PART I
 
Item 1.   Business
 
General
 
RadiSys Corporation is a leading provider of embedded advanced solutions for the communications networking and commercial systems markets. Through innovative product planning, intimate customer collaboration, and combining innovative technologies and industry leading architecture, we help original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), systems integrators and solution providers bring better products to market faster and more economically. Our products include embedded boards, application enabling platforms and turn-key systems, which are used in today’s complex computing, processing and network intensive applications. Unless context otherwise requires, or as otherwise indicated, “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms, as well as references to the “Company” and “RadiSys” refer to RadiSys Corporation and include all of our consolidated subsidiaries.
 
Our Strategy
 
Our strategy is to provide customers with standards-based advanced embedded solutions in our target markets. We believe this strategy enables our customers to focus their resources and development efforts on their key areas of competency allowing them to provide higher value systems with a time-to-market advantage and a lower total cost of ownership. Historically, system makers had been largely vertically integrated, developing most, if not all, of the functional building blocks of their systems. System makers are now more focused on their core expertise, such as specific application software, and are looking for partners like RadiSys to provide them with standards-based, merchant-supplied building blocks for a growing number of processing and networking functions.
 
Our Markets
 
We provide application enabling solutions to the following two distinct markets:
 
  •  Communications Networking — The communications networking market consists primarily of networking infrastructure and applications for deployment within our wireless and IP networking and messaging markets. Applications in these markets include 2, 2.5 and 3G wireless infrastructure products, IP media server platforms, packet based switches, unified messaging solutions, IP-based Private Branch Exchange (“PBX”) systems, voice messaging, multimedia conferencing, data centers, network access, security and switching applications.
 
  •  Commercial Systems — The commercial systems market includes the following sub-markets: medical systems, test and measurement equipment, transaction terminals and industrial automation equipment. Examples of products which incorporate our commercial embedded solutions include ultrasound equipment, X-Ray, MRI, immunodiagnostics and hematology systems, CAT Scan (“CT”) imaging equipment, network and production test equipment, consumer transaction terminals, semiconductor manufacturing equipment and electronics assembly equipment.
 
Our Market Drivers
 
We believe there are a number of fundamental drivers for growth in the embedded solutions market, including:
 
  •  Increasing desire by OEMs to utilize standards-based, merchant-supplied modular building blocks and platforms to develop their new systems. We believe OEMs are combining their internal development efforts with merchant-supplied building blocks and platforms from partners like RadiSys to deliver a larger number of more valuable new products to market faster at a lower total cost of ownership.
 
  •  Increasing usage levels of widely adopted technologies such as Ethernet, IP, Linux, media processing and CPU, GPU and NPU processors to provide programmable, intelligent and networked functionality

  to a wide variety of applications, including wireless, wireline and data communications, network security, image processing, transaction and monitoring and control.
 
  •  Increasing demand for standards-based solutions, such as Advanced Telecommunications Architecture (“ATCA”), Session Initiation Protocol (“SIP”), IP Multimedia Subsystem (“IMS”) and Computer-on-Module Express (“COM Express”) that motivates system makers to take advantage of proven and validated standards-based products.
 
Products
 
We design and manufacture a broad range of products at different levels of integration:
 
  •  Complete Turn-key Systems for the communications networking systems markets such as 10G (Gigabit) ATCA systems and carrier grade media servers (“Media Servers”);
 
  •  Embedded Subsystems and Functional Platforms using ATCA, COM Express and customer-specific proprietary platforms;
 
  •  Compute, Input/Output (“I/O”), Storage, Inter-networking and Packet Processing Blades; and
 
  •  Software, Middleware, and Microcode, including embedded Operating Systems, Basic Input Output System (“BIOS”), Service Availability (“SA”) Forum, Hardware Platform Interface (“HPI”), Intelligent Platform Management Interface (“IPMI”), and various protocol stacks including signaling, management and data plane protocols.
 
We have specific technical expertise in the following areas:
 
  •  System Architecture, Design and Integration;
 
  •  Software, Hardware and Platform Development;
 
  •  Embedded Operating Systems;
 
  •  Microprocessor-Based Design;
 
  •  Network Processor-Based Design;
 
  •  Media processing;
 
  •  Digital Signal Processor-Based Design; and
 
  •  Signaling Protocols.
 
Our products fall into two different categories: Standards-based Solutions and Perfect Fit (custom) Solutions.
 
Standards-based Solutions.  As a Premier Member of the Intel Communications Alliance, and as a long-time member of the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (“PICMG”), SCOPE and the SA Forum standards bodies, we believe that we continue to play a leading role in the development and deployment of system architectural standards that are most relevant to our markets. In the IP communications market we believe that we continue to play a leading role in the development and deployment of media server and Multimedia Resource Function (“MRF”) standards through our membership in the Third-Generation Partnership Project (“3GPP”) and our long-term contributions to the Internet Engineering Task Force (“IETF”).
 
Beginning in 2004 we shifted our product development investment from predominantly one-off custom-designed products (“perfect fit solutions”) to standards-based, re-usable platforms and systems (“standards-based solutions”). We believe standards-based solutions provide our customers a number of fundamental benefits. First, by using ready-made solutions rather than ground-start custom-designs, our customers can achieve significantly shorter product development intervals and faster time-to-market. Second, we believe our customers can achieve a lower total cost by using solutions that are leveraged across multiple applications rather than a single-use proprietary solution. The benefit to RadiSys is that by offering standards-based solutions, we believe we have the opportunity to address a wider range of new market opportunities with the potential for faster time to revenue than with one-off, custom-designs. We believe this ability to reuse designs

gives us more leverage and makes our business and investment model more scalable. Finally, we believe this standards-based model will allow us to provide more integrated and higher value solutions to our customers than we have typically delivered under a custom-design model. These higher value solutions should provide more product content and drive higher average selling prices and therefore more total revenue opportunity for our products.
 
We intend to increasingly focus our development effort on moving deeper into the data path and further up the software stack, positioning us to provide more complete application-ready platforms and more value for our customers. We believe that turn-key modular solutions such as ATCA platforms and Media Servers will grow to become a large and very attractive market to RadiSys. The success of our new ATCA projects is tied to future deployment of wireless voice, wireless data and VoIP applications by our customers. Likewise the success of our Media Servers is tied to the future deployment of IP Multimedia Subsystems (“IMS”).
 
We believe that ATCA and Media Servers will become more prevalent ways to implement network equipment and that it will reach multi-billion dollar levels over the next several years. However, history has shown us that rates of adoption in this space can be potentially slower than projected. For RadiSys, this is predominately a new market opportunity that has not existed in a meaningful way for us until now. Up until this point only a limited number of equipment makers have used merchant-supplied, standards-based modular platforms. Based on our interactions with customers, we believe this model will become more widely adopted as network equipment makers strive to bring more products to market faster and with lower design and product costs. Currently, our standards-based products do not make up a significant percentage of our total revenues, however, we believe design wins associated with these products will begin to ramp into production in 2008.
 
Perfect Fit Solutions.  Our perfect fit solutions are products tailored or customized to meet specific customer or application requirements. These solutions range from modifications of standard or existing products to complete development and supply of customized solutions. We draw on our experience and large design library to create products with varying degrees of customization. We will continue to invest a portion of our resources in perfect fit solutions as these opportunities are an integral part of our business model and leverage our existing know-how. We also believe that our customers will require and value some degree of customization of our standards-based platforms for some of their specific applications.
 
We have introduced or announced the following standards-based solutions products:
 
Promentumtm.  Our Promentumtm ATCA family includes a fully integrated application ready platform as well as a set of modular building blocks all configurable for a wide variety of applications. Going beyond simple building blocks, our ATCA strategy delivers a common managed platform for network element and dataplane applications, which offers a significant benefit to our customers. Utilizing the same managed platform for a variety of applications, Telecom Equipment Manufactures (“TEMs”) can reduce overall development time by up to 50% and significantly reduce development, lifecycle and equipment costs.
 
The Promentum SYS-6010 is the industry’s first ATCA 10Gigabit managed platform. The SYS-6010 is a fully integrated and validated managed platform designed to address high speed I/O and bandwidth intensive traffic-bearing applications. This platform is designed to be implemented in a flexible and reliable architecture complete with comprehensive system management. The Promentumtm ATCA building blocks are implemented in a modular fashion with seamless interoperability.
 
Additionally, we include data path and platform management software integrated into the Promentumtm ATCA product line. This enables TEMs to focus on developing the higher value application layer rather then spending precious resources developing basic protocols and platform management solutions.
 
Proceleranttm.  Our Proceleranttm CE blades and boards are designed for embedded applications that require a standard processor and memory subsystem, but also modular flexibility to retain key design level IP on a separate carrier board. Proceleranttm CE products are based on modular computing solutions. COM Express is a standard that provides a bridge from legacy interfaces such as PCI and IDE to new serial differential signaling technologies such as PCI Express, Serial ATA, USB 2.0, LVDS, and Serial DVO. Because they are modular and standards-based, our COM Express products help equipment manufacturers

shorten their time to market and reduce development costs. By making processor, chipset and memory modular and independent of the rest of the system design, manufacturers can focus engineering resources on developing differentiating features and avoid the design churn that comes with implementing new processor generations.
 
Convediatm Media Servers (“CMS”).  In the third quarter of 2006 we completed the acquisition of Convedia Corporation (“Convedia”) and entered the media server market with a portfolio of market leading IP media server products. RadiSys CMS enable service innovation and differentiation by providing powerful, reusable and highly scalable multimedia processing platforms for VoIP and IMS telecommunication service providers and enterprise customers. Together with our solution partners, the CMS family supports the next generation of feature rich, turnkey, high-value services that combine the best of the Internet and telecommunications worlds.
 
The CMS family consolidates the functions of traditional announcement servers, interactive voice response units, audio and video conference bridges, messaging platforms and speech platforms into a single, multi-service, open standards-compliant solution for network and enhanced services media processing. Our CMS share identical control interfaces, media processing features and management capabilities. The many features and benefits of our CMS allow our customers to increase revenues through delivery of new and innovative services, while reducing capital and ongoing operational costs. Our CMS-1000 and CMS-6000 media servers have been successfully deployed around the world. Our newest media servers, the CMS-3000 and CMS-9000, are optimized for IMS network deployments and are currently in field trials with customers.
 
Segments
 
RadiSys is one operating segment as determined by the way that management makes operating decisions and assesses RadiSys’ financial performance. See Note 19 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for segment information.
 
Competition
 
We have three different types of competitors:
 
  •  Our target customers — Our most significant competition is from our own customers and potential customers who choose to remain vertically integrated and continue to fully design and supply all or most of their own modules and sub-systems. However, we believe system makers are moving away from this propriety mode of system development and supply.
 
  •  Merchant Platform Providers — Some of these competitors include Embedded Communications Computing a division of Motorola, IP Unity, Mercury Computer Systems and Sun Microsystems.
 
  •  Merchant Board Providers — Some of these competitors include Advantech Co., a division within Emerson, a division within General Electric Company, a division within Intel Corporation, Interphase and Kontron AG.
 
We believe that our system level architecture and design expertise, coupled with our broad product portfolio and flexibility in working intimately with system makers, will enable us to differentiate our products against our competition. We believe our rapid design cycles and standards-based solutions will provide customers with a time to market advantage at a lower total cost.
 
Customers
 
Our customers include many leading system makers in a variety of end markets. Examples of these customers include: Agilent Technologies, Airvana, Arrow Electronics, Aspect Medical Systems, Avaya, Comverse Network Systems (“Comverse”)- a division of Comverse Technology, Fluke Electronics, Hewlett Packard, Huawei Technologies Co., IBM, Intel Corporation, Intercall, a division of West Corporation, Lucent Technologies, NexTone Communications, Nokia, Nortel Networks (“Nortel”), Philips Medical Systems, Siemens AG, Tektronix, and Universal Instruments.

Nokia and Nortel were our largest customers in 2006 accounting for 39.4% and 10.3% of total 2006 revenues, respectively.
 
Research, Development and Engineering
 
We believe that our research, development and engineering (“R&D”) expertise represents an important competitive advantage. Our R&D staff consisted of 279 engineers and technicians as of February 2, 2007. We currently have design centers located in the United States of America, Canada and China.
 
A majority of our R&D efforts are currently focused on the development of standards-based products targeted at a wide variety of applications. This is an important part of our strategy to provide a broader set of products and building blocks, which allows deployment of flexible solutions leveraged off of reusable designs and commercially available components. We believe this will result in significant savings in development time and investment for our customers and will increase the number of applications into which RadiSys solutions can be incorporated. In addition, we are increasingly combining our standards-based products to create more integrated and more complex hardware and software based systems.
 
A portion of our R&D efforts are focused on custom solutions for our customers, where existing functional building blocks are tailored to meet the customer’s specific needs. For these programs, our engineering team works closely with the customer’s engineering team to architect, develop and deliver solutions that meet their specific requirements using RadiSys functional building blocks. We engage in close and frequent communication during the design and supply process, allowing us to operate as a “virtual division” within a customer’s organization. We believe our in-depth understanding of embedded systems provides customers with specialized competitive solutions, earning RadiSys a strong incumbent position for future system development projects.
 
It is our objective to retain the rights to technology developed during the design process. In some cases, we agree to share technology rights, manufacturing rights, or both, with the customer. However, we generally retain nonexclusive rights to use any shared technology.
 
Sales and Marketing
 
Our products are sold through a variety of channels, including direct sales, distributors and sales representatives. The total direct sales and marketing headcount was 93 as of February 2, 2007. We use our dedicated cross-functional teams to develop long-term relationships with our customers, which is a means by which we achieve collaborative success. Our cross-functional teams include sales, application engineering, marketing, program management, supply chain management and design engineering. Our teams collaborate with our customers to combine their development efforts in key areas of competency with our standards-based or perfect-fit solutions to achieve higher quality, lower development and product cost and faster time to market for their products.
 
We market and sell our products in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), and Asia Pacific. In each of these geographies, products are sold principally through a direct sales force with our sales resources located in the United States of America, Canada, Europe, Israel, China and Japan. In addition, in each of these geographies we make use of an indirect distribution model and sales representatives to access additional customers. In 2006, global revenues were comprised geographically of 34.6% from North America,

48.1% from EMEA and 17.3% from Asia Pacific. See Note 19 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for financial information by geographic area.
 
Manufacturing Operations
 
We utilize a combination of internal and outsourced manufacturing. Total manufacturing operations headcount was 216 as of February 2, 2007. We currently manufacture approximately 20% to 30% of our own products and intend to continue to outsource the majority of our products to manufacturing services partners for better global customer fulfillment and reduced cost.
 
We have an automated ISO9001 certified plant in Hillsboro, Oregon that provides board and systems assembly and testing. This plant includes an automated line for Surface Mount Technology (“SMT”), double-sided board assembly and facilities for systems integration, configuration and testing. Because the products into which building blocks are integrated typically have long life reliability requirements, dynamic stress testing of our products must be particularly rigorous. We believe our product testing processes are a competitive advantage.
 
We also have a facility in Vancouver, British Columbia which is responsible for the final integration, testing and delivery of Media Server systems. This includes working with our contract manufacturer to manufacture and functionally test all hardware components of an end system.
 
Although many of the raw materials used in our internal and outsourced manufacturing operations are available from a number of alternative sources, some of these are obtained from a single supplier or a limited number of suppliers. We and our outsourced manufacturing partners contract with third parties for a continuing supply of the components used in the manufacture of our products. We currently rely solely on Intel for the supply of some microprocessors and other components. Alternative sources of components that are procured from one supplier or a limited number of suppliers would be difficult to locate and/or it would require a significant amount of time and resources to establish and accommodate.
 
We also rely on contract manufacturers with for certain RadiSys products. Alternative sources of manufacturing services for the RadiSys products, including transitioning the products, could require significant time and resources to establish. In addition, any decline in the quality of components supplied by our vendors or products produced by our contracting manufacturing partners could adversely impact our reputation and business performance. We have experienced less than optimal service from one of our contract manufacturers in North America. As a result, we have discontinued our relationship with this contract manufacturer and are transitioning the majority of this production to our Hillsboro facility.
 
Backlog
 
As of December 31, 2006, our backlog was approximately $21.7 million, compared to $25.1 million as of December 31, 2005. We include in our backlog statistic all purchase orders scheduled for delivery within 12 months. The general trend within our addressable markets continues to be shorter lead times and supplier managed inventory, which has been decreasing backlog over time as a percentage of revenue.
 
Intellectual Property
 
We hold 25 U.S. and two foreign utility patents, three U.S. design patents and have five U.S. and 18 foreign patent applications pending; however, we rely principally on trade secrets, know how and rapid time to market for protection and leverage of our intellectual property. We believe that our competitiveness depends much more on the pace of our product development, trade secrets, and our relationships with customers than in filed and issued patents. We have from time to time been made aware of others in the industry who assert exclusive rights to certain technologies, usually in the form of an offer to license certain rights for fees or royalties. Our policy is to evaluate such claims on a case-by-case basis. We may seek to enter into licensing agreements with companies having or asserting rights to technologies if we conclude that such licensing arrangements are necessary or desirable in developing specific products.

Employees
 
As of February 2, 2007 we had 699 employees, of which 606 were regular employees and 93 were agency temporary employees or contractors. We are not subject to any collective bargaining agreement, have never been subject to a work stoppage, and believe that we have maintained good relationships with our employees.
 
Change of Auditor
 
On May 9, 2005 we informed PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP (“PwC”) that PwC had been dismissed as our independent registered public accounting firm and on May 12, 2005, we engaged KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006.

Item 1A.   Risk Factors Related to Our Business
 
Because of our dependence on certain customers, the loss of, or a substantial decline in sales to, a top customer could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and profitability.
 
During 2006, we derived 66.7% of our revenues from five customers. These five customers were Nokia, Nortel, Comverse, Philips Medical Systems and Avaya. During 2006, revenues attributable to Nokia and Nortel were 39.4% and 10.3%, respectively. A financial hardship experienced by, or a substantial decrease in sales to any one of our top customers could materially affect revenues and profitability. Generally, these customers are not the end-users of our products. If any of these customers’ efforts to market the end products we design and manufacture for them or the end products into which our products are incorporated are unsuccessful in the marketplace our design wins, sales and/or profitability will be significantly reduced. Furthermore, if these customers experience adverse economic conditions in the markets into which they sell our products (end markets), we would expect a significant reduction in spending by these customers. Some of the end markets that these customers sell our products into are characterized by intense competition, rapid technological change and economic uncertainty. Our exposure to economic cyclicality and any related fluctuation in demand from these customers could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and financial condition.
 
We are shifting our business from predominately perfect fit (custom) solutions to more standards-based products, such as ATCA, COM Express and Media Servers. This requires substantial expenditures for R&D that could adversely affect our short-term earnings and, if this strategy is not successful could have a material adverse effect on our long-term revenues, profitability and financial condition.
 
We are shifting our business from predominately perfect fit solutions to more standards-based solutions, such as ATCA, COM Express and Media Server products. There can be no assurance that this strategy will be successful. This strategy requires us to make substantial expenditures for R&D in new technologies that we reflect as a current expense in our financial statements. We believe that these investments in standards-based products and new technologies will allow us to provide a broader set of products and building blocks to take to market and position us to grow on a long-term basis. Most of these investments are not expected to result in significant revenues for at least twelve to twenty-four months. Accordingly, these expenditures could adversely

affect our short-term earnings. In addition, there is no assurance that these new products and technologies will be accepted by our customers and, if accepted, how large the market will be for these products or what the timing will be for any meaningful revenues. If we are unable to successfully develop and sell standards-based products to our customers, our revenues, profitability and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Additionally, if we successfully develop standards-based products we may incur incremental R&D expenses as we tailor the standards-based products for our customers. Furthermore, we are building standards-based products to meet industry standards that define the basis of compatibility in operation and communication of a system supported by different vendors. Those standards constantly change and new competing standards emerge. The development or adaptation of products and technologies require us to commit financial resources, personnel and time significantly in advance of sales. In order to compete, our decisions with respect to those commitments must accurately anticipate, sometimes two years or more in advance, both future demand and the technologies that will win market acceptance to meet that demand.
 
Our projections of future revenues and earnings are highly subjective and may not reflect future results which could cause volatility in the price of our common stock.
 
Most of our major customers have contracts but these contracts do not commit them to purchase a minimum amount of our products. These contracts generally require our customers to provide us with forecasts of their anticipated purchases. However, our experience indicates that customers can change their purchasing patterns quickly in response to market demands and therefore these forecasts may not be relied upon to accurately forecast sales. From time to time we provide projections to our shareholders and the investment community of our future sales and earnings. Since we do not have long-term purchase commitments from our major customers and the customer order cycle is short, it is difficult for us to accurately predict the amount of our sales and related earnings in any given period. Our projections are based on management’s best estimate of sales using historical sales data, information from customers and other information deemed relevant. These projections are highly subjective since sales to our customers can fluctuate substantially based on the demands of their customers and the relevant markets. Our period to period revenues have varied in the past and may continue to vary in the future. In addition and as stated above, we have a high degree of customer concentration. Any significant change in purchases by any one of our largest customers can significantly affect our sales and profitability.
 
If demand for our products fluctuates, our revenues, profitability and financial condition could be adversely affected. Important factors that could cause demand for our products to fluctuate include:
 
  •  changes in customer product needs;
 
  •  changes in the level of customers’ inventory;
 
  •  changes in business and economic conditions, including a downturn in the semiconductor industry; and
 
  •  market acceptance of our products.
 
We have recently experienced significant changes in purchases by one of our large customers which adversely impacted the fiscal period in which it occurred. If our actual sales or earnings are less than the projected amounts, the price of our common stock may be adversely affected and accordingly our shareholders should not place undue reliance on these projections.
 
In addition, the price of our common stock may be adversely affected due to other factors, such as changes in analysts’ estimates regarding earnings, or may be due to factors relating to the commercial systems and communication networking markets in general. Shareholders should be willing to incur the risk of such fluctuations.

Not all new design wins ramp into production, and if ramped into production the volumes derived from such projects may not be as significant as we had originally estimated, which could have a substantial negative impact on our anticipated revenues and profitability.
 
From time to time we estimate the revenue from design wins, which represents three years of revenue once product development has ramped into production. If a design win actually ramps into production, the average ramp into production begins about 12 to 18 months after the initial design win, although some more complex projects can take up to 24 months or longer. After that, there is an additional time lag from the start of production ramp to peak revenue. Not all design wins ramp into production and even if a design win ramped into production, the volumes derived from such projects may be less than we had originally estimated. Design wins are sometimes canceled or delayed, or can perform below original expectations, which can adversely impact anticipated revenues and profitability.
 
Our business depends on the communications networking and commercial systems markets in which demand can be cyclical, and any inability to sell products to these markets or forecast customer demand could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and gross margin.
 
We derive our revenues from a number of diverse end markets, some of which are subject to significant cyclical changes in demand. In 2006, we derived 74.4% and 25.6% of our revenues from the communications networking and commercial systems markets, respectively. We believe that our revenues will continue to be derived primarily from these two markets. Communications networking revenues include, but are not limited to, sales to Airvana, Aspect Medical Systems, Avaya, Comverse, Hewlett Packard, Huawei Technologies Co., IBM, Intel Corporation, Intercall, a division of West Corporation, Lucent, NexTone Communications, Nokia, Nortel and Siemens AG. Commercial systems revenues include, but are not limited to, sales to Agilent Technologies, Arrow Electronics, Fluke Electronics, Philips Medical Systems, Tektronix and Universal Instruments. Generally, our customers are not the end-users of our products. If our customers experience adverse economic conditions in the markets into which they sell our products (end markets), we would expect a significant reduction in spending by our customers. Some of these end markets are characterized by intense competition, rapid technological change and economic uncertainty. Our exposure to economic cyclicality and any related fluctuation in customer demand in these end markets could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and financial condition. Significant reduction in our customers’ spending, such as what we experienced in 2001 and 2002, will result in decreased revenues and earnings. We continue to execute on our strategy of expanding into new end markets either through new product development projects with our existing customers or through new customer relationships, but no assurance can be given that this strategy will be successful.
 
