PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
      We design, develop and market integrated circuits called display controllers that receive and process analog and digital video and graphic images for viewing on a flat-panel display. Our display controllers are typically located inside a flat-panel display device, such as a flat-panel television or computer monitor. We are currently addressing established display applications such as flat-panel computer monitor, and display applications such as liquid crystal display (LCD) television, plasma television, digital cathode ray tube televisions, digital television and other display devices for the consumer electronics market.
      The transition from analog display systems, such as most televisions and computer monitors that use cathode ray tubes (CRT), to digital display systems that use a fixed-matrix of pixels to represent an image, requires sophisticated digital image-processing solutions. Our products solve input, resolution, format and frame refresh rate conversion problems while maintaining critical image information and improving perceived image quality. Our display controller products utilize patented algorithms and integrated circuit architectures, as well as advanced integrated circuit design and system design expertise.
      We began business as a Canadian company in 1987, and changed our domicile to become a Delaware, U.S. corporation in February 2002. Until 1999 we were focused primarily on developing digital image processing technologies. In May 1999, we acquired a private U.S. corporation, Paradise Electronics, Inc., which, in addition to developing digital image processing technologies, was developing analog and mixed signal communications technologies. We have now combined analog and mixed signal technologies with digital image processing technologies into more comprehensive display controller solutions.
      In February 2002, we acquired a public U.S. corporation, Sage, Inc. In addition to bringing additional image processing and mixed signal technologies to address the flat-panel monitor market, Sage was developing significant expertise in technologies addressing other emerging display applications, including those technologies acquired during Sage’s acquisition of Faroudja, Inc. in June 2000. In March 2002, we acquired the technology assets of VM Labs, Inc. Those technologies include digital video decoding and audio technologies. These acquisitions improved our product offerings for the flat-panel monitor market, and our ability to diversify our business into other emerging display markets, such as LCD television.
      In March 2003, we entered into an agreement to merge with Pixelworks, Inc., an Oregon corporation. In August 2003, we and Pixelworks agreed to terminate the proposed merger. Under the terms of the agreement, the parties agreed to a mutual release of claims, and Pixelworks paid us $5.5 million as a reimbursement for our expenses.
      We operate through subsidiaries and offices in the United States, Canada, China, Germany, India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. Our business is conducted globally, with the majority of our suppliers and customers located in China, Europe, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. For a geographical breakdown of our revenues and long-lived assets, see Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this report.
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
      Our targeted applications include the following:
  •  Flat-Panel Computer Monitors. Flat-panel computer monitors using liquid crystal displays, or LCDs, are increasingly replacing monitors that use CRTs. For the year ended March 31, 2006, applications sold into the flat-panel computer monitor market represented an estimated 43% of our total revenues. Companies whose flat-panel computer monitors incorporate our products include AOC, BenQ, Dell, Fujitsu, Gateway, HP, Innolux, Lenovo, Legend, Lite-On, NEC, Philips, Samsung, Sony, ViewSonic, and many other leading brands.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
      Our research and development efforts are performed within the following specialized groups:
  •  Algorithm Development Group: focuses on developing high-quality image processing technologies and their implementation in silicon.
 
  •  Product Development Group: focuses on developing standard semiconductor components to service our television, monitor and computer OEM customers. In addition, we develop semiconductor components to serve customers who are designing products for new market applications, such as flat-panel television and other potential mass markets.
 
  •  Software Engineering Group: develops the software environment required for our products to work within target systems. Software is now embedded in many of our products. The other major role of software engineering is tool development. We provide sophisticated software tools to help our customers develop their applications and customize their software to improve the productivity of those engineers involved in the process of getting their products into production.
      As of March 31, 2006, we had 240 full-time employees engaged in research and development. Expenditures for research and development, including non-cash stock-based compensation, were $48.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2006, $41.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2005, and $38.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2004.
CUSTOMERS, SALES AND MARKETING
      Our sales and marketing personnel work closely with customers, industry leaders, sales representatives and our distributors to define features, performance, price and market timing of our products. We focus on developing long-term customer relationships with both system manufacturers and equipment manufacturers. Our marketing group includes applications engineers who support customer designs as well as producing evaluation boards and reference designs for both LCD monitors and flat-panel television applications, thereby providing system on a chip (SOC) solutions that facilitate the integration of our products into the end products manufactured by our customers.
      We sell and market our products directly to customers and through regional sales representatives and distributors. Prior to selling our products, we provide our customers with technical support, design assistance and customer service at their facilities and through our various offices throughout the world. Our sales representatives and distributors also provide ongoing support and service on our behalf. We generally provide a one-year warranty for our products.
      We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from a limited number of products. For the year ended March 31, 2006, our top five products contributed 55% of our total revenues. For the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, our top five products contributed 51% and 44% of our total revenues, respectively.
      Our sales are also derived from a limited number of customers, with our largest five customers accounting for 51% of total revenues in fiscal 2006, 52% of total revenues in fiscal 2005 and 53% of total revenues in fiscal 2004.
      For the year ended March 31, 2006, three customers, LG Electronics, Inc., BenQ Inc., and Royal Philips Electronics N.V. each accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues. For the year ended March 31, 2005, two customers, Samsung Electronics Co. and LG Electronics, Inc., each accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues. For the year ended March 31, 2004, two customers, Samsung Electronics Co. and Royal Philips Electronics N.V., each accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues. At March 31, 2006 four customers represented more than 10% of accounts receivable trade. At March 31, 2005, one customer represented more than 10% of accounts receivable trade. The loss of any significant customer could have a material adverse impact on our business.

      We sell our products primarily outside of the United States. For the year ended March 31, 2006, 99% of our revenues were from sales to China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Europe, as well as other countries located in Asia and 1% of our revenues were from customers in the United States.
      Additional information on the concentration of our revenues by geography, customers and markets can be found in Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this report.
      As of March 31, 2006, our sales and marketing force totaled 206 people. This number includes application engineers, as well as sales field application engineers whose role is to create reference designs and assist our customers to incorporate our integrated circuits into their products.
MANUFACTURING
      Third parties with state-of-the-art fabrication equipment and technology manufacture our products. This approach enables us to focus on product design and development, minimizes capital expenditures and provides us with access to advanced manufacturing facilities. Currently, our products are primarily being fabricated, assembled or tested by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, International Semiconductor Engineering Labs, Global Advanced Packaging Technology Co. Ltd., STATS ChipPAC Ltd., and Siliconware Precision Industries Ltd. These manufacturers assemble and test our products based on the design and test specifications we have provided. After this process has been completed, our manufacturers ship the finished products to our third party logistics subcontractors in Asia. Through these subcontractors, we then ship our finished products to OEMs or system integrators for integration into their final product. As semiconductor manufacturing technologies advance, manufacturers typically retire their older manufacturing processes in favor of newer processes. When this occurs, the manufacturer generally provides notice to its customers of its intent to discontinue a process, and its customers will either retire the affected part or design a newer version of the part that can be manufactured with the more advanced process. Consequently, our products may become unavailable from their current manufacturers if the processes on which they are produced are discontinued. Our devices are produced using 0.25, 0.18, 0.16 and 0.13 micron process technologies, and the newer of these geometries will likely be available for the next two to three years. We must manage the transition to new parts from existing parts. We have commitments from our suppliers to provide notice of any discontinuance of their manufacturing processes in order to assist us in managing these types of product transitions.
      All of our products are currently sourced such that we have only one supplier for any one semiconductor die. As our volumes grow, we intend to secure sufficient fabrication capacity and diversify our sources of supply. Any inability of a current supplier to provide adequate capacity would require us to obtain products from alternate sources. There is a considerable amount of time required to change wafer fabrication suppliers for any single product, as well as substantial costs to bring that supplier into volume production. Should a source of a product cease to be available, we believe that this would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We have no guarantees of minimum capacity from our suppliers and are not liable for any significant minimum purchase commitments.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
      Genesis Microchip strives for continuous quality improvement and consistent delivery of high quality outputs at all stages of product development, manufacturing and delivery. We are an ISO 9001 certified company. We aim to provide reliable, high quality products and services by assigning stringent checks and controls at all stages of product creation and delivery.
      Our business model requires use of manufacturing subcontractors. Since we depend heavily on our subcontractors’ ability to meet our requirements and provide quality products, we must carefully select our subcontractors. We employ detailed processes for supplier qualification, monitoring and review to help ensure quality of our subcontractors’ deliverables. All our primary manufacturing subcontractors are ISO 9000 certified.

Table of Contents

      We also focus on continuous process improvement. This improvement is not limited to manufacturing and testing processes. We review our development and product planning processes in an effort to design quality into our products from the start. We also have demanding criteria for various stages of product release. Product is usually considered fit for release to mass production only when compliance to these criteria is considered satisfactory upon formal reviews.
      We use data provided by subcontractors as well as our own qualification testing in an effort to ensure that our products are reliable. This testing includes accelerated stress testing at elevated temperatures and voltages, environment testing and many other types of testing using methods which are recognized industry standards. The need for failure analysis may arise during product development or during use by a customer. We perform failure analysis of our devices using in-house and subcontracted facilities. Depending on the failure we use both non-destructive and destructive failure analysis techniques so as to ensure that any decisions to be taken as a result of the failure are informed and based on quantifiable information and data.
      We have also taken steps towards addressing environmental concerns. For example, we have qualified lead-free packaging for our products to provide our customers the option of ordering products in lead-free packaging. In addition, we have obtained ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System) certification for our Alviso, California site.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND LICENSES
      We protect our technology through a combination of patents, copyrights, trade secret laws, trademark registrations, confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements. We have over 210 United States and foreign patents with additional patent applications pending. In addition to the United States, we apply for and have been granted numerous patents in other jurisdictions, including Europe, China, Singapore, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea. Our patents relate to various aspects of algorithms, product design or architectures. To supplement our proprietary technology, we also license technology from third parties.
COMPETITION
      The market in which we operate is intensely competitive and is characterized by technological change, evolving industry standards and rapidly declining average selling prices. We face competition from both large companies and start-up companies, including ATI Technologies, Broadcom Corp., Intel Corp., LSI Logic Corp., Micronas Semiconductor Holding AG,. Mediatek Corp., Mstar Semiconductor, Inc., National Semiconductor, Novatek Microelectronics, Philips Semiconductors, a division of Philips Electronics N.V., Pixelworks, Inc., Realtek Semiconductor Corp., Silicon Image, Inc., ST Microelectronics, Inc., Trident Microsystems, Inc., Vastview and Zoran Corporation. In addition, many our of current and potential customers have their own internally developed integrated circuit solutions, and may choose not to purchase solutions from third party suppliers like Genesis. We anticipate that as the market for our products develops, our current customers may develop their own products and competition from diversified electronic and semiconductor companies will intensify. Some competitors are likely to include companies with greater financial and other resources than us. Increased competition could harm our business, by, for example, increasing pressure on our profit margins or causing us to lose customers.
      We believe that the principal competitive factors in our markets are:
  •  image quality,
 
  •  product design features and performance,
 
  •  product price,
 
  •  the time to market of our products, and
 
  •  the quality and speed of customer support.

