NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of NetLogic Microsystems, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods are shown.
These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires it to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company based these estimates and assumptions on historical experience and evaluated them on an on-going basis to help ensure they remain reasonable under current conditions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, there were no significant changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates discussed in the Company’s 2010 annual report on Form 10-K.
2. Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potential common shares (when dilutive).
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders (in thousands, except per share data):

3. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has adopted stock plans that provide for grants of equity-based awards to employees, which consist of awards of stock options and restricted stock units. In addition, the Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) that allows employees to purchase its common stock at a discount through payroll deductions. The estimated fair value of the Company’s equity-based awards, less expected forfeitures, is amortized over the service period of the awards. The Company also grants stock options and restricted stock units to new employees in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(c)(4) as an inducement material to the new employee’s entering into employment with the Company.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company corrected a limitation in the calculation of stock-based compensation performed by a third party vendor, and as a result, reduced its compensation expenses by $0.5 million. The change was not material to prior periods and is not expected to have a significant impact on the current year stock-based compensation expense. The total stock-based compensation expense recognized was allocated as follows (in thousands):

|
$ | 10,627 | $ | 12,523 | ||||
In addition, the Company capitalized approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million of stock-based compensation in inventory as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, which represented indirect manufacturing costs related to its inventory.
Stock Options
The exercise price of each stock option typically equals the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Most options vest over four years and expire no later than ten years from the grant date. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not grant any stock options. As of March 31, 2011, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted and outstanding was approximately $12.6 million with a weighted average remaining vesting period of 2.48 years.
Restricted Stock
During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company granted restricted stock units representing the future right to acquire approximately 493,000 and 94,000 shares of common stock, respectively. These awards vest over the requisite service period, which ranges from six months to four years. The fair value of the restricted stock units was determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of the restricted stock units is amortized on a straight-line basis over the service period, and is reduced for estimated forfeitures. As of March 31, 2011, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock units granted was approximately $78.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.31 years.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company’s ESPP provides that eligible employees may purchase up to $25,000 of shares of common stock annually over the course of two six-month offering periods. The purchase price to be paid by participants is 85% of the price per share of the Company’s common stock either at the beginning or the end of each six-month offering period, whichever is less.
Valuation Assumptions
The fair value of each purchase is estimated at the beginning of each offering period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model was developed for use in estimating the value of publicly traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. The Company’s stock purchase plan has characteristics significantly different from those of publicly traded options as they have vesting requirements and are not fully transferable. The weighted average assumptions used in the model are outlined in the following table:

4. Income Taxes
During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $1.0 million and tax benefit of $1.6 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company corrected its deferred tax liabilities and goodwill related to acquired intangible assets and international structure. The $115,000 cumulative impact recorded during the first quarter of 2011 to increase income tax expense was not material to prior periods and is not expected to have a significant impact on the current year benefit for income taxes.
At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $52.0 million and $51.3 million, respectively. Approximately $45.4 million of the balance as of March 31, 2011 would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had accrued interest of $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and no accrued penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
The tax years 1999 to 2010 remain open to examination by one or more of the major tax jurisdictions in which the Company is subject to taxation on its taxable income. The Company anticipates that it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits will decrease approximately $10 million within the next twelve months due to the expiration of statute(s) of limitations.
5. Business Combination
RMI Corporation
On May 31, 2009, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger Reorganization, with the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Roadster Merger Corporation, and RMI Corporation (“RMI”), a provider of high-performance and low-power multi-core, multi-threaded processors.
On October 30, 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of RMI and delivered in October 2009 approximately 9.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock and $12.6 million cash of initial merger consideration. In December 2010, the Company also delivered approximately 2.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock and $11.5 million cash as earn-out consideration based upon achievement of specified percentages of revenue targets for the 12-month period from November 1, 2009 through October 31, 2010. In accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations, a liability was recognized for the estimated merger date fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration based on the probability of the achievement of the revenue target.
