NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LogicVision, Inc. (“LogicVision” or the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries after elimination of all inter-company transactions. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of LogicVision have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The December 31, 2001 fiscal year end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements and does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Operating results for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002 or any other future period. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2001 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and to disclose contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (“SFAS 141”), “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142 (“SFAS 142”), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Under SFAS 141, use of the pooling-of-interest method is prohibited for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. The provisions of SFAS 141 also apply to all business combinations accounted for by the purchase method that are completed after June 30, 2001 (that is, the date of the acquisition is July 1, 2001 or later). There are also transition provisions that apply to business combinations completed before July 1, 2001 that were accounted for by the purchase method. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and applies to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in an entity’s statement of financial position at that date, regardless of when those assets were initially recognized. The Company has adopted these statements. The adoption of SFAS 141 and 142 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143 (“SFAS 143”), “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” SFAS 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS 143 applies to all entities. It applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and (or) the normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of lessees. SFAS 143 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 25, 2002. The Company has adopted this statement. The adoption of SFAS 143 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 (“SFAS 144”), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets.” The objectives of SFAS 144 are to address significant issues relating to the

implementation of FASB Statement No. 121 (“SFAS 121”), “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived assets to be Disposed Of,” and to develop a single accounting model, based on the framework established by SFAS 121, for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired. Although SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS 121, it retains some fundamental provisions of SFAS 121. SFAS 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this statement. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.” SFAS 145 states that gains and losses from extinguishment of debt that do not meet the criteria for classification as extraordinary items in APB Opinion No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions,” should not be classified as extraordinary items. Accordingly, SFAS 145 rescinds SFAS 4 “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt,” and SFAS 64, “Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements.” The Company will adopt SFAS No. 145 on January 1, 2003 and does not expect any material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities. SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity is recognized when the liability is incurred. In summary, SFAS 146 requires that the liability shall be recognized and measured initially at its fair value in the period in which the liability is incurred, except for one-time termination benefits that meet certain requirements. SFAS 146 is effective prospectively for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 146 on January 1, 2003 and does not expect any material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations

Note 3. Cash and Cash Equivalents, Short-Term Investments and Marketable Securities

The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments with original maturities of three months or less at the acquisition date to be cash equivalents and investment instruments with original maturities of more than three months at the acquisition date, but less than twelve months, to be short-term investments. All short-term investments and marketable securities are classified as held-to-maturity. Interest and realized gains and losses are included in interest income. Realized gains and losses are recognized based on the specific identification method. Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and marketable securities consist of the following (in thousands):

	September 30, 2002		December 31, 2001
Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash	$	820	$	1,116
Money market funds		10,356		24,380
U.S. government agency notes		4,500		9,000

Total cash and cash equivalents	$	15,676	$	34,496

Short-term investment:
Bank certificate of deposit	$	2,001	$	—

Marketable securities:
U.S. government agency notes	$	22,479	$	11,984

Note 4. Acquisitions

On July 18, 2002, the Company entered into a Business Transfer Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Company’s distributor in Japan. Pursuant to this Agreement, the Company acquired certain fixed assets, customer lists, transitional services and a covenant not to compete (“Non-competition agreement”) for a period of one year. The Company accounted for the acquisition as a purchase. The aggregate purchase price of the transaction was $1.9 million of which $1.7 million was paid and the remaining $200,000 will be paid on December 27, 2002. The purchase price includes professional fees and other direct costs of the acquisition totaling $58,000.

The Company allocated the purchase price as supported by an independent third-party valuation analysis as follows (in thousands):

Transitional services	$	620
Non-competition agreement		1,258

Total purchase price	$	1,878

The amount allocated to transitional services will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of contracted services ending December 31, 2002. The amount allocated to the non-competition agreement will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of benefit which ends on July 17, 2003. For the three months ended September 30, 2002, the amortization expenses for the transitional services and non-competition agreement were $282,000 and $264,000, respectively.

Note 5. Short-term Debt

The Company has a Loan Agreement with a bank under which it may borrow, on a revolving basis, up to $5.0 million at an interest rate equal to prime rate, which was equal to an annual rate of 4.75% at September 30, 2002. The agreement is unsecured and is not collateralized by the Company’s assets. Under the agreement, the Company must comply with certain operating and reporting covenants and is not permitted to pay dividends, or make material investments or dispositions without the prior written consent of the bank. If the Company fails to comply with its covenants under the agreement, the bank can declare any outstanding amounts immediately due and payable and cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the Company. The agreement expires in December 2002. At September 30, 2002, the Company had a $500,000 balance outstanding under this agreement and had accrued an interest expense of $800. At September 30, 2002, the Company was in compliance with all the operating and reporting covenants with the bank.

Note 6. Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company has been dependent on a relatively small number of customers for a substantial portion of its revenues, although the customers comprising this group have changed from time to time. In the three month period ended September 30, 2002, two customers accounted for 28% and 29% of the Company’s revenues, respectively. In the three month period ended September 30, 2001, one customer accounted for 18% of the Company’s revenues. In the nine month period ended September 30, 2002, three customers accounted for 13%, 11% and 10% of the Company’s revenues, respectively. In the nine month period ended September 30, 2001, one customer accounted for 17% of our revenues.

Note 7. Industry and Segment Information

The Company currently operates in one reportable segment, the semiconductor software and intellectual property segment, for financial reporting purposes, and uses one measure of profitability for its business. The Company’s principal markets include North America, Asia and Europe.

Net revenues are attributed to the countries in which the products and services are delivered and represent sales to unaffiliated customers (in thousands).

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2002		2001		2002		2001
Net revenues:

Europe		60		96		152		503
Asia		340		1,406		2,745		2,632
Others		17		—		51		—

	$	3,982	$	4,804	$	13,524	$	11,824

Note 8. Net Loss Per Share

SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of the common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would occur if outstanding securities to issue common stock were exercised or converted to common stock under the treasury stock method. Diluted net loss per share for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 does not differ from basic net loss per share since potential common shares from conversion of preferred stock, stock options and warrants and outstanding shares of common stock subject to repurchase are anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2002			2001			2002			2001
Numerator—Basic and Diluted
Net loss attributable to common stockholders	$	(2,455	)	$	(714	)	$	(4,325	)	$	(5,779	)

Denominator—Basic
Weighted average common stock outstanding		15,022			1,946			14,950			1,923

Basic and diluted net loss per share	$	(0.16	)	$	(0.37	)	$	(0.29	)	$	(3.00	)

Options and warrants to purchase and preferred stock convertible into an aggregate of 3.9 million shares and 11.4 million shares of common stock were outstanding at September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and were excluded from the computation of diluted shares because of their antidilutive effect on loss per share for the three and nine months then ended.

