Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (Interim Financial Statements) include the accounts of Electronics For Imaging, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial statements and accounting policies, consistent, in all material respects, with those applied in preparing our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The December 31, 2006 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included herein was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, these unaudited Interim Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments management considers necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, operating results and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by requiring a tax position be recognized only when it is more likely than not that the tax position, based on its technical merits, will be sustained upon ultimate settlement with the applicable tax authority. The tax benefit to be recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the applicable tax authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. FIN 48 is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2006, and we adopted FIN 48 in the first quarter of 2007. Upon adoption of FIN 48, we recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of approximately $4.8 million to decrease accrued tax liabilities and increase opening retained earnings in the first quarter of 2007.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“ SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). This statement establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The provisions of SFAS 157 should be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which SFAS 157 is initially applied, except in limited circumstances. We expect to adopt SFAS 157 beginning January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157 on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 157. We expect to adopt SFAS 159 beginning January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 159 on our consolidated financial statements.

2. Stock-based Compensation

In June 2007, the Special Committee of the Board of Directors completed an independent comprehensive review of the Company’s stock option granting practices and made certain findings with respect to these practices. Based on these findings, management concluded that incorrect measurement dates were used for certain stock option grants in prior periods, resulting in a restatement of certain periods’ financial statements, as more fully detailed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”), using the modified prospective transition method.

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options, employee stock purchases and restricted stock under SFAS 123(R) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 (in thousands):

   $ 3,984     $ 4,631     $ 13,064     $ 11,269  
                                

Valuation Assumptions

Our determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by various assumptions including volatility, expected term and interest rates. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock over a preceding period commensurate with the expected term of the option. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we utilize the “simplified” method described in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin, “Share-Based Payment” (“SAB 107”), to determine the expected term of our options. Using this method, the expected term is estimated by taking the weighted average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the option. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected dividend yield was not considered in the option pricing formula since we do not pay dividends and have no current plans to do so in the future.

The estimated per share weighted average fair value of options granted and ESPP shares issued and the assumptions used to estimate fair value are shown below for the periods indicated:

No stock option grants were made during the three months ended September 30, 2007. No grants were made under the employee stock purchase plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as the plan was suspended effective November 9, 2006 due to the independent investigation of our historical stock option granting practices.

Aggregate intrinsic value for restricted stock units expected to vest represents the closing price per share of our common stock on the last trading day of the fiscal period, multiplied by the number of restricted stock units expected to vest at September 30, 2007.

Tender Offer

Based on the independent investigation of our historical stock option granting practices conducted by the Special Committee of our Board of Directors, we determined that certain compensatory stock options were granted with an exercise price lower than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Any such stock options which had not vested prior to January 1, 2005, absent amendment, would be subject to substantial additional taxes under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and analogous state laws.

On October 23, 2007, we filed a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with the SEC with respect to stock options which were determined to have been granted with a below fair market value exercise price. The terms of the tender offer provide that each eligible stock option tendered will be amended to increase the exercise price to the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date determined in the independent investigation in exchange for a cash bonus in an amount equal to the aggregate exercise price increase for such stock option payable in January 2008, less applicable tax withholding. Assuming all eligible stock options are tendered, we expect to pay an aggregate of approximately $0.3 million pursuant to such cash bonuses in January 2008.

4. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Net income (loss) per basic common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding unvested restricted stock. Net income (loss) per diluted common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding common stock options having a dilutive effect using the treasury stock method, from the unvested shares of restricted stock using the treasury stock method and from the potential conversion of our senior convertible debentures (the “Debentures”). In addition, in computing the dilutive effect of the senior convertible debentures, the numerator is adjusted to add back the after-tax amount of interest and amortized debt-issuance costs recognized in the period associated with the Debentures. Any potential shares that are anti-dilutive as defined in SFAS 128, “Earnings per Share”, are excluded from the effect of dilutive securities.

6. Income taxes

For the third quarter of 2007, we recorded a tax benefit of $0.9 million compared to a tax provision of $38.1 million for the same period in 2006. The tax provision for the third quarter of 2007 included a tax benefit of $1.1 million related to a one-time bonus payment to employees related to the temporary suspension of our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) program and a tax charge of $0.8 million due to our reassessment of taxes resulting from the filing of our 2006 federal and state income tax returns. The tax provision for the third quarter of 2006 included a charge of $34.9 million related to the migration of the non-North American VUTEk and chipset product lines to our European headquarters in addition to a charge of $0.2 million due to our reassessment of taxes resulting from the filing or our 2005 federal and state income tax returns. Our effective tax rate on the third quarter’s pre-tax income for 2006, without the discrete charges and benefits above, was 29%. The decrease in our third quarter’s tax provision in 2007 compared to 2006, without the discrete charges and benefits described above, is due primarily to the temporary expiration of the federal research and development credit in the first three quarters of 2006 and increased permanently invested foreign earnings in 2007.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recorded a tax benefit of $2.4 million compared to a tax provision of $45.6 million for the same period in 2006. In addition to the discrete charges described above, the tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 included a tax benefit of $0.9 million related to both U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 409A payments made on employees’ behalf and a valuation allowance release related to compensation deductions that are no longer anticipated to be limited by U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). In addition to the discrete charges described above, the tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 included a charge of $2.9 million related to the sale of the Mobile Workforce Automation (“MWA”) assets and a benefit from a reduction of $0.4 million in tax reserves, established in prior years on income from foreign operations, since these reserves are no longer needed.

Primary differences in 2007 and 2006 between our recorded tax provision rate and the US statutory rate of 35% for the periods above include tax benefits associated with credits for research and development costs for 2007 only, lower taxes on permanently invested foreign earnings, and the tax effects of charges related to stock-based compensation recorded pursuant to SFAS 123(R), which is non-deductible for tax purposes.

Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by requiring a tax position be recognized only when it is more likely than not that the tax position, based on its technical merits, will be sustained upon ultimate settlement with the applicable tax authority. The tax benefit to be recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the applicable tax authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 has been recorded as an increase of $4.8 million to retained earnings, and a decrease of $1.1 million and $5.9 million in goodwill and taxes payable respectively.

As of September 30 and January 1, 2007, the total amount of unrecognized benefits was $30.3 million and $25.6 million, of which $27.9 million and $22.6 million would affect the effective tax rate, if recognized. Included in the September 30, 2007 and January 1, 2007 balances are $2.4 million and $3.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits arising from business combinations that, if recognized, would be recorded as an adjustment to goodwill and would not affect the effective tax rate. Over the next twelve months, our existing tax positions will continue to generate an increase in liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits.

We recognize potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. At September 30 and January 1, 2007 we have accrued $1.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, for potential payments of interest and penalties.