BACKLOG
      Our customers typically order products by way of purchase orders that may be canceled or rescheduled without significant penalty. These purchase orders are subject to price negotiations and to changes in quantities of products and delivery schedules in order to reflect changes in customer requirements and manufacturing availability. Further, some of our customers are required to post a letter of credit or pay for the goods in advance of shipment. If the customer does not provide this type of security on a timely basis, the backlog may be rescheduled or may never result in a shipped order. Historically, most of our sales have been made pursuant to short lead-time orders and delivery schedules. In addition, our actual shipments depend on the manufacturing capability of our suppliers and the availability of products from those suppliers. As a result, we operate with a modest amount of backlog for any given quarter at any given time. Therefore, we do not believe that backlog is always a meaningful indicator of our future revenues. We do, however, track revenue and backlog trends on a quarter-to-quarter basis as a means of comparing revenue at a particular date in a quarter to revenue at comparable dates in past quarters.
EMPLOYEES
      As of March 31, 2006, we employed a total of 563 full-time employees, including 240 in research and development, 206 in sales and marketing, 43 in manufacturing operations and quality assurance, and 74 in finance, information technology, human resources and administration. We employ a number of temporary and part-time employees and consultants on a contract basis. Our employees are not represented by a collective bargaining organization. We believe that relations with our employees are satisfactory.
ITEM 1A.      RISK FACTORS
Our quarterly revenues and operating results fluctuate due to a variety of factors, which may result in volatility or a decline in our stock price.
      Our historical revenues and operating results have varied significantly from quarter to quarter. Moreover, our actual or projected operating results for some quarters may not meet the expectations of stock market analysts and investors, which may cause our stock price to decline. In addition to the factors discussed elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section, a number of factors may cause our revenue to fall short of our expectations or cause fluctuations in our operating results, including:
  •  Our ability to gain “design wins” with our customers and ramp new designs into production volumes;
 
  •  Growth rate of the flat-panel TV and LCD monitor markets;
 
  •  Seasonal consumer demand for flat-panel TVs and LCD monitors into which our products are incorporated;
 
  •  Customer inventory levels and market share;
 
  •  Changes in the mix of products we sell, especially between our higher-priced TV/video products and our lower-priced monitor products, and between our legacy two-chip solutions and newer one-chip solutions;
 
  •  Increased competition and competitive pricing pressures;
 
  •  Availability and pricing of panels and other components for flat-panel TVs and LCD monitors;
 
  •  Wafer costs and other product fabrication costs;
 
  •  Foreign exchange rate fluctuations, research and development tax credits and other factors that impact tax rates;
 
  •  Changes in product costs or manufacturing yields or available production capacity at our fabrication facilities; and
 
  •  Costs and outcome of legal proceedings.

Table of Contents

      As a result of the fluctuation in our revenues and operating results, our stock price can be volatile, especially if our actual financial performance in a quarter deviates from the financial targets we set at the beginning of that quarter, or from market expectations.
Our success will depend on the growth of the market for flat panel televisions and LCD monitors, and our customers’ share of those markets.
      Our ability to generate revenues depends on the growth of the market for flat-panel televisions, LCD computer monitors, and digital televisions. Since we do not sell to every manufacturer in those markets, our revenues also depend on how well our customers perform in those markets. To the extent that our customers’ share of the flat panel television, LCD monitor or digital television markets declines or does not grow, the sales of our products will be negatively impacted. In addition, our growth will also depend upon emerging markets for consumer electronics markets such as HDTV. The potential size of these markets and the timing of their development are uncertain and will depend in particular upon:
  •  A continued reduction in the costs of products in the respective markets;
 
  •  The availability, at a reasonable price, of components required by such products (such as LCD panels); and
 
  •  The emergence of competing technologies and standards.
      These and other potential markets may not develop as expected, which would harm our business.
We must develop new products and enhance our existing products to react to rapid technological change and market demands.
      We must develop new products and enhance our existing products with improved technologies to meet rapidly evolving customer requirements and industry standards. In addition, we are developing products for digital television, which is a new market and a new application for our display technology. We cannot assure you that we will be able to transition our current technology to meet the demands of the digital television market.
      We need to design products for customers that continually require higher functionality at lower costs. We must, therefore, continue to add features to our products and to include these features on a single chip. The development process for these advancements is lengthy and will require us to accurately anticipate technological innovations and market trends. Developing and enhancing these products is time-consuming, costly and complex.
      There is a risk that these developments and enhancements will be late, fail to meet customer or market specifications, and will not be competitive with other products using alternative technologies that offer comparable functionality. We may be unable to successfully develop new products or product enhancements. Any new products or product enhancements may not be accepted in new or existing markets. If we fail to develop and introduce new products or product enhancements, that failure will harm our business.
We face intense competition and may not be able to compete effectively.
      The markets in which we operate are intensely competitive and are characterized by technological change, evolving industry standards and rapidly declining average selling prices. We compete with both large and small companies, including ATI Technologies, Broadcom Corp., Intel Corp., LSI Logic Corp., Micronas Semiconductor Holding AG, Mediatek Corp., Mstar Semiconductor, Inc., National Semiconductor, Novatek Microelectronics, Philips Semiconductors, a division of Philips Electronics N.V., Pixelworks, Inc., Realtek Semiconductor Corp., Silicon Image, Inc., ST Microelectronics, Inc., Trident Microsystems, Inc., Vastview and Zoran Corporation. In addition, many of our current and potential customers have their own internally developed integrated circuit solutions, and may choose not to purchase solutions from third party suppliers like Genesis. We may also face competition from start-up companies.

Table of Contents

      As the markets for our products continue to develop, our current customers may increase reliance on their own internally developed solutions, and competition from diversified electronic and semiconductor companies will intensify. Some competitors, who may include our own customers, are likely to include companies with greater financial and other resources than we have. Our overseas competitors have reduced cost structures that enable them to compete aggressively on price. Increased competition could harm our business, by, for example, increasing pressure on our profit margins or causing us to lose customers. Also, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has affirmed the judgment of the federal district court for the Eastern District of Virginia that we have received a license from Silicon Image, Inc. for certain of their DVI and HDMI patents, and must pay Silicon Image royalties on all of our DVI and HDMI products. This judgment could hinder our ability to compete with unlicensed competitors that are not required to pay royalties on competing products.
Our customers experience fluctuating product cycles and seasonality, which causes their sales to fluctuate.
      Our products are incorporated into flat panel and CRT displays. Because the market for flat panel displays is characterized by numerous new product introductions, our operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Our customers also experience seasonality in the sales of their products, which affects their orders of our products. Typically, the second half of the calendar year represents a disproportionate percentage of sales for our customers due to the holiday shopping period for consumer electronics products, and therefore, a disproportionate percentage of our sales. Also, our sales in the first quarter of the calendar year may be lower as a result of the Chinese New Year holiday in Asia. We expect these sales fluctuations to continue for the foreseeable future.
A loss of any of our major customers could have a significant impact on our business.
      The markets for our products are highly concentrated. Our sales are derived from a limited number of customers. Sales to our largest five customers accounted for 51% of our revenues, and for our largest customer 15%, for the year ended March 31, 2006. We expect that a small number of customers will continue to account for a large amount of our revenues. The decision by any large customer to decrease or cease using our products could harm our business. In addition, our customers sell to a limited number of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The decision by any large OEM to decrease or cease using our customer’s products could, in turn, cause our customer to decrease or cease buying from us. Most of our sales are made on the basis of purchase orders rather than long-term agreements so that any customer could cease purchasing products at any time without penalty.
We must sell our current products in greater volumes, or introduce new products with improved margins.
      Average selling prices for our products have declined, in many cases significantly. When average selling prices decline, our revenues decline unless we are able to sell more units, and our gross margin dollars decline unless we are able to reduce our manufacturing and/or other supply chain costs by a commensurate amount. We therefore need to sell our current products in greater volumes to offset the decline in their ASPs, while also introduce new products that have improved gross margins.
Our semiconductor products are complex and are difficult to manufacture cost-effectively.
      The manufacture of semiconductors is a complex process. It is often difficult for semiconductor foundries to achieve acceptable product yields. Product yields depend on both our product design and the manufacturing process technology unique to the semiconductor foundry. Since low yields may result from either design or process difficulties, identifying yield problems may occur well into the production cycle, when a product exists which can be physically analyzed and tested. Low yields negatively impact our gross margins and our financial results.

Defects in our products could increase our costs, cause customer claims, and delay our product shipments.
      Although we test our products, they are complex and may contain defects and errors. In the past, we have encountered defects and errors in our products. Delivery of products with defects or reliability, quality or compatibility problems may damage our reputation and our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers. In addition, product defects and errors could result in additional development costs, diversion of technical resources, delayed product shipments, increased product returns, and product liability claims against us which may not be covered by insurance. Any of these could harm our business.
We subcontract our manufacturing, assembly and test operations.
      We do not have our own fabrication facilities, assembly or testing operations. Instead, we rely on others to fabricate, assemble and test all of our products. Most of our products use silicon wafers manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, the loss of which could result in a material increase in the price we must pay for silicon wafers. There are many risks associated with our dependence upon outside manufacturing, including:
  •  Lack of adequate capacity during periods of excess demand;
 
  •  Increased manufacturing cost or the unavailability of product in the event that manufacturing capacity becomes constrained;
 
  •  Reduced control over manufacturing and delivery schedules of products;
 
  •  Reduced control over quality assurance and reliability;
 
  •  Difficulty of management of manufacturing costs and quantities;
 
  •  Potential misappropriation of intellectual property; and
 
  •  Political or environmental risks (including earthquake and other natural disasters) in Taiwan, where the manufacturing facilities are located;
      We depend upon outside manufacturers to fabricate silicon wafers on which our integrated circuits are imprinted. These wafers must be of acceptable quality and in sufficient quantity and the manufacturers must deliver them to assembly and testing subcontractors on time for packaging into final products. We have at times experienced delivery delays and long manufacturing lead times. These manufacturers fabricate, test and assemble products for other companies. We cannot be sure that our manufacturers will devote adequate resources to the production of our products or deliver sufficient quantities of finished products to us on time or at an acceptable cost. The lead-time necessary to establish strategic relationships with new manufacturing partners is considerable. We would be unable to readily obtain an alternative source of supply for any of our products if this proves necessary. Any occurrence of these manufacturing difficulties could harm our business or cause us to incur costs to obtain adequate and timely supply of products.
Intellectual property infringement suits brought against us or our customers may significantly harm our business.
      We defended claims brought against us by Silicon Image, Inc., alleging that certain of our products that contain digital receivers infringe various Silicon Image patent claims. In addition, IP Innovation LLC has sued Dell Computer Corporation, LG Electronics and other companies that incorporate our products into their displays, alleging patent infringement by certain consumer and professional electronics products, including some that contain our display controller products. This lawsuit, or any future patent infringement lawsuits, could subject us to permanent injunctions preventing us from selling the accused products and/or cause us to incur significant costs, including defense costs, settlements and judgments. In addition, as a result of this lawsuit or any future patent infringement lawsuits, our existing customers may decide to stop buying our products, and prospective customers may be unwilling to buy our products.

