HARMONIC INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which Harmonic Inc.
(Harmonic, the Company or we) considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
operations for the interim periods covered and the consolidated financial condition of the Company
at the date of the balance sheets. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction
with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Companys Annual
Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2007.
The interim results presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, or any other future period.
The Companys fiscal quarters end on the Friday nearest the calendar quarter end, except for the
fourth quarter which ends on December 31.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Note 2: Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS No. 157). This statement clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value, and expands the disclosures on fair value measurements. SFAS
No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We have not determined the
effect, if any, the adoption of this statement in the first quarter of 2008 will have on our
results of operations or financial position.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial LiabilitiesIncluding an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159
expands the use of fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards which require
assets or liabilities to be carried at fair value. Under SFAS 159, a company may elect to use fair
value to measure accounts and loans receivable, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities,
equity method investments, accounts payable, guarantees and issued debt. Other eligible items
include firm commitments for financial instruments that otherwise would not be recognized at
inception and non-cash warranty obligations where a warrantor is permitted to pay a third party to
provide the warranty goods or services. If the use of fair value is elected, any upfront costs and
fees related to the item must be recognized in earnings and cannot be deferred, e.g., debt issue
costs. The fair value election is irrevocable and generally made on an instrument-by-instrument
basis, even if a company has similar instruments that it elects not to measure based on fair value.
At the adoption date, unrealized gains and losses on existing items for which fair value has been
elected are reported as a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings. Subsequent to the
adoption of SFAS 159, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and is required to be adopted by Harmonic in the
first quarter of fiscal 2008. Harmonic currently is determining whether fair value accounting is
appropriate for any of its eligible items and cannot estimate the impact, if any, which SFAS 159
will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
The Company adopted Financial Standards Accounting Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48) on January 1,
2007. FIN 48 clarifies the
5
accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive
model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of
uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. See Note 10 for
additional information, including the effects of adoption on the Companys condensed consolidated
financial statements.
Note 3: Entone Acquisition
On December 8, 2006, Harmonic acquired Entone Technologies, Inc., or Entone, pursuant to the terms
of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) dated August 21, 2006. Under the terms
of the merger agreement, Entone spun off its consumer premise equipment business, or CPE business,
to Entones existing stockholders prior to closing. Entone then merged into Harmonic, and Harmonic
acquired Entones VOD business, which includes the development, sale and support of head-end
equipment (software and hardware) and associated services for the creation, distribution and
delivery of on-demand television programming to operators who offer such programming to businesses
and consumers. Harmonic believes Entones software solution, which facilitates the provisioning of
personalized video services including video-on-demand, network personal video recording,
time-shifted television and targeted advertisement insertion, will enable Harmonic to expand the
scope of solutions we can offer to cable, satellite and telco/IPTV service providers in order to
provide an advanced and uniquely integrated delivery system for the next generation of both
broadcast and personalized IP-delivered video services. These opportunities, along with the
established Asia-based software development workforce, were significant factors to the
establishment of the purchase price, which exceeded the fair value of Entones net tangible and
intangible assets acquired resulting in the amount of goodwill we have recorded with this
transaction. Management has made a preliminary allocation of the estimated purchase price to the
tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on various preliminary
estimates. The allocation of the estimated purchase price is preliminary pending finalization of
various estimates and analyses.
The purchase price of $49.0 million included $26.2 million in cash, $20.1 million of stock issued,
consisting of 3,579,715 shares of Harmonic common stock, $0.2 million in stock options assumed, and
$2.5 million of transaction costs. Stock options to purchase Harmonic common stock totaling 175,342
shares were issued to reflect the conversion of all outstanding Entone options for continuing
employees. The fair value of Harmonics stock options issued to Entone employees were valued at
$925,000 using the Black-Scholes options pricing model of which $697,000 represented unearned
stock-based compensation, which is being recorded as compensation expense as services are provided
by optionholders, and $228,000 was recorded as purchase consideration. As part of the terms of the
Merger Agreement, Harmonic was obligated to purchase a convertible note with a face amount of $2.5
million in the new spun off private company subject to closing of an initial round of equity
financing in which at least $4 million is invested by third
parties. This note was funded in July
2007.
The Entone acquisition was accounted for under SFAS No. 141 and certain specified provisions of
SFAS No. 142. The results of operations of Entone are included in Harmonics Consolidated
Statements of Operations from December 8, 2006, the date of acquisition. The following table
summarizes the preliminary allocation of the
6
purchase price based on the estimated fair value of the tangible assets acquired and the
liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

The purchase price was allocated as set forth in the table above. The Income Approach which
includes an analysis of the markets, cash flows and risks associated with achieving such cash
flows, was the primary method used in valuing the identified intangibles acquired. The Discounted
Cash Flow method was used to estimate the fair value of the acquired existing technology and
customer relationships. The Royalty Savings Method was used to estimate the fair value of the
acquired core technology and trademarks/trade names. In the Royalty Savings Method, the value of an
asset is estimated by capitalizing the royalties saved because the Company owns the asset. Expected
cash flows were discounted at the Companys weighted average cost of capital of 18%. Identified
intangible assets, including existing technology and core technology are being amortized over their
useful lives of three to four years; tradename/trademarks are being amortized over their useful
lives of five years; and customer relationships are being amortized over its useful life of six
years.
The residual purchase price of $32.4 million has been recorded as goodwill. The goodwill as a
result of this acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. In accordance with
SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill relating to the acquisition of
Entone is not being amortized and will be tested for impairment annually or whenever events
indicate that an impairment may have occurred.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information presented below summarizes the combined
results of operations as if the merger had been completed as of the beginning of January 1, 2006.
The unaudited pro forma financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006

Impairment of Investments
We monitor our investment portfolio for impairment on a periodic basis. In the event that the
carrying value of an investment exceeds its fair value and the decline in value is determined to be
other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis for the investment is
established. In order to determine whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary, we evaluate,
among other factors: the duration and extent to which the fair value has been less than the
carrying value; our financial condition and business outlook, including key operational and cash
flow metrics, current market conditions and future trends in our industry; our relative competitive
position within the industry; and our intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of
time sufficient to allow any anticipated recovery in fair value.

primarily related to changes in interest rates and is considered to be temporary in nature.

Note 7: Restructuring and Excess Facilities
In 2001 and 2002 excess facilities charges totaling $44.3 million were recorded due to the
Companys reduced headcount, difficult business conditions and a weak local commercial real estate
market.
As of June 29, 2007, accrued excess facilities cost totaled $20.1 million, of which $6.7 million
was included in current accrued liabilities and $13.4 million in other non-current liabilities. The
Company incurred cash outlays of $3.2 million during the first six months of 2007 principally for
lease payments, property taxes, insurance and other maintenance fees related to vacated facilities.
Harmonic expects to pay approximately $3.5 million of excess facility lease costs, net of estimated
sublease income, for the remainder of 2007 and to pay the remaining $16.6 million, net of estimated
sublease income, over the remaining lease terms through September 2010.
Harmonic reassesses this liability quarterly and adjusts as necessary based on changes in the
timing and amounts of expected sublease rental income. In the fourth quarter of 2005 the excess
facilities liability was decreased by $1.1 million due to subleasing a portion of an unoccupied
building for the remainder of the lease.
During the second quarter of 2006, the Company streamlined its senior management team primarily in
the U.S. operations and recorded severance and other costs of approximately $1.0 million. We expect
the remaining payments related to these actions to be paid by the end of the third quarter of 2007.
During the third quarter of 2006, the Company recorded a charge in selling, general and
administrative expenses for excess facilities of $3.9 million. This charge relates to two buildings
which were vacated during the third quarter in connection with a plan to make more efficient use of
our Sunnyvale campus in accordance with applicable provisions of FAS No. 146 Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. In addition, during the third quarter of 2006 the
Company revised its estimate of expected sublease income with respect to previously vacated
facilities and recorded a credit of $1.7 million in accordance with applicable provisions of EITF
94-3 Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an
Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).
10
During the first quarter of 2007, the Company recorded a charge in selling, general and
administrative expenses for excess facilities of $0.4 million. This charge primarily relates to two
buildings in the UK which were vacated during the first quarter of 2007 in connection with the
closure of the manufacturing and research and development activities of Broadcast Technology
Limited, or BTL, in accordance with applicable provisions of FAS No. 146. The Company expects to
record an additional charge in the third quarter of 2007 for an additional building in the UK in
connection with the closure of BTL.

Note 8: Credit Facilities and Long-Term Debt
Harmonic has a bank line of credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank, which provides for borrowings
of up to $20.0 million that matures on March 5, 2008. In March 2007, Harmonic paid in full the
outstanding balance of its secured term loans for equipment and canceled this term loan feature as
part of the renewal process for the bank line of credit. As of June 29, 2007, other than standby
letters of credit and guarantees (Note 15), there were no amounts outstanding under the line of
credit facility and there were no borrowings in 2006 or 2007. This facility, which was amended and
restated in March 2007, contains financial and other covenants including the requirement for
Harmonic to maintain cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, net of credit extensions,
of not less than $30.0 million. If Harmonic is unable to maintain this cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments balance or satisfy the additional affirmative covenant requirements,
Harmonic would be in noncompliance with the facility. In the event of noncompliance by Harmonic
with the covenants under the facility, Silicon Valley Bank would be entitled to exercise its
remedies under the facility which include declaring all obligations immediately due and payable and
disposing of the collateral if obligations were not repaid. At June 29, 2007, Harmonic was in
compliance with the covenants under this line of credit facility. The March 2007 amendment resulted
in the Company paying a fee of $10,000 and requiring payment of approximately $20,000 of additional
fees if the Company does not maintain an unrestricted deposit of $20.0 million with the bank.
Future borrowings pursuant to the line bear interest at the banks prime rate (8.25% at June 29,
2007). Borrowings are payable monthly and are collateralized by all of Harmonics assets except
intellectual property.
Note 9: Benefit Plans
Stock Option Plans. Harmonic has reserved 11,533,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under
various employee stock option plans. The options are granted for periods not exceeding ten years
and generally vest 25% at one year from date of grant, and an additional 1/48 per month thereafter.
Stock options are granted at the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant. Beginning on
February 27, 2006, option grants had a term of seven years. Certain option awards provide for
accelerated vesting if there is a change in control. Certain option awards granted to former Entone
employees in 2006 had a term of ten years from the original Entone date of grant and are fully
exercisable at the date of grant and, to the extent not vested, become restricted shares subject to
repurchase. At June 29, 2007 there were no restricted shares outstanding.
Director Option Plans. In May 2002, Harmonics stockholders approved the 2002 Director Option Plan
(the Plan), replacing the 1995 Director Option Plan. The Plan provides for the grant of
non-statutory stock options to certain non-employee directors of Harmonic pursuant to an automatic,
non-discretionary grant mechanism. Options are granted at fair market value of the stock at the
date of grant for periods not exceeding ten years. Initial grants generally vest monthly over three
years, and subsequent grants generally vest monthly over one year. In June 2006, Harmonics
stockholders approved an amendment to the Plan and increased the maximum number of shares of common
stock authorized for issuance over the term of the Plan by an additional 300,000 shares to 700,000
shares and reduced the term of future option granted under the Plan to seven years. Harmonic has a
total of 714,000 shares
11
of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan.

The weighted-average remaining contractual life for all exercisable stock options at June 29, 2007
was 4.3 years. The weighted-average remaining contractual life of all vested and expected-to-vest
stock options at June 29, 2007 was 5.0 years.
Aggregate pre-tax intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at June 29, 2007 was $8.1
million. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options vested and expected-to-vest net of
estimated forfeitures was $13.4 million at June 29, 2007. Aggregate pre-tax intrinsic value
represents the difference between our closing price on the last trading day of the fiscal period,
which was $8.87 as of June 29, 2007, and the exercise price multiplied by the number of options
outstanding or exercisable. The intrinsic value of exercised stock options is calculated based on
the difference between the exercise price and the current market value at the time of exercise. The
aggregate intrinsic value of exercised stock options was $0.4 million and $2.3 million during the
three and six months ended June 29, 2007, respectively.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan. In May 2002, Harmonics stockholders approved the 2002 Employee Stock
Purchase Plan (the 2002 Purchase Plan) replacing the 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan effective
for the offering period beginning on July 1, 2002. In May 2004, Harmonics stockholders approved an
amendment to the 2002 Purchase Plan and increased the maximum number of shares of common stock
authorized for issuance over the term of the 2002 Purchase Plan by an additional 2,000,000 shares.
In June 2006, Harmonics stockholders approved
12
an amendment to the 2002 Purchase Plan to increase the maximum number of shares of common stock
available for issuance under the 2002 Purchase Plan by an additional 2,000,000 shares to 5,500,000
shares and reduce the term of future offering periods to six months, which became effective for the
offering period beginning January 1, 2007. The 2002 Purchase Plan enables employees to purchase
shares at 85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the beginning of the offering period
or end of the purchase period, whichever is lower. Offering periods and purchase periods generally
begin on the first trading day on or after January 1 and July 1 of each year. The 2002 Purchase
Plan is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the Internal
Revenue Code. During the first six months of 2007 and 2006, the number of shares of stock issued
under the purchase plans were 401,061 and 411,324 shares at weighted average prices of $3.90 and
$4.18, respectively. The weighted-average fair value of each right to purchase shares of common
stock granted under the purchase plans were $2.14 and $1.70 for the first six months of 2007 and
2006, respectively. At June 29, 2007, 2,082,434 shares were reserved for future issuances under the
2002 Purchase Plan.
Retirement/Savings Plan. Harmonic has a retirement/savings plan which qualifies as a thrift plan
under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. This plan allows participants to contribute up
to 20% of total compensation, subject to applicable Internal Revenue Service limitations. Harmonic
makes discretionary contributions to the plan of 25% of the first 4% contributed by eligible
participants up to a maximum contribution per participant of $1,000 per year. Such amounts totaled
$0.1 million and $0.2 million in the three and six months periods ended June 29, 2007.

The expected term for stock options and the ESPP represents the weighted-average period that the
stock options are expected to remain outstanding. We derived the expected term using the SAB 107
simplified method for stock options and historical data for the ESPP. As alternative sources of data become available in order to determine the
expected term we will incorporate these data into our assumption.
We use the historical volatility over the expected term of the options and the ESPP offering period
to estimate the expected volatility. We believe that the historical volatility, at this time,
represents fairly the future volatility of its common stock. We will continue to monitor relevant
information to measure expected volatility for future option grants and ESPP offering periods.
The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the
term of our employee stock options. The dividend yield assumption is based on our history and
expectation of dividend payouts.
Note 10: Income Taxes
We adopted
the provisions of Financial Standards Accounting Board Interpretation
No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
(FIN 48) an interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109 (SFAS 109) on January 1, 2007. The
effect of this pronouncement on the Companys retained earnings
as of January 1, 2007 was a decrease in retained earnings of
$2.1 million for interest and penalties. At the date of adoption
of January 1, 2007, we had $7.1 million of unrecognized tax
benefits which included $0.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits
that were fully offset by a valuation allowance. The amount of
interest and penalties at the adoption date was approximately
$2.1 million. The Company historically had a $6.4 million
balance in current taxes payable. As a result of the adoption of
FIN 48, the FIN 48 liability of $6.4 million was
reclassified to long-term taxes payable.
For the
six months ended June 29, 2007, the Company has accrued
$0.3 million of interest and reversed $0.8 million of
FIN 48 liability upon the expiration of the statute of
limitation in foreign jurisdictions. The Company does not anticipate
a significant change in unrecognized tax benefits within the next
twelve months.
We
anticipate the unrecognized tax benefit may increase during the year
for items that arise in the ordinary course of business. Such amounts
will be reflected as an increase in the amount of unrecognized tax
benefits and an increase to the current period tax expense. These
increases will be considered in the determination of the
Companys annual effective tax rate. The amount of the
unrecognized tax benefit classified as a long-term tax payable, if
recognized, would reduce the annual income provision.
As of
June 29, 2007, we have accrued $0.3 million of interest
related to uncertain tax positions. The cumulative balance as of
June 29, 2007 of interest and penalties related to uncertain tax
positions is approximately $2.4 million.
The tax
years 2001-2006 remain open to examination by the major taxing
jurisdictions to which we are subject.
Note 11: Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to
common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of the common shares outstanding
during the period. The diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for the
three and six months ended June 29, 2007 because
14
potential common shares, such as common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, are
only considered when their effect would be dilutive.
The following table shows the potentially dilutive shares, consisting of options, for the periods
presented that were excluded from the net income (loss) computations because their effect was
antidilutive (in thousands):

