PART I
When used in the following report, the words "projects", "expects",
"intends" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Actual results (including
the amount of any liquidating distribution to shareholders) could differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of
the risk factors set forth below and elsewhere in this Form 10-K. A number of
factors may impact the outcome of actual results, but in particular, (a) the
outcome of pending claims filed with the Bankruptcy Court by certain creditors
of the Company (b) whether the Company is successful in selling the remainder of
its assets and technology (c) whether any claims arise against the Company of
which the Company is not currently aware and (d) the costs associated with
winding up the affairs of the Company.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
General
Weitek Corporation (the "Company") specializes in semiconductor technology
to enhance the performance and value of industry-standard computers and
software. Weitek was founded in 1981, and has its headquarters in San Jose,
California.
The Company has historically relied upon its floating-point technology,
graphics expertise and systems design expertise to develop standard numeric
processing architectures providing cost-effective performance in the form of
coprocessors, RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) processors and graphics
processors for supercomputer and workstation manufacturers. In recent years, the
Company has used its graphics technology to develop user interface processors to
accelerate the performance of personal computers.
During 1995, the Company focused its R&D efforts on the development of a
new product line of unified memory architecture (UMA) chip sets targeted at the
mid-range segment of the user interface market. The Company's UMA technology
combines the features of an accelerated graphics controller with those of
motherboard system logic, integrating most of the circuitry for a personal
computer (except the processor and memory) into a single product.
On March 1, 1996, the Company announced that its revenues had continued to
decline significantly due to changes in the personal computer marketplace which
caused customers to delay purchases of its initial UMA product, the W464. As a
result, the Company recorded reserves to reflect a revaluation of W464 chip set
inventory and a company-wide cost reduction program. In addition, a decline in
memory prices and increased competition for chip sets made it unlikely that the
Company could successfully commercialize its next generation W564 UMA chip set.
As a result of these factors, the Company announced that it no longer had
sufficient resources to independently pursue a business strategy of
manufacturing UMA chip sets and would instead focus on licensing its technology
and pursuing other alternatives ranging from selling the Company, to strategic
relationships with companies that could successfully develop products based on
its UMA technology, to winding up the affairs of the Company.
On December 11, 1996 the Company filed a voluntary plan of reorganization
(the "Plan") under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the United States
Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of California, San Jose Division (the
"Bankruptcy Court"). The Company filed the Plan in connection with the signing
of an asset purchase agreement (the "Rockwell Agreement") with Rockwell
Semiconductor Systems, Inc. ("Rockwell"). Under the terms of the Rockwell
Agreement, Rockwell agreed to pay approximately $3,124,000 to acquire certain of
the Company's assets and a non-exclusive license to certain of the Company's
technology. While awaiting approval of the Plan by the Bankruptcy Court, the
Company provided contract engineering services to Rockwell and received
permission from the Bankruptcy Court to permit Rockwell to use the Company's San
Jose, California design facilities and hire the Company's engineers and other
employees sought by Rockwell. The Plan, which includes the Rockwell Agreement as
well as the disposition of all other remaining assets and technology of the
Company, was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on March 20, 1997. On April 1,
1997 the Rockwell Agreement became effective and the Company completed the sale
of assets to Rockwell. Pursuant to the approved Plan, the Company intends to
sell all other remaining assets and technology of the Company and to wind up its
affairs in the first half of 1997.

