RADISYS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Significant Accounting Policies

RadiSys Corporation (the “Company” or “RadiSys”) has adhered to the accounting policies set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 in preparing the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Additionally, the accompanying financial data as of March 31, 2008 and for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 has been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

The financial information included herein reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for interim periods.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts in prior years to conform to current year presentation.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, there have been no significant changes to these accounting policies except for the following:

Derivatives

During the first quarter of 2008, the Company entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce the impact of foreign currency exchange risks where natural hedging strategies cannot be effectively employed. The Company’s forward exchange contracts range from one to twelve months in original maturity.

The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The purpose of the Company’s hedging activities is to reduce the risk that the eventual cash flows of the underlying assets, liabilities and firm commitments will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. In general, the Company’s hedging activities do not create foreign currency exchange rate risk because fluctuations in the value of the instruments used for hedging purposes are offset by fluctuations in the value of the underlying exposures being hedged. Counterparties to derivative financial instruments expose the Company to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance. The Company does not believe there is a significant credit risk associated with its hedging activities because the counterparties are all large financial institutions with high credit ratings.

All derivatives, including foreign currency exchange contracts are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. When specific criteria required by SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133) have been met, changes in the fair values of hedge contracts related to anticipated transactions are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) rather than net income (loss) until the underlying hedged transaction affects net income. One of the criteria for this accounting treatment is that the forward foreign currency exchange contract amount should not be in excess of specifically identified anticipated transactions. By their nature, estimates of anticipated transactions may fluctuate over time and may ultimately vary from actual transactions. If anticipated transaction estimates or actual transaction amounts decrease below hedged levels, or when the timing of transactions change significantly, the Company would reclassify a portion of the cumulative changes in fair values of the related hedge contracts from other comprehensive income (loss) to other income (expense) during the quarter in which the changes occur.

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (SFAS 157) however the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

During 2007, the Company began to defer revenue associated with sales made to distributors brought over from its acquisition of certain assets of the Modular Communications Platform Division (“MCPD”) of Intel Corporation (“Intel”). Because of frequent sales price reductions and rapid technology obsolescence in the industry, sales made to some distributors under agreements allowing price protection and/or right of return are deferred until the distributors sell the merchandise. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company entered into new arrangements with its significant distributors servicing the MCPD business. For a few of these distributors, the Company eliminated some of the price adjustment programs. For new MCPD distributors, where the Company can estimate price protection, revenue has been recognized upon sale to the distributor. For those distributors where price adjustment programs remain in place, the Company will continue to defer revenue until the distributors sell the merchandise.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133,” (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities, including (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This standard becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. Earlier adoption of SFAS 161 and, separately, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption are encouraged. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures, which will be provided in the Company’s 2008 Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 2 — Investments

Short-term and long-term investments consisted of the following (in thousands):

 

     March 31,
2008
   December 31,
2007

Short-term available for sale investments

   $ —      $ 72,750
             

Long-term available for sale investments

   $ 59,305    $ —  
             

The Company invests excess cash in auction rate securities (“ARS”), which are highly rated debt instruments with a long-term nominal maturity for which the interest rate is set through a “Dutch Auction” process. The majority of the Company’s ARS investments represent interests in collateralized debt obligations supported by pools of government-backed student loans with S&P AAA or Moody’s Aaa ratings at the time of purchase. These investments have been classified as available-for-sale investments. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value, and unrealized holding gains and losses are recorded, net of tax, as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, there were no unrealized or realized gains or losses on the sales of available-for-sale investments.

Between December 31, 2007 and February 7, 2008, the Company sold at par value $10.0 million in ARS of the total ARS balance of $72.8 million which was held at December 31,2007. During the first quarter of 2008, due to liquidity issues experienced in the global credit and capital markets, the Company’s entire remaining portfolio of ARS investments experienced multiple failed auctions as the amount of securities submitted for sale exceeded the amount of purchase orders. The Company will not be able to liquidate the investments until a successful auction occurs, a buyer is found outside the auction process, the securities are called or refinanced by the issuer or the securities mature. Due to the uncertainty of when it will be able to liquidate the investments, the Company has reclassified the investments to long-term assets.

The Company’s recorded the ARS at fair value in accordance with SFAS 157. SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company’s investment bank developed a model that estimated the fair value of its ARS, which is considered Level 3 under SFAS 157. The model weighted various factors, including the issuer’s credit quality, maturity, probability to be called, lack of liquidity, future cash flows based on maximum rate formulas and comparable securities of the issuer, if any. As of March 31, 2008, based on information provided by the investment bank and the Company’s own analysis the Company determined that its investments

Table of Contents

were impaired by 5.5% or $3.4 million, primarily due to the lack of liquidity. The Company believes declines in ARS fair values due to the lack of liquidity to be temporary as it has the ability and intent to hold these investments until they are sold or are called by the issuer at par. As such the Company did not consider the impairment to be permanent and recorded an unrealized loss of $3.4 million gross, $2.2 million net of tax, under other comprehensive income in the shareholders’ equity section of the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2008.

Note 3 — Accounts Receivable and Other Receivables

Accounts receivable consists of trade accounts receivable. Accounts receivable balances consisted of the following (in thousands):

 

     March 31,
2008
    December 31,
2007
 

Accounts receivable, gross

   $ 57,122     $ 71,432

Accounts receivable, net

   $ 56,212     $ 70,548  
                

The Company recorded additional provisions of $38,000 for allowance for doubtful accounts during the three months ended March 31, 2008. The Company recorded no additional provisions for allowance for doubtful accounts during the three months ended March 31, 2007.

As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the balance in other receivables was $2.4 million and $2.7 million, respectively. Other receivables consisted primarily of non-trade receivables including receivables for inventory sold to the Company’s contract manufacturing partners. Sales to the Company’s contract manufacturing partners are based on terms and conditions similar to the terms offered to the Company’s regular customers. There is no revenue recorded associated with non-trade receivables.

Note 4 — Inventories

Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

 

     March 31,

During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded provisions for excess and obsolete inventory of $797,000 and $1.8 million, respectively.

Note 5 — Long-lived Assets Held for Sale

Beginning in 2001, RadiSys made it part of its strategic plan to significantly reduce its costs. As part of its plan to reduce costs, RadiSys began in 2004 to outsource the manufacture of most of its products. Through various restructuring activities, facilities requirements for manufacturing and other activities in the Hillsboro, Oregon location have decreased significantly. As a result, management decided to transfer operations currently located in one of the Company’s buildings in Hillsboro, Oregon (“DC3 building”) to its other building located in Hillsboro, Oregon and its contract manufacturing partners.