Note 9. Comprehensive Loss

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” This statement requires companies to classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in the financial statements and display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in-capital in the equity section of the balance sheet.

The financial statements of LogicVision’s subsidiaries located outside of the U.S. generally are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Adjustments to translate those statements into U.S dollars are accumulated in accumulated other comprehensive income and reported as a separate component of Stockholders’ Equity.

For the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, comprehensive loss, which was comprised of the Company’s net loss for the periods and changes in foreign currency translation adjustments, was as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2002			2001			2002			2001
Net loss	$	(2,455	)	$	(671	)	$	(4,325	)	$	(5,649	)
Other comprehensive income (loss)—
Cumulative translation adjustment		4			(5	)		73			22

Comprehensive loss	$	(2,451	)	$	(676	)	$	(4,252	)	$	(5,627	)

Note 10. Legal Proceedings

In September 2002, the Company was named as a party in a lawsuit filed by a purported shareholder of PurpleVision Technologies Private Limited in connection with the Company’s proposed acquisition of PurpleVision. Since the Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company was to acquire all of the outstanding shares of PurpleVision was terminated in accordance with its terms in October 2002, the Company is seeking to be removed from the lawsuit. The Company believes that the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results or financial condition.

Note 11. Subsequent Event

In October 2002, the Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company was to acquire all of the outstanding shares of PurpleVision Technologies Private Limited was terminated in accordance with its terms. Under the agreement, if the purchase transaction was not completed by October 7, 2002, the agreement was terminated. The Company recognized a charge of $196,000 for professional fee expenses associated with the negotiation and termination of the agreement.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto set forth in Item 1 of this report and the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

When used in this discussion, the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements, which include statements as to our critical accounting policies, our estimates for future revenues and cost of revenues, our expectations regarding future expenses, including research and development and sales and marketing expenses, our estimates regarding the adequacy of our capital resources, our capital requirements and our needs for additional financing, planned capital expenditures, use of our working capital, sources of revenue and anticipated revenues, including licenses of our intellectual property and software, technology development and design contracts and postcontract customer support, the features and benefits of our products, including our new Validator, our business development efforts, future acquisitions or investments, the impact of economic and industry conditions on us and our customers, the anticipated growth of our business, our ability to attract customers and establish license agreements, expectations regarding competition and the impact of recent accounting pronouncements, are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those risks discussed below, as well as our dependence upon and trends in capital spending budgets in the semiconductor industry and fluctuations in general economic conditions, the seasonality of the buying patterns of our customers, the concentration of sales to large customers, our ability to rapidly develop new technology and introduce new products, our ability to safeguard our intellectual property and the matters discussed in “Factors That May Affect Results.” These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to customer programs and incentives, bad debts, investments, income taxes, financing operations, warranty obligations, long-term service contracts, and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the Company’s more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

Our revenue recognition policy is significant because our revenue is a key component of our results of operations. In addition, our revenue recognition determines the timing of certain expenses, such as royalties. We follow very specific and detailed guidelines in measuring revenue in accordance with the provisions of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” as amended by Statement of Position 98-4 and Statement of Position 98-9; however, certain judgments affect the application of our revenue policy. Revenue results are difficult to predict, and any shortfall in revenue or delay in recognizing revenue could cause our operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and could result in future operating losses.

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

We record an investment impairment charge when we believe an investment has experienced a decline in value that is other than temporary. Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of underlying investments could result in losses or an inability to recover the carrying value of the investments that may not be reflected in an investment’s current carrying value, thereby possibly requiring an impairment charge in the future.

We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While we have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of our net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.

Overview

We provide proprietary technologies for embedded test that enable the more efficient design and manufacture of complex semiconductors. Our embedded test solution allows integrated circuit designers to embed into a semiconductor design test functionality that can be used during semiconductor production and throughout the useful life of the chip. In addition, our solutions allow integrated circuits to be tested after they have been assembled onto boards and systems, which enables diagnostic tests throughout the product’s life.

Our proprietary technology enables semiconductor companies to embed self-testers into the chip design. Our embedded test products generate proprietary circuit structures that are incorporated into an integrated circuit to test and diagnose the chip at full speed, without the signal delay or degradation experienced by external testers. Our proprietary circuits are designed to be modular and reusable, to enable more efficient design and to address time-to-market issues. In June 2002, we introduced a desktop silicon debug solution, Validator, for at-speed debugging of silicon incorporated with LogicVision’s embedded test technologies. We believe the Validator in combination with our embedded test products can save months in time-to market for our customers’ new chips transitioning from initial silicon prototypes to volume production.

From 1995 to 1998, most of our customers were large systems companies that used our technology in their application specific integrated circuits as part of system development and diagnostics. Beginning in 1998, we expanded our customer base to include semiconductor companies that use our technology for complex chip development and testing. We license our intellectual property and software through a direct sales force in the U.S., Japan and Europe, and through distributors in India and Israel and sales representatives in Japan, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan.

On July 18, 2002, we entered into a Business Transfer Agreement with our distributor in Japan. Pursuant to this agreement, we acquired certain fixed assets, customer lists, transitional services and a covenant not to compete (“non-competition agreement”) for a period of one year. We accounted for the acquisition as a purchase. The aggregate purchase price of the transaction was $1.9 million of which $1.7 million was paid and the remaining $200,000 will be paid on December 27, 2002. The purchase price includes professional fees and other direct costs of the acquisition totaling $58,000. Based on an independent third-party valuation analysis, we allocated $620,000 to transitional services from July 18, 2002 to December 31, 2002 and $1.3 million to the non-competition agreement over the period of benefit which ends on July 17, 2003.

In October 2002, the Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to which we were to acquire all of the outstanding shares of PurpleVision Technologies Private Limited was terminated in accordance with its terms. Under the agreement, if the purchase transaction was not completed by October 7, 2002, the agreement was terminated. We recognized a charge of $196,000 for professional fee expenses associated with the negotiation and termination of the agreement.

In 2002, adverse general economic conditions and conditions in the semiconductor industry resulted in a substantial decrease in orders. We expect these conditions in the general economy and in the semiconductor industry to continue to impact adversely our existing and prospective customers’ ability to purchase our products and services.