Table of Contents

      Intellectual property lawsuits, regardless of their success, are time-consuming and expensive to resolve and divert management time and attention.
      In addition, if we are unsuccessful and our products (or our customers’ monitors or televisions that contain our products) are found to infringe the intellectual property rights of others, we could be forced to do one or more of the following:
  •  Stop selling the products or using the technology that are allegedly infringing;
 
  •  Attempt to obtain a license to the relevant intellectual property, which license may not be available on reasonable terms or at all;
 
  •  Incur substantial costs including defense costs, settlements and/or judgments; and
 
  •  Attempt to redesign those products that are allegedly infringing.
      As a result, intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, financial results and market share.
We may be required to indemnify our customers against claims of intellectual property infringement.
      From time to time, we enter into agreements with our customers that contain indemnification provisions for claims based on infringement of third party intellectual property rights. As a result, if such a claim based on our products is made against an indemnified customer, we may be required under our indemnification obligations to defend or settle the litigation, and/or to reimburse that customer for its costs, including defense costs, settlements and judgments. We may also be subject to claims for indemnification under statutory or common law. For example, we have agreed to indemnify some of our customers in connection with lawsuits or threatened lawsuits by IP Innovation LLC against Dell Computer Corporation, LG Electronics and other consumer electronics companies, alleging patent infringement by various products that contain our display controller products. This or other patent litigation and any indemnification obligations we may have could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, financial results and market share, and could result in significant payments by us that could have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as non-disclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary technologies.
      We have been issued patents and have pending United States and foreign patent applications. However, we cannot assure you that any patent will be issued as a result of any applications or, if issued, that any claims allowed will be sufficiently broad to protect our technology. It may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our products, or technology without authorization, develop similar technology independently or design around our patents. Effective patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in foreign countries. In addition, it is possible that existing or future patents, or even court rulings in our favor regarding our patents, may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. For example, U.S. Customs has declined to apply our ITC exclusion order to MStar’s Tsunami (or TSU) products; see Part II: Other Information Item 3, “Legal Proceedings.”
Our products require licenses of third-party technology that may not be available to us on reasonable terms, or at all.
      We license technology from third parties that is incorporated into our products. Future products or product enhancements may require additional third-party licenses, which may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. We also license third-party intellectual property in order to comply with display technology standards. For example, we signed the DVI Adopters Agreement and the HDMI Adopters Agreement in order to obtain a license to those standards. However, even though we licensed the DVI technology, Silicon Image, Inc., one of the promoters of the DVI standard, sued us for allegedly infringing certain DVI patents. If we are unable to obtain third-party licenses required to develop new

11


Table of Contents

products and product enhancements, or to comply with applicable standards, we could be at competitive disadvantage.
The processes used to manufacture our semiconductor products are periodically retired.
      As semiconductor manufacturing technologies advance, manufacturers typically retire their older manufacturing processes in favor of newer processes. When this occurs, the manufacturer generally provides notice to its customers of its intent to discontinue a process, and its customers will either retire the affected part or design a newer version of the part that can be manufactured on the more advanced process. Consequently, our products may become unavailable from their current manufacturers if the processes on which they are produced are discontinued. Our devices are mainly 0.18, 0.16 and 0.13 micron technology and the newer of these geometries will likely be available for the next two to three years. We must manage the transition to new parts from existing parts. We have commitments from our suppliers to provide notice of any discontinuance of their manufacturing processes.
We do not have long-term commitments from our customers, and we allocate resources based on our estimates of customer demand.
      Our sales are made on the basis of purchase orders rather than long-term purchase commitments. In addition, our customers may cancel or defer purchase orders. We manufacture our products according to our estimates of customer demand. This process requires us to make multiple demand forecast assumptions, each of which may introduce error into our estimates. If we overestimate customer demand, we may manufacture products that we may not be able to sell. As a result, we would have excess inventory, which would increase our losses. Conversely, if we underestimate customer demand or if sufficient manufacturing capacity were unavailable, we would forego revenue opportunities, lose market share and damage our customer relationships.
Our lengthy sales cycle can result in uncertainty and delays in generating revenues.
      Because our products are based on new technology and standards, a lengthy sales process, typically requiring several months or more, is often required before potential customers begin the technical evaluation of our products. This technical evaluation can then exceed nine months. It can take an additional nine months before a customer commences volume shipments of systems that incorporate our products. However, even when a manufacturer decides to design our products into its systems, the manufacturer may never ship systems incorporating our products. Given our lengthy sales cycle, we experience a delay between the time we increase expenditures for research and development, sales and marketing efforts and inventory and the time we generate revenues, if any, from these expenditures. As a result, our business could be harmed if a significant customer reduces or delays its orders or chooses not to release products incorporating our products.
A large percentage of our revenues will come from sales outside of the United States, which creates additional business risks.
      A large portion of our revenues will come from sales to customers outside of the United States, particularly to equipment manufacturers located in South Korea, China, Europe, Japan and Taiwan. For the year ended March 31, 2006, sales to regions outside of the United States represented 99% of revenues. For that same period, sales to China and South Korea alone constituted 43% and 19%, respectively. These sales are subject to numerous risks, including:
  •  Fluctuations in currency exchange rates, tariffs, import restrictions and other trade barriers;
 
  •  Unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
 
  •  Political and economic instability;
 
  •  Exposure to litigation or government investigations in these countries;
 
  •  Longer payment periods;
 
  •  Ability to enforce contracts or payment terms;

12


Table of Contents

  •  Potentially adverse tax consequences;
 
  •  Export license requirements; and
 
  •  Unexpected changes in diplomatic and trade relationships.
      Because our sales are denominated in United States dollars, increases in the value of the United States dollar could increase the price of our products in non-U.S. markets and may make our products more expensive than competitors’ products denominated in local currencies.
We are subject to risks associated with international operations, which may harm our business.
      We depend on product design groups located outside of the United States, primarily in Canada and India. We also rely on foreign third-party manufacturing, assembly and testing operations. These foreign operations subject us to a number of risks associated with conducting business outside of the United States, including the following:
  •  Unexpected changes in, or impositions of, legislative or regulatory requirements;
 
  •  Delays resulting from difficulty in obtaining export licenses for certain technology, tariffs, quotas and other trade barriers and restrictions;
 
  •  Imposition of additional taxes and penalties;
 
  •  The burdens of complying with a variety of foreign laws; and
 
  •  Other factors beyond our control, including acts of terrorism, which may delay the shipment of our products, impair our ability to travel or our ability to communicate with foreign locations.
      In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries in which our products are or may be designed, manufactured or sold may not protect our products or intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. This increases the possibility of piracy of our technology and products.
Our multi-jurisdictional tax structure is complex and we could be subject to increased taxation.
      We conduct business operations in a number of countries and are subject to taxation in those jurisdictions. We develop our tax position based upon the anticipated nature and structure of our business and the tax laws, administrative practices and judicial decisions now in effect in the countries in which we have assets or conduct business, all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations. We are also subject to audit by local tax authorities which could result in additional tax expense in future periods. Any increase in our income tax expense could adversely impact on our future earnings and cash flows.
      In addition, some of our subsidiaries provide products and services to, and may undertake significant transactions with, our other subsidiaries that are incorporated in different jurisdictions. Some of these jurisdictions have tax laws with detailed transfer pricing rules which require that all transactions with non-resident related parties be priced using arm’s-length pricing principles. International transfer pricing is a complex area of taxation and generally involves a significant degree of judgment. If international taxation authorities successfully challenge our transfer pricing policies, our income tax expense may be adversely affected.
The cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry may lead to significant variances in the demand for our products.
      In the past, significant downturns and wide fluctuations in supply and demand have characterized the semiconductor industry. Also, the industry has experienced significant fluctuations in anticipation of changes in general economic conditions, including economic conditions in Asia. These cycles have led to significant variances in product demand and production capacity. They have also accelerated the erosion of average selling prices per unit. We may experience periodic fluctuations in our future financial results because of changes in industry-wide conditions.

A breakdown in our information technology systems could cause a business interruption, impair our ability to manage our business or report results, or result in the unauthorized disclosure of our confidential and proprietary information.
      Our information technology systems could suffer a sudden breakdown as a result of factors beyond our control, such as earthquakes, insecure connections or problems with our outside consultants who provide information technology services to us. If our information technology systems were to fail and we were not able to gain timely access to adequate alternative systems or back-up information, this could have a negative impact on our ability to operate and manage our business and to report results in a timely manner. Also, any breach of our information systems by an unauthorized third party could result in our confidential information being made public or being used by a competitor, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to realize the potential of our proprietary rights.
We may make acquisitions where advisable, and acquisitions involve numerous risks.
      Our growth is dependent upon market growth and our ability to enhance our existing products and introduce new products on a timely basis. One of the ways we may address the need to develop new products is through acquisitions of other companies or technologies, such as our acquisitions of Sage and the assets of VM Labs. These acquisitions and potential future acquisitions involve numerous risks, including the following:
  •  We may experience difficulty in assimilating the acquired operations and employees;
 
  •  We may be unable to retain the key employees of the acquired operations;
 
  •  The acquisitions may disrupt our ongoing business;
 
  •  We may not be able to incorporate successfully the acquired technologies and operations into our business and maintain uniform standards, controls, policies and procedures;
 
  •  We may lack the experience to enter into new markets, products or technologies; and
 
  •  An acquisition we choose to pursue may require a significant amount of capital, which limits our ability to pursue other strategic opportunities.
      Acquisitions of high-technology companies are inherently risky, and no assurance can be given that our recent or potential future acquisitions will be successful and will not adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition. We must also maintain our ability to manage growth effectively. Failure to manage growth effectively and successfully integrate acquisitions made by us could materially harm our business and operating results.
We may become subject to judgments for securities class action suits.
      We have been a defendant in a securities class action suit. In March 2006, Genesis and the plaintiff signed an agreement to settle the lawsuit. However, we may be subject to future securities class action suits, which could subject us to judgments in excess of our insurance coverage and could harm our business. In addition, this kind of lawsuit, regardless of its outcome, is likely to be time-consuming and expensive to resolve and may divert management time and resources.
We need to continually evaluate internal financial controls against evolving standards.
      The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and newly proposed or enacted rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Association of Securities Dealers impose new duties on us and our executives, directors, attorneys and independent registered public accountants. In order to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and such new rules and regulations, we have evaluated our internal controls systems to allow management to report on, and our independent auditors to attest to, our internal controls. As a result, we have incurred additional expenses for internal and outside legal, accounting and advisory services, which have increased our operating expenses and accordingly reduced our net income or increased our net losses. While we have met the requirements of Section 404 including the evaluation, documentation and testing of internal

