NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Balance sheet information as of January 31, 1996 was
derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial
statements. All other information is unaudited, but in the
opinion of management, includes all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present
fairly the results of the interim period. The results of
operations for the quarter ended October 31, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the
entire year. All financial information included herein has been
restated to reflect the combined operating results and financial
position of both Sigma Designs and Active Design Corporation
(Active Design) in connection with the merger transaction described
in Note 4, below.
This report on form 10-Q should be read in conjunction
with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements
for the year ended January 31, 1996 and notes thereto
included in the Form 10-K Annual Report previously filed
with the Commission.
2. Inventories consisted of the following:
October 31, 1996 January 31, 1996
(In thousands)
Finished goods $1,384 $1,497
Work-in process 2,050 1,524
Raw materials 3,023 2,477
Less reserves (2,454) (3,454)
---------- ----------
Total inventories $ 4,003 $2,044
=========== ==========
3. Net income (loss) per share was based on the weighted
average common shares and dilutive common share equivalents.
Common equivalent shares were excluded in periods with
losses as they were anti-dilutive. The increase in the number of
shares for the periods ended October 31, 1996 was due to the common
share equivalents of outstanding options, the shares issued in a private
placement completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996 and the shares
issued in the acquisition of Active Design completed in the second
quarter of fiscal 1997.
4. On May 3, 1996, the Company completed its merger with Active
Design in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests.
Active Design's primary activity since inception on May 17, 1995
has been the development of semiconductor chips for use in PC
graphics applications and the establishment of relationships with
potential OEM customers. The pooling-of-interests method of accounting
requires the Company to report financial results as though the
transaction had occurred at the beginning of all periods presented.
Accordingly, the Company's financial information for all periods
reflects the combined financial position and results of operations
of both companies.
Item 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company had net income of $1,062,000 ($0.09 per share) on net
sales of $12,727,000 for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 1996
compared to a net loss of $1,522,000 ($0.20 per share) on net
sales of $6,210,000 for the same quarter in the prior year. The financial
results of the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 1996 were also a
significant improvement over the immediate prior fiscal quarter ended
July 31, 1996 in which the Company reported net income of $349,000
($0.03 per share) on net sales of $10,078,000 million.
Sales of multimedia chipsets represented 58% of net sales as compared
with 21% for the same quarter last year which is consistent with
the Company's plans to focus on chipset and OEM sales. Sales to one
domestic customer accounted for 11% of net sales while sales to two
international customers accounted for 23% each of net sales respectively
in the quarter ended October 31, 1996. The Company's international sales
represented 64% of net sales in the quarter ended October 31, 1996 as
compared with 75% in the comparable quarter of the prior year. Sales for
the quarter ended October 31, 1996 also included some sales of graphics
chips that were developed by Active Design.
The Company's gross margin as a percentage of net sales for the quarter
ended October 31, 1996 increased to 35.4% from 31.9% reported in the
same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily due to a
change in product mix, particularly, to chipset sales which have higher
profit margins.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $128,000 (7.7%) as compared
to the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease was due to
the Company's continued emphasis on chipset and OEM sales and less focus
on retail channels which require more advertising, promotion and trade
show expenses. Research and development expenses, remained relatively
consistent with the prior year, decreased by $81,000 (6.4%) as compared
to the same period of last year. General and administrative expenses
increased by $176,000 (31.7%) as compared to the same corresponding period
of the prior year. The increase in general and administrative costs
included the expenses related to the SEC stock registration for Active
Design's shareholders and also reflected higher technical recruiting
expenses.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company had cash and short term investments of $12.9 million
at October 31, 1996, as compared with $ 15.6 million at January 31,
1996. The Company's primary sources of funds to date have been
cash generated from operations, proceeds from previous stock
offerings and bank borrowings under lines of credit. The Company
believes that its current cash and short term investments reserve
combined with the availability of funds under its existing cash
and asset-based banking arrangements will be sufficient to satisfy
its needs for the next twelve months. Beyond the next twelve months,
the Company believes that to the extent it does not generate
positive cash flow from operations that it may have to raise
additional capital through either public or private offerings of
its common stock or from additional bank financing.
FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS
The Company's quarterly results have been in the past and may be in
the future vary due to a number of factors, including but not limited
to new product introduction by the Company and its competitors;
market acceptance of the Company's products such as the Explorer chipset
for used with notebook computers, the REALmagic 2D/3D graphic chips;
shift in demand for the Company's products; gains or losses of significant
customers; reduction in selling prices; inventories obsolescence; an
interrupted or inadequate supply of semiconductor chips; the Company's
inability to protect its intellectual properties or a loss of key personnel.
Any unfavorable change in the foregoing or other factors could have
a material effect on the Company's business, financial and results
of operations.
Due to the factors noted above, the Company's future earnings and
stock price may be subject to significant volatility, particularly
on a quarterly basis. Past financial performance should not be
considered a reliable indicator of future performance and investors
should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends of
future periods. Any shortfall in revenue or earnings from the level
anticipated by security analysts could have an immediate and
significant adverse effect on the trading price of the Company's
common stock in any given period. Additionally, the Company may
not learn of such shortfall until late in a fiscal quarter, which
could result in even more immediate and adverse effect on the trading
price of the Company's common stock. Further, the Company operates
in a highly dynamic industry which often results in volatility of
the Company's common stock price.
