1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (Interim Financial Statements) include the accounts of Electronics For Imaging, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“EFI”). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial statements and accounting policies, consistent, in all material respects, with those applied in preparing our annual consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The December 31, 2006 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included herein was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, these unaudited Interim Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments management considers necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, operating results and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by requiring a tax position be recognized only when it is more likely than not that the tax position, based on its technical merits, will be sustained upon ultimate settlement with the applicable tax authority. The tax benefit to be recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the applicable tax authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. FIN 48 is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2006, and we have adopted FIN 48 in the first quarter of 2007. Upon adoption of FIN 48, we recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of approximately $4.8 million to decrease accrued tax liabilities and increase opening retained earnings in the first quarter of 2007.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). This statement establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The provisions of SFAS 157 should be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which SFAS 157 is initially applied, except in limited circumstances. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157 on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 157. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 159 on our consolidated financial statements.

2. Restatement of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

We are restating our condensed consolidated statement of operations and our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2006, and related disclosures in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q:

Summary of Accounting Adjustments

As part of the restatement of our condensed consolidated financial statements reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and filed on October 19, 2007 we noted immaterial non-cash accounting adjustments for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

One adjustment related to previously identified adjustments that at the time were considered to be immaterial. These adjustments primarily related to the timing of revenue recognized for certain VUTEk contracts during 2005. The contract revenue and related costs of sales ($1.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively) originally recognized in 2005 were deferred at December 31, 2005 as part of the restatement resulting in an adjustment, net of taxes, of $0.3 million in our statement of operations. The contract revenue and related costs were subsequently recognized in the first quarter of 2006. Additionally, we restated one item related to the January 1, 2006 adoption of the fair value recognition provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment (Revised 2004)” (“SFAS 123(R)”) using the modified prospective transition method. The impact of such adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $0.3 million.

Impact of Restatement

The following table presents the effect of the stock-based compensation expense adjustments, other adjustments and related income tax effect on the Company’s previously reported condensed consolidated statements of operations:

Valuation Assumptions

Our determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by various assumptions including volatility, expected term and interest rates. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock over a preceding period commensurate with the expected term of the option. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we utilize the “simplified” method described in SAB 107 to determine the expected term of our options. Using this method, the expected term is estimated by taking the weighted average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the option. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected dividend yield was not considered in the option pricing formula since we do not pay dividends and have no current plans to do so in the future.

The estimated per share weighted average fair value of options and ESPP shares granted and the assumptions used to estimate fair value are shown below for the periods indicated:

5. Earnings Per Share

Net income per basic common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding unvested restricted stock. Net income per diluted common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding common stock options having a dilutive effect using the treasury stock method, from the unvested shares of restricted stock using the treasury stock method and from the assumed conversion of our 1.50% Senior Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”). In addition, in computing the dilutive effect of the convertible securities, the numerator is adjusted to add back the after-tax amount of interest and amortized debt-issuance costs recognized in the period associated with the Debentures. Any potential shares that are anti-dilutive as defined in SFAS 128, “Earnings per Share”, are excluded from the effect of dilutive securities.

7. Income taxes

For the first quarter of 2007, we recorded a tax benefit of $0.1 million compared to a tax provision of $2.6 million for the same period in 2006. The tax provision for the first quarter of 2006 included a benefit of $0.3 million related to a reduction in tax reserves, established in prior years on income from foreign operations, since such reserves were no longer required. Our effective tax rate in 2006, without the discrete charges and benefits above, was 20%. The decrease in our first quarter’s tax provision in 2007 compared to 2006, without the discrete charges and benefits described above, is due primarily to the temporary expiration of the federal research and development credit in the first three quarters of 2006 and increased permanently invested foreign earnings in 2007.

Primary differences in 2007 and 2006 between our recorded tax provision rate and the US statutory rate of 35% for both periods include tax benefits associated with credits for research and development costs for 2007 only, lower taxes on permanently invested foreign earnings, and the tax effects of charges related to stock-based compensation recorded pursuant to SFAS 123(R), which is non-deductible for tax purposes.

Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by requiring a tax position be recognized only when it is more likely than not that the tax position, based on its technical merits, will be sustained upon ultimate settlement with the applicable tax authority. The tax benefit to be recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the applicable tax authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 has been recorded as an increase of $4.8 million to retained earnings.

As of March 31 and January 1, 2007, the total amount of unrecognized benefits was $26.2 million and $25.6 million, of which $23.2 million and $22.6 million would affect the effective tax rate, if recognized. Included in the March 31 and January 1, 2007 balances is $3.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits arising from business combinations that, if recognized, would be recorded as an adjustment to goodwill and would not affect the effective tax rate. Over the next twelve months, our existing tax positions will continue to generate an increase in liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits.

We recognize potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. At March 31 and January 1, 2007 we have accrued $1.0 million and $0.9 million respectively for potential payments of interest and penalties.

As of March 31 and January 1, 2007, we were subject to examination by both the US federal and state tax jurisdictions for the 2002-2006 tax years and the Netherlands for 2005-2006 tax years. We are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the 2002 through 2004 tax years. It is likely that the examination phase of the audit for the years 2002 to 2004 will conclude in 2007. Though it is reasonably possible a reduction in the unrecognized tax benefits may occur, quantification of an estimated range cannot be made at this time.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

As more fully discussed below, from time to time, we may be involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings relating to contractual disputes, securities law, intellectual property, employment matters and other claims or litigation matters relating to various claims that arise in the normal course of our business. We determine whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. We assess our potential liability by analyzing our specific litigation and regulatory matters using available information. We develop our views on estimated losses in consultation with inside and outside counsel, which involves a subjective analysis of potential results and outcomes, assuming various combinations of appropriate litigation and settlement strategies. Because of the uncertainties related to both the amount and ranges of possible loss on the pending litigation matters, we are unable to predict with certainty the precise liability that could finally result from a range of possible unfavorable outcomes. However, taking all of the above factors into account, we reserve an amount that we could reasonably expect to pay for the cases discussed. However, our estimates could be wrong, and we could pay more or less than our current accrual. Litigation can be costly, diverting management’s attention and could, upon resolution, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

Leggett & Platt, Inc. and L&P Property Management Company v. VUTEk, Inc.:

In May 2005, prior to EFI’s acquisition of VUTEK, Leggett & Platt, Inc. (“L&P’), and its patent holding subsidiary brought a patent infringement action against VUTEk in the United States District Court in the Eastern District of Missouri. After conducting extensive discovery, EFI moved for summary judgment that the asserted patent is invalid and not infringed. After several months of reviewing the evidence, on December 26, 2006, the Court granted EFI’s summary judgment motion and ruled that all of L&P’s asserted patent claims were invalid on multiple grounds. The Court found that each asserted patent claim was obvious and already disclosed in VUTEk’s own prior patents. In addition to those two grounds for invalidity, the Court also found L&P’s patent claims invalid because the L&P patent claims were vague and indefinite in view of the patent claim interpretations suggested by L&P. The Court also granted EFI’s motion to recover its costs from L&P. L&P filed a notice of appeal, and EFI moved to dismiss the appeal for lack of proper certification from the trial court. The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C. granted EFI’s motion and dismissed L&P’s first appeal. After obtaining a final certification from the trial court, L&P filed a new notice of appeal. EFI will continue to vigorously contest L&P’s second attempt at an appeal.

Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) Export Investigation:

In January 2005, prior to EFI’s acquisition of VUTEk, the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) initiated an investigation of VUTEk relating to VUTEk’s alleged failure to comply with U.S. export regulations in connection with several export sales to Syria in 2004. EFI self-initiated an internal compliance review of historical export practices for both VUTEk and EFI. Potential violations uncovered during our compliance review were voluntarily disclosed to BIS in November 2006 (for VUTEk) and December 2006 (for EFI). Additionally, we provided BIS with detailed reports of our compliance review findings and supplemental information in March 2007 (for VUTEk) and May 2007 (for EFI). The areas of possible non-compliance found in the internal review relate to: (1) deemed exports of controlled encryption source code and/or technology to foreign nationals of Syria and Iran, (2) exports of printers and other products with encryption functionality before completion of encryption reviews by BIS and (3) statistical reporting errors on some export declarations. At present, we believe that these matters will be resolved solely with administrative penalties. However, there is no assurance that these matters will not have an unforeseen outcome that could impair our ability to export product outside of the United States and Canada.

Purported Derivative Shareholder Lawsuits:

On August 16, 2006, a purported derivative shareholder complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo captioned Parish v. Avida et al., No. CIV 457013. A substantively identical complaint was filed in the same court on September 11, 2006 captioned Fennimore v. Avida et al., No. CIV 457566. These actions were consolidated as In re Electronics For Imaging, Inc. Derivative Litigation, Master File No. 457013. The consolidated complaint filed December 18, 2006, alleged claims – derivatively and on behalf of the Company as nominal defendant – against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and/or directors and sought redress for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by and unjust enrichment of the individual defendants. Plaintiffs claimed that, from 1994 to 2003, the defendants colluded to improperly backdate stock option grants to various officers and directors in violation of the Company’s stock option plans. Further, Plaintiffs claimed that the individual defendants colluded to improperly record and account for the allegedly backdated options in violation of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and to produce and disseminate statements that improperly recorded and accounted for the options and concealed the allegedly improper backdating. According to plaintiffs, the Company has suffered damage as a result of the individual defendants’ alleged misconduct, and the recipients of the options have allegedly garnered unlawful profits. On January 30, 2007 the court entered a stipulated order dismissing the consolidated action and, on February 2, 2007, plaintiffs filed a similar complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California captioned Parish et al. v. Avida et al., No. C07-00698.

On November 22, 2006, another purported derivative shareholder complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo captioned City of Ann Arbor Employees’ Retirement Association v. Gecht et al., No. CIV 459145. The complaint asserted derivative claims against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and/or directors, alleging that the director defendants breached their fiduciary duty by improperly manipulating certain stock option grants between 1996 and 2003, thereby violating the terms of the Company’s stock option plan, causing the Company to issue false and misleading financial statements and proxy statements, and unjustly enriching the executives who received the subject option grants. The complaint also purported to be brought on behalf of a class consisting of all others similarly situated and alleges a class claim for breach of the fiduciary duty of disclosure. On December 5, 2006 the case was removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and, on March 9, 2007, the court denied plaintiff’s motion to remand the case back to state court. On April 3, 2007 the court granted plaintiff’s motion to voluntarily dismiss its complaint. Plaintiff re-filed its complaint in Delaware Chancery Court on April 9, 2007.

On November 27, 2006 a purported derivative shareholder complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California captioned Indiana State District Council of Laborers and Hod Carriers Pension Fund v. Gecht et al., No. C-06-7274(EMC). Similar to the derivative allegations asserted in the previously-filed complaints, the plaintiff alleges that, between 1997 and 2006, the individual defendants improperly manipulated the grant date of certain stock option grants and made false or misleading statements regarding such grants. Plaintiff claims that the individual defendants’ alleged misconduct violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as California and Delaware law. On March 22, 2007, the court issued an Order consolidating this action with the Parish action. On April 12, 2007 Parish and Fennimore were appointed lead plaintiffs and their attorneys lead counsel. On July 25, 2007 the Court granted plaintiffs’ unopposed motion to stay the action in deference to the litigation pending in Delaware (described below).

On March 15, 2007 a complaint was filed in Delaware Chancery Court captioned Denver Employees Retirement Plan v. Gecht et al., No. 2797. The complaint asserts derivative claims against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and/or directors, alleging that the director defendants breached their fiduciary duty by improperly manipulating certain stock option grants between 1996 and 2003, thereby violating the terms of the Company’s stock option plan, causing the Company to issue false and misleading financial statements and proxy statements, and unjustly enriching the executives who received the subject option grants. The complaint also purported to be brought on behalf of a class consisting of all others similarly situated and alleges a class claim for breach of the fiduciary duty of disclosure. On May 9, 2007, the court granted the parties’ proposed order consolidating the Denver and Ann Arbor cases, designating the Denver complaint as the operative complaint, and appointing the named plaintiffs lead plaintiffs and their counsel lead counsel. Defendants have moved to dismiss the action.

Durst Fototechnik Technology GmbH v. Electronics for Imaging, GmbH et al.:

On February 23, 2007, Durst brought a patent infringement action against EFI GmbH in the Mannheim District Court in Germany. On May 10, 2007, EFI GmbH filed its Statement of Defenses. These defenses include lack of jurisdiction, non-infringement, invalidity and unenforceability based on Durst’s improper actions before the German patent office. EFI Inc. filed its Statement of Defense on August 29, 2007. EFI Inc.’s defenses include those for EFI GmbH as well as an additional defense for prior use based on EFI’s own European patent rights. Trial has been set in Mannheim for November 30, 2007. EFI will continue to defend itself vigorously.

