GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS
Phoenix Technologies
Ltd. (Phoenix or the Company) is a global leader in software to activate, secure, maintain, and connect personal computers (PCs), information appliances, and other digital devices connected to the Internet.
Phoenix provides its products primarily to platform and peripheral manufacturers that range from large PC and information appliance manufacturers to small system integrators and value-added resellers. In addition to key products, Phoenix also
provides support services, such as training, maintenance, and engineering services, to its customers as required. The Company markets and licenses its products and services through a global direct sales force as well as through a network of regional
distributors and sales representatives, resellers, value-added resellers, system integrators, system builders, and generic PC (or White Box) manufacturers.
The global computer industry, driven by the expansion of the Internet, has evolved into a rich connected device ecosystem embracing entirely new categories of
form and functionality, driven by rapid technology changes that include increased processor speeds, hardware miniaturization, portability, and new and improved ways to connect devices and access information and services. Traditional PC platforms
have evolved into endpoints of the Internet and have been joined by a wide array of new innovative devices. These emerging connected digital devices include Internet access terminals, interactive TVs and related set top box solutions,
Internet-enabled DVD players and other traditional consumer electronics devices, wireless handheld appliances, interactive game stations, Web tablets and rack-mounted single board server systems (known as server blades). Together,
todays PC and non-PC digital devices play an integral, and growing role within almost everybodys life.
The Company believes that its products and services enable customers who specify, develop, and manufacture PCs, information appliances, as well as their underlying technology components like
2
semiconductors, to bring robust, leading-edge products to market more quickly, while reducing their manufacturing and support costs and providing essential product differentiation. In particular,
the Company believes that the growth of the Internet and the corresponding introduction of new hardware architectures, microprocessors, peripheral equipment, and operating systems within the PC and information appliance industries has expanded the
range of possible computing options, increased the value of system firmware or BIOS (Basic Input Output System), created a critical need for new network security and software applications capabilities that are built into the device and
broadened the range of real-time, interactive experiences available to end-users. To meet the demand of this changing market, the Company has, through a combination of internal development and acquisitions, launched a series of product families to
offer a range of complete solutions to its customers. In each case, Phoenix products at the core offer an intelligent, secure and reliable platform for delivering high value-added features and functions to a wide range of PC and connected digital
device customers, increasing their competitiveness in the marketplace.
In January 2002, Phoenix acquired certain
assets of a privately-held company, StorageSoft, Inc. (StorageSoft), pursuant to an Asset Acquisition Agreement dated December 21, 2001. StorageSoft was a developer of drive diagnostic utilities and hard drive imaging software that
reduces the cost to own, deploy, and manage multiple PCs. With the acquisition, Phoenix further expanded its next-generation FirstWare product line and distribution channels around the world in the White Box manufacturing and PC system builder markets.
On September 19, 2002, the Company completed the sale of inSilicon Corporation (inSilicon), a majority-owned subsidiary, to Synopsys, Inc.
(Synopsys). Under the terms of the cash tender offer agreement with Synopsys, the Company tendered and sold 10,450,010 shares, or 100% of its ownership interest in inSilicon for $4.05 per share. The sale enables the Company to be more
focused in its own product development and sales into the targeted market place.
The Company was incorporated in
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in September 1979, and was reincorporated in the State of Delaware in December 1986.
DESCRIPTION OF
BUSINESS
The Company currently has one reportable segment, Phoenix, which includes the FirstBIOS, FirstWare,
FirstAuthority, and Information Appliance software product families. inSilicon, a formerly majority-owned subsidiary previously reported as a separate segment, was sold to Synopsys.
As part of the restructuring program announced in October 2001, Phoenix implemented a reorganization that aligned its corporate actions with corporate strategy to improve
customer focus, harmonize product marketing, streamline engineering, and in general create a market-driven company. The new organization is structured by key function, with an emphasis on cross-product sales into new and existing global customers
based upon coordinated account strategies through additional channels.
Business Operations
The Company utilizes a global sales force with sales offices in North America, Europe, Japan and Asia Pacific regions.
Product Background
PC systems, as well as many information appliances and other electronic devices that connect to the Internet, consist of both hardware and system firmware, or BIOS software at the core platform level. These systems and
devices may also use operating system (OS) software and applications software. The firmware or BIOS software is typically stored in flash memory and/or a Read Only Memory (ROM) chip that resides on the devices
motherboard, built into the device, and is executed during power up in order to test, initialize, and manage the functionality of the hardware. Phoenix, with its BIOS and other software products, has been
3
instrumental in the advancement of PC architecture and the growth of the industry over the past 23 years. Phoenix solutions provide the critical link between hardware platforms and operating
systems, while offering improved reliability through FirstWare products, increased security through FirstAuthority solutions and greater flexibility in device selection through its information appliance product, FirstView Connect. In each case,
these product suites provide complete, inter-operable solutions for customers in the traditional PC marketplace, as well as those delivering a new class of non-PC connected digital devices to provide both enhanced traditional experiences and robust
new ones in places that PCs do not reach.
The Phoenix product families are:
FirstBIOS Product Family
The Companys BIOS software products continue to play an essential role in the design of PCs and other devices, providing the critical link between hardware platforms and operating systems. In fiscal year 2002, the
companys FirstBIOS and FirstBIOS Pro products were introduced to meet changing customer requirements for system functionality, as well as to serve as an enabling platform for improved reliability through the use of the FirstWare products
described below and enhanced system security with the inclusion of FirstAuthority solutions mentioned subsequently.
FirstBIOS (upgraded from AwardBIOS) and FirstBIOS Pro (based upon PhoenixBIOS 4.0) were developed to meet the current and emerging requirements of different types of systems built by the Companys manufacturing customers. Among
the distinctions are:
|
|
|
Notebook and new Tablet PC computers developed using the modular architecture of FirstBIOS Pro typically feature more complex peripheral support requirements,
such as advanced digitizers, as well as extensive power management capabilities, including Fast Resume from RAM, Save-to-Disk, and support for smart batteries. |
|
|
|
Many motherboard products used in desktop, workstation, and embedded or industrial PC product systems require extensive manufacturer configuration flexibility,
a feature of the FirstBIOS product family. |
|
|
|
Other desktop and workstation products, as well as server solutions, which have high manageability and customization specifications, require features based in
the modular architecture of FirstBIOS Pro. |
|
|
|
FirstBIOS adds unique firmware based device authentication known as StrongROMTM
that provides foundation for secure chain and trust. |
Customers. The Companys BIOS technology is targeted towards PC OEMs and ODMs, as well as certain embedded systems. The Company has licensed its BIOS technology to
various global technology leaders, including:

Competitors. The Company competes for BIOS sales primarily with in-house research and
development (R&D) departments of PC manufacturers that may have significantly greater financial and technical resources, as well as closer engineering ties and experience with specific hardware platforms, than those of the Company.
During FY2002 several large OEMs/ODMs, notably Toshiba, Inc. and Acer Inc./Wistron Corporation, began converting their in-house BIOS product and R&D engineering teams over to Phoenix BIOS products. The remaining major OEM companies using their
own internal BIOS R&D personnel include Dell Computer Corporation, Hewlett Packard Company, and IBM Corporation (workstation and server only). The Company believes that OEM/ODM customers often license the Companys system software products
rather than develop these products internally in order to: (1) enhance compatibility with the latest industry standards, (2) improve time to market, (3) reduce product development risks, (4) minimize product development and support costs,
(5) differentiate their system offerings with advanced features and/or (6) easily leverage the additional value of other Phoenix solutions, such as FirstWare and FirstAuthority.
The Company also competes for system software business with other independent suppliers, including American Megatrends Inc., a privately held company, and other small BIOS
companies such as General Software, Inc. and Insyde Software, Inc.
FirstWare and Disk Tools Product Family
The Company offers its FirstWare product suite, targeted at reducing OEM/ODM and system builders manufacturing and
technical support costs. This suite includes a product to create a proprietary, protected FirstWare space on a computers hard disk which is visible to, and may only be invoked by, the FirstBIOS during start-up or the Master Boot Record.
Phoenix has also created other value add applications that run within this space. To date, these applications include:
|
|
|
FirstWare Recover: Restores the original factory image (OS and applications software) without the need for a boot disk or recovery CDs
for remote restoration. |
|
|
|
FirstWare Check: Diagnostic tool that quickly differentiates between software and hardware problems for prompt resolution.
|
|
|
|
FirstWare Vault: Windows application that stores virtual CDs in the FirstWare protected area. |
|
|
|
FirstWare Connect: An always-available Internet micro-browser, which can access the manufacturers site(s) via the Internet even
when the OS is corrupted to enable self-help and critical communication. |
|
|
|
FirstWare Rescue: A bundle of FirstWare Recover, Check, and Vault. |
Also included in the product suites, the Company offers ImageCast and other disk preparation and duplication software to assist
manufacturers and others involved in deploying new computers. These disk tools are designed to rapidly install software on a new systems hard disk.
