ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

 

On October 28, 2003, Palm, Inc. (“Palm”) effected the spin-off of its majority-owned subsidiary, PalmSource, Inc. (“PalmSource”) by merging Peace Separation Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Palm, with and into Palm, thereby effecting the distribution of all of the shares of PalmSource common stock owned by Palm to Palm’s stockholders. For each share of Palm common stock, stockholders received 0.3098041712 shares of PalmSource common stock. No consideration was received by Palm in this transaction.

 

On October 29, 2003, Palm effected the acquisition of Handspring, Inc. (“Handspring”) in a merger transaction in which Harmony Acquisition Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Palm, was merged with and into Handspring, with Handspring continuing as the surviving entity and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Palm. The stockholders of Handspring received 0.09 of a share of Palm common stock for each share of Handspring common stock. The amount of such consideration was determined based upon arm’s-length negotiations between Palm and Handspring. Immediately following the acquisition, Palm effected a change of its corporate name to palmOne, Inc. (the “Registrant”).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Handspring, Inc.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) on page 45 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Handspring, Inc. and its subsidiaries at June 28, 2003 and June 29, 2002 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended June 28, 2003, June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) on page 45 presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In addition, the Company has substantially completed a significant shift in the focus of its business from traditional handheld organizers to communicators. The Company intends to incur significant expenses to continue to develop and promote new products as well as to support existing product sales. Failure to generate sufficient revenues from new and existing products may require the Company to delay, scale back or eliminate certain research and development or marketing programs.

 

The Company believes that available cash resources, including the credit facility from Palm (see Notes 2 and 8), will be sufficient to meet the Company’s anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months. However, if revenues are lower or expenses are higher than anticipated, or if inventory, accounts receivable, or other assets require a greater use of cash than anticipated, the Company’s resources, including the credit facility from Palm, may prove to be insufficient for working capital and capital expenditure requirements. In addition, existing and potential customers and vendors may take actions that could further harm the Company’s liquidity position if they believe that the Company’s cash balances are not adequate. Depending on market conditions, any additional financing needed may not be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all, and would require Palm’s consent. If adequate funds are not available the Company’s business could be harmed.

 

2.    Agreement and Plan of Merger

 

On June 4, 2003, the Company announced that it had entered into a merger agreement with Palm, Inc. under which it will merge with and into Harmony Acquisition Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Palm. Under the merger agreement, the Company’s stockholders will receive 0.09 shares of Palm common stock for each share of Handspring common stock owned. In addition, the merger agreement provides that upon completion of the merger, stock options and warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock granted to the Company’s employees and directors that are outstanding and not exercised immediately before completing the merger will become stock options and warrants to purchase Palm common stock. The replacement options issued in the merger will generally have the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the Company’s stock option plans, except that the number of common shares subject to such stock options, and the exercise price of such stock options, will each be adjusted according to the exchange ratio in the merger agreement. The merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including, among other things, the approval of Handspring stockholders of the merger, approval of Palm stockholders of the issuance of Palm common stock in connection with the

merger, distribution of PalmSource, Inc. common stock from Palm and other customary closing conditions. In connection with the merger agreement, Palm and the Company entered into a loan agreement pursuant to which Palm will provide up to an aggregate of $20.0 million in term loans to the Company.

 

3.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

(a)    Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments — The Company invests its excess cash in debt instruments of the U.S. Government and its agencies, and in high-quality corporate issuers. All highly liquid debt or equity instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. Those with original maturities greater than three months and current maturities less than twelve months from the balance sheet date are considered short-term investments.

 

All short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale securities and are stated at market value with any temporary difference between an investment’s amortized cost and its market value recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until such gains or losses are realized. Gains or losses on the sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis.

 

(b)    Fair value of financial instruments — Amounts reported for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are considered to approximate fair value primarily due to their short maturities.

 

(c)    Concentration of credit risk — Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments, and accounts receivable. The Company’s accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers in North America, Europe and certain countries in Asia Pacific and the Middle East.

 

Risks associated with cash are mitigated by banking with creditworthy institutions. The objective of the Company’s investment policy is the preservation of capital, the maximization of after-tax return, and the maintenance of liquidity until funds are needed for use in business operations. Funds are diversified to minimize risk and the inappropriate concentrations of investments. Under policy guidelines, the following are considered eligible investments: obligations of the U.S. government agencies, certain financial institutions and corporations, as well as investments in money market funds. All investments are limited to those highly rated by outside organizations.

 

At June 28, 2003, two customers accounted for 37%, and 27% of net receivables and one customer accounted for 37% of revenue during fiscal 2003. At June 29, 2002, four customers accounted for 12%, 10%, 10% and 10% of net receivables and one customer accounted for 15% of revenue during fiscal 2002. At June 30, 2001, four customers accounted for 40%, 20%, 17%, and 11% of net receivables and three customers accounted for 14%, 13% and 10% of revenue during fiscal 2001.

 

(d)    Accounts receivable — Accounts receivable are recorded at face value, less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate calculated based on an analysis of current business and economic risks, customer credit-worthiness, specific identifiable risks such as bankruptcies, terminations or discontinued customers, or other factors that may indicate a potential loss. The allowance is reviewed on a consistent basis to ensure that it adequately provides for all reasonably expected losses in the receivable balances. An account may be determined to be uncollectable if all collection efforts have been exhausted, the customer has filed for bankruptcy and all recourse against the account is exhausted, or disputes are unresolved and negotiations to settle are exhausted. This uncollectable amount is written off as bad debt against the allowance.

 

(e)    Inventories — Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates first-in, first-out cost) or market. Provisions for potentially obsolete or slow moving inventories are made based on management’s analysis of inventory levels and future sales forecasts. These provisions are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from actual requirements if future economic conditions, customer inventory levels or competitive conditions differ from the Company’s expectations.

 

(f)    Property and equipment — Property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally one to five years. Leasehold improvements and assets held under capital leases are amortized over the term of the lease or estimated useful lives, whichever is shorter. The Company capitalizes tooling costs to the extent they relate to ongoing and routine costs of tools and molds used to manufacture products that the Company markets. Capitalized tooling is amortized over its estimated useful life of one year. Assets acquired under capital leases are recorded at the present value of the related lease obligation.

 

7


(g)    Other assets — Other assets include goodwill and other intangible assets carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the expected useful life of three years. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which became effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2003, under which goodwill is no longer amortized but instead is subject to impairment tests at least annually. The Company applied impairment tests in May 2003 and determined goodwill to be impaired. The unamortized balance of $331,000 was expensed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. There was no goodwill, net of accumulated amortization, and other intangibles, net of accumulated amortization, as of June 28, 2003 and $331,000 as of June 29. 2002. Accumulated amortization of goodwill and intangibles totaled $612,000 and $280,000 as of June 28, 2003 and June 29, 2002, respectively.

 

(h)    Long-lived assets — The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. The Company assesses the impairment of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable.

 

(i)    Construction in progress—Sunnyvale property — Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 97-10, The Effect of Lessee Involvement in Asset Construction, is applied to entities involved with certain structural elements of the construction of an asset that will be leased when construction of the asset is completed. EITF No. 97-10 requires us to be considered the owner (for accounting purposes only) of these types of projects during the construction period. This is the case even though we are not obligated to guarantee the non-recourse mortgage obligation, nor are we involved in the management of the construction of the building or the management of the owner-lessor. Therefore, we have recorded such building costs related to the two new buildings under construction in Sunnyvale, California that the Company leases (see Note 7) as construction in progress with a corresponding non-cash obligation for construction in progress.

 

In future periods, the construction in progress-Sunnyvale property and corresponding non-cash obligations for construction in progress-Sunnyvale property will continue to increase as we continue to capitalize imputed interest charges on the outstanding balance of non-cash obligations for construction in progress-Sunnyvale property. In the event of a termination of the restated and amended lease agreement, both balances would cease to exist on our balance sheet as the title to the larger building will revert to the original owner. However, in the event of a transfer of title of the building to the original owner, we will also be released from any outstanding obligations to the former owner under that building.