In January 2006, RadiSys vacated the DC3 building and put it and the surrounding land, which had previously been held for future expansion, on the market for sale. The assets held for sale had a recorded value of $3.5 million, which included land with a value of $2.2 million, building and building improvements with a net value of $1.3 million, and machinery and equipment with a net value of $38,000. The Company classified this facility in net assets held for sale as of January 31, 2006, and as a result ceased depreciation of these assets.

In the second quarter of 2007, the Company sold the DC3 building for $2.2 million resulting in a gain of $135,000 included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. During the third quarter of 2007, the

The total accrued restructuring charges for each restructuring event are not affected by reclassifications. Reversals are recorded in the period in which the Company determines that expected restructuring obligations are less than the amounts accrued.

Fourth Quarter 2006 Restructuring

During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company initiated a restructuring plan that included the elimination of 12 positions primarily supporting the Company’s contract manufacturing operations as a result of the termination of the relationship with one of the Company’s contract manufacturers in North America. The restructuring plan also includes closing the Charlotte, North Carolina manufacturing support office. The Company expects this office closure to be completed by December 31, 2008.

The changes involved creating an integrated structure with the media server business along with some skill set changes in certain selling, general and administrative and engineering groups. The costs incurred in this restructuring event include employee severance and medical benefits, and associated legal costs. All restructuring activities were completed by March 31, 2008.

Note 7 — Short-Term Borrowings

The Company currently holds a line of credit facility of $20.0 million at its investment bank. This line of credit facility has an interest rate based on the 30-day London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 0.75%. The line of credit is collateralized by the Company’s non-equity investments. The market value of non-equity investments must exceed 125.0% of the borrowed facility amount. At March 31, 2008, the Company had a standby letter of credit outstanding related to one of its medical insurance carriers for $105,000. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, there were no outstanding balances on the standby letter of credit or line of credit.

Note 8 — Convertible Debt

2023 Convertible Senior Notes

During November 2003, the Company completed a private offering of $100 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.375% convertible senior notes due November 15, 2023 (the “2023 convertible senior notes”) to qualified institutional buyers. The discount at issuance on the 2023 convertible senior notes amounted to $3 million.

Convertible senior notes are unsecured obligations convertible into the Company’s common stock and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future obligations that are unsecured and unsubordinated. Interest on the 2023 convertible senior notes accrues at 1.375% per year and is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15. The notes are convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time on or prior to maturity under certain circumstances unless previously redeemed or repurchased, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $23.57 per share, which is equal to a conversion rate of 42.4247 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes. The notes are convertible if (i) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day prior to the conversion date reaches 120% or more of the conversion price of the notes on such trading date, (ii) the trading price of the notes falls below 98% of the conversion value or (iii) certain other events occur. Upon conversion, the Company will have the right to deliver, in lieu of common stock, cash or a combination of cash and common stock. The Company may redeem all or a portion of the notes at its option on or after November 15, 2006 but before November 15, 2008 provided that the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day before the date of the notice of the provisional redemption. On or after November 15, 2008, the Company may redeem the notes at any time. On November 15, 2008, November 15, 2013, and November 15, 2018, holders of the 2023 convertible senior notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase, in cash, all or any part of the notes held by such holder at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being purchased, together with accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, up to but excluding the purchase date. The accretion of the discount on the notes is calculated using the effective interest method.

As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had outstanding 2023 convertible senior notes with a face value of $47.5 million and $100 million, and a book value of $46.4 million and $97.5 million, net of unamortized discount of $1.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively. Amortization of the discount on the 2023 convertible senior notes was $29,000 and $34,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The estimated fair value of the 2023 convertible senior notes was $46.4 million and $99.8 million at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2008, the Company repurchased $52.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 convertible senior notes, with an associated discount of $1.3 million. The Company repurchased the notes in the open market for $51.1 million and, as a result, recorded a gain of $68,000.

2013 Convertible Senior Notes

On February 6, 2008, the Company offered and sold in a public offering pursuant to the shelf registration statement $55.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75% convertible senior notes due 2013 (the “2013 convertible senior notes”). Interest is payable semi-annually, in arrears, on each August 15 and February 15, beginning on August 15, 2008, to the holders of record at the close of business on the preceding August 1 and February 1, respectively. The 2013 convertible senior notes mature on February 15, 2013. Holders of the 2013 convertible senior notes may convert their notes into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock determined as set forth in the indenture governing the notes at their option on any day to and including the business day prior to the maturity date. The 2013 convertible senior notes are initially convertible into 76.7448 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes (which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $13.03 per share), subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, holders of the 2013 convertible senior notes may require the Company to repurchase some or all of their notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, if certain fundamental changes occur, the Company may be required in certain circumstances to increase the conversion rate for any 2013 convertible senior notes converted in connection with such fundamental changes by a specified number of shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2013 convertible senior notes are the Company’s general unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment to all of its existing and future senior indebtedness, including the Company’s 2023 convertible senior notes, and senior in right of payment to the Company’s future subordinated debt. The Company’s obligations under the 2013 convertible senior notes are not guaranteed by, and are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future obligations of, its subsidiaries and are effectively subordinated in right of payment to its future secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing such debt.

Table of Contents

In connection with the issuance of the 2013 convertible senior notes, the Company entered into a capped call transaction with a hedge counterparty. The capped call transaction is expected to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the 2013 convertible senior notes in the event that the market value per share of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transaction, at the time of exercise is greater than the strike price of the capped call transaction of approximately $13.03, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2013 convertible senior notes and is subject to certain adjustments similar to those contained in the notes. If, however, the market value per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds the cap price of the capped call transaction of $23.085, as measured under the terms of the capped call transaction, the dilution mitigation under the capped call transaction will be limited, which means that there would be dilution to the extent that the then market value per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds the cap price of the capped call transaction.

As of March 31, 2008, the Company had outstanding 2013 convertible senior notes with a face value and fair value of $55.0 million and $55.3 million, respectively. The cost of the capped call transaction was approximately $10.2 million and was recorded as a charge to shareholders’ equity.

The aggregate maturities of long-term liabilities for each of the years in the five year period ending December 31, 2012 and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

(A) The Company may redeem the 2023 convertible senior notes at any time on or after November 15, 2008. On November 15, 2008, November 15, 2013, and November 15, 2018, holders of the 2023 convertible senior notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase, in cash, all or any part of the notes held by such holder at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being purchased, together with accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, up to but excluding the purchase date.

