Harmonic Lightwaves 17 3 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS of Financial Condition and Results of Operations OVERVIEW Harmonic Lightwaves, Inc. ("Harmonic" or the "Company") is a worldwide supplier of highly integrated fiber optic transmission, digital headend and element management systems for the delivery of interactive services over broadband networks. The Company designs, manufactures and markets optical transmitters, nodes, receivers, digital video compression and modulation equipment and element management hardware and software.These products are used by major communications providers, such as cable television operators, in bi-directional networks. From its inception in June 1988 through 1991, the Company was principally engaged in development of its first optical transmitter and optical receiver products and began shipment of its initial products in late 1991. Subsequently, the Company commenced development of additional fiber optic products and began volume shipments of PWRLink transmitters in June 1994 and MAXLink 1550 nm transmission systems in June 1996. In March 1997, the Company announced the introduction of its TRANsend(TM) video and audio product family for digital broadband headends. This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under "Factors That May Affect Future Results Of Operations" below and elsewhere in this annual report. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth certain consolidated statement of operations data as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated: Year Ended December 31, 1996 1995 1994 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net sales 100% 100% 100% Cost of sales 54 54 64 -------------------------- Gross profit 46 46 36 Operating expenses: Research and development 15 16 18 Sales and marketing 16 15 23 General and administrative 6 5 7 -------------------------- Total operating expenses 37 36 48 -------------------------- Income (loss) from operations 9 10 (12) Other income (expense), net 1 1 (1) -------------------------- Income (loss) before income taxes 10 11 (13) Provision for income taxes -- -- -- -------------------------- Net income (loss) 10% 11% (13)% ========================== NET SALES The Company's net sales increased by 55% to $60.9 million in 1996.This growth in net sales was primarily attributable to higher unit sales of the Company's existing products, particularly the PWRLink transmitter and return path products. In addition, the Company began shipment of its 1550 nm MAXLink transmission system during the second quarter of 1996. These factors were partially offset by lower unit sales of the YAGLink optical transmitter and lower selling prices for certain products. Net sales increased by 115% to $39.2 million in 1995 from $18.2 million in 1994. This growth in net sales was due primarily to higher unit sales of the Company's Harmonic Lightwaves 18 4 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS of Financial Condition and Results of Operations principal products, particularly the PWRLink transmitter and return path products. Higher unit sales PWRLink transmitter in 1995 reflected a full year of shipments of the product, which began initial volume shipments in June 1994 and was sold only in nominal quantities prior to that time. Historically, the majority of Harmonic's net sales has been to relatively few customers, and Harmonic expects this customer concentration to continue in the foreseeable future. In 1996, sales to Tratec (the Company's U.K. distributor), Capella (the Company's Canadian distributor) and ANTEC Corporation ("ANTEC") accounted for 15%, 15% and 13%, respectively, of the Company's net sales. In 1995, sales to Tratec, ANTEC and Capella accounted for 22%, 15% and 15%, respectively, of the Company's net sales. In 1994, sales to ANTEC, Capella, Siemens, Tratec and Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. accounted for 22%, 15%, 14%, 12% and 12% of the Company's net sales. Harmonic has adopted a strategy of selling to major domestic customers through its own direct sales force and expects that domestic OEM and distributor revenues will be a smaller percentage of net sales in the future. In this regard, sales to ANTEC in the fourth quarter of 1996 constituted less than 10% of net sales, and are expected to be insignificant in the future. Sales to customers outside the United States represented 57%, 65% and 57% of net sales in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Harmonic expects international sales to continue to account for a substantial percentage of its net sales for the foreseeable future. GROSS PROFIT Gross profit increased to $27.7 million (46% of net sales) in 1996 from $17.9 million (46% of net sales) in 1995. The increase in gross profit was principally due to higher unit sales volume which allowed the Company to improve fixed cost absorption and realize increasing economies of scale through higher production and purchasing volumes, partially offset by lower selling prices for certain products. In addition, a more favorable product mix which included a higher percentage of transmitters also contributed to the increase in gross profit in 1996. Gross profit increased to $17.9 million (46% of net sales) in 1995 from $6.5 million (36% of net sales) in 1994.The gross profit growth was due principally to higher unit sales volume and increased efficiencies of a new manufacturing facility which commenced production in the first quarter of 1995. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development expenses increased to $9.2 million from $6.1 million in 1995, but decreased as a percentage of net sales from 16% to 15%, reflecting higher sales levels. The increase in spending related primarily to increased headcount, particularly at the Company's Israeli subsidiary, and increased use of outside subcontractors and consultants in Israel and in connection with the element management and 1550 nm MAXLink transmission system development programs. Research and development expenses increased to $6.1 million from $3.2 million in 1994, but decreased as a percentage of net sales from 18% to 16%, reflecting higher sales levels. The increase in research and development expenses in 1995 reflected increased headcount and use of outside subcontractors and consultants, and higher prototype material costs in conjunction with the development of the Company's 1550 nm MAXLink transmission system. Research and development expenses for 1996 and 1995 are net of grants from the BIRD Foundation of approximately $140,000 and $300,000, respectively. The Company anticipates that research and development expenses will continue to increase significantly, although they may vary as a percentage of net sales. SALES AND MARKETING Sales and marketing expenses increased to $9.8 million (16% of net sales) in 1996 from $5.8 million (15% of net sales) in 1995. The increase in sales and marketing expenses in 1996 was primarily attributable to higher headcount associated with expansion of the direct sales force and the customer service and technical support organizations, as well as higher promotional expenses and commissions to international sales representatives. Sales and marketing expenses increased to $5.8 million in 1995 from $4.1 million in 1994, but decreased as a percentage of net sales from 23% to 15%. The increase in sales and marketing expenses in Harmonic Lightwaves 19 5 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 1995 was principally due to increased commissions to international sales representatives and higher payroll and promotional costs. The Company expects that sales and marketing expenses will continue to increase significantly, although they may vary as a percentage of net sales. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE General and administrative expenses increased to $3.5 million (6% of net sales) in 1996 from $2.2 million (5% of net sales) in 1995. The increase in expenses was principally attributable to increased staffing and related costs of supporting the Company's growth, and to a lesser extent, to certain costs associated with being a public company. General and administrative expenses increased to $2.2 million in 1995 from $1.3 million in 1994, but decreased as a percentage of net sales from 7% to 5%, reflecting higher sales levels. The increase in general and administrative expenses in 1995 was due primarily to costs of supporting the Company's growth, and to a lesser extent to certain costs associated with being a public company. The Company expects to incur higher levels of general and administrative expenses in the future, although such expenses may vary as a percentage of net sales. OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) Interest and other income (expense) was $1.0 million in 1996 compared to $0.6 million in 1995. The increase in interest and other income in 1996 was principally due to interest earned on higher average cash balances in 1996 following closing of the Company's initial public offering (the "IPO") on May 30, 1995, and lower interest expense in 1996 as the Company repaid all capital leases and bank debt in 1995. Interest and other income (expense) was $0.6 million in 1995 compared to ($0.2) million in 1994. The income in 1995 was principally attributable to interest earned on cash balances, following the closing of the Company's IPO, partially offset by interest expense. The expense in 1994 was principally attributable to interest paid on capital lease obligations and on bank debt. INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes for 1996 and 1995 is based on an estimated annual tax rate of 5% resulting from federal and state alternative minimum taxes. This rate reflects estimated realization of deferred tax assets, primarily net operating loss carryforwards. In 1994, the Company had no income tax provision because of a net loss for the year. The Company had available federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $5.8 million at December 31, 1996. Under current tax law, the Company's utilization of its net operating loss carryforwards has been limited and in the future may be limited or impaired in certain circumstances resulting from a change in ownership.The Company expects to have an effective annual tax rate of 10%-15% in 1997 and a effective tax rate beyond 1997 that approximates statutory rates after full utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company completed the IPO in May 1995, raising approximately $24.2 million, net of offering costs. Prior to that, the Company satisfied its liquidity needs primarily from the net proceeds of private sales of Preferred Stock, and to a lesser extent, from capital equipment leases and bank borrowings. Cash provided by operations was approximately $0.3 million in 1996 compared to $2.3 million in 1995 and cash used in operations of approximately $5.3 million in 1994. The decrease in cash provided by operations in 1996 compared to 1995 was primarily due to higher accounts receivable and inventory to support increases in sales and production volumes, and prepayment of rents and deposits of $1.8 million in connection with the Company's new corporate headquarters, partially offset by higher net income, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The increase in cash provided by operations in 1995 compared to 1994 was primarily due to the Company's profitability in 1995 compared to an operating loss in 1994, partially offset by increased investments in inventories and receivables to support higher sales and production volumes. Harmonic Lightwaves 20 6 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Net working capital was approximately $34.2 million at December 31, 1996, including $16.4 million of cash and cash equivalents. During the third