Customers. The FirstWare product family is largely sold to the Companys BIOS customers, as well as systems builders. The Companys major customers for the
FirstWare application and disk tools products include Hewlett Packard Company, Vibren Technologies, Inc., Softex Inc., Founder Computer Systems Co., Ltd., and Legend Holdings Company, Ltd.
Competitors. In the FirstWare applications software area, as with BIOS, the Company competes with in-house solutions to access the protected
area of hard drives. The Companys applications that reside in the protected area compete with individual component software and diagnostic and repair software from other companies, as well as PC manufacturer-developed solutions.
FirstAuthority Product Family
The Phoenix FirstAuthority security solution provides a technology infrastructure and device authentication products at the core of digital devices to complement traditional security
solutions in order to
5
deliver a higher level of trust to the enterprise and to end-users. Applications using this infrastructure for virtual private networks (VPNs) and the Internet are supported by a global network
of Phoenix Regional Device Authorities that provide services to authenticate registered devices on an opt-in basis.
The FirstAuthority family includes the following security products:
|
|
|
StrongROM. StrongROM is software embedded on a ROM chip that contains a number of technologiesFirstBIOS, a cryptographic engine and unique security keys. Any PC, notebook, internet appliance or other
connected digital device that includes a StrongROM-enabled chip on the motherboard is immediately capable of providing second-factor device authentication in conjunction with other user identification security solutions.
|
|
|
|
StrongCLIENT. Equipment Manufacturers offers many of the benefits of StrongROM security technology by adding the device identity to the Windows operating system above the chip level. It allows systems not
equipped with FirstBIOS or StrongROM to use the Phoenix FirstAuthority infrastructure. |
|
|
|
DeviceConnect. Phoenixs DeviceConnect is a client/server software product for integration with many traditional network security solutions, including Check Point VPN-1, Remote Access Dial-in, and Windows NT
Domain Login, which add the intelligence within a corporate network to look for and validate device identities. |
|
|
|
FirstAuthority SDK. The SDK allows software developers and others to incorporate device connect and the authentication
capabilities based upon StrongROM and FirstAuthority technology into their applications. |
Customers. First Authority products are targeted towards enterprise customers, often sold through security solution providers. The Companys major customers for the FirstAuthority product family
include Verisign, Inc. Standard Microsystems Corporation, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, ATI Technologies, Inc., Integrated Technology Express, Inc., Hitachi Ltd., Korea Electronic Certification Authority, Inc., and Safenet, Inc.
Competitors. The Companys security products provide strong two-factor authentication built
into the system through tamperproof firmware when used in conjunction with FirstBIOS products. The Company has architected its security solutions based upon security best practices which recommend a layered solution. Therefore, the Company views its
FirstAuthority products as complementary to other security technologies including tokens, smart cards, and biometrics for the utilization of multi-factor security solutions by customers. Accordingly, customers using the Phoenix FirstAuthority
product family can maintain traditional security solutions that the customers have found to be effective, supplementing them with FirstAuthority products, while also replacing those the customers have found to be ineffective, difficult to maintain
or costly to implement.
FirstView Product Family
The Company provides software for information appliances and other non-PC devices that deliver rich, interactive, Internet-based experiences. Such devices include: Internet
access terminals, interactive TVs and related set top box solutions, Internet-enabled DVD players, wireless handheld appliances, interactive game stations, web tablets and other consumer-centric electronic devices. Solutions based upon these
products leverage many of the same technology underpinnings and capabilities found in the Companys FirstBIOS, FirstAuthority, and FirstWare products.
The Company believes that non-PC Internet enabled devices constitute an entirely new class of business for the company and growing market and revenue opportunity for platform software solutions that
can provide device OEMs with reduced product development costs and risks, improved time-to-market, and reduced manufacturing costs.
6
The Company offers the following product:
|
|
|
FirstView Connect. The FirstView Connect product family provides complete software platforms that enable digital device OEMs/ODMs
to quickly and affordably present robust content and services, delivered in real-time over the Internet to end users as a primary or secondary function of their connected digital devices. With industry-leading, standards-based support and a small
code size, FirstView Connect is designed specifically for the emerging information appliance market. FirstView Connect delivers the easy-to-use, appliance-like experiences that are expected from consumer electronics today.
|
Customers. First View Connect products are targeted towards next generation
information appliance manufacturers, as well as traditional consumer electronics companies. The Companys major customers for the FirstView product family include First International Computer, Inc., VIA Technologies Company, Founder Computer
Systems Co., Ltd., Legend Holdings Company, Ltd., and eHomeTV, Ltd.
Competitors. FirstView Connect and the related information appliance products compete with products from other operating system and software developers, who may have greater resources than those of the
Company. These companies include Wind River Systems, Inc. and Microsoft Corporation. The Company also competes with smaller embedded software providers such as Opera Software ASA, Planetweb, Inc. and ACCESS Co. Ltd., who may have been focused on
certain segments of the information appliance market.
Significant Customers
One customer, Fujitsu Limited, accounted for 14%, 11% and 18% of total revenues in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000 respectively. Another
customer, Sony Corporation, accounted for 14% of revenues in fiscal 2001. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of revenues in fiscal 2002, 2001, or 2000.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
The Company constantly seeks to
develop new products, maintain and enhance its current product lines, maintain technological competitiveness, and meet continually changing customer and market requirements. The companys research and development expenditures in fiscal years
2002, 2001, and 2000 were $27.6 million, $34.4 million, and $31.3 million, respectively. All of Phoenixs expenditures for research and development have been expensed as incurred. At October 31, 2002, its research and development and customer
engineering group included 305 full-time employees.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND OTHER PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
The Company relies primarily on U.S. and foreign patents, trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights, and contractual agreements to establish
and maintain proprietary rights in its technology. The Company has an active program to file applications for and obtain patents in the U.S. and in selected foreign countries where a potential market for its products exists. As of September 30,
2002, the Company had been issued 41 patents in the U.S. and has 61 patent applications in process in the United States Patent and Trademark Office. On a worldwide basis, the Company has been issued 70 patents with respect to its current product
offerings and has 175 patent applications pending with respect to certain of the products it markets. There can be no assurance that any of these patents would be upheld as valid if challenged.
The Companys general policy has been to seek patent protection for those inventions and improvements likely to be incorporated in its products or otherwise
expected to be of long-term value. The Company protects the source code of its products as trade secrets and as unpublished copyrighted works. It also initiates litigation where appropriate to protect its rights in that intellectual property. The
Company licenses the source code for its products to its customers for limited uses. Wide dissemination of its software products makes protection of its proprietary rights difficult, particularly outside the United States. Although it is possible
for competitors or users to make illegal copies of its products, the Company believes the rate of technology change and the continual addition of new product features lessen the impact of illegal copying.
7
In recent years, there has been a marked increase in the number of patents
applied for and issued with respect to software products. Although the Company believes that its products do not infringe on any copyright or other proprietary rights of third parties, the Company has no assurance that third parties will not obtain,
or do not have, intellectual property rights covering features of its products, in which event the Company or its customers might be required to obtain licenses to use such features. If an intellectual property rights holder refuses to grant a
license on reasonable terms or at all, the Company may be required to alter certain products or stop marketing them.
EMPLOYEES
As of October 31, 2002, Phoenix employed 542 full-time employees worldwide, of whom 305 were in research and
development and customer engineering, 141 were in sales and marketing, and 96 were in general administration. Phoenixs employees are not represented by a labor organization, and the Company has never experienced a work stoppage. The Company
considers its employee relations to be satisfactory.
COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
To the Companys present knowledge, compliance with federal, state and local provisions enacted or adopted for protection of the
environment has had no material effect upon its operations.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Companys corporate headquarters are located in a facility in San Jose, California, which the Company leases pursuant to a lease
agreement expiring December 15, 2003. In fiscal 1997, the Company entered into a five-year lease agreement for a facility in Irvine, California. The Irvine lease was renewed in August 2001 for an additional seven years effective March 1, 2002. The
Company also leases smaller office facilities in other locations including: Norwood, Massachusetts; Beaverton, Oregon; Louisville, Colorado; Brookfield, Wisconsin; Houston and Austin, Texas; Taipei, Taiwan; Hong Kong; Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing,
and Nanjing, China; Tokyo and Osaka, Japan; Seoul, Korea; Budapest, Hungary; Munich, Germany and Maarssen, The Netherlands. These offices generally provide engineering, sales, and technical support to its customers.
The Company considers its leased properties to be in good condition, well maintained, and generally suitable for their present and
foreseeable future needs. The Company believes its facilities are adequate for its current needs and that suitable additional or substitute space will be available as needed to accommodate any expansion of its operations.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company, from time to time, becomes involved in litigation claims and disputes in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not currently involved in any pending legal proceeding that it
believes is material to its business.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

In January 2002, Phoenix acquired certain assets of a privately
held company, StorageSoft, Inc. (StorageSoft), pursuant to an Asset Acquisition Agreement dated December 21, 2001. StorageSoft is a developer of drive diagnostic utilities and hard drive imaging software that reduces the cost to own,
deploy, and manage multiple PCs. This acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business were included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2002.
