PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

We are the leading worldwide developer and supplier of custom-designed user interface solutions for notebook computers. In our fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, we estimate that more than half of all notebooks shipped contained our products. Our original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, customers include Acer, Apple, Dell, Hewlett-Packard/Compaq, and Samsung, as well as Fujitsu/Siemens, IBM, NEC, Sony, and Toshiba. We generally supply our OEM customers through their contract manufacturers, which take delivery of our products and pay us directly for them. These contract manufacturers include Arima, Compal, Inventec, Mitac, Nypro, Quanta, and Wistron.

The latest industry projections for notebook shipments for 2002-2006 show a compound annual growth rate of 12.7% compared to 8.6% for desktop computers, reflecting the continuing trend of corporate buyers to replace desktops with notebooks. Based on the strength of our technology and engineering know-how, we believe we are well positioned to take advantage of the growth opportunity in the notebook market and to provide innovative, value-added interface solutions for each of the key end-user preferences. We estimate that in fiscal 2002 approximately 56% of all notebook computers sold used solely a touch pad interface; 25% used solely a pointing stick interface; 16% used a dual pointing interface, which consists of both a touch pad and a pointing stick; and 3% used some other type of interface. Our notebook product lines of touch pads and pointing sticks allow us to address 97% of the total notebook market. In fiscal 2002, we also expanded our customer base to include large Japanese-based notebook OEMs.

Our TouchPad™ is a small, touch-sensitive pad that senses the position of a person’s finger on its surface to provide screen navigation, cursor movement, and a platform for interactive input. Our TouchPads offer various advanced features, such as virtual scrolling; customizable tap zones to simulate mouse clicks, launch applications, or perform other select functions; Palm Check to eliminate false activation; and Edge Motion to continue cursor movement when the user’s finger reaches the edge of the touch pad. Our TouchPads are custom designed to meet our OEM customers’ specifications regarding electrical interface, size, thickness, functionality, and driver software for various advanced features and operating systems. Our pointing stick solutions, including TouchStyk™, our proprietary pointing stick solution, enable computer manufacturers to offer end users the choice of a touch pad, a pointing stick, or a combination of both interface devices. TouchStyk is a self-contained, easily integrated module that uses similar sensing technology as our TouchPad. Our QuickStroke® provides a fast, easy, and accurate way to input Chinese characters and has the potential to become a primary interface for the Chinese language market. Using our patented pattern recognition software with our TouchPad, QuickStroke can recognize handwritten, partially finished Chinese characters, thereby saving considerable time and effort.

We believe our extensive intellectual property portfolio, our experience in providing interface solutions to major OEMs, and our proven track record of growth in our expanding core notebook computer interface business position us to be a key technological enabler for multiple applications in many markets. Based on these strengths, we are addressing the opportunities created by the growth of a new class of mobile computing and communications devices, which we call information appliances, or “iAppliances,” as well as a variety of other electronic devices. iAppliances include personal digital assistants, or PDAs, smart phones, and MP3 portable jukeboxes as well as a variety of mobile, handheld, wireless, and Internet devices. Other electronic devices include Touchpads for set-top box remote controls for Internet access and home entertainment utilizing the user’s television screen as the monitor as well as touch screens for use in ATMs, kiosks, Web phones, and interactive gaming machines. We believe our existing technologies, our new product solutions, and our emphasis on ease of use, small size, low power consumption, advanced functionality, durability, and reliability will enable us to penetrate the markets for iAppliances and other electronic devices. We have not yet, however, penetrated these markets in a manner that has resulted in significant revenue to us.

We continually strive to introduce new user interface solutions, including solutions for iAppliance and other electronic devices. These solutions include ClearPad™ and Spiral™ as well as our new touch sensitive scroll wheel, touch sensing modules for large touch screens, integrated fingerprint touch pad module, and touch pads with embedded character recognition software. Our ClearPad touch screen solution is a thin sensor that can be placed

over any surface, including display devices, such as liquid crystal displays, or LCDs. The ClearPad is a lightweight, low power consumption solution, and its flexible design allows it to be mounted on curved surfaces, such as the lens of a cellular phone. ClearPad is an extension of our capacitive TouchPad technologies. Unlike standard resistive touch screens, ClearPad eliminates the need for an internal air gap, which causes internal reflections and their associated adverse impact on display quality. This performance advantage makes ClearPad an excellent solution for devices with color displays or for use outdoors. Our Spiral is a thin, lightweight, low power consumption, inductive pen-sensing system. The Spiral sensor lies behind an LCD screen, effectively permitting 100% light transmissivity and lower overall power consumption resulting from reduced backlighting requirements. Spiral uses a patented inductive coupling technology that offers the unique feature of proximity sensing to measure the position of the pen relative to the pen-based device.

ClearPad’s first application is in a new high-end Toshiba notebook; touch wheel, an integrated solid-state interface device utilizing our capacitive touch sensing technology, is being used in a recently introduced MP3 portable jukebox; the first application for the touch sensing module for the large touch screens is expected to be in ATM machines; our integrated Fingerprint TouchPad module, which provides biometric security for notebooks, is expected to begin shipments in the next 12 months; and our TouchPad with embedded Chinese character recognition software is being developed for integration into the public access telephones of a China-based communications company to enable short text messaging services in China.

TouchPad™

In fiscal 2002, we supplied approximately 70% of the touch pads used in notebook computers throughout the world. Our TouchPad, which takes the place and exceeds the functionality of a mouse, is a small, touch-sensitive pad that senses the position of a person’s finger on its surface through the measurement of capacitance. Our TouchPad provides the most accurate, comfortable, and reliable method for screen navigation and cursor movement, and provides a platform for interactive input, which allows our customers to provide stylish, simple, user-friendly, and intuitive interface solutions for both the consumer and professional markets. Our TouchPads offer various advanced features, including the following:

	•		Virtual scrolling. This feature enables the user to scroll through any document by swiping a finger along the side or bottom of the TouchPad.

	•		Customizable tap zones. These zones permit separate portions of the TouchPad to be used to simulate mouse clicks, launch applications, and perform other selected functions.

	•		Palm Check. Palm Check eliminates false activation when a person’s palm accidentally rests on the TouchPad.

	•		Edge Motion. This permits cursor movement to continue when a user’s finger reaches the edge of the TouchPad.

	•		Tapping and dragging of icons. This feature allows the user to simply tap on an icon in order to drag it, rather than being forced to hold a button down in order to drag an icon.

	•		Multi-finger gestures. This feature allows the user to designate specific actions when more than one finger is used on the TouchPad.

Our TouchPads are available in a variety of sizes and can be designed to meet the electrical and mechanical specifications of our customers. Customized driver software ensures the availability of specialized features.

Our fingerprint touch pad is an integrated biometric security and interface solution for fingerprint verification for notebook access.

Utilizing our TouchPad technology, we have introduced our scroll strip, a touch-sensitive device similar to a TouchPad. Our initial applications will be to mount the scroll strip within keyboards, external mice, and portable communication devices. Users can take advantage of the scroll strip to easily scroll up and down Web pages or word processing documents. Future applications for the scroll strip may include cellular phones and other communications and computing devices.

TouchStyk™

TouchStyk, our proprietary pointing stick interface solution, is a self-contained, easily integrated module that uses similar capacitive technology as our TouchPad. TouchStyk is enabled with press-to-select and tap-to-click capabilities and can be easily integrated into multiple computing and communications devices. We have reduced the number of components needed to control the pointing device, allowing the electronics for the TouchStyk to be mounted directly on the printed circuit board, or PCB, of the unit. In addition, this design greatly reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference, thereby providing greater pointing accuracy and preventing the pointer from drifting when not in use.

Our TouchStyk can operate either with our proprietary algorithms or algorithms licensed from IBM. This allows OEMs to select the algorithms of their choice while still gaining the advantages of our pointing stick solution. Our modular approach allows OEMs to include our TouchPad, our TouchStyk, or a combination of both interfaces in their notebook computers.

We are currently shipping our TouchStyk in connection with our dual pointing solutions. With respect to the portion of the notebook computer market that uses a pointing stick as the sole interface, our TouchStyk has been qualified for use by two OEM customers.

Dual Pointing Solutions

Our dual pointing solutions offer both a touch pad and a pointing stick in a single notebook computer, enabling users to select their interface of choice. Our dual pointing solution also provides the end user the ability to use both interfaces interchangeably. Our dual pointing solution provides the following advantages:

	•		cost-effective and simplified OEM integration;

	•		simplified OEM product line since one device contains both solutions;

	•		single-source supplier, which eliminates compatibility issues; and

	•		end user flexibility since one notebook can address both user preferences.

We have developed two solutions for use in the dual pointing market. Our first solution integrates all the electronics for controlling a third-party resistive strain gauge pointing stick onto our TouchPad PCB. This solution simplifies OEM integration by eliminating the need to procure the pointing stick electronics from another party and physically integrate them into the notebook. Our second dual pointing solution uses our TouchStyk rather than a third-party pointing stick, and offers the same simplified OEM integration. The second solution is a completely modular design, allowing OEMs to offer TouchPad-only, TouchStyk-only, or dual pointing solutions on a build-to-order basis.

ClearPad™

ClearPad, our innovative and customizable touch screen solution, consists of a clear thin sensor that can be placed over any viewable surface, including display devices such as LCDs. ClearPad is controlled by a small electronics module, which can be located remotely from the sensor. Similar to our traditional TouchPad, our ClearPad has various distinct advantages, including light weight; low profile form factor; high reliability, durability, and accuracy; and low power consumption. In addition, ClearPad enables visual information display in conjunction with touch commands.

The size and shape of both the sensor surface and electronics module can be customized for many applications. ClearPad can be mounted on a curved surface, resulting in new opportunities for industrial design. In applications with extreme space constraints, the electronic module can be integrated into an existing PCB. ClearPad also can emulate physical buttons or slider switches displayed on an active display device or printed on an underlying surface.

ClearPad is an extension of our capacitive TouchPad technologies. Standard resistive touch screens include an air gap, causing significant internal reflections that degrade the quality of the display. When used as a touch screen, ClearPad eliminates the internal air gap present in resistive touch screens, significantly decreasing internal reflections and their associated impact on display quality. This makes ClearPad an excellent solution for use outdoors and for devices with color displays.

We believe ClearPad is well suited for widespread application in the iAppliance markets. These applications include the following:


• PDAs		• Internet devices




• smart phones		• e-mail terminals




• smart handheld devices		• automotive controls and displays




• Web terminals		• interactive games and toys

We have used our ClearPad technology to develop a product solution that replaces the touch pad in notebook computers. Our solution consists of a ClearPad mounted over an LCD display. This solution provides all of the features of a standard touch pad while providing information content and additional features, including an application launcher, calendar, calculator, and signature input. We have developed this solution with a USB interface for significant and rapid data transfer and easy integration into notebook computer designs.

Spiral™

Spiral is a thin, lightweight, low power, inductive pen-sensing solution. The Spiral sensor lies behind an LCD screen, effectively permitting 100% light transmissivity and lower overall power consumption resulting from reduced backlighting requirements. Spiral uses a patented inductive coupling technology that offers the unique feature of proximity sensing, which measures the precise position of the tip of the pen relative to a pen-based device. This feature enhances applications by providing better user interaction and experience. Spiral also has a high tolerance to user abuse. Spiral combines 100% light transmissivity, high accuracy, high noise immunity, and a passive stylus into a solution that provides alternatives for richer user interfaces.

We anticipate that Spiral will be used in new markets that require high-quality pen-based solutions. The applications in the iAppliance markets are expected to be similar to those of ClearPad.

QuickStroke®

QuickStroke provides a fast, easy, and accurate way to input Chinese characters. Using our recognition technology that combines our patented software with our TouchPad, QuickStroke can recognize handwritten, partially finished Chinese characters, thereby saving considerable time and effort. Our QuickStroke operates with our touch pad products that can be integrated into notebook computers, keyboards, and a host of stand-alone interface devices that use either a pen or a finger.

Our patented Incremental Recognition Technology™ allows users to simply enter the first few strokes of a Chinese character and QuickStroke accurately interprets the intended character. Since the typical Chinese character consists of an average of 13 strokes, QuickStroke technology saves considerable time and effort. QuickStroke provides a solution to enhance Chinese communication for both business and personal use electronic devices.

Technologies

We have developed and own an extensive array of technologies encompassing ASICs, firmware, software, and pattern recognition and touch sensing technologies. With 64 U.S. patents issued and 27 U.S. patents pending, we continue to develop technology in those areas. We believe these technologies and the related intellectual

property create significant barriers for competitors and allow us to provide interface solutions in a variety of high-growth market segments.

Our broad line of interface solutions currently is based upon the following key technologies:

	•		capacitive position sensing technology;

	•		capacitive force sensing technology;

	•		transparent capacitive position sensing technology;

	•		inductive position sensing technology;

	•		pattern recognition technology;

	•		mixed signal very large scale integrated circuit, or VLSI, technology; and

	•		proprietary microcontroller technology.

In addition to these technologies, we have the core competency of developing software that provides unique features, such as virtual scrolling, customizable tap zones, Palm Check, Edge Motion, tapping and dragging of icons, and multi-finger gestures. In addition, our ability to integrate all of our products to interface with major operating systems, including Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows CE, Windows XP, Windows ME, Mac OS, Pocket PC, Palm OS, Symbian, UNIX, and LINUX, provides us with a key competitive advantage.

Capacitive Position Sensing Technology. This technology provides a method for sensing the presence, position, and contact area of one or more fingers or a conductive stylus on a flat or curved surface, such as our TouchPad. Our technology works with very light touch and provides highly responsive cursor navigation and scrolling. It uses no moving parts, can be embedded in a tough plastic coating, and is extremely durable.

Capacitive Force Sensing Technology. This technology senses the direction and magnitude of a force applied to an object. The object can either move when force is applied, like a typical joystick used for gaming applications, or it can be isometric, with no perceptible motion during use, like our TouchStyk. The primary competition for this technology is resistive strain gauge technology. Resistive strain gauge technology requires electronics that can sense very small changes in resistance, presenting significant challenges to the design of that circuitry, including sensitivity to electrical noise and interference. Our electronic circuitry determines the magnitude and direction of an applied force, permits very accurate sensing of tiny changes in capacitance, and minimizes interference from electrical noise.

Transparent Capacitive Position Sensing Technology. This technology allows us to build transparent sensors for use with our capacitive position sensing technology, such as in our ClearPad. It has all the advantages of our capacitive position sensing technology and allows for visual feedback when incorporated with a display device such as an LCD. Our technology never requires calibration, does not produce undesirable internal reflections, and has reduced power requirements, allowing for longer battery life.

Inductive Position Sensing Technology. This technology provides a method for sensing the presence and position, in three dimensions, of a pen on surfaces like the touch screen used in smart handheld devices. The sensor board can be placed behind the display screen, such as an LCD, thus eliminating any undesirable reflections or transmissivity losses and the need for backlighting, which enhances battery life. This technology could be used in the future for other position sensing applications.

Pattern Recognition Technology. This technology is a set of software algorithms for converting real-world data, such as handwriting, into a digital form that can be manipulated within a computer, such as our QuickStroke product and gesture decoding for our TouchPad products. Our technology provides reliable handwriting recognition and facilitates signature verification.

Mixed Signal VLSI Technology. This hybrid analog-digital integrated circuit technology combines the power of digital computation with the ability to interface with non-digital real-world signals like the position of a

finger or stylus on a surface. Our patented design techniques permit us to utilize this technology to optimize our core ASIC engine for all our products, which provides cost and performance advantages over our competitors.

Proprietary Microcontroller Technology. This technology consists of proprietary 16-bit microcontroller cores embedded in the digital portion of our mixed signal ASIC, which allows us to optimize our ASIC for position sensing tasks. Our embedded microcontroller provides great flexibility in customizing our product solutions utilizing firmware, which eliminates the need to design new circuitry for each new application.

Competing Technology

Many interface solutions currently utilize resistive sensing technology. Resistive sensing technology consists of a flexible membrane above a flat, rigid, electrically conductive surface. When finger or stylus pressure is applied to the membrane, it deforms until it makes contact with the rigid layer below, at which point attached electronics can determine the position of the finger or stylus. Since the flexible membrane is a moving part, it is susceptible to mechanical wear and will eventually suffer degraded performance. Due to the way that resistive position sensors work, it is not possible for them to detect more than a single finger or stylus at any given time. The positional accuracy of a resistive sensor is limited by the uniformity of the resistive coating as well as by the mechanics of the flexible membrane. Finally, due to reduced transmissivity, or the amount of light that can pass through the display, resistive technology requires the use of a backlight, thereby reducing the battery life of the device.

Research and Development

We conduct active and ongoing research and development programs that focus on advancing our technologies, developing new products, improving design processes, and enhancing the quality and performance of our product solutions. Our goal is to provide our customers with innovative solutions that address their needs and improve their competitive positions. Our research and development concentrates on our market-leading interface technologies, especially on improving the performance of our current product solutions and expanding our technologies to serve new markets. Our vision is to develop solutions that integrate touch, handwriting, vision, and voice capabilities that can be readily incorporated into varied electronic devices.

Our research and development programs focus on the development of accurate, easy to use, feature rich, reliable, and intuitive user interfaces for electronic devices. We believe our innovative interface technologies can be applied to many diverse platforms. As a result, we are currently focusing considerable research and development efforts on interface solutions for iAppliances and other electronic devices. We believe the interface will be a key factor in the differentiation of these products. We anticipate that our interface technologies will enable us to provide customers with product solutions that have significant advantages over alternative technologies in terms of functionality, size, power consumption, durability, and reliability. We also pursue strategic acquisitions and enter into strategic relationships to enhance our research and development capabilities, leverage our technology, and shorten our time to market with new technological applications.

Our research, design, and engineering teams frequently work directly with our customers to design custom solutions for specific applications. We focus on enabling our customers to overcome technological barriers and enhance the performance of their products. We believe our efforts provide significant benefits to our customers by enabling them to concentrate on their core competencies of production and marketing.

As of June 30, 2002, we employed 112 people in our technology, engineering, and product design functions in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Taiwan. Our research and development expenses were approximately $8.4 million in fiscal 2000, $11.6 million in fiscal 2001, and $16.6 million in fiscal 2002.

Intellectual Property Rights

As of June 30, 2002, we held 64 U.S. patents and had 27 U.S. pending patent applications. These patents and patent applications cover various aspects of our key technologies, including touch sensing, pen sensing, handwriting recognition, edge motion, and virtual scrolling technologies. Our proprietary software is protected by copyright laws. The source code for our proprietary software is also protected under applicable trade secret laws.

Patent applications that we have filed or may file in the future, may not result in a patent being issued. Our issued patents may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, and claims of our patents may not be of sufficient scope or strength, or issued in the proper geographic regions, to provide meaningful protection or any commercial advantage. We have not applied for, and do not have, any copyright registration on our technologies or products. We have applied to register certain of our trademarks in the United States and other countries. There can be no assurances that we will obtain registrations of trademarks in key markets. Failure to obtain registrations could compromise our ability to protect fully our trademarks and brands and could increase the risk of challenge from third parties to our use of our trademarks and brands. In addition, our failure to enforce and protect our intellectual property rights or obtain from third parties the right to use necessary technology could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our extensive array of technologies includes ASICs, firmware, software, and pattern recognition and touch sensing technologies. Any one of our products rely on a combination of these technologies, making it difficult to use any single technology as the basis for replicating our products. Furthermore, the length and customization of the customer design cycle serve to protect our intellectual property rights. Our research, design, and engineering teams frequently work directly with our customers to design custom solutions for specific applications.

We do not consistently rely on written agreements with our customers, suppliers, manufacturers, and other recipients of our technologies and products, and therefore some trade secret protection may be lost and our ability to enforce our intellectual property rights may be limited. Furthermore, our customers, suppliers, manufacturers, and other recipients of our technologies and products may seek to use our technologies and products without appropriate limitations. In the past, we did not consistently require our employees and consultants to enter into confidentiality agreements, employment agreements, or proprietary information and invention agreements. Therefore, our former employees and consultants may try to claim some ownership interest in our technologies and products and may use our technologies and products competitively and without appropriate limitations.

Other companies, including our competitors, may develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technologies, duplicate our technologies, or design around our patents and may have or obtain patents or other proprietary rights that would prevent, limit, or interfere with our ability to make, use, or sell our products. Effective intellectual property protection may be unavailable or limited in some foreign countries, such as China and Taiwan, in which we operate. Unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise use aspects of our technologies and products that we regard as proprietary. There can be no assurance that our means of protecting our proprietary rights in the United States or abroad will be adequate or that competitors will not independently develop similar technologies. If our intellectual property protection is insufficient to protect our intellectual property rights, we could face increased competition in the market for our technologies and products.

Customers

We currently serve the world’s ten largest PC OEMs, based on unit shipments, as well as a variety of consumer electronics manufacturers. Our demonstrated track record of technological leadership, design innovation, product performance, and on-time delivery have resulted in our serving as the sole source of notebook interfaces for many of our customers. We believe our strong relationship with our OEM customers, many of which are currently developing iAppliance and other products, will position us as a primary source of supply for their product offerings.

Our OEM customers include the following:


•	Acer	•	Hewlett-Packard/Compaq




•	Apple	•	IBM




•	Asustek	•	Legend




•	Dell	•	NEC




•	Fujitsu/Siemens	•	Samsung




•	Gateway	•	Sony




•	Gericom	•	Toshiba

We supply our OEM customers through their contract manufacturers. These contract manufacturers include Arima, Compal, Inventec, Mitac, Nypro, Quanta, and Wistron. During fiscal 2002, sales to Quanta and Nypro accounted for 16% and 12%, respectively, of our revenue. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue during this period.

We consider both the OEMs and the contract manufacturers to be our customers. The OEMs typically determine the design and pricing requirements and make the overall decision regarding the use of our interface solutions in their products. The contract manufacturers place orders with us for the purchase of our products, take title to the products purchased upon shipment by us, and pay us directly for those purchases. These customers have no return privileges, except for warranty provisions.

Strategic Relationships

We have established key strategic relationships to enhance our ability to offer value-added customer solutions and rapidly gain market share. We intend to enter into additional strategic relationships with other leading companies in our target markets.

Three-Five Systems

Our strategic relationship with Three-Five Systems, a leading supplier of custom designed display modules, provides for the development and marketing of touch screen LCD products. We plan to expand our product solutions by integrating our ClearPad and Spiral touch screen solutions with LCD display modules developed by Three-Five Systems. We believe that LCD screens that incorporate our ClearPad technology result in superior LCD touch screens for use in a variety of OEM products, including cellular phones, MP3 players, and ultra-portable computers.

AuthenTec

We established our relationship with AuthenTec, a leading developer of fingerprint sensing technology, to develop products that contain fingerprint verification security capabilities. We plan to incorporate fingerprint verification capabilities into our TouchPad products, allowing us to offer our customers enhanced security for their notebook computers and iAppliances. Before gaining access to the computer, users will be required to authenticate their identity by placing a finger on the fingerprint sensor that is integrated into a module containing our TouchPad product.

Zytronic

We established our relationship with Zytronic, a developer of large glass laminated sensors, to develop a capacitive touch sensing controller to be integrated in Zytronic’s products. We jointly announced the availability of the integrated touch screens in March 2002, which are now being marketed and sold by Zytronic. These products can be used in applications utilizing large screen interface displays.

CityOne

We established our relationship with CityOne Network Communications, a company specializing in research and development, manufacturing and sales of public communications systems and information terminal products in China, to develop and manufacture a character recognition enabled TouchPad module for short text

message input for integration into CityOne public access telephones in China. The module, combining our QuickStroke Chinese character recognition software with a TouchPad, can be easily integrated into public telephones, as well as home telephones.

Sales and Marketing

We sell our product solutions for incorporation into the products of OEMs. We generate sales through direct sales employees and sales representatives. Our sales personnel receive substantial technical assistance and support from our internal engineering resources because of the highly technical nature of our product solutions. Sales frequently result from multi-level sales efforts that involve senior management, design engineers, and our sales personnel interacting with our customers’ decision makers throughout the product development and order process.

We currently employ 34 sales and marketing professionals. We maintain five sales offices domestically and internationally, which are in the United States, the United Kingdom, Taiwan, Japan, and China. In addition, we maintain sales representatives in offices in Singapore, Korea, Japan, and Europe.

International sales, primarily in the Asian and European markets, constituted approximately 95%, 86%, and 97% of our revenue in fiscal 2000, 2001, and 2002, respectively. Substantially all of these sales were made to companies that provide manufacturing services for major notebook computer OEMs. All of these sales were denominated in U.S. dollars, and we believe that a substantial portion of the notebooks containing our products were ultimately shipped to the United States.

Manufacturing

We employ a virtual manufacturing platform through third-party relationships. We currently utilize a single semiconductor manufacturer to supply us with our requirements for our proprietary ASICs utilized in our notebook interface solutions.

After production and testing, the ASICs are shipped to our subcontractors for assembly. During the assembly process, our ASIC is combined with other components to complete our product solution. The finished assembly is then shipped by our subcontractors directly to our customers for integration into their products.

We believe our virtual manufacturing strategy provides a scalable business model; enables us to concentrate on our core competencies of research and development, technological advances, and product design; and reduces our capital expenditures. In addition, this strategy significantly reduces our inventory costs because we do not incur most of our manufacturing costs until we have actually shipped our product solutions to our customers and billed those customers for those products.

Our third-party manufacturers are Asian-based organizations. We provide our manufacturing subcontractors with six-month rolling forecasts of our production requirements. We do not, however, have long-term agreements with any of our manufacturing subcontractors that guarantee production capacity, prices, lead times, or delivery schedules. The strategy of relying on those parties exposes us to vulnerability owing to our dependence on few sources of supply. We believe that other sources of supply are available. In addition, we may establish relationships with other manufacturing subcontractors in order to reduce our dependence on any one source of supply.

Backlog

As of June 30, 2002, we had a backlog of orders of approximately $7.9 million. The backlog of orders as of June 30, 2001 was approximately $12.5 million. Our backlog consists of product orders for which purchase orders have been received and which are scheduled for shipment within six months. Most orders are subject to rescheduling or cancellation with limited penalties. Because of the possibility of customer changes in product shipments, our backlog as of a particular date may not be indicative of net sales for any succeeding period.

Competition

Our principal competitor in the sale of notebook touch pads is Alps Electric, a Japanese conglomerate. Our principal competitors in the sale of notebook pointing sticks are Alps Electric, NMB, and CTS. In the iAppliance

interface markets, our potential competitors include Alps Electric, Panasonic, Gunze, and various other companies involved in user interface solutions. In certain cases, large OEMs may develop alternative interface solutions for their own products.

In the notebook interface markets, we plan to continue to compete primarily on the basis of our technological expertise, design innovation, customer service, and the long track record of performance of our interface solutions, including their ease of use, reliability, and cost-effectiveness as well as their timely design, production, and delivery schedules. Our new pointing stick solutions, including our proprietary TouchStyk, now enable us to address the approximate 25% of the notebook computer market that uses solely a pointing stick rather than a touch pad as the user interface as well as to address the growing trend toward dual pointing interfaces. Our ability to supply OEMs with both TouchPads and TouchStyks enhances our market position since we can provide OEMs with the following advantages:

	•		single source supplier that eliminates compatibility issues;

	•		cost-effective and simplified OEM integration;

	•		simplified product line to address both markets;

	•		end user flexibility since one notebook can address both user preferences; and

	•		modular approach allowing OEMs to utilize our TouchPad, our TouchStyk, or a combination of both interfaces.

