ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Pinnacle Systems, Inc. designs, manufactures, markets and supports
video post-production tools for high quality real time video processing. The
Company's products combine computer based and specialized video processing
technologies which perform a variety of video post production functions such as
the addition of special effects, graphics and titles to multiple streams of live
or previously recorded video material. The Company has sold over 10,000
post-production systems since the company's inception in 1986 to customers in
more than 60 countries. In 1994 the Company introduced Alladin, its first
PC-based product that connected directly to an external computer and offered
real-time video manipulation and special effects capabilities with performance
comparable to traditional video products but at a substantially lower price. The
Company has since introduced additional video products which address needs in
the Broadcast, Desktop and Consumer video post production markets.
To further Pinnacle's strategy of providing an expanded line of easy to
use computer based video production products, in July 1997, the Company signed a
letter of intent to acquire the miro Digital Video Products from miro Computer
Products AG. In the anticipated acquisition, the Company will acquire the assets
of the miro Digital Video Products group, including the miroVIDEO and miroMOTION
product lines, certain technology and other assets. The Company expects to pay
approximately $15 million in cash, $5 million in common stock, assume
liabilities of between $2 million and $3 million, and incur approximately $2
million in costs associated with executing the transaction and integrating the
businesses. The Company anticipates that a significant portion of the purchase
price will be charged as in-process research and development and other
non-recurring costs in the quarter ending September 30, 1997. The agreement also
includes an earnout provision in which miro Computer Products AG will receive
additional consideration equal to 50% of sales generated in excess of $37
million during the first twelve full months following the acquisition as long as
operating profits related to such sales exceed 3% of sales, increasing to 85% of
sales
-1-
<PAGE>
for those sales which exceed $59 million during the same twelve month period.
Any earnout payments will be paid in common stock of the Company.
Industry Background
The video production industry has historically created program material
for commercial broadcast and television advertising. Producers of commercial
program material and advertising have traditionally used video editing suites
equipped with expensive, dedicated video production equipment to produce high
quality video programming. A large and established market exists for video
equipment used in traditional video editing suites. Expanding channels of
distribution, including cable television, direct satellite broadcast, the
Internet, CD-ROM , DVD (Digital Versatile Disk), and video-on demand, have led
to a rapid increase in demand for video content for existing and new
applications. New applications for video content include multimedia
entertainment, video games, music videos, special event videos, education and
training and corporate communications. These new applications cannot, in
general, support the high cost and complexity of video production associated
with traditional editing suites. Computer based video products, which combine
the technology of personal computers with specialized video processing hardware
and software, have reached a point where they can provide quality video output
comparable to that of traditional video editing suites at significantly lower
cost.
Video Production Process
The development of a video program involves three distinct processes,
which together comprise video production. The first phase, pre-production,
involves planning and preparation for the recording, or "shooting," of the video
program and includes scripting, storyboarding (the artist's rendering of planned
video segments) and developing the production budget. The second phase,
production, involves the actual shooting of video material either on location or
in a studio. This process follows the pre-production script, recording actual
video segments outlined by the storyboard sketches. Production also includes the
creation of still-images and computer animated images to be included in the
program.
The final phase, post-production, involves the organization of raw
video segments acquired in the production phase into a cohesive and appealing
program. During the post-production phase, the producer utilizes sophisticated
equipment to incorporate essential elements such as titles, graphics and
transitions between video segments and to composite multiple layers of video and
graphics. The overall quality and impact of a video production is, in many
cases, judged by the quality of the video processing performed in the
post-production phase. Viewers expect the same level of video program quality
that they see daily with broadcast television programming, where high quality
graphics, smooth transitions and compositing of multiple layers of graphics and
video are commonplace.
Video Editing Suites
To implement high quality post-production video effects, producers of
commercial broadcast and television advertising have traditionally used multiple
pieces of dedicated equipment, linked together with a complex interconnection,
routing and control system to form a video "editing suite." Typical editing
suites incorporate switchers, digital video effects systems ("DVEs), still image
management systems ("Still Stores"), character generators, electronic paint and
compositing systems and 3D modeling and animation tools, typically provided by
multiple manufacturers and used to implement a single effect or group of related
effects. Traditional editing suites allow video professionals to produce a high
quality finished product in real time, whereby the operator can touch a button
or move a joystick or mouse and see the desired effect
-2-
<PAGE>
instantaneously. Real time interactivity, which allows the video producer
spontaneously and interactively to try many different video manipulations and
fine tune the resulting video content, is a critical requirement in the video
post-production process.
Because of the complexity and large number of components required,
traditional video editing suites are expensive, ranging in cost from $100,000 to
several million dollars for a fully equipped suite. Furthermore, each component
within the suite often has its own user interface and therefore its own user
training equipment. A video professional has therefore required significant
training to become proficient in the operation of equipment in a traditional
editing suite. Because traditional editing suites are expensive and complex,
they are usually operated as time-shared resources. Producers typically rent a
video editing suite together with highly trained operators for between $100 to
$1,000 per hour. The high cost of traditional editing suites makes them
unsuitable for video applications where high development costs cannot be
supported.
Computer based video post-production
Video post-production tools based on standard computer platforms have
become a real alternative to traditional video editing. Such tools are based on
a combination of personal computers, graphical user interfaces, video
input/output and specialized processing hardware and software. These tools are
designed to be much lower cost than traditional tools since they can take
advantage of the ongoing cost improvements in computer and video processing
technology. In addition, they are often easier to use since they can utilize
common computer user interfaces, and can be dedicated to an individual user
rather than time-shared between multiple projects.
Computer based video post-production tools are well-suited for many new
video applications, including multi-media entertainment, video games, music
videos, special event videos, education and training and corporate
communications as well as the traditional applications such as broadcast and
on-air applications. The low-cost of desktop video tools allows video programs
to be developed more efficiently and inexpensively. The lower cost and increased
ease of use of desktop video tools makes it easy for a large number of creative
individuals, previously untrained in video production, to produce professional
quality video programming.
Historically, the inability of computer based video post-production
tools to implement, in real time, the same sophisticated high quality video
effects as are available in traditional editing suites limited their use. To
produce special effects and compositing, computer based tools have historically
relied upon software to render the desired effect. The initial creation and each
subsequent alteration of complex video manipulations could require many hours of
software rendering time. Video rendering time has continued to improve as
computer processing power has improved, but complex video manipulations can
still not be performed on standard computer platforms in real time without
specialized video processing technology.
Company Strategy
Pinnacle has developed video processing technologies and products which
allow complex video manipulation in real time. Those technologies includes real
time digital video processing, real time software algorithms, video input/output
and advanced video manipulation user interfaces. Used in conjunction with
standard computer platforms these technologies provide high quality, cost
effective, computer based solutions for the video post production markets. As a
result, Pinnacle has become a leading supplier of real time computer based video
manipulation technology for video post production markets.
-3-
<PAGE>
Pinnacle's strategy is to leverage its leading market and technological
position to continue to provide innovative, real time, computer based solutions
for three video post production markets which the Company characterizes as the
Broadcast market, the Desktop video market, and the Consumer video market.
The Broadcast market generally requires very high technical performance
such as real time 10-bit processing, control of multiple channels of live video,
and specialized filtering and interpolation. To address this market the Company
is pursuing a strategy of providing high performance, specialized, Windows NT
based, computer solutions for high end post production and broadcast on-air
applications.
The Desktop market is generally more cost conscious, demands products
that work in an open architecture computer environment but that still provide
high quality real time video processing capabilities. For this market, the
company expects to continue to pursue a strategy of providing real time video
manipulation technology to support both linear, or tape based, and non-linear,
or computer based, editing environments. In addition, the Company plans to
expand the scope of its products in this market to encompass certain
COmpression/DECompression (CODEC) technology required to control and transfer
video into and out of the computer. By combining the Company's real time video
processing technology with CODEC technology, the Company intends to provide a
complete video processing platform which can work with software from companies
specializing in video editing applications. The Company expects to commence
shipment of its first video processing platform product during fiscal 1998
The Consumer market requires a much lower price point and puts more
emphasis on ease of use and installation. The Company's strategy for this market
is to provide low cost, easy to use, complete video editing solutions which
allows consumers to edit their home videos using a combination of their home PC,
camcorder and VCR.
To effectively pursue these market strategies, the Company intends to
expand its core technologies, leverage its product design resources, drive down
the cost of real time manipulation technology, and expand its product lines, as
follows:
Expand Core Technologies: The Company has continued to expanded its
core software and hardware technologies since the Company's inception, and the
Company expects to continue to expand this technological base through both
internal development and through acquisitions. During fiscal 1997, the Company
completed the internal development of certain technology which allows 10-bit
real time video manipulation processing on multiple channels of live video. In
addition, the Company acquired certain technologies. In June 1996, the Company
acquired the Video Director product line from Gold Disk, Inc. which added
consumer oriented software editing capabilities, and camcorder and VCR control
to the Company's core technology base. In April 1997 the Company acquired the
Deko character generation technology from Digital Graphix, which allows real
time generation of video characters and graphics for the broadcast and on-air
applications.
Leverage Product Designs: The Company considers it important to
leverage design resources within the company to maximize the new product designs
and time-to-market. The Company uses an "object oriented" design mentality to
"mix and match" components of technology when developing new products. This
"object oriented" design methodology allows the company to leverage its
investment in reasearch and development since components of technology can be
used for multiple product designs. It also improves the Company's ability to get
products into the market faster since certain pieces of technology can be
quickly incorporated. This methodology has been applied to software code and to
hardware and ASIC designs. For example, the ASIC chip used in Studio 200, one of
the Company's consumer products, was originally designed for Genie, one of the
company's real time desktop products. Similarly, certain software and hardware
originally designed for Genie was subsequently designed into Lightning, the
company's new Image
-4-
<PAGE>
Management product.
Reduce Cost of Real Time Video Manipulation Technology: Pinnacle has
continued to drive down the cost of its real time video manipulation technology
by integrating more of that technology into application specific integrated
circuits (ASIC). The company intends to continue to identify opportunities to
integrate more functionality into ASIC's so that real time video manipulation
technology can be provided at lower market price points. The Company believes
that as the cost of providing video processing technology decreases, the number
of potential market seats will likely increase. In addition, by using similar
components of technology, specifically ASIC and field programmable arrays,
material costs are reduced since the Company can take advantage of higher unit
volumes, especially when those components are included in the higher volume
consumer products.
Expand Product Lines: The company expanded its product offerings during
fiscal 1997, and expects to add new products during fiscal 1998. For example of
the Company's history, in June 1994, the Company commenced shipment of Alladin,
its first product designed to provide real time video manipulation for the
desktop video market. Since then, the Company has broadened the Alladin product
family to include a PAL version, and component and CCIR601 capabilities. In June
1996, the Company introduced the Genie family of products, designed to meet the
video manipulation needs of desktop video users at a price point much lower than
Alladin. During fiscal 1997, the Company combined the Video Director with
internally developed real time video processing technology and created
VideoDirector Studio 200. In April 1997, the Company acquired the Deko product
line from Digital Graphix and commenced shipment of the first Pinnacle branded
character generator that month. In June 1997, the Company commenced shipment of
the Windows NT based DVEextreme and Lightning product families. The Company
expects to continue to expand its product lines though both internal development
and possibly through additional acquisitions.
Products
Pinnacle has developed the following products to address video post
production needs for each the Broadcast, Desktop, and Consumer markets.
Broadcast Products:
For the Broadcast market the Company currently has products that
provide real time digital effects, still image management and storage, and real
time video character generation. These products generally include proprietary
Pinnacle hardware and software and specialized control panels and/or key boards
for ultra-quick operations, especially for on-air applications. The primary
broadcast products sold during fiscal 1997 were the Prizm and Flashfile family
of products. In April 1997, the Company introduced two new product families,
DVExtreme and Lightning, which are designed to address the markets previously
addressed by Prizm and Flashfile. Also in April 1997 the Company completed the
acquisition of the Deko product line from Digital Graphix, Inc. These three new
product families comprise Pinnacle's new suite of high performance real time
Windows NT-based products designed for broadcast and high end post production
applications.
Prizm Family
The Prizm family of products was first introduced in 1990. Prizm is
designed to provide sophisticated 3D digital video effects which includes real
time 3D warps, positioning, sizing, rotation with perspective and clipping of
live video images. Prizm operates on a Microsoft DOS based platform. Options
-5-
<PAGE>
to Prizm include compositing, key processing, still image capture and storage,
and the DVEator option. The DVEator option permits the creation of unique
special effects by combining 3D modeling techniques with digital video
technology to map live video in real time onto animated 3D shapes. A base Prizm
system has a suggested list price of $23,990.
Flashfile Family
The FlashFile family of products was first introduced in 1992 and
provides broadcast quality still image creation and storage for the broadcast
television market. The FlashFile stillstore offers a broad set of features for
video still image acquisition, storage and on-air playback, including
transitions, file import and export and library management. Operating on a
Microsoft DOS platform, Flashfile offers a computer-based graphical user
interface and may also be controlled using a dedicated hardware control panel
for fast, on-air applications. The Company offers a networked version of
FlashFile, FlashNet, that is targeted toward broadcast applications requiring
online storage of up to several hundred thousand still images with distributed
access using standard Ethernet networking. Using the FlashBrowse PC software
package, a standard personal computer may be connected to the FlashNet network
enabling viewing and cataloging of video still images stored on a network
server. A base Flashfile system has a suggested list price of $16,990 for both
NTSC and PAL versions.
DVExtreme Family
DVExtreme is Pinnacle's newest high performance real time DVE for
broadcast and post production customers to incorporate unique special effects
into their programming. It is a Windows NT-based, multi-channel system with
10-bit digital processing. It can simultaneously manipulate up to three channels
of live video and can generate effects such as four-corner page peels and turns
with highlights and shadows, water ripples, ball effects, wave patterns, and
other effects, all in real time. It also includes Pinnacle's proprietary
ParticalFX and PainterlyFX technology which allows the creation of video
textures and paint-look effects. Because it is based on a Windows NT platform it
can be connected to a standard computer network to easily transfer files and
effects throughout the network. A standard two channel digital DVEextreme has a
suggested list price of $44,990 for an NTSC version and $51,990 for a PAL
version.
Lightning Family
Lightning is Pinnacle's new high performance image and graphics
management system designed for broadcast and post production applications such
as news and sports programs. It is a Windows NT-based system that can have up to
three channels of video, plus additional virtual channels for previewing on a
monitor. It uses 4:2:2:4 digital video processing to ensure broadcast quality
images. Lightning has an internal storage capacity for over ten thousand images,
and a fast SCSI interface to external disks for expanded storage needs.
Lightning can also perform 3D digital video effects on captured video images. A
standard single channel Lightning with digital serial input has a suggested list
price of $25,990 for an NTSC version and $28,990 for a PAL version.
Deko Family
The Deko family of products are designed to provide high performance
titling and character generation for broadcast and on-air applications. Based on
a Windows NT operating systems, Type Deko includes powerful text and graphics
tools such as real time text scrolling, text manipulation, font enhancement,
multiple layers for text composition, TrueType fonts and it supports a wide
range of international character sets. The product supports a large variety of