The results of operations from the date of acquisitions through September 30, 2002 were included in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2002.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, Phoenix completed the sale of inSilicon. Prior period results have been re-categorized to reflect inSilicon as discontinued
operations.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Company Overview
Phoenix is a global leader in software to activate, secure, maintain, and connect personal computers, information appliances, and other digital devices connected to
the Internet. We provide our products primarily to platform and peripheral manufacturers that range from large PC and information appliance manufacturers to small system integrators and value-added resellers. In addition to key products, we also
provide support services, such as training, maintenance, and engineering services, to our customers as required. We market and license our products and services through a global direct sales force as well as through a network of regional
distributors and sales representatives, resellers, value-added resellers, system integrators, system builders, and generic PC (or White Box) manufacturers.
We believe that our products and services enable customers who specify, develop, and manufacture PCs, information appliances, as well as their underlying technology
components like semiconductors, to bring robust, leading-edge products to market more quickly, while reducing their manufacturing and support costs and providing essential product differentiation. In particular, we believe that the growth of the
Internet and the corresponding introduction of new hardware architectures, microprocessors, peripheral equipment, and operating systems within the PC and information appliance industries has expanded the range of possible computing options,
increased the value of system firmware or BIOS, created a critical need for new network security and software applications capabilities that are built into the device and broadened the range of real-time, interactive experiences available to
end-users. To meet the demand of this changing market, we have, through a combination of internal development and acquisition, launched a series of product families to offer a range of complete
13
solutions to our customers. In each case, Phoenix products at the core offer an intelligent, secure and reliable platform for delivering high value-added features and functions to a wide range of
PC and connected digital device customers, increasing their competitiveness in the marketplace.
Critical Accounting Policies and
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses for the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including but not limited
to, a) revenue recognition; b) allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable; c) accruals for employee benefits, restructuring and related costs, sales allowances, and taxes; and d) useful lives and realizability of carrying values for property
and equipment, computer software costs, other intangibles, and prepaid royalties. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The operating results for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results for
any future period.
The following critical accounting policies, among others, are impacted significantly by
judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for more information about these critical accounting
policies, as well as descriptions of other significant accounting policies.
Revenue
Recognition. Phoenix licenses software under non-cancelable license agreements and provides services including non-recurring engineering efforts, maintenance consisting of product support services and rights to unspecified
upgrades on a when-and-if available basis, and training. Generally, our products are incorporated into the products of our OEM/ODM customers.
Royalty revenues from OEMs/ODMs are generally recognized in each period based on estimated shipments made by the OEMs/ODMs of products containing our software during the period. Since we generally
receive quarterly royalty reports from our OEMs/ODMs approximately 45 to 60 days following the end of the quarter, we have put processes in place to reasonably estimate the royalty revenues, including obtaining estimates of production from our
OEM/ODM customers, utilizing historical experience, and other relevant current information. We accrued $2.4 million of royalty revenues from our OEM/ODM customers as of September 30, 2002 compared with $7.5 million as of September 30, 2001. This
decrease is due primarily to a decrease in overall PC shipments, especially in the Japanese market. Although management believes that it has a reliable basis for making reasonable estimates, the actual results could differ depending on customer or
market factors.
Revenues from OEMs/ODMs for initial, non-refundable royalties relating to volume royalty license
agreements are recorded when all revenue recognition criteria have been met. We recorded $31.0 million of revenues from OEM/ODM customers relating to volume royalty license agreements in fiscal 2002 compared to $30.0 million in the prior year. These
agreements were non refundable. If there is a change in the customers buying pattern in a future quarter, there could be a quarter in which revenue is lower from the customer.
Allowance for Sales and Doubtful Accounts. We record provisions for estimated sales allowances against revenues in the same period as the
related revenues are recorded. Provision for doubtful accounts are recorded in general and administrative expenses. At September 30, 2002 and 2001, the allowance for sales and doubtful accounts was $1.9 million. These estimates are based on our
assessment of the collectibility of specific customer accounts, the aging of the accounts receivable, historical sales returns, analysis of credit memo data, bad debt write-offs, and other known factors. If economic or specific industry trends
worsen beyond our estimates, or if there is a deterioration of our major customers credit worthiness, or actual defaults are higher than our estimates based on historical experience, we would increase the allowances for sales and doubtful
accounts which would impact revenue and expense, respectively, as appropriate.
14
Intangible Assets. Intangible assets include
prepaid royalties, purchased technologies, goodwill and other intangibles. At September 30, 2002 and 2001, these assets totaled $37.1 million and $26.1 million, respectively.
Prepaid royalties represent payments to several third party technology partners for their software that is incorporated into certain of our products. All other intangible
assets were derived from our acquisitions. The cost of the acquisitions is allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired, including intangible assets based on their respective estimated fair value at the date of acquisition, with the remaining
amount being classified as goodwill. The useful life of the intangible assets was estimated based on the period over which the assets were expected to contribute directly and indirectly to the future cash flows. Under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142) which became
effective on July 1, 2001, goodwill arising from acquisitions subsequent to June 30, 2001 and any existing goodwill on October 1, 2002 are not amortized to expense but rather periodically assessed for impairment. See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for details regarding SFAS 141 and 142.
Accordingly, the allocation of the acquisition cost
to intangible assets and goodwill has a significant impact on our future operating results. The recorded values of intangible assets and goodwill are based on third-party appraisals. The allocation process requires the extensive use of estimates and
assumptions, including estimates of future cash flows expected to be generated by the acquired assets.
In
assessing the recoverability of these assets, we performed reviews and made assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. If these estimates or their related assumptions
change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets not previously recorded.
Income TaxesEstimates of Effective Tax Rates, Deferred Taxes Assets and Valuation Allowance. When preparing our financial statements, we estimate our income taxes based on the various jurisdictions
where we conduct business. This requires us to estimate our actual current tax exposure and to assess temporary differences that result from differing treatment of certain items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred
tax assets and liabilities, then we must perform quarterly assessment of the recoverability of the deferred income tax assets, which is principally dependent upon our ability to achieve projected future taxable income in specific geographies. To the
extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we establish a valuation allowance. When we establish a valuation allowance or increase this allowance in an accounting period, we must record a tax expense in our statement of operations.
Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities
and any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax asset. Our net deferred tax asset as of September 30, 2002 was $12.6 million, net of the valuation allowance of $5.4 million. We recorded the valuation allowance to reflect uncertainties
about whether we will be able to utilize some of our deferred tax assets (consisting primarily of foreign tax and R&D credits) before they expire. The valuation allowance is based on our estimates of taxable income for the jurisdictions in which
we operate and the period over which our deferred tax assets will be recoverable. While we have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, we cannot
assure that we will not be required to increase the valuation allowance to take into account additional deferred tax assets that we may be unable to realize. If we increase the valuation allowance, it could have an adverse impact on our income tax
provision and net income in the period in which we make the increase. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more detail.
Business Combinations
In January 2002, we acquired certain assets of a privately
held company, StorageSoft, Inc. (StorageSoft), for a total purchase price of $13.4 million in cash and Phoenixs common stock, pursuant to an Asset Acquisition
15
Agreement dated December 21, 2001. StorageSoft is a developer of drive diagnostic utilities and hard drive imaging software that reduces the cost to own, deploy, and manage multiple PCs. With the
acquisition, we further expanded our next-generation FirstWare product line and distribution
channels in the generic PC (or White Box) manufacturing and PC system builder markets.
During fiscal
2001, we completed two business combinations. In February 2001, Phoenix acquired Integrity Sciences, Inc. (Integrity Sciences), a provider of core computer security products, which developed and marketed strong password technology for a
purchase price of $3.9 million in cash and Phoenix common stock. In March 2001, Phoenix acquired certain assets of Ravisent Technologies, Inc. (Ravisent Technologies), a provider of digital audio and video software solutions and internet
appliance technology for $19.0 million in cash. There were no acquisitions or business combinations during fiscal 2000.
The acquisition agreement with Integrity Sciences includes an earn-out agreement over a five year period of up to 100,000 shares of Phoenixs common stock and cash payments of $1.5 million, if certain revenues and technology
criteria are met. There is no minimum payment requirement in the earn-out agreement. No payments have been earned through September 30, 2002.
The acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses were included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of
September 30, 2002 and 2001. The results of operations from the date of acquisitions through September 30, 2002 and 2001 were included in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the years ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.
Discontinued Operations
On September 19, 2002, we completed the sale of inSilicon to Synopsys. Under the terms of the cash tender offer agreement with Synopsys, we tendered and sold 10,450,010 inSilicon shares, or 100% of our
ownership interest in inSilicon for $4.05 per share. Included under the caption of Discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations are (1) loss from discontinued operations and (2) gain on disposal of discontinued
operations, net of tax. In fiscal 2002, loss from discontinued operations of $6.9 million represents inSilicons net loss, net of tax provision of $0.5 million, from the beginning of the period through July 23, 2002, the date we announced our
agreement with Synopsys to sell inSilicon. Net gain on disposal of $5.3 million includes a pretax gain of $20.6 million, a tax provision of $13.5 million, offset by inSilicons net loss of $1.8 million, net of tax benefit of $0.2 million,
which was incurred during the phaseout period between July 24, 2002 and September 19, 2002. Furthermore, the sale of inSilicon generated net cash proceeds of $41.4 million after transaction costs of $0.9 million.