As of September 30 and January 1, 2007, we were subject to examination by both the US federal and state tax jurisdictions for the 2002-2006 tax years and the Netherlands for 2005-2006 tax years. We are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the 2002 through 2004 tax years. It is reasonably possible that the audit for the years 2002 to 2004 will conclude in 2007. Although the timing and outcome of tax settlements are uncertain, it is reasonably possible a reduction in the unrecognized tax benefits may occur in the range of $5.5 million to $7.2 million. Amounts totaling $2.5 million to $3.5 million of the reduction in unrecognized tax benefits, if settled in our favor, would positively impact our effective tax rate, and be recognized as additional tax benefits in our statement of operations. The reduction in unrecognized tax benefits relates primarily to intercompany cost allocations and the research and development credits.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

As more fully discussed below, from time to time, we may be involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings relating to contractual disputes, securities law, intellectual property, employment matters and other claims or litigation matters relating to various claims that arise in the normal course of our business. We determine whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. We assess our potential liability by analyzing our specific litigation and regulatory matters using available information. We develop our views on estimated losses in consultation with inside and outside counsel, which involves a subjective analysis of potential results and outcomes, assuming various combinations of appropriate litigation and settlement strategies. Because of the uncertainties related to both the amount and ranges of possible loss on the pending litigation matters, we are unable to predict with certainty the precise liability that could finally result from a range of possible unfavorable outcomes. However, taking all of the above factors into account, we reserve an amount that we could reasonably expect to pay for the cases discussed. However, our estimates could be wrong, and we could pay more or less than our current accrual. Litigation can be costly, diverting management’s attention and could, upon resolution, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

Leggett & Platt, Inc. and L&P Property Management Company v. VUTEk, Inc.:

In May 2005, prior to EFI’s acquisition of VUTEk, Leggett & Platt, Inc. (“L&P’), and its patent holding subsidiary brought a patent infringement action against VUTEk in the United States District Court in the Eastern District of Missouri. After conducting extensive discovery, EFI moved for summary judgment that the asserted patent is invalid and not infringed. After several months of reviewing the evidence, on December 26, 2006, the Court granted EFI’s summary judgment motion and ruled that all of L&P’s asserted patent claims were invalid on multiple grounds. The Court found that each asserted patent claim was obvious and already disclosed in VUTEk’s own prior patents. In addition to those two grounds for invalidity, the Court also found L&P’s patent claims invalid because the L&P patent claims were vague and indefinite in view of the patent claim interpretations suggested by L&P. The Court also granted EFI’s motion to recover its costs from L&P. L&P filed a notice of appeal, and EFI moved to dismiss the appeal for lack of proper certification from the trial court. The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C. granted EFI’s motion and dismissed L&P’s first appeal. After obtaining a final certification from the trial court, L&P filed a new notice of appeal.

On November 6, 2007, EFI filed a complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief challenging the validity and enforceability of L&P’s newly issued patent which is a continuation of L&P’s originally asserted patent. EFI firmly believes that the Court should summarily invalidate the claims of this patent for the same reasons it invalidated the L&P’s original patent claims. Further, EFI believes that L&P’s failure to adequately disclose to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office the proceedings in the previous lawsuit amounts to inequitable conduct that should render the new patent unenforceable. While EFI does not believe that its products infringed either of these patents, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.

Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) Export Investigation:

In January 2005, prior to EFI’s acquisition of VUTEk, the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) initiated an investigation of VUTEk relating to VUTEk’s alleged failure to comply with U.S. export regulations in connection with several export sales to Syria in 2004. EFI self-initiated an internal compliance review of historical export practices for both VUTEk and EFI. Potential violations uncovered during our compliance review were voluntarily disclosed to BIS in November 2006 (for VUTEk) and December 2006 (for EFI). Additionally, we provided BIS with detailed reports of our compliance review findings and supplemental information in March 2007 (for VUTEk) and May 2007 (for EFI). The areas of possible non-compliance found in the internal review relate to: (1) deemed exports of controlled encryption source code and/or technology to foreign nationals of Syria and Iran, (2) exports of printers and other products with encryption functionality before completion of encryption reviews by BIS and (3) statistical reporting errors on some export declarations. At present, we believe that these matters will be resolved solely with administrative penalties. However, there is no assurance that these matters will not have an unforeseen outcome that could impair our ability to export product outside of the United States and Canada.

Purported Derivative Shareholder Lawsuits:

On August 16, 2006, a purported derivative shareholder complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo captioned Parish v. Avida et al., No. CIV 457013. A substantively identical complaint was filed in the same court on September 11, 2006 captioned Fennimore v. Avida et al., No. CIV 457566. These actions were consolidated as In re Electronics For Imaging, Inc. Derivative Litigation, Master File No. 457013. The consolidated complaint filed December 18, 2006,

alleged claims – derivatively and on behalf of the Company as nominal defendant – against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and/or directors and sought redress for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by and unjust enrichment of the individual defendants. Plaintiffs claimed that, from 1994 to 2003, the defendants colluded to improperly backdate stock option grants to various officers and directors in violation of the Company’s stock option plans. Further, Plaintiffs claimed that the individual defendants colluded to improperly record and account for the allegedly backdated options in violation of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and to produce and disseminate statements that improperly recorded and accounted for the options and concealed the allegedly improper backdating. According to plaintiffs, the Company has suffered damage as a result of the individual defendants’ alleged misconduct, and the recipients of the options have allegedly garnered unlawful profits. On January 30, 2007 the court entered a stipulated order dismissing the consolidated action and, on February 2, 2007, plaintiffs filed a similar complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California captioned Parish et al. v. Avida et al., No. C07-00698.

On November 22, 2006, another purported derivative shareholder complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo captioned City of Ann Arbor Employees’ Retirement Association v. Gecht et al., No. CIV 459145. The complaint asserted derivative claims against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and/or directors, alleging that the director defendants breached their fiduciary duty by improperly manipulating certain stock option grants between 1996 and 2003, thereby violating the terms of the Company’s stock option plan, causing the Company to issue false and misleading financial statements and proxy statements, and unjustly enriching the executives who received the subject option grants. The complaint also purported to be brought on behalf of a class consisting of all others similarly situated and alleges a class claim for breach of the fiduciary duty of disclosure. On December 5, 2006 the case was removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and, on March 9, 2007, the court denied plaintiff’s motion to remand the case back to state court. On April 3, 2007 the court granted plaintiff’s motion to voluntarily dismiss its complaint. Plaintiff re-filed its complaint in Delaware Chancery Court on April 9, 2007.

On November 27, 2006 a purported derivative shareholder complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California captioned Indiana State District Council of Laborers and Hod Carriers Pension Fund v. Gecht et al., No. C-06-7274(EMC). Similar to the derivative allegations asserted in the previously-filed complaints, the plaintiff alleges that, between 1997 and 2006, the individual defendants improperly manipulated the grant date of certain stock option grants and made false or misleading statements regarding such grants. Plaintiff claims that the individual defendants’ alleged misconduct violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as California and Delaware law. On March 22, 2007, the court issued an Order consolidating this action with the Parish action. On April 12, 2007 Parish and Fennimore were appointed lead plaintiffs and their attorneys lead counsel. On July 25, 2007 the Court granted plaintiffs’ unopposed motion to stay the action in deference to the litigation pending in Delaware (described below).