Standby Letters of Credit. As of June 29, 2007, the Companys financial guarantees consisted of
standby letters of credit outstanding, which were principally related to customs bond requirements
and state requirements imposed on employers. The maximum amount of potential future payments under
these arrangements was $0.7 million.
Indemnification. Harmonic is obligated to indemnify its officers and the members of its Board of
Directors pursuant to its bylaws and contractual indemnity agreements. Harmonic also indemnifies
some of its suppliers and customers for specified intellectual property matters pursuant to certain
contractual arrangements, subject to certain limitations. The scope of these indemnities varies,
but in some instances, includes indemnification for damages and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys fees). There have been no claims against us for indemnification pursuant to any of these
arrangements and, accordingly, no amounts have been accrued in respect of the indemnification
provisions through June 29, 2007.
16
Guarantees. As of June 29, 2007, Harmonic had no other guarantees outstanding.
Note 16: Commitments
Convertible Note. As part of the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger with Entone
Technologies, Inc., Harmonic was obligated to purchase a convertible note with a face amount of
$2.5 million in the new spun off private company subject to its closing of an initial round of
equity financing in which at least $4 million is invested by
third parties. This note was funded
in July 2007.
Note 17: Legal Proceedings
Between June 28 and August 25, 2000, several actions alleging violations of the federal securities
laws by Harmonic and certain of its officers and directors (some of whom are no longer with
Harmonic) were filed in or removed to the United States District Court (the District Court) for
the Northern District of California. The actions subsequently were consolidated.
A consolidated complaint, filed on December 7, 2000, was brought on behalf of a purported class of
persons who purchased Harmonics publicly traded securities between January 19 and June 26, 2000.
The complaint also alleged claims on behalf of a purported subclass of persons who purchased C-Cube
securities between January 19 and May 3, 2000. In addition to Harmonic and certain of its officers
and directors, the complaint also named C-Cube Microsystems Inc. and several of its officers and
directors as defendants. The complaint alleged that, by making false or misleading statements
regarding Harmonics prospects and customers and its acquisition of C-Cube, certain defendants
violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). The
complaint also alleged that certain defendants violated Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and
Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act) by filing a
false or misleading registration statement, prospectus, and joint proxy in connection with the
C-Cube acquisition.
On July 3, 2001, the District Court dismissed the consolidated complaint with leave to amend. An
amended complaint alleging the same claims against the same defendants was filed on August 13,
2001. Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint on September 24, 2001. On November 13,
2002, the District Court issued an opinion granting the motions to dismiss the amended complaint
without leave to amend. Judgment for defendants was entered on December 2, 2002. On December 12,
2002, plaintiffs filed a motion to amend the judgment and for leave to file an amended complaint
pursuant to Rules 59(e) and 15(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. On June 6, 2003, the
District Court denied plaintiffs motion to amend the judgment and for leave to file an amended
complaint. Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal on July 1, 2003. The appeal was heard by a panel of
three judges of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (the Ninth Circuit) on
February 17, 2005.
On November 8, 2005, the Ninth Circuit panel affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded for
further proceedings the decision of the District Court. The Ninth Circuit affirmed the District
Courts dismissal of the plaintiffs fraud claims under Sections 10(b), 14(a), and 20(a) of the
Exchange Act with prejudice, finding that the plaintiffs failed to adequately plead their
allegations of fraud. The Ninth Circuit reversed the District Courts dismissal of the plaintiffs
claims under Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act, however, finding that those claims did
not allege fraud and therefore were subject to only minimal pleading standards. Regarding the
secondary liability claim under Section 15 of the Securities Act, the Ninth Circuit reversed the
dismissal of that claim against Anthony J. Ley, Harmonics Chairman and former Chief Executive
Officer, and affirmed the dismissal of that claim against Harmonic, while granting leave to amend.
The Ninth Circuit remanded the surviving claims to the District Court for further proceedings.
On November 22, 2005, both the Harmonic defendants and the plaintiffs petitioned the Ninth Circuit
for a rehearing of the appeal. On February 16, 2006 the Ninth Circuit denied both petitions. On May
17, 2006 the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on the issues remanded for further proceedings
by the Ninth Circuit, to which the Harmonic defendants responded with a motion to dismiss certain
claims and to strike certain allegations. On December 11, 2006, the Court granted the motion to
dismiss with respect to the Section 12(a)(2) claim against the individual Harmonic defendants and
granted the motion to strike, but denied the motion to dismiss the Section 15 claim. A case
management conference was held on January 25, 2007, at which the Court set a trial date in August
2008, with discovery to close in February 2008. The Court also ordered the parties to attend a
settlement conference with a
17
magistrate judge or a private mediation before June 30, 2007. A mediation session was held on May
24, 2007 at which the parties were unable to reach a settlement.
A derivative action purporting to be on behalf of Harmonic was filed against its then-current
directors in the Superior Court for the County of Santa Clara on September 5, 2000. Harmonic also
was named as a nominal defendant. The complaint is based on allegations similar to those found in
the securities class action and claims that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by,
among other things, causing Harmonic to violate federal securities laws. The derivative action was
removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on September
20, 2000. All deadlines in this action were stayed pending resolution of the motions to dismiss the
securities class action. On July 29, 2003, the Court approved the parties stipulation to dismiss
this derivative action without prejudice and to toll the applicable limitations period pending the
Ninth Circuits decision in the securities action. Pursuant to the stipulation, defendants have
provided plaintiff with a copy of the mandate issued by the Ninth Circuit in the securities action.
A second derivative action purporting to be on behalf of Harmonic was filed in the Superior Court
for the County of Santa Clara on May 15, 2003. It alleges facts similar to those previously alleged
in the securities class action and the federal derivative action. The complaint names as defendants
former and current Harmonic officers and directors, along with former officers and directors of
C-Cube Microsystems, Inc., who were named in the securities class action. The complaint also names
Harmonic as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges claims for abuse of control, gross
mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets against the Harmonic defendants, and claims for breach
of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and negligent misrepresentation against all defendants. On
July 22, 2003, the Court approved the parties stipulation to stay the case pending resolution of
the appeal in the securities class action. Following the decision of the Ninth Circuit discussed
above, on May 9, 2006, defendants filed demurrers to this complaint. The plaintiffs then filed an
amended complaint on July 10, 2006, which names only the Harmonic defendants. The defendants filed
demurrers to the amended complaint and reply briefs are due September 13, 2007. A case management
conference and hearing are scheduled for October 5, 2007.
Based on its review of the surviving claims in the securities class actions, Harmonic believes that
it has meritorious defenses and intends to defend itself vigorously. There can be no assurance,
however, that Harmonic will prevail. No estimate can be made of the possible range of loss
associated with the resolution of this contingency, and accordingly, Harmonic has not recorded a
liability. An unfavorable outcome of this litigation could have a material adverse effect on
Harmonics business, operating results, financial position or cash flows.
On July 3, 2003, Stanford University and Litton Systems filed a complaint in U.S. District Court
for the Central District of California alleging that optical fiber amplifiers incorporated into
certain of Harmonics products infringe U.S. Patent No. 4859016. This patent expired in September
2003. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, royalties and damages. At this time, we are unable to
determine whether we will be able to settle this litigation on reasonable terms or at all, nor can
we predict the impact of an adverse outcome of this litigation if we elect to defend against it. No
estimate can be made of the possible range of loss associated with the resolution of this
contingency and accordingly, we have not recorded a liability associated with the outcome of a
negotiated settlement or an unfavorable verdict in litigation. An unfavorable outcome of this
matter could have a material adverse effect on Harmonics business, operating results, financial
position or cash flows.
Harmonic is involved in other litigation and may be subject to claims arising in the normal course
of business. In the opinion of management the amount of ultimate liability with respect to these
matters in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its operating
results, financial position or cash flows.
Note 18: Subsequent Event
On July 25, 2007, Harmonic announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire
Rhozet Corporation, a privately held company based in Santa Clara, California. Harmonic completed
the acquisition of Rhozet on July 31, 2007. Rhozet offers software-based universal transcoding
solutions that facilitate the creation of multi-format video for Internet, mobile and broadcast
applications. The purchase consideration of approximately
$15.5 million was comprised of approximately $5.3 million
in cash and the issuance of approximately 1.1 million shares of Harmonic common
stock with a value of $10.2 million, as set forth in the definitive agreement.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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 related to our expectation that the acquisition of
Entone will enable us to expand the scope of solutions we offer to cable, satellite and IPTV
providers; our expectation that the majority of our net sales will be to relatively few customers
for the foreseeable future; our expectation that international sales will continue to account for a
significant portion of our net sales for the foreseeable future; our expectation that the
completion of the closure of the facilities we occupied in the UK as a result of the BTL
acquisition will result in an additional charge to excess facilities in the third quarter of 2007;
our expectation that we will record approximately $2.0 million in amortization of intangibles in
cost of sales in the remaining six months of 2007 due to the acquisition of Entone; our expectation
that we will record a total of approximately $0.2 million in amortization of intangibles in
operating expenses in the remaining six months of 2007 due to the acquisition of Entone; our expectation that capital expenditures will be in the
range of $5 million to $6 million during 2007; our belief that our existing liquidity sources,
including our bank line of credit facility, will satisfy our requirements for at least the next
twelve months; our belief that near-term changes in exchange rates
will not have a material impact on our operating results, financial position and liquidity; our
belief that a 10% change in interest rates would not have a material impact on our financial
conditions, results of operations or cash flows; our expectation that sales to cable television,
satellite and telecommunications operators will constitute a significant portion of net sales for
the foreseeable future; our expectation that SFAS 123(R) will continue to negatively impact our
earnings and may affect our ability to raise capital on acceptable terms; our expectation that our
operations will be affected by new environmental laws and regulations on an ongoing basis; our
belief that any ultimate liability of Harmonic with respect to certain litigation arising in the
normal course of business will not, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on us or our
operating results, financial position or cash flows; and our expectation that operating results are
likely to fluctuate in the future. These statements involve risks and uncertainties as well as
assumptions that, if they were to never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause actual results
to differ materially from those projected, expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.
These risks and uncertainties include those set forth under Risk Factors below and elsewhere in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and that are otherwise described from time to time in Harmonics
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Overview
Harmonic designs, manufactures and sells products and systems that enable network operators to
efficiently deliver broadcast and on-demand video services that include digital video,
video-on-demand (VOD) and high definition television (HDTV) as well as high-speed Internet access
and telephony. Historically, the majority of our sales have been derived from sales of video
processing solutions and edge and access systems to cable television operators. We also provide our
video processing solutions to direct broadcast satellite (DBS) operators and to telephone
companies, or telcos, that offer video services to their customers.
In the second quarter and first six months of 2007, Harmonics net sales increased 34% and 29%
compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2006, respectively. The increase in sales in
the second quarter and the first six months of 2007 compared to the corresponding periods in 2006
were primarily due to stronger demand from our domestic cable customers for products and solutions
related to video-on-demand (VOD) deployments as well as continuing bandwidth and network expansion,
and sales of our recently introduced products. Gross margins increased in the second quarter and
the first six months of 2007 compared to the corresponding periods in 2006 due to favorable margins
from the sale of new products and lower average product costs due to increased manufacturing
volumes.
Historically, a majority of our net sales have been to relatively few customers, and due in part to
the consolidation of ownership of cable television and direct broadcast satellite systems, we
expect this customer concentration to continue for the foreseeable future. In the second quarter of
2007, sales to Comcast accounted for 16% of net sales, and in the second quarter of 2006, sales to
Cox Communications accounted for 13% of net sales. In the first six months of 2007, sales to
Comcast accounted for 19% of net sales, and in the first six months of 2006 no customer had sales
that accounted for more that 10% of sales.
19
Sales to customers outside of the U.S. in the second quarter and the first six months of 2007
represented 46% and 43% of net sales, respectively, compared to 49% and 52% for the comparable
periods in 2006. A significant portion of international sales are made to distributors and system
integrators, which are generally responsible for importing the products and providing installation
and technical support and service to customers within their territory. Sales denominated in foreign
currencies were approximately 6% in the first six months of 2007 compared to 5% for the comparable
period of 2006. We expect international sales to continue to account for a significant portion of
our net sales for the foreseeable future.
Harmonic often recognizes a significant portion, or the majority, of its revenues in the last month
of the quarter. Harmonic establishes its expenditure levels for product development and other
operating expenses based on projected sales levels, and expenses are relatively fixed in the short
term. Accordingly, variations in timing of sales can cause significant fluctuations in operating
results. Harmonics expenses for any given quarter are typically based on expected sales and if
sales are below expectations, our operating results may be adversely impacted by our inability to
adjust spending to compensate for the shortfall. In addition, because a significant portion of
Harmonics business is derived from orders placed by a limited number of large customers, the
timing of such orders can also cause significant fluctuations in our operating results.
In 2001 and 2002 excess facilities and fixed asset impairment charges totaling $52.6 million were
recorded due to the Companys reduced headcount, difficult business conditions and a weak local
commercial real estate market. In the fourth quarter of 2005, the excess facilities liability was
decreased by $1.1 million due to subleasing a portion of the unoccupied portion of one building for
the remainder of the lease. In the third quarter of 2006, we completed our facilities
rationalization plan resulting in more efficient use of our Sunnyvale campus and vacated several
buildings, some of which were subsequently subleased. This resulted in a net charge for excess
facilities of $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2006. Although we entered into new subleases for
approximately 60,000 square feet of space in 2004, 30,000 square feet of space in 2005 and
approximately 60,000 square feet of space in 2006, in the event we are unable to achieve expected
levels of sublease rental income, we will need to revise our estimate of the liability, which could
materially impact our financial position, liquidity, cash flows and results of operations.
In the fourth quarter of 2006, we discontinued a decoder product line and announced the closing of
our manufacturing operations in the UK. In the first quarter of 2007 we decided to shut down our UK
research and development operations and to abandon the facility in which such operations were
conducted which resulted in an excess facility charge of $0.3 million for two buildings. We expect
to complete the closure of the facility in the third quarter of 2007 which we expect will result in
an additional charge to excess facilities.
On December 8, 2006, Harmonic completed its acquisition of the video networking software business
of Entone for a total purchase price of $49.0 million. The purchase price consisted of a payment of
$26.2 million, the issuance of 3,579,715 shares of Harmonic common stock with a value of $20.1
million, the issuance of 175,342 options to purchase Harmonic common stock with a value of $0.2
million, and $2.5 million of transaction costs. Prior to the closing of the acquisition, Entone
spun off its consumer premises equipment, or CPE, business into a separate private company. As part
of the terms of the acquisition agreement pursuant to which Harmonic acquired the video networking
software business of Entone, Harmonic was obligated to purchase a convertible note with a face
amount of $2.5 million in the new spun off private company subject to its closing of an initial
round of equity financing in which at least $4 million is
invested by third parties. This note
was funded in July 2007.
On July 31, 2007, Harmonic announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire
Rhozet Corporation, a privately held company based in Santa Clara, California. Harmonic completed
the acquisition of Rhozet on July 31, 2007. Rhozet offers software-based universal transcoding
solutions that facilitate the creation of multi-format video for Internet, mobile and broadcast
applications. The purchase consideration of approximately
$15.5 million was comprised of approximately $5.3 million
in cash and the issuance of approximately 1.1 million shares of Harmonic common
stock with a value of $10.2 million, as set forth in the definitive agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures requires Harmonic to make
judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
the disclosure of contingencies and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of
revenue and expenses if different judgments or different estimates were made.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the annual consolidated financial
statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2007 and notes to condensed consolidated financial statements
as of and for the three and six month periods ended June 29, 2007, included herein. Our most critical
accounting policies have not changed since December 31, 2006 and include the following:
|
§ |
|
Revenue recognition; |
|
|
§ |
|
Allowances for doubtful accounts, returns and discounts; |
|
|
§ |
|
Valuation of inventories; |
|
|
§ |
|
Impairment of long-lived assets; |
|
|
§ |
|
Restructuring costs and accruals for excess facilities; |
|
|
§ |
|
Assessment of the probability of the outcome of current litigation; |
|
|
§ |
|
Accounting for income taxes, and |
|
|
§ |
|

Our accounting policy for income taxes was recently modified due to the adoption of FASB
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109, or FIN 48, see Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on
Income Taxes.

Net sales increased in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period of 2006 principally
due to stronger demand from our domestic cable customers for products and solutions related to
video-on-demand (VOD) deployments as well as continuing bandwidth and network expansion, and sales
of our recently introduced products. In the video processing product line, encoder sales increased
by approximately $6.4 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in the
prior year due to higher spending by all types of customers. The edge and access products line
experienced an increase in net sales of $7.7 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the
same period in 2006 due to an increase in VOD deployments from domestic cable operators in the
second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006.
Software and other revenue increased in the second quarter of 2007
compared to the same period of 2006 primarily due to continued
network expansion and upgrades, and sales of recently
introduced products. Service and support revenue, primarily consisting of
maintenance agreements, system integration and customer repairs,
increased in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period
of 2006 principally due to an increased customer base.
Net sales increased in the first six months of 2007 compared to the same period of 2006 principally
due to stronger demand from our domestic cable customers for products
and solutions related to video-on-demand (VOD) deployments as
well as continuing bandwidth and network expansion, and sales of our newly introduced products. In
the video processing product line, encoder sales were higher by approximately $10.4 million and
stream processing products sales were higher by approximately $6.0 million in the first six months
of 2007 compared to the same period in the prior year due to higher spending across all types of
customers except telco. The edge and access products line experienced an increase in net sales of
$15.7 million in the first six months of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 due to an
increase in VOD deployments from domestic cable operators in the
first six months of 2007. Software and other revenue increased in the
first six months of 2007 compared to the same period of 2006
primarily due to continued network expansion and upgrades, and sales
of recently introduced products. Service and support revenue,
consisting of maintenance agreements, system integration and customer
repairs, increased in the first six months of 2007 compared to the

The increased U.S. sales in the second quarter and first six months of 2007 compared to the
corresponding periods in 2006 was principally due to stronger demand from our domestic satellite
and cable customers for products and solutions related to VOD deployments as well as continued
bandwidth and network expansion, and sales of recently introduced products. For example, sales to
Comcast increased by $8.8 million and $16.8 million in the second quarter and first six months of
2007 compared to the corresponding periods of 2006, respectively.
International sales in the second quarter and the first six months of 2007 increased compared to
the corresponding periods in 2006 primarily due to stronger demand from satellite and cable
customers for network expansion, primarily in the South American and Asian markets. We expect that
international sales will continue to account for a significant portion of our net sales for the
foreseeable future.

