Item I. Business.

Introduction and Company History

Emulex Corporation is a leading designer, developer and supplier of a broad line of storage networking host bus adapters, or HBAs, and application specific computer chips, or ASICs, that provide connectivity solutions for storage area networks, or SANs, network attached storage, or NAS, and redundant array of independent disks, or RAID, storage. HBAs are the data communication products that enable servers to connect to storage networks by offloading communication-processing tasks as information is delivered and sent to the network. Our products are based on internally developed ASIC and embedded firmware and software technology, and offer support for a wide variety of SAN protocols, configurations, system interfaces and operating systems. Emulex’s architecture offers customers a stable applications program interface, or API, that has been preserved across multiple generations of adapters and to which many of the world’s leading Original Equipment Manufacturers, or OEMs, have customized software for mission-critical server and storage system applications.

Emulex Corporation’s corporate headquarters are located at 3535 Harbor Blvd., Costa Mesa, California 92626, and our telephone number is (714) 662-5600. Our Internet address is www.emulex.com. Our periodic and current reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 are available free of charge through our website as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports are electronically filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Emulex was organized as a California corporation in 1979. In 1987, Emulex changed its state of incorporation from California to Delaware by the formation of a Delaware corporation, which acquired all of the stock of the California corporation. The California corporation continues to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Delaware corporation. In 1999 and 2002, Emulex completed a secondary offering of our common stock and completed a private placement of convertible subordinated notes, respectively. See note 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a more complete discussion of the convertible subordinated notes.

In 1998, we began outsourcing the manufacturing of our product lines to an electronics manufacturing service, or EMS, provider. This outsourcing resulted in, among other things, the closing of our manufacturing facility and the consolidating of our operations. See Item 1 — Manufacturers and Suppliers for a more complete discussion of the consolidation.

Substantially all of our revenues during 2003 were comprised of products based on Fibre Channel technology. Our Fibre Channel development efforts began in 1992 and we shipped our first Fibre Channel product in volume in 1996. According to IDC and Gartner Dataquest, in calendar 2002 we were the world’s largest provider of Fibre Channel host bus adapters, in terms of revenue, ports and units shipped. In March 2001, we acquired Giganet, Inc., a privately-held developer of storage networking products based on Ethernet and Internet Protocol, or IP, technologies. Our strategy with this acquisition was to leverage Giganet’s technology and extend our market-leading HBA APIs into Internet Small Computer Systems Interface, or iSCSI, and Virtual Interface, or VI, based storage networking market sectors. Emulex has secured significant customer relationships with the world’s leading storage and server suppliers, including Dell, EMC, Fujitsu-Siemens, Groupe Bull, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi Data Systems, IBM, NEC, Network Appliance and Unisys. In addition, we include industry leaders Brocade, Computer Associates, Intel, Legato, McDATA, Microsoft and Veritas among our strategic partners.

Industry Background

In recent years, the volume of stored electronic data in enterprises has expanded significantly, due largely to the growth of data-intensive applications such as online transaction processing, data mining, data warehousing, multimedia and Internet applications. As a result, both the capacity and number of storage devices in enterprises have increased. Furthermore, with the increased use of, and reliance on, mission-critical applications such as e-commerce and distributed enterprise software applications, the real-time availability of electronic data has become more important to the daily operations of enterprises. As a result, enterprises face heightened requirements for data storage solutions that enable improved access to, and management of, shared data, including solutions that offer increased connectivity capabilities, higher performance and greater reliability.

Table of Contents

Enterprises currently access, share and manage the rapidly expanding volume of data utilizing two major data communications technologies: local area network, or LAN, and input/output, or I/O. LAN technologies enable communications among servers and client computers, while I/O technologies enable communications between host computers and their attached high-speed peripherals. The emergence of LAN architectures in the mid-1980s brought multiple benefits to client-server data communications, including faster transmission speeds, shared access to multiple servers and greater connectivity capabilities in terms of the number of connected devices, as well as distance between devices. These benefits, and the applications that leverage LAN technologies, drove the rapid adoption of LAN architectures in the corporate enterprise during the 1990’s. As a result, the data communications pathway between servers and client computers became largely networked with LAN technologies.

Although LAN architectures proliferated in client-server applications, until recently, I/O pathways between servers and attached peripherals, notably storage subsystems, failed to evolve to networking architectures. Instead, traditional I/O architectures are server-centric, utilizing a point-to-multipoint architecture, which requires that each storage subsystem in the corporate enterprise be attached to a single server through which all requested data must pass. With this traditional server-centric storage architecture, also known as Direct Attached Storage, or DAS, dedicated storage is attached to each server using I/O technologies such as Small Computer Systems Interface, or SCSI. Remote storage systems are accessed through LAN-attached file servers. Because data requests must traverse the LAN and pass through the file server associated with the specific storage device, the DAS model results in “islands of storage” behind each server. This circuitous method of accessing data degrades network performance, increases latency, or delays, for network users, drains server processing power and is difficult to scale, particularly from a storage management perspective. With the dramatic increase in information storage and retrieval requirements, system performance has become increasingly constrained by the DAS architecture and its inability to overcome communication bottlenecks and management challenges.

The Emergence of Networked Storage

In the late 1990s, in response to the increasing need for storage scalability, manageability and reliability, enterprises began to deploy SANs. In this new model, where the SAN exists as a complementary network to the LAN, I/O-intensive traffic is offloaded from the LAN, enabling a more fail-safe I/O channel, eliminating the bottlenecks that degrade I/O performance and creating a platform for centralized storage management. Furthermore, like nodes on a LAN, attached storage peripherals in a SAN can be managed and diagnosed to detect errors, and traffic can be rerouted accordingly in the event of a failure. A SAN essentially transforms dedicated servers and storage devices into network resources, greatly improving the performance and scalability of enterprise storage. By providing shared server access, the cost of expensive enterprise storage can be spread across entire organizations. SANs are being deployed to support an increasingly wide range of applications such as LAN-free and serverless back-up, storage virtualization and disaster recovery.

More recently, NAS appliances have gained acceptance in the storage marketplace. As a general rule, data is stored in block format in storage devices, but must be converted to files before being used by operating systems and applications. While SANs deliver block data to servers, NAS appliances internally convert block data to files before delivering these files over a LAN to servers or PCs. Although this configuration requires stored data to move first to the NAS server before moving on to its ultimate destination, the NAS architecture offers an easily deployable and scalable storage solution. In high-end environments characterized by NAS file delivery to servers, a SAN may be deployed behind a NAS, making NAS and SAN solutions complementary. Furthermore, next-generation appliances that can deliver both block and file data are beginning to emerge, further blurring the distinction between NAS and SAN solutions.

The majority of SAN and NAS solutions installed today are delivered to end users via integrated systems solutions offered by storage and computer system OEMs. As networked storage gains market acceptance and SAN and NAS installations interconnect increasingly diverse servers and storage subsystems, OEMs are increasingly demanding storage networking products that are optimized for heterogeneous connectivity, scalability, performance, customization and lowest total cost of ownership. Gartner Dataquest expects that an increasing percentage of storage systems revenue will consist of fabric-attached storage, or NAS and SAN solutions.

Fibre Channel

In order to implement storage area networks, a new I/O networking technology capable of interconnecting multiple host servers and storage devices was required. Fibre Channel, an American National Standards Institute, or ANSI, standard communications technology, was introduced in 1994 to address traditional I/O limitations and emerged as the first storage networking technology to be widely adopted by the world’s leading server and storage systems manufacturers. Fibre Channel, now available in both one and two gigabit per second solutions, offers the connectivity, distance and access benefits of networking architectures combined with the high performance and low latency needed for I/O applications.

Table of Contents

Fibre Channel’s advanced capabilities enabled new architectures such as SANs that rely upon Fibre Channel’s ability to connect multiple host computers to multiple storage systems, or storage arrays. Additionally, in order to enable longer distance or higher performance connectivity than what could be provided by SCSI, Fibre Channel has also been deployed in traditional DAS applications such as RAID storage. In such implementations, RAID storage provides for fault-tolerant direct-attached storage through the duplication of data over multiple interconnected disk drives. As a result, Fibre Channel solutions are implemented in both legacy DAS and emerging networked storage environments. According to Gartner Dataquest, the market for Fibre Channel host bus adapters is expected to expand from approximately $570 million in calendar 2002 to $1.4 billion in calendar 2007.

iSCSI

Although Gartner Dataquest expects that Fibre Channel will remain the dominant storage networking interconnect through the 2007 time frame, a new storage networking standard known as iSCSI has emerged that delivers the SCSI storage protocol over the familiar IP, or Internet Protocol, and Ethernet transports commonly deployed in LANs and WANs. The range of iSCSI connectivity solutions spans simple Network Interface Cards, or NICs, that are commonly used for Ethernet LAN applications, up to high performance iSCSI HBAs that offer full protocol processing offload from the host computer. While this technology is expected to remain in the early stages of development and deployment for the next several years, iSCSI may find acceptance in smaller organizations or in selected storage applications such as those requiring long-distance communication transports. Gartner Dataquest forecasts that the market for iSCSI HBAs will expand to approximately $230 million in 2007.

VI and RDMA

VI is a standardized interface designed for high performance, low latency communications that can be layered over a variety of networking transports. One of VI’s key characteristics is its ability to enable remote direct memory access, or RDMA, facilitating higher speed, lower latency communications between adapters and applications residing on servers. RDMA technology reduces data copy operations and latencies by allowing one computer to directly place information in another computer’s memory with minimal demands on memory bus bandwidth and CPU processing overhead, while preserving memory protection semantics. To date, VI’s primary application has been in very high performance clustering environments served by proprietary transports. Our current VI product has entered end-of-life status.

More recently, a proposed new VI-like interface named RDMA over Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, has emerged, sponsored by the RDMA Consortium. This new specification could result in a potentially more broadly endorsed standard that offers some of the benefits of VI for file transfer and other applications.

Disk Interface Technologies and the Transition to Serial Storage I/O

Traditionally, the hard disk drive industry has primarily utilized parallel I/O interconnects such as SCSI and ATA for the drive I/O interface. Parallel I/O technologies utilize multiple wires, as they require separate channels for control information and actual data, whereas serial I/O technologies, such as Fibre Channel, utilize a single wire over which all control and user data passes. Because of the reduced complexity and higher reliability of serial interfaces, the disk drive industry has begun a transition from parallel to serial I/O. According to Gartner Dataquest, as legacy parallel technologies such as SCSI fade, disk drives utilizing serial I/O are projected to quickly grow from just 13 percent of the multi-user disk storage market in 2002 to a 98 percent share by 2007. The chief serial I/O technologies expected to dominate HDD shipments in the future are Fibre Channel; Serial ATA, or SATA; and Serial Attached SCSI, or SAS, while legacy parallel technologies such as SCSI and ATA are expected to play a diminishing role.

The storage systems, or arrays, that are deployed in external multi-user storage applications such as SANs typically require multiple embedded I/O ASICs to provide an external storage I/O interface and to internally interconnect disks inside the storage array to a controller that provides the array’s intelligence. Because the disks inside of the storage array may utilize a different I/O technology than the external I/O connection, multiple I/O technologies may be required to fully serve storage array requirements. In the past, many storage arrays installed in a Fibre Channel SAN utilized legacy SCSI disks and I/O protocol chips internally, but connected externally to the SAN via an embedded Fibre Channel ASIC. In recent quarters, some SAN-attached storage arrays began to transition from parallel SCSI to serial I/O-based internal architectures. This has created a growing embedded market opportunity for multiprotocol serial I/O ASICs that can serve the full spectrum of emerging serial I/O requirements.

Our Products

We are a leading designer, developer and supplier of Fibre Channel host bus adapters, ASICs and embedded firmware and software products that enhance access to, and storage of, electronic data and applications. According to IDC and Gartner Dataquest, in calendar 2002 we were the world’s largest provider of Fibre Channel HBAs, in terms of revenue, ports and units shipped. In 2002, after our acquisition of Giganet, we entered the development-stage market for iSCSI HBAs and VI/IP HBAs. We are also a supplier of Fibre Channel hubs, which contribute immaterial revenue, as well as some traditional networking products and cLAN adapters, which have both entered end-of-life status in previous years.

Fibre Channel HBAs

Our HBAs constitute key components for comprehensive Fibre Channel SANs that typically include host adapters, hubs, ASICs, firmware, software and switches. We time our Fibre Channel introductions to address the growing demands of enterprise customers, as well as the evolving speed and capacity capabilities of complementary products.

Leveraging our expertise and experience in networking and I/O technology, we have approached the storage problem with a networking perspective to maximize the performance and management capabilities of our Fibre Channel solutions. We believe the performance results of our HBA products are among the highest in the industry, sustaining speeds in excess of 780 MB/sec and 135,000 I/O transactions per second from a single chip HBA solution. Furthermore, our products support high-performance connectivity features such as concurrent multiprotocol data transmission, context cache for superior performance in complex environments, end-to-end parity protection and other features to enhance data integrity. Lastly, our products offer investment protection for our OEM customers, who often develop specialized software to interface to our adapters, because we have maintained a stable API since our first generation of HBAs was introduced in 1996. More recently, we have expanded our software functionally embedded in our HBAs to deliver high availability and remote centralized management functionality that may be embedded in OEM and independent software vendor, or ISV, SAN management products.

Fibre Channel HBAs connect host computers to a Fibre Channel network. Our adapters support a wide range of operating systems and host computer system interfaces, including both PCI-based Intel platforms and SBus-based Sun Microsystems platforms. Our Fibre Channel host bus adapter line, which has evolved from the LP6000 to the LP10000 in the high end, also encompasses adapters such as the LP850, LP952, LP982 and LP1050, which are targeted at midrange, open system environments. Our high-end HBAs target enterprise systems that require customized software or special features, while our midrange HBAs offer highly featured solutions for standard operating environments. All of our adapter products share the same core ASIC architecture and embedded software and firmware.

Our high-end adapters have always been designed to support a broad implementation of the Fibre Channel specification, encompassing multiple classes of service and all topologies, including full fabric support. Our high end family of adapters support SBus, PCI and PCI-X system interfaces operating at up to 133MHz, single and dual-channel form factors, the Compact PCI form factor, the Low Profile form factor and auto-negotiated one and two gigabit per second transmission speeds. In addition, our enterprise applications strategy has led us to offer a variety of other features in our high-end adapters, including additional context cache to enable high-speed throughput in complex fabric installations, and support for the FICON protocol, a standard for IBM mainframe storage over Fibre Channel SANs. Our high-end HBAs also provide the widest range of physical interface options available, including copper, short-wave optical and long-wave optical, as well as added buffer memory to enable connectivity distances up to 100 kilometers. A broad range of operating systems, including HP-UX, Linux, Netware, Solaris and Windows, are supported as well. Our service level interface, or SLI, which is included with our high-end adapters, is an API that allows our OEM customers to develop highly differentiated products, while maintaining complete software compatibility across product generations, enabling customers to leverage software investments.

Our product line also includes mid-range adapters that support a standard open systems environment based on Windows, Linux or NetWare. These open systems host adapters include our LP850, LP952, LP982 and LP1050. Based on the same ASIC architecture as our high-end adapters, our mid range adapters provide similar throughput, and I/Os per second and many of the same features as our high-end enterprise adapters but offer a cost-optimized, standardized solution for the open systems market. We offer the LP850, LP952, LP982 and LP1050 with fully certified drivers for Windows, Linux and NetWare, as well as basic input/output system, or BIOS, and configuration utilities.

Fibre Channel ASICs

Emulex HBAs are based upon our internally-developed Fibre Channel I/O ASICs. These ASICs can be utilized not only in HBAs, but in embedded I/O environments as well, such as storage arrays and storage appliances. In addition, these ASICs may also be embedded on computer motherboards where requirements for Fibre Channel connectivity are well defined, including bladed configurations such as blade servers.

While our embedded ASIC revenue remains relatively small, a growing percentage of our total ASIC unit volume is comprised of ASICs that are sold into embedded environments, which deliver incremental economies of scale for our overall business.

The Intel Joint Development Agreement

In April 2003, Emulex and Intel Corporation announced an agreement to develop next-generation storage processors that combine SATA, SAS and Fibre Channel I/O technologies within a single multiprotocol architecture. These new serial storage processors are intended to enable OEMs to utilize common hardware and software components across their entire family of SATA, SAS and Fibre Channel storage products, extending the value of OEM hardware and software investments. Under the agreement, Emulex is developing the protocol controller hardware, firmware and drivers. Intel is contributing its expertise in storage processor technology development and will integrate its high-performance Intel® XScale™ microarchitecture as the core technology for the new processors. Intel also will manufacture the processors utilizing its 90-nanometer (nm) process technology. Emulex will market the resulting Fibre Channel products, and Intel will market the SATA and SAS products. We expect this multiprotocol serial storage architecture to be applicable to our traditional HBA market as well as new embedded markets, including blade server, storage array and storage appliance applications.

iSCSI HBAs

Our GN9000/SI adapter is a one gigabit per second prototype iSCSI HBA that became available in limited quantities for OEM evaluation during 2002. In order to ease the migration between Fibre Channel and iSCSI technologies, the GN9000/SI has been designed to leverage the Emulex SLI API utilized by OEM customers that have developed customized software for our Fibre Channel host bus adapters.