Also, as a result of the sale, all prior periods presented have been reclassified to reflect inSilicons financial results as
discontinued operations.

Total revenues in fiscal 2002 decreased by $9.3 million (or 9.1%) from fiscal
2001. The decrease is primarily a result of the continued global economic slowdown and softness in the PC market, particularly in the notebook and desktop market.
In fiscal 2002, North America, Japan, and other Asian countries revenues decreased while Taiwan and Europe revenues increased. The decrease in Japan and other Asian
countries was due primarily to the continued slowdown in the Japan and Korean PC markets and economic weakness in those regions. There was also a shift of revenues from the Japanese branded OEMs to the Taiwan ODMs. The increase in Taiwan and Europe
was attributed to slight recovery in the local economies from 2001. North American revenues remained relatively flat from 2001 to 2002.
In fiscal 2001, revenues from North America, Taiwan, Japan and Europe decreased while other Asian countries increased. The decrease was due primarily to the economic slowdown in the global economy which had a significant
impact on the PC market. The increase in other Asian countries was attributed to improved sales development efforts in Korea and China.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2002, we entered into multiple agreements with VeriSign, Inc. (VeriSign) to license and sell each partys respective security products and to provide each partys
respective maintenance and support services and to receive certain outsourced data hosting service from VeriSign. Revenue from this arrangement was recorded for products and services sold to VeriSign net of products and services purchased from
VeriSign. Our net revenue from the arrangement is approximately $2.2 million, of which approximately $1.6 million has been recognized in fiscal 2002. The remaining net revenues are to be recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2003.
One customer, Fujitsu Limited, accounted for 14%, 11% and 18% of total revenues in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000 respectively.
Another customer, Sony Corporation, accounted for 14% of revenues in fiscal 2001. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of revenues in fiscal 2002, 2001, or 2000.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin
Gross margin as a
percentage of revenues was 85%, 82%, and 85% for fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. Included in the costs of revenues was $3.1 million, $0.8 million, and $nil million of amortization of purchased technologies from business combinations for
fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. Also included in the costs of revenues in fiscal 2000 was a reversal of $1.9 million of Year 2000 (Y2K) support cost which was accrued during the previous year.
For fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000, gross margin as a percentage of revenues before the amortization of purchased technology and software
development costs, and reversal of Y2K support costs was 88%, 83%, and 83%, respectively. The increase in gross margin in fiscal 2002 from fiscal 2001 was due to higher margin license revenues comprising a higher percentage of total revenues. Gross
margin was flat from fiscal 2001 to 2000.
License fee gross margin as a percentage of license fee revenues was
94%, 97% and 98% in fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000 respectively. The decrease in license fee gross margin in fiscal 2002 from 2001 was due to lower margins from security and information appliance product sales. Service gross margin as a percentage of
services revenues was 30%, -23% and -22% in fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000 respectively. The improvement in service gross margin from 2001 to 2002 was due to a change in the business model to reduce customization and increased effort to lower
outsourced non-recurring engineering costs.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses were $27.6 million, $34.4 million, and $31.3 million in fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. As a
percentage of revenues, these expenses represented 30%, 34%, and 26%, in
18
fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. In fiscal 2002, research and development expenses decreased by $6.8 million (or 20%) due primarily to reduced payroll and related expenses, as a result
of the restructuring program implemented during the first quarter of fiscal 2002, tighter spending control, and implementation of a more disciplined market driven product development process, offset by additional personnel costs from the StorageSoft
acquisition. In fiscal 2001, research and development expenses increased by $3.1 million (or 10%) due to increased expenses relating to acquisitions and establishment of a new development center in Asia.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses were $32.5 million, $27.9 million, and $23.5 million in fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses represented 35%, 27% and 20% in fiscal 2002, 2001,
and 2000, respectively. In fiscal 2002, sales and marketing expenses increased by $4.6 million (or 16%) due primarily to re-allocation of resources to enhance sales and marketing functions to be more customer-focused and additional personnel costs
from the StorageSoft acquisition to expand channel sales, offset by workforce reduction programs and disciplines in discretionary spending. In fiscal 2001, sales and marketing expenses increased by $4.4 million (or 19%) due primarily to the increase
in the size of our direct sales force and the expansion of our distribution channels to position ourselves for growth in new products in targeted market segments.
General and Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative expenses were $18.5 million, $19.8 million, and $16.4 million in fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses represented 20%, 19%, and 14% in fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. In
fiscal 2002, general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.3 million (or 7%) due primarily to reduced payroll and related expenses, as a result of the restructuring program implemented during the first quarter of fiscal 2002 and
disciplines in discretionary spending. In fiscal 2001, the general and administrative expenses increased by $3.4 million (or 21%) due to investment in infrastructure, including setting up new foreign offices. Also included in the fiscal 2001 general
and administrative expenses was an increase in bad debt provision of $0.8 million from fiscal 2000 resulting from the market slowdown.
Amortization of goodwill and acquired intangibles
The amounts allocated to Goodwill
associated with acquisitions completed prior to July 1, 2001, are being amortized using straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of five to six years. Goodwill associated with acquisitions completed subsequent to June 30, 2001 are not
being amortized. Amortization expenses were $2.3 million, $1.1 million, and zero in fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. In fiscal 2002, amortization expense increased by $1.2 million from fiscal 2001, primarily due to various purchase
acquisitions completed since February 2001 (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). There was no amortization expense in fiscal 2000. Upon adoption of SFAS 142 on October 1, 2002, amortization of goodwill will cease. See New
Accounting Pronouncements for more details.
Stock-Based Compensation
The stock-based compensation expenses were $0.5 million, $0.7 million, and $0.1 million in fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.
Charges in fiscal 2002 and 2001 were primarily due to the amortization of options granted to purchase stock at exercise prices less than the fair market value on the measurement date.
Restructuring Costs
Restructuring charges
for fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000, were $3.5 million, $1.5 million, and $1.3 million, respectively.
19
2002 Charges
In October 2001, we announced a restructuring program that identified and eliminated approximately 140 positions across all business functions from its global
workforce, including several senior management positions. This restructuring program was to reduce our on-going operating expense level. This reduction resulted in a net charge of $3.5 million, comprised of $3.9 million of severance charges in the
first quarter of fiscal 2002 and $0.4 million credit in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002. At September 30, 2002, all terminations were completed and $3.2 million of the severance and outplacement expenses were paid and the remaining $0.3 million is
expected to be paid through the third quarter of fiscal 2004. As a result of the restructuring program announced in October 2001, our estimated pretax savings were $14.0 million on an annualized basis starting from the second quarter of fiscal 2002.
2001 Charges
In April 2001, in efforts to optimize operational efficiency and change our business strategy to address changes in customer demands, we reduced our global workforce by
approximately 70 employees across all business functions. All terminations were completed as of September 30, 2001. The restructuring program resulted in a charge of approximately $1.5 million for severance and related cost in the third quarter of
fiscal 2001 and all charges were paid as of December 31, 2001. As a result of the restructuring program, our estimated pretax savings in operating expenses were approximately $9.0 million on an annualized basis.
2000 Charges
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, Phoenix recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $1.3 million for severance benefits associated with the elimination of three management positions. The charges were related to
the streamlining of certain management functions in Taiwan and North America. All terminations were completed as of September 30, 2000.
Interest and Other Income, Net
Net interest and other income was $0.4 million, $1.8
million, and $2.8 million in fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. Net interest and other income consists mostly of interest income, which is primarily derived from cash and short-term investments. The income generated each period is highly
dependent on available cash and fluctuations in government interest rates. The average interest rate earned in fiscal 2002 was approximately 1.6%. All of the cash equivalents and short-term investments are in USD and are not subject to fluctuations
in foreign currency exchange rates. Interest income was $0.6 million, $1.9 million, and $3.2 million in fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. Interest income decreased by $1.3 million in both fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in
interest income in both years was primarily due to lower yields from decreased interest rates and lower average cash and short-term investment balance due to funding various acquisitions and stock repurchase programs during the year.
Gain/Loss on Investment
Gain (loss) on investment was $0.2 million, ($2.0 million), and $nil in fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. Equity investments in companies in which Phoenix does not have significant influence, which is usually when
ownership is less than 20%, are included in other assets. These investments are accounted for using the cost method. These investments are assessed for impairment periodically through review of operations and indications of continued viability, such
as subsequent rounds of financing. In fiscal 2002, we recorded a gain of $0.2 million from the sale of our remaining equity investment. During fiscal 2001, as a result of the deterioration of financial markets and the corresponding effect on company
valuations and financing prospects, Phoenix recorded $2.7 million in losses for other than temporary declines in the value of investments in these companies. Phoenix did not record any impairment charges in fiscal 2002. Net loss on investment in
fiscal 2001 was
20
$2.0 million, resulting from $2.7 million of write-down netted against $0.7 million of gain on sale of investments.