The increase in gross profit in the second quarter of 2007 as compared to the corresponding period
of 2006 was primarily due to increased sales, partially offset by increased expense of $0.8 million
from amortization of intangibles. The gross margin percentage of 42.9% in the second quarter of
2007 compared to 40.6% in the second quarter of 2006 was higher primarily due to higher gross
margin on recently introduced products, partially offset by increased expense from amortization of
intangibles.
The increase in gross profit in the first six months of 2007 as compared to the first six months of
2006 was primarily due to increased sales, partially offset by increased expense of $1.7 million
from amortization of intangibles. The gross margin percentage of 40.8% in the first six months of
2007 compared to 37.9% in the first six months of 2006 was higher primarily due to higher gross
margin on recently introduced products, which was partially offset by increased expense from
amortization of intangibles.
In the first six months of 2007, $2.0 million of amortization of intangibles was included in cost
of sales compared to $0.3 million in the first six months of 2006. The higher amortization in the
first six months of 2007 was due to the amortization of intangibles arising from the Entone
acquisition which was completed in the fourth quarter of 2006. We expect to record approximately
$2.0 million in amortization of intangibles in cost of sales in the remaining six months of 2007
due to the acquisition of Entone. Additional amortization of intangibles is expected to be recorded
in the remaining six months of 2007 when the acquisition of Rhozet Corporation is completed.

Research and development expense was flat in the second quarter of 2007 as compared to the same
period in 2006, although there were lower facility and overhead expenses of $0.6 million and lower
consulting expenses of $0.2 million, which were substantially offset by increased compensation
costs of $0.7 million. The increased compensation costs in the second quarter of 2007 were related
to the increased headcount associated with the acquisition of Entone in December 2006 and higher
incentive compensation expenses.
The increase in research and development expense in the first six months of 2007 as compared to the
first six months of 2006 was primarily the result of increased compensation costs of $2.1 million,
which was partially offset by lower facility and overhead expenses of $0.9 million and decreased
use of prototype materials of $0.3 million associated with the development of new products. The
increased compensation costs in the first six months of 2007
24
were related to the increased headcount associated with the acquisition of Entone in December 2006
and higher incentive compensation expenses.

The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense in the second quarter of 2007 compared
to the same period in 2006 was primarily a result of lower overhead and facilities expenses of $0.4
million and lower third party commissions of $0.3 million, partially offset by higher legal
expenses of $0.3 million resulting from acquisition and personnel expenses and increased travel
expenses of $0.1 million associated with selling activities.
The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense in the first six months of 2007
compared to the first six months of 2006 was primarily a result of lower ongoing overhead and
facilities expenses of $0.6 million and lower third party commissions of $0.3 million, partially offset by the excess facilities charge of $0.4 million related to the closure of the BTL
facility in the UK and higher legal expenses of $0.3 million resulting from acquisition and
personnel expenses.

The increase in the amortization of intangibles in the second quarter and first six months of 2007
compared to the corresponding periods in 2006 was primarily due to the acquisition of Entones
intangible assets during the fourth quarter of 2006. Harmonic expects to record a total of
approximately $0.2 million in amortization of intangibles in operating expenses in the remaining
six months of 2007 due to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of
Entone. Additional amortization of intangibles is expected to be recorded in the remaining six
months of 2007 when the acquisition of Rhozet Corporation is completed.

The decrease in interest income, net, in the second quarter and first six months of 2007 compared
to the corresponding periods of 2006, was due primarily to a lower portfolio balance during the
second quarter and first six months of 2007 which was partially offset by lower interest expense on
debt.

The decrease in the provision for income taxes in the second quarter and first six months of 2007
compared to the same period in 2006 was primarily due to the reversal of a prior year foreign tax
provision which was partially offset by a charge for interest on unresolved tax liabilities in the
current period.