<PAGE>
formats to import backgrounds, textures and images. In addition, a Fast Action
Keyboard is available as an option for on-air applications. A standard
TypeDeko-Pentiium Pro 200 system has a suggested list price of $26,300 for an
NTSC version and $30,245 for a PAL version.
Desktop Products:
The Company's desktop products are designed to provide high quality
real time video manipulation capabilities for computer based video
post-production systems. They are generally offered at significantly lower price
points than traditional systems having comparable capabilities, are sold
separate from the computer and are integrated into the computer by a value added
reseller, an OEM, or the end user. The Company has two families of Desktop
products, the Alladin family and the Genie family products.
Alladin Family
The Alladin product family is designed to provide high quality real
time video manipulation capabilities for desktop video post-production. It
allows the user to manipulate and process up to four simultaneous streams of
live video supplied from either video tape or computer disk. It provides a
variety of high quality real time video effects including dissolves, compositing
of live video with text or graphics, transparency, clipping of a live image,
sizing, rotation with perspective, 3D positioning and warping. The Alladin
connects to and is controlled by a standard Microsoft Windows-based personal
computer. The Company commenced shipment of Alladin in June 1994. A standard
Alladin with composite analog I/O has a suggested list price of $10,490 for an
NTSC version and $12,490 for a PAL version.
Genie Family
The Genie family of products offers a complete set of professional
quality, real-time 3D digital effects, switching, character generation, paint
and still storage on a single PCI board. It has much of the functionality of
Alladin but at a much lower price point and fits inside the computer rather than
connecting through an external port as does Alladin. There are two versions of
Genie, GeniePlus for the linear market and an OEM version for the non-linear
market. GeniePlus integrates into linear desktop editing environments and
includes an input/output piggyback card and software allowing the user to
process up to two simultaneous streams of live video. The Company commenced
shipments of the GeniePlus in June 1996, and the OEM version in September 1996.
The non-linear version is sold to OEM vendors, including Avid Technology, Inc.
and Media 100, Inc. who integrate and sell it with their non-linear editing
products. GeniePlus has a suggested list price of $5,990 for an NTSC version and
$6,990 for a PAL version.
Consumer Products
The Company's Consumer products provide complete video editing
solutions which allows consumers to edit their home videos using a combination
of their home PC, camcorder and VCR. They are sold at lower price points than
the Company's other products and are sold as software packages and as computer
peripheral products. The Company entered the consumer video editing market by
acquiring the VideoDirector product line from Gold Disk, Inc. in June 1996. In
March 1997, the Company commenced shipment of its first in house developed
consumer editing product, the VideoDirector Studio 200.
VideoDirector Suite
VideoDirector Suite is a low-cost video editing software package which
allows home enthusiasts to edit their personal videos by eliminating unwanted
sections of video, rearranging the sequence of video clips
-7-
<PAGE>
and add audio to the finished product. It includes the VideoDirector software, a
title and audio editor, and a smart cable for connecting a camcorder. It is
compatible with most camcorders and VCRs, and uses a Windows based PC to control
the editing process. VideoDirector Suite has a suggested list price of $99.
Video Director Studio 200
VideoDirector Studio 200 combines the functionality of VideoDirector
Suite with certain real time effects technology originally developed for
Pinnacle's desktop products. The product includes all of the functionality of
VideoDirector, and includes the Studio 200 mixer which contains the real time
processing hardware. VideoDirector Studio 200 not only allows basic editing, but
it provides an array of special effects for titles and graphics, animation,
fade-in and out, full linear keying for translucent titles or backgrounds, and
Windows fonts with shadows, outline, and frame options. The product is easy to
install since it doesn't require users to open up their PC and it does not
require hard disc space for the storage of video since the final video
production is output to tape in real time. VideoDirector Studio 200 has a
suggested list price of $299.
Technology
The Company is a technological leader in video manipulation technology.
The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences' Outstanding Technical
Achievement EMMY award that has been awarded to the Company on two occasions. In
1990, the Company received an EMMY for pioneering the concept of the video
workstation, and in 1994 the Company received an EMMY for developing technology
which allows real time mapping of live video onto animated 3D surfaces.
Video Manipulation Architecture
Many of the Company's products share a common internal architecture.
This design approach allows the Company to maximize the return on its research
and development expenditures by utilizing similar hardware and software modules
in multiple products. The Company's video manipulation architecture is
fundamental to the performance and capabilities of its products.
All of the Company's products use or work with an industry standard
Intel microprocessor running Microsoft DOS/Windows or Windows NT for control of
video manipulation functions. In all of the Broadcast products the control
microprocessor is embedded within the product. The Desktop and Consumer products
are inserted into or connect externally to a Windows based personal computer.
The use of industry standard microprocessors for control offers three main
advantages over traditional video products: lower software development costs due
to the availability of powerful off-the-shelf software development tools; lower
product manufacturing costs due to the low costs of standard microprocessors;
and the ability to integrate third party software such as networking or 3D
rendering software to provide additional functionality.
Essentially all real-time video manipulation must be performed on
uncompressed video data. Since uncompressed digital video rates are too high to
be processed by a microprocessor in real-time, video signals are internally
distributed over a separate high-speed digital video bus ("DVB") and processed
using the Company's proprietary real time video manipulation hardware. The video
data on the DVB is processed in the standard digital component format, which
fully complies with the highest digital component video standards of the
International Radio Consultation Committee ("CCIR"), an organization which
develops and publishes standards for international telecommunication systems.
The DVB supports a digital key channel that defines the edges of an irregularly
shaped image for proper manipulation. The wide bandwidth and
-8-
<PAGE>
industry standard format of the DVB helps to ensure high quality video output.
The software in all of the Company's video manipulation products is
divided into two layers: the user interface layer and the video manipulation
algorithm layer. The user interface layer is different and has been optimized
for each product family. The video manipulation algorithm layer is, for the most
part, common to most Pinnacle products and incorporates all the proprietary low
level routines which allow Pinnacle products to perform high quality real-time
video manipulations. This software architecture has three main advantages:
real-time video manipulation algorithms that are complex and difficult to
develop can be used in multiple products; the user interface can be tailored to
meet specific user requirement; and the user interface can independently be
ported to alternative computer platforms.
Core Technologies
The Company's core technical expertise is in real-time digital video
processing, real-time software algorithms, video input/output, advanced user
interfaces and, in the case of Video Director, software control of commercially
available camcorders and VCRs.
o Real-Time Digital Video Processing. The Company has devoted
significant resources to the development of proprietary technology for
real time video processing, including high speed digital filters, image
transformation buffers, plane and perspective addressing, and nonlinear
image manipulation. The Company's patented DVEator technology allows
real-time mapping of live video onto multiple, complex, animated 3D
shapes and surfaces. This technology includes a proprietary data
compression algorithm that compresses the address information and
allows inexpensive decompression of this data in real time.
o Real-Time Software Algorithms. The digital video manipulation
functions of the Company's products use common core software that
performs complex computations in real-time (at video rates) under user
control. The Company has developed certain algorithms that allow the
high speed computation of multiple complex equations which are required
for real-time video effects.
o Video Input/Output. The Company has developed technology for video
input and output of both composite analog and component digital video
data streams. All of the Company's products work with NTSC and PAL
video standards. In addition, the Company has developed interfaces to
support input/output of video streams stored on computer disks.
o User Interface Design. The Company has extensive experience in design
of computer-based user interfaces for video control and manipulation.
The Company uses interactive menu driven user interfaces to control
video manipulation functions.
o Camcorder and VCR Control. With the acquisition of the VideoDirector
product line in June 1996, the Company obtained software code which
enables a computer to control most commercially available camcorders
and VCRs.
The Company has historically devoted a significant portion of its
resources to engineering and product development programs and expects to
continue to allocate significant resources to these efforts. In addition, the
Company has acquired certain technologies which has aided the company's ability
to more rapidly develop and market new products, such as the VideoDirector
Studio 200. The Company's future operating results will depend to a considerable
extent on its ability to continually develop, acquire, introduce
-9-
<PAGE>
and deliver new hardware and software products that offer its customers
additional features and enhanced performance at competitive prices. Delays in
the introduction or shipment of new or enhanced products, the inability of the
Company to timely develop and introduce such new products, the failure of such
products to gain market acceptance or problems associated with new product
transitions could adversely affect the Company's business, operating results and
financial condition, particularly on a quarterly basis.
As of June 30, 1997, the Company had 47 people engaged in engineering
and product development. The Company's engineering and product development
expenses (excluding purchased in process research and development) in fiscal
1997, 1996 and 1995 were $ 7.6 million, $5.1 million and $2.4 million,
respectively, and represented 20.2%, 11.1% and 10.8%, respectively, of net
sales.
Customers, Marketing and Sales
Customers
<TABLE>
Since the introduction of its first video workstation in 1987, the
Company has shipped over 10,000 systems to customers in more than 60 countries.
End users of the Company's products, none of whom accounted for a material
amount of the Company's net sales during any period, range from individual users
to major corporate/government, video production and broadcast facilities
worldwide. There can be no assurance that any of the end users of the Company's
products will purchase the Company's products in the future. The Company's
customers and their locations include:

Marketing
The Company's marketing efforts are targeted at users of broadcast and
desktop post production suites, and at home video editing enthusiasts. In order
to increase awareness of its products, the Company
-10-
<PAGE>
attends a number of tradeshows, the major ones being National Association of
Broadcasters (NAB) show and the Comdex show, both in the United States, and the
International Broadcasters Convention (IBC) in Europe. The Company uses targeted
direct mail campaigns and advertisements in trade and computer publications for
most of its product lines.
Sales
The Company sells its broadcast and desktop products to end users
through an established domestic and international network of independent dealers
and through OEMs. The Company also maintains a sales management organization
consisting of six US regional sales managers and five international regional
sales managers primarily responsible for supporting independent dealers and
making direct sales in geographic regions without dealer coverage or to
customers that prefer to transact directly with the Company. The Company sells
its consumers products through large consumer electronic chains and through
direct customer orders placed by phone or through the Company's web site.
The Company's broadcast and desktop products are sold to end users
through independent dealers who specialize in selling video production
equipment. As of June 30, 1997, the Company had over 170 dealers covering more
than 40 countries. These independent dealers are selected for their ability to
provide effective field sales and technical support to the Company's customers.
Dealers generally carry the Company's products as demonstration units, advise
customers on system configuration and installation and perform ongoing
post-sales customer support. The Company believes that many end users depend on
the technical support offered by independent dealers in making product purchase
decisions. In North America, the Company manages its independent dealers with
six regional sales managers and independent sales representatives. In Europe,
the Company manages its independent dealers with an office of twelve people
located in the United Kingdom. Independent dealers in the Far East are managed
by regional sales managers located in Japan and Singapore. Central and South
America is managed by a regional sales manager located in Miami, Florida. No
single dealer individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company's net
sales in fiscal 1997, 1996 or 1995.
The Company sells and distributes its products through OEMs that
incorporate the Company's products into their video editing products and resell
these products to other resellers and end users. OEM partners generally purchase
the Company's products and are responsible for conducting their own marketing,
sales and support activities. The Company attempts to identify and align itself
with OEMs that are market share and technology leaders in the Company's target
market segments.
In particular, the Company is highly dependent on sales of Alladin and
Genie to Avid. Avid is a leading supplier of digital, nonlinear video and audio
editing systems for the professional video and film editing market. Sales to
Avid accounted for approximately 26.4% of net sales in fiscal 1997, and 43.3% of
sales in fiscal 1996. No customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's
net sales during fiscal 1995. This concentration of the Company's net sales to a
single OEM customer subjects the Company to a number of risks, in particular the
risk that its operating results will vary on a quarter to quarter basis as a
result of variations in the ordering patterns of the OEM customer. Variations in
the timing of revenues can cause significant fluctuations in quarterly results
of operations. The Company's results of operations could be materially adversely
affected by the failure of anticipated orders to materialize and by deferrals or
cancellations of orders as a result of changes in Avid's requirements. As a
result, if the Company were to lose Avid as a customer, or if orders from Avid
were to otherwise decrease, the Company's business, operating results and
financial condition would be materially adversely affected.
With the introduction of the Genie product line, the Company adopted a
similar OEM distribution
-11-
<PAGE>
strategy. The Company expects that a substantial portion of sales of the Genie
product line will continue to be to OEMs who could also develop and offer
products which compete with Genie. The Company is dependent upon these resellers
to assist it in promoting market acceptance of the professional video products
and desktop video systems and creating demand for the Company's products. There
can be no assurance that these dealers and OEMs will devote the resources
necessary to provide effective sales and marketing support to the Company. In
addition, there is a risk that these dealers may give higher priority to
products of other suppliers, thus reducing their efforts to sell the Company's
products. If a significant number of its dealers were to experience financial
difficulties, or otherwise become unable or unwilling to promote, sell or pay
for the Company's products, the Company's results of operations would be
adversely affected.
The Company's consumer products are sold through a different channel
than the Company's other products. VideoDirector Suite and VideoDirector Studio
200 products are sold primarily through large computer software distributors
such as Ingram Micro Inc. who then distribute the products to large computer
software and hardware retailers such as CompUSA, ComputerCity, and Egghead
Software who in turn sell the products to end-users. The Company also sells its
VideoDirector products directly to some retailers such as The Good Guys. In
addition, VideoDirector products are sold via direct telemarketing, mail order
and over the Internet. The consumer market is characterized by longer payment
terms and higher sales returns than the Company's broadcast and desktop markets.
There can be no assurance that computer retailers will continue to stock and
sell the Company's VideoDirector products. If a significant number of computer
retailers were to discontinue selling VideoDirector products, the Company's
results of operations would be adversely affected.
Sales outside of North America represented approximately 39.7%, 38.7%
and 46.5% of the Company's net sales for fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. All of the Company's international sales through fiscal 1994 were
denominated in U.S. dollars. In fiscal 1995, the Company began foreign currency
denominated sales in the United Kingdom. From time to time the Company makes
foreign currency denominated sales in other countries, but the dollar amount was
nominal during fiscal 1997. It is likely that the Company will increase the
amount of sales denominated in foreign currency during fiscal 1998, especially
for sales of Consumer products into Europe. International sales and operations
may be subject to risks such as currency fluctuations, the imposition of
governmental controls, export license requirements, restrictions on the export
of critical technology, generally longer receivable collection periods,
political instability, trade restrictions, changes in tariffs, difficulties in
staffing and managing international operations, potential insolvency of
international dealers and difficulty in collecting accounts receivable. There
can be no assurance that these factors will not have an adverse effect on the
Company's future international sales and, consequently, on the Company's
business, operating results and financial condition.
Service and Support
The Company believes that its ability to provide customer service and
support is an important element in the marketing of its products. The customer
service and support operation also provides the Company with a means of
understanding customer requirements for future product enhancements. The Company
maintains an in-house repair facility and also provides telephone access to its
technical support staff. The Company's technical support engineers not only
provide assistance in diagnosing problems, but work closely with customers to
address system integration issues and to assist customers in increasing the
efficiency and productivity of their systems. The Company supports its customers
in Europe and Asia primarily through its international dealers. The Company
typically warrants its products against defects in materials and workmanship for
one year after shipment to the dealer. The Company believes its warranties are
similar to those offered by other video production equipment suppliers. To date,
the Company has not
-12-
<PAGE>
encountered any significant product maintenance problems.
Competition
The video production equipment market is highly competitive and is
characterized by rapid technological change, new product development and
obsolescence, evolving industry standards and significant price erosion over the
life of a product. Competition is fragmented with several hundred manufacturers
supplying a variety of products to this market. The Company anticipates
increased competition in the video post-production equipment market from both
existing manufacturers and new market entrants.
Competition for Pinnacle's broadcast products are generally based on
product performance, breadth of product line, service and support, market
presence and price. The Company believes that it competes favorably for sales of
video production equipment used in traditional editing suites in situations
where price/performance is a primary factor in equipment selection. The
Company's principal competitors in this market include Scitex Video (a division
of Scitex Corporation Ltd.)("Scitex"), The Grass Valley Group, Inc. (a
subsidiary of Tektronix, Inc.) ("Grass Valley Group"), Matsushita Electric
Industrial Co. Ltd. ("Matsushita"), Quantel Ltd. (a division of Carlton
Communications Plc) ("Quantel") and Sony Corporation ("Sony"), each of which has
substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, sales and customer
support resources, greater name recognition and larger installed customer bases
than the Company. In addition, these companies have established relationships
with current and potential customers of the Company. Some of the Company's
competitors also offer a wide variety of video equipment, including professional
video tape recorders, video cameras and other related equipment. In some cases,
these competitors may have a competitive advantage based upon their ability to
bundle their equipment in certain large system sales.
The Company expects that potential competition in the desktop market
may come from a number of potential groups of video companies such as
traditional video equipment suppliers, providers of desktop editing solutions,
video software application companies, or others. Suppliers of traditional video
equipment such as Grass Valley Group, Matsushita, Quantel, Scitex and Sony have
the financial resources and technical know-how to develop high quality real time
video manipulation products for the desktop video market. Suppliers of desktop
editing video systems such as Avid Technology, Media 100, Fast Electronic,
Matrox, Newtek, Inc., Truevision, Inc.and Scitex Video, which have established
desktop video distribution channels, experience in marketing low price products
and significant financial resources, may acquire or develop high quality real
time video manipulation products for the desktop video market. Suppliers of
video manipulation software such as Adobe Systems, Inc. or SoftImage, a
subsidiary of Microsoft Corporation may develop products which compete directly
with the Company's real time manipulation products. The software products
supplied by these companies are, and will continue to be, significantly less
expensive than the systems marketed by the Company, but they generally require
lengthy rendering time and therefore do not provide the real time capabilities
currently offered by both Alladin and Genie.
Increased competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins
and loss of market share, all of which would materially and adversely affect the
Company's business, operating results and financial condition. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully against current
and future competitors.
Manufacturing and Suppliers
The Company's manufacturing operations, located at its Mountain View,
California facility, consist primarily of testing printed circuit assemblies,
final product assembly, configuration and testing, quality
-13-
<PAGE>
assurance and shipping for the Company's broadcast and desktop products.
Manufacturing of the Company's consumer products is performed by an independent
subcontractor and products are generally shipped directly to the distributor or
retailer. Each of the Company's products undergoes quality inspection and
testing at the board level and final assembly stage. The Company manages its
materials with a software system that integrates purchasing, inventory control
and cost accounting.
The Company relies on independent subcontractors who manufacture to the
Company's specifications major subassemblies used in the Company's products.
This approach allows the Company to concentrate its manufacturing resources on
areas where it believes it can add the most value, such as product testing and
final assembly, and reduces the high cost of owning and operating a full scale
manufacturing facility. The Company has manufacturing agreements with Quadrus, a
division of Bell Microproducts, Inc., for the manufacture of major subassemblies
used in its broadcast and desktop products, and with Solectron for the
manufacture of the Company's consumer products. The Company's reliance on
subcontractors to manufacture major subassemblies used in its products involves
a number of significant risks including the loss of control over the
manufacturing process, the potential absence of adequate capacity, the
unavailability of or interruptions in access to certain process technologies and
reduced control over delivery schedules, manufacturing yields, quality and
costs. In the event that any significant subcontractor were to become unable or
unwilling to continue to manufacture these subassemblies in required volumes,
the Company's business, operating results and financial condition would be
materially adversely affected.
To the extent possible, the Company and its manufacturing
subcontractors use standard parts and components available from multiple
vendors. However, the Company and its subcontractors are dependent upon single
or limited source suppliers for a number of key components and parts used in all
of its products, including a proprietary application specific integrated
circuits manufactured only by LSI Logic Corp., several video processing
integrated circuits manufactured only by Raytheon Corporation, field
programmable gate arrays manufactured only by Altera Corporation and serial RAM
memory modules manufactured only by Hitachi, Ltd. The Company's manufacturing
subcontractors generally purchase these single or limited source components
pursuant to purchase orders placed from time to time in the ordinary course of
business, do not carry significant inventories of these components and have no
guaranteed supply arrangements with such suppliers. In addition, the
availability of many of these components to the Company's manufacturing
subcontractors is dependent in part on the Company's ability to provide its
manufacturers, and their ability to provide suppliers, with accurate forecast of
its future requirements. The Company and its manufacturing subcontractors
endeavor to maintain ongoing communication with its suppliers to guard against
interruptions in supply. Any extended future interruption or limitation of any
of the components currently obtained from single or limited source suppliers
could result in delays or reductions in product shipments which would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. Also, because of
the reliance on these single or limited source components, the Company may be
subject to increases in component costs which could have an adverse effect on
the Company's results of operations. The Company has experienced interruptions
in the supply of certain key integrated circuits from suppliers which
accordingly delayed product shipments, and any extended interruption or
reduction in the future supply of any key components currently obtained from a
single or limited source could have a significant adverse effect on the
Company's business, operating results and financial condition in any given
period.
In the traditional video market segment, the Company's customers
generally order on an as-needed basis. The Company typically ships its products
within 30 to 60 days of receipt of an order, depending on customer requirements,
although certain customers, including OEMs, may place substantial orders with
the expectation that shipments will be staged over several months. A substantial
majority of product shipments in a period relate to orders received in that
period, and accordingly, the Company generally operates with a limited backlog
of orders. The absence of a significant historical backlog means that quarterly
results are
-14-
<PAGE>
difficult to predict and delays in product delivery and in the closing of sales
near the end of a quarter can cause quarterly revenues to fall below anticipated
levels. In addition, customers may cancel or reschedule orders without
significant penalty and the prices of products may be adjusted between the time
the purchase order is booked into backlog and the time the product is shipped to
the customer. As a result of these factors, the Company believes that the
backlog of orders as of any particular date is not necessarily indicative of the
Company's actual sales for any future period.
Proprietary Rights and Licenses
The Company's ability to compete successfully and achieve future
revenue growth will depend, in part, on its ability to protect its proprietary
technology and operate without infringing the rights of others. The Company
relies on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws
and other intellectual property protection methods to protect its proprietary
technology. In addition, the Company generally enters into confidentiality and
nondisclosure agreements with its employees and OEM customers and limits access
to and distribution of its proprietary technology. The Company currently holds
two United States patent covering certain aspects of the technologies utilized
by Prizm and DVExtreme. Although the Company intends to pursue a policy of
obtaining patents for appropriate inventions, the Company believes that the
success of its business will depend primarily on the innovative skills,
technical expertise and marketing abilities of its personnel, rather than upon
the ownership of patents. Certain technology used in the Company's products is
licensed from third parties on a royalty-bearing basis. Such royalties to date
have not been, and are not expected to be, material. Generally, such agreements
grant to the Company nonexclusive, worldwide rights with respect to the subject
technology and terminate only upon a material breach by the Company.
The Company has in the past received communications suggesting that its
products may utilize concepts covered by patent rights of third parties and, in
the future, may receive communications asserting that the Company's products
infringe patents or other intellectual property rights of third parties. There
can be no assurance that there will not be any future such communications. The
Company's policy is to investigate the factual basis of such communications and
to negotiate licenses where appropriate. While it may be necessary or desirable
in the future to obtain licenses relating to one or more of its products, or
relating to current or future technologies, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to do so on commercially reasonable terms or at all. There
can be no assurance these or other future communications can be settled on
commercially reasonable terms or that they will not result in protracted
litigation.
There has been substantial industry litigation regarding patent,
trademark and other intellectual property rights involving technology companies.
In the future, litigation may be necessary to enforce any patents issued to the
Company to protect trade secrets, trademarks and other intellectual property
rights owned by the Company to defend the Company against claimed infringement
of the rights of others and to determine the scope and validity of the
proprietary rights of others. Any such litigation could be costly and a
diversion of management's attention, which could have material adverse effect on
the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. Adverse
determinations in such litigation could result in the loss of the Company's
proprietary rights, subject the Company to significant liabilities, require the
Company to seek licenses from third parties or prevent the Company from
manufacturing or selling its products, any of which could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial
condition.
Employees
As of June 30, 1997, the Company had 158 full-time employees, including
47 engaged in engineering and product development activities, 33 in
manufacturing, 68 in marketing and sales and 10 in administration
-15-
<PAGE>
and finance. The Company believes that its future success will depend, in part,
on its continuing ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified technical,
marketing and managerial personnel. None of the Company's employees is
represented by a collective bargaining agreement, nor has the Company
experienced work stoppages. The Company believes that its relations with its
employees are good.
Subsidiaries:
The Company has two subsidiaries which were organized to take advantage of
certain tax benefits related to export sales. The Company established a Domestic
International Sales Corp. ("DISC) in fiscal 1988. In fiscal 1996, the Company
discontinued use of the DISC and established a Foreign Sales Corporation
("FSC"). The FSC provides certain permanent federal income tax benefits for
export sales by the Company.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's principal administrative, marketing, manufacturing and
product development facility is located in Mountain View, California. This
facility occupies approximately 106,500 square feet pursuant to a lease which
commenced August 15, 1996 and which will terminate December 31, 2003. The
Company has also entered into an agreement to sublease approximately 41,500 of
the Mountain View Facility to Network Computing Devices. That sublease agreement
is currently scheduled to terminate on August 31, 1998.
In addition, the Company occupies sales and customer support facilities