We derive our license revenues from licenses of our intellectual property and software. We derive service revenues from fixed fee technology development and design contracts and postcontract customer support. Our licenses typically have terms ranging from one year to three years. Our pricing depends upon a number of factors, including the type of intellectual property, contract terms, number and complexity of designs and number of design teams and their locations. Some of our license agreements include a royalty feature under which our customers pay us additional fees for each chip design they complete that incorporates our technology.

We recognize the full amount of license fees upon shipment only when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, shipment has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility of the sales proceeds is considered probable. When multiple elements exist and where vendor-specific objective evidence, or VSOE, of the fair value of undelivered elements such as postcontract customer support exists, we apply the residual method of accounting to the delivered elements.

Our history of selling postcontract customer support provides VSOE of fair value of postcontract customer support through contractual renewal rates. Accordingly, because we have VSOE for the postcontract customer support sold in connection with our licenses of more than one year, we typically recognize the residual amount of the contract fee as license fee upon delivery of the software. When vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair value of the undelivered element cannot be established, and the undelivered element is postcontract customer support, all related revenues are recognized ratably over the term of our postcontract customer support obligations. Because we are generally unable to establish vendor-specific objective evidence of the undelivered elements with respect to our one-year licenses, we recognize revenues from one-year licenses ratably over the license term. We also recognize the maintenance elements of all contracts ratably over the period of the maintenance contract. When we enter into a multiple element arrangement which includes the future delivery of a specified product or upgrade, all revenues under the agreement are deferred until the specified product or upgrade has been delivered.

On occasion, we offer extended payment terms beyond our normal business practice of between 30 and 60 days to certain customers. We do not have sufficient experience collecting under these extended payment term arrangements. As a result, when payment terms are extended, the fee is not considered fixed or determinable and, therefore, we recognize revenues when those payments become due.

Deferred revenues primarily consist of maintenance and support services under maintenance contracts and unearned revenue on one-year term licenses. For design services and technology development contracts, deferred revenues represent the excess of amounts invoiced or received over the revenue recognized. Deferred revenues fluctuate at each period end in accordance with the mix of contracts.

Historically, a substantial portion of our total revenues has been derived from customers outside the United States and Canada, primarily from Asia and Europe. International revenues as a percentage of our total revenues was approximately 10% and 31% for the three month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. International revenues as a percentage of our total revenues was approximately 22% and 27% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. We anticipate that international revenues will remain a substantial portion of our total revenues in the future. To date, all of the revenues from international customers have been denominated in U.S. dollars.

We derive substantially all of our revenues from license and service revenues associated with the sale of products, including support and maintenance fees. As a percentage of our total revenues, these license and service revenues accounted for 98.7% and 100% for the three month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. As a percentage of our total revenues, these license and service revenues accounted for 99.5% and 100% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. We expect that license and service revenues will continue to account for a substantial portion of our total revenues for the foreseeable future.

Cost of license revenues consists of shipping, product packaging, software license and maintenance costs, and royalties paid to third party vendors. Cost of service revenues consists of compensation and related costs and third party consultant costs associated with providing postcontract customer support and consulting services.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for personnel. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for sales and marketing personnel, marketing programs, public relations, promotional materials, amortization of non-competition agreement, travel and related trade show expenses.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for general management, information technology, finance and accounting personnel, insurance, allowance for doubtful accounts, professional services and related fees and expenses.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001

Revenues

Total revenues decreased $822,000 or 17.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001. Total revenues were $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in total revenues was primarily attributable to decreases in license and service revenues of $687,000 and $185,000, respectively. The decrease in license and service revenues were primarily due to decreased demand from fabless semiconductor companies and integrated device manufacturers.

Cost of Revenues

Total cost of revenues increased $298,000 or 32.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001. Total cost of revenues were $1.2 million or 30.7% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $924,000 or 19.2% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel related expenses of $136,000 caused by an increase in the time spent by our engineers on service activities and the amortization of the transitional services of $206,000 associated with the acquisition of the distributor business in Japan. We expect the cost of revenues will increase in absolute dollars as we continue to experience higher services cost as a result of establishing a direct sales and service organization in Japan.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses remained constant for the three months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001. Research and development expenses were $1.1 million or 28.8% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $1.1 million or 23.6% of revenues for the same period in the prior year. We expect that our research and development expenses will remain constant in absolute dollars in future periods.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses increased $438,000 or 19.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001. Sales and marketing expenses were $2.7 million or 67.4% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $2.2 million or 46.8% of revenues for the same period in the prior year. The increase was due to higher payroll and related expenses of $537,000 primarily associated with hiring of 8 additional employees, an increase in consulting expenses of $155,000, and an increase in the amortization expenses of $264,000 resulting from the acquisition of the distributor business in Japan, partly offset by a decrease in the overall commission rate resulting in lower commission expenses of $410,000 and a decrease in bonuses of $52,000. We expect that our sales and marketing expenses will increase in absolute dollars as we continue to expand our sales and marketing efforts.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased $785,000 or 177.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001. General and administrative expenses were $1.2 million or 30.8% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $442,000 or 9.2% of revenues for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in insurance, legal and accounting expenses of $309,000 associated with being a public company and $196,000 of professional fee expenses in connection with the proposed acquisition of PurpleVision Technologies Private Limited, which was terminated in October 2002. In addition, in the three months ended September 30, 2001, we collected $140,000 that had previously been reserved as a bad debt.

Interest and Other Income

Interest income increased $244,00 or 810.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001. Interest income was $273,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $29,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase was due to increased interest income resulting from higher investment balances as a result of our initial public offering in November 2001.

Income Taxes

Our net operating losses are generated domestically, and amounts attributed to our foreign operations have been insignificant for all periods presented. For the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, we incurred net operating losses and accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of deferred tax assets.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 COMPARED WITH THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001

Revenues

Total revenues increased $1.2 million or 14.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Total revenues were $13.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $11.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in total revenues was primarily attributable to increases in license and service revenues of $1.3 million and $288,000, respectively. The increase in license and service revenues was primarily due to increased demand from integrated device manufacturers.