As of June 29, 2007, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $82.2 million,
compared to $92.4 million as of December 31, 2006. Cash used in operations in the first six months
of 2007 was $10.0 million, resulting from net income of $7.4 million, adjusted for $8.3 million in
non-cash charges and a $25.6 million net change in assets and liabilities. The non-cash charges
included depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expense. The net change in assets
and liabilities included a decrease in accounts payable primarily from the payment of inventory
purchases, a decrease in accrued and other liabilities primarily from the payment of merger-related
obligations from our DiviCom acquisition in 2000 and the payment of incentive compensation, a
decrease in accrued excess facilities costs, an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets
primarily from deferred costs on revenue projects, which was partially offset by a decrease in
accounts receivable and an increase in deferred revenue.
To the extent that non-cash items increase or decrease our future operating results, there will be
no corresponding impact on our cash flows. After excluding the effects of these non-cash charges,
the primary changes in cash flows relating to operating activities resulted from changes in working
capital. Our primary source of operating cash flows is the collection of accounts receivable from
our customers. Our operating cash flows are also impacted by the timing of payments to our vendors
for accounts payable and other liabilities. We generally pay our vendors and service providers in
accordance with the invoice terms and conditions. In addition, we usually pay our annual incentive
compensation to employees in the first quarter.
Net cash used in investing activities was $6.9 million for the six months ended June 29, 2007,
resulting primarily from the payment of $2.5 million in merger costs from the Entone acquisition in
December 2006, the net purchase of investments of $1.9 million and by $2.5 million of capital
expenditures primarily for test equipment. Harmonic currently expects capital expenditures to be in
the range of $5 million to $6 million during 2007.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $4.8 million for the six months ended June 29, 2007,
resulting primarily from proceeds received of $5.3 million from the exercise of stock options and
the sale of our common stock under our ESPP, less the repayment of $0.5 million of the entire
remaining outstanding term loan.
Under the terms of the merger agreement with C-Cube, Harmonic is generally liable for C-Cubes
pre-merger liabilities. As of June 29, 2007, approximately $6.7 million of pre-merger liabilities
remained outstanding and are included in accrued liabilities. We are working with LSI Logic, which
acquired C-Cubes spun-off semiconductor business in June 2001 and assumed its obligations, to
develop an approach to settle these obligations, a process which has been underway since the merger
in 2000. These liabilities represent estimates of C-Cubes pre-merger obligations to various
authorities in 9 countries. Harmonic paid $2.4 million in January 2007, but is unable to predict
when the remaining obligations will be paid. The full amount of the estimated obligations has been
classified as a current liability. To the extent that these obligations are finally settled for
less than the amounts provided, Harmonic is required, under the terms of the merger agreement, to
refund the difference to LSI Logic. Conversely, if the settlements are more than the remaining $6.7
million pre-merger liability, LSI Logic is obligated to reimburse Harmonic.
Harmonic has a bank line of credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank, which provides for borrowings
of up to $20.0 million that matures on March 5, 2008. In March 2007, Harmonic paid in full the
outstanding balance of its secured
27
term loans and canceled this facility as part of the renewal process for the bank line of credit.
As of June 29, 2007, other than standby letters of credit and guarantees (Note 15), there were no
amounts outstanding under the line of credit facility and there were no borrowings in 2006 or 2007.
This facility, which was amended and restated in March 2007, contains financial and other covenants
including the requirement for Harmonic to maintain cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments, net of credit extensions, of not less than $30.0 million. If Harmonic is unable to
maintain this cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance or satisfy the additional
affirmative covenant requirements, Harmonic would be in noncompliance with the facility. In the
event of noncompliance by Harmonic with the covenants under the facility, Silicon Valley Bank would
be entitled to exercise its remedies under the facility which include declaring all obligations
immediately due and payable and disposing of the collateral if obligations were not repaid. At June
29, 2007, Harmonic was in compliance with the covenants under this line of credit facility. The
March 2007 amendment resulted in the company paying a fee of $10,000 and requiring payment of
approximately $20,000 of additional fees if the company does not maintain an unrestricted deposit
of $20.0 million with the bank. Future borrowings pursuant to the line bear interest at the banks
prime rate (8.25% at June 29, 2007). Borrowings are payable monthly and are collateralized by all
of Harmonics assets except intellectual property.
Harmonics cash and investment balances at June 29, 2007 were $82.2 million. We believe that our
existing liquidity sources will satisfy our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, we
may need to raise additional funds if our expectations are incorrect, to fund our operations, to
take advantage of unanticipated strategic opportunities or to strengthen our financial position. In
April 2005, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC. Pursuant to this
registration statement on Form S-3, which has been declared effective by the SEC, we are able to
issue registered common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and warrants to purchase common
stock from time to time, up to an aggregate of approximately $200 million, subject to market
conditions and our capital needs.
In addition, we actively review potential acquisitions that would complement our existing product
offerings, enhance our technical capabilities or expand our marketing and sales presence. Any
future transaction of this nature could require potentially significant amounts of capital or could
require us to issue our stock and dilute existing stockholders. If adequate funds are not
available, or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of market
opportunities, to develop new products or to otherwise respond to competitive pressures.
Our ability to raise funds may be adversely affected by a number of factors relating to Harmonic,
as well as factors beyond our control, including increased market uncertainty surrounding the
ongoing U.S. war on terrorism, as well as conditions in capital markets and the cable and satellite
industries. There can be no assurance that any financing will be available on terms acceptable to
us, if at all.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None as of June 29, 2007.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
As part of the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger with Entone Technologies, Inc., Harmonic
was obligated to purchase a convertible note with a face amount of $2.5 million in the new spun off
private company subject to its closing of an initial round of equity financing in which at least $4
million is invested by third parties. This note was funded in July 2007.
There were
no material changes in our contractual obligations and rights outside
of the ordinary course of business or other material changes in our
financial condition during the second quarter of 2007, other than the
unrecognized tax benefits associated with the adoption of Financial
Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (FIN) No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The
unrecognized tax benefits at June 29, 2007 were
$6.3 million whose timing of resolution of which is uncertain.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the operating results, financial position,
or liquidity of Harmonic due to adverse changes in market prices and rates. Harmonic is exposed to
market risk because of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates as measured
against the U.S. Dollar and currencies of Harmonics subsidiaries.
28
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Harmonic has a number of international customers each of whose sales are generally denominated in
U.S. dollars. Sales denominated in foreign currencies were approximately 6% and 5% of net sales in
the second quarter and first six months of 2007 and 2006, respectively. In addition, the Company
has various international branch offices that provide sales support and systems integration
services. Periodically, Harmonic enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts, or
forward contracts, to manage exposure related to accounts receivable denominated in foreign
currencies. Harmonic does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. At
June 29, 2007, we had a forward contract to sell Euros totaling $4.5 million that matures during
the third quarter of 2007. While Harmonic does not anticipate that near-term changes in exchange
rates will have a material impact on Harmonics operating results, financial position and
liquidity, Harmonic cannot assure you that a sudden and significant change in the value of local
currencies would not harm Harmonics operating results, financial position and liquidity.
Interest Rate Risk
Exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relate primarily to Harmonics investment
portfolio of marketable debt securities of various issuers, types and maturities and to Harmonics
borrowings under its bank line of credit facility. Harmonic does not use derivative instruments in
its investment portfolio, and its investment portfolio only includes highly liquid instruments with
an original maturity of less than two years. These investments are classified as available for sale
and are carried at estimated fair value, with material unrealized gains and losses reported in
other comprehensive income. There is risk that losses could be incurred if Harmonic were to sell
any of its securities prior to stated maturity. A 10% change in interest rates would not have had a
material impact on financial conditions, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under
the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in
reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange
Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC
rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and
procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well
conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of
the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and
procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the
cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any
disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the
likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in internal controls.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
29
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Shareholder Litigation
Between June 28 and August 25, 2000, several actions alleging violations of the federal securities
laws by Harmonic and certain of its officers and directors (some of whom are no longer with
Harmonic) were filed in or removed to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
California. The actions subsequently were consolidated.
A consolidated complaint, filed on December 7, 2000, was brought on behalf of a purported class of
persons who purchased Harmonics publicly traded securities between January 19 and June 26, 2000.
The complaint also alleged claims on behalf of a purported subclass of persons who purchased C-Cube
securities between January 19 and May 3, 2000. In addition to Harmonic and certain of its officers
and directors, the complaint also named C-Cube Microsystems Inc. and several of its officers and
directors as defendants. The complaint alleged that, by making false or misleading statements
regarding Harmonics prospects and customers and its acquisition of C-Cube, certain defendants
violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act. The complaint also alleged that
certain defendants violated Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of
the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act) by filing a false or misleading registration
statement, prospectus, and joint proxy in connection with the C-Cube acquisition.
On July 3, 2001, the District Court dismissed the consolidated complaint with leave to amend. An
amended complaint alleging the same claims against the same defendants was filed on August 13,
2001. Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint on September 24, 2001. On November 13,
2002, the District Court issued an opinion granting the motions to dismiss the amended complaint
without leave to amend. Judgment for defendants was entered on December 2, 2002. On December 12,
2002, plaintiffs filed a motion to amend the judgment and for leave to file an amended complaint
pursuant to Rules 59(e) and 15(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. On June 6, 2003, the
District Court denied plaintiffs motion to amend the judgment and for leave to file an amended
complaint. Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal on July 1, 2003. The appeal was heard by a panel of
three judges of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (the Ninth Circuit) on
February 17, 2005.
On November 8, 2005, the Ninth Circuit panel affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded for
further proceedings the decision of the District Court. The Ninth Circuit affirmed the District
Courts dismissal of the plaintiffs fraud claims under Sections 10(b), 14(a), and 20(a) of the
Exchange Act with prejudice, finding that the plaintiffs failed to adequately plead their
allegations of fraud. The Ninth Circuit reversed the District Courts dismissal of the plaintiffs
claims under Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act, however, finding that those claims did
not allege fraud and therefore were subject to only minimal pleading standards. Regarding the
secondary liability claim under Section 15 of the Securities Act, the Ninth Circuit reversed the
dismissal of that claim against Anthony J. Ley, Harmonics Chairman and former Chief Executive
Officer, and affirmed the dismissal of that claim against Harmonic, while granting leave to amend.
The Ninth Circuit remanded the surviving claims to the District Court for further proceedings.
On November 22, 2005, both the Harmonic defendants and the plaintiffs petitioned the Ninth Circuit
for a rehearing of the appeal. On February 16, 2006 the Ninth Circuit denied both petitions. On May
17, 2006 the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on the issues remanded for further proceedings
by the Ninth Circuit, to which the Harmonic defendants responded with a motion to dismiss certain
claims and to strike certain allegations. On December 11, 2006, the Court granted the motion to
dismiss with respect to the Section 12(a)(2) claim against the individual Harmonic defendants and
granted the motion to strike, but denied the motion to dismiss the Section 15 claim. A case
management conference was held on January 25, 2007, at which the Court set a trial date in August
2008, with discovery to close in February 2008. The Court also ordered the parties to attend a
settlement conference with a magistrate judge or a private mediation before June 30, 2007. A
mediation session was held on May 24, 2007 at which the parties were unable to reach a settlement.
30
A derivative action purporting to be on behalf of Harmonic was filed against its then-current
directors in the Superior Court for the County of Santa Clara on September 5, 2000. Harmonic also
was named as a nominal defendant. The complaint is based on allegations similar to those found in
the securities class action and claims that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by,
among other things, causing Harmonic to violate federal securities laws. The derivative action was
removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on September
20, 2000. All deadlines in this action were stayed pending resolution of the motions to dismiss the
securities class action. On July 29, 2003, the Court approved the parties stipulation to dismiss
this derivative action without prejudice and to toll the applicable limitations period pending the
Ninth Circuits decision in the securities action. Pursuant to the stipulation, defendants have
provided plaintiff with a copy of the mandate issued by the Ninth Circuit in the securities action.
A second derivative action purporting to be on behalf of Harmonic was filed in the Superior Court
for the County of Santa Clara on May 15, 2003. It alleges facts similar to those previously alleged
in the securities class action and the federal derivative action. The complaint names as defendants
former and current Harmonic officers and directors, along with former officers and directors of
C-Cube Microsystems, Inc., who were named in the securities class action. The complaint also names
Harmonic as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges claims for abuse of control, gross
mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets against the Harmonic defendants, and claims for breach
of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and negligent misrepresentation against all defendants. On
July 22, 2003, the Court approved the parties stipulation to stay the case pending resolution of
the appeal in the securities class action. Following the decision of the Ninth Circuit discussed
above, on May 9, 2006, defendants filed demurrers to this complaint. The plaintiffs then filed an
amended complaint on July 10, 2006, which names only the Harmonic defendants. The defendants filed
demurrers to the amended complaint and reply briefs are due September 13, 2007. A case management
conference and hearing are scheduled for October 5, 2007.
Based on its review of the surviving claims in the securities class actions, Harmonic believes that
it has meritorious defenses and intends to defend itself vigorously. There can be no assurance,
however, that Harmonic will prevail. No estimate can be made of the possible range of loss
associated with the resolution of this contingency, and accordingly, Harmonic has not recorded a
liability. An unfavorable outcome of this litigation could have a material adverse effect on
Harmonics business, operating results, financial position or cash flows.
Other Litigation
On July 3, 2003, Stanford University and Litton Systems filed a complaint in U.S. District Court
for the Central District of California alleging that optical fiber amplifiers incorporated into
certain of Harmonics products infringe U.S. Patent No. 4859016. This patent expired in September
2003. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, royalties and damages. At this time, we are unable to
determine whether we will be able to settle this litigation on reasonable terms or at all, nor can
we predict the impact of an adverse outcome of this litigation if we elect to defend against it. No
estimate can be made of the possible range of loss associated with the resolution of this
contingency and accordingly, we have not recorded a liability associated with the outcome of a
negotiated settlement or an unfavorable verdict in litigation. An unfavorable outcome of this
matter could have a material adverse effect on Harmonics business, operating results, financial
position or cash flows.
Harmonic is involved in other litigation and may be subject to claims arising in the normal course
of business. In the opinion of management the amount of ultimate liability with respect to these
matters in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its operating
results, financial position or cash flows.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
We Depend On Cable, Satellite And Telecom Industry Capital Spending For A Substantial Portion Of
Our Revenue And Any Decrease Or Delay In Capital Spending In These Industries Would Negatively
Impact Our Resources, Operating Results And Financial Condition And Cash Flows.
A significant portion of Harmonics sales have been derived from sales to cable television,
satellite and telecommunications operators, and we expect these sales to constitute a significant
portion of net sales for the foreseeable future. Demand for our products will depend on the
magnitude and timing of capital spending by cable
31
television operators, satellite operators, telephone companies and broadcasters for constructing
and upgrading their systems.
These capital spending patterns are dependent on a variety of factors, including:
|
|
access to financing; |
|
|
|
annual budget cycles; |
|
|
|
the impact of industry consolidation; |
|
|
|
the status of federal, local and foreign government regulation of telecommunications and television
broadcasting; |
|
|
|
overall demand for communication services and the acceptance of new video, voice and data services; |
|
|
|
evolving industry standards and network architectures; |
|
|
|
competitive pressures, including pricing pressures; |
|
|
|
discretionary customer spending patterns; and |
|
|
|
general economic conditions. |
In the past, specific factors contributing to reduced capital spending have included:
|
|
uncertainty related to development of digital video industry standards; |
|
|
|
delays associated with the evaluation of new services, new standards, and system architectures by many
operators; |
|
|
|
emphasis on generating revenue from existing customers by operators instead of new construction or network
upgrades; |
|
|
|
a reduction in the amount of capital available to finance projects of our customers and potential customers; |
|
|
|
proposed and completed business combinations and divestitures by our customers and regulatory review
thereof;
- - economic and financial conditions in domestic and international markets; and |
|
|
|
bankruptcies and financial restructuring of major customers. |
The financial difficulties of certain of our customers and changes in our customers deployment
plans adversely affected our business in recent years. An economic downturn or other factors could
also cause additional financial difficulties among our customers, and customers whose financial
condition has stabilized may not purchase new equipment at levels we have seen in the past.
Financial difficulties among our customers would adversely affect our operating results and
financial condition. In addition, industry consolidation has, in the past and may in the future,
constrain capital spending among our customers. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will
maintain or increase our net sales in the future.
If our product portfolio and product development plans do not position us well to capture an
increased portion of the capital spending of U.S. cable operators, our revenue may decline and our
operating results would be adversely affected.
32
Our Customer Base Is Concentrated And The Loss Of One Or More Of Our Key Customers, Or a Failure to
Diversify Our Customer Base, Could Harm Our Business.
Historically, a majority of our sales have been to relatively few customers, and due in part to the
consolidation of ownership of cable television and direct broadcast satellite systems, we expect
this customer concentration to continue in the foreseeable future. Sales to our ten largest
customers in the first six months of 2007 and the years 2006 and 2005 accounted for approximately
53%, 50% and 54% of net sales, respectively. Although we are attempting to broaden our customer
base by penetrating new markets such as the telecommunications and broadcast markets and expand
internationally, we expect to see continuing industry consolidation and customer concentration due
in part to the significant capital costs of constructing broadband networks. For example, Comcast
acquired AT&T Broadband in 2002, thereby creating the largest U.S. cable operator, reaching
approximately 22 million subscribers. The sale of Adelphia Communications cable systems to Comcast
and Time Warner Cable has led to further industry consolidation. NTL and Telewest, the two largest
cable operators in the UK, completed their merger in 2006. In the DBS market, The News Corporation
Ltd. acquired an indirect controlling interest in Hughes Electronics, the parent company of DirecTV
in 2003. News Corporation announced its intention to sell its interest in DirecTV to Liberty Media
in December 2006. In the telco market, AT&T recently completed its acquisition of Bell South.
In the first six months of 2007 and the years 2006 and 2005, sales to Comcast accounted for 19%,
12% and 18%, respectively, of net sales. The loss of Comcast or any other significant customer or
any reduction in orders by Comcast or any significant customer, or our failure to qualify our
products with a significant customer could adversely affect our business, operating results and
liquidity. In this regard, sales to Comcast declined in 2006 compared to 2005, both in absolute
dollars and as a percentage of revenues. The loss of, or any reduction in orders from, a
significant customer would harm our business.
In addition, historically we have been dependent upon capital spending in the cable and satellite
industry. We are attempting to diversify our customer base beyond cable and satellite customers,
principally into the telco market. Major telcos have begun to implement plans to rebuild or upgrade
their networks to offer bundled video, voice and data services. While we have recently increased
our revenue from telco customers, we are relatively new to this market. In order to be successful
in this market, we may need to build alliances with telco equipment manufacturers, adapt our
products for telco applications, take orders at prices resulting in lower margins, and build
internal expertise to handle the particular contractual and technical demands of the telco
industry. In addition, telco video deployments are subject to delays in completion, as video
processing technologies and video business models are new to most telcos and many of their largest
suppliers. Implementation issues with our products or those of other vendors have caused, and may
continue to cause delays in project completion for our customers and delay the recognition of
revenue by Harmonic. As a result of these and other factors, we cannot assure you that we will be
able to increase our revenues from the telco market, or that we can do so profitably, and any
failure to increase revenues and profits from telco customers could adversely affect our business.
Our Operating Results Are Likely To Fluctuate Significantly And May Fail To Meet Or Exceed The
Expectations Of Securities Analysts Or Investors, Causing Our Stock Price To Decline.
Our operating results have fluctuated in the past and are likely to continue to fluctuate in the
future, on an annual and a quarterly basis, as a result of several factors, many of which are
outside of our control. Some of the factors that may cause these fluctuations include:
|
|
the level and timing of capital spending of our customers, both in the U.S. and in foreign markets; |
|
|
|
changes in market demand; |
|
|
|
the timing and amount of orders, especially from significant customers; |
|
|
|
the timing of revenue recognition from solution contracts which may span several quarters; |
|
|
|
the timing of revenue recognition on sales arrangements, which may include multiple deliverables;
|
33
|
|
the timing of completion of projects; |
|
|
|
competitive market conditions, including pricing actions by our competitors; |
|
|
|
seasonality, with fewer construction and upgrade projects typically occurring in winter months and otherwise being
affected by inclement weather; |
|
|
|
our unpredictable sales cycles; |
|
|
|
the amount and timing of sales to telcos, which are particularly difficult to predict; |
|
|
|
new product introductions by our competitors or by us; |
|
|
|
changes in domestic and international regulatory environments; |
|
|
|
market acceptance of new or existing products; |
|
|
|
the cost and availability of components, subassemblies and modules; |
|
|
|
the mix of our customer base and sales channels; |
|
|
|
the mix of products sold and the effect it has on gross margins; |
|
|
|
changes in our operating expenses and extraordinary expenses; |
|
|
|
the impact of SFAS 123(R), an accounting standard which requires us to record the fair value of stock options as
compensation expense; |
|
|
|
the impact of FIN48, a recently adopted accounting interpretation which requires us to expense potential tax, penalties
and interest; |
|
|
|
our development of custom products and software; |
|
|
|
the level of international sales; and |
|
|
|
economic and financial conditions specific to the cable, satellite and telco industries, and general economic
conditions. |
The timing of deployment of our equipment can be subject to a number of other risks, including the
availability of skilled engineering and technical personnel, the availability of other equipment
such as compatible set top boxes, and our customers need for local franchise and licensing
approvals.
In addition, we often recognize a substantial portion of our revenues in the last month of the
quarter. We establish our expenditure levels for product development and other operating expenses
based on projected sales levels, and expenses are relatively fixed in the short term. Accordingly,
variations in timing of sales can cause significant fluctuations in operating results. As a result
of all these factors, our operating results in one or more future periods may fail to meet or
exceed the expectations of securities analysts or investors. In that event, the trading price of
our common stock would likely decline. In this regard, due to a decrease in gross profit percentage
in 2005, and lower than expected sales during the first and second quarters of 2006, we failed to
meet our internal expectations, as well as the expectations of securities analysts and investors,
and the price of our common stock declined, in some cases significantly.
34