of this lease if the term of this lease shall expire between January 1 and
February 15), Lessor will furnish to Lessee a statement which shall show (a) a
comparison of the expenses for maintaining and operating a building for a
calendar year next preceeding the year in which the comparative statement is
submitted to the base expenses and; (b) the amount, if any, of the increase or
decrease in base rent to be enforced as hereinafter provided. in the event that
Lessor shall for any reason fail to furnish such a comparative statement on or

subsequent year (and that day immediately following the expiration of the term
of this lease and, if the term of this lease shall expire between July 15, and
August 30), Lessor will furnish to Lessee a statement which shall show (a) a

statement on or before July 15 of any year, Lessor shall on or before such date
furnish Lessee with a written notice to the effect that Lessor is entitled to an
estimated increase or that Lessee is entitled to an estimated decrease in rent

with the respect thereof. In such event, Lessor shall furnish Lessee with a
comparative statement on or before the following August 30th with the same force
and effect as a comparative statement would have had if delivered as provided
herein and appropriate adjustment in the estimate shall be made. The failure of
Lessor to furnish a comparative statement for any calender year shall be without
prejudice to the right of Lessor to furnish comparative statements for any
subsequent calender years.
Payment Credit
(e) The payment of any increase or credit for any decrease in rent
pursuant to the provisions of this Article 4 shall be made as follows:
On the first day for the payment of rent under this lease following the
furnishing of a comparative statement or notice (1) Lessee, in case of an
increase, shall pay to Lessor a sum equal to one-twelfth of such increase
multiplied by the number of months then elapsed commencing with the first day of
the preceding calender year and, in advance, one-twelfth of such increase in
respect of the then current month and Lessee, in the case of a decrease, shall
be entitled to a credit against rent next becoming due to a sum equal to
one-twelfth of such decrease multiplied by the number of months then elapsed
commencing with the first day of the preceeding calender year, and (2)
thereafter, until a different comparitive statement or notice shall be submitted
as above provided, the monthly installments of rent payable under this lease
shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, by an amount equal to
one-twelfth of such increase or decrease.
Under no circumstances shall any tenant be liable for any increase in
rent or shall be credited for any decrease in rent imposed for any period of
time prior to commencement of the lease to the tenant.
(f) In the event that a subsequent comparative statement shall show an
increase or decrease in rent which shall be different from that shown by the
last previous comparitive statement, then the rent payable by Lessee shall be
adjusted proportionately consistant with the foregoing provisions. Appropriate
credit shall be given for any refund less the costs and expenses incurred in
obtaining such refund obtained by reason of a reduction in the assessed
valuation by the Assessors or the Tax Commission or the Courts. The original
computations, as well as payments of additional rent, if any, or credit, if any,
under the provisions of the Article 4 shall be based on the original assessed
valuations with the adjustments to be made at a later date when the tax refund,
if any, shall be paid to Lessor by the taxing authorities.
{g) If Lessee shall dispute in writing any specific item or items
included by Lessor in any statement of the expenses for maintaining and
operating the building and/or the adjustment for ninety five percent (95%)
occupancy, and such dispute is not amicably settled between Lessor and Lessee
within ninety (90) days after statement therefor has been rendered, either party
may during the ninety (90) days next following the expiration of the first
mentioned ninety (90) days (upon written notice to the other party accompanied
by a copy of its letter of submission setting forth the items of dispute) refer
such disputed item or items to an independent nationally recognized certified
public accounting firm selected by the parties for decision and the decision of
such accounting firm shall be conclusive and binding upon Lessor and Lessee. The
expenses involved in such determination shall be borne by the party against whom
a decision is rendered by said accounting firm provided that if more than one
item is disputed and a decision shall be rendered against each party in respect
to any item or number of items so disputed the, the expenses shall be
apportioned according to the number of items decided against each party. Lessor
shall have the right, for a period of twelve months after the rendering of any
statements to send corrected statements to Lessee, and any rent adjustments
required thereby shall be made within (90) days thereafter. If Lessee shall not
so dispute any item or items of any such statement or corrected statement within
ninety (90) days after such statement or corrected statement has been rendered,
Lessee shall be deemed to have approved such statement or corrected statement.
Records
(h) Lessor shall keep and make available to Lessee's accountant for a
period of sixty (60) days after statements are rendered as provided in this
Article 4, records in reasonable detail of the matters included in the

such event Lessee shall pay Lessor for the cost of the installation thereof and

Subordination to Mortgages
9. Provided Lessee shall be provided with a standard non-disturbance
agreement from such Mortgagee,
This lease and all rights of Lessee hereunder are subject and subordinate
to all ground and/or underlying leases and to all trust indentures and
mortgages, blanket or otherwise, which do now or may hereafter affect the same
or the real property of which the demised premises form a part (and which may
also affect other property) and to any and all renewals, modifications,
consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. It is the intention of the
parties that this provision be self-operative and that no further instrument
shall be required to effect such subordination of this lease. Lessee shall,
however, upon demand at any time or times promptly execute, acknowledge and
deliver to Lessor, without expense to Lessor, any and all instruments that may
be necessary or proper to subordinate this lease and all rights of Lessee
hereunder to any such leases, indentures, and/or mortgages or to confirm or
evidence said subordination, and in the event that Lessee shall fail or neglect
so to execute, acknowledge and deliver any such subordination instrument or
certificate, Lessee covenants and agrees, in the event any proceedings are
brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage, to attorn to the purchaser
upon any such foreclosure sale and to recognize such purchaser as the lessor
under this lease or, in the event of the termination, for any reason whatsoever,
of any such underlying lease above referred to, that Lessee (at the option of
the holder of the reversion under such underlying lease to be evidenced by
written notice of election to Lessee) will attorn to and recognize such holder
as the then Lessor under this lease to the same extent and effect as the
original Lessor hereunder. Lessee agrees to execute and deliver at any time and
from time to time, upon the request of Lessor or of any such holder, any
instrument which, in the sole judgment of Lessor, may be necessary or
appropriate in any of such events to evidence such attornment. Lessor further
waives the provisions of any statute or rule of law, now or hereafter in effect,
which may give or purport to give Lessee any right or election to terminate or
otherwise adversely affect this lease and the obligation of Lessee hereunder in
the event any such foreclosure proceeding is brought, and agrees that this lease
shall not be affected in any way whatsoever by any such foreclosure proceeding.
Loss or Damage to Property
10. All personal property belonging to Lessee, its servants, employees,
suppliers, consignors, customers, licensees, located in or about the building or
demised premises shall be there at sole risk of Lessee and neither Lessor or
Lessor's agents shall be liable for the theft, loss or misappropriation thereof
nor for any damage or injury thereto, nor shall the Lessor be considered the
voluntary or involuntary bailee of such personal property, nor for damage or
injury to Lessee or any of its officers , agents or employees or to any other
persons or to any property caused by fire, explosion, water, rain, snow, frost,
steam, gas, electricity, heat or cold, dampness, falling plaster, sewers or
sewage, odors, noise, leaks from any part of said building or the roof, the
bursting or leaking of pipes, plumbing, electrical wiring and equipment and
fixtures of all kinds*, or by any act or neglect of other tenants or occupants
of the building or of any other person, or caused in any manner whatsoever, nor
shall Lessor be liable for any latent defect in the demised premises or in the
building. Lessee shall give immediate written notice to Lessor in case of fire
or accident in the demised premises or of any defects, damage or injury therein
or in any fixtures or equipment. Lessee will protect, indemnify and save
harmless Lessor from all losses, costs or damages sustained by reason of any act
or occurrence causing injury to any person and/or property whomsoever or
whatsoever, due directly or indirectly to the use of the premises or any part
thereof by Lessee. Lessee agrees to maintain such liability insurance as may be
required by the Lessor in amounts, coverage and companies acceptable to the
Lessor. In all such liability policies the Lessor shall be named as loss payee.
Proof of such insurance shall be submitted to the Lessor from time to time upon
request. Such policies shall further provide that the Lessor must be notified in
writing at least ten (10) days prior to the cancellation of any such policies.
The parties agree, however, that in no event shall any right of subrogation be
asserted against the other for any injury or damage suffered by either party
aforesaid, whether due to negligence or otherwise, and undertakes to have an
appropriate clause to the effect in all appropriate policies of insurance
carried by both parties and to exhibit such policies to the other upon request.
*except for loss arising from Lessor's negligence or willful misconduct.
Earlier Possession By Lessee
12. If permission is given to Lessee to enter into the possession of the
demised premises or to occupy premises other than the demised premises prior to
the first day of the term of this lease, Lessee covenants and agrees that such
occupancy shall be deemed to be under all the terms, covenants, conditions and
provisions of this lease, including as to the covenant to pay rent pro rata. In
any event, rent shall commence on the first day of the term. Taking possession
of the demised premises by Lessee shall be conclusive evidence as against Lessee
that the premises were in good order and satisfactory condition when Lessee took
possession. This lease does not grant any right to light or air over property,
and Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any expense, injury, loss or
damages, resulting from work done in or upon, or by reason of the use of, any
adjacent or nearby building, land, street or alley.

casualty, the damage shall be repaired by and at the expense of Lessor and the

visitors or licensees (without prejudice to any other rights and remedies of
Lessor), there shall be no abatement or apportionment of rent. Lessor shall
incur no liability on account of any delay in the completion of such repairs
which may arise by reason of adjustment of insurance, labor difficulties or any
other cause beyond Lessor's control. If all or substantially all of the demised
premises or the building are wholly destroyed or become unfit for occupancy as a
result of fire or other cause or casualty, Lessor may elect, by written notice
to Lessee within ninety (90) days after the casualty date (a) to terminate this
lease as of the date when the demised premises or building became unfit for
occupancy; or (b) to repair, restore or rehabilitate the building or demised
premises (at the expense of Lessor) commencing within ninety days after Lessor

which latter event the lease shall not terminate but rent shall be abated on a
per diem basis while the premises. are unfit for occupancy, If Lessor elects to
repair, restore and rehabilitate the building and the demised premises, but if
same shall not be able to be repaired and restored to substantially their former
condition within one year after the date of the casualty (delays caused by
adjustment of insurance, labor difficulties or other causes beyond Lessor's
control to be excluded from such computation). Either party shall have the right
the right to terminate this lease as of the casualty date by written notice to
the other within Thirty (30) days after the occurence. In the event of such
termination of this lease, Lessee's liability for rent shall cease as of the
date the premises or the building were made unfit for occupany. If the lease
shall be terminated pursuant to this Article, Lessee shall promptly vacate the
premises and surrender the same to Lessor. If the damage or destruction be due
to the fault or neglect of Lessee, the debris shall be removed at the expense of
Lessee.

agrees to pay pursuant to this lease shall at Lessor's election be treated as
additional rent and, in the event of nonpayment, Lessor shall have the rights

of condition. If Lessee shall default in making any payment required to be made
by Lessee (other than the payment of rent required by Articles 2 and 4 hereof)
or shall default in performing any term, covenant or condition of this lease on
the part of Lessee to be performed hereunder, Lessor at Lessor's option may (but
shall not be obligated to) immediately or at any time thereafter on ten (10)

performed for the account of Lessee and expend such sum as may be necessary to
perform and fulfill such term, covenant or condition, and any and all sums so
expended by Lessor, with interest thereon at the rate of eight percent (8%) per
annum from the date of such expenditure, shall be and be deemed to be additional
rent, in addition to the Base Rent, and shall be repaid by Lessee to Lessor on
demand, but no such payment or expenditure by Lessor shall be deemed a waiver of
Lessee's default nor shall it affect any other remedy of Lessor by reason of
such default.