We forecast manufacturing needs based on our customer demand mentioned above. Changes in this demand could cause us or our contract manufacturers to hold excess or obsolete inventory that may not be salable to other customers on commercially reasonable terms, and which could require inventory valuation write downs that reduce our gross margin and profitability. This risk is exacerbated by a current trend from our customers of requiring shorter lead times between placing orders with us and the shipment date. That typically necessitates an increase in our inventory or inventory of our products at our contract manufacturers’ locations, raising the likelihood that upon cancellation or deferral, we may be holding greater amounts of inventory and/or incurring additional costs. Additionally, we are contractually obligated to reimburse our contract manufacturers for the cost of excess inventory used in the manufacture of our products for which there is no forecasted or alternative use. Unexpected decreases in customer demand or our inability to accurately forecast customer demand could result in increases in our adverse purchase commitment liability and have a material adverse effect on our gross margins and profitability.

Because of our dependence and our contract manufacturers’ dependence on a few suppliers, or in some cases one supplier, for some of the components we use, as well as our dependence on a few contract manufacturers to supply a majority of our products, a loss of a supplier, a decline in the quality of these components, a shortage of any of these components, or a loss or degradation in performance of a contract manufacturer could have a material adverse effect on our business or our profitability.
 
We depend on a few suppliers, or in some cases one supplier, for a continuing supply of the components we use in the manufacture of our products and any disruption in supply could adversely impact our financial performance. For example, we currently solely rely on Intel for the supply of some microprocessors and other components. Alternative sources of components that are procured from one supplier or a limited number of suppliers would be difficult to locate and/or it would require a significant amount of time and resources to establish.
 
We also rely on contract manufacturers for the supply of approximately 80% of all of our unit volume. If these third party manufacturers fail to adequately perform our revenues and profitability could be adversely affected. Among other things, inadequate performance from our contract manufacturers could include the production of products that do not meet our high quality standards or schedule and delivery requirements and could cause us to invest in additional internal resources as we lose productivity on other important projects. In addition, alternative internal or external sources of manufacturing for RadiSys products could require significant time and resources to establish or transition. We have experienced less than optimal service from one of our contract manufacturers in North America. As a result, we have discontinued our relationship with this contract manufacturer and are currently transitioning the majority of this production to our Hillsboro facility. However, we may incur additional and unanticipated expenses or delays which may have a material adverse effect on our business or our financial performance. Also, due to the inherent risks associated with the transfer of production we may incur additional expenses related to adverse purchase commitments or excess and obsolete inventory.
 
The failure to successfully integrate Convedia’s business into our operations in the expected time frame, or at all, may adversely affect our future results.
 
We believe that the acquisition of Convedia, completed in September 2006 will result in certain benefits, including expanded global reach and increased product offerings. However, to realize these anticipated benefits, Convedia’s business must be successfully integrated into RadiSys’ operations by focusing on general and administrative, manufacturing and marketing and sales cooperation. The success of the Convedia acquisition will depend on our ability to realize these anticipated benefits from integrating Convedia’s business into our operations. We may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the Convedia acquisition on a timely basis, or at all, for a variety of reasons, including the following:
 
  •  failure to effectively coordinate sales and marketing efforts to communicate the capabilities of the Company;
 
  •  potential difficulties integrating and harmonizing financial reporting or other critical systems; and
 
  •  the loss of key employees.
 
We operate in intensely competitive industries, and our failure to respond quickly to technological developments and incorporate new features into our products could have an adverse effect on our ability to compete.
 
We operate in intensely competitive industries that experience rapid technological developments, changes in industry standards, changes in customer requirements, and frequent new product introductions and improvements. If we are unable to respond quickly and successfully to these developments, we may lose our competitive position, and our products or technologies may become uncompetitive or obsolete. To compete successfully, we must maintain a successful R&D effort, develop new products and production processes, and improve our existing products and processes at the same pace or ahead of our competitors. We may not be able to successfully develop and market these new products; the products we invest in and develop may not be

well received by customers; and products developed and new technologies offered by others may affect the demand for our products. These types of events could have a variety of negative effects on our competitive position and our profitability and financial condition, such as reducing our revenue, increasing our costs, lowering our gross margin percentage, and requiring us to recognize and record impairments of our assets.
 
Competition in the market for embedded systems is intense, and if we lose our market share, our revenues and profitability could decline.
 
We compete with a number of companies providing embedded systems, including Advantech Co., AudioCodes, Embedded Communications Computing, a division of Motorola, a division within Emerson, a division within General Electric Company, Hewlett Packard, divisions within both Intel Corporation and IBM, Interphase, IP Unity, Kontron AG, Mercury Computer Systems and Sun Microsystems. Because the embedded systems market is growing, it is attracting new non-traditional competitors. These non-traditional competitors include contract-manufacturers that provide design services and Asian-based original design manufacturers. Some of our competitors and potential competitors have a number of significant advantages over us, including:
 
  •  a longer operating history;
 
  •  greater name recognition and marketing power;
 
  •  preferred vendor status with our existing and potential customers; and
 
  •  significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, which allow them to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities, technologies and customer requirements.
 
Furthermore, existing or potential competitors may establish cooperative relationships with each other or with third parties or adopt aggressive pricing policies to gain market share.
 
As a result of increased competition, we could encounter significant pricing pressures. These pricing pressures could result in significantly lower average selling prices for our products. We may not be able to offset the effects of any price reductions with an increase in the number of customers, cost reductions or otherwise. In addition, many of the industries we serve, such as the communications industry, are encountering market consolidation, or are likely to encounter consolidation in the near future, which could result in increased pricing pressure and additional competition thus weakening our position or causing delays in new design wins and their associated production.
 
Potential acquisitions and partnerships may be more costly or less profitable than anticipated and may adversely affect the price of our company stock.
 
Future acquisitions and partnerships may involve the use of significant amounts of cash, potentially dilutive issuances of equity or equity-linked securities, issuance of debt and amortization of intangible assets with determinable lives. We may also be required to charge against earnings upon consummation of the acquisition the value of an acquired business’ technology that does not meet the accounting definition of “completed technology.” Moreover, to the extent that any proposed acquisition or strategic investment is not favorably received by shareholders, analysts and others in the investment community, the price of our common stock could be adversely affected. In addition, acquisitions or strategic investments involve numerous risks, including:
 
  •  difficulties in the assimilation of the operations, technologies, products and personnel of the acquired company;
 
  •  the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns;
 
  •  risks of entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience;
 
  •  the potential loss of key employees of the acquired company; and
 
  •  performance below expectations by an acquired business.

In the event that an acquisition or a partnership does occur and we are unable to successfully integrate operations, technologies, products or personnel that we acquire, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. We may expend additional resources without receiving benefit from strategic alliances with third parties.
 
Our international operations expose us to additional political, economic and regulatory risks not faced by businesses that operate only in the United States.
 
In 2006, as measured by delivery destination, we derived 4.0% of our revenues from Canada and Mexico, 48.1% of our revenues from EMEA and 17.3% from Asia Pacific. In 2004 we opened a development center in Shanghai, China and began to utilize a contract manufacturer in Shenzhen, China. For the year ended December 31, 2006, approximately 52% of our total revenues were associated with products produced at our China contract manufacturer. Also during 2006 we completed the acquisition of Convedia which includes significant operations in Vancouver, British Columbia. As a result of all these activities, we are subject to worldwide economic and market condition risks generally associated with global trade, such as fluctuating exchange rates, tariff and trade policies, domestic and foreign tax policies, foreign governmental regulations, political unrest, wars and other acts of terrorism and changes in other economic conditions. These risks, among others, could adversely affect our results of operations or financial position. Additionally, some of our sales to overseas customers are made under export licenses that must be obtained from the United States Department of Commerce. Protectionist trade legislation in either the United States of America or other countries, such as a change in the current tariff structures, export compliance laws, trade restrictions resulting from war or terrorism, or other trade policies could adversely affect our ability to sell or to manufacture in international markets. Furthermore, revenues from outside the United States of America are subject to inherent risks, including the general economic and political conditions in each country. These risks, among others, could adversely affect our results of operations or financial position.
 
If we are unable to generate sufficient income in the future, we may not be able to fully utilize our net deferred tax assets or support our current levels of goodwill and intangible assets on our balance sheet.
 
We cannot provide absolute assurance that we will generate sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the net deferred tax assets of $30.3 million as of December 31, 2006. We may not generate sufficient taxable income due to earning lower than forecasted net income or incurring charges associated with unusual events, such as restructurings and acquisitions. Accordingly, we may record a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets if our expectations of future taxable income are not achieved. On the other hand, if we generate taxable income in excess of our expectations, the valuation allowance may be reduced accordingly. We also cannot provide absolute assurance that future income will support the carrying amount of goodwill and intangibles of $110.1 million on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2006, and therefore, we may incur an impairment charge in the future.
 
Our products for embedded solutions are based on industry standards, which are continually evolving, and any failure to conform to these standards or lack of success of these standards could have a substantial negative impact on our revenues and profitability. In addition, these standards could take longer to be deployed or may not be deployed at all.
 
We develop and supply a mix of perfect fit and standards-based products. Standards-based products for embedded computing applications are often based on industry standards, which are continually evolving. Our future success in these products will depend, in part, upon our capacity to invest in, and successfully develop and introduce new products based on emerging industry standards. Our inability to invest in or conform to these standards could render parts of our product portfolio uncompetitive, unmarketable or obsolete. As new standards are developed for our addressable markets standards, we may be unable to successfully invest in, design and manufacture new products that address the needs of our customers or achieve substantial market acceptance.

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, we may lose a valuable competitive advantage or be forced to incur costly litigation to protect our rights.
 
We are a technology dependent company, and our success depends on developing and protecting our intellectual property. We rely on patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secret laws to protect our intellectual property. At the same time, our products are complex, and are often not patentable in their entirety. We also license intellectual property from third parties and rely on those parties to maintain and protect their technology. We cannot be certain that our actions will protect proprietary rights. If we are unable to adequately protect our technology, or if we are unable to continue to obtain or maintain licenses for protected technology from third parties, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, some of our products are now designed, manufactured and sold outside of the United States of America. Despite our precautions to protect our intellectual property, this international exposure may reduce or limit protection of our intellectual property which is more prone to design piracy.
 
Changes in stock-based compensation accounting rules have adversely impacted our operating results and may adversely impact our stock price.
 
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as expense in the financial statements based on their fair values and does not allow the pro forma disclosure previously used as an alternative to financial statement recognition.
 
We were required to adopt SFAS 123R in the first quarter of 2006. Under SFAS 123R, we applied the Black-Scholes valuation model in determining the fair value of share-based payments, with adjustments to the methodology as necessary for reporting under SFAS 123R guidelines. As a result, our operating results for the year ended December 31, 2006 contain, and our operating results for future periods will contain, a charge for share-based compensation related to stock options and shares pursuant to the 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), in addition to the share-based compensation associated with our restricted share awards and restricted stock units (“restricted stock”). SFAS 123R had a significant impact on our operating results for the year ended December 31, 2006, with SFAS 123R charges of $6.6 million increasing operating losses to $22.2 million, and we expect the adoption of SFAS 123R will continue to have a significant adverse impact on our operating results in the future. We anticipate that stock-based compensation will increase by $3.4 million to approximately $10 million in 2007 due primarily to the 2004 acceleration of employee stock options with an option price greater than $15.99. As a result of the acceleration, we reduced the amount of stock based compensation expense recognized in 2006; however, in 2007 stock based compensation expense will increase as the benefit from the acceleration will have been fully utilized. The increase is also due to the acquisition of Convedia. We cannot predict the effect that this adverse impact on our reported operating results will have on the trading price of our common stock.
 
Decreased effectiveness of share-based payment awards could adversely affect our ability to attract and retain employees.
 
We have historically used stock options and other forms of share-based payment awards as key components of our total rewards employee compensation program in order to retain employees and provide competitive compensation and benefit packages. In accordance with SFAS 123R, we began recording charges to earnings for stock-based compensation expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. As a result, we will incur increased compensation costs associated with our stock-based compensation programs making it more expensive for us to grant share-based payment awards to employees in the future. Like other companies, we have reviewed our equity compensation strategy in light of the current regulatory and competitive environment and have decided to reduce the total number of options granted to employees and the number of employees who receive share-based payment awards. Due to this change in our stock-based compensation strategy, we may find it difficult to attract, retain and motivate employees, and any such difficulty could materially adversely affect our business.

We depend on the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel, and our failure to attract and retain such personnel could seriously harm our business.
 
Due to the specialized nature of our business, our future performance is highly dependent upon our ability to attract and retain qualified engineering, manufacturing, marketing, sales and management personnel for our operations. Competition for personnel is intense, and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel. Our failure to compete for these personnel could seriously harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, if incentive programs we offer are not considered desirable by current and prospective employees, we could have difficulty retaining or recruiting qualified personnel. If we are unable to recruit and retain key employees, our product development, and marketing and sales could be harmed.
 
Our disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting do not guarantee the absence of error or fraud.
 
Disclosure controls are procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Annual Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed to ensure that the information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Internal control over financial reporting (“internal controls”) are procedures which are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of RadiSys; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of RadiSys are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of RadiSys; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of RadiSys’ assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. To the extent that components of our Internal Controls are included in our disclosure controls, they are included in the scope of our quarterly controls evaluation.
 
Our management, including the CEO and CFO, do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and we cannot assure that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Oregon corporate law, our articles of incorporation and our bylaws contain provisions that could prevent or discourage a third party from acquiring us even if the change of control would be beneficial to our shareholders.
 
Our articles of incorporation and our bylaws contain anti-takeover provisions that could delay or prevent a change of control of our company, even if a change of control would be beneficial to our shareholders. These provisions:
 
  •  authorize our board of directors to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares without prior shareholder approval to increase the number of outstanding shares and deter or prevent a takeover attempt;
 
  •  establish advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by shareholders at shareholder meetings;
 
  •  prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would otherwise allow less than a majority of shareholders to elect director candidates; and
 
  •  limit the ability of shareholders to take action by written consent, thereby effectively requiring all common shareholder actions to be taken at a meeting of our common shareholders.
 
In addition, if our common stock is acquired in specified transactions deemed to constitute “control share acquisitions,” provisions of Oregon law condition the voting rights that would otherwise be associated with those common shares upon approval by our shareholders (excluding, among other things, the acquirer in any such transaction). Provisions of Oregon law also restrict, subject to specified exceptions, the ability of a person owning 15% or more of our common stock to enter into any “business combination transaction” with us.
 
The foregoing provisions of Oregon law and our articles of incorporation and bylaws could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.
 
Other Risk Factors Related to Our Business
 
Other risk factors include, but are not limited to, changes in the mix of products sold, regulatory and tax legislation, changes in effective tax rates, inventory risks due to changes in market demand or our business strategies, potential litigation and claims arising in the normal course of business, credit risk of customers and other risk factors. Additionally, proposed changes to accounting rules could materially affect what we report under generally accepted accounting principles and adversely affect our operating results.

As of February 28, 2007, there were approximately 380 holders of record of our common stock. We believe that the number of beneficial owners is substantially greater than the number of record holders because a large portion of our outstanding common stock is held of record in broker “street names” for the benefit of individual investors.
 
Dividend Policy
 
We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not expect to declare cash dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future in compliance with our policy to retain all of our earnings to finance future growth.

Item 7.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Overview
 
We have shifted more of our investments from predominantly perfect fit (custom) solutions to standards-based solutions. We believe standards-based solutions provide our customers a number of fundamental benefits. First, by using ready-made platform solutions rather than ground-start custom-designs, our customers can achieve significantly shorter product intervals and faster time-to-market. Second, we believe our customers can achieve a lower total cost by using solutions that are leveraged across multiple applications rather than a single-use proprietary solution. By offering ready-made solutions, we believe we have the opportunity to address a wider range of new market opportunities with the potential for faster time to revenue than with ground-start, custom-designs. We believe this ability to reuse designs makes our business and investment model more scalable. Finally, we believe a more standards-based product model will allow us to provide more

integrated higher value solutions to our customers than we have typically delivered under a custom-design model. These higher value solutions drive higher price points and therefore more total revenue opportunities for our products.
 
In 2005, we announced our plan for the Promentumtm family of ATCA products. The Promentumtm family of products include turnkey platforms, universal carrier cards, switch and control modules, disk storage modules, compute modules, packet processing modules and various chassis models. The Promentumtm SYS-6000 integrates these individual products into a blade server platform system. We believe the Promentumtm SYS-6000 system will provide customers a highly reliable managed platform on which to build their new voice and data offerings. The Promentumtm ATCA-7010 is a packet processing module that allows the highest bandwidth available in a single ATCA® slot. This product features dual Intel® IXP28xx network processors and is designed to address 10 Gbps wirespeed packet processing in network applications that demand high bandwidth throughput such as security gateways, GGSN’s, Broadband-Remote Access Servers, edge routers and session controllers. We have significant experience in the design, delivery and deployment of carrier-grade, modular platforms. We believe the ATCA standard increases our opportunity to implement reusable platforms, enabling the deployment of more flexible solutions based on cost-effective commercial technologies. We believe our core ATCA solutions will be applicable across a wide range of customers and applications. These integrated hardware and software platforms make extensive use of common system architectural and component designs, using carrier grade operating systems and middleware, and will reduce development time and costs, which enhances application portability.
 
In 2006, we announced nine new products in our Promentum family of ATCA solutions. Specifically, we announced our new Promentum SYS-6010, the industry’s first 10-gigabit managed ATCA platform that will provide the highest traffic capacity throughput and processing densities available today. Our SYS-6010 is targeted at data plane applications such as IMS, Radio Network and Base Station Controllers, Media Gateways, Call Servers, IPTV among a number of applications. As of December 31, 2006 our SYS-6010 became generally available to our larger customer base. We also introduced two new products based on the latest OCTEON processors from Cavium Networks. The new ATCA and AMC solutions provide high density Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with sophisticated dataplane hardware acceleration. These products will help equipment manufacturers reduce R&D costs while accelerating the introduction of high performance products such as Radio Network Controllers, Session Border Controllers, Media Gateways, Edge Routers and Security Gateways. Our new AMC-7211 product provides power efficient packet and security processing for customers requiring AMC modules for their ATCA and MicroTCA platforms. The ATCA-7200 is a high performance modular gigabit line card equipped with up to four Cavium OCTEON Plus processor AMCs. Both products have been well received in the market and we expect to begin delivery of evaluation units in the second quarter of 2007.
 
In addition to our new ATCA offerings, we announced our new Proceleranttm series of modular computing solutions, for customers in our commercial systems market for medical, transaction terminals and test and measurement and other commercial applications. These new modular products are now available, and we believe this family of high density, flexible solutions will enable commercial systems customers to achieve more rapid time to market with cost effective designs. Our new Procelerant 945-GM will be the industry’s first COM Express product that supports low voltage mobile technology. We believe it will provide our customers with greater processing power in a smaller footprint with lower power consumption. We also announced the introduction of the high performance RMS420-5000XI embedded server featuring two Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® 5140 processors. This new server will be used in many demanding data and graphics processing applications such as medical image processing and display, military, industrial machine vision, test and measurement, signal processing, and 3D and 4D image display. Finally we announced the Procelerant RMS420, a 4U high performance embedded server with two dual-core processors and the Procelerant CE945GM dual-core COM Express module. Both products are expected to ship in the first quarter of 2007.
 
In the third quarter of 2006 we completed the acquisition of Convedia and entered the media server market with a portfolio of media server products. RadiSys Media Servers enable service innovation and differentiation by providing powerful, reusable and highly scalable multimedia processing platforms for VoIP and IMS telecommunication service providers and enterprise customers. Together with our solution partners,

the Media Server family supports the next generation of feature rich, turnkey, high-margin services that combine the best of the Internet and telecommunications worlds.
 
The Media Server family consolidates the functions of traditional announcement servers, interactive voice response units, audio and video conference bridges, messaging platforms and speech platforms into a single, multi-service, open standards-compliant solution for network and enhanced services media processing. Our Media Servers share identical control interfaces, media processing features and management capabilities. The many features and benefits of our Media Servers allow our customers to increase revenues through delivery of new and innovative services, while reducing capital and ongoing operational costs. Our CMS-1000 and CMS-6000 media servers have been successfully deployed around the world. Our newest media servers, the CMS-3000 and CMS-9000, are optimized for IMS network deployments and are currently in field trials with customers.
 
Total revenue was $292.5 million, $260.2 million and $245.8 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Backlog was approximately $21.7 million, $25.1 million and $22.6 million at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Backlog includes all purchase orders scheduled for delivery within 12 months. The general trend within our addressable markets is for shorter lead times and supplier-managed inventory, which will generally decrease backlog over time as a percentage of revenue. The increase in revenues during 2006 compared to 2005 was due to increases in revenues in the communications networking and commercial systems markets of $23.6 million and $8.6 million, respectively. The increase in revenues during 2005 compared to 2004 was due to an increase in revenues in the communications networking market of $26.7 million offset by a $12.3 million decrease in revenues from the commercial systems market. Revenues in the communications networking market increased from 2004 to 2006 primarily due to strong demand within the wireless submarket as we continue to design and supply more content within our customers’ 2.5 and 3G deployments. For the fourth quarter of 2006 the increase in communication revenues was offset by reductions in requested deliveries from a large wireless customer. We believe these reductions were driven by their efforts to significantly reduce inventory levels. We expect our wireless market revenues to increase in the first quarter of 2007. Revenues in the commercial systems market increased in the 2006 compared to 2005, primarily due to increases in the medical submarket partially offset by declines in our transaction terminal and industrial automation submarkets, which is consistent with our strategies. The increase in revenues from the medical market is attributable to design wins that have ramped into production during 2005 and 2006. The decrease in the transaction terminal revenues was primarily due to design wins nearing the end of their life cycle. Currently, our standards-based products do not make up a significant percentage of our total revenues, however, we believe design wins associated with these products will begin to ramp into production in 2008.
 
From a geographic perspective, from 2004 to 2006 the percentage of non-U.S. revenues by delivery destination increased as a percentage of total revenues. This was primarily due to existing multinational customers requesting the delivery of products directly into the Asia Pacific region and increased revenues attributable to our EMEA region associated with our wireless infrastructure products. For the year ended December 31, 2006 revenues from North America increased by $8.4 million compared to the same periods in 2005. This increase is due to primarily to the addition of media server business revenues and increased Nortel shipments in the fourth quarter of 2006. We expect our non-U.S. revenues to remain a significant portion of our revenues.
 
During the third quarter of 2006, we announced our decision to disengage from one of our contract manufacturers in North America. We are currently transitioning the majority of this production to our Hillsboro facility. This has resulted in a net increase in inventory related to the transition and we expect to see inventory levels start to decline after the first quarter of 2007 and continue to decline throughout the year to more traditional levels.
 
Gross margins as a percentage of revenues were 27.0%, 29.5% and 32.2% for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Approximately half of the decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 was attributable to product mix as more of our revenue is coming from higher volume products with competitive pricing. The decrease is also due to

$1.4 million associated with purchase accounting charges attributed to the acquisition of Convedia including $978 thousand for fair value accounting for inventory and the amortization of the $400 thousand of Convedia backlog identified as an intangible asset, an increase of $1.3 million associated with our excess and obsolete accrual and $691 thousand associated with the write down of raw material inventory that was sold to our contract manufacturing partners during the first quarter of 2006. The decrease is also due to increased adverse purchase commitments associated with the transfer of our production from one of our contract manufacturers to our Hillsboro facility and to our other contract manufacturer. For the year ended December 31, 2006, cost of sales included $876 thousand of stock-based compensation expense which is discussed in Note 18. We also continued to incur redundant manufacturing costs as we moved forward with outsourcing our internal manufacturing to our contract manufacturing partners. The decrease was also associated with additional manufacturing-related costs in 2006 due to making our products RoHS (Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in the Electrical and Electronic Equipment) compliant. We currently expect our gross margin percent to be higher in 2007 due to our current forecasted revenue mix.
 
Net loss was $13.0 million in 2006. Net income was $16.0 million in 2005 and $13.0 million in 2004. Net loss per share was $0.62 for 2006. Net income per share was $0.79 and $0.68, basic and diluted, respectively, in 2005. Net income per share was $0.69 and $0.59, basic and diluted, respectively, in 2004. Net income has decreased from 2005 to 2006, due primarily to the purchase accounting charges due to the acquisition of Convedia including a $14.0 million in-process research and development charge, $5.9 million of intangible amortization and $624 thousand of deferred compensation expenses. See Note 20 — Acquisition of Convedia.
 
