DIGI INTERNATIONAL INC.
FORM 10-K
Year ended September 30, 1996
PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Digi International Inc. (the "Company") was formed in 1985 and is a leading
producer of data communications hardware and software products that deliver
solutions for multiuser environments, remote access markets both LAN and
WAN, and the LAN connect market.
The Company's multiuser products connect terminals, PCs running terminal
emulation software, and other serial devices, to a PC-based host. This
pathway enables users to share the processing power of a single host
computer. These products are ideal for companies-or work groups within
companies-that need easy, low-cost system management and high performance
at the lowest cost per user. These products are ideal for point-of-sale
applications, on-line transaction processing, factory automation, dial-
in/dial-out connections and data dissemination.
The Company's multiuser solutions support from one to 224 high-speed serial
ports through a single expansion slot or as many as 1,792 ports through a
single host (eight expansion slots). In addition to maximizing the
capabilities of a multiuser system by enabling hundreds of users to be
connected to a system, an equally important benefit is the product's
ability to quickly and accurately transmit data, eliminating the
information bottlenecks that result when multiple users or devices share
one processing unit.
5
In 1994, the Company adopted a strategy to move into two growth areas,
which were compatible with its existing product line, by entering into the
remote access and LAN connect markets. The Company's remote access
products address the need to connect telecomuters and branch offices to
corporate LANs, other branches, other individuals through server-centric
(hard port) and stand alone product solutions (soft port and
internetworking solutions). Only the Company has solutions for each
portion of this large and fast growing market. The Company entered the
stand alone solution market with the acquisition of Lan Access Corporation
in September 1995 in a cash transaction of approximately $5.5 million.
The remote access product line was enhanced in 1996 by the opening of its
Huntsville research and development office, which designs both hardware and
software products and its Redmond, Washington facility which focuses solely
on NT Software related to ISDN.
The Company's ISDN products address the need for high-speed remote access
which is necessary for LAN-to-LAN (WAN) internetworking and for accessing
the Internet.
The Company entered the LAN connect market with its acquisition of MiLAN
Technology Corporation in November 1993. The Company's LAN connect group
provides cost-effective and power-efficient Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and
Token Ring networking products through three groups:
1) The original "physical layer" line of products that allow users
to easily build and expand networks using single and multiport
transceivers, converters, modular microhubs and modular repeaters.
2) Products based on the innovative FastPort line, which makes print
sharing convenient and affordable. The FastPort line includes the
industry's first multiprotocol network print server providing access
to any printer on an Ethernet or Token Ring network without the
inconvenience and expense of spooling through a workstation or server.
3) Network performance enhancement products, including the first
comprehensive family of physical layer connectivity solutions for Fast
Ethernet.
6
The Company's products are sold through a network of more than 168
distributors in the United States, Canada and 68 countries worldwide and
through OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) contracts.
Committed to the development and evolution of innovative connectivity and
networking solutions, the Company works closely with customers and
marketing partners to meet the changing needs of the communications and
networking marketplace.
The Company markets its products to a broad range of customers, including
major domestic and international distributors, system integrators, VARs and
OEMs. In July 1991, the Company opened a sales support office in Germany
to increase sales support to the European distribution network for its
multiuser products. In October 1993, the Company opened a sales support
office in Singapore to increase sales support to the Pacific Rim
distribution network for its products. In 1996, the Company opened similar
offices in Hong Kong, Australia and Japan.
To serve these markets, the Company (i) offers products that, in the
opinion of management, provide superior performance relative to current
standards and application requirements, (ii) provides products that are
compatible with a broad array of operating systems and microcomputer and
workstation architectures, and (iii) provides, in the opinion of
management, superior technical support, including frequent and timely
product updates and ready access to the Company's support staff.
7
The microcomputer industry is characterized by rapid technological advances
and evolving industry standards. The market can be significantly affected
by new product introductions and marketing activities of industry
participants. The Company competes for customers on the basis of product
performance in relation to compatibility, support, quality and reliability,
product development capabilities, price and availability. Many of the
Company's competitors and potential competitors have greater financial,
technological, manufacturing, marketing and personnel resources than the
Company. The Company believes that it is the market leader in the
multiuser market segment of the computer industry and is the leader in the
server centric portion of the remote access portion of that market. With
respect to the stand alone portion of the remote access market and the LAN
connect market, the Company believes it commands less than a 5% market
share.
The Company's manufacturing operations procure all parts and certain
services involved in the production of products. The Company subcontracts
most of its product manufacturing to outside firms that specialize in
providing such services. The Company believes that this approach to
manufacturing is beneficial because it permits the Company to reduce its
fixed costs, maintain production flexibility and maximize its profit
margins.
The Company's products are manufactured to its designs with standard and
semi-custom components. Virtually all of these components are available
from multiple vendors.
During fiscal years 1994, 1995 and 1996, the Company's research and
development expenditures were $9,833,859, $14,676,683, and $20,624,274
respectively.
8
Due to the rapidly changing technology in the computer industry, the
Company believes that its success depends primarily upon the engineering,
marketing, manufacturing and support skills of its personnel, rather than
upon patent protection. Although the Company may seek patents where
appropriate and has certain patent applications pending for proprietary
technology, the Company's proprietary technology or products are generally
not patented. The Company relies primarily on the copyright, trademark and
trade secret laws to protect its proprietary rights in its products. The
Company has established common law and registered trademark rights on a
family of marks for a number of its products.
Through September 30, 1996, the Company purchased $5.3 million in
secured convertible notes from AetherWorks Corporation, a development
stage company engaged in the development of wireless and dial-up remote
access technology. The Company is obligated to purchase up to an
additional $8.5 million secured convertible notes from time to time at
the request of AetherWorks, based on certain conditions. Secured
convertible notes held by the Company were convertible at September 30,
1996 into 52% of AetherWorks' common stock, and the purchase of $8.5
million additional principal amount of secured notes would increase the
Company's ownership portion upon conversion to 62.7%, based on
AetherWorks' present capitalization. Through September 30, 1996, the
Company has also guaranteed $1.1 million in lease obligations incurred
by AetherWorks. The Company has reported its investment in AetherWorks
on the equity method and has recorded a $3.6 million loss which
represents 100% of the AetherWorks' net loss for the year ended
September 30, 1996. The percentage of AetherWorks' losses included in
the Company's results of operations is based upon the percentage of
financial support provided by the Company (versus other investors) to
AetherWorks during fiscal 1996.
At September 30, 1996, the Company had 698 full-time employees.
9
During the year ended September 30, 1996, two customers comprised more than
10% of net sales: Tech Data at 13.9%, and Ingram Micro at 13.4%. For 1995,
two customers accounted for more than 10% of net sales: Ingram Micro at
12.5% and IBM at 11.7%. During 1994, one company (Ingram Micro) accounted
for 11.8% of net sales.
As of November 30, 1996, the Company had backlog orders which management
believed to be firm in the amount of $12.7 million. All of these orders
are expected to be filled in the current fiscal year. Backlog at November
30, 1995 was $11.3 million.
During fiscal years 1994, 1995 and 1996, the Company's net sales to
customers outside the United States, primarily in Europe, amounted to
approximately $28 million, $33 million and $39.9 million respectively.