Our Future Growth Depends on Market Acceptance of Several Emerging Broadband Services, on the
Adoption of New Broadband Technologies and on Several Other Broadband Industry Trends.
Future demand for our products will depend significantly on the growing market acceptance of
several emerging broadband services, including digital video; VOD; HDTV; mobile video services,
very high-speed data services and voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephony.
The effective delivery of these services will depend, in part, on a variety of new network
architectures and standards, such as:
|
|
new video compression standards such as MPEG-4/H.264 for both standard definition and high definition services; |
|
|
|
FTTP and DSL networks designed to facilitate the delivery of video services by telcos; |
|
|
|
the greater use of protocols such as IP; and |
|
|
|
the introduction of new consumer devices, such as advanced set-top boxes and personal video recorders (PVRs). |
If adoption of these emerging services and/or technologies is not as widespread or as rapid as we
expect, or if we are unable to develop new products based on these technologies on a timely basis,
our net sales growth will be materially and adversely affected.
Furthermore, other technological, industry and regulatory trends will affect the growth of our
business. These trends include the following:
|
|
convergence, or the desire of certain network operators to deliver
a package of video, voice and data services to consumers, also
known as the triple play; |
|
|
|
the entry of telcos into the video business; |
|
|
|
growth in HDTV, on-demand services and mobile video; |
|
|
|
the use of digital video by businesses, governments and educators; |
|
|
|
efforts by regulators and governments in the U.S. and abroad to
encourage the adoption of broadband and digital technologies; and |
|
|
|
the extent and nature of regulatory attitudes towards such issues
as competition between operators, access by third parties to
networks of other operators, local franchising requirements for
telcos to offer video, and new services such as VoIP. |
We Need To Develop And Introduce New And Enhanced Products In A Timely Manner To Remain
Competitive.
Broadband communications markets are characterized by continuing technological advancement, changes
in customer requirements and evolving industry standards. To compete successfully, we must design,
develop, manufacture and sell new or enhanced products that provide increasingly higher levels of
performance and reliability. However, we may not be able to successfully develop or introduce these
products if our products:
|
|
are not cost effective; |
|
|
|
are not brought to market in a timely manner; |
|
|
|
are not in accordance with evolving industry standards and architectures;
|
35
|
|
fail to achieve market acceptance; or |
|
|
|
are ahead of the market. |
We are currently developing and marketing products based on new video compression standards.
Encoding products based on the MPEG-2 compression standards have represented a significant portion
of our sales since the acquisition of DiviCom in 2000. New standards, such as MPEG-4/H.264 have
been adopted which provide significantly greater compression efficiency, thereby making more
bandwidth available to operators. The availability of more bandwidth is particularly important to
those DBS and telco operators seeking to launch, or expand, HDTV services. Harmonic has developed
and launched products, including HD encoders, based on these new standards in order to remain
competitive and is devoting considerable resources to this effort. There can be no assurance that
these efforts will be successful in the near future, or at all, or that competitors will not take
significant market share in HD encoding. At the same time, Harmonic needs to devote development
resources to the existing MPEG-2 product line which its cable customers continue to require.
Also, to successfully develop and market certain of our planned products for digital applications,
we may be required to enter into technology development or licensing agreements with third parties.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to enter into any necessary technology development or
licensing agreement on terms acceptable to us, or at all. The failure to enter into technology
development or licensing agreements when necessary could limit our ability to develop and market
new products and, accordingly, could materially and adversely affect our business and operating
results.
Broadband Communications Markets Are Characterized By Rapid Technological Change.
Broadband communications markets are relatively immature, making it difficult to accurately predict
the markets future growth rates, sizes or technological directions. In view of the evolving nature
of these markets, it is possible that cable television operators, telephone companies or other
suppliers of broadband wireless and satellite services will decide to adopt alternative
architectures or technologies that are incompatible with our current or future products. Also,
decisions by customers to adopt new technologies or products are often delayed by extensive
evaluation and qualification processes and can result in delays in sales of current products. If we
are unable to design, develop, manufacture and sell products that incorporate or are compatible
with these new architectures or technologies, our business will suffer.
The Markets In Which We Operate Are Intensely Competitive And Many Of Our Competitors Are Larger
And More Established.
The markets for fiber optics systems and digital video systems are extremely competitive and have
been characterized by rapid technological change and declining average selling prices. Pressure on
average selling prices was particularly severe during the most recent economic downturn as
equipment suppliers competed aggressively for customers reduced capital spending. Harmonics
competitors for fiber optic products include corporations such as Motorola, Cisco Systems and
C-Cor. In our video processing and edge and access products, we compete broadly with products from
vertically integrated system suppliers including Motorola, Cisco Systems, Tandberg Television and
Thomson Multimedia, and in certain product lines with a number of smaller companies. In February
2007, Ericsson launched a bid for Tandberg Television and in April 2007, Ericsson completed the
acquisition of Tandberg.
Many of our competitors are substantially larger and have greater financial, technical, marketing
and other resources than Harmonic. Many of these large organizations are in a better position to
withstand any significant reduction in capital spending by customers in these markets. They often
have broader product lines and market focus and may not be as susceptible to downturns in a
particular market. In addition, many of our competitors have been in operation longer than we have
and therefore have more long-standing and established relationships with domestic and foreign
customers. We may not be able to compete successfully in the future, which would harm our business.
If any of our competitors products or technologies were to become the industry standard, our
business could be
seriously harmed. For example, new standards for video compression are being introduced and
products based on these standards are being developed by Harmonic and certain competitors. If our
competitors are successful in
36
bringing these products to market earlier, or if these products are
more technologically capable than ours, then our sales could be materially and adversely affected.
In addition, companies that have historically not had a large presence in the broadband
communications equipment market have begun recently to expand their market share through mergers
and acquisitions. The continued consolidation of our competitors could have a significant negative
impact on us. Further, our competitors, particularly competitors of our digital and video
broadcasting systems business, may bundle their products or incorporate functionality into existing
products in a manner that discourages users from purchasing our products or which may require us to
lower our selling prices resulting in lower gross margins.
If Sales Forecasted For A Particular Period Are Not Realized In That Period Due To The
Unpredictable Sales Cycles Of Our Products, Our Operating Results For That Period Will Be Harmed.
The sales cycles of many of our products, particularly our newer products and products sold
internationally, are typically unpredictable and usually involve:
|
|
a significant technical evaluation; |
|
|
|
a commitment of capital and other resources by cable, satellite, and other network operators; |
|
|
|
time required to engineer the deployment of new technologies or new broadband services; |
|
|
|
testing and acceptance of new technologies that affect key operations; and |
|
|
|
test marketing of new services with subscribers. |
For these and other reasons, our sales cycles generally last three to nine months, but can last up
to 12 months. If orders forecasted for a specific customer for a particular quarter do not occur in
that quarter, our operating results for that quarter could be substantially lower than anticipated.
In this regard, our sales cycles with our current and potential satellite and telco customers are
particularly unpredictable. Orders may include multiple elements, the timing of delivery of which
may impact the timing of revenue recognition. Additionally, our sales arrangements may include
testing and acceptance of new technologies and the timing of completion of acceptance testing is
difficult to predict and may impact the timing of revenue recognition. Quarterly and annual results
may fluctuate significantly due to revenue recognition policies and the timing of the receipt of
orders. For example, revenue from two significant customer orders in the third quarter of 2004 was
delayed due to these factors until the fourth quarter of 2004, and delays in the completion of
certain projects underway with our international telco customers in the second quarter of 2006
resulted in lower revenue.
In addition, a significant portion of our revenue is derived from solution sales that principally
consist of and include the system design, manufacture, test, installation and integration of
equipment to the specifications of Harmonics customers, including equipment acquired from third
parties to be integrated with Harmonics products. Revenue forecasts for solution contracts are
based on the estimated timing of the system design, installation and integration of projects.
Because the solution contracts generally span several quarters and revenue recognition is based on
progress under the contract, the timing of revenue is difficult to predict and could result in
lower than expected revenue in any particular quarter.
We Must Be Able To Manage Expenses And Inventory Risks Associated With Meeting The Demand Of Our
Customers.
If actual orders are materially lower than the indications we receive from our customers, our
ability to manage inventory and expenses may be affected. If we enter into purchase commitments to
acquire materials, or expend resources to manufacture products, and such products are not purchased
by our customers, our business and operating results could suffer. In this regard, our gross
margins and operating results have been in the past adversely affected by significant charges for
excess and obsolete inventories.
In addition, we must carefully manage the introduction of next generation products in order to
balance potential inventory risks associated with excess quantities of older product lines and
forecasts of customer demand for new
37
products. For example, in 2005, we wrote down approximately
$8.4 million for obsolete and excess inventory, with a major portion of the write-down being the
result of product transitions in certain product lines. We also wrote down $1.1 million in 2006 as
a result of the end of life of a product line. There can be no assurance that we will be able to
manage these product transitions in the future without incurring write-downs for excess inventory
or having inadequate supplies of new products to meet customer expectations.
We Face Risks Associated With Having Important Facilities And Resources Located In Israel.
Harmonic maintains a facility in Caesarea in the State of Israel with a total of 70 employees as of
June 29, 2007, or approximately 12% of our workforce. The employees at this facility consist
principally of research and development personnel. In addition, we have pilot production
capabilities at this facility consisting of procurement of subassemblies and modules from Israeli
subcontractors and final assembly and test operations. Accordingly, we are directly influenced by
the political, economic and military conditions affecting Israel. Any recurrence of the recent
conflict in Israel and Lebanon could have a direct effect on our business or that of our Israeli
subcontractors, in the form of physical damage or injury, reluctance to travel within or to Israel
by our Israeli and foreign employees, or the loss of employees to active military duty. Most of our
employees in Israel are currently obligated to perform annual reserve duty in the Israel Defense
Forces and several have been called for active military duty recently. In the event that more
employees are called to active duty, certain of our research and development activities may be
adversely affected and significantly delayed. In addition, the interruption or curtailment of trade
between Israel and its trading partners could significantly harm our business. Terrorist attacks
and hostilities within Israel, the hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, the election of Hamas
representatives to a majority of the seats in the Palestinian Legislative Council and the recent
conflict between Hamas and Fatah in Gaza have also heightened these risks. We cannot assure you
that current tensions in the Middle East will not adversely affect our business and results of
operations, and we cannot predict the effect of events in Israel on Harmonic in the future.
We Depend On Our International Sales And Are Subject To The Risks Associated With International
Operations, Which May Negatively Affect Our Operating Results.
Sales to customers outside of the U.S. in the first six months of 2007 and the years 2006 and 2005
represented 43%, 49% and 40% of net sales, respectively, and we expect that international sales
will continue to represent a meaningful portion of our net sales for the foreseeable future.
Furthermore, a substantial portion of our contract manufacturing occurs overseas. Our international
operations, the international operations of our contract manufacturers, and our efforts to increase
sales in international markets, are subject to a number of risks, including:
|
|
changes in foreign government regulations and telecommunications standards; |
|
|
|
import and export license requirements, tariffs, taxes and other trade barriers; |
|
|
|
fluctuations in currency exchange rates; |
|
|
|
difficulty in collecting accounts receivable; |
|
|
|
potential tax issues; |
|
|
|
the burden of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws, treaties and technical standards; |
|
|
|
difficulty in staffing and managing foreign operations; |
|
|
|
political and economic instability, including risks related to terrorist activity; and |
|
|
|
changes in economic policies by foreign governments.
|
38
Certain of our international customers have accumulated significant levels of debt and have
undertaken reorganizations and financial restructurings, including bankruptcy proceedings. Even if
these restructurings are completed, we cannot assure you that these customers will be in a position
to purchase new equipment at levels we have seen in the past.
While our international sales and operating expenses have typically been denominated in U.S.
dollars, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could cause our products to become relatively more
expensive to customers in a particular country, leading to a reduction in sales or profitability in
that country. A significant portion of our European business is denominated in Euros, which may
subject us to increased foreign currency risk. Gains and losses on the conversion to U.S. dollars
of accounts receivable, accounts payable and other monetary assets and liabilities arising from
international operations may contribute to fluctuations in operating results.
Furthermore, payment cycles for international customers are typically longer than those for
customers in the U.S. Unpredictable sales cycles could cause us to fail to meet or exceed the
expectations of security analysts and investors for any given period. In addition, foreign markets
may not further develop in the future. Any or all of these factors could adversely impact our
business and results of operations.
Changes in Telecommunications Legislation and Regulations Could Harm Our Prospects And Future
Sales.
Changes in telecommunications legislation and regulations in the U.S. and other countries could
affect the sales of our products. In particular, regulations dealing with access by competitors to
the networks of incumbent operators could slow or stop additional construction or expansion by
these operators. Local franchising and licensing requirements may slow the entry of telcos into the
video business. Increased regulation of our customers pricing or service offerings could limit
their investments and consequently the sales of our products. Changes in regulations could have a
material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
Competition For Qualified Personnel, Particularly Management Personnel, Can Be Intense. In Order To
Manage Our Growth, We Must Be Successful In Addressing Management Succession Issues And Attracting
And Retaining Qualified Personnel.
Our future success will depend, to a significant extent, on the ability of our management to
operate effectively, both individually and as a group. We must successfully manage transition and
replacement issues that may result from the departure or retirement of members of our senior
management. For example, in May 2006 we announced that our then Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer, Anthony J. Ley, had retired from his position as President and Chief Executive
Officer effective immediately, and that he was being succeeded by our then Executive Vice
President, Patrick J. Harshman. In addition, in November 2006, we announced that our Senior Vice
President of Operations and Quality, Israel Levi, retired from his position and was succeeded by
Charles Bonasera as Vice President of Operations. We cannot assure you that transitions of
management personnel will not cause disruption to our operations or customer relationships, or a
decline in our financial results.
In addition, we are dependent on our ability to retain and motivate high caliber personnel, in
addition to attracting new personnel. Competition for qualified management, technical and other
personnel can be intense, and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel.
Competitors and others have in the past and may in the future attempt to recruit our employees.
While our employees are required to sign standard agreements concerning confidentiality and
ownership of inventions, we generally do not have employment contracts or non-competition
agreements with any of our personnel. The loss of the services of any of our key personnel, the
inability to attract or retain qualified personnel in the future or delays in hiring required
personnel, particularly senior management and engineers and other technical personnel, could
negatively affect our business.
Accounting
Standards And Stock Exchange Regulations Related To Equity Compensation Could Adversely
Affect Earnings, Affect Our Ability To Raise Capital And Affect Our Ability To Attract And Retain
Key Personnel.
Since our inception, we have used stock options as a fundamental component of our employee
compensation packages. We believe that our stock option plans are an essential tool to link the
long-term interests of stockholders and employees, especially executive management, and serve to
motivate management to make decisions that will, in
39
the long run, give the best returns to stockholders. The Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued FAS 123(R) that requires us to record a charge to earnings for employee stock option
grants and employee stock purchase plan rights for all periods from January 1, 2006. This standard
has negatively impacted and will continue to negatively impact our earnings and may affect our
ability to raise capital on acceptable terms. For the six months ended June 29, 2007, stock-based
compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) was $2.8 million, which consisted of stock-based
compensation expense related to employee equity awards and employee stock purchases.
In addition, regulations implemented by NASDAQ requiring stockholder approval for all stock option
plans could make it more difficult for us to grant options to employees in the future. To the
extent that new accounting standards make it more difficult or expensive to grant options to
employees, we may incur increased compensation costs, change our equity compensation strategy or
find it difficult to attract, retain and motivate employees, each of which could materially and
adversely affect our business.
We Are Exposed To Additional Costs And Risks Associated With Complying With Increasing And New
Regulation Of Corporate Governance And Disclosure Standards.
We are spending an increased amount of management time and external resources to comply with
changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure,
including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, SEC regulations and NASDAQ rules. Particularly, Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires managements annual review and evaluation of our internal
control over financial reporting, and attestation of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting by management and the Companys independent registered public accounting firm
in connection with the filing of the annual report on Form 10-K for each fiscal year. We have
documented and tested our internal control systems and procedures and have made improvements in
order for us to comply with the requirements of Section 404. This process required us to hire
additional personnel and outside advisory services and has resulted in significant additional
expenses. While our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting resulted in our
conclusion that as of December 31, 2006, our internal control over financial reporting was
effective, we cannot predict the outcome of our testing in future periods. If we conclude in future
periods that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective or if our independent
registered public accounting firm is unable to provide an unqualified opinion as of future
year-ends, investors may lose confidence in our financial statements, and the price of our stock
may suffer.
We May Need Additional Capital In The Future And May Not Be Able To Secure Adequate Funds On Terms
Acceptable To Us.
We have generated substantial operating losses since we began operations in June 1988. We have been
engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of a variety of broadband products since inception,
which has required, and will continue to require, significant research and development
expenditures. As of June 29, 2007 we had an accumulated deficit of $1.9 billion. These losses,
among other things, have had and may have an adverse effect on our stockholders equity and working
capital.
We believe that our existing liquidity sources will satisfy our cash requirements for at least the
next twelve months including our contractual obligation to invest $2.5 million in Entones CPE
business, which was funded in July 2007, the payment of $5.3 million as the cash portion of the
Rhozet Corporation acquisition, and final settlement and payment of C-Cubes pre-merger
liabilities. However, we may need to raise additional funds if our expectations are incorrect, to
fund our operations, to take advantage of unanticipated strategic opportunities or to strengthen
our financial position. In April 2005, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC.
Pursuant to this registration statement on Form S-3, which has been declared effective by the SEC,
we are able to issue registered common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and warrants to
purchase common stock from time to time, up to an aggregate of approximately $200 million, subject
to market conditions and our capital needs. Our ability to raise funds may be adversely affected by
a number of factors relating to Harmonic, as well as factors beyond our control, including
conditions in capital markets and the cable, telecom and satellite industries. There can be no
assurance that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
In addition, we actively review potential acquisitions that would complement our existing product
offerings, enhance our technical capabilities or expand our marketing and sales presence. Any
future transaction of this nature could require potentially significant amounts of capital to
finance the acquisition and related expenses as well as to
40
integrate operations following a transaction, and could require us to issue our stock and dilute
existing stockholders. If adequate funds are not available, or are not available on acceptable
terms, we may not be able to take advantage of market opportunities, to develop new products or to
otherwise respond to competitive pressures.
We may raise additional financing through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or
additional corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements. To the extent we raise additional
capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience dilution. To the extent that
we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements, it may be necessary to
relinquish some rights to our technologies or products, or grant licenses on terms that are not
favorable to us. If adequate funds are not available, we will not be able to continue developing
our products.
If Demand For Our Products Increases More Quickly Than We Expect, We May Be Unable To Meet Our
Customers Requirements.
If demand for our products increases, the difficulty of accurately forecasting our customers
requirements and meeting these requirements will increase. For example, we had insufficient
quantities of certain products to meet customer demand late in the second quarter of 2006 and, as a
result, our revenues were lower than internal and external expectations. Forecasting to meet
customers needs and effectively managing our supply chain is particularly difficult in connection
with newer products. Our ability to meet customer demand depends significantly on the availability
of components and other materials as well as the ability of our contract manufacturers to scale
their production. Furthermore, we purchase several key components, subassemblies and modules used
in the manufacture or integration of our products from sole or limited sources. Our ability to meet
customer requirements depends in part on our ability to obtain sufficient volumes of these
materials in a timely fashion. Also, in recent years, in response to lower net sales and the
prolonged economic recession, we significantly reduced our headcount and other expenses. As a
result, we may be unable to respond to customer demand that increases more quickly than we expect.
If we fail to meet customers supply expectations, our net sales would be adversely affected and we
may lose business.
We Purchase Several Key Components, Subassemblies And Modules Used In The Manufacture Or
Integration Of Our Products From Sole Or Limited Sources, And We Are Increasingly Dependent On
Contract Manufacturers.
Many components, subassemblies and modules necessary for the manufacture or integration of our
products are obtained from a sole supplier or a limited group of suppliers. For example, we depend
on a small private company for certain video encoding chips which are incorporated into several new
products. Our reliance on sole or limited suppliers, particularly foreign suppliers, and our
increased reliance on subcontractors involves several risks, including a potential inability to
obtain an adequate supply of required components, subassemblies or modules and reduced control over
pricing, quality and timely delivery of components, subassemblies or modules. In particular,
certain optical components have in the past been in short supply and are available only from a
small number of suppliers, including sole source suppliers. While we expend resources to qualify
additional component sources, consolidation of suppliers in the industry and the small number of
viable alternatives have limited the results of these efforts. We do not generally maintain
long-term agreements with any of our suppliers. Managing our supplier and contractor relationships
is particularly difficult during time periods in which we introduce new products and during time
periods in which demand for our products is increasing, especially if demand increases more quickly
than we expect. Furthermore, from time to time we assess our relationship with our contract
manufacturers. In 2003, we entered into a three-year agreement with Plexus Services Corp. as our
primary contract manufacturer. This agreement has automatic annual renewals unless prior notice is
given and has been renewed until October 2007.
Difficulties in managing relationships with current contract manufacturers, could impede our
ability to meet our customers requirements and adversely affect our operating results. An
inability to obtain adequate deliveries or any other circumstance that would require us to seek
alternative sources of supply could negatively affect our ability to ship our products on a timely
basis, which could damage relationships with current and prospective customers and harm our
business. We attempt to limit this risk by maintaining safety stocks of certain components,
subassemblies and modules. As a result of this investment in inventories, we have in the past and
in the future may be subject to risk of excess and obsolete inventories, which could harm our
business, operating results, financial position and liquidity. In this regard, our gross margins
and operating results in the past were adversely affected by significant excess and obsolete
inventory charges.