From 2004 through 2006, we initiated multiple restructurings of our operations. These restructurings primarily included workforce reductions. These workforce reductions were a result of the increase in outsourced manufacturing and a result of aligning our workforce to deliver more integrated advanced embedded platforms and solutions or standards-based solutions.
 
In 2004, we repurchased $58.8 million principal amount of the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes for $58.2 million. In 2005, we repurchased $7.5 million principal amount of the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes for $7.4 million. In 2006, we repurchased $100 thousand principal amount of the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes for $100 thousand.
 
In 2005, we began granting restricted stock to our employees. As a result, in 2005, we incurred $199 thousand of stock-based compensation expense associated with the vesting of restricted stock. During 2004, we incurred $841 thousand of stock-based compensation expense associated with shares to be issued pursuant to the 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). We incurred stock-based compensation expense because the original number of ESPP shares approved by the shareholders was insufficient to meet employee demand for an ESPP offering which was consummated in February of 2003 and ended in August of 2004. We subsequently received shareholder approval for additional ESPP shares in May 2003.
 
The stock-based compensation expense associated with our equity instruments issued in 2005 and 2004 was calculated using the intrinsic value method. As of January 1, 2006, we are required to account for stock-based compensation based on the fair value method. As a result, in 2006, we incurred $6.6 million of stock-based compensation expense associated with options, restricted stock, and ESPP.
 
Cash and cash equivalents and investments amounted to $136.0 million and $225.9 million at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents and investments was primarily due to $106.1 million in cash provided from operating activities used to purchase Convedia. We believe that cash flows from operations, available cash and investment balances, and short-term borrowings will be sufficient to fund our operating liquidity needs for the short-term and long-term.
 
In the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations, we intend to provide information that will assist in understanding our financial statements, changes in certain key items in those financial statements from year to year, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles, policies and estimates affect our financial statements.

Table of Contents

 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and revenues and expenses. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the financial statements. Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Inventory Reserves
 
We record the inventory valuation allowance for estimated obsolete or unmarketable inventories as the difference between the cost of inventories and the estimated net realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Factors influencing the provision include: changes in demand; rapid technological changes; product life cycle and development plans; component cost trends; product pricing; regulatory requirements affecting components; and physical deterioration. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional provisions for inventory reserves may be required. Our estimate for the allowance is based on the assumption that our customers comply with their current contractual obligations. We provide long-life support to our customers and therefore we have material levels of customer specific inventory. If our customers experience a financial hardship or if we experience unplanned cancellations of customer contracts, the current provision for the inventory reserves may be inadequate. Additionally, we may incur additional expenses associated with any non-cancelable purchase obligations to our suppliers if they provide customer-specific components.
 
Adverse Purchase Commitments
 
We are contractually obligated to reimburse our contract manufacturers for the cost of excess inventory used in the manufacture of our products, for which there is no alternative use. Excess inventory is defined as raw materials or assemblies (“components”) used in the manufacture of our products for which the contract manufacturers’ on-hand and on-order quantities are in excess of the requirements derived from our current product forecast of customer demand. We are liable for excess inventory only to the extent that the contract manufacturer procures components to fulfill the manufacturing requirements as set forth in our current product forecast and agreed upon lead times and minimum order quantities. Unexpected decreases in customer demand or our inability to accurately forecast customer demand could result in increases in our adverse purchase commitment liability and have a material adverse effect on our profitability. Factors influencing the adverse purchase commitments liability include: changes in demand, rapid technological changes, product life cycle and development plans, component cost trends, product pricing, customer liability and physical deterioration. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management we may incur additional expenses due to increases in our adverse purchase commitment liabilities. Our estimate for the adverse purchase commitments liabilities is based on the assumption that our customers comply with their current contractual obligations to us. If our customers experience a financial hardship or if we experience unplanned cancellations of customer contracts, the current adverse purchase commitments liabilities may be inadequate
 
Estimates for adverse purchase commitments are derived from reports received on a quarterly basis from our contract manufacturers. Increases to this liability are charged to cost of goods sold. When and if we take

possession of inventory reserved for in this liability, the liability is transferred from other liabilities to our excess and obsolete inventory valuation allowance. This liability, referred to as adverse purchase commitments, is provided for in other accrued liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets. Adverse purchase commitments amounted to $1.9 million and $828 thousand at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
 
Accrued Warranty
 
We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. Our standard product warranty terms generally include post-sales support and repairs or replacement of a product at no additional charge for a specified period of time, which is generally 24 months after shipment. The workmanship of our products produced by contract manufacturers is covered under warranties provided by the contract manufacturer for a specified period of time ranging from 12 to 15 months. We engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component suppliers. Our estimated warranty obligation is based upon ongoing product failure rates, internal repair costs, contract manufacturing repair charges for repairs not covered by the contract manufacturer’s warranty, average cost per call and current period product shipments. If actual product failure rates, repair rates, service delivery costs, or post-sales support costs differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. Additionally, we accrue warranty costs for specific customer product repairs that are in excess of our warranty obligation calculation described above.
 
Long-Lived Assets
 
Our long-lived assets include indefinite-lived intangible assets or goodwill, definite-lived intangible assets and property and equipment. The net balance of goodwill, definite-lived intangible assets and property and equipment at December 31, 2006 amounted to $67.2 million, $42.9 million and $11.1 million, respectively.
 
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the assigned value of the net assets in connection with prior acquisitions. Goodwill will be written down or written off when impaired. Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances (“conditions”) indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable.
 
We completed our annual goodwill impairment analysis as of September 30, 2006 and concluded that as of September 30, 2006, there was no goodwill impairment. Our annual goodwill impairment analysis consists of comparing our book value to our market capitalization. If the trading price or the average trading price of our common stock is below the book value per share for a sustained period, a goodwill impairment test will be performed. Our book value per share was $10.41 at September 30, 2006 compared to the closing price of RadiSys shares as quoted on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the trading price on September 30, 2006 of $21.25. Management concluded there was no indication of material changes requiring an updated goodwill impairment analysis as of December 31, 2006.
 
Intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, primarily consist of acquired patents, completed technology, technology licenses, trade names and customer lists. Intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from 1 to 10 years. Property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, primarily consists of office equipment and software, manufacturing equipment, leasehold improvements, a building and other physical assets owned by RadiSys. Property and equipment are being depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from 1 to 40 years. We assess impairment of intangible assets and property and equipment whenever conditions indicate that the carrying values of the assets may not be recoverable.
 
Conditions that would trigger a long-lived asset impairment assessment include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of an asset or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. If we determine that a long-lived asset impairment assessment is required, we must determine the fair value of the asset, which is determined based on the associated net present value of estimated future cash flows. We would estimate future cash flows using assumptions about our expected future operating performance. Our estimates of future cash flows may differ from actual cash flow due to, among other things, technological changes, economic conditions or changes to our business

Table of Contents

operations. Impairments would be recognized in operating results to the extent that the carrying value exceeds this calculated fair value of the long-lived assets.
 
Considerable management judgment is required in determining if and when a condition would trigger an impairment assessment of our long-lived assets and once such a determination has been made, considerable management judgment is required to determine the fair market value of the long-lived asset. If the trading price or the average trading price of our common stock is below the book value per share for a sustained period or if and when a condition has triggered an impairment analysis of our long-lived assets, we may incur substantial impairment losses due to the write-down or the write-off of our long-lived assets.
 
Income Taxes
 
We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of the assets and liabilities. We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to “more likely than not” be realized in its future tax returns. Should we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, adjustments to the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets may be required. The net deferred tax assets amounted to $30.3 million as of December 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2006 we estimate utilization of the net deferred tax assets will require that we generate approximately $60.0 million and $30.0 million in taxable income in the U.S. and Canada, respectively, prior to the expiration of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards which will occur between 2006 (as we have not yet filed our 2006 return) and 2023. We have considered future market growth, forecasted earnings, future taxable income, the mix of earnings in the jurisdictions in which we operate and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in determining the need for a valuation allowance. In the event we were to determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, we would increase the valuation allowance and make a corresponding charge to earnings in the period in which we make such determination. Likewise, if we later determine that we are more likely than not to realize the net deferred tax assets, we would reverse the applicable portion of the previously provided valuation allowance.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
We have a relatively small set of multinational customers that typically make up the majority of our accounts receivable balance. Our allowance for doubtful accounts is determined using a combination of factors to ensure that our trade receivables balances are not overstated. We record reserves for individual accounts when we become aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to us, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position. If circumstances related to customers change, our estimates of the recoverability of receivables would be further adjusted. At December 31, 2006, 50.3% of our accounts receivable was due from our four largest customers. If one of these large customers or a number of our smaller customers files for bankruptcy or otherwise is unable to pay the amounts due to us the current allowance for doubtful accounts may not be adequate. During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 there were no significant account balances reserved for and the allowance for doubtful accounts decreased by $18 thousand as a result of the write-off of previously specifically identified account balances.
 
We maintain a non-specific bad debt reserve for all customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time receivables are past due, trends in overall weighted average risk rating of the total portfolio, macroeconomic conditions, significant one-time events and historical experience. Typically, this non-specific bad debt reserve amounts to approximately 1% of quarterly revenues.
 
Accrued Restructuring and Other Charges
 
For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 expenses associated with exit or disposal activities are recognized when probable and estimable. Because we have a history of paying severance

benefits, the cost of severance benefits associated with a restructuring charge is recorded when such costs are probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
 
For leased facilities that were vacated and subleased, an amount equal to the total future lease obligations from the date of vacating the premises through the expiration of the lease, net of any future sublease income, was recorded as a part of restructuring charges.
 
We have engaged, and may continue to engage, in restructuring actions, which require us to make significant estimates in several areas including: realizable values of assets made redundant or obsolete; expenses for severance and other employee separation costs; the ability to generate sublease income, as well as our ability to terminate lease obligations at the amounts we have estimated; and other exit costs. Should the actual amounts differ from our estimates, the amount of the restructuring charges could be materially impacted. For a description of our restructuring actions, refer to our discussion of restructuring charges in the Results of Operations section.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
We recognize revenue when the earnings process is complete, as evidenced by the following revenue recognition criteria: an agreement with the customer; fixed pricing; transfer of title and risk of loss and customer acceptance, if applicable; and that the collectibility of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. When a sales arrangement contains multiple elements, such as hardware and software products, licenses and/or services, we allocate revenue to each element based on its relative fair value, or for software, based on vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value. In the absence of fair value for a delivered element, we first allocate revenue to the fair value of the undelivered elements and the residual revenue to the delivered elements. Where the fair value for an undelivered element cannot be determined, we defer revenue for the delivered elements until the undelivered elements are delivered. We limit the amount of revenue recognition for delivered elements to the amount that is not contingent on the future delivery of products or services or subject to customer-specified return or refund privileges. We enter into contracts to sell our products and services, and, while the majority of our sales agreements contain standard terms and conditions under which we recognize revenue upon shipment of product, infrequently we enter into agreements that contain non-standard terms and conditions. Non-standard terms and conditions can include, but are not limited to, customer acceptance criteria or other post-delivery obligations. As a result, significant contract interpretation is sometimes required to determine the appropriate timing of revenue recognition. The components of total revenues were as follows (in thousands):

Under our standard terms and conditions of sale, we transfer title and risk of loss to the customer at the time product is shipped to the customer and revenue is recognized accordingly, unless customer acceptance is uncertain or significant obligations remain. We reduce revenue for estimated customer returns for rotation rights according to agreements with our distributors. The amount of revenues derived from these distributors as a percentage of total revenues was 3.4% for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 1.5% for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Software Royalties and Licenses
 
Revenue from customers for prepaid, non-refundable software royalties is recorded when the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Revenue for non-prepaid royalties is recognized at the time the underlying product is shipped by the customer paying the royalty. We recognize software license revenue at the time of shipment or upon delivery of the software master provided when the revenue recognition criteria have been met and vendor-specific objective evidence exists to allocate the total fee to all delivered and undelivered elements of the arrangement.
 
Software maintenance
 
Software maintenance services are recognized as earned on the straight-line basis over the terms of the contracts.
 
Engineering and other services
 
Engineering services revenue is recognized upon completion of certain contractual milestones and customer acceptance of the services rendered. Other services revenues include hardware repair services and custom software implementation projects. Hardware repair services revenues are recognized when the services are complete. Software implementation revenues are recognized upon completion of certain contractual milestones and customer acceptance of the services rendered.
 
Stock-based Compensation
 
Equity instruments are granted to employees, directors and consultants in certain instances, as defined in the respective plan agreements. In 2006, we issued equity instruments in the form of stock options, restricted stock, and stock issued to employees as a result of the ESPP. In 2005, we issued equity instruments in the form of stock options, restricted shares and stock issued to employees as a result of ESPP. In 2004 we issued equity instruments in the form of stock options and stock issued to employees as a result of the ESPP, only.
 
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, using the modified prospective transition method, and therefore have not restated prior periods’ results. Under this method we recognize compensation expense for all stock-based employee benefit plan equity awards granted after January 1, 2006 and prior to but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, in accordance with SFAS 123R. Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, we recognize stock-based compensation on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award for those shares expected to vest as described below. Prior to SFAS 123R adoption, we accounted for share-based payments under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”).
 
We continue to use the Black-Scholes model to measure the grant date fair value of stock options and ESPP shares. The grant date fair value of stock options that are expected to vest is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is equal to the option vesting period which is generally 3 years. The grant date fair value of ESPP shares that are expected to vest is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally 18 months, subject to modification at the date of purchase due to the ESPP look-back feature. The grant date fair value of restricted stock is equal to the closing price of RadiSys shares as quoted on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date of grant. The grant date fair value of restricted stock that are expected to vest is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is 3 years. The estimate of the number of options, ESPP shares and restricted stock expected to vest is determined based on historical experience.
 
To determine the fair value of the stock options and ESPP shares, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the calculation takes into consideration the effect of the following:
 
  •  exercise price of the option or purchase price of the ESPP share;
 
  •  price of our common stock on the date of grant;
 
  •  expected term of the option or share;


29


Table of Contents

 
  •  expected volatility of our common stock over the expected term of the option or share; and
 
  •  risk free interest rate during the expected term of the option or share.
 
The calculation includes several assumptions that require management’s judgment. The expected term of the option or share is determined based on assumptions about patterns of employee exercises and represents a probability-weighted average time-period from grant until exercise of stock options, subject to information available at time of grant. Determining expected volatility generally begins with calculating historical volatility for a similar long-term period and then considers the ways in which the future is reasonably expected to differ from the past.
 
As part of our SFAS 123R adoption, we also examined our historical pattern of option exercises in an effort to determine if there were any discernable activity patterns based on certain employee populations. From this analysis, we identified three employee populations. The expected term computation is based on historical vested option exercises and post-vest forfeiture patterns and includes an estimate of the expected term for options that were fully vested and outstanding at December 31, 2006 for each of the three populations identified. The estimate of the expected term for options that were fully vested and outstanding at December 31, 2006 was determined as the midpoint of a range of estimated expected terms determined as follows: the low end of the range assumes the fully vested and outstanding options settle on December 31, 2006 and the high end of the range assumes that these options expire upon contractual term. The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturities in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option or share.
 
Determining the appropriate fair value model and, as noted above, calculating the fair value of equity instruments associated with our employee benefit plans require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of these equity instruments represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, we are required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. If our actual forfeiture rate is materially different from our estimate the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what we have recorded in the current period. See Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion on stock-based compensation.
 
As a result of adopting SFAS 123R, loss before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $6.6 million higher and net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $6.2 million higher than if we had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB 25. The impact on both basic and diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $0.29.

Comparison of Year 2006 and Year 2005
 
Revenues.  Revenues increased by $32.2 million, or 12.4%, from $260.2 million in 2005 to $292.5 million in 2006. The increase in revenue during 2006 compared to 2005 was due to increases in revenues in the communications networking and commercial systems markets of $23.6 million and $8.6 million, respectively.
 
Revenues in the communications networking market increased in 2006 compared to 2005 due to strong demand within the wireless market as our product content continues to expand with 2.5 and 3G deployments. Revenues were also higher due to deployments of new products by one of our major customers as well as the addition of media server business revenues. For the fourth quarter of 2006 the increase in communication revenues was offset by reductions in requested deliveries from a large wireless customer. We believe these reductions were driven by their efforts to significantly reduce inventory levels. We expect our wireless market revenues to increase in the first quarter of 2007 as this customer returns to more traditional volumes.
 
Revenues in the commercial systems market increased in the 2006 compared to 2005, primarily due to increases within the medical submarket partially offset by declines in our transaction terminal and industrial automation submarkets. The increase in revenues from the medical market was attributable to design wins that have ramped into production during 2005 and 2006. The decrease in revenues attributable to the transaction terminal market was primarily due to design wins nearing the end of their life cycle.
 
Given the dynamics of these markets, we may experience general fluctuations in the percentage of revenue attributable to each market and, as a result, the quarter to quarter and year to year comparisons of our markets often are not indicative of overall economic trends affecting the long-term performance of our markets. We currently expect that each of our markets will continue to represent a significant portion of total revenues. We currently expect 2007 revenue to grow modestly over 2006. Currently, our standards-based products do not make up a significant percentage of our total revenues, however, we believe design wins

associated with these products will begin to ramp into production in 2008 based on the timing of our customers’ next generation system deployments.
 
From a geographic perspective, for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 the percentage of non-US revenues by delivery destination increased as a percentage of total revenues. Revenues as measured by destination in the EMEA region increased by $9.3 million while Asia Pacific revenues increased by $14.5 million. This was primarily due to existing multinational customers requesting the delivery of products directly into the Asia Pacific region and increased revenues attributable to our EMEA region associated with our wireless infrastructure products. For the year ended December 31, 2006 revenues from North America increased by $8.4 million compared to the same periods in 2005. This increase is due to primarily to the addition of media server business revenues and increased Nortel shipments in the fourth quarter of 2006. We currently expect continued fluctuations in the percentage of revenue from each geographic region. Additionally, we expect non-U.S. revenues to remain a significant portion of our revenues.
 
Gross Margin.  Gross margin as a percentage of revenues for 2006 was 27.0% compared to 29.5% for 2005. Approximately half of the decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 was attributable to product mix, as more of our current revenue is coming from higher volume products with competitive pricing. The decrease is also due to $1.4 million associated with purchase accounting charges attributed to the acquisition of Convedia, including $978 thousand for fair valuing accounting of inventory and the amortization of the $400 thousand of Convedia backlog identified as an intangible asset, an increase of $1.3 million associated with our excess and obsolete accrual and $691 thousand associated with the write down of raw material inventory that was sold to our contract manufacturing partners during the first quarter of 2006. The decrease is also due to increased adverse purchase commitments associated with the transfer of our production from one of our contract manufacturers to our Hillsboro facility and to our other contract manufacturer. For the year ended December 31, 2006, cost of sales included $876 thousand of stock-based compensation expense which is discussed in Note 18. We also continued to incur redundant manufacturing costs as we moved forward with outsourcing our internal manufacturing to our contract manufacturing partners. The decrease was also associated with additional manufacturing-related costs in 2006 due to making our products RoHS compliant. We currently expect our gross margin percent to be higher in 2007 due to our current forecasted revenue mix.
 
Research and Development.  R&D expenses consist primarily of salary, bonuses and benefits for product development staff, and cost of design and development supplies and equipment, net of reimbursements for non-recurring engineering services. R&D expenses increased $11.7 million, or 39.3%, from $29.8 million in 2005 to $41.5 million in 2006.
 
The increase for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 is primarily associated with higher engineering headcount and increased external project expenses related to our continued investment in the development of standards-based products, such as ATCA, COM Express and Media Servers. The increase was also due to $2.1 million associated with our media server business as well as $1.7 million of stock-based compensation expense which is discussed in “Stock-based Compensation Expense” below. We currently anticipate increases in R&D associated with media server business expenses.
 
Selling, General, and Administrative.  Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consist primarily of salary, commissions, bonuses and benefits for sales, marketing, executive, and administrative personnel, as well as professional services and costs of other general corporate activities. SG&A expenses increased $9.2 million, or 30.7%, from $30.1 million in 2005 to $39.3 million in 2006.
 
The increase for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 is primarily associated with higher sales and marketing headcount as we invest in the infrastructure to sell our standards-based products. The increase is also due to $2.7 million associated with our media server business as well as $4.0 million of stock-based compensation expense which is discussed in “Stock-based Compensation Expense” below. We currently anticipate increases in SG&A associated with media server business expenses.
 
Stock-based Compensation Expense.  Stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 consists of amortization of stock-based compensation associated with stock options and ESPP shares

unvested and outstanding on January 1, 2006, new stock options and ESPP shares granted for the year ended December 31, 2006 and unvested restricted stock. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company incurred $6.6 million in stock-based compensation. During the year ended December 31, 2005, we incurred $199 thousand in stock-based compensation expense. We anticipate that stock-based compensation will increase by $3.4 million to approximately $10 million in 2007 due primarily due to the 2004 acceleration of employee stock options with an option price greater than $15.99. As a result of the acceleration, we reduced the amount of stock based compensation expense recognized in 2006; however, in 2007 stock based compensation expense will increase as the benefit from the 2004 acceleration will have been fully utilized as we recognize three years of stock grants as opposed to the two years we recognized in 2006. The increase is also due to the acquisition of Convedia.
 
We recognized stock-based compensation expense as follows (in thousands):

Deferred Compensation Expense.  On September 1, 2006 all outstanding Convedia stock options vested and were considered exercised immediately. The proceeds of which were distributed as follows: 75% of the purchase price per share less the exercise price was paid to the option holder at closing and the remaining 25% will be paid in full to those Convedia employees still employed by RadiSys after one year of service. The 75% paid at the time of the acquisition is included in the purchase price and is allocated to goodwill. The remaining 25% is recorded as deferred compensation and amortized through the Statement of Operations for the life of the asset (one year). Pursuant to the purchase agreement any forfeitures are reallocated to the remaining Convedia employees. For the four months ended December 31, 2006 we recognized $624 thousand in deferred compensation expense.

Intangible Assets Amortization.  Intangible assets consist of purchased technology, patents and other identifiable intangible assets. Intangible assets amortization expense was $6.2 million and $2.1 million in 2006 and 2005, respectively. Intangible assets amortization increased primarily due to intangible assets acquired with the purchase of Convedia partially offset by certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized during 2005 and early 2006. We perform reviews for impairment of the purchased intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
 
Restructuring and Other Charges.  We evaluate the adequacy of the accrued restructuring and other charges on a quarterly basis. As a result, we record certain reclassifications and reversals to the accrued restructuring and other charges based on the results of the evaluation. The total accrued restructuring and other charges for each restructuring event are not affected by reclassifications. Reversals are recorded in the period in which we determine that expected restructuring and other obligations are less than the amounts accrued. Tables summarizing the activity in the accrued liability for each restructuring event are contained in Note 10 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. During 2006 and 2005, we recorded restructuring and other charges and reversals as described below.


33


Table of Contents

 
Fourth Quarter 2006 Restructuring
 
During the fourth quarter of 2006, we initiated a restructuring plan that included the elimination of 12 positions primarily supporting our contract manufacturing operations as a result of the termination of our relationship with one of our contract manufacturers in North America. The restructuring plan also includes closing our Charlotte office. In 2006, we incurred severance and other employee-related separation costs of $329 thousand as a result of this restructuring event. We expect this workforce reduction and office closure to be completed by September 30, 2007.
 
Second Quarter 2005 Restructuring
 
In June 2005, we initiated a restructuring plan that included the elimination of 93 positions primarily within our manufacturing operations as a result of the continued outsourcing of production to our manufacturing partners. In 2006, we incurred severance and other employee-related separation costs of $589 thousand as well as $307 thousand of restructuring reversals. During the second quarter of 2006, we announced that we were discontinuing our relationship with one of our contract manufacturers in North America. As a result, we determined that all future employment terminations that were originally included in the second quarter 2005 restructuring event would not occur in the near term and the associated liability was reversed.
 
Fourth Quarter 2001 Restructuring
 
The accrual amount remaining as of December 31, 2005 represents lease obligations relating to the facilities in Boca Raton, Florida which were paid in January 2006.
 
Loss on the Repurchase of Convertible Notes.  In 2006, we repurchased $100 thousand principal amount of the outstanding 5.5% convertible subordinated notes due August 15, 2007 for $100 thousand and, as a result, recorded a loss of $1 thousand.
 