<PAGE> 3
Given the change in the Company's business strategy outlined above, the
following description of the Company's historical business operations is not
indicative of what its future operations will be. The Company intends to sell
all remaining assets and technology and does not intend to continue as a going
concern. The Company intends to complete the windup of its affairs in the first
half of 1997. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations" and Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Sales and Technical Support
The Company has sold its products and provided technical support to leading
domestic manufacturers through its direct sales force headquartered in the
Company's principal offices in San Jose, California. The Company has utilized a
national distributor, Bell Microproducts, to supplement its direct sales force
in the United States and has also used a number of sales representatives to
augment its distributor and direct sales efforts. Distributors have been granted
limited product return rights which were typical in the industry. In 1996 the
Company transitioned to a business strategy which included an increased emphasis
on licensing technology and providing engineering services as a means to
generate revenue.
International sales have been managed by the Company's sales
representatives and conducted through distributors located primarily in Europe,
Japan and Taiwan. International sales represented 10% of net revenue in 1996,
39% of net revenue in 1995 and 25% of net revenue in 1994. International sales
are generally denominated in U.S. dollars and are subject to risks common to
export activities, including governmental regulation and trade barriers.
Substantially all of the Company's international sales must be licensed by the
Office of Export Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The Company
has not experienced any material difficulties in obtaining export licenses.
Sales to SGS Thompson Microelectronics, Inc. accounted for 57% of net
revenue in 1996. Ryoyo, a Japanese distributor, accounted for 10% and 24% of net
revenue in 1996 and 1995, respectively. Siemens represented 19% of the Company's
net revenue in 1995. Sales to Diamond Multimedia Systems represented 12%, and
22% of net revenue in 1995 and 1994, respectively. No other customer represented
10% or more of the Company's net revenue during these periods.
Backlog
As of December 31, 1996, the Company had no orders for any of its products.
Manufacturing Strategy
The Company previously announced that it no longer had sufficient resources
to independently pursue a strategy of manufacturing chip sets. The Company
ceased manufacturing chipsets and other products in February 1996. The Company
no longer manufactures chip sets or any other product.
Research and Development
Research and development expenditures were 31% of net revenue in 1996, 42%
of net revenue in 1995, and 34% of net revenue in 1994. Expenditures for
research and development in 1996, 1995 and 1994 were approximately $2.5 million,
$7.3 million and $9.6 million, respectively. As of April 1, 1997, the Company
had no full-time employees engaged in research and development activities.
Competition
The Company intends to sell all remaining assets and technology and does
not intend to continue as a going concern. The Company does not believe that
competition is a factor in carrying out this strategy.
3
<PAGE> 4
Patents and Licenses
The Company has been issued patents in the United States and Japan. In
addition, the Company has registered maskworks with the United States Copyright
office and with the Industrial Property Rights Cooperation Center in Japan. The
Company believes that these patents and maskwork registrations may have value
and is currently in the process of identifying buyers for certain of these
patents and maskwork registrations. Any sale of patents or maskwork
registrations will be made only with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, as
will the sale of any other of the Company's remaining assets. However, the
amount which may be realized, if any, from the sale of these patents and
maskwork registrations can not be determined.
The Company attempts to protect its trade secrets and other proprietary
information through agreements with customers and suppliers, proprietary
information agreements with employees and consultants and other security
measures.
Employees
As of December 31, 1996 the Company had approximately 27 employees of whom
20 were subsequently employed by Rockwell pursuant to the Rockwell Agreement.
All remaining employees were terminated by April 1, 1997. Under the Plan,
Richard H. Bohnet is designated as the "Responsible Person" to carry out the
winding up of the Company's affairs.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
The Company's executive offices occupy 40,000 square feet of a leased
facility in San Jose, California under a lease which expires in 2001. This lease
was assigned to Rockwell on April 1, 1997 pursuant to the Rockwell Agreement.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
In December 1995, the Company received a demand letter from an attorney
representing a former employee of the Company. This former employee claims an
uninsured disability loss of $691,200 resulting from her reliance on statements
allegedly made by the Company in connection with a company-wide
reduction-in-force. This claim has been submitted to the Bankruptcy Court. The
Company has reviewed this claim and believes that it is without merit and will
not have a material effect on the results of operations or financial condition.
However, litigation claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and thus there
can be no assurance that this matter will ultimately be resolved in favor of the
Company or that such matter will not result in a significant liability to the
Company.
On December 11, 1996, the Company filed a voluntary petition and a plan
of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the
Bankruptcy Court. This filing was pursuant to and a condition of the Rockwell
Agreement. On March 20, 1997, the Bankruptcy Court approved the plan of
reorganization.
There are no other legal proceedings against the Company of which the
Company is aware.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
No matters were submitted to security holders of the Company during the
last fiscal quarter of 1996. By February 14, 1997 a ballot was mailed to all
security holders of the Company, as well as certain of the Company's creditors,
soliciting their vote on or before March 11, 1997 to accept or reject the Plan.
Accompanying the ballot was a Disclosure Statement approved by the Bankruptcy
Court, the Plan and the Rockwell Agreement. The affirmative vote of more than
two-thirds of the holders of outstanding equity security interest was received
which was sufficient to accept the Plan.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.
During its 1996 fiscal year, the Company substantially changed its
business strategy. The Company is in the process of winding up its affairs and
does not intend to continue its operations. The following discussion should be
read in conjunction with the "OUTLOOK: ISSUES AND RISKS" section at the end of
this discussion and with Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
RESULTS OF DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Net Revenue. Net revenue decreased by 55% to $8.0 million in 1996 compared to
$17.6 million in 1995, which represented a 38% decrease from 1994 net revenue of
$28.5 million. The decrease in net revenue in 1996 was due to an overall
decrease in demand for the Company's products. Net revenue in 1996 was derived
primarily from technology licensing contracts.
Gross Margin. Gross margin was 20% of net revenue in 1996, compared to 39% in
1995, and 28% in 1994. 1996 margins include additional inventory reserves and
adjustments of $1.9 million offset by a favorable settlement of outstanding
balances with a major vendor of $.7 million in the fourth quarter. Also in the
fourth quarter of 1996 the Company eliminated accrued liabilities of $0.4
million which were no longer required as a result of the Company's decision not
to continue as a going concern. 1994 margins include additional inventory
reserves of $2.8 million and restructuring charges of $0.2 million recorded in
the fourth quarter. The fourth quarter of 1994 was also impacted by a
manufacturing yield problem which reduced margins by approximately $1.1 million.
The Company's gross margin percentage has been highly dependent on product mix,
as the Company's user interface products typically carried gross margin
percentages lower than the Company's mature workstation products.
Expenses. Operating expenses were 58% of net revenue in 1996, a decrease from
66% in 1995 and from 67% in 1994. In absolute dollar amounts, operating expenses
decreased to $4.6 million in 1996 from $11.6 million in 1995 and $19.1 million
in 1994, reflecting lower staffing levels and tighter spending controls. 1996
operating expenses included approximately $0.4 million in severance benefits. In
the fourth quarter of 1996 the Company eliminated accrued liabilities of $3.3
million which were no longer required upon the Company's decision not to
continue as a going concern. 1994 operating expenses included approximately $0.6
million of restructuring charges for a corporate downsizing, impacting primarily
sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses.
Research and development expenses as a percentage of net revenue were 31%
in 1996, a decrease from 42% in 1995 and 34% in 1994. Expenditures in absolute
dollars decreased to $2.5 million in 1996 from $7.3 million in 1995 and from
$9.6 million in 1994, reflecting cost savings from a consolidation of
development activities. As of April 1, 1997, no employees were involved in
research and development activities.
Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of net revenue were 4% in
1996, compared to 16% in 1995 and 26% in 1994. Expenditures in absolute dollars
declined to $0.3 million in 1996 from $2.8 million in 1995 and $7.3 million in
1994. The decline in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to lower
staffing levels and a decrease in advertising and promotional expenditures.
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue were
22% in 1996, compared to 8% in 1995 and 7% in 1994. Expenditures in absolute
dollars were $1.8 million in 1996 and $1.4 million in 1995, a decrease from $2.1
million in 1994. The increase in 1996 from 1995 expenses was primarily due to a
charge of $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 1996 for estimated losses to be
incurred on the expected sale of furniture and equipment. The decrease in 1995
from 1994 expenses was primarily due to lower staffing levels.
Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income as a percentage of net
revenue was 3% in 1996, compared to 2% in 1995 and 1% in 1994. In absolute
dollars, interest and other income decreased to $0.2 million in 1996, compared
to $0.4 million in 1995 and $0.4 million in 1994.