Cessation Of The Development And Production Of Video Encoding Chips By C-Cubes Spun-off
Semiconductor Business May Adversely Impact Us.
Our DiviCom business, which we acquired in 2000, and the C-Cube semiconductor business (acquired by
LSI Logic in June 2001) collaborated on the production and development of two video encoding
microelectronic chips prior to our acquisition of the DiviCom business. In connection with the
acquisition, Harmonic and the spun-off semiconductor business of C-Cube entered into a contractual
relationship under which Harmonic has access to certain of the spun-off semiconductor business
technologies and products on which the DiviCom business depends for certain product and service
offerings. The current term of this agreement is through October 2007, with automatic annual
renewals unless terminated by either party in accordance with the
agreement provisions. On July 27, 2007, LSI announced that it
had completed the sale of its consumer products business (which
includes the design and manufacture of encoding chips) to Magnum
Semiconductor. If the
spun-off semiconductor business is not able to or does not sustain its development and production
efforts in this area, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow could
be harmed.
We Need To Effectively Manage Our Operations And The Cyclical Nature Of Our Business.
The cyclical nature of our business has placed, and is expected to continue to place, a significant
strain on our personnel, management and other resources. We reduced our work force by approximately
44% between December 31, 2000 and December 31, 2003 due to reduced industry spending and demand for
our products. If demand for products increases significantly, we may need to increase our
headcount, as we did during 2004, adding 33 employees. In the first quarter of 2005, we added 42
employees in connection with our acquisition of BTL, and in connection with the consolidation of
our two operating divisions in December 2005, we reduced our workforce by approximately 40
employees. Following the closure of our BTL operations in the first quarter of 2007, we reduced our
headcount by 29 employees in the UK. Our purchase of the video networking software business of
Entone in December 2006 resulted in the addition of 43 employees, most of whom are based in Hong
Kong, and we added approximately 15 employees on July 31, 2007, in connection with the completion
of our acquisition of Rhozet Corporation. Our ability to manage our business effectively in the
future, including any future growth, will require us to train, motivate and manage our employees
successfully, to attract and integrate new employees into our overall operations, to retain key
employees and to continue to improve our operational, financial and management systems.
We Are Subject To Various Environmental Laws And Regulations That Could Impose Substantial Costs
Upon Us And May Adversely Affect Our Business, Operating Results And Financial Condition.
Some of our operations use substances regulated under various federal, state, local and
international laws governing the environment, including those governing the management, disposal
and labeling of hazardous substances and wastes and the cleanup of contaminated sites. We could
incur costs and fines, third-party property damage or personal injury claims, or could be required
to incur substantial investigation or remediation costs, if we were to violate or become liable
under environmental laws. The ultimate costs under environmental laws and the timing of these costs
are difficult to predict.
We also face increasing complexity in our product design as we adjust to new and future
requirements relating to the presence of certain substances in electronic products and making
producers of those products financially responsible for the collection, treatment, recycling, and
disposal of certain products. For example, the European Parliament and the Council of the European
Union have enacted the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive, effective August
13, 2005, which regulates the collection, recovery, and recycling of waste from electrical and
electronic products, and the Restriction on the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (RoHS) directive, effective July 1, 2006, which bans the use of certain
hazardous materials including lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and polybrominated
biphenyls (PBBs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) that exceed certain specified levels.
For some products, substituting particular components containing regulated hazardous substances is
more difficult or costly, and redesign efforts could result in production delays. Selected
electronic products that we maintain in inventory may be rendered obsolete if not in compliance
with the new environmental laws, and we may have unfulfilled sales orders, which could negatively
impact our ability to generate revenue from those products. Legislation similar to RoHS and WEEE
has been or may be enacted in other jurisdictions, including in the United States, Japan, and
China. Our failure to comply with these laws could result in our being directly or indirectly
liable for costs, fines or penalties and third-party claims, and could jeopardize our ability to
conduct business in such countries. We also expect that our operations will be affected by
42
other new environmental laws and regulations on an ongoing basis. Although we cannot predict the
ultimate impact of any such new laws and regulations, they will likely result in additional costs
or decreased revenue, and could require that we redesign or change how we manufacture our products,
any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We Are Liable For C-Cubes Pre-Merger Liabilities, Including Liabilities Resulting From The
Spin-Off Of Its Semiconductor Business.
Under the terms of the merger agreement with C-Cube, Harmonic is generally liable for C-Cubes
pre-merger liabilities. As of June 29, 2007, approximately $6.7 million of pre-merger liabilities
remained outstanding and are included in accrued liabilities. We are working with LSI Logic, which
acquired C-Cubes spun-off semiconductor business in June 2001 and assumed its obligations, to
develop an approach to settle these obligations, a process which has been underway since the merger
in 2000. These liabilities represent estimates of C-Cubes pre-merger obligations to various
authorities in 9 countries. Harmonic paid $2.4 million in January 2007, but is unable to predict
when the remaining obligations will be paid. The full amount of the estimated obligations has been
classified as a current liability. To the extent that these obligations are finally settled for
less than the amounts provided, Harmonic is required, under the terms of the merger agreement, to
refund the difference to LSI Logic. Conversely, if the settlements are more than the remaining $6.7
million pre-merger liability, LSI Logic is obligated to reimburse Harmonic.
The merger agreement stipulates that Harmonic will be indemnified by the spun-off semiconductor
business if the cash reserves are not sufficient to satisfy all of C-Cubes liabilities for periods
prior to the merger. If for any reason, the spun-off semiconductor business does not have
sufficient cash to pay such taxes, or if there are additional taxes due with respect to the
non-semiconductor business and Harmonic cannot be indemnified by LSI Logic, Harmonic generally will
remain liable, and such liability could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows.
We May Be Subject To Risks Associated With Acquisitions.
We have made, continue to consider making and may make investments in complementary companies,
products or technologies. For example, on December 8, 2006, we acquired the video networking
software business of Entone Technologies, Inc., and on July 31, 2007, we completed the acquisition
of Rhozet Corporation. In connection with these and other acquisition transactions, we could have
difficulty assimilating or retaining the acquired companies key personnel and operations,
integrating the acquired technology or products into ours or complying with internal control
requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as a result of an acquisition.
We also may face challenges in achieving the strategic objectives, cost savings or other benefits
from these acquisitions and difficulties in expanding our management information systems to
accommodate the acquired business. For example, we recently closed all operations and product lines
related to Broadcast Technology Limited, which we acquired in 2005. Such difficulties could disrupt
our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and significantly increase our
expenses. Moreover, our operating results may suffer because of acquisition-related expenses,
amortization of intangible assets and impairment of acquired goodwill or intangible assets.
Furthermore, we may have to incur debt or issue equity securities to pay for any future
acquisitions, or to provide for additional working capital requirements, the issuance of which
could be dilutive to our existing shareholders. If we are unable to successfully address any of
these risks, our business, financial condition or operating results could be harmed.
Our Failure To Adequately Protect Our Proprietary Rights May Adversely Affect Us.
We currently hold 38 issued U.S. patents and 19 issued foreign patents, and have a number of patent
applications pending. Although we attempt to protect our intellectual property rights through
patents, trademarks, copyrights, licensing arrangements, maintaining certain technology as trade
secrets and other measures, we cannot assure you that any patent, trademark, copyright or other
intellectual property rights owned by us will not be invalidated, circumvented or challenged, that
such intellectual property rights will provide competitive advantages to us or that any of our
pending or future patent applications will be issued with the scope of the claims sought by us, if
at all. We cannot assure you that others will not develop technologies that are similar or superior
to our technology, duplicate
43
our technology or design around the patents that we own. In addition, effective patent, copyright
and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in certain foreign countries in which we
do business or may do business in the future.
We believe that patents and patent applications are not currently significant to our business, and
investors therefore should not rely on our patent portfolio to give us a competitive advantage over
others in our industry. We believe that the future success of our business will depend on our
ability to translate the technological expertise and innovation of our personnel into new and
enhanced products. We generally enter into confidentiality or license agreements with our
employees, consultants, vendors and customers as needed, and generally limit access to and
distribution of our proprietary information. Nevertheless, we cannot assure you that the steps
taken by us will prevent misappropriation of our technology. In addition, we have taken in the
past, and may take in the future, legal action to enforce our patents and other intellectual
property rights, to protect our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the
proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Such
litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could negatively affect
our business, operating results, financial position or cash flows.
In order to successfully develop and market certain of our planned products for digital
applications, we may be required to enter into technology development or licensing agreements with
third parties. Although many companies are often willing to enter into technology development or
licensing agreements, we cannot assure you that such agreements will be negotiated on terms
acceptable to us, or at all. The failure to enter into technology development or licensing
agreements, when necessary, could limit our ability to develop and market new products and could
cause our business to suffer.
We Or Our Customers May Face Intellectual Property Infringement Claims From Third Parties.
Harmonics industry is characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and frequent
claims and related litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. In
particular, leading companies in the telecommunications industry have extensive patent portfolios.
From time to time, third parties, including these leading companies, have asserted and may assert
exclusive patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights against us or our
customers. Indeed, a number of third parties, including leading companies, have asserted patent
rights to technologies that are important to us.
On July 3, 2003, Stanford University and Litton Systems filed a complaint in U.S. District Court
for the Central District of California alleging that optical fiber amplifiers incorporated into
certain of Harmonics products infringe U.S. Patent No. 4859016. This patent expired in September
2003. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, royalties and damages. At this time, we are unable to
determine whether we will be able to settle this litigation on reasonable terms or at all, nor can
we predict the impact of an adverse outcome of this litigation if we elect to defend against it. No
estimate can be made of the possible range of loss associated with the resolution of this
contingency and accordingly, we have not recorded a liability associated with the outcome of a
negotiated settlement or an unfavorable verdict in litigation. An unfavorable outcome of this
matter could have a material adverse effect on Harmonics business, operating results, financial
position or cash flows.
Our suppliers and customers may receive similar claims. We have agreed to indemnify some of our
suppliers and customers for alleged patent infringement. The scope of this indemnity varies, but,
in some instances, includes indemnification for damages and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys fees).
We Are The Subject Of Securities Class Action Claims And Other Litigation Which, If Adversely
Determined, Could Harm Our Business And Operating Results.
Between June 28 and August 25, 2000, several actions alleging violations of the federal securities
laws by Harmonic and certain of its officers and directors (some of whom are no longer with
Harmonic) were filed in or removed to the United States District Court (the District Court) for
the Northern District of California. The actions subsequently were consolidated.
A consolidated complaint, filed on December 7, 2000, was brought on behalf of a purported class of
persons who purchased Harmonics publicly traded securities between January 19 and June 26, 2000.
The complaint also alleged
44
claims on behalf of a purported subclass of persons who purchased C-Cube securities between January
19 and May 3, 2000. In addition to Harmonic and certain of its officers and directors, the
complaint also named C-Cube Microsystems Inc. and several of its officers and directors as
defendants. The complaint alleged that, by making false or misleading statements regarding
Harmonics prospects and customers and its acquisition of C-Cube, certain defendants violated
Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act. The complaint also alleged that certain
defendants violated Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the
Securities Act by filing a false or misleading registration statement, prospectus, and joint proxy
in connection with the C-Cube acquisition.
On July 3, 2001, the District Court dismissed the consolidated complaint with leave to amend. An
amended complaint alleging the same claims against the same defendants was filed on August 13,
2001. Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint on September 24, 2001. On November 13,
2002, the District Court issued an opinion granting the motions to dismiss the amended complaint
without leave to amend. Judgment for defendants was entered on December 2, 2002. On December 12,
2002, plaintiffs filed a motion to amend the judgment and for leave to file an amended complaint
pursuant to Rules 59(e) and 15(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. On June 6, 2003, the
District Court denied plaintiffs motion to amend the judgment and for leave to file an amended
complaint. Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal on July 1, 2003. The appeal was heard by a panel of
three judges of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (the Ninth Circuit) on
February 17, 2005.
On November 8, 2005, the Ninth Circuit panel affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded for
further proceedings the decision of the District Court. The Ninth Circuit affirmed the District
Courts dismissal of the plaintiffs fraud claims under Sections 10(b), 14(a), and 20(a) of the
Exchange Act with prejudice, finding that the plaintiffs failed to adequately plead their
allegations of fraud. The Ninth Circuit reversed the District Courts dismissal of the plaintiffs
claims under Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act, however, finding that those claims did
not allege fraud and therefore were subject to only minimal pleading standards. Regarding the
secondary liability claim under Section 15 of the Securities Act, the Ninth Circuit reversed the
dismissal of that claim against Anthony J. Ley, Harmonics Chairman and former Chief Executive
Officer, and affirmed the dismissal of that claim against Harmonic, while granting leave to amend.
The Ninth Circuit remanded the surviving claims to the District Court for further proceedings.
On November 22, 2005, both the Harmonic defendants and the plaintiffs petitioned the Ninth Circuit
for a rehearing of the appeal. On February 16, 2006 the Ninth Circuit denied both petitions. On May
17, 2006 the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on the issues remanded for further proceedings
by the Ninth Circuit, to which the Harmonic defendants responded with a motion to dismiss certain
claims and to strike certain allegations. On December 11, 2006, the Court granted the motion to
dismiss with respect to the Section 12(a)(2) claim against the individual Harmonic defendants and
granted the motion to strike, but denied the motion to dismiss the Section 15 claim. A case
management conference was held on January 25, 2007, at which the Court set a trial date in August
2008, with discovery to close in February 2008. The Court also ordered the parties to attend a
settlement conference with a magistrate judge or a private mediation before June 30, 2007. A
mediation session was held on May 24, 2007 at which the parties were unable to reach a settlement.
A derivative action purporting to be on behalf of Harmonic was filed against its then-current
directors in the Superior Court for the County of Santa Clara on September 5, 2000. Harmonic also
was named as a nominal defendant. The complaint is based on allegations similar to those found in
the securities class action and claims that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by,
among other things, causing Harmonic to violate federal securities laws. The derivative action was
removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on September
20, 2000. All deadlines in this action were stayed pending resolution of the motions to dismiss the
securities class action. On July 29, 2003, the Court approved the parties stipulation to dismiss
this derivative action without prejudice and to toll the applicable limitations period pending the
Ninth Circuits decision in the securities action. Pursuant to the stipulation, defendants have
provided plaintiff with a copy of the mandate issued by the Ninth Circuit in the securities action.
A second derivative action purporting to be on behalf of Harmonic was filed in the Superior Court
for the County of Santa Clara on May 15, 2003. It alleges facts similar to those previously alleged
in the securities class action and the federal derivative action. The complaint names as defendants
former and current Harmonic officers and directors, along with former officers and directors of
C-Cube Microsystems, Inc., who were named in the securities class
45
action. The complaint also names Harmonic as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges claims for
abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets against the Harmonic
defendants, and claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and negligent
misrepresentation against all defendants. On July 22, 2003, the Court approved the parties
stipulation to stay the case pending resolution of the appeal in the securities class action.
Following the decision of the Ninth Circuit discussed above, on May 9, 2006, defendants filed
demurrers to this complaint. The plaintiffs then filed an amended complaint on July 10, 2006, which
names only the Harmonic defendants. The defendants filed demurrers to
the amended complaint and reply
briefs are due September 13, 2007. A case management conference and hearing are scheduled for
October 5, 2007.
Based on its review of the surviving claims in the securities class actions, Harmonic believes that
it has meritorious defenses and intends to defend itself vigorously. There can be no assurance,
however, that Harmonic will prevail.
In addition, in July 3, 2003, Stanford University and Litton Systems filed a complaint in U.S.
District Court for the Central District of California alleging that optical fiber amplifiers
incorporated into certain of Harmonics products infringe U.S. Patent No. 4859016. This patent
expired in September 2003. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, royalties and damages. At this time, we are unable to determine whether we will be able
to settle this litigation on reasonable terms or at all, nor can we predict the impact of an
adverse outcome of this litigation if we elect to defend against it.
No estimate can be made of the possible range of loss associated with the resolution of each of
these claims, and, accordingly, Harmonic has not recorded a liability. An unfavorable outcome of
any of these litigation matters could require that we pay substantial
damages, or, in connection with any intellectual property
infringement claims, could require that we pay ongoing royalty
payments or could prevent us from selling certain of our products. In
addition, we may decide to settle any litigation, which could cause
us to incur significant costs. An unfavorable outcome or settlement
of these litigation matters could have a material adverse effect on
our business, operating results, financial position or cash flows.
The Terrorist Attacks Of 2001 And The Ongoing Threat Of Terrorism Have Created Great Uncertainty
And May Continue To Harm Our Business.
Current conditions in the U.S. and global economies are uncertain. The terrorist attacks in the
U.S. in 2001 and subsequent terrorist attacks in other parts of the world have created many
economic and political uncertainties that have severely impacted the global economy, and have
adversely affected our business. For example, following the 2001 terrorist attacks in the U.S., we
experienced a further decline in demand for our products after the attacks. The long-term effects
of the attacks, the situation in Iraq and the ongoing war on terrorism on our business and on the
global economy remain unknown. Moreover, the potential for future terrorist attacks has created
additional uncertainty and makes it difficult to estimate the stability and strength of the U.S.
and other economies and the impact of economic conditions on our business.
We Rely On A Continuous Power Supply To Conduct Our Operations, And Any Electrical And Natural Gas
Crisis Could Disrupt Our Operations And Increase Our Expenses.
We rely on a continuous power supply for manufacturing and to conduct our business operations.
Interruptions in electrical power supplies in California in the early part of 2001 could recur in
the future. In addition, the cost of electricity and natural gas has risen significantly. Power
outages could disrupt our manufacturing and business operations and those of many of our suppliers,
and could cause us to fail to meet production schedules and commitments to customers and other
third parties. Any disruption to our operations or those of our suppliers could result in damage to
our current and prospective business relationships and could result in lost revenue and additional
expenses, thereby harming our business and operating results.
The Markets In Which We, Our Customers And Suppliers Operate Are Subject To The Risk Of Earthquakes
And Other Natural Disasters.
Our headquarters and the majority of our operations are located in California, which is prone to
earthquakes, and some of the other locations in which we, our customers and suppliers conduct
business are prone to natural disasters. In the event that any of our business centers are affected
by any such disasters, we may sustain damage to our operations and properties and suffer
significant financial losses. Furthermore, we rely on third party manufacturers for the production
of many of our products, and any disruption in the business or operations of such manufacturers
could adversely impact our business. In addition, if there is a major earthquake or other natural
disaster in any of the locations in which our significant customers are located, we face the risk
that our customers may incur losses, or
46
sustained business interruption and/or loss which may materially impair their ability to continue
their purchase of products from us. A major earthquake or other natural disaster in the markets in
which we, our customers or suppliers operate could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our Stock Price May Be Volatile.
The market price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly in the past, and is likely to
fluctuate in the future. In addition, the securities markets have experienced significant price and
volume fluctuations and the market prices of the securities of technology companies have been
especially volatile. Investors may be unable to resell their shares of our common stock at or above
their purchase price. In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price
of their stock have been the object of securities class action litigation.
Some Anti-Takeover Provisions Contained In Our Certificate Of Incorporation, Bylaws And Stockholder
Rights Plan, As Well As Provisions Of Delaware Law, Could Impair A Takeover Attempt.
Harmonic has provisions in its certificate of incorporation and bylaws, each of which could have
the effect of rendering more difficult or discouraging an acquisition deemed undesirable by the
Harmonic Board of Directors. These include provisions:
|
|
authorizing blank check preferred stock, which could be issued with voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights
superior to Harmonic common stock; |
|
|
|
limiting the liability of, and providing indemnification to, directors and officers; |
|
|
|
limiting the ability of Harmonic stockholders to call and bring business before special meetings; |
|
|
|
requiring advance notice of stockholder proposals for business to be conducted at meetings of Harmonic stockholders and
for nominations of candidates for election to the Harmonic Board of Directors; |
|
|
|
controlling the procedures for conduct and scheduling of Board and stockholder meetings; and |
|
|
|
providing the board of directors with the express power to postpone previously scheduled annual meetings and to cancel
previously scheduled special meetings. |
These provisions, alone or together, could delay hostile takeovers and changes in control or
management of Harmonic.
In addition, Harmonic has adopted a stockholder rights plan. The rights are not intended to prevent
a takeover of Harmonic, and we believe these rights will help Harmonics negotiations with any
potential acquirers. However, if the Board of Directors believes that a particular acquisition is
undesirable, the rights may have the effect of rendering more difficult or discouraging that
acquisition. The rights would cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to
acquire Harmonic on terms or in a manner not approved by the Harmonic Board of Directors, except
pursuant to an offer conditioned upon redemption of the rights.
As a Delaware corporation, Harmonic also is subject to provisions of Delaware law, including
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation law, which prevents some stockholders holding more
than 15% of our outstanding common stock from engaging in certain business combinations without
approval of the holders of substantially all of our outstanding common stock.
Any provision of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, our stockholder rights plan or
Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the
opportunity for Harmonic stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of Harmonic common
stock, and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for Harmonic common
stock.