quarter of 1996, the Company renegotiated its bank line of credit, which now provides for up to $10.0 million in borrowings and expires in September 1997. The line of credit bears interest at the bank's prime rate or LIBOR plus 2.0%. There were no outstanding borrowings under this line during 1996. Additions to property, plant and equipment were approximately $6.7 million during 1996 compared to $3.9 million and $1.4 million in 1995 and 1994 respectively. The increase in 1996 was due principally to increased expenditures for manufacturing and test equipment resulting from higher demand for the Company's products, introduction of new products including the 1550 nm MAXLink transmission system, and leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures for the new facility. While the Company currently has no material commitments, it expects to spend approximately $5.0 million on capital expenditures in 1997, primarily for manufacturing and test equipment. The Company believes that its existing liquidity sources and anticipated funds from operations will satisfy its cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS POTENTIAL FLUCTUATIONS IN FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS The Company's operating results have fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate in the future, on an annual and a quarterly basis, as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside of the Company's control, including the level of capital spending in the cable television industry, changes in the regulatory environment, changes in market demand, the timing of customer orders, competitive market conditions, lengthy sales cycles, new product introductions by the Company or its competitors, market acceptance of new or existing products, the cost and availability of components, the mix of the Company's customer base and sales channels, the mix of products sold, development of custom products, the level of international sales and general economic conditions. The Company establishes its expenditure levels for product development and other operating expenses based on projected sales levels, and expenses are relatively fixed in the short term. Accordingly, variations in timing of sales can cause significant fluctuations in operating results. In addition, because a significant portion of the Company's business is derived from orders placed by a limited number of large customers, the timing of such orders can also cause significant fluctuations in the Company's operating results. If sales are below expectations in any given quarter, the adverse impact of the shortfall on the Company's operating results may be magnified by the Company's inability to adjust spending to compensate for the shortfall. DEPENDENCE ON KEY CUSTOMERS AND END USERS Historically, a substantial majority of the Company's sales have been to relatively few customers. Sales to the Company's ten largest customers in 1996, 1995 and 1994 accounted for approximately 72%, 80% and 88%, respectively, of its net sales. Due in part to the consolidation of ownership of domestic cable television systems, the Company expects that sales to relatively few customers will continue to account for a significant percentage of net sales for the foreseeable future. Harmonic has adopted a strategy to sell to major domestic customers through its own direct sales force and expects that domestic OEM and distributor revenues will be a smaller percentage of net sales in the future. In this regard, net sales to ANTEC in the fourth quarter of 1996 were less than 10% of net sales, and are expected to be insignificant in the future. Substantially all of the Company's sales are made on a purchase order basis, and none of the Company's customers has entered into a long-term agreement requiring it to purchase the Company's products. The loss of, or any reduction in orders from, a significant customer would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and operating results. Harmonic Lightwaves 21 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS of Financial Condition and Results of Operations DEPENDENCE ON CABLE TELEVISION INDUSTRY CAPITAL SPENDING To date, substantially all of the Company's sales have been derived, directly or indirectly, from sales to cable television operators. Demand for the Company's products depends to a significant extent upon the magnitude and timing of capital spending by cable television operators for constructing, rebuilding or upgrading their systems. The capital spending patterns of cable television operators are dependent on a variety of factors, including access to financing, cable television operators' annual budget cycles, the status of federal, local and foreign government regulation of telecommunications and television broadcasting, overall demand for cable television services, competitive pressures (including the availability of alternative video delivery technologies such as satellite broadcasting), discretionary customer spending patterns and general economic conditions. The Company believes that the consolidation of ownership of domestic cable television systems, by acquisition and system exchanges, together with uncertainty over regulatory issues, particularly the debate over the provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, caused delays in capital spending by major domestic MSOs during the second half of 1995 and first quarter of 1996. Although the Act became law in February 1996 and the Company believes that its provisions will result in increased capital expenditures in the telecommunications industry, there can be no assurance that capital spending by domestic MSOs will increase in the near future, or at all, or that Harmonic's sales will benefit. In addition, cable television capital spending can be subject to the effects of seasonality, with fewer construction and upgrade projects typically occurring in winter