Other Products

Our Fibre Channel hubs provide centralized wiring connection, improved network reliability and a monitoring point in Fibre Channel arbitrated loop environments. In 1996, we became the first company to provide Fibre Channel hubs to the market when we introduced our hub product line. In December 1998, we introduced a line of digital Fibre Channel hubs that complemented our earlier line of analog Fibre Channel hubs. With the growing popularity of Fibre Channel switches, we have focused our Fibre channel efforts in the HBA sector. Total hub revenue was immaterial in 2003.

As part of the traditional VI product family acquired with the Giganet operation, Emulex offered the cLAN family of VI-enabled adapters and switches. These products entered end-of-life status in 2002 and contributed immaterial revenue in 2003. Our GN9000/VI HBA is a VI enabled intelligent Ethernet adapter that has entered end-of-life status.

Our traditional networking products included printer servers and network access products. We supplied both external and embedded printer servers, which provide LAN connectivity for printers. Our network access products were comprised of a variety of products that provided connectivity between computing resources across both LANs and WANs. These networking products contain a set of core technologies that includes drivers supporting a broad array of operating systems and network interface technologies that span many LAN and WAN specifications. We have eliminated resources dedicated to these traditional networking products, and during the fourth quarter of 2000 we issued last time buy notifications to customers for our traditional networking products.

Intellectual Property

Our ability to compete depends in part upon our ability to protect our proprietary information through various means, including ownership of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets, as well as through contractual provisions.

We have a number of issued patents and pending patent applications in the U.S and abroad. Most of our issued patents and pending patent applications relate to our Fibre Channel technology or products. We maintain an active program of obtaining patent protection for our inventions as development occurs and as new products are introduced. Because of the

5


Table of Contents

rate of change of technology in our industry, we believe that the duration of the patent protection available to us for our products is adequate to cover the expected market duration for such products.

All of our software products, which are embedded within or provided for use with our hardware products, are marked with copyright notices listing our company as the copyright owner. We have been granted a number of registrations of trademarks in the U.S. and abroad. We also have a number of pending trademark registrations in the U.S. and abroad. We maintain an active practice of marking our products with trademark notices. We have an active program of renewing trademarks so that the duration of trademark protection is maintained for as long as needed. Additionally, we rely on trade secret law and contractual provisions to protect unique intellectual property we possess which we have determined unnecessary or uneconomical to patent or copyright, or which is not otherwise capable of more formal protection. Please also see the information under Part I - Item 1 - “Competition” and Part I - Item 3 - “Legal Proceedings” of this Form 10-K.

Engineering and Development

At June 29, 2003, we employed 243 engineers, other technicians and support personnel engaged in the development of new products and the improvement of existing products. Engineering and development expenses were $61.3 million, $47.6 million and $27.0 million in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Selling and Marketing

We sell our products worldwide to OEMs; end users; and through other distribution channels including value-added resellers, or VARs, systems integrators, industrial distributors and resellers. Because the Fibre Channel market has been dominated by OEMs, our focus is to use Fibre Channel sales specialists to expand opportunities with our existing OEMs, as well as to develop new OEM relationships. However, we are also expanding our distribution efforts, leveraging worldwide distribution channels through technical distributors such as VARs and systems integrators, to complement our core OEM relationships. In some cases, OEM partners leverage the distribution channel to deliver solutions to end-users, making our distribution efforts complementary with our OEM-focused strategy.

Order Backlog

Due to an industry practice that allows customers to cancel or change orders with limited advance notice prior to shipment, we do not believe that backlog is a reliable indicator of future revenue levels. Furthermore, purchase order release lead times depend upon the scheduling practices of the individual customer, and the rate of booking new orders fluctuates from month to month. Therefore, the level of backlog at any one time is not necessarily indicative of trends in our business. At June 29, 2003, we had unshipped product orders of approximately $77.6 million compared with approximately $76.8 million at June 30, 2002. At year-end, all orders included in backlog were scheduled for delivery within six months or less.

Seasonality

Our business fluctuates based on economic conditions and industry demand and we do not believe that seasonality is a significant factor in our business.

Concentration of Customers, Revenue by Product Families and Geographic Area

See Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV, Item 14(a) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding concentration of our customers as well as information regarding our revenue by product family and geographic area. See also “Risk Factors” contained elsewhere within Part I, Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for discussion of the risks associated with the concentration of our customers, as well as the risks associated with our revenue by product family and geographic area.

Competition

The market for HBAs is intensely competitive and is characterized by frequent new product introductions, changing customer preferences and evolving technology and industry standards.

Our competition for Fibre Channel host bus adapter products consists primarily of Agilent, JNI and QLogic. We may also compete indirectly with Fibre Channel HBAs made internally by major systems providers, notably Hewlett-Packard. In the emerging iSCSI marketplace where standards have yet to be finalized, we expect to face competition from established Fibre Channel competitors as well as new entrants, which may include established Ethernet suppliers such as Intel and established

6


Table of Contents

SCSI vendors such as Adaptec. Across all storage networking technologies, we face the threat of potential competition from new entrants into the storage networking market, including large technology companies that may develop or acquire differentiating technology and then apply their resources, including established distribution channels and brand recognition, to obtain significant market share.

We believe that the principal basis of storage networking HBA competition presently includes interoperability, reliability, scalability, price, performance, technical support and API stability. We believe that we compete favorably with respect to these factors. We also believe that we have a competitive strength in the alliances we have built with customers, particularly our close relationships with OEM customers. We believe that our experience with distribution channels will provide competitive benefits as the storage networking market matures. Some of our other competitive advantages include our early entry into Fibre Channel technology, our workforce of highly experienced researchers and designers, our intellectual property and our technical alliances with strategic partners such as Brocade, Cisco, Computer Associates, Intel, Legato, McDATA, Microsoft and Veritas.

Our Fibre Channel products may also compete at the end-user level with other technology alternatives, such as SCSI, which are available from companies such as Adaptec, LSI Logic and QLogic, as well as a number of smaller companies. In the future, other technologies that we are not currently developing may evolve to address the applications served by Fibre Channel today.

Manufacturing and Suppliers

Our products consist primarily of electronic component parts assembled on internally designed printed circuit boards that are sold as board-level products. Most component parts can be purchased from two or more sources. However, some key components that we use in our products may only be available from single sources with which we do not have contracts. We may obtain sole source components manufactured by companies such as Cypress, E20, Finisar, ICS, Intel, IBM, Lattice, Micrel, Micron, Motorola, NEC, Quicklogic, Samsung, Seiko Epson, Siliconix, Tundra Semiconductor and Vitesse. In addition, we design our own ASICs that are embedded in our products. These ASICs are also sole sourced and manufactured by third-party semiconductor foundries including IBM and LSI Logic. In addition to hardware, we design software to provide functionality to our hardware products. In the past, we have also licensed software from third party providers for use with our traditional networking products, and most of these providers are the sole source for the software. However, both our software and the third party software provided as embedded programs within the hardware products. Additionally, revenue related to our traditional networking products has decreased over the last several years due to the ongoing maturation of these products and a decrease in our focus on these products. We issued last time buy notifications to customers for our traditional networking products during the last quarter of 2000 and expect negligible, if any, revenues in succeeding quarters related to these products.

In 1998, we began outsourcing the manufacturing of our product lines to an electronics manufacturing service, or EMS, provider. This decision resulted in, among other things, the closing of our Puerto Rico manufacturing facility, streamlining the product offerings of some of our more mature, lower volume products (primarily for our traditional networking products) and closing selected sales offices. Suntron Corporation (formerly known as K*Tec Electronics) manufactures for us within the United States and Manufacturers’ Services, Ltd., or MSL, manufacturers for us in both the United States and in Europe at their Global Manufacturing Services production facility in Valencia, Spain.

In July 2002, MSL notified us that they would be closing their facility within the United States that manufactured our products. As a result, the facility has been closed and we have transitioned a portion of the manufacturing of our products to an alternative MSL facility within the United States. The transition was completed during fiscal 2003. In June 2003, we notified Suntron that we intend to discontinue using their services. We expect that we will no longer use Suntron as an EMS provider by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2004. In June 2003, we selected Benchmark Electronics, Inc., or Benchmark, as an additional EMS provider and expect to begin shipping product to customers from Benchmark’s facility in Guadalajara, Mexico by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2004. At this time, our customers have yet to qualify the Benchmark facility in Mexico. Although we do not expect these changes to our electronics manufacturing service providers to have a significant impact on us, if we were to experience significant delays in product qualifications, completing production runs or shipping product as a result of these changes, and we were unable to compensate for this disruption elsewhere, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

An inability or an unwillingness on the part of any of our suppliers to provide us, or our EMS providers, with the quality and quantity of products, parts or software that we need in a timely fashion could have a material impact on our ability to supply products in accordance with customer requirements.

The assembly operations required by our products are typical of the electronics industry, and no unusual methods, procedures or equipment are required. The sophisticated nature of the products, in most cases, requires extensive testing by specialized test devices operated by skilled personnel. Our EMS providers provide this testing. However, we also maintain an internal test-engineering group for continuing support of test operations. At June 29, 2003, we had a total of 36 regular full-time manufacturing support employees located at our facilities in Costa Mesa, California and in Bolton, Massachusetts.

Employees

At June 29, 2003, we employed 395 employees as follows: 243 in engineering and development, 55 in selling and marketing, 61 in general and administrative and 36 in manufacturing support operations. None of our employees is represented by a labor union, and we believe our employee relations are good.

Risk Factors

A prolonged downturn in information technology spending in general or spending on high-performance computer and storage systems in particular could adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.

The demand for our Fibre Channel products, which represented 99 percent of our net revenues for fiscal 2003, has been supported by the demand for high-performance networking and data storage solutions that support enterprise computing requirements, including on-line transaction processing, data mining, data warehousing, multimedia and Internet applications. In early calendar 2001, the global economy experienced a significant slowdown that was exacerbated by the terrorist attacks on the United States and the resulting economic and political uncertainty throughout the world. Such downturn has resulted in substantial reductions in demand for networking, data storage and other information technology solutions and products. We are unable to predict the duration or depth of such downturn in technology spending. In the event that such downturn grows more severe or continues for an extended period of time, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected. The adverse effects of any sustained downturn in information technology spending on our operating results may be exacerbated by our research and development investments, strategic investments and merger and acquisition activity, as well as customer service and support, which are expected to continue despite any such downturn.

Our business depends upon the continued growth of the storage networking market, and our business will be adversely affected if such growth does not occur or occurs more slowly than we anticipate.

The size of our potential market is dependent upon the broadening acceptance of our storage networking technologies as alternatives to other technologies traditionally utilized for network and storage communications, as well as the overall demand for storage. We believe that our investment in the storage networking market represents our greatest opportunity for revenue growth and profitability for the foreseeable future. However, we cannot be certain that the market for storage networking products will gain broader acceptance or that customers will continue to choose our technology and products. Additionally, since our products are sold as parts of integrated systems, our products’ demand is driven by the demand for these integrated systems, including other companies’ complementary products. A lack of demand for the integrated systems or a lack of complementary products required for these integrated systems could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. If the storage networking market does not grow, attracts more competitors than we expect, as discussed below, or if our products do not achieve market acceptance, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

We have secured numerous design wins for our storage networking products from OEM customers. If our customers are unable to or otherwise do not ship systems that incorporate our products, or if their shipped systems were not commercially successful, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially adversely affected.

We experienced a downturn in Fibre Channel host bus adapter demand first evidenced by order deferrals experienced and disclosed by us in early February of calendar 2001. In the event such deferrals were to occur again, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Because a significant portion of our revenues are generated from sales to a limited number of customers, none of which are the subject of exclusive or long-term contracts, the loss of one or more of these customers could adversely affect our business.

We rely almost exclusively on OEMs and sales through distribution channels for our revenue. For fiscal 2003, we derived approximately 66 percent of our net revenues from OEMs and 34 percent from sales through distribution. Furthermore, because the majority of our sales through distribution channels consist of OEM-certified products, we believe that OEM

8


Table of Contents

customers effectively control more than 85 percent of our revenue. We cannot be certain that we will retain our current OEM and distributor customers or that we will be able to recruit additional or replacement customers. As is common in the technology industry, our agreements with OEMs and distributors are typically non-exclusive, have no volume commitments, and often may be terminated by either party without cause. Indeed, it is increasingly commonplace for our OEM and distributor customers to carry or utilize competing product lines. If we were to lose business from one or more significant OEM or distributor customers to a competitor, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

For fiscal 2003, direct sales to Hewlett-Packard and IBM were each 23 percent of our total net revenues. Direct sales to our top five customers accounted for 68 percent of total net revenues for fiscal 2003. Additionally, some of our larger OEM customers purchased or marketed products indirectly through distributors, resellers or other third parties. Total net revenues, including direct sales to our OEM customers and their OEM-specific models purchased or marketed indirectly through other distribution channels, amounted to 26 percent of our total net revenues for IBM, 23 percent for Hewlett-Packard and 22 percent for EMC for fiscal 2003.

Compaq and Hewlett-Packard consummated their merger in May 2002. Although we cannot predict the remaining effects of such merger on our business, to the extent that such merger results in decreased demand or margins for our products, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Although we have attempted to expand our base of customers, we believe our revenues in the future will continue to be similarly derived from a limited number of customers, especially given the consolidation the industry has experienced. As a result, to the extent that sales to any of our significant customers are reduced or impaired, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Our markets are highly competitive and our business and results of operations may be adversely affected by entry of new competitors into the markets, aggressive pricing and the introduction or expansion of competitive products and technologies.

The markets for our products are highly competitive and are characterized by rapid technological advances, price erosion, frequent new product introductions and evolving industry standards. We expect that our market will continue to attract new competition. Our current and potential competition consists of major domestic and international companies, some of which have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing and distribution resources than we have. Additional companies may enter the markets for our storage networking products and new or stronger competitors may emerge as a result of consolidation movements in the marketplace. Furthermore, larger companies in other related industries may develop or acquire technologies and apply their significant resources, such as distribution channels and brand recognition, to acquire market share. Emerging companies attempting to obtain a share of the existing markets act as potential competition as well. Additionally, our existing competitors continue to introduce products with improved price/performance characteristics, and we will have to do the same to remain competitive. As the market grows and matures, we expect more customers to qualify multiple sources for OEM or standard products where we have prevailed previously as a single source, thus introducing competition into our existing customer accounts. Increased competition could result in significant price competition, reduced revenues, lower profit margins or loss of market share, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Alternative legacy technologies such as SCSI compete with our Fibre Channel and IP storage networking technologies for customers. Our success depends in part on our own ability and on the ability of our OEM customers to develop storage networking solutions that are competitive with these alternative legacy technologies. Some of our competitors already have well-established relationships with our current and potential customers, have extensive knowledge of the markets we serve and may have better name recognition and more extensive development, sales and marketing resources than we have. Additionally, in the future other technologies that we are not currently developing may evolve to address the storage networking applications currently served by our Fibre Channel product line today.

Some of our suppliers, our strategic partners or our OEM customers could become competitors.

Some of our suppliers, our strategic partners and our OEM customers currently have or could develop products internally or could purchase another company with products or technology that would replace or compete with our products and technology. To the extent that our customers or suppliers are successful in developing and marketing competitive solutions, the resulting reductions in sales of our products could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our operating results are difficult to forecast and could be adversely affected by many factors, and our stock price may decline if our results fail to meet expectations.

Our revenues and results of operations have varied on a quarterly basis in the past and may vary significantly in the future. Accordingly, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily meaningful, and you should not rely on such comparisons as indications of our future performance. There can be no assurance that we will maintain our current levels of growth or profitability in the future. Our revenues and results of operations are difficult to forecast and could be adversely affected by many factors, including, among others:

    The gain or loss of significant OEMs, OEM design wins or other customers;
 
    Changes in the size, timing and terms of OEM and other customer orders;
 
    Changes in the sales and deployment cycles for our products, particularly those sold through our OEM sales channels;
 
    Changes in our significant customers’ desired inventory levels;
 
    The timing and market acceptance of new or enhanced product introductions by us, our OEM customers and our competitors;
 
    Changes in the selling price of our products;
 
    Changes in the mix of product sales or the mix of sales channels;
 
    Difficulties in obtaining incremental market share growth;
 
    Fluctuations in product development and other operating expenses;
 
    Fluctuations in manufacturing cost, including the cost of components we use to produce our products;
 
    Component shortages experienced by us, or reduced demand from our customers if our customers are unable to acquire the components used in conjunction with our products in their deployments;
 
    The ability of our electronics manufacturing service providers to produce and distribute our products in a timely fashion;
 
    Difficulties, disruptions or delays caused by the move of our corporate headquarters in fiscal 2004;
 
    Difficulties with updates, changes or additions to our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System;
 
    Changes in general social and economic conditions, including but not limited to terrorism, public health and slower than expected market growth, with resulting changes in customer technology budgeting and spending;
 
    Changes in technology, industry standards or consumer preferences;
 
    Seasonality;
 
    Changes in our accounting or other policies resulting from the adoption of new laws, regulations or pronouncements; and/or
 
    Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

As a result of these and other unexpected factors or developments, it is possible that our future operating results will be below the expectations of investors or market analysts, which could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.