Item 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On July 31, 2007, Harmonic completed the acquisition of Rhozet Corporation by a merger transaction.
In connection with the acquisition, Harmonic paid an aggregate consideration of approximately $15.5
million, which was comprised of (i) approximately $2.53 million in cash and approximately 1,099,790
shares of Harmonics common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock
of Rhozet, and (ii) approximately $2.76 million of cash to be paid, at such time as provided in the
definitive agreement related to such acquisition, to the holders of options to acquire Rhozets
common stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. In
connection with such sale of its common stock, Harmonic relied upon the exemption from registration
provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

(b) Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any
action on the part of Sub, the Company or the holders of shares of Company Capital Stock or Company
Options, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 1.6 and
throughout this Agreement, including the holdback provisions set forth in Article VII hereof, the
following shall occur:
(i) Company Common Stock. Each outstanding share of Company Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares) will be
cancelled and extinguished and will be converted automatically into the right to receive, upon
surrender of the
certificate representing such shares of Common Stock in the manner provided in Section 1.8
hereof, the Common Stock Consideration.
(ii) Aggregation of Parent Common Stock. For purposes of calculating the number of shares of
Parent Common Stock issuable and the amount of cash payable to each Shareholder pursuant to this
Section 1.6(b), all shares of the Company Common Stock held by each Shareholder shall be aggregated
on a certificate-by-certificate basis prior to such calculation. The aggregate number of shares of
Parent Common Stock issuable and the amount of cash payable to each Shareholder in respect of all
share certificates held by such Shareholder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of
shares of Parent Common Stock and nearest whole cent, respectively; provided, however, that the
maximum number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Merger shall not exceed
the Merger Shares and the maximum amount of cash payable pursuant to the Merger shall not exceed
the Merger Cash; and
-8-
(iii) Merger Consideration Available at Closing. Subject to the procedures set forth in
Section 1.8 and to the holdback provisions set forth in Section 1.6(b)(iv), at Closing each
Shareholder shall receive, for each share of Company Common Stock held by such Shareholder, the
Closing Merger Consideration.
(iv) Holdback Amount. At Closing, for each share of Company Common Stock held by a
Shareholder, Parent shall withhold the Holdback Amount, up to all of which (if any) may be issued
or paid at the Holdback Distribution Date (as defined below). Prior to the Holdback Distribution
Date, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable and the cash payable comprising the
Total Holdback Amount shall be subject to reduction as indemnity to compensate Indemnified Parties
(as defined below) for any and all Losses (as defined below) pursuant to Article VII hereof. The
portion of the Total Holdback Amount that Parent shall distribute to the Shareholders on the
Holdback Distribution Date shall be that number of shares of Parent Common Stock reserved at
Closing and cash, if any, comprising the Total Holdback Amount following all reductions for
aggregate Losses by Indemnified Parties pursuant to Article VII prior to the Holdback Distribution
Date.
(v) Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 1.6(b), any Dissenting Shares will be
treated as set forth in Section 1.7 hereof, any unexercised Company Options shall be treated as
provided for in Section 1.6(c) below and any Company Capital Stock held by the Company or any
direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company shall be treated as provided for in Section 1.6(e).
(c) Treatment of Company Options.
(i) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company Option then outstanding under the
Plan, shall by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be
cancelled, extinguished and converted automatically into the right to receive an amount in cash
from the Company equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) Option Cash by (y) the Total
Outstanding Options (the Option Consideration), which amount shall be payable by the Company no
earlier than January 1, 2008 and no later than January 8, 2008 (the Option Payment Date). As
soon as practicable (and in no event more than five (5) calendar days) after the Option Payment
Date, the Company shall pay to each holder of a Company Option the Option Consideration required to
be paid to any such holder pursuant to this Section 1.6(c). Disclosure Schedule 2.2(c) shall list
the name of each holder of Company Options as of the date hereof and, for each such Company Option
(i) the exercise price, (ii) whether such Company Option qualifies as an incentive stock option
under Section 422 of the Code, (iii) the date of grant, (iv) the vesting commencement date, (v) the
vesting schedule, and (vi) the expiration date; provided, however, that the
Company shall process such payments through its payroll system and deduct (x) all applicable
income and payroll taxes required to be withheld or deducted and (y) the employers portion of all
payroll taxes required to be paid by the Company in connection with such payments to holders of
Company Options.
(ii) At the Effective Time, each Company stock option that is not listed on Disclosure
Schedule 2.2(c) shall be cancelled and extinguished and shall not be entitled to receive any
consideration pursuant to this Agreement.
(d) Cancellation of Company Owned Stock. Each share of Company Capital Stock held by the
Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time
shall be cancelled and extinguished as of the Effective Time.
-9-
(e) Withholding Taxes. The Company, and on its behalf Parent and the Surviving Corporation,
shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable
pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld
therefrom under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign tax law or under any applicable
legal requirement. Any such amounts shall be withheld or deducted from the Merger Cash payable to
the Shareholder, provided that if such Merger Cash is insufficient to satisfy the full amount to be
withheld or deducted, the remainder shall be satisfied out of the Merger Shares issuable to the
Shareholder. The number of Merger Shares, if any, to be used to satisfy the remaining amount
required to be so deducted or withheld shall be determined by dividing such remaining amount by the
Closing Price, rounded to the nearest whole share (with 0.5 of a share rounded up). To the extent
such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this
Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.
(f) Shareholder Loans. In the event that any Shareholder has outstanding loans from the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time, the consideration payable to such
Shareholder pursuant to this Section 1.6 shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of the
outstanding principal plus accrued interest of such Shareholders loans as of the Effective Time.
Any such amounts shall be deducted from the Merger Cash payable to the Shareholder, provided that
if such Merger Cash is insufficient to satisfy the full amount of the outstanding principal plus
accrued interest, the remainder shall be satisfied out of the Merger Shares issuable to the
Shareholder. The number of Merger Shares, if any, to be used to satisfy the remaining amount of
the outstanding principal and interest shall be determined by dividing such remaining amount by the
Trading Price, rounded to the nearest whole share (with 0.5 of a share rounded up). Such loans
shall be satisfied as to the amount by which the consideration is reduced pursuant to this Section
1.6(f). To the extent the consideration payable to such Shareholder is so reduced, such amount
shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to such Shareholder.
(g) Capital Stock of Sub. Each share of capital stock of Sub issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each
stock certificate of Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall continue to evidence
ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.
(h) Shares Subject to Vesting. Each share of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange for
shares of Company Common Stock shall also be unvested and subject to the same repurchase option,
risk of forfeiture or other terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, as applicable, and the
agreements relating thereto, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any
requirement that any unvested shares be held in escrow), and the certificate representing such
shares of Parent Common Stock may accordingly be marked with appropriate legends in the discretion
of Parent.
(i) Aggregate Common Stock Consideration Amount Adjustment.
(i) Closing Reports. No later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the
Company shall deliver to Parent a statement of accounts receivable as of the Closing Date (the
Closing Accounts Receivable Statement) and a statement, prepared in good faith, of the estimated
amount of Assumed Liabilities (as defined below) of the Company as of the Closing Date (the
Closing Statement of Assumed Liabilities), which statements shall be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Parent. As used in this Section 1.6, Assumed Liabilities shall mean
the total liabilities of the Company as of the Closing Date, determined in accordance with GAAP
(other than the Option Cash, which is a liability of the
-10-
Company that will be assumed by Parent in
connection with the Merger, but shall not be referred to in this Section 1.6 as an Assumed
Liability), for the following types of liability, (i) accounts payable, (ii) accrued expenses,
(iii) payroll and benefits of Persons who will be employees of the Company as of the Closing, (iv)
$255,000 payable to persons who are holders of Company Options as of the date hereof in accordance
with the terms of the Companys accounts receivable plan (the A/R Plan), and (v) certain payables
identified and agreed by the parties, as well as any payroll or related Taxes.
(ii) Post-Closing Reports. Within fifty (50) calendar days following the Closing Date, Parent
shall furnish the Shareholder Representative with a report which shall set forth, in reasonable
detail, the amount of Assumed Liabilities of the Company as of the Closing Date (the Company
Assumed Liabilities Report). In making such determination, Parent shall prepare a balance sheet
of the Company as of the Closing Date and shall include such balance sheet as part of the Company
Assumed Liabilities Report. Furthermore, within fifty (50) calendar days following the Closing
Date, Parent shall furnish the Shareholder Representative with a report which shall set forth the
amounts collected by Parent or the Company since the Closing Date with respect to accounts that
were set forth on the Closing Accounts Receivable Statement (the Company Accounts Collected
Report).
(iii) Disputes.
(1) Subject to clause (2) of this Section 1.6(i)(iii), the Company Assumed Liabilities Report
and the Company Accounts Collected Report shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parent, the
Shareholder Representative and the Shareholders.
(2) The Shareholder Representative may dispute any amounts reflected on the Company Assumed
Liabilities Report (but not on the Company Accounts Collected Report), but only to the extent the
amount of Assumed Liabilities set forth therein exceeds the estimated amount of Assumed Liabilities
set forth in the Closing Statement of Assumed Liabilities and only on the basis that the amounts
reflected therein were not arrived at in accordance with GAAP or were arrived at based on
mathematical or clerical error; provided, however, that the Shareholder Representative shall have
notified the Parent in writing as to each disputed item, specifying the estimated amount thereof in
dispute and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such dispute, within ten (10)
Business Days of the Parents delivery of such Company Assumed Liabilities Report. In the event of
such a dispute, the Parent independent auditors (Parents
Accountants) and the Companys former accountants (which shall have been retained by the
Shareholder Representative) shall attempt to reconcile their differences, and any resolution by
them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties thereto. If
the Parents Accountants and the Companys former accountants are unable to reach a resolution to
such dispute within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of written notice of such dispute, the
dispute shall be submitted to an independent accounting firm of international reputation
(Independent Accounting Firm) mutually acceptable to Parent and Shareholder Representative, which
shall within twenty (20) Business Days after submission, determine and report to the Parent and
Shareholder Representative the resolution of such disputed items, and such report shall be final,
binding and conclusive on the Parent and the Shareholder Representative and the Shareholders.
(3) The Company Assumed Liabilities Report shall be deemed final for purposes of this Section
1.6(h) upon the earliest of (x) failure of the Shareholder Representative to notify Parent of a
dispute within ten (10) Business Days of Parents delivery of the Company Assumed Liabilities
Report, (y) the resolution of all disputes by the Parents Accountants and the Companys former
accountants, and (z) the resolution of all disputes by the Independent Accounting Firm. If the
difference between the amounts set forth on the Company Accounts Collected Report minus the amount
of Assumed Liabilities as set
-11-
forth in the Company Assumed Liabilities Report as deemed final by
the parties (the Final Assumed Liability Differential) is greater than zero (a positive amount),
then within five (5) Business Days of the Company Assumed Liabilities Report being deemed final,
Parent shall make payment of an amount equal to such difference to the Total Holdback Amount;
provided, however, that such amount shall not be used to compensate Indemnified Parties for any
Losses suffered and shall only be applied towards Shareholder Representative Expenses pursuant to
Section 7.5(b). If the Final Assumed Liability Differential is less than zero (a negative amount)
(such amount, the Final Assumed Liability Adjustment), such amount shall be paid from the Total
Holdback Amount in accordance with Section 7.4(d).
1.7 Dissenting Shares.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of
Company Capital Stock held by a holder who has demanded and perfected appraisal or dissenters
rights for such shares in accordance with California Law and who, as of the Effective Time, has not
effectively withdrawn or lost such holders dissenters rights (the Dissenting Shares) shall not
be converted into or represent a right to receive the applicable consideration set forth in Section
1.6 hereof, but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as are provided by
California Law.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.7(a) hereof, if any holder of Dissenting
Shares who is otherwise entitled to exercise dissenters rights under the California Law shall
effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holders dissenters
rights under California Law then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such
event, such holders shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to
receive the consideration for Company Capital Stock, as applicable, set forth in Section 1.6
hereof, without interest thereon, and subject to the provisions of Section 1.8 and Section 7.4
hereof, upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares. Any such holder of shares of
Company Capital Stock who shall effectively withdraw or lose such dissenters rights shall execute
and deliver to Parent the Shareholder Certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit C, as required under Section 7.2 hereof prior to such holders receipt of the applicable
consideration pursuant to Section 1.6 hereof.
(c) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demand for the exercise of
dissenters rights, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served to or received by
the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of California Law, and (ii) the opportunity to
participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall
not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any such
demands or offer to settle or settle any such demands. Any communication to be made by the Company
to any Shareholder with respect to such demands shall be submitted to Parent in advance and shall
not be presented to any Shareholder prior to the Company receiving Parents consent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Company
(i) makes any payment or payments in respect of any Dissenting Shares in excess of the
consideration that otherwise would have been payable in respect of such shares in accordance with
this Agreement or (ii) incurs any Losses (including attorneys and consultants fees, costs and
expenses and including any such fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with investigating,
defending against or settling any action or proceeding) in respect of any Dissenting Shares
(excluding payments for such shares) ((i) and (ii) together Dissenting Share Payments), Parent
shall be entitled to recover under the terms of Article VII hereof the amount of such Dissenting
Share Payments to the extent that such Dissenting Share Payments exceed the consideration that such
dissenting Shareholders would have received in the Merger had no Dissenting Share Payments been
made.
-12-
1.8 Surrender of Certificates.
(a) Exchange Agent. The Secretary of Parent, or a Person selected by Parent, shall serve as
the exchange agent (the Exchange Agent) for the Merger.
(b) Parent to Provide Parent Common Stock and Cash. As soon as reasonably practicable (but in
any event within five (5) Business Days) following the Closing Date, Parent shall make available to
the Exchange Agent for exchange in accordance with this Article I the Closing Merger Consideration,
comprising shares of Parent Common Stock issuable and cash payable pursuant to Section 1.6(b)(iii)
hereof in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. Parent shall reserve the Total
Holdback Amount pursuant to Section 1.6(b)(iv), comprising shares of Parent Common Stock issuable
and cash payable on Holdback Distribution Date, subject to reduction as required to satisfy the
indemnification obligations pursuant to Article VII.
(c) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within five (5)
Business Days) following the Closing Date, Parent or the Exchange Agent shall mail a letter of
transmittal in Parents standard form to each Shareholder at the address set forth opposite each
such persons name on the Spreadsheet. After receipt of such letter of transmittal and any other
customary documents that Parent or the Exchange Agent may reasonably require in order to effect the
exchange (the Exchange Documents), the Shareholders will surrender the certificates representing
their shares of Company Common Stock (the Company Certificates) to the Exchange Agent for
cancellation together with duly completed and validly executed Exchange Documents. Upon surrender
of a Company Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, or such other agent or agents as
may be appointed by Parent, together with such Exchange Documents, duly completed and validly
executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, subject to the terms of Section 1.8(e)
hereof, the holder of such Company Certificate shall be entitled to receive from the Exchange Agent
in exchange therefor, no later than thirty (30) days thereafter, a certificate representing the
number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock and the cash payment to which such holder is entitled
pursuant to Section 1.6 hereof (less such holders respective portion of the Total Holdback Amount
to be held
back pursuant to Section 1.8(b) hereof and Article VII hereof, if any), and the Company
Certificate so surrendered shall be cancelled. Until so surrendered, each Company Certificate
outstanding after the Effective Time will be deemed, for all corporate purposes thereafter, to
evidence only the right to receive the number of full shares of Parent Common Stock and cash into
which such shares of Company Common Stock shall have been so converted. No portion of the Total
Consideration will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Certificate with respect to
shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented thereby until the holder of record of such
Company Certificate shall surrender such Company Certificate and the Exchange Documents pursuant
hereto.
(d) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions
declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date
after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Certificate with
respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock represented thereby until the holder of record of such
Company Certificate shall surrender such Company Certificate. Subject to applicable law, following
surrender of any such Company Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the
certificates representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without
interest, at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a
record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent
Common Stock.
-13-
(e) Transfers of Ownership. If any certificate for shares of Parent Common Stock is to be
issued in a name other than that in which the Company Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor
is registered it will be a condition of the issuance or delivery thereof that the certificate so
surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person
requesting such exchange will have paid to Parent or any agent designated by it any transfer or
other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for shares of Parent Common Stock
in any name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or established
to the satisfaction of Parent or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not
payable.
(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.8, neither the
Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation, nor any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of
shares of Company Capital Stock for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable
abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
1.9 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock. The shares of Parent Common Stock
issued and cash paid in respect of the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Capital Stock in
accordance with the terms hereof, and the cash payable by the Company in respect of the
cancellation and extinguishment of the Company Options, shall be deemed to be full satisfaction of
all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock and Company Options, and there shall
be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of
Company Capital Stock or Company Options which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time. If, after the Effective Time, Company Certificates are presented to the Surviving
Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.
1.10 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Company Certificates with
respect to Company Common Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall
issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed
certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such amount,
if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 1.6 hereof; provided, however, that Parent may, in
its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the Shareholder who is
the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to either (i) deliver a bond in such
amount as it may direct or (ii) provide an indemnification agreement in form and substance
acceptable to Parent, against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Exchange Agent with
respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
1.11 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If at any time after the Effective Time, any
further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest
the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights,
privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, Parent and the Surviving Corporation and the
officers and directors of Parent and the Surviving Corporation are fully authorized in the name of
their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary
action.
1.12 Treatment as Reorganization. Parent and Company hereby adopt this Agreement as a plan of
reorganization within the meaning of Section 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States
Treasury Regulations and agree to report the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368(a) of the Code to the extent permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Parent makes no representations or warranties to the Company, the Company Shareholders
or to any other securityholder of the Company regarding the tax treatment of the Merger or any of
the tax consequences to the Company, the Company Shareholders or any other securityholder of the
Company relating to the Merger, this Agreement, or
-14-
any of the other transactions or agreements
contemplated hereby. The Company and the Company Shareholders acknowledge that they and the other

as set forth in Section 7.4(c), the Distribution Date)
-61-
shall result in a reduction in the Total
Holdback Amount in a manner as governed by the terms set forth herein.
(b) Satisfaction of Claims. Except to the extent that the Losses resulted from fraud or
intentional misrepresentation committed by the Company (in which case recovery of such Losses, at
the discretion of an Indemnified Party, may also be pursued directly against the Shareholders,
subject to Section 7.3) or as otherwise provided in Section 7.3(b), claims by an Indemnified Party
for Losses pursuant to this Agreement shall be satisfied first, from the Total Holdback Amount, and
once the Total Holdback Amount has been fully paid out or otherwise set aside for previous claims
and Shareholder Representative Expenses, second, from the Shareholders on a several and not joint
basis for their Pro Rata Portion of such Losses.
(c) Distribution at Holdback Distribution Date.
(i) Promptly following the date that is thirty (30) days after the Initial Survival Date (the
Holdback Distribution Date), one-hundred percent (100%) of the Total Holdback Amount, less any
amount in respect of any satisfied and unsatisfied claims specified in any Officers Certificate
(as defined below) (Unresolved Claims) delivered to the Shareholder Representative on or prior to
the Holdback Distribution Date with respect to facts and circumstances existing on or prior to the
Initial Survival Date (with respect to claims for Losses relating to representations and warranties
for which the survival terminates on the Initial Survival Date) or subsequent to the Initial
Survival Date but on or prior to the Holdback Distribution Date for all other claims, shall be
distributed to the Shareholders in accordance with clause (iii) of this Section 7.4(c).
(ii) In the event that (a) there exist Unresolved Claims following the expiration of the
Holdback Distribution Date that relate to one or more Officers Certificates alleging Losses
occurring before the Initial Survival Date, and (b) the amount of Losses incurred by the
Indemnified Parties is determined to be less than the amount claimed on all such Officers
Certificates under the objection and conflict procedures in Section 7.4(e) and Section 7.4(e), then
Parent shall promptly deliver to the Shareholders that portion of such Unresolved Claim(s) that
should have been distributed to the Shareholders at the Holdback Distribution Date had such
Officers Certificates alleged the correct amount of Losses finally determined pursuant to Section
7.4(e) and Section 7.4(e), which portion of the Total Holdback Amount shall be distributed to the
Shareholders in accordance with clause (iii) of this Section 7.4(c).

pursuant to this Section 7.4(c) shall be made in proportion to the Shareholders respective Pro
Rata Portions of the remaining portion of the Total Holdback Amount, with the Parent Common Stock
delivered to each Shareholder rounded down to the nearest share, and the cash amount delivered to
each Shareholder rounded to the nearest whole cent (with $0.005 rounded down).
(d) Procedures for Claims for Indemnification.

