking damages or other monetary relief, including pre-judgment interest and awarding OPTi’s attorney fees.
The Company from time to time has been notified of claims that it may be infringing patents, maskwork rights, or copyrights owned by third parties. There can be no assurance that the Company will not become involved in litigation regarding the alleged infringements by the Company of third party intellectual property rights.
Item 4. | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders |
OPTi shareholders voted on two proposals at the Company’s Annual Meeting of shareholders, which was held on April 14, 2005.
Proposal 1 was to re-elect all four of the Company’s directors to serve as members of the OPTi Board of Directors for the ensuing year and until their successors are duly elected; and
Proposal 2 was to ratify and approve the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as independent accountants of OPTi Inc. for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2005.

Item 7. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Information set forth in this report constitutes and includes forward looking information made within the meaning of Section 27A of the Security Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including the Company’s ongoing efforts to enforce its intellectual property rights including its current litigation efforts, the willingness of the parties it believes are infringing its patents to settle its claims against them, the amount of litigation costs the Company must incur in pursuing its patent infringement claims, the degree to which technology subject to the Company’s intellectual property rights is used by other companies in the personal computer and semiconductor industries and our ability to obtain license revenues from them, changes in intellectual property law in such industries and in general and other matters. Readers are encouraged to refer to “Factors Affecting Earnings and Stock Price”.
OPTi was founded in 1989 as an independent supplier of semiconductor products to the personal computer market. During fiscal 2003, the Company sold its product fabrication, distribution and sales operations to Opti Technologies, Inc., an unrelated third party. As a result of this transaction all future revenues for the Company are expected to be generated through royalties or from the licensing of the Company’s intellectual property. The Company received approximately $52,000 of royalties during the first quarter of fiscal 2005 from Opti Technologies, Inc. and does not expect to receive additional significant revenue other than through the pursuit of its patent infringement cases and associated licensing efforts.
The Company’s current strategy is to pursue licensing opportunities as a means of resolving potential infringement of its proprietary intellectual property in the core logic area. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2000, the Company entered into a one-time licensing arrangement for $13,311,000 on the core logic technology that the Company had developed during its existence. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2004, the Company also entered into a one-time license arrangement for $425,000 on its patented technology. The Company believes that there may be additional companies that may be infringing its patents. The Company is actively working to explore all possible arrangements to settle such infringement.
On October 19, 2004, the Company announced that it has filed a complaint against nVidia Corporation (“nVidia”), in the Eastern District of Texas, for infringement of five U.S. patents relating to its “Predictive Snooping” and “Compact ISA” chipset technology. See“Item 3—Legal Proceedings” above. The “Markman” hearing pursuant to which the court will interpret OPTi’s patent claims in light of its complaint against nVidia is currently scheduled to commence on or about March 28, 2006. Note, however, that court dates are often subject to delay. The nVidia case itself is an important part of the Company’s strategy for pursuing its patent infringement claims and its outcome will have a significant effect on the Company’s ability to realize ongoing licensing revenue through its intellectual property licensing efforts.
Critical Accounting Policies
General. Our discussions and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, 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.

Table of Contents
We believe that, of the significant accounting policies used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements (see Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), the following are critical accounting policies, which may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.
Litigation and Contingencies. From time to time, we receive various inquiries or claims in connection with patent and other intellectual property rights. We estimate the probable outcome of these claims and accrue estimates of the amounts that we expect to pay upon resolution of such matters, if needed. Should we not be able to secure the terms we expect, these estimates may change and may result in losses.
2005 Compared to 2004—Net sales for the year ended March 31, 2005 (“2005”) decreased 95% to $52,000, compared to net sales of $1.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2004 (“2004”). This decrease in net sales was attributable to decreased license revenue from Opti Technology, who reached the maximum licensing revenue of $1.5 million, under the licensing agreement, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2005 versus a full year of license revenue in fiscal year 2004. No further revenue is expected from Opti Technologies, Inc. and the Company’s future revenues depend on the success of our strategy of pursuing license claims on our intellectual property position.
Gross margin for 2005 and 2004 was 100%. This gross margin is attributable to the Company’s revenue in 2005 and 2004 relating entirely to license revenue, which had no associated costs.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for 2005 were $1.5 million as compared to $1.1 million for 2004. This represented an approximate 36% increase in SG&A expenses year over year. This increase was primarily related to increased costs associated with the litigation against nVidia. The Company anticipates that SG&A expenses will increase in fiscal 2006, as it spends more on legal fees in pursuit of licensing its intellectual property.
Net interest and other income for 2005 was $0.2 million as compared to $0.4 million in 2004. The reduction in net interest and other income in 2005 as compared to 2004 was primarily due to a gain of $0.3 million in 2004 relating to the sale of Tripath Technologies, Inc. stock, offset, in part by, an increase in interest income due to higher interest rates during fiscal year 2005.
During fiscal year 2005 the Company recorded a one-time tax benefit of $75,000 relating to the resolution of certain tax contingencies. The Company’s effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate in 2004 primarily due to the utilization of prior year tax losses carried forward.
2004 Compared to 2003—Net sales for the year ended March 31, 2004 (“2004”) decreased 66% to $1.1 million, compared to net sales of $3.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2003 (“2003”). This decrease in net sales was mainly attributable to the Company having no product sales in 2004 versus $2.2 million in 2003. This decrease in product sales was attributable to the sale of the operating business to Opti Technologies, Inc., an unrelated third party, in September 2002.
Gross margin for 2004 was 100% as compared to approximately 58% in 2003. This increase in gross margin is attributable to the Company’s revenue in 2004 relating entirely to license revenue as compared to the majority of its sales in 2003 being attributable to product sales.
The Company had no research and development (“R&D”) expenses for 2004 or 2003.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for 2004 were $1.1 million as compared to $1.9 million for 2003. This represented an approximate 40% decrease in SG&A expenses year over year. This decrease was primarily related to the reduction in employee related costs and legal expenses.
Net interest and other income for 2004 was $0.4 million as compared to $1.7 million in 2003. The reduction in net interest and other income in 2004 as compared to 2003 was primarily due to a realized gain of $1.5 million in 2003 relating to the distribution of the Tripath Technologies, Inc. shares in May 2003.