<PAGE> 7
Income Taxes. The Company recorded no tax benefit for 1996, 1995 and 1994. The
Company has exhausted its ability to carry back losses against prior years'
income; however, the Company has the ability to carry forward certain tax
attributes to offset future regular federal and state income taxes payable. A
valuation allowance has been provided for such benefits which are unlikely to be
utilized. In the event of a change in control as defined by the Internal Revenue
Code, the Company's utilization of its net operating loss carryforwards and tax
credits is subject to substantial annual limitations.
Net Income During Phase-Out Period. In the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company
decided to discontinue all its operations. Restructuring charges related to
employee salary and severance costs, legal and other costs associated with
bankruptcy proceedings, and the windup of the Company's affairs were estimated
to be approximately $1.5 million. These costs to be incurred were more than
offset by restructuring revenue consisting of the proceeds of the Rockwell
Agreement of $3.1 million and other technology licensing revenue and thus, will
be recorded when realized (see Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.)
Net Loss. The Company generated a net loss of $2.8 million in 1996 compared to a
net loss of $4.3 million in 1995 and a net loss of $10.6 million in 1994. As a
percentage of net revenue, the 1996 net loss was 35%, compared to 24% in 1995
and 37% in 1994. Approximately $1.9 million of additional inventory reserves,
$0.4 million of severance costs and $0.3 million of fixed asset valuation
reserves were included in the net loss in 1996. In 1994, approximately $3.6
million of additional inventory reserves and restructuring charges were included
in the net loss.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OF DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
At December 31, 1996, the Company's cash balance was $2.9 million and
working capital was $2.9 million. In 1996, cash and cash equivalents, and
working capital declined by $3.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively,
primarily due to the net loss from discontinued operations. Capital expenditures
were $0.4 million in 1996 and were mainly for design automation tools and
engineering workstations. The Company has suffered recurring losses from
operations and has an accumulated deficit. At December 31, 1996, the Company had
no available credit facilities.
OUTLOOK: ISSUES AND RISKS
On December 11, 1996 the Company filed a voluntary plan of reorganization
(the "Plan") under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the Bankruptcy
Court. The Company filed the Plan in connection with the signing of the Rockwell
Agreement with Rockwell. Under the terms of the Rockwell Agreement, Rockwell
agreed to pay approximately $3 million to acquire certain of the Company's
assets and a non-exclusive license to certain of the Company's technology. While
awaiting approval of the Plan by the Bankruptcy Court, the Company provided
contract engineering services to Rockwell and received permission from the
Bankruptcy Court to permit Rockwell to use the Company's San Jose, California
design facilities and hire the Company's engineers and other employees sought by
Rockwell. The Plan, which includes the Rockwell Agreement as well as the
disposition of all other remaining assets and technology of the Company, was
approved by the Bankruptcy Court on March 20, 1997. On April 1, 1997 the
Rockwell Agreement became effective and the Company completed the sale of assets
to Rockwell. Pursuant to the approved Plan, the Company intends to sell all
other remaining assets and technology of the Company and to wind up its affairs
in the first half of 1997.
As announced on January 24, 1997, based upon the proceeds received by the
Company under the Rockwell Agreement, other asset sales, as well as the possible
receipt of other anticipated revenue and after satisfaction of known claims, the
Company expects to make a liquidating distribution to its shareholders estimated
to be between $0.40 and $0.60 per share. The amount of the liquidating
distribution will depend on several factors including, but not limited to (i)
the number of successful claims asserted by creditors against the Company in the
bankruptcy proceedings, (ii) the amount, if any, received by the Company from
the sale of remaining assets and technology, (iii) costs associated with winding
up the affairs of the Company and (iv) the time required to wind up the affairs
of the Company. The liquidating distribution is expected to take place in the
first half of 1997.