Unfilled orders and our tendency to generate a large percentage of our quarterly sales near the end of the quarter contributes to possible quarterly fluctuations in our operating results that could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and stock price.

Historically, we have generally shipped products quickly after we receive orders, meaning that we do not always have a significant backlog of unfilled orders. As a result, our revenues in a given quarter may depend substantially on orders booked in that quarter. Alternatively, orders already in backlog may be deferred or cancelled. Also, we have typically generated a large percentage of our quarterly revenues in the last month of the quarter. Our customers may change their accounting practices and purchasing patterns, thus reducing our ability to predict our quarterly sales. Additionally, we use blanket purchase orders with some customers, with customer-provided forecasts and customer controlled just-in-time pulls of products from hub warehouses, thus reducing our ability to predict our quarterly sales. As a result of these and other factors, we may not be able to accurately predict our quarterly sales. Because our expense levels are partially based on our expectations of future sales, in the event we experience unexpected decreases in quarterly sales, our expenses may be disproportionately large relative to our revenues and we may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. A material shortfall in sales in relation to our quarterly expectations or any delay of customer orders would likely have an immediate and adverse impact on our results of operations and may adversely affect our stock price.

The failure of one or more of our significant customers to make payments could adversely affect our business.

We are subject to credit risk associated with the concentration of our accounts receivable from our customers. Our days sales outstanding, or DSOs, were 37 days at both June 29, 2003, and June 30, 2002. There can be no assurance they will remain at this level or improve. If one of our current significant customers were to declare bankruptcy, if we were to lose one of our current significant customers and did not receive their payments due to us, or if one of our current significant customers were to dispute a significant amount owed to us, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our industry is subject to rapid technological change, and we must keep pace with the changes to successfully compete.

The markets for our products are characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and the frequent introduction of new products and enhancements. Our future success depends in a large part on our ability to enhance our existing products and to introduce new products on a timely basis to meet changes in customer preferences and evolving industry standards. Currently, new and proposed technologies such as 4 gigabit per second, or Gbps, Fibre Channel solutions; 10 Gbps Fibre Channel solutions; Infiniband; PCI-X 2.0; PCI Express; iSCSI; SATA; SAS; VI; and Remote Direct Memory Access, or RDMA; are in development by many companies and their ultimate acceptance and deployment in the market is uncertain. Emulex is developing some, but not all of these technologies, and we cannot be sure that the technologies we chose to develop will achieve market acceptance, or that technologies that we chose not to develop will be available to purchase or license from third parties or will be immaterial to our business. We cannot be certain that we will be successful in developing, manufacturing and marketing new products or product enhancements that respond to technological changes in a timely manner and achieve market acceptance. We also cannot be certain that we will be able to develop the underlying core technologies necessary to create new products and enhancements, or that we will be able to license the required core technologies with commercially reasonable terms from third parties. In addition, a key element of our current business strategy is to develop ASICs in order to increase system performance, enhance integration and reduce manufacturing costs, thereby enhancing the price/performance of our storage networking products. We cannot be certain that we will be successful at developing and incorporating ASICs effectively and in a timely manner. Additionally, the cost and time required for developing ASICs has been increasing and we cannot be certain of the impact on our business of such increases. If we are unable, for technological or other reasons, to develop new products, enhance or sell existing products, or consume existing products in a timely and cost-effective manner in response to technological and market changes, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

We have experienced losses in our history that may adversely affect our stock price and financial condition.

We have experienced losses in our history, most recently a net loss of $96.2 million in fiscal 2002, and $23.6 million in fiscal 2001. The net loss in fiscal 2002 included $156.2 million of amortization of goodwill and other intangibles related to the acquisition of Giganet, Inc. and a net excess and obsolete inventory charge of $10.1 million. The net loss in fiscal 2001 included $22.3 million of in-process research and development expenses and $52.1 million of amortization of goodwill and other intangibles related to the acquisition of Giganet, Inc. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, when we adopted Statement 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” we no longer amortize goodwill and other intangibles that have indeterminate useful lives. We currently have net goodwill related to the Giganet acquisition in the amount of $397.3

million that will be reviewed at least annually for impairment. Any losses, including losses caused by impairment of goodwill, may adversely affect the perception of our business by analysts and investors, which could adversely affect our stock price. While our recent losses have not been accompanied by negative cash flow from operations, to the extent that we are unable to generate positive operating profits and positive cash flow from operations, our financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

The migration of our customers toward newer product platforms may have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations, including charges for obsolete inventory.

As our customers migrate from one platform to the enhanced price/performance of the next platform, we may experience reduced revenue, gross profit and gross margin levels associated with lower average selling prices and higher relative product costs associated with improved performance. Also, economic conditions during platform migration periods can have a significant impact on results. This was evidenced in late September 2001, as some of our major customers made announcements that general economic conditions, exacerbated by the increase in economic uncertainty in the aftermath of the terrorist events of September 11, 2001, were having a negative impact on their financial results. The announcements made, and forecasts received, indicated deteriorating demand for our one Gbps products as these customers were expected to migrate to two Gbps products for future purchases. As a result, we initially recorded an inventory charge of $13.6 million in 2002 and then reduced this reserve by $3.5 million in 2002 as previously reserved inventory was sold. After initially recording our one Gbps reserve of $13.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2002, we subsequently reduced this reserve by a total of $6.9 million through June 29, 2003, as this previously reserved inventory has been sold. Overall, we have been able to recover a significant portion of this reserved inventory that was not expected based on our forecasts and the forecasts received from our customers when this excess and obsolete inventory charge was recorded. In addition to the sale of some of this previously reserved product, we have also scrapped $3.3 million of this reserved inventory and negotiated and paid cancellation charges of $0.2 million through June 29, 2003, related to this excess and obsolete inventory charge since it was initially recorded. As with all inventory, we regularly compare forecasted demand for our one Gbps products against inventory on hand and open purchase commitments and accordingly, we may have to record reductions to the carrying value of excess and obsolete inventory if forecasted demand decreases.

Any failure of our OEM customers to keep up with rapid technological change could adversely affect our business.

Our revenues depend significantly upon the ability and willingness of our OEM customers to develop, promote and deliver, on a timely basis, products that incorporate our technology. OEMs must commit significant resources to develop a product that incorporates our technology or solutions. The ability and willingness of OEM customers to develop, promote and deliver such products are significantly influenced by a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. We cannot be certain of the ability or willingness of our OEM customers to continue developing, marketing and selling products that incorporate our technology or solutions. Our business is dependent on our relationships with our OEM and distributor customers, so the inability or unwillingness of any of our significant customers to develop or promote products that use our technology or solutions would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Rapid changes in the evolution of technology, including the unexpected extent or timing of the transition from HBA solutions to lower-priced ASIC solutions, could adversely affect our business.

Historically, the electronics industry has developed higher performance ASICs that create chip level solutions that replace selected board level solutions at a significantly lower average selling price. We have previously offered ASICs to certain customers for certain applications that has effectively resulted in a lower-priced solution when compared to an HBA solution. This transition may occur for our products in other applications as well. The result of this transition may be an adverse effect on our revenues and profit margin. If this transition is more abrupt or is more widespread than anticipated, there can be no assurance that we will be able to modify our business model in a timely manner, if at all, in order to mitigate the effects of this transition on our business, results of operations and financial position.

Rapid shifts in customer purchases from our high-end server and storage solutions to midrange server and storage solutions could adversely affect our business.

Historically, the majority of our Fibre Channel revenues has come from our high-end server and storage solutions. In recent quarters, an increasing percentage of revenues has come from midrange server and storage solutions, which typically have lower average selling prices than our high-end server and storage solutions. If this trend were to be more abrupt or more widespread than anticipated, there can be no assurance that we would be able to modify our business model in a timely manner, if at all, in order to mitigate the effect of this trend on our business, results of operations and financial position.

A decrease in the average unit selling prices and/ or an increase in the manufactured cost of our Fibre Channel products could adversely affect our revenue, gross margins and financial performance.

Since we introduced our first Fibre Channel products, we have experienced downward pressure on their average unit selling prices. We may provide pricing discounts to customers based upon volume purchase criteria, and achievement of such discounts may reduce our average unit selling prices. To the extent that growth in unit demand fails to offset decreases in average unit selling prices, our revenues and financial performance could be materially adversely affected. Although historically we have achieved offsetting cost reductions, to the extent that average unit selling prices of our Fibre Channel products decrease without a corresponding decrease in the costs of such products, our gross margins and financial performance could be materially adversely affected. Furthermore, if the manufactured cost of our products were to increase due to inflation or other factors, our gross margins and financial performance could be materially adversely affected.

Delays in product development could adversely affect our business.

We have experienced delays in product development in the past and may experience similar delays in the future. Given the short product life cycles in the markets for our products and the relatively long product development cycles, any delay or unanticipated difficulty associated with new product introductions or product enhancements could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Prior delays have resulted from numerous factors, such as:

    Difficulties in hiring and retaining necessary personnel;
 
    Difficulties in reallocating engineering resources and other resource limitations;
 
    Difficulties with independent contractors;
 
    Unanticipated engineering or manufacturing complexity;
 
    Undetected errors or failures in software and hardware;
 
    Changing OEM product specifications;
 
    Delays in the acceptance or shipment of products by OEM customers; and/or
 
    Changing market or competitive product requirements.

Our products are complex and may contain undetected software or hardware errors that could lead to an increase in our costs, reduce our net revenues or damage our reputation.

Our products are complex and may contain undetected errors, especially when first introduced or as new versions are released. The occurrence of hardware or software errors could adversely affect sales of our products, cause us to incur significant repair costs, divert the attention of our engineering personnel from product development efforts and cause us to lose credibility with current or prospective customers.

Our joint development activities may result in products that are not commercially successful or that are not available in a timely fashion.

We have engaged in joint development projects with third parties in the past and we expect to continue doing so in the future. Joint development can magnify several risks for us, including the loss of control over development of aspects of the jointly-developed products and over the timing of product availability. Accordingly, we face increased risk that joint development activities will result in products that are not commercially successful or that are not available in a timely fashion.

During April 2003 we announced a joint development activity with Intel Corporation relating to storage processors that integrate SATA, SAS and Fibre Channel interfaces within a single architecture. Under the agreement, Emulex will develop the protocol controller hardware, firmware and drivers. Intel will integrate it’s Intel® Xscale™ microarchitecture as the core technology for the new processors and will manufacture the processors on its 90-nanometer process technology. Emulex will market the resulting Fibre Channel products and Intel will market the SATA and SAS product. This activity has risks resulting from unproven new-generation manufacturing technology, from the licensing of SATA and SAS

technology to Intel, from increased development costs, from reduced flexibility in making design changes in response to market changes and in reduced control over product completion schedules.

A change in our business relationships with our third-party suppliers or our electronics manufacturing service providers could adversely affect our business.

We rely on third-party suppliers for components and the manufacture of our products, and we have experienced delays or difficulty in securing components and finished goods in the past. Delays or difficulty in securing components or finished goods may be caused by numerous factors including, but not limited to:

    Discontinued production by a supplier;
 
    Undetected errors, failures or production quality issues;
 
    Timeliness of product delivery;
 
    Financial stability and viability of our suppliers and electronics manufacturing service providers;
 
    Changes in business strategies of our suppliers and electronics manufacturing service providers;
 
    Disruption in shipping channels;
 
    Natural disasters;
 
    Environmental, tax or legislative changes in the location where our products are produced;
 
    Difficulties associated with foreign operations; and/or
 
    Market shortages.

There is a risk that we will not be able to retain our current suppliers or change to alternative suppliers. An interruption in supply or the cost of shifting to a new supplier or electronics manufacturing service providers could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Additionally, key components that we use in our products may only be available from single sources with which we do not have contracts. We may obtain sole source components manufactured by companies such as Cypress, E20, Finisar, ICS, Intel, IBM, Lattice, Micrel, Micron, Motorola, NEC, Quicklogic, Samsung, Seiko Epson, Siliconix, Tundra Semiconductor and Vitesse. In addition, we design our own ASICs that are embedded in our products. These ASICs are also sole sourced and manufactured by third-party semiconductor foundries including IBM and LSI Logic. In addition to hardware, we design software to provide functionality to our hardware products. In the past, we have also licensed software from third party providers for use with our traditional networking products, and most of these providers are the sole source for the software. However, both our software and the third party software are provided as embedded programs within the hardware products. The loss of one or more of our sole suppliers or third party foundries could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, an announcement made by one of our sole suppliers or third party foundries that they intend to stop producing a component in the future could cause us, based on forecasted demand that may or may not materialize, to enter into a long-term purchase commitment or make a last-time purchase that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Because we outsource the production of our products to electronics manufacturing service providers, or EMS providers, we only manage the supply of a small number of our product components. Currently, we rely upon our EMS providers to complete numerous component purchases for our products. Consequently, we cannot be certain that the necessary components will be available to meet our future requirements at favorable prices, if at all.

In July 2002, MSL, one of our EMS providers, notified us that they would be closing their facility within the United States that manufactured our products. As a result, the facility has been closed and we have transitioned a portion of the manufacturing of our products to an alternative MSL facility within the United States. The transition was completed during fiscal 2003. In June 2003, we notified Suntron that we intend to discontinue using their services. We expect that we will no longer use Suntron as an EMS provider by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2004. In June 2003, we selected

14


Table of Contents

Benchmark Electronics, Inc., or Benchmark, as an additional EMS provider and expect to begin shipping product to customers from Benchmark’s facility in Guadalajara, Mexico by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2004. At this time, our customers have yet to qualify the Benchmark facility in Mexico. Although we do not expect these changes to our electronics manufacturing service providers to have a significant impact on us, if we were to experience significant delays in product qualifications, completing production runs or shipping product as a result of these changes, and we were unable to compensate for this disruption elsewhere, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, because we rely upon our EMS providers to manufacture, store and ship our products, the manufacturing and sale of our products would be temporarily suspended if MSL, Suntron and/or Benchmark are unable or unwilling to complete production runs for us in the future, or experience any significant delays in completing production runs or shipping product. An interruption in supply of our products and the cost of qualifying and shifting production to an alternative manufacturing and distribution facility could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, we rely upon the financial stability of our EMS providers and their ability and willingness to continue as our EMS providers.

If our intellectual property protections are inadequate, it could adversely affect our business.

We believe that our continued success depends primarily on continuing innovation, marketing and technical expertise, as well as the quality of product support and customer relations. At the same time, our success is partially dependent on the proprietary technology contained in our products. We currently rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secret laws and contractual provisions to establish and protect our intellectual property rights in our products. For a more complete description of our intellectual property, you should read “Business — Intellectual Property.”

We cannot be certain that the steps we take to protect our intellectual property will adequately protect our proprietary rights, that others will not independently develop or otherwise acquire equivalent or superior technology, or that we can maintain such technology as trade secrets. In addition, the laws of some of the countries in which our products are or may be developed, manufactured or sold may not protect our products and intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States or at all. Furthermore, we enter into various development projects and arrangements with other companies. In some cases, these arrangements allow for the sharing or use of our intellectual property. Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Third-party claims of intellectual property infringement could adversely affect our business.

We believe that our products and technology do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others or upon intellectual property rights that may be granted in the future pursuant to pending applications. We occasionally receive communications from third parties alleging patent infringement, and there is always the chance that third parties may assert infringement claims against us. Any such claims, with or without merit, could result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, which may or may not be available. However, we have in the past obtained, and may be required in the future to obtain, licenses of technology owned by other parties. We cannot be certain that the necessary licenses will be available or that they can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we were to fail to obtain such royalty or licensing agreements in a timely manner and on reasonable terms, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially adversely affected.

The inability to attract or the loss of key managerial and technical personnel could adversely affect our business.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the performance and continued service of key managers as well as engineers involved in the development of our storage networking technologies and technical support of our storage networking products and customers. Our future success depends upon our ability to attract, train and retain such personnel. We may need to increase the number of key managers as well as technical staff members with experience in high-speed networking applications as we further develop our storage networking product lines. Competition for such highly skilled employees in our local community as well as our industry is intense, and we cannot be certain that we will be successful in recruiting and retaining such personnel. In addition, employees may leave our company and subsequently compete against us. Also, many of these key managerial and technical personnel receive stock options. New regulations, volatility in the stock market and other factors could diminish the value of our stock options, putting us at a competitive disadvantage and forcing us to use more cash compensation. If we are unable to attract new managerial and technical employees, or are unable to retain our current key managerial and technical employees, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Our international business activities subject us to risks that could adversely affect our business.