In developing these estimates at each reporting period, the Company considered its revenue projections, its historical results, and general macro-economic environment and industry trends. This fair value measurement is based on significant revenue inputs not observed in the market and thus represented a Level 3 measurement. Level 3 instruments are valued based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the Company’s own assumptions in measuring fair value. The Company’s fair value estimate of this liability was $9.7 million at the date of acquisition assuming a probability-weighted revenue achievement of approximately 80% of target which required a settlement of 489,000 shares of its common stock (value at $9.3 million) and $0.4 million in cash. Changes in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration subsequent to the merger date, including changes from events after the acquisition date, such as changes in the Company’s estimate of the revenue expected to be achieved and changes in their stock price, are being recognized in earnings in the period in which the estimated fair value changes.

8. Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance.
Fair Value Hierarchy
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company measures its financial assets, specifically cash equivalents, marketable securities and debt investments in a privately held corporation, at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of these financial assets was determined using the following inputs as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

Purchase Commitments
At March 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $22.6 million in firm, non-cancelable and unconditional purchase commitments with its suppliers.
Contingencies
From time to time the Company is party to claims and litigation proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Currently, the Company does not believe that there are any claims or litigation proceedings involving matters that will result in the payment of monetary damages, net of any applicable insurance proceeds, that, in the aggregate, would be material in relation to its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. There can be no assurance, however, that any such matters will be resolved without costly litigation, in a manner that is not adverse to the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows, or without requiring royalty payments in the future that may adversely impact gross margins.
Indemnities, Commitments and Guarantees
In the normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These include agreements to indemnify the Company’s customers with respect to liabilities associated with the infringement of other parties’ technology based upon its products, to indemnify its lessors under facility lease agreements, and to indemnify its directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the state of Delaware. The duration of such indemnification obligations, commitments and guarantees varies and, in certain cases, is indefinite. The Company has not recorded any liability for any such indemnification obligations, commitments and guarantees in the accompanying balance sheets. The Company does, however, accrue for losses for any known contingent liability, including those that may arise from indemnification provisions, when future payment is estimable and probable.
The Company has undertaken specified obligations in the event of an epidemic product failure under master purchase agreements with certain customers. In the event of an epidemic product failure, the Company’s obligation under these arrangements may have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Pending Acquisition

13. Subsequent Events
On March 20, 2011, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Alinghi Merger Corporation, or Merger Sub, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or merger agreement, with Optichron, Inc., or Optichron, and David Liddle, as the representative of Optichron’s stockholders, or the Representative. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Company agreed to acquire Optichron, a privately-held, fabless semiconductor provider of 3G/4G LTE base station digital front-end processors, through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Optichron, with Optichron continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Concurrently with the execution of the merger agreement, the Company and Merger Sub entered into Common Stock Purchase Agreements, or stock purchase agreements, with three employee-stockholders of Optichron. Under the terms of the stock purchase agreements, the Company agreed to purchase all of the fully-vested shares of Optichron common stock held by the employee-stockholders immediately prior to the merger. The Company also agreed to offer each of these employee-stockholders (and other employees designated by the Company pursuant to the merger agreement) employment with the Company, Optichron or another subsidiary of the Company at the time of the closing of the merger.
On April 5, 2011, the Company completed the Optichron acquisition and paid initial merger consideration of approximately $77.2 million in cash, of which 12.5%, or approximately $9.6 million, is being held in escrow as recourse for indemnifiable claims and expenses that may arise in the first 18 months following the closing.
