                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

     You should read the following summary together with the entire prospectus,
including the more detailed information in our consolidated financial statements
and related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. You should carefully
consider, among other things, the matters discussed in "Risk Factors."

     Transmeta develops and sells hardware and software technologies for Mobile
Internet Computers, which are portable computing and communication devices
designed to provide an Internet experience comparable to that traditionally
provided by a desktop personal computer, or PC. Our Crusoe family of
microprocessors is targeted at the notebook and Internet appliance segments of
the Mobile Internet Computer market, and we provide Crusoe microprocessors to
suit both existing and emerging products within these market segments. We
believe that our microprocessors are also well suited for other developing
markets requiring low power consumption, including set-top boxes and residential
gateways.

     As people are becoming increasingly mobile, they are dependent on use of
the Internet from remote locations to conduct their business and personal lives.
In addition, the emergence of high-speed wired and wireless Internet access is
enabling a new generation of notebook and Internet appliance products that offer
significant improvements in portability and provide users with a full-featured
Internet experience. International Data Corporation, or IDC, estimates that the
market for notebook computers will grow to 35 million units in 2003, while the
market for Internet appliances and similar devices that access the Internet is
expected to grow to more than 75 million units in the same time frame.

     Rather than using the traditional method of designing microprocessors
primarily with hardware, we have developed a unique approach that incorporates a
substantial portion of microprocessor functionality into our software. We
believe that our approach to designing microprocessors allows us to provide the
first microprocessor solution that simultaneously satisfies a wide range of user
requirements for Mobile Internet Computers, including x86 software
compatibility, long battery life and performance comparable to the desktop PC.

     The primary components of our Crusoe microprocessors are as follows:

     CODE MORPHING SOFTWARE. Our Code Morphing software provides a compatibility
bridge between x86 software and our own proprietary instruction set, using a
translation process that is indiscernible to the end user. In addition, Code
Morphing Software continuously learns about and re-optimizes software
applications a user is running to improve power usage and performance.

     VERY LONG INSTRUCTION WORD (VLIW) PROCESSOR HARDWARE. Our VLIW processor
hardware provides for parallel processing of instructions to achieve high
performance. Because we use Code Morphing software to perform much of the
functionality typically found in hardware, our microprocessors use a relatively
simple hardware design that is optimized for low power consumption in addition
to speed.

     We are focused on extending our leadership in software-based microprocessor
technologies and expanding the number of products and end markets that use
Crusoe microprocessors. We have assembled a team of engineers with comprehensive
systems expertise to help these manufacturers quickly resolve any system design
issues and achieve rapid time-to-market for next generation products built with
our Crusoe microprocessors. In addition, we have established, and intend to
continue to establish, relationships with computer manufacturers to design and
develop next generation Mobile Internet Computers.

     We have a history of substantial losses, and at June 30, 2000, we had an
accumulated deficit of approximately $119.4 million.
                            ------------------------

     We were incorporated in California in March 1995. We intend to
reincorporate in Delaware prior to this offering. Our principal executive
offices are located at 3940 Freedom Circle, Santa Clara, California 95054, and
our telephone number at that address is (408) 919-3000.

                                  RISK FACTORS

     Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should
carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as other information
contained in this prospectus, before deciding to invest in shares of our common
stock. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial
condition and results of operations would suffer. In this case, the trading
price of our common stock could decline and you might lose all or part of your
investment in our common stock.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY

     WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES, EXPECT TO INCUR FURTHER SIGNIFICANT LOSSES AND
     MAY NEVER ACHIEVE OR MAINTAIN PROFITABILITY.

     We have a history of substantial losses, expect to incur further
significant losses, and do not expect to achieve profitability in the near
future. We incurred net losses of $10.1 million in 1998, $41.1 million in 1999
and $43.4 million in the first half of 2000. As of June 30, 2000, we had an
accumulated deficit of approximately $119.4 million. We intend to significantly
increase our product development, sales and marketing, and administrative
expenses. We also expect to incur substantial non-cash charges relating to the
amortization of deferred compensation, which will serve to increase our net
losses further. We cannot assure you that our revenue will grow and we may never
achieve or maintain profitability. Even if we achieve profitability, we may not
be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or an annual basis.

     OUR BUSINESS IS DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE BECAUSE WE RECOGNIZED OUR FIRST
     PRODUCT REVENUE IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2000.

     We introduced our first Crusoe microprocessors in January 2000 and
recognized our first product revenue from these products in the first half of
2000. We have manufactured limited quantities of our products to date, but have
not shipped any products in volume. Thus, we have only a very limited operating
history with all of our products. This limited history makes it difficult to
evaluate our business. We derived substantially all of our revenue for 1997,
1998 and 1999 from license fees, but do not expect any license fee revenue in
the foreseeable future. As a result, we need to generate substantial future
revenue from product sales, but our ability to manufacture our products in
production quantities and the revenue and income potential of our products and
business are unproven. You should consider our chances of financial and
operational success in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses, delays and
difficulties associated with new businesses in highly competitive technology
fields, many of which may be beyond our control. If we fail to address these
risks, uncertainties, expenses, delays and difficulties, the value of your
investment would decline.

     WE DEPEND ON INCREASING DEMAND FOR OUR CRUSOE MICROPROCESSORS.

     We expect to derive virtually all of our revenue from the sale of our
Crusoe microprocessors for the foreseeable future. We have not shipped any of
these products in volume. Therefore, our future operating results will depend on
the demand for Crusoe by future customers. If Crusoe is not widely accepted by
the market due to performance, price, compatibility or for any other reason, or
if, following acceptance, we fail to enhance Crusoe in a timely manner, demand
for our products may fail to increase. If demand for our Crusoe products does
not increase, our revenue will not increase.

     IF WE FAIL TO PENETRATE THE NOTEBOOK COMPUTER MARKET, OUR OPERATING RESULTS
     WOULD BE IMPAIRED.

     Our success depends upon our ability to sell our Crusoe microprocessors in
volume to makers of notebook computers. Due to our software-based approach to
microprocessor design, we have been required, and expect to continue to be
required, to devote substantial resources to educate prospective customers in
the notebook computer market about the benefits of our Crusoe products and to
assist potential customers with their designs. In addition, most notebook
computer companies have made significant investments in designing their systems
for other microprocessor technology and might incur significant costs if they
were to switch to our products. Our target customers may not choose our products
for technical, cost or other reasons. If our Crusoe

                                        7
<PAGE>   11

products fail to achieve widespread acceptance in the notebook computer market,
our substantial marketing and development expenditures may not be offset by
increased revenue.

     IF THE INTERNET APPLIANCE MARKET FAILS TO GROW AS WE ANTICIPATE OR IF WE
     FAIL TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THIS MARKET, OUR GROWTH WOULD BE IMPAIRED.

     The growth of our business depends in part on the increased acceptance and
use of Internet appliances. We depend on the ability of our target customers to
develop new products and enhance existing products for the Internet appliance
market that incorporate our products and to introduce and promote these products
successfully. The market for Internet appliances depends in part upon the
deployment of wireless technologies that enable the delivery of Internet content
at a speed comparable to that of a desktop computer. The wireless technologies
currently under development might not fully address the needs of mobile Internet
users. If the use of Internet appliances does not grow as we anticipate, or our
targeted customers do not incorporate our products into theirs, our operating
results would be materially adversely affected. In addition, the market for
Internet appliances is new and evolving. Internet appliance manufacturers are
likely to have varying requirements. To meet the requirements of different
Internet appliance manufacturers, we may be required to change our product
design or features, sales methods or pricing policies. The costs of addressing
these requirements could be substantial and could harm our operating results.

     OUR OPERATING RESULTS ARE DIFFICULT TO PREDICT IN ADVANCE AND MAY FLUCTUATE
     SIGNIFICANTLY, AND A FAILURE TO MEET THE EXPECTATIONS OF SECURITIES
     ANALYSTS OR INVESTORS WOULD LIKELY RESULT IN A SUBSTANTIAL DECLINE IN OUR
     STOCK PRICE.

     There is little historical financial information that is useful in
evaluating our business, prospects and future operating results. You should not
rely on quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations as an
indication of our future performance. We expect our future operating results to
fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. If our operating results fail
to meet or exceed the expectations of securities analysts or investors, our
stock price would likely decline substantially. Factors that are likely to cause
our results to fluctuate include the following:

     - the gain or loss of significant customers or significant changes in
       purchasing volume;

     - the amount and timing of our operating expenses and capital expenditures;

     - changes in the volume of our product sales and pricing concessions on
       volume sales;

     - fluctuations in manufacturing yields;

     - cancellations, changes or delays of deliveries to us by our manufacturer;

     - the timing, rescheduling or cancellation of customer orders;

     - the varying length of our sales cycles;

     - the availability and pricing of competing products and technologies and
       the resulting effect on sales and pricing of our products;

     - our ability to specify, develop, complete, introduce and market new
       products and technologies and bring them to volume production in a timely
       manner;

     - fluctuations in the cost and availability of raw materials, such as
       wafers, chip packages and chip capacitors;

     - the cost and availability of manufacturing, assembly and test capacity;

     - fluctuations in the cost and availability of components, such as dynamic
       random access memory, or DRAM, that our customers require to build
       systems that incorporate our products;

     - the rate of adoption and acceptance of new industry standards in our
       target markets;

     - seasonality in some of our target markets;
                                        8
<PAGE>   12

     - the effectiveness of our product cost reduction efforts and those of our
       suppliers;

     - problems or delays due to shifting our products to smaller geometry
       process technologies and designing our products to achieve higher levels
       of design integration;

     - changes in the mix of products we sell;

     - changes in demand by the end users of our customers' products;

     - variability of our customers' product life cycles; and

     - changes in the average selling prices of our microprocessors or the
       products that incorporate them.

     Because a large portion of our expenses, including rent, salaries and
capital leases, is fixed and difficult to reduce, if our revenue does not meet
our expectations, the adverse effect of the revenue shortfall will be magnified
by the fixed nature of our expenses.

     COMPETITION IN THE SEMICONDUCTOR MARKET IS INTENSE; MANY OF OUR COMPETITORS
     AND POTENTIAL COMPETITORS ARE MUCH LARGER THAN WE ARE AND HAVE
     SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER RESOURCES; WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY.

     The market for microprocessors is intensely competitive, rapidly evolving
and subject to rapid technological change. We believe that competition will
become more intense in the future and may cause price reductions, reduced gross
margins and loss of market share, any one of which could significantly reduce
our future revenue or any income. Significant competitors that offer
microprocessors for the notebook computer market include Advanced Micro Devices
and Intel. Significant competitors that offer microprocessors for the Internet
appliance market include manufacturers of RISC microprocessors such as licensees
of ARM technology and licensees of MIPS technology. In addition, we face
competition from providers of x86 compatible microprocessors for the Internet
appliance market, including National Semiconductor.

     Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating
histories, significantly greater financial, technical, product development and
marketing resources, greater name recognition and significantly larger customer
bases than we do. Our competitors may be able to develop products comparable or
superior to those we offer, adapt more quickly than we do to new technologies,
evolving industry trends and customer requirements, and devote greater resources
to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we can. Many of
our competitors also have well-established relationships with our existing and
prospective customers and suppliers. In addition, many of our competitors,
either alone or with other companies, have significant influence in our target
markets. Negotiating and maintaining favorable customer and strategic
relationships are and will continue to be critical to our business. If our
competitors negotiate strategic relationships on more favorable terms than we
are able to negotiate, or if they structure relationships that impair our
ability to form strategic relationships, our competitive position and our
business would be substantially damaged.

     Furthermore, a number of these competitors may merge or form strategic
relationships that would enable them to offer, or bring to market earlier,
products that are superior to ours in terms of features, quality, pricing or
other factors. We expect additional competition from other established and
emerging companies. We may not be able to compete effectively against current
and potential competitors, especially those with significantly greater resources
and market leverage.

     OUR PRODUCTS MAY HAVE DEFECTS, WHICH COULD HARM OUR REPUTATION, DECREASE
     MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF OUR PRODUCTS, CAUSE US TO LOSE CUSTOMERS AND REVENUE,
     AND RESULT IN LIABILITY TO US.

     Highly complex products such as our microprocessors may contain either
hardware or software defects or bugs. Often, these defects and bugs are not
detected until after the products have been shipped. If any of our products
contains defects, or has reliability, quality or compatibility problems, our
reputation might be damaged significantly and customers might be reluctant to
buy our products, which could harm our ability to retain or attract customers.
In addition, these defects could interrupt or delay sales. We may have to invest
significant capital and other resources to correct these problems. If any of
these problems are not found until
                                        9
<PAGE>   13

after we have commenced commercial production of a new product, we might incur
substantial additional development costs. If we fail to provide solutions to the
problems, such as software upgrades or patches, we could also incur product
recall, repair or replacement costs. These problems might also result in claims
against us by our customers or others. In addition, these problems may divert
our technical and other resources from other development efforts. Moreover, we
would likely lose, or experience a delay in, market acceptance of the affected
product or products, and we could lose credibility with our current and
prospective customers. This is particularly significant as we are a new entrant
to a market dominated by large well-established companies.

     WE EXPECT TO DERIVE A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF OUR REVENUE FROM A SMALL
     NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS, AND OUR REVENUE WOULD DECLINE SIGNIFICANTLY IF ANY
     MAJOR CUSTOMER CANCELS, REDUCES OR DELAYS A PURCHASE OF OUR PRODUCTS.

     We expect that a small number of OEM customers and distributors will
account for a significant portion of our revenue. As a result, our future
success will depend upon the timing and size of future purchase orders, if any,
from these customers and, in particular:

     - the success of these customers in marketing products that incorporate our
       products;

     - the product requirements of these customers; and

     - the financial and operational success of these customers.

     We expect that our distributor agreements will be nonexclusive and will not
contain minimum purchase commitments. Should any distributor fail to emphasize
sales of our products, choose to emphasize alternative products or promote
products of our competitors, our revenue and results of operations would be
harmed. We expect that our sales to OEM customers will be made on the basis of
purchase orders rather than long-term commitments. In addition, customers can
delay, modify or cancel orders without penalty. Many of our customers are
significantly larger than we are and have sufficient bargaining power to demand
lower prices and better terms. The loss of any one of our future major
customers, or the delay of significant orders from these customers, could reduce
or delay our recognition of product revenue and harm our reputation in the
industry.

     IF WE FAIL TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN RELATIONSHIPS WITH KEY PARTICIPANTS IN
     OUR TARGET MARKETS, WE MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY SELLING OUR PRODUCTS.

     In addition to our customers, we will need to establish and maintain
relationships with companies that develop technologies that work in conjunction
with our microprocessors. These technologies include operating systems, BIOS
software, graphics chips, DRAMs and other hardware components and software that
are used in computers. If we fail to establish and maintain these relationships,
it would be more difficult for us to develop and market products with features
that address emerging market trends.

     IF OUR PRODUCTS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE OTHER COMPONENTS THAT OUR
     CUSTOMERS DESIGN INTO THEIR SYSTEMS, SALES OF OUR PRODUCTS COULD BE DELAYED
     OR CANCELLED AND A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF OUR PRODUCTS COULD BE RETURNED.

     Our products are designed to function as components of a system. We
anticipate that our customers will use our products in systems that have
differing specifications and that require various other components, such as
dynamic random access memory, or DRAM, and other semiconductor devices. If our
customers' systems are to function properly, all of the components must be
compatible with each other. If our customers experience system-level
incompatibilities between our products and the other components in their
systems, we could be required to modify our products to overcome the defects or
delay shipment of our products until the manufacturers of other components
modify their products or until our customers select other components. These
events would delay purchases of our products, cause orders for our products to
be cancelled or result in product returns. System level incompatibilities that
are significant, or are perceived to be significant, could also result in
negative publicity and could significantly damage our business.

                                       10
<PAGE>   14

     IF OUR CUSTOMERS ARE NOT ABLE TO OBTAIN THE OTHER COMPONENTS NECESSARY TO
     BUILD THEIR SYSTEMS, SALES OF OUR PRODUCTS COULD BE DELAYED OR CANCELLED.

     Suppliers of other components incorporated into our customers' systems may
experience shortages, which could affect the demand for our products. For
example, from time to time, the semiconductor industry has experienced shortages
of some materials and devices, including DRAM. Our customers could be forced to
defer or cancel purchases of our products if they are not able to obtain the
other components necessary to build their systems.

     THERE MAY BE SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS THAT ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH OUR
     PRODUCTS, WHICH MAY HARM OUR REPUTATION, PREVENT OUR PRODUCTS FROM
     ACHIEVING MARKET ACCEPTANCE AND IMPAIR OUR REVENUE GROWTH.

     Software applications with machine-specific routines programmed into them
can result in specific incompatibilities. If a particular software application
is programmed in a manner that makes it unable to respond correctly to our
microprocessor, it will appear to users of that software that our microprocessor
is not x86 compatible. We have encountered specific incompatibilities in the
past and expect to do so in the future, which could harm our reputation. In
addition, if customers perceive that our products are not sufficiently x86
compatible, our products may never achieve market acceptance and our revenue
growth would be impaired.

     IF WE FAIL TO MANAGE OUR GROWTH EFFECTIVELY, OUR BUSINESS MAY NOT SUCCEED.

     Our ability to implement our business plan in a rapidly evolving market
requires an effective planning and management process. We have recently
increased our number of employees substantially and plan to increase the scope
of our operations and the size of our direct sales force domestically and
internationally. This growth will require us to continue to expand our
facilities. In addition, this growth may place a significant strain on our
management systems, infrastructure and other resources. We expect that we will
need to continue to improve our financial and managerial controls and
procedures. We will also need to expand, train and manage our workforce
worldwide. Furthermore, we expect that we will be required to manage an
increasing number of relationships with customers and other third parties. Our
failure to manage our growth effectively would harm our business.

     OUR LENGTHY AND VARIABLE SALES CYCLES MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR US TO PREDICT
     WHEN AND IF A DESIGN WIN WILL RESULT IN VOLUME SHIPMENTS.

     We depend upon companies designing our microprocessors into their products,
which we refer to as design wins. Many of our targeted customers consider the
choice of a microprocessor to be a strategic decision. Our targeted customers
may take a long time to evaluate our products, and many individuals may be
involved in the evaluation process. We anticipate that the length of time
between our initial contact with a customer and the time when we recognize
revenue from that customer will vary. We expect our sales cycles to range from
six to twelve months from the time we achieve the design win to the time the
customer begins volume production of products that incorporate our
microprocessors. We do not have historical experience selling our products that
is sufficient for us to determine how our sales cycles will affect our revenue.
Variations in the length of our sales cycles could cause our revenue to
fluctuate widely from period to period. While potential customers are evaluating
our products and before they place an order with us, we may incur sales and
marketing expenses and expend significant management and engineering resources
without any assurance of success. The value of any design win depends upon the
commercial success of our targeted customers' products. Therefore, we take risks
related to project cancellations or changed product plans, which could result in
the loss of anticipated sales. We can offer no assurance that we will achieve
further design wins or that the products for which we achieve design wins will
be commercially successful.

<PAGE>   15

     IF WE DO NOT KEEP PACE WITH TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE, OUR PRODUCTS MAY NOT BE
     COMPETITIVE AND OUR REVENUE AND OPERATING RESULTS MAY SUFFER.

     The semiconductor industry is characterized by rapid technological change,
frequent new product introductions and enhancements and ongoing customer demands
for greater performance. In addition, the average selling price of any
particular microprocessor product has historically decreased over its life, and
we expect that trend to continue. As a result, our products may not be
competitive if we fail to introduce new products or product enhancements that
meet evolving customer demands. The development of new products is complex, and
we may not be able to complete development in a timely manner, or at all. To
introduce products on a timely basis, we must:

     - accurately define and design new products to meet market needs;

     - design features that continue to differentiate our products from those of
       our competitors;

     - transition our products to new manufacturing process technologies;

     - identify emerging technological trends in our target markets;

     - anticipate changes in end-user preferences with respect to our customers'
       products;

     - bring products to market on a timely basis at competitive prices; and

     - respond effectively to technological changes or product announcements by
       others.

     We believe that we will need to continue to enhance our products and
develop new products to keep pace with competitive and technological
developments and to achieve market acceptance for our products.

     OUR DEPENDENCE ON IBM TO FABRICATE WAFERS AND TO PROVIDE ASSEMBLY AND TEST
     SERVICES LIMITS OUR CONTROL OVER THE PRODUCTION, SUPPLY AND DELIVERY OF OUR
     PRODUCTS.