Amount unless and until Parent delivers an Officers Certificate to the Shareholder Representative
identifying Losses.
(ii) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, except as set forth in
clause (iii) of this Section 7.4(d), an Indemnified Party may not recover any Losses under
-62-
clause
(i) of Section 7.2(a) hereof unless and until one or more Officers Certificates identifying such
Losses under clause (i) of Section 7.2(a) in excess of $75,000 in the aggregate (the Basket
Amount) has or have been delivered to the Shareholder Representative as provided in Section 7.4(d)
hereof, in which case Parent shall be entitled to recover all Losses so identified.
(iii) Parent shall be entitled to recover for, and the Basket Amount shall not apply as a
threshold to, any and all claims or payments made with respect to all Losses (a) incurred pursuant
to clauses (ii) through (ix) of Section 7.2(a) hereof, (b) incurred as a result of any breach or
inaccuracy of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 2.2 (under the heading
Company Capital Structure), Section 2.4 (under the heading Authority), Section 2.11 hereof
(under the heading Tax Matters), Section 2.15 hereof (under the heading Intellectual Property),

officer of Parent: (1) stating that an Indemnified Party has paid, sustained, incurred, or properly
accrued, or reasonably anticipates that it will have to pay, sustain, incur, or accrue Losses, and
(2) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of Losses included in the amount so stated
(and the method of computation of each such item of Loss, if applicable), the date each such item
was paid, sustained, incurred, or properly accrued (in accordance with GAAP), or the basis for such
reasonably anticipated Loss(es), and (3) the basis for indemnification under Section 7.2 to which
such item of Loss is related (including, if applicable, the specific nature of the
misrepresentation, breach of warranty or covenant to which such item is related).
(v) If the Shareholder Representative does not object in writing within the twenty (20) day
period after delivery by the Parent of the Officers Certificate, such failure to so object shall
be an irrevocable acknowledgment by the Shareholder Representative and the Shareholders that the
Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the claim for Losses set forth in such
Officers Certificate.
(e) Objections to Claims. For a period of twenty (20) days after delivery of an Officers
Certificate pursuant to Section 7.4(d), Parent shall make no deduction for the Total Holdback
Amount pursuant to Section 7.4(d) hereof (other than Agreed-Upon Losses as described below) unless
Parent shall have received written authorization from the Shareholder Representative to make such
deduction. After the
expiration of such twenty (20) day period, Parent shall deduct from the Total Holdback Amount
an amount equal to the amount of Losses claimed in the Officers Certificate; provided that no such
payment may be made if the Shareholder Representative shall object in a written statement to the
claim made in the Officers Certificate (an Objection Notice), and such Objection Notice shall
have been delivered to the Parent prior to the expiration of such twenty (20) day period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shareholder Representative hereby waives the right to object to
any claims against the Total Holdback Amount in respect of any Agreed-Upon Loss. The Shareholder
Representative hereby authorizes Parent to pay from the Total Holdback Amount all such amounts
equal to the amount of Losses claimed in any Officers Certificate in respect of any Agreed-Upon
Loss upon receipt of such Officers Certificate without regard to the ten (10) day period set forth
in this Section 7.4(e).
-63-
(f) Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration.
(i) In case the Shareholder Representative delivers an Objection Notice in accordance with
Section 7.4(e) hereof (other than in connection with Agreed-Upon Losses as defined in Section
7.4(f)(v) hereof, for which the Shareholder Representative has waived the right to object), the
Shareholder Representative and Parent shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the
respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Shareholder Representative and
Parent should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by
both parties and, in the case of a claim against the Total Holdback Amount, shall be furnished to
Parent and the Shareholder Representative. The Parent shall be entitled to rely on any such
memorandum and make deductions from the Total Holdback Amount in accordance with the terms thereof.
(ii) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation and prior to thirty (30)
days after delivery of an Objection Notice, either Parent or the Shareholder Representative may
demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the Loss that is at issue is the subject of a
pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such
amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration, and in either such event the matter
shall be settled by arbitration conducted by one arbitrator mutually agreeable to Parent and the
Shareholder Representative. In the event that, within thirty (30) days after submission of any
dispute to arbitration, Parent and the Shareholder Representative cannot mutually agree on one
arbitrator, then, within fifteen (15) days after the end of such thirty (30) day period, Parent and
the Shareholder Representative shall each select one arbitrator. The two arbitrators so selected
shall select a third arbitrator. If the Shareholder Representative fails to select an arbitrator
during this fifteen (15) day period, then the parties agree that the arbitration will be conducted
by one arbitrator selected by Parent.
(iii) Any such arbitration shall be held in Santa Clara County, California, under the rules
then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator(s) shall determine how all
expenses relating to the arbitration shall be paid, including the respective expenses of each
party, the fees of each arbitrator and the administrative fee of the American Arbitration
Association. The arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be, shall set a limited time period
and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the
parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator or majority of the three
arbitrators, as the case may be, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about
the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrator, or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the
case may be, shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to
impose sanctions, including attorneys fees and costs, to the same extent as a competent court of
law or equity, should the arbitrators or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be,
determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused
or objected to without
substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator or a majority of the three
arbitrators, as the case may be, as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Officers
Certificate shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement and the
Shareholders. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact
and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the
arbitrator(s), and the Parent shall be entitled to rely on, and make deductions from the Total
Holdback Amount in accordance with, the terms of such award, judgment, decree or order as
applicable. Within 30 days of a decision of the arbitrator(s) requiring payment by one party to
another, such party shall make the payment to such other party, including any deduction from the
Total Holdback Amount, as applicable.
-64-
(iv) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction. Except as set forth in Section 7.4(f)(v) hereof, the forgoing arbitration provision
shall apply to any dispute among the Shareholders or any Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified
Parties under this Article VII hereof, whether relating to claims upon the Total Holdback Amount or
to the other indemnification obligations set forth in this Article VII (other than with respect to
claims for indemnification outside of the Total Holdback Amount pursued directly against any
Shareholder or any other Person as permitted by this Article VII).
(v) This Section 7.4(f) shall not apply to claims against the Total Holdback Amount made in
respect of (A) any Dissenting Share Payments to the extent that such Dissenting Share Payments
exceed the consideration that such dissenting Shareholders would have received in the Merger has no
Dissenting Share Payment been made, and (B) any Final Assumed Liability Adjustment (each of (A) and
(B), an Agreed-Upon Loss). Claims against the Total Holdback Amount made in respect of
any Agreed-Upon Loss shall be resolved in the manner described in Section 7.4(d) hereof.
(g) Third-Party Claims. In the event Parent becomes aware of a third party claim or other
circumstance (other than a claim or circumstance that is the subject of an Agreed-Upon Loss) (a
Third Party Claim) which Parent reasonably believes may result in a demand against the Total
Holdback Amount or for other indemnification pursuant to this Article VII, Parent shall notify the
Shareholder Representative of such claim or circumstance, and the Shareholder Representative shall
be entitled on behalf of the Shareholders, at their expense, to participate in, but not to
determine or conduct, the defense of such Third Party Claim. Parent shall have the right in its
sole discretion to conduct the defense of, and to settle, any such claim; provided, however, that
except with the consent of the Shareholder Representative, no settlement of any such Third Party
Claim with third party claimants shall be determinative of the amount of Losses relating to such
matter. In the event that the Shareholder Representative has consented to any such settlement, the
Shareholders shall have no power or authority to object under any provision of this Article VII to
the amount of any Third Party Claim by Parent against the Total Holdback Amount or the
Shareholders, with respect to such settlement. If there is a Third Party Claim that, if adversely
determined would give rise to a right of recovery for Losses hereunder, then any amounts incurred
or accrued by the Indemnified Parties in defense of such Third Party Claim, regardless of the
outcome of such claim, shall be deemed Losses hereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, this Section 7.4(g) shall not apply to any Third Party Claim that is the
subject of an Agreed-Upon Loss. Claims against the Total Holdback Amount made in respect of any
Agreed-Upon Loss shall be resolved in the manner described in Section 7.4(f)(v) above.
7.5 Shareholder Representative.
(a) By virtue of the approval of the Merger and this Agreement by the Shareholders, each of
the Shareholders shall be deemed to have agreed to appoint David Trescot as its agent and
attorney-in-fact, as the Shareholder Representative for and on behalf of the Shareholders to give
and receive notices and communications, to agree to the adjustment (if any) of the Aggregate Common
Stock Consideration Amount pursuant to the terms of Section 1.6(d) hereof, to authorize deductions
from the Total Holdback Amount in satisfaction of claims by any Indemnified Party, to object to the
foregoing adjustments or payments, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises
of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect
to such claims, to assert, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand
arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to, any other
claim by any Indemnified Party against any Shareholder or by any such Shareholder against any
Indemnified Party, any dispute between any Indemnified Party and any such Shareholder, any dispute
relating to the Company Assumed Liabilities Report, in each case relating to this
-65-
Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby, and to take all other actions that are either (i) necessary or
appropriate in the judgment of the Shareholder Representative for the accomplishment of the
foregoing or (ii) specifically mandated by the terms of this Agreement. Such agency may be changed
by the Shareholders from time to time upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to
Parent; provided, however, that the Shareholder Representative may not be removed unless holders of
a two-thirds interest of the Total Holdback Amount agree to such removal and to the identity of the
substituted agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a vacancy in the position of Shareholder
Representative may be filled by the holders of a majority in interest of the Total Holdback Amount.
No bond shall be required of the Shareholder Representative, and the Shareholder Representative
shall not receive any compensation for its services. Notices or communications to or from the
Shareholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from the Shareholders.
(b) The Shareholder Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder
as Shareholder Representative while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable
judgment. The Shareholders shall indemnify the Shareholder Representative and hold the Shareholder
Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or
bad faith on the part of the Shareholder Representative and arising out of or in connection with
the acceptance or administration of the Shareholder Representatives duties hereunder, including
the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Shareholder Representative
(Shareholder Representative Expenses). Following the Holdback Distribution Date, the resolution
of all Unresolved Claims and the satisfaction of all claims made by Indemnified Parties for Losses,
the Shareholder Representative shall have the right to recover Shareholder Representative Expenses
from the Total Holdback Amount prior to any distribution to the Shareholders, and prior to any such
distribution, shall deliver to Parent a certificate setting forth the Shareholder Representative
Expenses actually incurred and amount in cash to be distributed as satisfaction of such expenses.
A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholder Representative, including an amendment,
extension or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.3 and Section 8.5 hereof, shall
constitute a decision of the Shareholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the
Shareholders; and Parent may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the
Shareholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholders.
The Parent are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any acts done by them in
accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholder Representative.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Shareholder Representative
shall have no authority to act on behalf of any Shareholder in connection with any claim by an
Indemnified Party seeking recovery for any Losses outside of the Total Holdback Amount.
ARTICLE VIII
TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER
8.1 Termination. Subject to Section 8.2 hereof, this Agreement may be terminated and the
Merger abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:
(a) by mutual agreement of the Company and Parent;
(b) by Parent or the Company if the Closing Date shall not have occurred by forty-five (45)
days following the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that the right to terminate this
Agreement under this Section 8.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to
act has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Merger to occur on or before
such date and such action or failure to
-66-
act constitutes breach of this Agreement; provided,
further, that if the failure to consummate the Merger by the Termination Date is wholly or in part
caused by a delay in (i) any consents, waivers, approvals, orders, authorizations, registrations,
declarations and filings as may be required under foreign merger control regulations, or (ii) any
consents, notices, waivers, approvals, orders, authorizations, registrations, declarations and
filings, and applicable waiting periods, as may be required under applicable blue sky laws, the
Termination Date shall be automatically extended, without any action on the part of the parties, on
a day-for-day basis by the amount of time necessary to satisfy (i) through (v), as applicable,
which extension shall in no event exceed sixty (60) days;
(c) by Parent if any Governmental Entity shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or
entered any statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, injunction, order or other legal
restraint which is in effect and which has the effect of making the Merger illegal;
(d) by Parent if there shall be any action taken, or any statute, rule, regulation or order
enacted, promulgated or issued or deemed applicable to the Merger by any Governmental Entity, which
would constitute an Action of Divestiture;
(e) by Parent if it is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement and
there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company
contained in this Agreement such that the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a) hereof would not
be satisfied and such breach has not been cured within ten (10) calendar days after written notice
thereof to the Company; provided, however, that no cure period shall be required for a breach which
by its nature cannot be cured; or
(f) by the Company if none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is in material breach of
their respective obligations under this Agreement and there has been a breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Parent contained in this Agreement such that the
conditions set forth in Section 6.3(a) hereof would not be satisfied and such breach has not been
cured within ten (10) calendar days after written notice thereof to Parent; provided, however, that
no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured.
8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1 hereof, this
Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of
Parent, the Company, or its respective officers, directors or Shareholders, if applicable;
provided, however, that each party hereto and each Person shall remain liable for any breaches of
this Agreement or in any certificate or other instruments delivered pursuant to this Agreement
prior to its termination; and provided further, however, that the provisions of Sections 5.2, 5.3,
5.15, 7.3(c) and 8.3 hereof, Article IX hereof and this Section 8.2 shall remain in full force and
effect and survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Article VIII.
8.3 Fees and Expenses. Except as set forth in this Section 8.3, all fees and expenses
incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid
by the party incurring such expenses whether or not the Merger is consummated; provided, however,
that Parent and the Company shall share equally the filing fee for the Notification and Report
Forms filed with the FTC and DOJ under the HSR Act, and all premerger notification and reports
forms under similar applicable laws of other jurisdictions.
8.4 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time by execution
of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the party against whom enforcement is sought. For
-67-
purposes of this Section 8.4, the Shareholders agree that any amendment of this Agreement signed by
the Shareholder Representative shall be binding upon and effective against the Shareholders whether
or not they have signed such amendment.
8.5 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, Parent, on the one hand, and the
Company and the Shareholder Representative, on the other hand, may, to the extent legally allowed,
(i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of the other party hereto, (ii)
waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or
in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (iii) waive compliance with any of the covenants,
agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any agreement on the part
of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument
in writing signed on behalf of such party. For purposes of this Section 8.5, the Shareholders
agree that any extension or waiver signed by the Shareholder Representative shall be binding upon
and effective against all Shareholders whether or not they have signed such extension or waiver.

9.2 Interpretation. The words include, includes and including when used herein shall be
deemed in each case to be followed by the words without limitation. The table of contents and
headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any
way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
9.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which
shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more
counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being
understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.
9.4 Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement, the Exhibits hereto, the Disclosure
Schedule, the Nondisclosure Agreement, and the documents and instruments and other agreements among
the parties hereto referenced herein: (i) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings both
written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; (ii) are not
intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder; and (iii) shall not be
assigned by operation of law or otherwise, except that Parent may assign its rights and delegate
its obligations hereunder to its affiliates as long as Parent remains ultimately liable for all of
Parents obligations hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the Term Sheet shall be deemed
terminated as of the date hereof, and all provisions thereof, including any provisions thereof
which by their terms state that they shall survive the termination of the Term Sheet, shall be of

9.5 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application
thereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the
application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as
reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such
void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will
achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or
unenforceable provision.
9.6 Other Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, any and all remedies
herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any
other remedy
-69-
conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of
any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.
9.7 Governing Law; Exclusive Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of California, regardless of the laws that might otherwise
govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof. Subject to Section 7.4(f) hereof,

court within Santa Clara County, State of California, in connection with any matter based upon or
arising out of this Agreement or the matters contemplated herein, agrees that process may be served
upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of the State of California for such persons and
waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such
jurisdiction, venue and such process. Subject to Section 7.4(f) hereof, each party agrees not to
commence any legal proceedings related hereto except in such courts.
9.8 Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by
counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the
application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in
an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or
document.
9.9 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY AND ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR
OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN
NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.