or under Lessee, any mechanic's or other lien or order for the payment of money

shall, at Lessee's own cost and expense, cause the same to be cancelled and
discharged of record within sixty (60) days after the date of filing thereof,

contained, any deficiency between the rent hereby reserved and/or convenanted to
be paid and the net amount, if any, of the rents collected on account of the
lease or leases of the demised premises for each month of the period which would
otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this lease. The failure of
Lessor to re-let the premises or any part or parts thereof shall not release or
affect Lessee's liability for damages. In computing such liquidated damages
there shall be added to the said deficiency such expenses as Lessor may incur in
connection with re-letting, such as legal expenses, reasonable attorneys' fees,
brokerage and for keeping the demised premises in good order or for preparing
the same for re-letting. Any such liquidated damages shall be paid in monthly
installments by Lessee on the rent day specified in this lease and any suit
brought to collect the amount of the deficiency for any month shall not
prejudice in any way the fights of Lessor to collect the deficiency for any
subsequent month by a similar proceeding. Lessor at Lessor's option may make
such alterations, repairs, replacements and/or decorations in the demised
premises as Lessor in Lessor's sole judgment considers advisable and necessary
for the purpose of re-letting the demised premises; and the making of such
alterations and/or decorations shall not operate or be construed to release
Lessee from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Lessor shall in no event be liable
in any way whatsoever for failure to re-let the demised premises, or in the
event that the demised premises are re-let, for failure to collect the rent
thereof under such re-letting, provided Lessor has acted in good faith. In the
event of a breach or threatened breach by Lessee of any of the covenants or
provisions hereof, Lessor shall have the right of injunction and the right to
invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if re-entry, summary pro-

ceeding and other remedies were not herein provided for. Mention in this lease
of any particular remedy shall not preclude Lessor from any other available
remedy, in law or in equity. Lessee hereby expressly waives any and all fights
of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of
Lessee being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Lessor
obtaining possession of the demised premises, by reason of the violation by
lessee of any of the covenants and conditions of this lease or otherwise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor shall make a good faith effort to mitigate
the Lessee's damages by procuring a substitute lessee for the premises utilizing
standards*.
No Waiver
20. (a) No receipt of money by Lessor from Lessee with knowledge of the
breach of any covenant or agree- meat of this lease, or after the termination
hereof, or after the service of any notice, or after the commencement of any
suit, or after final judgment for possession of the demised premises, shall be
deemed a waiver of such breach, nor shall it reinstate, continue or extend the
term of this lease or affect any such notice, demand or suit. Any demand upon
Lessee for rent, wheresoever and whenever made, after the same shall have become
due and payable under the provisions hereof shall have the same effect as though
made at the time and place such rent became due, any law to the contrary
notwithstanding.
(b) No delay on the part of Lessor in exercising any right, power or
privilege hereunder or to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the
strict performance of any covenant or condition of this lease, or of any part of
the Rules and Regulations described in Article 27 hereof, shall operate as a
waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege.
(c) No act done or thing said by Lessor or Lessor's agent shall constitute
a cancellation, termination or modification of, or eviction or surrender under,
this lease, or a waiver of any covenant, condition or provision hereof, nor
relieve Lessee of Lessor's obligation to pay the rents herein provided. Any
acceptance of surrender, waiver or release by Lessor and any cancellation,
termination or modification of this lease must be in writing signed by Lessor,
by its duly authorized officer. The delivery of keys to any employee or agent of
Lessor shall not operate as a surrender or as a termination of the lease, and no
such employee or agent shall have any power to accept such keys prior to the
termination of the lease.
(e) If there be any agreement between Lessor and Lessee providing for the
cancellation of this lease upon certain provisions or contingencies, and/or an
agreement for the renewal hereof at the expiration of the term first above
mentioned, the right to such renewal or the execution of a renewal agreement
between Lessor and Lessee prior to the expiration of such first mentioned term
shall not be considered an extension thereof or a vested right in Lessee to such
further term, so as to prevent Lessor from cancelling this lease and any such
extension thereof during the remainder of the original term hereby granted; such
privilege, if and when so exercised by Lessor, shall cancel and terminate this
lease and any such renewal or extension previously entered into between said
Lessor and Lessee or the right of Lessee to any such renewal or extension; any
right herein contained on the part of Lessor to cancel this lease shall continue
during any extension or renewal hereof; and any option on the part of Lessee
herein contained for an extension or renewal hereof shall not be deemed to give
Lessee any option for a further extention beyond the first renewal or extended
term.
(f) No failure by Lessor to enforce any of the said Rules and
Regulations against Lessee and/or any other lessee or occupant of the building
shall be deemed a waiver thereof. No provision of this lease shall be deemed
waived by Lessor unless such waiver be in writing signed by Lessor.
(g) No payment by Lessee or receipt by Lessor of a lesser amount than the
rent or additional rent herein stipulated and reserved shall be deemed to be
other than on account of the earliest stipulated rent or additional rent then
due and payable, nor shall any endorsement or statement or any check, or letter
accompanying any rent check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and
Lessor may accept the same without prejudice to Lessor's right to recover any
balance due or to pursue any other remedy in this lease provided.
Rights reserved by Lessor
21. Without abatement or diminution in rent. Lessor reserves and shall have
the following additional rights: provided that they do not unreasonably
interfere with the Lessee's use of the Premises.

arrangement and/or location of entrances, passageways, doors, doorways,
corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets, or other public parts of the building

address change of the building.

making of inspections, decorations, alterations, improvements and repairs, as

during the last nine (9) months of the term, or extended term, of this lease,

governmental requirement, may, at Lessor's own expense, make repairs,
alterations or improvements in or to the building or any part thereof and during
alterations, may close entrances, doors, windows, corridors, elevators or other
facilities, provided that such acts shall not unreasonably interfere with
Lessee's use and occupancy of the premises as a whole.
(e) To erect, use and maintain pipes and conduits in and through the
demised premises.
(f) To charge to Lessee any expense including overtime cost incurred
by Lessor in the event that repairs, alterations, decorating or other work in

without reduction or abatement of rent or incurring any liability to Lessee for
compensation.
(h) to grant to anyone the exclusive right to conduct any particular
business or undertaking in the building with the consent of the Lessee, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Lessor may exercise any or all of
the foregoing rights hereby reserved to Lessor without being deemed guilty of an
eviction, actual or constructive, or disturbance or interruption of Lessee's use
or possession and without being liable in any manner toward Lessee and without
limitation or abatement of rent or other compensation, and such acts shall have
no effect on this lease.
Entry by Lessor
23. If a representative of Lessee shall not be personally present to open
and permit an entry into said premises at any time when an entry shall be
necessary or permissible hereunder, Lessor or its agents *may enter by a master
key or may, if the circumstances so warrant, forcibly enter the same without
rendering Lessor or its agents liable therefor (provided that, during such
entry, reasonable care shall be accorded to avoid damage or injury to Lessee's
property), and without in any manner affecting the obligations and covenants of
this lease. Nothing contained in this Article however, shall be construed to
impose upon Lessee any additional obligations, responsibilities or liability
whatsoever for the care, supervision or repair of the building or premises or
any part thereof except as elsewhere in this lease provided. *in an emergency

or licensees shall be the cause, shall be repaired, restored and replaced
promptly by Lessee at its sole cost and expense, in quality and class at least
equal to the original work or installations, and to the satisfaction of Lessor.

collectible as additional rent or otherwise after rendition of a bill or
statement and payable simultaneously with the next monthly installment of rental
due and payable hereunder.
Lessee shall not place a load upon any floor of the premises exceeding the
floor load per square foot area which such floor was designed to carry and which
is allowed by law. Lessor reserves the right to prescribe the weight and
position of all safes which must be placed so as to distribute the weight.
Business machines and mechanical equipment shall be placed and maintained by and
at Lessee's expense in settings sufficient in Lessor's judgment to absorb and
prevent vibration, excess heat, noise and annoyance. Except as provided in
Article 14 hereof, there shall be no allowance to Lessee for a diminution of
rental value and no liability on the part of Lessor by reason of inconvenience,
annoyance or injury to business arising from Lessor, Lessee, or others making
any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements required or desirable to be
made in or to any public portion of the building or to any fixtures,
appurtenances or equipment thereof, or to the demised premises or the fixtures,
appurtenances, equipment thereof, provided that the same shall be done as
expeditiously and with as little inconvenience to Lessee as possible. There

bulky material or fixtures into or out of the building without Lessor's prior
written consent; and if any of the same shall require special handling by reason
of their bulk, weight, or otherwise, Lessee agrees to employ only persons
holding an appropriate license to perform said work, and that all work in
connection therewith shall comply with all requirements of law.

delayed in supplying any service expressly or impliedly to be supplied or is
unable to make, or is delayed in making any repairs, additions, alterations or
decorations or is unable to supply or is delayed in supplying any equipment or

been or are affected by war or other emergency, or by reason of any fire or
other casualty or act of God beyond Lessor's control.
Rules and Regulations

equipment be made or supplied by reason of Lessee's business, or the location of
partitions, trade fixtures, or other contents of the demised premises, or for
any other reason, or if any such changes, modifications, alterations, additional
sprinkler heads or other equipment, become necessary to prevent the imposition
of a penalty or charge against the full allowance for a sprinkler system in the

Continuation of 4(a)(iii) - Expenses: "Expenses for maintaining and
operating the building" shall mean those expenses paid or incurred by or on
behalf of the Lessor (whether directly or through independent contractors) in
respect of the operation, maintenance and management of the land and/or Building
and the sidewalks and areas adjacent thereto (hereinafter "Operation of the
Property") which, in accordance with the accounting practice used by the Lessor,
are properly chargeable to the Operation of the Property, together with and
including (without limitation) the cost of electricity (including any taxes paid
thereon) used in operating all Building equipment and servicing common areas of
the Building, which costs shall be determined (if such electricity is not
separately metered) on the basis of an electrical survey of such equipment and
common area facilities and the then prevailing rates, and financial expenses

deemed deducted from the Base Operating Expenses, and (2) if the Lessor is not

broker of the State of New Jersey, who shall be active in commercial retail
rentals in the Greater Paramus Area or an appraiser qualified as an M.A.I.

non-defaulting party. The two arbitrators appointed in either manner shall then
proceed to make the determination of Fair Market Rental for the renewal period
and the mutual decision of the two arbitrators shall be binding on the parties.
In the event of their inability to reach a result, they may select a third
arbitrator, who shall not have served previously in a similar capacity for, or
been employed by, either party. If the two arbitrators are unable to agree on a
third arbitrator, an then sitting Judge of the Superior Court of New Jersey