     The cost, quality and availability of third-party manufacturing operations
are essential to the successful production of our products. We currently rely
exclusively on IBM to fabricate our wafers. Our contract with IBM does not
obligate IBM to provide us with any specified number of wafers at any specified
price until IBM has accepted a purchase order. The absence of dedicated capacity
under our agreement means that, with little or no notice, IBM could refuse to
continue to fabricate all or some of the wafers that we require or change the
terms under which it fabricates wafers. If IBM were to stop manufacturing for
us, we would likely be unable to replace the lost capacity on a timely basis,
which would significantly harm our business. Transferring to another
manufacturer would require a significant amount of time, and a smooth and timely
transition would be unlikely. In addition, if IBM were to change the terms under
which it manufactures for us, our manufacturing costs could increase.

     Our reliance on a third-party manufacturer exposes us to the following
risks outside our control:

     - unpredictability of manufacturing yields and production costs;

     - interruptions in shipments;

     - potential lack of adequate capacity to fill all or part of the services
       we require;

     - inability to control quality of finished products;

     - inability to control product delivery schedules; and

     - potential lack of access to key fabrication process technologies.

     Because IBM provides substantially all of our required assembly and test
services, we do not directly control our product delivery schedules. This lack
of control could result in product shortages as IBM manufactures our current
products in volume and, in the future, as we introduce new products. Product
shortages could increase our fabrication, assembly or testing costs or delay
delivery of our products. We do not have a long-term contract with IBM for test
and assembly services, and we typically procure these services from IBM on a per
order basis. Therefore, we may not be able to obtain assembly and testing
services for our
                                       12
<PAGE>   16

products on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are required to find and qualify
alternative assembly or testing services, we could experience delays in product
shipments or a decline in product quality.

     WE MAY NOT ACHIEVE ACCEPTABLE MANUFACTURING YIELDS, WHICH COULD INCREASE
     THE COST AND REDUCE THE SUPPLY OF OUR PRODUCTS.

     The fabrication of wafers for our microprocessors is a highly complex and
precise process that requires production in a tightly controlled, clean room
environment. Minute impurities, difficulties in the fabrication process, defects
in the masks used to print circuits on a wafer or other factors can cause
numerous die on each wafer to be nonfunctional. The proportion of functional die
expressed as a percentage of total die on a wafer is referred to as product
"yield." Even with functional die, normal variations in wafer fabrication can
cause some die to run faster than others. Semiconductor companies frequently
encounter difficulties in achieving expected product yields. If we do not
achieve expected yields, our product costs would increase. Variations in speed
yield could lead to excess inventory of slower products and insufficient
inventory of faster products, depending upon customer demand. Further, as our
products mature, we may experience yield problems as we migrate our
manufacturing processes to smaller geometries. Yield problems may not be
identified and resolved until a product has been manufactured and can be
analyzed and tested, if ever. As a result, yield problems are often difficult,
time consuming and expensive to correct. Yield problems could hamper our ability
to deliver our products to our customers in a timely manner.

     IF WE FAIL TO FORECAST DEMAND FOR OUR PRODUCTS ACCURATELY, WE COULD LOSE
     SALES AND INCUR INVENTORY LOSSES.

     Because we only introduced our products in January 2000, we have little
historical information about demand for our products. We expect that the demand
for our products will depend upon many factors and be difficult to forecast. We
expect that it will become more difficult to forecast demand as we introduce a
larger number of products and as competition in the markets for our products
intensifies. Significant unanticipated fluctuations in demand could cause
problems in our operations.

     The lead time required to fabricate wafers in volume production is often
longer than the lead time our customers provide to us for delivery of their
product requirements. Therefore, we often must place our orders in advance of
expected purchase orders from our customers. As a result, we have only a limited
ability to react to fluctuations in demand for our products, which could cause
us to have either too much or too little inventory of a particular product. If
demand does not develop as we expect, we could have excess production, which
would result in excess inventories of finished products, which would use cash
and could result in inventory write-offs. We have limited capability to reduce
ongoing production once wafer fabrication has commenced. Excess materials would
likely result in excess or obsolete inventory. If demand exceeds our
expectations, IBM may not be able to fabricate enough wafers as fast as we need
them. In that event, we will need to increase production rapidly at IBM or find,
qualify and begin production at additional manufacturers, which may not be
possible within a timeframe acceptable to our customers. The inability of IBM to
increase production rapidly enough could cause us to fail to meet customer
demand. In addition, rapid increases in production levels to meet unanticipated
demand could result in higher costs for manufacturing and other expenses. These
higher costs could lower our gross margins.

     OUR PRODUCTS MAY INFRINGE THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF OTHERS, WHICH
     MAY CAUSE US TO BECOME SUBJECT TO EXPENSIVE LITIGATION, CAUSE US TO INCUR
     SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGES, REQUIRE US TO PAY SIGNIFICANT LICENSE FEES OR PREVENT
     US FROM SELLING OUR PRODUCTS.

     Our industry is characterized by the existence of a large number of patents
and frequent claims and related litigation regarding patent and other
intellectual property rights. We cannot be certain that our products do not and
will not infringe issued patents or other intellectual property rights of
others. Historically, patent applications in the United States have not been
publicly disclosed until the patent is issued, and we may not be aware of filed
patent applications that relate to our products or technology. If patents later
issue on these applications, we may be liable for infringement. In addition,
leading companies in the semiconductor industry have extensive portfolios with
respect to semiconductor technology. From time to time, third parties,
                                       13
<PAGE>   17

including these leading companies, may assert exclusive patent, copyright,
trademark and other intellectual property rights to technologies and related
methods that are important to us. We expect that we may become subject to
infringement claims as the number of products and competitors in our target
markets grows and the functionality of products overlaps. Litigation may be
necessary in the future to enforce our 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. We may also
be subject to claims from customers for indemnification. Any resulting
litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.

     If it were determined that our products infringe the intellectual property
rights of others, we would need to obtain licenses from these parties or
substantially reengineer our products in order to avoid infringement. We might
not be able to obtain the necessary licenses on acceptable terms or at all, or
to reengineer our products successfully. Moreover, if we are sued for
infringement and lose the suit, we could be required to pay substantial damages
or enjoined from licensing or using the infringing products or technology. Any
of the foregoing could cause us to incur significant costs and prevent us from
selling our products.

     OUR FAILURE TO PROTECT OUR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS, OR THE COSTS OF PROTECTING
     THESE RIGHTS, MAY HARM OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE.

     We believe that our success will depend in part upon our proprietary
technology. We rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade
secret laws and contractual obligations with employees and third parties to
protect our proprietary rights. These legal protections provide only limited
protection and may be time consuming and expensive to obtain and enforce. Our
failure to adequately protect our proprietary rights could result in competitors
offering similar products and impair our ability to compete. Moreover, despite
our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may copy
aspects of our products and obtain and use information that we regard as
proprietary. Also, our competitors may independently develop similar, but not
infringing, technology, duplicate our products, or design around our patents or
our other intellectual property. In addition, other parties may breach
confidentiality agreements or other protective contracts with us, and we may not
be able to enforce our rights in the event of these breaches. Furthermore, we
expect that we will increase our international operations in the future, and the
laws of many foreign countries do not protect our intellectual property rights
to the same extent as the laws of the United States.

     Our pending patent and trademark applications may not be approved. Even if
our pending patent applications are approved, the resulting patents may not
provide us with any competitive advantage or may be challenged by third parties.
If challenged, our patents might not be upheld or their claims could be
narrowed. Any litigation surrounding our rights could force us to divert
important financial and other resources away from our business operations.

     THE LOSS OF KEY MANAGEMENT AND TECHNICAL PERSONNEL, ON WHOSE KNOWLEDGE,
     LEADERSHIP AND TECHNICAL EXPERTISE WE RELY, WOULD HARM OUR ABILITY TO
     EXECUTE OUR BUSINESS PLAN.

     Our success depends heavily upon the continued contributions of our key
management and technical personnel, whose knowledge, leadership and technical
expertise would be difficult to replace. Several of these personnel have been
with us for a number of years. All of our executive officers and key personnel
are employees at-will. We have no employment contracts and maintain no key
person insurance on any of our personnel. If we were to lose the services of any
of our key personnel, our ability to execute our business plan would be harmed.

     IF WE ARE UNABLE TO HIRE, TRAIN AND RETAIN ADDITIONAL SALES, MARKETING,
     OPERATIONS, ENGINEERING AND FINANCE PERSONNEL, OUR GROWTH WILL BE IMPAIRED.

     To grow our business successfully and maintain a high level of quality, we
will need to recruit, retain and motivate additional highly-skilled sales,
marketing, engineering and finance personnel. If we are not able to hire, train
and retain a sufficient number of qualified employees, our growth will be
impaired. In particular, we will need to expand our sales and marketing
organizations in order to increase market awareness of our

                                       14
<PAGE>   18

products and to increase revenue. In addition, as a company focused on the
development of complex products, we will need to hire additional engineering
staff of various experience levels in order to meet our product roadmap.
Competition for skilled employees, particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area,
is intense. We may have even greater difficulty recruiting potential employees
after this offering if prospective employees perceive the equity component of
our compensation package to be less valuable after this offering than before
this offering.

     SEVERAL OF OUR EXECUTIVES AND OTHER EMPLOYEES HAVE JOINED US ONLY RECENTLY,
     AND IF THEY ARE UNABLE TO WORK TOGETHER EFFECTIVELY, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO
     MANAGE OUR GROWTH AND OPERATIONS.

     Several of our executives and other employees joined us only recently and
have had only a limited time to work together. Mark K. Allen, our President and
Chief Operating Officer, joined us in January 2000; David P. Jensen, our Vice
President of Operations, joined us in February 2000; Merle A. McClendon, our
Chief Financial Officer, joined us in March 2000; John O. Horsley, our General
Counsel, joined us in July 2000; and Barry L. Rubinson, our Vice President of
Software, joined us in August 2000. If our management team is not able to work
effectively together or with the rest of our employees to develop our technology
and manage our growth and continuing operations, our business would be harmed.

     WE MAY MAKE ACQUISITIONS, WHICH COULD PUT A STRAIN ON OUR RESOURCES, CAUSE
     DILUTION TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS AND ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS.

     We may acquire companies to expand our business. Integrating newly acquired
organizations and technologies into our company could put a strain our resources
and be expensive and time consuming. We may not be successful in integrating
acquired businesses or technologies and may not achieve anticipated revenue and
cost benefits. In addition, future acquisitions could result in potentially
dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, contingent
liabilities or amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible
assets, any of which could adversely affect our balance sheet or operating
results. Moreover, we may not be able to identify future suitable acquisition
candidates or, if we are able to identify suitable candidates, we may not be
able to make these acquisitions on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

     THE CYCLICAL NATURE OF THE SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY COULD CREATE FLUCTUATIONS
     IN OUR OPERATING RESULTS.

     The semiconductor industry has historically been cyclical, and
characterized by wide fluctuations in product supply and demand. From time to
time, the industry has also experienced significant downturns, often in
connection with, or in anticipation of, maturing product cycles and declines in
general economic conditions. Industry downturns have been characterized by
diminished product demand, production overcapacity and accelerated decline of
average selling prices, and in some cases have lasted for more than a year. A
downturn of this type occurred in 1997 and 1998. Our business could be harmed by
industry-wide fluctuations in the future.

     WE PLAN TO EXPAND OUR INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS, AND THE SUCCESS OF OUR
     INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION IS SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTIES.

     We believe that we must expand our international sales and distribution
operations to be successful. We expect to sell a significant portion of our
products to customers overseas. In attempting to conduct and expand business
internationally, we are exposed to various risks that could adversely affect our
international operations and, consequently, our operating results, including:

     - difficulties and costs of staffing and managing international operations;

     - fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

     - unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, including imposition of
       currency exchange controls;

     - longer accounts receivable collection cycles;

     - import or export licensing requirements;

                                       15
<PAGE>   19

     - potentially adverse tax consequences;

     - political and economic instability; and

     - potentially reduced protection for intellectual property rights.

     In addition, because we have suppliers that are located outside of the
United States, we are subject to risks generally associated with contracting
with foreign suppliers and may experience problems in the timeliness and the
adequacy or quality of product deliveries.

RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING

     THERE HAS BEEN NO PRIOR PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR STOCK; THE STOCKS OF
     TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES HAVE EXPERIENCED EXTREME PRICE AND VOLUME
     FLUCTUATIONS; AND OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY
     AFFECT YOUR INVESTMENT.

     Before this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock.
An active public market for our common stock may not develop or be sustained
after this offering. The price of the common stock in any such market may be
higher or lower than the price you pay. If you purchase shares of common stock
in this offering, you will pay a price that was not established in a competitive
market. Rather, you will pay the price that we negotiated with the
representatives of the underwriters. Many factors could cause the market price
of our common stock to rise and fall, including:

     - variations in our quarterly results;

     - announcements of technological innovations by us or by our competitors;

     - introductions of new products or new pricing policies by us or by our
       competitors;

     - acquisitions or strategic alliances by us or by our competitors;

     - recruitment or departure of key personnel;

     - the gain or loss of significant orders;

     - the gain or loss of significant customers;

     - changes in the estimates of our operating performance or changes in
       recommendations by any securities analysts that elect to follow our
       stock; and

     - market conditions in our industry, the industries of our customers and
       the economy as a whole.

     In addition, stocks of technology companies have experienced extreme price
and volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated or disproportionate to
these companies' operating performance. Public announcements by companies in our
industry concerning, among other things, their performance, accounting practices
or legal problems could cause fluctuations in the market for stocks of these and
similar companies. These fluctuations could lower the market price of our common
stock regardless of our actual operating performance.

     In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought
against a company following a period of volatility in the market price of its
securities. We may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities
litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management's attention
and resources, which could harm our operating results and our business.

     OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND AFFILIATED ENTITIES OWN A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF
     OUR COMPANY AND COULD SIGNIFICANTLY INFLUENCE THE OUTCOME OF ACTIONS IN
     WAYS THAT COULD ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR STOCK PRICE.

     We anticipate that our executive officers, directors, entities affiliated
with them and other 5% or greater stockholders will, in total, beneficially own
approximately      % of our outstanding common stock after this offering. These
stockholders, acting together, would be able to significantly influence all
matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of
directors. Thus, actions might be taken even if other stockholders, including
those who purchase shares in this offering, oppose them. This concentration of

                                       16
<PAGE>   20

ownership might also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of
control of our company, which could harm our stock price.

     MANAGEMENT WILL HAVE DISCRETION OVER THE USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THIS OFFERING
     AND COULD SPEND OR INVEST THOSE PROCEEDS IN WAYS WITH WHICH YOU MIGHT NOT
     AGREE.

     We do not have a definitive quantified plan with respect to the use of the
net proceeds of this offering. Our management will have broad discretion with
respect to the use of the net proceeds from this offering, and you will be
relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of these
proceeds. Some of the uses we currently anticipate include working capital and
other general corporate purposes, including sales and marketing expenses,
research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses and
capital expenditures. In addition, we may use a portion of the net proceeds to
acquire or invest in complementary businesses, technologies, product lines or
products. These investments may not yield a favorable return.

     SUBSTANTIAL FUTURE SALES OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE
     MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

     The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of
a large number of shares of our common stock in the market after this offering
or the perception that these sales could occur. Based on shares outstanding as
of June 30, 2000, upon completion of this offering, we will have outstanding
               shares of common stock, or                shares if the
underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full. Of these shares, the
common stock sold in this offering will be freely tradeable except for any
shares purchased by our "affiliates" as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities
Act of 1933. All of the 56,526,243 remaining shares of common stock held by our
existing shareholders will be subject to 180-day lock-up agreements with the
underwriters or with us. Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, in its sole
discretion, may release any portion of the securities subject to these lock-up
agreements. After the 180-day lock-up period, these shares may be sold in the
public market, subject to prior registration or qualification for an exemption
from registration, including, in the case of shares held by affiliates, to
compliance with volume restrictions. After the lock-up period,                of
these shares will be immediately available for sale in the public market without
registration under Rule 144. The remaining shares held by our existing
stockholders will become available for sale under Rule 144 at varying times
following the end of the 180-day lock-up period. Stockholders owning
               shares are entitled, pursuant to contracts providing for
registration rights, to require us to register our securities owned by them for
public sale. In addition, based on options outstanding as of June 30, 2000,
after this offering, 7,277,040 shares will be issuable under outstanding options
and warrants, approximately                of which will be exercisable 180 days
after this offering. We intend to file a registration statement to register for
resale shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and shares
reserved for future issuance under our stock option and stock purchase plans.

     YOU WILL EXPERIENCE IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION IN THE NET TANGIBLE
     BOOK VALUE OF THE SHARES YOU PURCHASE IN THIS OFFERING.

     If you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you will
experience immediate and substantial dilution of $     per share, based on an
assumed initial public offering price of $     per share. This dilution arises
because our earlier investors paid substantially less than the public offering
price when they purchased their shares of common stock. You will experience
additional dilution upon the exercise of outstanding stock options or warrants
to purchase our common stock. As of June 30, 2000, there were options and
warrants outstanding to purchase 7,277,040 shares of common stock with a
weighted average exercise price of $4.64 per share.

     OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION, BYLAWS AND DELAWARE LAW CONTAIN
     PROVISIONS THAT COULD DISCOURAGE OR PREVENT A TAKEOVER, EVEN IF AN
     ACQUISITION WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS.

     Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as
provisions of Delaware law, could make it more difficult for a third party to
acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. These
provisions include:

     - establishing a classified board of directors so that not all members of
       the board may be elected at one time;

     - providing that directors may only be removed "for cause" and only with
       the approval of 66 2/3% of our stockholders;

     - requiring super-majority voting to amend some provisions in our
       certificate of incorporation and bylaws;

     - authorizing the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock that our board
       could issue to increase the number of outstanding shares and to
       discourage a takeover attempt;

     - limiting the ability of our stockholders to call special meetings of
       stockholders;

     - prohibiting stockholder action by written consent, which requires all
       stockholder actions to be taken at a meeting of our stockholders;

     - eliminating cumulative voting in the election of directors; and

     - establishing advance notice requirements for nominations for election to
       the board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by
       stockholders at stockholder meetings.

     In addition, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the
terms of our stock option plans may discourage, delay or prevent a change in
control.

     IF WE NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RAISE FURTHER
     FINANCING OR IT MAY ONLY BE AVAILABLE ON TERMS UNFAVORABLE TO US OR OUR
     STOCKHOLDERS.

     We believe that our available cash resources, combined with the net
proceeds from this offering, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working
capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least twelve months after
the date of this prospectus. We might need to raise additional funds, however,
to respond to business contingencies, which could include the need to:

     - fund more rapid expansion;

     - fund additional marketing expenditures;

     - develop new products or enhance existing products;

     - enhance our operating infrastructure;

     - hire additional personnel;

     - respond to competitive pressures; or

     - acquire complementary businesses or technologies.

     If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible
debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders would be reduced,
and these newly issued securities might have rights, preferences or privileges
senior to those of existing stockholders, including those acquiring shares in
this offering. Additional financing might not be available on terms favorable to
us, or at all. If adequate funds were not available or were not available on
acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of
unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance our products or otherwise
respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited.

                                       18

               SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     We have made statements under the captions "Prospectus Summary," "Risk
Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" and "Business" and in other sections of this prospectus
that are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these
statements by forward-looking words such as "may," "might," "will," "should,"
"expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential" or
"continue," the negative or plural of these words and other comparable
terminology. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks,
uncertainties and assumptions about us, may include, among other things,
projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth
strategies and anticipated trends in our business and the markets in which we
operate. These statements are only predictions, based on our current
expectations and projections about future events. Because these forward-looking
statements involve risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that
could cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements
to differ materially from the results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including
those factors discussed under the caption entitled "Risk Factors." You should
specifically consider the numerous risks outlined under "Risks Factors."

     Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of
activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person
assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these
forward-looking statements.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

     We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately
$     million, at an assumed initial public offering price of $     per share,
after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated
offering expenses payable by us. If the underwriters exercise their
over-allotment option in full, we estimate that our net proceeds will be
approximately $     million.

     While we do not have any specific plans or proposals for the allocation of
the net proceeds of this offering, we currently expect to use the net proceeds
from this offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes,
including sales and marketing expenses, research and development expenses,
general and administrative expenses and capital expenditures.

