ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
We commenced operations in April 1988. Since incorporation, we have
designed, sourced and marketed high-speed VLSI semiconductor devices for public
and private network applications worldwide. We shipped our first product in 1990
and have increased our volume of shipments over the last ten years. Our product
development efforts have been focused on devices that meet the needs of public
and private network telecommunications and data communications equipment
providers that serve the worldwide public network, Internet and corporate wide
area network markets. Our devices are compliant with established standards in
these markets, including SONET/SDH, asynchronous/PDH and ATM/IP.
We derive our revenues from product sales principally to domestic and
international telecommunications and data communications equipment OEMs and to
distributors. Revenues are recognized on product shipment. Agreements with
certain distributors provide price protection and return and allowance rights.
In certain cases, we work with network equipment OEMs during their system design
phase with the goal of having our products designed into the OEMs' products. Our
sales cycle often extends over more than one year because of the long lead times
between the OEM's design to the start of volume shipments. We incur product
research and development expenses well before the generation of substantial
revenues from product sales to OEMs. A significant protion of our total revenues
has been, and is anticipated to be, derived from foreign sales. All foreign
sales are currently denominated in U.S. dollars. Our cost of revenues consists
primarily of the purchase cost of finished VLSI devices produced by third party
semiconductor manufacturers and amortization of product licenses. We intend to
continue to outsource all of our VLSI device fabrication requirements.
As of December 31, 1999 we had retained earnings of $1.2 million. Our
operating results are subject to quarterly and annual fluctuations as a result
of several factors that could materially and adversely affect profitability.
THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999
REVENUES
Total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 were $34.1 million,
representing a 107% increase over the $16.5 million recorded in the comparable
period of the prior year. Revenues included $33.6 million in product revenue and
$0.5 million in contract revenue from our newly acquired wholly own subsidiary,
EASICS NV. The increase in product revenue in the quarter is attributable to the
increase in the revenue across all three of its product lines, SONET/SDH,
asynchronous/PDH, and ATM/IP.
Page 8 of 17
<PAGE>
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit was $23.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000,
compared to $10.7 million in the corresponding period of the prior year. Gross
profit for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $42.2 million, compared to
$20.2 million in the corresponding period of the prior year. Gross margin was
69.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, compared to 64.8% for the quarter
ended June 30, 1999, gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was
68.8%, compared to 64.4% for the same period one year ago. The increase in gross
profit and margin is principally the result of lower costs resulting from
improved pricing from our vendors achieved as we purchased higher volumes of
products.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development expenses were 15.9% of total revenues for the
quarter ended June 30, 2000, compared to 20.2% of total revenues for the quarter
ended June 30, 1999; total research and development spending increased 62.5%, to
$5.4 million, for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, compared to $3.3 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 1999. In the six month period ended June 30, 2000,
research and development expenses were 16.1% of revenues as compared to 20.9%
for the same period one year ago. The increase in period-over-period expense,
was the result of our continued investment in research and development
activities. The decrease as a percentage of total revenues in the quarter was
attributable to the growth in revenues from the comparable period in the prior
year.
MARKETING AND SALES
Marketing and sales expenses were 13.0% of total revenues for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000, compared to 17.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999.
Marketing and sales expenses increased 55.7%, to $4.4 million, for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000, compared to $2.9 million for the quarter ended June 30,
1999. In the six month period ended June 30, 2000, marketing and sales were
13.6% of total revenues, compared to 17.6% for the same period in 1999. Total
spending increased 51.2% to $8.4 million for the six month period ended June 30,
2000 as compared to $5.5 million in the comparable period in 1999. The increase
in spending was primarily the result of the increase in marketing and sales
personnel, expansion of our distribution network as part of our continued
investment in its marketing and sales infrastructure and increased commissions
paid to manufacturers representatives attributable to the higher sales volumes.
The decrease as a percentage of total revenues in the quarter was attributable
to the growth in revenues from the comparable period in the prior year.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2000
increased to $1.5
Page 9 of 17
<PAGE>
million from $906,000 for the same quarter in the prior year and as a percentage
of total revenues decreased to 4.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2000,
compared to 5.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. The total spending for the
six month period ended June 30, 2000 increased 57% to $2.7 million from $1.7
million for the comparable period in 1999. In addition there were expenses of
$1.2 million in transaction costs related to the merger of EASICS NV completed
in May, 2000. The increase in period-over-period expense was the result of our
continued building of support in the general and administrative area. The
decrease as a percentage of total revenues in the quarter was attributable to
the growth in revenues from the comparable period in the prior year.
INTEREST INCOME, NET
Interest income, net of interest expense, was $1.7 million in the quarter
ended June 30, 2000, compared to $1.2 million in the corresponding period in
1999; for the six months ended June 30, 2000 interest income, net of interest
expense, was $3.2 million as compared to $1.8 million for the same period in
1999. The increase in interest income, net of interest expense, was primarily
the result of the increase in cash and investment balances between the two
periods, due to the cash generated from operations.
INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate for the first half of 2000 was 38.0%, compared to
an effective tax rate of 5.0% for the first half of 1999. The effective tax rate
for the second quarter of 2000 is consistent with the full year expectation. The
1999 rate reflects the benefit derived from the use of the Company's net
operating loss carry forwards to offset taxable income for federal and state
purposes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have financed our operations and met our capital requirements since
incorporation in 1988 primarily through private and public issuances of equity
securities, bank borrowings and cash generated from operations. Our principal
sources of liquidity as of June 30, 2000 consisted of $77.2 million in cash,
cash equivalents and short-term investments, $55.4 million in long term
investments and $10.0 million available under our working capital line of credit
and equipment line of credit provided by Silicon Valley Bank. As of June 30,
2000, we had no outstanding balance under these lines of credit. Pursuant to the
working capital and equipment financing agreements with Silicon Valley Bank, we
are restricted from further pledging our assets or granting additional security
interests in our assets.