In the interface markets for iAppliances and other electronic devices, we intend to compete primarily based on the advantages of our capacitive, inductive, and neural pattern recognition technologies. We believe our technologies offer significant benefits in terms of size, power consumption, durability, light transmissivity, resolution, ease of use, and reliability when compared to other technologies. While these markets are just beginning to emerge, and we do not know what the competitive factors will ultimately be, we believe we are positioned to compete aggressively for this business based on our proven track record, our marquee global customer base, and our reputation for design innovation in the notebook market. However, some of our competitors, particularly in the iAppliance and electronic device markets, have greater market recognition, large customer bases, and substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution, and other resources than we possess that afford them competitive advantages. As a result, they may be able to introduce new product solutions and respond to customer requirements more quickly than we can. In addition, new competitors, alliances among competitors, or alliances among competitors and OEMs may emerge and allow competitors to rapidly acquire significant market share. Furthermore, our competitors may in the future develop technologies that more effectively address the interface needs of the notebook market and other markets.

Our sales, profitability, and success depend on our ability to compete with other suppliers of interface solutions. Our competitive position could be adversely affected if one or more of our current OEMs reduce their orders or if we are unable to develop customers for interface solutions in other markets.

Employees

As of June 30, 2002, we employed a total of 174 persons, including 28 in finance, administration, and operations, 34 in sales and marketing, and 112 in research and development. Of these employees, 128 were located in the United States, 25 in the United Kingdom, and 21 in Taiwan, some of which also spend time in our satellite offices in Hong Kong, China, and Thailand. We consider our relationship with our employees to be good, and none of our employees are represented by a union in collective bargaining with us.

Competition for qualified personnel in our industry is extremely intense, particularly for engineering and other technical personnel. Our success depends in part on our continued ability to attract, hire, and retain qualified personnel.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the following factors, together with all the other information included in this report, in evaluating our company and our business.

We currently depend on TouchPad and TouchStyk products, and the notebook computer market, for our revenue, and a downturn in this product or market could have a more disproportionate impact on our revenue than if we were more diversified.

Historically, we derived substantially all of our revenue from the sale of our TouchPads for notebook computers. Our new pointing stick solutions, including our proprietary TouchStyk, which also address the notebook computer market, began to produce revenue in the second half of fiscal 2002. The PC market as a whole recently has experienced a slowdown in growth. While our long-term objective is to derive revenue from multiple interface solutions for both the notebook computer market and the iAppliance and other electronic device markets, we anticipate that sales of our TouchPads and TouchStyks for notebooks will continue to represent the most substantial portion of our revenue, in the near term. Although our revenue has continued to expand during the recent decline in demand for notebook computers as a result of an increase in our market share and the accelerating use of dual pointing solutions, we do not know whether we will be able to sustain or continue to increase our market share, that the use of dual pointing solutions will continue to expand, or that the notebook computer market will not continue to soften. As a result, a continuing or accelerating softening in the demand in the notebook portion of the PC market or the level of our participation in that market would cause our business, financial condition, and results of operations to suffer more than they would have if we offered a more diversified line of products.

Our emerging interface business for iAppliances and other electronic devices may not be successful.

Our emerging interface business for iAppliances and other electronic devices faces many uncertainties. Our inability to address these uncertainties successfully and to become a leading supplier of interfaces to these markets would result in a slower growth rate than we currently anticipate. We have not yet penetrated these markets in a manner that has resulted in meaningful revenue to us. We do not know whether our user interface solutions for these markets will gain market acceptance or will ever result in meaningful revenue to us. The failure to succeed in these markets would result in no return on the substantial investments we have made to date and plan to make in the future to penetrate these markets.

Various target markets for our interfaces in these markets, such as those for PDAs, smart phones, MP3 players, smart handheld devices, Web terminals, Internet appliances, and interactive games and toys, are uncertain, may develop slower than anticipated, or could utilize competing technologies. The market for certain of these products depends in part upon the development and deployment of wireless and other technologies, which may or may not address the needs of users of these new products.

Our ability to generate significant revenue from the iAppliance and other electronic device markets will depend on various factors, including the following:

	•		the development and growth of these markets;

	•		the ability of our technologies and product solutions to address the needs of these markets, the requirements of OEMs, and the preferences of end users; and

	•		our ability to provide OEMs with interface solutions that provide advantages in terms of size, power consumption, reliability, durability, performance, and value-added features compared to alternative solutions.

Many manufacturers of these products have well-established relationships with competitive suppliers. Penetrating these markets will require us to offer better performance alternatives to existing solutions at competitive costs. We do not have any significant backlog of orders for our interface solutions to be incorporated in products in these markets. The revenue and income potential from these markets is unproven. The failure of any of these target markets to develop as we expect, or our failure to penetrate these markets, will impede our anticipated sales growth

and could result in substantially reduced earnings from those we anticipate. We cannot predict the size or growth rate of these markets or the market share of these markets that we will achieve.

If our emerging Spiral solutions are not commercially accepted, our revenue growth will be negatively impacted.

Our emerging Spiral solutions have no established track record. The failure to incorporate this technology successfully into our customers’ products as the interface of choice would adversely affect our revenue growth. To succeed, we must help potential customers recognize the performance advantages of our solutions. The ability to produce these new products in sufficient quantities and the revenue and income potential of our new solutions are unproven.

Our historical financial information is based on sales of interface solutions to the notebook computer market and may not be indicative of our future performance in other markets.

Our historical financial information primarily reflects the sale of interface solutions for notebook computers. While we expect sales of our interface solutions for notebook computers to continue to generate a substantial percentage of our revenue, we expect to derive an increasing percentage of our revenue from sales of our product solutions for additional markets, including iAppliances and other electronic devices. We do not have an operating history in these markets upon which you can evaluate our prospects, which may make it difficult to predict our actual results in future periods. Actual results of our future operations may differ materially from our anticipated results.

The products of our customers may not achieve market acceptance, particularly in the case of iAppliances and other electronic devices, and our sales will decline if sales of those products do not develop or decline.

We do not sell any products to end users. Instead, we design various interface solutions that our OEM customers incorporate into their products. As a result, our success depends almost entirely upon the widespread market acceptance of our customers’ products. We do not control or influence the manufacture, promotion, distribution, or pricing of the products that incorporate our interface solutions. Instead, we depend on our customers to manufacture and distribute products incorporating our interface solutions and to generate consumer demand through marketing and promotional activities. Even if our technologies successfully meet our customers’ price and performance goals, our sales would decline or fail to develop if our customers do not achieve commercial success in selling their products that incorporate our interface solutions.

Our customer base historically has consisted primarily of major U.S.-based OEMs that sell notebook computers worldwide. During fiscal 2002, we began to ship products to many of the Japan-based OEMs. Competitive advances by Japan-based OEMs, which do not utilize our interface solutions broadly in their product offerings, at the expense of our U.S.-based OEM customers could result in lost sales opportunities for our customers. Any significant slowdown in the demand for our customers’ products or the failure in the marketplace of new products of our customers would adversely affect the demand for our interface solutions and our future sales would decline.

If we fail to maintain and build relationships with our customers and do not continue to satisfy our customers, we may lose future sales and our revenue may stagnate or decline.

Because our success depends on the widespread market acceptance of our customers’ products, we must continue to maintain our relationships with the leading notebook computer OEMs. In addition, we must identify areas of significant growth potential in other markets, establish relationships with OEMs in those markets, and assist those OEMs in developing products that use our interface technologies. Our failure to identify potential growth opportunities, particularly in new markets, or establish and maintain relationships with OEMs in those markets, would prevent our business from growing in those markets.

Our ability to meet the expectations of our customers requires us to provide innovative interface solutions for customers on a timely and cost-effective basis and to maintain customer satisfaction with our interface solutions. We must match our design and production capacity with customer demand, maintain satisfactory delivery schedules,

and meet performance goals. If we are unable to achieve these goals for any reason, our customers could reduce their purchases from us and our sales would decline or fail to develop.

Our customer relationships also can be affected by factors affecting our customers that are unrelated to our performance. These factors can include a myriad of situations, including business reversals of customers, determinations by customers to change their product mix or abandon business segments, or mergers, consolidations, or acquisitions involving our customers, such as the recent combination of Compaq and Hewlett-Packard.

We relied on two companies in fiscal 2002 for an aggregate of 28% of our sales, and the loss of sales to either of those companies could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Sales to two companies that provide manufacturing services for major notebook computer OEMs accounted for 16% and 12% of our net revenue during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, and two companies accounted for 32% and 11% of our net revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001. These companies are Quanta and Nypro in both fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2001. Additionally, receivables from Shanghai Yi Hsin, Quanta, and Chenming Mold comprised a total of 39% of our accounts receivable at June 30, 2002.

These contract manufacturers serve our OEM customers. Any material delay, cancellation, or reduction of orders from any one or more of these contract manufacturers or the OEMs they serve could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The adverse effect would be more substantial if our other customers in the notebook computer industry do not increase their orders or if we are unsuccessful in generating orders for interface solutions in other markets, including iAppliances and other electronic devices, from existing or new customers. Many of these contract manufacturers sell to the same OEMs, and therefore our concentration with certain OEMs may be higher than with any individual contract manufacturer. Concentration in our customer base may make fluctuations in revenue and earnings more severe and make business planning more difficult.

Our revenue may decline if customers for which we are sole source providers seek alternative sources of supply.

We serve as the sole source provider for many of our customers. Those customers may choose to reduce their dependence on us by seeking second sources of supply, which could reduce our revenue. To remain a sole source provider, we must continue to demonstrate to our customers that we have adequate alternate sources for components, that we maintain adequate alternatives for production, and that we can deliver high value products on a timely basis.

We rely on others for our production, and any interruptions of these arrangements could disrupt our ability to fill our customers’ orders.

We contract for all of our production requirements. The majority of our manufacturing is conducted in China, Thailand, and Taiwan by manufacturing subcontractors that also perform services for numerous other companies. We do not have a guaranteed level of production capacity. Qualifying new manufacturing subcontractors, and specifically semiconductor foundries, is time-consuming and might result in unforeseen manufacturing and operations problems. The loss of our relationships with our manufacturing subcontractors or assemblers or their inability to conduct their manufacturing and assembly services for us as anticipated in terms of cost, quality, and timeliness could adversely affect our ability to fill customer orders in accordance with required delivery, quality, and performance requirements. If this were to occur, the resulting decline in revenue would harm our business.

We depend on third parties to maintain satisfactory manufacturing yields and delivery schedules, and their inability to do so could increase our costs, disrupt our supply chain, and result in our inability to deliver our products, which would adversely affect our results of operations.

We depend on our manufacturing subcontractors to maintain high levels of productivity and satisfactory delivery schedules at manufacturing and assembly facilities in China, Thailand, and Taiwan. We provide our manufacturing subcontractors with six-month rolling forecasts of our production requirements. We do not, however, have long-term agreements with any of our manufacturing subcontractors that guarantee production capacity, prices, lead times, or delivery schedules. Our manufacturers serve many other customers, a number of which have greater

production requirements than we do. As a result, our manufacturing subcontractors could determine to prioritize production capacity for other customers or reduce or eliminate deliveries to us on short notice. At times, we have experienced lower than anticipated manufacturing yields and lengthening of delivery schedules. Lower than expected manufacturing yields could increase our costs or disrupt our supplies. We may encounter lower manufacturing yields and longer delivery schedules in commencing volume production of our new products. Any of these problems could result in our inability to deliver our product solutions in a timely manner and adversely affect our operating results.

Shortages of components and materials may delay or reduce our sales and increase our costs, thereby harming our results of operations.

The inability to obtain sufficient quantities of components and other materials necessary for the production of our products could result in reduced or delayed sales or lost orders. Any delay in or loss of sales could adversely impact our operating results. Many of the materials used in the production of our products are available only from a limited number of foreign suppliers, particularly suppliers located in Asia. In most cases, neither we nor our manufacturing subcontractors have long-term supply contracts with these suppliers. As a result, we are subject to economic instability in these Asian countries as well as to increased costs, supply interruptions, and difficulties in obtaining materials. Our customers also may encounter difficulties or increased costs in obtaining the materials necessary to produce their products into which our product solutions are incorporated.

From time to time, materials and components used in our product solutions or in other aspects of our customers’ products have been subject to allocation because of shortages of these materials and components. During portions of fiscal 2000 and 2001, limited manufacturing capacity for ASICs resulted in significant cost increases of our ASICs. Similar shortages in the future could cause delayed shipments, customer dissatisfaction, and lower revenue.

We are subject to lengthy development periods and product acceptance cycles, which can result in development and engineering costs without any future revenue.

We provide interface solutions that are incorporated by OEMs into the products they sell. OEMs make the determination during their product development programs whether to incorporate our interface solutions or pursue other alternatives. This process requires us to make significant investments of time and resources in the custom design of interface solutions well before our customers introduce their products incorporating these interfaces and before we can be sure that we will generate any significant sales to our customers or even recover our investment. During a customer’s entire product development process, we face the risk that our interfaces will fail to meet our customer’s technical, performance, or cost requirements or that our products will be replaced by competitive products or alternative technological solutions. Even if we complete our design process in a manner satisfactory to our customer, the customer may delay or terminate its product development efforts. The occurrence of any of these events could cause sales to be deferred or to be cancelled, which would adversely affect our operating results for that period.

We do not have long-term purchase commitments from our customers, and their ability to cancel, reduce, or delay orders could reduce our revenue and increase our costs.

Our customers do not provide us with firm, long-term volume purchase commitments. As a result, customers can cancel purchase commitments or reduce or delay orders at any time. The cancellation, delay, or reduction of customer commitments could result in reduced revenue, excess inventory, and unabsorbed overhead. Substantially all of our sales to date have been in the notebook computer market, and we expect an increasing portion of our sales will be in the iAppliance and other electronics devices markets. All of these markets are subject to severe competitive pressures, rapid technological change, and product obsolescence, which increase our inventory and overhead risks, resulting in increased costs.

We face intense competition that could result in our losing or failing to gain market share and suffering reduced revenue.

We serve intensely competitive markets that are characterized by price erosion, rapid technological change, and competition from major domestic and international companies. This intense competition could result in pricing

pressures, lower sales, reduced margins, and lower market share. Some of our competitors, particularly in the markets for iAppliances and other electronic devices, have greater market recognition, larger customer bases, and substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution, and other resources than we possess and that afford them competitive advantages. As a result, they may be able to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of products, to negotiate lower prices on raw materials and components, to deliver competitive products at lower prices, and to introduce new product solutions and respond to customer requirements more quickly than we can. Our competitive position could suffer if one or more of our customers decide to design and manufacture their own interfaces, to contract with our competitors, or to use alternative technologies.

Our ability to compete successfully depends on a number of factors, both within and outside our control. These factors include the following:

	•		our success in designing and introducing new interface solutions, including those implementing new technologies;

	•		our ability to predict the evolving needs of our customers and to assist them in incorporating our technologies into their new products;

	•		our ability to meet our customer’s requirements for low power consumption, ease of use, reliability, durability, and small form factor;

	•		the quality of our customer services;

	•		the rate at which customers incorporate our interface solutions into their own products;

	•		product or technology introductions by our competitors; and

	•		foreign currency fluctuations, which may cause a foreign competitor’s products to be priced significantly lower than our product solutions.

If we do not keep pace with technological innovations, our products may not be competitive and our revenue and operating results may suffer.

We operate in rapidly changing markets. Technological advances, the introduction of new products, and new design techniques could adversely affect our business unless we are able to adapt to the changing conditions. Technological advances could render our solutions obsolete, and we may not be able to respond effectively to the technological requirements of evolving markets. As a result, we will be required to expend substantial funds for and commit significant resources to

	•		continue research and development activities on existing and potential interface solutions;

	•		hire additional engineering and other technical personnel; and

	•		purchase advanced design tools and test equipment.

Our business could be harmed if we are unable to develop and utilize new technologies that address the needs of our customers, or our competitors or customers do so more effectively than we do.

Our efforts to develop new technologies may not result in commercial success, which could cause a decline in our revenue and could harm our business.

Our research and development efforts with respect to new technologies may not result in customer or market acceptance. Some or all of those technologies may not successfully make the transition from the research and development lab to cost-effective production as a result of technology problems, competitive cost issues, yield problems, and other factors. Even when we successfully complete a research and development effort with respect to a particular technology, our customers may decide not to introduce or may terminate products utilizing the technology for a variety of reasons, including the following:

	•		difficulties with other suppliers of components for the products;

	•		superior technologies developed by our competitors and unfavorable comparisons of our solutions with these technologies;

	•		price considerations; and

	•		lack of anticipated or actual market demand for the products.

The nature of our business requires us to make continuing investments for new technologies. To facilitate the development of our inductive technology, we completed the acquisition of Absolute Sensors Limited during fiscal 2000. We may be required to make similar acquisitions and other investments in the future to maintain or enhance our ability to offer technological solutions.

Significant expenses relating to one or more new technologies that ultimately prove to be unsuccessful for any reason could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, any investments or acquisitions made to enhance our technologies may prove to be unsuccessful. If our efforts are unsuccessful, our business could be harmed.

We may not be able to enhance our existing product solutions and develop new product solutions in a timely manner.

Our future operating results will depend to a significant extent on our ability to continue to provide new interface solutions that compare favorably with alternative solutions on the basis of time to introduction, cost, and performance. Our success in maintaining existing and attracting new customers and developing new business depends on various factors, including the following:

	•		innovative development of new solutions for customer products;

	•		utilization of advances in technology;

	•		maintenance of quality standards;

	•		efficient and cost-effective services; and

	•		timely completion of the design and introduction of new interface solutions.

Our inability to enhance our existing product solutions and develop new product solutions on a timely basis could harm our operating results and impede our growth.

A technologically new interface solution that achieves significant market share could harm our business.

Our interface solutions are designed to integrate touch, handwriting, and vision capabilities. New computing and communications devices could be developed that call for a different interface solution. Existing devices also could be modified to allow for a different interface solution. Our business could be harmed if our products become noncompetitive as a result of a technological breakthrough that allows a new interface solution to displace our solutions and achieve significant market acceptance.

International sales and manufacturing risks could adversely affect our operating results.

Our manufacturing and assembly operations are conducted in China, Thailand, and Taiwan, and we have other operations in Taiwan and the United Kingdom. These international operations expose us to various economic, political, and other risks that could adversely affect our operations and operating results, including the following:

	•		difficulties and costs of staffing and managing a multi-national organization;

	•		unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;

	•		differing labor regulations;

	•		potentially adverse tax consequences;

	•		tariffs and duties and other trade barrier restrictions;

	•		possible employee turnover or labor unrest;

	•		greater difficulty in collecting accounts receivable;

	•		the burdens and costs of compliance with a variety of foreign laws;

	•		potentially reduced protection for intellectual property rights; and

	•		political or economic instability in certain parts of the world.

Sales to Taiwan-based contract manufacturers for OEMs based in the United States account for a significant percentage of our net sales. In fiscal 2002, sales to Taiwan-based contract manufacturers for U.S.-based OEMs alone accounted for 62% of our net sales. In the future, we expect sales to contract manufacturers for OEMs based in Europe and Japan to increase. The risks associated with international operations could negatively affect our operating results.

Our business may suffer if international trade is hindered, disrupted, or economically disadvantaged.

Political and economic conditions abroad may adversely affect the foreign production and sale of our products. Protectionist trade legislation in either the United States or foreign countries, such as a change in the current tariff structures, export or import compliance laws, or other trade policies, could adversely affect our ability to sell interface solutions in foreign markets and to obtain materials or equipment from foreign suppliers.

Changes in policies by the U.S. or foreign governments resulting in, among other things, higher taxation, currency conversion limitations, restrictions on the transfer of funds, or the expropriation of private enterprises also could have a material adverse effect on us. Any actions by countries in which we conduct business to reverse policies that encourage foreign investment or foreign trade also could adversely affect our operating results. In addition, U.S. trade policies, such as “most favored nation” status and trade preferences for certain Asian nations, could affect the attractiveness of our services to our U.S. customers and adversely impact our operating results.

Our operating results could be adversely affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies.

We transact business predominantly in U.S. dollars and bill and collect our sales in U.S. dollars. A weakening of the dollar could cause our overseas vendors to require renegotiation of the prices we pay for their goods and services. In the future, customers may make payments in non-U.S. currencies. In addition, a portion of our costs, such as payroll, rent, and indirect operating costs, are denominated in non-U.S. currencies, including British pounds and Taiwan dollars.

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could affect our cost of goods and operating margins and could result in exchange losses. In addition, currency devaluation can result in a loss to us if we hold deposits of that currency. Hedging foreign currencies can be difficult, especially if the currency is not freely traded. We cannot predict the impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on our operating results.

A majority of our outsourced operations are located in Taiwan, increasing the risk that a natural disaster, labor strike, war, or political unrest in that country would disrupt our operations.

A majority of our outsourced operations are located in Taiwan. Events out of our control, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, or other natural disasters in Taiwan or political unrest, war, labor strikes, or work stoppages in Taiwan, would disrupt our operations. The risk of earthquakes in Taiwan is significant because of its proximity to major earthquake fault lines. An earthquake, such as the one that occurred in Taiwan in September 1999, could cause significant delays in shipments of our product solutions until we are able to shift our outsourced operations. In addition, there is currently significant political tension between Taiwan and China, which could lead

to hostilities. If any of these events occur, we may not be able to obtain alternative capacity. Failure to secure alternative capacity could cause a delay in the shipment of our product solutions, which would cause our revenue to fluctuate or decline.

Variability of customer requirements resulting in cancellations, reductions, or delays may adversely affect our operating results.

OEM suppliers must provide increasingly rapid product turnaround and respond to ever-shorter lead times. A variety of conditions, both specific to individual customers and generally affecting the demand for their products, may cause customers to cancel, reduce, or delay orders. Cancellations, reductions, or delays by a significant customer or by a group of customers could adversely affect our operating results. On occasion, customers require rapid increases in production, which can strain our resources and reduce our margins. Although we have been able to obtain increased production capacity from our third-party manufacturers, we may be unable to do so at any given time to meet our customers’ demands if their demands exceed anticipated levels.

Our operating results may experience significant fluctuations that could result in a decline in the price of our stock.

In addition to the variability resulting from the short-term nature of our customers’ commitments, other factors contribute to significant periodic and seasonal quarterly fluctuations in our results of operations. These factors include the following:

	•		the cyclicality of the markets we serve;

	•		the timing and size of orders;

	•		the volume of orders relative to our capacity;

	•		product introductions and market acceptance of new products or new generations of products;

	•		evolution in the life cycles of our customers’ products;

	•		timing of expenses in anticipation of future orders;

	•		changes in product mix;

	•		availability of manufacturing and assembly services;

	•		changes in cost and availability of labor and components;

	•		timely delivery of product solutions to customers;

	•		pricing and availability of competitive products;

	•		pressures on gross margins; and

	•		changes in economic conditions.

Accordingly, you should not rely on period-to-period comparisons as an indicator of our future performance. Fluctuations in our operating results may result in a decline in the price of our stock.

If we fail to effectively manage our growth, our infrastructure, management, and resources could be strained, our ability to effectively manage our business could be diminished, and our operating results could suffer.

The failure to manage our growth effectively could strain our resources, which would impede our ability to increase revenue. We have increased the number of our interface solutions and plan to expand further the number and diversity of our solutions and their use in the future. Our ability to manage our planned growth effectively will require us to

	•		successfully hire, train, retain, and motivate additional employees;

	•		enhance our operational, financial, and management systems; and

	•		expand our production capacity.

As we expand and diversify our product and customer base, we may be required to increase our overhead and selling expenses. We also may be required to increase staffing and other expenditures, including expenses in order to meet the anticipated demand of our customers. Our customers, however, do not commit to firm production schedules for more than a short time in advance. Any increase in expenses in anticipation of future orders that do not materialize would adversely affect our profitability. Our customers also may require rapid increases in design and production services that place an excessive short-term burden on our resources and the resources of our third-party manufacturers. If we cannot manage our growth effectively, our business and results of operations could suffer.

We depend on key personnel who would be difficult to replace and our business will likely be harmed if we lose their services or cannot hire additional qualified personnel.

Our success depends substantially on the efforts and abilities of our senior management and technical personnel. The competition for qualified management and technical personnel, especially engineers, is intense. Although we maintain noncompetition and nondisclosure covenants with most of our key personnel, we do not have employment agreements with any of them. The loss of services of one or more of our key employees or the inability to hire, train, and retain key personnel, especially engineers and technical support personnel, could delay the development and sale of our products, disrupt our business, and interfere with our ability to execute our business plan.

Our inability to protect our intellectual property could impair our competitive advantage, reduce our revenue, and increase our costs.

Our success and ability to compete depend in part on our ability to maintain the proprietary aspects of our technologies and products. We rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, confidentiality agreements, and other contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property, but these measures may provide only limited protection. We license from third parties certain technology used in and for our products. These third-party licenses are granted with restrictions, and there can be no assurances that such third-party technology will remain available to us on terms beneficial to us. Our failure to enforce and protect our intellectual property rights or obtain from third parties the right to use necessary technology could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights as fully as do the laws of the United States.

Patents may not issue from the patent applications that we have filed or may file. Our issued patents may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, and claims of our patents may not be of sufficient scope or strength, or issued in the proper geographic regions, to provide meaningful protection or any commercial advantage. We have not applied for, and do not have, any copyright registration on our technologies or products. We have applied to register certain of our trademarks in the United States and other countries. There can be no assurances that we will obtain registrations of principle or other trademarks in key markets. Failure to obtain registrations could compromise our ability to protect fully our trademarks and brands and could increase the risk of challenge from third parties to our use of our trademarks and brands.

We do not consistently rely on written agreements with our customers, suppliers, manufacturers and other recipients of our technologies and products, and therefore some trade secret protection may be lost and our ability to enforce our intellectual property rights may be limited. Additionally, our customers, suppliers, manufacturers, and other recipients of our technologies and products may seek to use our technologies and products without appropriate limitations. In the past, we did not consistently require our employees and consultants to enter into confidentiality agreements, employment agreements, or proprietary information and invention agreements. Therefore, our former employees and consultants may try to claim some ownership interest in our technologies and products and may use our technologies and products competitively and without appropriate limitations.

We may be required to incur substantial expenses and divert management attention and resources in defending intellectual property litigation against us.

We may receive notices from third parties that claim our products infringe their rights. From time to time, we receive notice from third parties of the intellectual property rights such parties have obtained. We cannot be certain that our technologies and products do not and will not infringe issued patents or other proprietary rights of others. While we are not currently subject to any infringement claim, any future claim, with or without merit, could result in significant litigation costs and diversion of resources, including the attention of management, and could require us to enter into royalty and licensing agreements, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. There can be no assurance that such licenses could be obtained on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, or that the terms of any offered licenses would be acceptable to us. If forced to cease using such technology, there can be no assurance that we would be able to develop or obtain alternate technology. Accordingly, an adverse determination in a judicial or administrative proceeding or failure to obtain necessary licenses could prevent us from manufacturing, using, or selling certain of our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Furthermore, parties making such claims could secure a judgment awarding substantial damages, as well as injunctive or other equitable relief that could effectively block our ability to make, use, or sell our products in the United States or abroad. Such a judgment could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, we are obligated under certain agreements to indemnify the other party in connection with infringement by us of the proprietary rights of third parties. In the event we are required to indemnify parties under these agreements, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We may incur substantial expenses and divert management resources in prosecuting others for their unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights.