 

(j)    Foreign currency translation — The majority of the Company’s operations are denominated in U.S. dollars. For foreign operations using local currency as the functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates, and statements of operations are translated at the average exchange rates during the year. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency translation are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

 

(k)    Derivative Financial Instruments — The Company has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the reporting entity. The Company does not designate its foreign exchange forward contracts as hedges and accordingly, gains and losses resulting from exchange rate fluctuations on foreign exchange forward contracts are recorded in interest and other income, net and are offset by the corresponding foreign exchange transaction gains and losses from the foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities being hedged. Fair values of foreign exchange forward contracts are determined using quoted market forward rates. The Company does not use forward contracts for speculative or trading purposes.

 

(l)    Research and development — Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company has not capitalized any costs to date pursuant to SFAS No. 86, Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed.

 

(m)    Income taxes — The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This statement prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and measured at tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets where it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

8


(n)    Stock compensation — The Company accounts for stock compensation arrangements in accordance with provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation (an Interpretation of APB No. 25), and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Under APB No. 25, unearned stock compensation is based on the difference, if any, between the fair value of the Company’s common stock, on the date of the grant, and the exercise price. Unearned stock compensation is amortized and expensed in accordance with FIN No. 28, Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans. The Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and EITF Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services.

 

(o)    Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — As discussed above, the Company accounts for its stock compensation using the method prescribed by APB No. 25. Had the Company determined its stock compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant dates for its employee stock options (including shares granted under the ESPP) according to the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net loss would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below:

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of the stock price. Because the Company’s stock based awards have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates, in the opinion of management, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock based awards. The weighted average estimated fair value of options granted during fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001 was $0.44, $1.31, and $17.09, respectively. The weighted average estimated fair value of shares granted under the ESPP was $0.49 during fiscal 2003, $1.89 during fiscal 2002 and $9.72 during fiscal 2001.

 

(p)    Comprehensive loss — The FASB issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which requires an enterprise to report by major components and as a single total, the change in its net assets during the period from non-stockholder sources. The components of comprehensive loss were as follows:

(q)    Revenue recognition — Revenue is comprised almost entirely of sales of our communicator and organizer products. The Company recognizes a small portion of revenue from the sale of software and extended warranty and support contracts. The Company recognizes revenue pursuant to applicable accounting standards, including Statement of Position (SOP) No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. Product is considered delivered to the customer once it has been shipped, and title and risk of loss have been transferred. Sales of our communicators may also include subsidy revenue from wireless carriers for new customer service contracts or the extension of existing customer contracts. In these cases, the customers have a specified period of time in which they may cancel their service. All revenue related to these subsidies is deferred until this specified period of time has elapsed. The Company records reductions to revenue for estimated commitments related to price protection and for customer incentive programs, including reseller and end user rebates and other sales programs and volume-based incentives.

 

Revenue from extended warranty and support contracts is recognized ratably over the contract period. Amounts billed to customers in excess of revenue recognized on extended warranty and support contracts are recognized as deferred revenue until revenue recognition criteria are met.

 

Revenue on software that includes multiple elements is allocated to each element based on vendor specific objective evidence of the fair value of each element pursuant to SOP 97-2, as amended. Allocated revenue for each element is recognized when revenue recognition criteria have been met for each element. Vendor specific objective evidence of fair value is generally determined based on the price charged when each element is sold separately.

 

No significant post-delivery obligations exist with respect to revenue recognized during fiscal 2003, 2002 or 2001.

 

(r)    Returns reserve — The Company offers limited return rights on its products and accordingly, at the time the related sale is recorded, revenue is reduced for estimated returns. The estimates for returns are adjusted periodically and are based upon various factors including historical rates of returns and inventory levels in the channel. The Company also estimates and reserves for rebates and price protection based upon specific programs. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

(s)    Warranty reserve — The cost of product warranties is estimated and accrued at the time revenue is recognized. While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, its warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, component costs and repair service costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, component costs or repair service costs differ from estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty costs would be required.

 

(t)    Shipping and handling fees and costs and royalty expenses — The Company classifies amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling as revenue. Costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handling have been classified as cost of revenue. Cost of revenue also includes royalty expenses (primarily to PalmSource, Inc.) pursuant to software technology license agreements. In accordance with those agreements, the Company sublicenses the software to its end-users.

 

(u)    Advertising costs — The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. For fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2000 advertising costs totaled $1.8 million, $3.0 million and $31.0 million, respectively.

 

(v)    Net loss per share — Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period (excluding shares subject to repurchase).

 

10


Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period if their effect is dilutive.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the periods indicated:

Shares issuable under stock options

   21,037    16,463    31,544

Shares issuable under warrants

   9,150      

 

The weighted average repurchase price of unvested stock was $0.71, $0.17, and $0.06 as of June 28, 2003, June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively. The weighted-average exercise price of stock options outstanding was $1.17, $1.47 and $11.30 as of June 28, 2003, June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively. As part of our lease restructurings (see Note 7), in the third quarter of fiscal year 2003 we issued warrants to purchase a total of 10,150,000 shares of common stock. The weighted-average exercise price of warrants outstanding was $1.08 as of June 28, 2003.

 

(w)    Recently issued accounting pronouncements — In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 supercedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, and APB No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions. Under SFAS No. 144 a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of is established. The accounting model is based on the framework established in SFAS No. 121 and resolves certain implementation issues. SFAS No. 144 was adopted by the Company at the beginning of fiscal 2003, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 did not have a material impact on the Company’s accounting for restructuring actions initiated during the third quarter of fiscal year 2003. However, the provisions of SFAS No. 146 may affect the timing and amount of future exit or disposal activities.

 

In November 2002, the FASB issued FIN No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. FIN No. 45 requires that a liability be recorded in the guarantor’s balance sheet upon issuance of a guarantee. In addition, FIN No. 45 requires disclosures about the guarantees that an entity has issued, including a reconciliation of changes in the entity’s product warranty liabilities. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN No. 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, irrespective of the guarantor’s fiscal year-end. The disclosure requirements of FIN No. 45 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of FIN No. 45 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

11


In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure, which amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation, and also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require disclosure in the summary of significant accounting policies the effects of an entity’s accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income and earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements. The disclosure provisions are applicable for all companies with stock-based employee compensation, regardless of whether the company utilizes the fair value method of accounting described in SFAS No. 123 or the intrinsic value method described in APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS No. 148’s amendment of the transition and annual disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The disclosure requirements for interim financial statements containing condensed consolidated financial statements are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company currently uses the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation described by APB Opinion No. 25. The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS 148 in the third quarter of fiscal year 2003 and has included the new disclosure requirements in these notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. FIN No. 46 clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN No. 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies to the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that is acquired before February 1, 2003. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, which provides guidance on the timing and method of revenue recognition for arrangements that include the delivery of more than one product or service. EITF No. 00-21 is effective for arrangements entered into in periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of EITF No. 00-21 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of SFAS No. 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. In particular, this Statement clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative. It also clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows. SFAS No. 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within the scope of SFAS No. 150 as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). SFAS No. 150 is effective for interim periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

(x)    Use of estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

4.    Acquisitions

 

In February 2001, the Company completed its acquisition of BlueLark Systems, Inc. (BlueLark), a provider of software designed to power the delivery of content and services to mobile handheld devices, notably a Palm OS proxy-based browser. Under the terms of the agreement related to this acquisition, the Company issued 450,000 shares and options to purchase the Company’s common stock in exchange for all of BlueLark’s outstanding shares and options for a total purchase price of $16.4 million. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations.

