NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2000
1. Basis of presentation
The information at March 31, 2000 and for the three month periods ended March
31, 2000 and 1999, is unaudited, but includes all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) which the Company's management believes to be
necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Interim results are not
necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The accompanying financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1999.
2. Net income per share
The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No.128, "Earnings per Share." Basic net earnings (loss) per share is
computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated
using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent
shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist
of stock options.
3. Short-Term Investments
The Company considers highly liquid investments with maturities of three months
or less from the acquisition date of the instrument to be cash equivalents. The
Company invests from time to time its excess cash in high quality, auction rate
preferred securities. At March 31, 2000, the Company had no short-term
investments.
4. Inventories
Inventories consist of finished goods and work in process (in thousands):

7. Litigation
In January 1997, a patent infringement claim was brought against the Company by
Crystal Semiconductor, Inc. ("Crystal"), a susidiary of Cirrus Logic, in the
United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. The claim
alleges that the Company and Tritech Microelectronics International, Inc. and
its Singapore parent company, Tritech Microelectronics Pte, Ltd. (collectively
"Tritech") infringe three patents owned by Crystal. These patents relate to the
analog-to-digital coder-decoder ("codec") module that was designed by Tritech
and incorporated into integrated PC audio chips formerly sold by the Company.
The suit seeks injunctive relief and damages.
A jury trial was held in this action from May 3-13, 1999. On May 17, 1999, the
jury returned a verdict that all of the asserted claims of the patents in suit
are valid and were infringed by the accused OPTi and TriTech products. The jury
further found that Tritech's infringement, but not OPTi's, was willful and
deliberate. The jury was asked to consider separately three different damages
allegations. The first was that Crystal lost profits because sales that it would
otherwise have made were in fact made by the defendants ("lost profits"). The
second was that the defendants' conduct had caused Crystal to reduce its selling
prices from what they otherwise would have been during the period of
infringement ("price erosion"). The third allegation was for the statutory
alternative to lost profits, a ("reasonable royalty"). The jury was asked to
consider these questions with respect to the defendants as a group and, of that
amount, to assign a specific portion to OPTi. The jury's verdict was as follows;
all defendants $48.5 million, OPTi's portion of that total $19.4 million.
Following the jury's verdict, the parties have made various motions for
judgment. OPTi has moved for the entry of judgment, as a matter of law, that
Crystal did not prove its entitlement to price erosion damages, that the amount
of lost profits damages should be reduced, and that Crystal cannot recover both
lost profits and a reasonable royalty together. Crystal has moved for entry of
judgment in the amount found by the jury, plus prejudgment interest, compounded
quarterly (approximately $3.2 million is the OPTi portion).
On July 23, 1999, the United States District Court for the Western District of
Texas entered an Order and Judgment in the patent infringement action brought by
Crystal Semiconductor Corporation against OPTi, Inc., Tritech Microelectronics
Pte Ltd., a Singapore company, and TriTech Microelectronics International, Inc.,
its American marketing subsidiary. The Court's judgment substantially reduced
the amount of damages that a jury had awarded to Crystal against OPTi, from
$19.4 million to $4 million. This $4 million has been accrued in the Company's
financial statements.
The Court's Judgment also includes a permanent injunction against further
infringement, OPTi, however, is no longer in the audio chip business, having
sold its audio division to Creative Technology in November 1997.
7
<PAGE>
Following the entry of judgment, all three parties involved in the suit appealed
the judgment to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
Crystal appealed the judges decision to deny lost profits damages and price
erosion damages as awarded by the jury and the denial of prejudgment interest.
OPTi appealed the courts ruling on one of the patents at issue and the
interpertation of that patent by the court.
In response to the Company's announcement of its intention to pay a dividend in
cash to its shareholders of four dollars per share, Crystal requested in the
Santa Clara County Superior Court of California that The Company stipulate to
preserve additional assets in order to pay a potential judgment should Crystal
prevail on appeal of the post-trial rulings in the Texas litigation. On November
3, 1999, the Court entered a Stipulation and Order Regarding Payment of Dividend
obligating the Company to maintain and preserve assets in an amount not less
than $24,000,000, "until such time as the judgment in the Texas litigation,
after resolution of any appeals therein, is satisfied in full by the Company or
until such time as Crystal's claims against the Company in the Texas Litigation
are settled, released or waived by Crystal."