Provision for Income Taxes
Phoenix recorded an
income tax benefit of $1.7 million and income tax provisions of $1.2 million and $9.3 million, reflecting effective tax rates of 34%, (87%), and 29% in fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. The effective tax rates in 2002 and 2001 differed
from the expected benefit derived by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate to the losses before taxes primarily due to the foreign withholding taxes. The effective tax rate in 2000 differed from the expected tax provision derived by applying
the U.S. federal statutory tax rate to the income before taxes due to various federal and state tax credits and lower tax rates imposed on foreign earnings in certain jurisdictions.
Financial Condition
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity include cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, totaling
$76.3 million and $33.0 million at September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Consolidated cash and cash equivalents were $25.2 million at September 30, 2002 and consolidated short-term investment totaled $51.1 million at September 30,
2002. We believe that current cash and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital requirements on a short-term and long-term basis.
Stock Repurchase Program
In October 2002, the Board
of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $15.0 million of Phoenixs common stock over a twelve-month period. As of October 31, 2002, we repurchased approximately 1,333,000 shares of common stock at a cost of $4.9 million under the fiscal
2003 repurchase program.
In February 2001, the Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $30.0
million of outstanding shares of common stock over a 12-month period. In fiscal 2001, we repurchased approximately 469,000 shares at a cost of approximately $5.1 million under the 2001 repurchase program. Also, in the first quarter of fiscal 2002,
we repurchased approximately 109,000 shares at a cost of approximately $1.0 million under the same repurchase program.
In fiscal 2000, the Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase outstanding shares of common stock over a 24-month period. Under this program, we repurchased approximately 836,000 shares during fiscal 2000 at a cost of
$14.5 million. Also, in first quarter of fiscal 2001, we repurchased approximately 1,028,000 shares at a cost of approximately $15.9 million under the 2000 repurchase program and completed the program.
Commitments
We have commitments under operating leases ranging from one to eight years for $12.3 million. We also entered into agreements to license third party software that would be incorporated into certain of our products and are committed
to pay $0.9 million and $0.8 million in fiscal 2003 and 2004, respectively. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Changes in Financial Condition

repurchase of the our common stock of $1.0 million.
We reported $30.0 million consolidated cash and cash

Phoenixs common stock, offset by $18.3 million generated from the exercise of common stock options and the issuance of stock under the Phoenixs employee stock purchase plans.
Business Risks
The additional following
factors should be considered carefully when evaluating our business.
Fluctuations in Operating Results
The tables in Part II, Item 6 of this Form 10-K include selected unaudited quarterly consolidated data for fiscal 2002 and
2001. This information was derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements that, in the opinion of management, reflect all recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present this information, when read in conjunction with our annual
Consolidated Financial Statements. The results of operations for any period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period.
Our future operating results may vary substantially from period to period. The timing and amount of our license fees are subject to a number of factors that make estimating revenues and operating
results prior to the end of a quarter uncertain. While we receive recurring revenues on royalty-based license agreements and some agreements contain minimum quarterly royalty commitments, a significant amount of license fees in any quarter is
dependent on signing agreements and delivering the licensed software in that quarter. Generally, we experience a pattern of recording 50% or more of our quarterly revenues in the third month of the quarter. We have
22
historically monitored our revenue bookings through regular, periodic worldwide forecast reviews within the quarter. These reviews keep management informed of areas where additional selling
efforts may be needed in order to meet the internal plans and market expectations. There can be no assurances that this process will result in our meeting revenue expectations. Operating expenses for any year are normally based on the attainment of
planned revenue levels for that year and are generally incurred ratably throughout the year. As a result, if revenues were less than planned in any period while expense levels remain relatively fixed, our operating results would be adversely
affected for that period. In addition, unplanned expenses could adversely affect operating results for the period in which such expenses were incurred.
Product Development
Our long-term success will depend on our ability to enhance
existing products and to introduce new products timely and cost-effectively that meet the needs of customers in present and emerging markets. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in developing new products or in enhancing existing
products or that new or enhanced products will meet market requirements. Delays in introducing new products can adversely impact acceptance and revenues generated from the sale of such products. We have, from time to time, experienced such delays.
Our software products and their enhancements contain complex code that may contain undetected errors and/or bugs when first introduced. There can be no assurance that new products or enhancements will not contain errors or bugs that will adversely
affect commercial acceptance of such new products or enhancements. The introduction of new products in the short term will also depend on acceptance of our FirstWare applications and adoption of internet appliances.
Dependence on New Product Releases by Our Customers
Our customers new product introduction schedule may influence our ability to successfully take our new applications to market. Many of our customers new products would typically include our
new offerings. These new devices play a critical role in increasing our core business average selling prices, as they offer added functionality, enhance additional sales of existing products, and enable other new product suites. Many of our
customers current products were introduced prior to the release of our new application products.
Due to
continued economic downturn and market uncertainties, many customers have delayed their product introductions, specifically in the notebook and non-PC segments. If our customers continue to delay their product introductions, our ability to generate
revenue from our new application products may be adversely affected.
Unfavorable Economic and Market Conditions
Adverse economic conditions worldwide have contributed to slowdowns in the PC and information appliance
industries and may continue to impact our business, resulting in:
|
|
|
Reduced demand for our products as a result of a decrease in capital spending by our customers; |
|
|
|
Increased price competition for our products, partially as a consequence of price pressure in the PC markets; and |
|
|
|
Delays in new product introduction and acceptance by our customers. |
|
|
|
Higher operating expenses as a percentage of revenues. |
Recent political turmoil in many parts of the world, including terrorist and military actions, may continue to put pressure on global economic conditions. If the economic
and market conditions in the United States and globally do not improve, or if they deteriorate further, we may continue to experience material adverse impacts on our business, operating results, and financial condition as a consequence of the above
factors or otherwise.
23
Risks in Acquisitions
Our growth is dependent upon market growth, our ability to enhance our existing products, and introduce new products on a timely basis. We have and will continue to address the need to develop new
products through acquisitions of other companies and technologies. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including the following:
|
|
|
Difficulties in integrating the operations, technologies, products and personnel of the acquired companies; |
|
|
|
Diversion of managements attention from normal daily operations of the business; |
|
|
|
Potential difficulties in completing projects associated with in-process research and development; |
|
|
|
Difficulties in entering markets in which we have no or limited direct prior experience and where competitors in such markets have stronger market positions;
|
|
|
|
Insufficient revenues to offset increased expenses associated with acquisitions; and |
|
|
|
Potential loss of key employees of the acquired companies. |
Acquisitions may also cause us to:
|
|
|
Issue common stock that would dilute our current shareholders percentage ownership; |
|
|
|
Record goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets that will be subject to impairment testing and potential periodic impairment charges;
|
|
|
|
Incur amortization expenses related to certain intangible assets; |
|
|
|
Incur large and immediate write-offs of in process research and development costs; or |
|
|
|
Become subject to litigation. |
Mergers and acquisitions of high-technology companies are inherently risky, and no assurance can be given that our previous or future acquisitions will be successful and will not adversely affect our business, operating
results, or financial condition. Failure to manage and successfully integrate acquisitions we make could harm our business and operating results in a material way. Even when an acquired company has already developed and marketed products, there can
be no assurance that product enhancements will be made in a timely fashion or that all preacquisition due diligence will have identified all possible issues that might arise with respect to such products.
We have not made acquisitions that result in in-process research and development expenses being charged in an individual quarter. These
charges may occur in future acquisitions in any particular quarter resulting in variability in our quarterly earnings.
Entrance
Into New or Developing Markets
As we focus on new market opportunities, we will increasingly compete with
large, established suppliers as well as startup companies. Some of our current and potential competitors may have greater resources, including technical and engineering resources, than we do. Additionally, as customers in these markets mature and
expand, they may require greater levels of service and support than we have provided in the past. We expect that demand for these types of service and support may increase in the future. There can be no assurance that we can provide products,
service, and support to effectively compete for these market opportunities. Further, provision of greater levels of services by us may result in a delay in the timing of revenue recognition.
Litigation Risks
From time to time, we
become involved in litigation claims and disputes in the ordinary course of business. Litigation can be expensive, lengthy, and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of
24
complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict. An unfavorable resolution of a particular lawsuit could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, or financial
condition. For additional information regarding certain of the lawsuits in which we are involved, see Item 3, Legal Proceedings, contained in Part I of this Report.
Effective Tax Rates
Our future effective tax rates
could be adversely affected by earnings being lower than anticipated in jurisdictions where we have lower statutory rates, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, or by changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof.