Note 9 — Commitments and Contingencies

Adverse Purchase Commitments

The Company is contractually obligated to reimburse its contract manufacturers for the cost of excess inventory used in the manufacture of the Company’s products, if there is no alternative use. This liability, referred to as adverse purchase commitments, is provided for in other accrued liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets. Estimates for adverse purchase commitments are derived from reports received on a quarterly basis from the Company’s contract manufacturers. Increases to this liability are charged to cost of goods sold. When and if the Company takes possession of inventory reserved for in this liability, the liability is transferred from other accrued liabilities to the excess and obsolete inventory valuation allowance. Adverse purchase commitments amounted to $2.4 million and $1.9 million at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded a net provision for adverse purchase commitments of $747,000 and $488,000, respectively.

Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations

As permitted under Oregon law, the Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers, directors and certain finance employees for certain events or occurrences while the officer, director or employee is or was serving in such capacity at the request of the Company. The term of the indemnification period is for the officer’s, director’s or employee’s lifetime. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however,

 

12


Table of Contents

the Company has a director and officer insurance policy that limits its exposure and enables the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. To date, the Company has not incurred any costs associated with these indemnification agreements and, as a result, management believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any liabilities for these agreements as of March 31, 2008.

The Company enters into customary indemnification agreements in its ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally the Company’s business partners or customers, in connection with patent, copyright or other intellectual property infringement claims by any third party with respect to the Company’s current products, as well as claims relating to property damage or personal injury resulting from the performance of services by us or the Company’s subcontractors. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is generally limited. Historically, the Company’s costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims relating to such indemnity agreements have been minimal and accordingly management believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is immaterial.

The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time it recognizes revenue. Products are generally sold with warranty coverage for a period of 24 months after shipment. Parts and labor are covered under the terms of the warranty agreement. The workmanship of the Company’s products produced by contract manufacturers is covered under warranties provided by the contract manufacturer for a specified period of time ranging from 12 to 15 months. The warranty provision is based on historical experience by product family. The Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its components suppliers; however, ongoing failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting product failure, as well as specific product class failures out of the Company’s baseline experience affect the estimated warranty obligation. If actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.

The following is a summary of the change in the Company’s warranty accrual reserve (in thousands):

(A) For the three months ended March 31, 2008, interest on the convertible senior notes and as-if converted shares associated with the convertible senior notes were excluded from the calculation as the effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, interest on the 2023 convertible senior notes and as-if converted shares associated with the 2023 convertible senior notes and the Company’s previously outstanding convertible subordinated notes were excluded from the calculation as the effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the total number of as-if converted shares associated with the convertible subordinated notes was 36,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the total number of as-if converted shares associated with the 2023 convertible senior notes was 3.4 million and 4.2 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the total number of as-if converted shares associated with the 2013 convertible senior notes was 2.1 million.

 

(B) For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, options amounting to 3.6 million and 3.0 million shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculation as the Company was in a loss position and the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Note 11 — Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the Canada research and experimental development claims, the federal research and experimental tax credits, the impact of stock option expense under SFAS 123R, the amortization of goodwill for tax purposes and the discrete items related to the revaluation of certain net deferred tax assets due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and taxes on foreign income that differ from U.S. tax rate.

The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $57,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 primarily due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and foreign tax rates. The Company’s liability for potential interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions increased by $32,000 during the quarter and the ending balance for this liability at March 31, 2008 was $659,000. The Company does not anticipate that the total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change due to the settlement of examinations within the next twelve months. The unrecognized tax benefits including accrued interest and penalties anticipated to be recognized due to the expiration of statute of limitations within the next twelve months are $345,000.

Note 12 — Stock-based Compensation

During the first quarter of 2008, 445,000 stock options and 162,000 restricted stock units were issued to employees under the 2007 Stock Plan.

Note 13 — Hedging

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company entered into forward exchange contracts, designated as foreign-currency cash flow hedges, to reduce the potentially adverse effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations that occur in the normal course of business.

These derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value. Unrealized gain positions are recorded as other current assets and unrealized loss positions are recorded as other current liabilities as all maturity dates are less than one year. Changes in the fair values of the outstanding derivatives that are highly effective are recorded in other comprehensive income until net income is affected by the variability of the cash flows of the hedged transaction. Changes in the fair values of the derivatives not effective as

 

14


Table of Contents

hedging instruments are recognized in earnings in the current period. Results of hedges are recorded in the expense line item being hedged, which is primarily R&D, when the underlying hedged transaction affects net income (loss).

The Company assesses, both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of hedged items and whether those derivatives are expected to remain highly effective in future periods.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company had net foreign exchange hedge-related transaction gains of $42,000. As of March 31, 2008, the Company had forward contracts of $5.8 million that mature monthly over the next ten months. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company had deferred net unrealized losses on outstanding derivatives recorded as other comprehensive loss of $26,000 (excluding tax effect). These amounts are expected to be reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) to other income (expense) within the next twelve months. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company had no ineffective hedges because forward foreign currency contract amounts were less than the specifically identified anticipated transactions.

Note 14 — Segment Information

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” (“SFAS 131). SFAS 131 establishes standards for the reporting by public business enterprises of information about operating segments, products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The method for determining what information to report is based upon the way that management organizes the segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The Company is one operating segment according to the provisions of SFAS 131.

Note 15 — Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, the Company may become involved in litigation. As of March 31, 2008, RadiSys had no pending litigation.

Note 16 — Acquisition

On September 12, 2007, RadiSys completed its Acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of certain assets of the MCPD, including products in the Advanced Telecommunications Architecture (ATCA) and compact PCI lines, of Intel for $31.8 million in cash at closing. The total preliminary purchase price of the Acquisition, which consists of the cash paid at closing and the estimated direct acquisition-related expenses of $282,000, is currently estimated to be $32.0 million and has been accounted for as a business combination using the purchase method under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”). Any additional direct expenses will be recorded as additional goodwill.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

In accordance with the purchase method of accounting as prescribed by SFAS 141, the Company allocated the preliminary purchase price to the net tangible and identifiable intangibles assets, based on their estimated fair values. If information becomes available to the Company prior to the end of the purchase price allocation period or one year from the acquisition date, which would indicate that it is probable that such contingencies had existed and the amounts can be reasonably estimated, such items will be included in the final purchase price allocation. The preliminary purchase price has been allocated as follows (in thousands):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction and Overview

RadiSys Corporation is a leading provider of advanced embedded solutions for the communications networking and commercial systems markets. Through innovative product planning, intimate customer collaboration, and the combination of innovative technologies and industry leading architecture, we help original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), systems integrators and solution providers bring better products to market faster and more economically. Our products include embedded boards, application enabling platforms and turn-key systems, which are used in today’s complex computing, processing and network intensive applications. Unless context otherwise requires, or as otherwise indicated, “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms, as well as references to the “Company” and “RadiSys” refer to RadiSys Corporation and include all of our consolidated subsidiaries.