The markets in which we compete are characterized by frequent litigation regarding patents and other intellectual property rights. Other companies, including our competitors, may develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technologies, duplicate our technologies, or design around our patents and may have or obtain patents or other proprietary rights that would prevent, limit, or interfere with our ability to make, use, or sell our products. Effective intellectual property protection may be unavailable or limited in some foreign countries, such as China and Taiwan, in which we operate. Unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise use aspects of our technologies and products that we regard as proprietary. There can be no assurance that our means of protecting our proprietary rights in the United States or abroad will be adequate or that competitors will not independently develop similar technologies. If our intellectual property protection is insufficient to protect our intellectual property rights, we could face increased competition in the market for our technologies and products.

Should any of our competitors file patent applications or obtain patents that claim inventions also claimed by us, we may choose to participate in an interference proceeding to determine the right to a patent for these inventions because our business would be harmed if we fail to enforce and protect our intellectual property rights. Even if the outcome is favorable, this proceeding could result in substantial cost to us and disrupt our business.

In the future, we also may need to file lawsuits to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. This litigation, whether successful or unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

If we become subject to product returns and product liability claims resulting from defects in our products, we may fail to achieve market acceptance of our products and our business could be harmed.

We develop complex products in an evolving marketplace. Despite testing by us and our customers, defects may be found in existing or new products. In fiscal 2001, a manufacturing error of one of our manufacturing subcontractors was discovered. Although the error was promptly discovered without significant interruption of supply and the manufacturing subcontractor rectified the problem at its own cost, any such manufacturing errors or product defects could result in a delay in recognition or loss of revenue, loss of market share, or failure to achieve market acceptance. Additionally, these defects could result in financial or other damages to our customers; cause us

to incur significant warranty, support, and repair costs; and divert the attention of our engineering personnel from our product development efforts. In such circumstances, our customers could also seek and obtain damages from us for their losses. A product liability claim brought against us, even if unsuccessful, would likely be time-consuming and costly to defend. The occurrence of these problems would likely harm our business.

Potential strategic alliances may not achieve their objectives, and the failure to do so could impede our growth.

We anticipate that we will enter into various additional strategic alliances. Among other matters, we will explore strategic alliances designed to enhance or complement our technology or to work in conjunction with our technology; to provide necessary know-how, components, or supplies; and to develop, introduce, and distribute products utilizing our technology. Any strategic alliances may not achieve their intended objectives, and parties to our strategic alliances may not perform as contemplated. The failure of these alliances may impede our ability to introduce new products and enter new markets.

Any acquisitions that we undertake could be difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value, and harm our operating results.

We expect to review opportunities to acquire other businesses and technologies that would complement our current interface solutions, expand the breadth of our markets, enhance our technical capabilities, or otherwise offer growth opportunities. While we have no current agreements or negotiations underway, we may acquire businesses, products, or technologies in the future. If we make any future acquisitions, we could issue stock that would dilute existing stockholders’ percentage ownership, incur substantial debt, or assume contingent liabilities. Our experience in acquiring other businesses and technologies is limited. Potential acquisitions also involve numerous risks, including the following:

	•		problems assimilating the purchased operations, technologies, or products;

	•		unanticipated costs associated with the acquisition;

	•		diversion of management’s attention from our core businesses;

	•		adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers;

	•		risks associated with entering markets in which we have little or no prior experience; and

	•		potential loss of key employees of purchased organizations.

We cannot assure you that we would be successful in overcoming problems encountered in connection with any acquisitions, and our inability to do so could disrupt our operations and adversely affect our business.

The PC and electronics industries are cyclical and may result in fluctuations in our operating results and stock price.

The PC and electronics industries have experienced significant economic downturns at various times, such as the downturn currently being experienced. These downturns are characterized by diminished product demand, accelerated erosion of average selling prices, and production over-capacity. In addition, the PC and electronics industries are cyclical in nature. We seek to reduce our exposure to industry downturns and cyclicality by providing design and production services for leading companies in rapidly expanding industry segments. We may, however, experience substantial period-to-period fluctuations in future operating results because of general industry conditions or events occurring in the general economy.

Legislation affecting the markets in which we compete could adversely affect our ability to implement our iAppliance strategy.

Our ability to expand our business may be adversely impacted by future laws or regulations. Our customers’ products may be subject to laws relating to communications, encryption technology, electronic

commerce, e-signatures, and privacy. Any of these laws could be expensive to comply with, and the marketability of our products could be adversely affected.

We must finance the growth of our business and the development of new products, which could have an adverse effect on our operating results.

To remain competitive, we must continue to make significant investments in research and development, marketing, and business development. Our failure to increase sufficiently our net sales to offset these increased costs would adversely affect our operating results.

From time to time, we may seek additional equity or debt financing to provide for funds required to expand our business. We cannot predict the timing or amount of any such requirements at this time. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to expand our business or to develop new business at the rate desired and our operating results may suffer. Debt financing increases expenses and must be repaid regardless of operating results. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing stockholders.

Continuing uncertainty of the U.S. economy may have serious implications for the growth and stability of our business and may negatively affect our stock price.

The revenue growth and profitability of our business depends significantly on the overall demand in the notebook computer market and in the iAppliance and other electronic device markets. Softening demand in these markets caused by ongoing economic uncertainty may result in decreased revenue or earnings levels or growth rates. The U.S. economy has weakened and market conditions continue to be challenging, which has resulted in individuals and companies delaying or reducing expenditures. Further delays or reductions in spending could have a material adverse effect on demand for our products, and consequently on our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects, and stock price.

The market price of our common stock may be volatile.

The trading price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, including the following:

	•		variations in our quarterly results;

	•		announcements of technological innovations by us or by our competitors;

	•		introductions of new products or new pricing policies by us or by our competitors;

	•		acquisitions or strategic alliances by us or by our competitors;

	•		recruitment or departure of key personnel;

	•		the gain or loss of significant orders;

	•		the gain or loss of significant customers;

	•		changes in the estimates of our operating performance or changes in recommendations by any securities analysts that follow our stock; and

	•		market conditions in our industry, the industries of our customers, and the economy as a whole.

In addition, stocks of technology companies have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated or disproportionate to these companies’ operating performance. Public announcements by technology companies concerning, among other things, their performance, accounting practices, or legal problems could cause the market price of our common stock to decline regardless of our actual operating performance.

Our charter documents and Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, and discourage a takeover.

Our certificate of incorporation and the Delaware General Corporation Law contain provisions that may have the effect of making more difficult or delaying attempts by others to obtain control of our company, even when these attempts may be in the best interests of our stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation also authorizes our board of directors, without stockholder approval, to issue one or more series of preferred stock, which could have voting and conversion rights that adversely affect or dilute the voting power of the holders of common stock. Delaware law also imposes conditions on certain business combination transactions with “interested stockholders.”

Our stockholders’ rights plan may adversely affect existing stockholders.

On August 14, 2002, we adopted a Stockholders’ Rights Plan that may have the effect of deterring, delaying, or preventing a change in control that might otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders. Under the Rights Plan, we issued a dividend of one Preferred Share Purchase Right for each share of our common stock held by stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 19, 2002. Each right entitles stockholders to purchase, at an exercise price of $60 per share, one-thousandth of a share of our newly created Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock.

In general, the stock purchase rights become exercisable when a person or group acquires 15% or more of our common stock or a tender offer or exchange offer of 15% or more of our common stock is announced or commenced. After any such event, our other stockholders may purchase additional shares of our common stock at 50% of the then-current market price. The rights will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire us on terms not approved by our board of directors. The rights should not interfere with any merger or other business combination approved by our board of directors since the rights may be redeemed by us at $0.01 per stock purchase right at any time before any person or group acquires 15% or more of our outstanding common stock. The rights expire in August 2012.

Our officers, directors, and affiliated entities own a large percentage of our company, and they could make business decisions with which you disagree that will affect the value of your investment.

Our executive officers, directors, entities affiliated with them, and other 5% or greater stockholders beneficially own approximately 28% of our outstanding common stock. These stockholders, acting together, would be able to influence significantly all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors. Thus, actions might be taken even if other stockholders oppose them. This concentration of ownership might also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our company, which could cause our stock price to decline.

Sales of large numbers of shares could adversely affect the price of our common stock.

All of the 23,329,943 shares outstanding as of September 6, 2002, are eligible for resale in the public markets. Of these shares, 6,489,377 shares are eligible for resale in the public markets subject to compliance with the volume and manner of sale rules of Rule 144 or 701 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 455,747 shares are eligible for resale in the public markets by nonaffiliates subject to manner of sale rules under Rule 701, and 16,384,819 shares are eligible for resale in the public markets either as unrestricted shares or pursuant to Rule 144(k). In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, any person (or persons whose shares are aggregated for purposes of Rule 144) who beneficially owns restricted securities with respect to which at least one year has elapsed since the later of the date the shares were acquired from us, or from an affiliate of ours, is entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock and the average weekly trading volume in common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Sales under Rule 144 also are subject to certain manner-of-sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us. Rule 701, as currently in effect, permits our employees, officers, directors, and consultants who purchase shares pursuant to a written compensatory plan or contract to resell these shares in reliance upon Rule 144, but without compliance with specific restrictions. Rule 701 provides that affiliates may sell their Rule 701 shares under Rule 144 without complying with the holding period requirement and that non-affiliates may sell their shares in reliance on Rule 144 without complying with the holding period, public information, volume limitation, or notice provisions of Rule 144. A person who is not an affiliate, who has not been

an affiliate within three months prior to sale, and who beneficially owns restricted securities with respect to which at least two years have elapsed since the later of the date the shares were acquired from us, or from an affiliate of ours, is entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144(k) without regard to any of the volume limitations or other requirements described above. Sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices.

We have registered for offer and sale up to 5,886,208 shares of common stock that are reserved for issuance pursuant to our outstanding stock option plans and available for issuance pursuant to the employee stock purchase plan. Shares issued after the effective date of such registration statements upon the exercise of stock options or pursuant to the employee stock purchase plan generally will be eligible for sale in the public market, except that affiliates will continue to be subject to volume limitations and other requirements of Rule 144. The issuance of such shares could depress the market price of our common stock.

Stockholders owning 1,973,465 shares are entitled, under contracts providing for registration rights, to require us to register our securities owned by them for public sale.

Sales as restrictions end or pursuant to registration rights may make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Our principal executive offices as well as our principal research, development, sales, marketing, and administrative functions are located in a 34,000 square foot leased facility in San Jose, California. The lease extends through January 2005 and provides for an average monthly rental payment of $53,615. We believe this facility will be adequate to meet our needs for at least the next 18 months. Our European headquarters are located in Cambridge, United Kingdom, where we lease approximately 4,000 square feet. We also maintain a 5,000 square foot office in Taiwan. In addition, we maintain satellite sales and support offices in Hong Kong, China, and Thailand.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We currently are not involved in any legal proceeding that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

Not applicable.

Dividends

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our preferred stock or our common stock. We currently plan to retain any earnings to finance the growth of our business rather than to pay cash dividends. Payments of any cash dividends in the future will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, and capital requirements as well as other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.

Our revolving line of credit places restrictions on the payment of any dividends.

Use of Proceeds

Our initial public offering of common stock was effected through a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-56026) that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 28, 2002. A total of 5,750,000 shares of our common stock were registered and sold in this offering. Of these shares, 5,000,000 shares were registered and sold on our behalf and 750,000 shares were registered and sold on behalf of certain selling stockholders. All 5,750,000 shares were sold at an initial public offering price of $11.00 per share, for an aggregate offering price of $55 million on our behalf and $8.25 million on behalf of the selling stockholders. The shares were sold through a syndicate of underwriters managed by Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., SG Cowen Securities Corporation, and SoundView Technology Corporation.

We paid to the underwriters underwriting discounts and commissions totaling $3.8 million in connection with the offering and the selling stockholders paid underwriting discounts and commissions totaling $577,500. In addition, we incurred additional expenses of approximately $2.0 million in connection with the offering, which when added to the underwriting discounts and commissions paid by us, amounts to total estimated expenses of approximately $5.8 million. Thus, the net offering proceeds to us, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, were approximately $49.2 million. No offering expenses were paid directly or indirectly to any of our directors or officers (or their associates) or persons owning ten percent (10%) or more of any class of our equity securities or to any other affiliates.

We intend to use the net proceeds from our initial public offering for the expansion of sales and marketing activities, for strategic relationships and acquisitions, and for working capital and general corporate purposes, including continued enhancement of our research and development and engineering capabilities. Pending these uses, since the time of receipt of the net proceeds, we have invested the net proceeds of this offering in government-backed securities and investment-grade fixed income instruments. We cannot predict whether the proceeds will be invested to yield a favorable return.

The amounts that we actually expend for these purposes will vary significantly depending on a number of factors, including future revenue growth and the amount of cash that we generate from operations. As a result, we will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds of the offering.

ITEM 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT RESULTS

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes contained elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report.

Overview

We are a leading worldwide developer and supplier of custom-designed user interface solutions that enable people to interact more easily and intuitively with a wide variety of mobile computing and communications devices. From our inception in 1986 through 1994, we were a development stage company, which focused on developing and refining our pattern recognition and capacitive sensing technologies, and generated revenue by providing contract engineering and design services. In fiscal 1996, we began shipping our proprietary TouchPad and are now the world’s leading supplier of touch pads to the notebook computer market. We estimate our market share to be approximately 70% for touch pads and approximately 53% for all notebook computer interfaces for fiscal 2002. We believe our market share results from the combination of our customer focus, the strength of our intellectual property, and our engineering know-how, which allow us to design products that meet the demanding design specifications of OEMs.

In April 2000, we began shipping our initial dual pointing solution, which includes third-party products, that enables notebook OEMs to offer end users the combination of both a touch pad and a pointing stick. In January 2001, we achieved our first design win incorporating our proprietary pointing stick solution, TouchStyk, into a dual pointing application for use in a notebook computer and began shipping them in volume in the December 2001 quarter. With the introduction of our TouchStyk, we now offer OEMs the choice of a touch pad, a pointing stick, or a combination of both of our proprietary interface solutions for dual pointing applications. We believe that our proprietary TouchStyk will enable us to penetrate that portion of the notebook market, which is approximately 25%, that utilizes the pointing stick as the interface solution and thereby increase our total market share of the overall notebook interface market. In addition, we plan to leverage our industry-leading capacitive sensing technology and introduce our new ClearPad and Spiral technologies into the emerging iAppliance markets.

We have experienced significant demand for our dual pointing solutions, which results in higher revenue because we are able to sell two interface solutions for each notebook computer. Most of our dual pointing revenue has been derived from product solutions that include a significant percentage of third-party products, which we either resell or license. As a consequence, the gross margin on our dual pointing revenue was initially well below the gross margin we experience from the sale of our proprietary interface solutions. Beginning in the second half of fiscal 2001, we began to see the benefits from phasing in cost-improvement programs aimed at reducing the cost of our dual pointing solutions. For fiscal 2001, however, dual pointing revenue had a significant negative impact on our gross margin. Although our dual pointing solutions containing key third-party products will continue to represent a significant portion of our dual pointing revenue for the foreseeable future, we began shipments of our new proprietary dual pointing solutions in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Shipments of our proprietary dual pointing solutions experienced steady growth during fiscal 2002. The combination of the full implementation of our cost-improvement programs for our dual pointing solutions containing key third-party products together with our new proprietary dual pointing solutions improved our gross margin in fiscal 2002 compared to our gross margin in fiscal 2001.

We recognize revenue upon shipment of our products and passage of title to our customers. Our revenue increased from $23.2 million in fiscal 1998 to $100.2 million in fiscal 2002, a compound annual growth rate of approximately 44%. Through fiscal 2000, we derived all of our product revenue from the notebook computer market. We began to generate revenue from the iAppliance markets in fiscal 2001, but our revenue to date primarily reflects shipments to notebook OEMs.

While we have been awarded design wins by many of the Japanese OEMs of notebook computers, and they are currently ordering and receiving products from us, our largest customers are the major U.S.-based OEMs that sell notebook computers worldwide. Adverse conditions in the notebook computer market or a competitive shift from U.S. to Japanese OEMs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. We work closely with our customers to design interface solutions to meet their specific requirements and provide both pre-sale custom-design services and post-sale support. During the design phase, we typically do not have any commitment from our customers to pay for our non-recurring engineering costs should the customer decide not to introduce that specific product or choose not to incorporate our interface solution in its products. We believe our focus on customer service and support has allowed us to develop strong customer relationships in the PC market, which we plan to expand in the future, and has provided us with the experience necessary to develop strong customer relationships in the new markets we intend to penetrate.

Our manufacturing operations are based on a variable cost model in which we outsource all of our production requirements, eliminating the need for significant capital expenditures and allowing us to minimize our investment in inventories. This approach requires us to work closely with our manufacturing subcontractors to ensure adequate production capacity to meet our forecasted volume requirements. We provide our manufacturing subcontractors with six-month rolling forecasts and issue purchase orders based on our anticipated requirements for the next 90 days. We do not have any long-term supply contracts with any of our manufacturing subcontractors. Currently, we primarily use one third-party manufacturer to provide our proprietary capacitive based ASICs, and in certain cases, we also rely on a single source or a limited number of suppliers to provide other key components of our products. Our cost of sales includes all costs associated with the production of our products, including materials, manufacturing, and assembly costs paid to third-party manufacturers and related overhead costs associated with our manufacturing operations personnel. Additionally, all warranty costs and any inventory provisions or write-downs are expensed as cost of sales.

Our gross margin generally reflects the combination of the added value we bring to our customers’ products in meeting their custom design requirements and our on-going cost-improvement programs. In fiscal 2001, we experienced significant pressure on our gross margin, resulting from the increasing revenue mix of dual pointing solutions containing significant third-party products. We have been successful in implementing cost reductions that have significantly improved the gross margins of these dual pointing solutions. These cost-improvement programs include reducing component costs and implementing design and process improvements. In addition, our gross margin has been positively impacted by shipments of our proprietary dual pointing solutions, which began shipping in volume in our December 2001 quarter. In the future, we plan to introduce additional new products, which may initially negatively impact our gross margin, as has been the case with our dual pointing solutions.

Our research and development expenses include expenses related to product development, engineering, materials costs, patent expenses, and the costs incurred to design interface solutions for customers prior to the customers’ commitment to incorporate those solutions into their products. These expenses have generally increased, reflecting our continuing commitment to the technological and design innovation required to maintain a leadership position in our existing markets and to develop new technologies for new markets. In fiscal 2000, we significantly increased our research and development expenses as a result of our October 1999 acquisition of Absolute Sensors Limited, or ASL, a company located in Cambridge, United Kingdom, which has been developing inductive pen-sensing technology applicable to new markets we intend to address. Also related to this acquisition was the write-off in fiscal 2000 of acquired in-process research and development of $855,000 and the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately $502,000. The amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets related to this acquisition totaled $753,000 in fiscal 2001. As the result of the July 1, 2001 adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (FAS 142), we ceased amortization of goodwill and accordingly recorded amortization of other intangible assets of $118,000 in fiscal 2002. The carrying value of the goodwill will be reviewed at least annually for impairment.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses include expenses related to sales, marketing, and administrative personnel; internal sales and outside sales representatives’ commissions; market research and consulting; and other marketing and sales activities. These expenses have generally increased, reflecting increased staffing, commission expense associated with higher revenue levels, and additional management personnel in anticipation of our continued growth in our existing markets and penetration into new markets. In October 2001, we began replacing outside sales representatives with inside sales personnel for certain customer accounts to facilitate a closer working relationship with those customers. We continue to utilize both inside sales personnel and outside sales representatives and agents. In fiscal 2002, we recorded $16,000 of amortization related to the June 1999 acquisition of the employees of a former Taiwanese sales agent. This compares to $103,000 and $31,000 of amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets in fiscal 2000 and fiscal 2001, respectively, which is now fully amortized.

In connection with the grant of stock options to our employees, we recorded deferred stock compensation of approximately $2.2 million through fiscal 2001, representing the difference between the deemed fair value of our common stock for financial reporting purposes and the exercise price of these options at the date of grant. Deferred stock compensation is presented as a reduction of stockholders’ equity and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Options granted are typically subject to a four-year vesting period. Restricted stock acquired through the exercise of unvested stock options is subject to our right to repurchase the unvested stock at the price paid, which right to repurchase lapses over the vesting period. We also recorded $303,000 of deferred compensation related to options granted to consultants through fiscal 2002. We are amortizing the deferred stock compensation over the vesting periods of the applicable options and the repurchase periods for the restricted stock. We recorded amortization of deferred stock compensation of approximately $82,000, $597,000, and $453,000 in fiscal 2000, 2001, and 2002, respectively. We will incur substantial expense in future periods as a result of the amortization of the remaining $1.1 million of deferred stock compensation relating to previously granted stock options.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from product sales when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and title has transferred, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. We accrue for estimated sales returns and other allowances at the time of recognition of revenue, which is typically upon shipment, based on historical experience. Contract revenue for research and development is recorded as earned based on the performance requirements of the contract. Non-refundable contract fees for which no further

performance obligations exist, and there is no continuing involvement by us, are recognized on the earlier of when the payments are received or when collection is assured.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to meet their financial obligations. On an on-going basis, we evaluate the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. In circumstances in which we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation, we record a specific reserve of the bad debt against amounts due. In addition, we must make judgments and estimates of the collectability of accounts receivables based on historical bad debt, customers’ credit worthiness, current economic trends, recent changes in customer payment trends, and deterioration in the customers’ operating results or financial position. If circumstances change adversely, additional allowances may be required.

Inventory

We are required to state our inventories at the lower of cost or market. Our assessment of the ultimate realization of inventories is based on our projections of future demand and market conditions. Any sudden decline in demand or rapid product improvements and technological changes, or both, can cause us to have excess or obsolete inventories. On an ongoing basis, we review for estimated obsolete or unmarketable inventories and write down our inventories to their net realizable value based upon our forecasts of future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than our forecasts, additional inventory reserves may be required. Our estimates are influenced by the following considerations: sudden decline in demand due to economic downturn, rapid product improvements and technological changes, and termination by our OEM customers of any product offerings incorporating our product solutions.

Warranty

We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. While we engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component suppliers, our warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage, and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage, or service delivery costs differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability may be required.

Fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 compared to fiscal year ended June 30, 2001

Net Revenue. Revenue for the year ended June 30, 2002 was $100.2 million compared to $73.7 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2001, a 36.0% increase. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the increase in unit shipments, higher revenue content per notebook from dual pointing solutions that include both a touch pad and a pointing stick, and non-recurring engineering and patent license fees of $1.1 million, partially offset by general competitive pricing pressure. Revenue from our dual pointing solutions represented approximately 47% of our revenue for the year ended June 30, 2002 compared to 41% for the year ended June 30, 2001.

Gross Margin. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 41.1% for the year ended June 30, 2002 compared to 31.1% for the year ended June 30, 2001. The improvement in gross margin as a percentage of revenue resulted from the implementation of cost-improvement programs, which reduced the cost of our dual pointing solutions through the combination of design and process improvements, lower outside assembly costs, generally lower costs for materials and electronic components, the introduction of our proprietary dual pointing solutions, and non-recurring engineering and patent license revenue in the amount of $1.1 million, partially offset by general competitive pricing pressure.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased 43.2% to $16.6 million, or 16.6% of revenue, for the year ended June 30, 2002 from $11.6 million, or 15.7% of revenue, for the year ended June 30, 2001. The major contributors to the increase in spending were higher compensation costs associated with increased staffing levels and higher product development related expenses, including outside services and materials costs.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2002 increased to $9.9 million, or 9.8% of revenue, from $9.1 million, or 12.4% of revenue, for the year ended June 30, 2001. The increase in actual spending resulted from increased staffing, including additions to our inside sales force, increased expenses related to our higher operating levels, and costs incurred related to our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with amendments to our initial public offering and periodic and quarterly filings, partially offset by lower sales commissions resulting from the replacement of outside sales representatives with inside sales personnel for certain customer accounts beginning in October 2001.

Amortization of Goodwill and Other Acquired Intangible Assets. The year ended June 30, 2001 reflected charges of $784,000 for the amortization of goodwill and other acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions. In connection with the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” on July 1, 2001, amortization of goodwill was terminated, which resulted in significantly lower amortization charges in the year ended June 30, 2002 compared to the year ended June 30, 2001. Amortization of other intangible assets continued in accordance with the previously determined useful economic lives, which resulted in total amortization charges of $134,000 in the year ended June 30, 2002. We access the impairment of goodwill annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable.

Amortization of Deferred Stock Compensation. The year ended June 30, 2002 includes amortization expense for deferred stock compensation of $453,000 compared to $597,000 for the year ended June 30, 2001. We expect to record amortization expense of $433,000 in fiscal 2003 with the remaining balance of $652,000 to be amortized through fiscal 2007.

Operating Income (Loss). We generated operating income of $14.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2002 compared to $810,000 for the year ended June 30, 2001. The major contributors to the improvement in operating income included the increased revenue levels, the higher gross margin percentage resulting from the implementation of our cost-improvement programs for our dual pointing solutions, lower assembly costs, lower materials and electronic components costs, non-recurring engineering and patent license revenue, lower sales commissions related to the replacement of outside sales representatives with inside direct sales personnel, and lower amortization expense for goodwill and other acquired intangible assets. These factors were partially offset by higher compensation costs, resulting from our increased staffing levels, higher research and development project costs, and costs incurred related to our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with amendments to our initial public offering and periodic and quarterly filings.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income was $325,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002 compared to $180,000 for the year ended June 30, 2001. The increase in net interest income primarily reflects the investment of the proceeds from our initial public offering, which closed on February 1, 2002, partially offset by the impact of lower interest rates on invested cash and higher interest expense associated with equipment lease financing arrangements.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the year ended June 30, 2002 was $5.1 million compared to $180,000 for the year ended June 30, 2001, reflecting the higher pre-tax profit levels. The income tax provision represents the estimated federal and state taxes and the foreign taxes associated with our operations in the United Kingdom and Taiwan. The effective tax rate for the year ended June 30, 2002 was approximately 35%, reflecting the benefit of research and development tax credits and a reduction in the valuation allowance, partially offset by nondeductible deferred compensation.

The effective tax rate for the year ended June 30, 2001 was 18% and was lower than the statutory rate of 35%, primarily due to the benefits of utilizing net operating loss carryforwards, which were fully utilized during fiscal 2001, and research and development tax credits. Tax benefits for fiscal 2001 were partially offset by nondeductible deferred compensation and goodwill amortization.

Fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 compared to fiscal year ended June 30, 2000

Net Revenue. Revenue was $73.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2001 compared to $43.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 69.6%. The increase in revenue was attributable to an increase in unit volume shipments, and higher average selling prices resulting from the inclusion of both a touch pad and pointing stick in our dual pointing solutions, which we began shipping in the June 2000 quarter. Revenue from our dual pointing solutions represented approximately 41% of our revenue for the year ended June 30, 2001.

