PART I
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 Sages
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.

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.
4
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.
5
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. |
6
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.
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. |
7
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.
8
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 customers
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.
9
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.
10
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 MStars 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
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
|
|
|
|
|
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
arms-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.
13
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
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.

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
claims. Silicon Image was seeking an injunction to halt the
sale, manufacture and use of Genesiss 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 Courts 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 Courts 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 Courts 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 Genesiss patent, and issued an
exclusion order preventing the importation of MStars 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 ITCs exclusion order against MStars
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 ITCs decision in favor of Genesis.
Also, in April 2006, Genesis filed a motion to enforce the
exclusion order against Mstars 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 Genesiss common stock between April 29, 2002 and
June 14, 2002. In July 2005, the court granted
Genesiss 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 Genesiss business, results of
operations or financial condition.
We are not a party to any other material legal proceedings.

MANAGEMENTS 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 Managements 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
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).
21
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 customers pre-production
period.
The growth in our target markets is limited by the
industrys 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 Genesiss Faroudja home theater
solutions, and to promote the Faroudja brand, on a worldwide
basis as part of Meridians product portfolio. These
products will be marketed and distributed through
Meridians 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.
22
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.
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.
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.
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
Mobilygens 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. |
24
|
|
|
|
|
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 units 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. |

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 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. Genesiss 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.

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
28
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.

QUARTERLY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table shows our unaudited quarterly statement of
operations data for the most recent eight quarters reported.

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 customers 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 ASPs 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
31
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 customers 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.
32
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.
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:

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.
We do not have any capital commitments that will have a material
future effect on our financial condition.
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
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
Registrants non-GAAP operating income and cannot cause the
Companys 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.

Managements 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 Microchips
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
companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements. |
Management assessed the effectiveness of Genesis
Microchips 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 Microchips
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 Microchips independent
registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, have issued an
audit report on our assessment of Genesis Microchips

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
Companys 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
managements 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 managements assessment, included in the
accompanying Managements 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 managements assessment and an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Companys 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
managements 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 companys 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 companys
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
companys 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, managements 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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
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.
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 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:

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 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
assets 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.
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.
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 Companys products in the event the
agreement with the distributor is terminated, and the
distributors 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

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.
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.

warranty returns for the indicated periods:

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.
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 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
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
managements 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 Companys 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 Companys 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.
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 Boards
(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 FASBs SFAS 123, Accounting for
Stock-based Compensation, for valuing options granted to
non-employees. The
F-12
Genesis Microchip Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
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. Genesiss calculations were made
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using a dividend
yield of 0% and the assumptions noted in the following table.

F-13
Genesis Microchip Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
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).
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 |
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
entitys 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
Genesis Microchip Inc.
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.
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.

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.

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 others 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).
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.
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.
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. The dividend
became payable on July 8, 2002 to stockholders of record as
of the close of business on that date.
The Rights are not immediately exercisable and will become
exercisable only upon the occurrence of certain events. If a
person or group acquires or announces a tender or exchange offer
that would result in the acquisition of a certain percentage of
the common stock of Genesis while the Rights Agreement remains
in place, the Rights will become exercisable, unless redeemed,
by all Rights holders except the acquiring person

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

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. As of March 31, 2006, there were
1,573,000 shares available for grant under the 1997

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
F-21
Genesis Microchip Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
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

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.

Genesis Microchip Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
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
Genesiss 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 Courts 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 Courts 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 Courts 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.
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 Genesiss patent, and issued an
exclusion order preventing the importation of MStars 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 ITCs exclusion order against MStars
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 ITCs decision in favor of Genesis.
Also, in April 2006, Genesis filed a motion to enforce the
exclusion order against MStars 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
F-24
Genesis Microchip Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
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 Genesiss common stock between April 29, 2002 and
June 14, 2002. In July 2005, the court granted
Genesiss 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 Genesiss business, results of
operations or financial condition.
We are not a party to any other material legal proceedings.
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.
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 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.

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.
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