On March 15, 2007 a complaint was filed in Delaware Chancery Court captioned Denver Employees Retirement Plan v. Gecht et al., No. 2797. The complaint asserts derivative claims against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and/or directors, alleging that the director defendants breached their fiduciary duty by improperly manipulating certain stock option grants between 1996 and 2003, thereby violating the terms of the Company’s stock option plan, causing the Company to issue false and misleading financial statements and proxy statements, and unjustly enriching the executives who received the subject option grants. The complaint also purported to be brought on behalf of a class consisting of all others similarly situated and alleges a class claim for breach of the fiduciary duty of disclosure. On May 9, 2007, the court granted the parties’ proposed order consolidating the Denver and Ann Arbor cases, designating the Denver complaint as the operative complaint, and appointing the named plaintiffs lead plaintiffs and their counsel lead counsel. Defendants have moved to dismiss the action.

Durst Fototechnik Technology GmbH v. Electronics for Imaging, GmbH et al.:

On February 23, 2007, Durst brought a patent infringement action against EFI GmbH in the Mannheim District Court in Germany. On May 10, 2007, EFI GmbH filed its Statement of Defenses. These defenses include lack of jurisdiction, non-infringement, invalidity and unenforceability based on Durst’s improper actions before the German patent office. EFI Inc. filed its Statement of Defense on August 29, 2007. EFI Inc.’s defenses include those for EFI GmbH as well as an additional defense for prior use based on EFI’s own European patent rights. Trial has been set in Mannheim for November 30, 2007. EFI will continue to defend itself vigorously. While EFI does not believe that its products infringed this patent, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.

Acacia Patent Litigation:

On August 8, 2007, Screentone Systems Corporation, a subsidiary of Acacia Technologies Group, initiated litigation against several defendants, including Konica Minolta Printing Solutions, Canon USA, and Ricoh Americas, for infringement of a patent related to apparatus and methods of digital halftoning in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. Konica Minolta, Canon and Ricoh are EFI customers. While the complaint does not identify any accused products nor reference EFI directly, at least one defendant has notified EFI that Acacia representatives have communicated that at least one basis for its infringement claim is based on certain EFI Fiery products. EFI has contractual obligations to indemnify its customers to varying degrees and subject to various circumstances. At least one defendant has written requesting indemnification for any EFI products that allegedly infringe these patents. While EFI does not believe that its products infringed this patent, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.

Tesseron Patent Litigation:

On September 26, 2007, Tesseron, Ltd. initiated litigation against Konica Minolta Business Solutions USA, Konica Minolta Business Technologies and Konica Minolta Holdings for infringement of eight patents related to variable printing technology in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division. Konica Minolta is an EFI customer and the complaint references EFI Fiery variable data enabled printer controllers. Additionally, Tesseron has on multiple occasions over the past 4 years sent threatening letters to EFI. Tesseron failed to reply to each of EFI’s requests for a dialogue until recently and that meeting was unproductive with Tesseron refusing to explain its infringement contentions. EFI has contractual obligations to indemnify its customers to varying degrees and subject to various circumstances. Konica Minolta has written requesting indemnification for any EFI products that allegedly infringe these patents.

On October 30, 2007, EFI filed a complaint against Tesseron in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint seeks a declaratory judgment that Tesseron’s patents are invalid and/or not infringed. EFI also seeks to prevent Tesseron and its attorneys from threatening EFI or its OEM customers with infringement of those patents, or bringing a lawsuit claiming infringement with regard to such products. EFI will vigorously pursue this action in order to demonstrate that its variable data printing products do not infringe any valid claim of Tesseron’s patents. While EFI does not believe that its products infringed any of these patents, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.

Nasdaq Delisting Proceedings:

Due to the Special Committee investigation, we were unable to file on a timely basis with the SEC our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2007 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2007. On November 15, 2006, we received a Nasdaq staff determination notice stating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) due to our failure to timely file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006, and that our securities were, therefore, subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Stock Market. We received additional Nasdaq staff determination notices with respect to our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007.

We requested and subsequently attended a hearing before the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the staff determination and presented a plan to cure the filing deficiencies and regain compliance. The Panel granted our request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market, subject to certain conditions which we were unable to meet because of the then-ongoing independent investigation of our historical stock option grants. As a result, the Panel notified us that it had determined to delist our securities, which ordinarily would have resulted in the suspension of our securities effective on May 17, 2007. However, the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Listing Council”), pursuant to its discretionary authority under Marketplace Rule 4807(b), called for review the decision of the Panel regarding our case and stayed any action by the Panel to suspend our securities from trading on The Nasdaq Global Select Market pending further action by the Listing Council.

On July 2, 2007, we provided the Listing Council with an additional submission for its consideration, and requested that the Listing Council exercise its discretionary authority, pursuant to Marketplace Rule 4802(b), in favor of granting us an additional extension to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s filing requirement, as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14).

We do not have separate operating segments for which discrete financial statements are prepared. Our management makes operating decisions and assesses performance primarily based on the marketplace acceptance of our products, which is typically measured by revenues.

Information about Geographic Areas

We report revenues by geographic areas based on ship-to destinations. Shipments to some of our OEM customers are made to centralized purchasing and manufacturing locations, which in turn sell through to other locations. As a result of these factors, we believe that sales to certain geographic locations might be higher or lower, as accurate data is difficult to obtain.

9. Subsequent Events

Convertible Debt – Purported Compliance Deficiency Cured

On June 29, 2007 and October 22, 2007, we received notices of a purported compliance deficiency from the trustee under the indenture governing our $240 million, 1.50% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2023 (the “Debentures”). These notices reference certain requirements to file with the trustee copies of annual and quarterly reports that we are required to file with the SEC, specifically our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, our Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

 

March 31, 2007 and our Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007. On November 10, 2006, we received a similar notice from the trustee related to the delay in filing of our Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2006. The trustee did not accelerate the maturity of the Debentures, but reserved the right to seek the remedies allowed in the indenture.

As of December 31, 2006 we reclassified the convertible debt from non-current liabilities to current liabilities. As of September 30, 2007, we continued to be delinquent in our SEC filings. We filed with the SEC, on October 19, 2007, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, and on October 22, 2007, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007. With the filing of these reports, we believe the Company has returned to full compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements and all debt covenants. The debt will continue to be classified as a current liability, however, as it is subject to call on June 1, 2008 under the original provisions of the indenture agreement.

Common Stock Repurchase Program

In connection with our investigation of our historical stock option grant practices, we suspended our common stock buyback program in August 2006. Effective October 22, 2007, we lifted the suspension on our stock repurchase program. For a discussion of the restatement of our consolidated financial statements and the Special Committee investigation of historical stock option practices, refer to Note 2, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements” of Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Revenue

We currently classify our revenue into three categories. The first category, “Controller”, includes products and technology which connect digital copiers with computer networks, and is primarily made up of stand-alone controllers and embedded desktop controllers, bundled solutions and design-licensed solutions primarily for the office market and commercial printing. This category primarily includes our Fiery series, Splash, Edox, and MicroPress color products, and black and white server products and spare parts, and other server-related revenue. The second category, “Inkjet Products”, consists of sales of the super-wide format inkjet printers and inks, and parts and services revenue from the VUTEk and Jetrion businesses. The third category, “Advanced Professional Print Software”, or APPS, consists of software technology focused on printing workflow, print management information systems, proofing and web submission and job tracking tools and software options available on our controller products.