case may be.
39th: Electricity: In addition to other conditions of this lease to

energy consumed in the leased premises for the term. It is estimated that such
consumption will amount to an annual charge of $1.25 per square foot of leased
space. Pending determination of the amount consumed, the Lessee shall pay
estimated annual charge in monthly installments in advance as additional rent.
On or about the first anniversary of the commencement of the lease, and annually
thereafter during the term of the lease, Lessor, at the request of the Lessee,
or under its own volition, shall verify the Lessee's consumption for the
preceding period, by a method designated by Lessor, and generally accepted in
similar circumstances in the trade area (e.g., Certificate of Licensed
Electrical Engineer, engaging a recognized device for such purpose, such as
amprobe, or causing an electrical meter to be placed as required to make such
determination). The results of such determination shall be furnished to the
Lessee as soon as available, and the charges paid by Lessee during the
applicable preceding period shall be adjusted accordingly. All credits due
Lessee shall be made against rents next accruing and all credits due Lessor, if
any, shall be paid, within ten (10) days of billing. During the balance of the
then current cycle, the amount to be paid shall be estimated to be the same as
the final determination for the preceding cycle. All reasonable costs incurred
by Lessor to determine the amount of consumption shall be shared equally by the
Lessor and the Lessee.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 Summary of the Company and Significant Accounting Policies
Company Pinnacle Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) design,
manufacture and sell video post-production tools for high quality real time
video processing.
Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company's
first three fiscal quarters end on the last Friday in September, December and
March, respectively. For financial statement presentation, the Company has
indicated its fiscal quarters as ending on the month-end.
Cash and Marketable Securities The Company considers all highly liquid
investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of
purchase to be cash equivalents. Marketable securities consist principally of
government securities with maturities between three and eighteen months and are
carried at cost which approximates fair value. These investments are typically
short-term in nature and therefore bear minimal interest rate risk.
All investments are classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized
cost as the Company has both the positive intent and the ability to hold to
maturity. Interest income is recorded using an effective interest rate, with the
associated premium or discount amortized to "Interest income." Due to the
relatively short term until maturity, the fair value of marketable securities is
substantially equal to their carrying value as of June 30, 1997. Such
investments mature through December 1997.
Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or
market. Raw materials inventory represents purchased materials, components and
assemblies, including fully assembled circuit boards purchased from outside
vendors.
Property and Equipment Purchased property and equipment are recorded at cost.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the respective assets, generally three to five years. The
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed Of," effective as of the beginning of fiscal 1997. This adoption had
no material effect on the Company's financial statements.
Revenue Recognition Revenue on product sales is recognized upon shipment.
Warranty costs are accrued at the time sales are recognized. Provision is made
currently for estimated product returns and price allowances which may occur
under programs the Company has with certain distributors.
Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability
method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences
are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share Net income per share is computed using the weighted
average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents
outstanding using the treasury stock method. Dilutive common stock equivalents
include convertible preferred stock, stock options and warrants. Pursuant to
Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 83, common
stock issued for consideration below the assumed initial public offering (IPO)
price and stock options granted with exercise prices below the IPO price during
the 12-month period preceding the date of the initial filing of the Company's
IPO, even when antidilutive, have been included in the calculation of common
equivalent shares, using the treasury stock method based on the IPO price, as if
they were outstanding for all periods presented prior to the IPO date. The 1995
net income per share amounts are presented on a pro forma basis using the pro
forma weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common share
F-5
<PAGE>
equivalents outstanding during the period, after giving retroactive effect to
the automatic conversion of all series of preferred stock into shares of common
stock at the IPO date.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standards Board
recently issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No. 128 requires the
presentation of basic earnings per share ("EPS") and, for companies with complex
capital structures (or potentially dilutive securities, such as convertible
debt, options and warrants), diluted EPS. SFAS No. 128 is effective for annual
and interim periods ending after December 15, 1997. The Company has not yet
determined the impact of adopting SFAS No. 128.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 requires the reporting of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements. SFAS No. 130 is effective for annual and interim periods
beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company has not yet determined the impact
of adopting SFAS No. 130.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." The
Statement establishes standards for the way public business enterprises are to
report information about operating segments in annual Financial Statements and
requires those enterprises to report selected information about operating
segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. This Statement is
effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 31,
1997. The Company has not yet determined whether it has any separately
reportable business segments.
Stock-Based Compensation The Company adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" beginning with the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.
Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123, the Company continued to measure compensation
expense for its stock-based employee compensation plans using the intrinsic
value method prescribed by APB (Accounting Principles Board) Opinion Number 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and has provided in Note 6 pro forma
disclosures of the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the fair
value-based method prescribed by SFAS 123 had been applied in measuring
compensation expense.
Concentration of Credit Risk The Company distributes and sells its products to
end users primarily through a combination of independent domestic and
international dealers and original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"). The Company
performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and
generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains cash and cash
equivalents, short and long-term investments with various financial
institutions. Company policy is designed to limit exposure with any one
institution. As part of its cash and risk management process, the Company
performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the financial
institutions. The Company has not sustained material credit losses from these
institutions.
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements 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 and disclosure of contingent liabilities at
the date of financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 3 Acquisitions
In April 1997, the Company purchased the Deko titling systems product line and
technology from Digital GraphiX, Inc. The Company paid $5,270,000 in cash, and
assumed liabilities of $978,000. The assets acquired primarily included
intangible assets consisting of software in the development stage and existing
software. The Company acquired inventory and other tangible property of
$593,000; intangible assets including the Deko Brand name, work force-in-place,
and source code technology totaling $762,000; and in process research and
development of $4,894,000. The capitalized intangible assets and purchased
software are being amortized over a seven year period.
In June 1996, the Company purchased certain assets and liabilities from Gold
Disk Inc., a developer and marketer of software products for video editing and
assembly. The Company paid $4,412,000 in cash and assumed liabilities of
$161,000. The assets acquired primarily included intangible assets consisting of
software in the development stage and existing software. The Company acquired
inventory, accounts receivable, and other tangible property of $240,000;
intangible assets including the VideoDirector Brand name, user list, and source
code technology totaling $342,000; and in process research and development of
$3,991,000. The capitalized intangible assets and purchased software are being
amortized over a three year period.
To determine the value of the software in the development stage for both
acquisitions, the Company considered, among other factors, the stage of
development of each project, the time and resources needed to complete each
project, expected income and associated risks. Associated risks include the
inherent difficulties and uncertainties in completing the project and thereby
achieving technological feasibility and risks related to the viability of and
potential changes in future target markets.
Note 4 Commitments
The Company's future minimum commitments under all noncancelable leases at June
30, 1997 are $1,316,000, $1,316,000, $1,307,000, $1,228,000, $1,210,000 and
$1,151,000 for 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and thereafter, respectively. Rental
income from noncancelable subleases will be $305,000 and $40,000 for 1998 and
1999, respectively. Rent expense was $817,000, $343,000 and $256,000 for the
years ended June 30, 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.
Note 5 Shareholders' Equity
Common Stock In November 1994, the Company completed its initial public offering
(IPO) selling 2,395,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $21,682,000
after underwriting discounts and associated costs. In conjunction therewith,
1,551,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding were converted to 1,600,000
shares of common stock. In July 1995, the Company completed a public selling
offering selling an additional 1,810,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds
of $43,787,000 after underwriting discounts and associated costs.
Stock Repurchase Program In January 1997, the Board of Directors authorized a
stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to
750,000 shares of its common stock on the open market. Through June 30, 1997,
the Company has repurchased and retired 317,000 shares at an average purchase
price of $11.43 per share for a total cost of $3,627,000.
F-7
<PAGE>
Shareholder Rights Plan In December 1996, the Company adopted a Shareholder
Rights Plan pursuant to which one Right was distributed for each outstanding
share of common stock. Each Right entitles stockholders to buy one
one-thousandth of a share of Series A Participating Preferred Stock at an
exercise price of $65.00 upon certain events.
The Rights become exercisable if a person acquires 15% or more of the Company's
common stock or announces a tender offer that would result in such person owning
15% or more of the Company's common stock. If the Rights become exercisable, the
holder of each Right (other than the person whose acquisition triggered the
exercisability of the Rights) will be entitled to purchase, at the Right's
then-current exercise price, a number of shares of the Company's common stock
having a market value of twice the exercise price. In addition, if the Company
were to be acquired in a merger or business combination after the Rights became
exercisable, each Right will entitle its holder to purchase, at the Right's
then-current exercise price, common stock of the acquiring company having a
market value of twice the exercise price. The Rights are redeemable by the
Company at a price of $0.001 per Right at any time within ten days after a
person has acquired 15% or more of the Company's common stock.
Note 6 Employee Benefit Plans
Stock Option Plans The Company's 1987 Stock Option Plan (the "1987 Plan")
provides for the grant of both incentive and nonstatutory stock options to
employees, directors and consultants of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of
the 1987 Plan, after April 1997 no further shares are available for future
grants.
In September 1994, the shareholders approved the 1994 Directors' Option Plan
(the "Director Plan"), reserving 100,000 shares of common stock for issuance.
The Plan provides for the granting of nonstatutory stock options to non-employee
directors of the Company. Under the Director Plan, upon joining the Board, each
non-employee director automatically receives an option to purchase 5,000 shares
of the Company's common stock vesting over four years. Following each annual
shareholders meeting, each non-employee director receives an option to purchase
1,250 shares of the Company's common stock vesting over a twelve month period.
All Director Plan options are granted at an exercise price equal to fair market
value on the date of grant and have a ten year term. There were 75,000 and
80,000 shares available for grants under the Director Plan at June 30, 1997 and
1996, respectively.
In October 1996, the shareholders approved the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "1996
Plan"), reserving 370,000 shares of common stock for issuance thereunder. The
1996 Plan provides for grants of both incentive and nonstatutory common stock
options to employees, directors and consultants to purchase common stock at a
price equal to the fair market value of such shares on the grant dates. Options
pursuant to the 1996 Plan are generally granted for a 10-year term and generally
vest over a four-year period. At June 30, 1997, there were 325,000 shares
available for grant under the 1996 Plan. Subject to shareholder approval at the
1997 annual meeting of Shareholders, the Board of Directors approved increasing
the number of shares available for exercise by 365,000 shares.
In November 1996, the Board of Directors approved the 1996 Supplemental Stock
Option Plan (the "1996 Supplemental Plan"), reserving 350,000 shares of common
stock for issuance thereunder. The 1996 Supplemental Plan provides for grants of
nonstatutory common stock options to employees and consultants other than
officers and directors at a price determined by the Board of Directors. Options
pursuant to the 1996 Supplemental Plan are generally granted for a 10-year term
and generally vest over a four-year period. At June 30, 1997, there were 39,000
shares available for grant under the 1996 Supplemental Plan. In July 1997, the
Board of Directors increased the number of shares available for exercise by
500,000.
In addition to the above mentioned plans, an officer of the Company holds 73,000
options at an exercise price of $1.00 and 140,000 options at an exercise price
of $2.25, all of which are outside of the Plan and were exercisable as of June
30, 1997 and 1996.
Stock option activity under stock option plans was as follows:

Stock Compensation The Company has elected to follow APB Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". In October 1995, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" which established a fair value based method of accounting for
employee stock option plans. The Company has elected to adopt the disclosure
method of SFAS No. 123. The fair value of options at date of grant was estimated
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
Employee Stock Options Stock Purchase Plan
Year ended June 30, Year ended June 30,

Volatility 55.5% 55.5% 55.5% 55.5%
Dividend yield 0% 0% 0% 0%
Had compensation expense for the Company's stock based compensation plans been
determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income (loss) and net
income (loss) per share would have been as follows:

Net income (loss)

Earnings (loss) per share
As reported $ (2.02) $ 0.48
Pro forma $ (2.33) $ 0.31
Because the method of accounting prescribed by SFAS No. 123 has not been applied
to options granted prior to July 1, 1995, the resulting pro forma compensation
cost may not be representative of that to be expected in future years.
Retirement Plan The Company has a defined contribution 401(k) plan covering
substantially all of its domestic employees. Participants may elect to
contribute up to 15% of their eligible earnings to this plan (up to the
statutory maximum amount). The Company can make discretionary contributions to
the plan determined solely by the Board of Directors. The Company has not made
any such contributions to the plan to date.
Stock Purchase Plan The Company has a 1994 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the
"Purchase Plan") under which all eligible employees may acquire Common Stock at
the lesser of 85% of the closing sales price of the stock at specific,
predetermined dates. In April 1997, the shareholders increased the number of
shares authorized to be issued under the Purchase Plan to 350,000 shares, of
which 238,000 are available for issuance at June 31, 1997. Employees purchased
72,000, 34,000 and 6,000 shares for the years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively.

Note 10 Subsequent Events
On July 22, 1997, the Company signed a letter of intent to acquire the
miro Digital Video Products from miro Computer Products AG. In the anticipated
acquisition, the Company will acquire the assets of the miro Digital Video
Products group, including the miroVIDEO and miroMOTION product lines, certain
technology and other assets. The Company expects to pay approximately $15
million in cash, $5 million in common stock, assume liabilities of between $2
million and $3 million, and incur approximately $2 million in costs associated
with executing the transaction and integrating the businesses. The Company
anticipates that a significant portion of the purchase price will be charged as
in-process research and development and other non-recurring costs in the quarter
ending September 30, 1997. The agreement also includes an earnout provision in
which miro Computer Products AG will receive additional consideration equal to
50% of sales generated in excess of $37 million during the first twelve full
months following the acquisition as long as operating profits related to such
sales exceed 3% of sales, increasing to 85% of sales for those sales which
exceed $59 million during the same twelve month period. Any earnout payments
will be paid in common stock of the Company.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSES OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Certain Forward-Looking Information
Certain statements in this Management's Discussions and Analysis, elsewhere in
this Annual Report to Shareholders and in the Company's 1997 Annual Report on
Form 10-K into which this discussion and analysis is incorporated are
forward-looking statements based on current expectations, and entail various
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. Such risks and
uncertainties are set forth below under "Risks and Uncertainties." These
forward-looking statements include the last sentences of the paragraphs below
relating to "Engineering and Product Development" and "Sales and Marketing," the
"Expanding Product Line" section below under "Overview," the statements
regarding the Company's expected investment in property, machinery and equipment
under "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below, among others.
Overview
The Company designs, manufactures, markets and supports video
post-production tools for high quality real time video processing. The Company's
products are used to perform a variety of video manipulation functions,
including the addition of special effects, graphics and titles to multiple
streams of live or previously recorded video material. Pinnacle's strategy is to
leverage its existing market and technological position to continue to provide
innovative, real time, computer based solutions for three video post production
markets which the Company characterizes as the Broadcast, Desktop and the
Consumer video markets.
Broadcast Market
The Broadcast market generally requires very high technical performance
such as real time 10-bit processing, control of multiple channels of live video
and specialized filtering and interpolation. From the Company's inception in
1986 until 1994, substantially all of the Company's revenues were derived from
the sale of products into the Broadcast Market. The primary broadcast products
sold during fiscal 1997 were the Prizm and Flashfile family of products. In June
1997, the Company commenced shipment of DVExtreme and Lightning, two new Windows
NT based products designed to serve the traditional Broadcast market. The
introduction of the DVExtreme and Lightning is expected to slow or replace sales
of Prizm and FlashFile in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1998. The Broadcast
market accounted for approximately 25.4%, 26.1% and 43.3% of net sales in the
years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Desktop Market
The Company's Desktop products are designed to provide high quality
real time video manipulation capabilities for computer based video
post-production systems at significantly lower price points than broadcast
products. The Company's first desktop product was the Alladin, which commenced
shipment in June 1994. The Company further expanded the desktop product line
with the introduction of Genie in June 1996. The Desktop market accounted for
approximately 59.8%, 73.5% and 56.7% of net sales in the fiscal years ending
June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Consumer Market
The Company's Consumer products provide complete video editing
solutions which allow consumers to edit their home videos using their home PC,
camcorder and VCR. The Company's Consumer products are sold at lower price
points than the Company's other products and are sold as software packages or as
computer peripheral products. The Company entered the Consumer video editing
market by acquiring the VideoDirector product line from Gold Disk, Inc. in June
1996, and commenced shipment of its first internally developed consumer editing
product, the VideoDirector Studio 200, in March 1997. The Consumer market
accounted for approximately 14.8% and 0.4% of net sales in the fiscal years
ending June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Expanding Product Line
In April 1997, the Company purchased the Deko titling systems product
line and technology from Digital GraphiX, Inc. TypeDeko, in conjunction with
DVExtreme and Lightning furthers Pinnacle's strategy of offering an
interconnected family of Windows NT-based video production systems. In addition,
the Company hired 27
<PAGE>
employees from Digital Graphix to help support the ongoing development,
marketing and sales of the Deko product line. The Company paid $5.3 million in
cash, and assumed liabilities of $978,000 for the purchase of the Deko products,
technology and assets. The Company recorded an in process research and
development charge of $4.9 million, and incurred $315,000 related to the
integration of the Deko product line into the Company.
To further Pinnacle's strategy of providing an expanded line of easy to
use computer based video production products, in July 1997, the Company signed a
letter of intent to acquire the miro Digital Video Products from miro Computer
Products AG. In the anticipated acquisition, the Company will acquire the assets
of the miro Digital Video Products group, including the miroVIDEO and miroMOTION
product lines, certain technology and other assets. The Company expects to pay
approximately $15 million in cash, $5 million in common stock, assume
liabilities of between $2 million and $3 million, and incur approximately $2
million in costs associated with executing the transaction and integrating the
businesses. The Company anticipates that a significant portion of the purchase
price will be charged as in-process research and development and other
non-recurring costs in the quarter ending September 30, 1997. The agreement also
includes an earnout provision in which miro Computer Products AG will receive
additional consideration equal to 50% of sales generated in excess of $37
million during the first twelve full months following the acquisition as long as
operating profits related to such sales exceed 3% of sales, increasing to 85% of
sales for those sales which exceed $59 million during the same twelve month
period. Any earnout payments will be paid in common stock of the Company.
Pinnacle distributes and sells its products to end users through the
combination of independent domestic and international dealers, retail
distributors, OEMs and, to a lesser extent, a direct sales force. Sales to
dealers, distributors and OEMs are generally at a discount to the published list
prices. Generally, products sold to OEMs are integrated into systems sold by the
OEMs to their customers. The amount of discount, and consequently the Company's
gross profit, varies depending on the product and the channel of distribution
through which it is sold, the volume of product purchased and other factors.