     The amount and timing of what we actually spend for these purposes may vary
significantly and will depend on a number of factors, including our future
revenue and cash generated by operations and the other factors described in
"Risk Factors." Therefore, we will have broad discretion in the way we use the
net proceeds. Additionally, if appropriate opportunities arise, a portion of the
net proceeds of the offering may be used for acquiring, or investing in,
businesses, products or technologies or establishing joint ventures. We have no
current agreements or commitments with respect to any acquisition or investment,
and we currently are not engaged in negotiations with respect to any acquisition
or investment. Pending these uses, we intend to invest the net proceeds in
short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities.

                                DIVIDEND POLICY

     We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We
currently expect to retain all available funds and any future earnings to
finance the growth and development of our business. Therefore, we do not
anticipate declaring or paying cash dividends on our common stock in the
foreseeable future.

                                 CAPITALIZATION

     The following table sets forth our capitalization as of June 30, 2000. Our
capitalization is presented (1) on an actual basis, (2) on a pro forma basis to
reflect the conversion of our outstanding shares of preferred stock into
36,587,171 shares of common stock and the conversion of a convertible promissory
note into 600,000 shares of common stock upon the closing of this offering, and
(3) on a pro forma as adjusted basis to reflect the sale of
shares of common stock offered by us at an assumed initial public offering price
of $     per share, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and
commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

                                    DILUTION

     Our pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2000 was approximately
$87.6 million, or $1.55 per share of common stock. Our pro forma net tangible
book value per share represents our total tangible assets less total liabilities
divided by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding on June 30, 2000
and assumes the conversion of our outstanding shares of preferred stock into
36,587,171 shares of common stock and the conversion of a convertible promissory
note into 600,000 shares of common stock upon the closing of this offering.

     Without taking into account any changes in pro forma net tangible book
value after June 30, 2000, other than to give effect to the sale of
               shares of common stock offered by us at an assumed initial public
offering price of $     per share, after deducting estimated underwriting
discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro
forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2000 would have been approximately
$     million, or $     per share of common stock. This amount represents an
immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $     per share to
our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in pro forma net tangible
book value of $     per share to new investors purchasing shares in this
offering. The following table illustrates the dilution in pro forma net tangible
book value per share to new investors.

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

     You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and
results of operations with the consolidated financial statements and the notes
to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.
This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve
risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from
those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many
factors, including those discussed under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this
prospectus.

OVERVIEW

     We develop and sell software-based microprocessors and develop additional
hardware and software technologies that enable computer manufacturers to build
computers that simultaneously offer long battery life, high performance and x86
compatibility. We rely on independent, third-party contractors to perform
manufacturing, assembly and test functions. Our fabless 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.

     From our inception in March 1995 through June 30, 2000, we were in the
development stage and engaged primarily in research and development. In 1999, we
began focusing on achieving design wins with original equipment manufacturers,
or OEMs, in addition to our ongoing development activities. In January 2000, we
introduced our Crusoe family of microprocessors, and we began recognizing
product revenue from sales of these microprocessors in the first half of 2000.
We expect to be dependent on sales of these products and successive generations
of these products for the foreseeable future. Since we introduced our products,
we have been engaged in marketing and selling efforts, pre-production activities
and continued research and development. Product shipments to date have consisted
of prototypes and development systems.

     License fees from IBM and Toshiba constituted substantially all of our
revenue in 1997, 1998 and 1999. In connection with our research and development
efforts, we negotiated a technology license agreement with IBM Corporation in
December 1997 and a technology license agreement with Toshiba Corporation in
February 1998. Under these agreements, we received license fees, access to
technology, engineering and test services, mask sets and wafer and other
production services and granted IBM and Toshiba rights to manufacture and market
x86 compatible products incorporating the licensed technology. The IBM and
Toshiba license agreements were amended such that we reacquired rights we
previously granted to IBM and Toshiba to manufacture and market x86 compatible
products. In connection with these amendments, we agreed to pay IBM a total of
$33.0 million over the next four years and fixed the conversion rate of a
convertible promissory note issued to IBM at 600,000 shares of our common stock.
We also issued 600,000 shares of our common stock to Toshiba. IBM and Toshiba
retain a license to manufacture, market and sell non-x86 compatible products
incorporating the licensed technology. We are not entitled to any future license
fees under these license agreements, and we do not expect to receive license
revenue from any other party.

     We expect to sell our products primarily to OEMs and, to a lesser extent,
through distributors. We anticipate that a relatively small number of OEMs will
account for a substantial percentage of our revenue. In August 2000, we entered
into our first distribution agreement to support our sales and marketing
activities in the Far East market, and we plan to enter into other distribution
agreements during 2000. Although we expect to derive a significant portion of
our product revenue from customers in Asia, these customers ultimately sell
their products to major PC manufacturers in the United States and Japan. All of
our product revenue to date has been denominated in U.S. dollars, and we expect
that most of our sales in the future will be denominated in U.S. dollars.

     We recognize revenue from product sales upon transfer of title, providing
for expected returns and warranty costs at that time. With respect to products
shipped to distributors, we will defer recognition of product revenue until the
distributors sell our products to their customers.

                                       24
<PAGE>   28

     Cost of revenue consists primarily of the costs of manufacturing, assembly
and test of our silicon chips, and compensation and associated costs related to
manufacturing support, logistics and quality assurance personnel. Research and
development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related overhead costs
associated with employees engaged in research, design and development
activities, as well as the cost of masks, wafers and other materials and related
test services and equipment used in the development process. Selling, general
and administrative expenses consist of salaries and related overhead costs for
sales, marketing and administrative personnel and legal and accounting services.
They will also include commissions paid to internal and external sales
representatives, once we begin volume shipments. We have incurred no sales
commission costs to date.

     In connection with the grant of stock options to our employees in 2000, we
recorded deferred stock compensation of approximately $16.6 million through June
30, 2000, representing the difference between the estimated fair value of the
common stock for accounting purposes and the exercise price of these options at
the date of grant. Deferred stock compensation is presented as a reduction of
stockholders' equity and is amortized on the graded vesting method. In addition,
we recorded $1.3 million of deferred compensation charges in the first quarter
of 2000 related to a severance agreement with a former employee. We will incur
substantial stock compensation expense in future periods.

     Historically, we have incurred significant losses. As of June 30, 2000, we
had an accumulated deficit of $119.4 million. We expect to incur substantial
losses for the foreseeable future. We also expect to incur significant research
and development and selling, general and administrative expenses. As a result,
if our revenue does not increase substantially, our operating results will be
adversely affected, and we will not achieve profitability.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 2000

     Revenue. Revenue in the six months ended June 30, 1999 included both
license revenue from the Toshiba license agreement and product revenue. No
future license revenue will be recognized in connection with this agreement.
Revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2000 was comprised of product revenue
derived from sales of our microprocessors, which were introduced in January
2000. Total revenue decreased from $5.1 million for the six months ended June
30, 1999 to $358,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 due to completion of
the payments under the Toshiba license agreement. Product revenue increased from
$74,000 in the first six months of 1999 to $358,000 in the first six months of
2000, reflecting increased shipments of prototypes and development systems.
Revenue to date does not include any volume product shipments.

     Gross Profit. Product gross profit, which equals product revenue less cost
of product revenue, increased from $58,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1999
to $135,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2000. These product gross profit
amounts reflect sales of small volume prototypes and development systems, and do
not indicate the product gross profit amounts that can be expected from volume
production of microprocessors. We expect our gross margin, which is product
gross profit as a percentage of product revenue, to change in future quarters as
we commence volume shipments. In addition, we expect our gross margin to vary
from period to period due to the mix of products sold, the stage in the life
cycle of each of our products and expenses in connection with the manufacturing
process. For example, newly-introduced products generally have higher average
selling prices, which typically decline over product life cycles due to
competitive pressures and technological advances.

     Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased from
$16.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $26.5 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2000. This increase was primarily due to increased
prototype wafer costs, costs of other foundry services, mask set costs and costs
of development systems used internally. In addition, we incurred higher costs
for additional development personnel, and related facility and other allocable
expenses. We expect that research and development expenses will increase in
absolute dollars in future quarters as we develop new products, engage in other
product development initiatives and increase our number of research and
development personnel.

                                       25
<PAGE>   29

     Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased from $5.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999 to
$11.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2000. This increase was primarily
due to the hiring of additional personnel and a resulting increase in salaries
and related costs, increased costs related to expanding our marketing and
branding activities and increased facility and other allocable expenses. We
expect that selling, general and administrative expenses will increase in
absolute dollars in future quarters as we hire additional personnel, expand our
sales and marketing efforts, begin to pay sales commissions and incur the costs
associated with being a public company.

     Amortization of Deferred Charge Under License Agreements. In connection
with the renegotiation of our technology license agreement with IBM in November
1999, we agreed to pay a total of $33.0 million over the next four years in
order to reacquire license rights previously granted to IBM. The present value
of these payments was $18.9 million, was recorded as a liability in 1999 and is
being amortized on a straight line basis over the license buyback period. Future
amortization including accretion of the liability to IBM will be $3.6 million in
the second half of 2000, $8.0 million in 2001, $7.9 million in 2002, $7.6
million in 2003, and $2.0 million in 2004.

     In connection with the renegotiation of our technology license agreement
with Toshiba in February 2000, we issued 600,000 shares of common stock to
Toshiba. The deemed fair value of shares issued of $6.8 million is also being
amortized on a straight line basis over the license buyback period. Future
amortization in connection with this stock issuance will be $1.1 million in the
second half of 2000, $2.3 million in 2001, $2.3 million in 2002 and $375,000 in
2003.

     We recorded amortization of deferred charges of $4.5 million in connection
with these agreements in the six months ended June 30, 2000.

     Amortization of Deferred Stock Compensation. Amortization of deferred stock
compensation was $3.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2000. In
connection with stock option grants through June 30, 2000, we expect to record
$4.9 million as an expense on our statement of operations in the remaining six
months of 2000, $6.2 million in 2001, $3.7 million in 2002 and the balance in
future years. We expect to incur additional deferred stock compensation
amortization in connection with stock option grants made after June 30, 2000 and
prior to the date of this offering.

     Interest Income. Interest income reflects interest earned on cash and cash
equivalents and short-term investment balances. Interest income increased from
$507,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $2.9 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2000. The increase was due to larger average invested cash
balances resulting from the closing of an equity offering in April 2000.

     Interest Expense. Interest expense consists of interest on our long-term
debt and capital lease obligations used to finance capital expenditures.
Interest expense decreased from $1.0 million in the six months ended June 30,
1999 to $876,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2000. This decrease was due to
lower average debt balances.

     Provision for Income Taxes. We recorded a tax provision of $500,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1999, relating to foreign taxes withheld on license
revenue. No tax provision was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

     YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1998 AND 1999

     Revenue. Revenue, substantially all of which was license revenue, increased
from $1.4 million in 1997 to $28.3 million in 1998, and declined to $5.1 million
in 1999. This revenue was earned in connection with the technology license
agreements with IBM and Toshiba executed in 1997 and 1998. The significant
increase in 1998 was due to payments from Toshiba.

     We did not have any product revenue during the year ended December 31,
1997. Product revenue was $326,000 in 1998 and $76,000 in 1999 and related to
the sale of prototypes and development systems. Product revenue decreased from
1998 to 1999 primarily due to one-time requirements for development systems used
by licensees.

                                       26
<PAGE>   30

     Gross Profit. Product gross profit on product sales decreased from $255,000
in 1998 to $58,000 in 1999. The product gross profit in 1998 and 1999 reflects
sales of small volume prototypes and development systems.

     Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased from
$12.8 million in 1997 to $23.5 million in 1998 and $33.1 million in 1999. These
increases were primarily due to hiring additional development personnel,
prototype wafer costs and services, mask set costs and depreciation and
amortization expense arising from significant purchases of computer aided design
and other software tools.

     Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expense increased from $4.6 million in 1997 to $12.6 million in 1998 and $12.8
million in 1999. These increases were due primarily to costs of additional
personnel, increased costs related to expanding our marketing activities, costs
of implementing an enterprise resource planning system in 1998 and increased
legal, accounting and consulting fees.

     Amortization of Deferred Charge Under License Agreement. We recorded
amortization of $218,000 in 1999 in connection with the renegotiation of the IBM
technology license agreement.

     Interest Income. Interest income increased from $96,000 in 1997 to $892,000
in 1998 and $2.5 million in 1999. Interest income fluctuates primarily due to
the timing of equity financings and resulting changes in average invested cash
balances.

     Interest Expense. Interest expense increased from $271,000 in 1997 to $1.2
million in 1998 and $2.0 million in 1999. These increases were primarily due to
increasing average debt balances and capital expenditure financing activity as
we expanded our operating activities.

     Provision for Income Taxes. In 1998 and 1999, we recorded tax provisions of
$2.0 million and $500,000, respectively, relating to foreign taxes withheld on
license revenue. No tax provision was recorded in 1997.

</TABLE>

     Operating expenses have generally increased over the six quarters ended
June 30, 2000. After September 30, 1999, research and development expenses
increased primarily due to increased costs for wafers, services, mask sets and
development systems. In addition, costs of additional development personnel and
related facility and other allocable expenses increased. The increases in
selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily due to increased
salaries and related costs and increased costs related to expanding our
marketing and branding activities in the six months ended June 30, 2000, as well
as increased facility and other allocable expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through
private sales of convertible preferred stock and, to a lesser extent, from
license revenue and capital lease financing. At June 30, 2000, we had $112.4
million in cash and cash equivalents.

     Net cash used in operating activities was $14.0 million in 1997, $5.2
million in 1998, $36.4 million in 1999 and $30.7 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2000. In 1997, net cash used in operating activities was attributable
to our net loss of $16.2 million, partially offset by increases in accounts
payable and accrued liabilities. In 1998, 1999 and the six months ended June 30,
2000, net cash used in operating activities was attributable to our net losses,
partially offset by non-cash depreciation and amortization charges and increases
in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

                                       28
<PAGE>   32

     Net cash used in investing activities was $2.6 million in 1997, $15.9
million in 1998, and $19.2 million in 1999. Net cash used in investing
activities consisted of capital expenditures and short-term investments. Capital
expenditures were $2.6 million in 1997, $13.9 million in 1998 and $1.4 million
in 1999 and consisted primarily of property, equipment and software. Net cash
provided by investing activities was $9.9 million in the six months ended June
30, 2000. Net sales of short-term investments totaled $16.8 million and we used
cash of $1.7 million to purchase property, equipment and other assets in the six
months ended June 30, 2000.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $18.3 million in 1997, $43.5
million in 1998, $74.4 million in 1999 and $86.6 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2000. In 1997, net cash provided by financing activities was primarily
attributable to net proceeds from the sale of convertible preferred stock. In
1998, net cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to
net proceeds from the sale of convertible preferred stock, and the issuance of
debt and capital lease obligations to finance property and equipment. In 1999
and the six months ended June 30, 2000, net cash provided by financing
activities was primarily attributable to net proceeds from the sale of
convertible preferred stock.

     We lease equipment and software under non-cancelable leases with terms
ranging from 36 to 48 months. We lease our facilities under non-cancelable
operating leases, expiring in 2008. At June 30, 2000, we had total minimum lease
payments of $35.7 million under our operating leases and $7.5 million under our
capital leases. We also had minimum aggregate principal payments of $4.8 million
under our long-term debt.

     Our relationship with our foundry, IBM, allows us to cancel all outstanding
purchase orders, but requires us to pay the foundry for expenses it has incurred
in connection with the purchase orders through the date of cancellation. As of
June 30, 2000, IBM had incurred approximately $18.4 million of manufacturing
expenses on our outstanding purchase orders.

     As of June 30, 2000, we had no commitments for capital expenditures. We
anticipate that capital expenditures will be required as we grow our business.
We believe that existing cash, cash equivalent and short-term investment
balances will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve
months as we expand our business and increase commercial production and sales of
our products. After this period, capital requirements will depend on many
factors, including the rate of sales growth, market acceptance of our products,
costs of securing access to adequate manufacturing capacity, the timing and
extent of research and development projects and increases in our operating
expenses. To the extent that funds generated by this offering, together with
existing cash, cash equivalent and short-term investment balances and any cash
from operations, are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to
raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing.
Although we are currently not a party to any agreement or letter of intent with
respect to a potential acquisition or strategic arrangement, we may enter into
acquisitions or strategic arrangements in the future, which also could require
us to seek additional equity or debt financing. Additional funds may not be
available on terms favorable to us or at all.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE OF MARKET RISKS

     Interest Rate Risk. Our cash equivalents and short-term investments are
exposed to financial market risk due to fluctuations in interest rates, which
may affect our interest income. As of June 30, 2000, our cash equivalents
included money market funds, Federal agency discount notes and commercial paper
and earn interest at an average rate of 6.6%. Due to the short-term nature of
our investment portfolio, we would not expect our operating results or cash
flows to be affected to any significant degree by a sudden change in market
interest rates. We do not use our investment portfolio for trading or other
speculative purposes.

     Foreign Currency Exchange Risk. All of our sales and substantially all of
our expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result, we have relatively
little exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. We do not currently enter
into forward exchange contracts to hedge exposures denominated in foreign
currencies or any other derivative financial instruments for trading or
speculative purposes. However, in the event our exposure to foreign currency
risk increases, we may choose to hedge those exposures.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133, as amended, establishes methods for recording
derivative financial instruments and hedging activities related to those
instruments, as well as other hedging activities. We are required to adopt SFAS
133 effective January 1, 2001. Because we currently do not hold any derivative
instruments and do not engage in hedging activities, we do not currently believe
that the adoption of SFAS 133, as amended, will have a significant impact on our
financial position or results of operations.

     In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101. SAB 101 summarizes certain areas of the Staff's
views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue
recognition in financial statements. We believe that our current revenue
recognition principles comply with SAB 101.

     In March 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB issued EITF Issue
00-2, "Accounting for Website Development Costs." The issue addresses how an
entity should account for costs incurred to develop a website. The total
capitalizable costs associated with the development of our website have been
immaterial to date and have not been capitalized.

     In March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for
Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, Interpretation of APB Opinion
No. 25." Interpretation No. 44 clarifies the application of Accounting Principle
Board Opinion No. 25 to certain issues including: (1) the definition of employee
for purposes of applying APB Opinion No. 25, (2) the criteria for determining
whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan, (3) the accounting
consequences of various modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock
option or award, and (4) the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation
awards in business combinations. In general, Interpretation No. 44 is effective
July 1, 2000. We do not expect the adoption of Interpretation No. 44 to have a
material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

OVERVIEW

     Transmeta Corporation develops and sells hardware and software technologies
used to build Mobile Internet Computers, which are portable computing and
communication devices that are compatible with x86 software and provide
sufficient performance to run demanding Internet media applications while also
offering long battery life. Mobile Internet Computers include traditional
notebook computers and newly emerging Internet appliances. We believe that
Mobile Internet Computers using our products will allow users to access the
Internet virtually anywhere and anytime, and to benefit from the same
full-featured computing experience that they currently enjoy with their desktop
PCs. Crusoe is the name for our software-based family of microprocessors that
operate with low power consumption, offer high performance and are compatible
with software designed for IBM x86 PC compatible computers. Transmeta offers
Crusoe microprocessors suitable for a broad set of existing and emerging end
markets.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

     THE EVOLUTION OF THE DESKTOP PERSONAL COMPUTER TOWARD MOBILE INTERNET
     COMPUTING

     The desktop personal computer, or PC, is widely used for business and
personal activities and is commonly found in both the workplace and the home.
Although the PC was originally developed to run software applications on a
standalone basis, the emergence of the Internet has dramatically changed how
people use the PC. The PC is now commonly used for communication and
collaboration over the Internet in addition to computation and word processing
functions. Electronic mail, or email, is a widely used means of communication
and information delivery. Many PC users spend a significant portion of their PC
usage time browsing the World Wide Web. The Internet has also become an
efficient means of conducting personal and business transactions, primarily
through business-oriented websites and online business exchanges. Internet usage
has proliferated to the point where, out of a United States population of 273
million people, International Data Corporation, or IDC, estimates that more than
100 million access the Internet.

     People are becoming increasingly mobile in their business and personal
activities, and are using the Internet to connect remotely to their businesses,
family and friends. As people become more dependent upon email and visiting
their favorite sites on the World Wide Web, they want to have Internet access
wherever they go. Notebook computers enable people to bring the PC experience
with them when they are away from their homes and offices. The notebook computer
market is expected to grow as people use the Internet for web access, email and
other forms of communication, in addition to running business and personal
software applications. According to IDC, approximately 20 million notebook
computers were shipped during 1999 and this number is expected to grow to
approximately 35 million in 2003.