On a sequential basis, the revenue performance in the third quarter of 2007 decreased by $4.1 million, or 3% compared to second quarter of 2007 results. Controller revenue decreased 7% on a sequential basis from the previous quarter. The Inkjet Products category increased by 4% while the APPS category decreased by 2% in the third quarter of 2007 over the second quarter of 2007.

Revenues by Product Category

For the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, revenues by product category were as follows (in thousands):

For the third quarter of 2007, revenue increased by 15% versus the same quarter in the prior year, primarily due to increases in Inkjet Products due to continued robust demand in Europe and the Americas and recently introduced products. Controller revenues were approximately even when compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Revenues for the third quarter of 2007 were lower than revenues for the second quarter of 2007 due to slower than expected sell-through by an OEM customer. Inkjet Products contributed 36% of our total revenue for the third quarter of 2007 as compared to 34% for the second quarter of 2007. Revenue from the Inkjet Products category increased by 36% in the third quarter of 2007, compared to the third quarter of 2006. The increase is due to continued success of the QS series of UV printers, and the acquisition of Jetrion on October 31, 2006. APPS revenues increased by 24% as compared to the third quarter of 2006 and were comparable to the second quarter of 2007 due to the strength of software products that complement the Controller business.

Our total revenue increased $57.4 million, or 14% to $468.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $411.2 million in the same period of 2006. Controller revenues increased by 6% and represented 24% of the year-on-year growth in revenue driven by strong demand in the first six months of 2007 primarily due to product introductions with some of our significant OEM customers. Inkjet Product revenues increased by $34.2 million, or 27%, and represented 60% of the year-on-year growth in revenue due to the strength in customer demand discussed above. APPS revenues increased by 16% compared to the prior year due to the strength of the software products that complement the Controller business.

Revenues by Geographic Area

Europe accounted for 80% of the overall increase in revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006, due to increased revenue in all product lines. The majority of the increase was in the Inkjet business, which has slightly benefited from a weak U.S. dollar.

The $8.5 million decrease in revenues in Japan is due to lower demand for Controller products as compared to the same period in 2006 due to slower sell-through by an OEM customer. However, revenues have increased by 34% in Japan as compared to the second quarter of 2007. This was mainly due to increased Controller revenues.

The following table shows revenue by geographic area for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 (in thousands):

The $57.4 million increase in total revenues, or 14%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006, consisted of increased revenues from the Americas and from Europe, partially offset by decreased revenues from Japan and from other international locations.

Table of Contents

The $8.1 million decrease in Japan revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006, is primarily due to decreased controller demand during the three months ended September 30, 2007.

Shipments to some of our OEM customers are made to centralized purchasing and manufacturing locations which in turn sell through to other locations, making it difficult to obtain accurate geographical shipment data. Accordingly, we believe that export sales of our products into each region may differ from what is reported. We expect that sales outside of the U.S. will continue to represent a significant portion of our total revenue.

A substantial portion of our revenue over the years has been attributable to sales of products through our OEM customers and independent distributor channels. Three customers – Canon, Konica Minolta and Xerox – each provided more than 10% of our revenue individually and in the aggregate, approximately 43% and 47% for the three month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The decreasing trend in OEM dependency is attributable to the addition of the Inkjet Products business where most of the revenue is generated from sales to distributors and direct customers. No assurance can be given that our relationships with these and other significant OEM customers will continue or that we will be successful in increasing the number of our OEM customers or the size of our existing OEM relationships. Several of our OEM customers have reduced their purchases from us at various times in the past and any customer could do so in the future as there are no contractual obligations by most of our OEMs to purchase our products at all, or in significant amounts. Such reductions have in the past and could in the future have a significant negative impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. We expect that if we increase our revenues from Inkjet products and our professional printing applications, the percentage of our revenue that comes from individual OEMs will continue to decrease.

We continue to develop new products and technologies for each of our product lines including new generations of server and controller products and other new product lines and to distribute those new products to or through current and new OEM customers, distribution partners, and end-users in 2007 and beyond. No assurance can be given that the introduction or market acceptance of current or future products will be successful.

To the extent sales of our products do not grow over time in absolute terms, or if we are not able to meet demand for higher unit volumes, it could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. There can be no assurance that any products that we introduce in the future will successfully compete, be accepted by the market, or otherwise effectively replace the volume of revenue and/or income from our older products. Market acceptance of our software products, products acquired through acquisitions and other products cannot be assured.

We also believe that in addition to the factors described above, price reductions for all of our products will affect revenues in the future. We have previously reduced and in the future will likely reduce prices for our products. Depending upon the price-elasticity of demand for our products, the pricing and quality of competitive products, and other economic and competitive conditions, such price reductions have had and may in the future have an adverse impact on our revenues and profits.

Gross Margins

The gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was 58% compared to 59% for the same period in 2006. This decrease in gross margin is mainly attributable to the increase in Inkjet revenues from 30% of revenues in 2006 to 36% in revenues in 2007. The decrease in overall margins tends to be based on the mix of revenues as Inkjet margins tend to be below Controller and APPS margins. As Inkjet revenue increases as a percentage of overall revenues, the gross margin percentage of revenue may decline.

The gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was 59% compared to 60% for the same period in 2006. This decrease in gross margin is mainly attributable to the increase in Inkjet revenues from 30% of 2006 revenues to 34% of 2007 revenues.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses, including amortization of intangible assets, as a percentage of revenue were 58% and 55% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Operating expenses, including amortization of intangible assets, as a percentage of revenue were 59% and 55% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Table of Contents

We anticipate that operating expenses will decrease in future fiscal years both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue as we complete activities related to the stock option investigation. These anticipated cost savings may be offset by increases in expenses for investment in business opportunities and building direct and channel sales capabilities.

The following table shows operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 (in thousands):

 

     Three months ended September 30,      Nine months ended September 30,

Total operating expenses

   $ 91,450    $ 77,271    $ 14,179     18 %    $ 277,277    $ 224,544    $ 52,733     23 %
                                                 

Research and Development

Expenses for research and development consist primarily of personnel expenses and, to a lesser extent, consulting, depreciation, and costs of prototype materials. Expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 include the expenses of Jetrion, subsequent to the acquisition on October 31, 2006.

Research and development expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007 totaled $37.0 million or 23% of revenue compared to $32.3 million or 23% of revenue in the third quarter of 2006, an increase of $4.7 million or 14%, which was primarily due to increased employee costs of $2.0 million related to increased head count as we continue to invest in our Inkjet business, $1.8 million of equity plan related costs, $0.7 million of severance costs, and $0.4 million of increased consulting fees.

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $107.6 million or 23% of revenue compared to $94.2 million or 23% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $13.4 million. The major factors contributing to the increase were $5.2 million of increased employee costs, $3.9 million of increased stock-based compensation expense and other equity plan related costs, $0.7 million of severance costs, $1.2 million of increased consulting fees, and $2.0 million of increased prototype expense.