For fiscal 2003, sales in the United States accounted for 60 percent of our total net revenues, sales in Europe accounted for 33 percent of our total net revenues, and sales in the Pacific Rim countries accounted for seven percent of our total net revenues. We expect that sales in the United States and Europe will continue to account for the substantial majority of our net revenues for the foreseeable future. All of our sales are currently denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result, if the value of the U.S. dollar increases relative to foreign currencies, our products could become less competitive in international markets. Additionally, a significant portion of our products is produced at a manufacturing subcontractor’s production facility in Valencia, Spain and in the future products will be produced in Guadalajara, Mexico. As a result, we are subject to the risks inherent in international operations. Our international business activities could be affected, limited or disrupted by a variety of factors, including:

    The imposition of governmental controls and regulatory requirements;
 
    The costs and risks of localizing products for foreign countries;
 
    Longer accounts receivable payment cycles;
 
    Changes in the value of local currencies relative to our functional currency;
 
    Trade restrictions;
 
    Changes in tariffs;
 
    Loss of tax benefits due to international production;
 
    General economic and social conditions within foreign countries; and/or
 
    Political instability, war or terrorism.

In addition, the revenues we earn in various countries in which we do business may be subject to taxation by more than one jurisdiction, thereby adversely affecting our earnings. All of these factors could harm future sales of our products to international customers or future overseas production of our products, and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Export restrictions may adversely affect our business.

Our products are subject to U.S. Department of Commerce export control restrictions. Neither our customers nor we may export such products without obtaining an export license, where applicable. These U.S. export laws also prohibit the export of our products to a number of countries deemed by the United States to be hostile. These restrictions may make foreign competitors facing less stringent controls on their products more competitive in the global market than our customers or we are. The U.S. government may not approve any pending or future export license requests. In addition, the list of products and countries for which export approval is required, and the regulatory policies with respect thereto, could be revised. The sale of our products could be harmed by our inability or the inability of our customers to obtain the required licenses or by the costs of compliance.

Potential acquisitions or strategic investments may be more costly or less profitable than anticipated and may adversely affect the price of our company stock.

We may pursue acquisitions or strategic investments that could provide new technologies, products or service offerings. Future acquisitions or strategic investments may negatively impact our results of operations as a result of operating losses incurred by the acquired entity, the use of significant amounts of cash, potentially dilutive issuances of equity or equity-linked securities, incurrence of debt or amortization of intangible assets with determinable lives. Furthermore, we may incur significant expenses pursuing acquisitions or strategic investments that ultimately may not be completed. Moreover, to the extent that any proposed acquisition or strategic investment is not favorably received by stockholders, analysts and others in the investment community, the price of our common stock could be adversely affected. In addition, acquisitions or strategic investments involve numerous risks, including:

16


Table of Contents

    Difficulties in the assimilation of the operations, technologies, products and personnel of the acquired company;
 
    The diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns;
 
    Risks of entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience;
 
    Risks related to the effect that the acquired company’s internal control processes might have on our financial reporting and management’s report on our internal controls over financial reporting; and/or
 
    The potential loss of key employees of the acquired company.

In the event that an acquisition or strategic investment does occur and we are unable to obtain anticipated profits or successfully integrate operations, technologies, products or personnel that we acquire, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Our stock price is volatile, which has and may result in lawsuits against us and our officers and directors.

The stock market in general and the stock prices in technology-based companies in particular have experienced extreme volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of any specific public company. The market price of our common stock has fluctuated in the past and is likely to fluctuate in the future as well. Factors that could have a significant impact on the market price of our common stock include, but are not limited to, the following:

    Quarterly variations in operating results;
 
    Announcements of new products by us or our competitors;
 
    The gain or loss of significant customers or design wins;
 
    Changes in analysts’ earnings estimates;
 
    Changes in analyst recommendations, price targets or other parameters that may not be related to earnings estimates;
 
    Rumors or dissemination of false information;
 
    Pricing pressures;
 
    Short selling of our common stock;
 
    Dilution resulting from conversion of outstanding convertible subordinated notes into shares of our common stock;
 
    General conditions in the computer, storage or communications markets; and/or
 
    Events affecting other companies that investors deem to be comparable to us.

In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been the object of securities class action litigation. In this regard, we and certain of our officers and directors were named as defendants in a number of securities class action lawsuits filed in the United States District Court, Central District of California. The plaintiffs in the actions represent purchasers of our common stock during various periods ranging from January 18, 2001, through February 9, 2001. The complaints allege that we and certain of our officers and directors made misrepresentations and omissions in violation of sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The complaints generally seek compensatory damages, costs and attorney’s fees in an unspecified amount. In addition, we have received inquiries about events giving rise to the lawsuits from the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Nasdaq Stock Market. On April 22, 2003, we entered into two Memoranda of Understanding agreeing to terms of settlement for both the class action and derivative litigation. If we were to be the subject of a securities class action lawsuit in the future it could have a material adverse effect on or results of operations and financial condition. See Part I – Item 3 – “Legal Proceedings” of this Form 10-K for a more complete discussion of such litigation and Memoranda of Understanding.

The final amount collected for our receivable from our insurance carriers related to the tentative settlements of securities class action and derivative lawsuits may be materially different from the receivable amount.

For the three months ended March 30, 2003, we recorded a $13.5 million receivable from our insurance carriers related to the tentative settlements of securities class action and derivative lawsuits. We had directors and officers insurance with a primary limit of $10.0 million and a possible $10.0 million reinstatement for the period of February 2000 through February 2002; and excess insurance of $10.0 million for the period February 2000 through February 2001; and excess insurance of $20.0 million for the period February 2001 to February 2002. Our insurance carriers have asserted various defenses including coverage exclusions and late notice. Our actual insurance recovery may be materially different from the recorded amount for various reasons, including the strength of the defenses asserted by our insurance carriers. If one or all of our insurance carriers were unable or refused to make some or all payments due to us, or if an arbitrator or court determines that the recovery should be an amount other than the recorded amount, or if ultimately the amount received by us is more or less than the recorded amount, we would be required to record a corresponding gain or loss.

Terrorist activities and resulting military and other actions could adversely affect our business.

The terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C. in September 2001 disrupted commerce throughout the United States and Europe. The continued threat of terrorism within the United States and Europe and the military action and heightened security measures in response to such threat may cause significant disruption to commerce throughout the world. To the extent that such disruptions result in delays or cancellations of customer orders, delays in collecting cash, a general decrease in corporate spending on information technology or our inability to effectively market, manufacture or ship our products, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. We are unable to predict whether the threat of terrorism or the responses thereto will result in any long-term commercial disruptions or if such activities or responses will have any long-term material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our corporate offices and principal product development facilities are located in a region that is subject to earthquakes and other natural disasters.

Our California facilities, including our corporate offices and principal product development facilities, are located near major earthquake faults. Any disruption in our business activities, personal injury or damage to the facilities in excess of our currently insured amounts as a result of earthquakes or other such natural disasters, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our shareholder rights plan, certificate of incorporation and Delaware law could adversely affect the performance of our stock.

Our shareholder rights plan and provisions of our certificate of incorporation and of the Delaware General Corporation Law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. The shareholder rights plan and these provisions of our certificate of incorporation and Delaware law are intended to encourage potential acquirers to negotiate with us and allow our board of directors the opportunity to consider alternative proposals in the interest of maximizing stockholder value. However, such provisions may also discourage acquisition proposals or delay or prevent a change in control, which could harm our stock price. You should read note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere herein, our certificate of incorporation and Delaware law for more information on the anti-takeover effects of provisions of our shareholder rights plan.

Changes in laws, regulations and financial accounting standards may affect our reported results of operations.

The recently enacted Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related regulations may result in changes in accounting standards or accepted practices within our industry. New pronouncements and varying interpretations of pronouncements have occurred in the past and are likely to occur in the future as a result of recent Congressional and regulatory actions. New laws, regulations and accounting standards, as well as changes to currently accepted accounting practices in the technology industry might adversely affect our reported financial results, which could have an adverse effect on our stock price. Proposals have been made concerning the expensing of stock options that could result in rules or laws that may adversely affect our reported financial results, which could have an adverse effect on our stock price.

The final determination of our income tax liability may be materially different from our income tax provisions and accruals.

We are subject to income taxes in both the United States and international jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Additionally, our calculations of income taxes are based on our interpretations of applicable tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we file. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, there is no assurance that the final determination of our income tax liability will not be materially different than what is reflected in our income tax provisions and accruals. Should additional taxes be assessed as a result of new legislation, an audit or litigation, if our effective tax rate should change as a result of changes in federal, international or state and local tax laws, or if we were to change the locations where we operate, there could be a material effect on our income tax provision and net income in the period or periods in which that determination is made.

We may need additional capital in the future and such additional financing may not be available on favorable terms.

While we believe we have adequate working capital to meet our expected cash requirements for the immediate future, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings in order to:

    Take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, including more rapid international expansion or acquisitions of complementary businesses or technologies;
 
    Develop new products or services;
 
    Repay outstanding indebtedness; and/or
 
    Respond to unanticipated competitive pressures.

We cannot assure you that any additional financing we may need will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop new products or services or otherwise respond to unanticipated competitive pressures. In any such case, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Item 2. Properties.

Our corporate offices and principal product development facilities are currently located in approximately 114 thousand square feet of leased buildings in Costa Mesa, California. The lease expires in September 2003. We will then begin a month-to-month lease for our current corporate offices and principal product development facilities until occupying our new corporate headquarters, which is under construction and described in more detail below.

We lease facilities in Colorado and Massachusetts primarily for engineering and development and approximately 11 other remote offices, primarily for sales, throughout the world.

In 2002, we entered into an agreement to relocate our headquarters locally in Costa Mesa, California. We will finance the build to suit construction phase of the approximately 180 thousand square feet facility with our own capital, before beginning a 10-year lease term with an option to buy the land and buildings during the first six months of the lease term. If we do not exercise our option to purchase the facility, the landlord will obtain permanent financing and reimburse us for the construction costs. Construction on our new corporate headquarters is progressing. If purchased, we believe the total cost, including the land, building and other related capital expenditures, would be approximately $47 million. Our total gross undiscounted financial commitment for the 10-year lease term would be approximately $45.9 million. At June 29, 2003, the Company had restricted cash of $9.3 million held in escrow and associated with the construction of the headquarters.

Our future facilities requirements will depend upon our business, but we believe additional space, if required, may be obtained on reasonable terms.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

Beginning on or about February 20, 2001, we and certain of our officers and directors were named as defendants in a number of securities class action lawsuits filed in the United States District Court, Central District of California. The plaintiffs in the actions represent purchasers of our common stock during various periods ranging from January 18, 2001,

through February 9, 2001. The complaints allege that we and certain of our officers and directors made misrepresentations and omissions in violation of sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The complaints generally seek compensatory damages, costs and attorney’s fees in an unspecified amount. Pursuant to a Stipulation and Court Order, the actions were consolidated. On August 24, 2001, an Amended and Consolidated Complaint was filed. Defendants’ motion to dismiss was denied by way of an order dated March 7, 2002. Defendants’ motion for reconsideration of that order was denied by an order dated May 3, 2002. Plaintiffs commenced discovery. The court certified the class action by an order dated September 30, 2002. Following these class action lawsuits, a number of derivative cases were filed in state courts in California and Delaware, and in federal court in California, alleging that certain officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties to us in connection with the events alleged in the class action lawsuits. The derivative cases filed in California state courts were consolidated in Orange County Superior Court and plaintiffs filed a consolidated and amended complaint on January 31, 2002. On May 10, 2002, the Orange County Superior Court ordered that the consolidated actions be stayed pending resolution of the federal class action described above. The derivative suit in Delaware was dismissed on August 28, 2001. On March 15, 2002, the United States District Court for the Central District of California ordered that the federal derivative action be stayed pending resolution of the class action lawsuit described above. We received inquiries about events giving rise to the lawsuits from the Securities and Exchange Commission and Nasdaq Stock Market. On April 22, 2003, we entered into two Memoranda of Understanding, or MOU’s, agreeing to terms of settlement for both the class action and derivative litigation. The MOU’s call for settlement payments totaling $39.0 million, plus up to $0.5 million of the cost of providing notice to the class members. A Final Order and Judgment was approved by the court in the derivative cases on May 30, 2003, based on a Stipulation of Settlement of Derivative Claims dated as of May 13, 2003. An Order Preliminarily Approving Settlement and Providing for Notice was approved by the court in the federal class action on July 11, 2003, based on a Stipulation of Settlement dated as of July 3, 2003. A Settlement Hearing is scheduled for October 15, 2003, in the federal class action. Insurance proceeds are expected to reimburse us for a portion of the payments and the probable net after tax effect of the settlements to us, based on our current minimum estimate of reimbursement from the insurance carriers, is expected to be approximately $16.7 million. We commenced an arbitration proceeding against three of our insurance carriers in June 2003 seeking reimbursement of $30.0 million for the defense and settlement costs.

Additionally, we are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

No matters were submitted to a vote of the security holders of the Company during the fourth quarter of 2003.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this Form 10-K may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We may also make forward-looking statements in other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in materials delivered to stockholders and in press releases. In addition, our representatives may from time to time make oral forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. Words such as “anticipates,” “in the opinion,” “believes,” “intends,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “plans,” “forecasts,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “projects,” “potential,” “continue” and similar expressions may be intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Actual future results could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors, including those discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth below, and, in particular, the subsection entitled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-K elsewhere herein. These factors include the fact that the economy generally, and the technology and storage segments specifically, have recently been in a state of uncertainty making it difficult to determine if past experience is a good guide to the future or if markets will grow or shrink in the short term. Recently, our results have been significantly impacted by a widespread slowdown in information technology spending that has also pressured the storage networking market that is the mainstay of our business. A prolonged downturn in information technology spending could adversely affect our revenues and results of operations. As a result of this uncertainty, we are unable to predict with any accuracy what future results might be. Other factors affecting these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: slower than expected growth of the storage networking market or the failure of our Original Equipment Manufacturer, or OEM, customers to successfully incorporate our products into their systems; our dependence on a limited number of customers and the effects of the loss of, or decrease or delays in orders by, any such customers, or the failure of such customers to make payment; the emergence of new or stronger competitors; the timing and market acceptance of our or our OEM customers’ new or enhanced products; the variability in the level of our backlog and the variable booking patterns of our customers; the effects of terrorist activities and resulting political or economic instability; the highly competitive nature of the markets for our products as well as pricing pressures that may result from such competitive conditions; our ability and the ability of our OEM customers to keep pace with the rapid technological changes in our industry and gain market acceptance for new products and technologies; the effect of rapid migration of customers toward newer product platforms; possible transitions from board level to application specific integrated circuit, or ASIC, solutions for selected applications; a shift in unit product mix from high-end to midrange products; a decrease in the average unit selling prices or an increase in the manufactured cost of our products; delays in product development; our reliance on third-party suppliers and subcontractors for components and assembly; any inadequacy of our intellectual property protection or the potential for third-party claims of infringement; our ability to attract and retain key technical personnel; our dependence on foreign sales; the effect of our stock price on stock compensation charges; the effect of acquisitions; changes in federal, international, or state and local income tax laws or rates; or changes in accounting standards.

Readers should carefully review these cautionary statements as they identify certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements and from historical trends and are in addition to other factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-K, in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or in materials incorporated therein by reference.

Fiscal 2003 versus Fiscal 2002

Net Revenues. Net revenues for 2003 increased $53.5 million, or 21 percent, to $308.2 million, compared to 2002.

From a product line perspective, net revenues generated from our Fibre Channel products for 2003 were $304.6 million, an increase of $56.9 million, or 23 percent, compared to 2002, and represented 99 percent of total net revenues for 2003. We continue to believe that our net revenues from our Fibre Channel products are being generated primarily as a result of our product certifications and qualifications with OEM customers, which take product both directly and through distribution channels.

Our IP Networking products consist of both our iSCSI products, which are currently in development, and VI products; as well as legacy cLAN products. We expect that our VI, cLAN and traditional networking products, which have all entered end-of-life status, will contribute negligible revenues to succeeding quarters. Although we continue to devote resources to iSCSI product development, the market remains in an early stage of development and we do not expect material revenue from these products for the foreseeable future.