14


Table of Contents

controls for the year ended March 31, 2006, we cannot be certain as to the future outcome of our testing and resulting remediation actions or the impact of the same on our operations. We have an ongoing program to perform the system and process evaluation and testing necessary to comply with these requirements and we expect to continue to incur significant expenses in connection with this process. In the event that our chief executive officer, chief financial officer or independent registered public accounting firm determine in the future that our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective as defined under Section 404, investor perceptions may be adversely affected and could cause a decline in the market price of our stock. In addition, current regulatory standards are subject to change, and additional standards may be imposed.
General economic conditions may reduce our revenues and harm our business.
      As our business has grown, we have become increasingly subject to the risks arising from adverse changes in domestic and global economic conditions. During times of economic slowdown, many industries may delay or reduce technology purchases. As a result, if economic conditions in the United States, Asia or Europe worsen, or if a wider or global economic slowdown occurs, reduced orders and shipments may cause us to fall short of our revenue expectations for any given period and may result in us carrying increased inventory. These conditions would negatively affect our business and results of operations. If our inventory builds up as a result of order postponement, we would carry excess inventory that is either unusable or that must be sold at reduced prices which will harm our revenues and gross margins . In addition, weakness in the technology market could negatively affect the cash flow of our customers who could, in turn, delay paying their obligations to us. This would increase our credit risk exposure, which could harm our financial condition.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Silicon Image Litigation
      In April 2001, Silicon Image, Inc. (“Silicon Image”) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Genesis in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (“District Court”) and simultaneously filed a complaint before the United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”). The complaint and suit alleged that certain Genesis products that contain digital receivers infringe various Silicon Image patent

17


Table of Contents

claims. Silicon Image was seeking an injunction to halt the sale, manufacture and use of Genesis’s DVI receiver products and unspecified monetary damages. In December 2001, Silicon Image formally moved to withdraw its complaint before the ITC and those proceedings have terminated.
      In July 2003, the District Court issued a memorandum opinion, followed by a final judgment in August 2003 and an amended final judgment in December 2003. In its opinion, the District Court ruled that Genesis and Silicon Image have settled their disputes based on a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) signed on December 18, 2002. The District Court’s opinion states that the MOU is a binding settlement agreement and that Genesis will pay Silicon Image a monetary settlement, license fee and running royalties on all DVI and HDMI products. We recorded a provision for costs associated with this patent litigation in the year ended March 31, 2003, a portion of which was paid in escrow to the court in August 2003. An additional undisclosed amount was paid to the court as a bond in March 2004. The payments to the court have been accounted for as reductions of the related liability. In addition, Genesis has continued to reserve estimated amounts that may be payable to Silicon Image pursuant to the District Court’s judgment regarding the MOU since the year ended March 31, 2003.
      In January 2004, Genesis filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. In April 2006, the Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court’s decision.
      The future financial impact arising from any appeal or other legal actions related to the dispute is not yet determinable and no other provision has been made in our consolidated financial statements for any future costs associated with this claim, other than the estimated amounts that may be payable under the MOU as noted above.
Mstar Litigation
      Genesis filed a patent infringement complaint against MStar Semiconductor, Inc. (“Mstar”) in the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”) in 2003. In August 2004, the ITC determined that MStar and the other respondents infringe Genesis’s patent, and issued an exclusion order preventing the importation of MStar’s and the other respondents’ infringing display controllers into the United States, as well as LCD monitors and boards containing these products. However, U.S. Customs has declined to enforce the ITC’s exclusion order against MStar’s Tsunami (or TSU) products. In December 2004, Mstar filed an appeal of the exclusion order and related ITC rulings to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. In May 2006, the Court of Appeals upheld the ITC’s decision in favor of Genesis. Also, in April 2006, Genesis filed a motion to enforce the exclusion order against Mstar’s Tsunami products in the ITC. The motion is pending.
      The future financial impact of this dispute is not determinable and no provision has been made in our consolidated financial statements for any future costs or settlements associated with these claims.
Securities Class Action Litigation
      In November 2002, a putative securities class action captioned Kuehbeck v. Genesis Microchip et al., Civil Action No. 02-CV-05344, was filed against Genesis, former Chief Executive Officer Amnon Fisher, and former Interim Chief Executive Officer Eric Erdman, and amended in July 2003 to include Executive Vice President Anders Frisk (collectively the “Individual Defendants”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder against Genesis and the Individual Defendants, and violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the Individual Defendants. The complaint sought unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of Genesis’s common stock between April 29, 2002 and June 14, 2002. In July 2005, the court granted Genesis’s motion to dismiss the case, with prejudice. The plaintiffs filed an appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The parties signed an agreement to settle the case in March 2006.
      An unfavorable resolution of any of these lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on Genesis’s business, results of operations or financial condition.
      We are not a party to any other material legal proceedings.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
      The following contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding anticipated revenues, gross margins, operating expenses, amortization of intangibles and stock-based compensation, liquidity, business strategy, demand for our products, average selling prices, regional market growth, and future competition. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Factors which could cause actual results to differ materially include those set forth in the following discussion, and, in particular, the risks discussed below under the subheading “Risk Factors” and in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements.
      We begin Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) with a general discussion of our target markets, the nature of our products, and some of the business issues we are facing as a company. Next, we address the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated in our reported financial results. We then discuss our Results of Operations for the year ended March 31, 2006, or fiscal 2006, compared to fiscal 2005 and 2004, and corresponding quarterly information within those quarters as viewed through the eyes of Management. Lastly, we provide an analysis of changes in our balance sheet and cash flows, and discuss our financial commitments. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the other sections of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
OVERVIEW
Our Markets
      We develop and market image-processing and image enhancing solutions. We design, develop and market integrated circuits that receive and process digital video and graphic images. We also supply reference boards and designs that incorporate our software and proprietary integrated circuits, or chips. We have recently introduced a panel timing controller product. Our products are primarily used in large-area liquid crystal displays (“LCDs”). These displays may be used in desktop monitor applications or other types of display devices, including LCD TVs, Plasma TVs, Rear Projection TVs, Digital CRT TVs and AVRs (Audio/Video Receivers).

Table of Contents

      We generate the majority of our revenue by selling our image-processing solutions to the manufacturers of LCD monitors, flat panel displays and television sets. We outsource the manufacturing of our products to large semiconductor manufacturers, thereby eliminating the need for capital-intensive plant and equipment. Our most significant cash operating expense is labor, with our workforce employed in research and development of new products and technologies and in marketing, sales, customer support, and distribution of our products.
      Our primary target end-markets are LCD computer monitors and flat panel televisions. We also design products that serve both applications, so-called multi-function monitors, and it is difficult to distinguish between a monitor with television capability and a television with a PC input. Both of these display devices could use the same Genesis chip. Similarly, we supply certain customers with chips originally designed for a LCD computer monitor that the customer may use in flat panel televisions. We assist customers in developing their designs. Typically, a TV design will take more time and support from our software and field application engineers than a monitor design, increasing our costs during a customer’s pre-production period.
      The growth in our target markets is limited by the industry’s capacity to supply LCD panels or other digital displays. Furthermore, the availability of LCD panels from time to time has been constrained, causing unexpected increases in the cost of LCD panels to our customers, thus resulting in customers rapidly changing their demand expectations for our products. Our products usually represent less than two percent of the average retail cost of a standard flat panel TV today, while the cost of the LCD panel within a LCD computer monitor or flat panel TV represents the majority of the cost of the finished product. Consequently, constraints on availability of LCD panels or increases in panel costs can result in reduced demand for our products, and it is very difficult to accurately predict the availability or cost of LCD panels and well beyond our means to control. Conversely, it is the increase in production volumes of larger size LCD panels in new fabrication facilities coming on line over the next several years that is expected to result in lower-cost panels and hence lower average selling prices of the end product. We believe retail prices will continue to decline and we expect this trend to lead to an increase in demand for display controllers.
      The LCD computer monitor and flat panel TV industries are very competitive and growth industries like ours tend to attract new entrants. Our average selling prices of monitor display controllers, in spite of increased functionality have declined by more than 40% over the past two fiscal years. Our strategy is to maintain market leadership through integration of new features and functions and by providing the highest image quality at a cost-effective price. We believe we are able to deliver the desired feature-rich image quality through relationships with customers, patented technologies, effective chip design, software capabilities, and customer support. While maintaining our leadership in image quality and product feature sets, we strive to maximize profitability by reducing product cost through efficient chip design and driving costs down throughout our supply chain.
      While we primarily market and sell our integrated circuits directly to manufacturers, we have sold finished systems, primarily to the high-end home theater market, under the Faroudja brand. These products were generally sold through specialty retail channels and represented a very small portion of our overall revenue (less than 2.5% of revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005). During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, we entered into a strategic alliance with Meridian Audio Limited that gives Meridian the right to manufacture and distribute Genesis’s Faroudja home theater solutions, and to promote the Faroudja brand, on a worldwide basis as part of Meridian’s product portfolio. These products will be marketed and distributed through Meridian’s global distribution network. While Genesis will continue to develop advanced Faroudja algorithms for integration into its integrated circuit (“IC”) products, it has discontinued the manufacture and sale of home theater systems.
      Sales to distributors comprised approximately 21% of revenue for the year ended March 31, 2006. This percentage is expected to increase, especially as sales volumes increase in China and Japan, where our use of distributors is more prevalent. We are also using distributor relationships to enable us to increase our market penetration of smaller customers with minimal incremental direct customer support.
      Average selling prices and product margins of our products are typically highest during the initial periods following product introduction and decline over time and as volume increases.

      Part of our overall strategy is to develop intellectual property that is used in our integrated circuits. We have and will continue to defend our intellectual property rights against those companies that may use our technology without the proper authorization. At times we may enter into agreements that allow customers or other companies to license our patented technology.
Revenue Recognition
      Genesis recognizes revenue from semiconductor product sales to customers when a contract is established, the price is determined, shipment is made and collectibility is reasonably assured. Product sales to distributors may be subject to agreements having a right of return on termination of the distributor relationship. Revenue, and related cost of revenues from sales to distributors, is deferred until the distributors resell the product, verified by point-of-sale reports. At the time of shipment to distributors, we record a trade receivable for the selling price, relieve inventory of the value of the product shipped and record the gross margin as deferred revenue, a component of accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. In certain circumstances, where orders are placed with non-cancelable/non-return terms, we recognize revenue upon shipment. Reserves for sales returns and allowances are recorded at the time of recognizing revenue. To date, we have not experienced significant product returns.
Manufacturing and Supply
      We generally need to place purchase orders for products before we receive purchase orders from our customers. This is because production lead times for silicon wafers and substrates, from which our products are manufactured, can be as long as three to four months, while many of our customers place orders only one month or less in advance of their requested delivery date. We have agreements with suppliers in Asia such that we are dependent on the suppliers’ manufacturing yields. We continue to review and, where feasible, establish alternative sources of supply to reduce our reliance on individual key suppliers and reduce lead times, though dual sourcing for specific products sometimes is more costly due to initial set-up costs and lower initial yields as each new manufacturing supplier ramps up production. While we have frequent communication with significant customers to review their requirements, we are restricted in our ability to react to fluctuations in demand for our products, which exposes us to the risk of having either too much or not enough of a particular product. We regularly evaluate the carrying value of inventory held. For the year ended March 31, 2006, we recorded net reserves totaling $1,080,000, for inventory which we did not foresee sufficient demand to support the carrying value or where the market price was less than our actual cost. An example of this would be where certain customers transitioned to next generation products more quickly than anticipated.
Global Operations
      We operate through subsidiaries and offices in several countries throughout the world. Our head office is located in Alviso (Silicon Valley), California. Our research and development resources are located in the United States, Canada and India. The majority of our customers are located in Asia, supported by our sales offices in China, Germany, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. Our third party suppliers are located primarily in Taiwan. Although all of our revenues and virtually all of our costs of revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars, portions of our operating expenses are denominated in foreign currencies. Accordingly, our operating results are affected by changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and those currencies. Any future strengthening of those currencies against the U.S. dollar could negatively impact our operating results by increasing our operating expenses as measured in U.S. dollars.
      We do not currently engage in any hedging or other transactions intended to manage the risks relating to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, other than natural hedges that occur as a result of holding both assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Our operating expenses are also affected by changes in the rate of inflation in the various countries in which we operate.