Our Markets

We provide application enabling solutions to the following two distinct markets:

 

   

Communications Networking — The communications networking market consists primarily of networking infrastructure and applications for deployment within the wireless and IP networking and messaging markets. Applications in these markets include 2, 2.5 and 3G wireless infrastructure products, IP media server platforms, packet-based switches, unified messaging solutions, voice messaging, multimedia messaging, video distribution, network access, security and switching applications.

 

   

Commercial Systems — The commercial systems market includes the following sub-markets: medical systems, military equipment, test and measurement equipment, transaction terminals and industrial automation equipment. Examples of products that incorporate our commercial embedded solutions include ultrasound equipment, X-Ray machines, MRI scanners, immunodiagnostics and hematology systems, CAT scan imaging equipment, network and production test equipment, consumer transaction terminals, semiconductor manufacturing equipment and electronics assembly equipment.

Market Drivers

We believe there are a number of fundamental drivers for growth in the embedded solutions market, including:

 

   

Increasing desire by OEMs to utilize standards-based, merchant-supplied modular building blocks and platforms to develop their new systems. We believe OEMs are combining their internal development efforts with merchant-supplied building blocks and platforms from partners like RadiSys to deliver a larger number of more valuable new products to market faster at a lower total cost.

 

   

Increasing usage levels of general purpose technologies, such as Ethernet, IP, Linux, media processing and central processing units (“CPUs”), graphics processing units and network processing units (“NPUs”), to provide programmable, intelligent and networked functionality to a wide variety of applications, including wireless, wireline and data communications, network security, image processing, transaction and monitoring and control.

 

   

Increasing demand for standards-based solutions, such as ATCA, Session Initiation Protocol, IP Multimedia Subsystem and Computer-on-Module Express (“COM Express”), which motivates system makers to take advantage of proven and validated standards-based products.

Our Solutions

We provide our customers with standards-based and perfect fit (custom) advanced embedded solutions that enable them to focus their resources and development efforts on their key areas of differentiation and allow them to provide higher value systems with a time-to-market advantage and a lower total cost.

Table of Contents

Key benefits of our solutions include:

Broad portfolio of embedded solution products. Our product lines include a large portfolio of embedded solutions, integrated platforms and turnkey systems. Our product portfolio allows us to address a range of customer requirements and applications. We believe that over time many of our customers will increasingly rely on a smaller set of vendors who can address a broader set of their embedded solution needs.

Deep pool of technical resources. Our research and development staff has extensive experience in designing embedded hardware and software solutions. Our customers benefit from the broad array of standards-based solutions that our R&D staff continues to develop and support, as well as our staff’s experience in designing perfect fit solutions for our customers.

Reduced time to market. We offer standards-based, ready-made solutions such as ATCA-based solutions for the communications networking market and COM Express solutions for the commercial market. These standards-based solutions combined with our strong technical resources provide our OEM customers with more flexibility and reduced time-to-market than if they developed these solutions internally.

Leading, high-performance technology. We have been the first to market with many technological advancements such as the industry’s first 10-Gigabit common managed platform, and we are a leader in areas such as IP conferencing and COM Express new product development. Our design capabilities extend to CPUs, NPUs, digital signal processing and integrated software managed platforms, such as media and application servers, as well as many other areas.

Our Strategy

Build market leadership in standards-based advanced embedded solutions in our target markets. We believe this strategy enables our customers to focus their resources and development efforts on their key areas of competency allowing them to provide higher value systems with a time-to-market advantage and a lower total cost. We are currently one of the leading vendors in ATCA and COM Express embedded solutions, as well as IP Media Servers. We intend to continue to invest significant research and development and sales and marketing resources to build our presence in these market segments.

Develop our offering of higher value platform solutions. Historically, the majority of our revenues have been from the sale of boards or blades. While we will continue to focus on these product segments, we are also spending considerable resources developing turnkey platform solutions that incorporate complete hardware systems as well as embedded software developed by us or third parties. These platforms provide an additional revenue opportunity for us, and we believe revenues from these products have the potential to generate higher average selling prices and higher gross margins than those provided from the sale of boards or blades.

Expand our global customer base. We continue to expand the number of customers that we work with, particularly as more customers become aware of the benefits of standards-based embedded solutions. Our global reach allows us to market our solutions to most leading system vendors in our target markets. In addition, our acquisitions of Convedia Corporation (“Convedia”) and certain assets of the modular communications platform division (“MCPD”) business from Intel Corporation (“Intel”) provide us access to additional customers to whom we intend to market our full product line.

Explore new partnerships and strategic acquisitions as a means to build leadership in our target markets. We continue to investigate partnerships and strategic relationships which can expand the number of solutions we offer and increase our market reach. We also continue to evaluate potential acquisition opportunities to acquire new capabilities, which can help us achieve our strategic goals. For example, in the last two years, we have acquired Convedia, a closely-held vendor of IP media servers, and the MCPD business, including products in the ATCA and compact PCI lines, of Intel.

In the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations, we intend to provide information that will assist in understanding our consolidated financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from year to year, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this filing and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Certain statements made in this section of the report are forward-looking statements. Please see the information contained herein under the sections entitled “Forward-looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.”

Overview

Promentum® During the first quarter of 2008, we introduced two new products in our Promentum® ATCA product portfolio. First was the Promentum® ATCA-4310, a 10 Gigabit AdvancedTCA single-slot processor blade. We believe this product provides enhanced features for compute-intensive applications where transaction and subscriber load can increase dramatically in short intervals, such as IMS, IPTV and Wireless Control Plan based applications. The second was the Promentum® ATCA-7220 Dual OCTEON™ PLUS Packet Processing Module, the industry’s first blade to enable highest density of Gigabit Ethernet interfaces in a single slot with significantly higher processing power and bandwidth access when compared to other platforms available today.