Acacia Patent Litigation:

On August 8, 2007, Screentone Systems Corporation, a subsidiary of Acacia Technologies Group, initiated litigation against several defendants, including Konica Minolta Printing Solutions, Canon USA, and Ricoh Americas, for infringement of a patent related to apparatus and methods of digital halftoning in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. Konica Minolta, Canon and Ricoh are EFI customers. While the complaint does not identify any accused products nor reference EFI directly, at least one defendant has notified EFI that Acacia representatives have communicated that at least one basis for its infringement claim is based on certain EFI Fiery products. EFI has contractual obligations to indemnify its customers to varying degrees and subject to various circumstances. At least one defendant has written requesting indemnification for any EFI products that allegedly infringe these patents. While EFI does not believe that its products infringed this patent, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.

Tesseron Patent Litigation:

On September 26, 2007, Tesseron, Ltd. initiated litigation against Konica Minolta Business Solutions USA, Konica Minolta Business Technologies and Konica Minolta Holdings for infringement of eight patents related to variable printing technology in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division. Konica Minolta is an EFI customer and the complaint references EFI Fiery variable data enabled printer controllers. Additionally, Tesseron has on multiple occasions over the past 4 years sent threatening letters to EFI. However, Tesseron failed to reply to each of EFI’s requests for a dialogue. EFI has contractual obligations to indemnify its customers to varying degrees and subject to various circumstances. Konica Minolta has written requesting indemnification for any EFI products that allegedly infringe these patents. While EFI does not believe that its products infringed any of these patents, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.

Nasdaq Delisting Proceedings:

Due to the Special Committee investigation, we were unable to file on a timely basis with the SEC our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2007 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2007. On November 15, 2006, we received a Nasdaq staff determination notice stating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) due to our failure to timely file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006, and that our securities are, therefore, subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Global Select Market. We received additional Nasdaq staff determination notices with respect to our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007.

We requested and subsequently attended a hearing before the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the staff determination and presented a plan to cure the filing deficiencies and regain compliance. The Panel granted our request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market, subject to certain conditions which we were unable to meet because of the then-ongoing independent investigation of our historical stock option grants. As a result, the Panel notified us that it had determined to delist our securities, which ordinarily would have resulted in the suspension of our securities effective on May 17, 2007. However, the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Listing Council”), pursuant to its discretionary authority under Marketplace Rule 4807(b), called for review the decision of the Panel regarding our case and stayed any action by the Panel to suspend our securities from trading on The Nasdaq Global Select Market pending further action by the Listing Council.

On July 2, 2007, we provided the Listing Council with an additional submission for its consideration, and requested that the Listing Council exercise its discretionary authority, pursuant to Marketplace Rule 4802(b), in favor of granting us an additional extension to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s filing requirement, as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14).

On August 23, 2007, the Listing Council notified us that it had determined to exercise its discretionary authority, under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4802(b), to grant us an exception to demonstrate compliance with all of The Nasdaq Global Select Market continued listing requirements through October 22, 2007.

On October 19, 2007, we filed with the SEC our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

 

9. Information Concerning Business Segments

Information about Products and Services

We operate in a single industry segment, technology for high-quality printing in short production runs. In accordance with SFAS 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” our chief operating decision-makers have been identified as our executive officers, who review the operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. We do not have separate operating segments for which discrete financial statements are prepared. Our management makes operating decisions and assesses performance primarily based on the marketplace of our products, which is typically measured by revenues.

The following is a breakdown of revenues by product category for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 (in thousands):

Information about Geographic Areas

We report revenues by geographic areas based on ship-to destinations. Shipments to some of our OEM customers are made to centralized purchasing and manufacturing locations, which in turn sell through to other locations. As a result of these factors, we believe that sales to certain geographic locations might be higher or lower, as accurate data is difficult to obtain.

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

Revenue

We currently classify our revenue into three categories. The first category, “Controllers”, which connect digital copiers with computer networks, is primarily made up of stand-alone controller and embedded desktop controllers, bundled solutions and design-licensed solutions primarily for the office market and commercial printing. This category primarily includes our Fiery series, Splash, Edox,

Table of Contents

and MicroPress color and black and white controller products and spare parts. It also includes server-related revenue made up of scanning solutions. The second category, “Inkjet Products”, consists of sales of the super-wide format inkjet printers and inks, and parts and services revenue from the VUTEk and Jetrion businesses. The third category, “Advanced Professional Print Software”, or APPS, consists of software technology focused on printing workflow, print management information systems, proofing and web submission and job tracking tools and software options available on our controller products.

On a sequential basis the revenue performance in the first quarter of 2007 decreased by 4% from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, largely due to typically slower inkjet printer sales in the first quarter of the year. Controllers increased by 4% sequentially while APPS decreased 10% due to typically slower sales in the first quarter of the year. The Inkjet revenue decreased by 12% over the fourth quarter of 2006.

Revenues by Product Category

For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, revenues by product category were as follows (in thousands):

 

     Three months ended March 31,  
          Percent     2006    Percent     Change  
     2007    of total     (As restated)(1)    of total     $    %  

Controllers

   $ 79,960    54 %   $ 75,752    56 %   $ 4,208    6 %

Inkjet Products

     48,095    33 %     41,252    30 %     6,843    17 %

Advanced Professional Print Software

     19,776    13 %     18,645    14 %     1,131    6 %
                                   

Total Revenue

   $ 147,831    100 %   $ 135,649    100 %   $ 12,182    9 %
                                   

(1) See Note 2, “Restatement of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our revenues increased by 9% to $147.8 million in the first quarter of 2007, compared to $135.6 million in the first quarter of 2006. The Controllers category increased 6% in the first quarter of 2007 when compared to the same period in 2006, mostly attributable to new product launches in both servers and embedded controller categories with some of our major OEM partners. Inkjet revenue increased by 17% from prior period revenue. Stronger sales of UV printers which carry higher average selling prices as compared to solvent printers drove revenue higher. The addition of Jetrion revenues drove approximately 7% of the growth within the Inkjet category. APPS grew 6% compared to the first quarter of 2006. APPS as a percentage of total revenue decreased due to the higher growth rates of Inkjet products.