Cost of Revenues

Total cost of revenues increased $1.2 million or 53.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Total cost of revenues were $3.3 million or 24.5% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $2.2 million or 18.2% of revenues for nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel related expenses of $723,000 caused by an increase in the time spent by our engineers on service activities, the amortization of the transitional services of $206,000 associated with the acquisition of the distributor business in Japan, an increase in the amortization related to capitalized technology license costs of $89,000 and higher royalty expenses of $48,000.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses decreased $201,000 or 5.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Research and development expenses were $3.7 million or 27.4% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $3.9 million or 33.1% of revenues for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the time spent by our engineers on research and development activities of $313,000 caused by an increase in the time spent on service activities, and a decrease in bonuses of $194,000, partly offset by an increase in engineering consulting expenses of $361,000.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $280,000 or 3.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Sales and marketing expenses were $7.2 million or 52.9% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $7.4 million or 62.9% of revenues for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the overall commission rate resulting in lower commissions of $1.0 million, a decrease in the bonuses of $95,000, a decrease in travel expenses of $133,000, and a decrease in the time spent by our sales engineers on selling activities of $183,000 caused by an

increase in the time spent on service activities, partly offset by higher payroll and related expenses of $702,000 primarily associated with hiring of 8 additional employees, an increase in consulting expenses of $129,000, and an increase in the amortization expenses of $264,000 resulting from the acquisition of the distributor business in Japan.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased $1.2 million or 57.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001. General and administrative expenses were $3.2 million or 23.7% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $2.0 million or 17.2% of revenues for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $715,000 in insurance, legal and accounting expenses associated with being a public company and $196,000 of professional fee expenses in connection with the proposed acquisition of PurpleVision Technologies Private Limited, which was terminated in October 2002, and an increase in allowance for doubtful accounts of $27,000. In addition, in the nine months ended September 30, 2001, we collected $261,000 of accounts receivable that were previously written off during that period.

Interest and other Income

Interest income increased $651,000 or 316.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Interest income was $857,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $206,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase was due to increased interest income resulting from higher investment balances as a result of our initial public offering in November 2001.

Income Taxes

Our net operating losses are generated domestically, and amounts attributed to our foreign operations have been insignificant for all periods presented. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, we incurred net operating losses and accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have funded our operations primarily from license and service revenues received from inception to September 30, 2002, the net proceeds of $41.1 million from our initial public offering of Common Stock in November 2001, and the proceeds of approximately $47.5 million from the sale of Preferred Stock and warrants and the exercise of stock options.

Net cash used in operating activities was $5.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and $3.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was primarily due to a net loss of $4.3 million, a decrease in deferred revenues of $2.3 million, a decrease in accrued liabilities of $157,000, an increase in accounts receivable of $1.1 million and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current expenses of $244,000. This was partly offset by non-cash charges relating to depreciation and amortization of stock based compensation of $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and an increase in accounts payable of $179,000. Net cash used in operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was primarily due to a net loss of $5.6 million, a decrease in accrued liabilities of $291,000 and a decrease in deferred revenue of $782,000, an increase in prepaid expenses and other current expenses of $535,000, partly offset by non-cash charges relating to depreciation and amortization of stock based compensation of $805,000 and $2.1 million, respectively, and a decrease in accounts receivable of $1.0 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $14.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and $931,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was primarily due to the purchase and sales of long-term marketable securities of $10.5 million, the purchase of short-term investments of $2.0 million, the purchase of property and equipment of $503,000 and the payments related to the acquisition of the distributor business in Japan of $1.3 million. Net cash used in

investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was primarily due to the purchase of property and equipment of $688,000 and the payments related to a technology license agreement of $243,000.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $744,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and $107,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was primarily due to the net proceeds of $244,000 received from the employee stock purchase plan purchases and issuance of common stock pursuant to exercise of employee stock options, and proceeds of $500,000 borrowed from our line of credit. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was due to the issuance of common stock pursuant to exercise of employee stock options.

In December 2001, we amended and restated our Loan Agreement with a bank under which we may borrow, on a revolving basis, up to $5.0 million at an interest rate equal to prime rate, which was equal to an annual rate of 4.75% at September 30, 2002. Under the amended and restated agreement, the loan is unsecured and is not collateralized by our assets. Under the agreement, we must comply with certain operating and reporting covenants and are not permitted to pay dividends, or make material investments or dispositions without the prior written consent of the bank. If we fail to comply with our covenants under the agreement, the bank can declare any outstanding amounts immediately due and payable and cease advancing money or extending credit to or for us. The agreement expires in December 2002. At September 30, 2002, we had a $500,000 balance outstanding under this agreement and had accrued an interest expense of $800. At September 30, 2002, we were in compliance with all the operating and reporting covenants with the bank.

At September 30, 2002, we had cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and marketable securities of $40.2 million and working capital of $16.6 million.

We rent office facilities under noncancelable operating leases which expire through July 2006. We are responsible for certain maintenance costs, taxes and insurance under the respective leases. Total future minimum payments under such operating leases at September 30, 2002 were $2.5 million.

We expect to finance these future commitments using existing cash resources. We currently anticipate that our available cash resources will be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating, capital requirements and business acquisitions for at least the next 12 months.

We intend to continue to invest in the development of new products and enhancements to our existing products. Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including the costs and timing of expansion of product development efforts and the success of these development efforts, the costs and timing of expansion of sales and marketing activities, the extent to which our existing and new products gain market acceptance, competing technological and market developments, the costs involved in maintaining and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights, the level and timing of license and service revenues, available borrowings under line of credit arrangements and other factors. In addition, we may utilize cash resources to fund acquisitions of, or investments in, complementary businesses, technologies or product lines. From time to time, we may be required to raise additional funds through public or private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements. There can be no assurance that such funding, if needed, will be available on terms attractive to us, or at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. Strategic arrangements, if necessary to raise additional funds, may require us to relinquish our rights to certain of our technologies or products. Our failure to raise capital when needed could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS

If the semiconductor industry does not adopt embedded test technology, our revenues could decline and our stock price could fall.

To date, the semiconductor industry has not adopted embedded test technology as an alternative to current testing methods on a widespread basis. If the semiconductor industry does not adopt embedded test technology widely and in the near future, our growth will be limited, our revenues could decline, and our stock price could fall. We cannot assure you that integrated circuit designers and design companies’ customers will accept embedded test technology as an alternative to current testing methods in the time frame we anticipate, or at all. The industry may fail to adopt embedded test technology for many reasons, including the following:

•

potential customers may determine that existing solutions adequately address their testing needs, or the industry may develop alternative technologies to address their testing needs;

•

our existing and potential customers may continue to react to declining demand for semiconductors by curtailing or delaying new initiatives for new complex semiconductors or by extending the approval process for new projects, thereby lengthening our sales cycles;

•

potential customers may not be willing to accept the perceived delays in the early design stages associated with implementing embedded test technology in order to achieve potential time savings at later stages of silicon debugging and production testing;

•

potential customers may have concerns over the reliability of embedded testing methods relative to existing test methods; and

•

designers may be reluctant to take on the added responsibility of incorporating embedded test technology as part of their design process, or to learn how to implement embedded test technology.