 

12


The Company considered various factors in determining the fair value of the total purchase price to allocate to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from BlueLark, including in-process research and development. The amount allocated to in-process research and development was determined by assessing the stage and expected date of completion of the research and development efforts at the acquisition date, and calculating the net present value of cash flows expected to result from the new technology. The estimated net present value of cash flows took into account the characteristics and applications of the technologies, the size and growth rate of existing and future markets and an evaluation of past and anticipated technology and product life cycles. These cash flows included the after-tax effects of future revenues, cost of revenues, operating expenses, working capital charge, and expenditures for capital and intangibles. Both the estimated stage of completion and the discount rate used to calculate the net present value factored into account the uncertainty surrounding the successful deployment of the new technology resulting from the in-process research and development effort.

 

Of the total purchase price of $16.4 million, $82,000 was allocated to the net tangible assets acquired offset by $177,000 of liabilities assumed, $3.9 million was recorded as deferred compensation, $300,000 was recorded as assembled workforce, $12.0 million was allocated to in-process research and development and the remainder of $312,000 was recorded as goodwill. The deferred compensation charge relates to the intrinsic value of unvested stock options and restricted stock assumed in the transaction. This amount is being amortized, using the multiple option method, over the vesting period of the related options or restricted stock. The total amount allocated to goodwill and assembled workforce was being amortized on a straight-line basis over three years; however, with the adoption of SFAS No. 142 in fiscal 2003, amortization ceased and the value of assembled workforce was reclassified to goodwill. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company applied impairment tests in May 2003 and determined the remaining goodwill to be impaired. The unamortized balance of $331,000 was expensed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. In-process research and development was immediately expensed as of the date of the acquisition. The historical operations of BlueLark were not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations and accordingly, proforma information has not been presented. Results of operations for BlueLark have been included with those of the Company subsequent to the acquisition date.

6.    Construction in progress—Sunnyvale property

 

Under EITF No. 97-10, The Effect of Lessee Involvement in Asset Construction, the Company is considered to be the owner (for accounting purposes only) of the two new buildings in Sunnyvale, California that the Company leases (see Note 7), during the construction period. The application of the provisions of EITF No. 97-10 resulted in the inclusion of $14.3 million and $74.0 million as construction in progress with a corresponding non-cash obligation for construction in progress of $14.3 million and $74.0 million as of June 28, 2003 and June 29, 2002, respectively.

 

7.    Restructurings

 

In September 2002, the Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan to align expenses with the current size of the Company. In connection with the restructuring plan, the Company recorded a restructuring charge to operating expenses of $2.3 million. This charge included $1.2 million for workforce reduction for both U.S. and International operations, $0.5 million to downsize and close excess facilities and $0.4 million of asset-related charges related to certain long-lived assets that were abandoned. The restructuring activities resulted in the termination of 77 employees, of which all were designated for termination and were terminated in fiscal 2003.

 

14


On January 29, 2003, the Company restructured the leases that were entered into in February 2001 for two new buildings in Sunnyvale, California (the Sunnyvale leases). Under the original Sunnyvale leases, total initial monthly expenses were $2.0 million consisting of approximately $1.7 million of rent expenses plus approximately $300,000 of operating expenses. Under these leases, we also were required to construct certain improvements within the buildings.

 

Under the January 2003 restructuring, we agreed to pay $61.2 million in total consideration to the landlord and a contractor involved in the construction of the buildings in return for relief from most of the rent and operating expense obligations under the original leases, which would have been approximately $350.0 million over the twelve year term of the leases. Of the $61.2 million consideration, $15.3 million was paid from our cash at the closing of the restructuring, $40.9 million of certain letters of credit which had originally secured our obligations under the original lease, were surrendered to the former landlord, $4.0 million will be paid under two promissory notes and $1.0 million will be paid under an amended and restated lease for one of the two buildings as described below. Of the $40.9 million of certain letters of credit surrendered to the former landlord, only $32.7 million had been drawn against as of June 28, 2003. The remaining balance of $8.2 million is included in provision for committed tenant improvements and other and can be drawn against and used at any time at the discretion of the former landlord.

 

The restructuring provided for the immediate termination of the lease for one of the two Sunnyvale buildings. For the other building, however, the arrangement involved a complex legal structure pursuant to which Handspring purchased the legal title of the building from the landlord, although it did not purchase the underlying real estate. In addition, Handspring entered into an amended and restated lease that essentially converted the original lease for the second building from a lease of space within that building to a lease of an air space parcel, with Handspring owning the building within the parcel.

 

Under the amended and restated lease, rent was reduced to $19,333 per month, and responsibility for all operating expenses was shifted from Handspring to the landlord. The term was reduced to five years, subject to both the landlord’s and Handspring’s right to terminate earlier. Upon termination of the amended and restated lease by either Handspring or the landlord, ownership of the building reverts to the landlord. Handspring has no further obligation to improve the buildings.

 

The amended and restated lease allows Handspring, in certain circumstances, to elect to “reinstate” the economic terms of the original lease. Reinstatement can occur only by the affirmative election of Handspring, which it would exercise only if the real estate market rebounded dramatically.

 

Due to the restructuring, the Company took a charge of $75.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. The components of this charge included $15.3 million paid from cash, $40.9 million paid from the surrender of certain letters of credit, $4.0 million in note payable obligations, $1.0 million for future lease payments under the amended and restated lease, $3.7 million for warrants to purchase 10 million shares of common stock (see Note 9) that was issued to the landlord as part of the restructuring, $10.4 million for a net write-off of tenant improvements and rent expenses and $600,000 for legal fees and expenses.

 

As a result of the provisions of the amended and restated lease agreement, including the payments above, the Company was able to significantly reduce the outstanding obligations for construction in progress—Sunnyvale property. In addition, as the projected economic benefit that the Company will ever derive from this property is the release of its debt obligations, the Company also reduced the carrying value of this building to the outstanding obligations due to the former landlord.

 

As of June 28, 2003, approximately $2.5 million of these restructuring charges were included in accrued liabilities, $8.2 million in provision for committed tenant improvements and other and $2.2 million in the Sunnyvale note payable.

 

On January 31, 2003, the Company amended its lease agreement with EOP-Industrial, Portfolio, LLC for the leased property located in Mountain View, California. As a result of this amendment, in the third quarter of fiscal 2003, Handspring surrendered a letter of credit for $2.1 million held in the landlord’s name and a security deposit of $200,000. Handspring also issued warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock valued at $46,500 (see Note 9).

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 the Company recorded a $26.8 million charge for excess and obsolete inventory. This charge resulted from the overall economic slowdown and high levels of channel inventory, which in turn drove aggressive price reductions and increased competition. The inventory primarily included excess organizer units, components used in the production of certain of our organizer products, organizer related accessories and capitalized tooling. Also included in the charge was a provision for commitments to suppliers for non-cancelable orders for products and components to be delivered in the future for which Handspring no longer anticipated having sufficient future demand.

 

8.    Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company leases its facilities under various operating leases which expire through February 2011. Under the terms of the leases, the Company is responsible for its share of common area and operating expenses. Collateral for lease payments consists of a $400,000 standby letter of credit established on August 3, 1999. The standby letter of credit is required until the expiration of the related leases in August 2004. The letter of credit is included in other assets at June 28, 2003 and June 29, 2002.

 

As of June 28, 2003 the future minimum lease commitments under all operating leases were as follows (in thousands):

Rent expense under operating leases, net of sublease income, was $5.7 million, $4.0 million and $4.1 million for fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.