We believe that the development of new products and the enhancement of existing products are essential and intend to continue to devote substantial resources to research and new product development efforts. Accordingly, we expect that our research and development expenses may increase in absolute dollars and also as a percentage of revenue in future periods.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses include salaries, benefits and bonuses for our sales and marketing employees, travel and facility costs for our marketing, sales and support personnel, sales commissions, labor costs of fulfilling and processing an order, stock-based compensation expense under SFAS 123(R) for stock awards granted to marketing and sales employees, and overhead expenses. These expenses also include costs of programs aimed at increasing revenues, such as advertising, trade shows and expositions, and various sales, promotional programs designed for specific sales channels and end users in all geographies. Expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 include the expenses of Jetrion, subsequent to the acquisition on October 31, 2006.

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 were $30.1 million or 19% of revenue compared to $23.7 million or 17% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $6.4 million, or 27%. This increase was primarily due to $3.8 million of increased employee costs related to higher head count to build a stronger direct sales and marketing organization for the Inkjet Products category. Inkjet products are sold using a direct sales model and require higher selling expenses than Controller products, which are sold using an OEM-based model to a smaller customer base. The remaining increase of $2.6 million consists primarily of $1.9 million of promotion and trade show expenses and $0.4 million of equity plan related costs.

Sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $89.9 million or 19% of revenue compared to $72.5 million or 18% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $17.4 million, or 24%.

Table of Contents

This increase was primarily due to $7.9 million of increased employee costs, $5.0 million of increased marketing and trade show expenses, $1.4 million of increased stock-based compensation expense and other equity plan related costs, and $0.4 million of severance costs.

We expect that our sales and marketing expenses may increase in absolute dollars as we continue to actively promote our products, introduce new products and services, and continue to build our sales and marketing organization, particularly in Europe and Asia Pacific. Sales and marketing expenses may also increase as we continue to grow our software solutions, Inkjet products, and other new product lines, which require greater sales and marketing support from us. We expect that if the U.S. dollar remains volatile against the Euro or other currencies, sales and marketing expenses reported in U.S. dollars could fluctuate.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses include salaries, benefits, and bonuses for our finance, human resources and legal personnel, as well as, professional fees for legal and accounting services, litigation costs, overhead costs, and stock-based compensation expense under SFAS 123(R) for stock awards granted to general and administrative employees. Expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 include the expenses of Jetrion, subsequent to the acquisition on October 31, 2006.

General and administrative expenses were $15.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, or 10% of revenues, compared to $12.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, or 9% of revenues. The overall increase of $3.2 million is primarily attributable to $3.4 million of legal and accounting fees related to the stock option investigation. For a discussion of the restatement of our consolidated financial statements and the Special Committee investigation of historical stock option practices, refer to Note 2, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements” of Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

General and administrative expenses were $53.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, or 11% of revenue, compared to $31.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, or 7% of revenue. The increase of $22.6 million consists primarily of $13.3 million of legal and accounting fees related to the stock option investigation, $3.8 million of increased bad debt expense due to the prior year reversal of the VUTEk acquisition allowance for doubtful accounts, $1.7 million of increased employee costs, costs related to the tax settlement pursuant to Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”) incurred in the second quarter of 2007, $1.5 million in costs related to an acquisition that was not consummated in the first quarter of 2007, $0.9 million of severance costs, and $0.4 million of equity plan related costs.

General and administrative costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were higher as a result of the stock option investigation. We expect our general and administrative expenses to decrease as we complete activities related to the stock option investigation.

Amortization of Identified Intangibles

Amortization of identified intangibles for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $8.7 million compared to $8.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Amortization of identified intangibles for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $26.1 million compared to $26.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The slight decrease in amortization is due to several intangible assets becoming fully amortized subsequent to September 30, 2006, offset by increased amortization of Jetrion intangible assets.

Interest and Other Income, Net

Interest and Other Income, Net

Interest income is derived mainly from our short-term investments, net of investment fees. For the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, interest and other income was $7.7 million and $6.7 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, interest and other income totaled $22.2 million and $16.9 million, respectively. The increases during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 in comparison with the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 were driven by higher interest rates and higher cash and short-term investment balances.

Interest Expense

Interest expense primarily consists of interest and debt amortization costs related to our 1.50% senior convertible debt of approximately $1.3 million for each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and $3.8 million for each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

Gain on Sale of Product Line

During the second quarter of 2006 we sold our inventory and intangible assets related to our mobile workforce automation (“MWA”) line of products. Gross proceeds from the sale were $10.0 million and we recognized a gain of $7.0 million.

Income Taxes

For the third quarter of 2007, we recorded a tax benefit of $0.9 million compared to a tax provision of $38.1 million for the same period in 2006. The tax provision for the third quarter of 2007 included a tax benefit of $1.1 million related to a one-time bonus payment to employees related to the temporary suspension of our ESPP program and a tax charge of $0.8 million due to our reassessment of taxes resulting from the filing of our 2006 federal and state income tax returns. The tax provision for the third quarter of 2006 included a charge of $34.9 million related to the migration of the non-North American VUTEk and chipset product lines to our European headquarters in addition to a charge of $0.2 million due to our reassessment of taxes resulting from the filing or our 2005 federal and state income tax returns. Our effective tax rate on the third quarter’s pre-tax income for 2006, without the discrete charges and benefits above, was 29%. The decrease in our third quarter’s tax provision in 2007 compared to 2006, without the discrete charges and benefits described above, is due primarily to the temporary expiration of the federal research and development credit in the first three quarters of 2006 and increased permanently invested foreign earnings in 2007.

Primary differences in 2007 and 2006 between our recorded tax provision rate and the US statutory rate of 35% for the period above include tax benefits associated with credits for research and development costs for 2007 only, lower taxes on permanently invested foreign earnings, and the tax effects of charges related to stock-based compensation recorded pursuant to SFAS 123(R), which is non-deductible for tax purposes.

Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by requiring a tax position be recognized only when it is more likely than not that the tax position, based on its technical merits, will be sustained upon ultimate settlement with the applicable tax authority. The tax benefit to be recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the applicable tax authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 has been recorded as an increase of $4.8 million to retained earnings, and a decrease of $1.1 million and $5.9 million in goodwill and taxes payable, respectively.

Overview

Cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments increased by $39.8 million, from $510.2 million at December 31, 2006 to $550.0 million at September 30, 2007. The increase is primarily due to cash provided from operations of $53.6 million offset by purchases of property and equipment of $10.0 million.

Operating Activities

During the first nine months of fiscal 2007, our operating activities generated cash flows of $53.6 million. The following items significantly impacted our cash provided by operating activities:

Net income of $19.8 million included non-cash charges of $46.6 million, comprised primarily of $33.9 million in depreciation and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and $19.9 million in stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by a decrease in deferred taxes of $11.4 million.

Cash provided by operating activities also reflects net changes in operating assets and liabilities, which used cash totaling $12.9 million consisting primarily of increases in income tax receivables of $14.2 million, trade receivables of $3.4 million and inventories of $2.3 million, and decreases in trade payables and accrued liabilities of $12.5 million, offset by an increase in income tax payables of $20.5 million.

Our historical and primary source of operating cash flow is the collection of accounts receivable from our customers and the timing of payments to our vendors and service providers. We calculate accounts receivable days sales outstanding (DSO) by dividing the net accounts receivable balance at the end of the quarter by the amount of revenue recognized for the quarter, multiplied by the total days in the quarter. We expect DSOs to vary from period to period because of changes in quarterly revenue and the effectiveness of our collection efforts. As the percentage of our APPS and Inkjet related revenue increases, we expect DSOs may trend higher. Our DSOs related to software and direct sales are traditionally higher than those related to OEM customers.

