FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Unless the context otherwise requires, the term "3dfx" when used in this
Form 10-K ("Report") refers to 3dfx Interactive, Inc., a California corporation,
and its consolidated subsidiaries and predecessors. This Report contains some
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws.
When used therein, the words "expects," "plans," "believes," "anticipating,"
"estimates," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. Actual results and the timing of some events could differ materially
from those projected in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to
a number of factors, including without limitation those set forth under
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Discontinued Operations -- Risk Factors" below.
PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
3dfx developed high performance, cost-effective graphics chips, graphics
boards, software and related technology that enabled an interactive and
realistic 3D experience across multiple hardware platforms, but is now in the
process of winding up its business. As discussed below, on March 27, 2001,
3dfx's shareholders approved proposals to liquidate, wind up and dissolve 3dfx
pursuant to a plan of dissolution and to sell certain of its assets to Nvidia US
Investment Company ("Nvidia Sub"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nvidia
Corporation ("Nvidia"). 3dfx is continuing to wind up its affairs and dissolve.
3dfx was incorporated in the State of California in August 1994.
SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK FINANCING
On June 13, 2002, 3dfx entered into a Series B Preferred Stock Purchase
Agreement with SF Capital Partners Ltd. whereby SF Capital agreed to invest
between $25 and $35 million in 3dfx in exchange for shares of 3dfx's Series B
Preferred Stock (the "Series B Financing"). The amount of the investment will be
based on the sum at closing of 3dfx's fixed and determinable liabilities,
maximum reasonably known undeterminable liabilities and anticipated expenses
reasonably necessary to complete the liquidation, winding-up and dissolution of
3dfx. The agreement with SF Capital provides that once the amount of all of
3dfx's liabilities is determined, or if some liabilities are not determinable
then the maximum amount of all undetermined liabilities shall be reasonably
known to 3dfx and SF Capital, and subject to the satisfaction of certain other
specified conditions, then SF Capital will place the purchase price for the
shares of Series B Preferred Stock into escrow pending closing. The purchase
price will be released to 3dfx from escrow, and the closing of the Series B
Financing will occur, upon the satisfaction of conditions that 3dfx and SF
Capital specify in the escrow agreement. The number of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock of 3dfx issuable to SF Capital at closing will be equal to the
quotient derived by dividing (x) the sum of the investment amount and a
specified percent of the investment amount by (y) the average closing price of
Nvidia common stock for the five trading days preceding the closing. The
"specified percentage of the investment amount" referred to in the preceding
formula ranges from 25% to 40%, and varies based on the price of Nvidia common
stock preceding the closing (the higher the price of Nvidia common stock, the
higher the "specified percentage of the investment amount").
The Series B Preferred Stock will not be entitled to dividends, subject
to redemption or conversion, and will have no voting rights, but it will have
priority for payment upon the liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of 3dfx. If
3dfx is in the process of liquidating, dissolving or winding up, immediately
upon its receipt of 500,000 or more shares of Nvidia common stock, 3dfx shall
distribute to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, at 3dfx's election,
either (i) $90 cash per share of Series B Preferred Stock or (ii) one share of
Nvidia stock per share of Series B Preferred Stock (the "Liquidation
Preference"). In the meantime, the prior written consent of the holders of not
less than a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock is
required for 3dfx to make any dividends, distributions or redemptions on any
other securities, or for 3dfx to issue any debt or equity securities, or for
3dfx to enter into any merger, sale of shares of capital stock having voting
power with respect to 35% or more of its outstanding capital stock, or any
transaction in which all or substantially all of the assets of 3dfx are sold.
The holders of Series B Preferred Stock will have certain other rights designed
to protect their investment in 3dfx. The stock purchase agreement with SF
Capital is terminable if the funding amount exceeds the $35 million level or
falls under the $25 million level, if the Nvidia closing price is equal to or
less than $26, if the transaction fails to close within one year, if 3dfx is in
material default of the agreement or if the Nvidia common stock is delisted from
the Nasdaq National Market.
NVIDIA ASSET SALE TERMS
On December 15, 2000, 3dfx entered into an asset purchase agreement with
Nvidia and Nvidia Sub under which Nvidia Sub would acquire certain of 3dfx's
assets, including its core graphics processor assets. Under the terms of the
asset purchase agreement, Nvidia Sub agreed to pay 3dfx $70.0 million in cash
and 2,000,000 shares of registered Nvidia common stock (after giving effect to a
recent Nvidia stock split), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions
specified in the asset purchase agreement as described below. Upon signing the
asset purchase agreement, Nvidia Sub loaned to 3dfx $15.0 million in cash for
working capital.
The asset sale to Nvidia Sub was approved by 3dfx shareholders on March 27,
2001, and on April 18, 2001 substantially all of 3dfx's assets were sold to
Nvidia Sub. Upon closing, 3dfx received $55.0 million in cash, which amount was
net of repayment of the $15.0 million cash loan 3dfx received upon signing the
asset purchase agreement. In addition, under the terms of the asset purchase
1
agreement, 3dfx and Nvidia Sub caused the pending patent litigation between the
parties to be dismissed with prejudice. Under the terms of the asset purchase
agreement, 3dfx may receive part or all of a one-time post-closing cash payment
of up to $25.0 million upon its request if it is not in breach of the asset
purchase agreement, it has expended all or substantially all of the $70.0
million cash consideration in payment of its liabilities and determines in good
faith that (i) the remaining portion of the cash consideration previously
received by it is not sufficient to pay its remaining liabilities, and (ii) such
remaining liabilities could and would be satisfied if 3dfx received the
post-closing cash payment and applied it to the payment of such liabilities, and
if Nvidia Sub does not determine in good faith that the requested amount would
not permit 3dfx to pay in full its remaining liabilities. In the event that 3dfx
were to receive the post-closing cash payment, the 2,000,000 shares of Nvidia
common stock comprising the remaining consideration otherwise payable to 3dfx
under the asset purchase agreement will be reduced by the number of shares equal
to the quotient determined by dividing the amount of the post-closing cash
payment by $25. 3dfx made arrangements to obtain the Series B Financing because
it does not currently believe that it will satisfy all of the conditions to
receipt of the post-closing cash payment from Nvidia sub.
The 2,000,000 shares of Nvidia common stock will only become deliverable to
3dfx upon satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the asset purchase
agreement, including the completion of the winding up of the business of 3dfx
pursuant to 3dfx's plan of dissolution, and 3dfx's certification that (i) all
liabilities of 3dfx and its subsidiaries have been paid in full or otherwise
provided for and (ii) 3dfx has or will be validly dissolved. In the event the
remaining consideration from Nvidia is not paid, 3dfx will have to explore other
options, including filing for bankruptcy. The ultimate total value of the Nvidia
stock received by 3dfx, if any, is dependent on the number and market value of
shares received given the conditions described above.
LIQUIDATION, WINDING UP AND DISSOLUTION
On December 15, 2000, the board of directors of 3dfx also approved a plan
of dissolution and on March 27, 2001 this plan of dissolution was approved by
3dfx's shareholders. On March 30, 2001, 3dfx filed a certificate of election to
liquidate, wind up and dissolve with the California Secretary of State's office.
3dfx is proceeding to wind up its affairs and is no longer operating or
generating revenues in the normal course of business.
During the one-year period ending January 31, 2002 (fiscal 2002), 3dfx
substantially reduced its costs in order to conserve its resources. These
cost-cutting measures included the termination of virtually all employees,
reduction in leased space and other efforts to reduce non-essential expenses.
During this period, 3dfx also continued to liquidate its remaining assets,
negotiate with third parties for resolutions of various litigation matters that
would be agreeable to all parties involved, and to reach settlements with its
vendors in reduction of its accounts payable, as well as to reach mutually
satisfactory settlements with the lessors of its facilities and equipment
leases.
The 3dfx plan of dissolution provides for the liquidation of 3dfx's
remaining assets, the winding up of its business and operations, and its
dissolution. To the extent that there are any remaining assets after the payment
of, or the provision for the payment of 3dfx's and its subsidiaries' debts and
liabilities, 3dfx will distribute the Liquidation Preference to the holders of
the Series B Preferred Stock and any remaining assets will be distributed to its
common shareholders.
The plan of dissolution grants broad discretion and authority to 3dfx's
board of directors in the administration of the plan of dissolution, including
the engagement of employees and consultants to facilitate the dissolution of
3dfx, the provision for indemnification of 3dfx's directors and officers,
payment of all of its and its subsidiaries' debts and liabilities, establishment
of a liquidating trust and the determination of the timing and amount of
distributions. Further, the plan of dissolution authorizes 3dfx's board of
directors to do any and all things proper or convenient for the purpose of
winding up, settling and liquidating the affairs of 3dfx, and to take such
further actions and execute such documents as may in their judgment be necessary
or desirable in order to wind up expeditiously the affairs of 3dfx and complete
the liquidation thereof. In addition, the plan of dissolution provides that
3dfx's board of directors may amend the plan of dissolution, unless the board of
directors determines that such amendment would materially and adversely affect
shareholders' interests.
The actual amount and timing of, and record dates for, any distributions to
3dfx's common shareholders are not known at this time. These matters will be
determined in the sole discretion of the 3dfx board of directors or the trustees
of the liquidating trust, as the case may be, and will depend upon a variety of
factors, including whether and when the Series B Financing will close, whether
3dfx will be able to satisfy all conditions necessary to its receipt of the
shares of Nvidia stock provided for under the Nvidia asset purchase agreement,
the proceeds derived by 3dfx from the sale of its remaining assets, the ultimate
amount of known and unknown debts and liabilities of 3dfx and its subsidiaries
(including tax liabilities), the resolution of litigation, lease obligations and
other contingent liabilities, and the amount of liquidation-related expenses
that must be satisfied out of 3dfx's assets. Claims, liabilities and expenses
continue to accrue, and 3dfx anticipates that expenses for professional fees and
other expenses of liquidation will be significant. These expenses will reduce
the amount of the assets available for distribution to 3dfx common shareholders.
At this time, 3dfx cannot determine if there will be any assets remaining
after paying for, or providing for the payment of, 3dfx's liquidation expenses
and all of its and its subsidiaries' debts and liabilities, as well as the
distribution of the Liquidation Preference to the holders of the Series B
Preferred Stock. 3dfx believes that it will shortly be in a position to
voluntarily petition a California court to take jurisdiction over the final
steps of its winding up. In connection with this judicial process, 3dfx expects
that it will be able to
2
finally determine the total amount of its liabilities, including the maximum
amount of its undeterminable liabilities, and also expects that it will be able
to close the Series B Financing and satisfy the conditions to its receipt of the
shares of Nvidia stock. However, there can be no assurance as to the total
amount of 3dfx's liabilities or whether it will be able to close the Series B
Financing or satisfy the conditions to receiving the shares of Nvidia stock. If
any of these or other matters cannot be satisfactorily resolved, 3dfx will have
to explore other options, including filing for bankruptcy.
Because of the uncertainties as to the settlement amount of 3dfx's and its
subsidiaries' debts and liabilities, as well as the volatility in the market
price of Nvidia's stock, 3dfx cannot at this time determine the timing or amount
of distributions that may be made to its common shareholders, if any. Only if
there are assets remaining after the payment of all debts and liabilities, and
the distribution of the Liquidation Preference, will 3dfx common shareholders
receive a distribution of those assets.
Assuming the Series B Financing is closed, following 3dfx's receipt of
500,000 or more shares of Nvidia common stock, 3dfx will be obligated to
distribute the Liquidation Preference to the holders of the Series B Preferred
Stock in advance of any distribution to 3dfx's common shareholders. Assuming
3dfx continues to hold shares of Nvidia common stock after it has distributed
the Liquidation Preference, 3dfx may distribute shares of Nvidia common stock at
or about the time of its dissolution directly to its common shareholders, or it
may sell these shares in the open market or contribute the shares to a
liquidating trust for the benefit of 3dfx's common shareholders. Further, 3dfx
may elect to directly distribute shares of Nvidia common stock to some of its
common shareholders, while distributing an equivalent per share value in cash to
others who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional amount or small
number of shares of Nvidia common stock. At this time, 3dfx is unable to provide
specific information about the type or types of assets that 3dfx's common
shareholders may receive or what the value of those assets might be at the time
of distribution, if a distribution is made to 3dfx's common shareholders by 3dfx
or a liquidating trust at all.
The directors and officers of 3dfx will continue to oversee the
liquidation, winding up and dissolution of 3dfx. However, the board of directors
may determine that the use of a liquidating trust provides a better alternative
for completing the liquidation process. If the assets and liabilities of 3dfx
are to be transferred to a liquidating trust, a common shareholder distribution
may be made immediately prior to such transfer, or alternatively, any common
shareholder distributions would be made directly from the trust after the
satisfaction of all of 3dfx's and its subsidiaries' debts and liabilities.
Upon filing a certificate of dissolution with the California Secretary of
State's office or a California court entering an order declaring 3dfx to be
wound up and dissolved, the stock transfer books of 3dfx will be closed as of
the close of business on such date. Thereafter, no assignments or transfers of
3dfx common stock will be recorded.
PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
3dfx has sold substantially all of its intellectual property rights,
including but not limited to rights relating to patents, copyrights, trade
names, trade marks and domain names, to Nvidia Sub as part of the asset sale
that closed in April 2001. 3dfx and Nvidia Sub have entered into an agreement
whereby Nvidia Sub granted to 3dfx a non-transferable license to continue to use
the name "3dfx" solely in connection with the winding up of its operations.
EMPLOYEES
As of January 31, 2002, 3dfx had one employee, who was located in the
United States.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
3dfx leases approximately 77,805 square feet for its former headquarters in
one building in San Jose, California pursuant to a lease that expires on April
30, 2007, with an option to extend the lease for an additional five-year term.
3dfx is also currently leasing offices in Austin, Texas (27,179 square feet
expiring in August 2004). On April 19, 2002 3dfx reached a settlement with the
lessor of its Mexican manufacturing facility that provides for the termination
of the lease covering its 136,800 square foot manufacturing facility in Juarez,
Mexico, among other things. The foregoing facilities exceed 3dfx's operating
requirements and 3dfx is seeking to eliminate its lease obligations.
3
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
3dfx is a party to the following legal proceedings involving certain
collection matters against 3dfx. 3dfx does not dispute that certain amounts are
owed to the parties that are pursuing these collection matters, but is
attempting to seek resolution of payment terms that are mutually acceptable to
the parties involved in each of these matters. There can be no assurance that
such resolutions will be achieved.