 

In June 2002, the Company renewed its purchase agreement with a manufacturer in Mexico. The agreement provides for the manufacturer to supply certain levels of handheld computer products according to rolling forecasts and purchase orders provided by the Company. The Company guarantees a minimum production commitment based on this rolling forecast. The Company is liable for the purchase price of products scheduled to be delivered within 30 days after the date of cancellation. In addition, the Company is liable for the actual cost of materials for orders cancelled within 31-90 days before the date of scheduled delivery. The Company may cancel orders with scheduled delivery more than 90 days after the date of cancellation without liability. The initial term of the agreement with the manufacturer in Mexico was for one year, with automatic renewal for separate but successive one-year terms subsequent to the expiration of the initial term. The agreement with the manufacturer in Mexico is cancelable upon 90 days and 180 days notice by either party. Had the Company cancelled such orders, its maximum liability at June 28, 2003 under the cancellation provisions of the purchase agreements would have approximated $21.5 million.

 

Product Warranties

 

The Company accrues for warranty costs based on historical trends in product failure rates and the expected material and labor costs to provide warranty services. The majority of products sold are generally covered by a warranty for periods up to one year. The following table summarizes the activity related to the product warranty liability, included in accrued liabilities, during the year ended June 28, 2003 and June 29, 2002:

Palm Loan Agreement

 

On June 4, 2003, Palm and Handspring entered into a loan agreement pursuant to which Palm will provide up to an aggregate of $20 million in term loans to Handspring. The term loans will be secured by a first priority security interest against substantially all of the assets and property of Handspring. Interest will accrue on the term loans at an annual interest rate equal to the prime rate (4% at June 28, 2003) plus 3% and be payable at the end of each calendar quarter. The term loans will mature upon the earliest of:

 

  ·   the execution of an agreement (other than the merger agreement), the consummation of which would constitute a change of control of Handspring pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement;

 

  ·   if a maturity event of extension, as defined in the loan agreement, occurs, then the term loans will mature nine months from the termination of the merger agreement;

 

  ·   if a maturity event of extension has not occurred, then the term loans will mature two business days following the date of termination of the merger agreement; and

 

  ·   the occurrence of an event of default pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement.

 

Handspring may prepay the term loans at any time without penalty or premium. Handspring is required to prepay the term loans under certain circumstances. Handspring must meet certain conditions in order to borrow under the term loans.

 

The loan agreement contains customary events of default for a credit facility of this type, including, among others, failure to make payments when due, breaches of covenants, breaches of representations and warranties, cross-default to other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults, unsatisfied judgment defaults, and ERISA defaults.

 

Officer and Director Indemnifications

 

As permitted and/or required under Delaware law and to the maximum extent allowable under that law, the Company has agreements whereby the Company indemnifies its current and former officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was serving, at the Company’s request in such capacity. These indemnifications are valid as long as the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner that a reasonable person believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has a director and officer insurance policy that limits the Company’s exposure and enables the Company to recover a portion of any amounts paid. As a result of the Company’s insurance policy coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification obligations is minimal.

 

Other Indemnifications

 

As is customary in the Company’s industry, as provided for in local law in the U.S. and other jurisdictions, the Company’s standard contracts provide remedies to its customers, such as defense, settlement, or payment of judgment for intellectual property claims related to the use of the Company’s products. From time to time, the Company indemnifies customers against combinations of loss, expense, or liability arising from various trigger events related to the sale and the use of the Company’s products and services. In addition, from time to time the Company also provides protection to customers against claims related to undiscovered liabilities, additional product liability or environmental obligations. In the Company’s experience, claims made under such indemnifications are rare and the associated estimated fair value of the liability is not material.

 

9.    Stockholders’ Equity

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, none of which was outstanding at June 28, 2003 or June 29, 2002.

 

Common Stock

 

Common stock issued to the founders is subject to repurchase agreements whereby the Company has the option to repurchase unvested shares upon termination of employment at the original issue price. These shares vest 20% at the date of the agreements, an

 

17


additional 20% on July 13, 1999, 1.667% per month thereafter and an additional 25% in the event of an acquisition or merger of the Company. There were no shares of the founders’ common stock subject to repurchase by the Company at June 28, 2003. There were 1,050,000 and 13,650,000 shares of the founders’ common stock subject to repurchase by the Company at June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively.

 

Common Stock Reserved for Issuance

 

The Company has 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock authorized, of which 148,611,942, 143,126,516, and 129,949,768 were issued and outstanding as of June 28, 2003, June 29, 2002, and June 30, 2001, respectively. Common stock reserved for future issuances is as follows:

Stock Option Exchange Program

 

During April 2002, the Company announced a voluntary stock option exchange program for its employees. Under the program, employees were given the opportunity, if they chose, to cancel outstanding stock options previously granted to them in exchange for an equal number of replacement options to be granted at a future date, at least six months and a day from the cancellation day, which was May 17, 2002. Under the exchange program, options for 11,677,415 shares of the Company’s common stock were tendered and cancelled. Each participant employee who was still employed by the Company on the replacement grant date received, for each option included in the exchange, a one-for-one replacement option. The exercise price of each replacement option was equal to the current fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the day the replacement options were granted. On November 18, 2002, the Company granted options for 10,257,926 shares of the Company’s common stock at the exercise price of $1.01 per share.

 

The terms of the replacement options are substantially the same as the cancelled options, except that in most circumstances, there was an additional cliff period of up to six months imposed on the vesting schedule of the option that limited the ability of the option holder to exercise the option.

 

The exchange program complies with FASB Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, and did not result in any additional compensation charges or variable plan accounting. Members of the Company’s Board of Directors were not eligible to participate in this program.

 

2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

Effective June 21, 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). An initial 750,000 shares of common stock were originally reserved for issuance under the ESPP. In addition, subject to the Board of Director’s discretion, on January 1, 2001 and on each anniversary thereafter, the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuances under the ESPP was and will be increased automatically by the numbers of shares equal to 1% of the total number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on the immediately preceding December 31, provided that the aggregate shares reserved under the ESPP shall not exceed 22,500,000 shares.

 

Under the ESPP, eligible employees may have up to 10% of their earnings withheld, subject to certain limitations, to be used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Unless the Board of Directors shall determine otherwise, each offering period provides for consecutive 24-month periods commencing on each February 1 and August 1, except that the first offering period commenced on June 21, 2000 and ended on July 31, 2002. Each offering period is comprised of four 6-month purchase periods, except for the first purchase period which was from June 21, 2000 to January 31, 2001. An offering period may end earlier than its scheduled term. The price at which common stock may be purchased under the ESPP is equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of common stock on the commencement date of each offering period or the specified purchase date. Under the ESPP, the Company issued approximately 2,676,000 shares to employees in fiscal 2003 for $2.2 million, 898,000 shares in fiscal 2002 for $2.6 million and 78,000 shares in fiscal 2001 for $1.3 million.

2000 Equity Incentive Plan

 

The 2000 Equity Incentive Plan (2000 Plan) was adopted by the Board of Directors on April 26, 2000 and became effective on June 20, 2000. The 2000 Plan provides for the issuance of either incentive options (ISO) to its employees (including officers and directors who are also employees) or non-qualified options (NSO) to its employees, officers, directors, consultants, independent contractors and advisors of the Company. The options may be granted at prices no less than 85% of the estimated fair value of the shares at the date of grant, provided, however, that (i) the exercise price of an ISO shall not be less than 100% of the fair value of the shares on the date of grant, and (ii) the exercise price of any option granted to a 10% shareholder shall not be less than 110% of the fair value of the shares on the date of grant, respectively. Options generally vest 25% one year from the vest start date and ratably over the next 36 months and expire 10 years (five years in certain instances) after the date of grant. An initial 15,000,000 shares of common stock were originally reserved for issuance under the 2000 Plan. In addition, subject to the Board of Directors’ discretion, on January 1, 2001 and on each anniversary thereafter, the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuances under the 2000 Plan will be increased automatically by the number of shares equal to 5% of the total outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on the immediately preceding December 31, provided that no more than 20,000,000 shares shall be issued as ISOs. The Board of Directors’ elected not to increase the shares reserved for issuances under the 2000 Plan during fiscal 2003 and 2002.