For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the APPS category showed a 6% increase in the comparison of revenues year over year.

Revenues by Geographic Area

Revenues by geographic regions were as follows (in thousands):

 

     Three months ended March 31,  
          Percent     2006    Percent     Change  
     2007    of total     (As restated)(1)    of total     $     %

Japan

     17,196    12 %     13,491    10 %     3,705     27 %

Other International Locations

     3,810    2 %     5,660    4 %     (1,850 )   -33 %
                                    

Total Revenue

   $ 147,831    100 %   $ 135,649    100 %   $ 12,182     9 %
                                    

(1) See Note 2, “Restatement of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The increase in revenue across all geographic regions was driven by the growth of Inkjet products by 17% from last year and 6% growth of Controller and APPS products.

Table of Contents

Americas

Americas grew due to strong sales of Inkjet printers as the company saw strong growth in UV printers. Controller sales were strong in Americas as new product introductions by some of our OEM attributed to our growth.

Europe

Europe grew due to strength in the Inkjet printers markets as we continue to expand our direct sales force presence and benefit from continued growth in demand of UV printers in our Inkjet products.

Japan and Other International Locations

The Japanese revenue increase was driven by stronger sales in our design-licensed color solutions due to new product introduction. The design-licensed color solutions were often sold to OEM customers in Japan for incorporation into their products which were then shipped from Japan to other countries.

Inkjet Products in the Americas, Europe and Japan contributed 17%, 14% and 1% of the first quarter of 2007 revenues, respectively. Americas and Europe growth was driven significantly by the continued growth of Inkjet printers.

Shipments to some of our OEM customers are made to centralized purchasing and manufacturing locations which in turn sell through to other locations, making it difficult to obtain accurate geographical shipment data. Accordingly, we believe that export sales of our products into each region may differ from what is reported. We expect that export sales will continue to represent a significant portion of our total revenue.

A substantial portion of our revenue over the years has been attributable to sales of products through our OEM customers and independent distributor channels. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, three customers, Canon, Xerox and Konica Minolta-provided more than 10% of our revenue individually and approximately 43% of revenue in the aggregate. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, two customers—Canon and Xerox—provided more than 10% of our revenue individually and approximately 36% of revenue in the aggregate. The increase in the percentage of revenue from these major OEM partners in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006 is attributable to the strong performance in the first quarter of 2007 of our controllers product category related to product released in the second half of 2006. No assurance can be given that our relationships with these and other significant OEM customers will continue or that we will be successful in increasing the number of our OEM customers or the size of our existing OEM relationships. Several of our OEM customers have reduced their purchases from us at various times in the past and any customer could do so in the future as there are no contractual obligations by most of our OEMs to purchase our products in significant amounts. Such reductions have in the past and could in the future have a significant negative impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. We expect that if we increase our revenues from our inkjet products and our professional printing applications, the percentage of our revenue that comes from individual OEMs will continue to decrease.

We continue to develop new products and technologies for each of our product lines including new generations of server and controller products and other new product lines and to distribute those new products to or through current and new OEM customers, distribution partners, and end-users in 2008 and beyond. No assurance can be given that the introduction or market acceptance of current or future products will be successful.

To the extent sales of our products do not grow over time in absolute terms, or if we are not able to meet demand for higher unit volumes, it could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. There can be no assurance that any products that we introduce in the future will successfully compete, be accepted by the market, or otherwise effectively replace the volume of revenue and/or income from our older products. Market acceptance of our software products, products acquired through acquisitions and other products cannot be assured.

We also believe that in addition to the factors described above, price reductions for all of our products will affect revenues in the future. We have previously reduced and in the future will likely reduce prices for our products. Depending upon the price-elasticity of demand for our products, the pricing and quality of competitive products, and other economic and competitive conditions, such price reductions have had and may in the future have an adverse impact on our revenues and profits.

Gross Margins

The gross margin for the quarter was 60%, just slightly below the gross margin for the same period in 2006. Inkjet printers typically have lower margins than the Controllers and APPS category. Controllers gross margin improved from prior year by approximately 1% due to sale of higher margin products which helped offset a decline in the overall gross margin percentage as Inkjet revenues continues to grow faster than the Controller and APPS categories.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue were 63% and 52% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Operating expenses incurred as a percent of revenue due to primarily a 205% increase in general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006.

The following table shows operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 (in thousands):

Research and Development

Expenses for research and development consist primarily of personnel expenses and, to a lesser extent, consulting, depreciation, and costs of prototype materials.

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 totaled $35.8 million or 24% of revenue compared to approximately $31.4 million or 23% of revenue in the first quarter of 2006. In absolute dollars, research and development expense increased by approximately $4.3 million in the first quarter of 2007 from the first quarter of 2006. The major factors in the increase consisted of an increase of $1.5 million in stock-based compensation expense and increases in payroll and other employee related costs due to the Jetrion acquisition and additional R&D hiring. Research and development expenses excluding stock compensation grew 9%.

We believe that the development of new products and the enhancement of existing products are essential, and intend to continue to devote substantial resources to research and new product development efforts.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses include salaries, benefits and bonuses for our marketing and sales employees, travel and facility costs for our marketing, sales, support personnel, sales commissions, labor costs of fulfilling and processing an order, stock-based compensation expense under SFAS 123(R) for stock awards granted to marketing and sales employees, and overhead charges. These expenses also include costs of programs aimed at increasing revenues, such as advertising, trade shows and expositions, and various sales, promotional programs designed for specific sales channels and end users in all geographies.

Sales and marketing expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 were $27.6 million or 19% of revenue compared to $23.1 million or 17% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of 19% and $4.4 million from the first quarter of 2006. The major factors in the increase were the expenses related primarily to higher headcount as the sales team hired additional headcount to build a stronger direct sales and marketing organization to sell Inkjet products in all geographies. Headcount increased from the first quarter of 2006 due primarily to the Jetrion acquisition and additional hiring. Marketing effort also increased significantly to build out brand awareness, expand product promotions and increase our presence in key tradeshows.