Procelerant®During the first quarter of 2008, we introduced two new products in our Procelerant® portfolio. First was the Procelerant® Quad-core server, the industry’s first embedded server to incorporate the latest Intel® Quad-core Xeon® processors. Intended for medical and other imaging, test and measurement, and other digital signal processing applications, the Procelerant® RMS420-5000XSL Quad-core server supports superior image processing at a higher resolution and with greater speed compared to previous embedded servers. Second was the Procelerant® CE945GM2A COM Express module that targets value-priced industrial automation, gaming and test and measurement applications. The Procelerant® CE945GM2A replaces older ETX technology at a comparable price point, enabling high-speed serial interface options such as PCI Express, Serial ATA (SATA) and gigabit ethernet.

Financial Results — Total revenue was $86.0 million and $66.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Backlog was approximately $36.5 million and $33.8 million at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Backlog includes all purchase orders scheduled for delivery within 12 months. The increase in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 is primarily due to the addition of MCPD revenues, higher wireless revenues, higher next generation ATCA and media server revenues, partially offset by lower levels of revenue to our legacy enterprise customers in the IP networking and messaging submarket.

Net loss was $6.3 million and $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Net loss per share was $0.28 and $0.25 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Net loss increased from 2007 to 2008 due to a combination of factors. The addition of our MCPD business led to increased amortization of intangible assets, R&D and SG&A expenses as well as integration costs. This is offset by increased revenue and associated gross margin primarily attributable to the addition of our MCPD business. Another large contributing factor leading to the increased loss was the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar compared to the Canadian Dollar during the first quarter of 2008 resulting in a decrease in our deferred tax assets stated in Canadian Dollars.

Cash and cash equivalents and investments amounted to $118.3 million and $123.3 million at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents and investments during the three months ended March 31, 2008, is primarily due to the repurchase of $52.5 million of our 2023 senior convertible notes offset partially by net proceeds from the issuance of our 2013 convertible senior notes of $42.4 million. The decrease is also due to an impairment charge of $3.4 million recognized during the quarter to reflect our auction rate securities (“ARS”) at fair value. These decreases were partially offset by the cash provided by operating activities during the quarter of $8.1 million.

Convertible Debt — On February 6, 2008, we offered and sold in a public offering pursuant to a shelf registration statement $55.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2013 convertible senior notes. In connection with the issuance of the 2013 convertible senior notes, we entered into a capped call transaction with a hedge counterparty. The net proceeds from the sale of the 2013 convertible senior notes were approximately $42.4 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, estimated offering expenses and the cost of the capped call transaction.

Also during the first quarter of 2008, we repurchased $52.5 million aggregate principal amount of our 2023 convertible senior notes, with an associated discount of $1.3 million. The Company repurchased the notes in the open market for $51.1 million and, as a result, recorded a gain of $68,000.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We reaffirm our critical accounting policies and use of estimates as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. There have been no significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2008 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 except as follows.

Revenue Recognition

During 2007, we began to defer revenue associated with sales made to distributors brought over from our acquisition of certain MCPD assets of Intel. Because of frequent sales price reductions and rapid technology obsolescence in the industry, sales made to some distributors under agreements allowing price protection and/or right of return are deferred until the distributors sell the merchandise. During the first quarter of 2008, we entered into new arrangements with our significant distributors servicing the MCPD business. For a few of these distributors, we eliminated some of the price adjustment programs. For new MCPD distributors, where we can estimate price protection, revenue has been recognized upon sale to the distributor. For those distributors where price adjustment programs remain in place, we will continue to defer revenue until the distributors sell the merchandise.

Our revenue reporting for these distributors is highly dependent on receiving pertinent and accurate data from our distributors in a timely fashion. Distributors provide us periodic data regarding the product, price, quantity, and end customer when products are resold as well as the quantities of our products they still have in stock. We must use estimates and apply judgments to reconcile distributors’ reported inventories to their activities. Any error in our judgment could lead to inaccurate reporting of our revenues, deferred income and allowances on sales to distributors, and net income.

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007

Revenues. Revenues increased by $19.2 million or 28.7%, from $66.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $86.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 is due to an increase in revenues in the communications networking and commercial systems markets of $17.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

Revenues in the communications networking market increased in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 primarily due to the addition of MCPD revenues, higher wireless revenues, higher next generation ATCA and media server revenues, partially offset by lower levels of revenue to our legacy enterprise customers in the IP networking and messaging submarket as some of these products approach end of life.

Revenues in the commercial systems market increased in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007, primarily due to increased revenues with our new COM Express® and rack-mount server products in addition to increased revenues associated with new custom products for military applications. These increases were partially offset by decreases to

Table of Contents

transaction terminal customers and industrial automation customers. The decrease in revenues associated with the transaction terminal customer is primarily attributable to a particular set of mother board products nearing the end of their life cycle.

Given the dynamics of these markets, we may experience general fluctuations in the percentage of revenue attributable to each market and, as a result, the quarter to quarter comparisons of our markets often are not indicative of overall economic trends affecting the long-term performance of our markets. We currently expect that each of our markets will continue to represent a significant portion of total revenues. We currently expect revenues to increase during the second quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2008 as we expect wireless revenues to increase. Revenues for the second quarter of 2008 are also expected to increase compared to the second quarter of 2007 with the addition of MCPD revenues. We also expect total 2008 revenues will increase over the prior year.

From a geographic perspective, for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 the percentage of non-US revenues by delivery destination increased as a percentage of total revenues. Revenues as measured by destination in the Asia Pacific and EMEA regions increased by $13.0 million and $6.1 million, respectively. The increase in revenues in the Asia Pacific region is primarily due to the addition of MCPD revenues. The increase in revenues to the EMEA region is primarily due to higher wireless revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 revenues from North America remained flat compared to the same periods in 2007. This is primarily due to the addition of MCPD revenues offset by decreases in North American IP networking and messaging submarket revenues. We currently expect continued fluctuations in the percentage of revenue from each geographic region.

Gross Margin. Gross margins as a percentage of revenues were 22.7% and 24.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. This decrease is primarily due to increased amortization of purchased technology of $881,000. The decrease is also due to integration costs associated with the acquisition of the MCPD business. We currently expect our gross margin percentage to be up in the second quarter of 2008 due to continued strength in our new products as well as the completion of the acquisition transition services expenses at the end of the first quarter.