<PAGE> 8
Actual results may differ materially from those described herein. Factors
which may cause such results (including the amount of any liquidating
distribution to shareholders) to differ include, but are not limited to the
following: (i) there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
locating buyers for the remaining assets, or will collect other anticipated
revenue or amounts due to the Company (ii) the outcome of pending claims filed
with the Bankruptcy Court by certain creditors of the Company (iii) additional
claims of which the Company is not currently aware and which the Company may
have to satisfy prior to any liquidating distribution to shareholders and (iv)
the costs associated with winding up the affairs of the Company.

Compliance With Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a
registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of
ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Form 4 or Form 5 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Such officers, directors and
ten-percent shareholders are also required by SEC rules to furnish the Company
with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it,
the Company believes that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, all
Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and
ten-percent shareholders were complied with.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS OF WEITEK CORPORATION:
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of discontinued
operations and the related consolidated statements of discontinued operations,
shareholders' equity and cash flows of discontinued operations present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Weitek Corporation and its
subsidiary at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which 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,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.
As discussed in Note 2, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement
with Rockwell Semiconductor Systems, Inc. for the sale of certain of its assets,
rights and interests and a non-exclusive license to certain of its technology.
In connection with the agreement, the Company filed a voluntary plan of
reorganization to sell all of its assets and technology rights under Chapter 11
of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in December 1996. This plan was approved by its
shareholders and the Bankruptcy Court in March 1997. As discussed in Notes 3 and
10, the accompanying financial statements include management's best estimates of
net realizable value of assets held for sale and claims currently pending
against the Company.