If the industries into which we sell our products experience recession or other cyclical effects impacting our customers’ research and development budgets, our operating results could be negatively impacted.

Our sales are dependent upon capital spending trends and new design projects, and a substantial portion of our costs is fixed in the near term. The demand from our customers, including integrated device manufacturers, fabless semiconductor companies and systems providers, is uncertain and difficult to predict. Slower growth in the semiconductor and systems industries, such as postponed or canceled capital expenditures for previously planned expansions or new fabrication facility construction projects, a reduced number of design starts, reduction of design and test budgets or continued consolidation among our customers would harm our business and financial condition. For example, we continue to see significant reductions in the number of design starts and have experienced delayed orders by customers in 2002.

The primary customers for semiconductors that incorporate our embedded test technology are companies in the communications, networking, server and high-end consumer products industries. Any significant downturn in these particular markets or in general economic conditions which result in the cutback of research and development budgets or capital expenditures would likely result in a reduction in demand for our products and services and could harm our business. For example, the U.S. economy, including the semiconductor industry, is currently experiencing a slowdown, which may continue to negatively impact our business and operating results as the number of design starts by current and potential customers decline. Some analysts have predicted that a further decline in the United States economy may result from recent volatility in the financial markets. If the economy continues to decline as a result of the recent economic, political and social turmoil, existing and prospective customers may further reduce their design budgets or delay implementation of our products, which could harm our business and operating results.

In addition, the markets for semiconductor products are cyclical. In recent years, some Asian countries have experienced significant economic difficulties, including devaluation and instability, business failures and a depressed business environment. These difficulties triggered a significant downturn in the semiconductor market, resulting in reduced budgets for chip design tools. In addition, the electronics industry has historically been subject to seasonal and cyclical fluctuations in demand for its products, and this trend may continue in the future. These industry downturns have been, and may continue to be, characterized by diminished product demand, excess manufacturing capacity and subsequent erosion of average selling prices. As a result, our future operating results may reflect substantial fluctuations from period to period as a consequence of these industry patterns, general economic conditions affecting the timing of orders from customers and other factors. Any negative factors affecting the semiconductor industry, including the downturns described here, could significantly harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have a history of losses and an accumulated deficit of approximately $54.4 million as of September 30, 2002. If we do not generate sufficient net revenue in the future to achieve or sustain profitability, our stock price could decline.

We have incurred significant net losses since our inception, including losses of $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, $6.3 million in fiscal 2001 and $12.9 million in fiscal 2000. At September 30, 2002, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $54.4 million. We expect our future revenues to be negatively impacted by current market and customer conditions, and we expect to continue to increase our investment in our research and development projects and to continue to hire additional personnel in sales and service operations to support our business development activities. Because we expect to continue to increase our investment in business development, our expenditures could outpace growth in our revenues, thus preventing us from achieving and maintaining profitability. To achieve and maintain profitability, we will need to generate and sustain substantially higher revenues while maintaining reasonable cost and expense levels. If we fail to achieve profitability within the time frame expected by securities analysts or investors, the market price of our common stock will likely decline. We may not achieve profitability if our revenues do not increase or if they increase more slowly than we expect. In addition, our operating expenses are largely fixed, and any shortfall in anticipated revenues in any given period could harm our operating results. If we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or an annual basis.

The sales and implementation cycles for our products are typically long and unpredictable, taking from six months to two years for sales and an additional six to twelve months for implementation. As a result, we may have difficulty predicting future revenues and our revenues and operating results may fluctuate significantly, which could cause our stock price to fluctuate.

We believe that convincing a potential customer to integrate our technology into an integrated circuit at the design stage, which we refer to as a design win, is critical to retaining existing customers and to obtaining new customers. However, acceptance of our embedded test technology generally involves a significant commitment of resources by prospective customers and a fundamental change in their method of designing and testing integrated circuits. Many of our potential customers are large enterprises that generally do not adopt new design methodologies quickly. Also, we may have limited access to the key decision-makers of potential customers who can authorize the adoption of our technology. As a result, the period between our initial contact with a potential customer and the sale of our products to that customer, if any, is often lengthy and may include delays associated with our customers’ budgeting and approval processes, as well as a substantial investment of our time and resources. We have incurred high customer engagement and support costs, including sales commissions, and the failure to manage these costs could harm our operating results.

Historically, our sales cycle has ranged from six months to two years and our customers’ implementation cycle has been approximately an additional six to twelve months. If we fail to achieve a design win with a potential customer early in a given product cycle, it is unlikely that the potential customer will become a customer before its next product cycle, if at all. Because of the length of our sales cycle, our failure to achieve design wins could have a material and prolonged adverse effect on our sales and revenue growth. Our revenue streams may fluctuate significantly due to the length of our sales cycle, which may make our future revenues difficult to project and may cause our stock price to fluctuate.

Fluctuations in our revenues and operating results could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

Our revenues and operating results have fluctuated significantly from quarter to quarter in the past and may do so in the future, which could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. Accordingly, quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations may not be an indication of our future performance. In future periods, our revenues and results of operations may be below the estimates of public market analysts and investors. This discrepancy could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

Fluctuations in our revenues and operating results may be caused by:

•

timing, terms and conditions of customer agreements;

•

timing of sales commission expenses and the recognition of license revenues from related customer agreements;

•

timing and acceptance of new technologies, product releases or enhancements by us, our competitors or our customers;

•

timing and completion of milestones under customer agreements;

•

the mix of our license and services revenues;

•

changes in our and our customers’ development schedules and levels of expenditures on research and development;

•

customers placing orders at the end of the quarter;

•

industry patterns and changes or cyclical and seasonal fluctuations in the markets we target; and

•

market and general economic conditions.

Delays or deferrals in purchasing decisions by our customers may increase as we develop new or enhanced products. Our current dependence on a small number of customers increases the revenue impact of each customer’s actions relative to these factors. Our expense levels are based, in large part, on our expectations regarding future revenues, and as a result net income for any quarterly period in which material customer agreements are delayed could vary significantly from our budget projections.

The accounting rules regarding revenue recognition may cause fluctuations in our revenues independent of our booking position.