In addition to these collection disputes, 3dfx is a party to litigation
filed February 23, 2001 by Worldcom, Inc. in Dallas County on an open account
for telephone services. The amount of damages stated in the petition was
$1,389,000 plus interest and attorney's fees. Trial is set for October 14, 2002.
3dfx disputes Worldcom's claims and intends to vigorously defend itself in this
matter.
3dfx is also involved in litigation filed against it in the 192nd District
Court on February 11, 2002 by Fortran Trust, 3dfx's lessor for its former
headquarters in San Jose, California. The landlord filed for breach of lease in
a tenant in possession action based on 3dfx's failure to pay rental amounts that
are delinquent. 3dfx is seeking to negotiate a settlement of its lease
obligations owed to Fortran Trust. The lessor also filed for and received from
the court a Writ of Attachment on March, 8, 2002. The lessor is presently
attempting to schedule a summary judgment hearing. Finally, a Default Judgment
was entered in favor of CarrAmerica, 3dfx's lessor for its offices in Austin,
Texas, on May 20, 2002 resulting from a lawsuit filed April 18, 2002 in the
261st Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas. In order to set aside the
default judgment, 3dfx would need to move for a new trial on or before June 19,
2002. If 3dfx does not seek a new trial by that time, the judgment becomes
final. At that time, CarrAmerica may take steps to enforce that judgment against
3dfx. 3dfx is seeking to negotiate a settlement of its lease obligations owed to
CarrAmerica.
3dfx may also be a party to various other lawsuits. Although the amount of
any liability that could arise with respect to these other proceedings cannot be
predicted accurately, 3dfx believes that any liability that might result from
these other claims will not have a material adverse effect on its financial
position.

On May 31, 2002, the last reported sale price of 3dfx's common stock on the
OTC Bulletin Board was $.24 per share. As of May 31, 2002, there were
approximately 505 holders of record of 3dfx's common stock.
DIVIDEND POLICY
3dfx has never declared or paid cash dividends on its capital stock.
However, assuming the closing of the Series B Financing, 3dfx will be obligated
to make a distribution of the Liquidation Preference to the holders of the
Series B Preferred Stock. In addition, under the terms of 3dfx's plan of
dissolution, the 3dfx board of directors is authorized to make a distribution to
common shareholders after paying or otherwise providing for all of 3dfx's
expenses of liquidation and its debts and liabilities. Such a distribution may
include cash and/or the distribution of shares of Nvidia common stock that may
be received by 3dfx under the terms of the Nvidia asset purchase agreement.
Because of the uncertainties as to the settlement amount of 3dfx's and its
subsidiaries' debts and liabilities and due to the volatility of the market
price of Nvidia stock, 3dfx cannot at this time determine the timing and amount
of cash or stock distributions that may be made to its common shareholders, if
any. Only if there are assets remaining after the payment of all debts and
liabilities and the distribution of the Liquidation Preference will 3dfx common
shareholders receive a distribution of those assets.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
The following selected financial data should be read in conjunction with
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Discontinued Operations" and the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and
the Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report.
On March 27, 2001 3dfx's shareholders approved a proposal to liquidate,
wind up and dissolve 3dfx pursuant to a plan of dissolution. 3dfx is proceeding
to liquidate and wind up its affairs and dissolve. Accordingly, all activities
of 3dfx as of and subsequent to March 27, 2001 are presented under the
liquidation basis of accounting. Under the liquidation basis of accounting,
assets are stated at their estimated net realizable values and liabilities are
stated at their anticipated settlement amount, if reasonably estimable. 3dfx's
consolidated statement of changes in net liabilities in liquidation for the
period from March 27, 2001 to January 31, 2002 is set forth below.