Investing Activities

Investments

We received net proceeds from short-term investments in marketable securities in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 of $4.8 million. We have classified our investment portfolio as “available for sale,” and our investments are made with a policy of capital preservation and liquidity as the primary objectives. We may hold investments in corporate bonds and U.S. government agency securities to maturity; however, we may sell an investment at any time if the quality rating of the investment declines, the yield on the investment is no longer attractive or we are in need of cash. Because we invest only in investment securities that are highly liquid with a ready market, we believe that the purchase, maturity or sale of our investments has no material impact on our overall liquidity.

Property and Equipment

Net purchases of property and equipment were $10.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Our property and equipment additions have historically been funded from operations.

We anticipate that we will continue to purchase property and equipment necessary in the normal course of our business. The amount and timing of these purchases and the related cash outflows in future periods is difficult to predict and is dependent on a number of factors including our hiring of employees, the rate of change in computer hardware/software used in our business and our business outlook.

Financing Activities

Financing activities relating to repurchases of common stock from employees as settlement for tax liabilities used $1.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Historically, our recurring cash flows provided by financing activities have been from the receipt of cash from the issuance of common stock from the exercise of stock options and employee stock purchase plans. While we may continue to receive proceeds from these plans in future periods, the timing and amount of such proceeds are difficult to predict and are contingent on a number of factors including the price of our common stock, the number of employees participating in the plans and general market conditions. We anticipate that cash provided from exercise of stock options may decline over time as we shift to issuance of restricted stock awards and units rather than stock option awards.

Inventories

Our inventory consists primarily of components related to our inkjet printer business and to a lesser extent memory subsystems, processors and ASICs, which are sold to third-party contract manufacturers responsible for manufacturing our controller products. Should we decide to purchase components and do our own manufacturing of our controller products, or should it become necessary for us to purchase and sell components other than the processors, ASICs or memory subsystems for our contract manufacturers, inventory balances and potentially property and equipment would increase significantly, thereby reducing our available cash resources. Further, the inventory we carry could become obsolete thereby negatively impacting our consolidated financial position and results of operations. We also rely on several sole-source suppliers for certain key components and could experience a significant negative impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations if such supplies were reduced or not available. Our acquisition of VUTEk in June 2005 has significantly increased our inventory levels. Unlike our controller business where we outsource manufacturing, we manufacture the VUTEk products, including both ink and printers in our owned and managed facility.

Purchase Commitments

We may be required and have been required to compensate our sub-contract manufacturers and hardware suppliers for components purchased for orders subsequently cancelled by us. We review the potential liability and the adequacy of the related accrual. Management analyzes current economic trends, changes in customer demand and acceptance of our products when evaluating the adequacy of such accruals. Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with establishing the accruals in any accounting period and such judgments and assessments may prove to be inaccurate. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our income for any period if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates. Our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively impacted if we were required to compensate the sub-contract manufacturers and hardware suppliers in an amount significantly in excess of the accrual.

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, we provide indemnifications of varying scope to customers against claims of intellectual property infringement or other claims made by third parties arising from the use of our products. Historically, costs related to these indemnification provisions were insignificant. However, we are unable to estimate the maximum potential impact of these indemnification provisions on our future results of operations.

As permitted under Delaware law, pursuant to our bylaws, charter and indemnification agreements that we have entered into with our current and former executive officers and directors, we are required, subject to certain limited qualifications, to indemnify our executive officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the executive officer or director is, or was serving, at our request in such capacity. The indemnification period covers all pertinent events and occurrences during the executive officer’s or director’s lifetime, and our indemnification obligations generally extend to the derivative shareholder suits and Nasdaq delisting proceedings described in this filing. In this regard, we have received, and expect to receive, requests for indemnification by certain current and former executive officers and directors in connection with the review of our historical stock option granting practices and the related restatement, related government inquiries and derivative shareholder suits described herein. The maximum potential amount of future payments we may be obligated to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, we have director and officer insurance coverage that limits our exposure and may enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time we may be involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings relating to contractual disputes, securities law, intellectual property, employment matters and other claims or litigation matters relating to various claims that arise in the normal course of our business. We determine whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. We assess our potential liability by analyzing our specific litigation and regulatory matters using available information.

 

25


Table of Contents

We develop our views on estimated losses in consultation with inside and outside counsel, which involves a subjective analysis of potential results and outcomes, assuming various combinations of appropriate litigation and settlement strategies. Because of the uncertainties related to both the amount and ranges of possible loss on the pending litigation matters, we are unable to predict with certainty the precise liability that could finally result from a range of possible unfavorable outcomes. However, taking all of the above factors into account, we reserve an amount that we could reasonably expect to pay for the cases discussed. However, our estimates could be wrong, and we could pay more or less than our current accrual. Litigation can be costly, diverting management’s attention and could, upon resolution, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

Please refer to “Part II – Other Information, Item 1: Legal Proceedings” in this Form 10-Q for more information regarding our legal proceedings.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing

Synthetic Lease Arrangements

We are a party to two synthetic leases (the “301 Lease” and the “303 Lease”, together “Leases”) covering our Foster City facilities located at 301 and 303 Velocity Way, Foster City, California. These leases provide a cost effective means of providing adequate office space for our corporate offices. Both Leases expire in July 2014. We may, at our option, purchase the facilities during or at the end of the term of the leases for the amount expended by the lessor to purchase the facilities ($56.9 million for the 303 Lease and $31.7 million for the 301 Lease). We have guaranteed to the lessor a residual value associated with the buildings equal to 82% of their funding of the respective Leases. Under the financial covenants we must maintain a minimum net worth and a minimum tangible net worth as of the end of each quarter. There is an additional covenant regarding mergers. We are in compliance with all such financial and merger related covenants as of September 30, 2007. We are liable to the lessor for the financed amount of the buildings if we default on our covenants. We obtained limited and conditional waivers from the lessor regarding any event of default that should occur solely as a result of an event of default on other indebtedness caused by our failure to comply with covenants relating to the filing and delivery of our periodic reports.

We have assessed our exposure in relation to the first loss guarantees under the Leases and believe that there is no material deficiency to the guaranteed value at September 30, 2007. If there is a decline in value, we will record a loss associated with the residual value guarantee. The funds pledged under the Leases ($56.9 million for the 303 Lease and $31.7 million for the 301 Lease at June 30, 2007) are in LIBOR-based interest bearing accounts and are restricted as to withdrawal at all times.

In conjunction with the Leases, we leased the land on which the buildings are located to the lessor of the building. These separate ground leases are for approximately 30 years. We are treated as the owner of these buildings for federal income tax purposes.

We determined that the synthetic lease agreements qualify as variable interest entities (VIEs); however, because we are not the primary beneficiary as defined by FASB Interpretations No. 46 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as revised” (“FIN 46R”) we are not required to consolidate the VIEs in the financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resource Requirements

Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and cash generated from operations will satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures, investment requirements, stock repurchases, commitments (see Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) and other liquidity requirements associated with our existing operations through at least the next 12 months. We believe that the most strategic uses of our cash resources include acquisitions, strategic investments to gain access to new technologies, repurchases of shares of our common stock and working capital.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk

We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange and interest rates. Currently we do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We may enter into financial instrument contracts with major financial institutions to manage and reduce the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates in the future. We had no forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2007.