WEITEK CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
Weitek Corporation ("Weitek" or the "Company") specializes in semiconductor
technology to enhance the performance and value of industry standard computers
and software. Weitek was founded in 1981, and has its headquarters in San Jose,
California.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying financial
statements are prepared on the basis that the Company's operations have been
discontinued (see Note 2).
The Company operates on a calendar year; however, the first three fiscal
quarters end on the Saturday closest to the calendar quarter end. For ease of
presentation, interim periods are identified as ending on a calendar quarter
end.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reported period. Management estimated the amounts expected to be realized on
the assets to be sold, and the settlement of all liabilities at December 31,
1996. To the extent that a resulting net gain during the phase out period has
been estimated, such amounts are recognized when they are realized (see Note 2).
The amounts that the Company will ultimately realize could differ materially in
the near term from the amounts assumed in arriving at the gain on the disposal
of the discontinued operations.
NOTE 2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:
During December 1996, the Company decided to discontinue all its operations when
it entered into an asset purchase agreement ("Agreement") with Rockwell
Semiconductor Systems, Inc. ("Rockwell").The agreement provides that Rockwell
acquire certain Weitek assets, rights and interests, and a non-exclusive license
to certain Weitek technology for approximately $3,124,000 subject to adjustments
as defined. In connection with the Agreement, Weitek filed a voluntary plan of
reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code ("Plan") (see Note
10). The Plan includes the Rockwell Agreement and provides for the disposition
of all other remaining assets and technology of the Company. The Plan was
approved by the Company's shareholders and the Bankruptcy Court ("Court") in
March 1997.
Prior to Court approval of the Plan, the Company obtained Court approval for
Rockwell to extend employment offers to Weitek employees. In addition, the Court
approved a petition to allow Rockwell personnel interim access to and use of
Weitek facilities and certain Weitek assets for $85,000 per month for the period
from January 1, 1997 through March 31, 1997. Further, the Company was granted
approval to enter into a license agreement with Rockwell for certain Weitek
technology.

WEITEK CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
As of December 31, 1996, management estimated that expected recoveries from the
sale of assets to Rockwell and others would amount to approximately $3,505,000,
which exceeded all costs expected to be incurred as a direct result of the
discontinuance of the Company's operations. These costs to be incurred as a
direct result of the discontinuance of the Company's operations consist of the
following (in thousands):

NOTE 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition.
Product Sales. Revenue from product sales was recognized upon shipment to the
final customer, except in the case of foreign distributors. The Company granted
foreign distributors limited rights to return products and recorded reserves to
cover this right of return at the time of sale.
Development contracts.
The Company generally used the percentage-of-completion method to account for
development contracts. Under the percentage-of-completion method, contract
revenues were recognized based on the estimated percentage of contract
performance completed. Anticipated losses on contracts, if any, were charged to
operations when identified.
Licenses.
Revenue resulting from the licensing of the Company's products and designs was
recognized when the related contractual obligations had been fulfilled and fees
were billable.
Significant Customers.
Sales to SGS Thompson Microelectronics, Inc. accounted for 57% of net revenue in
1996. Ryoyo, a Japanese distributor, accounted for 10% and 24% of net revenue in
1996 and 1995, respectively. Siemens represented 19% of the Company's net
revenue in 1995. Sales to Diamond Multimedia Systems represented 12%, and 22% of
net revenue in 1995 and 1994, respectively. No other customer represented 10% or
more of the Company's net revenue during these periods.
Export sales.
International sales had been managed by the Company's sales representatives and
conducted through distributors located primarily in Europe, Japan and Taiwan.
International sales represented 10% of net revenue in 1996, 39% of net revenue
in 1995 and 25% of net revenue in 1994. International sales are generally
denominated in U.S. dollars.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of U.S. treasury
bills, all maturing within three months of their date of purchase.
Concentration of Credit Risk. Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of
cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and
cash equivalents with high-credit-quality institutions and, by policy, limits
the amount of credit exposure to any one institution. The Company performs
credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition but generally requires
no collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses, and
all such losses to date have been within management's expectations.
Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost (which
approximates actual cost determined by the first-in, first-out method) or
market.
21
<PAGE> 22
WEITEK CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
Assets Held For Sale. Assets held for sale are stated at the lower of cost
or management's best estimate of net realizable value.
Equipment and Leasehold Improvements. Equipment and leasehold improvements
are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the
straight-line method based on useful lives of three to five years. Amortization
of leasehold improvements is based on the shorter of the useful life or the
lease term.
Stock-Based Compensation. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation
using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". The Company provides
additional pro forma disclosures as required under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123 (FAS 123), " Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" (see Note 6).
Income (Loss) Per Share From Discontinued Operations. Income (loss) per
share from discontinued operations is computed using the weighted average number
of common shares, excluding common equivalent shares that have an anti-dilutive
effect.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In February 1997, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 128 ("FAS 128"), "Earnings per Share". FAS 128 requires the disclosure of
basic and diluted earnings per share data and is effective for fiscal years
ending after December 15, 1997. The adoption of FAS 128 has no effect on
earnings per share data for 1996, 1995 and 1994 as the Company incurred net
losses during these periods.