In 2005, we repurchased $7.5 million principal amount of the outstanding 5.5% convertible subordinated notes, with an associated discount of $69 thousand. We repurchased the notes in the open market for $7.4 million and, as a result, recorded a loss of $50 thousand.
 
Interest Expense.  Interest expense includes interest expense incurred on the 1.375% convertible senior and the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes. Interest expense decreased $321 thousand, or 15.6%, from $2.1 million in 2005 to $1.7 million in 2006. The decrease in the interest expense for 2006 compared to 2005 is due to the decrease in interest expense associated with the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes primarily resulting from the repurchases of the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes in the fourth quarter of 2005.
 
Interest Income.  Interest income increased $3.0 million, or 47.5%, from $6.3 million in 2005 to $9.3 million in 2006. Interest income increased as a result of a higher average balance of cash, cash equivalents and investments in 2006 compared to 2005. Increasing interest rates and a shift in our investment portfolio towards higher yielding auction rate securities has also contributed to the increase in interest income. However we expect interest income to decrease due to our decreased cash and cash equivalents and investments balance associated with the purchase of Convedia.
 
Other Income (Expense), net.  Other expense, net, primarily includes foreign currency exchange gains and losses. Other income (expense), net, was $851 thousand in 2006 compared to $(879) thousand in 2005. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations resulted in a net gain of $96 thousand in 2006 compared to a net loss of $803 thousand in 2005. The change in the foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations is relatively flat for the year due to small changes in the Japanese Yen, Euro and GBP relative the U.S. Dollar.
 
Income Tax Provision.  We recorded a tax benefit of $746 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to a tax provision of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Our effective tax rate for the year ended 2006 was (5.4%) compared to 6.9% for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company’s current effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of stock option expense, in-process R&D related to the Convedia acquisition, research and development tax credits generated in 2006 and taxes on foreign income that differ from U.S. tax rate.

On December 20, 2006 President Bush signed the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 (the “Tax Relief Act”) which extended the research and development tax credit. Under the Tax Relief Act the research and development tax credit was retroactively reinstated to January 1, 2006 and is available through December 31, 2007. We have recorded a federal research and development credit of approximately $550 thousand for the year ended 2006.
 
At December 31, 2006, we had net deferred tax assets of $30.3 million. Valuation allowances of $7.0 million and $6.8 million, as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, have been provided for deferred income tax assets related primarily to net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards that may not be realized. The increase in valuation allowance of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005 is primarily attributable to a projected decrease in future utilization of general business tax credits carryforwards. Over the last three years we have generated cumulative book income. As of December 31, 2006 we estimate utilization of the net deferred tax assets will require that we generate $60.0 million and $30.0 million in taxable income in the U.S. and Canada, respectively, prior to the expiration of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards which will occur between 2006 and 2023. We cannot provide absolute assurance that we will generate sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the net deferred tax assets, and accordingly, we may record a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets if our expectations of future taxable income change or are not achieved. We have considered future market growth, forecasted earnings, future taxable income, the mix of earnings in the jurisdictions in which we operate and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in determining the need for a valuation allowance. In the event we were to determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, we would increase the valuation allowance and make a corresponding charge to earnings in the period in which we make such determination. Likewise, if we later determine that we are more likely than not to realize the net deferred tax assets, we would reverse the applicable portion of the previously provided valuation allowance. Finally, any tax benefit subsequently recognized from the acquired net operating loss and research and development tax credit associated with our Microware acquisition, completed in 2001, would be allocated to goodwill and will not benefit the income statement.
 
The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and nine foreign countries, and on occasion, we have been subject to corporate income tax audits. In determining the value of income tax liabilities we make estimates of the results of future examinations of our income tax returns by taxing authorities. We believe that we have adequately provided our financial statements for additional taxes that we estimate may result from these examinations. If these amounts provided prove to be more than what is necessary, the reversal of the reserves would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period in which we determine the liability is no longer necessary. If an ultimate tax assessment exceeds our estimate of tax liabilities, an additional charge to expense will result.
 
Comparison of Year 2005 and Year 2004
 
Revenues.  Revenues increased by $14.4 million, or 5.9%, from $245.8 million in 2004 to $260.2 million in 2005. The increase in revenue during 2005 compared to 2004 was due to an increase in revenues in the communications networking market of $26.7 million offset by a $12.3 million decrease in revenues from the commercial systems market.
 
Revenues in the communications networking market increased in 2005 compared to 2004 due to strong demand within the wireless market as our product content continues to expand with 2.5 and 3G deployments. Revenues were also higher due to deployments of new products by one of our major customers.
 
Revenues in the commercial systems market decreased in the 2005 compared to 2004, primarily due to declines in our transaction terminal and industrial automation business, partially offset by increases within our medical and test and measurement market. The decrease in revenues attributable to the transaction terminal market was primarily due to design wins nearing the end of their life cycle. The increase in revenues from the medical market was attributable to design wins that ramped into production during 2005.
 
Given the dynamics of these markets, we may experience general fluctuations in the percentage of revenue attributable to each market and, as a result, the quarter to quarter and year to year comparisons of our

Table of Contents

markets often are not indicative of overall economic trends affecting the long-term performance of our markets. We currently expect that each of our markets will continue to represent a significant portion of total revenues.
 
From a geographic perspective, for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 the overall increase in revenues was split between customers located in the EMEA and Asia Pacific regions. For the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 revenues as measured by destination in the EMEA region increased by $8.2 million while Asia Pacific revenues increased by $21.1 million. This increase related to the Asia Pacific region due to shipments of products to existing multinational customers receiving products directly into the Asia Pacific region. For the year ended December 31, 2005 revenues from North America declined by $14.9 million compared to the same period in 2004. The decline in this region was a result of declines in our transaction terminal and industrial automation business as well as a shift of sales for our multinational customers requesting delivery of products directly into the Asia Pacific region. We currently expect continued fluctuations in the percentage of revenue from each geographic region. Additionally, we expect non-U.S. revenues to remain a significant portion of our revenues.
 
Gross Margin.  Gross margin as a percentage of revenues for 2005 was 29.5% compared to 32.2% for 2004. Approximately half of the decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 was attributable to product mix as more of our revenue came from higher volume products with volume-based pricing. The remainder of the decrease was associated with our write-down of inventory valuation for excess and obsolete E&O inventory, an increase in the adverse purchase commitment liabilities associated with our outsourced manufacturing operations and higher silicon prices due to industry shortages. We also continued to incur some redundant manufacturing costs as we moved forward with outsourcing our internal manufacturing to our partners. Finally, we incurred additional manufacturing-related costs in 2005 due to making our products RoHS compliant and incurring additional warranty-related costs.
 
Research and Development.  R&D expenses consist primarily of salary, bonuses and benefits for product development staff, and cost of design and development supplies and equipment, net of reimbursements for non-recurring engineering services. R&D expenses increased $1.6 million, or 5.6%, from $28.2 million in 2004 to $29.8 million in 2005.
 
Our investment in the development of standards-based products, such as ATCA, increased our R&D expense for 2005 compared 2004. During 2005, we also continued to increase headcount at our Shanghai development center and added other expenses in connection with the development of the infrastructure to support this location. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in variable compensation linked to profitability.
 
Selling, General, and Administrative.  SG&A expenses consist primarily of salary, commissions, bonuses and benefits for sales, marketing, executive, and administrative personnel, as well as professional services and costs of other general corporate activities. SG&A expenses decreased $364 thousand, or 1.2%, from $30.4 million in 2004 to $30.1 million in 2005. The decrease in SG&A expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 was primarily associated with $619 thousand in non-recurring costs that were recognized in the 2004 associated with a potential acquisition that was ultimately abandoned. Without these costs we would have seen an increase in SG&A expense of $255 thousand in 2005 primarily due to annual merit increases in salaries.
 
Stock-based Compensation Expense.  In 2005, 97 thousand shares of restricted stock were granted. We incurred $199 thousand of stock-based compensation related to restricted stock for the year ended December 31, 2005. We did not incur any stock-based compensation expense associated with restricted stock for the year ended December 31, 2004.
 
In 2004, we incurred $841 thousand of stock-based compensation expense associated with shares issued pursuant to the ESPP. We incurred stock-based compensation expense because the original number of ESPP shares approved by the shareholders was insufficient to meet employee demand for an ESPP offering which was consummated in February 2003 and ended in August 2004. We subsequently received shareholder

Table of Contents

approval for additional ESPP shares in May 2003. The shares issued in the February 2003 ESPP offering in excess of the original number of ESPP shares approved at the beginning of the offering (the “shortfall”) triggered recognition of stock- based compensation expense under the intrinsic value method. The shortfall amounted to 138 thousand and 149 thousand shares in May 2004 and August 2004, respectively.
 
The expense per share was calculated as the difference between 85% of the closing price of RadiSys shares as quoted on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date that additional ESPP shares were approved (May 2003) and the February 2003 ESPP offering purchase price. Accordingly, the expense per share was calculated as the difference between $8.42 and $5.48. The shortfall of shares was dependent on the amount of contributions from participants enrolled in the February 2003 ESPP offering

Intangible Assets Amortization.  Intangible assets consist of purchased technology, patents and other identifiable intangible assets. Intangible assets amortization expense was $2.1 million and $2.2 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Intangible assets amortization decreased due to certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized during the first and second quarters of 2004. We perform reviews for impairment of the purchased intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
 
Restructuring and Other Charges.  We evaluate the adequacy of the accrued restructuring and other charges on a quarterly basis. As a result, we record certain reclassifications and reversals to the accrued restructuring and other charges based on the results of the evaluation. The total accrued restructuring and other charges for each restructuring event are not affected by reclassifications. Reversals are recorded in the period in which we determine that expected restructuring and other obligations are less than the amounts accrued. Tables summarizing the activity in the accrued liability for each restructuring event are contained in Note 10 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. During 2005 and 2004, we recorded restructuring and other charges and reversals as described below.
 
Second Quarter 2005 Restructuring
 
In June 2005, we initiated a restructuring plan that included the elimination of 93 positions primarily within our manufacturing operations as a result of the continued outsourcing of production to our manufacturing partners. In 2005, we incurred severance and other employee-related separation costs of approximately $1.3 million as a result of this restructuring event. We expect the workforce reduction to be substantially completed by June 30, 2006.
 
Other
 
During 2005, we came to agreement in principle with the landlord of the Birmingham, UK office to pay 5 months rent or $33 thousand as compensation for the termination of the lease agreement
 
Reversals
 
In 2005, we recorded restructuring-related reversals amounting to $379 thousand. The reversals were primarily associated with employees who left RadiSys prior to receiving a severance payment and employees


37


Table of Contents

who were retained to fill new positions at RadiSys. In 2004, we recorded reversals amounting to $1.1 million relating primarily to a buy-out of the remaining lease obligations on the Houston facility vacated as a result of previous restructuring events and various amounts originally accrued for certain non-cancelable leases for facilities vacated as a result of previous restructuring events. We entered into subleasing arrangements for a portion of these facilities and as a result we reduced the restructuring accruals.
 
Loss on the Repurchase of Convertible Notes.  In 2005, we repurchased $7.5 million principal amount of the outstanding 5.5% convertible subordinated notes, with an associated discount of $69 thousand. We repurchased the notes in the open market for $7.4 million and, as a result, recorded a loss of $50 thousand.
 
In 2004, we repurchased $58.8 million principal amount of the outstanding 5.5% convertible subordinated notes, with an associated discount of $897 thousand. We repurchased the notes in the open market for $58.2 million and, as a result, recorded a loss of $387 thousand.
 
Interest Expense.  Interest expense includes interest expense incurred on the 1.375% convertible senior and the 5.5% subordinated notes. Interest expense decreased $1.5 million, or 42.4%, from $3.6 million in 2004 to $2.1 million in 2005. The decrease in the interest expense for 2005 compared to 2004 was due to the decrease in interest expense associated with the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes primarily resulting from the repurchases of the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes in the fourth quarter of 2005 and the mid-year 2004 repurchases.
 
Interest Income.  Interest income increased $2.9 million, or 85.5%, from $3.4 million in 2004 to $6.3 million in 2005. Interest income increased as a result of a higher average balance of cash, cash equivalents and investments in 2005 compared to 2004. Increasing interest rates and a shift in our investment portfolio towards higher yielding auction rate securities has also contributed to the increase in interest income.
 
Other Expense, net.  Other expense, net, primarily includes foreign currency exchange gains and losses. Other expense, net, was $879 thousand in 2005 compared to $472 thousand in 2004. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations resulted in a net loss of $803 thousand in 2005 compared to a net loss of $317 thousand in 2004. The net exchange rate loss incurred for the year ended December 31, 2005 was primarily caused by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Japanese Yen throughout 2005.
 
Income Tax Provision.  We recorded a tax provision of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Our effective tax rate for the year ended 2005 was 6.9% compared to 20.0% for the year ended December 31, 2004. The decrease in the tax provision as well as the effective tax rate in 2005 versus 2004 was primarily due to a projected increase in future utilization of deferred tax assets causing the reversal of a portion of the related valuation allowance and taxes on foreign income that differs from U.S. tax rate.
 
On October 22, 2004, the President of the United States of America signed the American Jobs Creation Act (the “Jobs Act”). One of the key provisions of the Jobs Act includes a repeal of the extraterritorial income exclusion. In its place, the Jobs Act provides a relief provision for domestic manufacturers by providing a new domestic manufacturing deduction. The Jobs Act also includes a temporary incentive for U.S. multinationals to repatriate foreign earnings and other international tax reforms designed to improve the global competitiveness of U.S. multinationals. In 2005 we completed our evaluation of the impact of the Jobs Act and have concluded not to repatriate any foreign earnings pursuant to the provisions of the Jobs Act and have determined that due to the reduction of our domestic manufacturing operations, the impact of domestic manufacturing deduction was minimal.
 
On October 4, 2004 the Working Families Tax Relief Act of 2004 was enacted to extend several tax credits, including the research and development tax credit. Under the new law the research and development tax credit was retroactively reinstated to June 30, 2004 and is available through December 31, 2005. We have recorded a federal research and development credit of approximately $362 thousand for the year ended 2005.
 
At December 31, 2005, we had net deferred tax assets of $29.0 million. Valuation allowances of $6.8 million and $15.9 million, as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, have been provided for deferred income tax assets related primarily to net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards that may not be

realized. The decrease in valuation allowance of $9.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the year ended December 31, 2004 was primarily attributable to a projected increase in future utilization of general business tax credits and certain net operating loss carryforwards. Over the last three years we have generated significant cumulative book income. As of December 31, 2005 we estimated utilization of the net deferred tax assets would require that we generate $67.2 million in taxable income prior to the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards which will occur between 2006 and 2023. We cannot provide absolute assurance that we will generate sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the net deferred tax assets, and accordingly, we may record a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets if our expectations of future taxable income change or are not achieved. If we were to record a valuation allowance, the allowance could include the entire balance of net deferred tax assets as any significant departures from expected future taxable income could suggest uncertainty in our business and therefore we may determine that there is no reasonable basis to calculate a partial valuation allowance. Any tax benefit subsequently recognized from the acquired net operating loss and research and development tax credit associated with our Microware acquisition, completed in 2001, would be allocated to goodwill and will not benefit the income statement.
 
The Joint Committee of Taxation has issued a tax clearance letter to RadiSys on December 1, 2005 concurring with the IRS audit results for the tax years 1996 through 2002.

On September 1, 2006 we completed the acquisition of Convedia, paying net cash of $106.1 million.
 
During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we used $5.2 million and $5.5 million, respectively, for capital expenditures During the year ended December 31, 2006 capital expenditures were primarily associated with our increased investment in our R&D and marketing efforts as we continue to develop and begin to sell standards-based solutions. During the year ended December 31, 2005, capital expenditures included our continued investment in equipment to support the Company’s China-based manufacturing partner as well as leasehold improvements, office equipment and software to support our continued growth and productivity.
 
During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we received $12.7 million and $8.7 million, respectively, in proceeds from the issuance of common stock through the Company’s stock compensation plans.
 
During the third quarter of 2006, we announced our decision to disengage from one of our contract manufacturers in North America. We are currently transitioning the majority of this production to our Hillsboro facility . This has resulted in a net increase in inventory related to this transition and we expect to see inventory levels start to decline after the first quarter of 2007 and continue to decline throughout the year to more traditional levels. Also, due to the inherent risks associated with this transfer of production we may incur additional expenses related to adverse purchase commitments or excess and obsolete inventory. We may incur additional and unanticipated expenses or delays which may have a material adverse effect on our business or our financial performance. Our manufacturing strategy is to outsource our higher volume products.
 
In conjunction with the above announcement we used approximately $17.6 million net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2006 to purchase raw materials and work-in-process inventory to transfer to our Hillsboro facility as well as to our other contract manufacturer. We also purchased component material from this contract manufacturer in anticipation of transitioning out of their facilities.
 
Changes in foreign currency rates impacted beginning cash balances during 2006 by $430 thousand. Due to the Company’s international operations where transactions are recorded in functional currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on existing cash balances during any given periods results in amounts on the consolidated statements of cash flows that may not reflect the changes in the corresponding accounts on the consolidated balance sheets.
 
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005 working capital was $161.6 million and $249.2 million, respectively. Working capital decreased by $87.6 million due primarily to the purchase of Convedia during the quarter offset by net positive cash flow from operating and financing activities generated during 2006.
 
Management believes that cash flows from operations, available cash balances and short-term borrowings will be sufficient to fund our operating liquidity needs for the short-term and long-term future.

We invest excess cash in debt instruments of the U.S. Government and its agencies, and those of high-quality corporate issuers. As of December 31, 2006 we had $102.3 million investments classified as available-for-sale. As of December 31, 2006, we had $10.0 million long-term held-to-maturity investments. During 2006 we shifted our investments to auction rate securities as we were actively evaluating potential acquisitions and partnership opportunities. Our investment policy requires that the total investment portfolio, including cash and investments, not exceed a maximum weighted-average maturity of 18 months. In addition, the policy mandates that an individual investment must have a maturity of less than 36 months, with no more than 20% of the total portfolio exceeding 24 months. As of December 31, 2006, we were in compliance with our investment policy.
 
Line of Credit
 
During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company transferred its line of credit facility from its commercial bank to an investment bank, for $20.0 million at an interest rate based on the 30-day London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 0.75%. The line of credit is collateralized by the Company’s non-equity investments. At December 31, 2006, the Company had a standby letter of credit outstanding related to one of its medical insurance carriers for $105 thousand. The market value of non-equity investments must exceed 125% of the borrowed facility amount, and the investments must meet specified investment grade ratings.
 
As of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, there were no outstanding balances on the standby letter of credit or line of credit and we were in compliance with all debt covenants.
 
Convertible Senior Notes
 
During November 2003, we completed a private offering of $100 million aggregate principal amount of 1.375% convertible senior notes due November 15, 2023 to qualified institutional buyers. The discount on the 1.375% convertible senior notes amounted to $3 million.
 
Convertible senior notes are unsecured obligations convertible into our common stock and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future obligations that are unsecured and unsubordinated. Interest on the senior notes accrues at 1.375% per year and is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15. The 1.375% convertible senior notes are payable in full in November 2023. The notes are convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time on or prior to maturity under certain circumstances, unless previously redeemed or repurchased, into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $23.57 per share, which is equal to a conversion rate of 42.4247 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes. The notes are convertible prior to maturity into shares of our common stock under certain circumstances that include but are not limited to (i) conversion due to the closing price of our common stock on the trading day prior to the conversion date reaching 120% or more of the conversion price of the notes on such trading date and (ii) conversion due to the trading price of the notes falling below 98% of the conversion value. We may redeem all or a portion of the notes at our option on or after November 15, 2006 but before November 15, 2008 provided that the closing price of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day before the date of the notice of the provisional redemption. On or after November 15, 2008, we may redeem the notes at any time. On November 15, 2008, November 15, 2013, and November 15, 2018, holders of the 1.375% convertible senior notes will have the

right to require us to purchase, in cash, all or any part of the notes held by such holder at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being purchased, together with accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, up to but excluding the purchase date.
 
As of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 we had outstanding 1.375% convertible senior notes with a face value of $100 million. As of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 the book value of the 1.375% convertible senior notes was $97.4 million and $97.3 million respectively, net of unamortized discount of $2.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of the 1.375% convertible senior notes was $96.6 million and $93.5 million at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
 
Convertible Subordinated Notes
 
During August 2000, we completed a private offering of $120 million aggregate principal amount of 5.5% convertible subordinated notes due August 15, 2007 to qualified institutional buyers. The discount on the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes amounted to $3.6 million.
 
Convertible subordinated notes are unsecured obligations convertible into our common stock and are subordinated to all of our present and future senior indebtedness. Interest on the subordinated notes accrues at 5.5% per year and is payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15. The 5.5% convertible subordinated notes are payable in full in August 2007. The notes are convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time on or before maturity, unless previously redeemed or repurchased, into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $67.80 per share, which is equal to a conversion rate of 14.7484 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes. If the closing price of our common stock equals or exceeds 140% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day before the date on which a notice of redemption is mailed, then we may redeem all or a portion of the notes at our option at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the notes plus a premium (which declines annually on August 15 of each year), together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
 
On April 26, 2005 the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of the remaining principal amount of the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes.
 
In 2006, we repurchased $100 thousand principal amount of the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes. We repurchased the notes for $100 thousand, with a recorded loss of $1 thousand.
 
In 2005, we repurchased $7.5 million principal amount of the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes, with an associated discount of $69 thousand. We repurchased the notes in the open market for $7.4 million and, as a result, recorded a loss of $50 thousand.
 
In 2004, we repurchased $58.8 million principal amount of the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes, with an associated discount of $897 thousand. We repurchased the notes in the open market for $58.2 million and, as a result, recorded a loss of $387 thousand.
 
From 2000 to 2003, we repurchased $51.3 million principal amount of the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes, with an associated discount of $1.4 million. We repurchased the notes for $41.0 million and, as a result, recorded a gain of $8.9 million.
 
As of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 we had outstanding 5.5% convertible subordinated notes with a face value of $2.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 the book value of the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes was $2.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively, net of amortized discount of $8 thousand and $20 thousand, respectively. The estimated fair value of the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes was $2.4 million and $2.5 million at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not engage in any activity involving special purpose entities or off-balance sheet financing.
 
Liquidity Outlook
 
We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and investments, net, amounting to $136.0 million at December 31, 2006 and the cash generated from operations will satisfy our short and long-term expected working capital needs, capital expenditures, stock repurchases, and other liquidity requirements associated with our existing business operations. Capital expenditures are expected to range from $1.5 million to $2.0 million per quarter as we make additional R&D and IT capital investments. We plan to actively continue evaluating potential acquisitions and partnership opportunities which could affect our liquidity.

Item 7A.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and equity trading prices, which could affect our financial position and results of operations.
 
Interest Rate Risk.  We invest excess cash in debt instruments of the U.S. Government and its agencies, and those of high-quality corporate issuers. We attempt to protect and preserve our invested funds by limiting default, market, and reinvestment risk. Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair value adversely affected due to a rise in interest rates while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates decline. Due to the short duration of most of the investment portfolio, an immediate 10% change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair value of our investment portfolio. Additionally,

Table of Contents

the interest rate changes affect the fair market value but do not necessarily have a direct impact on our earnings or cash flows. Therefore, we would not expect our operating results or cash flows to be affected, to any significant degree, by the effect of a sudden change in market interest rates on the securities portfolio. The estimated fair value of our debt securities that we have invested in at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $112.5 million and $202.6 million, respectively. The effect of an immediate 10% change in interest rates would not have a material effect on our operating results or cash flows.
 
Foreign Currency Risk.  We pay the expenses of our international operations in local currencies, namely, the Euro, British Pound Sterling, New Shekel, Japanese Yen, Chinese Renminbi and Canadian Dollar. The international operations are subject to risks typical of an international business, including, but not limited to: differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, foreign exchange rate volatility and other regulations and restrictions. Accordingly, future results could be materially and adversely affected by changes in these or other factors. We are also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the balance sheets and income statements of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars during the consolidation process. Because exchange rates vary, these results, when translated, may vary from expectations and adversely affect overall expected profitability. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations resulted in a net gain of $96 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2006, and a net loss of $803 thousand and $317 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2005, and 2004, respectively.
 
Convertible Senior Notes.  During November 2003, we completed a private offering of $100 million aggregate principal amount of 1.375% convertible senior notes due November 15, 2023 to qualified institutional buyers. The discount on the 1.375% convertible senior notes amounted to $3 million.
 