In addition to direct sales, some of our larger OEM customers purchased or marketed products indirectly through distributors, resellers or other third parties. Customers with direct revenues only or total direct and indirect revenues, including customer-specific models purchased or marketed indirectly through distributors, resellers, and other third parties, of more than 10 percent were as follows:

Direct sales to our top five customers accounted for 68 percent of total net revenues in 2003 compared to 65 percent in 2002 and we expect to be similarly concentrated in the future. Our net revenues from our customers can be significantly impacted by changes in the business models of our customers. Beginning in late 2002, EMC began sourcing more product through distribution rather than purchasing it directly. Consequently, direct sales to EMC have been impacted. Additionally, EMC has formed an alliance with Dell and entered into a worldwide manufacturing agreement with Dell. Consequently, some of our models previously sold under EMC-specific model numbers are now being sold under Dell-specific model numbers, and some net revenues for EMC, including direct sales to EMC and their customer-specific models purchased indirectly through other distribution channels, have been shifted as a result of this Dell alliance.

From a distribution channel perspective, net revenues generated from OEM customers were 66 percent of net revenues and sales through distribution were 34 percent in 2003. Our OEM customers may take products both directly and through distribution channels.

A major factor in the increased distribution net revenues is that beginning in 2002, one of our larger OEM customers, EMC, began sourcing more product through distribution rather than purchasing it directly. In 2003 direct sales to EMC decreased $10.9 million while total direct and indirect sales to EMC increased by $11.0 million in 2003 compared to 2002.

In 2003 domestic net revenues increased by $32.6 million, or 21 percent, and international net revenues increased by $20.9 million, or 20 percent, compared to 2002.

We believe the increases in domestic and international net revenues were principally a function of the overall size of the market for Fibre Channel products and increased market acceptance of our Fibre Channel products. However, because we sell to OEMs and distributors who ultimately resell our products to their customers, the geographic mix of our net revenues may not be reflective of the geographic mix of end-user demand or installations.

Gross Profit. Cost of sales included the cost of production of finished products as well as support costs and other expenses related to inventory management, manufacturing quality and order fulfillment. In 2003, gross profit increased $64.3 million, or 49 percent, to $196.2 million, from $131.9 million in 2002. Gross margin increased to 64 percent in 2003, compared to 52 percent in 2002. Starting in late September 2001, some of our major customers made announcements that general economic conditions, exacerbated by the increase in economic uncertainty in the aftermath of the terrorist events of September 11, 2001, were having a negative impact on their financial results. The announcements made, and forecasts received, indicated deteriorating demand for our one Gbps products as these customers were expected to migrate to two Gbps products for future purchases. As a result, we recorded an estimated excess and obsolete inventory charge totaling $13.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2002. After initially recording the one Gbps reserve during the first quarter of fiscal 2002, we have subsequently reduced this reserve by a total of $6.9 million through June 29, 2003, as previously reserved inventory has been sold. Overall, we have been able to recover a significant portion of this reserved inventory that was not expected based on our forecasts and the forecasts received from our customers when this excess and obsolete charge was recorded. In addition to the sale of this previously reserved product, we have also scrapped $3.3 million of this reserved inventory and negotiated and paid cancellation charges of $0.2 million through June 29, 2003, related to this excess and obsolete inventory charge since it was initially recorded. In 2003 and 2002, the reduction related to our one Gbps reserve was $3.3 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Excluding the reduction of the excess and obsolete inventory reserve of $3.3 million in 2003, and the net excess and obsolete inventory charge of $10.1 million in 2002, gross profit would have been $192.9 million and $141.9 million, respectively, and gross margin would have been 63 percent and 56 percent, respectively. The increase in gross profit and gross margin in 2003 compared to 2002 was also due to cost reductions for Fibre Channel products, higher Fibre Channel net revenues and volumes and changes in product mix. Also, cost of sales included $0.1 million and $48 thousand of amortized deferred stock-based compensation expense for 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Engineering and Development. Engineering and development expenses consisted primarily of salaries and related expenses for personnel engaged in the design, development and technical support of our products. These expenses included third-party fees paid to consultants, prototype development expenses and computer services costs related to supporting computer tools used in the engineering and design process. Engineering and development expenses were $61.3 million and $47.6 million for 2003 and 2002, representing 20 and 19 percent of net revenues, respectively. Engineering and development expenses increased by $13.7 million, or 29 percent, in 2003 compared to 2002. This increase was due to our increased investment in Fibre Channel and IP engineering and development, which represented substantially all of our engineering and development efforts and expenses. Engineering expenses included $2.5 million and $2.1 million of amortized deferred stock-based compensation for 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consisted primarily of salaries, commissions and related expenses for personnel engaged in the marketing and sales of our products, as well as trade shows, product literature, promotional support costs and other advertising-related costs. Selling and marketing expenses were $19.0 million and $19.5 million for

2003 and 2002, representing six and eight percent of net revenues, respectively. Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $0.5 million, or two percent, in 2003 compared to 2002. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in travel-related expenses of $0.3 million. Selling and marketing expenses included $1.3 million and $1.4 million of amortized deferred stock-based compensation expenses for 2003 and 2002, respectively. As a portion of selling and marketing expenses is fixed, the expenses have not expanded at the same rate as our net revenues.

General and Administrative. Ongoing general and administrative expenses consisted primarily of salaries and related expenses for executives, financial accounting support, human resources, administrative services, professional fees and other associated corporate expenses. General and administrative expenses were $40.3 million and $13.0 million for 2003 and 2002 representing 13 and five percent of net revenues, respectively. General and administrative expenses increased by $27.3 million, or 210 percent, in 2003 compared to 2002. This increase was primarily due to a net charge of $27.0 million associated with the tentative settlements of securities class action and derivative lawsuits. Excluding the net charge of $27.0 million, general and administrative expenses were relatively flat as a portion of general and administrative expenses is fixed and the expenses have not expanded at the same rate as our net revenues. General and administrative expenses included $0.3 million and $0.2 million of amortized deferred stock-based compensation expenses for 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Amortization of Goodwill and Other Intangibles. Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles included the amortization of intangible assets with estimable lives in 2003 and 2002. Prior to the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Statement 142, or Statement 142, amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets included the amortization of goodwill. The amortization of intangibles was $5.8 million in 2003 and amortization of goodwill and other intangibles was $156.2 million in 2002, representing two and 61 percent of net revenues, respectively. In 2003, the amortization consisted of amortization for core technology and patents of $5.8 million and $7 thousand for completed technology. In 2002, the amortization consisted of $149.7 million for goodwill and $0.7 million for assembled workforce, as well as $5.8 million for core technology and patents and $9 thousand for completed technology. We completed our transitional goodwill impairment analysis under Statement 142 during the first quarter of fiscal 2003 with no impairment charges resulting. Our annual impairment test occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 with no impairment charges resulting. All intangible assets relate to the purchase of Giganet, completed during fiscal 2001.

Nonoperating Income. Nonoperating income consisted primarily of interest income, interest expense and other non-operating income and expense items such as the gain on the repurchase of convertible subordinated notes. Our nonoperating income increased by $28.3 million to $36.1 million in 2003 from $7.8 million in 2002. The increase is due primarily to a $28.7 million gain on the repurchase of convertible subordinated notes in 2003. Additionally, while lower interest rates caused lower interest percentage yields, the increase in our invested funds caused an increase in interest income to $13.0 million in 2003 from $11.2 million in 2002. The increase in interest income is offset in 2003 by a $2.1 million increase in interest expense due to us having convertible subordinated notes outstanding for the entire year in 2003 versus only a portion of 2002. While the repurchase of convertible subordinated notes with a face value of $136.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 had a proportionate reducing effect on the amount of interest expense recognized in 2003, convertible subordinated notes were only outstanding for approximately five months in 2002. In addition, other expense included a loss of $0.2 million on the sale of a strategic investment in 2002.

Income Taxes. In 2003, we recorded a tax provision in the amount of $40.3 million, or approximately 38 percent of our income before income taxes. We recorded a tax rate other than the statutory federal tax rate in 2003 principally due to state taxes in the United States. In 2002, we recorded a tax benefit in the amount of $0.3 million. We recorded a tax benefit at a rate other than the statutory federal tax rate in 2002 principally due to the non-deductibility of goodwill amortization, and offset by the benefits related primarily to the release of the valuation allowance associated with deferred tax assets. The release of the valuation allowance in 2002 resulted in an income tax benefit of $17.9 million. Our valuation allowance was released as it was determined that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax asset (related primarily to the net operating loss carryforwards and research credit carryforwards) would be realized due to our projected future taxable income. We expect to have a tax provision of approximately 38 percent in future periods.

The Internal Revenue Service recently completed an examination of our 1998 U.S. tax return, and no adjustments were made to the return.

Fiscal 2002 versus Fiscal 2001

Net Revenues. Net revenues for 2002 were $254.7 million, an increase of $9.4 million, or four percent, from $245.3 million in 2001. Our net revenues consist primarily of sales to OEMs and distribution sales, which include sales to distributors, value added resellers, system integrators and similar companies. The following chart details our net revenues by distribution channel for the 2002 and 2001 fiscal years:

A major factor in this shift from OEM to distribution net revenues is that one of our larger OEM customers, EMC, has sourced more product through distribution rather than purchasing it directly. Additionally, the widespread slowdown in technology investment has affected our OEM and distribution customers at different times and in varying degrees of severity. We continue to believe net revenues in this market are being generated primarily from OEMs taking product directly and through other distribution channels.

The following chart details our revenues by product line for the 2002 and 2001 fiscal years:

During the second half of 2001, we first experienced a downturn in Fibre Channel host bus adapter demand. We believe industry-wide decreases in end-user demand for technology solutions caused this downturn in demand and caused the slowing in net revenue growth generated from Fibre Channel products. IP Storage Networking products were added to our product offerings in the third quarter of 2001 with the acquisition of Giganet. Consequently, the increase of $2.7 million is due primarily to the inclusion of only approximately four months of net revenues for our IP Storage Networking products in 2001 compared to a full year in 2002. The decrease in net revenues from our traditional networking products was principally due to the ongoing maturation of these products and a decrease in our focus on these products. Our traditional networking products entered end-of-life status in 2000 and we expect that these will contribute negligible, if any, revenues in future periods.

In addition to direct sales, some of our larger OEM customers purchased or marketed products indirectly through distributors, resellers or other third parties. Customers with direct revenues only or total direct and indirect revenues, including customer-specific models purchased or marketed indirectly through distributors, resellers, and other third parties, of more than 10 percent were as follows:

We believe the decrease in domestic net revenues of $1.9 million, or one percent, is principally due to industry-wide decreases in end-user demand for technology solutions. We believe this increase in international net revenues of $11.3 million, or 12 percent, is a function of the overall size of the market for Fibre Channel products, increased market acceptance of our Fibre Channel products and an increase in demand from one international OEM customer.

Gross Profit. In 2002, gross profit increased $7.4 million, or six percent, to $131.9 million from $124.5 million in 2001. Gross margin increased to 52 percent in 2002 compared to 51 percent in 2001, but included a net excess and obsolete inventory charge of $10.1 million during 2002 associated with older-generation one gigabit products. Starting in late September 2001, some of our major customers made announcements that general economic conditions, exacerbated by the increase in economic uncertainty in the aftermath of the terrorist events of September 11, 2001, were having a negative impact on their financial results. The announcements made, and forecasts received, indicated deteriorating demand for our one gigabit products as these customers were expected to migrate to two gigabit products for future purchases. As a result, we recorded an estimated excess and obsolete inventory charge totaling $13.6 million during the first quarter of 2002. Subsequently, as a result of generally improved demand exceeding prior estimates and the sale of products for which a reserve had been recorded, we recorded a reduction of $3.6 million of this excess and obsolete inventory charge in 2002. Excluding the net excess and obsolete inventory charge of $10.1 million from 2002, gross profit would have been $141.9 million and gross margin would have been 56 percent. The increase in gross profit, excluding the net inventory charge, to $141.9 million in 2002 from $124.5 million in 2001 was primarily due to cost reductions for Fibre Channel products, higher Fibre Channel net revenues and changes in product mix, which more than offset the inclusion of costs associated with the former Giganet operations, acquired in March 2001. With an acquisition date of March 1, 2001, the former Giganet operations were included in expenses for approximately four months in 2001 compared to a full year in 2002. The improvement in gross margin in 2002, excluding the net inventory charge, to 56 percent compared to 51 percent in 2001, is primarily due to changes in product mix and the improved cost structures for our newer generation products. Additionally, cost of sales included $48 thousand and $24 thousand of amortized deferred compensation expense related to the acquisition of Giganet in 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Engineering and development. Engineering and development expenses were $47.6 million and $27.0 million for 2002 and 2001, representing 19 and 11 percent of net revenues, respectively. Engineering and development expenses increased by $20.6 million, or 76 percent, in 2002 compared to 2001. This increase of $20.6 million was due to our increased investment in Fibre Channel and Internet Protocol product development, which represented substantially all of our engineering and development expenses. The impact of the absorption of engineering and development expenses associated with the former

Giganet operations, which represented a major portion of our increased investment in Fibre Channel and Internet Protocol product development, for all of 2002 versus approximately four months of 2001, was an estimated increase of approximately $9.3 million. Engineering and development expenses included $2.1 million and $0.8 million of amortized deferred compensation expenses related to the acquisition of Giganet for 2002 and 2001, respectively. Due to the technical nature of our products, engineering support is a critical part of our strategy during both the development of our products and the support of our customers from product design through deployment into the market. Management intends to continue to make significant investments in the technical support and enhancement of our current products, as well as the continued development of new products.

Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses were $19.5 million and $16.7 million for 2002 and 2001, representing eight and seven percent of net revenues, respectively. The increase in selling and marketing expenses of $2.7 million, or 16 percent, was primarily due to increased salaries and commissions associated with additional employees and higher revenues of $2.4 million, as well as increased promotion and advertising costs of $0.3 million. These increases included the impact of the absorption of the former Giganet operations’ selling and marketing expenses for all of 2002 versus approximately four months of 2001. Selling and marketing expenses included $1.1 million and $0.5 million of amortized deferred compensation expenses related to the acquisition of Giganet for 2002 and 2001, respectively. Additionally, we recognized $0.3 million of amortized deferred compensation expense in both 2002 and 2001 associated with a change in the United Kingdom’s tax laws.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses were $13.0 million and $12.1 million for 2002 and 2001, respectively, representing five percent of net revenues in each year. General and administrative expenses remained relatively flat for 2002, compared to 2001, due to our emphasis on operating expense controls, which offset the absorption of our former Giganet operations’ general and administrative expenses for a full year in 2002 versus approximately four months in 2001. General and administrative expenses included $0.2 million and $0.1 million of amortized deferred compensation expenses related to the acquisition of Giganet for 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles. Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles included the amortization of goodwill and other purchased intangible assets that related to the purchase of Giganet, completed during 2001. The amortization of goodwill and other intangibles was $156.2 million and $52.1 million in 2002 and 2001, representing 61 and 21 percent of net revenues, respectively. In 2002 the amortization consisted of $149.7 million and $0.7 million for goodwill and assembled workforce, respectively; as well as $5.8 million for core technology and patents and $9 thousand for completed technology. In 2001, the amortization consisted of $49.9 million and $0.2 million for goodwill and assembled workforce, respectively; as well as $1.9 million for core technology and patents and $4 thousand for completed technology. Effective with our adoption of FASB Statement 142 at the beginning of our fiscal year 2003, we no longer incur amortization expense associated with goodwill and assembled workforce. We have completed our transitional impairment analysis under Statement 142 and no transitional impairment loss resulted upon the adoption of Statement 142 as of July 1, 2002.

In-process research and development. In-process research and development expense related to the purchase of Giganet, completed during 2001. No in-process research and development expenses were incurred in 2002. The in-process research and development expense was $22.3 million in 2001, representing nine percent of net revenues.

Nonoperating income. Nonoperating income consisted primarily of interest income partially offset by interest expense. Our nonoperating income decreased $6.5 million to $7.8 million in 2002, compared to $14.3 million in 2001. The decrease is due primarily to lower interest rates causing lower interest income on our investments as well as a loss of $0.2 million on the sale of strategic investment during 2002. The decrease in nonoperating income is also due to a gain of $1.9 million from the sale of a strategic investment during 2001 and $0.7 million of interest earned on a pre-acquisition note from Giganet during 2001. In 2002, interest expense of $3.4 million associated with our issuance of convertible subordinated notes in 2002 was included.

Income Taxes. In 2002, we recorded a tax benefit in the amount of $0.3 million. We recorded the tax benefit at a rate other than the statutory federal tax rate principally due to the non-deductibility of goodwill amortization, and offset by the benefits related primarily to the release of the valuation allowance associated with deferred tax assets. The release of the valuation allowance in 2002 resulted in an income tax benefit of $17.9 million. Our valuation allowance was released as it was determined that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax asset (related primarily to the net operating loss carryforwards and research credit carryforwards) would be realized due to our projection of future taxable income. In 2001, we recorded a tax provision in the amount of $32.2 million. We recorded a tax provision rather than a tax benefit in 2001, and at a rate other than the statutory federal tax rate, primarily due to the non-deductibility of both the goodwill amortization and the in-process research and development charge.