months and otherwise being affected by inclement weather. HIGHLY COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY The market for cable television transmission equipment is extremely competitive and has been characterized by rapid technological change. Most of the Company's competitors are substantially larger and have greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than the Company. Many of such large competitors are in a better position to withstand any significant reduction in capital spending by cable television operators. In addition, many of the Company's competitors have more long standing and established relationships with domestic and foreign cable television operators than does the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully in the future or that competition will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and operating results. RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE The market for the Company's products is relatively new, making it difficult to accurately predict the market's future growth rate, size and technological direction. In view of the evolving nature of this market, there can be no assurance that cable television operators, telephone companies or other suppliers of broadband services will not decide to adopt alternative architectures or technologies that are incompatible with the Company's products, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and operating results. The broadband communications markets are characterized by continuing technological advancement. To compete successfully, the Company must design, develop, manufacture and sell new products that provide increasingly higher levels of performance and reliability. As new markets for broadband communications equipment continue to develop, the Company must successfully develop new products for these markets in order to remain competitive. For example, to compete successfully in the future, the Company believes that it must successfully develop and introduce products that will facilitate the processing and transmission of digital signals over optical networks. While the Company has announced and demonstrated initial products for digital applications, there can be no assurance that the Company will successfully complete development of, or successfully introduce, products for digital applications, or that such products will achieve commercial acceptance. In addition, in order to successfully develop and market its planned products for digital applications, the Company may be required to enter into technology development or licensing agreements with third parties. Although many companies are often willing Harmonic Lightwaves 22 8 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS of Financial Condition and Results of Operations to enter into such technology development or licensing agreements, there can be no assurance that such agreements will be negotiated on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. The failure to enter into technology development or licensing agreements, when necessary, could limit the Company's ability to develop and market new products and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and operating results. The failure of the Company to successfully develop and introduce new products that address the changing needs of the broadband communications market could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and operating results. In addition, there can be no assurance that the successful introduction by the Company of new products will not have an adverse effect on the sales of the Company's existing products. For instance, an emerging trend in the domestic market toward narrowcasting (targeted delivery of advanced services to small groups of subscribers) is causing changes in the network architectures of some cable operators. This may have the effect of changing the Company's product mix toward lower price transmitters, which could adversely affect the Company's gross margins. SOLE OR LIMITED SOURCES OF SUPPLY Certain components and subassemblies necessary for the manufacture of the Company's products are obtained from a sole supplier or a limited group of suppliers. The reliance on sole or limited suppliers and the Company's increasing reliance on subcontractors involve several risks, including a potential inability to obtain an adequate supply of required components or subassemblies and reduced control over pricing, quality and timely delivery of components or subassemblies. The Company does not maintain long-term agreements with any of its suppliers or subcontractors. An inability to obtain adequate deliveries or any other circumstance that would require the Company to seek alternative sources of supply could affect the Company's ability to ship its products on a timely basis, which could damage relationships with current and prospective customers and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and operating results. The Company believes that investment in inventories will constitute a significant portion of its working capital in the future. As a result of such investment in inventories, the Company may be subject to an increasing risk of inventory obsolescence in the future, which would materially and adversely affect its business and operating results. RISKS OF INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS Sales to customers outside of the United States in 1996, 1995 and 1994 represented 57%, 65% and 57% of net sales, respectively, and the Company expects that international sales will continue to represent a substantial portion of its net sales for the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company has an Israeli subsidiary that engages primarily in research and development. International operations are subject to a number of risks, including changes in foreign government regulations and telecommunications standards, export license requirements, tariffs and taxes, other trade barriers, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, difficulty in collecting accounts receivable, difficulty in staffing and managing foreign operations and political and economic instability. While international sales are typically denominated in U.S. dollars, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could cause the Company's products to become relatively more expensive to customers in a particular country, leading to a reduction in sales or profitability in that country. Payment cycles for international customers are typically longer than those for customers in the United States. There can be no assurance that foreign markets will continue to develop or that the Company will receive additional orders to supply its products for use in foreign broadband systems.