     As users seek access to the Internet anytime and anywhere, we believe they
will want the same portable convenience that they currently enjoy from cellular
phones. Until recently, most users have accessed the Internet through a wired
Internet connection in office environments or through dial-up modems in home
environments. However, consumer demand has caused the proliferation of Internet
connections to many locations, such as airports and hotels, where a mobile
Internet user may need them. Wireless modem technologies currently exist to help
mobile users reach the Internet when these land-based connections are
unavailable. We believe that the emergence of new wireless technologies will
further increase demand for Internet access from battery-powered mobile devices.

     As mobile computer users increasingly use wireless technologies to access
the Internet, they are likely to expect the same full Internet experience that
they currently have with a desktop PC. We believe this ability to access the
entire Internet, anywhere and anytime, with mobile computing devices will change
people's view of communication like cellular telephones changed how we use the
telephone. We refer to these devices, which include notebook computers and newly
emerging devices such as full-featured Internet appliances, as "Mobile Internet
Computers."

                                       31
<PAGE>   35

     The demand for Internet access has spawned an emerging market for simpler
computing devices dedicated to Internet applications. Often referred to as
"Internet appliances," these devices are designed to provide the user with an
Internet experience comparable to that delivered by a desktop PC. These
appliances take many forms, such as a handheld web tablet or a desktop flat
panel display with the electronics behind the display. As these devices
proliferate throughout the home and office, other types of Internet appliances
are emerging, such as set-top boxes and residential gateways. Some of these
devices will transform the wired Internet connection into radio-based
communication for other Internet appliances in the home. For example, the 11
Mbps IEEE 802.11(b) radio standard is being used to provide high-speed wireless
Internet connections in the home. Today the market for Internet appliances is in
its infancy, but is predicted to grow rapidly. IDC predicts that the market for
Internet appliances and other similar devices that access the Internet will grow
to more than 75 million units in 2003.

     The personal computer has improved tremendously since the introduction of
the first 64KB 5-MHz IBM x86 PC in 1981. While hardware performance and memory
capacity have each increased by a factor of about one thousand since the
original IBM x86 PC, software compatibility has remained largely unchanged.
Personal computers that retained software compatibility with the x86 computer
instruction language have thrived, while those that tried to use other
microprocessors incompatible with the x86 PC have not sustained significant
market share. Adherence to IBM x86 PC compatibility has been critical for the
success of both new PCs and thousands of PC-oriented software applications.
Microsoft's Windows95, Windows98 and Windows Millennium Edition operating
systems, for example, are only available for x86 compatible PCs.

     Beyond compatibility with standalone x86 PC software, the ability to access
the entire Internet and obtain the full Internet experience usually requires x86
compatibility. Software developers and developers of websites often presume that
users will be accessing the Internet through an x86 compatible PC. Software
developers will often use new multimedia and animation techniques in order to
attract people to their websites. Often these new techniques are delivered
through small software programs, called plug-ins, that extend the functionality
of a web browser. Most plug-ins are composed of small x86 compatible software
programs downloaded over the Internet. This means that an x86 plug-in will not
run unless the web browser is running on an x86 compatible microprocessor.
Without plug-in functionality, sections of a website dependent on a plug-in are
inaccessible, denying the user the full Internet experience. Full compatibility
with the Internet demands x86 software compatibility.

     DESIRABLE FEATURES FOR MOBILE INTERNET COMPUTERS

     Today's mobile computers can still be improved in many ways. For users to
obtain a truly satisfying Internet computing experience and for the markets for
notebook computers and Internet appliances to reach their full potential, a wide
range of user requirements must be simultaneously satisfied. To date, no
technology has enabled the full mobile Internet experience that incorporates the
wide range of features that users desire. We believe that the successful
evolution of Mobile Internet Computers will require a single solution that
addresses all of the following user desires:

     LONGER BATTERY LIFE. As users become increasingly mobile in their business
and personal lives, their ability to plug their Internet computing devices into
an electrical socket becomes increasingly constrained. To mitigate this problem,
Mobile Internet Computing devices need to run several hours on battery power
alone, significantly longer than the one to two hours often experienced with
existing notebook computers. In addition, because mobile users tend to run the
same high performance applications whether their computers are plugged into an
electric socket or running on battery power, they will want several hours of
battery life without noticeably sacrificing performance or portability. For
example, the ability of a battery to last for the entire duration of a
transatlantic airline flight would greatly increase the utility of notebook
computers.

     LIGHTER WEIGHT. Lighter and thinner notebook computers have grown in
popularity as people who need to stay connected to the Internet have become less
willing to travel regularly with heavy notebook computers. Notebook computers
can weigh as much as 8 or 9 pounds, making them cumbersome to carry. One of the
heaviest components of the notebook is the battery, but reducing the battery
size to reduce weight also reduces the notebook's running time before it must be
recharged.

                                       32
<PAGE>   36

     COMPARABLE PERFORMANCE. Most people are accustomed to accessing the
Internet through an x86 desktop PC. Playing a DVD movie, downloading an MPEG-4
streaming video movie or running a Macromedia Flash plug-in, for example,
require levels of performance comparable to that of a typical 400 MHz desktop
x86 PC. As mobile computing becomes a more integral part of daily business and
personal life, users will expect comparable levels of performance from their
Mobile Internet Computers.

     FULL X86 SOFTWARE AND INTERNET COMPATIBILITY. The majority of Internet
sites presume the user has an x86 notebook or desktop PC. Users will expect the
same full-featured Internet experience from any new Mobile Internet Computer as
they enjoy with their desktop PC. Internet users require x86-based plug-in
applications and general application software in order to enjoy an experience
comparable to that of the desktop PC. Thus, we believe that compatibility with
the x86 instruction set and basic PC system infrastructure will be important for
any Mobile Internet Computer.

     COST EFFECTIVE. For Mobile Internet Computers to proliferate, they must be
priced at levels that are suitable for consumer electronic devices. Particularly
in the Internet appliance market, consumers are expected to look for moderately
priced alternatives to the desktop PC and notebook computer to be used
throughout the home and office.

     COOL AND QUIET. As Mobile Internet Computers become more consumer-oriented,
issues such as cooling fan noise and surface heat will become increasingly
important to minimize the annoyance and discomfort associated with loud fans and
hot notebook computers. Ideally, Mobile Internet Computers will remain cool
without requiring a noisy fan.

     THE INDUSTRY MICROPROCESSOR DILEMMA

     Within a notebook computer or Internet appliance, the microprocessor
usually dictates the characteristics of the entire computer system.
Unfortunately, no single microprocessor has simultaneously enabled all of the
characteristics users desire for full-featured Mobile Internet Computers. These
limitations force system designers to make choices among various features such
that only a subset of user requirements is satisfied when using any traditional
microprocessor. For example, a common tradeoff in existing products is that x86
compatibility is sacrificed in order to achieve longer battery life.

     Two types of microprocessor architectures dominate today's marketplace.
They are generically known as Reduced Instruction Set Computers, or RISC, and
Complex Instruction Set Computers, or CISC. RISC is represented by a variety of
different microprocessor architectures such as ARM, MIPS, PowerPC and SPARC, and
CISC is typically represented by microprocessors found in x86 PCs. RISC
microprocessors were developed in the 1980s as a way to use a simpler
microprocessor design to provide higher performance. However, RISC instruction
sets are not compatible with x86 PC software, and systems that use this
architecture have much more limited software availability. Over recent years,
CISC microprocessor design teams have found that they were able to achieve
levels of performance similar to RISC chips by adding further complexity to
their designs. However, more complex designs have a number of other drawbacks,
including additional power usage and larger, more costly chips. When considering
alternatives among commonly available microprocessors, system designers
typically have the following choices and tradeoffs:

     - HIGH PERFORMANCE, HIGH POWER X86 COMPATIBLE MICROPROCESSORS. These are
       microprocessors typically used in a mobile or desktop PC. For a Mobile
       Internet Computer, the most important user disadvantages of these
       microprocessors are high power consumption and limited battery life.

     - LOW-PERFORMANCE X86 COMPATIBLE MICROPROCESSORS. These devices are usually
       based on an older generation microprocessor, such as a 486 generation
       design. The cost of these older designs is usually very low, but
       performance is often not sufficient to run modern multimedia applications
       such as MPEG-4 video movies.

     - HIGH PERFORMANCE, HIGH POWER RISC MICROPROCESSORS. These microprocessors
       are often found in RISC workstations and do not provide compatibility
       with x86 PC application software or x86 plug-ins.

                                       33
<PAGE>   37

     - LOW POWER RISC MICROPROCESSORS. There are several low power RISC
       microprocessors that can provide excellent battery life, but the lack of
       x86 compatibility limits their ability to provide the full-featured
       Internet experience, which requires the ability to run PC software and
       x86 plug-ins.

     We believe that no single microprocessor to date has provided enough of the
desired characteristics for Mobile Internet Computers to satisfy user
requirements and to achieve their full market potential. As a result, systems
developers must compromise their designs and speculate regarding the features
consumers might be willing to sacrifice as part of their Mobile Internet
Computing experience.

TRANSMETA'S SOLUTION

     Transmeta develops and sells software-based microprocessors and develops
additional hardware and software technologies that enable computer manufacturers
to build computers that simultaneously offer long battery life, high performance
and x86 compatibility. We have developed and patented the first software-based
microprocessor that is built using dynamic translation software as part of the
microprocessor. Our Crusoe microprocessors are unique because unlike traditional
microprocessors that are built entirely with silicon hardware, they are composed
of both a software and a hardware component.

     The software component of our Crusoe microprocessors is called Code
Morphing software. The primary function of Code Morphing software is to provide
a compatibility bridge between standard x86 PC software and our hardware chip
with its own proprietary instruction set. Code Morphing software dynamically
translates the ones and zeros of the x86 software instructions into a
functionally equivalent but simpler set of ones and zeros that our hardware chip
decodes and executes. This translation process is undetectable to the end user.
In addition, Code Morphing software continuously learns about the programs run
by a user in order to re-optimize the operation of those programs so that they
run on Crusoe with the lowest power usage and highest performance.

     The hardware component of our Crusoe microprocessors is a silicon chip
using a Very Long Instruction Word, or VLIW, architecture. It has a proprietary
instruction set with instructions up to 128-bits long. This chip provides the
basic processing units, registers and cache memory. Our VLIW architecture
provides for large amounts of instruction-level parallelism as a way to achieve
high performance with a relatively simple internal design primarily optimized
for speed and low power. Responsibility for complex control and instruction
scheduling functions, which is normally found in hardware, is transferred to the
Code Morphing software. Moving these functions from hardware into software
results in a design with fewer logic transistors, and hence a smaller die size,
to achieve a given level of performance.

     Our unique software-based microprocessor approach can help computers built
with Crusoe microprocessors to achieve the following benefits:

     - LONGER BATTERY LIFE. Crusoe microprocessors consume less power than other
       x86 microprocessors -- around 1 watt or less in typical applications.
       Existing x86 microprocessors with features comparable to those of Crusoe
       may range in power usage from 6 to 10 watts or more in similar
       applications. Since the microprocessor is often the largest user of
       overall system power, Crusoe's lower power consumption translates into
       longer battery life for a given battery size.

     - LIGHTER WEIGHT. The battery is often the heaviest single component in a
       mobile computer. Because Crusoe microprocessors use less power than
       typical hardware-based microprocessors, system designers have the option
       to build lighter weight computers with smaller batteries. Crusoe's lower
       power consumption also means that systems can be designed without heavy
       components used to eliminate heat, such as a fan or heat pipe, which add
       additional weight and thickness.

     - COMPARABLE PERFORMANCE. Crusoe microprocessors provide performance
       comparable to that of typical x86 desktop computers. For example, Crusoe
       microprocessors offer sufficient performance for highly computational
       multimedia tasks such as software decoding a DVD movie.

     - FULL X86 AND INTERNET SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY. Crusoe microprocessors are
       compatible with software written for the x86 PC and the Internet. This
       allows Crusoe microprocessors to run x86-based Internet

                                       34
<PAGE>   38

       software such as browser plug-ins, as well as the wide range of software
       applications familiar to users of desktop PCs. Crusoe microprocessors are
       compatible with operating systems, BIOS and applications software that
       normally run on x86 PCs.

     - COST-EFFECTIVE APPROACH. By moving functionality from hardware into
       software, Crusoe's VLIW hardware uses fewer logic transistors than other
       x86 PC microprocessors, resulting in a chip with a less complex and
       smaller die. Smaller chips cost less to manufacture than larger chips.
       Our small die size has also allowed us to integrate additional
       functionality, which can save space on the motherboard and provide OEMs
       with the cost advantages of a one-chip solution compared to a two-chip
       solution.

     - COOL AND QUIET. Because Crusoe microprocessors consume low power,
       computers using Crusoe generally do not require a cooling fan. This
       eliminates fan noise, fan weight, fan cost, and power consumption by the
       fan itself. We believe that cool and quiet computers will be increasingly
       valued as Internet appliances become more common in the home.

     - DOWNLOADABLE OVER THE INTERNET. Because Crusoe is implemented with
       software, we can send new versions of Code Morphing software over the
       Internet. We can use this feature to send product updates to customers,
       as well as to provide specialized versions with additional diagnostic
       capabilities, or even to fix bugs that may be found at a future time.

     We believe that we have one of the foremost combined hardware and software
engineering teams involved with microprocessor design. David Ditzel, our Chief
Executive Officer and a co-founder of Transmeta, is a pioneer designer in the
microprocessor arena. Over the last 25 years, he co-developed RISC
microprocessor technology while employed at AT&T's Bell Laboratories, and was
director of SPARC Laboratories and Chief Technical Officer of Sun Microsystems'
Microelectronics division. We have recruited a talented engineering staff in
both hardware and software areas consisting of many well respected senior
engineers. For example, we employ Linus Torvalds, the originator of the Linux
operating system, to work on a variety of software projects within the Crusoe
solution. At August 15, 2000, at least 138 of our employees had post-graduate
degrees, of which 44 have Ph.Ds.

STRATEGY

     Our objective is to provide industry-leading low power processing solutions
combined with x86 software compatibility at a variety of compelling cost and
performance points. Key elements of our strategy include:

     Extending Our Leadership in Software-Based Microprocessor Technologies. We
plan to extend our leadership position in software-based microprocessor
technology to provide differentiated products to the market. We intend to
develop successive generations of VLIW architectures and Code Morphing software
optimizations to further enhance power management and performance, while
maintaining x86 software compatibility. We also intend to exploit the unique
characteristics of software to continue to move additional hardware features
into software. We plan to extend the ability of our Code Morphing software to
"learn" about the characteristics of an application program while it is running,
and to use this knowledge to further improve performance and lower power
consumption.

     Focusing On the Notebook Computer and Mobile Internet Appliance
Markets. Our initial goal is to target our Crusoe microprocessors at growing
markets where low power, mobility and x86 PC software compatibility are
paramount, such as in the Mobile Internet Computing market. We believe that we
are well positioned to be the leading microprocessor solution for Mobile
Internet Computing devices, which are at the convergence point between
communications and computing. Our initial products are focused on the growing
light weight notebook computer market, which seeks long battery life combined
with high performance. We are also focused on the evolving Internet appliance
market, where low power consumption and low cost are important.

     Developing Additional Low Power Markets Beyond Mobile Computing. We believe
that there are a number of new market opportunities for our Crusoe
microprocessors where low power and x86 software compatibility are particularly
important, but where mobility and battery life may not be a factor. Next
generation set-top boxes, for example, will need x86 compatibility to provide
Internet connectivity and web
                                       35
<PAGE>   39

browsing, and sufficient performance to deliver streaming media in a home
environment where a cool and quiet system without a noisy fan will be desired.
As people acquire multiple computers or Internet appliances in the home, they
will need a facility, such as a home network server or a residential gateway,
for connecting them to each other and to the Internet. We also see a developing
interest in a new type of web server, where the critical factor is the number of
processors per unit volume. This is an application for which Crusoe's low power
features are particularly attractive.

     Developing Relationships With Companies and Communities That Enhance Our
Business. We are working aggressively to develop relationships with others that
enhance our respective businesses and allow us to focus on our core
competencies. We work closely with our OEM customers to collaborate on the
specifications for our next generation products. We have developed a working
relationship with Microsoft to ensure compatibility with their software products
and to collaborate on future products. We also work closely with the Linux
community to develop new features for our customized version of Linux, called
Mobile Linux, and we intend to share those improvements with the open source
community. We use IBM to fabricate silicon wafers using advanced process
technologies rather than developing our own manufacturing facilities. We believe
that these relationships will enable computer manufacturers to bring
Crusoe-based computers to market quickly.

     Developing Expertise Across the Entire Computer System. To speed the
adoption of our technology and improve our customers' time-to-market, we often
provide our targeted customers with complete reference computer system
solutions. By building an entire computer system, we can innovate across all the
components of a computer system and help our customers resolve system design
issues. We are committed to bringing expertise to our customers not only in
microprocessors, but also in the engineering know-how of motherboard design,
BIOS porting, operating system bring up, compatibility testing, power management
tuning and thermal design issues. We believe that our ability to provide
comprehensive systems expertise will continue to improve our customers'
time-to-market and accelerate the adoption of the Crusoe solution.

CORE COMPETENCIES AND TECHNOLOGIES

     We are involved in the research, design, product development and system
integration of many of the software and hardware technologies that make up a
complete x86 PC compatible computer system. In addition to the microprocessor,
the quality of the final computer system depends on the successful integration
and optimization of all of the various hardware and software components in the
computer. Our understanding of the complete computer system and our ability to
provide and improve an optimized total platform solution for our customers are
the result of our core competencies and technologies.

     CRUSOE MICROPROCESSOR DEVELOPMENT. Our approach to microprocessor design
implements substantial portions of the microprocessor with software. Each of our
Crusoe microprocessors consists of both a software component and a hardware
component. When combined, these two components form a single microprocessor
solution that is compatible with software programs designed for x86 PC
compatible computers, operates using less power than other x86 microprocessors
and runs applications with performance levels comparable to those of desktop
computers.

     We believe that there are several technical and business benefits to this
approach. By partitioning the complex problem of designing a microprocessor into
two pieces, each piece is individually simpler to implement. A substantial
portion of the functionality of our microprocessor is implemented with software,
which allows the remaining functionality to be implemented in a relatively
simple semiconductor chip. We have developed substantial technical expertise and
technology in developing the following components in our microprocessor.

     - CODE MORPHING SOFTWARE. The software component of our Crusoe
       microprocessors is called Code Morphing software, because it dynamically
       translates, or morphs, x86 instructions into VLIW instructions. Code
       Morphing software dynamically translates from the ones and zeros of the
       x86 software instructions into a functionally equivalent but simpler set
       of ones and zeros for our hardware chip to decode and execute. The
       technology involved in Code Morphing software is similar to that used

                                       36

       in advanced compilers, but with the input being binary programs rather
       than high-level language source code. Code Morphing software translates
       small groups of instructions incrementally, on an as-needed basis.
       Because of the incremental approach, the Code Morphing process happens so
       quickly that it is not detectable to the end user. Once a group of
       instructions is translated, those translated instructions are cached for
       successive executions without the need for further translation. Since
       instructions in an application often execute millions of times or more,
       performance costs associated with translation are quickly amortized. Code
       Morphing software constantly monitors the programs a user is running in
       order to re-optimize the operation of the program sections so that they
       run on the Crusoe microprocessor with the lowest possible power
       consumption and highest possible performance.

     - VERY LONG INSTRUCTION WORD (VLIW) PROCESSOR HARDWARE. The hardware
       component of our Crusoe microprocessors is a VLIW processor. The VLIW
       hardware chip is responsible for basic arithmetic computation, and the
       control and caching functions. Our VLIW chip currently supports both
       128-bit and 64-bit wide instructions. Each of these wide instructions can
       control multiple functional units in parallel for high performance under
       software control. For example, a single 128-bit VLIW instruction might
       simultaneously control an integer addition, an integer subtraction, a
       memory load and a branch. Our microprocessors currently employ a number
       of advanced features, such as 64 integer registers and 32 floating point
       registers. Crusoe microprocessors have relatively large Level 1
       instruction caches and large Level 1 data caches. Our high-end Crusoe
       microprocessors also contain on-chip Level 2 caches that improve
       performance by reducing average memory latencies, and also help reduce
       power by decreasing the number of power-burning memory accesses to DRAM.