In the first six months of 2000, we generated $17.7 million of cash from
operating activities, the result of net income of $14.4 million adjusted for
non-cash items of $3.2 million, offset by a net increase in working capital of
$0.2 million. Capital expenditures during this period totaled $4.7 million,
including purchases of computer equipment and software. Net cash provided by
financing activities consists of proceeds from the exercise of stock options of
$7.8 million.
Page 10 of 17
<PAGE>
We believe that existing cash resources and cash generated from operations
will fund necessary purchases of capital equipment and provide adequate working
capital at least through the end of 2000. However, there can be no assurance
that events in the future will not require us to seek additional capital in the
future or, if so required, that capital will be available on terms favorable or
acceptable us, if at all.
CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
From time to time, information provided by us, statements made by our
employees, or information included in our filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (including this Form 10-Q) may contain statements which are
not historical facts, so-called "forward-looking statements," which involve
risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are made pursuant to
the safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. Our actual future results may differ significantly from those
stated in any forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such
differences include, but are not limited to, the factors discussed below. Each
of these factors, and others, are discussed from time to time in our filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Potential Fluctuations in Operating Results. Our quarterly and annual operating
revenues, expenses and operating results may fluctuate due to a number of
factors including:
-the timing and cancellation of customer orders;
-market acceptance our products and our customers' products;
-competitive pressures on selling prices; and
-general economic conditions.
Management of Growth and Dependence on Key Personnel. We must attract and retain
highly qualified and well-trained personnel, including senior managers.
Competition for such employees is intense, and it may become increasingly
difficult for us to hire and retain such personnel.
We Depend on a Few Outside Fabrication Facilities. We do not own or operate a
VLSI circuit fabrication facility and depends upon seven foundries for most of
its semiconductor device requirements. We cannot be certain that we will be able
to renew or maintain contracts with these foundries on terms as favorable as
current contract terms. There are other significant risks associated with
reliance on a few outside foundries, including:
- the lack of assured semiconductor wafer supply and control over delivery
schedules;
Page 11 of 17
<PAGE>
- the unavailability of, or delays in obtaining access to, key process
technologies; and
- limited control over quality assurance, manufacturing yields and
production costs.
Dependence on Telecommunications, Internet and Data Communications Equipment
Markets. We derive virtually all of our product revenues from sales of products
for the telecommunications, Internet and data communications equipment markets,
which are characterized by intense competition, rapid technological change and
short product life cycles. Although the telecommunications, Internet and data
communications equipment markets have grown rapidly in the last few years, they
may not continue to grow, or a significant slowdown in these markets may occur.
Dependence on New Products and Process Technologies; Risk of Product Development
Delays. Our future success depends on our ability to develop new products that
use new process technologies, to introduce new process technologies into the
marketplace ahead of competition and to have our new process technologies
selected to be designed into products of leading manufacturers. Semiconductor
design, process methodologies and technologies are subject to rapid
technological change and requires large expenditures for research and
development and from time to time, we have experienced delays in completing the
development of new products.
Customer Concentration. Historically, a relatively small number of customers
have accounted for a significant portion of our total revenues in any particular
period and probably will continue to do so.
Our Success Depends on Intellectual Property. Our success depends in part on our
ability to obtain patents and licenses and to preserve other intellectual
property rights covering our products and development and testing tools. We
cannot ensure that:
- patents be will issued from currently pending or future applications;
- existing patents or any new patents will be sufficient in scope or
strength to provide meaningful protection or any commercial
advantage;
- foreign intellectual property laws will protect our intellectual
property rights; or
- others will not independently develop similar products, duplicate our
products or design around any patents issued to us.
In addition, we may be unknowingly infringing on the proprietary rights of
others and may be liable for that infringement, which could result in
significant liability.
Competition. The semiconductor industry is intensely competitive and is
characterized by factors likely to result in pricing pressures on our products.
Page 12 of 17
<PAGE>
Foreign Sales. We expect foreign sales to continue to account for a significant
percentage of revenues. A significant portion of total revenues, therefore, will
be subject to risks associated with foreign sales.
The Semiconductor Industry. We provide semiconductor devices to
telecommunications and data communications OEMs. The semiconductor industry is
highly cyclical and has been subject to significant economic downturns at
various times.
Our business could be harmed if we fail to adequately integrate the operations
of acquired businesses. Our management must devote substantial time and
resources to the integration of the operations of businesses we have acquired.
If we fail to accomplish this integration efficiently, we may not realize the
anticipated benefits of the transactions. In addition, we may engage in future
acquisitions that could harm our operating results, dilute our stockholders and
cause us to incur debt or assume contingent liabilities.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On May 9, 2000 we issued under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, 252,691 shares of common stock to the former stockholders of EASICS NV
in exchange for all of Easics outstanding shares. The exchange was made in an
offshore transaction, and the former Easics stockholders certified to us that
they were not U.S. Persons within the meaning of Regulation S. Offering
restrictions were implemented in connection with the transaction and the former
Easics stockholders received shares of TranSwitch common stock bearing a
restrictive legend. The shares issued to the former Easics stockholders were

Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk represents the risk of changes in value of a financial
instrument, derivative or non-derivative, caused by fluctuations in
interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. We have no
financial instruments that give it exposure to changes in foreign
exchange rates or equity prices. We have investments in money market
accounts, government securities and commercial paper that earn interest
income that is a function of the market rates. As a result we do have
exposure to changes in interest rates. For example if interest rates
were to decrease by one percentage point from the current levels, our
potential interest income for the remainder of calendar 2000 would
decrease by approximately $600,000.