Gross Margin. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 31.1% for the year ended June 30, 2001 compared to 41.0% for the year ended June 30, 2000. The decline in gross margin as a percentage of revenue resulted from sales of our dual pointing solutions, which during the year had significantly lower margins than our touch pad products as a result of the high content of third-party products, and higher costs for materials and components, which resulted from general market supply-demand imbalances during the year.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased to $11.6 million, or 15.7% of revenue, for the year ended June 30, 2001 from $8.4 million, or 19.3% of revenue, for the year ended June 30, 2000. Major contributors to the increase in spending included the ongoing development of the inductive pen-sensing technology acquired in connection with the acquisition of ASL in October 1999, additional staffing, and product development and related materials expense in our San Jose research and development organization.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased to $9.1 million, or 12.4% of revenue, for the year ended June 30, 2001 from $7.4 million, or 17.0% of revenue, for the year ended June 30, 2000. The $1.7 million increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses reflects non-cash stock compensation charges, increased staffing, and expenses related to our higher revenue and operating levels.

In-Process Research and Development. The year ended June 30, 2000 included a $855,000 charge for the write-off of in-process research and development associated with our October 1999 acquisition of ASL. In connection with the ASL acquisition, we acquired ASL’s primary technology, called Spiral. See “Purchased In-Process Research and Development.”

Amortization of Goodwill and Other Acquired Intangible Assets. The amortization of goodwill and other acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions resulted in total amortization expense of $784,000 in the year ended June 30, 2001 compared to $605,000 in the year ended June 30, 2000, reflecting the useful lives assigned to the intangible assets and the timing of the acquisition.

Amortization of Deferred Stock Compensation. The year ended June 30, 2001 included amortization of deferred stock compensation of $597,000 compared to $82,000 for the year ended June 30, 2000.

Operating Income (Loss). We generated operating income of $810,000 for the year ended June 30, 2001 compared to $460,000 for the year ended June 30, 2000. The increase in operating income primarily reflects the $5.1 million of additional gross margin resulting from the significant increase in revenue. This increase was partially offset by the lower gross margin percentage attributable to the high percentage of lower margin dual pointing products included in the revenue mix, incremental operating expenses associated with a larger operation, and higher materials and components costs resulting from general market supply-demand imbalances.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $180,000 for the year ended June 30, 2001 compared to $120,000 for the year ended June 30, 2000. The income tax provision for both years represents the federal and state taxes and the foreign taxes associated with our operations in the United Kingdom and Taiwan. The effective tax rate was 18% for fiscal 2001 compared to 15% for fiscal 2000. The effective rate for both years is lower than the statutory rate of 35%, primarily due to the benefits of utilizing net operating loss carryforwards, partially offset by nondeductible deferred compensation and goodwill amortization. Additionally, research and development tax credits reduced the tax provision in fiscal 2001. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2001 is higher than the effective tax rate for fiscal 2000 because the net operating loss carryforwards were fully utilized during fiscal 2001.

Equity Losses. During Fiscal 2000, we recorded equity losses of $2,712,000, representing our share of losses incurred by Foveon. The total amount of the equity losses recognized were determined on the basis of our ownership interest in Foveon’s convertible preferred shares and our proportionate share of new funds provided to Foveon in exchange for convertible promissory notes and have been limited to the maximum of our total investment. Accordingly, the carrying value of our investment in Foveon has been reduced to zero at the end of fiscal 2000.

Purchased In-Process Research and Development

Purchased in-process research and development, or IPRD, of $855,000 in fiscal 2000 represents the write-off of in-process inductive position sensing technology associated with our acquisition of ASL.

We used available information to calculate the amounts allocated to IPRD. In calculating IPRD, we used established valuation techniques accepted in the high-technology industry. These calculations gave consideration to relevant market sizes and growth factors, expected industry trends, the anticipated nature and timing of new product introductions by us and our competitors, individual product sales cycles, and the estimated lives of each of the products’ underlying technology. The value of the IPRD reflects the relative value and contribution of the acquired research and development. We used a discount rate of 30% to compute the net present value of the future cash flows for the purpose of determining the value attributed to IPRD. We also gave consideration to the IPRD’s stage of completion, which was estimated to be approximately 75% complete at the time of the acquisition, the complexity of the work completed to date, the difficulty completing the remaining development, costs already incurred, and the projected cost to complete the project in determining the value assigned to IPRD. At the time of the acquisition, the Spiral technology had not reached technological feasibility and the IPRD did not have alternative future uses. At the time of acquisition of ASL, the estimated cost to complete the project was estimated to be $6.0 million.

The value assigned to developed technologies related to the acquisition was based upon discounted cash flows related to the future products’ projected income streams. Elements of the projected income stream included revenue, cost of sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses, and research and development expenses. The discount rates used in the present value calculations were generally derived from a weighted average cost of capital, adjusted upward to reflect the additional risks inherent in the development life cycle, including the useful life of the technology, profitability levels of the technology, and the uncertainty of technology advances that were known at the date of the acquisition.

The overall valuation methodology assumed a core technology leverage factor of 15%, a projection of three-year revenue stream beginning fiscal 2001, and a discount factor of 30% to determine the present value of future cash flows.

Given the uncertainties of the commercialization process, no assurance can be given that deviations from our estimates will not occur. At the time of the ASL acquisition, we believed there was a reasonable chance of realizing the economic return expected from the acquired in-process technology. Although we have experienced delays in completing the development of IPRD, our assumptions to compute the value of IPRD have generally been

reasonable and consistent with our actual results. There can be no assurance, however, that any project will achieve commercial success because of the risk associated with the realization of benefits related to commercialization of an in-process project due to rapidly changing customer needs, the complexity of the technology, and growing competitive pressures. Failure to successfully commercialize an in-process project would result in the loss of the expected economic return inherent in the fair value allocation. Additionally, the value of our intangible assets acquired may become impaired.

We expect to continue the development of the Spiral technology and derivative commercial products and believe that there is a reasonable chance of successfully completing these development efforts. There is, however, risk associated with the completion of the in-process projects, and there can be no assurance that any project will achieve either technological or commercial success.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $65.2 million as of June 30, 2002 compared to $3.8 million as of June 30, 2001 and $6.5 million as of June 30, 2000. On February 1, 2002, we completed our initial public offering in which we sold 5.0 million shares of common stock at $11.00 per share, generating approximately $49.2 million of net proceeds, after the underwriters’ discount and offering expenses.

During the year ended June 30, 2002, net cash generated from operating activities was $12.8 million, primarily reflecting our net income of $9.4 million plus non-cash adjustments for depreciation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, deferred stock compensation, and lower working capital. We expect that accounts receivable and inventory will increase if our revenue continues to grow and that we will increase our investment in capital assets to expand our business. During fiscal 2001, net cash used in operating activities was $2.3 million, primarily reflecting increased working capital, excluding cash and capital lease and equipment financing obligations, of $5.2 million related to our higher operating levels, partially offset by non-cash adjustments for depreciation, amortization, and stock compensation of $2.5 million. During fiscal 2000, net cash used in operating activities was $40,000, reflecting our net loss of $2.0 million, offset by the combination of the following items: (1) adjustments for non-cash charges, including our proportionate share of equity losses in an affiliated company, Foveon, which totaled $2.7 million, a write-off of $855,000 of in-process research and development, $1.2 million of amortization and depreciation, and $137,000 of stock based compensation; and (2) increases in accounts receivable, inventories, and accounts payable of $3.7 million, $1.5 million, and $2.5 million, respectively, relating to our increased business activities.

Investing activities typically relate to purchases of government-backed securities and investment-grade fixed income instruments and capital assets, which totaled $20.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2002. Investing activities for years ended June 30, 2000 and 2001, typically related purchases of capital assets, which totaled $982,000 and $1.1 million, respectively. In addition, we advanced $2.7 million in fiscal 2000 in the form of convertible promissory notes to Foveon, an affiliated company, and invested $1.5 million in cash in the October 1999 acquisition of ASL, which together with the capital assets purchases referred to above resulted in total cash used in investing activities of $5.3 million in fiscal 2000. We also issued 652,025 shares of our common stock in connection with the acquisition of ASL. In connection with the May 1999 acquisition of the sales representative workforce of our former outside sales agent in Taiwan, we issued 37,500 shares of our common stock and were obligated to issue an additional 37,500 shares if certain covenants were fulfilled. In fiscal 2001, we issued the remaining 37,500 shares upon fulfillment of those covenants.

Financing activities for the year ended June 30, 2002 were primarily related to the sale of 5.0 million shares of our common stock at $11.00 per share in our initial public offering, which closed on February 1, 2002. For the three years prior to our initial public offering, our financing activities generally related to the proceeds obtained from the financing of capital assets, offset by the related repayments under those transactions, plus the proceeds from the exercise of vested stock options. Net cash provided by financing activities for the years ended June 30, 2000, 2001, and 2002 was $99,000, $536,000, and $49.8 million, respectively.

Our principal sources of liquidity as of June 30, 2002 consisted of $65.2 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments and a $4.2 million working capital line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank. The Silicon Valley Bank revolving line of credit was set to expire on August 29, 2002, had an interest rate equal to 0.5% above Silicon Valley Bank’s prime lending rate, and provides for a security interest in substantially all of our assets. We had not borrowed any amounts under the line of credit as of June 30, 2002. Subsequent to June 30, 2002, the terms of this revolving line of credit have been modified to extend the expiration date to October 31, 2002 and change the interest rate to equal Silicon Valley Bank’s prime lending rate. The long-term note payable to National

Semiconductor represents limited-recourse debt that is secured solely by a portion of our preferred stockholdings in Foveon, Inc., in which National Semiconductor is also an investor. We do not anticipate making any payments under the limited-recourse loan with National Semiconductor, either prior to or at maturity, unless Foveon is participating in a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering of its equity securities or a merger, through which we would be able to receive amounts in excess of our $1.5 million long-term note payable plus accrued interest expense.

We believe our existing cash balances will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements at least through the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending to support product development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing of introductions of new products and enhancements to existing products, the costs to ensure access to adequate manufacturing capacity, the continuing market acceptance of our product solutions, and the amount and timing of our investment in, or acquisition of, other technologies or companies. We cannot assure you that additional equity or debt financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (“FAS 144”). FAS 144 supercedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of (“FAS 121”). FAS 144 retains the requirements of Statement 121 to (a) recognize an impairment loss only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows and (b) measure an impairment loss as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. FAS 144 removes goodwill from its scope. FAS 144 is applicable to financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, which is in our fiscal year ending June 30, 2003. The adoption of FAS 144 is not expected to have any material adverse impact on our financial position or results of its operations.

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Cost Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (“FAS 146”). FAS 146 nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity.” FAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. FAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 and will be effective in our fiscal year ending June 30, 2003. The adoption of FAS 146 is not expected to have any material adverse impact on our financial position or results of its operations.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest rate risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. Due to the conservative nature of our investment portfolio, which is predicated on capital preservation and consisted primarily of government-backed securities and investment-grade instruments, we would

not expect our operating results or cash flows to be significantly affected by changes in market interest rates. We do not use our investment portfolio for trading or other speculative purposes.

The table below presents principal amounts and related weighted average interest rates by year of maturity for our investment portfolio and debt obligations as of June 30, 2002 (in thousands):

There have been no significant changes in the maturity dates and average interest rates for our investment portfolio and debt obligations subsequent to June 30, 2002.

Foreign currency exchange risk

All of our sales and our expenses, except those expenses related to our U.K. and Taiwan operations, are denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result, we have relatively little exposure to foreign currency exchange risks and foreign exchange losses have been immaterial to date. We do not currently enter into forward-exchange contracts to hedge exposure denominated in foreign currencies or any other derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In the future, if we feel that our foreign exchange exposure has increased, we may consider entering into hedging transactions to help mitigate that risk.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Synaptics Incorporated

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Synaptics Incorporated as of June 30, 2001 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2002. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Foveon, Inc., which statements reflect net losses of $13,807,000 for the year ended July 1, 2000. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the losses from the affiliated company under the equity method and other data included for Foveon, Inc., is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

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 and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Synaptics Incorporated at June 30, 2001 and 2002, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 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 financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Notes 1 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, in the year ended June 30, 2002 the Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill and other acquired intangible assets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Basis of Presentation

We were founded in March 1986. We develop intuitive user interface solutions for intelligent electronic devices and products. We started shipping our current core product, the TouchPad, in 1995. The TouchPad is incorporated into a number of notebook computer product lines by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and contract manufacturers and sold throughout the world.

The consolidated financial statements include our financial statements and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Our fiscal year ends on the last Saturday in June. For ease of presentation, the accompanying financial statements have been shown as ending on June 30, 2000, 2001, and 2002. The years ended June 30, 2000 and 2002 consisted of 52 weeks, and the year ended June 30, 2001 consisted of 53 weeks.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Short-term investments are held as securities available for sale and are carried at their market value as of the balance sheet date with approximated amortized cost. The amortized cost of securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization is included in investment income. Realized gains or losses are determined on the specific identification method and are reflected in income. Net unrealized gains or losses are recorded directly in stockholders’ equity except those unrealized losses that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in income. There have been no sales of short-term investments to date.


As of June 30, 2002:				Gross		Gross
		Amortized		Unrealized		Unrealized		Fair
		Cost		Gains		Losses		Value

Municipal securities		$	19,626	$	63	$	—	$	19,689

	Total available-for-sale securities	$	19,626	$	63		—	$	19,689

The following is a summary of amortized costs and estimated fair values of debt securities by contractual maturity at June 30, 2002 (in thousands):

SYNAPTICS INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The fair values of our cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of those instruments.

Concentration of Risk

We sell our products primarily to contract manufacturers that provide manufacturing services to notebook computer OEMs. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition, and we generally do not require collateral. To date, credit losses have been within our expectations, and we believe that an adequate allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided. One of the contract manufacturers for OEMs comprised 37% and 14% of our accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively. Another contract manufacturer for OEMs comprised 1% and 14% of our accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively. Another contract manufacturer for OEMs comprised 8% and 11% of the accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

Other Concentrations

Our products include certain components that are currently single sourced. We believe other vendors would be able to provide similar components; however, the qualification of such vendors may require start-up time. In order to mitigate any adverse impacts from a disruption of supply, we attempt to maintain an adequate supply of critical single-sourced components.

Revenue Recognition

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to meet their financial obligations. On an on-going basis, we evaluate the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. In circumstances in which we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation, we record a specific reserve of the bad debt against amounts due. In addition, we must make judgments and estimates of the collectability of accounts receivables based on historical bad debt, customers’ credit worthiness, current economic trends, recent changes in customer payment trends, and deterioration in the customers’ operation results or financial position.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market (estimated net realizable value) and consisted of the following (in thousands):


	June 30,		June 30,
	2001		2002

Raw materials and work-in-process	$	6,938	$	5,690




Finished goods		352		177

	$	7,290	$	5,867

SYNAPTICS INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets of three years or the lease term. Depreciation expense for years ending 2000, 2001, and 2002 was $642,000, $876,000 and $1,182,000, respectively. During the year ended June 30, 2001, we retired fully depreciated equipment and furniture at an original cost of $1,655,000. No such equipment and furniture was retired during the years ended 2000 and 2002.

Foreign Currency Translation

Our functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation.” Our monetary assets and liabilities not denominated in the functional currency are translated into U.S. dollar equivalents at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary balance sheet accounts are measured and recorded at the rate in effect at the date of translation. Revenue and expenses are translated at the weighted average exchange rate in the month that the transaction occurred. Remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities that are not denominated in the functional currency are included currently in operating results. Translation gains (losses) included in operating results for the years ended June 30, 2000, 2001 and 2002 totaled ($94,000), $29,000 and $25,000, respectively. To date we have not undertaken hedging transactions related to foreign currency exposure.

Goodwill and Other Acquired Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in business combinations over their estimated fair value. Other acquired intangible assets primarily represent core technology and patent rights. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“FAS 141” and “FAS 142”, respectively). FAS 141 supercedes APB Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations, and eliminates the pooling-of-interest method of accounting for business combinations. FAS also changes the criteria for recognizing intangible assets apart from goodwill and states the following criteria should be considered in determining the recognition of intangible assets: (1) the intangible asset arises from contractual or other rights, or (2) the intangible asset is separable or divisible from the acquired entity and capable of being sold, transferred, licensed, returned, or exchanged. We adopted FAS 141 effective July 1, 2001, the results of which are reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements effective for the year ended June 30, 2002. Adoption of FAS 141 on July 1, 2001 did not have any impact on our financial position or historical results of operations. However, certain intangible assets that did not meet the new criteria for recognition as a separate class of intangible assets have been reclassified as part of goodwill for all periods presented.

FAS 142 supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, Intangible Assets, and requires goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life to no longer be amortized; however, these assets must be reviewed at least annually for impairment. We had previously amortized goodwill over its estimated useful life of three years; however, pursuant to the adoption of FAS 142 on July 1, 2001, the goodwill is no longer amortized. We continue to amortize separately identifiable intangible assets with finite useful lives over periods ranging from two to three years and the adoption of FAS 142 had no impact on such identifiable intangible assets. In our opinion, no material impairment existed at June 30, 2002.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We evaluate long-lived assets, including goodwill and acquired intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable based on expected undiscounted cash flows attributable to that asset. The amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset.

Ownership Interest in Affiliated Company

Investment consists of an ownership interest in the form of convertible preferred stock in a privately held development stage company. We account for the investment under the equity method in accordance with APB 18

F-10

SYNAPTICS INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

and the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) topic D-68 and issues No. 98-13 and No. 99-10. We consider our ownership of preferred stock and advances made to the affiliated company in determining the amount of equity losses to be recognized (see Note 3).

Segment Information

We have adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, “Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” (“FAS 131”). We operate in one segment, the development, marketing, and sale of intuitive user interface solutions for intelligent electronic devices and products.

Stock-Based Compensation

As permitted by FAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” we applied APB25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations in accounting for our stock option plans and, accordingly, we do not recognize compensation expense for stock option grants with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant. We provide additional pro forma disclosures as required under FAS 123. (See Note 8 for pro forma disclosure of stock-based compensation pursuant to FAS 123).

Options granted to consultants and other non-employees are accounted for at fair value determined by using the Black-Scholes method in accordance with EITF Consensus No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or In Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.” These options are subject to periodic revaluation over their vesting term, if any. The assumptions used to value stock-based awards to consultants and non-employees are similar to those used for employees, except that a volatility of 0.8 was used

Warranty

Upon product shipment, we provide for estimated warranty costs to repair or replace products for a period of 12 months from the date of sale. To date, warranty costs have not been material.

Advertising Expense

All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The advertising costs for the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2002 were $322,000 and $190,000, respectively. Advertising costs for the year ended June 30, 2000 were insignificant.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income includes all changes in stockholders’ equity during a period, except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Other comprehensive income (loss) comprises unrealized gains and losses, on available-for-sale securities, which have been insignificant through June 30, 2001. At June 30, 2002, accumulated other comprehensive income amounted to $63,000.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when differences are expected to reverse.

Research and Development

Costs to develop our products, which include the costs incurred to design interface solutions for customers prior to the customers incorporating those solutions into their products, are expensed as incurred in accordance with FAS 2 “Accounting for Research and Development Costs,” which establishes accounting and reporting standards for research and development costs.

F-11

SYNAPTICS INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

We account for software development costs in accordance with FAS 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed,” which requires capitalization of certain software development costs once technological feasibility for the software component is established, and research and development activities for the hardware component are completed. Based on our development process, the time period between the establishment of technological feasibility and completion of the hardware component and the release of the product is short and capitalization of internal development costs has not been material to date.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share amounts are presented in conformity with the FAS 128, “Earning Per Share,” for all periods presented. In accordance with FAS 128, basic and diluted net loss per share amounts and basic net income per share amounts have been computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period, less shares subject to repurchase. Diluted net income per share amounts also includes the effect of potentially dilutive securities, including stock options, warrants, and convertible preferred stock, when dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (“FAS 144”). FAS 144 supercedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of (“FAS 121”). FAS 144 retains the requirements of FAS 121 to (a) recognize an impairment loss only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows and (b) measure an impairment loss as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. FAS 144 removes goodwill from its scope. FAS 144 is applicable to financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, which in our case is our fiscal year ending June 30, 2003. The adoption of FAS 144 is not expected to have any material adverse impact on our financial position or results of our operations.

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Cost Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (“FAS 146”). FAS 146 nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Consensus No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity.” FAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. FAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 and will be effective in our fiscal year ending June 30, 2003. The adoption of FAS 146 is not expected to have any material adverse impact on our financial position or results of its operations.

2. Completion of Initial Public Offering

On February 1, 2002, we completed an initial public offering of 5,000,000 shares of common stock, resulting in net proceeds, after the underwriters’ discount and offering expenses, of $49.2 million. The underwriters purchased an additional 750,000 shares of common stock from certain selling stockholders from which we did not receive any proceeds. In connection with the initial public offering, we completed a change-of-domicile merger in which we were reincorporated in Delaware; our authorized capital was increased to 60,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of $.001 per share; each share of common stock, no par value, was converted into one share of common stock, $.001 par value; and all of the preferred stock, including the net exercise of warrants, was converted into 11,099,415 shares of common stock.

3. Ownership Interest in Affiliated Company and Note Payable to Related Party

During the year ended June 30, 1998, we entered into agreements with National Semiconductor Corporation (“National”), a related party, with respect to the formation of a development stage company, Foveonics, Inc. (now known as Foveon, Inc.), which was formed to develop and produce digital imaging products. We contributed technology for which we had no accounting basis for a 30% interest in Foveon in the form of voting convertible preferred stock. Under the agreements, we had the right to acquire additional shares of convertible preferred stock at a specified price in exchange for a limited-recourse loan from National. National loaned us $1,500,000 under a limited-recourse note, which we utilized to purchase additional preferred shares of Foveon, which increased our ownership interest in Foveon to 43%. The note matures in 2007 and bears interest at 6.0% per annum. If the note and related accrued interest are not repaid, National’s sole remedy under the loan is to require us to return to National a portion of Foveon shares purchased with the proceeds of the loan and held by us.

During the year ended June 30, 1998, we recorded our share of losses incurred by Foveon under the equity accounting method on the basis of our proportionate ownership of voting convertible preferred stock and reduced the carrying value of this equity investment to nil as our share of losses incurred by Foveon exceeded the carrying value of the investment. No equity losses were recorded during the year ended June 30, 1999 as we did not have any carrying value associated with the investment.

During the year ended June 30, 2000, we advanced to Foveon a total of $2,712,000 in return for convertible promissory notes. The notes were convertible into shares of Foveon preferred stock in accordance with the defined terms, had a term of ten years, and bore interest at rates ranging from 6.5% to 6.85%, payable at maturity. During the year ended June 30, 2000, we recorded our share of losses incurred by Foveon on the basis of our proportionate share of funding provided to Foveon by us and National and accordingly recorded additional equity losses limited to the then maximum carrying value of our total investment, which was $2,712,000, including the ownership of convertible debt securities issued by Foveon. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2000, 2001, and 2002, the carrying value of our investment in Foveon had been reduced to nil as our share of losses incurred by Foveon exceeded the carrying value of the investment. We are not obligated to provide additional funding to Foveon.

In August 2000, the convertible promissory notes we held and related accrued interest were automatically converted into 443,965 shares of Foveon preferred stock in connection with an equity financing completed by Foveon.

In connection with the issuance of the convertible promissory notes, we also received warrants to purchase 106,718 shares of Foveon Series B preferred stock and warrants to purchase 22,918 shares of Foveon Series C preferred stock at exercise prices of $5.88 and $6.76 per share, respectively. The preferred shares are convertible into common shares upon a firm underwritten public offering of Foveon common stock for proceeds of at least $20 million and a pre-offering market capitalization of at least $225 million. The voting rights of preferred stock were restricted as to the election of board of directors and certain protective provisions with respect to the sale of Foveon or substantially all the assets of Foveon. The preferred stockholders also have the right of first refusal in connection with the purchase of new securities to be offered by Foveon.

4. Acquisitions

Acquisition of Sales Representative Workforce

In May 1999, our Board of Directors approved the establishment of a branch in Taiwan. On June 1, 1999, we entered into an employee transfer agreement with an outside sales agent ( the “agent”) to transfer certain of the agent’s employees to a subsidiary of ours. In consideration for the transfer of the assembled workforce, we entered into a restricted stock purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with the agent.

The Agreement required us to issue 37,500 fully paid shares of common stock to the agent on the closing date of the agreement and also required us to place an additional 37,500 shares in escrow. The escrow shares were released to the agent in December 2001 since the agent had fulfilled the covenant not to solicit any employee or consultant for two years from the transfer of the agent’s employees to us. We recorded the acquisition of assembled sales representative workforce as an intangible asset in the amount of $150,000, representing the fair value of the total stock-based consideration, which was amortized on a straight-line basis over 30 months.

Acquisition of Absolute Sensors Limited

On October 26, 1999, we completed the acquisition of Absolute Sensors Limited (ASL), now known as Synaptics (UK) Limited. ASL, a United Kingdom-based company, is a developer of inductive sensing technology. We acquired all of the outstanding shares and certain assets of ASL in exchange for approximately $1,450,000 in cash and 652,025 shares of our common stock. The total purchase price of ASL, including acquisition-related costs of approximately $232,000, was $3,103,000. We allocated the total purchase price based on available information with respect to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows (in thousands):


Acquired core technology	$	201




Acquired in-process research and development		855




Acquired workforce		160




Purchased patents		154




Goodwill		1,663




Net book value of acquired assets and liabilities, which approximates fair value		70

Total purchase price	$	3,103

(See Note 1 and the table below for the impact of the adoption of FAS 141 and FAS 142.)

The purchase price allocation performed by us resulted in a $855,000 in-process research and development charge related to the value of ASL’s 3D position-sensing technology. The value of acquired in-process research and development represents the appraised value of technology in the development stage that had not yet reached economic and technological feasibility. In reaching this determination, we used a present value income approach and considered, among other factors, the stage of development of each product, the time and resources needed to completed each product, and expected income and associated risks. The stage of completion was determined by estimated in the costs and time incurred and the milestones completed to date relative to the time and costs incurred to develop the in-process technology into a commercially viable technology or product. The estimated net present

value of cash flows was based on incremental future cash flows from revenue expected to be generated by the technology or product being developed. The core technology, goodwill, and other intangibles are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods from two to three years, the estimated useful lives of these acquired assets. Pursuant to the adoption of FAS 142, goodwill and other intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are no longer amortized. In addition, acquired workforce does not meet the criteria for separate recognition under FAS 142 and therefore is now combined with goodwill (see Note 1).

Under the agreement, we were obligated to issue an aggregate of up to an additional 200,000 shares of our common stock to ASL shareholders as additional purchase consideration if the sale of our products incorporating ASL technology reached a certain defined volume within a period of 24 months after the acquisition. In November 2001 the additional shares held in escrow were canceled, as we did not sell any products incorporating ASL technology through the expiration of the 24 month-period in October 2001.

This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the results of operations of ASL subsequent to October 26, 1999 are included in our consolidated statements of operations. Unaudited pro forma net loss of $2,140,000 ($0.39 per share) for the year ended June 30, 2000 represents the net loss as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the year and includes the amortization of goodwill and other acquired intangible assets but excludes the charge for acquired in-process research and development, as it is nonrecurring. ASL did not generate any revenue from external customers during these periods, and accordingly, pro forma revenue has not been disclosed separately.

