NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2004
 
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The Company

      Broadcom Corporation (the “Company”) is a leading provider of highly integrated semiconductor solutions that enable broadband communications and networking of voice, video and data services. The Company designs, develops and supplies complete system-on-a-chip (“SOC”) solutions incorporating digital, analog, radio frequency (“RF”), microprocessor and digital signal processing (“DSP”) technologies, as well as related hardware and software system-level applications. The Company’s diverse product portfolio addresses every major broadband communications market and includes solutions for digital cable and satellite set-top boxes; high definition television (“HDTV”); cable and digital subscriber line (“DSL”) modems and residential gateways; high-speed transmission and switching for local, metropolitan, wide area and storage networking; home and wireless networking; cellular and terrestrial wireless communications; Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) gateway and telephony systems; broadband network and security processors; and SystemI/ OTM server solutions.

 
Basis of Presentation

      The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

      The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full fiscal year.

      The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include certain footnotes and financial presentations normally required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2003, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 15, 2004 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 
Use of Estimates

      The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to allowances for doubtful accounts, sales returns and allowances, warranty reserves, inventory reserves, goodwill and purchased intangible asset valuations, strategic investments, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances, restructuring costs, litigation and other loss contingencies. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from management’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Revenue Recognition

      The Company’s net revenue is principally generated by sales of its semiconductor products. Such sales represented over 97% of total net revenue in the first quarter of 2004 and 2003. The Company generates the remaining balance of its net revenue mainly from development agreements, software licenses and maintenance agreements, and system-level reference designs.

      The vast majority of the Company’s sales occur through its direct sales force. However, the Company derived approximately 7.9% and 8.5% of its total net revenue from sales made through distributors in the first quarter of 2004 and 2003, respectively.

      In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (“SAB 101”) as well as the recently issued SAB No. 104, Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes product revenue when the following fundamental criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) transfer of title has occurred, (iii) the price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. In addition, the Company does not recognize revenue until all customer acceptance requirements have been met. These criteria are usually met at the time of product shipment. However, a portion of the Company’s sales are made through distributors under agreements allowing for pricing credits and/or rights of return. Product revenue on sales made through these distributors is deferred until the distributors sell the product to end customers. The Company records reductions to revenue for estimated product returns and pricing adjustments, such as competitive pricing programs and rebates, in the same period that the related revenue is recorded. The amount of these reductions is based on historical sales returns, analysis of credit memo data, specific criteria included in rebate agreements, and other factors known at the time.

      Revenue under development agreements is recognized when applicable contractual milestones have been met, including deliverables, and in any case, does not exceed the amount that would be recognized using the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contacts (“SOP 81-1”). The costs associated with development agreements are included in cost of revenue. Revenue from licensed software is recognized in accordance with the provisions of 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. Revenue from system-level reference designs is recognized in accordance with SAB 101. Revenue from cancellation fees is recognized when cash is received from the customer.

 
Inventory

      Inventory consists of work in process and finished goods and is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. The Company establishes inventory allowances for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.

 
Rebates

      The Company accounts for rebates in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 01-9, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products), and, accordingly, records reductions to revenue for rebates in the same period that the related revenue is recorded. The amount of these reductions is equal to 100% of the potential rebates based upon the terms of the Company’s rebate agreements.

Warranty

      The Company’s products typically carry a one to three year warranty. The Company establishes reserves for estimated product warranty costs, based upon its historical warranty experience, at the time revenue is recognized and for any known product warranty issues.

 
Stock-Based Compensation

      The Company has in effect several stock-based plans under which incentive stock options have been granted to employees and non-qualified stock options have been granted to employees, non-employee members of the Board of Directors and other non-employees. The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan for all eligible employees. The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”), and has adopted the disclosure-only alternative of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”) and SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure. The fair value of options granted to non-employees, as defined under SFAS 123, has been expensed in accordance with SFAS 123.

      In accordance with the requirements of the disclosure-only alternative of SFAS 123, set forth below is a pro forma illustration of the effect on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share if the Company had valued stock-based awards to employees using the Black-Scholes option pricing model instead of applying the guidelines provided by APB 25.

In arriving at an option valuation, the Black-Scholes model considers, among other factors, the expected life of the option and the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price. For pro forma illustration purposes, the estimated fair value of the Company’s stock-based awards to employees is assumed to be amortized over the vesting periods of the underlying instruments.

 
Business Enterprise Segments

      The Company operates in one reportable operating segment, broadband communications. SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (“SFAS 131”), establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual consoli-

dated financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. SFAS 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. Although the Company had four operating segments at March 31, 2004, under the aggregation criteria