Under the terms of the merger agreement and the common stock purchase agreements, the Company also may be required to pay additional earn-out consideration to the former Optichron stockholders based on the amount of revenue recognized by the Company from the sale of Optichron products in 2011 (“first earn-out period”), and in 2012 (“second earn-out period”), in accordance with formulas set forth in the merger agreement. Any portion of the earn-out consideration payable to the three employee-stockholders pursuant to the stock purchase agreements will be paid in shares of common stock of the Company, issuable in equal annual installments over a period of four years after determination of the earn-out amount (in the case of the first earn-out consideration) or three years after determination of the earn-out amount (in the case of the second earn-out consideration), subject to their continuing employment with the Company. The aggregate number of shares issuable to each such employee-stockholder is equal to the cash value of the earn-out consideration that would otherwise have been paid to him under the merger agreement if his shares of common stock had been converted under the merger agreement (based on the ten trading-day average price of the common stock immediately prior to the closing of the merger). Any portion of the earn-out consideration payable to the remaining former Optichron stockholders will be paid in cash. If the maximum earn-out is achieved, additional consideration of approximately $109 million would be payable in cash by March 31, 2013, and additional consideration of approximately $12 million would be payable in shares of NetLogic common stock (valued at $40.68 per share) to the employee-stockholders, subject to their continued employment after the acquisition over a five-year period.
Under the merger agreement, the Company assumed unvested restricted stock units (“Retention RSUs”) of $23 million that Optichron had granted to employees prior to the close. The Retention RSUs generally vest over a five-year period.
We are currently evaluating the purchase price allocation following the consummation of the transaction. It is not possible to disclose the preliminary purchase price allocation or unaudited pro forma combined financial information given the short period of time between the acquisition date and the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. It is expected that goodwill will be recorded on our consolidated balance sheet in the first quarter of 2011 once the preliminary purchase price allocation for the transaction has been completed.

Overview
We are a leading fabless semiconductor company that designs, develops and sells proprietary high-performance processors and high speed integrated circuits that are used to enhance the performance, functionality and energy efficiency of advanced mobile wireless infrastructure, data center, enterprise, metro Ethernet, edge and core infrastructure networks. Our market-leading product portfolio includes high-performance multi-core communications processors, knowledge-based processors, high-speed 10/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet physical layer devices, network search engines, digital front-end processors and ultra low-power embedded processors. These products are designed into high-performance systems such as switches, routers, wireless base stations, access aggregation, radio network controllers, security appliances, networked storage appliances, service gateways and connected media devices offered by leading original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) such as Alcatel-Lucent, Brocade Communications Systems, Cisco Systems, Dell Inc., Ericsson, Finisar Corporation, Hewlett-Packard, Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd, Juniper Networks, Inc., McAfee, Inc., Motorola, Inc., Nokia Siemens Networks, Tellabs, Inc., and ZTE Corporation.
The products and technologies we have developed and acquired are targeted to enable our customers to develop systems that support the increasing speeds and complexity of the Internet Protocol (IP) networks. We believe there is a growing need to include high-performance multi-core processors, knowledge-based processors, high speed physical layer devices, and digital front end processors in a larger number of communication equipment as networks transition to processing traffic at increasing speeds and complexity.
The equipment and systems that use our products are technically complex. As a result, the time from our initial customer engagement design activity to volume production can be lengthy and may require considerable support from our design engineering, research and development, sales, and marketing personnel in order to secure the engagement and commence product sales to the customer. Once the customer’s equipment is in volume production, however, it generally has a life cycle of three to five years and requires less ongoing support.
We derive revenue primarily from sales of semiconductor products to OEMs and their contract manufacturers, and to our distributors and international sales representatives. Usually, we initially sell product for a new design directly to OEM customers. Once their design enters production, the OEM customers frequently outsource their manufacturing to contract manufacturers that purchase our products directly from us or from our distributors and international sales representatives. We maintain inventory, or “hubbing”, arrangements with some of these customers, including our largest customer, Cisco and its supplier, Wintec Industries. Pursuant to these arrangements, we deliver products to a customer, an intermediary or a designated third party warehouse based upon the customer’s projected needs, but do not recognize product revenue unless and until the customer, intermediary or third-party warehouse reports it has removed, or pulled, our product from the warehouse to be incorporated into the customers’ end products.
We also use distributors to provide valuable assistance to end-users in delivery of our products and related services. Our distributors are used to support our international sales logistic principally in Asia. In accordance with standard market practice, our distributor agreements limit the distributor’s ability to return product up to a portion of purchases in the preceding quarter and limit price protection for inventory on-hand if we subsequently lower prices on our products. We recognize revenue from sales through distributors at the time of shipment to end customers reported by our distributors.
