RAMBUS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.    Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of Rambus Inc. (“Rambus” or “the Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Rambus K.K., located in Tokyo, Japan, and Rambus Deutschland GmbH, located in Hamburg, Germany. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements.

 

In the opinion of management, the consolidated condensed financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for each interim period shown. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

 

The consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (or SEC) applicable to interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted in these interim statements pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, included in Rambus’s 2003 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K with the SEC on February 13, 2004.

 

2.    Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Rambus accounts for stock-based awards to employees using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Stock options are generally granted with exercise prices equivalent to fair market value, and no compensation cost is recognized. When stock options are granted with exercise prices below fair market value, employee stock-related compensation expense is recognized accordingly. Rambus complies with the disclosure provisions as required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.”

 

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure,” an amendment of SFAS 123. If Rambus had recognized compensation expense based upon the fair value of stock option awards, including shares issued under the Rambus employee stock purchase plan (collectively called options), at the grant date consistent with the methodology prescribed under SFAS 123, Rambus’s net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share would have changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below (in thousands, except share data; unaudited):