Convertible senior notes are unsecured obligations convertible into our common stock and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future obligations that are unsecured and unsubordinated. Interest on the senior notes accrues at 1.375% per year and is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15. The 1.375% convertible senior notes are payable in full in November 2023. The notes are convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time on or prior to maturity under certain circumstances, unless previously redeemed or repurchased, into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $23.57 per share, which is equal to a conversion rate of 42.4247 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes. The notes are convertible prior to maturity into shares of our common stock under certain circumstances that include but are not limited to (i) conversion due to the closing price of our common stock on the trading day prior to the conversion date reaching 120% or more of the conversion price of the notes on such trading date and (ii) conversion due to the trading price of the notes falling below 98% of the conversion value. We may redeem all or a portion of the notes at our option on or after November 15, 2006 but before November 15, 2008 provided that the closing price of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day before the date of the notice of the provisional redemption. On or after November 15, 2008, we may redeem the notes at any time. On November 15, 2008, November 15, 2013, and November 15, 2018, holders of the 1.375% convertible senior notes will have the right to require us to purchase, in cash, all or any part of the notes held by such holder at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being purchased, together with accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, up to but excluding the purchase date.
 
The fair value of the 1.375% convertible senior notes is sensitive to interest rate changes. Interest rate changes would result in increases or decreases in the fair value of the 1.375% convertible senior notes, due to differences between market interest rates and rates in effect at the inception of the obligation. Unless we elect to repurchase our 1.375% convertible senior notes in the open market, changes in the fair value of 1.375% convertible senior notes have no impact on our cash flows or consolidated financial statements. The estimated fair value of the 1.375% convertible senior notes was $96.6 million, $93.5 million and $106.8 million at December 31, 2006, December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.
 
Convertible Subordinated Notes.  During August 2000, we completed a private offering of $120 million aggregate principal amount of 5.5% convertible subordinated notes due August 15, 2007 to qualified institutional buyers. The discount on the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes amounted to $3.6 million.
 
Convertible subordinated notes are unsecured obligations convertible into our common stock and are subordinated to all present and future senior indebtedness of RadiSys. Interest on the subordinated notes


44


Table of Contents

accrues at 5.5% per year and is payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15. The 5.5% convertible subordinated notes are payable in full in August 2007. The notes are convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time on or before maturity, unless previously redeemed or repurchased, into shares of our common tock at a conversion price of $67.80 per share, which is equal to a conversion rate of 14.7484 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes. If the closing price of our common stock equals or exceeds 140% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day before the date on which a notice of redemption is mailed, then we may redeem all or a portion of the notes at our option at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the notes plus a premium (which declines annually on August 15 of each year), together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. The fair value of the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes is sensitive to interest rate changes. Interest rate changes would result in increases or decreases in the fair value of the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes, due to differences between market interest rates and rates in effect at the inception of the obligation. Unless we elect to repurchase our 5.5% convertible subordinated notes in the open market, changes in the fair value of 5.5% convertible subordinated notes have no impact on our cash flows or consolidated financial statements. The estimated fair value of the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes was $2.4 million, $2.5 million and $10.0 million at December 31, 2006, December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.
 
We have cumulatively repurchased 5.5% convertible subordinated notes in the amount of $117.7 million, face value, for $106.7 million. These repurchases were financed from our investment portfolio and cash from operations. As of December 31, 2006, our aggregate cash and cash equivalents and investments were $136.0 million.

Third Quarter 2006 Acquisition of Convedia.  On September 1, 2006, we completed the acquisition of all of the capital stock of Convedia for approximately $106.1 million cash and incurred a $14.0 million in-process research and development charge.
 
Fourth Quarter 2006 Restructuring.  During the fourth quarter of 2006, we initiated a restructuring plan that included the elimination of 12 positions primarily supporting our contract manufacturing operations as a result of the termination of our relationship with one of our manufacturing partners in North America. The restructuring plan also includes closing our Charlotte, North Carolina manufacturing support office. In 2006, we incurred severance and other employee-related separation costs of $329 thousand as a result of this restructuring event. We expect this workforce reduction and office closure to be completed by September 30, 2007.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
 
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework.  Based on our assessment, we conclude that, as of December 31, 2006, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, the disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls of Convedia which was acquired effective September 1, 2006. Convedia represents approximately 3% and 18% (4% excluding acquired goodwill and intangibles) of RadiSys’ consolidated revenues and consolidated total assets, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2006. Management was unable to assess the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting of Convedia because of the timing of the acquisition. Management expects to update its assessment of the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to include Convedia as soon as practicable but in any event, no later than in the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2007.
 
Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, has been audited by KPMG, LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm who also audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this Item 8, as stated in the report which appears on page 47 hereof.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
RadiSys Corporation:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of RadiSys Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2006. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited financial statement schedule II. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of RadiSys Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
 
As discussed in notes 14 and 18 to the consolidated financial statements, in the year ended December 31, 2006, RadiSys Corporation adopted SEC staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, “Considering the Effect of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements” and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payments,” respectively.
 
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of RadiSys Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 1, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of, and the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
RadiSys Corporation:
 
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that RadiSys Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). RadiSys Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
In our opinion, management’s assessment that RadiSys Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also, in our opinion, RadiSys Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

RADISYS CORPORATION
 
 
Note 1 — Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation
 
RadiSys Corporation (“RadiSys” or the “Company”) was incorporated in March 1987 under the laws of the State of Oregon for the purpose of developing, producing and marketing computer system (hardware and software) products for embedded computer applications in the manufacturing automation, medical, transportation, telecommunications and test equipment marketplaces. The Company has evolved into a leading provider of embedded systems for compute, data processing and network-intensive applications to original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) within the communications networking and commercial systems markets.
 
The Company, in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”), adjusted its beginning retained earnings for fiscal 2006 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. See Note 14 for additional information on the adoption SAB 108.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been properly eliminated in consolidation.
 
Management Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. This includes, among other things, collectibility of accounts receivable; valuation of inventories, intangible assets and deferred income taxes; and the adequacy of warranty obligations and restructuring liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts in prior years to conform to current year presentation.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete, as evidenced by the following revenue recognition criteria: an agreement with the customer, fixed pricing, transfer of title and risk of loss and customer acceptance, if applicable, and that the collectibility of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. When a sales arrangement contains multiple elements, such as hardware and software products, licenses and/or services, the Company allocates revenue to each element based on its relative fair value, or for software, based on vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value. In the absence of fair value for a delivered element, the Company first allocates revenue to the fair value of the undelivered elements and the residual revenue to the delivered elements. Where the fair value for an undelivered element cannot be determined, the Company defers revenue for the delivered elements until the undelivered elements are delivered. The Company limits the amount of revenue recognition for delivered elements to the amount that is not contingent on the future delivery of products or services or subject to customer-specified return or refund privileges.
 
Hardware
 
Under the Company’s standard terms and conditions of sale, the Company transfers title and risk of loss to the customer at the time product is shipped to the customer and revenue is recognized accordingly, unless


56


Table of Contents

 
RADISYS CORPORATION
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

customer acceptance is uncertain or significant obligations remain. The Company reduces revenue for estimated customer returns for rotation rights according to agreements with its distributors. The amount of revenues derived from these distributors as a percentage of revenues was 3.4% for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 1.5% for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. The Company accrues the estimated cost of post-sale obligations for product warranties, based on historical experience at the time the Company recognizes revenue.
 
Software Royalties and Licenses
 
Revenue from customers for prepaid, non-refundable software royalties is recorded when the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Revenue for non-prepaid royalties is recognized at the time the underlying product is shipped by the customer paying the royalty. The Company recognizes software license revenue at the time of shipment or upon delivery of the software master provided when the revenue recognition criteria have been met and VSOE exists to allocate the total fee to all delivered and undelivered elements of the arrangement.
 
Software maintenance
 
Software maintenance services are recognized as earned on the straight-line basis over the terms of the contracts.
 
Engineering and other services
 
Engineering services revenue is recognized upon completion of certain contractual milestones and customer acceptance of the services rendered. Other services revenues include hardware repair services and custom software implementation projects. Hardware repair services revenues are recognized when the services are complete. Software implementation revenues are recognized upon completion of certain contractual milestones and customer acceptance of the services rendered.
 
Capitalized Software Development Costs
 
The Company does not capitalize internal software development costs incurred in the production of computer software as the Company concluded it would not incur any material costs between the point of technological feasibility and general release of the product to customers in the future. As such software and development costs are expensed as R&D costs.
 
Shipping Costs
 
The Company’s shipping and handling costs for product sales are included under cost of sales for all periods presented. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 shipping and handling costs represented approximately 1% of cost of sales.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents in accordance with a Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 95 “Statement of Cash Flows.”
 
Investments
 
Auction rate securities are classified as available-for-sale short-term investments. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value, and unrealized holding gains and losses are recorded, net of tax, as a


57


Table of Contents

 
RADISYS CORPORATION
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income, which has historically been immaterial. Investments classified as held-to-maturity with original maturities of more than three months but less than a year are classified as short-term investments, and investments classified as held-to-maturity with original maturities more than a year are classified as long-term investments in the consolidated financial statements.
 
The Company’s investments consist of auction rate municipal securities and U.S. government notes and bonds. The Company classifies, at the date of acquisition, its investments into categories in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” The Company’s investments consisting of U.S. government notes and bonds are classified as held-to-maturity as the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold those securities to maturity and are stated at amortized cost in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s investment policy requires that the held to maturity investments, including cash and investments, not exceed a maximum weighted-average maturity of 18 months. In addition, the policy mandates that an individual investment must have a maturity of less than 36 months, with no more than 20% of the total portfolio exceeding 24 months. Realized gains and losses, and interest and dividends on all securities are included in other expense, net and Interest income, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Trade accounts receivable are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. Management reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts quarterly for reasonableness and adequacy. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable may be required. In the event the Company determined that a smaller or larger reserve was appropriate, it would record a credit or a charge in the period in which such determination is made. In addition to customer accounts that are specifically reserved for, the Company maintains a non-specific bad debt reserve for all customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time receivables are past due, trends in overall weighted average risk rating of the total portfolio, macroeconomic conditions, significant one-time events and historical experience. Typically, this non-specific bad debt reserve amounts to at least 1% of quarterly revenues. The Company’s customers are concentrated in the technology industry and the collection of its accounts receivable are directly associated with the operational results of the industry.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, net of an inventory valuation allowance. RadiSys uses the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method to determine cost. We evaluate inventory on a quarterly basis for obsolete or slow-moving items to ascertain if the recorded allowance is reasonable and adequate. Inventory is written down for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated net realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.
 
Long-Lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and definite-life intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” The Company assesses the impairment of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flow the assets are expected to generate compared to the carrying value of the assets. If the carrying amount of the assets is determined not to be recoverable, a write-down to fair value is recorded. Management estimates future cash flows using assumptions about expected future operating performance. Management’s estimates of


58


Table of Contents

 
RADISYS CORPORATION
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

future cash flows may differ from actual cash flow due to, among other things, technological changes, economic conditions or changes to our business operations.
 
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the assigned value of the net assets in connection with all acquisitions. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 142 requires goodwill to be tested for impairment at least annually and under certain circumstances and will be written down when impaired.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment is recorded at historical cost and depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis as follows:
 
     
Buildings
  40 years
Machinery, equipment, furniture and fixtures
  5 years
Software, computer hardware, vehicles and manufacturing test fixtures
  3 years
Engineering equipment and demonstration products
  1 year
Leasehold improvements
  Lesser of the lease term or
estimated useful lives
 
Ordinary maintenance and repair expenses are charged to income when incurred.
 
Accounting for Leases
 
The Company leases most of its facilities, certain office equipment and vehicles under non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2011, along with options that permit renewals for additional periods. Rent escalations are considered in the determination of straight-line rent expense for operating leases. Leasehold improvements made at the inception of or during the lease are amortized over the shorter of the asset life or the lease term.
 
Asset Retirement Obligations
 
The Company leases most of its facilities under various operating leases, some of which contain clauses that require the Company to restore the leased facility to its original state at the end of the lease term. In accordance with SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” and FIN 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations”, the Company has completed its analysis to identify asset retirement obligations and to estimate the associated fair value. As of December 31, 2006 the Company did not identify any material asset retirement obligations. If the Company had identified and estimated material asset retirement obligations it would then initially measure the obligation at fair value and record it as a liability with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the underlying property. Subsequently, the asset retirement obligation would accrete until the time the retirement obligation is expected to settle while the asset retirement cost is amortized over the useful life of the underlying property.
 
Accrued Restructuring and Other Charges
 
For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 expenses associated with exit or disposal activities are recognized when probable and estimable under SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” for everything but severance. Because the Company has a history of paying severance benefits, the cost of severance benefits associated with a restructuring charge is recorded when such costs are probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

RADISYS CORPORATION
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 
For leased facilities that were vacated, an amount equal to the total future lease obligations from the date of vacating the premises through the expiration of the lease, net of any future sublease income, was recorded as a part of restructuring charges.
 
Warranty
 
The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time it recognizes revenue. Products are generally sold with warranty coverage for a period of 24 months after shipment. On a quarterly basis the Company assesses the reasonableness and adequacy of the warranty liability and adjusts such amounts as necessary.
 
Warranty reserves are included in other accrued liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. See also Notes 11 and 15.
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. R&D expenses consist primarily of salary, bonuses and benefits for product development staff, and cost of design and development supplies and equipment, net of reimbursements for non-recurring engineering services.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to “more likely than not” be realized in future tax returns. Tax law and rate changes are reflected in the period such changes are enacted.
 
Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
 
RadiSys estimates the fair value of its monetary assets and liabilities including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, long-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, convertible senior notes and convertible subordinated notes based upon comparative market values of instruments of a similar nature and degree of risk in accordance with SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are a reasonable estimate of their fair values. The fair value for the investments, 1.375% convertible senior notes and the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes is based on quoted market prices as of the balance sheet date. See Note 13.
 
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” the Company reports accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and translation adjustments. The cumulative translation adjustments consist of unrealized gains (losses) in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation.” In 2004, the Company liquidated the assets of a redundant foreign subsidiary. As a result, in 2004, the Company realized a net gain of approximately $146 thousand, previously classified as a translation adjustment and included in other expenses, net in the consolidated financial statements. In 2006, the Company liquidated the assets of two separate redundant foreign subsidiaries. As a result, the Company realized a net gain of approximately $66 thousand, previously classified as translation adjustments and included such amounts in other expenses, net in the consolidated financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, using the modified prospective transition method and therefore has not restated results for prior periods. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for fiscal 2006 includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. The Company recognizes these compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”). In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) regarding the SEC’s interpretation of SFAS 123R and the valuation of share-based payments for public companies. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123R. See Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion on stock-based compensation.
 
Net income (loss) per share
 
For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company computed earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” (“SFAS 128”). Accordingly, basic earnings per share amounts were computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share amounts incorporated the incremental shares issuable upon assumed exercise of stock options, incremental shares associated with the assumed vesting of restricted stock and the assumed conversion of the Company’s convertible notes, as if the conversion to common shares had occurred at the beginning of the fiscal year and when such conversion would have the effect of reducing earnings per share. When the conversion of the Company’s convertible notes has the effect of reducing earnings per share earnings have also been adjusted for the interest expense on the convertible notes. See also Note 16.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company was in a loss position, and as a result only computed basic net loss per share based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.
 
Foreign currency translation
 
Assets and liabilities of international operations, using a functional currency other then the U.S. dollar, are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. Income and expense accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the actual daily rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Adjustments resulting from translating foreign functional currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are recorded as a separate component in shareholders’ equity in accordance with SFAS No. 130. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses are included in other expense, net, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations resulted in a net gain of $96 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2006, and a net loss of $803 thousand and $317 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2005, and 2004, respectively.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement (“SFAS”) No. 109.” This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The interpretation describes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken. It also provides for guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transition. FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company will be required to adopt this interpretation in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN No. 48 on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
In June 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation)” (“EITF 06-3”) to clarify diversity in practice on the presentation of different types of taxes in the financial statements. The Task Force concluded that, for taxes within the scope of the issue, a company may adopt a policy of presenting taxes either gross within revenue or net. That is, it may include charges to customers for taxes within revenues and the charge for the taxes from the taxing authority within cost of sales, or, alternatively, it may net the charge to the customer and the charge from the taxing authority. If taxes subject to this Issue are significant, a company is required to disclose its accounting policy for presenting taxes and the amounts of such taxes that are recognized on a gross basis. The guidance in this consensus is effective for the first interim reporting period beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that the adoption of this EITF will have on its financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the SEC issued SAB 108. SAB 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be taken into consideration when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements for purposes of determining whether the current year’s financial statements are materially misstated. SAB 108 permits registrants to record the cumulative effect of initial adoption by recording the necessary “correcting” adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that year with the offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings only if material under the dual method. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2006. See Note 14 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. It also responds to investors’ requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its financial statements.

Auction rate securities primarily consist of municipal bonds and have been classified as available-for-sale short-term investments. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value, and unrealized holding gains and losses are recorded, net of tax, as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 the Company did not recognize any gains or losses on the sales of available-for-sale investments. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, there were no unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale investments. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had the intent and ability to hold held-to-maturity investments to maturity, and the securities are stated at amortized cost in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair market value disclosed in this footnote is representative of the portfolio’s value at December 31, 2006 had there been an unusual or unplanned liquidation of the underlying investments. The Company’s investment policy requires that the total investment portfolio, including cash and investments, not exceed a maximum weighted-average maturity of 18 months. In addition, the policy mandates that an individual investment must have a maturity of less than 36 months, with no more than 20% of the total portfolio exceeding 24 months. As of December 31, 2006, the Company was in compliance with its investment policy.

The unrealized losses of these investments represented less than 1% of the cost of our investment portfolio at December 31, 2006.
 
The Company reviewed all investments with unrealized losses at December 31, 2006 and based on this evaluation concluded that these declines in fair value were temporary after considering:
 
  •  That the majority of such losses for securities in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months were interest rate related;
 
  •  Our intent and ability to keep the security until maturity.

Note 5 — Long-Lived Assets Held for Sale
 
Beginning in 2001, RadiSys made it part of its strategic plan to significantly reduce its costs. As part of its plan to reduce costs RadiSys began in 2004 to outsource the manufacture of most of its products. Through various restructuring activities, facilities requirements for manufacturing and other activities in the Hillsboro, Oregon location have decreased significantly. As a result, management decided to transfer operations currently located in one of the Company’s buildings in Hillsboro, Oregon (“DC3 building”) to its other building located in Hillsboro, Oregon and its contract manufacturing partners.
 
In January 2006, RadiSys vacated the DC3 building and put it and the surrounding land, which had previously been held for future expansion, on the market for sale. The assets held for sale had a recorded

value of $3.5 million which included land with a value of $2.2 million, building and building improvements with a net value of $1.3 million, and machinery and equipment with a net value of $38 thousand. The Company classified this facility in net assets held for sale as of January 31, 2006, and as a result ceased depreciation of these assets. Refer to Note 22 — Subsequent Events for further information.

Note 7 — Goodwill
 
The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually. Additionally, the Company assesses goodwill for impairment if any adverse conditions exist that would indicate impairment. Conditions that would trigger an impairment assessment, include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of an asset or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. The Company is considered one reporting unit. As a result, to determine whether or not goodwill may be impaired, the Company compares its book value to its market capitalization. If the trading price of the Company’s common stock is below the book value per share at the date of the annual impairment test or if the average trading price of the Company’s common stock is below book value per share for a sustained period, a goodwill impairment test will be performed by comparing book value to estimated market value. The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment analysis as of September 30, 2006 and concluded that as of September 30, 2006, there was no goodwill impairment. See Note 20 — Acquisition of Convedia for further information.

The Company evaluates the adequacy of the accrued restructuring charges on a quarterly basis. The Company records certain reclassifications between categories and reversals to the accrued restructuring charges based on the results of the evaluation. The total accrued restructuring charges for each restructuring event are not affected by reclassifications. Reversals are recorded in the period in which the Company determines that expected restructuring obligations are less than the amounts accrued.
 
Fourth Quarter 2006 Restructuring
 
During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company initiated a restructuring plan that included the elimination of 12 positions primarily supporting the Company’s contract manufacturing operations as a result of the termination of our relationship with one of our contract manufacturers in North America. The restructuring plan also includes closing our Charlotte, North Carolina manufacturing support office. We expect this workforce reduction and office closure to be completed by September 30, 2007.

Second Quarter 2005 Restructuring
 
In 2005, the Company entered into a restructuring plan that included the elimination of 93 positions primarily within the Company’s manufacturing operations. These employee positions were to be eliminated as a result of continued outsourcing of production to the Company’s manufacturing partners.

Employee termination and related costs include severance and other related separation costs. Additions to the original accrual were primarily attributable to the additional retention bonuses and related expenses for employment terminations that were expected to occur later in 2006. During the second quarter of 2006, the Company announced that it was discontinuing its relationship with one of its contract manufacturers in North America. As a result, the Company determined that all future employment terminations that were originally included in the second quarter 2005 restructuring event would not occur in the near term and the majority of the associated liability was reversed in the second quarter of 2006. The balance of the accrual related to two employees who were terminated as of December 31, 2006.
 
Fourth Quarter 2001 Restructuring
 
The accrual amount remaining as of December 31, 2005 represents lease obligations relating to the facilities in Boca Raton, Florida which were paid in January 2006.

Note 12 — Short-Term Borrowings
 
During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company transferred its line of credit facility from its commercial bank to an investment bank, for $20.0 million at an interest rate based on the 30-day London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 0.75%. The line of credit is collateralized by the Company’s non-equity investments. At December 31, 2006, the Company had a standby letter of credit outstanding related to one of its medical insurance carriers for $105 thousand. The market value of non-equity investments must exceed 125.0% of the borrowed facility amount, and the investments must meet specified investment grade ratings.
 
As of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, there were no outstanding balances on the standby letter of credit or line of credit and we were in compliance with all debt covenants.
 
Note 13 — Long-Term Liabilities
 
Convertible Senior Notes
 
During November 2003, the Company completed a private offering of $100 million aggregate principal amount of 1.375% convertible senior notes due November 15, 2023 to qualified institutional buyers. The discount on the 1.375% convertible senior notes amounted to $3 million.
 
Convertible senior notes are unsecured obligations convertible into the Company’s common stock and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future obligations that are unsecured and unsubordinated. Interest on the senior notes accrues at 1.375% per year and is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15. The 1.375% convertible senior notes are payable in full in November 2023. The notes are convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time on or prior to maturity under certain circumstances, unless previously redeemed or repurchased, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $23.57 per share, which is equal to a conversion rate of 42.4247 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes. The notes are convertible prior to maturity into shares of the Company’s common stock under certain circumstances that include but are not limited to (i) conversion due to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day prior to the conversion date reaching 120% or more of the conversion price of the notes on such trading date and (ii) conversion due to the trading price of the notes falling below 98% of the conversion value. Upon conversion the Company will have the right to deliver, in lieu of common stock, cash or a combination of cash and common stock. The Company may redeem all or a portion of the notes at its option on or after November 15, 2006 but before November 15, 2008 provided that the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days within a period

of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day before the date of the notice of the provisional redemption. On or after November 15, 2008, the Company may redeem the notes at any time. On November 15, 2008, November 15, 2013, and November 15, 2018, holders of the 1.375% convertible senior notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase, in cash, all or any part of the notes held by such holder at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being purchased, together with accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, up to but excluding the purchase date. The accretion of the discount on the notes is calculated using the effective interest method.
 
As of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 the Company had outstanding 1.375% convertible senior notes with a face value of $100 million. As of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 the book value of the 1.375% convertible senior notes was $97.4 million and $97.3 million respectively, net of unamortized discount of $2.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively. Amortization of the discount on the 1.375% convertible senior notes was $133 thousand and $131 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The estimated fair value of the 1.375% convertible senior notes was $96.6 million and $93.5 million at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
 
Convertible Subordinated Notes
 
During August 2000, the Company completed a private offering of $120 million aggregate principal amount of 5.5% convertible subordinated notes due August 15, 2007 to qualified institutional buyers. The discount on the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes amounted to $3.6 million.
 
