Our principal operations are located in an approximately 45,000 square foot facility in Santa Clara, California that is
leased through November 2004. Design, testing, research and development, sales and marketing, shipping and
administrative activities are performed in this facility. We are currently evaluating our facility requirements due to
the expiration of our lease in Santa Clara, California later this fiscal year, and will consider renewing our existing
lease or entering into a new lease at a different facility. We also lease a facility for our research and development
operation in Sophia-Antipolis, France. We believe that our existing facilities are adequate to meet our current and
foreseeable future needs. For additional information regarding our obligations under leases see Note 10 to the
consolidated financial statements contained in Part II, Item 8.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On January 21, 2004, we filed and served a complaint against Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB in the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division. The complaint alleges that certain
Sony Ericsson products infringe two 8x8 patents, U.S. Patent Numbers 6,441,842, issued on August 27, 2002, and
6,119,178, issued on September 12, 2000.
We are involved in various other legal claims and litigation that have arisen in the normal course of our operations.
While the results of such claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the final outcome
of such matters will not have a significantly adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash
flows. However, should we not prevail in any such litigation, our operating results, financial condition or cash flows
could be adversely impacted.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.