New Accounting Standards

The Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, recently reached a consensus on its tentative conclusions for EITF 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” EITF 00-21 provides accounting guidance for customer solutions where delivery or performance of products, services and/or performance may occur at different points in time or over different periods of time. Companies are required to adopt this consensus for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. We believe the adoption of EITF 00-21 will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” an interpretation of ARB No. 51. Interpretation 46 addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. Interpretation 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. We do not believe that we have any variable interest entities to which Interpretation 46 would apply.

In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement 149, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which requires prospective application for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except for contracts that exist in fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003, and for hedging relationships esignated after June 30, 2003. For existing contracts in fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003, the provisions of this Statement that relate to Statement 133 implementation issues should continue to be applied in accordance with their respective effective dates. Statement 149 requires that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly. We do not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” Statement 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. Statement 150 requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. Statement 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective for the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of a nonpublic entity for which this statement is effective for fiscal periods beginning December 15, 2003. We do not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on our financial position, results of its operations or liquidity.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements requires estimation and judgment that affect the reported amounts of net revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.

We have identified the following as critical accounting policies: revenue recognition; allowance for doubtful accounts; goodwill, other intangibles and long-lived assets; inventories; income taxes and stock-based compensation.

Revenue Recognition. Our revenue recognition policies are in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101. We recognize revenue at the time of shipment when title and risk of loss have passed, evidence of an arrangement has been obtained and collectibility has been reasonably assured. We make certain sales through two-tier distribution channels and have various distribution agreements with selected distributors and Master Value Added Resellers, or collectively the Distributors. These distribution agreements may be terminated upon written notice by either party. Additionally, these Distributors are generally given privileges to return a portion of inventory and to participate in price protection and cooperative marketing programs. Therefore, we recognize revenues on our standard products sold to our Distributors based on data received from the Distributors and management’s estimates to approximate the point that these products have been resold by the Distributors. As OEM-specific models sold to our Distributors are governed under the related OEM agreements rather than under these distribution agreements, we recognize revenue at the time of shipment to the Distributors when title and risk of loss have passed, evidence of an arrangement has been obtained and collectibility has been reasonably assured. Additionally, we maintain accruals and allowances for price protection and cooperative marketing programs.

For products with unspecified software upgrade rights, which are our legacy cLAN products that contribute negligible revenues, we apply the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position, or SOP, 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” as amended by SOP 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, ‘Software Revenue Recognition’ With Respect to Certain Transactions.” Under SOP 97-2, as amended by SOP 98-9, revenue is recognized from software licenses, provided the software has been delivered to the customer, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price charged to the customer is fixed or determinable at fair value, there are no significant Company obligations related to the sale and the resulting receivable is deemed collectible, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. In accordance with SOP 97-2, as amended by SOP 98-9, we have deferred the revenue over the upgrade period for certain legacy cLAN products with unspecified software upgrade rights.

Furthermore, we provide a warranty of between one and three years on our Fibre Channel and Internet Protocol products and provide a warranty of between one and five years on our traditional networking products. We record a provision for estimated warranty-related costs at the time of sale based on historical product return rates and our expected future costs of fulfilling our warranty obligations.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical write-offs as a percentage of net revenues. Although we have not experienced significant losses on accounts receivable historically, our accounts receivable are concentrated with a small number of customers. Consequently, any write off associated with one of these customers could have a significant impact on our allowance for doubtful accounts.

Goodwill, Other Intangibles and Long-Lived Assets. Goodwill and other intangibles resulting from the acquisition of Giganet are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. For assets with determinable useful lives, amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the respective intangible assets, ranging from two to seven years. We adopted Statement 142 effective July 1, 2002, and no longer amortize goodwill and other intangibles that have indeterminate useful lives. The adoption of Statement 142 had a significant effect on our results of operations. Prior to the adoption for Statement 142 we applied Statement 121 for goodwill, other intangibles and long-lived assets. We completed our transitional impairment analysis under Statement 142 and found no impairment upon the adoption of Statement 142 as of July 1, 2002. Our annual impairment test occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 with no impairment charges resulting. In accordance with Statement 142, goodwill and other intangibles that have indeterminate lives will be tested for impairment at least annually, but also on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred. Any future impairment loss could materially and adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.

We apply Statement 144, under which the recoverability of long-lived assets is assessed by determining whether the carrying value of an asset can be recovered through projected undiscounted future operating cash flows over its remaining life whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that we may not be able to recover the asset’s carrying value. The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on fair value, which is determined using projected discounted future operating cash flows. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. We use a standard cost system for purposes of determining cost. The standards are adjusted periodically to ensure they represent actual cost. We regularly compare forecasted demand and the composition of the forecast against inventory on hand and open purchase commitments in an effort to ensure the carrying value of inventory does not exceed net realizable value. Accordingly, we may have to record reductions to the carrying value of excess and obsolete inventory if forecasted demand decreases.

Income Taxes. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We regularly review historical and anticipated future pre-tax results of operations to determine whether we will be able to realize the benefit of our deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is required to reduce the potential deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the potential deferred tax asset will not be realized due to the lack of sufficient taxable income.

Stock-Based Compensation. We account for our stock-based awards to employees using the intrinsic value method. Stock-based awards to non-employees, if any, are recorded using the fair value method. See note 1 and note 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. Although we have no plans to adopt the fair value provisions of

Statement 123 unless required to under new accounting standards for all stock awards, if we were required to account for all stock-based awards based on the fair value method, it would have a material impact on our results of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 29, 2003, we had $423.2 million in working capital and $620.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, current investments and long-term investments. At June 30, 2002, we had $558.2 in working capital, and $631.8 in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, current investments and long-term investments. Our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $145.6 million from $282.6 million as of June 30, 2002, to $137.0 million as of June 29, 2003. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was due to our investing and financing activities, which used $153.5 million and $99.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, respectively. The cash and cash equivalents used by investing and financing activities were partially offset by our operating activities, which provided $107.1 million of cash and cash equivalents.

In 2003, investing activities, which primarily consisted of purchases of investments of $650.2 million, maturities of investments of $523.2 million and additions to property and equipment of $19.2 million, used $153.5 million of cash and cash equivalents. In 2002, investing activities, which primarily consisted of purchases of investments of $732.1 million, maturities of investments of $571.5 and additions to property and equipment of $9.7 million, used $172.2 million of cash and cash equivalents.

Financing activities used $99.2 million of cash and cash equivalents in 2003. This decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to our repurchase of approximately $136.5 million in face value of convertible subordinated notes at a discount to face value, spending $104.2 million. This decrease in cash and cash equivalents was partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of common stock under stock option plans and proceeds from the issuance of common stock under the employee stock purchase plan. In 2002, financing activities, which consisted primarily of the net proceeds from the issuance of convertible subordinated notes of $334.2 million as well as the repurchase of common stock and the proceeds from the issuance of common stock under stock option plans and the employee stock purchase plan, provided $329.1 million of cash and cash equivalents.

Operating activities provided $107.1 million of cash and cash equivalents in 2003, primarily from net income before non-cash activities. Such non-cash activities consisted primarily of the gain on repurchase of convertible subordinated notes, deferred income taxes, litigation settlements, depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, the amortization of other intangibles, deferred stock-based compensation and the tax benefit from the exercise of stock options. Additional increases in cash and cash equivalents were due to a decrease in inventories and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets. These increases to net cash provided by operating activities were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable, decrease in accrued liabilities, a decrease in income taxes payable and a decrease in accounts payable. In 2002, operating activities provided $89.3 million of cash and cash equivalents. This increase in cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities in 2002 was primarily due to our net income before non-cash activities such as the amortization of goodwill and other intangibles, depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, deferred stock-based compensation, the tax benefit from the exercise of stock options, and deferred income taxes, as well as changes in other working capital balances. The changes in other working capital balances in 2002 included the effect of the net excess and obsolete charge of $10.1 million associated with older generation one Gbps products.

Our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to four million common shares over the two years beginning in September 2001. The repurchase plan authorized us to make repurchases in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions with the timing and terms of any purchase to be determined by management based on market conditions. During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, we repurchased 1.0 million common shares and did not subsequently repurchase any additional shares during fiscal 2002 or 2003.

On January 29, 2002, we completed a $345.0 million private placement of 1.75 percent convertible subordinated notes due February 1, 2007. During the three months ended September 29, 2002, our Board of Directors expanded our repurchase program to include the repurchase of our convertible subordinated notes up to a purchase price of $125.0 million. Also during the three months ended September 29, 2002, we bought back at a discount to face value approximately $136.5 million in face value of our convertible subordinated notes, spending $104.2 million. The repurchased notes were cancelled, leaving convertible subordinated notes outstanding with a face value of $208.5 million, which, if converted, would result in the issuance of approximately 3.9 million shares. The resulting net pre-tax gain of approximately $28.7 million from the repurchase of the convertible subordinated notes was recorded for the three months ended September 29, 2002.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended March 30, 2003, our Board of Directors further expanded the repurchase program for the repurchase of our convertible subordinated notes up to a total purchase price of $190.0 million. The combined program authorizes the repurchase of up to 4.0 million shares of common stock, leaving 3.0 million common shares authorized for repurchase at June 29, 2003, and up to $190.0 million to be spent on the repurchase of convertible subordinated notes, leaving $85.8 million authorized for repurchase at June 29, 2003.

Subsequent to the year ended June 29, 2003, our Board of Directors expanded our stock repurchase program to include the repurchase of all of our convertible subordinated notes and extend the entire program to June 2005. The combined program authorizes the repurchase of up to 4.0 million shares of common stock and the repurchase of all of the convertible subordinated notes. Also subsequent to the year ended June 29, 2003, and through August 27, 2003, we bought back approximately $93.9 million of our convertible subordinated notes at a discount to face value, spending approximately $87.3 million. The repurchased notes were cancelled, leaving convertible subordinated notes outstanding with a face value of approximately $114.7 million that, if converted, would result in the issuance of approximately 2.1 million shares. The resulting net pre-tax gain of approximately $4.7 million from the repurchase of the convertible subordinated notes will be reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2004.

We were previously required to enter into end-of-life purchase agreements for two key inventory components as the sole-source manufacturers of these components announced their discontinued manufacturing of the components. As of June 29, 2003, our remaining purchase obligation for the two components was $13.8 million.

For the three months ended March 30, 2003, we recorded a net $27.0 million before-tax charge associated with the tentative settlements of securities class action and derivative lawsuits. The net $27.0 million charge included $39.5 million expected to be paid to plaintiffs during fiscal 2004, less an estimated $12.5 million probable minimum recovery from our insurance carriers expected in fiscal 2004. In addition to the $12.5 million, our litigation settlements receivable based upon our probable minimum recovery at June 29, 2003, also includes $0.6 million designated for related legal fees. At June 29, 2003, all related unpaid legal fees have been accrued as a liability.

In 2002, we entered into an agreement to relocate our headquarters locally in Costa Mesa, California. We will finance the build to suit construction phase of the approximately 180 thousand square feet facility with our own capital, before beginning a 10-year lease term with an option to buy the land and buildings during the first six months of the lease term. If we do not exercise our option to purchase the facility, the landlord will obtain permanent financing and reimburse us for the construction costs. Construction on our new corporate headquarters is progressing. If purchased, we believe the total cost, including the land, building and other related capital expenditures, would be approximately $47.0 million. Our total gross undiscounted financial commitment for the 10-year lease term would be approximately $45.9 million. At June 29, 2003, we had restricted cash of $9.3 million held in escrow associated with the construction of the headquarters. In addition, we have a $1.0 million letter of credit in place in lieu of a rental deposit on one of our other facilities.

As part of our commitment to storage networking product development, including Fibre Channel and IP Networking, we expect to continue our investments in property and equipment, most notably for additional engineering equipment, continued enhancement of our global IT infrastructure and the local relocation of our Costa Mesa, California facility. In addition, the plaintiffs in the tentative settlements of securities class action and derivative lawsuits will be paid $39.5 million during fiscal 2004. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents balances, facilities and equipment leases, investments and anticipated cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to support our working capital needs and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.

As described above and in note 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, the following summarizes our contractual obligations at June 29, 2003, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in future periods:

Item 7a. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

At June 29, 2003, our investment portfolio consisted primarily of fixed income securities, excluding those classified as cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, of $474.1 million (see note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements). We have the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. Currently, the carrying amount of these securities approximates fair market value. However, the fair market value of these securities is subject to interest rate risk and would decline in value if market interest rates increased. If market interest rates were to increase immediately and uniformly by 10 percent from the levels existing as of June 29, 2003, the decline in the fair value of the portfolio would not be material to our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. However, if interest rates decreased and securities within our portfolio matured and were re-invested in securities with lower interest rates, interest income would decrease in the future. Our 1.75 percent convertible subordinated notes are due February 1, 2007.

Foreign Currency

We have executed and will continue to execute transactions in foreign currencies. As a result, we may be exposed to financial market risk resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency rates, particularly the British Pound and the Euro. Given the relatively small number of foreign currency transactions, we do not believe that its potential exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency rates is significant.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Emulex Corporation:

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Emulex Corporation and subsidiaries as listed in the accompanying index. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the financial statement schedule as listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Emulex Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 29, 2003, and June 30, 2002, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 29, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective July 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”

EMULEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 29, 2003, June 30, 2002, and July 1, 2001

Note 1   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
    Principles of Consolidation
 
    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Emulex Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Emulex”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
    Fiscal Year
 
    The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest June 30. Fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001 were each comprised of 52 weeks.
 
    Reclassifications
 
    Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ information to be consistent with the 2003 presentation.
 
    Foreign Currency Translation
 
    The Company has designated the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. Accordingly, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured into the U.S. dollar at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured into the U.S. dollar at the appropriate historical exchange rates. Income and expense amounts denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured into the U.S. dollar at the average exchange rates during the period, except for expense items related to non-monetary accounts, which are remeasured at the appropriate historical exchange rates. Gains and losses resulting from remeasurement are included in other nonoperating income (expenses) in the period incurred.
 
    Cash Equivalents
 
    The Company classifies all corporate bonds and commercial paper with original maturities of three months or less as short-term investments. All other highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less and deposits in money market funds are considered to be cash equivalents.
 
    Investments
 
    The Company determines the appropriate balance sheet classification of its investments in debt securities based on maturity date at the time of purchase and evaluates the classification at each balance sheet date. Debt securities are classified as held to maturity as the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held to maturity securities are stated at amortized cost. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity value. Such amortization and accretion are included in interest income. The Company’s investments in debt securities are diversified among high credit quality securities in accordance with the Company’s investment policy.
 
    Inventories
 
    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company uses a standard cost system for purposes of determining cost. The standards are adjusted periodically to ensure they represent actual cost. The Company regularly compares forecasted demand and the composition of the forecast for its products against inventory on hand and open purchase commitments to ensure the carrying value of inventory does not exceed net realizable value. Accordingly, the Company may have to record reductions to the carrying value of excess and obsolete inventory if forecasted demand decreases.
 
    Property and Equipment
 
    Property and equipment are stated at cost, and depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of up to ten years.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 29, 2003, June 30, 2002, and July 1, 2001

    Long-Lived Assets
 
    The Company applies Statement 144, under which the recoverability of long-lived assets is assessed by determining whether the carrying value of an asset can be recovered through projected undiscounted future operating cash flows over its remaining life whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the Company may not be able to recover the asset’s carrying value. The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on fair value, which is determined using projected discounted future operating cash flows. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
 
    Software Development Costs
 
    Capitalized software development costs can consist of costs to purchase software to be used within the Company’s products and costs to develop software internally. In accordance with Statement 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed,” capitalization of purchased software occurs only if technological feasibility has been established. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of recoverability of any capitalized software development costs require judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including but not limited to, anticipated future gross revenue, estimated economic life and changes in software and hardware technologies. Further, Statement 86 requires that at each balance sheet date the unamortized costs of a computer software product be compared to the net realizable value of that product. The amount by which the unamortized costs exceeds the net realizable value of a product is to be written off. No purchased or internally developed software costs were capitalized in 2003, 2002 or 2001. As of June 29, 2003, and June 30, 2002, there were no unamortized costs of capitalized purchased software included in intangible assets.
 
    Goodwill and Other Intangibles
 
    Goodwill and other intangibles resulting from the acquisition of Giganet are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. For assets with determinable useful lives, amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the respective intangible assets, ranging from two to seven years. The Company adopted Statement 142 effective July 1, 2002, and no longer amortizes goodwill and other intangibles that have indeterminate useful lives. Prior to the adoption of Statement 142 the Company applied Statement 121 for goodwill, other intangibles and long-lived assets. The Company completed its transitional impairment analysis under Statement 142 and found no impairment upon the adoption of Statement 142 as of July 1, 2002. The Company’s annual impairment test occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 with no impairment charges resulting. In accordance with Statement 142, goodwill and other intangibles that have indeterminate lives will be tested for impairment at least annually, but also on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates that it is more likely than not than an impairment loss has been incurred.
 