We lease our domestic facility under an operating lease that expires on May 31, 2005. We lease our UK facility under an operating lease that expires on May 3, 2007. Total rent expense, recognized on a straight-line basis, was approximately $583,000, $708,000 and $725,000 for the years ended June 30, 2000, 2001, and 2002, respectively.

Equipment Financing Obligations

Through June 30, 2002 we purchased a total of $618,000 of equipment under an equipment financing line. At June 30, 2001 and 2002, the outstanding balance under this line was approximately $184,000 and $21,000, respectively. Obligations under this facility bear interest at rates ranging from between 7.79% and 8.89% per year and are payable monthly through September 2002 and are subject to certain financial covenants. Assets acquired under this arrangement secure the related obligations.

We entered into a $750,000 equipment financing line agreement during the year ended June 30, 2001. At June 30, 2002, the outstanding balance under this line approximated $486,000. Obligations under this facility bear interest at rates ranging between 5.80% and 7.60% per year, are payable monthly through September 2004, and are subject to certain financial covenants. Assets acquired under this arrangement secure the related obligations.

Line of Credit

In August 2001, we entered into a $4.2 million revolving line of credit (“line of credit”) with a bank. This revolving line of credit was set to expire on August 29, 2002, had an interest rate equal to 0.5% above prime lending rate, and provides for a security interest in substantially all our assets. Borrowings under this line of credit are subject to certain financial and non-financial covenants, and are limited to 75% of qualifying account receivables as defined in the agreement with the bank. This line of credit places restrictions on the payment of any dividends. As of June 30, 2002, we had not borrowed any amounts under this facility. Subsequent to June 30, 2002, the terms of this revolving line of credit have been modified to extend the expiration date to October 31, 2002 and change the interest rate to equal Silicon Valley Bank’s prime lending rate.

All preferred stock was converted into 11,073,517 shares of common stock upon the closing of our initial public offering, and accordingly we did not have convertible preferred stock outstanding as of June 30, 2002.

Preferred Stock

We authorized, subject to limitations imposed by Delaware law, to issue up to a total of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, without stockholder approval. The Board of Directors is authorized to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series, and to fix the rights, preferences and privileges of the shares of each wholly unissued series and any of its qualifications, limitations or restrictions. The Board of Directors can also increase or decrease the number of shares of a series, but not below the number of shares of that series then outstanding, without any further vote or action by the stockholders.

The Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could harm the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of control of Synaptics and might harm the market price of its common stock and the voting power and other rights of the holders of common stock. We have no current plans to issue any shares of preferred stock. As of June 30, 2002, there were no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

Stock-Based Compensation

During 1986, 1996, 2000, and 2001, we adopted stock option plans (the “Plans”) under which employees and directors may be granted incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options to purchase up to a total of 7,650,000 shares of the our common stock at not less than 100% or 85% of the fair value, respectively, on the date of grant as determined by the Board of Directors.

Options issued under the Plans generally vest 25% at the end of 12 months from the vesting commencement date and approximately 2% each month thereafter or 100% at the end of 48 months from the vesting commencement date. Options not exercised ten years after the date of grant are canceled.

The 1986 Stock Option Plan expired by its terms with respect to any future option grants effective November 1996. At June 30, 2002, all shares available for issuance were pursuant to the 1996 Stock Option Plan, the 2000 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan, and the 2001 Incentive Compensation Plan.

During the year ended June 30, 2000, we issued 31,835 shares of common stock to vendors and consultants in exchange for services rendered. The fair value of $55,000 assigned to the shares was based on our estimate of the fair value of the common stock. The fair value of such shares was amortized over the period in which the services were rendered. No shares of common stock were issued to vendors or consultants during the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2002.

During the years ended June 30, 2000 and 2001, we granted options for the purchase of 52,500 and 17,000 shares of common stock, respectively, to consultants and advisors in consideration for services, at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. These options became vested and exercisable upon achievement of predetermined milestones and accordingly were subject to periodic re-measurement over the vesting period of six months. We recorded deferred stock compensation of approximately $135,000 and $168,000 for the years ended June 30, 2000 and 2001, respectively, representing the fair value of stock options on the respective grant dates, which was computed on the basis of Black-Scholes methodology using the valuation inputs similar to those used for employees except for the use of contractual life of the options instead of expected life. We recorded compensation expense of approximately $80,000 and $223,000 for the years ended June 30, 2000 and 2001, respectively, related to the amortization of deferred compensation for these options. These options became fully vested during the year ended June 30, 2001.

We also recorded compensation charges of $202,000 for the year ended June 30, 2001 in connection with the modification of terms of stock options granted to certain employees, which modification related to the acceleration of vesting upon termination of employment and exercisability of the option for the aggregate number of 73,750 shares. The compensation expense was computed on the basis of intrinsic value representing the difference between the option exercise price and the deemed fair value of underlying common stock on the respective date of modification of terms. The underlying options had exercise prices ranging from $2.00 to $2.50 per share. As of June 30, 2001, all of the options were fully vested and had been exercised.

The following table summarized option activity for the years ended June 30, 2000, 2001, and 2002:

At June 30, 2001, 956,138 shares were exercisable at a weighted average exercise price of $1.66.

We have elected to follow APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for our employee stock options because, as discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for under FAS 123 requires use of option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. When the exercise price of our employee stock options equals the fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

Pro forma information regarding net income (loss) has been determined as if we had accounted for our employee stock options under the fair value method of FAS 123 during the years ended June 30, 2000, 2001, and 2002. The fair value of options granted in 2002 was determined based on estimated stock price volatility. Options granted prior to 2002 were determined based on the minimum value method. The weighted average assumptions used to determine fair value were as follows:


	Options									ESPP

	Years Ended June 30,									Years Ended June 30,

	2000			2001			2002			2000		2001		2002

Had compensation cost for our stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans consistent with the method of FAS 123, pro forma income (loss) would be as follows:

Deferred Compensation

We recorded deferred stock compensation of $85,000 and $1,940,000 during the years ended June 30, 2000 and 2001, respectively, representing the aggregate difference between the exercise prices of options granted to employees and the deemed fair values for common stock subject to the options as of the respective measurement dates. These amounts are being amortized by charges to operations, on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods of the individual stock options. During the years ended June 30, 2000, 2001 and 2002, we recorded $2,000, $374,000, and $453,000, respectively, of amortization expense related to deferred stock compensation. Also during year ended June 30, 2002, we recorded a reversal of $111,000 of deferred stock compensation and amortization expense for terminated employees.

Warrants

In connection with certain financing transactions during 1995, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of warrants to purchase 32,000 shares of the Company’s Series E preferred stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. The grant date fair value of the warrants for financial reporting purposes was determined to be immaterial. During 2002 the warrant was exercised for a net of 25,898 shares.

Shares Reserved for Future Issuance

We have reserved shares of common stock for future issuance as follows:


	June 30,
	2002

Stock options outstanding		4,506,252




Stock options, available for grant		364,156

Total		4,870,408

9. Notes Receivable from Stockholders

During the years ended June 30, 1999 and 2000, we received $493,000 and $300,000, respectively, of full-recourse notes receivable from certain employees, which notes bear interest at rates ranging from 4.5% to 6.1%, in consideration for stock issued upon the exercise of stock options. During the year ended June 30, 2001, we received $200,000 of full-recourse and $73,000 of non-recourse notes receivable from certain employees in consideration for stock issued upon the exercise of stock options. These notes bear interest rates ranging from 6.1% to 6.3%. The notes and accrued interest, which are compounded semiannually, become due over the period from December 2002 to October 2009 or upon termination of employment, whichever is earlier. As of June 30, 2001 and 2002, the

F-23

SYNAPTICS INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

principal amounts outstanding amounted to $906,000 and $876,000, respectively. The non-recourse notes receivable were issued in connection with fully vested and exercisable stock options. We recorded compensation expense of approximately $109,000 computed on the basis of the intrinsic value of the options on the date of the exercise of the stock options and issuance of the notes (see Note 8).

10. Employee benefit plans

401(k) Plan

We have a 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan for full-time employees (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, eligible employees may contribute a maximum of 25% of their net compensation or the annual limit of $11,000. The annual limit for employees who are 50 years or older is $12,000. We do not provide any matching funds.

2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

We adopted the 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”) in February 2001. The Purchase Plan became effective on January 29, 2002, the effective date of the registration statement for the initial public offering. The Purchase Plan allows employees to designate up to 15% of their total compensation, subject to legal restrictions and limitations, to purchase shares of common stock at 85% of fair market value. We reserved 1,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Purchase Plan.

Realization of deferred tax assets depends on our generating sufficient taxable income in future years to obtain benefit from the reversal of temporary differences. At June 30, 2002, a valuation allowance of $1,388,000 has been reserved against part of our deferred tax assets due to uncertainty regarding their realization. The valuation allowance increased (decreased) by $700,000, ($800,000) and $2,046,000 during 2000, 2001, and 2002, respectively.

(All information as of and for the periods ended

(1) Description of Business

Foveon, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in California on July 9, 1997 and reported its financial results for fiscal years ending on the first Friday in July through its fiscal year ended July 1, 2000. During fiscal 2001, the Company changed its fiscal year-end to June 30th. The Company’s business consisted of developing and manufacturing digital camera systems. In late fiscal 2001, the Company changed its development focus from producing digital camera systems to marketing the imagers and imaging subsystems to customers. In fiscal 2002, the Company continued to make a limited number of sales of digital camera systems, primarily to existing customers. Years ending in June or July of a particular year are referred to herein as fiscal years (for example, the year ended June 30, 2002 is referred to as fiscal 2002). As of June 30, 2002, the Company is in the development stage with primary activities to date including customer demonstrations and limited sales, raising capital, performing research and development activities, producing prototypes, developing strategic alliances, and identifying markets. Revenue related to its planned principal operations of selling imagers and imaging subsystems have not yet commenced

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

	*(a)*		*Revenue Recognition*

			To date, revenue has been derived from sale of digital camera systems. Contracts from the sale of digital camera systems are multiple element arrangements with a combination of camera hardware, computer hardware and software, and software support services. As a result, revenue is recognized in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, and SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, with Respect to Certain Arrangements.

			SOP 97-2 generally requires revenue earned on arrangements involving software products and services to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair values of the elements. The fair value of the elements must be based on vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair values of the elements. Revenue for each element is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable.

			Due to the early stage of the product, the sale of digital camera systems in fiscal 2000 involved installation and demonstration obligations performed by the Company subsequent to the delivery of the systems to the customer. After customer acceptance of the delivered hardware and software products has been received, the only remaining obligation to the customer was post-contract customer support.

			Vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair value of the individual elements of the Company’s fiscal 2000 sales arrangements does not exist. Since essentially all the costs of the arrangement were incurred upon delivery of the hardware and software products, the costs of sales related to those items were recorded upon the later of payment or acceptance by the customer, and an equal amount of revenue was recognized at that time. The entire gross margin was deferred and is being recognized ratably over the term of the support arrangement (one to three years).

			During fiscal 2001, the Company developed sufficient experience in marketing its systems such that the installation and demonstration obligations became incidental and collectibility is assured upon shipment. In addition, the Company discontinued offering substantial post-contract customer support. As a result, the Company began recognizing all revenue upon shipment during fiscal 2001.

June 30, 2002 and 2001 and July 1, 2000
(All information as of and for the periods ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001 is unaudited)

	*(b)*		*Use of Estimates*

			The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

	*(c)*		*Cash and Cash Equivalents*

			The Company considers all highly liquid investments with remaining maturities at the date of purchase of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2002 and 2001, cash equivalents consisted of money market funds in the amounts of $36,222,725 and $9,713,092, respectively.

	*(d)*		*Inventories*

			Inventories are stated at the lower of weighted-average cost or market.

	*(e)*		*Property and Equipment*

			Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three years. Leasehold improvements are amortized straight line over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Amortization of assets recorded under capital lease agreements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

	*(f)*		*Income Taxes*

			Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. 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. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

	*(g)*		*Concentrations of Credit Risk*

			Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintained 100% and 99% as of June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, of its cash and cash equivalents with one financial institution. Management believes the financial risks associated with these financial instruments are minimal.

	*(h)*		*Research and Development Costs*

			Development costs incurred in the research and development of new software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility in the form of a working model has been established. Under this policy, no software development costs have been capitalized to date.

	*(i)*		*Stock-Based Compensation*

			The Company accounts for its stock-based employee compensation plans using the intrinsic-value method. Deferred stock-based compensation expense is recorded if, on the date of grant, the fair value

			of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. Options granted to nonemployees are accounted for at fair value pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and EITF Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services. The Company discloses the pro forma effect of using the fair-value method of accounting for all stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with SFAS No. 123.

	*(j)*		*Impairment of Long-Lived Assets*

			The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

	*(k)*		*Comprehensive Income*

			To date, the Company has not experienced any material elements of other comprehensive income. As a result, net loss is equal to comprehensive loss for all periods presented.

	*(l)*		*Advertising Costs*

			The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. These amounts are included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying financial statements. Advertising expense was $-0-, $86,607, $60,801, and $170,759 for the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, July 1, 2000, and the period from July 9, 1997 (inception) to June 30, 2002, respectively.

	*(m)*		*Recently Issued Accounting Standards*

			In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 provides guidance on the accounting for a business combination at the date a business combination is completed. The statement requires the use of the purchase method of accounting for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, thereby eliminating use of the pooling-of-interests method. The Company adopted SFAS No. 141 on July 1, 2001. The adoption did not have an effect on the financial statements. SFAS No. 142 provides guidance on how to account for goodwill and intangible assets after an acquisition is completed. The most substantive change is that goodwill will no longer be amortized but instead will be tested for impairment periodically. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 as of the beginning of fiscal 2002 and the effect of adoption did not have an effect on the financial statements.

			In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The Company is currently analyzing this statement and has not yet determined its impact on the financial statements. This Statement will be effective for fiscal 2003.

			In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which replaces SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. Although SFAS No. 144 retains the basic requirements of SFAS No. 121 regarding when and how to measure an impairment loss, it provides additional implementation guidance. SFAS No. 144 also supersedes the

Separate reporting of a discontinued operation is still required, but SFAS No. 144 expands the presentation to include a component of an entity, rather than strictly a business segment. The Company is currently analyzing this statement and has not yet determined its impact on the financial statements. This statement will be effective for fiscal 2003.

			In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, 64, Amendment of FASB No. 13, and Technical Corrections’. Among other provisions, SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt’. Accordingly, gains or losses from extinguishment of debt shall not be reported as extraordinary items unless the extinguishment qualifies as an extraordinary item under the criteria of APB No. 30. Gains or losses from extinguishment of debt that do not meet the criteria of APB No. 30 should be reclassified to income from continuing operations in all prior periods presented. This statement will be effective for fiscal 2003. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 145 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

			In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. This Statement requires recording costs associated with exit or disposal activities at their fair values when a liability has been incurred. Under previous guidance, certain exit costs were accrued upon management’s commitment to an exit plan, which is generally before an actual liability has been incurred. The requirements of this Statement are effective prospectively for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002; however, early application of the Statement is encouraged. The Company’s adoption of Statement 146 will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

(6) Convertible Preferred Stock and Shareholders’ Deficit

	*(a)*		*Convertible Preferred Stock*

			Rights, preferences, and privileges of the holders of Series A, B, C, and D preferred stock are as follows:


		•		Dividends – The holders of the Series A, B, C, and D preferred stock are entitled to receive noncumulative dividends at the rate of $0.11, $0.59, $0.54, and $0.78 per share per annum, respectively. Dividends are payable when and if declared by the board of directors in preference and priority to any payment of dividends to holders of common stock.









		•		Liquidation Preference – In the event of any liquidation or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Series A, B, C, and D preferred stock are entitled to receive a liquidation preference of $1.09375, $5.88235, $6.763219, and $7.81 per share, respectively, plus all declared but unpaid dividends over holders of common stock. After payment has been made to the holders of all preferred stock of the full preferential amounts to which they shall be entitled, the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to shareholders shall be distributed among the holders of Series A, B, C, and D preferred stock and the common stock pro rata based on the number of shares of common stock held by each assuming conversion of all Series A, B, C, and D preferred shares until the holders of Series A, B, C, and D preferred stock have received an aggregate of $3.28125, $17.64705, $20.289, $23.43 per share, respectively. A change in control of the Company is considered to be a liquidation event that entitles the holders of preferred stock to receive their liquidation preference from any proceeds.

		•		Conversion – The holders of the Series A, B, C, and D preferred stock have the right to convert the Series A, B, C, and D preferred stock, at any time, into shares of common stock. The initial conversion rate shall be 1:1 subject to adjustment for common stock dividends, combinations or splits and certain subsequent issuances of common or preferred stock for consideration per share less than $7.81.









		•		Automatic Conversion – The Series A, B, C, and D preferred stock shall be automatically converted into common stock at the then effective conversion price (i) in the event that the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding Series A, B, C, and D preferred stock, voting together as a class, consent to such conversion; or (ii) upon the closing of an underwritten public offering of shares of common stock of the Company at an aggregate offering price of not less than $20,000,000 and an aggregate pre-offering market capitalization of at least $225,000,000.









		•		Voting Rights – The holders of Series A, B, C, and D preferred stock vote equally with shares of common stock on an “as-if-converted” basis.

			No dividends have been declared or paid on preferred stock or common stock since inception of the Company.

	*(b)*		*Warrants*

			In conjunction with the issuance of Series A preferred stock, the Company issued for $1,700 in cash a warrant to purchase 1,700,000 shares of Series B preferred stock at an exercise price of $5.88 a share, expiring 10 years from the date of issuance. In July 1998, the warrant holder exercised a portion of the warrant to purchase 514,047 shares of Series B preferred stock. In August 2000, the warrant holder exercised the remainder of the warrant to purchase 1,185,953 shares of Series B preferred stock.

			In connection with equipment financing in April 1999, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock at a price of $6.00 per share, exercisable at any time prior to April 2009. The fair value of the warrant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free rate of 5%; contractual life of 10 years; no dividends; and 80% expected volatility. The proceeds assigned to the warrant were insignificant, and consequently, no debt discount was recorded. As of June 30, 2002, all of these warrants remained outstanding.

			In conjunction with the issuance of an aggregate of $6,287,500 of convertible subordinated notes payable to National Semiconductor Corporation (National) in fiscal 2000, the Company issued warrants to purchase 168,683 shares of Series B preferred stock at $5.88 per share and warrants to purchase 95,368 shares of Series C preferred stock at $6.76 per share. These warrants are exercisable at any time prior to the end of their five year contractual life. The proceeds from the issuances of the convertible subordinated notes and warrants were assigned to the warrants and notes payable based on their relative fair values. The fair values of the warrants were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rates ranging from 5.97% to 6.19%; contractual lives of five years; no dividends; and 80% expected volatility. Using these assumptions, the proceeds assigned to the warrants were $1,119,087 with a corresponding amount recorded as a debt discount to be amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the loan. As of June 30, 2002, all these warrants remained outstanding.

			In August 2000, the convertible subordinated notes held by National were converted into shares of Series B and C preferred stock. At the time of conversion, the carrying value of the loans was reclassified to convertible preferred stock.

			Restrictions on the exercise apply such that National can only exercise these warrants to the extent that the number of shares of Series B and C preferred stock to be obtained, when added to all other shares

			of the Company’s common and preferred stock held by National, do not represent more than 47.5% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company on the date of exercise.

			Notwithstanding the provisions above, National may exercise all of its outstanding warrants upon any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation, or merger of the Company in which the shareholders immediately prior to such merger or consolidation do not retain, directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the beneficial interest in the voting stock of the surviving entity, or transfer all of the assets of the Company.

			In conjunction with the issuance of an aggregate $2,712,500 of convertible subordinated notes payable to Synaptics Inc. (Synaptics) in fiscal 2000, the Company issued warrants to purchase 106,718 shares of Series B preferred stock at $5.88 per share and warrants to purchase 22,918 shares of Series C preferred stock at $6.76 per share. These warrants are exercisable at any time prior to end of their five year contractual life. The proceeds from the issuances of the convertible subordinated notes and warrants were assigned to the warrants and notes payable based on their relative fair values. The fair values of the warrants were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rates ranging from 5.97% to 6.19%; contractual lives of five years; no dividends; and 80% expected volatility. Using these assumptions the proceeds assigned to the warrants were $534,830 with a corresponding amount recorded as a debt discount to be amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the life of the loan. In August 2000, the convertible subordinated notes held by Synaptics were converted into shares of Series B and C preferred stock. At the time of conversion, the carrying value of the loans was reclassified to redeemable convertible preferred stock. As of June 30, 2002, all these warrants remained outstanding.

(7) 1997 Stock Plan

		The Company adopted a stock plan in July 1997 (the 1997 Plan) that provides for the issuance of incentive and nonstatutory options to purchase shares of common stock and rights to purchase restricted common stock. As of June 30, 2002 and 2001, a cumulative total of 3,900,000 and 3,200,000 shares of common stock, respectively, had been reserved for issuance under the 1997 Plan. Nonstatutory stock options may be granted to employees and consultants and incentive stock options to employees. Options have a term no greater than 10 years and generally vest 25% at the end of the first year and at a rate of 1/48 per month thereafter.

		Nonstatutory options are exercisable at a price not less than 85% of the fair value of the stock at the date of grant, as determined by the Company’s board of directors, unless they are granted to an individual who owns greater than 10% of the voting rights of all classes of stock, in which case the exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the fair value. Incentive stock options are exercisable at a price no less than 100% of fair value of the stock at the date of grant, as determined by the Company’s board of directors, except when they are granted to an employee who owns greater than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock, in which case they are exercisable at a price not less than 110% of fair value.

		Under the terms of the 1997 Plan, employees may be granted rights to purchase restricted common stock and exercise unvested options. The Company’s repurchase rights with respect to restricted common stock lapse in accordance with the option-vesting schedule described above. Upon termination of service, an employee’s or nonemployee’s unvested shares may be repurchased by the Company at the original purchase price. As of June 30, 2002 and 2001, 185,522 and 262,294 shares of outstanding restricted common stock, respectively, were subject to repurchase by the Company.

		Under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, the Company has recorded no compensation costs related to its stock-based awards to employees for the period from July 9, 1997 (inception) to June 30, 2002, because the exercise price of each option equals or exceeds the fair value of the underlying common stock as of the grant date for each stock option. Had compensation cost for the Company’s employee stock

		awards been determined consistent with the fair value approach prescribed in SFAS No. 123, the Company’s pro forma net loss for the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and July 1, 2000 would have been $14,134,653, $13,632,038, and $13,819,462, respectively, and for the period from July 9, 1997 (inception) to June 30, 2002 would have been $54,309,775.

		The fair values of employee stock options granted were estimated on the date of grant using the minimum value method. The following weighted average assumptions were used in this calculation: risk-free interest rate between 4.17% and 6.37%; expected life of 4.5 years; no dividends; and expected volatility of 0%.

		The weighted average fair value of employee options granted for the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and July 1, 2000 was $0.12, $0.14, and $0.10, respectively.

		The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding under the 1997 Plan as of June 30, 2002:

(9) Income Taxes

Income tax expense differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% to pretax loss as a result of the following:

Nondeductible expenses			139,486			91,694			92,475			1,051,397

	Total tax expense	$	—			—			—			—

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2002 and 2001 are presented below:


			2002		2001

Deferred tax assets:




	Research and other tax credit carryforwards		$	1,603,000		1,080,000




	Start-up expenditures			844,000		1,063,000




	Net operating loss carryforwards			17,674,000		12,712,000




	Others			583,000		611,000

		Gross deferred tax assets before valuation allowance		20,704,000		15,466,000




	Less valuation allowance			20,704,000		15,466,000

		Net deferred taxes	$	—		—

		In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the Company’s ability to realize such deferred tax assets, a full valuation allowance has been established.

		As of June 30, 2002, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $46,403,000 and $32,512,000 for federal and California income tax purposes, respectively. The federal and California net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in fiscal 2018 and 2006, respectively. As of June 30, 2002, the Company has research and experimental tax credit carryforwards for federal and California purposes of approximately $1,097,000 and $756,000, respectively. The federal research and experimental credit carryforwards expire in fiscal 2022. The California research and experimental credit can be carried forward indefinitely.

		Federal and state tax laws impose significant restrictions on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in the event of a change in ownership of the Company which constitutes an “ownership change,” as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, Section 382. The Company has not determined whether such an “ownership change” has occurred which could limit the availability of the net operating losses and tax credits.

EXHIBIT 10.3(b) SYNAPTIC INCORPORATED 1996 STOCK OPTION PLAN STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 1. GRANT OF OPTION. Synaptics Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby grants to the person ("Optionee") whose name is set forth on the Notice of Grant of Stock Options attached hereto and made a part hereof, an option (the "Option") to purchase the total number of shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") set forth in the Notice of Grant of Stock Options, at the exercise price per share set forth in the Notice of Grant of Stock Options (the "Exercise Price") subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the Synaptics Incorporated 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") adopted by the Company, which is incorporated herein by reference. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Option. If designated an Incentive Stock Option on the Notice of Grant of Stock Options, this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Section 422 of the Code. 2. EXERCISE OF OPTION. This Option shall be exercisable during its Term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Grant of Stock Options and with the provisions of Section 9 of the Plan as follows: (a) RIGHT TO EXERCISE. (i) This Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share. (ii) In the event of Optionee's death, disability or other termination of employment, the exercisability of the Option is governed by Sections 5, 6 and 7 below, subject to the limitation contained in Section 2(a)(i). (iii) In no event may this Option be exercised after the Expiration Date of this Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant of Stock Options. (b) METHOD OF EXERCISE. This Option shall be exercisable by execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice or of any other form of written notice approved for such purpose by the Company ("Exercise Agreement"), which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised, and such other representations and agreements with respect to such shares of Common Stock as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. Such written notice shall be signed by Optionee and shall be delivered in person or by certified mail to the Secretary of the Company. The written notice shall be accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such written notice accompanied by the Exercise Price.

No Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless such issuance and such exercise shall comply with all relevant provisions of applicable law and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred to Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to such Shares. 3. METHOD OF PAYMENT. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of Optionee: (a) cash; (b) check; (c) surrender of other shares of Common Stock of the Company which (i) in the case of Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a Company option, have been owned by Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender, and (ii) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the Exercise Price of the Shares as to which the Option is being exercised; (d) if there is a public market for the Shares and they are registered under the Exchange Act, delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds required to pay the Exercise Price; or (e) a promissory note. 4. RESTRICTIONS ON EXERCISE. This Option may not be exercised until such time as the Plan has been approved by the shareholders of the Company, or if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities or other law or regulation, including any rule under Part 207 of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board. As a condition to the exercise of this Option, the Company may require Optionee to make any representation and warranty to the Company as may be required by any applicable law or regulation. 5. TERMINATION OF RELATIONSHIP. In the event of termination of Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant, Optionee may, to the extent otherwise so entitled at the date of such termination (the "Termination Date"), exercise this Option during the Termination Period set forth in the Notice of Grant of Stock Options. To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise this Option at such Termination Date, or if Optionee does not exercise this Option within the Termination Period, the Option shall terminate. 6. DISABILITY OF OPTIONEE. (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5 above, in the event of termination of Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant as a result of Optionee's total and permanent disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), Optionee -2-

may, but only within twelve months from the Termination Date (but in no event later than the Expiration Date set forth in the Notice of Grant of Stock Options), exercise this Option to the extent Optionee was entitled to exercise it as of such Termination Date. To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option as of the Termination Date, or if Optionee does not exercise such Option (to the extent so entitled) within the time specified in this Section 6(a), the Option shall terminate. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5 above, in the event of termination of Optionee's consulting relationship or Continuous Status as an Employee as a result of disability not constituting a total and permanent disability (as set forth in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), Optionee may, but only within six months from the Termination Date (but in no event later than the Expiration Date set forth in the Notice of Grant of Stock Options), exercise the Option to the extent Optionee was entitled to exercise it as of such Termination Date; provided, however, that if this is an Incentive Stock Option and Optionee fails to exercise this Incentive Stock Option within three months from the Termination Date, this Option will cease to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) and Optionee will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having received ordinary income at the time of such exercise in an amount generally measured by the difference between the Exercise Price for the Shares and the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise. To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the Termination Date, or if Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified in this Section 6(b), the Option shall terminate. 7. DEATH OF OPTIONEE. In the event of the death of Optionee (a) during the Term of this Option and while an Employee or Consultant of the Company and having been in Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant since the date of grant of the Option, or (b) within 30 days after Optionee's Termination Date, the Option may be exercised at any time within six months following the date of death (but in no event later than the Expiration Date set forth in the Notice of Grant of Stock Options), by Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent of the right to exercise that had accrued at the Termination Date. 8. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION. This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by him or her. The terms of this Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of Optionee. 9. TERM OF OPTION. This Option may be exercised only within the Term set forth in the Notice of Grant of Stock Options, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7 of the Plan. 10. TAX CONSEQUENCES. Set forth below is a brief summary as of the date of this Option of certain of the federal and California tax consequences of exercise of this Option and disposition of the Shares under the laws in effect as of the Date of Grant. THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES. -3-

(a) EXERCISE OF INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION. If this Option qualifies as an Incentive Stock Option, there will be no regular federal or California income tax liability upon the exercise of the Option, although the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price will be treated as an adjustment to the alternative minimum tax for federal tax purposes and may subject Optionee to the alternative minimum tax in the year of exercise. (b) EXERCISE OF NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION. If this Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, there may be a regular federal income tax liability and a California income tax liability upon the exercise of the Option. Optionee will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price. If Optionee is an employee, the Company will be required to withhold from Optionee's compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise. (c) DISPOSITION OF SHARES. In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, if Shares are held for at least one year, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for federal and California income tax purposes. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, if Shares transferred pursuant to the Option are held for at least one year after exercise and are disposed of at least two years after the Date of Grant, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will also be treated as long-term capital gain for federal and California income tax purposes. In either case, the long-term capital gain will be taxed for federal income tax and alternative minimum tax purposes at a maximum rate of 28% if the Shares are held more than one year but less than 18 months after exercise and at 20% if the Shares are held more than 18 months after exercise. If Shares purchased under an Incentive Stock Option are disposed of within one year after exercise or within two years after the Date of Grant, any gain realized on such disposition will be treated as compensation income (taxable at ordinary income rates) to the extent of the difference between the Exercise Price and the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise, or (ii) the sale price of the Shares. (d) NOTICE OF DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION OF INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION SHARES. If the Option granted to Optionee herein is an Incentive Stock Option, and if Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Incentive Stock Option on or before the later of (i) the date two years after the Date of Grant, or (ii) the date one year after the date of exercise, Optionee shall immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that he or she may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by Optionee from the early disposition by payment in cash or out of the current earnings paid to Optionee. -4-

11. WITHHOLDING TAX OBLIGATIONS. Optionee understands that, upon exercising a Nonstatutory Stock Option, he or she will recognize income for tax purposes in an amount equal to the excess of the then Fair Market Value of the Shares over the Exercise Price. However, the timing of this income recognition may be deferred for up to six months if Optionee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. If Optionee is an employee, the Company will be required to withhold from Optionee's compensation, or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount equal to a percentage of this compensation income. Additionally, Optionee may at some point be required to satisfy tax withholding obligations with respect to the disqualifying disposition of an Incentive Stock Option. Optionee shall satisfy his or her tax withholding obligation arising upon the exercise of this Option by one or some combination of the following methods: (a) by cash payment, (b) out of Optionee's current compensation, (c) if permitted by the Administrator, in its discretion, by surrendering to the Company Shares which (i) in the case of Shares previously acquired from the Company, have been owned by Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender, and (ii) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to or greater than Optionee's marginal tax rate times the ordinary income recognized, or (d) by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Option that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld. For this purpose, the Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined (the "Tax Date"). If Optionee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act (an "Insider"), any surrender of previously owned Shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations arising upon exercise of this Option must comply with the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act ("Rule 16b-3"). All elections by Optionee to have Shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations shall be made in writing in a form acceptable to the Administrator and shall be subject to the following restrictions: (a) the election must be made on or prior to the applicable Tax Date; (b) once made, the election shall be irrevocable as to the particular Shares of the Option as to which the election is made; and (c) all elections shall be subject to the consent or disapproval of the Administrator. 12. NO RIGHT TO CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the vesting of shares pursuant to the Option granted is earned only by continuing employment or consultancy at the will of the Company (not through the act of being hired, being granted this Option or acquiring shares hereunder). Optionee further acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Option Agreement, nor in the Plan, shall confer upon Optionee any right with respect to continuation of employment or consultancy by the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with Optionee's right or the Company's right to terminate Optionee's employment or consultancy at any time, with or without cause. -5-

13. EXECUTION. This Option Agreement is executed by the parties hereto on the Notice of Grant of Stock Options, which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. -6-

EXHIBIT 10.6(b) 2001 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN SYNAPTICS INCORPORATED INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 1. Grant of Option. SYNAPTICS INCORPORATED (the "Company") hereby grants, as of the date of grant (the "Date of Grant") set forth in the attached Notice of Grant of Stock Options attached hereto and made a part hereof, to the person whose name is set forth in the Notice of Grant of Stock Options (the "Optionee") an option (the "Option") to purchase the total number of shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Shares") set forth in the Notice of Grant of Stock Options, at the exercise price per share set forth in the Notice of Grant of Stock Options. The Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Option was issued pursuant to the Company's 2001 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), which is incorporated herein for all purposes. The Option is an Incentive Stock Option, and not a nonqualified stock option. The Optionee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions hereof and thereof and all applicable laws and regulations. 2. Definitions. Unless otherwise provided herein, terms used herein that are defined in the Plan and not defined herein shall have the meanings attributed thereto in the Plan. 3. Exercise Schedule. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6 or 10 of this Option Agreement, or in the Plan, the Option is exercisable in installments as provided in the Notice of Grant of Stock Options, which shall be cumulative. To the extent that the Option has become exercisable with respect to a percentage of Shares as provided in the Notice of Grant of Stock Options, the Option may thereafter be exercised by the Optionee, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to the expiration of the Option as provided herein. The Notice of Grant of Stock Options table indicates each date (the "Vesting Date") upon which the Optionee shall be entitled to exercise the Option with respect to the number of Shares granted as indicated beside the date, provided that the Continuous Service of the Optionee continues through and on the applicable Vesting Date. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, there shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to each Vesting Date, and all vesting shall occur only on the appropriate Vesting Date. Upon the termination of an Optionee's Continuous Service, any unvested portion of the Option shall terminate and be null and void. 4. Method of Exercise. The vested portion of this Option shall be exercisable in whole or in part in accordance with the exercise schedule set forth in the Notice of Grant of Stock Options by written notice, which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised, and such other representations and agreements as to the holder's investment intent with respect to such Shares as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. Such written notice shall be signed by the Optionee and shall be delivered in person or by certified mail to the Secretary of the Company. The written notice shall be accompanied by payment of the exercise price. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised after both (a) receipt by the Company of such written notice accompanied by the exercise price and (b) arrangements that are satisfactory to the Committee or

the Board in its sole discretion have been made for Optionee's payment to the Company of the amount, if any, that is necessary to be withheld in accordance with applicable Federal or state withholding requirements. No Shares will be issued pursuant to the Option unless and until such issuance and such exercise shall comply with all relevant provisions of applicable law, including the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares then may be traded. 5. Method of Payment. Payment of the exercise price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee: (a) cash; (b) check; or (c) such other consideration or in such other manner as may be determined by the Board or the Committee in its absolute discretion. 6. Termination of Option. (a) Any unexercised portion of the Option shall automatically and without notice terminate and become null and void at the time of the earliest to occur of the following: (i) three months after the date on which the Optionee's Continuous Service is terminated other than by reason of (A) Cause, (B) a mental or physical disability (within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 22(e)) of the Optionee as determined by a medical doctor satisfactory to the Committee or the Board, or (C) the death of the Optionee; (ii) immediately upon the termination of the Optionee's Continuous Service for Cause; (iii) twelve months after the date on which the Optionee's Continuous Service is terminated by reason of a mental or physical disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e) of the Code) as determined by a medical doctor satisfactory to the Committee or the Board; (iv) (A) twelve months after the date of termination of the Optionee's Continuous Service by reason of the death of the Optionee, or, if later, (B) three months after the date on which the Optionee shall die if such death shall occur during the one year period specified in Subsection 6(a)(iii) hereof; or (v) the tenth anniversary of the date as of which the Option is granted. (b) To the extent not previously exercised, (i) the Option shall terminate immediately in the event of (1) the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or (2) any reorganization, merger, consolidation or other form of corporate transaction in which the Company does not survive or the shares of Stock are converted into or exchanged for securities issued by another entity, unless the successor or acquiring entity, or an affiliate of such successor or acquiring entity, assumes the Option or substitutes an equivalent option or right pursuant to Section 10(c) of the Plan, and (ii) the Committee or the Board in its sole discretion may by written notice ("cancellation notice") cancel, effective upon the consummation of any corporate transaction described in Subsection 9(b)(i) of the Plan in which the Company does survive, the Option (or portion thereof) that remains unexercised on such date. The Committee or the Board shall give written notice of any proposed transaction referred to in this Section 6(b) a reasonable 2

period of time prior to the closing date for such transaction (which notice may be given either before or after approval of such transaction), in order that the Optionee may have a reasonable period of time prior to the closing date of such transaction within which to exercise the Option if and to the extent that it then is exercisable (including any portion of the Option that may become exercisable upon the closing date of such transaction). The Optionee may condition his exercise of the Option upon the consummation of a transaction referred to in this Section 6(b). 7. Transferability. The Option is not transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and during the lifetime of the Optionee the Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee. The terms of this Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee. 8. No Rights of Stockholders. Neither the Optionee nor any personal representative (or beneficiary) shall be, or shall have any of the rights and privileges of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Stock purchasable or issuable upon the exercise of the Option, in whole or in part, prior to the date of exercise of the Option. 9. Market Stand-Off Agreement. At the request of the Company or the underwriters managing any underwritten offering of the Company's securities, the Optionee agrees not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any shares of Stock (other than those included in the registration) acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Option, without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed 180 days) from the effective date of such registration as may be requested by the Company or such managing underwriters. 10. Acceleration of Exercisability of Option. This Option shall become immediately fully exercisable in the event that, prior to the termination of the Option pursuant to Section 6 hereof, (a) there is a "Change in Control", as defined in Section 9(b) of the Plan, that occurs while the Optionee is employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (b) the Committee or the Board exercises its discretion to provide a cancellation notice with respect to the Option pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii) hereof, or (c) the Option is terminated pursuant to Section 6(b)(i) hereof. 11. No Right to Continued Employment. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the vesting of shares pursuant to the Option granted is earned only by continuing employment or consultancy at the will of the Company (not through the act of being hired, being granted this Option or acquiring shares hereunder). Optionee further acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Option Agreement, nor in the Plan, shall confer upon Optionee any right with respect to continuation of employment or consultancy by the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with Optionee's right or the Company's right to terminate Optionee's employment or consultancy at any time, with or without Cause. 12. Law Governing. This Option Agreement shall be governed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of California. 3

13. Incentive Stock Option Treatment. The terms of this Option shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the intent of the Company and the Optionee that the Option qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code. If any provision of the Plan or this Option Agreement shall be impermissible in order for the Option to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, then the Option shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had never been included in the Plan or the Option. If and to the extent that the number of Options granted pursuant to this Option Agreement exceeds the limitations contained in Section 4(b) of the Plan or the value of Shares with respect to which this Option may qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, this Option shall be a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 14. Interpretation / Provisions of Plan Control. This Option Agreement is subject to all the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan, including, without limitation, the amendment provisions thereof, and to such rules, regulations and interpretations relating to the Plan adopted by the Committee or the Board as may be in effect from time to time. If and to the extent that this Option Agreement conflicts or is inconsistent with the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan, the Plan shall control, and this Option Agreement shall be deemed to be modified accordingly. The Optionee accepts the Option subject to all the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement. The undersigned Optionee hereby accepts as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Committee or the Board upon any questions arising under the Plan and this Option Agreement. 15. Notices. Any notice under this Option Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered personally or when deposited in the United States mail, registered, postage prepaid, and addressed, in the case of the Company, to the Company's Secretary at: Synaptics Incorporated 2381 Bering Drive San Jose, California 95131 or if the Company should move its principal office, to such principal office, and, in the case of the Optionee, to the Optionee's last permanent address as shown on the Company's records, subject to the right of either party to designate some other address at any time hereafter in a notice satisfying the requirements of this Section. 16. Tax Consequences. Set forth below is a brief summary as of the date of this Option of some of the federal tax consequences of exercise of this Option and disposition of the Shares. THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES. (a) Exercise of Option. There will be no regular federal income tax liability upon the exercise of the Option, although the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price will be treated as an adjustment to the 4

alternative minimum tax for federal tax purposes and may subject the Optionee to the alternative minimum tax in the year of exercise. (b) Disposition of Shares. If Shares transferred pursuant to the Option are held for at least one year after exercise and are disposed of at least two years after the date of grant, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will also be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes. If Shares purchased under an Option are disposed of within such one-year period or within two years after the Date of Grant, any gain realized on such disposition will be treated as compensation income (taxable at ordinary income rates) to the extent of the difference between the exercise price and the lesser of (1) the fair market value of the Shares on the date of exercise, or (2) the sale price of the Shares. (c) Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of Option Shares. If Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Option on or before the later of (1) the date two years after the date of grant, (2) the date one year after the date of exercise, the Optionee shall immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition. Optionee agrees that Optionee may be subject to the income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by the Optionee from the early disposition by payment in cash or out of the current earnings paid to the Optionee. If and to the extent that the number of Options granted hereunder exceeds the limitations contained in Section 4(b) of the Plan or the value of Shares with respect to which this Option may qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, this Option shall be a Non-Qualified Stock Option. The holder of a Non-Qualified Stock Option will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) at the time the Option is exercised equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares of Stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price. If the shares of Stock transferred pursuant to the Non-Qualified Stock Option are held for at least one year after the Option is exercised, any gain realized on disposition of the shares of Stock will be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The foregoing discussion assumes that, and only is applicable if, the fair market value of the Shares as of the date on which the Option is granted is not less than the exercise price. The Company believes that it has made a good faith effort to determine the fair market value of the Shares and does not believe that the exercise price is less than the fair market value of the Shares on the Date of Grant. No assurances can be given, however, that the Internal Revenue Service would not take a contrary position, or that the Internal Revenue Service would not treat the Option as an Incentive Stock Option for some other reason. If the exercise price is determined to be less than the fair market value of a Share on the Date of Grant, then the Option may be taxable as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. It is also possible that if the fair market value is determined to be significantly greater than the exercise price, the Internal Revenue Service may take the position that the Option is not in effect a stock option but should be treated as a restricted stock for tax purposes. The Optionee should consult with his or her own tax advisors as to whether any action should be taken to minimize these risks. 17. Execution. This Option Agreement is executed by the parties hereto on the Notice of Grant of Stock Options, which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. 5

The Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Option was issued pursuant to the Company's 2001 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), which is incorporated herein for all purposes. The Option is a nonqualified stock option, and not an Incentive Stock Option. The Optionee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions hereof and thereof and all applicable laws and regulations. 2. Definitions. Unless otherwise provided herein, terms used herein that are defined in the Plan and not defined herein shall have the meanings attributed thereto in the Plan. 3. Exercise Schedule. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6 or 8 of this Option Agreement, or in the Plan, the Option is exercisable in installments as provided in the Notice of Grant of Stock Options, which shall be cumulative. To the extent that the Option has become exercisable with respect to a percentage of Shares as provided in the Notice of Grant of Stock Options, the Option may thereafter be exercised by the Optionee, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to the expiration of the Option as provided herein. The Notice of Grant of Stock Options table indicates each date (the "Vesting Date") upon which the Optionee shall be entitled to exercise the Option with respect to the number of Shares granted as indicated beside the date, provided that the Continuous Service of the Optionee continues through and on the applicable Vesting Date. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, there shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to each Vesting Date, and all vesting shall occur only on the appropriate Vesting Date. Upon the termination of an Optionee's Continuous Service, any unvested portion of the Option shall terminate and be null and void. 4. Method of Exercise. The vested portion of this Option shall be exercisable in whole or in part in accordance with the exercise schedule set forth in the Notice of Grant of Stock Options by written notice, which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised, and such other representations and agreements as to the holder's investment intent with respect to such Shares as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. Such written notice shall be signed by the Optionee and shall be delivered in person or by certified mail to the Secretary of the Company. The written notice shall be accompanied by payment of the exercise price. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised after both (a) receipt by the Company of such written notice accompanied by the exercise price and (b) arrangements that are satisfactory to the Committee or the Board in its sole discretion have been made for Optionee's payment to the Company of the

amount that is necessary to be withheld in accordance with applicable Federal or state withholding requirements. No Shares will be issued pursuant to the Option unless and until such issuance and such exercise shall comply with all relevant provisions of applicable law, including the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares then may be traded. 5. Method of Payment. Payment of the exercise price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee: (a) cash; (b) check; or (c) such other consideration or in such other manner as may be determined by the Board or the Committee in its absolute discretion. 6. Termination of Option. (a) Any unexercised portion of the Option shall automatically and without notice terminate and become null and void at the time of the earliest to occur of: (i) three months after the date on which the Optionee's Continuous Service is terminated other than by reason of (A) Cause, (B) a mental or physical disability (within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 22(e)) of the Optionee as determined by a medical doctor satisfactory to the Committee or the Board, or (C) the death of the Optionee; (ii) immediately upon the termination of the Optionee's Continuous Service for Cause; (iii) twelve months after the date on which the Optionee's Continuous Service is terminated by reason of a mental or physical disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e) of the Code) as determined by a medical doctor satisfactory to the Committee or the Board; (iv) (A) twelve months after the date of termination of the Optionee's Continuous Service by reason of the death of the Optionee, or , if later, (B) three months after the date on which the Optionee shall die if such death shall occur during the one year period specified in Subsection 6(a)(iii) hereof; or (v) the tenth anniversary of the date as of which the Option is granted. (b) To the extent not previously exercised, (i) the Option shall terminate immediately in the event of (1) the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or (2) any reorganization, merger, consolidation or other form of corporate transaction in which the Company does not survive or the shares of Stock are converted into or exchanged for securities issued by another entity, unless the successor or acquiring entity, or an affiliate of such successor or acquiring entity, assumes the Option or substitutes an equivalent option or right pursuant to Section 10(c) of the Plan, and (ii) the Committee or the Board in its sole discretion may by written notice ("cancellation notice") cancel, effective upon the consummation of any corporate transaction described in Subsection 9(b)(i) of the Plan in which the Company does survive, the Option (or portion thereof) that remains unexercised on such date. The Committee or the Board shall give written notice of any proposed transaction referred to in this Section 6(b) a reasonable period of time prior to the closing date for such transaction (which notice may be given either before or after approval of such transaction), in order that the Optionee may have a reasonable 2

period of time prior to the closing date of such transaction within which to exercise the Option if and to the extent that it then is exercisable (including any portion of the Option that may become exercisable upon the closing date of such transaction). The Optionee may condition his exercise of the Option upon the consummation of a transaction referred to in this Section 6(b). 7. Transferability (a) General. Except as provided herein, a Participant may not assign, sell, transfer, or otherwise encumber or subject to any lien any Award or other right or interest granted under this Plan, in whole or in part, including any Award or right which constitutes a derivative security as generally defined in Rule 16a-1(c) under the Exchange Act, other than by will or by operation of the laws of descent and distribution, and such Awards or rights that may be exercisable shall be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant or his or her guardian or legal representative. (b) Permitted Transfer of Option. The Committee or Board, in its sole discretion, may permit the transfer of an Option granted under this Option Agreement as follows: (A) by gift to a member of the Participant's Immediate Family or (B) by transfer by instrument to a trust providing that the Option is to be passed to beneficiaries upon death of the Optionee. For purposes of this Section 7(b), "Immediate Family" shall mean the Optionee's spouse (including a former spouse subject to terms of a domestic relations order); child, stepchild, grandchild, child-in-law; parent, stepparent, grandparent, parent-in-law; sibling and sibling-in-law, and shall include adoptive relationships. If a determination is made by counsel for the Company that the restrictions contained in this Section 7(b) are not required by applicable federal or state securities laws under the circumstances, then the Committee or Board, in its sole discretion, may permit the transfer of Options granted under this Option Agreement to one or more Beneficiaries or other transferees during the lifetime of the Participant, which may be exercised by such transferees in accordance with the terms of this Option Agreement, but only if and to the extent permitted by the Committee or the Board pursuant to the express terms of this Option Agreement (subject to any terms and conditions which the Committee or the Board may impose thereon, and further subject to any prohibitions and restrictions on such transfers pursuant to Rule 16b-3). A Beneficiary, transferee, or other person claiming any rights under the Plan from or through any Participant shall be subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award agreement applicable to such Participant, except as otherwise determined by the Committee or the Board, and to any additional terms and conditions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee or the Board. [8. Acceleration of Exercisability of Option. This Option shall become immediately fully exercisable in the event that, prior to the termination of the Option pursuant to Section 6 hereof, (a) there is a "Change in Control", as defined in Section 9(b) of the Plan, that occurs while the Optionee is employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (b) the Committee or the Board exercises its discretion to provide a cancellation notice with respect to the Option pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii) hereof, or (c) the Option is terminated pursuant to Section 6(b)(i) hereof. [Optional] 3

9. No Rights of Stockholders. Neither the Optionee nor any personal representative (or beneficiary) shall be, or shall have any of the rights and privileges of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Stock purchasable or issuable upon the exercise of the Option, in whole or in part, prior to the date of exercise of the Option. 10. Market Stand-Off Agreement. At the request of the Company or the underwriters managing any underwritten offering of the Company's securities, the Optionee agrees not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any shares of Stock (other than those included in the registration) acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Option, without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed 180 days) from the effective date of such registration as may be requested by the Company or such managing underwriters. 11. No Right to Continued Employment. Neither the Option nor this Option Agreement shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continued employment or service with the Company. 12. Law Governing. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the vesting of shares pursuant to the Option granted is earned only by continuing employment or consultancy at the will of the Company (not through the act of being hired, being granted this Option or acquiring shares hereunder). Optionee further acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Option Agreement, nor in the Plan, shall confer upon Optionee any right with respect to continuation of employment or consultancy by the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with Optionee's right or the Company's right to terminate Optionee's employment or consultancy at any time, with or without Cause. 13. Interpretation / Provisions of Plan Control. This Option Agreement is subject to all the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan, including, without limitation, the amendment provisions thereof, and to such rules, regulations and interpretations relating to the Plan adopted by the Committee or the Board as may be in effect from time to time. If and to the extent that this Option Agreement conflicts or is inconsistent with the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan, the Plan shall control, and this Option Agreement shall be deemed to be modified accordingly. The Optionee accepts the Option subject to all the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement. The undersigned Optionee hereby accepts as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Committee or the Board upon any questions arising under the Plan and this Option Agreement. 14. Notices. Any notice under this Option Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered personally or when deposited in the United States mail, registered, postage prepaid, and addressed, in the case of the Company, to the Company's Secretary at: Synaptics Incorporated 2381 Bering Drive San Jose, California 95131 4

or if the Company should move its principal office, to such principal office, and, in the case of the Optionee, to the Optionee's last permanent address as shown on the Company's records, subject to the right of either party to designate some other address at any time hereafter in a notice satisfying the requirements of this Section. 15. Tax Consequences. Set forth below is a brief summary as of the date of this Option of some of the federal tax consequences of exercise of this Option and disposition of the Shares. THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES. (a) Exercise of Option. There may be a regular federal income tax liability upon the exercise of the Option. The Optionee will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price. If Optionee is an employee, the Company will be required to withhold from Optionee's compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise. (b) Disposition of Shares. If Shares are held for at least one year, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The foregoing discussion assumes that, and only is applicable if, the fair market value of the Shares as of the date on which the Option is granted is not significantly less than the exercise price. The Company believes that it has made a good faith effort to determine the fair market value of the Shares and does not believe that the exercise price is significantly less than the fair market value of the Shares on the Date of Grant. No assurances can be given, however, that the Internal Revenue Service would not take a contrary position. It is possible that if the fair market value is determined to be significantly greater than the exercise price, the Internal Revenue Service may take the position that the Option is not in effect a stock option but should be treated as a restricted stock for tax purposes. The Optionee should consult with his or her own tax advisors as to whether any action should be taken to minimize these risks. 16. Execution. This Option Agreement is executed by the parties hereto on the Notice of Grant of Stock Options, which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. 5