     - INTEGRATED NORTHBRIDGE CHIPSET. Because we have moved many traditional
       chip functions from hardware into software, the basic VLIW processor
       requires a relatively small chip area. This provides the opportunity to
       integrate a full PCI bus controller, an SDRAM memory interface, and, on
       some Crusoe microprocessors, a DDR SDRAM memory interface. These
       functions have been traditionally provided in a second chip, called a
       northbridge. Crusoe microprocessors integrate this northbridge
       functionality onto the same silicon die as the processor. This increased
       level of integration reduces both power requirements and motherboard
       area, critical resources in small mobile devices.

     - LONGRUN POWER MANAGEMENT. Our proprietary LongRun technology is enabled
       by the monitoring and optimization capabilities of Code Morphing
       software. LongRun monitors levels of user activity to determine how much
       performance is actually needed. Our VLIW chip has special purpose
       hardware that allows LongRun to rapidly adjust the frequency and voltage
       of the VLIW silicon chip to a variety of levels to closely match the
       needed level of performance. Reducing frequency and voltage can have
       substantial effects on the power consumed by the Crusoe microprocessor,
       which in turn leads to longer battery life.

     The following diagram illustrates how applications and operating systems
run on top of our Crusoe microprocessor:

                                     graph

     PC DESIGN EXPERTISE. We design and build fully functional PC-compatible
computer systems based on our Crusoe microprocessors, in order to test our
Crusoe microprocessors in a real system environment and to provide working
reference designs. By providing schematics, motherboard layout and extensive
design notes, we can help our customers save time to market. We have a systems
engineering department that has already completed reference designs suitable for
use in notebook computers, mobile Internet appliances and residential gateway
systems. We also use these systems for many in-house purposes, such as testing
new Code Morphing software, testing BIOS software, benchmarking and
compatibility testing. We also take an active role in helping our customers
debug and optimize the design of their platforms for longest battery life and
best performance.

     BIOS DEVELOPMENT. The BIOS, or Basic Input/Output Software, is usually the
lowest level of software and the first software to execute x86 instructions in a
PC. The BIOS controls low-level hardware functions, set-up of peripheral
devices, some power management functions and a host of miscellaneous system
housekeeping operations. Different BIOS code is needed for each unique
motherboard and microprocessor combination, for Crusoe and other microprocessors
as well, in order to make each of the components in the computer system work
properly together. Knowing how to make changes to the BIOS requires detailed
expertise about the individual motherboard and microprocessor characteristics.
Our team of BIOS experts works with BIOS providers and customers to customize
their BIOS code to the Crusoe microprocessor, Crusoe power management features
and particular motherboard features. We then provide these changes back to the
BIOS providers, so that they can provide Crusoe-supported BIOS ports to the
computer manufacturers. This enables the computer manufacturer to save many
months of time and substantial expense compared to doing a BIOS port on its own.
In addition, our BIOS staff also assists our customers in the power-on and
bring-up of new products.

     POWER MANAGEMENT EXPERTISE. Power management in a computer system requires
substantial technical expertise. We have developed tools, methodologies and
techniques that allow us to provide power management expertise to our customers.
This expertise in power management is used to tune the computer system for the
longest possible battery life.

                                       38
<PAGE>   42

     THERMAL MANAGEMENT EXPERTISE. Electronic devices operating in a closed box
can generate excessive heat if not managed carefully. We use our expertise in
thermal management to advise our customers about thermal solutions for their
notebook and other Crusoe-based computers. Our chips incorporate thermal
sensors, which can be used in conjunction with a Crusoe BIOS port and Code
Morphing software to allow the Crusoe microprocessor to operate at the peak
performance allowed by the thermal solution of the computer system. We use
advanced software computer aided design tools to do thermal modeling of
individual computer systems to assure our customers that Crusoe will work
reliably in their systems. Our goal is to help our customers avoid the use of
fans. Eliminating fans can reduce noise and, by decreasing power usage, increase
battery life.

     MICROSOFT WINDOWS SUPPORT. We expect most notebook computers using Crusoe
to run a version of the Microsoft Windows operating system. We have established
a working relationship with Microsoft. Microsoft meets most of the operating
system needs of computer manufacturers directly. Transmeta occasionally provides
expertise for special software, such as "device drivers," that allow Windows or
the BIOS to communicate with Crusoe. For example, we have provided our customers
with a special device driver that allows them to use a graphical user interface
to control our LongRun power management. We also work with Microsoft and
computer manufacturers in testing Crusoe and customer platforms using
Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Lab tests.

     MOBILE LINUX. Particularly for Internet appliances, we find that our
potential customers desire customized versions of the Linux operating system. We
have substantial expertise in the Linux operating system. Linus Torvalds, the
creator of Linux, and several other well-known contributors to Linux and Linux
standards are employees of Transmeta. We use this expertise to work with our
customers to port, customize and otherwise provide enhancements to Linux that
work with the different Crusoe-powered Internet appliance devices that our
customers are designing. We have developed a customized version of Linux, called
Mobile Linux, that enhances the Linux operating system to add power management
functions, to operate without a hard disk drive and to use a compressed file
system, so that programs can be stored more efficiently in FLASH ROM memory.
Following the open source model, we intend to release our changes for the Mobile
Linux source code to the Linux community.

     COMPATIBILITY TESTING. We have invested substantial resources in developing
tools, expertise and test environments for compatibility testing. We test
compatibility across three major areas: x86 compatibility, hardware
compatibility, and full operating system and application compatibility. To test
Crusoe microprocessors for compatibility with the x86 instruction set, we have
purchased substantial microprocessor test suites, and had teams of programmers
write individual compatibility test programs. We have also purchased and built
computer programs that automatically generate further compatibility tests. For
hardware interface compatibility, we test Crusoe's PCI interface for
compatibility with the industry-standard definitions for PCI. We test Crusoe's
ability to communicate with standard components, such as graphics chips,
southbridge chips and PCMCIA controller chips, that communicate with the PCI
bus. We test a variety of SDRAMs and DDR SDRAMs to ensure functionality with
Crusoe hardware. We also test other components on the motherboard, such as power
supply chips and clock generator chips are also tested to make sure that they
work with Crusoe. We have established a systems compatibility test laboratory
that tests approximately 30 different PC operating systems and hundreds of
different PC applications with Crusoe.

     INTERNAL MICROPROCESSOR DEVELOPMENT SOFTWARE TOOLS. We have developed a set
of software tools including a C Compiler, a C++ Compiler, an assembler, a
linker, a loader and various advanced debugging tools that give us a unique view
into the execution of both Code Morphing software and translated user programs.
This capability allows us to isolate bugs quickly in x86 code and watch the
real-time operation of programs so that we can tune them for better performance
and lower power characteristics. These tools also have proven valuable in
bringing up new hardware systems with our customers because, even before the
first x86 instruction is executed, Code Morphing software has already executed
millions of instructions that can assist in probing different sections of the
system.

PRODUCTS AND PRODUCTS UNDER DEVELOPMENT

     In January 2000, we introduced our Crusoe family of microprocessors. We
expect to use the name Crusoe to represent current and future products, and to
use this single brand name to represent characteristics of long battery life,
x86 PC software compatibility and high performance. The different microprocessor
models in the Crusoe family offer different levels of performance and different
cost structures. We have found that the marketplace divides Mobile Internet
Computing into two distinct markets: notebook computers and Internet appliances.
Notebook computers usually run a version of the Microsoft Windows operating
system. This market demands higher performance, longer battery life and x86
compatibility and is less price sensitive than the Internet appliance market. To
address the notebook computer market, we have developed the TM5000 series of
Crusoe microprocessors. In the market for Internet appliances, compatibility
with the x86 instruction set is important, but cost can take a higher level of
importance. We have seen a growing interest in the Linux operating system for
this market. To address the Internet appliance market we have developed the
TM3000 series of Crusoe microprocessors.

     The table below shows a comparison of many of the key features and
differences of six different Crusoe microprocessors in our product roadmap,
three of which are currently in production, and three of which we expect to
introduce by the first half of 2001. The features of products not yet in
production are subject to change.

</TABLE>

     TM3X00 SERIES FOR INTERNET APPLIANCES. The TM3200 is a Crusoe
microprocessor intended for Internet appliance computers running the Linux
operating system. This microprocessor is composed of Transmeta's Code Morphing
software and a 128-bit VLIW chip. The VLIW chip runs at up to 400 MHz, contains
a processing engine capable of executing up to four basic operations every clock
cycle, and has a 64 KB Level 1 instruction cache and a 32 KB Level 1 data cache.
In addition to the basic processor, the TM3200 also contains a PCI bus interface
and a SDR SDRAM controller. These latter two functions, often referred to as a
northbridge, are integrated directly onto the Crusoe microprocessor.

     The TM3200 is produced using .22 micron CMOS technology. For the TM3300 and
TM3400 microprocessor, we have redesigned the parts to move from a .22 micron
technology into a .18 micron CMOS technology. We expect these products to be
available in the first half of 2001. We expect this technology shrink to improve
operating frequency, reduce power consumption and reduce costs.

                                       40
<PAGE>   44

     TM5X00 SERIES FOR NOTEBOOK COMPUTERS. The TM5400 is a high performance
Crusoe microprocessor intended for notebook computers running the Windows
operating system. This microprocessor is composed of Transmeta's Code Morphing
software and a 128-bit VLIW microprocessor. The TM5400 is a superset of the
TM3200, and has an increased Level 1 data cache of 64 KB. The TM5400 added a
number of new features such as a 256 KB Level 2 cache, LongRun power management
and a DDR DRAM controller. The TM5400 is produced using .18 micron CMOS
technology.

     In May 2000, we began sampling the TM5600 Crusoe microprocessor to our
customers. The TM5600 is similar to the TM5400, but has an increased Level 2
cache of 512 KB. The increased Level 2 cache improves the performance and
reduces the power consumption of the TM5600 relative to the TM5400. The TM5600
is produced using .18 micron CMOS technology.

     As yields improve and customer performance demands increase, we expect to
introduce the TM5800 Crusoe microprocessor. We expect that this microprocessor
may have increased Level 2 cache of up to 1 MB, and use more advanced
semiconductor technology, moving to a .13 micron CMOS technology as soon as it
is available during 2001.

CUSTOMERS

     We have manufactured limited quantities of our products for evaluation
purposes but, to date, have not shipped our products in volume. We expect to
sell our microprocessor products primarily to end manufacturers of computer
equipment.

     We anticipate that a relatively small number of customers will account for
a substantial percentage of our revenue. In addition, we expect to sell a
significant portion of our products to customers overseas. Because many notebook
computer companies manufacture their products through subcontractors located in
Asia, we expect that a majority of our revenue will be derived from customers in
that region. All of our sales to date have been denominated in U.S. dollars.

SALES AND MARKETING

     We market and sell our products through a variety of channels, including a
direct sales force, sales representatives and distributors. A marketing staff
supports our sales effort. We have opened an office in Taiwan to provide sales
and customer support. We also expect to sell our products in Asia through
distributors. In addition, we have field applications engineers who will work
directly with our customers.

     We expect to dedicate sales managers to principal customers to promote
close cooperation and communication. We work with our potential customers to
select, integrate and tune hardware and software system components that make up
the final computer system. We also provide our potential customers with
reference platform designs, which we believe will enable our customers to
achieve easier and faster transitions from the initial prototype designs through
final production releases. We believe these reference platform designs also will
enhance our targeted customers' confidence that our products will meet their
market requirements and product introduction schedules.

MANUFACTURING

     We use IBM for wafer fabrification. By subcontracting our manufacturing, we
focus our resources on product design and eliminate the high cost of owning and
operating a semiconductor fabrication facility. This fabless business model also
allows us to take advantage of the research and development efforts of
manufacturers, and permits us to work with those manufacturers that offer the
most advanced manufacturing processes and competitive prices.

     IBM, at its manufacturing plant in Vermont, has manufactured all of our
products to date. We have entered into a manufacturing agreement with IBM, which
expires no sooner than December 30, 2003. However, the contract does not
guarantee any level of production capacity or any particular price. Any
inability of IBM to provide the necessary capacity or output could result in
significant production delays. Under some circumstances, IBM may allocate its
available capacity to its other customers. If IBM suffers any

                                       41
<PAGE>   45

damage to its facility, or there is any other disruption of its manufacturing
capacity, we may not be able to qualify alternative manufacturing sources for
our products in a timely manner. We are considering qualifying one or more other
companies to also fabricate wafers for us.

     Our designs are compatible with industry-standard CMOS manufacturing
processes. We believe this compatibility will permit us to qualify additional
manufacturers to mitigate the risk of using a single source for a product. Our
products are now primarily fabricated using .18 micron process technologies. We
continuously evaluate the benefits, on a product by product basis, of migrating
to a smaller geometry process technology to reduce costs and increase the
performance of our microprocessors.

     IBM also performs the initial testing of the silicon wafers that contain
our microprocessors. After initial testing, the silicon wafers are cut into
individual semiconductors and assembled into packages. All testing is performed
on standard test equipment using proprietary test programs developed by our test
engineering group. We periodically audit our test facilities to ensure that
their procedures remain consistent with those required for the production of our
products. We rely upon IBM, at a site located in Canada, to assemble and test
substantially all of our products. This reliance on IBM could result in product
shortages or delays in the future. If these shortages or delays were
significant, our customers might seek alternative sources of supply, which could
harm our operating results and reputation.

     We participate in quality and reliability monitoring through each stage of
the production cycle by reviewing data from our wafer fabrication plant and
assembly subcontractor. We closely monitor wafer fabrication plant production to
enhance product quality and reliability and yield levels.

COMPETITION

     The market for microprocessors is intensely competitive, rapidly evolving
and subject to rapid technological change. We believe that competition will
become more intense in the future and may cause price reductions, reduced gross
margins and loss of market share, any one of which could significantly reduce
our future revenue or any income. Significant competitors that offer
microprocessors for the notebook computer market include Advanced Micro Devices
and Intel. Significant competitors that offer microprocessors for the Internet
appliance market include manufacturers of RISC microprocessors such as licensees
of ARM technology and licensees of MIPS technology. In addition, we face
competition from providers of x86 compatible microprocessors for the Internet
appliance market, including National Semiconductor.

     We compete on the basis of a variety of factors, including:

     - technical innovation;

     - performance of our products, including their power usage, product system
       compatibility, speed, reliability and density;

     - product price;

     - product availability;

     - reputation and branding; and

     - technical support.

     Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating
histories, significantly greater financial, technical, product development and
marketing resources, greater name recognition and larger customer bases than we
do. Many of our competitors also have significant influence in the industry. We
may not be able to compete effectively against current and potential
competitors, especially those with significantly greater resources and market
leverage.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

     Our success depends in part upon our ability to maintain the proprietary
aspects of our technology and to operate without infringing the proprietary
rights of others. We rely on a combination of patents, copyrights,

                                       42
<PAGE>   46

trademarks, trade secret laws and contractual restrictions on disclosure to
protect our intellectual property rights. We have six U.S. patents with
expiration dates ranging from 2016 to 2017. Our patents principally cover
microprocessors, software, components for microprocessors and systems including
microprocessors. We have applied for 29 additional U.S. patents and have filed
foreign patent applications based on our U.S. patents and patent applications.
It is possible that no patents will issue from our pending patent applications.
Even if additional patents are issued, taken together with our existing patents,
they may not provide sufficiently broad protection to protect our proprietary
rights. We hold a number of trademarks, including Transmeta, Crusoe, LongRun and
Code Morphing.

     Legal protections afford only limited protection for our technology.
Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may
attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that we
regard as proprietary. In addition, leading companies in the semiconductor
industry have extensive portfolios with respect to semiconductor technology.
From time to time, third parties, including these leading companies, may assert
exclusive patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights to
technologies and related methods that are important to us. Litigation may be
necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect
our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of our proprietary rights
or the rights, of others or to defend against claims of infringement or
invalidity.

EMPLOYEES

     At August 15, 2000, we and our subsidiaries employed 313 people in the
United States and Taiwan. Of these employees, 218 were engaged in research and
development, 38 were engaged in sales and marketing, 27 were engaged in
professional services and technical support and 30 were engaged in finance and
other administrative departments.

     Seven of our employees are located in Asia. In addition, at June 30, 2000,
24 people in the United States, Japan and Europe worked for us on a contract
basis. None of our employees is subject to any collective bargaining agreements.
We believe our employee relations are good.

FACILITIES

     We lease a total of approximately 137,475 square feet of office space in
five buildings in a business park complex located in Santa Clara, California. We
lease space in these buildings under four separate leases and one sublease, four
of which expire in June 2008 and one of which expires in July 2001. We sublease
a total of approximately 49,680 square feet of office space in two of the
buildings to three different subtenants. These subleases expire between
September 2001 and July 2002. We also lease office space in Taiwan to support
our sales and marketing personnel worldwide. We intend to expand our operations
significantly and therefore may discontinue subleasing space and may require
additional facilities in the future.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the
ordinary course of business. We are not currently involved in any material legal
proceedings.

     Each officer serves at the discretion of our board of directors. Each of
our officers and directors, other than nonemployee directors, devotes his or her
full time to our affairs. Our nonemployee directors devote the amount of time
necessary to discharge their duties to us. There are no family relationships
among any of our directors or officers.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

     Our bylaws currently provide for a board of directors consisting of seven
persons. All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders
and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Our current
directors were elected pursuant to a voting agreement that we entered into with
some of our principal stockholders. The holders of our Series B preferred stock
and Series C preferred stock, voting together, designated Messrs. Tai and Thomas
for election to our board. Quantum Industrial Partners LDC, one of the holders
of our Series F preferred stock, designated Mr. McNulty for election to our
board. Upon the closing of this offering, these board representation rights will
terminate and no stockholders will have any special rights with respect to board
representation.

     The term of each of our current directors will expire at the next annual
meeting of stockholders. Our board will be divided into three classes, serving
staggered three-year terms: Class I, whose term will expire at the first annual
meeting of stockholders following this offering; Class II, whose term will
expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders following this offering; and
Class III, whose term will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders
following this offering. As a result, only one class of directors will be
elected at each annual meeting of stockholders, with the other classes
continuing for the remainder of their respective terms. Messrs. Barnes and Tai
have been designated as Class I directors; Messrs. Ditzel, Goldman and Thomas
have been designated as Class II directors; and Messrs. Allen and McNulty have
been designated as Class III directors.

BOARD COMMITTEES

     The audit committee consists of Messrs. McNulty, Tai and Thomas. The audit
committee:

     - reviews our financial statements and accounting practices;

       our independent auditors.

     The compensation committee consists of Messrs. Barnes and Thomas. The
compensation committee:

     - reviews and recommends to our board the compensation and benefits of all
       of our officers and directors; and

     - reviews general policy relating to compensation and benefits.

     Our board currently administers the issuance of stock options and other
awards under our 1997 Equity Incentive Plan. Our board has delegated to Mr.
Ditzel the non-exclusive authority to grant common stock options under our 1997
Equity Incentive Plan, subject to certain restrictions, until such time as the
board revokes its delegation of authority.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

     None of the members of our compensation committee has at any time been an
officer or employee of Transmeta. None of our executive officers serves as a
member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that
has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our board or
compensation committee.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

     Mr. Goldman, the chairman of our board of directors, is paid an annual base
salary of $150,000. Other than Mr. Goldman, our directors are not compensated
for their services as directors other than reimbursement for travel expenses
related to board meeting attendance and the grant of stock options. Directors
have been eligible to participate in our 1997 Equity Incentive Plan.

     In December 1997, we granted Mr. Tai a nonqualified option to purchase
60,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.25 per share. In
July 1998, Mr. Tai exercised this option in full. Mr. Tai's shares are fully
vested. In July 1997, June 1998, November 1998 and March 1999, we granted Mr.
Goldman nonqualified options to purchase 40,000, 40,000, 150,000 and 250,000
shares of our common stock at exercise prices of $.25, $1.00, $1.30 and $1.30
per share. In December 1998, March 1999 and February 2000, Mr. Goldman exercised
these options in full. The shares received upon exercise vest over periods of
either three years and nine months or four years. As of June 30, 2000, 243,129
of the shares issued to Mr. Goldman were unvested and subject to repurchase by
us upon termination of Mr. Goldman's service to us. In July 1997 and November
1998, we granted Mr. Barnes nonqualified options to purchase 40,000 and 60,000
shares of our common stock at exercise prices of $.25 and $1.30 per share,
respectively. In December 1998 and June 1999, Mr. Barnes exercised these options
in full. The shares received upon exercise vest over periods of either three
years and nine months or four years. As of June 30, 2000, 43,752 of the shares
issued to Mr. Barnes were unvested and subject to repurchase by us upon
termination of Mr. Barnes's service to us.