 

Prior Stock Option Plans

 

The Company’s 1999 Executive Equity Incentive Plan (1999 Plan) provided for the issuance of options to acquire 10,350,000 shares of common stock. The 1998 Plan provides for the issuance of either ISO’s to its employees or NSO’s to its employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company. Options generally vest 25% one year from the vest start date and ratably over the next 36 months and expire 10 years (five years in certain instances) after the date of grant.

 

The Company’s 1998 Equity Incentive Plan (1998 Plan) provided for the issuance of options to acquire 28,707,693 shares of common stock. The 1998 Plan provides for the issuance of either ISO’s to its employees or NSO’s to its employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company. Options generally vest 25% one year from the vest start date and ratably over the next 36 months and expire 10 years (five years in certain instances) after the date of grant.

 

Under the 1999 Plan and the 1998 Plan, options granted prior to December 1999 are immediately exercisable and options granted on or after December 1999 are generally exercisable only as the shares underlying the option become vested. Shares issued upon exercise of options that are unvested are subject to repurchase by the Company upon termination of that option recipient’s services to the Company. The Company is not obligated to repurchase such unvested shares. The repurchase price is the original exercise price, proportionately adjusted for any stock split or similar change in the capital structure of the Company. A stockholder who holds unvested shares is entitled to vote those shares and is entitled to receive dividends declared on those shares, but may not freely sell the shares until they become vested. There were 58,281, 232,664 and 685,939 shares issued under the 1999 Plan that were subject to repurchase at June 28, 2003, June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively. There were 15,376, 724,866 and 2,066,329 shares issued under the 1998 Plan at June 28, 2003, June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001 that were subject to repurchase, respectively. Upon adoption of the 2000 Plan, the Company transferred all shares available for grant under the 1999 Plan and the 1998 Plan to the 2000 Plan.

 

BlueLark 2000 Equity Incentive Plan

 

As part of the acquisition of BlueLark described in Note 4, the Company assumed incentive stock options and restricted stock awards granted under BlueLarks’s 2000 Equity Incentive Plan (BlueLark Plan). The incentive stock options generally vest 25% one year from the vest start date and ratably over the next 36 months and expire 10 years after the date of grant. The restricted stock awards were 16.67% vested at the date of grant, with the remaining shares vesting ratably over 40 months. The Company has reserved 47,615 shares of its common stock for issuance upon exercise of the outstanding options under the BlueLark Plan. No shares are available for future grants under the BlueLark Plan. There were 59,697 and 153,899 shares of the Company’s common stock issued pursuant to the BlueLark Plan that were subject to repurchase by the Company as of June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively. There were no shares of the Company’s common stock issued pursuant to the BlueLark Plan subject to repurchase by the Company as of June 28, 2003.

Warrants

 

In March 2003, in connection with its facility lease restructuring, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 150,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.719 per share. The fair value of these warrants, as determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, was $46,500, using the following assumptions: the contractual life between 1.0 and 4.5 years, risk-free interest rate of 1.20%, 108% expected volatility and no dividend yield. These warrants expire in March 2010.

 

In January 2003, in connection with its facility lease restructuring, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The fair value of these warrants, as determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, was $910,000, using the following assumptions: the contractual life of 0.6 years, risk-free interest rate of 1.20%, 108% expected volatility and no dividend yield. In January 2003, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of the warrants.

 

In January 2003, in connection with its facility lease restructuring, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 9,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.09 per share. The fair value of these warrants, as determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, was $2,790,000, using the following assumptions: the contractual life between 1.0 and 4.5 years, risk-free interest rate of 1.20%, 108% expected volatility and no dividend yield. These warrants expire in January 2008.

 

Deferred Stock Compensation

 

During the period from July 29, 1998 (date of inception) to June 30, 1999 and during fiscal 2000, the Company issued stock options under the 1998 Plan and the 1999 Plan at exercise prices deemed by the Board of Directors at the date of grant to be the fair value. The Company recorded deferred compensation for the difference between the purchase price of the stock issued to employees under stock options and the subsequently deemed fair value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. The total amount of deferred

 

20


stock compensation recorded in relation to these stock options issued was $102.0 million, of which $88.6 million was recorded during fiscal 2000. In addition, during fiscal 2001, the Company recorded $3.9 million of deferred compensation in relation to the unvested stock options and restricted stock assumed in the acquisition of BlueLark Systems, Inc. Deferred compensation is amortized to expense over the vesting period of the related options and restricted stock, generally four years. The Company amortized $8.2 million, $20.0 million and $32.8 million of deferred stock compensation during fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.

SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not. Based upon the weight of available evidence, which includes historical operating performance and the reported cumulative net losses in prior years, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

 

The net valuation allowance increased by $46.5, $19.1 million, and $39.4 million during fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.

 

As of June 28, 2003, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state purposes of $206.0 million and $124.0 million, respectively. The Company also had federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards of $6.4 million and $6.5 million, respectively. The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various dates beginning in 2007 if not utilized.

 

Utilization of the net operating losses and tax credits may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and tax credits before utilization.

 

21


11.    401(k) Plan

 

Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted a 401(k) tax-deferred savings plan (the 401k Plan) for essentially all of its employees. Eligible employees may make voluntary contributions to the 401k Plan of up to 15% of their annual eligible compensation subject to certain limitations prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code. The Company does not make any matching contributions to the 401k Plan.

 

12.    Business Segment Reporting

 

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, which requires the reporting of segment information using the “management approach”. Under this approach operating segments are identified in substantially the same manner as they are reported internally and used by the Company’s chief operating decision makers for purposes of evaluating performance and allocating revenue. Based on this approach, the Company has one reportable segment, handheld computing, as the chief operating decision makers review financial information on a basis consistent with that presented in these consolidated financial statements. The Company operates its operating segment, handheld computing, which includes organizers and integrated wireless devices known as communicators, from its headquarters.

Long-lived assets do not include securities included in other assets in the amount of $1.3 million and $1.1 million for fiscal year ended June 28, 2003 and June 29, 2002, respectively.

 

13.    Litigation

 

The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation, including those described below, arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of those matters that have not been fully adjudicated is currently not determinable, management does

 

22


not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. No estimate can be made of the possible loss or possible range of loss, if any associated with the resolution of these legal proceedings, claims and litigation. As a result, no loss has been accrued in the financial statements as of June 28, 2003. However, the results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. Should we fail to prevail in any of these legal matters or should several of these legal matters be resolved against the Company in the same reporting period, the operating results of a particular reporting period could be materially adversely affected.

 

On March 14, 2001, NCR Corporation filed suit against Handspring and Palm, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint alleges infringement of two U.S. patents. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory and treble damages and to permanently enjoin the defendants from infringing the patents in the future. Handspring filed an answer on April 30, 2001, denying NCR’s allegations and asserting counterclaims for declaratory judgments that it does not infringe the patents in suit, that the patents in suit are invalid, and that they are unenforceable. On June 14, 2002, following the retirement of the judge hearing the case, the case was referred to a magistrate. On July 11, 2002, the magistrate granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment finding that the Company did not infringe the patents. On August 29, 2002, NCR filed an objection to the magistrate’s ruling. On August 28, 2003, the new district judge rejected NCR’s objection and affirmed the magistrate’s ruling.

 

On June 19, 2001, DataQuill Limited filed suit against Handspring in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, case no. 01-CV-4635. The complaint alleges infringement of one U.S. patent. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory and treble damages and to permanently enjoin Handspring from infringing the patent in the future. The Company filed an answer on August 1, 2001, denying DataQuill’s allegations and asserting counterclaims for declaratory judgments that the Company does not infringe the patent in suit, that the patent in suit is invalid, and that it is unenforceable. On August 7, 2002, the Company filed motions for summary judgment for non-infringement and invalidity, which were renewed in filings made on October 29, 2002. On February 28, 2003, the Court granted in part and denied in part the Company’s summary judgment motions. DataQuill then filed a motion for this ruling to be reconsidered, which on April 16, 2003 the Court granted in part and denied in part.