A March 1994 Development Agreement between the Company and TriTech
Microelectronics International PTE LTD states that Tritech shall "fully and
effectively indemnify, defend and save harmless" the Company against any claim
that the products at issue in this action infringe the intellectual property
rights of others. However, in May 1999, TriTech Microelectronics, Pte, Ltd.
filed a "Petition For Judicial Management Order" in the High Court of the
Republic of Singapore, on the grounds that TriTech is "unable to pay its debts"
including its obligations to indemnify OPTi from Crystal's claim for damages.
The Order for a Judicial Manager to be appointed for TriTech was granted on July
2, 1999. OPTi is in the process of filing a claim with the Judicial Managers in
regards to the imdemnification agreement.
If Crystal prevails in its appeal and Tritech is unable to reimburse the Company
due to its filing for Judicial Management, the results would have a material
adverse effect on Opti's financial position, results of operations, and cash
flow.
In September 1998, Crystal Semiconductor filed a second suit against the Company
and Does 1 through 1050 in the Superior court of the State of California. This
suit is a complaint to set aside fraudulent transfers, the sale of its audio
business and the stock repurchase program that the Company started and completed
in the summer of 1998, and for preliminary and permanent injunction, against the
Company divesting itself of its assets. On May 21, 1999, the Court signed a
Stipulation and Order entered into by OPTi and Crystal vacating the Preliminary
Injunction Hearing set for June 3, 1999. This Stipulation and Order obligates
OPTi to maintain and preserve liquid assets available, in an amount not less
then the verdict against OPTi, plus costs and interest, in the underlying patent
litigation between Crystal and OPTi. Based on the judgment entered into the
Texas court a new Stipulation and Order was entered into by the party whereas
the amount of liquid assets to be maintained and preserved was reduced to the
amount of the court judgment.
8. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results, such as the amount that it will ultimately incur as a result of
the Crystal litigation and related recoveries from Tritech, could differ from
those estimates.
9. Taxes
The Company's tax provision recorded for the three month ended March 31, 2000,
relates primarily to the federal alternative minimum tax.
10. Comprehensive Income/(Loss)
Comprehensive loss for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and
1999 was equal to net loss.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Results of Operations
Information set forth in this report constitutes and includes forward looking
information made within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may
differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward looking
statements as a result of a number of factors, including product mix, the
ultimate resolution of pending litigation, the Company's ability to obtain or
maintain design wins, market conditions generally and in the electronics and
semiconductor industries, product development schedules, competition and other
matters. Readers are encouraged to refer to "Factors Affecting Earnings and
Stock Price" found below in this Item 2.
The Company currently competes principally in the embedded and USB controller
marketplaces. From the Company's inception through 1995, the Company's principal
segment had been desktop core logic. However, with increasingly aggressive
competion in this area, primarily from Intel Corporation, the Company revised
its strategy and focus on market opportunities where the Company had strategic
advantages. This led the Company to focus on the mobile core logic and embedded
marketplaces where the Company experienced some success in the past few years.
The Company's strategy, at this time is to license its core logic technology
that it has developed during its history and to look for areas where the Company
can either develop or acquire technology for emerging markets in the high
performance PC segment, increase sales in existing global markets and strengthen
its industry relationships. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2000, the
Company entered into a one-time licensing arrangement for $13,500,000 on its
core logic technology. In addition, the Company has continued, and is
continuing, its efforts to maximize shareholder value through restructuring of
the Company's business and assets.
Net revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 2000 of $15,354,000 included
net license revenues of $13,311,000 resulting from a one-time non-exclusive
licensing fee concerning OPTi patents. For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the
Company reported net product sales of $2,043,000, as compared to net product
sales of $7,156,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The decrease in net
sales for the three month period ending March 31, 2000, as compared to the three
month period ending March 31, 1999, was due primarily to reductions in sales for
the Company's core logic chipsets used in various mobile product designs.
Cost of sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 decreased to $1,393,000
resulting in a gross margin of approximately 31.8%, as compared to cost of sales
of $4,565,000, and a gross margin of approximately 36.2% for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of sales for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the similar period ended
March 31, 1999 is primarily due to the larger percentage of older, end of life
products sold during the first quarter of 2000, as well as overhead costs being
a higher percentage of sales due to the lower product revenue during 2000 versus
1999.
Research and development costs decreased to $319,000 for the quarter ended March
31, 2000, as compared with $2,095,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. In
January 2000, the Company had a reduction in staff as it made the decision to
terminate all design efforts on its newer products, such as the LCD product. As
of March 31, 2000, the Company had one research and development person, who
conducts virtually all of the Company's product development with the assistance
of outside contractors.