Convertible subordinated notes are unsecured obligations convertible into the Company’s common stock and are subordinated to all present and future senior indebtedness of the Company. Interest on the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes accrues at 5.5% per year and is payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15. The 5.5% convertible subordinated notes are payable in full in August 2007. The notes are convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time on or before maturity, unless previously redeemed or repurchased, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $67.80 per share, which is equal to a conversion rate of 14.7484 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes. If the closing price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds 140% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day before the date on which a notice of redemption is mailed, then the Company may redeem all or a portion of the notes at our option at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the notes plus a premium (which declines annually on August 15 of each year), together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. The accretion of the discount on the notes is calculated using the effective interest method.
 
In 2005 the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of the remaining principal amount of the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company repurchased $100 thousand principal amount of the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes for $100 thousand with a recorded loss of $1 thousand. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company repurchased $7.5 million principal amount of the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes with an associated discount of $69 thousand. The Company repurchased the notes in the open market for $7.4 million and recorded a loss of $50 thousand.
 
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005 the Company had outstanding 5.5% convertible subordinated notes with a face value of $2.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 the book value of the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes was $2.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively, net of amortized discount of $8 thousand and $20 thousand, respectively. Amortization of the discount on the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes was $12 thousand and $106 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The estimated fair value of the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes was $2.4 million and $2.5 million at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

On November 15, 2008, November 15, 2013, and November 15, 2018, holders of the 1.375% convertible senior notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase, in cash, all or any part of the notes held by such holder at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being purchased, together with accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, up to but excluding the purchase date.
 
Note 14 — Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108
 
As discussed under Recent Accounting Pronouncements in Note 1, in September 2006, the SEC released SAB 108. The transitional provisions of SAB 108 permit the Company to adjust for the cumulative effect on retained earnings of immaterial errors relating to prior years. SAB 108 also requires the adjustment of any prior quarterly financial statements within the fiscal year of adoption for the effects of such errors on the quarters when the information is next presented. Such adjustments do not require previously filed reports with the SEC to be amended. In accordance with SAB 108, the Company has adjusted beginning retained earnings for fiscal 2006 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the items described below. The Company considers these adjustments to be immaterial to prior periods.
 
The Company currently leases two buildings in Hillsboro Oregon, which serve as the Company’s headquarters and primary in-house manufacturing facilities. The leases were entered into in October of 1996 and March of 1997 and extend to October of 2011. The terms of each lease include escalating lease payments over the life of the leases. These leases have been properly accounted for as operating leases but the expense associated with these leases was based on actual payments instead of a straight-line basis in accordance with the SFAS 13, “Accounting for Leases”. The cumulative error resulted in a reduction to 2006 beginning retained earnings, net of tax of $704 thousand and an increase in current and long-term liabilities for the deferred rent liability as of January 1, 2006 of $1.1 million.

Rent expense totaled $3.6 million, $3.2 million and $3.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
 
Adverse Purchase Commitments
 
The Company is contractually obligated to reimburse its contract manufacturers for the cost of excess inventory used in the manufacture of the Company’s products, for which there is no alternative use. Estimates for adverse purchase commitments are derived from reports received on a quarterly basis from the Company’s contract manufacturers. Increases to this liability are charged to cost of goods sold. When and if the Company takes possession of inventory reserved for in this liability, the liability is transferred from other accrued liabilities (Note 11) to our excess and obsolete inventory valuation allowance (Note 4).
 
Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations
 
In November 2002, the FASB issued FIN No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,” an interpretation of SFAS No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34. FIN No. 45 requires that a guarantor recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken by issuing the guarantee and requires additional disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees it has issued. The following is a summary of the agreements that the Company has determined are within the scope of FIN No. 45.
 
As permitted under Oregon law, the Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers, directors and certain finance employees for certain events or occurrences while the officer, director or employee is or was serving in such capacity at the request of the Company. The term of the indemnification period is for the officer’s, director’s or employee’s lifetime. 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 its exposure and enables the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. To date, the Company has not incurred any costs associated with these indemnification agreements and, as a result, management believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any liabilities for these agreements as of December 31, 2006.
 
The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in its ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party

RADISYS CORPORATION
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally our business partners or customers, in connection with patent, copyright or other intellectual property infringement claims by any third party with respect to our current products, as well as claims relating to property damage or personal injury resulting from the performance of services by us or our subcontractors. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is generally limited. Historically, our costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims relating to such indemnity agreements have been minimal and accordingly management believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is immaterial.
 
The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time it recognizes revenue. Products are generally sold with warranty coverage for a period of 24 months after shipment. Parts and labor are covered under the terms of the warranty agreement. The workmanship of our products produced by contract manufacturers is covered under warranties provided by the contract manufacturer for a specified period of time ranging from 12 to 15 months. The warranty provision is based on historical experience by product family. The Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its components suppliers; however ongoing failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting product failure, as well as specific product class failures out of the Company’s baseline experience affect the estimated warranty obligation. If actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.
 
The following is a summary of the change in the Company’s warranty accrual reserve for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands):
 
                 
    For the Years Ended
 
    December 31,  
    2006     2005

Warranty liability balance, end of the year
  $ 2,000     $ 2,124  
                 
 
The warranty liability balance is included in other accrued liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. The Company offers fixed price support or maintenance contracts to its customers however, revenues from fixed price support or maintenance contracts were not significant to the Company’s operations for the years reported.
 
On November 22, 2005, the Company received a notice from a customer claiming a breach of a software maintenance support contract and claiming damages. In the fourth quarter of 2006 the Company received additional notice that the customer intended on settling their claim, however the amount has not yet been agreed upon. Although the Company disputes the validity of the claim it has determined that any likely settlement of this claim will range from zero to $950 thousand and has accordingly recorded its current best estimate of the probable settlement of the matter as an accrual. The Company maintains their original accrual is still their best estimate of the probable settlement of the matter.

(A) For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, interest on the 1.375% convertible subordinated notes and related if-converted shares were excluded from the net income per share calculation as the effect would be anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2006 the if-converted shares associated with the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes were excluded from the calculation as the effect would be anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the total number of if-converted shares associated with the 5.5% convertible subordinated notes excluded from the net income per share calculation was 36 thousand, 117 thousand and 485 thousand, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, the total number of if-converted shares associated with the 1.375% convertible senior notes was 4.2 million.
 
(B) For the year ended December 31, 2006, options amounting to 3.1 million were excluded from the calculation as the Company was in a loss position. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, options amounting to 1.8 million and 2.0 million, respectively, were excluded from the calculation as the exercise prices were higher than the average market price of the common shares; therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive.

The Company has recorded valuation allowances of $7.0 million and $6.8 million at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, due to uncertainty involving utilization of certain net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The increase in valuation allowance of $227 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005 is primarily attributable to a projected decrease in future utilization of general business tax credits carryforwards based on estimates of future taxable income.
 
At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had total available federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $38.1 million and $38.8 million, respectively, before valuation allowance. The federal net operating loss carryforwards expire between 2009 and 2023 and consist of approximately $14.9 million of consolidated taxable loss remaining after loss carrybacks to prior years, $9.1 million of loss carryforwards from the Texas Micro merger in 1999, and $14.1 million of loss carryforwards from the Microware acquisition in August of 2001. The net operating losses from Texas Micro and Microware are stated net of limitations pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The annual utilization limitations are $5.7 million and approximately $732 thousand for Texas Micro and Microware, respectively. Any tax benefit recognized from the acquired Microware net operating loss carryforwards will be allocated to goodwill and will not benefit the income statement. The Company had total state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $42.3 million and $48.4 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, before valuation allowance. The state net operating loss carryforwards expire between 2007 and 2023. The Company also had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $17.2 million from certain non U.S. jurisdictions. The non U.S. net operating loss carryforwards are primarily attributable to Canada, Germany and the U.K., and amount to approximately $14.5 million, $741 thousand, and $2.0 million,

respectively. The Canada tax losses are attributable to the Convedia acquisition in September of 2006 and they expire between 2008 and 2014. The U.K. and German tax losses may be carried forward indefinitely provided certain requirements are met.
 
The Company has federal and state research and development tax credit and other federal tax credit carryforwards of approximately $12.5 million at December 31, 2006, to reduce future income tax liabilities. The federal and state tax credits expire between 2007 and 2026. The federal tax credit carryforwards include research and development tax credits of $2.3 million and $268 thousand from the Texas Micro and Microware acquisitions, respectively. The utilization of these acquired credits is subject to an annual limitation pursuant to Section 383 of the Internal Revenue Code. Any tax benefit recognized from the acquired Microware tax credit carryforwards will be allocated to goodwill and will not benefit the income statement. On December 20, 2006 President Bush signed the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 which extended the research and development tax credit. Under the Act the research and development tax credit was retroactively reinstated to January 1, 2006 and is available through December 31, 2007. The Company also had approximately $550 thousand in investment tax credit, $6.1 million in unclaimed scientific research and experimental expenditures and $6.0 million in undepreciated capital cost to be carried forward and applied against future income in Canada related to the Convedia acquisition.
 
Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Although realization is not assured, management believes that it is more likely than not that the balance of the deferred tax assets, net of the valuation allowance, as of December 31, 2006 will be realized. The amount of the net deferred tax assets that is considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced. Should management determine that the Company would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, adjustments to the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets may be required. As of December 31, 2006 we estimate utilization of the net deferred tax assets will require that we generate $60.0 million and $30.0 million in taxable income in the U.S. and Canada, respectively, prior to the expiration of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
 
Pretax book income from domestic operations for the fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $2.4 million, $9.2 million, and $9.7 million, respectively. Pretax book income (loss) from foreign operations for fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $(16.2) million, $7.9 million, and $6.6 million, respectively.
 
The Company has indefinitely reinvested approximately $9.2 million of the undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries at December 31, 2006. Such earnings would be subject to U.S. taxation if repatriated to the U.S. On December 9, 2005, RadiSys Technology (Ireland) Ltd., a wholly owned foreign subsidiary of the Company, declared a dividend of $15.5 million under Section 301 of the Internal Revenue Code. The first dividend payment of $13.5 million was completed on December 21, 2005 and the remaining dividend payment of $2.0 million was completed on June 2, 2006. Both dividend payments were fully subject to U.S. taxation. The deferred tax liability of $767 thousand recorded at December 31, 2005 related to the $2.0 million dividend was fully reversed in 2006.
 
Note 18 — Employee Benefit Plans
 
Stock-Based Employee Benefit Plans
 
Equity instruments are granted to employees, directors and consultants in certain instances, as defined in the respective plan agreements. Beginning in the second quarter of 2005, the Company issued equity instruments in the form of stock options, restricted shares and shares issued to employees as a result of the employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”). Beginning in the third quarter of 2006, the Company began issuing restricted stock units in conjunction with the other equity instruments. Prior to the second quarter of 2005, the Company issued equity instruments in the form of stock options and ESPP shares, only.

Stock Options and Restricted Stock Awards
 
The Company’s 1995 Stock Incentive Plan (“1995 Plan”) and 2001 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (“2001 Plan”) provide the Board of Directors broad discretion in creating employee equity incentives. Unless otherwise stipulated in the plan document, the Board of Directors, at their discretion, determines stock option exercise prices, which may not be less than the fair market value of RadiSys common stock at the date of grant, vesting periods and the expiration periods which are a maximum of 10 years from the date of grant. Under the 1995 Plan, as amended, 5,425,000 shares of common stock have been reserved and authorized for issuance to any non-employee directors and employees, with a maximum of 450,000 shares in connection with the hiring of an employee and 100,000 shares in any calendar year to one participant. Under the 2001 Plan, as amended, 2,250,000 shares of common stock have been reserved and authorized for issuance to selected employees, who are not executive officers or directors of the Company. Currently, all non-director stock option grants are issued under an option agreement that provides, among other things, that the option grant vests over a 3 year period; specifically, 33% of the options vest one year after the grant date and approximately 2.75% of the options vest monthly for 24 months after the first year.
 
On March 1, 2005, the Compensation and Development Committee (the “Compensation Committee) of the Board of Directors approved the form of the restricted share agreement to be used in connection with restricted stock awards to be granted to employees of the Company under the terms of the Company’s 1995 Stock Incentive Plan. The agreement provides, among other things, that 33% of the shares vest each year following the date of the grant.
 
In connection with the acquisition of Convedia Corporation described in Note 20, on September 30, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors adopted the RadiSys Corporation Stock Plan for Convedia Employees (“Convedia Plan”). The Convedia Plan was adopted without shareholder approval in reliance upon the exception provided under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(i)(1)(A)(iv) relating to awards granted in connection with an acquisition and in connection with the hiring of new employees. The Plan became effective as of September 1, 2006 (the “Effective Date”). The Convedia Plan permits the granting of stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. The maximum number of shares of common stock with respect to which awards may be granted is 365,000 shares (subject to adjustment in accordance with the Convedia Plan). In order to comply with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350, the awards may only be granted to employees transferred from Convedia in connection with the acquisition of Convedia and in connection with the future hiring of new employees of Convedia. The Convedia Plan provides that the Compensation Committee will determine the option price at which common stock may be purchased, but the price will not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. The Compensation Committee will determine the term of each option, but no option will be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of grant. The vesting of restricted stock or restricted stock units may be conditioned upon the completion of a specified period of employment, upon attainment of specified performance goals and/or upon such other criteria as the Compensation Committee determines.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
 
In December 1995, the Company established an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). All employees of RadiSys and its subsidiaries who customarily work 20 or more hours per week, including all officers, are eligible to participate in the ESPP. Separate offerings of common stock to eligible employees under the ESPP (an “Offering”) commence on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each calendar year (“Enrollment Dates”) and continue for a period of 18 months. Multiple separate Offerings are in operation under the ESPP at any given time. An employee may participate in only one Offering at a time and may purchase shares only through payroll deductions permitted under the provisions stipulated by the ESPP. The purchase price is the lesser of 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on date of grant or that of the purchase date (“look-back feature”). Pursuant to the provisions of the ESPP, as amended, the Company is authorized to issue up to 4,150,000 shares of common stock under the plan. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 the Company issued 278,173, 391,819 and 579,773 shares under the plan, respectively. At December 31, 2006, 1,299,033 shares are available for issuance under the plan.
 
Stock-Based Compensation associated with Stock-Based Employee Benefit Plans
 
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation associated with its stock-based employee benefit plans using the intrinsic value method in accordance with the provisions of APB 25 and, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure, An Amendment of SFAS No. 123,” the Company provided pro forma disclosures of net income (loss) and net income (loss) per common share for periods prior to January 1, 2006 as if the fair value method had been applied in measuring compensation expense in accordance with SFAS 123.
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R, which replaces SFAS 123 and supersedes APB 25. SFAS 123R requires companies to account for stock-based compensation based on the fair value method, which replaces the intrinsic value method. The Company adopted SFAS 123R as of January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method, which requires that compensation expense be recorded for all unvested stock options and ESPP shares outstanding as of January 1, 2006. Prior periods will not be restated. Beginning January 1, 2006, the pro forma disclosures previously permitted are no longer an alternative to financial statement recognition.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 
In 2004, in an effort to reduce the amount of stock-based compensation expense that the Company would include in its financial statements after the effective date of SFAS 123R or January 1, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved an acceleration of vesting of those non-director employee stock options with an option price greater than $15.99, which was greater than the fair market value of the shares on that date ($14.23). Approximately 1.1 million options with varying remaining vesting schedules were subject to the acceleration and became immediately exercisable. Historically the Company has not accelerated the vesting of employee stock options. As a result of the acceleration, the Company reduced the stock-based compensation expense that it would include in net income after January 1, 2006. Included in the pro forma stock-based compensation expense for fiscal year 2004 was $6.1 million associated with the acceleration, net of related tax effects. As a result of the acceleration, the Company estimates that stock-based compensation expense, net of related tax effects, was reduced by approximately $2.5 million and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively, and estimates a reduction of approximately $213 thousand for fiscal year 2007.
 
In an effort to further reduce the impact of SFAS 123R, based on Board of Director approval received on March 1, 2005, the Company changed its equity instrument compensation structure such that it has reduced the total number of options granted to employees and the number of employees who receive stock-based employee benefit plan awards.
 
As a result of adopting SFAS 123R, loss before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $6.6 million higher, and net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $6.2 million higher, than if the Company had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB 25. The impact on both basic and diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $0.29. In addition, prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company presented the tax benefit of stock option exercises as operating cash flows. Upon the adoption of SFAS 123R, tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options will be classified as financing cash flows when realized as a reduction of cash taxes owed.
 
The Company continues to use the Black-Scholes model to measure the grant date fair value of stock options and ESPP shares. The grant date fair value of stock options that are expected to vest is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is equal to the option vesting period which is, generally, 3 years. The grant date fair value of ESPP shares that are expected to vest is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally, 18 months, subject to modification at the date of purchase due to the ESPP look-back feature. The Company computes the grant date fair value of restricted stock granted as the closing price of RadiSys shares as quoted on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the earlier of the date of grant or the first date of the service period. The grant date fair value of restricted stock that are expected to vest is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is 3 years. The estimate of the number of options, ESPP shares and restricted stock expected to vest is determined based on historical experience.
 
To determine the fair value of the stock options and ESPP shares using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the calculation takes into consideration the effect of the following:
 
  •  Exercise price of the option or purchase price of the ESPP share;
 
  •  Price of our common stock on the date of grant;
 
  •  Expected term of the option or share;
 
  •  Expected volatility of our common stock over the expected term of the option or share; and
 
  •  Risk free interest rate during the expected term of the option or share.


82


Table of Contents

 
RADISYS CORPORATION
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 
The calculation includes several assumptions that require management’s judgment. The expected term of the option or share is determined based on assumptions about patterns of employee exercises, and represents a probability-weighted-average time period from grant until exercise of stock options, subject to information available at time of grant. Determining expected volatility generally begins with calculating historical volatility for a similar long-term period and then considering the ways in which the future is reasonably expected to differ from the past.
 
As part of its SFAS 123R adoption, the Company also examined its historical pattern of option exercises in an effort to determine if there were any discernable activity patterns based on certain employee populations. From this analysis, the Company identified three employee populations. The expected term computation is based on historical vested option exercise and post-vest forfeiture patterns and included an estimate of the expected term for options that were fully vested and outstanding, for each of the three populations identified. The estimate of the expected term for options that were fully vested and outstanding was determined as the midpoint of a range of estimated expected terms determined as follows: the low end of the range assumes the fully vested and outstanding options settle on the evaluation date and the high end of the range assumes that these options expire upon contractual term. The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturities in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option or share.
 
As required by SFAS No. 123, the Company computed the value of options granted and ESPP shares issued during 2006, 2005 and 2004 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for pro forma disclosure purposes. The fair value of the following stock-based awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the fiscal years ended December 31:
 
                                                 
    Options     Employee Stock Purchase Plan  
    2006     2005     2004     2006     2005     2004  
 
Expected life (in years)
    4.0       4.2       3.9       1.5       1.5       1.5

Volatility
    56 %     64 %     82 %     42 %     84 %     85 %
Dividend yield
                                   
 
For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the total value of the options granted was approximately $7.0 million, $7.4 million and $9.5 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 the weighted-average valuation per option granted was $10.18, $7.87 and $11.08, respectively. The total estimated value associated with ESPP shares to be granted under enrollment periods beginning in the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $1.9 million, $362 thousand and $2.8 million, respectively.

(A) In 2005, 97 thousand shares of restricted stock were granted. The Company incurred $199 thousand of stock-based compensation related to restricted stock for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company did not incur any stock-based compensation expense associated with restricted stock for the year ended December 31, 2004.
 
In 2004, the Company incurred $841 thousand of stock-based compensation expense associated with shares issued pursuant to the Company’s 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). The Company

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

incurred stock-based compensation expense because the original number of ESPP shares approved by the shareholders was insufficient to meet employee demand for an ESPP offering which was consummated in February 2003 and ended in August 2004. The Company subsequently received shareholder approval for additional ESPP shares in May 2003. The shares issued in the February 2003 ESPP offering in excess of the original number of ESPP shares approved at the beginning of the offering (the “shortfall”) triggered recognition of stock-based compensation expense under the intrinsic value method. The shortfall amounted to 138 thousand and 149 thousand shares in May 2004 and August 2004, respectively.

 
The expense per share was calculated as the difference between 85% of the closing price of RadiSys shares as quoted on NASDAQ on the date that additional ESPP shares were approved (May 2003) and the February 2003 ESPP offering purchase price. Accordingly, the expense per share was calculated as the difference between $8.42 and $5.48. The shortfall of shares was dependent on the amount of contributions from participants enrolled in the February 2003 ESPP offering.
 
(B) In 2004, in an effort to reduce the amount of stock-based compensation expense that the Company would include in its financial statements after the effective date of SFAS 123R or January 1, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved an acceleration of vesting of those non-director employee stock options with an option price greater than $15.99, which was greater than the fair market value of the shares on that date ($14.23). Approximately 1.1 million options with varying remaining vesting schedules were subject to the acceleration and became immediately exercisable. Historically the Company has not accelerated the vesting of employee stock options. As a result of the acceleration, the Company reduced the stock-based compensation expense that it would include in net income after January 1, 2006. Included in the pro forma stock-based compensation expense for fiscal year 2004 was $6.1 million associated with the acceleration, net of related tax effects. As a result of the acceleration, the Company estimates that stock-based compensation expense, net of related tax effects, was reduced by approximately $2.5 million and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively, and estimates a reduction of approximately $213 thousand for fiscal year 2007.
 
The effects of applying SFAS 123 for providing pro forma disclosure for 2005 and 2004 are not likely to be representative of the effects on reported net income and net income per share for future years since options vest over several years and additional awards are made each year.
 
For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, stock-based compensation was recognized and allocated as follows (in thousands):
 
                         
    2006     2005     2004  
 
Cost of sales
  $ 876     $ 23     $ 235

Total stock-based compensation expense after, income tax benefit
  $ 6,232     $ 123     $ 520  
                         
 
For the year ended December 31, 2006, stock-based compensation associated with stock options, restricted stock and ESPP shares amounted to $3.8 million, $1.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively.
 
As of December 31, 2006, $8.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.04 years. As of December 31, 2006, $5.8 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.46 years.

401(k) Savings Plan
 
The Company established a 401(k) Savings Plan (“401(k) Plan”), a defined contribution plan, as of January 1, 1989 and amended through January 1, 2001, in compliance with Section 401(k) and other related sections of the Internal Revenue Code and corresponding Regulations issued by the Department of Treasury and Section 404(c) of Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), to provide retirement benefits for its United States of America employees. Under the provisions of the plan, eligible employees are allowed pre-tax contributions of up to 20% of their annual compensation or the maximum amount permitted by the applicable statutes. Additionally, eligible employees can elect after-tax contributions of up to 5% of their annual compensation, within the limits set forth by pre-tax contributions, or to the maximum amount permitted by the applicable statutes. Pursuant to the provisions of the 401(k) Plan, the Company may contribute 50% of pre-tax contributions made by eligible employees, adjusted for loans and withdrawals, up to 6% of annual compensation for each eligible employee. The Company may elect to make supplemental contributions as periodically determined by the Board of Directors at their discretion. The contributions made by the Company on behalf of eligible employees become 100% vested after three years of service, or 33% per year after one year of service. The Company’s total contributions to the 401(k) Plan amounted to $887 thousand, $792 thousand and $812 thousand in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In addition, some of the Company’s employees outside the United States of America are covered by various defined contribution plans, in compliance with the statutes of respective countries. The participants pay for the 401(k) Savings Plan administrative expenses.
 
Deferred Compensation Plan
 
Effective January 1, 2001, the Company established a Deferred Compensation Plan, providing its directors and certain eligible employees with opportunities to defer a portion of their compensation as defined by the provisions of the plan. The Company credits additional amounts to the deferred compensation plan to make up for reductions of Company contributions under the 401(k) Plan. The deferred amounts are credited with earnings and losses under investment options chosen by the participants. The Company sets aside deferred amounts, which are then invested in long-term insurance contracts. All deferred amounts and earnings are 100% vested at all times, but are subject to the claims of creditors of the Company under a bankruptcy proceeding. Benefits are payable to a participant upon retirement, death, and other termination of employment on such other date as elected by the participant in accordance with the terms of the plan (see Note 9). Deferred amounts may be withdrawn by the participant in case of financial hardship as defined in the plan agreement.
 
Note 19 — Segment Information
 
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the reporting by public business enterprises of information about operating segments, products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The method for determining what information to report is based upon the way that management organizes the segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.
 