Protection of Intellectual Property
We rely on a combination of patent, trade secret, copyright, trademark, and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights in our software products. There can be
no assurance that these protections will be adequate or that competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology. In addition, copyright and trade secret protection for our products
may be unavailable or unreliable in certain foreign countries. As of September 30, 2002, we had been issued 41 patents in the U.S. and had 61 patent applications in process in the United States Patent and Trademark Office. On a worldwide basis, we
have been issued 70 patents with respect to our current product offerings and have 175 patent applications pending with respect to certain of the products we market. We maintain an active internal program designed to identify internally developed
inventions worthy of being patented. There can be no assurance that any of the applications pending will be approved and patents issued or that our engineers will be able to develop technologies capable of being patented. Also, as the number of
software patents increases, we believe that companies that develop software products may become increasingly subject to infringement claims.
There can be no assurance that a third party will not assert that our patents or other proprietary rights are violated by products offered by us. Any such claims, whether or not meritorious, may be
time consuming and expensive to defend, can trigger indemnity obligations owed by us to third parties, and may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Infringement of valid patents or copyrights or
misappropriation of valid trade secrets, whether alleged against us, or our customers, and regardless of whether such claims have merit, could also have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Importance of Microsoft and Intel
For a number of years, we have worked closely with leading software and semiconductor companies in developing standards for the PC industry. We remain optimistic regarding relationships with these
industry leaders. However, there can be no assurance that leading software and semiconductor companies will not develop alternative product strategies that could conflict with our product plans and marketing strategies. Action by such companies may
adversely impact our business and results of operations. Presently, there is little overlap or conflict in our product offerings, although these companies now incorporate some functionality that has traditionally resided in the BIOS. These leading
software and semiconductor companies, in their endeavors to add value, incorporate features or functions provided by us either in the silicon or in the operating system. Therefore, we must continuously create new features and functions to sustain,
as well as increase, our softwares added value to OEMs/ODMs. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in these efforts.
Attraction and Retention of Key Personnel
Our ability to achieve our revenue and
operating performance objectives will depend in part on our ability to attract and retain top tier engineering, sales, marketing, and administrative personnel. Security and Internet products are based on new and emerging technologies that are
different from BIOS technologies. The available pool of engineering talent is limited for all lines of businesses despite the current economic downturn. Accordingly, failure to attract, retain and grow our talents could adversely affect our business
and operating
25
results. All of our executive officers and key personnel are employees at-will. We might not be able to execute our business plan if we were to lose the services of any of our key personnel. Some
of our executives and key employees joined us only recently and have had only a limited time to work together.
Dependence on Key
Customers; Concentration of Credit Risk
The loss of any key customer and our inability to replace
revenues provided by a key customer may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Our customer base includes large OEMs in the PC, semiconductor and Internet markets, system integrator value-added resellers, and
motherboard manufacturers. As a result, we maintain individually significant receivable balances due from some of them. If these customers fail to meet guaranteed minimum royalty payments and other payment obligations, our operating results and
financial condition could be adversely affected. As of September 30, 2002, one customer, Fujitsu Limited, accounted for 18% of our total accounts receivable.
Competition
We compete for BIOS sales primarily with in-house research and
development departments of PC manufacturers that may have significantly greater financial and technical resources, as well as closer engineering ties and experience with specific hardware platforms than us. There can be no assurance that intense
competition in the industry and particular actions of our competitors will not have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Due to the competitive nature of the business and the overall price pressures within
the PC market, we expect that prices on many of our products may decrease in the future and that such price decreases could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition. We also compete for system software business
with other independent suppliers, and other small BIOS companies.
In the FirstWare applications software area, as
with BIOS, we compete with in-house solutions to access the protected area of hard drives. Our applications that reside in the protected area compete with individual component software and diagnostic and repair software from other companies, as well
as PC manufacturer-developed solutions.
FirstView Connect and the related information appliance products compete
with products from other operating system and software developers, who may have greater resources than us. We also compete with smaller embedded software integrators who may have been focused on certain segments of the information appliance market.
International Sales and Activities
Revenues derived from the international operations of our BIOS and FirstBIOS product family comprise a majority of total revenues. There can be no assurances that we will not experience significant
fluctuations in international revenues. While the major portion of our license fee or royalty contracts are U.S. dollar denominated, we are entering into a number of contracts denominated in local currencies. We have international sales and
engineering offices in Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and China. Our operations and financial results may be adversely affected by factors associated with international operations, such as changes in foreign currency
exchange rates, uncertainties relative to regional economic circumstances, political instability in emerging markets, difficulties in attracting qualified employees, and language, cultural and other difficulties managing foreign operations.
Volatile Market for Phoenix Stock
The market for our stock is highly volatile. The trading price of our common stock has been, and will continue to be, subject to fluctuations in response to operating and financial results,
announcements of technological innovations, new products or customer contracts by us or our competitors, changes in our or our competitors product mix or product direction, changes in our revenue mix and revenue growth rates, changes in
26
expectations of growth for the PC industry, as well as other events or factors which we may not be able to influence or control. Statements or changes in opinions, ratings or earnings estimates
made by brokerage firms and industry analysts relating to the market in which we do business, companies with which we compete or relating to us specifically could have an immediate and adverse effect on the market price of our stock. In addition,
the stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market price for many small capitalization, high-technology companies and have often included factors other than the
operating performance of these companies.
Certain Anti-Takeover Effects
Our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and Stockholder Rights Plan and the Delaware General Corporation Law include provisions that may
be deemed to have anti-takeover effects and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt that stockholders might consider in their best interests. These include provisions under which members of the Board of Directors are divided into three
classes and are elected to serve staggered three-year terms.
Business Disruptions
While we have not been the target of software viruses specifically designed to impede the performance of our products, such viruses could
be created and deployed against our products in the future. Similarly, experienced computer programmers or hackers may attempt to penetrate our network security or the security of our web sites from time to time. A hacker who penetrates our network
or web sites could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions of our services. We might be required to expend significant capital and resources to protect against, or to alleviate, problems caused by virus creators and/or hackers.
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and foreign currency fluctuations.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio. We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Our investments are in debt instruments of the
U.S. Government and its agencies, and in high-quality corporate issuers and, by policy, limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. We protect and preserve our invested funds by limiting default, market and reinvestment risk. Investments
in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities will have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may
produce less income than expected if there is a decline in interest rates. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations, or we may suffer a loss in principal if we are forced to sell securities, which
have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates.
Foreign Currency Risk
International sales are primarily sourced in their respective countries and are mostly denominated in U.S. dollars. These subsidiaries
incur most of their expenses in the local currency. Accordingly, all foreign subsidiaries use the local currency as their functional currency. Our international business is subject to risks typical of an international business, including, but not
limited to differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility. Accordingly, our future results could be materially adversely impacted by
changes in these or other factors. Our exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations arises in part from intercompany accounts in which costs incurred in the United States are charged to our foreign sales subsidiaries. These intercompany accounts
are typically denominated in the functional currency of the foreign subsidiary in order to centralize foreign exchange risk with the parent company in the United States. We are also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the financial
results of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars in consolidation. As exchange rates vary, these results, when translated, may vary from expectations and adversely impact overall expected profitability. The impact from a hypothetical
10 percent appreciation/depreciation of the U.S. Dollar from September 30, 2002 market rates would be immaterial on our net income.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Phoenix Technologies Ltd.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Phoenix
Technologies Ltd. as of September 30, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2002. Our audits also included the
financial statement schedule listed in Part IV, Item 15(a). These consolidated financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the management of Phoenix Technologies Ltd. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. 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.
In our opinion, based on our
audits, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Phoenix Technologies Ltd. at September 30, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered
in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

Note
1. Description of Business
Phoenix Technologies Ltd. (Phoenix or the
Company) is a global leader in software to activate, secure, maintain, and connect personal computers (PCs), information appliances, and other digital devices connected to the Internet. Phoenix provides its products primarily
to platform and peripheral manufacturers that range from large PC and information appliance manufacturers to small system integrators and value-added resellers. In addition to key products, Phoenix also provides support services, such as training,
consulting, maintenance, and engineering services, to its customers as required. The Company markets and licenses its products and services through a global direct sales force as well as through a network of regional distributors and sales
representatives, resellers, value-added resellers, system integrators, system builders, and generic PC (or White Box) manufacturers.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Financial
Statement Presentation. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.
Reclassification. Certain amounts in the prior periods financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Foreign Currency
Translation. The Company has determined that the functional currency of its foreign operations is the local currency. Therefore, assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates and income statement
transactions are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during each period.
Use of
Estimates. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including but not limited to, a) allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable; b) accruals for royalty revenues; c) accruals
for employee benefits, restructuring and related costs, sales allowances and taxes; and d) useful lives and realizability of carrying values for property and equipment, computer software costs, goodwill and intangible assets, and prepaid royalties.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The operating results for year ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of any other future period.
Revenue Recognition. The Company licenses software under non-cancelable license agreements and provides services including non-recurring
engineering efforts, maintenance consisting of product support services and rights to unspecified upgrades on a when-and-if available basis, and training.