Selling, general, and administrative costs were $1,310,000 in the quarter ended
March 31, 2000 as compared with $1,988,000 in the comparable period of 1999. The
decrease in selling, general, and administrative costs for the three-month
period ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the three-month period ending March
31, 1999 is primarily attributable to lower headcount related expenses and lower
legal expenses during the period.
Interest and other income, net was $504,000 and $708,000 for the quarters ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease in the first quarter of 2000
as compared to the first quarter of 1999 is primarily due to the
9
<PAGE>
dividend paid by the Company in the fourth quarter of 1999 of $46,484,000, which
reduced the cash available for investment.
The Company's tax provision recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2000,
relates primarily to the federal alternative minimum tax.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments increased to $38,044,000 at
March 31, 2000 from $23,722,000 at December 31, 1999. Working capital for the
same period increased to $32,478,000 from $19,682,000 at December 31, 1999.
During the first three months of 2000, operating activities generated $14.2
million of cash. Cash generated from operating activities was primarily due to
the Company's net license revenue as well as an $889,000 reduction in other
assets due to the collection of an other receivable, a $653,000 reduction in
accounts receivable and a $424,000 reduction in payables, both caused by a
reduction in net sales and expenses, partially offset, by a $301,000 decrease in
accruals (primarilly compensation) and a $139,000 increase in inventory.
Investing and financing activities had a minimal effect on cash flow during the
first quarter of 2000.
At March 31, 2000, the Company's principal sources of liquidity included cash,
cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $38.0 million and
working capital of approximately $32.5 million. The Company believes that its
existing sources of liquidity will satisfy the Company's projected working
capital and other cash requirements through at least the next twelve months.
Factors Affecting Earnings and Stock Price
Fluctuations in Operating Results
The Company has experienced significant fluctuations in its quarterly operating
results in the past and expects that it will experience such fluctuations in the
future. In the past, these fluctuations have been caused by a variety of factors
including increased competition from Intel and other suppliers, price
competition, ongoing rapid price declines, changes in customer demand, the
timing of delivery of new products, inventory adjustments, changes in the
availability of foundry capacity and changes in the mix of products sold. In the
future, the Company's operating results in any given period may be adversely
affected by one or more of these factors.
Price Competition
The market for the Company's products are subject to severe price competition
and price declines. There can be no assurance that the Company will succeed in
reducing its product costs rapidly enough to maintain or increase its gross
margin level or that further substantial reduction in chipset prices will not
result in lower profitability or losses.
10
<PAGE>
Changes in Customer Demand
The Company currently places non-cancelable orders to purchase products from
independent foundries, while its customers generally place purchase orders with
a significantly shorter lead time which may be canceled without significant
penalty. In the past, the Company has experienced order cancellations and
deferrals and expects that it will experience cancellations in the future from
time to time. Any such order cancellations, deferrals, or a shortfall in a
receipt of orders, as compared to order levels expected by the Company, could
have a significant adverse effect on the Company's operating results in any
given period.
Product Transitions and the Timing and Delivery of New Products
A substantial majority of the Company's net product sales is derived from its
mobile core logic products. The market for mobile core logic products is
characterized by frequent transitions in which products rapidly incorporate new
features and performance standards. A failure to develop products with required
feature sets or performance standards or a delay as short as a few months in
bringing a new product to market could significantly reduce the Company's net
sales for a substantial period, which would have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Continued Sales of Current Products
The Company's ability to maintain or increase its sales levels and profitability
depends directly on its ability to continue to sale its existing products at
current volumes. The Company, after its decision to terminate all new product
development in January 2000, will have no new product introductions for the
foreseeable future. Any inability to continue sales at the current level could
have an immediate and very significant adverse effect on the trading price of
the Company's stock. Investors in the Company's securities must be willing to
bear the risks of such fluctuations.
Each of the product segments in which the Company offers new products are
intensely competitive and the Company must compete with entrenched competitors
who have established greater product breadth and distribution channels. The
introduction of new products can result in a greater than expected decline and
demand for existing products and create an imbalance between products ordered by
customers and products which the Company has in inventory. This imbalance can
result in surplus or obsolete inventory, leading to write-offs or other
unanticipated costs or disruptions.
Customer Concentration
The Company primarily sells product to PC, motherboard, and add-in card
manufacturers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers
but does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential
credit losses, and such losses have been within management's expectations. The
Company expects that sales of its products to a relatively small group of
customers will continue to account for a high percentage of its net product
sales in the foreseeable future, although the Company's customers in any one
period will continue to change.