 

On August 13, 2001, Handspring and two of its officers were named as defendants in a purported securities class action lawsuit filed in United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On September 6, 2001, a substantially identical suit was filed. These cases have been consolidated with hundreds of other so called “laddering” cases brought on similar grounds in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaints against Handspring assert that the prospectus for the Company’s June 20, 2000 initial public offering failed to disclose certain alleged actions by the underwriters for the offering. The complaints against Handspring allege claims against Handspring and two of its officers under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The complaints against Handspring also name as defendants the underwriters for the Handspring’s initial public offering. Handspring has sought indemnification from its underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement dated as of June 20, 2000 with the underwriters in connection with the Company’s initial public offering. On October 9, 2002, the Handspring officers named as defendants were dismissed without prejudice from these cases by court order. On July 9, 2003, a committee of Handspring’s Board of Directors conditionally approved a proposed partial settlement with the plaintiffs in this matter. The settlement would provide, among other things, a release of Handsprings and its officers, and Handspring’s agreement to assign to the plaintiffs certain potential claims Handspring may have against its underwriters. Any direct financial impact of the proposed settlement is expected to be borne by Handspring’s insurers.

 

On November 6, 2002, MLR, LLC filed an amended complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in a patent lawsuit that had been pending against other defendants, adding additional defendants, including Handspring. As to Handspring, the complaint alleges infringement of one U.S. patent. On February 5, 2003, the Company filed an answer denying infringement, and asserting counterclaims for declaratory judgments that the Company does not infringe the patents in suit and that the patents in suit are invalid. On January 24, 2003, the Company filed a related lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, seeking declaratory judgments that the MLR patents are invalid and not infringed by Handspring, and that MLR, by seeking to coerce businesses to buy unwanted and unneeded patent licenses, is engaged in conduct in violation of California Business & Professions Code section 17200. This second case was stayed pending a ruling on MLR’s motion before the Joint Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to consolidate various cases relating to the patent in question. On July 15, 2003, Handspring and MLR entered into an agreement whereby in exchange for a one time payment from Handspring, MLR agreed to grant Handspring a royalty-free, fully paid-up irrevocable license under the patent in dispute as well as MLR’s other issued and pending patents worldwide. The amount of this settlement is included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of June 28, 2003. In conjunction with that agreement, the litigation between the two companies was dismissed with prejudice. Settlement of this matter did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

On February 28, 2003, Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation and approximately 50 of its clients, including Handspring, were named as defendants in a securities class action lawsuit filed in United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The complaint also names as defendants numerous officers of CSFB and its clients including one current and one former Handspring officer. The complaint asserts wrongdoing relating to various initial public offerings in which Credit Suisse First Boston was involved between 1999 and 2001. Among other things, the complaint alleges that Handspring and/or its named current and former officers, violated Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and under Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On July 16, 2003, Handspring, its current and former officer, and numerous other defendants were dismissed from the case due to the plaintiff’s failure to effectuate service of process.

 

On June 17, 2003 and June 19, 2003, purported class action lawsuits were filed in Delaware Chancery Court, New Castle County, on behalf of the Company’s stockholders against Handspring, Palm, and a number of individuals alleged to be directors of Handspring. Both actions contain substantially identical allegations that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and its stockholders in connection with the proposed merger of the Company and Palm that was publicly announced on June 4, 2003, and that Palm aided and abetted these breaches of fiduciary duty. On June 23, 2003, an amended complaint was filed in one the two lawsuits. This amended complaint did not change the substantive allegations, but omitted as individual defendants persons who were not directors of the Company. The complaints seek to enjoin the proposed merger, to rescind the merger if it is not enjoined, to recover unspecified compensatory damages, and award unspecified attorneys’ fees and costs. There is no date fixed for the defendants to respond either to the complaints or to plaintiffs’ written discovery requests. Plaintiffs have not filed a motion for preliminary injunction, and there is no trial date.

PALM, INC.

 

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements give effect to the PalmSource distribution and the Handspring merger in accordance with Article 11 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation S-X. As a result of the PalmSource distribution, the operations of PalmSource will be accounted for by Palm as a discontinued operation as defined under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Handspring merger will be accounted under the purchase method of accounting.

 

In July 2001, Palm announced its plan to form a wholly owned subsidiary to own and operate Palm’s operating system platform and licensing business, subsequently named PalmSource, Inc. In December 2001, Palm and PalmSource entered into a Master Separation Agreement under which Palm transferred to PalmSource at December 3, 2001, the date of legal separation, or the separation date, substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Palm’s operating system and software business except for the Palm brands, trademarks and certain other related intellectual property which will be transferred to Palm Trademark Holding Company, LLC at a later date. Palm sells devices that incorporate PalmSource software to its customers under the terms of a Software License Agreement, as amended, or the software license agreement. Under the terms of this software license agreement, PalmSource has granted Palm certain rights to use, produce, grant end user sublicenses and distribute certain software for the period December 3, 2001 to December 3, 2006. PalmSource receives license and royalty fees based upon the shipment of Palm’s products which incorporate PalmSource software or on distribution by Palm of PalmSource software, subject to certain minimum annual commitments. PalmSource also receives fees for support and services.

 

On June 4, 2003, we entered into an agreement for the transaction which includes the PalmSource distribution and the Handspring merger. In the PalmSource distribution, the 10 million shares of PalmSource common stock held by Palm will be distributed to existing Palm stockholders on a pro rata basis. The final exchange ratio for the PalmSource distribution will be determined based on the number of shares of Palm common stock outstanding at the distribution date. For purposes of these unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements, our pro forma adjustments were based on a ratio of 0.32 of a share of PalmSource common stock to be distributed for every share of Palm common stock outstanding, based on Palm shares outstanding as of August 29, 2003 and this ratio is subject to change based on the issuance of additional shares of Palm common stock between now and the distribution date. The unaudited combined condensed balance sheet as of May 31, 2003 includes adjustments to reflect the elimination of the PalmSource business from Palm’s consolidated balance sheet. These adjustments reflect the requirements of the various agreements relating to the separation of PalmSource from Palm which result in certain transactions that will occur at the date of the PalmSource distribution and the recognition of intercompany balances which were eliminated in the consolidated balance sheet. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the year ended May 31, 2003 has been derived by eliminating the PalmSource business from the historical Palm financial results and recording cost of revenues for royalties due to PalmSource under the software license agreement, as amended, between PalmSource and Palm. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the year ended May 31, 2002 has been derived by eliminating the PalmSource business from the historical Palm financial results and recording cost of revenues and amortization of intangible assets for the cost incurred for the development and maintenance of the operating system (Palm OS) for the six months prior to December 3, 2001 and for the six months subsequent to December 3, 2001 recording cost of revenues for royalties due to PalmSource under the software license agreement between PalmSource and Palm. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the year ended May 31, 2001 has been derived by eliminating the PalmSource business from the historical Palm financial results and recording cost of revenues and amortization of goodwill and intangible assets for the cost incurred for the development and maintenance of the operating system (Palm OS). The total pro forma Solutions Group information substantially represents the historical results that will be presented in Palm’s statement of operations when PalmSource is reported as discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the

 


Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, following the transaction. All pro forma adjustments resulting from the elimination of the PalmSource business are described in the notes to the unaudited combined condensed pro forma financial statements under “Pro forma Adjustments—Separation of PalmSource.”