</Table>
As a result of the vote by 3dfx's shareholders on March 27, 2001 to approve
the proposal to liquidate, wind up and dissolve 3dfx pursuant to a plan of
dissolution, all activities of 3dfx prior to that date are presented as
discontinued operations in the selected financial data below.
Effective as of February 1, 1999, 3dfx changed its fiscal year from a
fiscal year beginning January 1 and ending December 31, to a fiscal year
beginning February 1 and ending January 31. References in this document to
"fiscal 2001" means the year ended January 31, 2001, to "fiscal 2000" means the
year ended January 31, 2000. The statement of discontinued operations data below
reflects the following:
o 3dfx took a $117.1 million charge for the impairment of goodwill
and other intangible assets. 3dfx's results of discontinued
operations for the year ended January 31, 2001 and financial
position at January 31, 2001 reflect the impact of this charge.
See Note 1 to Notes to Financial Statements for further
discussion of the impairment charge.
o 3dfx's merger with GigaPixel Corporation was consummated on July
21, 2000 and was treated as a purchase for financial reporting
and accounting purposes. 3dfx's results of discontinued
operations for the year ended January 31, 2001 and financial
position at January 31, 2001 reflect the impact of the GigaPixel
merger. See Note 3 to Notes to Financial Statements for further
discussion of the GigaPixel merger.
o 3dfx's merger with STB Systems, Inc., which was consummated on
May 13, 1999 and was treated as a purchase for financial
reporting and accounting purposes. 3dfx's results of discontinued
operations for the year ended January 31, 2000 and financial
position at January 31, 2000 reflect the impact of the STB
merger. See Note 2 to Notes to Financial Statements for further
discussion of the STB merger.
o In July 1998, 3dfx reached a settlement with Sega in conjunction
with a lawsuit which 3dfx filed against Sega in August 1997.
Fiscal 1998 includes a one-time recognition of income based in
the thousands on the settlement.
During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001, 3dfx recorded a charge of
$7.9 million for the write-down of inventory and a charge of $5.5 million for
the write-down of property and equipment. 3dfx also recorded a charge of $117.1
million for the impairment of goodwill and other intangibles during the fiscal
year ended January 31, 2001. In accordance with 3dfx's accounting policy, 3dfx
assessed impairment of its long-lived assets and determined that the carrying
amount of goodwill and other intangibles would not be recoverable due to the
deteriorating condition of its operations. The impairment loss was measured as
the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeded the estimated
fair value of the assets, as determined using the present value of expected
future cash flows.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties. 3dfx's actual results could differ materially from
those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of some factors
including those set forth under "-- Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Report.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
"Selected Consolidated Financial Data" and the Consolidated Financial Statements
and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Report.
OVERVIEW
3dfx developed high performance, cost-effective graphics chips, graphics
boards, software and related technology that enabled an interactive and
realistic 3D experience across multiple hardware platforms, but is now in the
process of winding up its business. As discussed below, on March 27, 2001,
3dfx's shareholders approved proposals to liquidate, wind up and dissolve 3dfx
pursuant to a plan of dissolution and to sell certain of its assets to Nvidia US
Investment Company ("Nvidia Sub"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nvidia
Corporation ("Nvidia"). 3dfx is continuing to wind up its affairs and dissolve.
Accordingly, all activities of 3dfx subsequent to March 27, 2001 are presented
on a liquidation basis in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Additionally, 3dfx's common stock was delisted from the NASDAQ National Market
effective May 16, 2001.
SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK FINANCING
On June 13, 2002, 3dfx entered into a Series B Preferred Stock Purchase
Agreement with SF Capital Partners Ltd. whereby SF Capital agreed to invest
between $25 and $35 million in 3dfx in exchange for shares of 3dfx's Series B
Preferred Stock (the "Series B Financing"). The amount of the investment will be
based on the sum at closing of 3dfx's fixed and determinable liabilities,
maximum reasonably known undeterminable liabilities and anticipated expenses
reasonably necessary to complete the liquidation, winding-up and dissolution of
3dfx. The agreement with SF Capital provides that once the amount of all of
3dfx's liabilities is determined, or if some liabilities are not determinable
then the maximum amount of all undetermined liabilities shall be reasonably
known to 3dfx and SF Capital, and subject to the satisfaction of certain other
specified conditions, then SF Capital will place the purchase price for the
shares of Series B Preferred Stock into escrow pending closing. The purchase
price will be released to 3dfx from escrow, and the closing of the Series B
Financing will occur, upon the satisfaction of conditions that 3dfx and SF
Capital specify in the escrow agreement. The number of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock of 3dfx issuable to SF Capital at closing will be equal to the
quotient derived by dividing (x) the sum of the investment amount and a
specified percent of the investment amount by (y) the average closing price of
Nvidia common stock for the five trading days preceding the closing. The
"specified percentage of the investment amount" referred to in the preceding
formula ranges from 25% to 40%, and varies based on the price of Nvidia common
stock preceding the closing (the higher the price of Nvidia common stock, the
higher the "specified percentage of the investment amount").
The Series B Preferred Stock will not be entitled to dividends, subject to
redemption or conversion, and will have no voting rights, but it will have
priority for payment upon the liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of 3dfx. If
3dfx is in the process of liquidating, dissolving or winding up, immediately
upon its receipt of 500,000 or more shares of Nvidia common stock, 3dfx shall
distribute to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, at 3dfx's election,
either (i) $90 cash per share of Series B Preferred Stock or (ii) one share of
Nvidia stock per share of Series B Preferred Stock (the "Liquidation
Preference"). In the meantime, the prior written consent of the holders of not
less than a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock is
required for 3dfx to make any dividends, distributions or redemptions on any
other securities, or for 3dfx to issue any debt or equity securities, or for
3dfx to enter into any merger, sale of shares of capital stock having voting
power with respect to 35% or more of its outstanding capital stock, or any
transaction in which all or substantially all of the assets of 3dfx are sold.
The holders of Series B Preferred Stock will have certain other rights designed
to protect their investment in 3dfx. The stock purchase agreement with SF
Capital is terminable if the funding amount exceeds the $35 million level or
falls under the $25 million level, if the Nvidia closing price is equal to or
less than $26, if the transaction fails to close within one year, if 3dfx is in
material default of the agreement or if the Nvidia common stock is delisted from
the Nasdaq National Market.
NVIDIA ASSET SALE TERMS
In the fall of 2000, 3dfx began experiencing financial difficulties due in
part to substantially reduced demand in the retail channel for its products.
This reduced demand is attributable to a number of factors, including, in part,
its failure to introduce products in a timely manner and from disappointing
customer response to its existing products, as well as reduced demand in the
retail channel in general and the add-in graphics segment in particular. In
addition, 3dfx's high research and development costs and substantial debt
burden, together with the loss of several large customers due to 3dfx's May 1999
acquisition of STB Systems, Inc. and its inability to refinance its debt on
commercially reasonable terms, aggravated its financial difficulties. After
extensive exploration and evaluation of various strategic alternatives, the 3dfx
board of directors concluded that the liquidation, winding up and dissolution of
3dfx provided the best protection to 3dfx's creditors and was in the best
interests of its shareholders.
On December 15, 2000, 3dfx entered into an asset purchase agreement with
Nvidia and Nvidia Sub under which Nvidia Sub would acquire certain of 3dfx's
assets, including its core graphics processor assets. Under the terms of the
asset purchase agreement, Nvidia Sub agreed to pay 3dfx $70.0 million in cash
and 2,000,000 shares of registered Nvidia common stock (after giving effect to a
recent Nvidia stock split), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions
specified in the asset purchase agreement as described below. Upon signing the
asset purchase agreement, Nvidia Sub loaned to 3dfx $15.0 million in cash for
working capital.
The asset sale to Nvidia Sub was approved by 3dfx shareholders on March 27,
2001, and on April 18, 2001 substantially all of 3dfx's assets were sold to
Nvidia Sub. Upon closing, 3dfx received $55.0 million in cash, which amount was
net of repayment of the $15.0 million cash loan 3dfx received upon signing the
asset purchase agreement. In addition, under the terms of the asset purchase
agreement, 3dfx and Nvidia Sub caused the pending patent litigation between the
parties to be dismissed with prejudice. Under the terms of the asset purchase
agreement, 3dfx may receive part or all of a one-time post-closing cash payment
of up to $25.0 million upon its request if it is not in breach of the asset
purchase agreement, it has expended all or substantially all of the $70.0
million cash consideration in payment of its liabilities and determines in good
faith that (i) the remaining portion of the cash consideration previously
received by it is not sufficient to pay its remaining liabilities, and (ii) such
remaining liabilities could and would be satisfied if 3dfx received the
post-closing cash payment and applied it to the payment of such liabilities, and
if Nvidia Sub does not determine in good faith that the requested amount would
not permit 3dfx to pay in full its remaining liabilities. In the event that 3dfx
were to receive the post-closing cash payment, the 2,000,000 shares of Nvidia
common stock comprising the remaining consideration otherwise payable to 3dfx
under the asset purchase agreement will be reduced by the number of shares equal
to the quotient
8
determined by dividing the amount of the post-closing cash payment by $25. Based
on 3dfx's net liabilities balance of $34.4 million at January 31, 2002, 3dfx
made arrangements to obtain the Series B Financing because it does not currently
believe that it will satisfy all of the conditions to receipt of the
post-closing cash payment from Nvidia Sub.
The 2,000,000 shares of Nvidia common stock will only become deliverable to
3dfx upon satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the asset purchase
agreement, including the completion of the winding up of the business of 3dfx
pursuant to 3dfx's plan of dissolution, and 3dfx's certification that (i) all
liabilities of 3dfx and its subsidiaries have been paid in full or otherwise
provided for and (ii) 3dfx has or will be validly dissolved. In the event the
remaining consideration from Nvidia is not paid, 3dfx will have to explore other
options, including filing for bankruptcy. The ultimate total value of the Nvidia
stock received by 3dfx, if any, is dependent on the number and market value of
shares received given the conditions described above.
LIQUIDATION, WINDING UP AND DISSOLUTION
On December 15, 2000, the board of directors of 3dfx also approved a plan
of dissolution and on March 27, 2001 this plan of dissolution was approved by
3dfx's shareholders. On March 30, 2001, 3dfx filed a certificate of election to
liquidate, wind up and dissolve with the California Secretary of State's office.
3dfx is proceeding to wind up its affairs and is no longer operating or
generating revenues in the normal course of business.
At this time, 3dfx cannot determine if there will be any assets remaining
after paying for, or providing for the payment of, 3dfx's liquidation expenses
and all of its and its subsidiaries' debts and liabilities, as well as the
distribution of the Liquidation Preference to the holders of the Series B
Preferred Stock. 3dfx believes that it will shortly be in a position to
voluntarily petition a California court to take jurisdiction over the final
steps of its winding up. In connection with this judicial process, 3dfx expects
that it will be able to finally determine the total amount of its liabilities,
including the maximum amount of its undeterminable liabilities, and also expects
that it will be able to close the Series B Financing and satisfy the conditions
to its receipt of the shares of Nvidia stock. However, there can be no assurance
as to the total amount of 3dfx's liabilities or whether it will be able to close
the Series B Financing or satisfy the conditions to receiving the shares of
Nvidia stock. If any of these or other matters cannot be satisfactorily
resolved, 3dfx will have to explore other options, including filing for
bankruptcy.
3dfx expects to continue to incur certain administrative and other costs
associated with winding up its affairs. The amount of unknown or contingent
liabilities cannot be quantified and could decrease or eliminate any remaining
assets available for distribution to 3dfx's common shareholders. Further, if
3dfx or its subsidiaries are subject to any contingent liabilities, this could
require that it establish reserves that could delay any distribution to 3dfx
common shareholders. Because of the uncertainties as to the settlement amount of
3dfx's and its subsidiaries' debts and liabilities (including tax liabilities),
as well as the volatility in the market price of Nvidia's stock, 3dfx cannot at
this time determine the timing or amount of distributions that may be made to
its common shareholders, if any. Only if there are assets remaining after the
payment of all debts and liabilities, and the distribution of the Liquidation
Preference, will 3dfx common shareholders receive a distribution of those
assets.
3dfx has substantially reduced its costs in order to conserve its
resources. These cost-cutting measures included the termination of virtually all
employees, reduction in leased space and other efforts to reduce non-essential
expenses. During fiscal 2002, 3dfx also continued to liquidate its remaining
assets, negotiate with third parties for resolutions of various litigation
matters that would be agreeable to all parties involved, and to reach
settlements with its vendors in reduction of its accounts payable, as well as to
reach mutually satisfactory settlements with the lessors of its facilities and
equipment leases. 3dfx provided manufacturing services to third parties to help
cover the overhead associated with its Juarez, Mexico manufacturing facility
until its lease of that facility was terminated in April 2002. The sales and
costs of sales related to these operations are recorded as other income and
expense on the condensed consolidated statement of discontinued operations for
the period from February 1, 2001 to March 26, 2001, and as selling, general, and
administrative expense from March 27, 2001 to January 31, 2002.
ACTIVITIES WHILE IN LIQUIDATION
During the year ended January 31, 2002 3dfx disposed of most of its
inventory and other assets held for sale through the asset purchase agreement
with Nvidia Sub as well as through sales to other parties. Any remaining
inventory and other assets held for sale have been written down to their net
realizable value, most of which equals zero. As 3dfx is in liquidation, these
remaining assets may be sold. 3dfx believes that any gains on such sales that
may be realized will be immaterial.
During the year ended January 31, 2002, 3dfx terminated all but one of its
employees and continued to liquidate its remaining assets, negotiate with third
parties for resolutions of various litigation matters that would be agreeable to
all parties involved, and to reach settlements with its vendors in reduction of
its accounts payable, as well as to reach mutually satisfactory settlements with
the lessors to its facilities and equipment leases. At January 31, 2002 3dfx was
still in negotiations to settle certain remaining leases under which it has
contractual obligations. At January 31, 2002, 3dfx had total future lease
obligations of $6.6 million and lease termination costs of $4.0 million in the
current fiscal year. On April 19, 2002, 3dfx reached a settlement with the
lessor of its Mexican facility, which effectively reduced its contingent
contractual obligations at that date from $5.0 million to $1.2 million. After
establishing a reserve for the winding up of its affairs, 3dfx used the
remaining proceeds received from the asset sale to Nvidia Sub to pay a
significant portion of its and its subsidiaries' known and determinable debts
and liabilities.
9
Changes in net liabilities for the period from March 27, 2001 to January
31, 2002 were a result of selling, general and administrative expenses of $21.4
million, which is comprised of operating expense, accrued expenses and lease
termination expense, partially offset by the forgiveness of liabilities, a
decrease in the deferred tax asset of $35.0 million and the net gain on sale of
assets to Nvidia Sub of $1.6 million, which was comprised of the following: (a)
a gain on the sale of inventory and other assets held for sale to Nvidia Sub of
$14.3 million, which was comprised of the purchase by Nvidia Sub of certain
inventory, fixed assets and intangible assets with net book values of $55.5
million offset by proceeds of $70.0 million and (b) losses of $12.7 million on
sale and impairment of inventory and other assets held for sale.
At January 31, 2002 3dfx had net liabilities in liquidation of $34.4
million. In light of the amount of 3dfx's liabilities, as well as contingencies
relating to unknown or contingent liabilities, the closing the Series B
Financing and Nvidia's delivery of the shares of Nvidia common stock provided
for in the Nvidia asset purchase agreement, there can be no assurance that 3dfx
will have any assets available for distribution to its common shareholders.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET LIABILITIES IN LIQUIDATION
During the period from March 27, 2001 to January 31, 2002, 3dfx incurred
selling, general and administrative costs of $21.4 million, which were comprised
of equipment expense, including current period lease payments and the accrual of
future lease payments, personnel expense and the accrual of future anticipated
salary, severance and associated benefit expenses, current period facilities
expenses, lease termination expense, payment of unaccrued income taxes in the
United Kingdom, and legal, banking and other professional service expenses,
offset by discounts received from vendors. During this period 3dfx also recorded
a decrease in deferred tax asset of $35.0 million and incurred a net gain on
sale of assets held for sale of $1.6 million, which was comprised of the
following: (a) a gain on the sale of inventory and other assets held for sale to
Nvidia Sub of $14.3 million, which was comprised of the purchase by Nvidia Sub
of certain inventory, fixed assets and intangible assets with net book values of
$55.5 million offset by proceeds of $70.0 million and (b) losses of $12.7
million on sale and impairment of inventory and other assets held for sale.
The Series B Financing has not been recorded in the accompanying
consolidated statement of net liabilities in liquidation as of January 31, 2002
because the closing thereof is subject to the satisfaction of several closing
conditions. 3dfx's receipt of the shares of Nvidia common stock provided for in
the Nvidia asset purchase agreement has not been recorded in the accompanying
consolidated statement of net liabilities in liquidation either, because
obtaining the cash necessary to pay 3dfx's liabilities, which 3dfx intends to
accomplish through the Series B Financing, is a condition to 3dfx being entitled
to receive the shares of Nvidia stock.
RESULTS OF DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Years Ended January 31, 2001 (Fiscal 2001) And January 31, 2000 (Fiscal
2000)
Revenues. Revenues are recognized upon product shipment. 3dfx's total
revenues were $233.1 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001 and
$360.5 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2000. The decrease was
primarily attributable to a decline in demand for 3dfx's products due to a
number of factors, including, in part, its failure to introduce products in a
timely manner and from disappointing customer response to its existing products,
as well as reduced demand in the retail channel in general and the add-in
graphics segment in particular. Also, the impact arising from 3dfx's
announcement of its plan of dissolution caused revenues to significantly
decrease beginning in December 2000. Revenues for fiscal 2000 include board
level sales from May 13, 1999 (the date of the STB merger) through the end of
the fiscal year, which contributed a substantial amount of revenues for the
period; however, prior to the STB merger, substantially all 3dfx's revenues were
comprised of chip level sales. Revenues in fiscal 2001 were principally
attributable to sales of Voodoo5 and Voodoo3 products. Revenues in fiscal 2000
were derived in part from the sale of 3dfx's Voodoo Banshee, Voodoo2, and
Voodoo3 products.
Gross Profit. Gross profit consists of total revenues less cost of
revenues. Cost of revenues consists primarily of costs associated with the
purchase of components and the procurement of semiconductors from 3dfx's
contract manufacturers, labor and overhead associated with procurement,
assembly, testing, packaging, warehousing and shipping, and warranty costs.
3dfx's gross profit decreased by $82.6 million from a gross profit of $72.7
million in the year ended January 31, 2000 to a gross loss of ($9.9 million) in
year ended January 31, 2001. Gross profit (loss) as a percentage of revenues was
(4.3%) and 20.2% for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2001 and January 31,
2000, respectively. The decrease is attributable in part to the gross profit
generated from sales of board-level products, which have lower margins as
compared with the margins on chip-only products. In addition, the decrease in
gross profit as a percentage of revenues resulted from lower margins associated
with pricing pressure in the retail and commercial channel on the Voodoo3 and
Voodoo5 products sold during the year and the significant drop in market price
for 3dfx's remaining inventory in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001. 3dfx also
took significant additional charges totaling $10.3 million related to the
write-down of inventory due to excess inventories resulting from lower than
anticipated sales volumes. Increased production costs as a result of decreased
production volumes during fiscal 2001 also had a negative impact on gross
margins.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist
primarily of compensation and other expenses related to research and development
personnel, occupancy costs of research and development facilities, depreciation
of capital equipment used in product development and engineering costs paid to
3dfx's foundries in connection with manufacturing start-up of new products.
Research and development expenses decreased 1.2% from $66.1 million in the
fiscal year ended January 31, 2000 to $65.4 million in
10
the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001. This decrease reflects a decrease in
personnel costs and engineering costs resulting from the termination of
substantially all employees in December 2000, mainly offset by an increase in
personnel costs related to the GigaPixel merger and general engineering costs
resulting from the development of Voodoo5 and other anticipated products during
the first part of fiscal 2001.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expenses include compensation and benefits for sales, marketing, finance and
administration personnel, commissions paid to independent sales representatives,
tradeshow, advertising and other promotional expenses and facilities expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 40.3% from $63.5 million
in fiscal year ended January 31, 2000 to $89.1 million in the fiscal year ended
January 31, 2001. The selling, general and administrative expenses relating to
the operations of STB are included in the year ended January 2001, and from the
effective date of the STB merger, May 13, 1999, through January 31, 2000. The
selling, general and administrative expenses relating to the operations of
GigaPixel are included in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001, from the
effective date of the GigaPixel merger, July 21, 2000. In addition, marketing
costs associated with the Voodoo5 product family launch in fiscal 2001 and
increased legal costs contributed to the increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses in fiscal 2001.
In-Process Research and Development. 3dfx recorded a one-time write-off for
IPR&D in connection with the GigaPixel merger of $66.3 million in the fiscal
year ended January 31, 2001, and a one-time write-off for IPR&D in connection
with the STB merger of $4.3 million in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2000.
Amortization of Goodwill and Other Intangibles. In connection with the STB
merger in fiscal 2000, 3dfx recorded assets representing goodwill of
approximately $37.9 million and intangibles of approximately $19.1 million.
Also, in connection with the GigaPixel merger in fiscal 2001, 3dfx recorded
assets representing goodwill of approximately $103.5 million and intangibles of
approximately $13.2 million. These amounts are being amortized ratably over the
amortization periods of the applicable assets. 3dfx recorded amortization
expense in the amount of $24.5 million and $10.2 for the fiscal years ended
January 31, 2001 and January 31, 2000, respectively.
Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangibles. During the fiscal year ended
January 31, 2001, 3dfx recorded a charge of $117.1 million for the impairment of
goodwill and other intangibles as previously discussed.
Restructuring Expense. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2000, 3dfx
incurred restructuring expenses totaling approximately $4.4 million.
Approximately $2.6 million of this amount related to downsizing the expense
levels of 3dfx given 3dfx's fiscal 2000 financial losses.
Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net. Interest and other income
(expense), net, decreased from $2.2 million in the fiscal year ended January 31,
2000 to ($4.8 million) in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001. During fiscal
2001 3dfx took a charge of $3.1 million, which is included in other income
(expense), for the write-off of a minority investment in a private company.
Also, 3dfx earned less interest income during fiscal 2001 due to significantly
lower invested cash balances. In fiscal 2000 and fiscal 2001, 3dfx incurred
interest expense on its revolving credit facility and its outstanding equipment
line of credit and capital lease balances.
Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes. 3dfx recorded an income tax benefit
of $36.5 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001, an effective tax
rate of 10%. 3dfx recorded a benefit for income taxes of $10.3 million for the
fiscal year ended January 31, 2000, an effective tax rate of 14%. Management has
assessed the realizability of deferred tax assets recorded at January 31, 2001
based upon the weight of available evidence, including such factors as expected
future taxable income primarily related to the expected gain on the sale of
assets to NVIDIA Sub. Management believes that it is more likely than not that
3dfx will not realize a portion of its deferred tax assets and, accordingly, a
valuation allowance of $46.8 million has been established for such amounts at
January 31, 2001.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Liquidation Accounting Basis. As of March 27, 2001, all activities of 3dfx
are presented under the liquidation basis of accounting. Inherent in the
liquidation basis of accounting are significant management estimates and
judgment. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, assets are stated at their
estimated net realizable values and liabilities are stated at their anticipated
settlement amount, if reasonably estimable. The estimated net realizable values
of assets and settlement amounts of liabilities represent our best estimate of
the recoverable value of the assets and settlement amounts of liabilities. There
can be no assurance, however, that we will be successful in selling the assets
at their estimated net realizable value or in negotiating the estimated
settlement amounts. In addition, the liquidation basis of accounting requires
that we accrue an estimate for all liabilities related to expenses to be
incurred during the wind down period. While we believe our estimates are
reasonable under the circumstances, if the length of our wind down period were
to change or other conditions were to arise, actual results may differ from
these estimates.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of January 31, 2002, 3dfx had cash, and cash equivalents of $1.1
million.
11
On April 18, 2001, 3dfx completed the sale of substantially all of its
assets to Nvidia Sub and at the closing received cash in the net amount of $55.0
million pursuant to an asset purchase agreement. After establishing a reserve
for the winding up of its affairs, 3dfx used the remaining proceeds received
from the asset sale to Nvidia Sub to pay a significant portion of its and its
subsidiaries' known and determinable debts and liabilities. 3dfx is seeking to
liquidate its remaining assets.
3dfx's principal anticipated liquidity requirements involve reaching
settlements with its vendors in reduction of its accounts payable, as well as
reaching mutually satisfactory settlements of its contractual dispute with
Worldcom, Inc. and with the lessors to its remaining facilities and equipment
leases. 3dfx is also seeking to assign or sublease its leased properties. In
addition, unknown or contingent liabilities could require substantial cash
resources. Management cannot reasonably estimate the amount of future
obligations at this time. 3dfx is seeking to address each of the foregoing
liquidity requirements, as well as the continuing expenses associated with the
winding up of its business, with its remaining cash and other resources.
On June 13, 2002, 3dfx entered into a Series B Preferred Stock Purchase
Agreement with SF Capital Partners Ltd. whereby SF Capital has agreed to invest
between $25 and $35 million in 3dfx in exchange for shares of 3dfx's Series B
Preferred Stock (the Series B Financing). The closing of the Series B Financing
is subject to a number of conditions, some of which are beyond the control of
3dfx. 3dfx made arrangements to obtain the Series B Financing in order to
provide the cash funding necessary to pay its liabilities and otherwise satisfy
the requirements to the delivery of the Nvidia stock to 3dfx under the Nvidia
asset purchase agreement. In addition, 3dfx sought the Series B Financing
because it does not currently believe that it will satisfy all of the conditions
to receipt of the post-closing cash payment provided for under the Nvidia asset
purchase agreement. There can be no assurance that the Series B Financing will
be successfully closed.
At January 31, 2002 3dfx had net liabilities in liquidation of $34.4
million. In light of the amount of 3dfx's liabilities, as well as contingencies
relating to unknown or contingent liabilities, the closing the Series B
Financing and Nvidia's delivery of the shares of Nvidia common stock provided
for in the Nvidia asset purchase agreement, there can be no assurance that 3dfx
will have any assets available for distribution to its common shareholders.
RISK FACTORS
This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning
of the deferral securities laws. 3dfx's actual results and the timing of certain
events could differ greatly from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of known and unknown factors, including the risks faced
by 3dfx described below. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the
only ones facing 3dfx. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known by
3dfx or that 3dfx does not currently believe are important may also harm 3dfx's
business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, 3dfx's
business, financial conditions or results of operations could be seriously
harmed. The following factors and other information in this Report should be
considered carefully in evaluating 3dfx and an investment in 3dfx's common
stock.
3dfx CANNOT DETERMINE AT THIS TIME THE AMOUNT OF DISTRIBUTIONS TO ITS COMMON
SHAREHOLDERS, OR WHETHER ANY DISTRIBUTIONS WILL BE MADE, BECAUSE THERE ARE A
VARIETY OF FACTORS, SOME OF WHICH ARE OUTSIDE OF 3dfx'S CONTROL, THAT COULD
AFFECT THE ABILITY OF 3dfx TO MAKE DISTRIBUTIONS TO ITS COMMON SHAREHOLDERS.
3dfx cannot determine at this time the amount of or whether there will be
any distributions to its common shareholders because that determination depends
on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, whether and when the
Series B Financing will close, whether and when Nvidia will deliver the shares
of Nvidia common stock provided for under the Nvidia asset purchase agreement,
whether the value of 3dfx's remaining assets, the amount of 3dfx's and its
subsidiaries' known and unknown debts and liabilities (including those relating
to leases) to be paid in the future, the resolution of pending litigation and
other contingent liabilities, general business and economic conditions and other
matters. Examples of uncertainties that could reduce the value or eliminate
distributions to 3dfx common shareholders include the following:
o Whether and when the Series B Financing will close, which is subject
to a number of conditions, including (i) the period of time required
to calculate the amount of 3dfx's fixed and determinable liabilities
and the maximum amount of any undetermined 3dfx liabilities (ii) the
satisfaction of certain of conditions necessary for SF Capital to fund
the escrow contemplated by the stock purchase agreements and (iii)
the satisfaction of any further conditions that 3dfx and SF Capital
may specify in the related escrow agreement.
o Whether and when 3dfx will satisfy the conditions to the delivery of
shares of Nvidia common stock set forth in the Nvidia asset purchase
agreement, which shares are only deliverable to 3dfx upon the
completion of the winding up of the business of 3dfx pursuant to
3dfx's plan of dissolution, and 3dfx's certification that (i) all
liabilities of 3dfx and its subsidiaries have been paid in full or
otherwise provided for and (ii) 3dfx has or will be validly dissolved.
o The procedures and uncertainties relating to the contemplated
judicially administered winding up proceedings for 3dfx.
o The volatility in the market price of Nvidia stock.
12
o Delays in completing the dissolution of 3dfx could result in
additional expenses and result in no distributions to 3dfx common
shareholders.
o The amount of 3dfx's and its subsidiaries' debts and liabilities and
the estimate of the costs and expenses of 3dfx's dissolution,
including any tax liabilities. If actual debts, liabilities, costs and
expenses exceed 3dfx's expectations, actual net proceeds will be
reduced and may result in no distribution to common shareholders at
all.
o If liabilities of 3dfx or its subsidiaries that are unknown or
contingent later arise or become fixed in amounts that are greater
than anticipated.
o If the resolution of pending or future litigation results in greater
than anticipated liabilities or expenses.
o A decline in the value of Nvidia's common stock.
For the foregoing reasons, there can be no assurance that there will be
any distribution to common shareholders, even if the asset sale is completed.
3dfx MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SATISFY ITS DEBT OBLIGATIONS AND MAY FILE OR BE FORCED
INTO BANKRUPTCY BY ITS CREDITORS.
3dfx may not be able to successfully close the Series B Financing, in which
event it would not have funds adequate to satisfy all of its known and unknown
debts and liabilities. In the event 3dfx is unable to pay its outstanding debts
and liabilities in the near future, 3dfx's creditors may be able to attach 3dfx
assets and may force 3dfx into involuntary bankruptcy. Further, in the event
that 3dfx is unable to pay or otherwise provide for its debts and obligations,
there will be no assets available for distribution to 3dfx's common
shareholders.
THE TIMING OF THE DISSOLUTION OF 3dfx IS NOT KNOWN AND THEREFORE 3dfx CANNOT
DETERMINE THE TIMING OF ANY DISTRIBUTIONS TO ITS COMMON SHAREHOLDERS.
Several factors affect the timing of 3dfx's ability to dissolve, including
3dfx's ability to determine the amount of its and its subsidiaries' known and
unknown debts and liabilities and 3dfx's ability to resolve litigation and other
contingent liabilities, 3dfx's ability to close the Series B Financing and
3dfx's ability to satisfy the conditions to Nvidia's delivery of the shares of
Nvidia common stock provided for under the Nvidia asset purchase agreement. In
addition, 3dfx believes that it will shortly be in a position to voluntarily
petition a court to take jurisdiction over the final steps of its winding up.
There are a number of procedures and uncertainties relating to judicially
administered winding up proceedings that could have the effect of lengthening
the time before which 3dfx is able to dissolve. Any delay in the dissolution of
3dfx will result in a delay in making distributions, if any, to 3dfx common
shareholders.
3dfx IS UNABLE TO SPECIFY THE TYPE OF ASSETS THAT MAY BE DISTRIBUTED TO 3dfx'S
COMMON SHAREHOLDERS, IF ANY DISTRIBUTION IS MADE.
3dfx may distribute the shares of Nvidia common stock received by it upon
its dissolution directly to its common shareholders, or it may sell these shares
in the open market or contribute the shares to a liquidating trust for the
benefit of 3dfx's common shareholders. Further, 3dfx may elect to directly
distribute shares of Nvidia common stock to some of its common shareholders,
while distributing an equivalent per share value in cash to others who would
otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional amount or small number of shares
of Nvidia common stock. At this time, 3dfx is unable to provide specifics about
the type of assets that 3dfx's common shareholders may receive or what the value
of those assets might be at the time of distribution.
3dfx's SHAREHOLDERS COULD BE REQUIRED TO RETURN DISTRIBUTIONS IF CONTINGENT
RESERVES ARE INSUFFICIENT TO SATISFY 3dfx'S LIABILITIES.
If 3dfx (or a liquidating trust to which 3dfx's assets are transferred)
makes a distribution to its shareholders but maintains inadequate reserves for
the payment of its and its subsidiaries debts and liabilities, each shareholder
could be required to return any additional amounts owed, up to the amount of the
total distribution that the shareholder received. A distribution to 3dfx's
shareholders could be delayed or diminished due to the need to make adequate
provisions for 3dfx's and its subsidiaries' debt and liabilities, including
contingent liabilities associated with lawsuits and threatened claims against
3dfx and its subsidiaries.
The determination of whether a distribution is made and the amount of the
distribution depends on 3dfx's ability to pay, or provide for the payment of,
its and its subsidiaries' debts and liabilities, including contingent
liabilities related to lawsuits and threatened claims. If these contingent
liabilities later arise or become fixed in amount, 3dfx will be required to pay,
or provide for the payment of, such liabilities from any remaining assets. This
could result in the delay of distributions to 3dfx shareholders and the
substantial reduction or elimination of any distributions.
If 3dfx's or its subsidiaries' creditors believe that 3dfx has not
adequately reserved assets for the payment of its or its subsidiaries' debts and
liabilities, these creditors may be able to obtain from a court and injunction
that prohibits 3dfx from making distributions to its shareholders. This action
could delay or substantially diminish the distributions to be made to 3dfx's
shareholders or holders of beneficial interests of the liquidating trust, as the
case may be.
13
3dfx MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DISPOSE OF ITS REMAINING ASSETS FOR VALUES EQUALING OR
EXCEEDING THOSE CURRENTLY DESIRED BY 3dfx.
Many factors affect the prices that 3dfx may receive for 3dfx's remaining
assets, including availability of buyers for these assets and perceived quality
of these assets. Many of these factors are beyond 3dfx's control. As a result of
the foregoing, 3dfx may not be able to sell or otherwise dispose of its assets
for prices equaling or exceeding those desired by 3dfx or currently offered in
the asset sale.
3dfx'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS MAY AMEND THE PLAN OF DISSOLUTION.
3dfx's board of directors and shareholders have adopted a plan of
dissolution for the liquidation, winding up and dissolution of 3dfx. 3dfx's
board of directors has reserved the right, in its sole discretion, to amend the
plan of dissolution unless it determines that the amendment would materially and
adversely affect 3dfx's shareholders' interests.
3dfx'S COMMON STOCK WAS DELISTED FROM THE NASDAQ NATIONAL MARKET EFFECTIVE MAY
16, 2001.
As a result of the decline in the trading price of 3dfx's common stock,
3dfx's common was delisted from the Nasdaq National Market effective as of the
opening of business on May 16, 2001. 3dfx's common stock is currently traded in
over-the-counter bulletin board (OTCBB) of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. The delisting of 3dfx's common stock means that, among
other things, fewer investors have access to trade 3dfx's common stock, which
may have resulted in reduced demand for the stock. In addition, 3dfx's common
stock is currently subject to penny stock regulations. The penny stock
regulations require that broker-dealers who recommend penny stocks to persons
other than institutional accredited investors must make a special suitability
determination for the purchaser, receive the purchaser's written agreement to
the transaction prior to the sale and provide the purchaser with risk disclosure
documents which identify risks associated with investing in penny stocks.
Furthermore, the broker-dealer must obtain a signed and dated acknowledgement
from the purchaser demonstrating that the purchaser has actually received the
required risk disclosure document before effecting a transaction in penny stock.
These requirements have historically resulted in reducing the level of trading
activity in securities that become subject to the penny stock rules. Holders of
3dfx's common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares of common stock,
which can adversely affect the market price of 3dfx's common stock.
IF 3dfx IS UNABLE TO FILE ITS SEC REPORTS IN A TIMELY MANNER, ITS COMMON STOCK
WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE OTCBB.
While 3dfx will continue to endeavor to make all required filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in a timely manner in accordance with
OTCBB rules, 3dfx may not be able to do so. If that occurs, 3dfx's common stock
will be removed from the OTCBB and quoted on the National Quotation Bureau's
pink sheets. This would be likely to further reduce demand for 3dfx's common
stock, which could result in inadequate trading volumes to provide liquidity and
could cause 3dfx's stock price to further decrease.
ONCE 3dfx IS DISSOLVED OR ALL OF ITS ASSETS ARE TRANSFERRED TO A LIQUIDATING
TRUST, IT WILL CLOSE ITS STOCK TRANSFER BOOKS AND NO TRANSFER OF 3dfx'S COMMON
STOCK WILL BE RECORDED.
Once 3dfx is dissolved or all of its assets are transferred to a
liquidating trust, it will close its stock transfer books and no transfer of
3dfx's common stock will be recorded. Thereafter, certificates representing 3dfx
common stock will not be assignable or transferable on 3dfx's books except by
will, intestate succession or operation of law. The equity interests of all of
3dfx's shareholders will be fixed on the basis of their respective stock
holdings at the close of business on the final record date for the distribution
of all remaining assets of 3dfx, and after the final record date, any
distributions made by 3dfx will be made solely to the common shareholders of
record on such date, except as may be necessary to reflect subsequent transfers
recorded on 3dfx's books as may be necessary to reflect subsequent transfers of
3dfx's common stock as a result of any assignments by will, intestate succession
or operation of law. For any other trades after the final record date, the
seller and purchaser of 3dfx's stock will need to negotiate and rely on
contractual obligations between themselves with respect to the right to a
liquidating distribution arising from ownership of 3dfx's common stock.
3dfx IS AT RISK OF SECURITIES CLASS ACTION LITIGATION DUE TO ITS STOCK PRICE
VOLATILITY.
Historically, securities class action litigation has often been brought
against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its
securities. 3dfx may be the target of litigation like this. Securities
litigation would result in substantial costs and divert management's attention
and resources, which would seriously harm 3dfx's ability to complete its
dissolution and may reduce or eliminate the assets available for distribution to
3dfx common shareholders.
3dfx MAY BE SUBJECT TO CLAIMS OF FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCE BY 3dfx'S CREDITORS.
3dfx has incurred substantial indebtedness. Under federal and state
fraudulent conveyance statutes in a bankruptcy, reorganization or rehabilitation
case or similar proceeding or a lawsuit by unpaid creditors of 3dfx, under
certain circumstances, such a court could void the asset sale to Nvidia Sub or
the sale of its remaining assets and/or take other action detrimental to 3dfx
and its shareholders.
14
These circumstances include the findings that, at the time 3dfx consummated the
asset sale, (i) the assets were sold to hinder, delay or defraud current or
future creditors or (ii) (A) 3dfx received less than reasonably equivalent value
or fair consideration for its assets and (B) 3dfx, (1) was insolvent or was
rendered insolvent by reason of an asset sale, (2) was engaged, or about to
engage, in a business or transaction for which its assets constituted
unreasonably small capital, (3) intended to incur, or believed that it would
incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as such debts matured (as all of the
foregoing terms are defined in or interpreted under such fraudulent conveyance
statutes) or (4) was a defendant in an action for money damages, or had a
judgment for money damages docketed against it (if, in either case, after final
judgment, the judgment is unsatisfied).
The measure of insolvency for purposes of the foregoing considerations will
vary depending upon the federal or local law that is being applied in any such
proceeding. Generally, however, 3dfx would be considered insolvent if, at the
time it consummated an asset sale, either (i) the fair market value (or fair
saleable value) of its assets is less than the amount required to pay its total
existing debts and liabilities (including the probable liability on contingent
liabilities) as they become absolute and mature or (ii) it is incurring debts
beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature.
3dfx MAY BE UNABLE TO NEGOTIATE SETTLEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO ITS REMAINING
LIABILITIES.
3dfx is currently in the process of negotiating settlements with respect to
its and its subsidiaries' remaining debts and liabilities which include property
and equipment leases, a contractual dispute with Worldcom and certain trade
payables. If 3dfx is unable to successfully negotiate satisfactory resolutions
of these matters, it will have less or no cash proceeds to distribute to its
common shareholders.
3dfx WILL CONTINUE TO INCUR THE EXPENSE OF COMPLYING WITH REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED (THE "EXCHANGE ACT").
3dfx is obligated to comply with applicable reporting requirements of the
Exchange Act, even though compliance with such reporting requirements is
economically burdensome. The Exchange Act provides for an exemption which allows
an issuer to terminate its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act if it
has less than 300 record holders or less than 500 record holders and its total
assets have not exceeded $10.0 million on the last day of each of the issuer's
most recent three fiscal years. At this time, 3dfx has approximately 500 record
holders and has had in excess of $10.0 million in total assets for each of the
last three fiscal years, except the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002. As such,
3dfx is unable to terminate its reporting obligations at this time. 3dfx cannot
predict if, or when, it will meet the requirements for the exemption. The
expenses for the preparation and filing of periodic reports will reduce the cash
available for distribution to 3dfx common shareholders.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest rate risk. 3dfx's cash equivalents are exposed to financial
market risk due to fluctuation in interest rates, which may affect interest
income. Due to the short term nature of the investment portfolio, 3dfx would not
expect operating results or cash flows to be affected to any significant degree
by the effect of a sudden change in market interest rates. 3dfx does not use its
investment portfolio for trading or other speculative purposes.
Foreign currency exchange risk. Substantially all of 3dfx's expenses are
denominated in U.S. dollars, and, as a result, 3dfx has relatively little
exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. 3dfx does not currently enter into
forward exchange contracts to hedge exposures denominated in foreign currencies
or any other derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative
purposes. However, in the event exposure to foreign currency risk increases,
3dfx may choose to hedge those exposures.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Reference is made to the financial statements and supplemental data
required by this item and set forth at the pages indicated in Item 14(a) of this
Report.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND

SECTION 16 BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16 (a) of the Exchange Act requires 3dfx's officers and directors,
and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of 3dfx's equity
securities, to file reports of ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on
Form 4 or Form 5 with the Securities and Exchange Commission or SEC and the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Such officers, directors and
10% shareholders are also required by SEC rules to furnish 3dfx with copies of
all such forms that they file. Based solely on its review of the copies of such
forms received by 3dfx, or written representations from some reporting persons
that no Forms 5 were required for such persons, 3dfx believes that its officers,
directors and ten percent shareholders have complied with all Section 16(a)
filing requirements applicable to them in fiscal 2002, except that Richard A.
Heddleson and Alex Leupp will be filing a Form 4 or 5 late.
16
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
The current members of the Compensation Committee are Gordon Campbell and
James Whims. No executive officer of 3dfx serves as a member of the board of
directors or compensation committee of any entity which has one or more
executive officers serving as a member of 3dfx's board of directors or
Compensation Committee.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
The 3dfx Interactive, Inc. 1997 Director Option Plan (the "Director Plan")
provides that options shall be granted to non-employee directors of 3dfx
pursuant to an automatic nondiscretionary grant mechanism following each annual
meeting of shareholders. As 3dfx did not hold an annual meeting of shareholders
in fiscal 2002, no options were granted to directors in fiscal 2002.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The following table sets forth for the years ended January 31, 2000,