As a fabless semiconductor company, our business is less capital intensive than others because we rely on third parties to manufacture, assemble, and test our products. In general, we do not anticipate making significant capital expenditures aside from business acquisitions that we might make from time to time. In the future, as we launch new products or expand our operations, however, we may require additional funds to procure product mask sets, order elevated quantities of wafers from our foundry partners, perform qualification testing and assemble and test those products.
Because we purchase all wafers from suppliers with fabrication facilities and outsource the assembly and testing to third party vendors, a significant portion of our cost of revenue consists of payments to third party vendors.
Recent Acquisitions
On April 5, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of Optichron, Inc. (“Optichron”), a provider of 3G/4G LTE base station digital front-end processors for approximately $77.2 million cash consideration at closing, and potential additional cash earn-out consideration of up to approximately $109 million payable in cash by March 31, 2013, and approximately $12 million that would be paid in shares of the Company’s common stock. The digital front-end processing solutions complement our existing portfolio of products targeting our customers’ next generation wireless equipment, and we believe that the combined portfolio will increase our overall strategic importance to our top customers and our total addressable market.
Outlook and Challenges
In order to add to our intrinsic growth rate, we continue to seek strategic partnerships and merger and acquisition opportunities, such as the Optichron Acquisition, to grow our product portfolio, increase the total available market for our products, and widen our engineering talent pool in areas that are highly complementary and synergistic with our core competencies and increases our strategic importance to key customers. Additionally, in order to support our growing business operations we are increasing our worldwide hiring and improving our processes and systems related to our management information and enterprise resource planning systems to keep pace with the breadth and scale of our business while maintaining regulatory compliance.
Our product revenue is concentrated among a small number of large customers. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, our top five customers in terms of revenue accounted for approximately 54% of total revenue. Although we believe our revenues will continue to be concentrated among our largest customers, because of concentration in the networking equipment business, we expect that continued favorable market trends, such as the increasing number of 10 Gigabit ports as enterprises and datacenters upgrade their legacy networks to better accommodate the proliferation of video and virtualization applications, and the growing mobile wireless infrastructure and IPTV markets, will enable us to broaden our customer base. Additionally, our expanding product portfolio will also help us further diversify our customer and product revenues as well as expand our offerings to our existing customers.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, 28% of our product revenue was realized through inventory, or “hubbing”, arrangements with certain customers. We expect more of our larger customers to adopt these hubbing arrangements in the future. Pursuant to these arrangements, we deliver products to a customer, an intermediary or a designated third party warehouse based upon the customer’s projected needs, but do not recognize product revenue unless and until the customer, intermediary or third-party warehouse reports it has removed, or pulled, our product from the warehouse to be incorporated into the customers’ end products. Historically, we have had reasonable visibility of our customers’ requirements within a quarter, and typically commit resources and incur expenses based on our projections. However, if a customer that uses a hubbing arrangement does not take delivery of products in accordance with the schedule it originally provided to us, our predicted future revenue stream could vary substantially from our forecasts, and our results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, although we own the inventory physically located at these hubs, our ability to effectively manage inventory levels may be restricted, causing our total inventory levels to increase. This, in turn, could increase our expenses associated with excess and obsolete product and negatively impact our cash flows.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates and assumptions on historical experience and evaluate them on an on-going basis to help ensure they remain reasonable under current conditions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. There have been no changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates discussed in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased by $12.4 million compared with the three months ended March 31, 2010. Revenue from sales to Wintec, Cisco and Cisco’s contract manufacturers (collectively “Cisco”) represented $22.0 million of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared with $26.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in sales to Cisco was primarily due to a decrease of $5.6 million in revenue from sales of NETLite processors and network search engine products, partially offset by an increase of $1.1 million primarily from sales of knowledge based processors. Revenue from non-Cisco customers represented $76.7 million of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared with $59.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010. Increased revenue from sales of our products to non-Cisco customers primarily consisted of $3.5 million from communication processors, $6.2 million from physical layer products, $0.4 million from NETLite processors and network search engine products, $5.9 million from revenue from knowledge based processors, offset by a decrease of $0.5 million from ultra low-power embedded processors. Huawei accounted for 11% of our total revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared with 12% in the same period of 2010. Alcatel accounted for 10% of our total revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and less than 10% of total revenue in the same period of 2010.