Mergers, Acquisitions and Strategic Investments
      Technology companies often use mergers, acquisitions and strategic investments to accelerate development of products, to realize potential synergies or to enter new markets. We have made significant acquisitions in the past, for example Sage Inc. in February 2002, resulting in the recording of significant intangible assets on our balance sheet.
      In April 2006, we entered into a cross-licensing agreement with Mobilygen Corp., a privately held company that is developing H.264 and other video codec solutions for mobile devices. The agreement will give both companies access to certain technologies for select markets and enables them to jointly define future products to complement existing product portfolios. In addition, Genesis made an equity investment in Mobilygen, and Elias Antoun, our president and CEO, joined Mobilygen’s board of directors.
      For details on other mergers, acquisitions and strategic investments, please refer to previously filed Annual and Quarterly Reports.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. As described below, significant estimates are used in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence provision, deferred tax asset valuation, potential settlements and costs associated with patent litigation, royalty obligations to third parties and the useful lives of intangible assets. We evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis, including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty and royalty obligations, litigation and other contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
      We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements:
  •  We record estimated reductions to revenue for customer returns based on historical experience. A customer has a right to return products only if the product is faulty or upon termination of a distributor agreement, although in certain circumstances we agree to accept returns if replacement orders are placed for other products or to maintain our business relationship. If actual customer returns increase, we may be required to recognize additional reductions to revenue.
 
  •  We record the estimated future cost of replacing faulty product as an increase to cost of revenues. To date we have not experienced significant returns related to quality. If returns increase as a result of changes in product quality, we may be required to recognize additional warranty expense.
 
  •  We maintain allowances for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments and other disputes. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. We have not suffered any significant loss in this area.
 
  •  We provide for inventory obsolescence reserves against our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those we project, additional inventory valuation reserves may be required.
 
  •  We provide for costs associated with settling litigation when we believe that we have a reasonable basis for estimating those costs. If actual costs associated with settling litigation differ from our estimates, we may be required to recognize additional costs.

  •  Goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations, is tested annually for impairment, and is tested for impairment more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the goodwill might be impaired. The impairment tests are performed in accordance with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Accordingly, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. This determination is made at the reporting unit level. We have assigned all goodwill to a single, enterprise-level reporting unit. The impairment test consists of two steps. First, we determine the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value is then compared to its carrying amount. Second, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill would be determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in accordance with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations”. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. We perform our annual impairment test on January 1st of each year.
  We did not record any goodwill impairment charges in fiscal 2006, 2005, or 2004. Goodwill balances may also be affected by changes in other estimates, for example, related to the ability to utilize acquired tax benefits, made at the time of acquisitions.
  •  We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. Should we determine that we will not be able to realize all or part of our gross deferred tax asset, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be charged to income in the period such determination was made. In making this determination, we project taxable income by jurisdiction for the next three years based on market assumptions and company plans, and other jurisdictional history.
 
  •  We record an estimated royalty cost based on our assessment of the potential liability arising from our Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Silicon Image, Inc. If actual costs associated with the MOU differ from our estimates, we may be required to adjust the costs.
 
  •  From time to time, we incur costs related to potential merger activities. When we assess that we will be the acquirer for accounting purposes in such transactions and we expect to complete the transaction, direct costs associated with the acquisition are deferred and form part of the final purchase price. In the event these assessments change, any such deferred costs would be expensed. Costs associated with other merger activities are expensed as incurred.

Revenue
      Total revenue for the year ended March 31, 2006 increased by 32% to $269.5 million from $204.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2005, which in turn represented a decrease of 4.4% from $213.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2004. While unit shipments increased by 37% to 62.6 million units from 45.8 million units in fiscal 2005, as the markets in which we operate continue to grow, the increase in dollar terms was slightly offset by lower blended average selling prices (“ASPs”), which decreased by 3%.
      Monitor controller ASPs have continued to decline. However, estimated revenue from this market increased to $117.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2006 from $109.9 million in fiscal 2005, as higher unit shipments were partially offset by ASP declines of 15%. Our estimate of unit shipments into flat panel televisions grew by 87% during the year, driving estimated revenue from this market to $137 million, an increase of 81% compared to fiscal 2005. Total revenues from shipments into displays with video capability, such as LCD television, continue to increase and have become a larger proportion of total revenue. During fiscal 2006, we estimate that approximately 57% of total revenue was from TV and video products, compared with 46% for fiscal 2005, and we expect this percentage to increase during fiscal 2007.
      Unit shipments of all controllers increased 37% in fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005, while ASPs declined by only 3% during the same period, as our TV controllers, which have a much higher ASP, increased in volume in relation to the entire units shipped.
      We continue to ship the majority of our product to customers located in Asia, and we expect most of the growth to come from this area in the future. Within Asia, shipments into China and Japan have increased significantly over the last two years.
Gross Profit
      Gross profit for the year ended March 31, 2006 was $116.5 million, an increase of approximately 48% compared with fiscal 2005. Gross profit percentage for fiscal 2006 was 43.2% compared with 38.6% in fiscal 2005 and 36.9% in fiscal 2004. Maintaining a healthy gross profit margin in a high volume industry where ASPs decline steadily over time is one of our main challenges. Our long-term target for gross margins is approximately 42-45%.

      Research and development expenses include costs associated with research and development personnel, application engineers, development tools, hardware and software licenses, prototyping and the amortization of acquired intangibles. Research and development expenses for the year ended March 31, 2006 were $48.7 million, compared with $41.5 million in fiscal 2005 and $38.6 million in fiscal 2004. These annual increases are a reflection of the continued investment in the research and development of technologies addressing the television and video markets, especially the digital TV market and other related technologies, such as timing controllers. In addition, the mix of spending has changed, as we devote increasing resources to improving performance and integration of the more complex multimedia and video applications, especially digital TV technologies, while the focus within the monitor applications has moved more towards technologies supporting multi-function monitors. Genesis’s move towards lower geometry processes, including 0.13 micron and lower, for its highly integrated SOC digital TV chips has also increased research and development spending.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of personnel and related overhead costs for selling, including field application engineers, product marketing, marketing communications, customer support, finance, human resources, legal, IT, public company costs related, but not limited to, our compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, general management functions and commissions paid to sales representatives. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended March 31, 2006 were $48.7 million, compared with $45.6 million in fiscal 2005 and $47.1 million in fiscal 2004.
      The increase of $3.1 million in fiscal 2006 from fiscal 2005 was related to our investment in additional labor and contractor resources, particularly field application engineers, to support the expected growth in the advanced display market. We provide technical sales support through field application engineers in China, Europe, Japan, India, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. These engineers assist our customers to integrate our products into their display designs. We believe that this kind of investment at the early stages of a growing market positions us well to capitalize on the future unit growth that is forecasted for the television market. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in fiscal 2006 from fiscal 2005 of patent litigation costs of $1.3 million and stock compensation expense of $2.0 million.
      The decrease of $1.5 million in fiscal 2005 from fiscal 2004 was due to a reduction of patent litigation costs of $10.0 million as the majority of the fees in the preceding year were related to our now-completed ITC trial and related activities in the LCD monitor market. This reduction was partially offset by additional costs incurred in fiscal 2005 including an investment of $2.9 million for increased labor resources, an increase of $1.6 million related to stock compensation expense, initial costs of $1.8 million related to the compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and severance and other costs of $1.0 million associated with the departure of certain employees.

      Interest income includes interest earned on cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Interest income earned in fiscal 2006 increased by $3,464,000 from $1,939,000 to $5,403,000 due to the combined effects of higher average cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and higher average interest rates during fiscal 2006 as compared to fiscal 2005. Interest income earned in fiscal 2005 increased by $877,000 from $1,062,000 to $1,939,000 also due to the combined effects of higher average cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and higher average interest rates during fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004.
      During fiscal 2004, we sold 36% of our minority interest in a private company for approximately $1.1 million realizing a gain of $0.7 million. The remaining investment with a carrying value of $0.8 million is included in other long term assets.

    $ 6,082     $ 2,954     $ (1,063 )
                   
      We recorded income tax expense of $6.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2006, compared with expense of $3.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2005 and a recovery of $1.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2004.
      Our accounting effective tax rate for fiscal 2006 is 25%, which is substantially lower than the fiscal 2005 rate. Our tax rate differs from the expected statutory rates due to several permanent differences including, but not limited to, research and experimental development tax credits, stock-based compensation expense, foreign exchange fluctuations on the US dollar denominated working capital balances of foreign subsidiaries, and differences in tax rates in foreign jurisdictions. Any net tax benefit of these items is partially offset by changes in the valuation allowance against net operating loss carry forwards. A valuation allowance is recorded to the extent that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Historically, the majority of the valuation allowance in the financial statements has been against the tax attributes in the United States. Therefore, the effective tax rate will continue to be directly impacted by the mix of earnings between the United States and foreign jurisdictions.
      The increase in tax expense for fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, resulted primarily from much higher profitability. Income tax expense in fiscal 2005 also included a charge of approximately $3.7 million as a result of a repatriation of approximately $73 million of funds by our Canadian subsidiary which was treated as a dividend for U.S. tax purposes. Certain provisions of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (AJCA), which was signed into law on October 22, 2004, allow for only 15% of this dividend to be taxable, but this may not be sheltered by net operating losses. This charge in fiscal 2005 also increased our effective tax rate for the year. We do not expect to repatriate any more earnings from international affiliates in the foreseeable future as we consider the investments to be permanent in nature. The Company has not

Table of Contents

recognized a deferred tax liability of approximately $16,400,000 for the unremitted earnings of its foreign affiliates.
      As of March 31, 2006, we had generated deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. We have approximately $137 million of operating loss carry forwards to offset future taxable income. A portion of the carry forwards expire on various dates through 2026, if not used. Utilization of a portion of net operating losses is subject to an annual limitation due to the ownership change provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions.
      We have established a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets related to certain net operating loss carry forwards. At March 31, 2006, the valuation allowance totaled $72 million and we have $11 million of net deferred tax assets on our balance sheet. We may record additional valuation allowances in the future. The benefit of $90 million of operating loss carryforwards, which relate to acquired entities or deductions associated with the exercise of certain stock options, if utilized, will result in an increase to equity and/or a reduction of goodwill.
      Future income tax provision amounts will depend on our effective tax rates, the distribution of taxable income between taxation jurisdictions, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the amount of research and development performed in Canada, other variables, and the likelihood of being able to utilize available tax credits or losses.

(4)  Certain costs of $319,000, $419,000, $330,000 and $263,000 for the first, second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2006 associated with patent litigation have been reclassified to Selling, general and administrative from a single classification within Operating expenses.