The Company is one operating segment according to the provisions of SFAS No. 131.

Note 20 — Acquisition of Convedia
 
On September 1, 2006, RadiSys completed the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of all of the capital stock of Convedia for approximately $105 million in cash at closing (“Initial Consideration”). Up to an additional $10 million in cash (the “Final Consideration”) is payable based on a contingent payment formula tied to achieving certain profitability goals during the twelve-month period which began on October 1, 2006 (“Contingent Payment Provision”). The total preliminary purchase price of the acquisition which consists of the Initial Consideration and the estimated direct acquisition-related expenses (“Preliminary Purchase Price”) is currently estimated to be approximately $110.9 million and has been accounted for as a purchase business combination under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”). The Final Consideration and any associated direct expenses will be recorded as additional goodwill when the Contingent Payment Provision is determinable beyond a reasonable doubt.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
 
In accordance with the purchase method of accounting as prescribed by SFAS 141 the Company allocated the Preliminary Purchase Price to the net tangible and identifiable intangibles assets, based on their estimated fair values. Until the Final Consideration and any associated direct expenses are determinable beyond a reasonable doubt, the purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to adjustment. Additionally, the Company has currently not identified any material pre-acquisition contingencies where a liability is probable and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. If information becomes available to the Company prior to the end of the purchase price allocation period or one year from the acquisition date, which would indicate that it is probable that such contingencies had existed and the amounts can be reasonably estimated, such items will be included in the final purchase price allocation. The Preliminary Purchase Price has been allocated as follows (in thousands):

The proceeds of which would be distributed as follows: 75% of the purchase price per share less the exercise price was paid to the option holder at closing or September 1, 2006 and the remaining 25% is to be paid in full to those Convedia employees still employed by RadiSys after one year of service. The 75% paid at the time of the acquisition is included in the purchase price and is allocated to goodwill. The remaining 25% is recorded as deferred

compensation and amortized through the Statement of Operations for the life of the asset (one year). Pursuant to the purchase agreement any forfeitures are reallocated to the remaining Convedia employees.
 
Identifiable intangible assets
 
The fair value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets, which are subject to amortization, was determined using the income approach. The following table sets forth the components of these intangible assets and their weighted average estimated useful lives (in thousands):

In-process research and development
 
In-process research and development (“IPR&D”) represents Convedia R&D projects that had not reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use when acquired but had been developed to a point where there was value associated with them in relation to potential future revenue. Using the income approach to value the IPR&D, RadiSys determined that $14.0 million of the purchase price represents purchased in-process technology. Because technological feasibility was not yet proven and no alternative future uses were believed to exist for the in-process technologies, the assigned value was expensed immediately upon the closing date of the acquisition.
 
The fair value underlying the $14.0 million assigned to acquire IPR&D from the Convedia acquisition (recognized in the third quarter of 2006) was determined by identifying research projects in areas for which technological feasibility had not been established and there were no alternative future uses. The acquired IPR&D consisted of next generation media server products and was approximately 75% complete as of September 1, 2006. It was completed as of December 31, 2006. In addition, this technology along with subsequently developed technology is being integrated into other new products expected to be completed in 2008. There has been no material change in the estimated cost of these projects.
 
The fair value of IPR&D was determined by an income approach where fair value is the present value of projected net free cash flows that will be generated by the products incorporating the acquired technologies under development, assuming they are successfully completed. The estimated net free cash flows generated by the products over a 7 year period was discounted at a rate of 22% which was based on the weighted average cost capital and reflected the stage of completion and the technical risks associated with achieving technological feasibility. Other factors considered were the inherent uncertainties in future revenue estimates from technology investments including the uncertainty surrounding the successful development of the IPR&D, the useful life of the technology and the profitability levels of the technology. The estimated net cash flows from these products were based on estimates of related revenues, cost of sales, R&D costs, SG&A costs, asset requirements and income taxes. The stage of completion of the products at the date of the acquisition were estimated based on R&D costs that had been expended as of the date of acquisition as compared to total R&D costs expected at completion. The percentages derived from this calculation were then applied to the net present value of future cash flows to determine the IPR&D charge. The nature of the efforts to develop the in-process technology into commercially viable products principally related to the completion of all planning, designing, prototyping, verification and testing activities that are necessary to establish that the product can be

produced to meet its design specification, including function, features and technical performance requirements. These estimates are subject to change, given the uncertainties of the development process, and no assurance can be given that deviations from these estimates will not occur or that the Company will realize any anticipated benefits of the acquisition. The risks associated with IPR&D are considered high and no assurance can be made that these products will generate any benefit or meet market expectations.
 
To the extent that estimated completion dates are not met, the risk of competitive product introduction is greater and revenue opportunity may be permanently lost.
 
Taxes
 
The Company allocated a portion of the Preliminary Purchase Price to identifiable intangible assets, which are subject to amortization. The goodwill and amortization expense associated with the identifiable intangible assets are not deductible for tax purposes. As a result, the Company recorded $9.1 million in deferred tax liabilities.
 
Pro forma financial information
 
The pro forma financial information for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 combine the historical RadiSys and Convedia statements of operations as if the Acquisition had been completed at the beginning of each fiscal year being presented. The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of each of the periods presented. The pro forma financial information for the year ended December 31, 2006 includes adjustments to amortization on acquired intangibles and adjustments to tax related effects on the acquisition.

Included in the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 is $7.2 million of stock-based compensation expense associated with the acceleration of the Convedia stock options as of the date of the acquisition. According to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, all outstanding Convedia stock options vested and considered exercised immediately upon closing or September 1, 2006. Historically Convedia had not accelerated the vesting of employee stock options.
 
Note 21 — Legal Proceedings
 
In the normal course of business, the Company becomes involved in litigation. As of December 31, 2006, in the opinion of management RadiSys had no pending litigation that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
Note 22 — Subsequent Events
 
During the first quarter of 2007, the Company accepted offers to sell its DC3 building and one of its surrounding lots. The sales are expected to close in the second quarter and third quarter, respectively.

Item 9.   Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
 
On May 11, 2005, RadiSys Corporation (the “Company”) informed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) that PwC had been dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on May 9, 2005, the date PwC completed its procedures on the Company’s unaudited interim financial statements as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 and on the Form 10-Q in which such financial statements were included. The dismissal of PwC on May 9, 2005 was approved by the Company’s Audit Committee.
 
The reports of PwC on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and PwC’s report on management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.
 
During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and through May 9, 2005 (the “Relevant Period”), there have been no disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused PwC to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years. Also, during the Relevant Period, there were no reportable events as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) (“Reportable Events”) of Regulation S-K issued by the United States of America Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).
 
The Company has requested that PwC furnish it with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether or not PwC agrees with the statements set forth in this subsection (a) above. A copy of such letter, dated May 13, 2005, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to a Form 8-K filed with the Commission on May 13, 2005.
 
On May 12, 2005, the Company engaged KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as its independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2005. The engagement of KPMG was approved by the Company’s Audit Committee.
 
During the Relevant Period, neither the Company nor (to the Company’s knowledge) anyone acting on behalf of the Company consult with KPMG regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction (either completed or proposed), (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, or (iii) any Reportable Event.
 
There have been no disagreements with accountants on any matter of accounting principles or practices or financial statement disclosure required to be reported under this item.
 
Item 9A.   Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
 
During the Company’s fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006, no change occurred in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
Management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, the disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls of Convedia which was acquired effective September 1, 2006. Convedia represents approximately 3% and 18% of RadiSys’ consolidated revenues and consolidated total assets, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2006. Management was unable to assess the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting of Convedia because of the timing of the acquisition.

Item 9B.   Other Information
 
On February 27, 2007, the Company entered into agreements to amend and update the existing indemnification agreements for the Board of Directors. The Indemnity Agreements, all in substantially the same form (the “Indemnity Agreements”), were entered into with each of C. Scott Gibson, Ken J. Bradley, Richard J. Faubert, Scott C. Grout, William W. Lattin, Kevin C. Melia, Carl W. Neun and Lorene K. Steffes, being all of the members of the Board of Directors. Each Indemnity Agreement, among other things, requires the Company to (1) indemnify a director against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of his or her status or service as a director, (2) to advance his or her expenses incurred as a result of a proceeding as to which he or she may be indemnified and (3) to cover such person under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy the Company chooses to maintain. The Indemnity Agreements also contain other provisions customary for such agreements. The Indemnity Agreements are intended to provide indemnification rights to the fullest extent permitted under applicable indemnification rights statutes in the State of Oregon and are in addition to any rights the directors may have under the Company’s Second Restated Articles of Incorporation and Restated Bylaws.
 
The foregoing description of the Indemnity Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Indemnity Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 10.23 hereto.
 
On February 27, 2007, the Company and each of Scott C. Grout, Julia A. Harper, Keith Lambert, Brian Bronson and Christian Lepiane (collectively, the “Executives” and each an “Executive”) also entered into Amended and Restated Change of Control Agreements (the “Change of Control Agreements”).
 
The primary purposes of the amendments to the Change of Control Agreements were to make the Change of Control Agreements compliant with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the related proposed regulations and other guidance, including provisions specifying the timing of payments and distributions to the Executives, and to include other technical amendments. The Change of Control Agreements also contain other changes, including changes to provide more consistency and uniformity among the agreements. The Change of Control Agreements define the benefits each Executive would receive in connection with certain change of control, or potential change of control, events coupled with their loss of employment and contain other provisions customary for such agreements.
 
The foregoing description of the Change of Control Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to each Change of Control Agreement, all of which are filed as Exhibits 10.17 through 10.21 hereto.
 
In addition, on February 27, 2007, the Company and Mr. Lambert entered into the Executive Severance Agreement (the “Severance Agreement”). Pursuant to the Severance Agreement, among other things, if Mr. Lambert’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause, death or disability, Mr. Lambert will be entitled to (1) a payment of nine months base pay, (2) up to nine months of continued coverage pursuant to COBRA under the Company’s group health plan, and (3) incentive compensation plan payout, if any, for the first six months of the calendar year if termination occurs after June 1 of any year. The Severance Agreement contains other provisions customary for such agreements.
 
The foregoing description of the Severance Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Severance Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.22 hereto.

Description of Equity Compensation Plans Not Approved by Shareholders
 
2001 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan
 
In February 2001, the Company established the 2001 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan, under which 2,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved as of December 31, 2006. Grants under the 2001 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan may be awarded to selected employees, who are not executive officers or directors of the Company. The purpose of the 2001 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan is to enable the Company to attract and retain the services of selected employees of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company. Unless otherwise stipulated in the plan document, the Board of Directors, at their discretion, determines the exercise prices (which may not be less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant), vesting periods, and the expiration periods, which are a maximum of 10 years from the date of grant.
 
RadiSys Corporation Stock Plan for Convedia Employees
 
On August 31, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors adopted the RadiSys Corporation Stock Plan for Convedia Employees (the “Plan”) for awards to be made in connection with the acquisition of Convedia Corporation. The Plan was adopted without shareholder approval in reliance upon the exception provided under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(i)(1)(A)(iv) relating to awards granted in connection with an acquisition and in connection with the hiring of new employees. The Plan became effective as of September 1, 2006 (the “Effective Date”). The Plan permits the granting of stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. The maximum number of shares of common stock with respect to which awards may be granted is 365,000 shares (subject to adjustment in accordance with the Plan). In order to comply with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350, the awards may only be granted to employees transferred from Convedia Corporation in connection with the acquisition of Convedia Corporation and in connection with the future hiring of new employees of Convedia Corporation. Unless sooner terminated by the Board of Directors, the Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. The Plan provides that the Compensation Committee will determine the option price at which common stock may be purchased, but the price will not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. The Compensation Committee will determine the term of each option, but no option will be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of grant. The Plan provides for certain terms and conditions pursuant to which restricted stock and restricted stock units may be granted under the Plan; including the term stating that all restricted stock units are to be settled in stock. Each grant of restricted stock and restricted stock units must be evidenced by an award agreement in a form approved by the Compensation Committee. The vesting of restricted stock or restricted stock units may be conditioned upon the completion of a specified period of employment, upon attainment of specified performance goals and/or upon such other criteria as the Compensation Committee determines.
 
Additional information required by this item is included in our Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held May 15, 2007 and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 13.   Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

  the Company
     1. Employment Relationship. Executive is currently employed by the Company as Vice President of Corporate Operations. Executive and the Company acknowledge that either party may terminate this employment relationship at any time and for any or no reason, provided that each party complies with the terms of this Agreement.
     2. Release of Claims. In consideration for and as a condition precedent to receiving the severance benefits outlined in this Agreement, Executive agrees to execute a Release of Claims in the form attached as Exhibit A (“Release of Claims”). Executive promises to execute and deliver the Release of Claims to the Company within the later of (a) 21 days (or, if required by applicable law, 45 days) from the date Executive receives the Release of Claims or (b) the last day of Executive’s active employment.
     3. Additional Compensation Upon Certain Termination Events.
          3.1 Change of Control. In the event of a Termination of Executive’s Employment (as defined in Section 6.1) (i) by the Company other than for Cause (as defined in Section 6.2), death or Disability (as defined in Section 6.4), or (ii) by Executive for Good Reason, and provided any of the events identified in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) occurs within 12 months following a Change of Control (as defined in Section 6.3 of this Agreement) or within three months preceding a Change of Control, and contingent upon Executive’s execution of the Release of Claims without revocation and compliance with Section 9, Executive shall be entitled to the following benefits:
          (a) As severance pay and in lieu of any other compensation for periods subsequent to the date of termination, the Company shall pay Executive, in a lump sum, an amount equal to twelve (12) months of Executive’s annual base pay at the highest annual rate in effect at any time within the 12-month period preceding the date of termination. Severance pay that is payable under this Agreement shall be paid to Executive on the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day following Executive’s date of termination or (ii) the date of Executives death.

 


 

          (b) As an additional severance benefit, the Company will provide Executive with up to twelve (12) months of continued coverage pursuant to COBRA under the Company’s group health plan at the level of benefits (whether single of family coverage) previously elected by Executive immediately before the Termination of Executive’s Employment and to the extent that Executive elects to continue coverage during such 12-month period.
          (c) All stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and other similar awards granted to Executive under the Company’s 1995 Stock Incentive Plan, 2001 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan or any other similar incentive plan shall vest in full; all stock options, stock appreciation rights and other similar purchase rights shall be immediately exercisable in full in accordance with the applicable provisions of the relevant award agreement and plan; and any risk of forfeiture included in any restricted stock, restricted stock unit, performance share, performance unit or other similar award shall immediately lapse. Stock options that are not incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and stock appreciation rights shall also be amended to permit Executive to exercise such stock options and stock appreciation rights for a period of time equal to the shorter of (i) the period of 90 days after the date of Executive’s termination; or (ii) the longer of (A) the period ending on the 15th day of the 3rd calendar month following the date at which the stock option or stock appreciation right would otherwise have expired due to Executive’s termination based on the terms of the stock option or stock appreciation right at the original grant date or (B) December 31 of the calendar year in which the stock option or stock appreciation right would otherwise have expired due to Executive’s termination based on the terms of the stock option or stock appreciation right at the original grant date. Such vesting and extension of stock options and stock appreciation rights shall occur notwithstanding any provision in any plan or award agreement which provides a shorter period of exercise following termination of employment, and such vesting and lapsing of any risk of forfeiture shall occur notwithstanding any provision in any plan or award agreement to the contrary. Any restricted stock unit, performance share, or performance unit that vests, becomes immediately exercisable in full, or is no longer subject to a risk of forfeiture pursuant to this clause (c) shall be paid or settled at such time and in such manner so as to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A or, to the extent that it cannot be so paid or settled, shall comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A.
          3.2 Parachute Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the total payments and benefits to be paid to or for the benefit of Executive under this Agreement would cause any portion of those payments and benefits to be “parachute payments” as defined in Code Section 280G(b)(2), or any successor provision, the total payments and benefits to be paid to or for the benefit of Executive under this Agreement shall be reduced to an amount that would not cause any portion of those payments and benefits to constitute “parachute payments.”
     4. Withholding; Subsequent Employment.
          4.1 Withholding. All payments provided for in this Agreement are subject to applicable withholding obligations imposed by federal, state and local laws and regulations.

2


 

          4.2 Offset. The amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced, offset or subject to recovery by the Company by reason of any compensation earned by Executive as the result of employment by another employer after termination.
     5. Other Agreements. If cash severance pay is payable to Executive under this Agreement, cash severance pay shall not be payable to Executive under any other agreement with the Company in effect at the time of termination (including but not limited to any employment agreement, but excluding for this purpose any stock option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock, restricted stock unit, performance share, performance unit or other similar award agreement that may provide for accelerated vesting or related benefits).
     6. Definitions.
          6.1 Termination of Executive’s Employment. Termination of Executive’s Employment means that (i) the Company has terminated Executive’s employment with the Company (including any subsidiary of the Company) other than for Cause (as defined in Section 6.2), death or Disability (as defined in Section 6.4), or (ii) Executive, by written notice to the Company, has terminated her employment with the Company (including any subsidiary of the Company) for Good Reason (as defined below). For purposes of this Agreement, Good Reason means:
          (a) a significant reduction by the Company or the surviving company in Executives base pay from the highest annual rate in effect at any time within the 12-month period preceding the Change of Control, other than a salary reduction that is part of a general salary reduction affecting employees generally;
          (b) a significant reduction by the Company or the surviving company in total benefits available to Executive under cash incentive, stock incentive and other employee benefit plans after the Change of Control compared to the total package of such benefits as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control;
          (c) the Company or the surviving company requires Executive to be based more than 25 miles from where Executives office is located immediately prior to the Change of Control except for required travel on Company business to an extent substantially consistent with the business travel obligations which Executive undertook on behalf of the Company immediately prior to the Change of Control; or
          (d) the assignment of Executive to a different title, job or responsibilities that results in a material decrease in the level of responsibility of Executive with respect to the surviving company after the Change of Control when compared to Executives level of responsibility for the Companys operations immediately prior to the Change of Control, provided that Good Reason shall not exist if Executive continues to have substantially the same or a greater general level of responsibility with respect to the former operations of the Company after the Change of Control as Executive had prior to the Change of Control even if the former such operations are a subsidiary or division of the surviving company.
          6.2 Cause. Termination of Executive’s Employment for “Cause” shall mean termination upon (a) the willful and continued failure by Executive to perform substantially

3


 

Executive’s reasonably assigned duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a demand for substantial performance is delivered to Executive by the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer or the President of the Company which specifically identifies the manner in which the Board of Directors believes that Executive has not substantially performed Executive’s duties or (b) the willful engaging by Executive in illegal conduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company. No act, or failure to act, on Executive’s part shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by Executive without reasonable belief that Executive’s action or omission was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board of Directors shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by Executive in the best interests of the Company.
          6.3 Change of Control. A Change of Control shall mean that one of the following events has taken place:
          (a) The shareholders of the Company approve one of the following:
     (i) Any merger or statutory plan of exchange involving the Company (“Merger”) in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a Merger involving the Company in which the holders of Common Stock immediately prior to the Merger continue to represent more than 50 percent of the voting securities of the surviving corporation after the Merger; or
     (ii) Any sale, lease, exchange, or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.
          (b) A tender or exchange offer, other than one made by the Company, is made for Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) and such offer results in a portion of those securities being purchased and the offeror after the consummation of the offer is the beneficial owner (as determined pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), directly or indirectly, of securities representing more than 50 percent of the voting power of outstanding securities of the Company.
          (c) The Company receives a report on Schedule 13D of the Exchange Act reporting the beneficial ownership by any person, or more than one person acting as a group, of securities representing more than 50 percent of the voting power of outstanding securities of the Company, except that if such receipt shall occur during a tender offer or exchange offer described in (b) above, a Change of Control shall not take place until the conclusion of such offer.
Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, no Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement by virtue of any transaction which results in Executive, or a group of persons which includes Executive, acquiring, directly or

4


 

indirectly, securities representing 20 percent or more of the voting power of outstanding securities of the Company.
          6.4 Disability. “Disability” means Executive’s absence from Executive’s full-time duties with the Company for 180 consecutive days as a result of Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness, unless within 30 days after notice of termination by the Company following such absence Executive shall have returned to the full-time performance of Executive’s duties. This Agreement does not apply if the Executive is terminated due to Disability.
     7. Successors; Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive and Executive’s legal representatives, executors, administrators and heirs.
     8. Entire Agreement. The Company and Executive agree that the foregoing terms and conditions constitute the entire agreement between the parties relating to the termination of Executives employment with the Company under the conditions described in Section 3.1, that this Agreement supersedes and replaces any prior agreements relating to the matters covered by this Agreement, specifically the Executive Change of Control Agreement by and between Executive and the Company dated October 3, 2001, and that there exist no other agreements between the parties, oral or written, express or implied, relating to any matters covered by this Agreement.
     9. Resignation of Corporate Offices; Reasonable Assistance. Executive will resign Executive’s office, if any, as a director, officer or trustee of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates and of any other corporation or trust of which Executive serves as such at the request of the Company, effective as of the date of termination of employment. Executive further agrees that, if requested by the Company or the surviving company following a Change of Control, Executive will continue her employment with the Company or the surviving company for a period of up to six months following the Change of Control in any capacity requested, consistent with Executive’s area of expertise, provided that Executive receives the same salary and substantially the same benefits as in effect prior to the Change of Control. Executive agrees to provide the Company such written resignation(s) and assistance upon request and that no severance will be paid until after such resignation(s) or services are provided.
     10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions.
     11. Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be modified unless such modification is agreed to in writing signed by Executive and the Company.
     12. Severability. If any of the provisions or terms of this Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such unenforceable term had never been contained in this Agreement.
     13. Code Section 409A. The parties intend that this Agreement and the severance pay and other benefits provided hereunder comply with Code Section 409A to the extent

5


 

applicable thereto. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed consistent with this intent, and the Company reserves the right to amend or modify this Agreement without the consent of Executive to the extent deemed necessary or appropriate to effectuate this intent or otherwise to comply with Code Section 409A, provided that the Company shall use reasonable efforts to provide written notice to Executive within ten (10) days of the date an amendment pursuant to this Section 13 is adopted by the Company, which notice shall include a copy of the amendment and shall provide a general description of the terms of the amendment and of the basis for the determination that such amendment is necessary or appropriate to comply with Code Section 409A.
     14. Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any administrative or civil action brought by Executive to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall pay Executive’s reasonable attorneys’ fees through trial and/or on appeal.