Cost of Revenue/Gross Profit/Gross Margin. Cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 decreased by $13.1 million compared with that of the three months ended March 31, 2010. Cost of revenue decreased primarily due to the absence of fair value adjustments related to acquired inventory in the most recent quarter of $12.2 million as the inventory acquired from the RMI and IDT NSE Assets transactions were sold during fiscal 2010. Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased to 61.2% compared with 40.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily due to higher levels of revenue to absorb fixed costs, the absence of fair value adjustments related to acquired inventory in the most recent quarter and a favorable change in product mix.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared with the same period in 2010 primarily due to increases in payroll and related expenses of $2.0 million, product development and qualification expenses of $1.9 million, and depreciation expenses of $0.8 million. The increase in payroll and related expenses was primarily due to retention of and increases in engineering headcount to support our new product development efforts. The increase in product development and qualification expenses was primarily due to the production qualification and characterization of new products submitted for tape-out during the period. The remainder of the increase in research and development expenses was caused by individually minor items. We expect research and development expenses to increase in 2011, as well as increase as a percentage of 2011 revenues, due to additional hiring, training and systems support for the development of new products including those acquired in our acquisition of Optichron and the improvement of existing products.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared with the same period in 2010, primarily due to increases in payroll and related expenses of $0.6 million, marketing and commission expenses of $0.9 million, and depreciation expense of $0.3 million. These increases were offset by a decline in stock compensation expense of $1.2 million. The increases reflected higher spending levels to support our growing operations in the sales and marketing areas. The remainder of the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was caused by individually minor items. We expect that selling, general and administrative expenses will increase in 2011, and may increase as a percentage of 2011 revenues, in conjunction with our anticipated growth in selling activity.
Change in Contingent Earn-Out Liability. The change in estimated contingent earn-out liability payable to the former holders of RMI capital stock recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2010 was due to an increase in the probability weighted estimated achievement of the revenue earn-out target from 80% at December 31, 2009 to approximately 90% at March 31, 2010, as well as an increase in the market price of our common stock. This liability was subsequently increased to a revenue earn-out target achievement of approximately 95.3% and fully paid in December 2010. Although this liability associated with our acquisition of RMI Corporation no longer recurs in 2011, similar charges could arise in the future relating to the acquisition of Optichron or any other acquisitions that involve deferred, contingent payments of this nature.
Acquisition-Related Costs. Acquisition related cost associated with the Optichron Acquisition were $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and consisted predominantly of legal fees. Acquisition and integration related costs associated with the acquisition of RMI were $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and consisted primarily of legal fees of $0.2 million, and other professional services of $0.5 million.

Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recorded an income tax provision of $1.0 million. The effective tax rate of 14.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily driven by a decrease in stock compensation which was partially offset by the federal R&D credit, a rate differential for book income generated in foreign jurisdictions, and book losses generated in the United States.
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we recorded an income tax benefit of $1.6 million. The effective tax rate of 2.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily driven by a rate differential for book income generated in foreign jurisdictions and book losses generated in the United States.
Liquidity and Capital Resources: Changes in Financial Condition
Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $277.4 million as of March 31, 2011. On April 5, 2011, we completed the Optichron acquisition and paid initial merger consideration of approximately $77.2 million in cash. The table below sets forth the key components of cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

Cash Flows during the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011
Net cash provided by operating activities was $14.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, which comprised $6.0 million of net income, $24.0 million of non-cash operating expenses partially reduced by $15.9 million used in working capital. Non-cash operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 included depreciation and amortization of $14.4 million, stock-based compensation expenses of $10.6 million, an increase in the provision for inventory reserves of $1.5 million and benefits from stock-based awards of $3.2 million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities which resulted in cash used by operating activities were driven primarily by increases in accounts receivable of $19.7 million and a reduction in accounts payable and accumulated liabilities of $3.3 million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities which resulted in cash provided by operating activities were primarily due to reduction in inventories of $1.8 million, decreases in prepaid assets of $2.3 million, increases in deferred margin of $1.5 million, and increases in other long term liabilities of $1.5 million. The changes in operating assets and liabilities were consistent with historcial operating levels.