NOTE 6. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:
Common Stock. In August 1990, the Company began a stock repurchase program
whereby up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock may be purchased on the open
market. As of December 31, 1996, approximately 808,000 shares in the aggregate
amount of $5,948,000 had been repurchased and retired. There were no share
repurchases in 1996, 1995 and 1994.
Common Stock Option Plans. Under the 1991 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the
"Option Plan"), incentive stock options to purchase common stock have been
granted to eligible employees at prices that are not less than the fair value of
the related shares on the date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors
or its committee. Options are immediately exercisable and shares issued upon
exercise generally vest ratably each month over periods of one to five years
from the date of grant. The following summarizes activity under the Option Plan:

Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(the "Purchase Plan") and has reserved 1,000,000 shares of common stock for
issuance pursuant thereto. The Purchase Plan permits eligible employees to
purchase shares at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value at
the beginning or end of each six-month offering period. In 1995, approximately
158,000 shares had been issued under the Purchase Plan at a weighted average
price of $2.02 per share. There were no shares issued in 1996.
Fair Value Disclosures
Had compensation cost for the 1996 and 1995 activity of the Company's stock
option and stock purchase plans been determined based on the fair value of such
instruments at their grant dates, as prescribed in FAS 123, the effect on the
Company's net loss from discontinued operations for 1996 and 1995 would have
been immaterial, due to estimated option and purchase right cancellations.
The fair value of each option or purchase right grant is estimated on the date
of the grant using the Black Scholes model with the following assumptions:

NOTE 7. DEVELOPMENT CONTRACTS AND LICENSING INCOME:
Development Contracts. The Company had entered into certain development
contracts primarily to provide customers with rights to desired technology. All
expenses incurred in connection with such contracts have been included in cost
of revenue. Other contracts were intended to provide only partial reimbursement
for the Company's own development efforts. For these contracts, customer
reimbursements were included in net revenue and expenses and were classified as
cost of revenue to the extent of such revenue, with any additional amount of
expenses classified as research and development.
Net revenue and cost of revenue related to development contracts
were as follows:

NOTE 8. RESTRUCTURING OF OPERATIONS
In 1994, the Company initiated a downsizing and cost reduction program.
Restructuring charges of $778,000 were recorded in connection with this cost
reduction program, which consisted primarily of severance benefits for
terminated employees. During 1995, the Company used substantially all of its
restructuring accrual to cover related restructuring liabilities. During, 1996,
the Company reduced its work force by approximately 80%, primarily in the sales
and marketing, general and administration and production areas. The Company paid
termination expenses of approximately $410,000 related to this work force
reduction. On December 11, 1996 the Company filed a voluntary plan of
reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (see Note 2).
In the fourth quarter of 1996 the Company recorded a favorable settlement of
a purchase commitment with a major vendor and eliminated certain accrued
liabilities which were no longer required upon the Company's decision not to
continue as a going concern.
NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES:
The Company's deferred tax asset is comprised of the following:

</TABLE>
As of December 31, 1996, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $18 million and $20 million for federal and state tax reporting
purposes, respectively. The Company's tax carryforwards expire in 1997 through
2010. Management has recorded a full valuation allowance against deferred tax
assets on the basis that significant uncertainty exists regarding the
realizability of these assets. In the event of a change in control as defined by
the Internal Revenue Code, the Company's utilization of its net operating loss
carryforwards is subject to substantial annual limitations.
The benefit of income taxes reconciles to the amount computed by applying the
federal statutory rate to loss from discontinued operations before income taxes
as follows:

NOTE 10. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS:
In December 1995, the Company received a demand letter from an attorney
representing a former employee of the Company. This former employee claims an
uninsured disability loss of $691,000 resulting from her reliance on statements
allegedly made by the Company in connection with a company-wide
reduction-in-force. This claim has been submitted to the Bankruptcy Court. The
Company has reviewed this claim and believes that it is without merit and will
not have a material effect on the results of operations. However, litigation
claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and thus there can be no assurance
that this matter will ultimately be resolved in favor of the Company or that
such matter will not result in a significant liability to the Company.
On December 11, 1996, the Company filed a voluntary petition and a plan of
reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. This filing was
pursuant to and a condition of the Rockwell Agreement. On March 20, 1997, the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved the plan of reorganization. The Rockwell
Agreement became effective on April 1, 1997 (see Note 2).