Fiscal 1997 Compared to Fiscal 1996
Net Sales. The Company's net sales decreased by 18.8% to $37.5 million in fiscal
1997 from $46.2 million in fiscal 1996. The decrease was attributable to a
decline in sales of both Broadcast and Desktop products, partially offset by
<PAGE>
an increase in sales of Consumer products. The most significant decline in sales
was of desktop products to OEMs, in particular Avid. Sales to Avid were
approximately 26.4% and 43.3% of the Company's net sales for the years ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Sales outside of North America were
approximately 39.7% and 38.7% of the Company's net sales in fiscal 1997 and
1996, respectively.
Cost of sales. Cost of sales consists primarily of costs related to the
acquisition of components and subassemblies, labor and overhead associated with
procurement, assembly and testing of finished products, warehousing, shipping
and warranty costs. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 36.0% and
48.3% in fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively. The decrease in gross profit
percentage is due primarily to a significant charge to cost of sales totaling
$4.0 million relating primarily to inventory write downs.
Engineering and Product Development. Engineering and product development
expenses increased by 47.5% to $7.6 million in fiscal 1997 from $5.1 million in
fiscal 1996. The increases was primarily attributable to increased expenditures
in connection with the continued expansion of the Company's engineering design
teams and product development costs for DVExtreme, Lightning and VideoDirector
Studio 200. Engineering and product development expenses as a percentage of net
sales were 20.2% and 11.1% in fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Company
expects to continue to allocate significant resources to engineering and product
development efforts, including the Deko engineering team located in Paramus, New
Jersey.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses include compensation and
benefits for sales and marketing personnel, commissions paid to independent
sales representatives, trade show and advertising expenses and professional fees
for marketing services. Sales and marketing expenses increased by 42.2% to $12.7
million in fiscal 1997 from $8.9 million in fiscal 1996. The increase in sales
and marketing expenses was primarily attributable to promotional costs for the
introduction of several new Broadcast and Consumer video products. Sales and
marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales were 33.8% and 19.3% in fiscal
1997 and 1996, respectively. The Company expects to continue to allocate
significant resources to sales and marketing.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by
69.4% to $3.7 million in fiscal 1997 compared to $2.2 million in fiscal 1996.
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 9.9% and
4.7%, respectively. Included in general and administrative expenses in fiscal
1997 were $315,000 of non-recurring spending related to the acquisition of the
Deko group, and approximately $500,000 relating to the disposal of leasehold
improvements and other capital equipment, moving costs and rent overlap incurred
as a result of the move to the Company's new facility in Mountain View,
California.
In Process Research and Development. In April 1997, the Company purchased the
Deko titling systems product line and technology from Digital GraphiX, Inc. The
Company paid $5.3 million in cash, and assumed liabilities of $978,000. The
assets acquired primarily included inventory and other tangible property of
$593,000; intangible assets including the Deko Brand name, work force-in-place,
and source code technology totaling $762,000; and in process research and
development of $4.9 million. The in process research and development was
recorded as an expense during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997. The intangible
assets and purchased software are being amortized over a seven year period.
In June 1996, the Company purchased certain assets for $4.5 million from Gold
Disk, Inc., a developer and marketer of software products for video editing and
assembly. The assets acquired primarily included tangible assets of $240,000,
intangible assets including the VideoDirector Brand name, user list, and source
code technology totaling $342,000, and in process research and development of
$4.0 million. The in process research and development were recorded as an
expense during the fourth quarter of 1996. The intangible assets are being
amortized over a three year period.
Interest Income Net. Net interest income decreased 14.3% to $2.9 million in
fiscal 1997 from $3.3 million in fiscal 1996. The decrease was due to a decline
in cash and marketable securities as well as a decline in investment yields.
Cash was used by operations and by the repurchase of common stock.
<PAGE>
Income Tax Benefit (Expense). The Company recorded provisions for income taxes
of $2.4 million and $1.7 million for the fiscal years ended 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Included in income tax expense for the year ended June 30, 1997 is
a charge of $3,245,000 resulting from the establishment of a valuation allowance
against the Company's deferred tax asset due to significant operating losses in
the current year and the introduction of new products for which market
acceptance is uncertian. As of June 30, 1997, the Company has federal and state
net operating loss carryforwards of $3,065,000 and $1,349,000, respectively,
which expire from 2002 to 2012. The Company also has federal research and
experimentation and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of $886,000
which expire between 2006 and 2012, and state research and experimentation
credit carryforwards of $339,000 which have no expiration provision.
Fiscal 1996 Compared to Fiscal 1995
Net Sales. The Company's net sales increased by 108.0% in fiscal 1996 from $22.2
million fiscal 1995. The increase in net sales were primarily attributable to
the Alladin product, particularly to Avid. See "Overview." Sales outside of
North America were approximately 38.7% and 46.5% of the Company's net sales in
fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively. The decrease in sales outside of North
America was primarily attributable to the significant increase in sales of
Alladin to Avid's North American facility.
Cost of sales. Cost of sales consists primarily of costs related to the
acquisition of components and subassemblies, labor and overhead associated with
procurement, assembly and testing of finished products, warehousing, shipping
and warranty costs. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 48.3% and
49.1% in fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively. The decrease in gross profits
percentage of net sales was due primarily to an increase in sales to OEM
customers, which typically carry a lower gross profit percentage, partially
offset by increased efficiency due to higher production volume.
Engineering and Product Development. Engineering and product development
expenses increased by 113.7% to $5.1 million in fiscal 1996 from $2.4 million in
fiscal 1995. The increase in each period was primarily attributable to increased
expenditures in connection with the continued expansion of the Company's design
engineering team. Engineering and product development expenses as a percentage
of net sales were 11.1% and 10.8% in fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses include compensation and
benefits for sales and marketing personnel, commissions paid to independent
sales representatives, trade show and advertising expenses and professional fees
for marketing services. Sales and marketing expenses increased by 67.9% to $8.9
million in fiscal 1996 from $5.3 million in fiscal 1995. The increase in sales
and marketing expenses was primarily attributable to increased expenditures
related to continued promotion of the Alladin including expenditures for trade
shows, advertising creation and placement, professional fees for marketing
services and increases in the number of sales and marketing personnel. Sales and
marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales were 19.3% and 24.1% in fiscal
1996 and 1995, respectively. The decrease of sales and marketing as a percentage
of net sales was due primarily to the increase in sales through the OEM
distribution channel, in particular through Avid, which requires less direct
sales and marketing expenditures by the Company.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by
100.9% to $2.2 million in fiscal 1996 from $1.1 million in fiscal 1995. General
and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 4.7% and 4.9% in
fiscal 1996 and 1995. The increase in general and administrative expenses in
each period resulted from an increase in expenditures related to the overall
growth of the Company's operations including the Company's expanded facility in
fiscal 1995 and increased administrative costs associated with being a public
company.
In Process Research and Development. In June 1996, the Company purchased certain
assets for $4.5 million from Gold Disk, Inc., a developer and marketer of
software products for video editing and assembly. The assets acquired primarily
included tangible assets of $240,000, intangible assets including the
VideoDirector Brand name, user list, and source code technology totaling
$342,000, and in process research and development of $3,991,000. The intangible
assets are being amortized over a 3 year period.
<PAGE>
Interest Income (Expense), Net. Net Interest income increased to $3.3 million in
fiscal 1996 from $0.7 million in fiscal 1995. The increase was due to interest
earned on the investment of cash proceeds received from the Company's public
offerings in November 1994 and July 1995.
Income Tax Benefit (Expense). The Company recorded provisions for income taxes
of $1.7 million and $0.6 million for the fiscal year ended 1996 and 1995,
respectively, at effective rates of 32.0% and 20.2%, respectively. The Company's
general business credit carryforwards were estimated to be approximately $0.3
million for federal tax purposes, expiring in various amounts from 2006 through
2011.
Inflationary Impact
Since the inception of operations, inflation has not significantly
affected the operations results of the Company. However, inflation and changing
interest rates have had a significant effect on the economy in general and
therefore could affect the operating results of the Company in the future.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company completed its initial and follow-on public offerings in
November 1994 and July 1995 raising approximately $65.5 million, net of offering
expenses.
The Company's operating activities used $1.6 million in fiscal 1997,
provided $900,000 in fiscal 1996 and used $700,000 in fiscal 1995, respectively.
The cash used by operating activities during fiscal 1997 was the result of the
net loss of $14.9 million as adjusted by the acquired research and development
charge of $4.9 million, an increase in the valuation allowance on deferred tax
assets of $3.2 million, depreciation and amortization of $1.6 million, and a
loss on disposal of property and equipment of $448,000, partially offset by net
decreases in the components of working capital, primarily inventory. In fiscal
1996 cash provided by operating activities was the result of net income as
adjusted for the effects of depreciation and amortization, tax benefits from the
exercise of common stock options, partially offset by net increases in the
components of working capital.
During fiscal 1997, $3.9 million was invested in property and
equipment, compared to $1.8 million in fiscal 1996. The increase over the prior
year is primarily related to leasehold improvements, furniture and equipment for
the new Mountain View facility. The Company expects to continue to purchase
property and equipment, however at a reduced rate following the completion of
improvements to the Mountain View facility. Such capital expenditures will be
financed from working capital.
In January 1997, the Company's board of directors authorized a stock
repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to 750,000
shares of its common stock on the open market. Through June 30, 1997, the
Company had repurchased and retired approximately 317,000 shares of its common
stock in the open market at an average purchase price of $11.43 for a total cost
of $3,627,000.
In April 1997, the Company purchased the Deko product line and
technology, including the TypeDeko product from Digital GraphiX. The Company
paid $5.3 million in cash and assumed liabilities of $978,000 to consummate the
transaction. See "Overview."
In July 1997, the Company signed a letter of intent to acquire the miro
Digital Video Products from miro Computer Products AG. In the anticipated
purchase, the Company expects to pay approximately $15 million in cash, $5
million in common stock, assume liabilities of between $2 million and $3
million, and incur approximately $2 million in costs associated with executing
the transaction and integrating the businesses. The Company will also pay
additional consideration if certain revenue and profitability objectives are
achieved during the first twelve months following the acquisition. See
"Overview."
As of June 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of approximately
$57.7 million, including $32.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and $15.0
million in marketable securities. The Company believes that the existing cash
and cash equivalent balances as well as marketable securities and anticipated
cash flow from operations will be sufficient to support the Company's working
capital requirements for the foreseeable future.
<PAGE>
Risks and Uncertainties
Risks Associated with Acquisition. In July 1997, the Company signed a
letter of intent to acquire the miro Digital Video Products from miro Computer
Products AG. In the anticipated acquisition, the Company will acquire the assets
of the miro Digital Video Products Group, including the miroVIDEO and miroMOTION
product lines, certain technology and other assets. Anticipated benefits of the
acquisition will not be achieved unless the operations being acquired are
successfully combined with those of the Company in a timely manner. Such
combination will require substantial attention from management. The diversion of
the attention of management and any difficulties encountered in the transition
process could have a material adverse impact on the revenues and operating
results of the Company. The integration of the Digital Video Products Group will
also require integration of the newly acquired product offerings and the
coordination of the research and development and sales and marketing efforts of
the Digital Video Group and the Company. The difficulties of assimilation may be
increased by the necessity of coordinating geographically separated
organizations, integrating personnel with disparate business backgrounds and
combining two different corporate cultures. In addition, the process of
assimilating the Digital Video Products Group into the Company could cause the
interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, the activities of the Company's
business, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company. There can
be no assurance that the Company will realize any of the anticipated benefits of
the acquisition. In addition, the announcement and consummation of the
acquisition could cause customers and potential customers of the Company or the
Digital Video Products Group to delay or cancel orders for products as a result
of customer concerns and uncertainty over product evaluation, integration and
support. Such a delay or cancellation of orders could have a material adverse
effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the
Company. The Company anticipates that a significant portion of the purchase
price will be charged as in-process research and development and other
non-recurring costs in the quarter ending September 30, 1997. In addition, the
negotiation and implementation of the acquisition will result in aggregate
[pre-tax] expenses to the Company of approximately $2.0 million for costs
associated with executing the transaction and integrating the businesses.
Although the Company does not believe costs will exceed the aforementioned
amount, there can be no assurance that the Company's estimate is correct or that
unanticipated contingencies will not occur that could substantially increase the
costs of combining the operations of the miro Digital Video Products Group with
those of the Company. In any event, costs associated with the acquisition will
negatively impact the Company's results of operations in the quarter in which
the transaction closes, currently expected to be the quarter ending September
30, 1997.
Concentration of Sales With OEMs. The Company has been highly dependent
on sales of Alladin and Genie products through OEM's, in particular Avid
Technology, Inc. ("Avid"). This concentration of net sales subjects the Company
to a number of risks, in particular the risk that its operating results will