Revenues from software license agreements are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. The
Company uses the residual method to recognize revenue when an agreement includes one or more elements to be delivered at a future date and vendor specific objective evidence of the fair value of all the undelivered elements exists. Under the
residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenues. If evidence of fair value of one or more undelivered elements does not exist, revenues are deferred
and recognized when delivery of those elements occurs or when fair value can be established. Revenue from non-refundable up front fee arrangements including services and other elements to be
40
PHOENIX TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
delivered over time for which vendor specific objective evidence of fair value does not exist is recognized ratably over the initial term of the respective agreement. When the Company provides
the customer with significant customization of the software products, revenues are recognized in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 81-1 (Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts)
which requires revenues to be recognized using the percentage-of-completion method based on time and materials or when services are complete. Revenues from arrangements with distributors or resellers are recognized on a sell-through basis.
Revenues from OEMs/ODMs for initial, non-refundable royalties relating to volume royalty license agreements are
recorded when all revenue recognition criteria have been met. The Company recorded $31.0 million of revenues from OEM/ODM customers relating to volume royalty license agreements in fiscal 2002 compared to $30.0 million in the prior year.
Non-recurring engineering service revenues are recognized on a time and materials basis or when contractual
milestones are met. Contractual milestones involve the use of estimates and approximate the percentage-of-completion method. Software maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over the maintenance period, which is typically one year. Training and
other service revenues are recognized as the services are performed. Amounts billed in advance for licenses and services that are in excess of revenues recognized are recorded as deferred revenues.
Provisions are made for doubtful accounts and estimated sales allowances.
Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid securities purchased with an original or remaining
maturity of less than three months at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Investments. Short-term investments represent marketable securities acquired with original maturities ranging from three months to one year. The Company had short-term investments of $51.2 million and
$3.0 million as of September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, which consisted only of auction instruments. The fair value of such short-term investments approximated amortized cost and gross unrealized holding gains and losses were not material. The
cost of securities sold and the fair value of securities are based on the specific identification method. Realized gains or losses and declines in value deemed to be other than temporary, if any, are reported in gain (loss) on investments in the
consolidated statements of operations.
Historically, other investments have primarily consisted of equity
investments in companies in which Phoenix does not have significant influence, which is usually when ownership is less than 20%. At September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company had $nil and $0.3 million of equity investments, respectively, which are
recorded in other long-term assets. These investments are accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (SFAS 115).
Investments in publicly held companies are recorded at fair value as measured by quoted market prices and investments in privately held companies, which are recorded at cost, are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Realized gains and
losses are recorded in gain (loss) on investment when the related investments are sold and temporary fluctuations in values are recorded in other comprehensive income. In fiscal 2002, the Company recorded a gain of $0.2 million from the sale of its
remaining equity investment. Net loss on investment in fiscal 2001 was $2.0 million, resulting from $2.7 million of write-down offset by $0.7 million of gain on sale of investments.
The Company performs periodic reviews of its investments for impairment. The Companys investments in publicly held companies are generally considered impaired when a
decline in the fair value of an investment as measured by quoted market prices is less than its carrying value and such decline is other than temporary. The impairment charge is included in the gain (loss) on investment in the consolidated
statements of operations. The
41
PHOENIX TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
Companys investments in privately held companies are considered impaired when a review of operations and other indicators of impairment show that the carrying value of the investment is not
likely to be recoverable. Such indicators include operating losses, significant cash outflows, prices of subsequent issuances of equity securities, and limited liquidity. Impaired investments in privately held companies are written down to estimated
fair value, which is the amount the Company believes is recoverable from its investments. Impairment write-downs when deemed other than temporary create a new carrying value for both publicly and privately held investments and the Company does not
realize gains from subsequent increases in fair value in excess of the new carrying value until disposition. In fiscal 2001, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2.7 million relating to equity investment. The Company did not record any
impairment of its investments during fiscal 2002.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments. The carrying values of the Companys financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. The
estimated fair values may not be representative of actual values of the financial instruments that could be realized as of the period end or that will be realized in the future.
Credit Risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash
investments and trade receivables. The Companys investment portfolio consists of mostly AAA credit rating investments, balanced by some AA and A rated securities. The duration is less than 90 days. The Company extends credit on open accounts
to its customers and does not require collateral. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of all customers and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical
trends, and other information. One customer, Fujitsu Limited, accounted for 18% and 24% of accounts receivable as of September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Prepaid Royalties. The Company entered into long-term agreements with several third party technology partners and prepaid royalties for software that is incorporated into
certain of its products. Prepaid royalties are recorded as assets upon acquisition and are charged to cost of revenue based on the greater of (1) the cost associated with actual units shipped during the period, or (2) straight line method over the
remaining economic life of the asset. As of September 30, 2002, the remaining useful life of the assets ranges from 1 to 4 years. Net prepaid royalties for third party licenses were $8.9 million and $5.1 million, at September 30, 2002 and 2001,
respectively.
Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are carried at cost
and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, which are typically three to five years. Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the assets or the
remaining term of the related lease.
Computer Software Costs. Computer software
costs consist of purchased software acquired through business combinations and capitalized under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed
(SFAS 86). Costs in the research and development of new software products and enhancements are expensed as incurred. Capitalized computer software costs are amortized over the economic life of the product, generally five to six years,
using the straight-line method.
Goodwill and intangible assets. Goodwill represents
the excess purchase price of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in business combinations over their estimated fair value. Purchased intangibles primarily represent trade names. As described further under Recent Accounting
Pronouncements, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, in July 2001. In accordance with SFAS 142, the
Company has continued to
42
PHOENIX TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
amortize goodwill related to acquisitions completed prior to July 1, 2001, with amortization ceasing on October 1, 2002, the date the Company adopts SFAS 142. The goodwill balances
associated with acquisitions completed prior to July 1, 2001, were amortized over five to six years using the straight-line method. Identifiable purchased intangibles are currently amortized over nine years using the straight-line method.
Impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets. Long-lived assets are reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. These indicators may be a significant industry downturn, a significant decline in the market value of the Company, or
significant reductions in projected future cash flows of operating segments. Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
of (SFAS 121), recoverability of long-lived assets is based on an estimate of future undiscounted cash flows to initially determine whether impairment should be measured. Measurement of impairment charges for long-lived
assets is based on the fair value of the assets. If quoted market prices for the assets are not available, the fair value is calculated using the present value of estimated expected future cash flows. The cash flow calculations are based on
managements best estimates at the time the tests are performed, using appropriate assumptions and projections. Management relies on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, budgets, and economic projections. In
addition, managements evaluation considers non-financial data such as market trends, customer relationships, buying patterns, and product development cycles. When impairments are assessed, the Company records charges to reduce goodwill or
other long-lived assets based on the amount by which the carrying amounts of these assets exceed their fair values.
Pursuant to SFAS 121, the Company performed an assessment of the carrying value of its long-lived assets to be held and used, including goodwill and other intangible assets recorded in connection with its various acquisitions. The
test was performed by comparing the undiscounted expected cash flows for a five-year period (the estimated life of the assets), to the carrying amount of the goodwill and other intangible assets resulting from the business combinations. The
assumptions supporting the estimated cash flows reflect managements best estimates. Based on the results of the test, Phoenix determined that no impairment charges were required in fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000.
Income Taxes. Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109). Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period of enactment.
Stock-Based Compensation. The Company accounts for its stock option plans and employee stock purchase plan in accordance with provisions of
the Accounting Principles Boards Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). The Company has adopted the disclosure only criteria, described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123). See Note 11 for more details.
Computation of Earnings (loss) per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is
computed using the weighted-average number of common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted common-equivalent shares primarily consist of employee stock options and warrants, computed
43
PHOENIX TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
using the treasury stock method. In computing diluted earnings per share, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the
exercise of stock options. The Company included outstanding options in the diluted earnings per share computation for the year ended September 30, 2000. However, for the years ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company reported net losses and
did not include the outstanding options in the calculation of diluted loss per share, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
New Accounting Pronouncements. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets (SFAS 142). SFAS 142 requires goodwill to be tested for impairment under certain circumstances, and written-off when impaired, rather than being amortized as previous standards required. Furthermore, SFAS 142 requires
purchased intangible assets to be amortized over their estimated useful lives unless these lives are determined to be indefinite. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Upon the adoption of SFAS 142, the Company is
required to make any necessary reclassifications in order to comply with the new criteria in SFAS 142 for recognition of intangible assets, and to then evaluate goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment in accordance with the
new rules of SFAS 142. Any impairment charge recognized upon adoption of SFAS 142 will be recorded in the statement of operations as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The Company will adopt SFAS 142 on October 1, 2002 when its
new fiscal year begins. The Company is in the process of performing the impairment test and has not determined the impact, if any.
On October 3, 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144), that is applicable to
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The FASBs new rules on asset impairment supersede SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of, and portions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 30, Reporting the Results of Operations. This Standard provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets. This Standard also requires expected future
operating losses from discontinued operations to be displayed in the period(s) in which the losses are incurred, rather than as of the measurement date as presently required. The Company will adopt SFAS 144 on October 1, 2002 when its new fiscal
year begins and does not expect the adoption will have a material effect on the Companys operating results or financial condition at the time of adoption.