      Most of our revenues come from sales of semiconductors to manufacturers of flat-panel displays, including televisions and LCD monitors. Revenue fluctuates from quarter to quarter depending on a number of factors, including, but not limited to the relative growth in our target markets, changes in our market share, changes in our customer’s market share, the rate of decline in ASPs, the price of LCD panels, which often impacts demand for our products, and inventory levels of display controllers and finished goods at our customers’ locations. Gross margins have varied from quarter to quarter depending on changes in product mix, levels of inventory reserves required, level of product yields in the manufacturing process, prices charged by our manufacturing vendors, and the difference in rates of decline of ASP’s compared to average product costs.
      Research and development expenses have varied from quarter to quarter primarily due to increases in staff levels, the purchase of technology and licenses needed for digital TV development, and the timing of non-recurring engineering charges related to new product development. Selling, general and administrative expenses have varied from quarter to quarter primarily due to increases in staffing levels for sales and customer support activities, costs associated with compliance of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, sales and marketing promotional events, and sales commissions. Costs associated with patent litigation have varied from quarter to quarter depending on the level of activity related to specific legal proceedings and the timing of provision for potential settlements. More details of the legal proceedings are described in Item 3 of this report.
      Income tax expense (recovery) has varied from quarter to quarter, depending primarily on the levels of taxable income, the distribution of taxable income between jurisdictions, foreign exchange fluctuations, and the likelihood of being able to utilize available tax credits or losses.
      Our results of operations have fluctuated significantly in the past and may continue to fluctuate in the future as a result of a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include those described under the caption “Risk Factors,” among others. Any one or more of these factors could result in our failure to achieve our expectations as to future operating results. Our expenditures for research and development, selling, general and administrative functions are based in part on future revenue projections. We may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner in response to any unanticipated declines in revenues as a large portion of our expenses are relatively fixed as they are dependent on the number of employees, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may be required to reduce our selling prices in response to competitive pressure or other factors, or to increase spending to pursue new market opportunities or to defend ourselves against lawsuits that may be brought against us. Any decline in average selling prices of a particular product that is not offset by a reduction in product costs or by sales of other products with higher gross margins, would decrease our overall gross profit and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
      Since inception we have satisfied our liquidity needs primarily through cash generated from operations and sales of equity securities, initially by way of a public offering, and subsequently under our stock option and employee stock purchase plans. We believe that our existing cash balances together with any cash generated from our operations will be sufficient to meet our capital and operating requirements for the foreseeable future.
      Periodically, we may be required to use a portion of our cash balances to increase investment in operating assets such as prepaid assets or inventory to assist in the growth of our business, or for capital assets such as land, buildings or equipment. Furthermore, because we do not have our own semiconductor manufacturing facility, we may be required to make deposits to secure supply in the event there is a shortage of

Table of Contents

manufacturing capacity in the future. While we currently have no plans to raise additional funds for such uses, we could be required or could elect to seek to raise additional capital in the future.
      From time to time we evaluate acquisitions and investments in businesses, products or technologies that are complimentary or strategic to our business. Any such transactions, if consummated, may use a portion of our working capital or require the issuance of equity securities that may result in further dilution to our existing stockholders.

      We believe that our financial condition remains strong. At March 31, 2006, cash and short-term investments totaled $185.4 million up from $129.8 million at March 31, 2005. Our current ratio decreased to 6.08 at March 31, 2006 from 6.84 at March 31, 2005. We have no debt and we expect to continue to generate cash from operations during fiscal 2007.
      Net cash provided by operating activities was $49.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2006 compared with cash provided by operating activities of $12.9 million during fiscal 2005 and cash used in operating activities of $0.7 million for fiscal 2004.
      Working capital uses of cash included the increase in accounts receivable of $5.9 million from March 31, 2005 to March 31, 2006. Days sales outstanding also increased from 52 days at March 31, 2005 to 54 days at March 31, 2006. This increase reflects the timing of shipments during the period and the anticipated impact of extending payment terms to certain key customers, a trend which is expected to continue as we compete with the terms offered by our competition and as our key customers feel pressure from their own customers to provide more favorable payment terms. Also, as our customers become more established in China, we are becoming more comfortable with extending credit. Our credit policy is to offer credit to customers only after examination of their creditworthiness. Our payment terms range from cash in advance of shipment, to payment sixty days after shipment. For fiscal 2006, our three largest customers accounted for approximately 36% of revenue, compared with 34% in fiscal 2005 and 36% in fiscal 2004. Additionally, the top three customers accounted for 46% of accounts receivable at March 31, 2006 and 37% at March 31, 2005. Lower inventory and higher accounts payable balances reduced overall non-cash working capital. Inventory levels decreased during fiscal 2006. This decrease primarily reflects the decrease in the average cost of our inventory units on hand and the timing of receipt of inventory during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. Average days of inventory during the year ended March 31, 2006 were 45 days compared to 51 days for the year ended March 31, 2005.
      The average inventory levels and the impact on inventory turns is the result of a number of dynamic activities including the accuracy of customer’s forecasts, expected panel supplies, the timing of delivery of inventories, and pricing considerations and is not necessarily an indication of what inventory turns might be in the future. Accounts payable balances increased by $2.9 million over fiscal 2005, primarily due to the timing of payments to suppliers.
      Net cash used in investing activities was $54.9 million during the year ended March 31, 2006. This included the net purchases of short-term investments of $30.7 million coupled with capital and other spending of $8.6 million, and a $10.2 million investment. This compared to $90.0 million provided by investing activities in the year ended March 31, 2005, and $106.3 million provided by investing activities in fiscal 2004.

Table of Contents

      Net cash provided by financing activities was $30.5 million in the year ended March 31, 2006, $7.6 million in the year ended March 31, 2005, and $13.1 million in the year ended March 31, 2004. This represented funds received for the purchase of shares under the terms of our stock option plans and employee stock purchase plan.
Contractual Obligations
      As of March 31, 2006, our principal commitments consisted of obligations outstanding under operating leases. These commitments include leases for three premises in the United States, located in San Jose, Santa Clara and Alviso, California, and one location in each of Canada, China, India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan. In addition we have obligations under operating leases for equipment. The aggregate minimum annual payments required under our lease obligations, excluding expected sub-lease income, by fiscal year are as follows, in thousands of dollars:

  $ 9,741     $ 4,347     $ 2,348     $ 2,179     $ 572     $ 295  
      Our lease agreements expire at various dates through calendar 2011.
      Purchase orders or contracts for the purchase of raw material and other goods and services have not been separately disclosed. We are not able to determine the aggregate amount of such purchase orders that represent contractual obligations, as purchase orders may represent authorizations to purchase rather than binding agreements. Our purchase orders for manufacturing are based on our current needs and are fulfilled by our vendors within short time horizons. We do not have significant agreements for the purchase of raw materials or other goods specifying minimum quantities or set prices that exceed our expected requirements for three months. We also enter into contracts for outsourced services; however, the obligations under these contracts are not significant and the contracts generally contain clauses allowing for cancellation without significant penalty.
      Further information on lease obligations and commitments can be found in Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
      We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Capital commitments
      We do not have any capital commitments that will have a material future effect on our financial condition.
Subsequent Event
      On June 10, 2006, our Board of Directors approved the “Executive Bonus Plan — Fiscal 2007,” a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.42 (the “Bonus Plan”). The Bonus Plan is designed to provide incentive and motivation to eligible executive officers to achieve our financial and operational plans. Eligible executive officers under the Bonus Plan include our Chief Executive Officer and members of his executive staff.
      The bonus amount to be paid to eligible executive officers pursuant to the Bonus Plan for service to the Company during its fiscal year 2007 will generally be based on the achievement of certain financial goals by the Company (based on revenue and non-GAAP operating income targets for fiscal year 2007) and individual performance objectives of the each of the eligible executive officers. The respective weight of these factors in determining the bonus payment for the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and other eligible executive officer varies and is set forth in the Bonus Plan. The eligible executive officers have a bonus target

33


Table of Contents

specified as a percentage of their annual base salary at various financial achievement levels of the Company as described in the Bonus Plan. The combined bonuses paid under the Bonus Plan and the Employee Corporate Bonus Plan shall not exceed 15% of the Registrant’s non-GAAP operating income and cannot cause the Company’s non-GAAP net income to become a net loss for fiscal year 2007 or any individual quarter during fiscal year 2007. The Chief Executive Officer shall have discretion to increase or decrease, by 15%, any bonus determined under the Bonus plan so that the Bonus Plan does not exceed the limits identified above. The Board of Directors of the Company must pre-approve all payments made under the Bonus Plan.
      The Bonus Plan states that bonuses to executives will only be paid if certain financial objectives, as described in the Bonus Plan, are achieved.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
      We are exposed to financial market risks including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
      The fair value of our investment portfolio or related income would not be significantly impacted by either a 10% increase or decrease in interest rates due mainly to the short-term nature of the major portion of our investment portfolio.
      We carry out a significant portion of our operations outside of the United States, primarily in Canada and in India and to a lesser extent China, Europe, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan. Although virtually all of our revenues and costs of revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars, portions of our operating expenses are denominated in foreign currencies. Accordingly, our operating results are affected by changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and those currencies. Any future strengthening of those currencies against the U.S. dollar could negatively impact our operating results by increasing our operating expenses as measured in U.S. dollars. We do not currently engage in any hedging or other transactions intended to manage the risks relating to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, other than natural hedges that occur as a result of holding both assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. We may, in the future, undertake hedging or other such transactions, if we determine that it is necessary to offset exchange rate risks. Based on our overall currency rate exposure at March 31, 2006, March 31, 2005, and March 31, 2004, a near-term 10% appreciation or depreciation in the U.S. dollar relative to a pool of our foreign currencies would not have a material effect on our operating results or financial condition. However, we do have Canadian dollar denominated tax attributes represented by a deferred income tax asset on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. A near-term 10% appreciation in the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar would increase our income tax expense by approximately $3 million.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
      Management of Genesis Microchip is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Genesis Microchip’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
  •  pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
 
  •  provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
 
  •  provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
      Management assessed the effectiveness of Genesis Microchip’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting, management has concluded that, as of March 31, 2006, Genesis Microchip’s internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Genesis Microchip’s independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, have issued an audit report on our assessment of Genesis Microchip’s internal control of financial reporting. This report appears on page F-3.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Genesis Microchip Inc.
      We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Genesis Microchip Inc. as of March 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
      We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
      In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Genesis Microchip Inc. as of March 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
      We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Genesis Microchip Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated June 12, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of, and the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Genesis Microchip Inc.
      We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that Genesis Microchip Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Genesis Microchip Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
      We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
      A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
      Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
      In our opinion, management’s assessment that Genesis Microchip Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also, in our opinion, Genesis Microchip Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
      We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Genesis Microchip Inc. as of March 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2006, and our report dated June 12, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Genesis Microchip Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(tabular amounts are in thousands, except per share amounts)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
      Genesis Microchip Inc. (“Genesis” or the “Company”) designs, develops and markets integrated circuits that manipulate and process digital video and graphic images.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of consolidation
      These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Genesis and its subsidiaries. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Critical accounting policies and estimates
      The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, investments, intangible assets, goodwill, income taxes, warranty and royalty obligations, litigation and other contingencies. Genesis bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions
      Genesis believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. The Company records estimated reductions to revenue for customer returns based on historical experience. If actual customer returns increase, the Company may be required to recognize additional reductions to revenue. Genesis records the estimated future cost of replacing faulty product as a warranty expense in cost of sales. If warranty returns increase as a result of changes in product quality, Genesis may be required to recognize additional warranty expense. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments and other disputes. If the financial condition of Genesis’ customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. The Company provides for valuation reserves against its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions change from those projected by management, an adjustment of inventory valuation reserves may be required. Genesis provides for costs associated with patent litigation and other litigation when management believes there is a reasonable basis for estimating those costs. If actual costs associated with litigation differ from estimates, additional provision may be required. Genesis records an estimated royalty cost based on its assessment of the potential liability arising from our Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Silicon Image. If actual costs associated with the MOU differ from our estimates, we may be required to adjust those costs. Genesis performs impairment tests on the carrying value of intangible assets and goodwill. These tests are based on numerous assumptions as to potential future results of the business that are considered to be reasonable at the time those assumptions are made. If any of these assumptions later prove to be incorrect or if management changes its assessment as to their reasonability because of changing business conditions, an impairment charge may be required. Genesis records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Should Genesis determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be recorded to income tax expense in the period such determination was made.