     Each director will be eligible to participate in our 2000 Equity Incentive
Plan. Under this plan, option grants to directors who are not our employees, or
employees of a parent or subsidiary of ours, will be automatic and
non-discretionary. Each non-employee director who is a member of our board of
directors before the date of this offering and who has not received a prior
option grant will receive an option to purchase                shares of our
common stock effective upon the offering. Each non-employee director who becomes
a member of our board of directors on or after the date of this offering will be
granted an option to purchase                shares of our common stock as of
the date that director joins the board. Immediately after each annual meeting of
our stockholders, each non-employee director will automatically be granted an
additional option to purchase                shares of our common stock;
provided, that the non-employee director is a member of the Board of Directors
on such date and has served continuously as a member of the Board of Directors
for a period of at least twelve months since the last option grant to such
non-employee director. If less than twelve months has passed, then the number of
shares subject to the option granted after the annual meeting will be equal to
               multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
days that have elapsed since the last option grant to that director and the
denominator of which is 365 days.

     Each option will have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of
our common stock on the date of grant. The options will have ten-year terms and
will terminate three months after the date the director ceases

                                       47
<PAGE>   51

to be a director or consultant or twelve months if the termination is due to
death or disability. All options granted to non-employee directors will vest
over a four-year period at a rate of 25% of the total shares granted on the
first anniversary of the date of grant, and 2.08333% of the total shares granted
at the end of each full succeeding month thereafter, so long as the non-employee
director continuously remains our director or consultant. In the event of our
dissolution or liquidation or a "change in control" transaction, options granted
to our non-employee directors under the plan will become 100% vested and
exercisable in full.

</TABLE>

     In 1999, we granted to our employees options to purchase a total of
4,033,500 shares of common stock.

     Potential realizable values are calculated by:

     - multiplying the number of shares of common stock subject to a given
       option by $          , which is the assumed initial public offering
       price;

                                       48
<PAGE>   52

     - assuming that the amount derived from that calculation compounds at the
       annual 5% or 10% rates shown in the table for the entire ten-year term of
       the option; and

     - subtracting from that result the aggregate option exercise price.

The 5% and 10% assumed annual rates of stock price appreciation are required by
the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not reflect our
estimate or projection of future stock price growth.

     The options granted to Messrs. Ditzel, Chapman and Laird in 1999 were
immediately exercisable nonqualified stock options and were exercised prior to
December 31, 1999. We retain the right to repurchase at cost any shares that
remain unvested at the time the officer ceases to be employed by us. Our right
of repurchase lapses with respect to 20% of the shares after one year, 2% of the
shares each month during the second year and 2.333% of the shares each month
during the third and fourth years. The option granted to Mr. Steimle in 1999 was
an immediately exercisable nonqualified stock option and was exercised prior to
December 31, 1999. The shares issued upon exercise of this option were subject
to our right of repurchase, which lapsed with respect to 25% of the shares after
one year and 2.083% of the shares each month thereafter.

     In addition, during 2000, we have granted options to purchase shares of
common stock to the following executive officers: In January 2000, we granted
Mark K. Allen an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares with an exercise price of
$6.00 per share. In March 2000, we granted David P. Jensen an option to purchase
275,000 shares with an exercise price of $7.25 per share. In July 2000, we
granted Merle A. McClendon an option to purchase 550,000 shares with an exercise
price of $12.00 per share and we granted John O. Horsley an option to purchase
60,000 shares with an exercise price of $12.00 per share. The options granted to
Mr. Allen, Mr. Jensen, Ms. McClendon and Mr. Horsley are immediately exercisable
nonqualified stock options, but the shares issued upon exercise are subject to
our right of repurchase, which lapses with respect to 25% of the shares after
one year and 2.083% of the shares each month thereafter. Mr. Allen's option is
also subject to accelerated vesting upon a change in control of our company.

     The options discussed in this section expire ten years from the date of
grant. They were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of
our common stock as determined by our board on the date of grant.

AGGREGATED OPTION EXERCISES IN 1999

     The following table presents the number of shares acquired and the value

    repurchased by us on March 15, 2000 when Mr. Steimle's employment with us
    terminated.

     In January 2000, Mark K. Allen exercised his option to purchase 1,000,000
shares of common stock. In March 2000, David P. Jensen exercised his option to
purchase 275,000 shares of common stock. In August 2000, Merle A. McClendon
exercised her option to purchase 550,000 shares of common stock. All of the
shares issued to Mr. Allen, Mr. Jensen and Ms. McClendon upon exercise of their
stock options are subject to repurchase by us upon termination of their
employment. This repurchase right lapses over four years after the date of the
option grant.

CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENT

     Mr. Allen, our President and Chief Operating Officer, has purchased shares
of common stock under an agreement that provides for accelerated vesting under
specified circumstances following a change in control of Transmeta. Upon a
change in control transaction followed within twelve months by a non-justified
termination of Mr. Allen's employment or his resignation for good reason,
vesting will accelerate as to 50% of any unvested portion of the 1,000,000
shares of common stock that he holds. Mr. Allen may be terminated with
justification if he commits any willful act of material fraud or dishonesty or
gross misconduct against Transmeta or its subsidiaries or is indicted or
convicted for certain felonies, or in the event of his death or disability. Mr.
Allen may resign with good reason if, after a change of control, his salary is
reduced, his workplace is relocated more than 50 miles away from his original
workplace or his responsibilities are substantially changed.

SEVERANCE AGREEMENTS WITH EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

     In March 2000, we entered into a severance agreement with Daniel E.
Steimle, our former Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Steimle's employment with us
terminated as of March 15, 2000. Under this agreement, Mr. Steimle received a
severance payment of $110,000. We repurchased 318,960 shares of common stock for
a price of $1.30 per share and Mr. Steimle's remaining 70,103 unvested shares
will continue to vest until September 23, 2000. The agreement also provides for
the extension until December 31, 2001 of the maturity date of two secured full
recourse promissory notes with unpaid principal amounts of $163,852 and
$104,000, together with interest compounded semi-annually on the unpaid
principal at rates of 4.47% and 4.77%, which were issued by Mr. Steimle to
exercise his options.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS AND OPTION GRANTS

     1995 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN AND 1997 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

     As of June 30, 2000, options to purchase 427,760 shares of our common stock
were outstanding under our 1995 Equity Incentive Plan and no shares were
available for future option grants. These options had a weighted average
exercise price of $.08 per share. As of June 30, 2000, options to purchase
5,176,064 shares of our common stock were outstanding under our 1997 Equity
Incentive Plan and 1,097,644 shares of our common stock remained available for
future option grants. The options outstanding under the 1997 Equity Incentive
Plan as of June 30, 2000 had a weighted average exercise price of $5.09 per
share. In addition, in May 1998, we issued a total of 34,000 shares of common
stock to 34 employees, under our 1997 Equity Incentive Plan. Our 2000 Equity
Incentive Plan will become effective upon the date of this prospectus. No
options will be granted under our 1997 Equity Incentive Plan after this
offering. However, any outstanding options under our 1995 Equity Incentive Plan
or 1997 Equity Incentive Plan will remain outstanding and subject to our 1995
Equity Incentive Plan or 1997 Equity Incentive Plan, as applicable, and related
stock option agreements until they are exercised or until they terminate or
expire by their terms. Options granted under our 1995 Equity Incentive Plan or
1997 Equity Incentive Plan are subject to terms substantially similar to those
described below with respect to options granted under our 2000 Equity Incentive
Plan.

     NON-PLAN GRANTS

     From November 1, 1998 through June 30, 2000, we granted options to purchase
a total of 3,610,000 shares of our common stock, with a weighted average
exercise price of $4.21 per share, to a number of our employees, including
officers and directors, outside of any option plan. As of June 30, 2000, options
to purchase a total of 3,010,000 shares had been exercised.

     2000 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

     In                2000, our board adopted our 2000 Equity Incentive Plan,
subject to stockholder approval. The 2000 Equity Incentive Plan will become
effective on the date of this prospectus and will serve as

                                       50
<PAGE>   54

the successor to our 1995 Equity Incentive Plan and 1997 Equity Incentive Plan.
The 2000 Equity Incentive Plan authorizes the award of options, restricted stock
and stock bonuses.

     The 2000 Equity Incentive Plan will be administered by the compensation
committee of our board of directors, each member of which is an outside director
as defined under applicable federal tax laws. The compensation committee will
have the authority to interpret this plan and any agreement entered into under
the plan, grant awards and make all other determinations for the administration
of the plan.

     Our 2000 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of both incentive
stock options that qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and
nonqualified stock options. The incentive stock options may be granted only to
our employees or employees of any of our subsidiaries. The nonqualified stock
options, and all awards other than incentive stock options, may be granted to
our employees, officers, directors, consultants, independent contractors and
advisors and those of any of our subsidiaries. However, consultants, independent
contractors and advisors are only eligible to receive awards if they render bona
fide services not in connection with the offer and sale of securities in a
capital-raising transaction. The exercise price of incentive stock options must
be at least equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of
grant. The exercise price of incentive stock options granted to 10% stockholders
must be at least equal to 110% of the fair market value of our common stock on
the date of grant.

     The maximum term of the options granted under our 2000 Equity Incentive
Plan is ten years. The awards granted under this plan may not be transferred in
any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and may
be exercised during the lifetime of the optionee only by the optionee. The
compensation committee may allow exceptions to this restriction for awards that
are not incentive stock options. Options granted under our 2000 Equity Incentive
Plan generally expire three months after the termination of the optionee's
service to us or to a parent or subsidiary of ours, or twelve months if the
termination is due to death or disability. In the event of a liquidation,
dissolution or change in control transaction, except for options granted to
non-employee directors, the options may be assumed or substituted by the
successor company. Except for options granted to non-employee directors, in the
event these options are not assumed or substituted, such options will expire on
such transaction at such time and on such conditions as the compensation
committee will determine.

     We have reserved 3,500,000 shares of our common stock for issuance under
the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan. The number of shares reserved for issuance under
this plan will be increased by:

     - the number of shares of our common stock reserved under our 1997 Equity
       Incentive Plan that are not issued or subject to outstanding grants on
       the date of this prospectus;

     - the number of shares of our common stock issued under our 1997 Equity
       Incentive Plan that we repurchase at the original purchase price; and

     - the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of
       options granted under our 1997 Equity Incentive Plan that expire or
       become unexercisable at any time after this offering without having been
       exercised in full.

     In addition, under the terms of the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan, the number
of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the plan will increase
automatically on January 1 of each year commencing in 2001 by an amount equal to
5% of our total outstanding shares of common stock as of the immediately
preceding December 31.

     Shares available for grant and issuance under our 2000 Equity Incentive
Plan include:

     - shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of an option granted
       under the plan that is terminated or cancelled before the option is
       exercised;

     - shares of our common stock issued upon exercise of any option granted
       under this plan that we repurchase at the original purchase price;

     - shares of our common stock subject to awards granted under this plan that
       are forfeited or that we repurchase at the original issue price; and
                                       51
<PAGE>   55

     - shares of our common stock subject to stock bonuses granted under this
       plan that otherwise terminate without shares being issued.

     During any calendar year, no person will be eligible to receive more than
2,000,000 shares, or 3,000,000 shares in the case of a new employee, under the
2000 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2000 Equity Incentive Plan will terminate in
               , 2010, unless it is terminated earlier by our board.

     2000 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

     In           2000, our board adopted our 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan,
subject to stockholder approval. The 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan will
become effective on the first day on which price quotations are available for
our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market. The employee stock purchase plan
is designed to enable eligible employees to purchase shares of our common stock
at a discount on a periodic basis.

     Our compensation committee will administer the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan. Our employees generally will be eligible to participate in this plan if
they are employed by us, or a subsidiary of ours that we designate, for more
than 20 hours per week and more than five months in a calendar year. Our
employees are not eligible to participate in our 2000 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan if they are 5% stockholders or would become 5% stockholders as a result of
their participation in the plan. Under the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan,
eligible employees may acquire shares of our common stock through payroll
deductions (or through a single lump sum payment in the case of the first
offering period). Our eligible employees may select a rate of payroll deduction
between 1% and 15% of their cash compensation. For the first offering period
employees shall be automatically granted an option based on 15% of their cash
compensation during the first purchase period. An employee's participation in
this plan will end automatically upon termination of employment for any reason.

     No participant will be able to purchase shares having a fair market value
of more than $25,000, determined as of the first day of the applicable offering
period, for each calendar year in which the employee participates in the 2000
Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Except for the first offering period, each
offering period will be for two years and will consist of four six-month
purchase periods. The first offering period is expected to begin on the first
day on which price quotations are available for our common stock on the Nasdaq
National Market. The first purchase period may be more or less than six months
long. After that, the offering periods will begin on February 1 and August 1.
The purchase price for shares of our common stock purchased under the 2000
Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be 85% of the lesser of the fair market value
of our common stock on the first day of the applicable offering period or the
last day of each purchase period. Our compensation committee will have the power
to change the starting date of any later offering period, the purchase date of a
purchase period and the duration of any offering period or purchase period
without stockholder approval if this change is announced before the relevant
offering period or purchase period. Our 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is
intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the
Internal Revenue Code.

     We have initially reserved 1,000,000 shares of our common stock for
issuance under the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The number of shares
reserved for issuance under the plan will increase automatically on January 1 of
each year, commencing in 2001, by an amount equal to 1% of our total outstanding
shares as of the immediately preceding December 31. Our board or compensation
committee may reduce the amount of the increase in any particular year. The 2000
Employee Stock Purchase Plan will terminate in                , 2010, unless it
is terminated earlier by our board of directors.

     401(K) PLAN

     We sponsor a defined contribution plan intended to qualify under Section
401 of the Internal Revenue Code, or a 401(k) Plan. Employees who are at least
21 years old are generally eligible to participate and may enter the 401(k) Plan
as of the first day of any month. Participants may make pre-tax contributions to
the plan of up to 15% of their eligible earnings, subject to a statutorily
prescribed annual limit. Each participant is fully vested in his or her
contributions and the investment earnings. We may make matching contributions on
a
                                       52
<PAGE>   56

discretionary basis to the 401(k) Plan but had not done so as of June 30, 2000.
Contributions by the participants or us to the plan, and the income earned on
these contributions, are generally not taxable to the participants until
withdrawn. Contributions by us, if any, would generally be deductible by us when
made. Contributions are held in trust as required by law. Individual
participants may direct the trustee to invest their accounts in authorized
investment alternatives.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS AND LIMITATION ON LIABILITY

     Our certificate of incorporation includes a provision that limits or
eliminates the personal liability of a director for monetary damages resulting
from breach of his or her fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:

     - for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to Transmeta or its
       stockholders;

     - for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional
       misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

     - unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions
       or other distributions; or

     - for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
       benefit.

     Our bylaws provide that:

     - we are required to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest
       extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to
       limited exceptions where indemnification is not permitted by applicable
       law;

     - we are required to advance expenses, as incurred, to our directors and
       officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent
       permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to limited
       exceptions; and

     - the rights conferred in the bylaws are not exclusive.

     In addition to the indemnification required in our certificate of
incorporation and bylaws, before the completion of this offering, we intend to
enter into indemnification agreements with each of our current directors and
officers. These agreements will provide for the indemnification of our officers
and directors for all expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any
action or proceeding brought against them by reason of the fact that they are or
were agents of Transmeta. We also intend to obtain directors' and officers'
insurance to cover our directors, officers and some of our employees for
liabilities, including liabilities under securities laws. We believe that these
indemnification provisions and agreements and this insurance are necessary to
attract and retain qualified directors and officers.

     The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from
bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. They
may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and
officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other
stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder's investment may be adversely affected
to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors
and officers as required by these indemnification provisions. At present, there
is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers
or employees regarding which indemnification by Transmeta is sought, nor are we
aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for
indemnification.

                           RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     Since January 1, 1997, we have not been a party to, and we have no plans to
be a party to, any transaction or series of similar transactions in which the
amount involved exceeded or will exceed $60,000 and in which any current
director, executive officer or holder of more than 5% of our common stock had or
will have an interest, other than as described where required under "Management"
and the transactions described below.

     In addition, on May 17, 2000, we loaned $750,000 to each of David R. Ditzel
and Douglas A. Laird. Mr. Ditzel and Mr. Laird each delivered a promissory note
secured by shares of common stock held by them. Each note has a five-year term
and bears interest annually at 6.40% on the principal amount.

                             PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS

     The following table presents information regarding the beneficial ownership
of our common stock as of July 31, 2000, and as adjusted to reflect the sale of
the shares in this offering, for:

     - each person or entity known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our
       common stock;

     - each of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table
       above;

     - each of our directors; and

     - all executive officers and directors as a group.

     The percentage of beneficial ownership for the following table is based on
56,672,755 shares of common stock outstanding as of July 31, 2000, assuming the
conversion of all outstanding shares of our preferred stock into 36,587,171
shares of our common stock and the conversion of a convertible promissory note
into 600,000 shares of common stock, which will occur upon the closing of this
offering. The percentage of beneficial ownership after the offering is based on
               shares of our common stock issued in connection with this
offering, assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option.

     To our knowledge, except under community property laws or as otherwise
noted, the persons named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power
with respect to all shares beneficially owned. Unless otherwise indicated, each
five percent stockholder listed below maintains a mailing address of c/o
Transmeta Corporation, 3940 Freedom Circle, Santa Clara, California 95054.

     Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and does not necessarily indicate beneficial
ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, beneficial ownership
includes those shares of common stock over which the stockholder has sole or
shared voting or investment power. It also includes shares of common stock that
the stockholder has a right to acquire within 60 days after July 31, 2000
through the exercise of any option, warrant or other right. The percentage
ownership of the outstanding common stock, however, is based on the assumption,
expressly required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, that
only the person or entity whose ownership is being reported has converted
options or warrants into shares of our common stock.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

GENERAL

     Immediately following the closing of this offering, our authorized capital
stock will consist of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, $.00001 par value
per share, and 5,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, $.00001 par
value per share. As of June 30, 2000, we had outstanding 56,526,243 shares of
common stock, assuming the conversion of all outstanding preferred stock into
common stock and the conversion of a convertible promissory note into 600,000
shares of common stock, which will occur upon the closing of this offering. As
of June 30, 2000, we had approximately 345 shareholders.

COMMON STOCK

     DIVIDEND RIGHTS

     Subject to preferences that may apply to shares of preferred stock
outstanding at the time, the holders of outstanding shares of common stock are
entitled to received dividends out of assets legally available at the times and
in the amounts that our board may determine from time to time.

     VOTING RIGHTS

     Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of
common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. We have
not provided for cumulative voting for the election of directors in our
certificate of incorporation. This means that the holders of a majority of the
shares voted can elect all of the directors then standing for election. Prior to
that time, however, cumulative voting in the election of directors will be in
effect, meaning that each share of voting stock will be entitled to a number of
votes equal to the number of votes to which that share would normally be
entitled multiplied by the number of directors to be elected. A stockholder may
then cast all of these votes for a single candidate or may allocate them among
as many candidates as the stockholder may choose. In addition, our certificate
of incorporation and bylaws require the approval of two-thirds, rather than a
majority, of the shares entitled to vote for some matters. For a description of
these matters, see "-- Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and our Certificate
of Incorporation and Bylaws" below.

     NO PREEMPTIVE, CONVERSION OR REDEMPTION RIGHTS

     Our common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights and is not subject to
conversion or redemption.

     RIGHT TO RECEIVE LIQUIDATION DISTRIBUTIONS

     Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our company, the holders
of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after
payment of all liabilities and the liquidation preferences of any outstanding
preferred stock. Each outstanding share of common stock is, and all shares of
common stock to be outstanding upon completion of this offering will be, fully
paid and nonassessable.

PREFERRED STOCK

     Following this offering, we will be authorized, subject to limitations
imposed by Delaware law, to issue preferred stock in one or more series, to
establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series,
and to fix the rights, preferences and privileges of the shares of each wholly
unissued series and any of its qualifications, limitations or restrictions. Our
board can also increase or decrease the number of shares of any series, but not
below the number of shares of that series then outstanding, without any further
vote or action by the stockholders.

     The board may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or
conversion rights that could harm the voting power or other rights of the
holders of the common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing
flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate
purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing a change in control of Transmeta and might harm

                                       58
<PAGE>   62

the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the
holders of common stock. We have no current plans to issue any shares of
preferred stock.