 

In the Handspring merger, the stockholders of Handspring will receive 0.09 of a share of Palm common stock for each share of Handspring common stock held. For purposes of the following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements, the purchase price is preliminarily estimated at $228.0 million. The estimated purchase price is comprised of (a) approximately $185.7 million representing the estimated fair value of Palm stock to be issued to Handspring stockholders, (b) $26.8 million representing the fair value of Handspring options and warrants to be assumed, (c) $7.5 million of estimated direct transaction costs of Palm and (d) $8.0 million of estimated other liabilities directly related to the acquisition. Because the value of the securities to be issued cannot be determined until the transaction is completed, such securities are preliminarily valued in these unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements based upon an estimated ex-dividend Palm share price of $13.78 (as more fully described in Note L to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Statements). Upon closing of the Handspring merger, the Company will value the transaction using a per share price based on an average over a reasonable period of time beginning with the first trading day that Palm trades without the right to receive the PalmSource distribution, which is a when-issued or the equivalent of an ex-dividend basis. This equivalent of the ex-dividend date is expected to be approximately two weeks before the closing date. However, the timing of such trading is dependent on the actions of market makers over whom Palm has no control. If an equivalent of an ex-dividend market does not develop, the accounting purchase price will be determined using a per share price based upon an average over a reasonable period of time beginning with the first trading days in palmOne common stock on a stand-alone basis. The estimated direct transaction costs consist primarily of investment banking, legal and accounting fees and printing costs to be incurred which are directly related to the proposed Handspring merger. The other liabilities directly related to the merger pertain to liabilities defined under Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 95-3, Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination. There can be no assurance that Palm and Handspring will not incur additional charges related to the Handspring merger or that management will be successful in its efforts to integrate the operations of the two companies. All pro forma adjustments resulting from the proposed Handspring merger are described in the Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Statements under “Pro Forma Adjustments—Handspring Merger.”

 

As required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the unaudited pro forma combined condensed statement of operations for the year ended May 31, 2003 give effect to the proposed PalmSource distribution as if the distribution took place on the the first day of fiscal year 2001 and the proposed Handspring merger as if it occurred on the first day of fiscal year 2003, with the exception that the purchase accounting adjustments were estimated based on the anticipated closing date of the Handspring merger.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statement of operations for the year ended May 31, 2003 has been derived from the audited historical consolidated statement of operations of Palm for the year ended May 31, 2003, the audited historical combined and consolidated statement of operations of PalmSource for the year ended May 31, 2003 and the audited historical consolidated statement of operations of Handspring for the year ended June 30, 2003.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of operations for the years ended May 31, 2001 and 2002 have been derived from the audited historical consolidated statements of operations of Palm for the years ended May 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively, and the audited combined and consolidated statement of operations of PalmSource for the years ended May 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

 

All per share data amounts reflect the retroactive effects of the Palm one-for-twenty reverse stock split effective October 15, 2002.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet as of May 31, 2003 gives effect to the above transactions as if they occurred on May 31, 2003. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet as

 


of May 31, 2003, has been derived from the audited historical consolidated balance sheet of Palm, the audited historical consolidated balance sheet of PalmSource, both as of May 31, 2003, and the audited historical consolidated balance sheet of Handspring as of June 30, 2003.

 

Because these unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements have been prepared based on preliminary estimates of fair values, the actual amounts recorded as of the completion of the Handspring merger may differ materially from the information presented in these unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial statements. The total estimated purchase price of the Handspring merger has been allocated on a preliminary basis to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon management’s best estimates of their fair value with the excess cost over the net tangible and intangible assets acquired being allocated to goodwill. This allocation is subject to change pending a final analysis of the total purchase cost and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final purchase price, as well as the impact of ongoing integration activities, the timing of the completion of the Handspring merger, changes in Handspring’s net tangible assets, estimated other liabilities directly related to the Handspring merger and changes in purchase accounting allocations could all cause material differences from the information presented.

 

The pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have been achieved if the PalmSource distribution and Handspring merger had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial position. Actual results could differ. The pro forma adjustments are based upon information and assumptions available at the time of the filing of this document. The pro forma information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes thereto, with Palm and Handspring’s historical financial statements and related notes thereto, incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus, and with PalmSource’s historical financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere within this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED

CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Pro Forma Adjustments—Separation of PalmSource

 

A.    Adjustment required to offset the subtraction of PalmSource revenues for intercompany royalty revenues eliminated in the historical consolidated Palm amounts and to offset the timing difference between the carveout revenue recognized by PalmSource compared to consolidated amounts. Pursuant to the terms of the software license agreement, as amended, between Palm and PalmSource effective December 3, 2001, PalmSource recognized intercompany license, royalty, support and service revenues of $39.1 million and $18.5 million for the years ended May 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, which are eliminated in Palm, Inc.’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, Palm defers revenue when collection is not considered probable. There is a timing difference between the revenue recognized in the Palm, Inc. Consolidated Statement of Operations and the carveout revenue recognized by PalmSource, as the PalmSource Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared after collection of the related accounts receivable had occurred.

 

B.    Adjustment required to record PalmSource royalty expense for the Solutions Group which is eliminated in the historical consolidated Palm amounts and the cost of development and maintenance of the Palm OS. Under the software license agreement, as amended, between Palm and PalmSource, Palm recognized intercompany license, royalty, support and service cost of revenues of $39.6 million and $22.0 million for the years ended May 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, which are eliminated in Palm, Inc.’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. PalmSource recognized these royalty revenues from Palm on a contractually reported basis which was one month in arrears from when the Solutions Group recognized cost of revenues. For the periods prior to December 3, 2001, the effective date of the software license agreement between Palm and PalmSource, the Solutions Group would have incurred costs for the development and maintenance of its operating system (Palm OS), therefore, the Solutions Group is recognizing the cost incurred for the development and maintenance of Palm OS. The Solutions Group is recognizing as cost of revenues, the research and development expenses of PalmSource of $26.0 million for the period prior to the effective date of the software license agreement in fiscal year 2002 and $55.9 million in fiscal year 2001 and a proportionate share of the cost of revenues of PalmSource of $1.3 million for the period prior to the effective date of the software license agreement in fiscal year 2002 and $1.8 million in fiscal year 2001.

 

C.    Amounts represent allocations from Palm for centralized accounting, real estate, information technology, and other Palm corporate services and infrastructure costs which were allocated to PalmSource based on headcount and percentage of revenues. If the distribution were to occur at the earliest date presented, these costs would have been incurred by Palm. The amount of allocations reflected in the adjustment to cost of revenues is less than $0.1 million for each of the years ended May 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

 

D.    Amounts represent a presentation adjustment of amortization of intangible assets and charges for amortization expense from PalmSource to the Solutions Group. PalmSource stand-alone financial statements include the applicable portion of amortization of goodwill and intangible assets in cost of revenues. This adjustment reclassifies amounts related to amortization of intangible assets attributed to PalmSource’s business included in cost of revenues of $4.5 million, $5.7 million and $2.9 million for the years ended May 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, to the amortization of intangible assets line item. The Solutions Group is recognizing the cost incurred for the development and maintenance of Palm OS. The amortization of intangible assets recorded by PalmSource prior to December 3, 2001, the effective date of the software license agreement between Palm and PalmSource, of $2.9 million and $9.4 million in fiscal years 2002 and 2001, respectively, has been attributed to the Solutions Group.

 

E.    Amount represents the reclassification of separation costs incurred by Palm relating to the PalmSource distribution to loss from discontinued operations.

 


F.    Amounts represent the PalmSource loss from operations and tax provision and the effect of various transactions between Palm and PalmSource. In accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” these amounts will be reported as loss from discontinued operations and the related income tax effect to account for the distribution.

 

G.    Amounts represent an adjustment of the tax provision to reflect the stand-alone Solutions Group tax expense.

 

H.    Amounts represent the assumption by PalmSource of $15.0 million of a convertible note due 2006 payable to a third party made by Palm which bears interest at 5.0% per annum and the automatic recapitalization of the $20.0 million PalmSource note payable to Palm, as additional paid-in capital immediately on the distribution date in accordance with the terms of the amended and restated intercompany loan agreement. The related accrued interest on the PalmSource note payable to Palm will be due and payable within seven days after the date of distribution. In addition, Palm will contribute an additional $6.0 million in cash to PalmSource at the date of distribution.