Cash and cash equivalents
      All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition are classified as cash equivalents. Cash equivalents of $154,630,000 and $129,757,000 as of March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, consist primarily of government securities, corporate bonds and commercial paper.
Short-term investments
      All of our short-term investments are categorized as available-for-sale at the balance sheet date, and have been presented at fair value, which approximates amortized cost. When material, any temporary difference between the cost and fair value of an investment would be presented as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Short-term investments at March 31, 2006 consist entirely of government and corporate notes and bonds.
Accounts receivable
      Accounts receivable are recorded based on the selling price of the item sold and are recorded at the time of shipment. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on a review of our customers’ past due balances. The following table presents a roll forward of the allowance for doubtful accounts for the indicated periods:
                         
    Year   Year   Year

Inventories
      Inventories consist of finished goods and work-in-process and are stated at the lower of standard cost (approximates actual cost on first-in, first-out basis) or market value, being net realizable value. A reserve against inventories for obsolescence or unmarketable inventories is estimated based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
Property and equipment
      Property and equipment are stated at cost or fair value at the date of acquisition. Amortization is recorded using the following methods and annual rates over the estimated useful lives of the assets:
     
Property and equipment
  10% to 30% declining balance
Software
  1 to 5 years straight-line
Leasehold improvements
  Straight line over the term of the lease
      Genesis regularly reviews the carrying values of its property and equipment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the expected future cash flows to be generated by the asset. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated amount recoverable, a write-down equal to the excess of the carrying value over the asset’s fair value is charged to the consolidated statements of operations.
Goodwill and acquired intangibles
      Intangible assets are comprised of acquired technology, patents, trademarks and trade names. Patents are amortized on a declining-balance basis at a rate of 10% while all other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over four to seven years. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired and has not been amortized, but is tested for impairment during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, and is tested for impairment more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds fair value.
Asset impairments
      Management reviews long-lived assets and the related intangible assets subject to amortization for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assets relate, to the carrying amount including associated intangible assets of the operation.
      If the operation is determined to be unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets, then intangible assets are written down first, followed by the other long-lived assets of the operation, to fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending upon the nature of the assets. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet and reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheets.
Revenue recognition
      Genesis generates revenues primarily from sales of semiconductor products. Revenues from royalties or other sources have not been significant.
      Genesis recognizes revenue from semiconductor product sales to customers when a contract is established, the price is determined, shipment is made and collectibility is reasonably assured. Distributor agreements, which may be canceled by either party upon specified notice, generally contain a provision for the return of the Company’s products in the event the agreement with the distributor is terminated, and the distributor’s products have not been sold. Accordingly, revenue and related cost of revenues from sales to distributors are deferred until the distributors resell the product, which is verified by point-of-sale reports. At the time of shipment to distributors, we record a trade receivable for the selling price, relieve inventory of the value of the product shipped and record the gross margin as deferred revenue, a component of accrued

F-10

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. In certain circumstances, where orders are placed with non-cancelable/non-returnable terms, we recognize revenue upon shipment. Sales to distributors have been approximately 20% of revenue and there have been no significant product returns.
Warranty program
      Genesis accrues the estimated future cost of replacing faulty product under the provisions of its warranty agreements as an increase to cost of sales. Product warranties typically cover a one-year period from the date of delivery to the customer. Management estimates the accrual based on known product failures (if any), historical experience, and other available evidence. The following table presents a roll forward of the reserve for warranty returns for the indicated periods:
                         
    Year   Year   Year
    Ended   Ended   Ended
    March 31,   March 31,   March 31,
    2006   2005   2004

Increase to provision
    157       288       233

    (223 )     (258 )     (533 )
                   
Balance as of end of year
  $ 164     $ 230     $ 200  
                   
Royalties
      From time to time, Genesis enters into agreements to license certain technology from third parties. These agreements often contain provisions for payment of per-unit royalties, based either on the number of products sold or manufactured, or on the net sales price of the product containing the licensed technology. Royalty expenses pursuant to these license agreements are recorded in cost of revenues.
Currency translation
      The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of Genesis and of its subsidiaries. Transactions originating in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates approximating those at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the period-end rate of exchange and non-monetary items are translated at historical exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations and did not have a material effect in the years ended March 31, 2006, March 31, 2005, and March 31, 2004.
Research and development expenses
      Research and development costs are expensed as incurred other than acquired technology which has alternative future use (Note 5). Research and development costs include costs associated with algorithm and semiconductor development including the costs of developing software used within our semiconductor devices. Costs of production mask sets related to products are deferred once technological feasibility has been achieved, included in other long-term assets, and then amortized as product costs to cost of revenues over the estimated remaining life of the product on a straight-line basis.
Financial instruments and concentration of credit risk
      Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable trade, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Genesis determines the fair value of its financial instruments based on quoted market values or discounted cash flow analyses. Unless otherwise indicated, the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their recorded amounts.

F-11


Table of Contents

Genesis Microchip Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
      Financial instruments that potentially subject Genesis to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable trade. Cash equivalents consist of deposits with or guaranteed by major commercial banks, the maturities of which are three months or less from the date of purchase. Short-term investments consist entirely of government and corporate debt securities. With respect to trade accounts receivable, Genesis performs periodic credit evaluations of the financial condition of its customers and typically does not require collateral from them. Allowances are maintained for potential credit losses consistent with the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. Credit losses have been within management’s range of expectations.
Risk of technological change
      The markets in which Genesis competes or seeks to compete are subject to rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions, changing customer requirements for new products and features, and evolving industry standards. The introduction of new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards could render Genesis’ products less desirable or obsolete which could harm its business. The introduction of new process technologies presents the risk of lower than expected yields, which could alter the estimated profitability of the product and the Company’s overall gross profit margins.
Concentration of suppliers
      Genesis does not own or operate a semiconductor fabrication facility, or an assembly and test facility and does not have the resources to manufacture its products internally. Genesis relies almost exclusively on a single third party foundry to produce all its products. In light of these dependencies, it is reasonably possible that failure to perform by this supplier could have a severe impact on the Company’s results of operations.
Earnings (loss) per share
      Basic earnings (loss) per share has been calculated by dividing the net income (loss) for the year available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during that year. Basic earnings (loss) per share excludes the dilutive effect of potential common shares such as those issuable on exercise of stock options. Diluted earnings (loss) per share gives effect to all potential common shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding is calculated assuming that the proceeds from potential common shares are used to repurchase common shares at the average closing share price in the year.
Stock-based compensation
      The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations, in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB 25, deferred stock-based compensation is recorded at the option grant date in an amount equal to the excess of the market value of a common share over the exercise price of the option. Deferred stock-based compensation is amortized over the vesting period of the individual options, generally two to four years, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) FIN No. 44.
      During the year ended March 31, 2006, the Company amended the 1997 Employee Stock Option Plan to allow the granting of stock appreciation rights, stock purchase rights, and restricted stock units, and the 2000 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan to allow the granting of stock appreciation rights.
      Stock compensation expense resulting from the issuance of options to non-employees is recognized as services are performed and the options are earned. Genesis applies the fair value method of FASB’s SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation”, for valuing options granted to non-employees. The

issuance of shares for consideration that is less than the market value of the shares results in compensation expense equal to the excess of the market value of the shares over the fair value of the consideration received.
      SFAS 123 requires the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share had Genesis adopted the fair value method for all stock option grants as of the beginning of its 1996 fiscal year. Under SFAS 123, the fair value of stock-based awards to employees is calculated through the use of option pricing models, even though such models were developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from Genesis’ stock option awards. These models also require subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. Genesis’s calculations were made using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using a dividend yield of 0% and the assumptions noted in the following table.
                         
    Year   Year   Year
    Ended   Ended   Ended

      The weighted average fair values of options granted during fiscal 2006, 2005, and 2004 were $12.67, $10.12 and $13.67, respectively. Had compensation expense been determined based on the fair value of awards at the grant dates in accordance with the methodology prescribed in SFAS 123, Genesis’s net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share would approximate the pro forma disclosure as follows for the periods indicated:

Comprehensive income
      Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a company during a period resulting from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, there was no difference for Genesis between net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).
Income taxes
      Genesis applies the asset and liability method of SFAS 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes,” under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and for operating loss and tax credits carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. To the extent that it is not considered to be more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be realized, a valuation allowance is provided.
      Genesis is entitled to Canadian federal and provincial research and development investment tax credits which are earned as a percentage of eligible current and capital research and development expenditures incurred in each taxation year. Investment tax credits are available to be applied against future income tax liabilities, subject to a ten year carry forward period. Investment tax credits are classified as a reduction of income tax expense for items of a current nature and a reduction of the related asset cost for items of a long-term nature, provided that Genesis has reasonable assurance that the tax credits will be realized.
Recent accounting pronouncements
SFAS 123R
      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R is a revision to SFAS 123 and supersedes APB 25, and its related implementation guidance. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) to provide guidance for public companies concerning SFAS 123R and various SEC rules and regulations. SFAS 123R establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. SFAS 123R focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions.
      SFAS 123R does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in SFAS 123 as originally issued and EITF Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.”
      The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using the option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments (unless observable market prices for the same or similar instruments are available).
      To the extent that the Company receives employee services in exchange for an award of liability instruments, the liability will be recognized based on its current fair value; the fair value of that award will be

F-14


Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
re-measured subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement date. Changes in fair value during the requisite service period will be recognized as compensation cost over that period.
      We have not made a final determination on the valuation model, methodology, or other impacts of implementing FAS 123R on our financial statements. For an illustration of the effect of using a fair-value based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions on our recent results of operations, without the effect of a forfeiture rate, see Note 2. The effective date will be as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. Management intends to comply with SFAS 123R and SAB 107 commencing April 1, 2006.
SFAS 151
      In November 2004, FASB issued SFAS 151 “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (“SFAS 151”). SFAS 151 clarifies that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as a current-period expense and required the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on normal capacity of the production facilities. This pronouncement is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years commencing after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 151 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