WARRANTS

     As of June 30, 2000, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 1,073,216
shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $2.27 per
share. The warrants are exercisable at any time up to their expiration date and
expire variously from August 2001 through April 2008.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

     As of June 30, 2000, we had outstanding a promissory note in favor of IBM
in the principal amount of $600,000. The note does not bear interest and is
convertible into 600,000 shares of our common stock upon the closing of this
offering at the option of IBM. Unless converted, the promissory note is due on
December 31, 2003.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

     The holders of 36,587,171 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion
of the preferred stock have the right to require us to register their shares
with the Securities and Exchange Commission so that those shares may be publicly
resold or to include their shares in any registration statement we file. In
addition, the holders of 1,210,392 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise
of warrants and the conversion of the promissory note in favor of IBM have
piggyback registrations rights.

     Demand Registration Rights. At any time six months after the closing of
this offering, the holders of at least 20% of the shares having demand
registration rights have the right to require that we register all or a portion
of their shares. We are only obligated to file two registration statements in
response to these demand registration rights. The first demand registration
right exercised must cover a sale of securities with a total public offering
price of at least $25 million and the second demand registration right exercised
must cover a sale of at least $15 million of securities. We may postpone the
filing of a registration statement for up to 120 days once in a 12-month period
if we determine that the filing would be seriously detrimental to us and our
stockholders. The underwriters of any underwritten offering will have the right
to limit the number of shares to be included in a registration statement filed
in response to the exercise of these demand registration rights due to marketing
reasons.

     Piggyback Registration Rights. If we register any securities for public
sale, the stockholders with registration rights will have the right to include
their shares in this registration, subject to specified exceptions. The
underwriters of any underwritten offering will have the right to limit the
number of shares registered by these holders under specified conditions.

     Form S-3 Registration Statements. The holders of the shares having
registration rights can request that we register their shares if we are eligible
to file a registration statement on Form S-3 and if the total price of the
shares of common stock offered to the public is at least $500,000. These holders
may only require us to file one Form S-3 Registration Statement in any 12-month
period. We may postpone the filing of any registration statement for up to 120
days if we determine that the filing would be seriously detrimental to us and
our stockholders, although we may exercise this right only once in any 12-month
period.

     We will pay all expenses related to any demand or piggyback registration
and up to two registrations on Form S-3, except for underwriters' discounts and
commissions, which will be paid by the selling stockholders. The registration
rights described above will expire eight years following the completion of this
offering.

ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS OF DELAWARE LAW AND OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND
BYLAWS

     The provisions of Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation and our
bylaws may have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another party
from acquiring control of us.

                                       59
<PAGE>   63

     DELAWARE LAW

     We will be subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law regulating corporate takeovers. This section prevents some
Delaware corporations from engaging, under some circumstances, in a business
combination, which includes a merger or sale of more than 10% of the
corporation's assets with any interested stockholder, which is a stockholder who
owns 15% or more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock, as well as
affiliates and associates of the stockholder, for three years following the date
that the stockholder became an "interested stockholder" unless:

     - the transaction is approved by the board of directors prior to the date
       the interested stockholder attained that status;

     - upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder's
       becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at
       least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time
       the transaction commenced; or

     - on or subsequent to that date the business combination is approved by the
       board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by
       at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by
       the interested stockholder.

     A Delaware corporation may opt out of this provision with an express
provision in its original certificate of incorporation or an express provision
in its certificate of incorporation or bylaws resulting from a stockholders'
amendment approved by at least a majority of the outstanding voting shares.
However, we have not opted out of this provision. The statute could prohibit or
delay mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts and, accordingly,
may discourage attempts to acquire us.

     CHARTER AND BYLAWS

     Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that:

     - following the completion of this offering, no action can be taken by
       stockholders except at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders
       called in accordance with our bylaws and stockholders may not act by
       written consent;

     - following the completion of this offering, the approval of holders of
       two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors
       will be required to adopt, amend or repeal our bylaws or amend or repeal
       the provisions of our certificate of incorporation regarding the election
       and removal of directors and ability of stockholders to take action;

     - stockholders may not call special meetings of the stockholders or fill
       vacancies on the board;

     - our board of directors will be divided into three classes, each serving
       staggered three-year terms. This means that only one class of directors
       will be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders, with the other
       classes continuing for the remainder of their respective terms. Directors
       may only be removed for cause by the holders of two-thirds of the shares
       entitled to vote at an election of directors; and

     - we will indemnify officers and directors against losses that they may
       incur in investigations and legal proceedings resulting from their
       services to us, which may include services in connection with takeover
       defense measures.

CALIFORNIA FOREIGN CORPORATION LAW

     Section 2115 of the California Corporations Code provides that under some
circumstances several provisions of the California Corporations Code may be
applied to foreign corporations qualified to do business in California
notwithstanding the law of the jurisdiction where the corporation is
incorporated. These corporations are referred to in this section as
"quasi-California" corporations. Section 2115 applies to foreign corporations
that have more than half of their voting stock held by stockholders residing in
California and more than half of their business deriving from California. If we
were determined to be a quasi-California corporation, we would have to comply
with California law with respect to, among other things, elections of
                                       60
<PAGE>   64

directors and distributions to stockholders. Under the California Corporations
Code, a corporation is prohibited from paying dividends unless:

     - the retained earnings of the corporation immediately prior to the
       distribution equal or exceed the amount of the proposed distribution; or

     - (a) the assets of the corporation, exclusive of specific non-tangible
       assets, equal or exceed 1.25 times its liabilities, exclusive of specific
       liabilities; and

       (b) the current assets of the corporation at least equal its current
       liabilities. If the average pre-tax net earnings of the corporation
       before interest expense for the two years preceding the distribution were
       less than the average interest expense of the corporation for those
       years, however, the current assets of the corporation must exceed 1.25
       times its current liabilities.

     Following this offering, we will be exempt from the application of Section

held by more than 800 stockholders.

                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

     Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, including shares issued
upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants, in the public market after
this offering could cause the prevailing market price of our common stock to
fall or impair our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

     Upon completion of this offering, we will have outstanding         shares
of our common stock, or         shares if the underwriters' over-allotment
option is exercised in full, assuming that there are no exercises of outstanding
options or warrants after June 30, 2000. Of these shares, all of the
shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable in the public market
without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless
these shares are held by "affiliates," as that term is defined in Rule 144 under
the Securities Act. For purposes of Rule 144, an "affiliate" of an issuer is a
person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries,
controls, or is controlled by or is under common control with, the issuer.
Shares purchased by an affiliate may not be resold except pursuant to an
effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration,
including an exemption under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. The remaining
56,526,243 shares of our common stock held by existing stockholders are
"restricted securities," as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the Securities
Act. These restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if they
are registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule
144 or 701 under the Securities Act. These rules are summarized below. Subject
to the lock-up agreements described below and the provisions of Rule 144 and
Rule 701, additional shares will be available in the public market as follows:

</TABLE>

     In addition, based on options outstanding as of June 30, 2000, after this
offering, 7,277,040 shares will be issuable under outstanding options and
warrants, of which approximately         will be exercisable 180 days after this
offering.

LOCK-UP AGREEMENTS

     The officers, directors and substantially all of our stockholders have
agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of directly or indirectly, any of their shares of common stock or any
securities convertible or exchangeable, of shares of common stock for a period
of 180 days after the date of this offering without the prior written consent of
Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated. Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, however,
may at its sole discretion, at any time without notice, release all or any
portion of the shares subject to lock-up agreements.

RULE 144

     In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, beginning 90 days after
the date of this prospectus, a person who has beneficially owned shares of our
common stock for at least one year from the later of the date those shares of
common stock were acquired from us or from an affiliate of ours would be
entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares that is not
more than the greater of:

          (1) 1% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding, which
     will equal approximately         shares immediately after this offering; or

          (2) the average weekly trading volume of our common stock on the
     Nasdaq National Market during the four calendar weeks before a notice of
     the sale on Form 144 is filed.

     Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions, notice
requirements and the availability of current public information about us.

                                       62
<PAGE>   66

RULE 144(K)

     In addition, under Rule 144(k), a person who is not one of our affiliates
at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially
owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years from the later of
the date these shares of common stock were acquired from us or from an affiliate
of ours, including the holding period of any prior owner other than an
affiliate, is entitled to sell those shares without complying with the manner of
sale, public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.
Therefore, unless otherwise restricted pursuant to the lock-up agreements, those
shares may be sold immediately upon the completion of this offering.

RULE 701

     In general, under Rule 701 of the Securities Act as currently in effect,
subject to specified exceptions, our employees, consultants or advisors who
purchased shares from us in connection with a stock option plan can resell,
unless otherwise restricted pursuant to the lock-up agreements, those shares 90
days after the date of this prospectus in reliance on Rule 144, but without
complying with some of the restrictions, including the holding period, contained
in Rule 144.

REGISTRATIONS

     After this offering, we intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8
under the Securities Act covering 10,263,824 shares of our common stock subject
to options outstanding under our 1995 Equity Incentive Plan, 1997 Equity
Incentive Plan or non-plan grants, shares reserved for issuance under our 2000
Equity Incentive Plan and 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and 3,761,040 shares
issued upon exercise of options by employees. This registration statement is
expected to be filed as soon as practicable after this offering. However, none
of the shares registered will be eligible for resale until expiration of the
180-day lock-up restriction to which they are subject. In addition, the holders
of 36,587,171 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the preferred
stock and the holders of 1,210,392 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise
of warrants and the conversion of a promissory note are entitled pursuant to
contractual provisions providing for registration rights to require us to
register our securities owned by them for public sale.

</TABLE>

     The underwriters are offering the shares of common stock subject to their
acceptance of the shares from us and subject to prior sale. The underwriting
agreement provides that the obligations of the several underwriters to pay for
and accept delivery of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus are
subject to the approval of certain legal matters by their counsel and to certain
other conditions. The underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all of the
shares of common stock offered by this prospectus if any such shares are taken.
However, the underwriters are not required to take or pay for the shares covered
by the underwriters' over-allotment option described below.

     The underwriters initially propose to offer part of the shares of common
stock directly to the public at the initial public offering price listed on the
cover page of this prospectus and part to certain dealers at a price that
represents a concession not in excess of $          a share under the initial
public offering price. Any underwriter may allow, and such dealers may reallow,
a concession not in excess of $          a share to other underwriters or to
certain dealers. After the initial offering of the shares of common stock, the
offering price and other selling terms may from time to time be varied by the
representatives of the underwriters.

     We have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days from
the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to an aggregate of
additional shares of common stock at the public offering price listed on the
cover page of this prospectus, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The
underwriters may exercise this option solely for the purpose of covering
over-allotments, if any, made in connection with the offering of the shares of
common stock offered by this prospectus. To the extent the option is exercised,
each underwriter will become obligated, subject to certain conditions, to
purchase about the same percentage of the additional shares of common stock as
the number listed next to the underwriter's name in the preceding table bears to
the total number of shares of common stock listed next to the names of all
underwriters in the preceding table. If the underwriters' option is exercised in
full, the total price to the public would be $          , the total
underwriters' discounts and commissions would be $           and the total
proceeds to us would be $          .

     The underwriters have informed us that they do not intend sales to
discretionary accounts to exceed five percent of the total number of shares of
common stock offered by them.

     We have filed an application for our common stock to be listed, subject to
official notice of issuance, on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol
"TMTA."

     We and our directors, executive officers and substantially all of our
stockholders and holders of rights to acquire our common stock have agreed that,
without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley & Co.

                                       64
<PAGE>   68

Incorporated on behalf of the underwriters, we and they will not, during the
period ending 180 days after the date of this prospectus:

     - offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to
       purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option,
       right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of,
       directly or indirectly, any shares of common stock or any securities
       convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common stock; or

     - enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in
       whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of common
       stock,

whether any transaction described above is to be settled by delivery of common
stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.

     The restrictions described in this paragraph do not apply to:

     - the sale of shares to the underwriters;

     - transactions by any person other than us relating to shares of common
       stock or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the
       completion of the offering of the shares;

     - the transfer of shares of common stock or any security convertible into
       common stock by gift, if no filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act
       is required; and

     - the distribution of shares of common stock or any security convertible
       into common stock to limited partners, members or stockholders, if no
       filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act is required.

     In order to facilitate the offering of the common stock, the underwriters
may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the
price of the common stock. Specifically, the underwriters may over-allot in
connection with the offering, creating a short position in the common stock for
their own account. In addition, to cover over-allotments or to stabilize the
price of the common stock, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, shares of
common stock in the open market. Finally, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim
selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing the
common stock in the offering if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed
shares of common stock in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in
stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize
or maintain the market price of the common stock above independent market
levels. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may
end any of these activities at any time.

     We and the underwriters have agreed to indemnify each other against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

DIRECTED SHARE PROGRAM PROSPECTUS DISCLOSURE

     At our request, the underwriters have reserved for sale, at the initial
offering price, up to approximately                shares of common stock
offered hereby for directors, officers, employees, business associates and other
persons related to us. There can be no assurance that any of the reserved shares
will be purchased. The number of shares of common stock available for sale to
the general public will be reduced to the extent these parties purchase the
reserved shares. Any reserved shares that are not so purchased will be offered
by the underwriters to the general public on the same basis as the other shares
offered by this prospectus.

     Certain entities and individuals affiliated with Morgan Stanley & Co.
Incorporated, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and SG Cowen Securities Corporation
own 266,666, 1,425,764 and 64,566 shares of preferred stock, respectively, which
were purchased in private placements on the same terms and conditions as the
other investors in each respective private placement, including the price per
share.

PRICING OF THE OFFERING

     Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for the shares of
common stock. The initial public offering price will be determined by
negotiations between us and the representatives of the underwriters. Among the
factors to be considered in determining the initial public offering price will
be:

     - our future prospects and our industry in general;

     - sales, earnings and certain other financial and operating information in
       recent periods; and

     - the price-earnings ratios, price-sales ratios and market prices of
       securities and financial and operating information of companies engaged
       in activities similar to ours.

     The estimated initial public offering price range set forth on the cover
page of this preliminary prospectus is subject to change as a result of market
conditions and other factors.

               REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Transmeta Corporation

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Transmeta
Corporation (a development stage company) as of December 31, 1998 and 1999, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity
(deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Transmeta Corporation at December 31, 1998 and 1999, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States.

 INFORMATION AS OF JUNE 30, 2000 AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND
                               2000 IS UNAUDITED

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

THE COMPANY

     Transmeta Corporation ("Transmeta" or the "Company") develops and sells
software-based microprocessors and develops additional hardware and software
technologies that enable computer manufacturers to build computers that
simultaneously offer long battery life, high performance and x86 compatibility.

     Transmeta was incorporated in California as Transmeta Corporation on March
3, 1995, and through June 30, 2000 was in the development stage, principally
engaged in research and development, marketing, sales, raising capital,
establishing sources of supplies, starting up production and building its
management team. Through December 31, 1999, substantially all of Transmeta's
revenue was derived from technology license agreements with development
partners. In January 2000, the Company introduced its Crusoe family of
microprocessors. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were comprised
of sales of product prototypes.

FISCAL YEAR

     Transmeta changed its fiscal year-end during 1999 to end on the last Friday
in December. For ease of presentation, the accompanying financial statements
have been shown as ending on December 31 and calendar quarter ends for all
annual and quarterly financial statement captions. Fiscal years 1997, 1998 and
1999 each consisted of 52 weeks and ended on December 31. Fiscal year 2000 will
end on December 29. The first six months of fiscal 1999 ended on July 2, 1999,
and the first six months of fiscal 2000 ended on June 30, 2000.

UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The financial information at June 30, 2000 and for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 and 2000 is unaudited but includes all adjustments (consisting of
only normal recurring adjustments) that the Company considers necessary for a
fair presentation of its financial position at such date and the operating
results and cash flows for those interim periods. Results for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 2000.

USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant
estimates made in preparing the financial statements include estimates of
potentially excess and obsolete inventory after considering forecasted demand
and average selling prices and income tax valuation allowances.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial
statements of Transmeta and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

RISK FACTORS AND CONCENTRATIONS

     Transmeta is subject to various risks similar to other companies in a
comparable stage of growth, including dependence on key individuals, competition
from substitute products and larger companies, the need to obtain additional
financing, and the continued successful development and marketing of its
products.

                             TRANSMETA CORPORATION
                         (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 INFORMATION AS OF JUNE 30, 2000 AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND
                               2000 IS UNAUDITED

     Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist
primarily of cash and cash equivalents and notes receivable from certain
founders and stockholders. Substantially all of the Company's cash and
equivalents are invested in highly liquid money market funds and commercial
securities with high-quality financial institutions in the United States.
Short-term investments consist of U.S. government and commercial bonds and
notes.

     Transmeta sells its products principally to original equipment
manufacturers and their subcontract manufacturers. The Company performs ongoing
credit evaluations of its customers, maintains an allowance for potential credit
losses and does not generally require collateral.

     The Company currently relies exclusively on IBM to fabricate its wafers and
provide assembly and test services.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

     Transmeta recognizes revenue from product sales upon transfer of title,
providing for expected product returns and warranty costs at that time. The
Company defers revenue recognition on products sold to distributors until the
distributor sells such products to its customers.

     Transmeta recognizes license revenue from technology license agreements
when earned. Transmeta recognized $1.4 million, $28.0 million and $5.0 million
of license revenue in 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively, in connection with
technology license agreements (see Note 2). No license revenue was recognized
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 (unaudited).

CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

     Highly liquid debt securities with insignificant interest rate risk and
original maturities of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents.
Debt securities with maturities greater than three months and remaining
maturities less than one year are classified as short-term investments.
Transmeta's policy is to minimize principal risk by investing in high
credit-quality financial instruments and earning returns based on current
interest rates.

     All of Transmeta's marketable investments are classified as
available-for-sale as of the balance sheet date and, accordingly, are reported
at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded in stockholders' equity.
Fair values of cash and cash equivalents approximate cost due to the short
period of time to maturity. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific
identification method. Realized gains or losses and declines in value, if any,
judged to be other than temporary on available-for-sale securities are reported
in interest income or expense.

INVENTORIES

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
market. The Company did not have inventories as of December 31, 1998 and 1999.
The components of inventories as of June 30, 2000 were as follows:

</TABLE>

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation and amortization
have been provided on the straight-line method over the related asset's
estimated useful lives ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements
and assets recorded under capital leases are amortized on a straight-line basis
over the lesser of the related asset's estimated useful life or the remaining
lease term.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

     Transmeta evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected
to be generated by the asset. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed
of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to
sell.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

     Costs to develop Transmeta's products are expensed as incurred in
accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 2, "Accounting for Research and
Development Costs," which establishes accounting and reporting standards for
research and development costs.

     Transmeta accounts for software development costs in accordance with the
FASB's SFAS No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold,
Leased, or Otherwise Marketed", which requires capitalization of certain
software development costs once technological feasibility for the software
component is established and research and development activities for the
hardware component are completed. Based on Transmeta's development process the
time period between the establishment of technological feasibility and
completion of the hardware component and the release of the product is short and
capitalization of internal development costs has not been material to date.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COST

     Costs of software developed internally by us for use in our operations are
accounted for under the American Institute of Certified Public Accountant's
Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1, "Internal Use Software," which the Company
adopted on January 1, 1999. Under SOP 98-1, the Company expenses costs of
research, including pre-development efforts prior to establishing technological
feasibility, and costs incurred

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 INFORMATION AS OF JUNE 30, 2000 AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND
                               2000 IS UNAUDITED

for training and maintenance. Software development costs are capitalized when
technological feasibility has been established, it is provable that the project
will be completed and the software will be used as intended. Costs incurred
during the application development stage were insignificant and accordingly no
costs related to internal use software have been capitalized through June 30,
2000.

INCOME TAXES

     Transmeta accounts for income taxes in accordance with the FASB's SFAS No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"), which requires the use of the
liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under SFAS 109, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured based on differences between the financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates and
laws that will be in effect when differences are expected to reverse.

FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The fair values of Transmeta's cash equivalents, short-term investments,
accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable
and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the short-term
nature of those instruments.

     The fair values of short-term and long-term capital lease obligations are
estimated based on current interest rates available to Transmeta for debt
instruments with similar terms, degrees of risk and remaining maturities. The
carrying values of these obligations approximate their respective fair values.

     The fair values of long-term assets are valued on the basis of present
value calculations and are amortized over the useful life of these assets.

WARRANTY

     Transmeta typically provides a warranty that includes factory repair
services as needed for replacement parts on its products for a period of one
year from shipment. Transmeta records a provision for estimated warranty costs
upon shipment of its products. Warranty costs have been within management's
expectations to date and have not been material.