Research and Development. R&D expenses consist primarily of salary, bonuses and benefits for product development staff, and cost of design and development supplies and equipment, net of reimbursements for nonrecurring engineering services. R&D expenses increased $1.9 million, or 17.3%, from $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $12.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This increase is primarily due to the addition of the MCPD business, which includes increased headcount and integration expenses and additional $210,000 of stock-based compensation expense compared to the same period in 2007. We also had increased incentive compensation costs offset by a decrease in deferred compensation expense of $160,000. We currently anticipate R&D expense to be about flat from the first to the second quarter of 2008.

Selling, General, and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consist primarily of salary, commissions, bonuses and benefits for sales, marketing, executive and administrative personnel, as well as professional services and costs of other general corporate activities. SG&A expenses increased by $1.4 million or 12.4%, from $11.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $12.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This increase is primarily due to the addition of the MCPD business, which includes increased headcount and integration expenses, as well as an additional $114,000 of stock-based compensation expense compared to the same period in 2007 offset by a decrease in deferred compensation expense of $282,000. We currently anticipate SG&A expense for the second quarter of 2008 to be down slightly from the first quarter.

Stock-based Compensation Expense. Stock-based compensation expense consists of amortization of stock-based compensation associated with stock options and restricted stock unvested and outstanding on January 1, 2006 and new stock options, restricted stock and ESPP shares granted for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Stock-based compensation expense increased by $306,000 or 13.7%, from $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase is primarily due to the diminishing benefit associated with the 2004 acceleration of employee stock options. We currently anticipate stock-based compensation expense to increase slightly in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2008.

We recognized stock-based compensation expense as follows (in thousands):

Deferred Compensation Expense. On September 1, 2006, all outstanding Convedia stock options vested and were considered exercised immediately. The proceeds of which were distributed as follows: 75% of the purchase price per share less the exercise price was paid to the option holder at closing and the remaining 25% will be paid in full to those Convedia employees still employed by RadiSys after one year of service. The 75% paid at the time of the acquisition is included in the purchase price and is allocated to goodwill. The remaining 25% is recorded as deferred compensation and amortized through the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the life of the asset (one year). Pursuant to the purchase agreement any forfeitures are reallocated to the remaining Convedia employees. We paid the remaining 25% of the proceeds calculation on September 30, 2007.

Intangible Assets Amortization. Intangible assets consist of purchased technology, patents and other identifiable intangible assets. Intangible assets amortization expense included within operating expenses was $1.3 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Intangible assets amortization increased due to intangible assets acquired with the purchase of the MCPD business. We perform reviews for impairment of the purchased intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Restructuring and Other Charges. We evaluate the adequacy of the accrued restructuring and other charges on a quarterly basis. As a result, we record certain reclassifications and reversals to the accrued restructuring and other charges based on the results of the evaluation. The total accrued restructuring and other charges for each restructuring event are not affected by reclassifications. Reversals are recorded in the period in which we determine that expected restructuring and other obligations are less than the amounts accrued. Tables summarizing the activity in the accrued liability for each restructuring event are contained in Note 6 — Accrued Restructuring and Other Charges of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fourth Quarter 2006 Restructuring. During the fourth quarter of 2006, we initiated a restructuring plan that included the elimination of 12 positions primarily supporting our contract manufacturing operations as a result of the termination of our relationship with one of our contract manufacturers in North America. The restructuring plan also includes closing our Charlotte office. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we incurred additional severance and other employee-related separation costs of $61,000 offset by reversals of $100,000 associated with three employees that found new positions within the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recorded $5,000 of amortization associated with the closing of our Charlotte office.

Interest Expense. Interest expense includes interest incurred on the convertible senior notes. Interest expense increased $151,000, or 35.0%, from $432,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $583,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in the interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 is due to the issuance of $55.0 million of our 2013 convertible senior notes on February 6, 2008 with an interest rate of 2.75% partially offset by the repurchase of $52.5 million of our 2023 convertible senior notes during the quarter with an interest rate of 1.375%.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased $325,000, or 20.0%, from $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Interest income decreased as a result of a lower average balance of cash, cash equivalents and investments for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 due primarily to the purchase of the MCPD business. This decrease was also due to decreasing interest rates in the market. We expect additional decreases in interest income in the second quarter of 2008 due to lower reset interest rates associated with our ARS.

Other Income (Expense), Net. Other income (expense), net, primarily includes foreign currency exchange gains and losses. Other income (expense), net, was $155,000 and $(56,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations resulted in a net gain of $125,000 and a net loss of 15,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

In addition to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, other income (expense) includes losses associated with our deferred compensation plan of $41,000 and $36,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Also, during the three

Table of Contents

months ended March 31, 2008, we repurchased $52.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 convertible senior notes resulting in a gain of $68,000.

Income Tax Benefit. We recorded tax benefits of $22,000 and $780,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We expect the effective tax rate for the year ending December 31, 2008 to be a low to mid single digit percentage compared to 25.5% for the year ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in the effective tax rate between 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007 is primarily due to discrete items related to the revaluation of certain net deferred tax assets due to changes in Canadian currency exchange rates and Canadian statutory tax rates.

The Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 extended the research and development tax credit through December 31, 2007. We have not recognized a tax benefit for the federal research and development tax credit in our tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2008. If the research and development tax credit is extended through December 31, 2008, we will evaluate the tax benefit at that time.

The 2008 estimated effective tax rate is based on current tax law and the current expected income and assumes that we continue to receive the tax benefits associated with certain income associated with foreign jurisdictions. The tax rate may be affected by potential acquisitions, restructuring events or divestitures, the jurisdictions in which profits are determined to be earned and taxed and the ability to realize deferred tax assets.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, we used $2.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for capital expenditures. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, capital expenditures were primarily associated with integrating the MCPD business and upgrading our internal infrastructure. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, capital expenditures were primarily associated with integrating the media server business, upgrading our internal infrastructure as well as increasing manufacturing capabilities in our Hillsboro facility.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, we received $1.3 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock through our stock compensation plans.

Changes in foreign currency rates impacted beginning cash balances during the three months ended March 31, 2008 by $284,000. Due to our international operations where transactions are recorded in functional currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on existing cash balances during any given period results in amounts on the consolidated statements of cash flows that may not reflect the changes in the corresponding accounts on the consolidated balance sheets.

As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 working capital was $44.5 million and $61.8 million, respectively. Working capital decreased by $17.4 million due primarily to the reclassification of short-term investments to long-term partially offset by the repurchase of our 2023 convertible senior notes.