The accounting rules we are required to follow require us to recognize revenues only when certain criteria are met. As a result, for a given quarter it is possible for us to fall short in our revenues and/or earnings estimates even though total orders are according to our plan or, conversely, to meet our revenue and/or earnings estimates even though total orders fall short of our plan, due to revenues produced by deferred revenues. Orders for software support and professional services yield revenues over multiple quarters, often rather than at the time of sale. The specific terms agreed to with a customer and/or any changes to the rules interpreting such terms may have the effect of requiring deferral of product revenues in whole or in part or, alternatively, of requiring us to accelerate the recognition of such revenues for products to be used over multiple years.

Intense competition in the semiconductor and systems industries, particularly in the design and test of semiconductors, could prevent us from increasing or sustaining our revenues and prevent us from achieving or sustaining profitability.

The semiconductor and system industries are extremely competitive and characterized by rapidly changing technology. The market for embedded test solutions is still evolving, and we expect competition to become more intense in the future. Our current principal competitors in the design phase of product development include:

•

electronic design automation providers such as Cadence Design Systems, Inc., Mentor Graphics Corporation and Synopsys, Inc., all of which offer basic built-in self-test capability;

•

smaller test tool providers such as SynTest Technologies, Inc.;

•

potential customers that develop test solutions internally; and

•

integrated device manufacturers, such as IBM, that use their own test solutions in chips manufactured for and sold to others.

Our embedded test technology also has the potential to impact the automated test equipment market, which may place us in competition with traditional hardware tester manufacturers such as Teradyne, Inc., Credence Systems Corporation, Advantest Corporation, Agilent Technologies, Inc., LTX Corporation and NP Test Inc. As embedded test becomes adopted more widely in the market, any of these automated test equipment companies, or others, may offer their own embedded test solutions.

Some of our competitors are significantly larger than we are and have greater financial resources, greater name recognition and longer operating histories than we have. Some of our competitors offer a more comprehensive range of products than we do, and they may be able to respond more quickly or adjust prices more effectively to take advantage of new opportunities or customer requirements. Increased competition and the current downturn in the semiconductor industry could result in pricing pressures, reduced sales, reduced margins or failure to achieve or maintain widespread market acceptance, any of which could prevent us from increasing or sustaining our revenues and achieving or sustaining profitability.

Our target markets are comprised of a limited number of customers. If we fail to obtain or retain customer relationships, our revenues could decline.

We derive a significant portion of our revenues from a relatively small number of customers. Eight customers accounted for approximately 56% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, of which three customers accounted for 13%, 11% and 10% of total revenues, respectively. Fifteen customers accounted for approximately 50% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001, of which no single customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenues. We anticipate that we will continue to rely on a limited number of customers for a substantial portion of our revenues in the future. As a result, we must obtain orders from new significant customers on an ongoing basis to increase our revenues and grow our business. In addition, the loss of any significant or well-known customer could harm our operating results or our reputation. In particular, a loss of a significant customer could cause fluctuations in our results of operations because our expenses are fixed in the short term, it takes us a long time to replace customers and, because of required methods of revenue recognition, any offsetting license revenues may need to be recognized over a period of time.

Our products incorporate technology licensed from third parties, including Nortel Networks. If any of these licenses are terminated, our ability to develop and license our products could be delayed or reduced.

We use technology, including software, which we license from third parties. In particular, we license technology from Nortel Networks under two patents for testing embedded memories and digital systems, and we use the Nortel technology in our embedded test technology. Our license agreement with Nortel may be terminated if we materially violate the terms of the agreement, if a competitor of Nortel acquires a significant percentage of our common stock without first obtaining Nortel’s consent or if we bring patent infringement proceedings against Nortel

under any patent embodied in, or acquired as a result of access to, the technology we license from Nortel. If we do not maintain our existing third party technology licenses or enter into licenses for alternative technologies, we could be required to cease or delay product shipments while we seek to develop alternative technologies.

We depend on third parties to provide electronic design automation software that is compatible with our solution. If these third parties do not continue to provide compatible design products, we would need to develop alternatives, which could delay product introductions and cause our revenues and operating results to decline.

Our customers depend on electronic design automation software to design their products using our solution. We depend on the same software to develop our products. Although we have established relationships with a variety of electronic design automation vendors to gain access to this software and to assure compatibility, these relationships may be terminated with limited notice. If any of these relationships were terminated and we were unable to obtain alternative software in a timely manner, our customers could be unable to use our solution. In addition, we could experience a significant increase in development costs, our development process could take longer, product introductions could be delayed and our revenues and operating results could decline.

If automated test equipment companies are unwilling to work with us to make our technology compatible with theirs, we may need to pursue alternatives, which could increase the time it takes us to bring our solution to market and decrease customer acceptance of our technology.

Although we are presently working with a number of automated test equipment companies to achieve optimal compatibility of our technologies, these companies may elect not to work with us in the future. If automated test equipment companies are unwilling to incorporate modifications into their equipment and operating systems to allow them to work with our technology, we may need to seek alternatives. These alternatives might not provide optimal levels of test function, and pursuing these alternatives could increase the time and expense it takes us to bring our technology to market, either of which could decrease customer acceptance of our technology and cause our revenues and margins to decline.

We have recently introduced a hardware product called Validator. If we are unable to successfully manage the manufacturing process and service support for this product, our reputation and our operating results could be harmed.

In June 2002, we introduced our first hardware product, Validator. We rely on an independent subcontractor to manufacture this product for us. Because our other products are delivered in the form of software, we do not have experience in managing the manufacturing and service support for hardware products. If we are unable to accurately predict market demand for Validator, manage lead times in the procurement process and develop and maintain appropriate inventory controls, we may experience shortages or excess inventory. Shortages could result in lost sales opportunities and customers, and excess inventory could become obsolete, resulting in inventory write-offs which would negatively affect our financial results. In addition, we may need to customize our product to meet specifications of our customers outside of the United States.

We obtain several of the components used in this product from single or limited sources. If component manufacturers do not allocate a sufficient supply of components to meet our needs or if current suppliers do not provide components of adequate quality or compatibility, we may have to obtain these components from distributors or on the spot market at a higher cost. We do not have guaranteed supply arrangements with our suppliers, and suppliers may not be able to meet our current or future component requirements. If we are forced to use alternative suppliers of components, we may have to alter our product design to accommodate these components. Alteration of our product design to use alternative components could cause significant delays and reduce our production. In addition, we do not have specific volume purchase agreements with our subcontractor, and the subcontractor could cease supplying the product at any time with limited or no penalty. If we need to replace the subcontractor, we could incur significant manufacturing set-up costs and delays, which in turn could affect inventory levels.