In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146). SFAS 146
requires that a liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. SFAS 146 nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for
Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). Under Issue 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of an entitys commitment to an
exit plan. Severance pay under SFAS 146, in many cases, would be recognized over time rather than up front. SFAS 146 also requires that if the benefit arrangement requires employees to render future service beyond a minimum retention
period a liability should be recognized as employees render service over the future service period even if the benefit formula used to calculate an employees termination benefit is based on length of service. SFAS 146 is effective for
exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002.
Note 3. Business Combinations
In January 2002, the Company acquired certain assets of StorageSoft, a developer of drive diagnostic
utilities and hard drive imaging software that reduces the cost to own, deploy, and manage multiple PCs,
44
PHOENIX TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
pursuant to an Asset Acquisition Agreement dated December 21, 2001. With the acquisition, the Company further expands its next-generation FirstWare product line and distribution channels in the generic PC manufacturing and PC system builder markets.
During fiscal 2001, the Company completed two business combinations. In February 2001, Phoenix acquired Integrity Sciences, a provider of
core computer security products, which developed and marketed strong password technology. In March 2001, Phoenix acquired certain assets of Ravisent Technologies, a provider of digital audio and video software solutions and internet appliance
technology. There were no acquisitions or business combinations during fiscal 2000.
The acquisition of Integrity
Sciences includes an earn-out agreement over a five year period of up to 100,000 shares of Phoenixs common stock and cash payments of $1.5 million, if certain revenues and technology criteria are met. There is no minimum payment requirement in
the earn-out agreement. No payments have been earned through September 30, 2002.
All acquisitions were accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business were included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the fiscal periods ended after the date of the acquisition. The results of operations
from the date of acquisition through September 30, 2002 are included in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.

The amounts allocated to purchased technologies (computer software
costs) are being amortized over five to six years on a straight-line basis. The estimated asset lives are determined based on projected future economic benefits and expected life cycles of the purchased technology. Amortization charged to costs of
revenues was

PHOENIX TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
$3.0 million, $0.8 million and $nil, during fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. Accumulated amortization of purchased technology costs was $3.9 million and $0.8 million at September 30,
2002 and 2001, respectively. The unamortized purchased technology costs were $14.6 million and $10.7 million as of September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
The amounts allocated to Other Intangible Assets (comprised of the trade name of the purchased products) are being amortized over nine years. The amounts allocated to Goodwill associated with
acquisitions completed prior to July 1, 2001, are being amortized using straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of five to six years. Goodwill associated with acquisitions completed subsequent to June 30, 2001 is not being amortized.
Amortization of Goodwill and Other Intangible assets was $2.3 million, $1.1 million and zero, during fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. Accumulated amortization was $5.2 million and $3.0 million at September 30, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. The unamortized balances were $13.6 million and $10.2 million as of September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Goodwill acquired in both fiscal 2002 and 2001 were deductible for income tax purposes.

Note 4. Discontinued Operations
On September 19, 2002, the Company completed the sale of its majority owned subsidiary, inSilicon, to Synopsys. Under the terms of the
cash tender offer agreement with Synopsys, the Company tendered and sold 10,450,010 inSilicon shares, or 100% of its ownership interest in inSilicon for $4.05 per share. Included under the caption of Discontinued Operations in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations are (1) loss from discontinued operations and (2) gain on disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax. In fiscal 2002, loss from discontinued operations of $6.9 million represents inSilicons loss, net
of tax provision of $0.5 million, from the beginning of the period through July 23, 2002, the date the Company announced its agreement with Synopsys to sell inSilicon. Net gain on disposal of $5.3 million includes two components: (1) a pretax gain
of $20.6 million after a tax provision of $13.5 million, and (2) inSilicons loss of $1.8 million after a tax benefit of $0.2 million, which was incurred during the phase-out period between July 24, 2002 and September 19, 2002. Furthermore, the
sale of inSilicon generated net cash proceeds of $41.4 million after transaction costs of $0.9 million.
Also, as
a result of the sale, all prior periods presented have been reclassified to reflect inSilicons financial results as discontinued operations.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the timing of the realization of
the benefit of certain tax attributes in future tax returns, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against otherwise recognizable net deferred tax assets. Realization of the Companys net deferred tax assets is dependent upon
generating sufficient taxable income in future years in appropriate tax jurisdictions to obtain benefit from the reversal of temporary differences and from tax credit carryforwards. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable is subject
to adjustment in future periods if future taxable income is not realized.

PHOENIX TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
Net undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries amounted
to approximately $16.9 million as of September 30, 2002. These earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested, and accordingly, no provision for U.S. Federal and state income taxes has been provided thereon. Upon distribution of these
earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to U.S. income taxes (after an adjustment for foreign tax credits) of approximately $2.0 million.
As of September 30, 2002, the Company had available for U.S. Federal income tax purposes foreign tax credits of $2.2 million, which expire in the years 2003 through 2004,
if not utilized. The Companys federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards for income tax purposes are approximately $2.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. If not utilized, the federal tax credit carryforwards will
begin to expire in fiscal 2015.
Note 9. Segment Reporting
As part of the restructuring program announced in October 2001, Phoenix implemented a re-organization that aligned its corporate actions
with corporate strategy to improve customer focus, unify product marketing, streamline engineering, and create a market driven development process. The new organization is structured by function. Also, due to the sale of inSilicon on September 19,
2002, inSilicon is no longer presented as a separate operating segment and its operations are classified as discontinued operations. The financials for the prior periods have also been reclassified to reflect these results as discontinued
operations. See discussions under Note 4 Discontinued Operations for more details.
The
Chief Operating Decision Maker assesses the Companys performance by regularly reviewing the operating results as a single segments: Phoenix. The reportable segment is established based on the criteria set forth in the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131), including evaluating the Companys internal reporting structure by the Chief Operating Decision Maker
and disclosure of revenues and operating expenses. The Chief Operating Decision Maker reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues by geographic region for purposes of
making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The Company does not assess the performance of its geographic regions on other measures of income or expense, such as depreciation and amortization, gross margin or net income. In
addition, as Phoenixs assets are primarily located in its corporate office in the United States and not allocated to any specific region, it does not produce reports for, or measure the performance of its geographic regions based on any
asset-based metrics. Therefore, geographic information is presented only for revenues.
The Company reports

Note 11. Stockholders Equity
Sales of Common Stock and
Issuance of Warrants. In February 2001, the Company repurchased from Intel Corporation the outstanding warrant to purchase approximately 1,074,000 shares of Phoenix Technologies common stock for approximately $2.9 million

issuance. Also in February 2002, the 2001 ESPP replaced the 1999 ESPP. The 2001 ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares at six month intervals, through payroll deductions, at 85% of the fair market value of the Companys common stock
at the beginning or end of the six-month period, whichever is lower. The maximum amount each employee may contribute during an offering period is 10% of gross base pay. As of September 30, 2002, approximately 31,000 shares had been issued under the

Plans. The Company has various incentive stock option plans for employees, officers, directors, consultants, and independent contractors. Incentive stock options may not be granted at a price less than 100% (110% in
certain cases) of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. Nonqualified options may not be granted at a price less than 85% of the fair value of the shares on the date of grant unless it is performance based. To date, all grants of
incentive stock options, except for performance-based options, have been made at fair market value or greater. Options vest evenly over a period determined by the Companys Board of Directors, generally four years, and have a term not exceeding
ten years.
On April 9, 2002, the Company held a Special Meeting of its Shareholders at which the Shareholders
approved the amendment to the 1999 Stock Plan to increase the number of shares of the Companys common stock reserved for issuance by 950,000 shares.
On July 23, 2002, the Board of Directors approved the amendment to the 1997 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan to increase the number of shares of the Companys common stock reserved for issuance by
approximately 808,000 shares. Members of Phoenixs Board of Directors and employees who are considered officers for the purposes of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are not eligible to participate in this plan.
Stock Options Exchange Program. On December 6, 2001, the Company announced a
voluntary stock option exchange program for its eligible employees. Members of Phoenixs Board of Directors, employees who are considered officers for the purposes of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
employees of inSilicon were not eligible to participate in this program. Under the program, Company employees were offered the opportunity, if they so chose, to cancel certain outstanding stock options previously granted to them under Phoenix
Technologies Ltd. 1999 Stock Plan, in exchange for new options that would be granted from the same stock plan. The new options were three-fourths of the number of shares (split-adjusted) cancelled. Based on the program, those employees who chose to
participate in the offer were required to tender all options granted since June 6, 2001. Approximately 209,000 stock options from 67 eligible employees with exercise prices from $9.15 to $28.56 were accepted and cancelled on January 22, 2002.
Approximately 148,000 shares of new options were granted on July 23, 2002, six months and one day from the cancellation date, which was January 22, 2002. The exercise price of these new options was $7.76 per share, which was the closing price
of the Companys common stock on the last market trading day prior to the date of grant. This voluntary exchange program complied with FASB Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensation (FIN 44) and, accordingly, did not result in any compensation charges.