Long-term available for sale investments

   $ 59,305    $ —  
             

We invested excess cash in ARS, which are highly rated debt instruments with a long-term nominal maturity for which the interest rate is set through a “Dutch Auction” process. The majority of our ARS investments represent interests in collateralized debt obligations supported by pools of government-backed student loans with S&P AAA ratings or Moody’s Aaa ratings at the time of purchase. These investments have been classified as available-for-sale investments. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value, and unrealized holding gains and losses are recorded, net of tax, as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Between December 31, 2007 and February 7, 2008, the Company sold at par value $10.0 million in ARS of the total ARS balance of $72.8 million which was held at December 31,2007. During the first quarter of 2008, due to liquidity issues experienced in the global credit and capital markets, our remaining portfolio of ARS investments experienced multiple failed auctions as the amount of securities submitted for sale exceeded the amount of purchase orders. We will not be able to liquidate the investments until a successful auction occurs, a buyer is found outside the auction process, the securities are called or refinanced by the issuer, or the securities mature. Due to the uncertainty of when we will be able to liquidate the investments, we have reclassified the investments to long-term assets.

Our investment bank developed a model that estimated the fair value of its ARS in accordance with SFAS 157. The model weighted various factors, including the issuer’s credit quality, maturity, probability to be called, lack of liquidity, future cash flows based on maximum rate formulas and comparable securities of the issuer, if any. As of March 31, 2008, based on information provided by the investment bank and our own analysis we determined that our investments were impaired by 5.5% or $3.4 million, primarily due to

 

24


Table of Contents

the lack of liquidity. We believe declines in ARS fair values due to the lack of liquidity to be temporary as we have the ability and intent to hold these investments until they are sold or are called by the issuer at par. As such, we did not consider the impairment to be permanent and recorded an unrealized loss of $3.4 million, gross or $2.2 million, net of tax in other comprehensive income in the shareholders’ equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2008.

If recent uncertainties continue or markets deteriorate further and we are unable to or decide not to hold our ARS to maturity, we may incur additional or permanent impairment charges, which could negatively affect our financial condition, cash flow and reported earnings and we may need to at least partially utilize our line of credit facility to meet our liquidity needs.

Line of Credit

We currently hold a line of credit facility of $20.0 million at our investment bank. This line of credit facility has an interest rate based on the 30-day London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 0.75%. The line of credit is collateralized by the Company’s non-equity investments. The market value of non-equity investments must exceed 125.0% of the borrowed facility amount. At March 31, 2008, the Company had a standby letter of credit outstanding related to one of its medical insurance carriers for $105,000. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, there were no outstanding balances on the standby letter of credit or line of credit.

2023 Convertible Senior Notes

During November 2003, we completed a private offering of $100 million aggregate principal amount of 1.375% convertible senior notes due November 15, 2023 (the “2023 convertible senior notes”) to qualified institutional buyers. The discount on the 2023 convertible senior notes amounted to $3 million.

Convertible senior notes are unsecured obligations convertible into our common stock and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future obligations that are unsecured and unsubordinated. Interest on the senior notes accrues at 1.375% per year and is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15. The notes are convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time on or prior to maturity under certain circumstances, unless previously redeemed or repurchased, into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $23.57 per share, which is equal to a conversion rate of 42.4247 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes. The notes are convertible if (i) the closing price of our common stock on the trading day prior to the conversion date reaches 120% or more of the conversion price of the notes on such trading date; (ii) the trading price of the notes falling below 98% of the conversion value or (iii) certain other events occur. Upon conversion, we will have the right to deliver, in lieu of common stock, cash or a combination of cash and common stock. We may redeem all or a portion of the notes at our option on or after November 15, 2006 but before November 15, 2008 provided that the closing price of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day before the date of the notice of the provisional redemption. On or after November 15, 2008, we may redeem the notes at any time. On November 15, 2008, November 15, 2013, and November 15, 2018, holders of the 2023 convertible senior notes will have the right to require us to purchase, in cash, all or any part of the notes held by such holder at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being purchased, together with accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, up to but excluding the purchase date. The accretion of the discount on the notes is calculated using the effective interest method.

As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had outstanding 2023 convertible senior notes with a face value of $47.5 million and $100 million and a book value of $46.4 million and $97.5 million, net of unamortized discount of $1.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of the 2023 convertible senior notes was $46.4 million and $99.8 million at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2008, we repurchased $52.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 convertible senior notes, with an associated discount of $1.3 million. We repurchased the notes in the open market for $51.1 million and, as a result, recorded a gain of $68,000.

2013 Convertible Senior Notes

On February 6, 2008, we offered and sold in a public offering pursuant to the shelf registration statement $55.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2013 convertible senior notes. Interest is payable semi-annually, in arrears, on each August 15 and February 15, beginning on August 15, 2008, to the holders of record at the close of business on the preceding August 1 and February 1, respectively. The 2013 convertible senior notes mature on February 15, 2013. Holders of the 2013 convertible senior notes may convert their notes into a number of shares of our common stock determined as set forth in the indenture governing the notes at their

 

25


Table of Contents

option on any day to and including the business day prior to the maturity date. The 2013 convertible senior notes are initially convertible into 76.7448 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes (which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $ 13.03 per share), subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, holders of the 2013 convertible senior notes may require us to repurchase some or all of our notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, if certain fundamental changes occur, we may be required in certain circumstances to increase the conversion rate for any 2013 convertible senior notes converted in connection with such fundamental changes by a specified number of shares of our common stock. The 2013 convertible senior notes are our general unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior indebtedness, including our 2023 convertible senior notes, and senior in right of payment to our future subordinated debt. Our obligations under the 2013 convertible senior notes are not guaranteed by, and are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future obligations of, our subsidiaries and are effectively subordinated in right of payment to our future secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing such debt.

In connection with the issuance of the 2013 convertible senior notes, we entered into a capped call transaction with a hedge counterparty. The capped call transaction is expected to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the 2013 convertible senior notes in the event that the market value per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transaction, at the time of exercise is greater than the strike price of the capped call transaction of approximately $13.03, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2013 convertible senior notes and is subject to certain adjustments similar to those contained in the notes. If, however, the market value per share of our common stock exceeds the cap price of the capped call transaction of $23.085, as measured under the terms of the capped call transaction, the dilution mitigation under the capped call transaction will be limited, which means that there would be dilution to the extent that the then market value per share of our common stock exceeds the cap price of the capped call transaction.

As of March 31, 2008, we had outstanding 2013 convertible senior notes with a face value and fair value of $55.0 million and $55.3 million, respectively. The cost of the capped call transaction was approximately $10.2 million and was recorded as a charge to shareholders’ equity.