Because this is our first hardware product, our customer support service personnel may experience difficulties in responding to customer needs, and we may be required to obtain third-party assistance, either directly or in the form of further training for our existing support personnel. Delays in customer service could result in

rejection of our product and loss of customer confidence. Third-party assistance could be costly and divert attention of our personnel from primary support of our other products. Loss of sales, damaged reputation or increased costs could harm our revenues and profitability.

Our future success will depend on our ability to keep pace with rapid technological advancements in the semiconductor industry. If we fail to develop and introduce new products and enhancements on a timely basis, our ability to attract and retain customers could be impaired, which would cause our operating results to decline.

The semiconductor industry is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, rapid changes in customer requirements, frequent product introductions and ongoing demands for greater speed and functionality. We must continually design, develop and introduce new products with improved features to be competitive. Our products may not achieve market acceptance or adequately address the changing needs of the marketplace, and we may not be successful in developing and marketing new products or enhancements to our existing products on a timely basis. The introduction of products embodying new technologies, the emergence of new industry standards or changes in customer requirements could render our existing products obsolete and unmarketable. We may not have the financial resources necessary to fund future innovations. If we are unable, for technical, legal, financial or other reasons, to respond in a timely manner to changing market conditions or customer requirements, our business and operating results could be seriously harmed.

Future changes in financial accounting standards, including pronouncements and interpretations of accounting pronouncements on software revenue recognition, may cause adverse unexpected revenue fluctuations and affect our reported results of operations.

A change in accounting policies can have a significant effect on our reported results and may even affect our reporting of transactions completed before a change is announced. In particular, new pronouncements and varying interpretations of pronouncements on software revenue recognition have occurred with frequency, may occur in the future and could impact our revenues. Required changes in our methods of revenue recognition could result in deferral of revenues recognized in current periods to subsequent periods or accelerated recognition of deferred revenues to current periods, each of which could cause shortfalls in meeting the expectations of investors and securities analysts. Our stock price could decline as a result of any shortfall.

Accounting policies affecting many other aspects of our business, including rules relating to revenue recognition, purchase accounting for business combinations and employee stock option grants have recently been revised or are under review. Changes to those rules or the questioning of current practices may adversely affect our reported financial results or the way we conduct our business.

Our embedded test products may have errors or defects that users identify after deployment, which could harm our reputation and our business.

Our products may contain undetected errors when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. We have from time to time found errors in versions of our embedded test products, and we may find errors in our products in the future. The occurrence of errors could cause sales of our products to decline, divert the attention of management and engineering personnel from our product development efforts and cause significant customer relations problems. Customer relations problems could damage our reputation, hinder market acceptance of our products and result in loss of future revenues.

We must continually attract and retain engineering personnel, or we will be unable to execute our business strategy.

We have experienced, and we expect to continue to experience, difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled engineers with appropriate qualifications to support our business. In particular, our strategy for encouraging the adoption of our technology requires that we employ highly skilled applications engineers to work with our customers. As a result, our future success depends in part on our ability to identify, attract, retain and motivate qualified engineering personnel. Competition for qualified engineers is intense, especially in the Silicon Valley

where our headquarters are located. If we lose the services of a significant number of our engineers and we cannot hire and integrate additional engineers, it could disrupt our ability to develop our products and implement our business strategy.

Our chief executive officer, chief scientist and vice president of engineering are critical to our business, and they may not remain with us in the future.

Our future success depends to a significant extent on the continued services of Vinod K. Agarwal, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Benoit Nadeau-Dostie, our Chief Scientist, and Michael C. Howells, our Vice President of Engineering. We do not have employment agreements with these executives and key employees, and we do not maintain key person life insurance policies except on Vinod K. Agarwal. The loss of the services of any of these key executives and employees could slow our product development processes. Searching for replacements could divert senior management’s attention and increase our operating expenses. In addition, our industry partners and customers could become concerned about our future operations, which could injure our reputation.

If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, competitors may be able to use our technologies, which could weaken our competitive position, reduce our revenues or increase our costs.

Our success and ability to compete depend largely upon the protection of our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements to establish and protect our proprietary rights. Our pending patent applications may not result in issued patents, and our existing and future patents may not be sufficiently broad to protect our proprietary technologies. Policing unauthorized use of our products is difficult and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent the misappropriation or unauthorized use of our technologies, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as U.S. law. Any patents we obtain or license may not be adequate to protect our proprietary rights. Our competitors may independently develop similar technology, duplicate our products or design around any patents issued to us or other intellectual property rights.

Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights or to determine the validity or scope of the proprietary rights of others. As a result of any such litigation, we could lose our proprietary rights and incur substantial unexpected operating costs. We may need to take legal action to enforce our proprietary rights in the future. Any action we take to protect our intellectual property rights could be costly and could absorb significant management time and attention. In addition, failure to adequately protect our trademark rights could impair our brand identity and our ability to compete effectively.

Any dispute involving our patents or other intellectual property could include our industry partners and customers, which could trigger our indemnification obligations to them and result in substantial expense to us.

In any dispute involving our patents or other intellectual property, our licensees could also become the target of litigation. This could trigger technical support and indemnification obligations in some of our license agreements which could result in substantial expenses. In addition to the time and expense required for us to support or indemnify our licensees, any such litigation could severely disrupt or shut down the business of our licensees, which in turn could hurt our relations with our customers and cause the sale of our proprietary technologies and products to decrease.

We have limited control over third-party representatives who market, sell and support our products in foreign markets. Loss of these relationships could decrease our revenues and harm our business.

We sell our products and services through distributors in India and Israel and sales representatives in Japan, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan. We anticipate that sales in these markets will account for a significant percentage of our total revenues in future periods. Our third-party representatives are not obligated to continue selling our products, and they may terminate their arrangements with us at any time with limited prior notice. Establishing

alternative distribution channels in any of these markets could consume substantial time and resources, decrease our revenues and increase our expenses.

We face business, political and economic risks because a significant portion of our sales are to customers outside of the United States.