Interest Rate Risk

Short-term Investments

We maintain an investment portfolio of short-term investments of various holdings, types, and maturities. These securities are generally classified as available for sale and consequently, are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). At any time, a sharp rise in interest rates could have a material adverse impact on the fair value of our investment portfolio. Conversely, declines in interest rates could have a material positive impact on the fair market value of our investment portfolio. We do not currently hedge these interest rate exposures.

The following table presents the hypothetical change in fair values in the financial instruments we held at September 30, 2007 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The modeling technique used measures the change in fair values arising from selected potential changes in interest rates. Market changes reflect immediate hypothetical parallel shifts in the yield curve of plus or minus 100, 50 and 25 basis points (BPS).

Convertible Debentures

The fair value of our convertible debentures, including current maturities, was estimated to be $261.6 million as of September 30, 2007.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

A large portion of our business is conducted in countries other than the U.S. We are primarily exposed to changes in exchange rates for the Euro and Japanese yen. Although the majority of our receivables are invoiced and collected in U.S. dollars, we have exposures from non-U.S. dollar-denominated sales and operating expenses in foreign countries. We can benefit from a stronger dollar and be adversely affected by a weaker dollar relative to major currencies worldwide. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates, and in particular a weakening of the U.S. dollar, may adversely affect our consolidated operating expenses and operating margins as expressed in U.S. dollars. We do not hedge our foreign currency exposures as the net impact of these exposures has historically been insignificant.

 

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the quarter ended September 30, 2007, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2007 to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1: Legal proceedings

As more fully discussed below, from time to time, we may be involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings relating to contractual disputes, securities law, intellectual property, employment matters and other claims or litigation matters relating to various claims that arise in the normal course of our business. We determine whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. We assess our potential liability by analyzing our specific litigation and regulatory matters using available information. We develop our views on estimated losses in consultation with inside and outside counsel, which involves a subjective analysis of potential results and outcomes, assuming various combinations of appropriate litigation and settlement strategies. Because of the uncertainties related to both the amount and ranges of possible loss on the pending litigation matters, we are unable to predict with certainty the precise liability that could finally result from a range of possible unfavorable outcomes. However, taking all of the above factors into account, we reserve an amount that we could reasonably expect to pay for the cases discussed. However, our estimates could be wrong, and we could pay more or less than our current accrual. Litigation can be costly, diverting management’s attention and could, upon resolution, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

Leggett & Platt, Inc. and L&P Property Management Company v. VUTEk, Inc.:

In May 2005, prior to EFI’s acquisition of VUTEk, Leggett & Platt, Inc. (“L&P’), and its patent holding subsidiary brought a patent infringement action against VUTEk in the United States District Court in the Eastern District of Missouri. After conducting extensive discovery, EFI moved for summary judgment that the asserted patent is invalid and not infringed. After several months of reviewing the evidence, on December 26, 2006, the Court granted EFI’s summary judgment motion and ruled that all of L&P’s asserted patent claims were invalid on multiple grounds. The Court found that each asserted patent claim was obvious and already disclosed in VUTEk’s own prior patents. In addition to those two grounds for invalidity, the Court also found L&P’s patent claims invalid because the L&P patent claims were vague and indefinite in view of the patent claim interpretations suggested by L&P. The Court also granted EFI’s motion to recover its costs from L&P. L&P filed a notice of appeal, and EFI moved to dismiss the appeal for lack of proper certification from the trial court. The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C. granted EFI’s motion and dismissed L&P’s first appeal. After obtaining a final certification from the trial court, L&P filed a new notice of appeal.

On November 6, 2007, EFI filed a complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief challenging the validity and enforceability of L&P’s newly issued patent which is a continuation of L&P’s originally asserted patent. EFI firmly believes that the Court should summarily invalidate the claims of this patent for the same reasons it invalidated the L&P’s original patent claims. Further, EFI believes that L&P’s failure to adequately disclose to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office the proceedings in the previous lawsuit amounts to inequitable conduct that should render the new patent unenforceable. While EFI does not believe that its products infringed either of these patents, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.

Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) Export Investigation:

In January 2005, prior to EFI’s acquisition of VUTEk, the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) initiated an investigation of VUTEk relating to VUTEk’s alleged failure to comply with U.S. export regulations in connection with several export sales to Syria in 2004. EFI self-initiated an internal compliance review of historical export practices for both VUTEk and EFI. Potential violations uncovered during our compliance review were voluntarily disclosed to BIS in November 2006 (for VUTEk) and December 2006 (for EFI). Additionally, we provided BIS with detailed reports of our compliance review findings and supplemental information in March 2007 (for VUTEk) and May 2007 (for EFI). The areas of possible non-compliance found in the internal review relate to: (1) deemed exports of controlled encryption source code and/or technology to foreign nationals of Syria and Iran, (2) exports of printers and other products with encryption functionality before completion of encryption reviews by BIS and (3) statistical reporting errors on some export declarations. At present, we believe that these matters will be resolved solely with administrative penalties. However, there is no assurance that these matters will not have an unforeseen outcome that could impair our ability to export product outside of the United States and Canada.

Purported Derivative Shareholder Lawsuits:

On August 16, 2006, a purported derivative shareholder complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo captioned Parish v. Avida et al., No. CIV 457013. A substantively identical complaint was filed in the same court on September 11, 2006 captioned Fennimore v. Avida et al., No. CIV 457566. These actions were consolidated as In re Electronics For Imaging, Inc. Derivative Litigation, Master File No. 457013. The consolidated complaint filed December 18, 2006, alleged claims – derivatively and on behalf of the Company as nominal defendant – against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and/or directors and sought redress for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by and unjust enrichment of the individual defendants. Plaintiffs claimed that, from 1994 to 2003, the defendants colluded to improperly backdate stock option grants to various officers and directors in violation of the Company’s stock option plans. Further, Plaintiffs claimed that the individual defendants colluded to improperly record and account for the allegedly backdated options in violation of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and to produce and disseminate statements that improperly recorded and accounted for the options and concealed the allegedly improper backdating. According to plaintiffs, the Company has suffered damage as a result of the individual defendants’ alleged misconduct, and the recipients of the options have allegedly garnered unlawful profits. On January 30, 2007 the court entered a stipulated order dismissing the consolidated action and, on February 2, 2007, plaintiffs filed a similar complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California captioned Parish et al. v. Avida et al., No. C07-00698.

On November 22, 2006, another purported derivative shareholder complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo captioned City of Ann Arbor Employees’ Retirement Association v. Gecht et al., No. CIV 459145. The complaint asserted derivative claims against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and/or directors, alleging that the director defendants breached their fiduciary duty by improperly manipulating certain stock option grants between 1996 and 2003, thereby violating the terms of the Company’s stock option plan, causing the Company to issue false and misleading financial statements and proxy statements, and unjustly enriching the executives who received the subject option grants. The complaint also purported to be brought on behalf of a class consisting of all others similarly situated and alleges a class claim for breach of the fiduciary duty of disclosure. On December 5, 2006 the case was removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and, on March 9, 2007, the court denied plaintiff’s motion to remand the case back to state court. On April 3, 2007 the court granted plaintiff’s motion to voluntarily dismiss its complaint. Plaintiff re-filed its complaint in Delaware Chancery Court on April 9, 2007.