Payment of any liability arising under the terms of the Joint Election will be pursuant to the provisions of the Joint Election. 6. Termination of Option. (a) Any unexercised portion of the Option shall automatically and without notice terminate and become null and void at the time of the earliest to occur of: (i) three months after the date on which the Optionee's Continuous Service is terminated other than by reason of (A) Cause, which, solely for purposes of this Plan, shall mean the termination of the Optionee's Continuous Service by reason of the Optionee's willful misconduct or gross negligence, (B) a mental or physical disability (within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 22(e)) of the Optionee as determined by a medical doctor satisfactory to the Committee or the Board, or (C) the death of the Optionee; (ii) immediately upon the termination of the Optionee's Continuous Service for Cause; (iii) twelve months after the date on which the Optionee's Continuous Service is terminated by reason of a mental or physical disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e) of the Code) as determined by a medical doctor satisfactory to the Committee or the Board; (iv) (A) twelve months after the date of termination of the Optionee's Continuous Service by reason of the death of the Optionee, or , if later, (B) three months after the date on which the Optionee shall die if such death shall occur during the one year period specified in Subsection 6(a)(iii) hereof; or (v) the tenth anniversary of the date as of which the Option is granted. (b) To the extent not previously exercised, (i) the Option shall terminate immediately in the event of (1) the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or (2) any reorganization, merger, consolidation or other form of corporate transaction in which the Company does not survive or the shares of Stock are converted into or exchanged for securities issued by another entity, unless the successor or acquiring entity, or an -2-

affiliate of such successor or acquiring entity, assumes the Option or substitutes an equivalent option or right pursuant to Section 10(c) of the Plan, and (ii) the Committee or the Board in its sole discretion may by written notice ("cancellation notice") cancel, effective upon the consummation of any corporate transaction described in Subsection 9(b)(i) of the Plan in which the Company does survive, the Option (or portion thereof) that remains unexercised on such date. The Committee or the Board shall give written notice of any proposed transaction referred to in this Section 6(b) a reasonable period of time prior to the closing date for such transaction (which notice may be given either before or after approval of such transaction), in order that the Optionee may have a reasonable period of time prior to the closing date of such transaction within which to exercise the Option if and to the extent that it then is exercisable (including any portion of the Option that may become exercisable upon the closing date of such transaction). The Optionee may condition his exercise of the Option upon the consummation of a transaction referred to in this Section 6(b). 7. Tax Consequences (a) The Optionee should obtain advice from an appropriate independent professional adviser in relation to the United Kingdom taxation implications of the grant, exercise, assignment, release, cancellation or any other disposal of this Option (the "Trigger Event") pursuant to the Plan and on any subsequent sale of the Option Shares. The Optionee should also take advice in respect of the United Kingdom taxation indemnity provisions comprising Sections 8a and 8b below. 8. Optionee's Taxation Indemnity (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Optionee hereby agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Company, as trustee for and on behalf of any related corporation, in respect of any liability or obligation of the Company and/or any related corporation to account for income tax (under PAYE) or any other taxation provisions and primary class 1 National Insurance contributions ("NICs") in the United Kingdom to the extent arising from a Trigger Event or arising out of the acquisition, retention and disposal of the Shares acquired pursuant to this Option. (b) The Company shall not be obliged to allot and issue any Shares or any interest in Shares pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless and until the Optionee has paid to the Company such sum as is, in the opinion of the Company, sufficient to indemnify the Company in full against any liability the Company has to account to the Inland Revenue for any amount of, or representing, income tax and/or primary NICs (the "Option Tax Liability"), or the Optionee has made such other arrangement as in the opinion of the Company will ensure that the full amount of any Option Tax Liability will be recovered from the Optionee within such period as the Company may then determine. (c) In the absence of any such other arrangement being made, the Company shall have the right to retain out of the aggregate number of shares to which the Optionee would have otherwise been entitled upon the exercise of an Option, such number of Shares as, in the opinion of the Company, will enable the Company to sell as agent for the Optionee (at the best price which can reasonably expect to be obtained at the time of -3-

the sale) and to pay over to the Company sufficient monies out of the net proceeds of sale, after deduction of all fees, commissions and expenses incurred in relation to such sale, to satisfy the Optionee's liability under such indemnity. 9. Employer's NICs. As a consideration of the grant of an Option under the Plan the Optionee has joined with the Company, or if and to the extent that there is a change in the law, any other company or person who is or becomes a secondary contributor for NIC purposes in respect of this Option (the "Secondary Contributor") in making an election (in such terms and such form as provided in paragraphs 3A and 3B of Schedule 1 to the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992) which has been approved by the Inland Revenue (the "Joint Election"), for the transfer of the whole or any liability of the Secondary Contributor to Employer's Class 1 NICs to be transferred to the Optionee. 10. Restrictions While Stock is Not Registered. (a) Restricted Shares. Any shares of Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option specified in Section 1 and (i) all shares of the Company's capital stock received as a dividend or other distribution upon such shares, and (ii) all shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company into which such shares may be changed or for which such shares shall be exchanged, whether through reorganization, recapitalization, stock split-ups or the like, shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 10 at all times, and only at those times, that shares of the Company's Common Stock are not registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (such times during which the Stock is not so registered sometimes hereinafter being referred to as the "Restricted Period") and are during the Restricted Period hereinafter referred to as "Restricted Shares." (b) No Sale or Pledge of Restricted Shares. Except as otherwise provided herein, Optionee agrees and covenants that during the Restricted Period he or she will not sell, pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer or dispose of, and will not permit to be sold, encumbered, attached or otherwise disposed of or transferred in any manner, either voluntarily or by operation of law (all hereinafter collectively referred to as "transfers"), all or any portion of the Restricted Shares or any interest therein except in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Section 10. (c) Voluntary Transfer Repurchase Option. If Optionee desires to effect a voluntary transfer of any of the Restricted Shares during the Restricted Period, Optionee shall first give written notice to the Company of such intent to transfer (the "Offer Notice") specifying (i) the number of the Restricted Shares (the "Offered Shares") and the date of the proposed transfer (which shall not be less than thirty (30) days after the giving of the Offer Notice), (ii) the name, address, and principal business of the proposed transferee (the "Transferee"), and (iii) the price and other terms and conditions of the proposed transfer of the Offered Shares to the Transferee. The Offer Notice by Optionee shall constitute an offer to sell all, but not less than all, of the Offered Shares, at the price and on the terms specified in such Offer Notice, to the Company and/or its designated purchaser. If the Company desires to accept Optionee's offer to sell, either for itself or on behalf of its designated purchaser, the Company shall signify such acceptance by written notice to Optionee within thirty (30) days following the giving of the Option Notice. Failing such acceptance, Optionee's offer -4-

shall lapse on the thirty-first day following the giving of the Option Notice. With such written acceptance, the Company shall designate a day not later than ten days following the date of giving its notice of acceptance on which the Company or its designated purchaser shall deliver the purchase price of the Offered Shares (in the same form as provided in the Offer Notice) and Optionee shall deliver to the Company or its designated Purchaser, as applicable, all certificates evidencing the Offered Shares endorsed in blank for transfer or with separate stock powers endorsed in blank for transfer. Payment of the purchase price may, at the discretion of the Company, include cancellation of all or a part of any outstanding indebtedness of Optionee to the Company. Upon the lapse without acceptance by the Company of Optionee's offer to sell the Offered Shares, Optionee shall be free to transfer the Offered Shares not purchased by the Company or the designated purchaser to the Transferee (and no one else), for a price and on terms and conditions which are no more favorable to the Transferee than those set forth in the Offer Notice, for a period of thirty days thereafter, but after such period the restrictions of this Section 10 shall again apply to the Restricted Shares. The Offered Shares so transferred by Optionee to the Transferee shall continue to be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Section 10 and the Company shall have the right to require, as a condition of such transfer, that the Transferee execute an agreement substantially in the form and content of the provisions of this Section 10, as well as any shareholders agreement required by the Company. (d) Involuntary Transfer Repurchase Option. Whenever, during the Restricted Period, Optionee has any notice or knowledge of any attempted, pending, or consummated involuntary transfer or lien or charge upon any of the Restricted Shares, whether by operation of law or otherwise (including divorce), Optionee shall give immediate written notice thereof to the Company. Whenever the Company has any other notice or knowledge of any such attempted, impending, or consummated involuntary transfer, lien, or charge, it shall give written notice thereof to the Optionee. In either case, Optionee agrees to disclose forthwith to the Company all pertinent information in his possession relating thereto. If during the Restricted Period any of the Restricted Shares are subjected to any such involuntary transfer, lien, or charge, the Company and its designated purchaser shall at all times have the immediate and continuing option to purchase such of the Restricted Shares upon notice by the Company to Optionee or other record holder at a price and on terms determined according to Section 10(f) below, and any of the Restricted Shares so purchased by the Company or its designated purchaser shall in every case be free and clear of such transfer, lien, or charge. (e) Excepted Transfers. The provisions of Sections 10(b) and (c) shall not apply to transfers by Optionee to his or her spouse, lineal descendants or trustee of trusts for their benefit, provided, however, that during the Restricted Period Optionee shall continue to be subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Section 10 with respect to any remaining present or future interest whatsoever he or she may have in the transferred Restricted Shares, and, further provided that during the Restricted Period any shares transferred pursuant to this subsection (e) shall continue to be treated as Restricted Shares and the transferee of any such Restricted Shares shall likewise be subject to all such terms and conditions of this Section 10 as though such transferee were a party hereto. -5-

(f) Repurchase Price. For purposes of Section 10(d) hereof, the per share purchase price of Restricted Shares shall be an amount equal to the fair market value of such share, determined by the Board and agreed by the Inland Revenue Share Valuation division as of any date determined by the Board that is not more than one year prior to the date of the event giving rise to the Company's right to purchase such Restricted Shares. The Company shall notify Optionee or his or her executor of the price so determined within 30 days after receipt of notice of the involuntary transfer, lien or charge. Any determination of fair market value made by the Board shall be binding and conclusive on all parties unless shown to have been made in an arbitrary and capricious manner. The purchase price shall, at the option of the Company, be payable in cash or in the form of the Company's promissory note payable in up to two equal annual installments commencing on the date of the acquisition by the Company (the "Restricted Share Acquisition Date") of the Restricted Shares, together with interest on the unpaid balance thereof at the rate equal to the prime rate of interest as quoted in the Wall Street Journal on the Restricted Share Acquisition Date. (g) Legends. The certificate or certificates representing any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option prior to the last day of the Restricted Period shall bear the following legends (as well as any legends required by applicable state and federal corporate and securities laws): (A) "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT") AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES, SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH." (B) "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND REPURCHASE OPTIONS HELD BY THE ISSUER OR ITS ASSIGNEE(S) AS SET FORTH IN A STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT DATED ______________________, AS MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. SUCH TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS, RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND REPURCHASE RIGHTS ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES." 11. Transferability (a) General. Except as provided herein, a Participant may not assign, sell, transfer, or otherwise encumber or subject to any lien any Award or other right or interest granted under this Plan, in whole or in part, including any Award or right which constitutes a derivative security as generally defined in Rule 16a-1(c) under the Exchange Act, other than by will or by operation of the laws of descent and distribution, and such Awards or rights that may be exercisable shall be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant or his or her guardian or legal representative. -6-

EXHIBIT A INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT PURCHASER : COMPANY : SECURITY : COMMON STOCK AMOUNT : DATE : In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, I, the Purchaser, represent to the Company the following: (a) I am aware of the Company's business affairs and financial condition, and have acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. I am purchasing these Securities for my own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). (b) I understand that the Company's issuance of the Securities has not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of my investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, I understand that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if my representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future. (c) I further understand that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless the transfer is subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available. Moreover, I understand that the Company is under no obligation to register any transfer of the Securities. In addition, I understand that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel for the Company. (d) I am familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of "restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of issuance of the Securities, such issuance will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company later becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, ninety (90) days thereafter the securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144, including among other things: (1) the sale being made through a broker in an unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); and, in the case of an affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information about the Company, and the amount of securities being sold during any three month period not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), if applicable. Notwithstanding this paragraph (d), I acknowledge and agree to the restrictions set forth in paragraph (e) hereof. -10-

In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of issuance of the Securities, then the Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires among other things: (1) the availability of certain public information about the Company, (2) the resale occurring not less than one year after the party has purchased, and made full payment for, within the meaning of Rule 144, the securities to be sold; and, in the case of an affiliate, or of a non-affiliate who has held the securities less than two years, (3) the sale being made through a broker in an unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and the amount of securities being sold during any three month period not exceeding the specified limitations stated therein, if applicable. (e) I further understand that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 144 or Rule 701 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 and Rule 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the SEC has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.

Continuous Status as an Employee shall not be considered interrupted in the case of a leave of absence agreed to in writing by the Company or the Designated Subsidiary that employs the Employee, provided that such leave is for a period of not more than 90 days or reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute.

Options granted after the first day of an Offering Period will be subject to the same terms as the options granted on the first Trading Day of such Offering Period except that they will have a different grant date (thus, potentially, a different exercise price) and, because they expire at the same time as the options granted on the first Trading Day of such Offering Period, a shorter term.

(a) Any Employee who has completed at least three (3) months of employment with the Company or any Designated Subsidiary and who is an Employee as of the Offering Date of a given Offering Period shall be eligible to become a Participant as of any Entry Date within that Offering Period under the Plan, subject to the requirements of Section 5(a) and the limitations imposed by Section 423(b) of the Code; provided, however, that any Employee who is an Employee as of the First Offering Date shall be eligible to become a Participant as of such First Offering Date. (b) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Participant shall be granted an option under the Plan (i) to the extent that if, immediately after the grant, such Employee (or any other person whose stock would be attributed to such Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) would own stock and/or hold outstanding options to purchase stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the Company, or (ii) to the extent that his or her rights to purchase stock under all employee stock purchase plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code to accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of fair market value of stock (determined at the time such option is granted) for each calendar year in which such option is outstanding at any time. 4. Offering Periods. The Plan shall generally be implemented by a series of Offering Periods. The first Offering Period shall commence on the First Offering Date and end on December 31, 2003, and succeeding Offering Periods shall commence on the January 1 immediately following the end of the previous Offering Period and end on the December 31 which is 24 months thereafter. If, however, the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on any Exercise Date (except the final scheduled Exercise Date of any Offering Period) is lower than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Offering Date, then the Offering Period in progress shall end immediately 3

following the close of trading on such Exercise Date, and a new Offering Period shall begin on the next subsequent January 1 or July 1, as applicable, and shall extend for a 24 month period ending on December 31 or June 30, as applicable. Subsequent Offering Periods shall commence on the January 1 or July 1, as applicable, immediately following the end of the previous Offering Period and shall extend for a 24 month period ending on December 31 or June 30, as applicable. The Committee shall have the power to make other changes to the duration and/or the frequency of Offering Periods with respect to future offerings if such change is announced at least five (5) days prior to the scheduled beginning of the first Offering Period to be affected. 5. Participation. (a) All Employees who are eligible Employees as of the First Offering Date shall automatically become Participants in the Plan as of the First Offering Date, and shall be eligible to purchase shares of the Common Stock on the Exercise Date of the first Exercise Period of the initial Offering Period in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate purchase price for one thousand five hundred (1,500) shares of Common Stock or (ii) fifteen (15%) percent of the Compensation that the Participant receives during the first Exercise Period of the initial Offering Period (subject to the restrictions contained in Section 3(b) hereof), unless the Participant elects a lower level of participation as provided under Section 5(c) hereof. Such purchase shall be made by a direct lump sum cash transfer by the Participant to the Plan, unless the Participant files a payroll deduction election in accordance with Section 5(c), or withdraws from the Plan pursuant to Section 11 hereof. No enrollment agreement or payroll deduction election need be filed by a Participant with the Company in order to participate in the initial Offering Period. (b) Employees meeting the eligibility requirements of Section 3 hereof after the First Offering Date may elect to participate in the Plan commencing on any Entry Date by completing an enrollment agreement on the form provided by the Company and filing the enrollment agreement with the Company on or prior to such Entry Date, unless a later time for filing the enrollment agreement is set by the Committee for all eligible Employees with respect to a given offering. The enrollment agreement shall contain a payroll deduction election setting forth the percentage of the Participant's Compensation that is to be withheld by payroll deduction pursuant to the Plan. (c) No payroll deductions shall be made (and no payroll deduction elections shall be accepted) by the Company for Participants during the first Exercise Period of the initial Offering Period prior to the time that a registration statement with respect to the shares of Common Stock being offered under the Plan has been filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on Form S-8, and is effective. Once the Form S-8 is effective, a Participant may, but need not, make a payroll deduction election with respect to the first Exercise Period of the initial Offering Period by filing an enrollment agreement containing the payroll deduction election with the Company. A Participant may elect a lower level of participation than that provided in Section 5(a) hereof with respect to the first Exercise Period of the initial Offering Period at that time. If a payroll deduction is elected under this Section 5(c), payroll deductions may commence as early as with the first pay period beginning after the First Offering Date. Subject to the participation level specified in Section 5(a), the rate of payroll deduction during the first Exercise Period of the initial Offering Period may exceed the maximum permitted rate under Section 6(a) hereof to make up for the payroll deductions, if any, which would otherwise have been made prior to the effectiveness of the Form S-8 with respect to the 4

Plan. If a payroll deduction election is made under this Section 5(c), payroll deductions shall continue at the rate elected by the Participant under Section 6(a) for subsequent Exercise Periods, unless the Participant makes a change permitted under Section 6(b), or withdraws from the Plan under Section 11. (d) For all Exercise Periods subsequent to the first Exercise Period of the initial Offering Period, purchases generally must be made via payroll deduction. Participants in the first Exercise Period of the initial Offering Period who do not make a payroll deduction election pursuant to Section 5(c) must file an enrollment form containing a payroll deduction election with respect to subsequent Exercise Periods with the Company prior to the commencement of a subsequent Exercise Period (unless a later time for filing is set by the Administrator for all Participants) in order to make further purchases under the Plan. Payroll deductions for Participants required to file a payroll deduction election under this Section 5(d) shall commence on the first payroll of the subsequent Exercise Period and shall end on the last payroll in the Offering Period, unless sooner terminated by the Participant as provided in Section 11. (e) Except as otherwise determined by the Committee under rules applicable to all Participants, payroll deductions for Participants enrolling in the Plan after the First Offering Date under Section 5(b) shall commence on the first payroll following the Entry Date on which the Participant files an enrollment agreement in accordance with Section 5(b) and shall end on the last payroll in the Offering Period, unless sooner terminated by the Participant as provided in Section 11. (f) Unless a Participant elects otherwise prior to the last Exercise Date of an Offering Period, including the last Exercise Date prior to termination in the case of an Offering Period terminated by operation of the rule contained in Section 4 hereof, such Participant shall be deemed (i) to have elected to participate in the immediately succeeding Offering Period (and, for purposes of such Offering Period such Participant's "Entry Date" shall be deemed to be the first day of such Offering Period) and (ii) to have authorized the same payroll deduction for such immediately succeeding Offering Period as was in effect for such Participant immediately prior to the commencement of such succeeding Offering Period. 6. Plan Contributions. (a) Except with respect to the first Exercise Period of the initial Offering Period, and except as otherwise authorized by the Committee pursuant to Section 6(d) below, all contributions to the Plan shall be made only by payroll deductions. At the time a Participant files the enrollment agreement with respect to an Offering Period, the Participant may authorize payroll deductions to be made on each payroll date during the portion of the Offering Period that he or she is a Participant in an amount not less than 1% and not more than 15% of the Participant's Compensation on each payroll date during the portion of the Offering Period that he or she is a Participant (or subsequent Offering Periods as provided in Section 5(f)). The amount of payroll deductions shall be a whole percentage (i.e., 1%, 2%, 3%, etc.) of the Participant's Compensation. (b) A Participant may discontinue his or her participation in the Plan as provided in Section 11, or may decrease or increase the rate or amount of his or her payroll deductions during such Offering Period (within the limitations of Section 5(c) and 6(a) above) by completing and filing with the Company a new enrollment agreement authorizing a change in the rate or amount of payroll 5

deductions; provided, that a Participant may not change the rate or amount of his or her payroll deductions more than once in any Exercise Period. The change in rate or amount shall be effective with the first full payroll period following ten (10) business days after the Company's receipt of the new enrollment agreement. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(b) hereof, a Participant's payroll deductions may be decreased to 0% at such time during any Exercise Period which is scheduled to end during the current calendar year that the aggregate of all payroll deductions accumulated with respect to such Exercise Period and any other Exercise Period ending within the same calendar year are equal to the product of $25,000 multiplied by the Applicable Percentage for the calendar year. Payroll deductions shall recommence at the rate provided in the Participant's enrollment agreement at the beginning of the following Exercise Period which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless terminated by the Participant as provided in Section 11. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, but subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3(b), the Committee may permit Participants to make after-tax contributions to the Plan at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may in its discretion determine. All such additional contributions shall be made in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 423 of the Code or any successor thereto, and shall be held in Participants' accounts and applied to the purchase of shares of Common Stock pursuant to options granted under this Plan in the same manner as payroll deductions contributed to the Plan as provided above. (e) All Plan Contributions made for a Participant shall be deposited in the Company's general corporate account and shall be credited to the Participant's account under the Plan. No interest shall accrue or be credited with respect to a Participant's Plan Contributions. All Plan Contributions received or held by the Company may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate or otherwise set apart such Plan Contributions from any other corporate funds. 7. Grant of Option. (a) On a Participant's Entry Date, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3(b) and 12(a), the Participant shall be granted an option to purchase on each subsequent Exercise Date during the Offering Period in which such Entry Date occurs (at the Exercise Price determined as provided in Section 8 below) up to a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing such Participant's Plan Contributions accumulated prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the Participant's account as of such Exercise Date by the Exercise Price; provided, that the maximum number of shares a Participant may purchase during any Exercise Period shall be One Thousand Five Hundred (1,500) shares. The Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock shall be determined as provided in Section 7(b). (b) The Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on a given date shall be determined by the Committee in its discretion; provided, that if there is a public market for the Common Stock, the Fair Market Value per share shall be either (i) the closing price of the Common Stock on such date (or, in the event that the Common Stock is not traded on such date, on the 6

immediately preceding trading date), as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (Nasdaq) National Market System, (ii) if such price is not reported, the average of the bid and asked prices for the Common Stock on such date (or, in the event that the Common Stock is not traded on such date, on the immediately preceding trading date), as reported by Nasdaq, (iii) in the event the Common Stock is listed on a stock exchange, the closing price of the Common Stock on such exchange on such date (or, in the event that the Common Stock is not traded on such date, on the immediately preceding trading date), as reported in The Wall Street Journal, or (iv) if no such quotations are available for a date within a reasonable time prior to the valuation date, the value of the Common Stock as determined by the Committee using any reasonable means. For purposes of the First Offering Date, the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock shall be the Price to Public as set forth in the final prospectus filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 8. Exercise Price. The Exercise Price per share of Common Stock offered to each Participant in a given Offering Period shall be the lower of: (i) the Applicable Percentage of the greater of (A) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Offering Date or (B) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Entry Date on which the Employee elects to become a Participant within the Offering Period or (ii) the Applicable Percentage of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date. The Applicable Percentage with respect to each Offering Period shall be 85%, unless and until such Applicable Percentage is increased by the Committee, in its sole discretion, provided that any such increase in the Applicable Percentage with respect to a given Offering Period must be established not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the Offering Date thereof. 9. Exercise of Options. Unless the Participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in Section 11, the Participant's option for the purchase of shares will be exercised automatically on each Exercise Date, and the maximum number of full shares subject to such option shall be purchased for the Participant at the applicable Exercise Price with the accumulated Plan Contributions then credited the Participant's account under the Plan. During a Participant's lifetime, a Participant's option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by the Participant. 10. Delivery. As promptly as practicable after each Exercise Date, the Company shall arrange for the delivery to each Participant (or the Participant's beneficiary), as appropriate, or to a custodial account for the benefit of each Participant (or the Participant's beneficiary) as appropriate, of a certificate representing the shares purchased upon exercise of such Participant's option. Any amount remaining to the credit of a Participant's account after the purchase of shares by such Participant on an Exercise Date, or which is insufficient to purchase a full share of Common Stock, shall be carried over to the next Exercise Period if the Participant continues to participate in the Plan or, if the Participant does not continue to participate, shall be returned to the Participant. 11. Withdrawal; Termination of Employment. (a) A Participant may withdraw from the Plan at any time after the Company's registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to the Plan is effective by giving written notice to the Company. All of the Plan Contributions credited to the Participant's account, if any, and not yet invested in Common Stock will be paid to the Participant as soon as administratively practicable after receipt of the Participant's notice of withdrawal, the Participant's option to purchase shares pursuant 7

to the Plan automatically will be terminated, and no further payroll deductions, if any have been authorized, for the purchase of shares will be made for the Participant's account. Payroll deductions will not resume on behalf of a Participant who has withdrawn from the Plan (a "Former Participant") unless the Former Participant enrolls in a subsequent Offering Period in accordance with Section 5(b). (b) Upon termination of the Participant's Continuous Status as an Employee prior to any Exercise Date for any reason, including retirement or death, the Plan Contributions credited to the Participant's account and not yet invested in Common Stock will be returned to the Participant or, in the case of death, to the Participant's beneficiary as determined pursuant to Section 14, and the Participant's option to purchase shares under the Plan will automatically terminate. (c) A Participant's withdrawal from an Offering Period will not have any effect upon the Participant's eligibility to participate in succeeding Offering Periods or in any similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company. (d) A Participant may elect at any time within the first thirty (30) days of any Exercise Period to receive a distribution of cash from the Plan equal to all or any portion of any amount credited to the Participant's account as a carry over, pursuant to Section 10 of the Plan, of any remaining amounts from the immediately preceding Exercise Period. A Participant who makes such election shall not be treated as having withdrawn from the Plan solely by reason of that election, and thus shall not as a result of that election be precluded from participating in the Plan for the Offering Period in which the election is made or in any subsequent Offering Period. 12. Stock. (a) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 17, the maximum number of shares of the Company's Common Stock that shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be One Million (1,000,000) shares, plus an automatic annual increase on the first day of each of the Company's fiscal years beginning in 2002 and ending in 2011 equal to the lesser of (i) Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) shares, (ii) 1% of all shares of Common Stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (iii) a lesser amount determined by the Board. Shares of Common Stock subject to the Plan may be newly issued shares or shares reacquired in private transactions or open market purchases. If and to the extent that any right to purchase reserved shares shall not be exercised by any Participant for any reason or if such right to purchase shall terminate as provided herein, shares that have not been so purchased hereunder shall again become available for the purpose of the Plan unless the Plan shall have been terminated, but all shares sold under the Plan, regardless of source, shall be counted against the limitation set forth above. (b) A Participant will have no interest or voting right in shares covered by his option until such option has been exercised. (c) Shares to be delivered to a Participant under the Plan will be registered in the name of the Participant or in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse, as requested by the Participant. 8

13. Administration. (a) The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have the authority to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. The administration, interpretation, or application of the Plan by the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (a) of this Section 13, in the event that Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act or any successor provision thereto ("Rule 16b-3") provides specific requirements for the administrators of plans of this type, the Plan shall only be administered by such body and in such a manner as shall comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3. Unless permitted by Rule 16b-3, no discretion concerning decisions regarding the Plan shall be afforded to any person that is not "disinterested" as that term is used in Rule 16b-3. (c) The Committee may adopt rules or procedures relating to the operation and administration of the Plan to accommodate the specific requirements of local laws and procedures. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding handling of payroll deductions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, payroll tax, withholding procedures and handling of stock certificates which vary with local requirements. (d) The Committee may also adopt sub-plans applicable to particular Subsidiaries or locations, which sub-plans may be designed to be outside the scope of Code Section 423. The rules of such sub-plans may take precedence over other provisions of this Plan, with the exception of Section 12(a), but unless otherwise superceded by the terms of such sub-plan, the provisions of this Plan shall govern the operation of such sub-plan. 14. Designation of Beneficiary. (a) A Participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any shares and cash, if any, from the Participant's account under the Plan in the event of the Participant's death subsequent to an Exercise Date on which the Participant's option hereunder is exercised but prior to delivery to the Participant of such shares and cash. In addition, a Participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the Participant's account under the Plan in the event of the Participant's death prior to the exercise of the option. (b) A Participant's beneficiary designation may be changed by the Participant at any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a Participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such Participant's death, the Company shall deliver such shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the Participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the Participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate. 15. Transferability. Neither Plan Contributions credited to a Participant's account nor any rights to exercise any option or receive shares of Common Stock under the Plan may be 9

assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or as provided in Section 14). Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge or other distribution shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw funds in accordance with Section 11. 16. Participant Accounts. Individual accounts will be maintained for each Participant in the Plan to account for the balance of his Plan Contributions and options issued and shares purchased under the Plan. Statements of account will be given to Participants semi-annually in due course following each Exercise Date, which statements will set forth the amounts of payroll deductions, the per share purchase price, the number of shares purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any. 17. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization; Corporate Transactions. (a) If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased or decreased, or are changed into or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares, as a result of one or more reorganizations, restructurings, recapitalizations, reclassifications, stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends or the like, upon authorization of the Committee, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number and/or kind of shares, and the per-share option price thereof, which may be issued in the aggregate and to any Participant upon exercise of options granted under the Plan. (b) In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Committee. In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, or the merger of the Company with or into another corporation (each, a "Sale Transaction"), each option under the Plan shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless the Committee determines, in the exercise of its sole discretion and in lieu of such assumption or substitution, to shorten the Exercise Period then in progress by setting a new Exercise Date (the "New Exercise Date"). If the Committee shortens the Exercise Period then in progress in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a Sale Transaction, the Committee shall notify each Participant in writing, at least ten (10) days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the exercise date for such Participant's option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that such Participant's option will be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the Participant has withdrawn from the Plan as provided in Section 11. For purposes of this Section 17(b), an option granted under the Plan shall be deemed to have been assumed if, following the Sale Transaction, the option confers the right to purchase, for each share of option stock subject to the option immediately prior to the Sale Transaction, the consideration (whether stock, cash or other securities or property) received in the Sale Transaction by holders of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock held on the effective date of the Sale Transaction (and if such holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock); provided, that if the consideration received in the Sale Transaction was not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent (as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code), the Committee may, with the consent of the successor corporation and the Participant, provide for the consideration to be received upon exercise of the option to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by the holders of Common Stock in the Sale Transaction. 10