Net cash provided by investing activities of $17.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 primarily related to the net sale of short-term investments of $21.4 million, partially offset by $1.4 million used to purchase property and equipment, and $2.5 million to purchase other assets. The changes in operating assets and liabilities were consistent with historcial operating levels.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $11.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, primarily from proceeds of $9.2 million from issuance of common stock under our stock compensation plans and benefits from stock-based awards of $3.2 million.
Cash Flows during the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010
Net cash provided by operating activities was $11.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, which primarily consisted of $57.3 million of net loss, $25.5 million of non-cash operating expenses and $43.5 million in benefits from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010, included depreciation and amortization of $12.7 million, stock-based compensation expenses of $12.5 million, an increase in the provision for inventory reserve of $1.7 million and provision for doubtful accounts of $0.2 million, net of benefits from deferred income taxes of $1.6 million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities which resulted in cash provided by operating activities were driven primarily by increases in the contingent earn-out liability of $45.2 million due to an increase in the probability of revenue achievement and an increase in our share price, as well as increases in deferred margin of $2.9 million and accounts payable of $2.1 million, and decreases in inventories of $4.1 million and other changes. Changes in operating assets and liabilities which resulted in cash used by operating activities were due to increases in accounts receivables of $3.5 million and reduction in accrued liabilities of $7.7 million. The decrease in inventory is a result of recognizing $12.2 million of the fair value adjustments related to acquired inventory through our operating results. The remaining changes in inventory and other working capital items were generally in line with the revenue growth.
Net cash used in investing activities of $0.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010 related to purchases of property and equipment. We also entered into capital lease obligations of $4.7 million relating to software tools necessary to support product development activities.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $122.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily from proceeds from issuance of Common Stock pursuant to a follow-on public offering of $117.8 million, net of stock offering costs of $5.6 million, and proceeds of $10.0 million from the issuance of common stock under our stock compensation plans and benefits from stock-based awards of $3.2 million.
Capital Resources
We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $277.4 million as of March 31, 2011 will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next twelve months. Our anticipated cash needs in the next twelve months include the payment of $77.2 million initial merger consideration for the Optichron acquisition and the potential payments under the earn-out provisions of the Optichron merger agreement to the former holders of Optichron common stock, with respect to which a maximum of $109 million might be payable in cash in 2012 and 2013.
Our future cash needs will depend on many factors, including the amount of revenue we generate, the timing and extent of spending to support product development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing of introductions of new products, the costs to ensure access to adequate manufacturing capacity, and the continuing market acceptance of our products, and any future business acquisitions that we might undertake. We may seek additional funding through public or private equity or debt financing, and have a shelf registration allowing us to sell up to $120 million of our securities from time to time during the next two years. We also might decide to raise additional capital at such times and upon such terms as management considers favorable and in our interests, including, but not limited to, from the sale of our debt and/or equity securities (before reductions for expenses, underwriting discounts and commissions) under our existing shelf registration statement or one or more automatic shelf registration statements that we could file from time to time without advance public disclosure. We cannot be certain, however, that we will be able to complete offerings of our securities at such times and on such terms as we may consider desirable for us.

In addition to the enforceable and legally binding obligations quantified above, we have other obligations for goods and services entered into in the normal course of business. These obligations, however, are either not enforceable or legally binding, or are subject to change based on our business decisions.
Due to uncertainty with respect to timing of future cash flows associated with our unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2011, we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the period of cash settlement with the respective taxing authority. Therefore, $45.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits have not been included in the contractual obligations table above.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2011, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K, other than the indemnities, commitments and guarantees discussed below.