(A) Purchase obligations include agreements or purchase orders to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding and specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions and the approximate timing of the transaction. Purchase obligations exclude agreements that are cancelable without penalty.

 

(B) The 2023 convertible senior notes are shown at their face values, gross of unamortized discount amounting to $1.1 million at March 31, 2008. We may redeem the 2023 convertible senior notes at any time. On November 15, 2008, November 15, 2013, and November 15, 2018, holders of the 2023 convertible senior notes will have the right to require us to purchase, in cash, all or any part of the notes held by such holders at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being purchased, together with accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, up to but excluding the purchase date.

In addition to the above, as discussed in Note 11 — Income Taxes of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we have approximately $2.7 million associated with unrecognized tax benefits and related interest and penalties. These liabilities are primarily included as a component of “other long-term liabilities” in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as we do not anticipate that settlement of the liabilities will require payment of cash within the next twelve months. We are not able to reasonably estimate when we would

 

26


Table of Contents

make any cash payments required to settle these liabilities, but do not believe that the ultimate settlement of our obligations will materially affect our liquidity.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not engage in any activity involving special purpose entities or off-balance sheet financing.

Liquidity Outlook

We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and investments, net, amounting to $118.3 million at March 31, 2008, of which $59.3 million consisted of ARS, the cash generated from operations and our line of credit facility will satisfy our short and long-term expected working capital needs, capital expenditures, stock repurchases, other liquidity requirements associated with our existing business operations, and the repurchase of all or part of our 2023 convertible senior notes as required by the holders on November 15, 2008 even if we are required to hold our ARS until maturity. Capital expenditures are expected to range from $1.5 million to $2.0 million per quarter as we make additional R&D and IT capital investments.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and equity trading prices, which could affect our financial position and results of operations.

Interest Rate Risk. We invest excess cash in debt instruments of or supported by the U.S. Government and its agencies, and those of high-quality corporate issuers. We attempt to protect and preserve our invested funds by limiting default, market, and reinvestment risk. Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair value adversely affected due to a rise in interest rates while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates decline. Due to the short duration of most of the investment portfolio, an immediate 10% change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair value of our investment portfolio. Additionally, the interest rate changes affect the fair market value but do not necessarily have a direct impact on our earnings or cash flows. Therefore, we would not expect our operating results or cash flows to be affected, to any significant degree, by the effect of a sudden change in market interest rates on the securities portfolio. The estimated fair value of our debt investments at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $90.3 million and $95.1 million, respectively. The effect of an immediate 10% change in interest rates would not have a material effect on our operating results or cash flows.

Foreign Currency Risk. We pay the expenses of our international operations in local currencies, namely, the British Pound Sterling, Canadian Dollar, Chinese Yuan, Euro, Japanese Yen, Malaysian Ringgit and Israeli New Shekel. The international operations are subject to risks typical of an international business, including, but not limited to: differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, foreign exchange rate volatility and other regulations and restrictions. Accordingly, future results could be materially and adversely affected by changes in these or other factors. We are also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the balance sheets and income statements of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars during the consolidation process. Because exchange rates vary, these results, when translated, may vary from expectations and adversely affect overall expected profitability.

Based on our policy, we have established a foreign currency exposure management program which uses derivative foreign exchange contracts to address nonfunctional currency exposures that are expected to be settled in one year or less. During the first quarter of 2008, in order to reduce the potentially adverse effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations we entered into forward exchange contracts. These hedging transactions primarily limit our exposure to changes in the U.S. Dollar/Canadian Dollar exchange rate. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations resulted in a net gain of $125,000 and a net loss of $15,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Holding other variables constant, a 10% adverse fluctuation of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Canadian Dollar would result in a $548,000 loss as of March 31, 2008. Holding other variables constant, a 10% favorable fluctuation of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Canadian Dollar would result in a $614,000 gain as of March 31, 2008. We do not expect a 10% fluctuation to have any impact on our operating results as the underlying hedged transactions will move in an equal and opposite direction.

Convertible Notes. The fair value of the convertible senior notes are sensitive to interest rate changes. Interest rate changes would result in an increase or decrease in the fair value of the convertible notes due to differences between market interest rates and rates in effect at the inception of the obligation. Unless we elect to repurchase our senior convertible notes in the open market, changes in the fair value of the senior convertible notes have no impact on our cash flows or Consolidated Financial Statements. The estimated fair value of the 2023 convertible senior notes was $46.4 million and $99.8 million at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, and the estimated fair value of the 2013 convertible senior notes was $55.3 million at March 31, 2008.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective.

 

28


Table of Contents

In connection with the evaluation described above, we identified no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2008, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, the disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls of the MCPD business which was acquired effective September 12, 2007. Management was unable to assess the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting of the MPCD business because of the timing of the acquisition. Management expects to update its assessment of the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to include the MPCD business as soon as practicable but in any event, no later than in the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2008.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There are many factors that affect our business and the results of our operations, many of which are beyond our control. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors and Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in this Quarterly Report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

If uncertainties in the credit and capital markets continue the market value of our investments in auction rate securities may decline leading to impairment charges which could negatively affect our financial condition, cash flow and reported earnings.

At March 31, 2008, our long-term investments were comprised of auction rate securities (“ARS”), which are highly rated debt instruments with a long-term nominal maturity for which the interest rate is set through a “Dutch Auction” process. The majority of our ARS investments represent interests in collateralized debt obligations supported by pools of government-backed student loans with S&P AAA or Moody’s Aaa ratings at the time of purchase. These investments have been classified as available-for-sale investments. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value, and unrealized holding gains and losses are recorded, net of tax, as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

During the first quarter of 2008, due to liquidity issues experienced in the global credit and capital markets, our entire portfolio of ARS investments experienced multiple failed auctions as the amount of securities submitted for sale exceeded the amount of purchase orders. We will not be able to liquidate the investments until a successful auction occurs, a buyer is found outside the auction process, the securities are called or refinanced by the issuer, or the securities mature. If recent uncertainties continue or markets deteriorate further and we are unable to or decide not to hold our ARS to maturity, we may incur additional or permanent impairment charges, which could negatively affect our financial condition, cash flow and reported earnings and we may need to at least partially utilize our line of credit facility to meet our liquidity needs.

Other Risk Factors Related to Our Business

Other risk factors include, but are not limited to, changes in the mix of products sold, changes in regulatory and tax legislation, changes in effective tax rates, inventory risks due to changes in market demand or our business strategies, potential litigation and claims arising in the normal course of business, credit risk of customers and other risk factors.