However, there can be no assurance that any of these customers or any of the
Company's other customers will continue to utilize the Company's products at
current levels, if it all. The Company has experienced significant changes in
the composition of its major customer base and expects that this variability
will continue in the future. At this time the Company is not shipping any
products to either Compaq and its subcontractors or Apple and its
subcontractors. The loss of any major customer or any reduction in orders by any
such customer could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.
The Company has no long-term volume commitments from any of its major customers
and generally enters into individual purchase orders with its customers. The
Company has experienced cancellations of orders and fluctuations in order levels
from period to period and expects it will continue to experience such
cancellations and fluctuations in the future. Customer purchase orders may be
cancelled and order volume levels can be changed or delayed with limited or no
penalties. The replacement of cancelled, delayed or reduced purchase orders with
new business cannot
11
<PAGE>
be assured. Moreover, the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations will depend in significant part on its ability to obtain orders from
new customers, as well as on the financial condition and success of its
customers. Therefore, any adverse factors affecting any of the Company's
customers or their customers could have a material effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operation.
Credit Risks
Many of the Company's customers, particularly the motherboard manufacturers in
Taiwan, operate at very low profit margins and undertake significant inventory
risks. To the extent the Company provides open terms of credit to some of the
larger of these customers, the Company is exposed to significant credit risks if
these customers are unable to remain profitable. Approximately 4% of the
Company's receivables at March 31, 2000 were with these customers.
Dependence on Foundries and Manufacturing Capacity
Almost all of the Company's products are manufactured by outside foundries
pursuant to designs provided by the Company. In most instances, the Company
provides foundries with a custom-tooled design ("Custom Production"), whereby
the Company receives a finished die from the foundry which it sends to a third
party for cutting and packaging. This process subjects the Company to the risk
of low production yields as the die moves through the production and packaging
process. The Company's reliance on independent foundries, packaging houses, and
test houses involves several risks, including the absence of adequate capacity,
the unavailability of or interruptions in access to certain process technologies
and reduced control over delivery schedules, manufacturing yields and costs. At
times during the second half of 1999 and the first quarter of 2000, the Company
was unable to meet the demand for certain of its products due to limited foundry
capacity and the Company expects that it will experience other production
shortfalls or difficulties in the future.
Because the Company's purchase orders with its outside foundries are
non-cancelable by OPTi, the Company is subject to risks of, and has in the past
experienced, excess or obsolete inventory due to an unexpected reduction in
demand for a particular product. The manufacture of chipsets is a complex
process and the Company may experience short-term difficulties in obtaining
timely deliveries, which could affect the Company's ability to meet customer
demand for its products. Should any of its major suppliers be unable or
unwilling to continue to manufacture the Company's key products in required
volumes, the Company would have to identify and qualify acceptable additional
foundries. This qualification process could take up to six months or longer. No
assurances can be given that any additional sources of supply could be in a
position to satisfy any of the Company's requirements on a timely basis. The
semiconductor industry experiences cycles of under-capacity and over-capacity
which have resulted in temporary shortages of products in high demand. Any such
delivery problems in the future could materially and adversely affect the
Company's operating results.
The Company began using Custom Production in 1993. Custom Production requires
that the Company provide foundries with designs that differ from those
traditionally developed by the Company in its gate array production and which
are developed with specialized tools provided by the foundry. This type of
design process is inherently more complicated than gate array production and
there can be no assurance that the Company will not experience delays in
developing designs for Custom Production or that such designs will not contain
bugs. To the extent bugs are found, correcting such bugs is likely to be both
expensive and time consuming. In addition, the use of Custom Production requires
the Company to purchase wafers from the foundry instead of finished products. As
a result, the Company is required to increase its inventories and maintain
inventories of unfinished products at packaging houses. The Company is also
dependent on these packaging houses and its own internal test functions for
adequate capacity.
Dependence on Intellectual Property Position
The success of the the Company's current strategy of licensing its core logic
technology can be affected by new developments in intellectual property law
generally and with respect to semiconductor patents in particular and upon the
Company's success in defending its patent position. It is difficult to predict
developments and changes in intellectual property law in advance, however
such changes could have an adverse impact on the Company's ability to license
its previously developed technology.
Possible Volatility of Stock Price
There can be no assurances as to the Company's operating results in any given
period. The Company expects that the trading price of its common stock will
continue to be subject to significant volatility.