We expect that our sales and marketing expenses may increase in absolute dollars as we continue to actively promote our products, introduce new products and services, and continue to build our sales and marketing organization, particularly in Europe and Asia Pacific. Also, as we continue to grow our software solutions, VUTEk products and other new product lines which require greater

sales and marketing support from us. We expect that if the US dollar remains volatile against the Euro or other currencies, sales and marketing expenses reported in US dollars could fluctuate.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses include salaries, benefits, and bonuses for our finance, human resources and legal personnel, as well as, professional fees for legal and accounting services, litigation costs, overhead costs, and stock-based compensation expense under SFAS 123(R) for stock awards granted to general and administrative employees.

General and administrative expenses were $20.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, or 14% of revenue, compared to $6.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, or 5% of revenue. The increase of $13.6 million consisted of stock option investigation costs of $5.8 million, an increase in bad debt expense of $3.6 million, higher employee related costs related to higher headcount and the Jetrion acquisition and approximately $1.6 million in costs in the first quarter of 2007 related to an acquisition that was not consummated. In 2006, bad debt expense was lower due to revisions of the original acquisition accounting that reduced the VUTEk allowance for doubtful accounts and the related bad debt expense.

We expect general and administrative expenses to decline upon the completion of the stock option investigation and becoming current with our filings with Securities and Exchange Commission.

Amortization of Identified Intangibles

Amortization of identified intangibles for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $8.7 million compared to $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The slight decrease in amortization is due to several intangible assets being fully amortized during the preceding twelve months.

Interest and Other Income, Net

Interest income is derived mainly from our short-term investments, net of investment fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 interest and other income was $7.3 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The increase for the comparison period was driven primarily by higher interest rates and higher cash and short term marketable securities.

Interest Expense

The only material component of interest expense is the interest expense and debt amortization costs related to our 1.50% senior convertible debt of approximately $1.3 million for each of the first quarters of 2007 and 2006.

Income Taxes

For the first quarter of 2007, we recorded a tax benefit of $0.1 million compared to a tax provision of $2.6 million for the same period in 2006. The tax provision for the first quarter of 2006 included a benefit of $0.3 million related to a reduction in tax reserves, established in prior years on income from foreign operations, since such reserves were no longer required. Our effective tax rate in 2006, without the discrete charges and benefits above, was 20%. The decrease in our first quarter’s tax provision in 2007 compared to 2006, without the discrete charges and benefits described above, is due primarily to the temporary expiration of the federal research and development credit in the first three quarters of 2006 and increased permanently invested foreign earnings in 2007.

Primary differences in 2007 and 2006 between our recorded tax provision rate and the US statutory rate of 35% for both periods include tax benefits associated with credits for research and development costs for 2007 only, lower taxes on permanently invested foreign earnings, and the tax effects of charges related to stock-based compensation recorded pursuant to FAS 123R, which is non-deductible for tax purposes.

Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by requiring a tax position be recognized only when it is more likely than not that the tax position, based on its technical merits, will be sustained upon ultimate settlement with the applicable tax authority. The tax benefit to be recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the applicable tax authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 has been recorded as an increase of $4.8 million to retained earnings.

Overview

Cash and cash equivalents and short term investments increased $1.4 million to $511.6 million as of March 31, 2007 from $510.2 million as of December 31, 2006. The increase is primarily due to cash generated by operations of $7.3 million primarily from net income and non-cash related activities. This is offset primarily by the uses of cash for purchases of property, plant and equipment and other assets.

Operating Activities

During the first three months of fiscal 2007, our operating activities generated cash flows of $7.3 million. The following items significantly impacted our cash provided by operating activities:

Net income of $2.1 million included $26.5 million of non-cash activity which was primarily stock-based compensation, deferred taxes and depreciation and amortization offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $21.4 million. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased as bonuses and commission were paid in the first quarter of 2007.

Inventory increased by $3.9 million as the Inkjet products saw strong global growth. Prepaid expenses increased due mainly to tradeshow and other prepaid expenses.

Investing Activities

Investments

We received net proceeds from our marketable securities in the three months ended March 31, 2007 of $24.7 million. We have classified our investment portfolio as “available for sale,” and our investments are made with a policy of capital preservation and liquidity as the primary objectives. We may hold investments in corporate bonds and U.S. government agency securities to maturity; however, we may sell an investment at any time if the quality rating of the investment declines, the yield on the investment is no longer attractive or we are in need of cash. Because we invest only in investment securities that are highly liquid with a ready market, we believe that the purchase, maturity or sale of our investments has no material impact on our overall liquidity.

Property and Equipment

Net purchases of property and equipment were $1.9 million in the first three months of 2007. Our property and equipment additions have historically been funded from operations.

We anticipate that we will continue to purchase property and equipment necessary in the normal course of our business. The amount and timing of these purchases and the related cash outflows in future periods is difficult to predict and is dependent on a number of factors including our hiring of employees, the rate of change in computer hardware/software used in our business and our business outlook.

Financing Activities

We repurchased restricted stock totaling $1.0 million from employees as net settlement for tax liabilities in the first three months of 2007. While we may continue to receive proceeds from these plans in future periods, the timing and amount of such proceeds are difficult to predict and is contingent on a number of factors including the price of our common stock, the number of employees participating in the plans and general market conditions. We anticipate that cash provided from exercise of stock options will decline over time as we shift to issuance of restricted stock awards and units rather than stock option awards.

Inventory

Our inventory consists primarily of components related to our wide-format inkjet printer business and memory subsystems, processors and ASICs, which are sold to third-party contract manufacturers responsible for manufacturing our controller products. Should we

 

23


Table of Contents

decide to purchase components and do our own manufacturing of our controller products, or should it become necessary for us to purchase and sell components other than the processors, ASICs or memory subsystems for our contract manufacturers, inventory balances and potentially fixed assets would increase significantly, thereby reducing our available cash resources. Further, the inventory we carry could become obsolete thereby negatively impacting our consolidated financial position and results of operations. We also rely on several sole-source suppliers for certain key components and could experience a significant negative impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations if such supplies were reduced or not available. Our acquisition of VUTEk in June 2005 has significantly increased our inventory exposure, as inventory must be maintained for the manufacturing of both the VUTEk printers and ink.

Purchase Commitments

We may be required and have been required to compensate our sub-contract manufacturers for components purchased for orders subsequently cancelled by us. We periodically review the potential liability and the adequacy of the related accrual for such cancelled orders. Management analyzes current economic trends, changes in customer demand and acceptance of our products when evaluating the adequacy of such accruals. Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with establishing the accruals in any accounting period and such judgments and assessments may prove to be inaccurate. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our income for any period if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates. Our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively impacted if we were required to compensate the sub-contract manufacturers in an amount significantly in excess of the accrual.

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, we provide indemnifications of varying scope to customers against claims of intellectual property infringement or other claims made by third parties arising from the use of our products. Historically, costs related to these indemnification provisions were insignificant. However, we are unable to estimate the maximum potential impact of these indemnification provisions on our future results of operations.

As permitted under Delaware law, pursuant to our bylaws, charter and indemnification agreements that we have entered into with our current and former executive officers and directors, we are required, subject to certain limited qualifications, to indemnify our executive officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the executive officer or director is, or was serving, at our request in such capacity. The indemnification period covers all pertinent events and occurrences during the executive officer’s or director’s lifetime, and our indemnification obligations generally extend to the derivative shareholder suits and Nasdaq delisting proceedings described in this filing. In this regard, we have received, and expect to receive, requests for indemnification by certain current and former executive officers and directors in connection with the review of our historical stock option granting practices and the related restatement, related government inquiries and derivative shareholder suits described herein. The maximum potential amount of future payments we may be obligated to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, we have director and officer insurance coverage that limits our exposure and may enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.

Legal Proceedings

As more fully discussed below, from time to time we may be involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings relating to contractual disputes, securities law, intellectual property, employment matters and other claims or litigation matters relating to various claims that arise in the normal course of our business. We determine whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. We assess our potential liability by analyzing our specific litigation and regulatory matters using available information. We develop our views on estimated losses in consultation with inside and outside counsel, which involves a subjective analysis of potential results and outcomes, assuming various combinations of appropriate litigation and settlement strategies. Because of the uncertainties related to both the amount and ranges of possible loss on the pending litigation matters, we are unable to predict with certainty the precise liability that could finally result from a range of possible unfavorable outcomes. However, taking all of the above factors into account, we reserve an amount that we could reasonably expect to pay for the cases discussed. However, our estimates could be wrong, and we could pay more or less than our current accrual. Litigation can be costly, diverting management’s attention and could, upon resolution, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

Please refer to “Part II – Other Information, Item 1: Legal Proceedings” in this Form 10-Q for more information regarding our legal proceedings.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing

Synthetic Lease Arrangements

We are a party to two synthetic leases (the “301 Lease” and the “303 Lease”, together “Leases”) covering our Foster City facilities located at 301 and 303 Velocity Way, Foster City, California. These leases provide a cost effective means of providing adequate office space for our corporate offices. Both Leases expire in July 2014. We may, at our option, purchase the facilities during or at the end of the term of the leases for the amount expended by the lessor to purchase the facilities ($56.9 million for the 303 Lease and $31.7 million for the 301 Lease). We have guaranteed to the lessor a residual value associated with the buildings equal to 82% of their funding of the respective Leases. Under the financial covenants, we must maintain a minimum net worth and a minimum tangible net worth as of the end of each quarter. There is an additional covenant regarding mergers. We were in compliance with all such financial and merger related covenants as of March 31, 2007. We are liable to the lessor for the financed amount of the buildings if we default on our covenants. We obtained limited and conditional waivers from the lessor regarding any event of default that should occur solely as a result of an event of default on other indebtedness caused by our failure to comply with covenants relating to the filing and delivery of our periodic reports.

We have assessed our exposure in relation to the first loss guarantees under the Leases and believe that there is no deficiency to the guaranteed value at March 31, 2007. If there is a decline in value, we will record a loss associated with the residual value guarantee. The funds pledged under the Leases ($56.9 million for the 303 Lease and $31.7 million for the 301 Lease at March 31, 2007 for a total of $88.6 million) are in LIBOR-based interest bearing accounts and are restricted as to withdrawal at all times.

In conjunction with the Leases, we leased the land on which the buildings are located to the lessor of the buildings. These separate ground leases are for approximately 30 years. We are treated as the owner of these buildings for federal income tax purposes.

We determined that the synthetic lease agreements qualify as variable interest entities (VIEs); however, because we are not the primary beneficiary as defined by FASB Interpretation No. 46 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as revised” (“FIN 4R”) we are not required to consolidate the VIEs in our financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resource Requirements

Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and cash generated from operations will satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures, investment requirements, stock repurchases, commitments (see Note 8 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) and other liquidity requirements associated with our existing operations through at least the next 12 months. We believe that the most strategic uses of our cash resources include acquisitions, strategic investments to gain access to new technologies, repurchases of shares of our common stock and working capital.

 

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk

We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange and interest rates. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We may enter into financial instrument contracts with major financial institutions to manage and reduce the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates in the future. We had no forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding as of March 31, 2007.

Interest Rate Risk

Marketable Securities

We maintain an investment portfolio of various holdings, types, and maturities. These securities are generally classified as available for sale and consequently, are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). At any time, a sharp rise in interest rates could have a material adverse impact on the fair value of our investment portfolio. Conversely, declines in interest rates could have a material impact on interest earnings for our portfolio. We do not currently hedge these interest rate exposures.

The following table presents the hypothetical change in fair values in the financial instruments we held at March 31, 2007 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The modeling technique used measures the change in fair values arising from selected potential changes in interest rates. Market changes reflect immediate hypothetical parallel shifts in the yield curve of plus or minus 100, 50, and 25 basis points (BPS).

Convertible Debentures

The fair value of our long-term debt, including current maturities, was estimated to be $249.3 million as of March 31, 2007.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

A large portion of our business is conducted in countries other than the U.S. We are primarily exposed to changes in exchange rates for the Euro and Japanese yen. The majority of our receivables are invoiced and collected in U.S. dollars, and as such are a net payer of currencies other than the U.S. dollar due to our operations in foreign countries. As such we can benefit from a stronger dollar and be adversely affected by a weaker dollar relative to major currencies worldwide. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates and in particular a weakening of the U.S. dollar may adversely affect our consolidated expenses and operating margins as expressed in U.S. dollars. We currently do not hedge our foreign currency exposure as the net impact of these exposures has historically been insignificant.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2007, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2007 to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the first quarter of 2007, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1: Legal Proceedings

As more fully discussed below, from time to time we may be involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings relating to contractual disputes, securities law, intellectual property, employment matters and other claims or litigation matters relating to various claims that arise in the normal course of our business. We determine whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. We assess our potential liability by analyzing our specific litigation and regulatory matters using available information. We develop our views on estimated losses in consultation with inside and outside counsel, which involves a subjective analysis of potential results and outcomes, assuming various combinations of appropriate litigation and settlement strategies. Because of the uncertainties related to both the amount and ranges of possible loss on the pending litigation matters, we are unable to predict with certainty the precise liability that could finally result from a range of possible unfavorable outcomes. However, taking all of the above factors into account, we reserve an amount that we could reasonably expect to pay for the cases discussed. However, our estimates could be wrong, and we could pay more or less than our current accrual. Litigation can be costly, diverting management’s attention and could, upon resolution, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

Leggett & Platt, Inc. and L&P Property Management Company v. VUTEk, Inc.:

In May 2005, prior to EFI’s acquisition of VUTEk, Leggett & Platt, Inc. (“L&P”), and its patent holding subsidiary brought a patent infringement action against VUTEk in the United States District Court in the Eastern District of Missouri. After conducting extensive discovery, EFI moved for summary judgment that the asserted patent is invalid and not infringed. After several months of reviewing the evidence, on December 26, 2006, the Court granted EFI’s summary judgment motion and ruled that all of L&P’s asserted patent claims were invalid on multiple grounds. The Court found that each asserted patent claim was obvious and already disclosed in VUTEk’s own prior patents. In addition to those two grounds for invalidity, the Court also found L&P’s patent claims invalid because the L&P patent claims were vague and indefinite in view of the patent claim interpretations suggested by L&P. The Court also granted EFI’s motion to recover its costs from L&P. L&P filed a notice of appeal, and EFI moved to dismiss the appeal for lack of proper certification from the trial court. The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C. granted EFI’s motion and dismissed L&P’s first appeal. After obtaining a final certification from the trial court, L&P filed a new notice of appeal. EFI will continue to vigorously contest L&P’s second attempt at an appeal.

Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) Export Investigation:

In January 2005, prior to EFI’s acquisition of VUTEk, the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) initiated an investigation of VUTEk relating to VUTEk’s alleged failure to comply with U.S. export regulations in connection with several export sales to Syria in 2004. EFI self-initiated an internal compliance review of historical export practices for both VUTEk and EFI. Potential violations uncovered during our compliance review were voluntarily disclosed to BIS in November 2006 (for

VUTEk) and December 2006 (for EFI). Additionally, we provided BIS with detailed reports of our compliance review findings and supplemental information in March 2007 (for VUTEk) and May 2007 (for EFI). The areas of possible non-compliance found in the internal review relate to: (1) deemed exports of controlled encryption source code and/or technology to foreign nationals of Syria and Iran, (2) exports of printers and other products with encryption functionality before completion of encryption reviews by BIS and (3) statistical reporting errors on some export declarations. At present, we believe that these matters will be resolved solely with administrative penalties. However, there is no assurance that these matters will not have an unforeseen outcome that could impair our ability to export product outside of the United States and Canada.

Purported Derivative Shareholder Lawsuits:

On August 16, 2006, a purported derivative shareholder complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo captioned Parish v. Avida et al., No. CIV 457013. A substantively identical complaint was filed in the same court on September 11, 2006 captioned Fennimore v. Avida et al., No. CIV 457566. These actions were consolidated as In re Electronics For Imaging, Inc. Derivative Litigation, Master File No. 457013. The consolidated complaint filed December 18, 2006, alleged claims – derivatively and on behalf of the Company as nominal defendant – against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and/or directors and sought redress for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by and unjust enrichment of the individual defendants. Plaintiffs claimed that, from 1994 to 2003, the defendants colluded to improperly backdate stock option grants to various officers and directors in violation of the Company’s stock option plans. Further, Plaintiffs claimed that the individual defendants colluded to improperly record and account for the allegedly backdated options in violation of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and to produce and disseminate statements that improperly recorded and accounted for the options and concealed the allegedly improper backdating. According to plaintiffs, the Company has suffered damage as a result of the individual defendants’ alleged misconduct, and the recipients of the options have allegedly garnered unlawful profits. On January 30, 2007 the court entered a stipulated order dismissing the consolidated action and, on February 2, 2007, plaintiffs filed a similar complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California captioned Parish et al. v. Avida et al., No. C07-00698.

On November 22, 2006, another purported derivative shareholder complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo captioned City of Ann Arbor Employees’ Retirement Association v. Gecht et al., No. CIV 459145. The complaint asserted derivative claims against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and/or directors, alleging that the director defendants breached their fiduciary duty by improperly manipulating certain stock option grants between 1996 and 2003, thereby violating the terms of the Company’s stock option plan, causing the Company to issue false and misleading financial statements and proxy statements, and unjustly enriching the executives who received the subject option grants. The complaint also purported to be brought on behalf of a class consisting of all others similarly situated and alleges a class claim for breach of the fiduciary duty of disclosure. On December 5, 2006 the case was removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and, on March 9, 2007, the court denied plaintiff’s motion to remand the case back to state court. On April 3, 2007 the court granted plaintiff’s motion to voluntarily dismiss its complaint. Plaintiff re-filed its complaint in Delaware Chancery Court on April 9, 2007.

On November 27, 2006 a purported derivative shareholder complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California captioned Indiana State District Council of Laborers and Hod Carriers Pension Fund v. Gecht et al., No. C-06-7274(EMC). Similar to the derivative allegations asserted in the previously-filed complaints, the plaintiff alleges that, between 1997 and 2006, the individual defendants improperly manipulated the grant date of certain stock option grants and made false or misleading statements regarding such grants. Plaintiff claims that the individual defendants’ alleged misconduct violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as California and Delaware law. On March 22, 2007, the court issued an Order consolidating this action with the Parish action. On April 12, 2007 Parish and Fennimore were appointed lead plaintiffs and their attorneys lead counsel. On July 25, 2007 the Court granted plaintiffs’ unopposed motion to stay the action in deference to the litigation pending in Delaware (described below).

On March 15, 2007 a complaint was filed in Delaware Chancery Court captioned Denver Employees Retirement Plan v. Gecht et al., No. 2797. The complaint asserts derivative claims against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and/or directors, alleging that the director defendants breached their fiduciary duty by improperly manipulating certain stock option grants between 1996 and 2003, thereby violating the terms of the Company’s stock option plan, causing the Company to issue false and misleading financial statements and proxy statements, and unjustly enriching the executives who received the subject option grants. The complaint also purported to be brought on behalf of a class consisting of all others similarly situated and alleges a class claim for breach of the fiduciary duty of disclosure. On May 9, 2007, the court granted the parties’ proposed order consolidating the Denver and Ann Arbor cases, designating the Denver complaint as the operative complaint, and appointing the named plaintiffs lead plaintiffs and their counsel lead counsel. Defendants have moved to dismiss the action.

Durst Fototechnik Technology GmbH v. Electronics for Imaging, GmbH et al.:

On February 23, 2007, Durst brought a patent infringement action against EFI GmbH in the Mannheim District Court in Germany. On May 10, 2007, EFI GmbH filed its Statement of Defenses. These defenses include lack of jurisdiction, non-infringement, invalidity and unenforceability based on Durst’s improper actions before the German patent office. EFI Inc. filed its Statement of Defense on August 29, 2007. EFI Inc.’s defenses include those for EFI GmbH as well as an additional defense for prior use based on EFI’s own European patent rights. Trial has been set in Mannheim for November 30, 2007. EFI will continue to defend itself vigorously.

Acacia Patent Litigation:

On August 8, 2007, Screentone Systems Corporation, a subsidiary of Acacia Technologies Group, initiated litigation against several defendants, including Konica Minolta Printing Solutions, Canon USA, and Ricoh Americas, for infringement of a patent related to apparatus and methods of digital halftoning in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. Konica Minolta, Canon and Ricoh are EFI customers. While the complaint does not identify any accused products nor reference EFI directly, at least one defendant has notified EFI that Acacia representatives have communicated that at least one basis for its infringement claim is based on certain EFI Fiery products. EFI has contractual obligations to indemnify its customers to varying degrees and subject to various circumstances. At least one defendant has written requesting indemnification for any EFI products that allegedly infringe these patents. While EFI does not believe that its products infringed this patent, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.

Tesseron Patent Litigation:

On September 26, 2007, Tesseron, Ltd. initiated litigation against Konica Minolta Business Solutions USA, Konica Minolta Business Technologies and Konica Minolta Holdings for infringement of eight patents related to variable printing technology in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division. Konica Minolta is an EFI customer and the complaint references EFI Fiery variable data enabled printer controllers. Additionally, Tesseron has on multiple occasions over the past 4 years sent threatening letters to EFI. However, Tesseron failed to reply to each of EFI’s requests for a dialogue. EFI has contractual obligations to indemnify its customers to varying degrees and subject to various circumstances. Konica Minolta has written requesting indemnification for any EFI products that allegedly infringe these patents. While EFI does not believe that its products infringed any of these patents, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.

Nasdaq Delisting Proceedings:

Due to the Special Committee investigation, we were unable to file on a timely basis with the SEC our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2007 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2007. On November 15, 2006, we received a Nasdaq staff determination notice stating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) due to our failure to timely file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006, and that our securities are, therefore, subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Global Select Market. We received additional Nasdaq staff determination notices with respect to our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007.

We requested and subsequently attended a hearing before the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the staff determination and presented a plan to cure the filing deficiencies and regain compliance. The Panel granted our request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market, subject to certain conditions which we were unable to meet because of the then-ongoing independent investigation of our historical stock option grants. As a result, the Panel notified us that it had determined to delist our securities, which ordinarily would have resulted in the suspension of our securities effective on May 17, 2007. However, the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Listing Council”), pursuant to its discretionary authority under Marketplace Rule 4807(b), called for review the decision of the Panel regarding our case and stayed any action by the Panel to suspend our securities from trading on The Nasdaq Global Select Market pending further action by the Listing Council.

On July 2, 2007, we provided the Listing Council with an additional submission for its consideration, and requested that the Listing Council exercise its discretionary authority, pursuant to Marketplace Rule 4802(b), in favor of granting us an additional extension to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s filing requirement, as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14).

On August 23, 2007, the Listing Council notified us that it had determined to exercise its discretionary authority, under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4802(b), to grant us an exception to demonstrate compliance with all of The Nasdaq Global Select Market continued listing requirements through October 22, 2007.

We filed with the SEC, on October 19, 2007, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, and on October 22, 2007 our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007.

 

Item 1A: Risk Factors

Information regarding risk factors appears in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis – Forward-looking Statements” in Part 1, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Part I, Item 1A. Part II, Items 7 and 7A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

 

Item 2: Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Item 3: Defaults upon Senior Securities

On June 29, 2007, we received a notice of a purported compliance deficiency from the trustee under the indenture governing EFI’s $240 million, 1.50% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2023 (the “Debentures”). This notice references certain requirements to file with the trustee copies of annual and quarterly reports that EFI is required to file with the SEC, specifically its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, and its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007. On November 10, 2006, EFI received a similar notice from the trustee related to the delay in filing of EFI’s Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2006.

Under the terms of the indenture, EFI has 60 days to cure a default. If EFI does not cure a default within that period, either the trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Debentures may accelerate the maturity of the Debentures, causing the outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest to be immediately due and payable; to date, none has done so.

The June 29, 2007 notice asserted that, because EFI did not file its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2006 within 60 days of receiving the November 10, 2006 notice, an “Event of Default” has occurred and is continuing under the indenture. The June 29, 2007 notice further asserted that, if the deficiency related to the filing of EFI’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007 is not cured within 60 days, additional “Events of Default” will occur under the indenture.

The trustee has not accelerated the maturity of the Debentures, but reserved the right to seek the remedies allowed in the indenture.

As of March 31, 2007, we had approximately $511.6 million of cash and investments. Accordingly, EFI believes that, if the Debentures were accelerated, it has adequate financial resources to pay any unpaid principal and interest due on the Debentures. Although EFI reserves the right to take any action it deems appropriate, and has not conceded that any default has occurred under the indenture, EFI currently expects that, upon a valid acceleration (if any) of the Debentures, it would repay all outstanding amounts due thereunder. The Debentures are convertible into approximately 9.1 million shares of EFI’s common stock. EFI includes the approximately 9.1 million shares related to the Debentures in the calculation of its earnings per share, and the inclusion of these shares is dilutive to earnings. A repayment of the Debentures would result in the exclusion of the 9.1 million shares from EFI’s share count, thereby reducing the number of shares used in its earnings per share calculation.