Indemnities, Commitments and Guarantees
In the normal course of business, we have made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which we may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These include agreements to indemnify our customers with respect to liabilities associated with the infringement of other parties’ technology based upon our products, obligations to indemnify our lessors under facility lease agreements, and obligations to indemnify our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the state of Delaware. The duration of such indemnification obligations, commitments and guarantees varies and, in certain cases, is indefinite. We have not recorded any liability for any such indemnification obligations, commitments and guarantees in the accompanying balance sheets. We do, however, accrue for losses for any known contingent liability, including those that may arise from indemnification provisions, when future payment is estimable and probable.
We have undertaken specified obligations in the event of an epidemic product failure under master purchase agreements with certain customers. In the event of an epidemic product failure, our obligations under these arrangements may have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
|
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing the income we receive from our investments without significantly increasing the risk of loss. Some of the investable securities permitted under our cash management policy may be subject to market risk for changes in interest rates. To mitigate this risk, we plan to maintain a portfolio of cash equivalent and short-term investments in a variety of securities which may include investment grade commercial paper, money market funds, government debt issued by the United States of America, state debt, certificates of deposit and investment grade corporate debt. Presently, we are exposed to minimal market risks associated with interest rate changes. We manage the sensitivity of our results of operations to these risks by maintaining investment grade short-term investments. Our cash management policy does not allow us to purchase or hold derivative or commodity instruments or other financial instruments for trading purposes. Additionally, our policy stipulates that we periodically monitor our investments for adverse material holdings related to the underlying financial solvency of the issuer. As of March 31, 2011, our investments consisted primarily of deposits in money market funds, U.S. treasuries and government agency securities. Our results of operations and financial condition would not be significantly impacted by either a 10% increase or decrease in interest rates.
Our sales outside the United States are transacted in U.S. dollars; accordingly our sales are not generally affected by foreign currency rate changes. Our operating expenses are denominated primarily in U.S. Dollars, except for expenses incurred by our wholly owned subsidiaries, which are denominated in the local currency. To date, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have not had a material impact on our results of operations.
|
Controls and Procedures
|
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2011. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2011 to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During our last fiscal quarter, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
|
Legal Proceedings
|
From time to time we are party to claims and litigation proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Currently, we do not believe that there are any claims or litigation proceedings involving matters will result in the payment of monetary damages, net of any applicable insurance proceeds, that, in the aggregate, would be material in relation to our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. There can be no assurance, however, that any such matters will be resolved without costly litigation, in a manner that is not adverse to our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows, or without requiring royalty payments in the future that may adversely impact gross margins.
|
Risk Factors
|
We face many significant risks in our business, some of which are unknown to us and not presently foreseen. These risks could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations in the future. We have disclosed a number of material risks under Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which we filed with the SEC on February 16, 2011, under “Business”, “Risk Factors”, and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation”, and under “Management’s discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” in this quarterly report. The following discussion is of material changes to risk factors disclosed in that report.
Because we rely on a small number of customers for a significant portion of our total revenue, the loss of, or a significant reduction in, orders for our products from these customers would negatively affect our total revenue and business.
To date, we have been dependent on sales to a limited number of customers, including Cisco, for most of our total revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, our top five customers accounted for 55% of our total revenue. Also, within those revenues, during the three months ended March 31, 2011 Cisco and its contract manufacturers accounted for 22% of our total revenue, respectively. We expect that our future financial performance will continue to depend in large part upon our relationship with Cisco and several other large OEMs.
We cannot assure you that existing or potential customers will not develop their own solutions, purchase competitive products or acquire companies that use alternative methods in their systems. We do not have long-term purchase commitments from any of our OEM customers or their contract manufacturers. Although we entered into master purchase agreements with certain significant customers including Cisco, these agreements do not include any long-term purchase commitments. Our customers generally only place with us short-term purchase orders, which often are cancelable prior to shipment. The loss of orders for our products from major customers would have a significant negative impact on our business.