vary on a quarter to quarter basis as a result of variations in the ordering
patterns of the OEM customers. Variations in the timing of revenues can cause
significant fluctuations in quarterly results of operations. The Company's
results of operations have in the past and could in the future be materially
adversely affected by the failure of anticipated orders to materialize, by
deferrals or cancellations of orders, or if overall OEM demand were to decline.
For example, sales to Avid decreased sequentially for the quarters ended June
30, September 30, and December 31, 1996 contributing to the overall decline in
net sales for the Company during those same periods, and then sales to Avid
increased sequentially for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, and then again in
the quarter ended June 30, 1997. If orders from OEM customers, and in particular
Avid, were to decrease, the Company's business, operating results and financial
condition would be materially adversely affected.
Significant Fluctuations in Quarterly Operating Results. The Company's
quarterly operating results have in the past varied, and are expected to vary in
the future as a result of a number of factors, including the timing of
significant orders from and shipments to major OEM customers, in particular
Avid, the timing and market acceptance of new products or technological advances
by the Company and its competitors, the mix of distribution channels through
which the Company's products are sold, changes in pricing policies by the
Company and its competitors, the accuracy of resellers' forecasts of end user
demand, the ability of the Company to obtain sufficient supplies of the major
subassemblies used in its products from its subcontractors, the ability of the
Company and its subcontractors to obtain sufficient supplies of sole or limited
source components for the Company's products, and general economic conditions
both domestically and internationally. The Company's expense levels are based,
in part, on its expectations as to future revenue and, as a result, net income
would be disproportionately affected by a reduction in net sales.
<PAGE>
The Company experiences significant fluctuations in orders and sales,
due mainly to reduced customer purchasing activity during the summer months the
timing of major trade shows and the sale of consumer products in anticipation of
the holiday season. Sales usually slowdown during the summer months, especially
in Europe. The Company attends a number of trade shows which can influence the
order pattern of products shown at those shows including the National
Association of Broadcasters (NAB) convention held in April, the International
Broadcasters Convention (IBC) held in September and the COMDEX show held in
November of each year. The Company expects that its operating results will
fluctuate in the future as a result of these and other factors, including
changes in the rate of sales to OEM customers, in particular Avid, and the
Company's success in developing, introducing and shipping new products, in
particular DVExtreme, Lightning, and VideoDirector Studio 200. Due to these
factors and the potential quarterly fluctuations in operating results, the
Company believes that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of its results of
operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as
indicators of future performance.
Risks Associated with the Consumer Market. The Company recently entered
the Consumer market with the purchase of Video Director product in June 1996 and
began shipping the VideoDirector Studio 200 product in March 1997. In addition,
the Company expects to expend considerable resources to develop, market and sell
products into the consumer video market. The Company has limited prior
experience developing, marketing and selling products into this market which has
certain risks. Because the VideoDirector Studio 200 must be used with a personal
computer, a camcorder and a VCR not supplied by the Company, consumer acceptance
will be adversely affected to the extent end users experience difficulties
installing and using the VideoDirector Studio 200 with these components. The
Company has limited experience selling products through the consumer
distribution channel. To be successful in this market it is necessary that the
Company establish and maintain an effective consumer distribution channel
including consumer distributors, electronic retail stores and the ability to
effectively handle phone and Internet orders. Although the Company believes that
the consumer video market will continue to develop for products which offer
consumers the ability to edit home videos, there can be no assurance that this
market will continue to develop, or that the Company can successfully compete in
this market. There can also be no assurance that the Company will be able to
compete successfully against current and future competitors in the consumer
video market, and to the extent the Company is not successful with the
development, introduction and sale of products in this market segment, the
Company's business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely
affected.
Risks Associated with Recent Product Introductions. The Company is
critically dependent on the successful introduction, market acceptance,
manufacture and sale of its recently introduced products to increase revenues
and return to profitability. These products include the VideoDirector Studio 200
which is sold into the Consumer market and which began shipping in March 1997,
and DVExtreme and Lightning which are sold into the Broadcast market both of
which began shipping in June 1997. There can be no assurance that these products
will achieve significant market acceptance, and to the extent they do not, the
Company's business, operating results and financial condition could be
materially adversely affected. In addition, as is typical with any new product
introduction, quality and reliability problems may arise and any such problems
could result in reduced bookings, manufacturing rework costs, delays in
collecting accounts receivable, additional service warranty costs and a
limitation on market acceptance of the product.
Competition. The market for the Company's products is highly
competitive and is characterized by rapid technological change, new product
development and obsolescence, evolving industry standards and significant price
erosion over the life of a product. The Company anticipates increased
competition in all three markets into which Pinnacle products are sold: the
Broadcast, Desktop, and Consumer video production markets. In particular, the
consumer video production market in which VideoDirector Studio 200 competes is
an emerging market and the sources of competition are not yet well defined.
There are several established video companies that are currently offering
products or solutions that compete indirectly with VideoDirector Studio 200 by
providing some of the same features and video editing capabilities. In addition,
the Company expects that existing manufacturers and new market entrants will
develop new, higher performance, lower cost consumer video products that may
compete directly with VideoDirector Studio 200. The Company expects that
competition will intensify significantly as the market for consumer video
editing products develops. The Company expects that potential competition in
this market is likely to come from existing video editing companies, software
application companies, or new entrants into the market. Suppliers of existing
video editing equipment have the financial resources and technical know-how
<PAGE>
to develop products for the consumer video market. Suppliers of computer
application software also compete in the Consumer editing market. Increased
competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins and loss of market
share, all of which would materially and adversely affect the Company's
business, operating results and financial condition. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to compete successfully against current and future
competitors.
Dependence on Key Personnel. The Company's success depends in part upon
the continued service of its senior management and key technical personnel, none
of whom is bound by an employment agreement or the subject of key man life
insurance. The Company's success is also dependent upon its ability to attract
and retain qualified technical and managerial personnel. Significant competition
exists for such personnel and there can be no assurance that the Company can
retain its key technical and managerial employees or that it will be able to
attract, assimilate and retain such other highly-qualified technical and
managerial personnel as may be required in the future. There can be no assurance
that employees will not leave the employ of the Company and compete against the
Company, or that contractors will not perform services for competitors of the
Company. If the Company is unable to retain key personnel, its business,
operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Technological Change and Obsolescence: Risks Associated with
Development and Introduction of New Products. The video post-production
equipment industry is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving
industry standards and frequent new product introductions. The introduction of
products embodying new technologies or the emergence of new industry standards
can render existing products obsolete or unmarketable. The Company's future
operating results will depend to a considerable extent on its ability to
continually develop, introduce and deliver new hardware and software products
that offer its customers additional features and enhanced performance at
competitive prices. Inherent in this process are a number of risks. The
development of new, technologically advanced products is a complex and uncertain
process requiring high levels of innovation, as well as accurate anticipation of
technological market trends. Once a new product is developed, such as the
Companies most recently introduced products, VideoDirector Studio 200,
DVExtreme, and Lightning, the Company must rapidly bring it into volume
production, a process that requires accurate forecasting of customer
requirements and the attainment of acceptable manufacturing costs. The
introduction of new or enhanced products also requires the Company to manage the
transition from older, displaced products in order to minimize disruption in
customer ordering patterns, avoid excessive levels of older product inventories
and ensure that adequate supplies of new products can be delivered to meet
customer demand. For example, the Company expects that the introduction of
DVExtreme and Lightning will result in a significant decline in sales of Prizm
and Flashfile. In addition, since the Company's products are based in part on
proprietary, internally-developed software, delays in software development could
delay the ability of the Company to ship new products. The Company has
experienced delays in the shipment of new products in the past, and these delays
adversely affected sales of existing products and results of operations. Delays
in the introduction or shipment of new or enhanced products, the inability of
the Company to timely develop and introduce such new products, the failure of
such products to gain market acceptance or problems associated with new product
transitions could adversely affect the Company's business, operating results and
financial condition, particularly on a quarterly basis.
Dependence on Contract Manufacturers and Single Source Suppliers. The
Company relies on manufacturing subcontractors to manufacture major
subassemblies of the Company's products. The Company and its manufacturing
subcontractors are dependent upon single or limited source suppliers for a
number of components and parts used in the Company's products, including certain
key integrated circuits. The Company's strategy to rely on subcontractors for
major subassemblies and single source suppliers involves a number of significant
risks, including the loss of control over the manufacturing process, the
potential absence of adequate capacity, the unavailability of or interruptions
in access to certain process technologies and reduced control over delivery
schedules, manufacturing yields, quality and costs. In the event that any
significant subcontractor or single source suppliers were to become unable or
unwilling to continue to manufacture these subassemblies or provide critical
components in required volumes, the Company would have to identify and qualify
acceptable replacements. The process of qualifying manufacturing subcontractors
and suppliers could be lengthy and no assurance can be given that any additional
sources would be available to the Company on a timely basis. Any extended
interruption in the future supply of or increase in the cost of the
subassemblies manufactured by third party subcontractors could materially and
adversely affect the Company's business, operating results and financial
condition.
<PAGE>
Dependence on Resellers; the Absence of Direct Sales Force. The Company
distributes its products primarily through a network of dealers, original
equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and other resellers. Accordingly, the Company
is dependent upon these resellers to assist it in promoting market acceptance of
the Broadcast, Desktop, and Consumer video products. There can be no assurance
that these dealers, OEMs and retailers will devote the resources necessary to
provide effective sales and marketing support to the Company. The Company's
dealers and retailers are generally not contractually committed to make future
purchases of the Company's products and therefore could discontinue carrying the
Company's products in favor of a competitor's product or for any other reason.
Because the Company sells a significant portion of its products through dealers
and retailers, it is difficult to ascertain current demand for existing products
and anticipated demand for newly introduced products such as DVExtreme,
Lightning and Studio 200 regardless of the level of dealer inventory for the
Company's products. Moreover, initial orders for a new product may be caused by
the interest of dealers to have the latest product on hand for potential future
sale to end users. As a result, initial stocking orders for a new product, such
as DVExtreme, Lightning, and Studio 200 may not be indicative of long term end
user demand. In addition, the Company is dependent upon the continued viability
and financial stability of these dealers and retailers, some of which are small
organizations with limited capital. The Company believes that its future growth
and success will continue to depend in large part upon its dealer and retail
channels. Accordingly, if a significant number of its dealers and/or retailers
were to experience financial difficulties, or otherwise become unable or
unwilling to promote, sell or pay for the Company's products, the Company's
results of operations could be adversely affected.
Risks of Third Party Claims of Infringement. There has been substantial
industry litigation regarding patent, trademark and other intellectual property
rights involving technology companies. In the future, litigation may be
necessary to enforce any patents issued to the Company to protect trade secrets,
trademarks and other intellectual property rights owned by the Company, to
defend the Company against claimed infringement of the rights of others and to
determine the scope and validity of the proprietary rights of others. Any such
litigation could be costly and a diversion of management's attention, which
could have material adverse effects on the Company's business, operating results
and financial condition. Adverse determination in such litigation could result
in the loss of the Company's proprietary rights, subject the Company to
significant liabilities, require the Company to seek licenses from third parties
or prevent the Company from manufacturing or selling its products, any of which
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating
results and financial condition.
International Sales are Subject to a Number of Risks. Sales of the
Company's products outside of North America represented approximately 39.7%,
38.7% and 46.5% of the Company's net sales in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The Company expects that international sales will continue to
represent a significant portion of its net sales. International sales and
operations may also be subject to risks such as the imposition of governmental
controls, export license requirements, restrictions on the export of critical
technology, currency exchange fluctuations, generally longer receivable
collection periods, political instability, trade restrictions, changes in
tariffs, difficulties in staffing and managing international operations,
potential insolvency of international dealers and difficulty in collecting
accounts receivable. There can be no assurance that these factors will not have
an adverse effect on the Company's future international sales and, consequently,
on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.