    Revenue Recognition
 
    The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101. The Company recognizes revenue at the time of shipment when title and risk of loss have passed, evidence of an arrangement has been obtained and collectibility has been reasonably assured. The Company makes certain sales through two-tier distribution channels and has various distribution agreements with selected distributors and Master Value Added Resellers, or collectively the Distributors. These distribution agreements may be terminated upon written notice by either party. Additionally, these Distributors are generally given privileges to return a portion of inventory and to participate in price protection and cooperative marketing programs. Therefore, the Company recognizes revenues on its standard products sold to its Distributors based on data received from the Distributors and management’s estimates to approximate the point that these products have been resold by the Distributors. As OEM-specific models sold to the Company’s Distributors are governed under the related OEM agreements rather than under these distribution agreements, the Company recognizes revenue at the time of shipment to the Distributors when title and risk of loss have passed, evidence of an arrangement has been obtained and collectibility has been reasonably assured. Additionally, the Company maintains accruals and allowances for price protection and cooperative marketing programs.

    For products with unspecified software upgrade rights, which are the Company’s legacy cLAN products that contribute negligible revenues, the Company applies the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position, or (“SOP”), 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” as amended by SOP 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, ‘Software Revenue Recognition’ With Respect to Certain Transactions.” Under SOP 97-2, as amended by SOP 98-9, revenue is recognized from software licenses, provided the software has been delivered to the customer, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price charged to the customer is fixed or determinable at fair value, there are no significant Company obligations related to the sale and the resulting receivable is deemed collectible, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. In accordance with SOP 97-2, as amended by SOP 98-9, the Company has deferred the revenue over the upgrade period for certain legacy cLAN products with unspecified software upgrade rights.
 
    Furthermore, the Company provides a warranty of between one and three years on its Fibre Channel and Internet Protocol products and provides a warranty of between one and five years on its traditional networking products. The Company records a provision for estimated warranty-related costs at the time of sale based on historical product return rates and on the Company’s expected future costs of fulfilling its warranty obligations.
 
    Research and Development
 
    Research and development costs, including costs related to the development of new products and process technology, are expensed as incurred.
 
    Income Taxes
 
    The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company regularly reviews historical and anticipated future pre-tax results of operations to determine whether the Company will be able to realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is required to reduce the potential deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the potential deferred tax asset will not be realized due to the lack of sufficient taxable income.
 
    Net Income (Loss) per Share
 
    Basic net income (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. Such shares are not included when there is a loss as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
 
    Comprehensive Income
 
    The Company had no transactions, other than net income (loss), that would be considered other comprehensive income.
 
    Stock-Based Compensation
 
    The Company accounts for its stock-based awards to employees using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations. Stock-based awards to non- employees, if any, are recorded using the fair value method. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for all its stock options under Statement 123, the Company’s net income (loss) would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below:

    The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

                         
    2003   2002   2001
   
 
 
Risk-free interest rate
    1.7 %     3.7 %     5.0 %

Dividend yield

    3.6       3.5       3.6  
Weighted-average fair value per option granted
  $ 15.23     $ 14.99     $ 25.87  

    The Black-Scholes model, as well as other currently accepted option valuation models, was developed to estimate the fair value of freely-tradable, fully-transferable options without vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from the Company’s stock option plans. These models also require highly subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time until exercise, which greatly affect the calculated fair value on the grant date.
 
    Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
    Management believes the fair values of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate carrying value. The net deferred debt issuance costs associated with the convertible subordinated notes are included in other assets and the convertible subordinated notes are shown at cash settlement value.
 
    Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
    The company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical write-offs as a percentage of net revenues. Although the Company has not experienced significant losses on accounts receivable historically, its accounts receivable are concentrated with a small number of customers. Consequently, any write off associated with one of these customers could have a significant impact on the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts.
 
    Business and Credit Concentrations
 
    Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments and accounts receivable. Cash, cash equivalents, and investments, both short-term and long-term, are primarily maintained at five major financial institutions in the United States. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits, if any.

    The Company principally invests in U.S. Government Agency securities and corporate bonds and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one entity.
 
    The Company sells its products to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) and distributors in the computer storage and server industry. Consequently, the Company’s net revenues and accounts receivables are concentrated. Direct sales to the Company’s top five customers accounted for 68 percent, 65 percent and 72 percent of total net revenues in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The level of sales to any single customer may vary and the loss of any one of these customers, or a decrease in the level of sales to any one of these customers, could have a material adverse impact on the Company. Furthermore, although the Company sells to customers throughout the world, sales in the United States and Europe accounted for approximately 93 percent of the Company’s net revenues in 2003, and the Company expects for the foreseeable future, these sales will account for the substantial majority of the Company’s revenues. Sales to customers are denominated in U.S. dollars. Consequently, the Company believes its foreign currency risk is minimal. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally requires no collateral from its customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts. Historically, the Company has not experienced significant losses on accounts receivable.
 
    Additionally, the Company currently relies on single and limited supply sources for several key components used in the manufacture of its products. Additionally, the company relies on a total of three sites from two Electronics Manufacturing Services (“EMS”) providers for the production of its products. The inability or unwillingness of any single and limited source suppliers or the inability or unwillingness of any of the Company’s EMS provider sites to fulfill supply and production requirements, respectively, could materially impact future operating results.
 
    Use of Estimates
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
    Segment Information
 
    The Company applies Statement 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” Statement 131 uses the “management” approach to determine segments of an enterprise. The management approach is based on the method by which management organizes its operating segments within the enterprise. Operating segments, as defined by Statement 131, are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Statement 131 also requires disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The Company operates in one operating segment, networking products, for purposes of Statement 131.
 
    Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
 
    Effective July 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” under which the recoverability of long-lived assets is assessed by determining whether the carrying value of an asset can be recovered through projected undiscounted future operating cash flows over its remaining life. The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on fair value, which is determined using projected discounted future operating cash flows. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The adoption of Statement 144 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
 
    In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,” which addresses the disclosure to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees. The required disclosures are included in note 8. Interpretation 45 also requires the recognition of a liability by a guarantor at

50


Table of Contents

EMULEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 29, 2003, June 30, 2002, and July 1, 2001

    the inception of certain guarantees. Interpretation 45 requires the guarantor to recognize a liability for the non-contingent component of the guarantee. This is the obligation to stand ready to perform in the event that specified triggering events or conditions occur. The initial measurement of this liability is the fair value of the guarantee at inception. The recognition of the liability is required even if it is not probable that payments will be required under the guarantee or if the guarantee was issued with a premium payment or as part of a transaction with multiple elements. As noted above, the Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of Interpretation 45 and has applied the recognition and measurement provisions for all guarantees entered into or modified after December 31, 2002. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
 
    In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.” Statement 148 amends the disclosure requirements in Statement 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” for annual periods ending after December 15, 2002, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of Statement 148 during the three months ended March 30, 2003. Effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002, Statement 148 also provides three alternative transition methods for companies that choose to adopt the fair value measurement provisions of Statement 123. Should the Company be required to adopt the fair value measurement provisions of Statement 123 and Statement 148, it would have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. However, the Company has no plans to adopt the fair value measurement provisions of Statement 123 unless required to under new accounting standards and, as such, the adoption of Statement 148 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Note 2    Business Combination

    On March 1, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of Giganet, Inc., a privately-held developer of storage networking products based on Ethernet and IP technologies and a Massachusetts corporation (“Giganet”), pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 7, 2000 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated February 7, 2001, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Giganet, GEMX Network Sub, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Stockholder Representatives identified therein. As a result of the merger (the “Merger”), GEMX Network Sub, Inc. merged with and into Giganet and Giganet became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Emulex. Effective July 2, 2001, Giganet was merged with and into Emulex Corporation, a California corporation that is the primary operating subsidiary of the Company.
 
    In connection with the Merger, the Company issued an aggregate of approximately 6.7 million shares of Emulex common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Giganet common stock and preferred stock. Of the total shares issued, 0.8 million shares were held in escrow for a period of one year to secure indemnification obligations of Giganet under the terms of the Merger Agreement. In addition, the Company reserved for issuance an aggregate of approximately 1.3 million shares of its common stock for issuance upon exercise of Giganet options assumed by the Company.
 
    The Merger has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company recorded a one-time charge for purchased in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) expenses of $22.3 million related to the acquisition during the third quarter of 2001. The Company assessed and allocated values to IPR&D. The values assigned to these projects were determined by identifying projects that have economic value but that had not yet reached technological feasibility and that have no alternative future use. These products had not been released to the market as of the date of the Merger, but the features and functionality of the products had been defined.
 
    The IPR&D expenses related primarily to three significant internal product development efforts. The first project accounted for $11.0 million of the expenses and was designed using commercially available third party one Gbps components to implement Virtual Interface (“VI”) over Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (“TCP/IP”) thereby greatly enhancing the speeds of data traffic on existing Internet Protocol (“IP”) networks. The second project accounted for $4.1 million of the IPR&D expenses and was internally designing a one gigabit per

    second (“Gbps”) custom application-specific computer chip (“ASIC”) to run Virtual Interface over Internet Protocol (“VI over IP”) at a cost reduced point compared to the first project. The third project accounted for $7.2 million of the IPR&D expenses and was a single ASIC design capable of running multiple protocols over IP at 10 Gbps speed.
 
    The first project was complete from a board layout perspective but still required firmware, hardware and operating system integration. At the time of the acquisition, the first project was 60% complete. The second project had completed requirement and architectural specifications and was 16% complete at the time of the acquisition. Remaining efforts to complete the second project included delivery of design specifications to the foundry, manufacture of prototypes, and testing of those prototypes against the original specifications. This development would include routing, tape out, prototyping, integration, testing and release processes. The third project, a 10 Gbps multi-protocol IP chip, was complete from a marketing requirements perspective and was 20% complete at the time of the acquisition. Remaining efforts to complete the third project included architectural specifications, delivery of design specifications to the foundry, manufacture of prototypes, and testing of those prototypes against the original specifications. This development would include architectural design, routing, tape out, prototyping, integration, testing and release processes.
 
    At the time of the acquisition, the first project was anticipated to be completed and brought to market in July of 2001 as requirements, function specifications and discrete board layouts had been completed. The estimated costs to complete the first project were $1.9 million. At the time of the acquisition, the second project was anticipated to be completed and brought to market in September 2002 as functional and architectural requirements had been completed. The estimated costs to complete the second project were $4.6 million. At the time of the acquisition, the third project was anticipated to be completed and brought to market in the first calendar quarter of 2003 as the project was complete from a marketing requirements perspective only. The estimated costs to complete the third project were $5.5 million.
 
    Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company reviewed the three IPR&D projects. The first project was required to fulfill a contractual obligation for implementing VI over IP with one of the Company’s customers and was completed substantially on time and met the Company’s customer’s needs.
 
    The second project was a follow on to the first project and was designed to integrate the functions and technologies of multiple chips into a single ASIC that would allow for the transporting of storage data over an IP network at one Gbps, which was similar to what the Company’s HBA products do on a Fibre Channel network. By the end of Q1 fiscal 2002, the transition to two Gbps Fibre Channel products was accelerating, and at the same time deployment of new technologies was slowing down due to the overall slowdown in the economy in general, and information technology spending specifically. Because of the economic conditions, combined with the significant performance advantages of two Gbps Fibre Channel versus the one Gbps IP solutions, the Company did not believe the second project would be a commercially feasible product by the time it reached market. Consequently, the Company decided to cancel this project and focus on 10 Gbps for both Fibre Channel and IP.
 
    The third project was a 10 Gbps program for IP that was in the early stages of development at the time of the acquisition. Although the marketing requirements had been defined, the architecture had not been completed. At the time of acquisition, the Company was also working on the requirements for a 10 Gbps Fibre Channel product. After completing the acquisition, the Company reviewed both the 10 Gbps Fibre Channel and the 10 Gbps IP projects to determine how best to leverage the required resources to bring both products to market. Because of the similar operating environments and performance requirements for both technologies, the Company decided to cancel the third project and develop a common architecture that could leverage the Company’s existing drivers, as that would provide the greatest advantage for both Fibre Channel and IP 10 Gbps technology.
 
    The values of these projects were determined using the Income Forecast Method. In applying the Income Forecast Method, the value of the acquired technologies was estimated by discounting to present value the free cash flows generated by the products with which the technologies are associated, over the remaining economic lives of the technologies. To distinguish between the cash flows attributable to the underlying technology and cash flows attributable to other assets available for generating product revenues, adjustments were made to provide for a fair

    return to fixed assets, working capital and other assets that contribute to value. The estimates were based on the following assumptions:

    The estimated revenues assume average compound annual revenue growth rates of 102 percent to 316 percent during fiscal years 2002 through 2008, depending on the product line. Estimated total revenues from the purchased in-process products peak in the year 2007 and decline in 2008 as other new products are expected to be introduced by the Company. These projections are based on management’s estimates over the expected remaining economic lives of the technologies.
 
    IPR&D value was comprised of three on-going projects. The estimated cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues is expected to range from 50 percent to 60 percent.
 
    The discount rates used in the valuation reflect the relative risk of the product lines. For IPR&D projects, the discount rates ranged from 30 percent to 45 percent, which was based on the amount and risk of effort remaining to complete the respective development projects.

    The Company believes that the foregoing assumptions used in determining the income forecast associated with the IPR&D products were reasonable. No assurance can be given, however, that the underlying assumptions used to estimate the income forecast, the ultimate revenues and costs on such projects or the events associated with such projects, will transpire as estimated.
 
    The total purchase price and allocation among the fair value of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities (including purchased IPR&D) are summarized as follows (in thousands):

    Starting in late September 2001, some of the Company’s major customers made announcements that general economic conditions, exacerbated by the increase in economic uncertainty in the aftermath of the terrorist events of September 11, 2001, were having a negative impact on their financial results. The announcements made, and forecasts received, indicated deteriorating demand for the Company’s one Gbps products as these customers were expected to migrate to two Gbps products for future purchases. As a result, the Company recorded an excess and obsolete inventory charge totaling $13.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2001. Subsequently, as a result of the sale of previously reserved products, the Company recorded a reduction of $3.6 million of this excess and obsolete inventory reserve in 2002, and a further reduction of $3.3 million in 2003. After initially recording its one Gbps reserve in September 2001, the Company has subsequently reduced this reserve by a total of $6.9 million through June 29, 2003, as previously reserved inventory has been sold. Overall, the Company has been able to recover a significant portion of this reserved inventory that was not expected based on the Company’s forecasts and the forecasts received from its customers when this excess and obsolete inventory charge was recorded. In addition to the sale of some of this previously reserved product, the Company has also scrapped $3.3 million of this reserved inventory and negotiated and paid cancellation charges of $0.2 million through June 29, 2003, related to this excess and obsolete inventory charge since it was initially recorded. As of June 29, 2003, the remaining reserve for one Gbps products was $3.2 million. However, as with all inventory, the Company regularly compares forecasted demand for its one Gbps products against inventory on hand and open purchase commitments and accordingly, the Company may have to record reductions to the carrying value of excess and obsolete inventory if forecasted demand decreases. As of June 29, 2003, the Company had unreserved one Gbps inventory on hand of approximately $0.9 million.

    Effective July 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and, as a result, the Company ceased amortizing goodwill of $397.3 million beginning July 1, 2002. Included in goodwill is $1.8 million of assembled workforce that was reclassified to goodwill effective July 1, 2002. In conjunction with the adoption of Statement 142, the Company completed its transitional goodwill impairment test for its one reporting unit during the three months ended September 29, 2002, with no impairment charges resulting. The Company’s annual impairment test occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 with no impairment charges resulting. Goodwill will be tested for impairment at least annually, but also on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred. In 2002, $3.8 million of tax benefits related to the release of valuation allowance were allocated from goodwill to deferred tax assets (see note 13).
 
    The remaining intangible assets subject to amortization are being amortized on a straight-line basis over seven years. Aggregated amortization expense for other intangibles for the twelve months ended June 29, 2003, was $5.8 million and for the next five fiscal years is expected to be (in thousands):

Note 9 Convertible Subordinated Notes

    On January 29, 2002, the Company completed a $345.0 million private placement of 1.75 percent convertible subordinated notes due February 1, 2007. Interest is payable in cash on February 1 and August 1 of each year beginning August 1, 2002. These notes may be converted by the holder at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion price of $53.84 per share, subject to the potential adjustments described in the terms of the notes issued. The Company may redeem the notes on or after February 5, 2005, in whole or in part. The Company incurred associated issuance costs of approximately $11.0 million (see note 6).
     