Harmonic Lightwaves 27 13 NOTES to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Harmonic Lightwaves, Inc. (the "Company") is a worldwide supplier of highly integrated fiber optic transmission, digital headend and element management systems for the delivery of interactive services over broadband networks. The Company operates in one industry segment. See Note 9 for geographic information and information regarding sales to significant customers. REINCORPORATION AND REVERSE STOCK SPLIT The Company originally incorporated in California in June 1988. In May 1995, the Company reincorporated in Delaware. In conjunction with the reincorporation, all outstanding shares of the predecessor California company were exchanged into common stock of the Delaware company in a one-for-three reverse stock split. All applicable share and per share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and balances have been eliminated. The Company's fiscal quarters end on the Friday nearest the calendar quarter end. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Actual results could differ from these estimates. CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company's investments are classified as held-to-maturity. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is generally recognized upon shipment of product. A provision for the estimated cost of warranty is recorded at the time revenue is recognized. INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, using the weighted average method, or market. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method based upon the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from two to ten years, or the lease term of the respective assets, if applicable. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with high quality financial institutions and are invested in short-term, highly liquid investment grade obligations of government and commercial issuers, in accordance with the Company's investment policy. The investment policy limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution or commercial issuer. The Company's accounts receivable are derived from sales to cable television operators and distributors as discussed in Note 9. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, and provides for expected losses but to date has not experienced any material losses. At December 31, 1996, receivables from three customers represented 20%, 17% and 11%, respectively, of accounts receivable. At December 31, 1995, receivables from two customers represented 32% and 19%, respectively, of accounts receivable. Harmonic Lightwaves 28 14 NOTES to Consolidated Financial Statements FOREIGN CURRENCY The functional currency of the Company's subsidiary is the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency translation gains and losses, which have not been material to date, are included in the statement of operations. 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 financial statement reported amounts under the provisions of Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS No. 109"), which has been applied for all periods presented. ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION The Company's stock-based compensation plans are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." In January 1996, the Company adopted the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS No. 123"). NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE Net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares consist of Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (using the if converted method), and stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method). Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive except that, pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, common equivalent shares relating to stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method and the initial public offering price) issued from April 1, 1994 through the Company's initial public offering ("IPO") have been included in the computation for all periods presented through the Company's IPO even if anti-dilutive. The net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 1994, is pro forma. RECLASSIFICATION Certain amounts in prior years' financial statements and related notes have been reclassified to conform to the 1996 presentation. These reclassifications are not material. NOTE 2: CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company had the following amounts in cash and cash equivalents, with original maturity dates of three months or less. Realized gains and losses for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the difference between gross amortized cost and estimated fair value at December 31, 1996 and 1995 were immaterial.