 

I.    Adjustments required to reflect the amounts due from and to PalmSource, previously eliminated in consolidation.

 

J.    Amount represents the goodwill and associated deferred tax impacts related to the WeSync acquisition recorded by Palm which was greater than that carved out as belonging to PalmSource due to the gross up of goodwill for deferred tax liabilities pursuant to SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which would have been accounted for differently if PalmSource had been a stand alone entity.

 

K.    Amounts represent the elimination of PalmSource’s common stock, additional paid-in capital, and accumulated deficit from the Solutions Group results assuming the distribution occurred at the earliest period presented. Additional paid-in capital also reflects the elimination of Palm’s investment in PalmSource upon distribution of PalmSource shares to Palm stockholders.

 

Pro Forma Adjustments—Handspring Merger

 

L.    These amounts represent adjustments related to the acquisition of Handspring under the purchase method of accounting. The total estimated purchase price of the merger with Handspring has been allocated on a preliminary basis to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon management’s best estimates of their fair value with the excess cost over the net tangible and intangible assets acquired allocated to goodwill. The preliminary estimated purchase price is allocated as follows and is for illustrative purposes only (in thousands):

 

          Amortization
Period


Net tangible assets    $ 3,161     
Deferred stock-based compensation      1,791     
Goodwill      201,792     
Intangible assets:            

Contracts and customer relationships

     11,400    2 years

Customer backlog

     5,000    Less than 1 year

Product technology

     3,000    2 years

Trademarks

     1,500    2 years

Non-compete agreements

     400    2 years
    

    

Estimated Purchase Price

   $ 228,044     
    

    

 

The estimated purchase price of $228.0 million is comprised of (a) approximately $185.7 million related to the estimated fair value of Palm stock to be issued to Handspring stockholders, (b) $26.8 million representing the fair value of Handspring options and warrants to be assumed, (c) $7.5 million of estimated direct transaction costs of Palm, and (d) $8.0 million of estimated other liabilities directly related to the acquisition.

 


The estimated fair value of Palm stock to be issued to Handspring stockholders and Handspring options and warrants to be assumed was calculated using an estimated ex-dividend Palm share price of $13.78 based upon the average closing market price of Handspring’s common stock for the five business days ending September 19, 2003 of $1.24 per share. Palm has used the market value of Handspring as an estimate of the fair value of the consideration to be issued because the Handspring stockholders will not receive any rights to the shares of PalmSource which are being distributed to Palm common stockholders prior to the consummation of the Handspring acquisition and there does not exist a separate market for either PalmSource common stock or for Palm common stock excluding the right to receive shares of PalmSource.

 

The fair value of Handspring options and warrants to be assumed were valued using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions: a risk free interest rate of 1.53%, volatility of 100%, a term of three years and a dividend yield of 0%.

 

The estimated other liabilities reflects liabilities defined under EITF No. 95-3, Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination, and includes $6.5 million related to facilities lease commitments in excess of the requirements of the combined company and $1.5 million related to workforce reduction costs. The amount related to facilities leases represents contractual commitments from the planned cease use date until the termination of the lease. Due to the depressed commercial real estate market, no sublease income has been estimated. The workforce reduction costs are primarily related to severance, benefits and related costs for approximately 30 Handspring employees, across all functional and geographic areas. The terms of the arrangement have been communicated to the affected employees and will be completed upon consummation of the merger. The amount of the estimated other liabilities cannot be finalized prior to consummation of the transaction.

 

The adjustment also reflects the elimination of the equity of Handspring and the issuance of Palm common stock and options to purchase common stock.

 

This allocation is subject to change pending a final analysis of the total purchase cost and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final purchase cost, as well as the impact of ongoing integration activities, the timing of the completion of the merger, changes in Handspring’s net tangible assets, estimated other liabilities directly related to the Handspring merger and changes in purchase accounting allocations, could all cause material differences from the information presented.

 

The table below is a pro forma analysis that reflects the impact of ex-dividend share prices for Palm common stock of $10.00, $15.00 and $20.00 per share upon the estimated purchase price and related goodwill and the related impact on the pro forma combined loss from continuing operations, net loss, net loss per share, amortization of intangible assets and amortization of deferred stock-based compensation resulting from the estimated value of Handspring stock options and warrants assumed in the transaction (in thousands, except per share amounts):

 

Palm ex-dividend share price

   $ 10.00     $ 15.00     $ 20.00  
     As of May 31, 2003

 

Total estimated purchase price

   $ 168,298     $ 247,456     $ 327,168  

Goodwill

   $ 157,508     $ 234,304     $ 311,021  
     Year Ended May 31, 2003

 

Loss from continuing operations

   $ (557,128 )   $ (558,178 )   $ (559,507 )

Shares used in computing net loss per share, basic and diluted

     42,545       42,545       42,545  

Amortization of intangible assets

   $ 9,608     $ 9,608     $ 9,608  

Amortization of deferred stock-based compensation

   $ 65     $ 1,115     $ 2,444  

 


M.    Amounts represent the adjustments to eliminate Handspring’s deferred revenue balance of $1.3 million and record Handspring’s estimated transaction costs of $3.7 million associated with the merger, at the balance sheet date. Handspring defers subsidy revenue earned from wireless carriers on a new customer service contract because the customers have a specified period of time in which they may cancel the contract. In accordance with EITF No. 01-03, Accounting in a Business Combination for Deferred Revenue of an Acquiree, the deferred revenue does not represent a legal performance obligation assumed by Palm and therefore it has been determined that the fair value is zero and it will not be recorded as a liability by the combined company.

 

N.    Amounts represent the elimination of Handspring’s common stock, additional paid-in capital, unamortized deferred stock based compensation, accumulated deficit and accumulated other comprehensive loss.

 

O.    Amounts represent a reclassification of selling, general and administrative expenses and amortization of intangible assets and deferred stock-based compensation of Handspring to conform to the Palm financial statement presentation.

 

P.    Amounts represent the amortization of approximately $1.8 million related to unvested options assumed in the acquisition of Handspring over their estimated remaining vesting term of approximately 2 years. Annual amortization amounts are: cost of revenues, less than $0.1 million; sales and marketing, $0.3 million; research and development, $0.2 million; and general and administrative, $0.3 million. This estimate is based on certain assumptions about the number of options granted, the intrinsic value of the options granted, and the remaining vesting term of the underlying options. These amounts are subject to change and can be finalized only on the date of completing the acquisition.

 

Q.    Amounts represent the amortization of intangible assets (per the allocation of the estimated purchase price in L. above) that would have been recorded during the year ended May 31, 2003 of $8.2 million had the transaction closed on the first day of fiscal year 2003. The intangible assets in Palm’s acquisition of Handspring will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a period approximating two years. In addition, for purposes of these pro forma statements, the amortization of approximately $5.0 million related to a customer backlog intangible asset is not included, as it is a non-recurring charge that is expected to be included in the combined company’s income statement within twelve months following the transaction. This allocation is an estimate, subject to change pending a final analysis of the total purchase price and the fair value of the intangibles acquired. When completed, certain amounts identified as intangible assets may be amortized over periods other than the period represented in the pro forma statement of operations. Additionally, a portion of the purchase price may be identified as in-process purchased technology. This amount, if any, will be charged to operating results of the combined company in the period the merger is completed and the purchase accounting and valuation amounts are finalized.

 

R.    Reflects the issuance of 0.09 of a share of Palm common stock for each share of Handspring common stock outstanding as of the balance sheet date. The computation of diluted net loss per share excludes securities outstanding that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future, but which were excluded in the computation of diluted net loss per share in the periods presented, as their effect would have been antidilutive.