The Company’s effective tax rate was 0% for 2004 and a tax benefit of 10% in 2003. The Company’s effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate in 2004 and 2003 primarily due to the utilization of prior year tax losses carried forward.
Liquidity and Capital Resources— In 2005, the Company used approximately $1.1 million in operating activities primarily due to the operating loss of the Company. In 2004, the Company provided cash from operations of approximately $0.2 million primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable of $0.1 million and decreases in prepaid expenses and other assets and accrued expenses totaling $0.1 million.
The Company had insignificant investing activities during 2005. The Company’s investing activities provided cash of approximately $0.3 million during 2004. The cash provided in investing activities was attributable to sales of the remaining shares that the Company held in Tripath Technology, Inc. in December 2003.
As of March 31, 2005, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents of approximately $14.5 million and working capital of approximately $14.3 million. The Company believes that the existing sources of liquidity will satisfy the Company’s projected working capital and other cash requirements through at least the next twelve months.

Interest Rate Sensitivity
We maintain our cash and cash equivalents primarily in money market funds. We do not have any derivative financial instruments. As of March 31, 2005, all of our investments mature in less than one month. Accordingly, we do not believe that our investments have significant exposure to interest rate risk.

Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer along with our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
(b) There have been no significant changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation referenced in paragraph (a) above.
We intend to review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures on an ongoing basis and to improve our controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that we may discover in the future.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
OPTi Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of OPTi Inc. as of March 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2005. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such opinion. An audit also 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.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of OPTi Inc., at March 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company OPTi Inc., a California corporation, is engaged in pursuing licensing opportunities as a means of resolving potential infringement of its proprietary intellectual property in the core logic area.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. At March 31, 2005 and 2004 substantially all cash and cash equivalents consisted of money market accounts.
Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts using enacted tax rates in effect for the year the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be recognized.
Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from two to five years.
Revenue Recognition Revenue from royalty arrangements is recognized when earned and when collectibility is probable. The Company recognized product sales upon transfer of title, which typically was upon shipment and provided for an allowance for the estimated return of product.
Stock-Based Compensation We generally have granted stock options to our employees for a fixed number of shares with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of the grant. As permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“FAS 123”) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure” (“FAS 148”), we have elected to follow the intrinsic value method of accounting as defined by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations in accounting for stock awards to employees. Accordingly, no compensation expense is recognized in our financial statements in connection with employee stock option awards where the exercise price of the award is equal to the fair market value of the stock at the date of the award. When stock options are granted with an exercise price that is lower than the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant, the difference is recorded as deferred compensation and amortized to expense on a graded basis over the vesting term of the options.

As required by FAS 148, the following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share if we had accounted for our stock option and stock purchase plans under the fair value method of accounting (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Pro forma diluted net income (loss) per share | $ | (0.10 | ) | $ | 0.03 | $ | 0.15 | ||||
Net Income (loss) per Share Basic net income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the reporting period. We have computed its weighted-average shares outstanding for all periods presented. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding using the treasury method. Potential dilutive common shares consist of outstanding stock options.
Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income includes net earnings as well as other comprehensive income. The Company’s other comprehensive income consists of unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities recorded net of tax.
Note 2—Shareholders’ Equity
Preferred Stock
The Board of Directors has authority to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges, qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series, without any further vote or action by the shareholders.
Stock Option Plans
Pro forma information regarding net income (loss) and income (loss) per share is required by SFAS 123 which also requires that the information be determined as if the Company has accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of the grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The fair value of the Company’s stock based awards to employees was estimated assuming no expected dividends and the following weighted-average assumptions:
2003 | |||
Expected Life | 4.8 years | ||
Expected volatility | 0.53 | ||
Risk Free Interest Rate | 2.90 | % |
The weighted average fair value of options granted under all employee stock option plans was $1.27 for the year ending 2003. No options were granted to employees during the past two fiscal years.

At March 31, 2005, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $14 million and $21 million, respectively, expiring in the years 2006 through 2024. At March 31, 2005, the Company had tax credit carryovers of approximately $3 million and $3.2 million for federal and state purposes, expiring in the years 2006 through 2020. In addition, the Company had federal alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of approximately $0.6 million that will not expire.
The tax benefit associated with the exercise of non-qualified stock options, disqualifying dispositions of stock options and shares acquired under the employee stock purchase plan created net operating losses of $1,798,000 in 1997. These benefits were fully reserved by a valuation allowance, and will be credited to paid in capital when realized.
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Accordingly, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance increased (decreased) $1.2 million, $4.7 million and $0.2 million during 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Note 6—Employee Benefit Plan
Savings Plan The Company has a savings plan, which qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the plan, participating U.S. employees may defer up to 15% of their pre-tax salary, but not more than the statutory limits. The Company currently matches fifty percent of employee contributions made to the savings plan. During 2005, 2004 and 2003, the amount of the Company contribution to the 401K plan was approximately $7,000, $7,000, and $11,000, respectively. Administrative costs of the plan are immaterial.