DEFERRED CHARGES UNDER LICENSE AGREEMENTS AND RELATED PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS

     Transmeta has capitalized the cost of intangibles associated with license
agreements with third-party developers (see Note 2). These intangibles are
amortized over their estimated useful lives. Payment obligations under the
license agreement with IBM are accreted using the effective interest method over
the payment period.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

     Transmeta has adopted the FASB's SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure About Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"). Transmeta operates
solely in one segment, the development, marketing and sale of platform solutions
for the mobile computing market. The Company also currently operates in one
geographic region and is evaluated by management on a single segment basis.
Therefore, there was no impact on Transmeta's consolidated financial statements
from the adoption of SFAS 131.

 INFORMATION AS OF JUNE 30, 2000 AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND

ADVERTISING EXPENSES

     All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. To date, advertising costs
have not been material.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

     Transmeta accounts for its stock options and equity awards in accordance
with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and has elected to follow the
"disclosure only" alternative prescribed by SFAS 123. Expense associated with
stock-based compensation is amortized on an accelerated basis over the vesting
period of the individual award consistent with the method described in FASB
Interpretation No. 28. Accordingly, approximately 59% of the unearned deferred
compensation is amortized in the first year, 25% in the second year, 12% in the
third year, and 4% in the fourth year following the date of grant. Pursuant to
the FASB's SFAS 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation",
Transmeta discloses the pro-forma effect of using the fair value method of
accounting for its stock-based compensation arrangements.

     Options and warrants granted to consultants and vendors are accounted for
at fair value determined by using the Black-Scholes method in accordance with
Emerging Issues Task Force consensus No. 96-18. The assumptions used to value
stock-based awards to consultants and vendors are similar to those used for
employees except that a volatility of 0.80 was used (see Note 8 for pro forma
disclosures of stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS 123.)

NET LOSS PER SHARE

     Basic and diluted net loss per share is presented in conformity with the
FASB's SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128"), for all periods
presented. Pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 98, common stock and convertible preferred stock issued or granted
for nominal consideration prior to the anticipated effective date of the
Company's initial public offering must be included in the calculation of basic
and diluted net loss per share as if they had been outstanding for all periods
presented (see Note 8).

     In accordance with SFAS 128, basic and diluted net loss per share have been
computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during each period, less shares subject to repurchase. Pro forma basic and
diluted net loss per share, as presented in the statements of operations, has
been computed as described above and also gives effect, under Securities and
Exchange Commission guidance, to the conversion of the convertible preferred
stock (using the if-converted method) from the original date of issuance.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133, as amended,
establishes methods for recording derivative financial instruments and hedging
activities related to those instruments, as well as other hedging activities.
The Company is required to adopt SFAS 133 effective January 1, 2001. Because the
Company currently does not hold any derivative instruments and does not engage
in hedging activities, the Company does not currently believe that the adoption
of SFAS 133, as amended, will have a significant impact on its financial
position or results of operations.

     In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"). SAB 101 summarizes certain areas of the
Staff's views in applying generally accepted

accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. Transmeta
believes that its current revenue recognition principles comply with SAB 101.

     In March 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") of the FASB issued
EITF Issue 00-2, "Accounting for Website Development Costs." The issue addresses
how an entity should account for costs incurred to develop a website. The total
capitalizable costs associated with the development of Transmeta's website have
been immaterial to date and have not been capitalized.

     In March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for
Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, Interpretation of APB Opinion
No. 25." Interpretation No. 44 clarifies the application of Accounting Principle
Board Opinion No. 25 to certain issues including: (i) the definition of employee
for purposes of applying APB Opinion No. 25, (ii) the criteria for determining
whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan, (iii) the accounting
consequences of various modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock
option or award, and (iv) the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation
awards in business combinations. In general, Interpretation No. 44 is effective
July 1, 2000. The Company does not expect the adoption of Interpretation No. 44
to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

2. TECHNOLOGY LICENSE AGREEMENTS

     In December 1997, Transmeta entered into a technology license agreement
with IBM Corporation ("IBM"), which was amended in 1999 as described below. The
term of the original agreement was for five years. Under the original agreement,
Transmeta granted to IBM a worldwide non-exclusive license to certain technology
developed and under development by Transmeta. In return, Transmeta received $2.0
million in cash and issued IBM a non-interest-bearing convertible promissory
note in the face amount of $600,000. The note is contingently convertible into
common stock of Transmeta upon completion of an initial public offering of
common stock or upon certain defined acquisition or merger transactions
involving the Company. In 1997, Transmeta recognized $1.4 million of revenue and
the net present value of the note was recorded as a payable to development
partner on the balance sheet and accretes interest to its maturity on December
31, 2003. The difference between the face amount and the present value of the
note was credited to additional paid-in capital. The agreement also entitled
Transmeta to earn royalties on sales by IBM of products incorporating the
licensed technology.

     During 1998, IBM made additional license payments of $8.0 million upon the
Company's meeting certain milestones. In addition, IBM agreed to perform certain
engineering and product services without charge and to provide credits against
future sales to Transmeta in connection with the agreement.

     In November 1999, the parties amended the technology license agreement. IBM
relinquished certain of the worldwide license rights previously obtained in
exchange for commitments by Transmeta. These commitments included paying a total
of $33.0 million to IBM during the period from December 15, 2001 through
December 15, 2004 and paying a total of $4.3 million for engineering and
production services ($1.4 million in 1999 and $2.9 million in 2000). Transmeta's
payments to IBM for expenses related to the engineering and production services
are expensed as incurred. In addition, the convertibility of the convertible
promissory note described above was fixed at 600,000 shares of Transmeta's
common stock upon completion of an initial public offering.

     The net present value of the $33.0 million commitment (approximately $18.9
million) has been recorded on the balance sheet as a deferred charge under
license agreement with a corresponding liability. This liability is being
accreted to its future value using the effective interest method at a rate of
approximately 15% per annum and is being recorded as part of deferred charges
under license agreements. The deferred charge under license agreement is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining initial license term.
Management assesses the realizability of the intangible asset at each balance
sheet date.

     In February 1998, Transmeta also entered into a technology license
agreement with Toshiba Corporation ("Toshiba"). Under this agreement, Transmeta
granted to Toshiba a worldwide non-exclusive license to certain technology
developed and under development by Transmeta. In return, Transmeta received
nonrefundable cash payments totaling $20.0 million and $5.0 million upon the
attainment of certain milestones in 1998 and 1999, respectively. The agreement
also entitles Transmeta to earn royalties on sales by Toshiba of products
incorporating the licensed technology. This agreement was amended in February
2000, (see Note 12).

COMMITMENTS

     As of June 30, 2000 (unaudited), the Company had non-cancelable outstanding
purchase commitments of approximately $18.4 million in connection with the
manufacturing services performed by IBM.

6. DEBT

     Transmeta opened a $3.0 million revolving line of credit with a bank during
July 1998. The line of credit bore interest at the bank's reference rate plus 2%
(7.0% at December 31, 1998), and was payable monthly and expired in July 2001.
Borrowings against this line at December 31, 1998 were $1,575,000. The line was
secured by $1,990,000 of cash held as collateral at the bank. Borrowings under
this line of credit were repaid and the line was closed in January 1999.

     In 1998 and 1999, Transmeta issued promissory notes to financing companies
in the principal amounts of $3,473,000 and $1,368,000, respectively, which
mature through January 2003. These notes bear interest at 10.5% and are secured
by certain tangible assets with net book value of approximately $1,872,000 as of
December 31, 1999. No notes were issued during the six months ended June 30,
2000 (unaudited).

     Transmeta signed a note during 1998 with a supplier in the principal amount
of $1,116,000 in connection with an equipment purchase. The note is due on the
earlier of December 30, 2000 or the closing of an initial public offering.
Interest will begin to accrue on any unpaid principal balance at the rate of 10%
per annum, starting on the date of the initial public offering. The note is
secured by the equipment financed.

     In connection with the notes issued to the financing companies and the
supplier, Transmeta issued to the note holders warrants to purchase 367,516
shares of common stock. These warrants were assigned an aggregate value of
$78,000 on the basis of Black-Scholes valuation models using the contractual
lives ranging from six to ten years and a volatility of 0.80. The value of the
warrants was recorded as a discount against the respective borrowing and is
being amortized over the respective terms of the notes. The remaining discount
on the notes of $20,000 at June 30, 2000 (unaudited) is being accreted as
additional financing (interest) expense

     Additionally, as discussed in Note 2, Transmeta issued a convertible
promissory note in the face amount of $600,000 in December 1997. The present
value of the note at June 30, 2000 (unaudited) was $411,000 and is recorded on
the balance sheet as a payable to development partner. Interest will accrete to
its maturity on December 31, 2003, or until the note is converted subsequent to
completion of an initial public offering or upon certain defined acquisition or
merger transactions.

     Transmeta's original financing was from the sale of 1,515,151 shares of
Series A preferred stock for $2.5 million in July 1995. In November 1996,
Transmeta repurchased all of the outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock
from the Series A investors for $2.7 million. The difference of $160,000 between
the repurchase price and the original amount paid by these investors has been
charged to the accumulated deficit.

     In connection with the sale of Series B preferred stock during 1995,
Transmeta sold warrants to purchase 1,081,920 shares of Series C preferred stock
with an exercise price of $2.50 per share at a purchase price of $0.001 per
warrant. These warrants were exercised in 1997, resulting in proceeds to the
Company of $2,705,000.

     Each share of Series B, C and D preferred stock is convertible at the
holder's option into two shares of common stock, and this conversion ratio is
subject to adjustment under antidilution provisions as stated in the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation. Each share of Series E and F preferred stock is
convertible at the holders' option into one share of common stock, and this
conversion ratio is subject to adjustment under antidilution provisions as
stated in the Certificate of Incorporation. Each share of preferred stock will
automatically convert into shares of common stock at the then-effective
conversion price immediately upon the closing of the sale of the Company's
common stock in a firm commitment, underwritten public offering registered under
the Securities Act of 1933 at an offering price to the public equal to or
exceeding $2.50 per share of common stock for Series B and C preferred stock,
equal to or exceeding $7.50 per share of common stock for Series D and E
preferred stock, equal to or exceeding $10.00 per share of common stock for
Series F preferred stock and resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the
Company of at least $15 million.

     The holder of each share of Series B, C, D, E and F preferred stock is
entitled to receive, when and as declared by the board of directors,
noncumulative dividends. Through June 30, 2000 (unaudited), no dividends had
been declared.

     The Series B, C, D, E and F preferred stockholders are entitled to
liquidation preferences, adjusted for any combinations, consolidations or stock
splits with respect to their shares and, in addition, an amount equal to all
declared but unpaid dividends for each share of Series B, C, D, E and F
preferred stock then held. After payment of these liquidation preferences, any
remaining assets would be distributed to the holders of common stock and Series
B, C, D, E and F preferred stock on a pro rata basis as if the Series B, C, D, E
and F preferred stock were converted into common stock at the then applicable
conversion price for each respective series of preferred stock until the holders
of the preferred stock received an aggregate amount equal to $3.50, $5.303,
$10.606, $12.7272, and $21.2121, respectively, per share (plus an amount equal
to all declared but unpaid dividends on the preferred stock).

     The holders of preferred shares are entitled to the number of votes that
they would have upon conversion of their preferred shares into common shares.

     In April 2000, Transmeta sold Series G preferred stock, (see Note 12).

</TABLE>

     All warrants have been valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model based
on the assumptions used for stock based awards to employees (see Note 8) except
that a volatility of 0.80 was used. Assigned value of $78,000 and $17,000
associated with these warrant issuances were recorded as additional paid-in
capital in 1998 and 1999, respectively and is being amortized as interest
expense over the term of the lease and bank agreements. Costs associated with
earlier periods were immaterial.

     In connection with consulting services the Company issued warrants to
purchase 4,000 and 25,000 shares in January and February 2000, respectively
(unaudited). The warrants expire in January and February 2005, respectively, and
have exercise prices of $10.00 per share. The aggregate assigned value of
$30,000 associated with the warrants issued in January 2000 was computed using
the Black-Scholes valuation model and was amortized over the period the services
were rendered.

     The fair value of the warrants issued in February 2000 to purchase 25,000
shares will be computed as the warrants vest upon achieving certain performance
milestones and accordingly no value was assigned upon issuance of these
warrants.

COMMON STOCK

     At the inception of the Company, certain founders, employees, directors and
consultants purchased ten million shares of the Company's common stock.
Transmeta has not paid dividends with respect to the common stock. The holders
of common stock are entitled to liquidation preferences on a pro rata basis with
the preferred stockholders after the preferred stockholders have received their
preferential amounts.

     Transmeta's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company must at
all times reserve a number of shares of its common stock that would be
sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock
as well as exercises of the warrants and employee and consultant options granted
under the stock option plans. Shares reserved for future issuance and are as

     Transmeta's equity incentive plans permit option holders to exercise stock
options before they are vested, subject to certain limitations. Common stock
issued in connection with these exercises is subject to repurchase at the
exercise price until vesting occurs. Notes issued to employees to exercise stock
options bear interest at rates ranging from 4.47% to 6.69% and have terms
extending to five years. All such notes are full recourse and are recorded as a
reduction of stockholders' equity when issued.

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

STOCK OPTION PLANS

     Transmeta has two stock option plans: the 1995 Equity Incentive Plan and
the 1997 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plans") were adopted on September 5, 1995
and July 11, 1997, respectively. The Plans provide for the grant to employees of
incentive stock options ("ISOs") and the grant to employees, directors and
consultants of nonstatutory stock options. As of June 30, 2000 (unaudited), the
maximum number of common shares available under the Plans was 13.0 million.

     Options granted under the Plans may be designated as "ISO" or "nonstatutory
stock options" at the discretion of Transmeta, with exercise prices not less
than the fair market value at the date of grant. Options generally vest 25% on
the first anniversary of the vesting start date and then monthly over the next
three years. Options expire ten years from the grant date.

NON-PLAN GRANTS

     Transmeta has from time to time granted options outside of the Plans
("non-plan stock options"). There were non-plan stock options for an aggregate
of 485,000, 1,735,000 and 3,610,000 shares of common stock authorized and
granted as of December 31, 1998 and 1999 and June 30, 2000 (unaudited),
respectively.

ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

     The Company has elected to follow APB Opinion No. 25 and related
interpretations in accounting for its employee and director stock-based awards
because, as discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for
under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires use of
option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee
stock-based awards. Under APB Opinion No. 25, the Company generally recognizes
no compensation expense with respect to awards if the exercise price equals or
exceeds the fair value of the underlying security on the date of grant and other
terms are fixed.

     The fair value for these awards was estimated at the date of grant using an
option pricing model. Option pricing models were developed for use in estimating
the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option pricing models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions, including expected stock price volatility. Because the
Company's stock-based awards have characteristics significantly different from
those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions
can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the
existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair
value of its stock-based awards. The fair value of options granted was
determined using the minimum value method and the following weighted average
assumptions:

9. INCOME TAXES

     In 1998 and 1999, the Company recorded tax provisions of $2.0 million and
$500,000, respectively, relating to foreign taxes withheld on license revenue.
No tax provision was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2000
(unaudited). The Company has incurred operating losses in all periods that have
not been tax benefited.

     Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards and temporary differences between the carrying amount of
assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for
income tax purposes, and consist of:

</TABLE>

     Based upon the weight of available evidence, which includes the Company's
historical operating performance, the Company has always provided a full
valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as it is not more likely
than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The valuation allowance
increased by $3.0 million and $13.3 million during 1998 and 1999, respectively.

     The federal operating loss and tax credit carryforwards listed above will
expire between 2010 and 2019, if not previously utilized. The state operating
loss and tax credit carryforwards will expire beginning in 2003, if not
previously utilized. Because of certain ownership change rules under federal and
state tax rules, approximately $5.0 million of the December 31, 1999
tax-effected amounts of federal and state operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards listed above are not immediately available to offset future tax
liabilities. These amounts will be available through 2002. The Company's planned
initial public offering should not result in further limitations on the use of
tax carryforwards.

10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

     Transmeta has an Employee Savings and Retirement Plan (the "Benefit Plan")
under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code for its eligible employees.
The Benefit Plan is available to all of Transmeta's employees who meet minimum
age requirements, and provides employees with tax deferred salary deductions and
alternative investment options. Employees may contribute up to 15% of their
eligible earnings, subject to certain limitations. There are no matching
contributions by the Company under the Benefit Plan.

REINCORPORATION

     Effective                , Transmeta reincorporated as a Delaware
corporation. Share capital information for all periods has been retroactively
adjusted to reflect the par value of common and preferred stock and amounts of
paid-in-capital.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)

REGISTRATION STATEMENT

     On August 14, 2000, the board of directors authorized the Company to file a
registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for an
initial public offering ("IPO") of its common stock.

     If the offering is consummated under the terms presently anticipated, all
of the convertible preferred stock outstanding as of June 30, 2000 will convert
to 36,587,171 shares of common stock upon the closing of the IPO. The effect of
this conversion has been reflected as unaudited pro forma stockholders' equity
in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2000.

TOSHIBA TECHNOLOGY LICENSE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT

     On February 27, 2000, Transmeta and Toshiba amended their technology
license agreement. Toshiba relinquished certain of the worldwide license rights
previously obtained from Transmeta in exchange for 600,000 shares of Transmeta
common stock. The value of the stock, $6,750,000, has been recorded on the
balance sheet as a deferred charge under license agreement and is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining initial license term of
three years.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION

     Transmeta has recorded deferred stock compensation charges of $17,948,000
during the six months ended June 30, 2000, representing the aggregate difference
between the exercise prices of the options and the deemed fair values of common
stock subject to the options as of the respective measurement dates. These
amounts are being amortized by charges to operations, using the graded vesting
method, over the four year vesting periods of the individual stock options.
During the six month period ended June 30, 2000, the Company recorded $3,140,000
of amortization expense related to deferred stock compensation.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     Certain founders of Transmeta received loans from the Company in May 2000.
The notes received as consideration for these loans, aggregating $5,250,000, are
non-recourse and are secured by a total of 525,000 shares of common stock, the
shares held by the founders were originally issued and vested in 1995. The notes
accrete interest, compounded annually, at 6.4% and are due in May 2005.

NONCUMULATIVE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

     Transmeta sold shares of series G preferred stock subsequent to December

     Each share of Series G preferred stock is convertible at the holder's
option into one share of common stock, and this conversion ratio is subject to
adjustment under antidilution provisions as stated in the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation. Each share of preferred stock will automatically convert into
a share of common stock at the then-effective conversion price immediately upon
the closing of the sale of the Company's common stock in a firm commitment,

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to
award, or a corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors
and officers under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations. The
terms of Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law are sufficiently
broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities,
including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the "Securities Act").

     As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant's
certificate of incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal
liability of a director for monetary damages resulting from breach of his
fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:

     - for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its
       stockholders;

     - for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional
       misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

     - under section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law regarding
       unlawful dividends and stock purchases; or

     - for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
       benefit.

     As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant's
bylaws provide that:

     - the Registrant is required to indemnify its directors and officers to the
       fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject
       to limited exceptions where indemnification is not permitted by
       applicable law;

     - the Registrant is required to advance expenses, as incurred, to its
       directors and officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the
       fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject
       to certain very limited exceptions; and

     - the rights conferred in the bylaws are not exclusive.

     In addition, the Registrant intends to enter into indemnity agreements with
each of its current directors and officers. These agreements will provide for
the indemnification of the Registrant's officers and directors for

                                      II-1
<PAGE>   99

all expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any action or
proceeding brought against them by reason of the fact that they are or were
agents of the Registrant.

     The Registrant intends to obtain directors' and officers' insurance to
cover its directors, officers and some of its employees for certain liabilities,
including public securities matters.

     Reference is also made to Section 9 of the Underwriting Agreement (Exhibit
1.01 hereto), which provides for indemnification by the Underwriters of the
Registrant and its executive officers and directors for certain liabilities,
including liabilities arising under the Securities Act, in connection with
matters specifically provided in writing by the Underwriters for inclusion in
the Registration Statement.

     See also the undertakings set out in response to Item 17.

     Reference is made to the following documents filed as exhibits to this
Registration Statement regarding relevant indemnification provisions described
above and elsewhere herein:

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

     (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the
underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates
in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the
underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

     (b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions described under "Item
14 -- Indemnification of Directors and Officers" above, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     (c) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

          (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of
     this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
     form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
     (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
     Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.

          (2) For the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall
     be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
     offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
     deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