There were no outstanding borrowings under the line at December 31, 1996 or 1995. NOTE 5: CAPITAL STOCK INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING In May 1995,the Company completed its initial public offering ("IPO") of 2,600,000 shares of common stock, 600,000 of which were sold by existing stockholders, at a price of $13.50 per share. Net proceeds to the Company were approximately $24.2 million, after underwriter commissions and associated costs. Upon the closing of the IPO, all outstanding shares of Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock automatically converted into 7,094,748 shares of Common Stock. Also effective with the closing of the IPO, the Company was authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, of which none were issued or outstanding at December 31, 1996 and 1995. COMMON STOCK WARRANTS In June 1994,the Company entered into a distribution agreement, in connection with which it issued a warrant to purchase up to 798,748 shares of Common Stock at $5.55 per share. The warrant had a fair value of $200,000, which was charged to results of operations in the second quarter of 1994. The warrants will become exercisable in June 1999 and expire at the earlier of six years from the date of issuance Harmonic Lightwaves 30 16 NOTES to Consolidated Financial Statements or the closing of a significant acquisition transaction, as defined in the warrant. Under certain conditions, the ability to exercise may be accelerated and the warrant may be exercisable as early as June 14, 1997. The Company has reserved 798,748 shares of Common Stock for issuance upon exercise of this warrant. In 1993, the Company issued a warrant to purchase up to 22,222 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.50 per share in conjunction with an equipment lease line facility. The fair value of the warrant was nominal, and the warrant expires at the earlier of seven years from the date of issuance or the merger or sale of the Company, meeting certain criteria. The Company has reserved 22,222 shares of Common Stock for issuance upon exercise of this warrant. NOTE 6: BENEFIT AND COMPENSATION PLANS STOCK OPTION PLANS In 1988, the Company adopted an incentive and non-statutory stock option plan (the "1988 Plan") for which 1,125,917 shares have been reserved for issuance. Following adoption of the 1995 Stock Plan (the "1995 Plan") at the effectiveness of the Company's IPO, no further grants have been, or will be, made under the 1988 Plan. Options granted under the 1988 Plan and the 1995 Plan are for periods not to exceed ten years. Exercise prices of incentive stock option grants under both plans must be at least 100% of the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant and for nonstatutory stock options must be at least 85% of the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant, all as determined by the Board of Directors. Under both plans, the options generally vest 25% at one year from date of grant, and an additional 1/48th per month thereafter. The Company has reserved 565,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the 1995 Plan. The following table summarizes activities under the Plans: Shares Available Stock Options Weighted Average For Grant Outstanding Exercise Price - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands, except exercise price) Balance at December 31, 1993 46 872 $ 0.38 Shares authorized 566 -- -- Options granted (373) 373 2.36 Options exercised -- (38) 0.35 Options canceled 60 (60) 1.11 ---- ----- ------ Balance at December 31, 1994 299 1,147 0.99 Shares authorized 351 -- -- Options granted (276) 276 11.98 Options exercised -- (252) 0.53 Options canceled 20 (20) 5.81 ---- ----- ------ Balance at December 31, 1995 394 1,151 3.65 Options granted (340) 340 12.70 Options exercised -- (208) 0.98 Options canceled 7 (48) 5.75 ---- ----- ------ Balance at December 31, 1996 61 1,235 6.52 ==== ===== ====== Harmonic Lightwaves 31 17 NOTES to Consolidated Financial Statements The following table summarizes information regarding stock options outstanding at December 31, 1996: Stock Options Outstanding Stock Options Exercisable ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- Number Weighted-Average Number Range of Outstanding at Remaining Weighted-Average Exercisable at Weighted-Average Exercise Prices December 31, 1996 Contractual Life (Years) Exercise Price December 31, 1996 Exercise Price - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands, except exercise price and life) $ 0.30 - 1.20 386 5.4 $ 0.41 372 $ 0.41 1.80 - 4.65 264 7.5 2.42 154 2.31 7.20 - 13.50 447 8.7 10.74 94 11.18 14.13 - 22.75 138 9.4 17.52 22 17.71 =================================================================================================================== 1,235 642 DIRECTOR OPTION PLAN Effective upon the IPO,the Company adopted the 1995 Director Option Plan (the "Director Plan") and reserved 50,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance thereunder. The Director Plan provides for the grant of nonstatutory stock options to certain nonemployee directors of the Company pursuant to an automatic, nondiscretionary grant mechanism. Grants of options to purchase 4,000 shares were made during 1996 under the Director Plan at exercise prices of $10.00 - $18.00. A grant of options to purchase 2,000 shares was made during 1995 under the Director Plan at an exercise price of $13.50. At December 31, 1996, options to purchase 6,000 shares were outstanding, of which 4,999 shares were exercisable. EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN Effective upon the IPO, the Company adopted the 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan") and reserved 200,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance thereunder. The Purchase Plan enables employees to purchase shares at 85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the beginning or end of each six month purchase period. The Purchase Plan is intended to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. 48,977 and zero shares were issued under the Purchase Plan during 1996 and 1995, respectively. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25. If compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation plans had been determined based on the fair market value at the grant dates, as prescribed in SFAS 123, the Company's net income and net income per share would have been as follows: 1996 1995 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands, except per share data) Net income: As reported $ 5,918 $4,121 Pro forma 4,859 3,674 Net income per share: As reported $ 0.52 $ 0.40 Pro forma 0.42 0.35 ------- ------- The fair value of each option grant, under the 1988 Plan, 1995 Plan and Director Plan were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions used for grants during 1996 and 1995: dividend yield of 0.0%; expected weighted average volatility of 47.5%; and expected weighted average lives of four years, during both years; and risk-free interest rates of 5.2% to 6.5% and 5.4% to 7.1% for options granted during 1996 and 1995, respectively. Harmonic Lightwaves 32 18 NOTES to Consolidated Financial Statements The fair value of the employees' purchase rights under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted average assumptions for 1996 and 1995: dividend yield of 0.0%; expected volatility of 47.5%; expected lives of two years during both years; and risk-free interest rates of 5.7% and 5.3% for 1996 and 1995, respectively. RETIREMENT/SAVINGS PLAN Effective April 1, 1992, the Company implemented a retirement/savings plan which qualifies as a thrift plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. This plan allows participants to contribute up to 20% of total compensation, subject to applicable Internal Revenue Service limitations. The Company may make discretionary contributions to the plan. To date, the Company has not made any contributions. NOTE 7: INCOME TAXES The Company incurred net operating losses in each year through December 31, 1994. Foreign income (losses) were not significant for all years presented. The provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 1996 consists of the following: December 31, 1996 1995 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands) Current: Federal $246 $174 Foreign 41 16 State 24 27 ---- ---- $311 $217 ==== ==== The income tax provision reconciles to the provision at the federal statutory rate as follows: December 31, 1996 1995 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands) Provision at statutory rate $ 2,118 $ 1,475 State taxes, net of federal benefit 16 18 Utilization of net operating loss carryovers (2,490) (2,052) Future benefits not currently recognized 429 567 Alternative minimum tax 162 116 Other 76 93 ------- ------- $ 311 $ 217 ======= ======= Deferred tax assets comprise the following: December 31, 1996 1995 1994 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands) Net operating loss carryovers $ 1,964 $ 3,960 $ 6,354 Research and development carryovers 2,112 1,396 1,396 Capitalized research and development costs 254 931 615 Reserves not currently deductible 1,187 574 422 Other 12 746 229 ------- ------- ------- Total deferred tax assets 5,529 7,607 9,016 Valuation allowance (5,529) (7,607) (9,016) ------- ------- ------- Net deferred assets $ -- $ -- $ -- ======= ======= ======= Harmonic Lightwaves 33 19 NOTES to Consolidated Financial Statements The deferred tax assets valuation allowance at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 is attributed to federal and state deferred tax assets. Management believes sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the realizability of these items such that a full valuation allowance has been recorded. At December 31, 1996, the Company had approximately $5,800,000 of net operating loss carryovers for federal tax reporting purposes available to offset future taxable income; such carryovers expire through 2009. Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of and the benefit from net operating losses and research and development credits that can be carried forward may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances. Events which may cause changes in the Company's net operating loss and research and development credit carryovers include, but are not limited to, a cumulative stock ownership change of greater than 50%, as defined, over a three year period. NOTE 8: RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT GRANT In accordance with an agreement signed with the Israel-U.S. Binational Industrial Research and Development Foundation ("BIRD") in December 1994, the Company will obtain grants for a research and development project amounting to 50% of the actual expenditures incurred on the project subject to a maximum of $560,000. The Company is not obligated to repay the grants regardless of the outcome of its development efforts; however, it is obligated to pay the BIRD royalties at the rate of up to 2%-5% of sales of any products or development resulting from such research, but not in excess of 150% of the grant. Grants earned of approximately $140,000, and $300,000 during 1996 and 1995, respectively, were offset against research and development expenses for the same period.The Company did not receive any funding and did not incur any significant expenditures on the project during 1994. NOTE 9: GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS Sales and purchase transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company has one manufacturing facility located in the United States.The Company has no significant assets located outside of the U.S. International net sales were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 1996 1995 1994 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands) Americas (excluding U.S.) $12,216 $ 8,281 $ 3,688 Europe 12,214 9,819 5,038 Asia 10,342 7,331 1,669 ------- ------- ------- $34,772 $25,431 $10,395 ======= ======= ======= The Company sells to a significant number of its end users through distributors.