(c) In all cases, the Committee shall have sole discretion to exercise any of the powers and authority provided under this Section 17, and the Committee's actions hereunder shall be final and binding on all Participants. No fractional shares of stock shall be issued under the Plan pursuant to any adjustment authorized under the provisions of this Section 17. 18. Amendment of the Plan. The Board or the Committee may at any time, or from time to time, amend the Plan in any respect; provided, that (i) no such amendment may make any change in any option theretofore granted which adversely affects the rights of any Participant and (ii) the Plan may not be amended in any way that will cause rights issued under the Plan to fail to meet the requirements for employee stock purchase plans as defined in Section 423 of the Code or any successor thereto. To the extent necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, Section 423 of the Code, or any other applicable law or regulation), the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any such amendment. 19. Termination of the Plan. The Plan and all rights of Employees hereunder shall terminate on the earliest of: (a) the Exercise Date that Participants become entitled to purchase a number of shares greater than the number of reserved shares remaining available for purchase under the Plan; (b) such date as is determined by the Board in its discretion; or (c) the last Exercise Date immediately preceding the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Plan's effective date. In the event that the Plan terminates under circumstances described in Section 19(a) above, reserved shares remaining as of the termination date shall be sold to Participants on a pro rata basis. 20. Notices. All notices or other communications by a Participant to the Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof. 21. Effective Date. Subject to adoption of the Plan by the Board, the Plan shall become effective on the First Offering Date. The Board shall submit the Plan to the shareholders of the Company for approval within twelve months after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. 22. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. (a) The Plan, the grant and exercise of options to purchase shares under the Plan, and the Company's obligation to sell and deliver shares upon the exercise of options to purchase shares shall be subject to compliance with all applicable federal, state and foreign laws, rules and regulations and the requirements of any stock exchange on which the shares may then be listed. (b) The Company may make such provisions as it deems appropriate for withholding by the Company pursuant to federal or state tax laws of such amounts as the Company determines it is required to withhold in connection with the purchase or sale by a Participant of any 11

Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan. The Company may require a Participant to satisfy any relevant tax requirements before authorizing any issuance of Common Stock to such Participant. 23. Expenses of the Plan. All costs and expenses incurred in administering the Plan shall be paid by the Company, except that any stamp duties or transfer taxes applicable to participation in the Plan may be charged to the account of such Participant by the Company. 24. No Employment Rights. The Plan does not, directly or indirectly, create any right for the benefit of any employee or class of employees to purchase any shares under the Plan, or create in any employee or class of employees any right with respect to continuation of employment by the Company, and it shall not be deemed to interfere in any way with the Company's right to terminate, or otherwise modify, an employee's employment at any time. 25. Applicable Law. The laws of the State of California shall govern all matter relating to this Plan except to the extent (if any) superseded by the laws of the United States. 26. Additional Restrictions of Rule 16b-3. The terms and conditions of options granted hereunder to, and the purchase of shares by, persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall comply with the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3. This Plan shall be deemed to contain, and such options shall contain, and the shares issued upon exercise thereof shall be subject to, such additional conditions and restrictions as may be required by Rule 16b-3 to qualify for the maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to Plan transactions. 12

Offering Periods. The Plan shall generally be implemented by a series of Offering Periods. The first Offering Period shall commence on the First Offering Date and end on December 31, 2003, and succeeding Offering Periods shall commence on the January 1 immediately following the end of the previous Offering Period and end on the December 31 which is 24 months thereafter. If, however, the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on any Exercise Date (except the final scheduled Exercise Date of any Offering Period) is lower than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Offering Date, then the Offering Period in progress shall end immediately following the close of trading on such Exercise Date, and a new Offering Period shall begin on the next subsequent January 1 or July 1, as applicable, and shall extend for a 24 month period ending on December 31 or June 30, as applicable. Subsequent Offering Periods shall commence on the January 1 or July 1, as applicable, immediately following the end of the previous Offering Period and shall extend for a 24 month period ending on December 31 or June 30, as applicable. The Committee shall have the power to make other changes to the duration and/or the frequency of Offering Periods with respect to future offerings if such change is announced at least five (5) days prior to the scheduled beginning of the first Offering Period to be affected. 5. Participation. (a) All Employees who are Eligible Employees as of the First Offering Date shall automatically become Participants in the Plan as of the First Offering Date, and shall be eligible to purchase shares of the Common Stock on the Exercise Date of the first Exercise Period of the initial Offering Period in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate purchase price for one thousand five hundred (1,500) shares of Common Stock or (ii) fifteen (15%) percent of the Compensation that the Participant receives during the first Exercise Period of the initial Offering Period (subject to the restrictions contained in Section 3(b) hereof), unless the Participant elects a lower level of participation as provided under Section 5(c) hereof. Such purchase shall be made by a direct lump sum cash transfer by the Participant to the Plan, unless the Participant files a payroll deduction election in accordance with Section 5(c), or withdraws from the Plan pursuant to Section 11 hereof. No enrollment agreement or payroll deduction election need be filed by a Participant with the Company in order to participate in the initial Offering Period. 4

(b) Employees meeting the eligibility requirements of Section 3 hereof after the First Offering Date may elect to participate in the Plan commencing on any Entry Date by completing an enrollment agreement on the form provided by the Company and filing the enrollment agreement with the Company on or prior to such Entry Date, unless a later time for filing the enrollment agreement is set by the Committee for all Eligible Employees with respect to a given offering. The enrollment agreement shall contain a payroll deduction election setting forth the percentage of the Participant's Compensation that is to be withheld by payroll deduction pursuant to the Plan. (c) No payroll deductions shall be made (and no payroll deduction elections shall be accepted) by the Company for Participants during the first Exercise Period of the initial Offering Period prior to the time that a registration statement with respect to the shares of Common Stock being offered under the Plan has been filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on Form S-8, and is effective. Once the Form S-8 is effective, a Participant may, but need not, make a payroll deduction election with respect to the first Exercise Period of the initial Offering Period by filing an enrollment agreement containing the payroll deduction election with the Company. A Participant may elect a lower level of participation than that provided in Section 5(a) hereof with respect to the first Exercise Period of the initial Offering Period at that time. If a payroll deduction is elected under this Section 5(c), payroll deductions may commence as early as with the first pay period beginning after the First Offering Date. Subject to the participation level specified in Section 5(a), the rate of payroll deduction during the first Exercise Period of the initial Offering Period may exceed the maximum permitted rate under Section 6(a) hereof to make up for the payroll deductions, if any, which would otherwise have been made prior to the effectiveness of the Form S-8 with respect to the Plan. If a payroll deduction election is made under this Section 5(c), payroll deductions shall continue at the rate elected by the Participant under Section 6(a) for subsequent Exercise Periods, unless the Participant makes a change permitted under Section 6(b), or withdraws from the Plan under Section 12. (d) For all Exercise Periods subsequent to the first Exercise Period of the initial Offering Period, purchases generally must be made via payroll deduction. Participants in the first Exercise Period of the initial Offering Period who do not make a payroll deduction election pursuant to Section 5(c) must file an enrollment form containing a payroll deduction election with respect to subsequent Exercise Periods with the Company prior to the commencement of a subsequent Exercise Period (unless a later time for filing is set by the Administrator for all Participants) in order to make further purchases under the Plan. Payroll deductions for Participants required to file a payroll deduction election under this Section 5(d) shall commence on the first payroll of the subsequent Exercise Period and shall end on the last payroll in the Offering Period, unless sooner terminated by the Participant as provided in Section 12. (e) Except as otherwise determined by the Committee under rules applicable to all Participants, payroll deductions for Participants enrolling in the Plan after the First Offering Date under Section 5(b) shall commence on the first payroll following the Entry Date on which the Participant files an enrollment agreement in accordance with Section 5(b) and shall end on the last payroll in the Offering Period, unless sooner terminated by the Participant as provided in Section 12. (f) Unless a Participant elects otherwise prior to the last Exercise Date of an Offering Period, including the last Exercise Date prior to termination in the case of an Offering 5

Period terminated by operation of the rule contained in Section 4 hereof, such Participant shall be deemed (i) to have elected to participate in the immediately succeeding Offering Period (and, for purposes of such Offering Period such Participant's "Entry Date" shall be deemed to be the first day of such Offering Period) and (ii) to have authorized the same payroll deduction for such immediately succeeding Offering Period as was in effect for such Participant immediately prior to the commencement of such succeeding Offering Period. 6. Plan Contributions. (a) Except with respect to the first Exercise Period of the initial Offering Period, and except as otherwise authorized by the Committee pursuant to Section 6(d) below, all contributions to the Plan shall be made only by payroll deductions. At the time a Participant files the enrollment agreement with respect to an Offering Period, the Participant may authorize payroll deductions to be made on each payroll date during the portion of the Offering Period that he or she is a Participant in an amount not less than 1% and not more than 15% of the Participant's Compensation net of any Tax on each payroll date during the portion of the Offering Period that he or she is a Participant (or subsequent Offering Periods as provided in Section 5(f)). The amount of payroll deductions shall be a whole percentage (i.e., 1%, 2%, 3%, etc.) of the Participant's Compensation net of any Tax. (b) A Participant may discontinue his or her participation in the Plan as provided in Section 11, or may decrease or increase the rate or amount of his or her payroll deductions during such Offering Period (within the limitations of Section 5(c) and 6(a) above) by completing and filing with the Company a new enrollment agreement authorizing a change in the rate or amount of payroll deductions; provided, that a Participant may not change the rate or amount of his or her payroll deductions more than once in any Exercise Period. The change in rate or amount shall be effective with the first full payroll period following ten (10) business days after the Company's receipt of the new enrollment agreement. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(b) hereof, a Participant's payroll deductions may be decreased to 0% at such time during any Exercise Period which is scheduled to end during the current calendar year that the aggregate of all payroll deductions accumulated with respect to such Exercise Period and any other Exercise Period ending within the same calendar year are equal to the product of $25,000 multiplied by the Applicable Percentage for the calendar year. Payroll deductions shall recommence at the rate provided in the Participant's enrollment agreement at the beginning of the following Exercise Period which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless terminated by the Participant as provided in Section 12. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, but subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3(b), the Committee may permit Participants to make after-tax contributions to the Plan at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may in its discretion determine. All such additional contributions shall be made in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 423 of the Code or any successor thereto, and shall be held in Participants' accounts and applied to the purchase of shares of Common Stock pursuant to options granted under this Plan in the same manner as payroll deductions contributed to the Plan as provided above. 6

(e) All Plan Contributions made for a Participant shall be deposited in the Company's general corporate account and shall be credited to the Participant's account under the Plan. No interest shall accrue or be credited with respect to a Participant's Plan Contributions. All Plan Contributions received or held by the Company may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate or otherwise set apart such Plan Contributions from any other corporate funds. 7. Grant of Option. (a) On a Participant's Entry Date, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3(b) and 13(a), the Participant shall be granted an option to purchase on each subsequent Exercise Date during the Offering Period in which such Entry Date occurs (at the Exercise Price determined as provided in Section 8 below) up to a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing such Participant's Plan Contributions accumulated prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the Participant's account as of such Exercise Date by the Exercise Price; provided, that the maximum number of shares a Participant may purchase during any Exercise Period shall be One Thousand Five Hundred (1,500) shares. The Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock shall be determined as provided in Section 7(b). (b) The Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on a given date shall be determined by the Committee in its discretion; provided, that if there is a public market for the Common Stock, the Fair Market Value per share shall be either (i) the closing price of the Common Stock on such date (or, in the event that the Common Stock is not traded on such date, on the immediately preceding trading date), as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (Nasdaq) National Market System, (ii) if such price is not reported, the average of the bid and asked prices for the Common Stock on such date (or, in the event that the Common Stock is not traded on such date, on the immediately preceding trading date), as reported by Nasdaq, (iii) in the event the Common Stock is listed on a stock exchange, the closing price of the Common Stock on such exchange on such date (or, in the event that the Common Stock is not traded on such date, on the immediately preceding trading date), as reported in The Wall Street Journal, or (iv) if no such quotations are available for a date within a reasonable time prior to the valuation date, the value of the Common Stock as determined by the Committee using any reasonable means. For purposes of the First Offering Date, the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock shall be the Price to Public as set forth in the final prospectus filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 8. Exercise Price. The Exercise Price per share of Common Stock offered to each Participant in a given Offering Period shall be the lower of: (i) the Applicable Percentage of the greater of (A) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Offering Date or (B) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Entry Date on which the Employee elects to become a Participant within the Offering Period or (ii) the Applicable Percentage of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date. The Applicable Percentage with respect to each Offering Period shall be 85%, unless and until such Applicable Percentage is increased by the Committee, in its sole discretion, provided that any such increase in the Applicable Percentage with respect to a given Offering Period must be established not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the Offering Date thereof. 7

9. Exercise of Options. Unless the Participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in Section 11, the Participant's option for the purchase of shares will be exercised automatically on each Exercise Date, and the maximum number of full shares subject to such option shall be purchased for the Participant at the applicable Exercise Price with the accumulated Plan Contributions then credited the Participant's account under the Plan. During a Participant's lifetime, a Participant's option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by the Participant. 10. Tax. (i) No Rights granted under the Plan may be exercised to any extent unless (i) the Participant has paid to the Company and/or any Designated Subsidiary the Tax liabilities which have arisen or may arise on a Trigger Event; and (ii) if requested by the Company, the Participant has paid to the Company and/or any Designated Subsidiary (collecting as agent for the Inland Revenue) any transferred employer's (secondary) class 1 National Insurance contributions pursuant to the terms of the Joint Election. 11. Delivery. As promptly as practicable after each Exercise Date, the Company shall arrange for the delivery to each Participant (or the Participant's beneficiary), as appropriate, or to a custodial account for the benefit of each Participant (or the Participant's beneficiary) as appropriate, of a certificate representing the shares purchased upon exercise of such Participant's option. Any amount remaining to the credit of a Participant's account after the purchase of shares by such Participant on an Exercise Date, or which is insufficient to purchase a full share of Common Stock, shall be carried over to the next Exercise Period if the Participant continues to participate in the Plan or, if the Participant does not continue to participate, shall be returned to the Participant. 12. Withdrawal; Termination of Employment. (a) A Participant may withdraw from the Plan at any time after the Company's registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to the Plan is effective by giving written notice to the Company. All of the Plan Contributions credited to the Participant's account, if any, and not yet invested in Common Stock will be paid to the Participant as soon as administratively practicable after receipt of the Participant's notice of withdrawal, the Participant's option to purchase shares pursuant to the Plan automatically will be terminated, and no further payroll deductions, if any have been authorized, for the purchase of shares will be made for the Participant's account. Payroll deductions will not resume on behalf of a Participant who has withdrawn from the Plan (a "Former Participant") unless the Former Participant enrolls in a subsequent Offering Period in accordance with Section 5(b). (b) Upon termination of the Participant's Continuous Status as an Employee prior to any Exercise Date for any reason, including retirement or death, the Plan Contributions credited to the Participant's account and not yet invested in Common Stock will be returned to the Participant or, in the case of death, to the Participant's beneficiary as determined pursuant to Section 15, and the Participant's option to purchase shares under the Plan will automatically terminate. 8

(c) A Participant's withdrawal from an Offering Period will not have any effect upon the Participant's eligibility to participate in succeeding Offering Periods or in any similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company. 13. Stock. (a) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 18, the maximum number of shares of the Company's Common Stock that shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be One Million (1,000,000) shares, plus an automatic annual increase on the first day of each of the Company's fiscal years beginning in 2002 and ending in 2011 equal to the lesser of (i) Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) shares, (ii) 1% of all shares of Common Stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (iii) a lesser amount determined by the Board. Shares of Common Stock subject to the Plan may be newly issued shares or shares reacquired in private transactions or open market purchases. If and to the extent that any right to purchase reserved shares shall not be exercised by any Participant for any reason or if such right to purchase shall terminate as provided herein, shares that have not been so purchased hereunder shall again become available for the purpose of the Plan unless the Plan shall have been terminated, but all shares sold under the Plan, regardless of source, shall be counted against the limitation set forth above. (b) A Participant will have no interest or voting right in shares covered by his option until such option has been exercised. (c) Shares to be delivered to a Participant under the Plan will be registered in the name of the Participant or in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse, as requested by the Participant. 14. Administration. (a) The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have the authority to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. The administration, interpretation, or application of the Plan by the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (a) of this Section 14, in the event that Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act or any successor provision thereto ("Rule 16b-3") provides specific requirements for the administrators of plans of this type, the Plan shall only be administered by such body and in such a manner as shall comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3. Unless permitted by Rule 16b-3, no discretion concerning decisions regarding the Plan shall be afforded to any person that is not "disinterested" as that term is used in Rule 16b-3. 15. Designation of Beneficiary. (a) A Participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any shares and cash, if any, from the Participant's account under the Plan in the event of the Participant's death subsequent to an Exercise Date on which the Participant's option hereunder is exercised but prior to delivery to the Participant of such shares and cash. In addition, a Participant 9

may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the Participant's account under the Plan in the event of the Participant's death prior to the exercise of the option. (b) A Participant's beneficiary designation may be changed by the Participant at any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a Participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such Participant's death, the Company shall deliver such shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the Participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the Participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate. 16. Transferability. Neither Plan Contributions credited to a Participant's account nor any rights to exercise any option or receive shares of Common Stock under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or as provided in Section 15). Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge or other distribution shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw funds in accordance with Section 12. 17. Participant Accounts. Individual accounts will be maintained for each Participant in the Plan to account for the balance of his Plan Contributions and options issued and shares purchased under the Plan. Statements of account will be given to Participants semi-annually in due course following each Exercise Date, which statements will set forth the amounts of payroll deductions, the per share purchase price, the number of shares purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any. 18. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization; Corporate Transactions. (a) If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased or decreased, or are changed into or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares, as a result of one or more reorganizations, restructurings, recapitalizations, reclassifications, stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends or the like, upon authorization of the Committee, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number and/or kind of shares, and the per-share option price thereof, which may be issued in the aggregate and to any Participant upon exercise of options granted under the Plan. (b) In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Committee. In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, or the merger of the Company with or into another corporation (each, a "Sale Transaction"), each option under the Plan shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless the Committee determines, in the exercise of its sole discretion and in lieu of such assumption or substitution, to shorten the Exercise Period then in progress by setting a new Exercise Date (the "New Exercise Date"). If the Committee shortens the Exercise Period then in progress in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a Sale Transaction, the Committee shall notify each Participant in writing, at least ten (10) days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the exercise date for such Participant's option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that such Participant's option will be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the 10

Participant has withdrawn from the Plan as provided in Section 12. For purposes of this Section 17(b), an option granted under the Plan shall be deemed to have been assumed if, following the Sale Transaction, the option confers the right to purchase, for each share of option stock subject to the option immediately prior to the Sale Transaction, the consideration (whether stock, cash or other securities or property) received in the Sale Transaction by holders of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock held on the effective date of the Sale Transaction (and if such holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock); provided, that if the consideration received in the Sale Transaction was not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent (as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code), the Committee may, with the consent of the successor corporation and the Participant, provide for the consideration to be received upon exercise of the option to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by the holders of Common Stock in the Sale Transaction. (c) In all cases, the Committee shall have sole discretion to exercise any of the powers and authority provided under this Section 18, and the Committee's actions hereunder shall be final and binding on all Participants. No fractional shares of stock shall be issued under the Plan pursuant to any adjustment authorized under the provisions of this Section 18. 19. Amendment of the Plan. The Board or the Committee may at any time, or from time to time, amend the Plan in any respect; provided, that (i) no such amendment may make any change in any option theretofore granted which adversely affects the rights of any Participant and (ii) the Plan may not be amended in any way that will cause rights issued under the Plan to fail to meet the requirements for employee stock purchase plans as defined in Section 423 of the Code or any successor thereto. To the extent necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, Section 423 of the Code, or any other applicable law or regulation), the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any such amendment. 20. Termination of the Plan. The Plan and all rights of Employees hereunder shall terminate on the earliest of: (a) the Exercise Date that Participants become entitled to purchase a number of shares greater than the number of reserved shares remaining available for purchase under the Plan; (b) such date as is determined by the Board in its discretion; or (c) the last Exercise Date immediately preceding the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Plan's effective date. In the event that the Plan terminates under circumstances described in Section 20(a) above, reserved shares remaining as of the termination date shall be sold to Participants on a pro rata basis. 21. Notices. All notices or other communications by a Participant to the Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof. 11

22. Effective Date. Subject to adoption of the Plan by the Board, the Plan shall become effective on the First Offering Date. The Board shall submit the Plan to the shareholders of the Company for approval within twelve months after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. 23. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. (a) The Plan, the grant and exercise of options to purchase shares under the Plan, and the Company's obligation to sell and deliver shares upon the exercise of options to purchase shares shall be subject to compliance with all applicable federal, state and foreign laws, rules and regulations and the requirements of any stock exchange on which the shares may then be listed. (b) The Company may make such provisions as it deems appropriate for withholding by the Company pursuant to federal or state tax laws of such amounts as the Company determines it is required to withhold in connection with the purchase or sale by a Participant of any Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan. The Company may require a Participant to satisfy any relevant tax requirements before authorizing any issuance of Common Stock to such Participant. 24. Expenses of the Plan. All costs and expenses incurred in administering the Plan shall be paid by the Company, except that any stamp duties or transfer taxes applicable to participation in the Plan may be charged to the account of such Participant by the Company. 25. No Employment Rights. The Plan does not, directly or indirectly, create any right for the benefit of any employee or class of employees to purchase any shares under the Plan, or create in any employee or class of employees any right with respect to continuation of employment by the Company, and it shall not be deemed to interfere in any way with the Company's right to terminate, or otherwise modify, an employee's employment at any time. 26. Applicable Law. The laws of the State of California shall govern all matter relating to this Plan except to the extent (if any) superseded by the laws of the United States. 27. Additional Restrictions of Rule 16b-3. The terms and conditions of options granted hereunder to, and the purchase of shares by, persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall comply with the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3. This Plan shall be deemed to contain, and such options shall contain, and the shares issued upon exercise thereof shall be subject to, such additional conditions and restrictions as may be required by Rule 16b-3 to qualify for the maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to Plan transactions. 12

(C) The Optionee is currently an employee of the Employer.

This Joint Election is made pursuant to an arrangement authorised by paragraph 3B, Schedule 1 of the SSCBA. 2. RESTRICTION ON REGISTRATION UNTIL LIABILITY PAID BY OPTIONEE The Optionee hereby agrees that no Shares shall be registered in his name until he has met the Liability as a result of a Trigger Event in accordance with this Joint Election. 3. PAYMENT 3.1 Where, in relation to an Option, the Optionee is liable, or is in accordance with current practice at the date of the Trigger Event believed by the Employer to be liable (where it is believed that the shares under option are readily convertible assets), to account to the Inland Revenue for the Liability, the Optionee and the Employer agree that, upon receipt of the funds to meet the Liability from the Employee, that such funds to meet the Liability shall be paid to the Collector of Taxes or other relevant taxation authority by the Employer on the Optionee's behalf within 14 days of the end of the income tax month in which the gain on the Option was made ("the 14 day period") and for the purposes of securing payment of the Liability the Optionee will on the occurrence of a Trigger Event: (a) pay to the Employer a cash amount equal to the Liability; and/or (b) suffer a deduction from salary or other remuneration due to the Optionee such deduction being in an amount not exceeding the Liability; and/or (c) at the request of the Company enter into such arrangement or arrangements necessary or expedient with such person or persons (including the appointment of a nominee on behalf of the Optionee) to effect the sale of Shares acquired through the exercise of an Option to cover all or any part of the Liability and use the proceeds to pay the Employer a cash amount equal to the Liability. 3.2 The Optionee hereby irrevocably appoints the Company and the Employer as his attorney with full power in his name to execute or sign any document and do any other thing which the Company or the Employer may consider desirable for the purpose of giving effect to the Optionee satisfying the Liability under clause 3.1 and satisfying any penalties and interest under clause 3.4.

In particular, the Employer and/or the Company will have the right to enter into such an - 2 -

arrangement (as envisaged by clause 3.1(c)) on the Optionee's behalf to sell sufficient of the Shares issued or transferred to the Optionee on the exercise of an Option to meet the Liability pursuant to clause 3.1 and any penalty or interest arising under clause 3.4. 3.3 The Employer shall pass all monies it has collected from the Optionee in respect of the Liability to the Collector of Taxes by no later than 14 days after the end of the income tax month in which the Trigger Event occurred. The Employer shall be responsible for any penalties or interest that may arise in respect of the Liability from any failure on its part after it has collected any monies from the Optionee to pass the Liability to the Collector of Taxes within the said 14 days period. 3.4 If the Optionee has failed to pay all or part of the Liability to the Employer within the 14 day period the Optionee hereby indemnifies the Employer against such penalties or interest that the Employer would have to pay in respect of the late payment of all or part of the Liability to the Collector of Taxes. 4.

BINDING EFFECT 7.1 The Optionee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Joint Election and for the avoidance of doubt the Optionee shall continue to be bound by the terms of this Joint Election regardless of which country the Optionee is working in when the Liability arises and regardless of whether the Optionee is an employee of the Employer when the Liability arises. 7.2 The Employer and the Company agree to be bound by the terms of this Joint Election and for the avoidance of doubt the Employer and Company shall continue to be bound by the terms of this Joint Election regardless of which country the Optionee is working in when the Liability arises and regardless of whether the Optionee is an employee of the Employer when the Liability arises. 8.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This website contains forward-looking statements that are subject to the safe harbors created under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business, and can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Such forward-looking statements may include words such as "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "believe," "estimate," "plan," "target," "strategy," "continue," "may," "will," "should," variations of such words, or other words and terms of similar meaning. All forward-looking statements reflect our best judgment and are based on several factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the risks as identified in the "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business" sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our most recent fiscal year, and other risks as identified from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports. Forward-looking statements are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we do not have, and expressly disclaim, any obligation to publicly release any updates or any changes in our expectations, or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any forward-looking statement is based. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any mergers, acquisitions, or other business combinations that had not been completed as of the date of this filing.