    During the three months ended September 29, 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors expanded the Company’s stock repurchase program to include repurchase of the Company’s convertible subordinated notes as well as shares of the Company’s common stock. The combined program authorized the repurchase of up to 4.0 million shares with 3.0 million shares of common stock still available for repurchase at June 29, 2003, and up to an additional $125.0 million to be spent on the repurchase of the convertible subordinated notes. In August 2002, the Company bought back at a discount to face value approximately $136.5 million in face value of its convertible subordinated notes, spending $104.2 million. The repurchased notes were cancelled, leaving convertible subordinated notes outstanding with a face value of $208.5 million, which, if converted, would result in the issuance of approximately 3.9 million shares. The resulting net pre-tax gain of $28.7 million from the repurchase of the convertible subordinated notes was recorded for the three months ended September 29, 2002. During the three months ended March 30, 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors further expanded the repurchase of the convertible subordinated notes up to a total purchase price of $190.0 million, leaving $85.8 million authorized for repurchase at June 29, 2003 (see note 17).

Note 10 Employee Retirement Savings Plan

    The Company has a pretax savings and profit sharing plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code for substantially all domestic employees. Under the plan, eligible employees are able to contribute up to 15 percent of their compensation not to exceed the maximum IRS deferral amount. Company discretionary contributions match up to four percent of a participant’s compensation. The Company’s contributions under this plan were $1.2 million, $1.1 million and $0.5 million in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
 
    The Company’s eligible employees in the United Kingdom are offered a similar plan, which allows the employees to contribute up to 15 percent of their compensation. Company discretionary contributions match up to four percent of a participant’s compensation. The Company’s contributions under this plan were $18 thousand, $15 thousand and $7 thousand in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

    In addition to the minimum leases payments illustrated above, the Company begins a lease on its new corporate headquarters with the option to buy the land and buildings during the first six months of the lease term, upon occupation in fiscal 2004. If the Company were to not purchase the land and buildings, its additional lease commitments would be approximately $2.2 million in 2004, depending on occupancy date, $4.5 million per year from fiscal 2005 through fiscal 2007, and $30.2 million, in total, for 2008 and after.
 
    Litigation
 
    Beginning on or about February 20, 2001, the Company and certain of its officers and directors were named as defendants in a number of securities class action lawsuits filed in the United States District Court, Central District of California. The plaintiffs in the actions represent purchasers of the Company’s common stock during various periods ranging from January 18, 2001, through February 9, 2001. The complaints allege that the Company and certain of its officers and directors made misrepresentations and omissions in violation of sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The complaints generally seek compensatory damages, costs and attorney’s fees in an unspecified amount. Pursuant to a Stipulation and Court Order, the actions were consolidated. On August 24, 2001, an Amended and Consolidated Complaint was filed. Defendants’ motion to dismiss was denied by way of an order dated March 7, 2002. Defendants’ motion for reconsideration of that order was denied by an order dated May 3, 2002. Plaintiffs commenced discovery. The court certified the class action by an order dated September 30, 2002. Following these class action lawsuits, a number of derivative cases were filed in state courts in California and Delaware, and in federal court in California, alleging that certain officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company in connection with the events alleged in the class action lawsuits. The derivative cases filed in California state courts were consolidated in Orange County Superior Court and plaintiffs filed a consolidated and amended complaint on January 31, 2002. On May 10, 2002, the Orange County Superior Court ordered that the consolidated actions be stayed pending resolution of the federal class action described above. The derivative suit in Delaware was dismissed on August 28, 2001. On March 15, 2002, the United States District Court for the Central District of California ordered that the federal derivative action be stayed pending resolution of the class action lawsuit described above. The Company has received inquiries about events giving rise to the lawsuits from the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Nasdaq Stock Market. On April 22, 2003, the Company entered into two Memoranda of Understanding (“MOU’s”) agreeing to terms of settlement of both the class action and derivative litigation. The MOU’s call for settlement payments totaling $39.0 million, plus up to $0.5 million of the cost of providing notice to the class members. A Final Order and Judgment was approved by the court in the derivative cases on May 30, 2003, based on a Stipulation of Settlement of Derivative Claims dated as of May 13, 2003. An Order Preliminarily Approving Settlement and Providing for Notice was approved by the court in the federal class action on July 11, 2003, based on a Stipulation of Settlement dated as of July 3, 2003. A Settlement Hearing is scheduled for October 15, 2003, in the federal class action. Insurance proceeds are expected to reimburse the Company for a minimum

    of approximately $12.5 million of the settlement payments, in addition to $2.5 million for legal expenses and the probable net effect of the settlements to the Company, based on the Company’s current minimum estimate of reimbursement from the insurance carriers, is expected to be approximately $27.0 million, or $16.7 million after tax. All amounts were recorded during 2003. We commenced an arbitration proceeding against three of our insurance carriers in June 2003 seeking reimbursement of $30.0 million for the defense and settlement costs.
 
    Additionally, the Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
 
    Other Commitments and Contingencies
 
    The Company recorded an estimated excess and obsolete inventory charge of $13.6 million associated with older-generation one Gbps products during the three months ended September 30, 2001. Subsequently, as a result of the sale of previously reserved products, the Company recorded a reduction of $3.6 million of this excess and obsolete inventory reserve in 2002 and a further reduction of $3.3 million for fiscal 2003. After initially recording its one Gbps reserve in September 2001, the Company has subsequently reduced this reserve by a total of $6.9 million through June 29, 2003, as previously reserved inventory has been sold. Overall, the Company has been able to recover a significant portion of this reserved inventory that was not expected based on the Company’s forecast and the forecasts received from its customers when this excess and obsolete inventory charge was recorded. In addition to the sale of some of this previously reserved product, the Company has also scrapped $3.3 million of this reserved inventory and negotiated and paid cancellation charges of $0.2 million through June 29, 2003, related to this excess and obsolete inventory charge since it was initially recorded. As of June 29, 2003, the remaining reserve for one Gbps products was $3.2 million. However, as with all inventory, the Company regularly compares forecasted demand for its one Gbps products against inventory on hand and open purchase commitments and accordingly, the Company may have to record reductions to the carrying value of excess and obsolete inventory if forecasted demand decreases. As of June 29, 2003, the Company had unreserved one Gbps inventory on hand of approximately $0.9 million.
 
    The Company was previously required to enter into end-of-life purchase agreements for two key inventory components as the sole-source manufacturers of these components announced their discontinued manufacturing of the components. As of June 29, 2003, the Company’s remaining purchase obligation for the two components was $13.8 million. In relation to the excess and obsolete inventory charge associated with older generation one Gbps products, the Company has accrued $1.4 million, which represented the Company’s commitment to purchase a key component in excess of forecasted demand and as a result was reserved.
 
    During the third quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company entered into an agreement to relocate its headquarters locally in Costa Mesa, California. The Company will finance the build to suit construction phase of the new facility with its own capital, before beginning a 10-year lease term with an option to buy the land and buildings during the first six months of the lease term. If the Company does not exercise its option to purchase the facility, the landlord will obtain permanent financing and reimburse the Company for the construction costs. Construction on the Company’s new corporate headquarters is progressing. If purchased, the Company believes the total cost, including the land, building and other related capital expenditures, would be approximately $47.0 million. The Company’s total gross undiscounted financial commitment for the 10-year lease term would be approximately $45.9 million. At June 29, 2003, the Company had restricted cash of $9.3 million held in escrow associated with the construction of the headquarters. In addition, the Company has a $1.0 million letter of credit in place in lieu of a rental deposit on one of its other facilities

Note 12 Stockholders’ Equity

    Stock Repurchase Program
 
    The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 4.0 million common shares over the two years beginning in September 2001. The repurchase plan authorized the Company to make repurchases in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions with the timing and terms of any purchase to be determined by

    management based on market conditions. In 2002, the Company repurchased 1.0 million common shares, leaving 3.0 million common shares authorized for repurchase at June 29, 2003.
 
    During the three months ended September 29, 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors expanded the Company’s stock repurchase program to include the repurchase of the Company’s convertible subordinated notes as well as shares of the Company’s stock. The combined program authorizes the repurchase of up to an additional $125.0 million to be spent on the repurchase of convertible subordinated notes. In August 2002, the Company bought back at a discount to face value approximately $136.5 million in face value of its convertible subordinated notes, spending $104.2 million. The repurchased notes were cancelled, leaving convertible subordinated notes outstanding with a face value of $208.5 million, which if converted, would result in the issuance of approximately 3.9 million shares. The resulting net pre-tax gain of $28.7 million from the repurchase of the convertible subordinated notes was recorded for the three months ended September 29, 2002. During the three months ended March 30, 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors further expanded the repurchase of convertible subordinated notes up to a total purchase price of $190.0 million, leaving $85.8 million of convertible subordinated notes and three million shares authorized for repurchase at June 29, 2003 (see note 17).
 
    Stock Option Plans
 
    Under the Company’s Employee Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), which offers stock options to both domestic and international employees, the exercise price of options granted will not be less than the fair market value at the date of grant. The total number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the Plan is 33.7 million, and 4.0 million shares were available for grant at June 29, 2003. Unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board administering the Plan, each option granted under the Plan becomes exercisable at the rate of 25 percent one year after the date of grant with an additional 6.25 percent becoming exercisable each three-month interval thereafter.
 
    On October 9, 1997, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Emulex Corporation 1997 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “Director Plan”), which, as amended, allows for a maximum of 1.7 million shares of common stock, and 0.4 million shares were available for grant at June 29, 2003. The Director Plan currently provides that an option to purchase 30 thousand shares of common stock of the Company will be granted to each non-employee director of the Company upon the first date that such director becomes eligible to participate. These options shall be exercisable as to one-third of the shares on each anniversary of the grant if the director is still a director of the Company. In addition, on each yearly anniversary of the date of the initial grant, each eligible director shall automatically be granted an additional option to purchase 10 thousand shares of common stock. These options shall be exercisable as to one-half of the shares on the six month anniversary, one quarter on the nine month anniversary and one quarter on the year anniversary of the grant date. Options granted under the Director Plan are non-qualified stock options. The exercise price per option granted will not be less than the fair market value at the date of grant. No option granted under the Director Plan shall be exercisable after the expiration of the earlier of (i) ten years following the date the option is granted or (ii) one year following the date the optionee ceases to be a director of the Company for any reason. Options to purchase 0.1 million, 0.1 million and 0.3 million shares were granted under the Director Plan in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
 
    Employee Stock Purchase Plan
 
    In 2001, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”). Under the Purchase Plan, employees of the Company who elect to participate are granted options to purchase common stock at a 15 percent discount from the lower of the market value of the common stock at the beginning or the end of each six month offering period. The Purchase Plan permits an enrolled employee to make contributions to purchase shares of common stock by having withheld from their salary an amount up to 10 percent of their compensation. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers the Purchase Plan. The Company has reserved a total of 1.0 million shares of common stock for issuance under the Purchase Plan. A total of 0.3 million shares have been issued by the Plan since its inception and 0.6 million shares were available for purchase at June 29, 2003.

When the Rights become exercisable, each Right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one unit consisting of 1/100 of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock for $300 per unit, subject to adjustment. The Rights become exercisable if (i) a person or group (“Acquiring Person”) has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, 20 percent or more of the outstanding shares

    of common stock, (ii) a person becomes the beneficial owner of 30 percent or more of the outstanding shares of common stock, (iii) an Acquiring Person engages in one or more “self-dealing” transactions with the Company or (iv) an event occurs which results in an Acquiring Person’s ownership interest being increased by more than 1 percent. Upon exercise and payment of the purchase price for the Rights, the Rights holder (other than an Acquiring Person) will have the right to receive Company common stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property or other securities of the Company) equal to two times the purchase price. The Company is entitled to redeem the Rights at any time prior to the expiration of the Rights in January 2009, or 10 days following the time that a person has acquired beneficial ownership of 20 percent or more of the shares of common stock then outstanding. The Company is entitled to redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.01 per Right, subject to adjustment.

    The income tax expense in 2003, 2002 and 2001 included a charge-in-lieu of taxes of $4.1 million, $4.3 million and $32.2 million, respectively, for current year tax benefits related to exercises of stock options under the Company’s stock option plans. In 2002, additional charges-in-lieu of taxes relate to the release of valuation allowance directly to goodwill and additional paid-in capital. Tax benefits related to the release of valuation allowance were allocated as follows:

    Based on the Company’s historical and anticipated future pre-tax results of operations, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax assets existing as of June 29, 2003. Management believes the existing net deductible temporary differences will reverse during periods in which the Company generates net taxable income; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will generate any earnings or any specific level of continuing earnings in future years. Certain tax planning or other strategies could be implemented, if necessary, to supplement earnings from operations to fully realize recorded tax benefits. The change in the valuation allowance during 2002 was a decrease of $61.2 million.
 
    The effective income tax expense (benefit) on pretax income (loss) differs from expected federal income tax for the following reasons:

    In 2003, pretax book income reflects the amortization of intangibles, other than goodwill, related to the acquisition of Giganet, Inc. during 2001. In 2002, pretax book income reflects amortization of goodwill and other intangibles related to the acquisition of Giganet, Inc. during 2001.
 
    At June 29, 2003, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $14.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively, which are available to offset future federal and state taxable income. If unused, the federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire during the years 2011 through 2021, and the state net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2009. Included in these amounts are a Giganet, Inc. federal net operating loss carryforward of $14.2 million, which was incurred prior to the acquisition by the Company. The utilization of this net operating loss carryforward is limited due to restrictions imposed under federal law due to a change in ownership.
 
    At June 29, 2003, the Company had federal and state research and experimentation credit carryforwards of $11.7 million and $4.0 million, which are available to reduce federal and state income taxes. If unused, the federal carryforwards expire during the years 2009 through 2023, and the state carryforwards are available indefinitely. For federal purposes, the Company has alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of approximately $4.3 million, which are available for carryforward indefinitely, and $90 thousand of foreign tax credit carryforwards available through 2008. For state purposes, the Company has $0.2 million of other credits available through 2010.
 
    During 2003, the Internal Revenue Service completed an examination of the Company’s Federal Income tax return for its taxable year ended June 28, 1998. The audit was closed with no changes.

Note 15 Net Income (Loss) per Share

    Basic net income (loss) per share and diluted net loss per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period increased to include, if dilutive, the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares from stock option plans and convertible debt had been issued. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options is reflected in diluted net income per share by application of the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

                             
        2003   2002   2001

Adjustment for interest expense on convertible subordinated notes, net of tax

Numerator for diluted net income (loss) per share
  $ 69,105     $ (96,234 )   $ 23,603  
 
 
   
     
     
 
Denominator:
                       
 
Denominator for basic net income (loss) per share - weighted average shares outstanding
    82,051       81,487       76,122  
 
Effect of dilutive securities:
                       
   
Dilutive options outstanding
    1,579              
   
Dilutive common shares from assumed conversion of outstanding convertible subordinated notes
    4,284              
 
 
   
     
     
 
 
Denominator for diluted net income (loss) per share - adjusted weighted average shares
    87,914       81,487       76,122  
 
 
   
     
     
 
Basic net income (loss) per share
  $ 0.80     $ (1.18 )   $ (0.31 )
 
 
   
     
     
 
Diluted net income (loss) per share
  $ 0.79     $ (1.18 )   $ (0.31 )
 
 
   
     
     
 
Antidilutive options excluded from the computations
    6,696       9,320       9,095  
 
 
   
     
     
 
Antidilutive common shares from assumed conversion of outstanding convertible subordinated notes excluded from the calculation
          6,408        
 
 
   
     
     
 
Average market price of common stock
  $ 19.71     $ 29.15     $ 50.31  
 
 
   
     
     
 

    As the Company recorded a net loss in 2002 and 2001, all outstanding stock options at June 30, 2002, and July 1, 2001, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share for those periods then ended because the effect would have been antidilutive. Also, as the Company recorded a net loss in 2002, the common stock equivalents associated with the convertible subordinated notes at June 30, 2002, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss for the period then ended because the effect would have been antidilutive. Additionally, the antidilutive options at June 29, 2003, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the year then ended because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares during the period.

Note 17 Subsequent Event

    Subsequent to the year ended June 29, 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors expanded the Company’s stock repurchase program to include the repurchase of all of the Company’s convertible subordinated notes and extend the entire program to June 2005. The combined program authorizes the repurchase of up to 4.0 million shares of common stock and the repurchase of all of the convertible subordinated notes. Also subsequent to the year ended June 29, 2003, and through August 27, 2003, the Company bought back approximately $93.9 million of its convertible subordinated notes at a discount to face value, spending approximately $87.3 million. The repurchased notes were cancelled, leaving convertible subordinated notes outstanding with a face value of approximately $114.7 million that, if converted, would result in the issuance of approximately 2.1 million shares. The resulting net pre-tax gain of approximately $4.7 million from the repurchase of the convertible subordinated notes will be reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2004.