(1) Potential gains are net of the exercise price but before taxes
associated with the exercise. The 5% and 10% assumed annual rates of
compounded stock appreciation based upon the exercise price per share
are mandated by the rules of the SEC and do not represent 3dfx's
estimate or projection of the future common stock price. Actual gains,
if any, on stock option exercises are dependent on the future
financial gains, if any, on stock option exercises are dependent on
the future financial performance of 3dfx, overall market conditions
and the option holders' continued employment through the vesting
period. This table does not take into account any appreciation in the
fair market value of 3dfx common stock from the date of grant to the
date of this, other than the columns reflecting assumed rates of
appreciation of 5% and 10%.
(2) The option becomes fully vested and exercisable on the second business
day immediately preceding the earlier of the record date for the
initial distribution to 3dfx's common shareholders of shares of Nvidia
common stock, or any proceeds derived from 3dfx's sale of such shares,
or the contribution of all or a portion of 3dfx's assets to a
liquidating trust, provided that Heddleson remains an employee of 3dfx
on that date; provided, that (i) the option will fully vest in the
event Mr. Heddleson's employment is terminated "without cause," as
defined in Mr. Heddleson's employment agreement, and (ii) the option
shall vest 50% in the event Mr. Heddleson's employment is terminated
by reason of his death or total and permanent disability.
(3) Options were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market
value of 3dfx's common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price
may be paid by delivery of a promissory note payable to 3dfx on such
terms as are acceptable to 3dfx in its discretion. In addition, the
options may be exercised on a cashless basis through either (i)
delivery of an irrevocable notice of exercise to a broker, with
authorization for the broker to sell that number of shares necessary
to cover the exercise price and any required federal income tax
withholding; or (ii) "netting" the number of shares issued upon
exercise of the option by that number of shares necessary to cover the
exercise price and any required federal income tax withholding, based
on the fair market value of such shares on the date of exercise.
(4) These shares are subject to exercise under stock options granted under
3dfx's 1995 Employee Stock Plan.
(5) The calculation is based on the aggregate number of options granted to
employees in fiscal 2002.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS, SEVERANCE ARRANGEMENTS AND CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS
3dfx is a party to employment agreements with its former senior executive
officers, including Alex Leupp, Scott Sellers, Stephen Lapinski, Richard Burns
and Al Woodhull, and its remaining senior executive officer, Richard Heddleson.
Other than Mr. Heddleson's employment agreement, which was effective as of April
19, 2001, these employment agreements were amended effective February 1, 2001.
As amended, the employment agreements of Scott Sellers, Stephen Lapinski and Al
Woodhull provide that each one of them is entitled to receive a lump sum payment
equal to the sum of their base salary and 50% of their target bonus, less
applicable deductions and withholdings, on the date that 3dfx shall have fully
paid or caused to be paid or otherwise provided for (in a manner satisfactory to
Nvidia) all fixed and ascertainable debts, obligations and liabilities of any
nature. This payout will be reduced, however, by certain base salary and
severance payments previously made. Alex Leupp's employment agreement features
similar terms, but the lump sum payment equals 1.25 times the sum of his base
salary and 50% of his target bonus. The foregoing employment agreements also
provide COBRA premium reimbursement benefits.
Mr. Burns was entitled to receive a lump sum severance benefit immediately
upon termination of his employment under his employment agreement, as well as
payment or reimbursement of COBRA premiums for 12 months following his
termination.
On March 9, 2001, Messrs. Woodhull and Lapinski were terminated by 3dfx
without cause, and on March 2, 2001, Mr. Burns' employment with 3dfx expired
pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement with 3dfx. In April 2001 Mr.
Leupp's and Mr. Seller's employment with 3dfx were terminated without cause.
Effective February 15, 2002, Mr. Leupp and Mr. Sellers resigned as officers of
3dfx, but both remain on the board of directors.
The following table summarizes the salary and severance payments made to
each of the indicated individuals from February 1, 2001 to the current date, as
well as the remaining lump sum payment amount due to these individuals as of the
date that 3dfx shall have fully paid its fixed and ascertainable debts:
<Table>

Alex Leupp...................... $ 400,749 $ 68,001
Scott D. Sellers................ 313,033 (1,100)
Stephen A. Lapinski............. 255,728 32,372
Alfred R. Woodhull.............. 48,413 170,087
</Table>
Mr. Heddleson's employment agreement provided for a salary of $275,000
payable during the one-year period ending April 19, 2002, which salary is
intended to compensate Mr. Heddleson through the date that his employment with
3dfx terminates. Mr. Heddleson's employment will terminate upon the complete
liquidation and dissolution of 3dfx, if not terminated earlier with or
19
without cause. If 3dfx terminates Mr. Heddleson without cause, he will receive
immediate vesting of the 800,000 share stock option granted to him
contemporaneous with the employment agreement. If Mr. Heddleson is terminated
for cause or if he resigns, all stock option vesting and benefits will cease as
of such date. If 3dfx's assets are transferred to a liquidating trust, Mr.
Heddleson has agreed pursuant to the employment agreement to serve as trustee of
such trust on such terms as are mutually acceptable to Mr. Heddleson and 3dfx.
LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS
3dfx has adopted provisions in its articles of incorporation that eliminate
to the fullest extent permissible under California law the liability of its
directors to 3dfx for monetary damages. Such limitation of liability does not
affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or
rescission. 3dfx's bylaws provide that 3dfx shall indemnify its directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted by California law, including in
circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under
California law. 3dfx has entered into indemnification agreements with its
officers and directors containing provisions which may require 3dfx, among other
things, to indemnify the officers and directors against some liabilities that
may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers (other
than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable nature), and to
advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to
which they could be indemnified.
At the present time, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving
a director, officer, employee or other agent of 3dfx in which indemnification
would be required or permitted. 3dfx is not aware of any threatened litigation
or proceeding which may result in a claim for such indemnification.
ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth as of May 31, 2002 information regarding the
beneficial ownership of 3dfx's outstanding common stock by:
o Each person known by 3dfx to own beneficially more than 5% of the
outstanding common stock
o Each director and each Named Executive Officer
o All directors and executive officers of 3dfx as a group
The following calculations of the percentage of outstanding shares are
based on 39,799,364 shares of 3dfx's common stock outstanding as of May 31,
2002.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the
Securities Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power
with respect to securities, subject to community property laws, where
applicable. Information for each five percent shareholder is derived solely from
filings with the SEC on or before May 31, 2002.
20
Shares of the common stock subject to options that are presently
exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of May 31, 2002 are deemed outstanding
and beneficially owned by the person holding such options for the purpose of
computing the percentage of ownership of such person but are not treated as
outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of any other person.
These options are separately set forth below in the column titled "Options."

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
In March 2000, 3dfx sold the Specialized Technology Group (STG), a business
unit that provides digital video products, multi-output MPEG decoder cards and
multi-monitor display adapters to a company of which Vanessa Ogle is President,
Enseo, Inc. ("Enseo"). Ms. Ogle is a former employee of 3dfx and is the daughter
of William E. Ogle. Mr. Ogle served as the Executive Vice President and Vice
Chairman of the board of directors of 3dfx until he resigned these positions in
January 2000. Mr. Hopkins is currently a director of Enseo, but did not serve
Enseo in any capacity at the time of the sale transaction. The transaction was
accounted for as an asset sale, comprised primarily of inventory and accounts
receivable, in a leveraged buyout by the STG management group. 3dfx maintained a
minority equity interest in Enseo following the sale. The amount of the
transaction was $5.1 million, and as a result, 3dfx recorded a note receivable
in the amount of $3.0 million ($1.5 of which has been assigned to Mr. Ogle, as
described below). The note is payable in accordance with a payment schedule,
beginning February 1, 2001 and concluding November 1, 2004. The note is
currently in default and 3dfx is in discussions with Enseo with respect to this
matter.
3dfx and William Ogle, a former Executive Vice President and Vice Chairman
of the Board of Directors until his resignation in January 2000, brought claims
against each other before the American Arbitration Association relating to the
employment agreement,
21
as amended, between the parties and other matters relating to Mr. Ogle's
relationship with 3dfx. On November 29, 2000, 3dfx and Mr. Ogle executed a
Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release, which was approved by the arbitrator on
December 4, 2000. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, 3dfx paid
Mr. Ogle $300,000 as a parachute payment pursuant to his employment agreement
with 3dfx, and released Mr. Ogle from all obligations under his employment
agreement. In lieu of making the $300,000 parachute payment to Mr. Ogle, 3dfx
transferred a condominium owned by 3dfx and all personal property therein to Mr.
Ogle, as well as paid to Mr. Ogle an amount equal to all unpaid taxes and
assessments accrued or accruing for the fiscal year 2000, pro-rated to November
29, 2000. Additionally, beginning in February 2001, 3dfx assigned 50% of all
future principal and interest payments payable by Enseo under that certain
promissory note dated March 1, 2000, executed by Enseo in favor of 3dfx in the
principal amount of $3.0 million. 3dfx also agreed that any indemnification
agreements executed between 3dfx or STB and Mr. Ogle will remain in full force
and effect as it relates to claims asserted against Mr. Ogle in his capacity as
an officer or director of 3dfx or STB for acts taking place prior to Mr. Ogle's
resignation.
3dfx believes that the transactions set forth above were made on terms no
less favorable to 3dfx than could have been obtained from unaffiliated third
parties. All future transactions between 3dfx and its officers, directors,
principal shareholders and their affiliates will be approved by a majority of
the board of directors, including a majority of the independent and
disinterested outside directors, and will continue to be on terms no less
favorable to 3dfx than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of 3dfx Interactive, Inc.
We have audited the consolidated statement of net liabilities in liquidation of
3dfx Interactive, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of January 31, 2002, and the
related consolidated statement of changes in net liabilities in liquidation for
the period from March 27, 2001 to January 31, 2002. In addition, we have audited
the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of discontinued operations as of
January 31, 2001, the related consolidated statements of discontinued
operations, of shareholders' equity of discontinued operations and of cash flows
of discontinued operations for the two years then ended, and the consolidated
statements of discontinued operations, of shareholders' equity of discontinued
operations and of cash flows of discontinued operations for the period from
February 1, 2001 to March 26, 2001. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the
stockholders of 3dfx Interactive, Inc. approved a plan of dissolution on March
27, 2001, and the Company is proceeding to wind-up its affairs and dissolve. As
a result, the Company has changed its basis of accounting for periods subsequent
to March 27, 2001 from the going-concern basis to a liquidation basis.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of 3dfx
Interactive, Inc. as of January 31, 2001, the consolidated results of its
operations and its cash flows for the two years then ended and for the period
from February 1, 2001 to March 26, 2001, its consolidated net liabilities in
liquidation as of January 31, 2002, and the changes in its consolidated net
liabilities in liquidation for the period from March 27, 2001 to January 31,
2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America applied on the bases described in the preceding paragraph.