International revenues from sales outside the United States and Canada accounted for 22% of our total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 27% for year ended December 31, 2001. Our success depends upon continued expansion of our international operations, and we expect that a significant portion of our total future revenues will be generated from international sales. Our international business involves a number of risks, including:

•

our ability to adapt our products to foreign design methods and practices;

•

cultural differences in the conduct of business;

•

difficulty in attracting qualified personnel;

•

managing foreign branch offices and subsidiaries;

•

longer payment cycles for and greater difficulty collecting accounts receivable;

•

unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, royalties and withholding taxes that restrict the repatriation of earnings;

•

tariffs and other trade barriers;

•

the burden of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws; and

•

political, economic or military conditions associated with current worldwide conflicts and events.

Our international sales are currently denominated in U.S. dollars, creating a risk that fluctuation in currency exchange rates will make our prices uncompetitive. To the extent that profit is generated or losses are incurred in foreign countries, our effective income tax rate may be significantly affected. Any of these factors could significantly harm our future international sales and, consequently, our revenues and results of operations and business and financial condition.

Our growth places a significant strain on our management systems and resources, and if we fail to manage this growth, our business will be harmed.

The growth which we have experienced has placed a significant strain on our resources and increased demands on our management information and reporting systems, financial and management controls and personnel. To manage our growth, we must implement and improve additional and existing administrative, financial and operations systems, procedures and controls. We may not be able to develop the internal capabilities or collaborative relationships required to manage future growth and expansion or to support future operations. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, our revenues could decline.

We may be unable to consummate future potential acquisitions or investments or successfully integrate acquired businesses or investments with our business, which may disrupt our business, divert management’s attention and slow our ability to expand the range of our proprietary technologies and products.

Our establishment of a wholly owned Japanese subsidiary require significant management attention, which could distract our management from day to day operations and could disrupt our business. Additionally if we fail to successfully transition customer relationships and transfer all designated customer contracts and related assets from our Japanese distributor to our wholly owned Japanese subsidiary, the revenues and operating results of our combined company could decline. To realize the benefits of this transaction, we must successfully integrate our wholly owned Japanese subsidiary into our existing operations despite differences in culture, language and legal environments. In addition, because we do not have the same experience and relationships as our former distributor in Japan, we may not succeed in our efforts to develop a direct sales presence in Japan, and the cost of these efforts may be significant. If our customers are uncertain about our ability to operate on a combined basis or about developing a more direct relationship with us, they could delay or cancel orders for our products.

We intend to continue to expand the range of our proprietary technologies and products, and we may acquire or make investments in additional complementary businesses, technologies or products, if appropriate opportunities arise. We may be unable to identify suitable acquisition or investment candidates at reasonable prices or on reasonable terms, or consummate future acquisitions or investments, each of which could slow our growth strategy. If we do acquire additional companies or make other types of acquisitions, we may have difficulty integrating the acquired products, personnel or technologies. We may not be able to retain key management, technical or sales personnel after an acquisition. These difficulties could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses.

Intellectual property litigation, which is common in our industry, could be costly, harm our reputation, limit our ability to license or sell our proprietary technologies or products and divert the attention of management and technical personnel.

The semiconductor industry is characterized by frequent litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. While we have not received formal notice of any infringement of the rights of any third party, questions of infringement in the semiconductor field involve highly technical and subjective analyses. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce any patents we may receive and other intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity, and we may not prevail in any future litigation. Any such litigation, whether or not determined in our favor or settled, could be costly, could harm our reputation and could divert the efforts and attention of our management and technical personnel from normal business operations. Adverse determinations in litigation could result in the loss of our proprietary rights, subject us to significant liabilities, require us to seek licenses from third parties or prevent us from licensing our technology or selling our products, any of which could harm our business.

Our stock price may decline significantly because of stock market fluctuations that affect the prices of technology stocks. A decline in our stock price could result in securities class action litigation against us that could divert management’s attention and harm our business.

The stock market has experienced significant price and trading volume fluctuations that have adversely affected the market prices of common stock of technology companies. These broad market fluctuations may reduce the market price of our common stock. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company after periods of volatility in the market price of securities. In the future, we may be a target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources, which in turn could harm our ability to execute our business plan.

Our ability to raise capital in the future may be limited and our failure to raise capital when needed could prevent us from growing.

We believe that our existing cash resources and available debt financing, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months. However, the timing and amount of our working capital and capital expenditure requirements may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including:

•

the costs and timing of expansion of product development efforts and the success of these development efforts;

•

the costs and timing of expansion of sales and marketing activities;

•

the extent to which our existing and new products gain market acceptance;

•

the need to adapt to changing technologies and technical requirements;

•

competing technological and marketing developments;

•

the costs involved in maintaining and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights;

•

the level and timing of license and service revenues;

•

the existence of opportunities for expansion and for acquisitions of, investments in, complementary businesses, technologies or product lines; and

•

access to and availability of sufficient management, technical, marketing and financial personnel.

If our capital resources are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity securities or debt securities or obtain debt financing. The sale of additional equity securities or debt securities would result in additional dilution to our stockholders. Additional debt would result in increased expenses and could result in covenants that would restrict our operations. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, this would significantly limit our ability to hire, train or retain employees, support our expansion, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities such as acquisitions of businesses or technologies, develop or enhance products, or respond to competitive pressures.

ITEM 3:

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Fluctuations

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risk from the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the U.S. dollar value from our foreign operations and financial condition. Substantially all of our revenues have been denominated in U.S. dollars; however, as we increase our direct sales activities in Japan, it may be necessary to have our sales to be denominated in the Japanese yen. In addition, the operating expenses incurred by our foreign subsidiaries are denominated in local currencies. Accordingly, we are subject to exposure from movements in foreign currency exchange rates. To date, the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on our financial position and operating results have not been material. We currently do not use financial instruments to hedge foreign currency risks. We intend to assess the use of financial instruments to hedge currency exposures on an ongoing basis.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relate primarily to our investment portfolio. We have not used derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. We invest our excess cash in high-quality corporate issuers and in debt instruments of the U.S. Government and, by policy, limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. As stated in our policy, we are averse to principal loss and seek to preserve our invested funds by limiting default risk, market risk and reinvestment risk. We mitigate default risk by investing in high credit quality securities and by positioning our portfolio to respond appropriately to a significant reduction in a credit rating of any investment issuer or guarantor. The portfolio includes only marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity.

Investments in both fixed and floating rate interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to rising interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities which have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates.

Short-term investments and long-term investments are classified as held-to-maturity and the cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. At September 30, 2002, short-term securities consisted of a bank certificate of deposit of $2.0 million and long-term securities consisted solely of U.S. Government securities of $22.5 million.

ITEM 4:
