MARVELL TECHNOLOGY GROUP LTD.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. The Company and its Significant Accounting Policies

 

The Company

 

Marvell Technology Group Ltd. (the “Company”), a Bermuda company, was incorporated on January 11, 1995. The Company is a leading global semiconductor provider of high-performance analog, mixed-signal, digital signal processing and embedded microprocessor integrated circuits. The Company’s diverse product portfolio includes switching, transceivers, wireless, PC connectivity, gateways, communications controllers, storage and power management solutions that serve diverse applications used in business enterprise, consumer electronics and emerging markets.

 

Basis of presentation

 

The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. In a 52-week year, each fiscal quarter consists of 13 weeks. The additional week in a 53-week year is added to the fourth quarter, making such quarter consist of 14 weeks. Fiscal years 2006 and 2005 are comprised of 52-weeks. For presentation purposes only, the financial statements and notes refer to January 31 as the Company’s year-end and April 30, July 31 and October 31 as the Company’s quarter-ends.

 

On February 25, 2004, the Board of Directors approved a 2 for 1 stock split of the Company’s common stock, to be effected pursuant to the issuance of additional shares. The stock split was subject to shareholder approval of an increase in the Company’s authorized share capital at the Company’s 2004 Annual General Meeting.  On May 28, 2004, shareholders at the Company’s 2004 Annual General Meeting approved an increase in the authorized share capital by 250.0 million shares of common stock.  Stock certificates representing one additional share for each share held were delivered on June 28, 2004 (payment date) to all shareholders of record at the close of business on June 14, 2004 (record date).  All share and per share amounts in these condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split for all periods presented.

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position as of July 31, 2005, the results of its operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2005 and 2004, and its cash flows for the three and six months ended July 31, 2005 and 2004. These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2005. The results of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Under these criteria, product revenue is generally recognized upon shipment of product to customers, net of accruals for estimated sales returns and allowances. However, some of the Company’s sales are made through distributors under agreements allowing for price protection and rights of return on product unsold by the distributors. Product revenue on sales made through distributors with rights of return is deferred until the distributors sell the product to end customers. Additionally, collection is not deemed to be “reasonably assured” if customers receive extended payment terms. As a result, revenue on sales to customers with payment terms substantially greater than the Company’s normal payment terms is deferred and is recognized as revenue as the payments become due. Deferred revenue less the related cost of the inventories is reported as deferred income.

 

The provision for estimated sales returns and allowances on product sales is recorded in the same period the related revenues are recorded. These estimates are based on historical sales returns, analysis of credit memo data and other known factors. Actual returns could differ from these estimates.

 

6

 

The Company also enters into development agreements with some of its customers. Development revenue is recognized under the proportionate performance method, with the associated costs included in research and development expense. The Company estimates the proportionate performance of its development contracts based on an analysis of progress toward completion.

 

Revenue from licensed software is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and delivery has occurred, provided that the fee is fixed and determinable and collectibility is probable. Revenue from post-contract customer support and any other future deliverables is deferred and earned over the support period or as contract elements are delivered.

 

In arrangements that include a combination of hardware and software products that are also sold separately, where software is more than incidental and essential to the functionality of the product being sold, the Company follows the guidance in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 03-05, “Applicability of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Non-Software Deliverables in an Arrangement Containing More-Than-Incidental Software.”  In these situations, the Company accounts for the entire arrangement as a sale of software and software-related items and follows the revenue recognition criteria in Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” and related interpretations.  Arrangements meeting the criteria are not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-21 “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” apply to sales arrangements with multiple arrangements that include a combination of hardware, software and/or services. For multiple element arrangements, revenue is allocated to the separate elements based on fair value. If an arrangement includes undelivered elements that are not essential to the functionality of the delivered elements, the Company defers the fair value of the undelivered elements and the residual revenue is allocated to the delivered elements. If the undelivered elements are essential to the functionality of the delivered elements, no revenue is recognized. Undelivered elements typically are software warranty and maintenance services.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined under the first-in, first-out method. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration and other factors in evaluating net realizable value.

 

Warranty accrual

 

The Company’s products are generally subject to warranty, which provides for the estimated future costs of repair, replacement or customer accommodation upon shipment of the product in the accompanying statements of operations. The Company’s products typically carry a standard 90-day warranty with certain exceptions in which the warranty period can range from one to five years. The warranty accrual is estimated based on historical claims compared to historical revenues and assumes that the Company will have to replace products subject to a claim. For new products, the Company uses a historical percentage for the appropriate class of product.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company’s employee stock based compensation is accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and complies with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Expense associated with stock-based compensation is amortized on an accelerated basis over the vesting periods of the individual awards consistent with the method described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 28 (“FIN 28”). Application of FIN 28 to awards that vest progressively over five years results in amortization of approximately 46% of the compensation in the first 12 months of vesting, 26% of the compensation in the second 12 months of vesting, 15% of the compensation in the third 12 months of vesting, 9% of the compensation in the fourth 12 months of vesting and 4% of the compensation in the fifth 12 months of vesting. The Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus No. 96-18 (“EITF 96-18”), Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Offered to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services. Under SFAS 123 and EITF 96-18, stock option awards issued to non-employees are accounted for at their fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation method. The fair value of each non-employee stock award is remeasured at each period end until a commitment date is reached, which is generally the vesting date. The Company accounts for employee and director stock options in accordance with APB 25 and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123.

 

7

 

In accordance with the requirements of the disclosure-only alternative of SFAS 123, set forth below are pro forma statements of operations data of the Company giving effect to the valuation of stock-based awards to employees using the Black-Scholes option pricing model instead of the guidelines provided by APB 25.

2. Supplemental Financial Information

 

Available-for-sale investments

 

The amortized cost and fair value of available-for-sale investments are presented in the following tables (in thousands):

 

		July 31, 2005
		Amortized Cost			Gross Unrealized Gains			Gross Unrealized Losses			Estimated Fair Value

Short-term investments		$	495,512		$	4		$	(1,973	)	$	493,543

 

Auction rate securities are securities that are structured with short-term reset dates of generally less than 90 days but with legally stated maturities in excess of 90 days. At the end of the reset period, investors can sell or continue to hold the securities at par. These securities are classified in the table below based on their legal stated maturity dates.

The contractual maturities of available-for-sale debt securities classified as short-term investments at July 31, 2005 are presented in the following table (in thousands):

 

 

The Company reclassified certain auction rate securities from cash and cash equivalents to short-term investments as of July 31, 2004 and for all prior periods presented. The reclassifications have no effect on previously disclosed net income (loss), shareholders’ equity or operating cash flows.  The following table summarizes the cash and cash equivalent and short-term investment balances as previously reported and as reclassified as of the six months ended July 31, 2004 (in thousands):

 

		Cash and Cash Equivalents						Short-Term Investments
		As Reported			As Reclassified			As Reported			As Reclassified
Six months ended:
July 31, 2004		$	298,141		$	150,511		$	184,277		$	331,907

 

As a result of these changes, the Company reclassified the following line items in the Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended July 31, 2004 (in thousands):

 

		Cash Flow Activity
		As Reported			As Reclassified
Six months ended July 31, 2004:
Purchases of short-term investments		$	(80,571	)	$	(202,981	)
Sales and maturities of short-term investments		$	55,884		$	81,094
Net cash used in investing activities		$	(54,295	)	$	(151,495	)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents		$	73,742		$	(23,458	)

 

Included in the Company’s available-for-sale investments are fixed income securities. As market yields increase, those securities with a lower yield-at-cost show a mark-to-market unrealized loss. All unrealized losses are primarily due to changes in interest rates and bond yields. The Company does not believe any unrealized losses represent an other-than temporary impairment based on its evaluation of available evidence.  The following table shows the investments’ gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at July 31, 2005 (in thousands):

 

		Continuous Unrealized Losses
		Less than 12 months						12 months or more						Total
		Fair Value			Unrealized Losses			Fair Value			Unrealized Losses			Fair Value			Unrealized Losses
Corporate debt securities		$	13,178		$	(218	)	$	60,413		$	(834	)	$	73,591		$	(1,052	)

Identified intangible assets consist of purchased technology, trade name, and customer contracts and related relationships. Purchased technology and customer contracts and related relationships are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of five years. Trade name is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of two years. The aggregate amortization expense of identified intangible assets was $39.5 million in both the first six months of fiscal 2006 and 2005.  The estimated total annual amortization expenses of acquired intangible assets is $38.0 million for the remaining six months of fiscal 2006, $1.2 million for both fiscal 2007 and 2008 and $0.5 million for fiscal 2009.

 

In the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company entered into a technology license and non-assert agreement with a licensor pursuant to which the parties agreed to not take action against each other relative to the use of certain technologies. Under this arrangement, the Company agreed to make a one-time payment of $13.5 million, which was included in amortization and write-off of acquired intangible assets and other.  In the second quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company entered into a technology license and non-assert agreement with another company pursuant to which the parties agreed to not take action against each other relative to the use of certain technologies.  Under this arrangement, the Company agreed to make a one-time payment of $25.0 million, of which $10.0 million related to past use of certain technologies is included in amortization and write-off of acquired intangible assets and other, while the remainder of the amount has been capitalized as licensed technology in other noncurrent assets and will be amortized to cost of goods sold over its estimated useful life of five years.

Additionally, 1,023,256 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for future issuance over a one-year period to former RADLAN shareholders, which was dependent upon the Company’s revenues from certain products for the year ended January 31, 2005 compared to the year ended January 31, 2004. As of July 31, 2005, all 1,023,256 shares reserved for future issuance to former RADLAN shareholders were issued. Certificates for 614,624 shares earned through August 1, 2004 were issued on December 28, 2004. The remaining 408,632 shares earned subsequent to August 1, 2004 were issued on July 1, 2005.

 

4. Facilities Consolidation Charge

 

During fiscal 2003, the Company recorded a $19.6 million charge associated with costs of consolidation of its facilities. These charges included $12.6 million in lease abandonment charges relating to the consolidation of its three facilities in California into one location. The lease abandonment charge included the remaining lease commitments for these facilities reduced by the estimated sublease income throughout the duration of the lease term. The Company incurred charges of $1.0 million during the quarter ended April 30, 2002, as a result of duplicate lease and other costs associated with the dual occupation of its current and abandoned facilities. The facilities consolidation charge also included $6.0 million associated with the write-down of certain property and leasehold improvements related to the abandoned facilities, which reduced the carrying amount of the impaired assets. During the quarter ended July 31, 2003, the Company subleased the abandoned facilities. Actual sublease income approximated the estimated sublease income.

 

As of July 31, 2005, cash payments of $9.5 million, net of sublease income, had been made in connection with these charges relating to the consolidation of the Company’s facilities in California. Approximately $4.0 million is accrued for this facilities consolidation charge as of July 31, 2005, of which $0.6 million is the current portion included in accrued liabilities, while the long-term portion, totaling $3.4 million, is payable through 2010 and is included in other long-term liabilities.

The charges included $2.3 million associated with the write-down of certain property and leasehold improvements related to the abandoned facilities, which reduced the carrying amount of the impaired assets, and $0.1 million of remaining lease commitments for these facilities.

 

5. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS 123R”) that addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the enterprise or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The statement eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board, or APB, Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method and recognized as expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of income. The statement requires companies to assess the most appropriate model to calculate the value of the options. The Company currently uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value options and is currently assessing which model it may use in the future under the statement and may deem an alternative model to be the most appropriate. The use of a different model to value options may result in a different fair value than the use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model. In addition, there are a number of other requirements under the new standard that will result in differing accounting treatment than currently required. These differences include, but are not limited to, the accounting for the tax benefit on employee stock options and for stock issued under our employee stock purchase plan. In addition to the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments, we will also be required to determine the transition method to be used at date of adoption. The allowed transition methods include prospective and retroactive adoption options. Under the retroactive options, prior periods may be restated either as of the beginning of the year of adoption or for all periods presented. The prospective method requires that compensation expense be recorded for all unvested stock options and restricted stock at the beginning of the first quarter of adoption of FAS 123R, while the retroactive methods would record compensation expense for all unvested stock options and restricted stock beginning with the first period restated. The effective date of the new standard for the Company’s consolidated financial statements is its quarter ended April 30, 2006.

 

Upon adoption, this statement will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements because the Company will be required to expense the fair value of its stock option grants and stock purchases under its employee stock option and stock purchase plans rather than disclose the impact on its consolidated net income within the footnotes as is the Company’s current practice (see Note 1). The amounts disclosed within the Company’s footnotes are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that will be expensed upon the adoption of FAS 123R. Compensation expense calculated under FAS 123R may differ from amounts currently disclosed within the Company’s footnotes based on changes in the fair value of its common stock, changes in the number of options granted or the terms of such options, the treatment of tax benefits and changes in interest rates or other factors. In addition, upon adoption of FAS 123R the Company may choose to use a different valuation model to value the compensation expense associated with employee stock options.

 

 In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”).  SAB 107 includes interpretive guidance for the initial implementation of FAS 123R.  The Company will apply the principles of SAB 107 in conjunction with its adoption of FAS 123R.

 

In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154 (“SFAS 154”), Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and Statement No. 3.  The statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle.  SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is

 

13

 

impracticable.  SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.  The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 154 will have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

 

6. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Purchase Commitments

 

The Company’s manufacturing relationships with its foundries allow for the cancellation of all outstanding purchase orders, but requires repayment of all expenses incurred through the date of cancellation. As of July 30, 2005, foundries had incurred approximately $122.6 million of manufacturing expenses on the Company’s outstanding purchase orders. As of July 30, 2005, the Company also had approximately $42.8 million of other outstanding non-cancelable purchase orders for capital purchase obligations.

 

On February 28, 2005 and as amended on March 31, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with a foundry to reserve and secure foundry fabrication capacity for a fixed number of wafers at agreed upon prices for a period of five and half years beginning on July 1, 2005.  In return, the Company agreed to pay the foundry $174.2 million over a period of eighteen months.  The amendment extends the term of the agreement and the agreed upon pricing terms until December 31, 2015.  As of July 31, 2005, payments totaling $60.0 million (included in prepaid expenses and other current assets) have been made and approximately $1.8 million of the prepayment has been amortized as of the six months ending July 31, 2005.  At July 31, 2005, remaining commitments under the agreement were approximately $114.2 million.

 

Contingencies

 

On July 31, 2001, a putative class action suit was filed against two investment banks that participated in the underwriting of the Company’s initial public offering, or IPO, on June 29, 2000. That lawsuit, which did not name the Company or any of its officers or directors as defendants, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Plaintiffs allege that the underwriters received “excessive” and undisclosed commissions and entered into unlawful “tie-in” agreements with certain of their clients in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Thereafter, on September 5, 2001, a second putative class action was filed in the Southern District of New York relating to the Company’s IPO. In this second action, plaintiffs named three underwriters as defendants and also named as defendants the Company and two of its officers, one of whom is also a director. Relying on many of the same allegations contained in the initial complaint in which the Company was not named as a defendant, plaintiffs allege that the defendants violated various provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In both actions, plaintiffs seek, among other items, unspecified damages, pre-judgment interest and reimbursement of attorneys’ and experts’ fees. These two actions relating to the Company’s IPO have been consolidated with hundreds of other lawsuits filed by plaintiffs against approximately 55 underwriters and approximately 300 issuers across the United States. A consolidated amended class action complaint against the Company and its two officers was filed on April 19, 2002. Subsequently, defendants in the consolidated proceedings moved to dismiss the actions. In February 2003, the trial court issued its ruling on the motions, granting the motions in part, and denying them in part. Thus, the cases may proceed against the underwriters and the Company as to alleged violations of section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 and section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Claims against the individual officers have been voluntarily dismissed without prejudice by agreement with plaintiffs. On June 26, 2003, the plaintiffs announced that a settlement among plaintiffs, the issuer defendants and their directors and officers, and their insurers had been structured, a part of which the insurers for all issuer defendants would guarantee up to $1 billion to investors who are class members, depending upon plaintiffs’ success against non-settling parties. The Company’s board of directors has approved the proposed settlement, which will result in the plaintiffs’ dismissing the case against the Company and granting releases that extend to all of its officers and directors. Definitive settlement documentation was completed in early June 2004 and first presented to the court on June 14, 2004. On February 15, 2005, the court issued an opinion preliminarily approving the proposed settlement, contingent upon certain modifications being made to one aspect of the proposed settlement — the proposed “bar order”. The court ruled that it had no authority to deviate from the wording of the Plaintiff’s Securities Law Reform Act of 1995 and that any bar order that may issue should the proposed settlement be finally approved must be limited to the express wording of 15 U.S.C. section 78u-4(f)(7)(A).  On May 2, 2005 the issuer defendants and plaintiffs jointly submitted an amendment to the settlement agreement conforming the language of the settlement agreement with the court’s February 15, 2005 ruling regarding the bar order.  The court on August 31, 2005 issued an order preliminarily approving the settlement and setting a public hearing on its fairness for April 24, 2006 due to difficulties in mailing the required notice to class members. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that the ultimate disposition of this lawsuit will have a material adverse impact on its business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

On September 12, 2001, Jasmine Networks, Inc. (“Jasmine”) filed a lawsuit in the Santa Clara County Superior Court asserting claims against Company personnel and the Company for improperly obtaining and using information and technologies during the course of the negotiations with Company personnel regarding the potential acquisition of certain Jasmine assets by the Company. The lawsuit claims that Company officers improperly obtained and used such information and technologies after the Company signed a non-disclosure agreement with Jasmine. The Company believes the claims asserted against its officers and it are without merit and the Company intends to defend all claims vigorously.

 

On June 21, 2005, the Company filed a cross complaint in the above disclosed action in the Santa Clara County Superior Court asserting claims against Jasmine and unnamed Jasmine officers and employees.  Among other actions, the cross complaint alleges that Jasmine and its personnel engaged in fraud in connection with their effort to sell to Marvell technology that Jasmine and its personnel wrongfully obtained from a third party in violation of such third party’s rights.  The cross complaint seeks declaratory judgment that Marvell’s technology does not incorporate any of Jasmine’s alleged technology.  The cross complaint seeks further declaratory judgment that Jasmine and its personnel misappropriated certain aspects of Jasmine’s alleged technology.  The Company intends to prosecute the cross complaint against Jasmine and its personnel vigorously.  The Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. Any litigation could be costly, divert Company management’s attention and could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

 

On March 11, 2004, Trinity Technologies, Inc. (“Trinity”) filed a lawsuit against the Company’s subsidiary, Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. (“MSI”), in the Superior Court of California, alleging violations of the California Independent Wholesale Sales Representatives Contractual Relations Act of 1990, as well as breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and fraud in connection with the termination by MSI of certain agreements it had entered into with Trinity. The complaint seeks declaratory relief, $25.0 million in monetary damages, special and punitive damages and trebling of damages as well as costs and attorneys’ fees. By order entered January 25, 2005, the court granted the Company’s motion for summary adjudication and dismissed one claim for violation of a statute, in which plaintiff sought damages exceeding $12 million.  On May 2, 2005, Trinity filed an amended complaint.  On August 29, 2005, the case was settled and a dismissal of the entire action with prejudice is to be entered.  The terms of the settlement are confidential, but it will have no material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

 

On October 7, 2004, Realtek Semiconductor Corporation (“Realtek”) filed a lawsuit against Marvell Technology Group Ltd. (“MTGL”) and MSI in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (“the Court”), alleging that certain Marvell products infringe one of Realtek’s patents.  The parties stipulated to the dismissal of MTGL, leaving the lawsuit between Realtek and MSI.  Certain of the accused Marvell products were made and sold before Realtek’s patent was filed.  On July 15, 2005, MSI filed a motion requesting summary judgment that Realtek’s patent was invalid.  In response to that motion, on July 28, 2005 Realtek provided MSI with a Covenant Not To Sue for patent infringement of the Realtek patent in-suit as against any Marvell product now made or ever made.  In response to Realtek’s Covenant Not to Sue and a request by Realtek, on August 12, 2005, the Court entered an order dismissing the underlying patent infringement action, but allowing MSI to file a motion seeking fees, costs, and other sanctions.  On August 26, 2005 MSI filed a motion against Realtek seeking fees, costs, and other sanctions.  The hearing for this motion has not yet occurred.

 

On October 11, 2004 Realtek filed a lawsuit similar to the Northern District lawsuit in Taiwan.  On December 17, 2004, Marvell International Ltd. initiated a patent infringement action in the United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”), alleging that Realtek infringes two Marvell patents.  Effective August 17, 2005, the parties entered a Confidential Settlement Agreement.  On August 29, 2005, Realtek publicly announced that it will drop the case it initiated in Taiwan.  On August 31, 2005, Marvell filed a motion initiating the dismissal of the case it brought in the ITC.  On September 2, 2005 Realtek filed the necessary papers in the courts in Taiwan to dismiss its Taiwan lawsuit against Marvell.  The terms of the settlement are confidential, but it will have no material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

 

The Company is also party to other claims and litigation proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Although the legal responsibility and financial impact with respect to such claims and litigation cannot currently be ascertained, the Company does not believe that these 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 the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. There can be no assurance that these matters will be resolved without costly litigation, in a manner that is not adverse to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, or without requiring royalty payments in the future, which may adversely impact gross margins.

7. Related Party Transactions

 

During the six months ended July 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company incurred approximately $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of expenses from an unrelated third-party entity, ACM Aviation, Inc. (“ACM”), for charter aircraft services provided to MSI. The aircraft provided by ACM to the Company for such services is owned by Estopia Air LLC (“Estopia Air”). The Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Sehat Sutardja, Ph.D, and the Company’s Director, Secretary and Executive Vice President, Weili Dai, through their control and ownership of Estopia Air, own the aircraft provided by ACM. The expenses incurred were the result of the Company’s use of the aircraft for business travel purposes.  The cost of such usage to the Company was determined based on market prices.

 

On February 19, 2005, the Company, through its subsidiaries MSI and Marvell Asia Pte. Ltd., entered into a development agreement with MagnetoX (“MagnetoX”). The development agreement is on substantially similar terms as other development agreements with other third parties. The Company recognized approximately $0.8 million of revenue from the development agreement and product revenue during the first six months fiscal 2006. Total revenue expected to be recognized from the development agreement is $1.0 million.  Herbert Chang, one of the Company’s directors, is Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of MagnetoX. Estopia LLC (“Estopia”) is also a shareholder of MagnetoX. Dr. Sehat Sutardja, Ph.D. and Weili Dai, through their ownership and control of Estopia, are indirect shareholders of MagnetoX.

 

On August 19, 2005, the Company, through its subsidiaries MSI and Marvell International Ltd., entered into a License and Manufacturing Services Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with C2 Microsystems, Inc. (“C2Micro”).  The License Agreement is on substantially similar terms as other license and manufacturing services agreements with other third parties.  Dr. Sehat Sutardja, Ph.D., and Weili Dai, through their ownership and control of Estopia are indirect shareholders of C2Micro.  Herbert Chang, through his ownership and control of C-Squared venture entities, is also an indirect shareholder of C2Micro.  Dr. Pantas Sutardja, Ph.D., the Company’s Chief Technology Officer, is also a shareholder in C2Micro.

Overview

 

We are a leading global semiconductor provider of high-performance analog, mixed-signal, digital signal processing and embedded microprocessor integrated circuits. Our diverse product portfolio includes switching, transceiver, wireless, PC connectivity, gateways, communications controller and storage and power management solutions that serve diverse applications used in business enterprises, consumer electronics and emerging markets. We were founded in 1995. We are a fabless integrated circuit company, which means that we rely on independent, third-party contractors to perform manufacturing, assembly and test functions. This approach allows us to focus on designing, developing and marketing our products and significantly reduces the amount of capital we need to invest in manufacturing products. In January 2001, we acquired Galileo Technology Ltd. (now Marvell Semiconductor Israel Ltd, or MSIL) in a stock-for-stock transaction for aggregate consideration of approximately $2.5 billion. MSIL develops high-performance internetworking and switching products for the broadband communications market. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and the operating results of MSIL have been included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. In June 2003, we acquired RADLAN Computer Communications Ltd. (RADLAN), a leading provider of embedded networking software, for aggregate consideration to date of approximately $134.7 million.

 

We offer our customers a wide range of high-performance analog, mixed-signal, digital signal processing and embedded microprocessor integrated circuits. Our products can be utilized in a wide array of enterprise applications including hard disk drives, high-speed networking equipment, PCs, wireless solutions for SOHO and residential gateway solutions, and consumer applications such as cell phones, printers, digital cameras, MP3 devices, speakers, game consoles and PDAs.

 

 Our sales have historically been made on the basis of purchase orders rather than long-term agreements. In addition, the sales cycle for our products is long, which may cause us to experience a delay between the time we incur expenses and the time revenue is generated from these expenditures. We expect to increase our research and development, selling and marketing, and general and

 

17

 

administrative expenditures as we seek to expand our operations. We anticipate that the rate of new orders may vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Consequently, if anticipated sales and shipments in any quarter do not occur when expected, expenses and inventory levels could be disproportionately high, and our operating results for that quarter and future quarters may be adversely affected.

 

For the past four years, we have been able to report significant sequential quarterly growth in revenues; however, our revenues have grown at a slower sequential rate since the third quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to the double digit sequential growth rate of the previous eleven quarters.  This slower growth rate is due, among other things, to the larger base of revenue and market share we now enjoy, which makes continuation of double digit revenue growth on a sequential quarterly basis unlikely in the current market.

 

Our fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. In a 52-week year, each fiscal quarter consists of 13 weeks. The additional week in a 53-week year is added to the fourth quarter, making such quarter consist of 14 weeks. Fiscal year 2006 is comprised of 52 weeks. For presentation purposes, our financial statements and notes and this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” refer to January 31 as our year-end and April 30, July 31 and October 31 as our quarter-ends.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could affect the results of operations reported in future periods. For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to the “Critical Accounting Estimates” section of our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2005, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. There have been no material changes in any of our accounting policies since January 31, 2005.

Three and Six Months Ended July 31, 2005 and 2004

 

Net Revenue

 

		Three Months Ended July 31,						Percent		Six Months Ended July 31,						Percent
		2005			2004			Change		2005			2004			Change
Net revenue		$	390,454		$	297,154		31.4	%	$	755,224		$	566,731		33.3	%

 

Net revenue consists primarily of product revenue from sales of our semiconductor devices, and to a much lesser extent, development revenue derived from development contracts with our customers. Net revenue is gross revenue, net of accruals for estimated sales returns and allowances. The increases in net revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2005 reflects a significant increase in volume shipments of our storage System-on-Chips, or SOCs, which increased $73.0 million, wireless products, which increased $15.5 million, and system controllers, which increased $6.2 million.  The increases in net revenue in the first six months of fiscal 2006 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2005 reflects a significant increase in volume shipments of our storage SOCs, which increased $136.9 million, wireless products, which increased $33.0 million, and system controllers, which increased $12.6 million.  The increases in net revenue are primarily due to increased acceptance of our storage SOC products by hard disk drive manufacturers, increased market share gains in the PC desktop and consumer product markets with our storage SOC products and volume shipments of our wireless products and system controllers from new design wins.  Revenue derived from development contracts increased in absolute dollars during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2006 as compared to the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2005, but represented less than 10% of net revenue for each period.

 

We expect that revenue for fiscal 2006 will continue to increase on a quarterly basis from the level of revenue that we have previously reported in fiscal 2006 due to increases in shipments and volume production of our storage SOCs into the PC desktop and consumer product markets, increases in shipments of our wireless products from new consumer market design wins and increases in shipments of our system controllers and Gigabit Ethernet products.

 

A portion of our revenue is concentrated with a relatively small number of customers.  For the three and six months ended July 31, 2005, three customers each represented more than 10% of our net revenues. For the three months ended July 31, 2005, three customers combined for a total of 46% of our net revenue while for the six months ended July 31, 2005, three customers accounted for a total of 45% of our net revenue.  For both of the three and six months ended July 31, 2004, four customers each represented more than 10% of our net revenue for a combined total of 51% of our net revenue.  In addition, one distributor accounted for approximately 11% and 14% of our net revenue in the three and six months ended July 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

Because we sell our products to many OEM manufacturers who have manufacturing operations located in Asia, a significant percentage of our sales are made to customers located outside of the United States. Sales to customers located in Asia represented 94% and 92% for both of the three and six months ended July 31, 2005 and July 31, 2004, respectively.  The rest of our sales are to customers located in the United States and other geographic regions.  We expect that a significant portion of our revenue will continue to be represented by sales to our customers in Asia. Substantially all of our sales to date have been denominated in United States dollars.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

		Three Months Ended July 31,						Percent		Six Months Ended July 31,						Percent
		2005			2004			Change		2005			2004			Change
Cost of goods sold		$	183,646		$	140,905		30.3	%	$	358,890		$	268,741		33.5	%
% of net revenue		47.0		%	47.4		%			47.5		%	47.4		%
Gross margin		53.0		%	52.6		%			52.5		%	52.6		%

 

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of the costs of manufacturing, assembly and test of integrated circuit devices and related overhead costs, and compensation and associated costs relating to manufacturing support, logistics and quality assurance personnel. Gross margin is calculated as net revenue less cost of goods sold as a percentage of net revenue. The increase in gross margin percentage in the three months ended July 31, 2005 compared to the three ended July 31, 2004 was primarily due to a product mix change, which included production ramps of our storage SOCs and wireless products as well as product cost savings resulting from manufacturing efficiencies and better yields from our foundries.  Gross margin percentage remained consistent in the first six months of fiscal 2006 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2005.  The costs associated with contracted development work are included in research and development expense. Our gross margins are primarily driven by product mix; however, our margins may fluctuate in