3DFX INTERACTIVE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 -- 3DFX AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
3dfx
3dfx Interactive, Inc. ("3dfx" or "the Company") was incorporated in California
on August 24, 1994. 3dfx developed high performance, cost-effective graphics
chips, graphics boards, software and related technology that enable an
interactive and realistic 3D experience across multiple hardware platforms. 3dfx
has subsidiaries in the United States, Mexico, and other key markets in the
world. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of
3dfx and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
As described below, on March 27, 2001, 3dfx's shareholders approved proposals to
liquidate, wind-up and dissolve 3dfx pursuant to a plan of dissolution. 3dfx is
proceeding to wind-up its affairs and dissolve. Accordingly, all activities of
3dfx as of and since March 27, 2001 are presented under the liquidation basis of
accounting. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, assets are stated at
their estimated net realizable values and liabilities are stated at their
anticipated settlement amount, if reasonably estimable. See "Activities While in
Liquidation" below. Additionally, 3dfx's common stock has been delisted from the
NASDAQ National Market effective May 16, 2001.
Nvidia Asset Sale Terms
In the fall of 2000, 3dfx began experiencing financial difficulties due in part
to substantially reduced demand in the retail channel for its products. This
reduced demand is attributable to a number of factors, including, in part, its
failure to introduce products in a timely manner and from disappointing customer
response to its existing products, as well as reduced demand in the retail
channel in general and the add-in graphics segment in particular. In addition,
3dfx's high research and development costs and substantial debt burden, together
with the loss of several large customers due to 3dfx's May 1999 acquisition of
STB Systems, Inc. and its inability to refinance its debt on commercially
reasonable terms, aggravated its financial difficulties. After extensive
exploration and evaluation of various strategic alternatives, the 3dfx board of
directors concluded that the liquidation, winding up and dissolution of 3dfx
provided the best protection to 3dfx's creditors and was in the best interests
of its shareholders.
On December 15, 2000, 3dfx entered into an asset purchase agreement with Nvidia
Corporation ("Nvidia") and a subsidiary of Nvidia ("Nvidia Sub") under which
Nvidia Sub would acquire certain of 3dfx's assets, including its core graphics
processor assets. Under the terms of the asset purchase agreement, Nvidia agreed
to pay 3dfx $70.0 million in cash and 2,000,000 shares (on a post-split basis)
of registered Nvidia common stock, subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions specified in the asset purchase agreement as described below. Upon
signing the asset purchase agreement, Nvidia loaned to 3dfx $15.0 million in
cash for working capital.
The asset sale to Nvidia Sub was approved by 3dfx shareholders on March 27,
2001, and on April 18, 2001 substantially all of 3dfx's assets were sold to
Nvidia Sub. Upon closing, 3dfx received $55.0 million in cash, which amount was
net of repayment of the $15.0 million cash loan 3dfx received upon signing the
asset purchase agreement. In addition, under the terms of the asset purchase
agreement, 3dfx and Nvidia Sub caused the pending patent litigation between the
parties to be dismissed with prejudice. Under the terms of the asset purchase
agreement, 3dfx may receive part or all of a one-time post-closing cash payment
of up to $25.0 million upon its request if it is not in breach of the asset
purchase agreement, it has expended all or substantially all of the $70.0
million cash consideration in payment of its liabilities and determines in good
faith that (i) the remaining portion of the cash consideration previously
received by it is not sufficient to pay its remaining liabilities, and (ii) such
remaining liabilities could and would be satisfied if 3dfx received the
post-closing cash payment and applied it to the payment of such liabilities, and
if Nvidia Sub does not determine in good faith that the requested amount would
not permit 3dfx to pay in full its remaining liabilities. In the event that 3dfx
were to receive the post-closing cash payment, the 2,000,000 shares of Nvidia
common stock comprising the remaining consideration otherwise payable to 3dfx
under the asset purchase agreement will be reduced by the number of shares equal
to the quotient determined by dividing the amount of the post-closing cash
payment by $25. At this time, the Company does not currently believe that it
will satisfy all of the conditions to receipt of the post-closing cash payment
from Nvidia Sub, therefore management is pursuing other arrangements (See
discussion in Note 13).
The 2,000,000 shares of Nvidia common stock will only become deliverable to 3dfx
upon satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the asset purchase
agreement, including the completion of the winding up of the business of 3dfx
pursuant to 3dfx's plan of dissolution, and 3dfx's certification that (i) all
liabilities of 3dfx and its subsidiaries have been paid in full or otherwise
provided for and (ii) 3dfx has or will be validly dissolved. In the event the
remaining consideration from Nvidia is not paid, 3dfx will have to explore other
options, including filing for bankruptcy. As a result of the contingencies
described above, the contingent receivable and related tax expense on the gain
have not been recorded in the accompanying consolidated statement of net
liabilities in liquidation as of January 31, 2002. The ultimate total of the
value of Nvidia stock received by 3dfx, if any, is dependent on the number and
market value of shares received given the conditions described above.

3DFX INTERACTIVE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
Liquidation, Winding Up and Dissolution
On December 15, 2000, the board of directors of 3dfx also approved a plan of
dissolution and on March 27, 2001 this plan of dissolution was approved by
3dfx's shareholders. On March 30, 2001, 3dfx filed a certificate of election to
liquidate, wind up and dissolve with the California Secretary of State's office.
3dfx is proceeding to wind up its affairs and is no longer operating or
generating revenues in the normal course of business. Accordingly, all of the
activities of 3dfx have been presented on a liquidation basis of accounting.
During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001, 3dfx recorded a charge of $7.9
million for the write-down of inventory and a charge of $5.5 million for the
write-down of property and equipment. 3dfx also recorded a charge of $117.1
million for the impairment of goodwill and other intangibles during the fiscal
year ended January 31, 2001. In accordance with 3dfx's accounting policy, 3dfx
assessed impairment of its long-lived assets and determined that the carrying
amount of goodwill and other intangibles would not be recoverable due to the
deteriorating condition of its operations. The impairment loss was measured as
the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeded the estimated
fair value of the assets, as determined using the present value of expected
future cash flows.
At this time, 3dfx cannot determine if there will be any assets remaining after
paying for, or providing for the payment of, 3dfx's liquidation expenses and all
of its and its subsidiaries' debts and liabilities. 3dfx believes that it will
shortly be in a position to voluntarily petition a court to take jurisdiction
over the final steps of its winding up. In connection with this judicial
process, 3dfx expects that it will be able to finally determine the total amount
of its liabilities, including the maximum amount of its undeterminable
liabilities, and satisfy the conditions to its receipt of the shares of Nvidia
stock. (See Note 13). However, there can be no assurance as to the total amount
of 3dfx's liabilities or whether it will be able to satisfy the conditions to
receiving the shares of Nvidia stock. If any of these or other matters cannot be
satisfactorily resolved, 3dfx will have to explore other options, including
filing for bankruptcy.
3dfx expects to continue to incur certain administrative and other costs
associated with winding up its affairs. The amount of unknown or contingent
liabilities cannot be quantified and could decrease or eliminate any remaining
assets available for distribution to 3dfx's common shareholders. Further, if
3dfx or its subsidiaries are subject to any contingent liabilities, this could
require that it establish reserves that could delay any distribution to 3dfx
common shareholders. Because of the uncertainties as to the settlement amount of
3dfx's and its subsidiaries' debts and liabilities (including tax liabilities),
as well as the volatility in the market price of Nvidia's stock, 3dfx cannot at
this time determine the timing or amount of distributions that may be made to
its common shareholders, if any. Only if there are assets remaining after the
payment of all debts and liabilities, and the distribution of the Liquidation
Preference, will 3dfx common shareholders receive a distribution of those
assets.
3dfx has substantially reduced its costs in order to conserve its resources.
These cost-cutting measures included the termination of virtually all employees,
reduction in leased space and other efforts to reduce non-essential expenses.
During the fiscal year 2002, 3dfx also continued to liquidate its remaining
assets, negotiate with third parties for resolutions of various litigation
matters that would be agreeable to all parties involved, and to reach
settlements with its vendors in reduction of its accounts payable, as well as to
reach mutually satisfactory settlements with the lessors of its facilities and
equipment leases. 3dfx provided manufacturing services to third parties to help
cover the overhead associated with its Juarez, Mexico manufacturing facility
pending the settlement of the lease on that facility. The sales and costs of
sales related to these operations are recorded as other income and expense on
the condensed consolidated statement of discontinued operations for the period
from February 1, 2001 to March 26, 2001 and as selling, general, and
administrative expense from March 27, 2001 to January 31, 2002.
Activities While in Liquidation
During the year ended January 31, 2002, 3dfx disposed of most of its inventory
and other assets held for sale through the asset purchase agreement with Nvidia
Sub as well as through sales to other parties. Any remaining inventory and other
assets held for sale have been written down to their net realizable value, most
of which equals zero. As 3dfx is in liquidation, these remaining assets may be
sold. 3dfx believes that any gains on such sales that may be realized will be
immaterial.
During the year ended January 31, 2002, 3dfx terminated substantially all but
one of its remaining employees and continued to liquidate its remaining assets,
negotiate with third parties for resolutions of various litigation matters that
would be agreeable to all parties involved, and to reach settlements with its
vendors in reduction of its accounts payable, as well as to reach mutually
satisfactory settlements with the lessors to its facilities and various
equipment leases. At January 31, 2002, 3dfx was still in negotiations to settle
certain remaining leases under which it has contractual obligations. However, at
January 31, 2002, 3dfx had total future lease obligations of $6.6 million and
lease termination costs of $4.0 million in the current year, all of which has
been

accrued. After establishing a reserve for the winding up of its affairs, 3dfx
used the remaining proceeds received from the asset sale to Nvidia Sub to pay a
significant portion of its and its subsidiaries' known and determinable debts
and liabilities.
Changes in net liabilities for the period from March 27, 2001 to January 31,
2002 were a result of selling, general and administrative expenses of $21.4
million, which is comprised of operating expenses, accrued expenses and lease
termination expense, partially offset by the forgiveness of liabilities, a
decrease in the deferred tax asset of $35.0 million and the net gain on sale of
assets to Nvidia Sub of $1.6 million, which was comprised of the following: (a)
a gain on the sale of inventory and other assets held for sale to Nvidia Sub of
$14.3 million, which was comprised of the purchase by Nvidia Sub of certain
inventory, fixed assets and intangible assets with net book values of $55.5
million offset by proceeds of $70.0 million and (b) losses of $12.7 million on
sale and impairment of inventory and other assets held for sale.
At January 31, 2002 3dfx had net liabilities in liquidation of $34.4 million. In
light of the amount of 3dfx's liabilities, as well as contingencies relating to
unknown or contingent liabilities and Nvidia's delivery of the shares of Nvidia
common stock provided for in the Nvidia asset purchase agreement, there can be
no assurance that 3dfx will have any assets available for distribution to its
common shareholders.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition
Revenue from product sales is generally recognized upon product shipment.
Revenue resulting from development contracts has been recognized under the
percentage of completion method based upon costs incurred relative to total
contract costs or when the related contractual obligations have been fulfilled
and fees were billable. Costs associated with development contracts are included
in research and development.
Cash equivalents and investments
3dfx considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. At January 31, 2002 and 2001,
approximately $.4 million and $5.0 million respectively, of money market funds
and commercial paper instruments, the fair value of which approximate cost, are
included in cash and cash equivalents.
Investments in debt and equity securities which have maturities greater than
three months from the date of acquisition are classified as "available for
sale". Investments classified as "available for sale" are reported at fair value
with unrealized gains and losses, net of related tax, if any, reported as a
separate component of shareholders' equity. The unrealized loss of $1.7 million
at January 31, 2001 related to an investment in common stock of a public
company. This investment, which was $1.2 million at January 31, 2001, is
included in other current assets. This investment was sold during the year ended
January 31, 2002 for a total realized loss of $.3 million, included in the net
gain on sale of assets held for sale on the statement of changes in net
liabilities.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject 3dfx to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents and
accounts receivable.
3dfx invests primarily in money market accounts, commercial paper instruments
and term notes. Cash equivalents and short-term investments are maintained with
high quality institutions and their composition and maturities are regularly
monitored by management.
3dfx performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition
and maintains an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable based upon the
expected collectibility of all accounts receivable. There were no accounts
receivable at January 31, 2002, and there were no revenues for the period from
February 1, 2001, to March 26, 2002.
The following table summarizes the revenues from customers in excess of 10% of
the total revenues:

Inventory
Through March 26, 2001, inventory was stated at the lower of cost or market,
cost being determined under the first-in, first-out method. Beginning March 27,
2001, inventory is stated at its estimated net realizable value. As inventory
was sold or otherwise disposed of, the carrying value was removed from the
accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in the selling, general and
administrative expenses in the statement of changes in net liabilities in
liquidation for the period.
Other assets held for sale
Other assets held for sale are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net
realizable value.
Property and equipment
Through March 26, 2001, property and equipment was stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation. Depreciation was computed using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three years or
less. Beginning March 27, 2001, property and equipment are stated at their
estimated net realizable value. When property and equipment are retired or
otherwise disposed of, the carrying value is removed from the accounts and the
resulting gain or loss is included in the changes in net assets in liquidation
for the period.
Long-lived assets held and used by 3dfx are reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be
recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the sum of the expected future
cash flows (undiscounted and before interest) from the use of the asset is less
than the net book value of the asset. The amount of the impairment loss will
generally be measured as the difference between net book values of the assets
and their estimated fair values.
During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001, the Company was obligated under a
five-year agreement to lease a facility in Richardson, Texas, which was
previously the corporate headquarters of STB Systems. Construction of the
210,000 square foot facility was completed in December 1998. The total cost of
the land and building was approximately $22.8 million. The Company previously
entered into an interest rate swap agreement that fixed the interest rate on a
majority of the lease obligation at 7.55%. During the fourth quarter of fiscal
2001, the swap agreement was canceled in exchange for a cash payment of
approximately $300,000. During January 2001, the Company exercised its option to
cause the building to be sold and entered into an operating lease for
approximately 50% of the space for the next six months. The proceeds of the sale
were used to retire the underlying debt. A net loss of $2.1 million was recorded
on the sale of the building, which is reflected in other income (expense) for
fiscal 2001.
The Company held an option to purchase real estate adjoining its Texas
headquarters. The option entitled the Company to purchase the real estate for
$3.9 million, but the option would increase to the current market value of the
real estate if the option was not exercised before December 31, 2000. The
Company exercised the option in December 2000, and has sold the real estate to a
third party for $6.7 million, resulting in a gain of $2.8 million, which is
reflected in other income (expense) for fiscal 2001.
Research and software development costs
Through March 26, 2001, research and development costs were charged to
operations as incurred. Software development and prototype costs incurred prior
to the establishment of technological feasibility were included in research and
development and were expensed as incurred. Software development costs incurred
subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility through the period
of general market availability of the product were capitalized, if material. To
date, all software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of
technological feasibility have been expensed as incurred due to their
immateriality.
Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for its stock option plans and employee stock purchase plan
in accordance with provisions of the Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and complies with the
disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". If there is any compensation
cost under the rules of APB 25, the expense is amortized using a straight-line
method over the vesting period. In accordance with SFAS No. 123, the Company
provides additional pro forma disclosures in Note 8.

Comprehensive income (loss) from discontinued operations
For the period from February 1, 2001 to March 26, 2001, comprehensive loss from
discontinued operations, including net loss from discontinued operations and an
unrealized loss on an available for sale investment was $1.9 million. For the
fiscal year ended January 31, 2001, comprehensive loss from discontinued
operations, including net loss from discontinued operations and an unrealized
loss on an available for sale investment was $344.1 million.
Earnings (loss) per share from discontinued operations
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings (loss) per share
is computed using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive
common shares outstanding during the periods, except those that are
antidilutive.
During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2001 and 2000, options to purchase
approximately 5,664,000 and 6,484,389 shares and warrants to purchase
approximately 36,960 and 36,960 shares, respectively, were outstanding but are
not included in the computation because they were antidilutive. During the
period from February 1, 2001 to March 26, 2001, options to purchase
approximately 3,276,380 shares of common stock were outstanding but not included
in the calculation because they were anti-dilutive.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No.142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets", which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
SFAS No. 142 requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill
amortization. In addition, the standard includes provisions upon adoption for
the reclassification of certain existing recognized intangibles as goodwill,
reassessment of the useful lives of existing recognized intangibles,
reclassification of certain intangibles out of previously reported goodwill and
the testing for impairment of existing goodwill and other intangibles. The
Company believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 142 will not have a significant
impact on its financial statements.
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which is effective for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. This Statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No.
143 requires, among other things, that the retirement obligations be recognized
when they are incurred and displayed as liabilities on the balance sheet. In
addition, the asset's retirement costs are to be capitalized as part of the
asset's carrying amount and subsequently allocated to expense over the asset's
useful life. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 143 will not
have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The
Statement develops one accounting model for long-lived assets that are to be
disposed of by sale, as well as addressing the principal implementation issues.
The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 144 will not have a
significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 -- ACQUISITION OF STB SYSTEMS, INC.:
In May 1999, 3dfx completed a merger with STB Systems, Inc. ("STB"). As a result
of the merger, STB became a wholly-owned subsidiary of 3dfx. The STB merger was
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price of
$139.3 million included $116.1 million of stock issued at fair value (fair value
being determined as the average price of 3dfx stock for a period of a few days
before and after the announcement of the merger), $9.9 million in STB stock
option costs (being determined under the Black-Scholes formula) and $13.3
million in estimated expenses of the transaction. The purchase price was
allocated as follows: $85.6 million to the estimated fair value of STB net
tangible assets purchased (as of May 13, 1999), ($7.6) million to establish
deferred tax liabilities associated with certain intangibles acquired, $4.3
million to purchased in-process research and development ("IPR&D"), $11.4
million to purchased existing technology, $4.4 million to trademarks, $2.3
million to workforce-in-place, $1.0 million to executive covenants and $37.9
million to goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price to intangibles was
based upon an independent, third party appraisal and management's estimates.
The value assigned to purchased IPR&D was determined by identifying research
projects in areas for which technological feasibility had not been established.
These include projects for Voodoo3 as well as other specialized technologies
totaling $4.3 million. The value was determined by estimating the expected cash
flows from the projects once commercially viable, discounting the net cash flows
back to their present value and then applying a percentage of completion to the
calculated value.

NOTE 3 -- ACQUISITION OF GIGAPIXEL CORPORATION:
In July 2000, 3dfx completed a merger with GigaPixel Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("GigaPixel"). As a result of the merger, GigaPixel became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of 3dfx. The merger was accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting. The purchase price of GigaPixel was approximately $181.3
million and included $173.9 million of stock issued at fair value (fair value
being determined as the average price of 3dfx stock for a period of a few days
before and after the announcement of the merger), $2.7 million in vested
GigaPixel stock option costs (being determined under the Black Scholes formula)
and $4.7 million in estimated expenses of the transaction. The purchase price
was allocated as follows: $3.6 million to the estimated fair value of GigaPixel
net tangible assets purchased (as of July 21, 2000), $66.3 million to purchased
in-process research and development, $10.8 million to purchased existing
technology, $2.4 million to workforce-in-place, ($5.3) million to deferred tax
liabilities associated with certain intangibles acquired, and $103.5 million to
goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price to intangibles was based upon an
independent, third party appraisal and management's estimates.
The intangible assets and goodwill acquired had estimated useful lives and
estimated first year amortization, as follows:
<Table>

Purchased existing technology ..... $ 10,830,000 5 years $ 2,166,000

Goodwill .......................... 103,510,900 5 years 20,702,180
</Table>
The value assigned to purchased IPR&D was determined by identifying research
projects in areas for which technological feasibility had not been established.
The value was determined by estimating the expected cash flows from the projects
once commercially viable, discounting the net cash flows back to their present
value and then applying a percentage of completion to the calculated value as
defined below.
As described in Note 1, the Company recorded a charge of $117.1 million for the
impairment of goodwill and other intangibles. A portion of the impaired goodwill
and other intangibles originally arose as a result of the GigPixel acquisition.
In addition, the deferred tax liability related to these intangibles acquired
was also written off.
Net Cash Flows. The net cash flows from the identified projects were based on
management estimates of revenues, research and development costs, selling,
general and administrative costs, royalty costs and income taxes from those
projects. These estimates were based on the assumptions mentioned below. The
research and development costs included in the model reflect costs to sustain
projects, but exclude costs to bring in-process projects to technological
feasibility.
Revenues. The estimated revenues were based on management projections of each
in-process project and these business projections were compared and found to be
in line with industry analysts' forecasts of growth in substantially all of the
relevant
F-13

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
markets. Estimated total revenues from the IPR&D product areas were expected to
peak in the year ending January 31, 2005 and decline in 2006 as other new
products were expected to become available. These projections were based on our
estimates of market size and growth, expected trends in technology and the
nature and expected timing of new product introductions by GigaPixel and their
competitors.
Gross Margins. Projected gross margins associated with the identified projects
were in line with comparable industry margins. Research and development, as well
as sales, general and administrative costs were consistent with the industry
averages of companies of comparable size and age.
Discount Rate. Discounting the net cash flows back to their present value was
based on the industry WACC. The industry WACC was approximately 28%. The
discount rate used in discounting the net cash flows from IPR&D was 30%, a 200
basis point increase from the industry WACC. This discount rate is higher than
the industry WACC due to inherent uncertainties surrounding the successful
development of the IPR&D, market acceptance of the technology, the useful life
of such technology and the uncertainty of technological advances which could
potentially impact the estimates described above.
Percentage of Completion. The percentage of completion for GigaPixel technology
was determined using costs incurred to date on each project as compared to the
remaining research and development to be completed to bring each project to
technological feasibility. The Company anticipates beginning to ship product
incorporating this technology in the calendar year 2001. The percentage of
completion related to GigaPixel technology was 72.
Pro forma results of discontinued operations for the combined company as if the
transaction had been consummated at the beginning of the period presented are as

On a combined basis, there were no material transactions between the Company and
GigaPixel during the periods presented.
In connection with the acquisition of GigaPixel, the Company recorded deferred
compensation for the unvested portion of GigaPixel options assumed by 3dfx in
the amount of approximately $6.9 million. This deferred compensation was to be
expensed over the remaining life of unvested the GigaPixel options assumed by
3dfx. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001, the Company recorded
amortization of deferred compensation related to the GigaPixel acquisition of
$1.5 million which has been included in research and development expense. On
December 15, 2000, all of these employees were terminated and their unvested
options were canceled. Accordingly, the remaining unamortized deferred
compensation, all of which related to the unvested options, was reversed.

NOTE 5 -- RESTRUCTURING CHARGES:
During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2000, 3dfx incurred restructuring
expenses totaling approximately $4,382,000. Approximately $2,552,000 of this
amount relates to downsizing the expense levels of 3dfx given 3dfx's fiscal 2000
financial losses, and $1,830,000 related to a one-time reduction in workforce
related to the merger with STB.
NOTE 6 -- DEBT:
As discussed in Note 1, upon signing the Asset Purchase Agreement on December
15, 2000, Nvidia loaned to 3dfx $15 million for working capital under a term
loan with interest payable at a rate of 6.1% per annum. At January 31, 2001, the
Company had accrued interest payable of approximately $114,000. The full amount
of this term loan was secured by the collateral identified to be acquired under
the Asset Purchase Agreement. Upon closing of the asset sale to Nvidia on April
18, 2001, 3dfx received $55 million in cash, which amount was net of repayment
of the $15 million loan.
During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001, the Company recorded liabilities
of $5.9 million reflecting future payments due within twelve months under
software license agreements. At January 31, 2001, the full amount of this
liability remained outstanding and is presented as other current liabilities. At
January 31, 2002, none of this liability remained.
3dfx had a line of credit agreement with a bank, which provided for maximum
borrowings in an amount up to the lesser of 80% of eligible accounts receivable
or $25.0 million. Borrowings under the line were secured by $25.0 million of
cash and short-term investments and all of 3dfx's owned assets and bore interest
at Libor plus 100 basis points. The agreement required that 3dfx maintain
certain levels of tangible net worth and generally prohibited 3dfx from paying
cash dividends. In November 2000, the $25.0 million cash and short-term
investments previously pledged to secure the line of credit was used to payoff
the entire outstanding balance on the line of credit. The line of credit expired
on December 19, 2000. There were no remaining balances outstanding at January
31, 2002 and 2001.
F-15
3DFX INTERACTIVE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
3dfx had a $3.0 million term loan which was payable in 60 monthly installments
of principal and interest beginning on November 1, 1997. The term loan bore
interest at Libor plus 250 basis points. At January 31, 2000, $1,944,000, was
outstanding under the term loan. The term loan was repaid during fiscal 2001 and
at January 31, 2002 and 2001 there was no balance outstanding.
3dfx had a lease line of credit with a bank, which provided for the purchase of
up to $5 million of property and equipment. Borrowings under this line were
secured by all of 3dfx's owned assets and bore interest at the bank's prime rate
plus 0.75% per annum. The agreement required that 3dfx maintain certain
financial ratios and levels of tangible net worth, profitability and liquidity.
The equipment line of credit expired in December 2001. At January 31, 2002 and
2001, there were no borrowings outstanding under this equipment line of credit.
NOTE 7 -- SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:
Common stock
3dfx has issued 1,646,250 shares of its common stock to founders and investors.
The shares either vested immediately or vested on various dates through 1999.
3dfx can buy back unvested shares at the original price paid by the purchasers
in the event the purchasers' employment with 3dfx is terminated for any reason.
There were no such repurchases in fiscal 2002, 2001 or 2000.
For the period from February 1, 2001 to March 26, 2001 and during the year ended
January 31, 2001, no employees exercised any options to purchase shares of
common stock which are subject to a right of repurchase by 3dfx. However, during
the fiscal year ended January 31, 2000 certain employees exercised options to
purchase 22,041 shares of common stock which are subject to a right of
repurchase by 3dfx at the original share issuance price. The repurchase right
lapses over a period generally ranging from two to four years. For the period
from February 1, 2001 to March 26, 2001 there were no shares of common stock
repurchased. During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2001 and 2000, 1,224 and
12,501 shares of common stock, respectively, were repurchased. At January 31,
2002 and 2001, no shares of common stock were subject to repurchase. At January
31, 2000, approximately 8,917 shares were subject to repurchase.
On June 16, 1999, 3dfx announced a stock repurchase program, whereby 3dfx was
authorized by its board of directors to repurchase shares of its common stock in
the open market. In accordance with the program, 3dfx subsequently repurchased
505,000 shares of its common stock for approximately $6.8 million.
Listing and trading of the Company's common stock
On May 16, 2001, the Company received a Nasdaq Staff Determination
letter indicating that it had failed to comply with the minimum bid price
requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq National Market (Nasdaq
Marketplace Rule 4450 (a)(5)). On May 17, 2001, the common stock commenced
trading on the NASD's Over-the-Counter ("OTC") Bulletin Board.
Convertible preferred stock
For the period from February 1, 2001 to March 26, 2001 and for the fiscal years
ended January 31, 2001 and 2000, there were 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock
authorized, with none issued or outstanding.
Warrants
In January 1996, 3dfx entered into a line of credit. To secure the line, 3dfx
issued to the lessor a warrant to purchase 19,886 shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $4.40. The warrant expires on January 1,
2003. The warrant was deemed by management to have a nominal value at the date
of grant. Upon completion of 3dfx' IPO, this warrant was exchanged for a warrant
to purchase common stock. A portion of this warrant has been executed and
exchanged for 12,926 shares of 3dfx common stock. 3dfx has reserved 6,960 shares
of common stock for the exercise of this warrant.
In 1996, 3dfx issued to a university a warrant to purchase 5,000 shares of
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share.
This warrant was deemed to have a value of approximately $40,000 at the date of
grant and the related cost was recognized as other expense and research and
development expense, respectively, during 1996. Upon completion of 3dfx's IPO,
the warrant for 5,000 shares was exchanged for a warrant to purchase common
stock. The warrant for 5,000 shares expired on December 31, 2001.
On December 3, 1997, 3dfx issued a warrant to purchase 25,000 shares of common
stock at an exercise price of $13.875 per share in conjunction with developing a
relationship with another company. The warrant is fully exercisable and expires
December 3, 2002. 3dfx valued the warrant under the Black-Scholes formula at
approximately $200,000. The warrant value was amortized over a one-year period
as a cost of revenue. 3dfx has reserved 25,000 shares of common stock for the
exercise of this warrant.

As of January 31, 2002, 3dfx had reserved 31,960 shares of common stock for the
exercise of warrants.
NOTE 8 -- STOCK OPTION PLANS:
The 1995 Plan
In May 1995, 3dfx adopted a Stock Plan (the "1995 Plan") which provides for
granting of incentive and nonqualified stock options to employees, consultants
and directors of 3dfx. As of January 31, 2002, 8,875,000 shares of common stock
have been reserved for issuance under the 1995 Plan.
Options granted under the 1995 Plan are generally for periods not to exceed ten
years, and are granted at prices not less than 100% and 85%, for incentive and
nonqualified stock options, respectively, of the fair market value on the date
of grant. Incentive stock options granted to shareholders who own greater than
10% of the outstanding stock are for periods not to exceed five years, and must
be issued at prices not less than 110% of the fair market value of the stock on
the date of grant. Options granted under the 1995 Plan generally vest 25% on the
first anniversary of the grant date and 1/48th of the option shares each month
thereafter, with full vesting occurring on the fourth anniversary of the grant
date.
The 1997 Plan
In October 1997, 3dfx adopted the 1997 Supplementary Stock Plan (the "1997
Plan"), which provides for granting of nonqualified stock options to employees
(excluding officers, consultants and directors) of 3dfx. Under the 1997 Plan,
1,200,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance at January 31,
2002.
Options granted under the 1997 Plan are generally for periods not to exceed ten
years and are granted at the fair market value of the stock on the date of
grant. Options granted under the 1997 Plan generally vest 25% on the first
anniversary of the grant date and 1/48th of the option shares each month
thereafter, with full vesting occurring on the fourth anniversary of the grant
date.
The 1999 Plan
In July 1999, 3dfx adopted the 1999 Supplementary Stock Plan (the "1999 Plan"),
which provides for granting of nonqualified stock options to employees
(excluding officers, consultants and directors) of 3dfx and reserved 1,000,000
shares of common stock for issuance under the 1999 Plan. At January 31, 2002,
1,000,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance under the 1999
Plan.
Options granted under the 1999 Plan are generally for periods not to exceed ten
years and are granted at the fair market value of the stock on the date of
grant. Options granted under the 1999 Plan generally vest 25% on the first
anniversary of the grant date and 1/48th of the option shares each month
thereafter, with full vesting occurring on the fourth anniversary of the grant
date.
Directors' Option Plan
In March 1997, 3dfx adopted a 1997 Directors' Option Plan. Under this plan
options to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock may be granted. The plan
provides that options may be granted at a price not less than fair value of a
share at the date of grant. The Director's Option Plan provides for an initial
option grant to purchase 12,500 shares of common stock to each new non-employee
director of 3dfx at the date he or she becomes a director. Each non-employee
director and Chairman of the Board of Directors will annually be granted an
option to purchase 5,000 and 10,000 shares of common stock, respectively,
beginning with the 1998 annual meeting of shareholders. If a director serves on
either the Audit Committee or Compensation Committee, on an annual basis he or
she will be granted an option to purchase 1,000 shares of common stock,
beginning with the 1997 annual meeting of shareholders. Options granted under
the Directors' Plan are generally for ten years and are granted at the fair
market value of the stock on the date of grant. The initial 12,500 option grant
vests at a rate of 1/48 per month following the date of grant. The annual option
grant of 5,000, 10,000 or 1,000 vests at a rate of 1/12 per month following the
date of grant.

In June 2001, 3dfx granted to Richard A. Heddleson, 3dfx's Chief Financial
Officer, 800,000 stock options at an exercise price of $.38 per share, which
vest 100% the second business day preceding the record date for the initial
distribution of shares of Nvidia common stock to the Company's stockholders or
any contribution of the Company's assets to a liquidating trust.
At January 31, 2002, there were no common stock options vested and exercisable.
At January 31, 2001 and 2000, 4,807,044,and 1,129,810, respectively, of common
stock options were vested and exercisable. On December 15, 2000, substantially
all of 3dfx's United States and European employees were terminated or given
notice of termination and their unvested options were correspondingly canceled.
Upon termination, employees have 90 days to exercise vested options. Therefore,
at January 31, 2001, all vested options related to these terminated employees
remained outstanding. During fiscal 2002, subsequent the 90 days from
termination, all options related to terminated employees were cancelled.
In connection with the grant of stock options to employees from inception
(August 1994) through the effective date of 3dfx's IPO, 3dfx recorded aggregate
deferred compensation of approximately $1.9 million, representing the difference
between the deemed fair value of the common stock for accounting purposes and
the option exercise price at the date of grant. This amount was presented as a
reduction of shareholders' equity and was amortized ratably over the vesting
period of the applicable options. The amortization of the deferred compensation
for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2000 totaled $484,000 (of which $194,000
and $290,000 were recorded as a charge to research and development expenses and
selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively). The remaining
deferred compensation at January 31, 2000 of $172,000 was fully amortized during
the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001 ($69,000 was recorded as a charge to
research and development expenses and $103,000 was recorded as a charge to
selling, general and administrative expenses). There was no deferred
compensation for the period from February 1, 2001 to March 26, 2001.
On October 20, 2000, the Company undertook a stock option exchange program,
allowing employees the opportunity to surrender their existing stock options in
exchange for a new grant of 50% of the original options with a new exercise
price of $2.00 per share. The options were to become fully vested on June 30,
2001, and expire on June 30, 2002. This program was offered to certain active
employees whose options were granted on September 5, 2000, or earlier. On
October 20, 2000, options for 4.70 million shares were canceled and options for
2.35 million shares were granted under this program. As the market value of 3dfx
stock at the date of grant exceeded the exercise price for these options the
Company recorded deferred compensation of $5.3 million to be amortized over the
vesting period. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board
Interpretation No. 44 ("FIN 44") "Accounting for Certain transaction Involving
Stock Compensation" issued in March 2000, the repricing required the Company to
account for the options as variable from the date of modification to the date
the award was exercised, forfeited, or expired unexercised. On December 15,
2000, substantially all of 3dfx's United States and European employees were
terminated or given notice of termination and their unvested options were
correspondingly canceled. Amortization of deferred compensation taken for the
options, all of which were unvested, totaling $0.9 million for the fiscal year
ended January 31, 2001, was reversed, as was the remaining deferred
compensation.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In March 1997, 3dfx's board of directors approved an Employee Stock Purchase
Plan. Under this plan, employees of 3dfx can purchase common stock through
payroll deductions. A total of 1,600,000 shares have been reserved for issuance
under this plan. In July 2000, 3dfx's shareholders approved an increase of
850,000 shares to be reserved for issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase
Plan and an annual increase to the number of shares reserved to took effect on
the date of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders commencing with the 2001 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders and ending with the 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders,
equal to the lesser of (i) 600,000 shares or (ii) 1.5% of the outstanding shares
of the Company on such date. As of January 31, 2001, 998,553 shares have been
purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. During the fiscal year ended
January 31, 2002, there were no shares purchased under the Employee Stock
Purchase Plan. As of January 31, 2002, there were no employees participating in
this plan.

Benefit Plan
As of January 31, 2001, 3dfx had two 401(k) Savings Plans which allow all United
States employees to participate by making salary deferral contributions to the
401(k) Savings Plans. 3dfx may make discretionary contributions to the 401(k)
Savings Plans upon approval by the board of directors. Through March 26, 2001,
the Company has contributed to one of the 401(k) Savings Plans but not the
other. In April 2001, the board of directors of the Company approved a
resolution to merge the two 401(k) Savings Plan into one 401(k) Savings Plan and
ceased employer contributions to the plan.
NOTE 9 -- INCOME TAXES:
The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $5.0 million for federal or state
income for the period from February 1, 2001 through March 26, 2001 to offset
future taxable gains expected to be received upon the receipt of Nvidia stock in
accordance with the asset purchase agreement (see Note 1). Upon the adoption of
the liquidation basis of accounting on March 27, 2001, the Company ceased to
record deferred tax assets and liabilities and reversed the $35.0 million
deferred tax asset previously recorded, as it was no longer deemed realizable.

At January 31, 2001, 3dfx had net operating loss carryforwards for federal and
state income tax purposes of approximately $164 million and $128 million,
respectively. If not utilized, the federal and state net operating losses will
begin to expire beginning in 2011 and 2019, respectively.
Management has assessed the realizability of deferred tax assets recorded at
January 31, 2001 based upon the weight of available evidence, including such
factors as expected future taxable income primarily related to the expected gain
on sale of assets to Nvidia. Management believes that it is more likely than not
that the Company will not realize a portion of its deferred tax assets and,
accordingly, a valuation allowance of $46.8 million has been established for
such amounts at January 31, 2001.
NOTE 10 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Leases
3dfx leases, under noncancelable operating leases, certain of its facilities and
equipment. There were no capital leases outstanding as of January 31, 2002.
During fiscal 2002, the Company terminated several of its operating leases. At
January 31, 2002, 3dfx was still in negotiations to settle certain remaining
leases under which it has contractual obligations. However, at January 31, 2002,
3dfx had total future lease obligations of $6.6 million and lease termination
costs of $4.0 million in the current year, all of which has been accrued. The
remaining operating lease agreements existing at January 31, 2002, expire at
various dates through 2007. Rent expense on the operating leases for the period
from February 1, 2001 to March 26, 2001 and the years ended January 31, 2001 and
2000, was approximately $1.0 million, $6.0 million, and $6.7 million
respectively.
Sublease rental income for the period from February 1, 2001 to March 26, 2001
and the year ended January 31, 2001 was approximately $.5 million and $.8
million, respectively, and is included in other income (expense). Sublease

$1,389,000 plus interest and attorney's fees. Trial is set for October 14, 2002.
3dfx disputes Worldcom's claims and intends to vigorously defend itself in this
matter.
3dfx is also involved in litigation filed against it in the 192nd District Court
on February 11, 2002 by Fortran Trust, 3dfx's lessor for its former headquarters
in San Jose, California. The landlord filed for breach of lease in a tenant in
possession action based on 3dfx's failure to pay rental amounts that are
delinquent. 3dfx is seeking to negotiate a settlement of its lease obligations
owed to Fortran Trust. The lessor also filed for and received from the court a
Writ of Attachment on March, 8, 2002. The lessor is presently attempting to
schedule a summary judgment hearing. Finally, a Default Judgment was entered in
favor of CarrAmerica, 3dfx's lessor for its offices in Austin, Texas, on May 20,
2002 resulting from a lawsuit filed April 18, 2002 in the 261st Judicial
District Court of Travis County, Texas. In order to set aside the default
judgment, 3dfx would need to move for a new trial on or before June 19, 2002. If
3dfx does not seek a new trial by that time, the judgment becomes final. At that
time, CarrAmerica may take steps to enforce that judgment against 3dfx. 3dfx is
seeking to negotiate a settlement of its lease obligations owed to CarrAmerica.
3dfx may also be a party to various other lawsuits. Although the amount of any
liability that could arise with respect to these other proceedings cannot be
predicted accurately, 3dfx believes that any liability that might result from
these other claims will not have a material adverse effect on its financial
position.
NOTE 11 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
Since April 1995, a consulting company has been providing management services to
3dfx for which 3dfx pays a monthly fee of $5,000. The Chairman and a director of
the board of directors of 3dfx are also officers of the consulting company.
Total payments or amounts accrued for such management services during the fiscal
year 2001 was $55,000. This service was ended in the fiscal year 2002, with no
payments made during the fiscal year 2002.
During fiscal year 2001 a member of the board of directors provided consulting
services to 3dfx. Total payments for such consulting services in fiscal year
2001 was and $45,000.
During fiscal year 2001, a significant shareholder and former member of the
Company's board of directors provided consulting services to 3dfx for $400,000.
At January 31, 2001, 3dfx had an outstanding receivable due from this
shareholder of $1.1 million. At January 31, 2002, this receivable has been fully
reserved for, as management has deemed collection to be unlikely.
In April 1997, an officer of 3dfx resigned and subsequently founded Quantum3D,
Inc., a supplier of advanced graphic subsystems based on 3dfx technology. Sales
to Quantum3D, Inc. during fiscal years 2001 and 2000 totaled $2.8 million and
$1.6 million respectively. There were no sales for the period from February 1,
2001 to March 26, 2001.
In April 1999, 3dfx invested an amount of $3.1 million in exchange for a
minority interest in Quantum 3D in the form of convertible preferred shares in
connection with Quantum 3D's private round of financing. These terms and pricing
of these shares was equivalent to other unaffiliated third participants in the
financing round. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001, 3dfx fully
reserved for this investment, as management does not expect to be able to
recover the value of this investment. The charge taken for this investment is
included in interest and other income (expense) for the year ended January 31,
2001.
In March 2000, 3dfx sold the Specialized Technology Group (STG), a business unit
that provides digital video products, multi-output MPEG decoder cards and
multi-monitor display adapters to a company of which a former 3dfx employee, and
daughter of a former Executive Vice President and Vice Chairman of the board of
directors of 3dfx, is President. 3dfx maintains a minority equity interest in
STG of $2.1 million at January 31, 2001 and had an outstanding notes receivable
from STG of $1.5 million at January 31, 2001. During the first quarter of fiscal
2002, the Company deemed this investment in STG and the related notes receivable
unlikely to be realized or collected and as such has written-off the remaining
balances.
NOTE 12 -- SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION:
3dfx has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 "Disclosure
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". Based on its operating
management and financial reporting structure, 3dfx has determined that it has
one reportable business segment: the design, development and sale of graphics
boards incorporating 3dfx's proprietary graphics chips. The following is a
summary of product revenue by geographic area based on the location of shipments

All sales are denominated in United States dollars. There were no sales during
the period from February 1, 2001 to March 26, 2001. For all periods presented,
substantially all of 3dfx's long-lived assets were located in the United States.
NOTE 13 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Series B Preferred Stock Financing
On June 13, 2002, 3dfx entered into a Series B Preferred Stock Purchase
Agreement with SF Capital Partners Ltd. whereby SF Capital has agreed to invest
between $25 and $35 million in 3dfx in exchange for shares of 3dfx's Series B
Preferred Stock (the "Series B Financing"). The amount of the investment will be
based on the sum at closing of 3dfx's fixed and determinable liabilities,
maximum reasonably known undeterminable liabilities and anticipated expenses
reasonably necessary to complete the liquidation, winding-up and dissolution of
3dfx. The agreement with SF Capital provides that once the amount of all of
3dfx's liabilities is determined, or if some liabilities are not determinable
then the maximum amount of all undetermined liabilities shall be reasonably
known to 3dfx and SF Capital, and subject to the satisfaction of certain other
specified conditions, then SF Capital will place the purchase price for the
shares of Series B Preferred Stock into escrow pending closing. The purchase
price will be released to 3dfx from escrow, and the closing of the Series B
Financing will occur, upon the satisfaction of conditions that 3dfx and SF
Capital specify in the escrow agreement. The number of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock of 3dfx issuable to SF Capital at closing will be equal to the
quotient derived by dividing (x) the sum of the investment amount and a
specified percent of the investment amount by (y) the average closing price of
Nvidia common stock for the five trading days preceding the closing. The
"specified percentage of the investment amount" referred to in the preceding
formula ranges from 25% to 40%, and varies based on the price of Nvidia common
stock preceding the closing (the higher the price of Nvidia common stock, the
higher the "specified percentage of the investment amount").
The Series B Preferred Stock will not be entitled to dividends, subject to
redemption or conversion, and will have no voting rights, but it will have
priority for payment upon the liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of 3dfx. If
3dfx is in the process of liquidating, dissolving or winding up, immediately
upon its receipt of 500,000 or more shares of Nvidia common stock, 3dfx shall
distribute to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, at 3dfx's election,
either (i) $90 cash per share of Series B Preferred Stock or (ii) one share of
Nvidia stock per share of Series B Preferred Stock (the "Liquidation
Preference"). In the meantime, the prior written consent of the holders of not
less than a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock is
required for 3dfx to make any dividends, distributions or redemptions on any
other securities, or for 3dfx to issue any debt or equity securities, or for
3dfx to enter into any merger, sale of shares of capital stock having voting
power with respect to 35% or more of its outstanding capital stock, or any
transaction in which all or substantially all of the assets of 3dfx are sold.
The holders of Series B Preferred Stock will have certain other rights designed
to protect their investment in 3dfx. The stock purchase agreement with SF
Capital is terminable if the funding amount exceeds the $35 million level or
falls under the $25 million level, if the Nvidia closing price is equal to or
less than $26, if the transaction fails to close within one year, if 3dfx is in
material default of the agreement or if the Nvidia common stock is delisted from
the Nasdaq National Market.
Leases
3dfx leases a manufacturing facility in Juarez, Mexico, which was to expire in
November 2007. On April 19, 2002, 3dfx reached a settlement with the lessor of
its Mexican manufacturing facility that provided for the termination of the
related lease and lease guaranty agreements, in exchange for the payment of
approximately $1.2 million to cover all delinquent rent payments owed for the
period from January 1, 2002 through April 19, 2002 and the rent deficiency for
the remaining lease term (which is comprised of the initial lease payments less
the amount the lessor will receive from the new tenant). As of January 31, 2002,
$1.2 million was accrued for in estimated costs during period of liquidation
relating to this lease termination.