On November 27, 2006 a purported derivative shareholder complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California captioned Indiana State District Council of Laborers and Hod Carriers Pension Fund v. Gecht et al., No. C-06-7274(EMC). Similar to the derivative allegations asserted in the previously-filed complaints, the plaintiff alleges that, between 1997 and 2006, the individual defendants improperly manipulated the grant date of certain stock option grants and made false or misleading statements regarding such grants. Plaintiff claims that the individual defendants’ alleged misconduct violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as California and Delaware law. On March 22, 2007, the court issued an Order consolidating this action with the Parish action. On April 12, 2007 Parish and Fennimore were appointed lead plaintiffs and their attorneys lead counsel. On July 25, 2007 the Court granted plaintiffs’ unopposed motion to stay the action in deference to the litigation pending in Delaware (described below).

On March 15, 2007 a complaint was filed in Delaware Chancery Court captioned Denver Employees Retirement Plan v. Gecht et al., No. 2797. The complaint asserts derivative claims against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and/or directors, alleging that the director defendants breached their fiduciary duty by improperly manipulating certain stock option grants between 1996 and 2003, thereby violating the terms of the Company’s stock option plan, causing the Company to issue false and misleading financial statements and proxy statements, and unjustly enriching the executives who received the subject option grants. The complaint also purported to be brought on behalf of a class consisting of all others similarly situated and alleges a class claim for breach of the fiduciary duty of disclosure. On May 9, 2007, the court granted the parties’ proposed order consolidating the Denver and Ann Arbor cases, designating the Denver complaint as the operative complaint, and appointing the named plaintiffs lead plaintiffs and their counsel lead counsel. Defendants have moved to dismiss the action.

Durst Fototechnik Technology GmbH v. Electronics for Imaging, GmbH et al.:

On February 23, 2007, Durst brought a patent infringement action against EFI GmbH in the Mannheim District Court in Germany. On May 10, 2007, EFI GmbH filed its Statement of Defenses. These defenses include lack of jurisdiction, non-infringement, invalidity and unenforceability based on Durst’s improper actions before the German patent office. EFI Inc. filed its Statement of Defense on August 29, 2007. EFI Inc.’s defenses include those for EFI GmbH as well as an additional defense for prior use based on EFI’s own European patent rights. Trial has been set in Mannheim for November 30, 2007. EFI will continue to defend itself vigorously. While EFI does not believe that its products infringed this patent, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.

Acacia Patent Litigation:

On August 8, 2007, Screentone Systems Corporation, a subsidiary of Acacia Technologies Group, initiated litigation against several defendants, including Konica Minolta Printing Solutions, Canon USA, and Ricoh Americas, for infringement of a patent related to apparatus and methods of digital halftoning in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. Konica Minolta, Canon and Ricoh are EFI customers. While the complaint does not identify any accused products nor reference EFI directly, at least one defendant has notified EFI that Acacia representatives have communicated that at least one basis for its infringement claim is based on certain EFI Fiery products. EFI has contractual obligations to indemnify its customers to varying degrees and subject to various circumstances. At least one defendant has written requesting indemnification for any EFI products that allegedly infringe these patents. While EFI does not believe that its products infringed this patent, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.

Tesseron Patent Litigation:

On September 26, 2007, Tesseron, Ltd. initiated litigation against Konica Minolta Business Solutions USA, Konica Minolta Business Technologies and Konica Minolta Holdings for infringement of eight patents related to variable printing technology in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division. Konica Minolta is an EFI customer and the complaint references EFI Fiery variable data enabled printer controllers. Additionally, Tesseron has on multiple occasions over the past 4 years sent threatening letters to EFI. Tesseron failed to reply to each of EFI’s requests for a dialogue until recently and that meeting was unproductive with Tesseron refusing to explain its infringement contentions. EFI has contractual obligations to indemnify its customers to varying degrees and subject to various circumstances. Konica Minolta has written requesting indemnification for any EFI products that allegedly infringe these patents.

On October 30, 2007, EFI filed a complaint against Tesseron in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint seeks a declaratory judgment that Tesseron’s patents are invalid and/or not infringed. EFI also seeks to prevent Tesseron and its attorneys from threatening EFI or its OEM customers with infringement of those patents, or bringing a lawsuit claiming infringement with regard to such products. EFI will vigorously pursue this action in order to demonstrate that its variable data printing products do not infringe any valid claim of Tesseron’s patents. While EFI does not believe that its products infringed any of these patents, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.

Nasdaq Delisting Proceedings:

Due to the Special Committee investigation, we were unable to file on a timely basis with the SEC our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2007 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2007. On November 15, 2006, we received a Nasdaq staff determination notice stating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) due to our failure to timely file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006, and that our securities were, therefore, subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Stock Market. We received additional Nasdaq staff determination notices with respect to our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007.

We requested and subsequently attended a hearing before the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the staff determination and presented a plan to cure the filing deficiencies and regain compliance. The Panel granted our request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market, subject to certain conditions which we were unable to meet because of the then-ongoing independent investigation of our historical stock option grants. As a result, the Panel notified us that it had determined to delist our securities, which ordinarily would have resulted in the suspension of our securities effective on May 17, 2007. However, the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Listing Council”), pursuant to its discretionary authority under Marketplace Rule 4807(b), called for review the decision of the Panel regarding our case and stayed any action by the Panel to suspend our securities from trading on The Nasdaq Global Select Market pending further action by the Listing Council.

On July 2, 2007, we provided the Listing Council with an additional submission for its consideration, and requested that the Listing Council exercise its discretionary authority, pursuant to Marketplace Rule 4802(b), in favor of granting us an additional extension to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s filing requirement, as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14).

On August 23, 2007, the Listing Council notified us that it had determined to exercise its discretionary authority, under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4802(b), to grant us an exception to demonstrate compliance with all of The Nasdaq Global Select Market continued listing requirements through October 22, 2007.

We filed with the SEC, on October 19, 2007, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and, on October 22, 2007, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007.

On October 25, 2007, we received a determination by the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council that Electronics For Imaging, Inc. had demonstrated compliance with all of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. As such, this matter is now closed.

Item 3: Defaults Upon Senior Securities

On June 29, 2007 and October 22, 2007, we received notices of a purported compliance deficiency from the trustee under the indenture governing our $240 million, 1.50% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2023 (the “Debentures”). These notices reference certain requirements to file with the trustee copies of annual and quarterly reports that we are required to file with the SEC, specifically our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, our Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007 and our Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007. On November 10, 2006, we received a similar notice from the trustee related to the delay in filing of our Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2006. The trustee did not accelerate the maturity of the Debentures, but reserved the right to seek the remedies allowed in the indenture.

We filed with the SEC, on October 19, 2007, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, and on October 22, 2007, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007. With the filing of these reports, we believe we have returned to full compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements and all debt covenants.