6. GOODWILL
      The majority of the goodwill carried on the balance sheet arose in February 2002 when the Company acquired Sage Inc. for approximately $297,000,000. Adjustments have been made to the allocation of the purchase price to the identifiable assets and liabilities since the date of acquisition. Goodwill was reduced by $7,881,000 during the year ended March 31, 2005, primarily to reflect the recognition of the tax benefit of acquired net operating losses at the time of the acquisition, that were previously unrecognized. Other adjustments in the amount of $710,000 were made during 2005. The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed at least annually by management for potential impairment. No impairment has been identified at March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
      During the year ended March 31, 2006, the Company purchased $10,000,000 of preferred shares of a private company. In conjunction with the investment, the company also signed a Master Development and Cross License Agreement giving both companies access to each other’s certain technologies for select markets and enabling future joint product development that focuses on multimedia processors used in the mobile video market. The preferred shares are convertible to common shares on a one for one basis.
      During the year ended March 31, 2006, $1,343,000 was amortized (2005 — $1,269,000; 2004 — $440,000).
8. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Authorized Capital Stock
      Genesis’ certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 105,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share.
Common Stock
      The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by stockholders. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Genesis, the holders of common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all debts and other liabilities of the Company, subject to the prior rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding.
Preferred Stock
      The Board of Directors of Genesis is authorized to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, qualifications and limitations granted to or imposed upon any unissued and undesignated shares of preferred stock and to fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designations of such series, without any further vote or action by the stockholders (subject to applicable law and applicable stock exchange rules). The Board of Directors, without stockholder approval (subject to applicable law and applicable stock exchange rules), can issue preferred stock with voting and conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of Genesis common stock, and the issuance of such preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Genesis. No such preferred shares have been issued or authorized.
Preferred Stock Rights Agreement
      On June 26, 2002, the Board of Directors of Genesis announced that it had declared a dividend distribution pursuant to a Preferred Stock Rights Agreement, dated as of June 27, 2002, between Genesis and Mellon Investor Services, L.L.C. (the “Rights Agreement”). Under the Rights Agreement, Genesis issued a dividend of one Preferred Share Purchase Right (each, a “Right” and collectively, the “Rights”) to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of the Series A Participating Preferred Stock of Genesis for each outstanding share of common stock of Genesis.

9. STOCK OPTION AND STOCK PURCHASE PLANS
1997 Employee Stock Option Plan
      The 1997 Employee Stock Option Plan (“1997 Employee Plan”) provided for the granting to employees of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options and stock purchase rights for up to 800,000 common shares plus an annual increase to be added on the first day of each fiscal year equal to the lesser of (i) 2,000,000 Shares, (ii) 3.5% of the outstanding shares on such date, or (iii) a lesser amount determined by the Board of Directors of Genesis. The exercise price of incentive stock options granted under the 1997 Employee Plan was not to be less than 100% (110% in case of any options granted to a person who held more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of Genesis) of the fair market value of the common shares subject to the option on the date of the grant. The term of the options do not exceed 10 years (five years in the case of any options granted to a person who held more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of Genesis) and vest over four years.

      Pretax income from foreign operations was $42,979,000, $34,609,000, and $26,508,000 for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.
      On October 22, 2004, the “American Jobs Creation Act of 2004” (“AJCA”) was signed into law. The AJCA includes a deduction of 85% of certain foreign earnings that are repatriated, as defined in the AJCA. In March 2005, the Company repatriated $73,000,000 of earnings and profits in accordance with certain

provisions of the AJCA. A charge of $3,701,000 associated with this repatriation is included in the provision for income taxes for the year ended March 31, 2005. Under normal circumstances, U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes are not provided on certain unremitted earnings of international affiliates which Genesis considers to be indefinitely reinvested in the foreign jurisdiction. A deferred tax liability will be recognized when the Company can no longer demonstrate that it plans to indefinitely reinvest the undistributed earnings. As of March 31, 2006, the undistributed earnings of these affiliates were approximately $41,000,000. The Company has not recognized a deferred tax liability of approximately $16,400,000 for the unremitted earnings of its foreign affiliates.
      Significant components of Genesis’ deferred tax assets are as follows:
                 
    March 31,   March 31,
    2006   2005
         
Acquisition-related intangibles
  $ (1,864 )   $ (5,020 )

    (72,651 )     (57,826 )
             
Total
  $ 11,151     $ 14,056  
             
      The valuation allowance increased by $14,825,000 during the year ended March 31, 2006 (2005 — $6,507,000), primarily as a result of not recognizing the full benefit of net operating losses and research tax credits in a year of loss.
      The valuation allowance includes $13,232,000 (2005 — $9,306,000) arising from acquired losses and research credits, which, if realized, will be credited to goodwill. The valuation allowance also includes $22,434,000 (2005 — $20,344,000) of losses arising from stock option deductions of which subsequently recognized tax benefits will be recorded as additional paid-in capital. No such benefit was realized during 2006, 2005 or 2004.
      In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible in the appropriate jurisdiction. Management considers projected future taxable income uncertainties related to the industry in which Genesis operates and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. In order to fully realize the deferred tax asset recognized on its consolidated balance sheet, Genesis would need to generate future taxable income of approximately $31,000,000 prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards and research tax credit carryforwards, which expire in the years 2008 to 2026. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not Genesis will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowances.

Legal proceedings
Silicon Image Litigation
      In April 2001, Silicon Image, Inc. (“Silicon Image”) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Genesis in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (“District Court”) and simultaneously filed a complaint before the United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”). The complaint and suit alleged that certain Genesis products that contain digital receivers infringe various Silicon Image patent claims. Silicon Image was seeking an injunction to halt the sale, manufacture and use of Genesis’s DVI receiver products and unspecified monetary damages. In December 2001, Silicon Image formally moved to withdraw its complaint before the ITC and those proceedings have terminated.
      In July 2003, the District Court issued a memorandum opinion, followed by a final judgment in August 2003 and an amended final judgment in December 2003. In its opinion, the District Court ruled that Genesis and Silicon Image have settled their disputes based on a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) signed on December 18, 2002. The District Court’s opinion states that the MOU is a binding settlement agreement and that Genesis will pay Silicon Image a monetary settlement, license fee and running royalties on all DVI and HDMI products. We recorded a provision for costs associated with this patent litigation in the year ended March 31, 2003, a portion of which was paid in escrow to the court in August 2003. An additional undisclosed amount was paid to the court as a bond in March 2004. The payments to the court have been accounted for as reductions of the related liability. In addition, Genesis has continued to reserve estimated amounts that may be payable to Silicon Image pursuant to the District Court’s judgment regarding the MOU since the year ended March 31, 2003.
      In January 2004, Genesis filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. In April 2006, the Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court’s decision.
      The future financial impact arising from any appeal or other legal actions related to the dispute is not yet determinable and no other provision has been made in our consolidated financial statements for any future costs associated with this claim, other than the estimated amounts that may be payable under the MOU as noted above.
MStar Litigation
      Genesis filed a patent infringement complaint against MStar Semiconductor, Inc. (“MStar”) in the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”) in 2003. In August 2004, the ITC determined that MStar and the other respondents infringe Genesis’s patent, and issued an exclusion order preventing the importation of MStar’s and the other respondents’ infringing display controllers into the United States, as well as LCD monitors and boards containing these products. However, U.S. Customs has declined to enforce the ITC’s exclusion order against MStar’s Tsunami (or TSU) products. In December 2004, MStar filed an appeal of the exclusion order and related ITC rulings to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. In May 2006, the Court of Appeals upheld the ITC’s decision in favor of Genesis. Also, in April 2006, Genesis filed a motion to enforce the exclusion order against MStar’s Tsunami products in the ITC. The motion is pending.
      The future financial impact of this dispute is not determinable and no provision has been made in our consolidated financial statements for any future costs or settlements associated with these claims.
Securities Class Action Litigation
      In November 2002, a putative securities class action captioned Kuehbeck v. Genesis Microchip et al., Civil Action No. 02-CV-05344, was filed against Genesis, former Chief Executive Officer Amnon Fisher, and former Interim Chief Executive Officer Eric Erdman, and amended in July 2003 to include Executive Vice President Anders Frisk (collectively the “Individual Defendants”) in the United States District Court for the

Northern District of California. The complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder against Genesis and the Individual Defendants, and violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the Individual Defendants. The complaint sought unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of Genesis’s common stock between April 29, 2002 and June 14, 2002. In July 2005, the court granted Genesis’s motion to dismiss the case, with prejudice. The plaintiffs filed an appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The parties signed an agreement to settle the case in March 2006.
      An unfavorable resolution of any of these lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on Genesis’s business, results of operations or financial condition.
      We are not a party to any other material legal proceedings.
Supply arrangements
      Genesis subcontracts portions of its semiconductor manufacturing from several suppliers and no single production process for any single product is performed by more than one supplier. Should our wafer supplier or any of Genesis’ packaging or testing subcontractors cease to be available, management believes that this would have a material adverse effect on Genesis’ business, financial condition and results of operations. Genesis has no guarantees of minimum capacity from its suppliers and is not liable for any material minimum purchase commitments.
Guarantees and indemnifications
      In connection with certain agreements that we have executed in the past, we have at times provided indemnities to cover the indemnified party for matters such as product liability. We have also on occasion included intellectual property indemnification provisions in the terms of our technology related agreements with third parties. Maximum potential future payments cannot be estimated because many of these agreements do not have a maximum stated liability. However, historically costs related to these indemnification provisions have not been significant. We have not recorded any liability in our consolidated financial statements for such indemnifications.
13. SEGMENT INFORMATION
      Genesis operates and tracks its results in one operating segment. Genesis designs, develops and markets integrated circuits that manipulate and process digital video and graphic images. The target market is the advanced display market including LCD monitors and flat-panel televisions.
Geographic information
      Geographic revenue information is based on the shipment destination. Long-lived assets include property and equipment, as well as intangible assets. Property and equipment information is based on the physical location of the asset while the intangible assets are based on the location of the owning entity.

Genesis Microchip Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
14. DEFERRED MERGER-RELATED COSTS
      On March 17, 2003, Genesis entered into an agreement to merge with Pixelworks, Inc. (“Pixelworks”)
      On August 5, 2003, Genesis and Pixelworks entered into an agreement to terminate the proposed merger. Under the terms of the agreement, each of the parties agreed to a mutual release of claims, and Pixelworks agreed to immediately pay Genesis $5,500,000 as a reimbursement for its expenses. Costs incurred by Genesis related to this transaction to March 31, 2003 were approximately $2,500,000, and were included in other long-term assets at that date. Genesis incurred approximately $3,100,000 of related costs during the period from April 1, 2003 to August 5, 2003. The net expense of $0.1 million was included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
15. COMPARATIVE FIGURES
      We changed the method in which certain costs are allocated to research and development expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal year 2006. We believe that the current allocation method more appropriately reflects the nature of these expenses and the services to which they relate. The Consolidated Statement of Operations for the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 have been reclassified in order to present comparable statements for the three years. The restatement has no effect on total operating expenses, net earnings (loss) or net earnings (loss) per share.