Executive and the Company acknowledge that either party may terminate this employment relationship at any time and for any or no reason, provided that each party complies with the terms of this Agreement.
     2. Release of Claims. In consideration for and as a condition precedent to receiving the severance benefits outlined in this Agreement, Executive agrees to execute a Release of Claims in the form attached as Exhibit A (“Release of Claims”). Executive promises to execute and deliver the Release of Claims to the Company within the later of (a) 21 days (or, if required by applicable law, 45 days) from the date Executive receives the Release of Claims or (b) the last day of Executive’s active employment.
     3. Compensation Upon Termination Following a Change of Control; Noncompetition. In the event of a Termination of Executive’s Employment (as defined in Section 6.1) (i) by the Company other than for Cause (as defined in Section 6.2), death or Disability (as defined in Section 6.4), or (ii) by Executive for Good Reason, and provided any of the events identified in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) occurs within 12 months following a Change of Control (as defined in Section 6.3 of this Agreement) or within three months preceding a Change of Control, and contingent upon Executive’s execution of the Release of Claims without revocation and compliance with Section 9, and, with respect to the Remaining Payments (as defined below), continued compliance with the provisions of Section 3.1(a), Executive shall be entitled to the following benefits:
          3.1 As severance pay and in lieu of any other compensation for periods subsequent to the date of termination, the Company shall pay Executive a total amount in cash equal to twelve (12) months of Executive’s annual base pay at the highest annual rate in effect at any time within the 12-month period preceding the date of termination (the “Base Severance”), payable as follows: (a) 25% of the Base Severance (the “First Payment”) will be paid in a single payment after employment has ended and eight days have passed following execution of the Release of Claims without revocation, and (b) the remaining 75% of the Base Severance (the


 

“Remaining Payments”) will be paid in periodic payments on regular paydays over twelve months beginning on the first regular payday following payment of the First Payment. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Base Severance shall not be payable any earlier than the earlier of (i) the date that is six months and one day following Executive’s date of termination or (ii) the date of Executive’s death, at which time the Company shall pay all delayed payments to Executive in a lump sum payment. Payment of the Remaining Payments is subject to the following restrictions:
     (a) During the period of the Remaining Payments, Executive agrees that Executive will not individually, and will not serve as or become a director, officer, partner, limited partner, employee, agent, representative, material stockholder (greater than ten percent (10%) of a company’s outstanding shares), creditor, or consultant of or to, or serve in any other capacity with any business worldwide which shall in any manner:
          (i) Engage or prepare to engage in any business which competes directly with the Company; or
          (ii) Solicit, hire or otherwise assist in any effort that attempts to employ or otherwise utilize the services of any employee of the Company.
For purposes of subclause (i), any company named as a competitor in the “Competition” section of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K will be deemed to be engaged in a business which competes directly with the Company; provided however, if a company so named as a competitor had revenues in its last fiscal year in excess of five times the Company’s revenues in its last fiscal year, and only a division or business unit representing less than half of such competitor’s revenues is engaged in a business which competes directly with the Company, only such division or business unit shall be deemed to be a competitor for purposes of subclause (i).
     (b) Executive acknowledges and agrees that the time, scope, worldwide geographic area, and other provisions of this Section 3.1 are reasonable under the circumstances. Executive further agrees that if, at any time, despite the express agreement of the parties hereto, a court of competent jurisdiction holds that any portion of this Section 3.1 is unenforceable for any reason, the maximum restrictions of time, scope, or geographic area reasonable under the circumstances, as determined by such court, will be substituted for any such restrictions held unenforceable.
          3.2 As an additional severance benefit, the Company will provide Executive with up to twelve (12) months of continued coverage pursuant to COBRA under the Company’s group health plan at the level of benefits (whether single or family coverage) previously elected

2


 

by Executive immediately before the Termination of Executive’s Employment and to the extent that Executive elects to continue coverage during such 12-month period.
          3.3 All stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and other similar awards granted to Executive under the Company’s 1995 Stock Incentive Plan, 2001 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan or any other similar incentive plan shall vest in full; all stock options, stock appreciation rights and other similar purchase rights shall be immediately exercisable in full in accordance with the applicable provisions of the relevant award agreement and plan; and any risk of forfeiture included in any restricted stock, restricted stock unit, performance share, performance unit or other similar award shall immediately lapse (all such accelerated vesting and lapsing of any risk of forfeiture is hereinafter referred to as the “Acceleration”). Stock options that are not incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and stock appreciation rights shall also be amended to permit Executive to exercise such stock options and stock appreciation rights for a period of time equal to the shorter of (i) the period of 90 days after the date of Executive’s termination; or (ii) the longer of (A) the period ending on the 15th day of the 3rd calendar month following the date at which the stock option or stock appreciation right would otherwise have expired due to Executive’s termination based on the terms of the stock option or stock appreciation right at the original grant date or (B) December 31 of the calendar year in which the stock option or stock appreciation right would otherwise have expired due to Executive’s termination based on the terms of the stock option or stock appreciation right at the original grant date. Such vesting and extension of stock options and stock appreciation rights shall occur notwithstanding any provision in any plan or award agreement which provides a shorter period of exercise following termination of employment, and such vesting and lapsing of any risk of forfeiture shall occur notwithstanding any provision in any plan or award agreement to the contrary. Any restricted stock unit, performance share, or performance unit that vests, becomes immediately exercisable in full, or is no longer subject to a risk of forfeiture pursuant to this clause (c) shall be paid or settled at such time and in such manner so as to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A or, to the extent that it cannot be so paid or settled, shall comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A.
          3.4 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in the event that Executive would receive a greater after-tax benefit from the Capped Benefit (as defined below) than from the payments (including the monetary value of any non-cash benefits and the Acceleration) otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement (the “Specified Benefits”), the Capped Benefit shall be paid to Executive and the Specified Benefits shall not be paid. The “Capped Benefit” equals the Specified Benefits, reduced by the minimum amount necessary to prevent any portion of the Specified Benefits from being subject to the excise tax imposed by Code Section 4999 or any successor provision. In determining the “Capped Benefit,” the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Specified Benefits, first by reducing or eliminating the portion of the Specified Benefits that is payable in cash, including by reducing or eliminating the Base Severance, second by reducing or eliminating the portion of the Specified Benefits that is not payable in cash (other than Specified Benefits as to which Treasury Regulations Section 1.280G-1 Q/A – 24(c) (or any successor provision thereto) applies (“Q/A-24(c) Payments”)), and third by reducing or eliminating Q/A-24(c) Payments (including by reducing or eliminating the Acceleration). In the event that any Q/A-24(c) Payment or Acceleration is to be reduced, such Q/A-24(c) Payment or Acceleration shall be reduced or cancelled in the reverse order of

3


 

the date of grant of the awards. For purposes of determining whether Executive would receive a greater after-tax benefit from the Capped Benefit than from the Specified Benefits there shall be taken into account any excise tax that would be imposed under Code Section 4999 and all federal, state and local taxes required to be paid by Executive in respect of the receipt of such payments, assuming that such payments would be taxed at the highest marginal rate applicable to individuals in the year in which the benefits are to be paid or such lower rate as Executive advises the Company in writing is applicable to Executive. The independent public accounting firm serving as the Company’s auditing firm immediately prior to the effective date of the Change of Control (the “Accountants”) shall make in writing in good faith, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.4, all calculations and determinations under this Section, including the assumptions to be used in arriving at such calculations and determinations, whether any Specified Benefits are to be reduced, and the manner and amount of any reduction in the Specified Benefits. For purposes of making the calculations and determinations under this Section, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning the application of Code Sections 280G and 4999. Executive shall furnish to the Accountants and the Company such information and documents as the Accountants or the Company may reasonably request to make the calculations and determinations under this Section. The Company shall bear all fees and costs the Accountants may reasonably charge or incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section. The Accountants shall provide its determination, together with detailed supporting calculations regarding any relevant matter, both to the Company and to Executive by no later than ten (10) days following the Executive’s date of termination. The reduction or elimination of the Remaining Payments pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall not release Executive from his obligations under Section 3.1.
     4. Withholding; Subsequent Employment.
          4.1 Withholding. All payments provided for in this Agreement are subject to applicable withholding obligations imposed by federal, state and local laws and regulations.
          4.2 Offset. Except as provided in Section 3, the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced, offset or subject to recovery by the Company by reason of any compensation earned by Executive as the result of employment by another employer after termination.
     5. Other Agreements. If cash severance pay is payable to Executive under this Agreement, cash severance pay shall not be payable to Executive under any other agreement with the Company in effect at the time of termination (including but not limited to any employment agreement).
     6. Definitions.
          6.1 Termination of Executive’s Employment. Termination of Executive’s Employment means that (i) the Company has terminated Executive’s employment with the Company (including any subsidiary of the Company) other than for Cause (as defined in Section 6.2), death or Disability (as defined in Section 6.4), or (ii) Executive, by written notice to the Company, has terminated his employment with the Company (including any subsidiary

4


 

of the Company) for Good Reason (as defined below). For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means:
     (a) a significant reduction by the Company or the surviving company in Executive’s base pay from the highest annual rate in effect at any time within the 12-month period preceding the Change of Control, other than a salary reduction that is part of a general salary reduction affecting employees generally;
     (b) a significant reduction by the Company or the surviving company in total benefits available to Executive under cash incentive, stock incentive and other employee benefit plans after the Change of Control compared to the total package of such benefits as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control;
     (c) the Company or the surviving company requires Executive to be based more than 25 miles from where Executive’s office is located immediately prior to the Change of Control except for required travel on Company business to an extent substantially consistent with the business travel obligations which Executive undertook on behalf of the Company immediately prior to the Change of Control; or
     (d) the assignment of Executive to a different title, job or responsibilities that results in a material decrease in the level of responsibility of Executive with respect to the surviving company after the Change of Control when compared to Executive’s level of responsibility for the Company’s operations prior to the Change of Control, provided that Good Reason shall not exist if Executive continues to have substantially the same or a greater general level of responsibility with respect to the former operations of the Company after the Change of Control as Executive had immediately prior to the Change of Control even if the former such operations are a subsidiary or division of the surviving company.
          6.2 Cause. Termination of Executive’s Employment for “Cause” shall mean termination upon (a) the willful and continued failure by Executive to perform substantially Executive’s reasonably assigned duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a demand for substantial performance is delivered to Executive by the Board of Directors which specifically identifies the manner in which the Board of Directors believes that Executive has not substantially performed Executive’s duties or (b) the willful engaging by Executive in illegal conduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company. No act, or failure to act, on Executive’s part shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by Executive without reasonable belief that Executive’s action or omission was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a

5


 

resolution duly adopted by the Board of Directors shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by Executive in the best interests of the Company.
          6.3 Change of Control. A Change of Control shall mean that one of the following events has taken place:
     (a) The shareholders of the Company approve one of the following:
          (i) Any merger or statutory plan of exchange involving the Company (“Merger”) in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a Merger involving the Company in which the holders of Common Stock immediately prior to the Merger continue to represent more than 50 percent of the voting securities of the surviving corporation after the Merger; or
          (ii) Any sale, lease, exchange, or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.
     (b) A tender or exchange offer, other than one made by the Company, is made for Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) and such offer results in a portion of those securities being purchased and the offeror after the consummation of the offer is the beneficial owner (as determined pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), directly or indirectly, of securities representing more than 50 percent of the voting power of outstanding securities of the Company.
     (c) The Company receives a report on Schedule 13D of the Exchange Act reporting the beneficial ownership by any person, or more than one person acting as a group, of securities representing more than 50 percent of the voting power of outstanding securities of the Company, except that if such receipt shall occur during a tender offer or exchange offer described in (b) above, a Change of Control shall not take place until the conclusion of such offer.
Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, no Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement by virtue of any transaction which results in Executive, or a group of persons which includes Executive, acquiring, directly or indirectly, securities representing 20 percent or more of the voting power of outstanding securities of the Company.

6


 

          6.4 Disability. “Disability” means Executive’s absence from Executive’s full-time duties with the Company for 180 consecutive days as a result of Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness, unless within 30 days after notice of termination by the Company following such absence Executive shall have returned to the full-time performance of Executive’s duties. This Agreement does not apply if the Executive is terminated due to Disability.
     7. Successors; Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive and Executive’s legal representatives, executors, administrators and heirs.
     8. Entire Agreement. The Company and Executive agree that the foregoing terms and conditions constitute the entire agreement between the parties relating to the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company under the conditions described in Section 3, that this Agreement supersedes and replaces any prior agreements relating to the matters covered by this Agreement, specifically the Executive Change of Control Agreement by and between Executive and the Company dated October 15, 2002, and that there exist no other agreements between the parties, oral or written, express or implied, relating to any matters covered by this Agreement.
     9. Resignation of Corporate Offices; Reasonable Assistance. Executive will resign Executive’s office, if any, as a director, officer or trustee of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates and of any other corporation or trust of which Executive serves as such as a representative of the Company at the request of the Company, effective as of the date of termination of employment. Executive further agrees that, if requested by the Company or the surviving company following a Change of Control, Executive will continue his employment with the Company or the surviving company for a period of up to six months following the Change of Control in any capacity requested, consistent with Executive’s area of expertise, provided that the Executive receives the same salary and substantially the same benefits as in effect prior to the Change of Control. Executive agrees to provide the Company such written resignation(s) and assistance upon request and that no severance will be paid until after such resignation(s) or services are provided.
     10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions.
     11. Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be modified unless such modification is agreed to in a writing signed by Executive and the Company.
     12. Severability. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.1, if any of the provisions or terms of this Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such unenforceable term had never been contained in this Agreement.
     13. Code Section 409A. The parties intend that this Agreement and the severance pay and other benefits provided hereunder comply with Code Section 409A to the extent

7


 

applicable thereto.

     14. Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any administrative or civil action brought by Executive to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall pay Executive’s reasonable attorneys’ fees through trial and/or on appeal.

     5. Other Agreements.

No act, or failure to act, on Executive’s part shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by Executive without reasonable belief that Executive’s action or omission was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company.

               (ii) Any sale, lease, exchange, or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.
     (b) A tender or exchange offer, other than one made by the Company, is made for Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) and such offer results in a portion of those securities being purchased and the offeror after the consummation of the offer is the beneficial owner (as determined pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), directly or indirectly, of securities representing more than 50 percent of the voting power of outstanding securities of the Company.
     (c) The Company receives a report on Schedule 13D of the Exchange Act reporting the beneficial ownership by any person, or more than one person acting as a group, of securities representing more than 50 percent of the voting power of outstanding securities of the Company, except that if such receipt shall occur during a tender offer or exchange offer described in (b) above, a Change of Control shall not take place until the conclusion of such offer.
Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, no Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement by virtue of any transaction which results in Executive, or a group of persons which includes Executive, acquiring, directly or indirectly, securities representing 20 percent or more of the voting power of outstanding securities of the Company.

     9. Resignation of Corporate Offices; Reasonable Assistance. Executive will resign Executive’s office, if any, as a director, officer or trustee of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates and of any other corporation or trust of which Executive serves as such at the request of the Company, effective as of the date of termination of employment. Executive further agrees that, if requested by the Company or the surviving company following a Change of Control, Executive will continue his employment with the Company or the surviving company for a period of up to six months following the Change of Control in any capacity requested, consistent with Executive’s area of expertise, provided that Executive receives the same salary and substantially the same benefits as in effect prior to the Change of Control.

     1. Employment Relationship. Executive is currently employed by the Company as Chief Financial Officer. Executive and the Company acknowledge that either party may terminate this employment relationship at any time and for any or no reason, provided that each party complies with the terms of this Agreement.
     2. Release of Claims. In consideration for and as a condition precedent to receiving the severance benefits outlined in this Agreement, Executive agrees to execute a Release of Claims in the form attached as Exhibit A (“Release of Claims”). Executive promises to execute and deliver the Release of Claims to the Company within the later of (a) 21 days (or, if required by applicable law, 45 days) from the date Executive receives the Release of Claims or (b) the last day of Executive’s active employment.
     3. Additional Compensation Upon Certain Termination Events.
          3.1 Change of Control. In the event of a Termination of Executive’s Employment (as defined in Section 6.1) (i) other than for Cause (as defined in Section 6.2), death or Disability (as defined in Section 6.4), or (ii) as a result of a requirement to accept a position greater than twenty-five (25) miles from Executive’s current work location or a position of less total compensation (i.e. base salary plus bonus target), and provided any of the events identified in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) occurs within 12 months following a Change of Control (as defined in Section 6.3 of this Agreement) or within three months preceding a Change of Control, and contingent upon Executive’s execution of the Release of Claims without revocation and compliance with Section 9, Executive shall be entitled to the following benefits:
          (a) As severance pay and in lieu of any other compensation for periods subsequent to the date of termination, the Company shall pay Executive, in a lump sum, an amount equal to twelve (12) months of Executive’s annual base pay at the highest annual rate in effect at any time within the 12-month period preceding the date of termination. Severance pay that is payable under this Agreement shall be paid to Executive on the earlier of (i) the date that is six months and one day following Executive s date of termination or (ii) the date of Executive s death.

 


 

          (b) As an additional severance benefit, the Company will provide Executive with up to twelve (12) months of continued coverage pursuant to COBRA under the Company’s group health plan at the level of benefits (whether single or family coverage) previously elected by Executive immediately before the Termination of Executive’s Employment and to the extent that Executive elects to continue coverage during such 12-month period.
          (c) All stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and other similar awards granted to Executive under the Company’s 1995 Stock Incentive Plan, 2001 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan or any other similar incentive plan shall vest in full; all stock options, stock appreciation rights and other similar purchase rights shall be immediately exercisable in full in accordance with the applicable provisions of the relevant award agreement and plan; and any risk of forfeiture included in any restricted stock, restricted stock unit, performance share, performance unit or other similar award shall immediately lapse. Stock options that are not incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code” ), and stock appreciation rights shall also be amended to permit Executive to exercise such stock options and stock appreciation rights for a period of time equal to the shorter of (i) the period of 90 days after the date of Executive’s termination; or (ii) the longer of (A) the period ending on the 15th day of the 3rd calendar month following the date at which the stock option or stock appreciation right would otherwise have expired due to Executive’s termination based on the terms of the stock option or stock appreciation right at the original grant date or (B) December 31 of the calendar year in which the stock option or stock appreciation right would otherwise have expired due to Executive’s termination based on the terms of the stock option or stock appreciation right at the original grant date. Such vesting and extension of stock options and stock appreciation rights shall occur notwithstanding any provision in any plan or award agreement which provides a shorter period of exercise following termination of employment, and such vesting and lapsing of any risk of forfeiture shall occur notwithstanding any provision in any plan or award agreement to the contrary. Any restricted stock unit, performance share, or performance unit that vests, becomes immediately exercisable in full, or is no longer subject to a risk of forfeiture pursuant to this clause (c) shall be paid or settled at such time and in such manner so as to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A or, to the extent that it cannot be so paid or settled, shall comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A.
          3.2 Parachute Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the total payments and benefits to be paid to or for the benefit of Executive under this Agreement would cause any portion of those payments and benefits to be “parachute payments” as defined in Code Section 280G(b)(2), or any successor provision, the total payments and benefits to be paid to or for the benefit of Executive under this Agreement shall be reduced to an amount that would not cause any portion of those payments and benefits to constitute “parachute payments.”
     4. Withholding; Subsequent Employment.
          4.1 Withholding. All payments provided for in this Agreement are subject to applicable withholding obligations imposed by federal, state and local laws and regulations.

2


 

          4.2 Offset. The amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced, offset or subject to recovery by the Company by reason of any compensation earned by Executive as the result of employment by another employer after termination.
     5. Other Agreements. If cash severance pay is payable to Executive under this Agreement, cash severance pay shall not be payable to Executive under any other agreement with the Company in effect at the time of termination (including but not limited to any employment agreement, but excluding for this purpose any stock option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock, restricted stock unit, performance share, performance unit or other similar award agreement that may provide for accelerated vesting or related benefits).
     6. Definitions.
          6.1 Termination of Executive’s Employment. Termination of Executive’s Employment means that (i) the Company has terminated Executive’s employment with the Company (including any subsidiary of the Company) other than for Cause (as defined in Section 6.2), death or Disability (as defined in Section 6.4), or (ii) Executive, by written notice to the Company, has terminated his employment as a result of a requirement by the Company (including any subsidiary of the Company) that he accept a position requiring a relocation from his current work location or a position of less total compensation.
          6.2 Cause. Termination of Executive’s Employment for “Cause” shall mean termination upon (a) the willful and continued failure by Executive to perform substantially Executive’s reasonably assigned duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a demand for substantial performance is delivered to Executive by the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer or the President of the Company which specifically identifies the manner in which the Board of Directors believes that Executive has not substantially performed Executive’s duties or (b) the willful engaging by Executive in illegal conduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company. No act, or failure to act, on Executive’s part shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by Executive without reasonable belief that Executive’s action or omission was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board of Directors shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by Executive in the best interests of the Company.
          6.3 Change of Control. A Change of Control shall mean that one of the following events has taken place:
          (a) The shareholders of the Company approve one of the following:
     (i) Any merger or statutory plan of exchange involving the Company (“Merger”) in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a Merger involving the Company in which the holders of Common Stock immediately prior to the Merger continue to represent more

3


 

than 50 percent of the voting securities of the surviving corporation after the Merger; or
     (ii) Any sale, lease, exchange, or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.
          (b) A tender or exchange offer, other than one made by the Company, is made for Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) and such offer results in a portion of those securities being purchased and the offeror after the consummation of the offer is the beneficial owner (as determined pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), directly or indirectly, of securities representing more than 50 percent of the voting power of outstanding securities of the Company.
          (c) The Company receives a report on Schedule 13D of the Exchange Act reporting the beneficial ownership by any person, or more than one person acting as a group, of securities representing more than 50 percent of the voting power of outstanding securities of the Company, except that if such receipt shall occur during a tender offer or exchange offer described in (b) above, a Change of Control shall not take place until the conclusion of such offer.
Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, no Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement by virtue of any transaction which results in Executive, or a group of persons which includes Executive, acquiring, directly or indirectly, securities representing 20 percent or more of the voting power of outstanding securities of the Company.
          6.4 Disability. “Disability” means Executive’s absence from Executive’s full-time duties with the Company for 180 consecutive days as a result of Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness, unless within 30 days after notice of termination by the Company following such absence Executive shall have returned to the full-time performance of Executive’s duties. This Agreement does not apply if the Executive is terminated due to Disability.
     7. Successors; Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive and Executive’s legal representatives, executors, administrators and heirs.
     8. Entire Agreement. The Company and Executive agree that the foregoing terms and conditions constitute the entire agreement between the parties relating to the termination of Executive s employment with the Company under the conditions described in Section 3.1, that this Agreement supersedes and replaces any prior agreements relating to the matters covered by this Agreement, specifically the Executive Change of Control Agreement by and between Executive and the Company dated October 26, 2006, and that there exist no other agreements between the parties, oral or written, express or implied, relating to any matters covered by this Agreement.

4


 

     9. Resignation of Corporate Offices; Reasonable Assistance. Executive will resign Executive’s office, if any, as a director, officer or trustee of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates and of any other corporation or trust of which Executive serves as such at the request of the Company, effective as of the date of termination of employment. Executive further agrees that, if requested by the Company or the surviving company following a Change of Control, Executive will continue his employment with the Company or the surviving company for a period of up to six months following the Change of Control in any capacity requested, consistent with Executive’s area of expertise, provided that Executive receives the same salary and substantially the same benefits as in effect prior to the Change of Control. Executive agrees to provide the Company such written resignation(s) and assistance upon request and that no severance will be paid until after such resignation(s) or services are provided.
     10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions.
     11. Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be modified unless such modification is agreed to in writing signed by Executive and the Company.
     12. Severability. If any of the provisions or terms of this Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such unenforceable term had never been contained in this Agreement.
     13. Code Section 409A. The parties intend that this Agreement and the severance pay and other benefits provided hereunder comply with Code Section 409A to the extent applicable thereto. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed consistent with this intent, and the Company reserves the right to amend or modify this Agreement without the consent of Executive to the extent deemed necessary or appropriate to effectuate this intent or otherwise to comply with Code Section 409A, provided that the Company shall use reasonable efforts to provide written notice to Executive within ten (10) days of the date an amendment pursuant to this Section 13 is adopted by the Company, which notice shall include a copy of the amendment and shall provide a general description of the terms of the amendment and of the basis for the determination that such amendment is necessary or appropriate to comply with Code Section 409A.
     14. Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any administrative or civil action brought by Executive to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall pay Executive’s reasonable attorneys’ fees through trial and/or on appeal.

In the event of a Termination of Executive’s Employment (as defined in Section 6.1) other than for Cause (as defined in Section 6.2), death or Disability (as defined in Section 6.3), and contingent upon Executive’s execution of the Release of Claims without revocation and compliance with Section 9, Executive shall be entitled to the following benefits:

Severance pay that is payable under this Agreement shall be paid to Executive within 30 days following the “Effective Date” (as such term is defined in the Release of Claims) of the Release of Claims.
          (b) As an additional severance benefit, the Company will provide Executive with up to nine (9) months of continued coverage pursuant to COBRA under the Company’s

 


 

group health plan at the level of benefits (whether single or family coverage) previously elected by Executive immediately before the Termination of Executive’s Employment and to the extent that Executive elects to continue coverage during such 9-month period.
          (c) The Company shall pay Executive his incentive compensation plan payout, if any, for the first six months of the calendar year in which occurs the Termination of Executive’s Employment at the same time as other executive employees and no later than December 31 of such calendar year, provided that Executive has been employed by the Company through June 1 of such calendar year.

     5. Other Agreements. Executive shall not be entitled to any benefits under this Agreement if severance benefits are payable to Executive under the Amended and Restated Executive Change of Control Agreement by and between Executive and the Company dated February 27, 2007.
     6. Definitions.
          6.1 Termination of Executive’s Employment. Termination of Executive’s Employment means that the Company has terminated Executive’s employment with the Company (including any subsidiary of the Company) other than for Cause (as defined in Section 6.2), death or Disability (as defined in Section 6.3).
          6.2 Cause. Termination of Executive’s Employment for “Cause” shall mean termination upon (a) the willful and continued failure by Executive to perform substantially Executive’s reasonably assigned duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a demand for substantial performance is delivered to Executive by the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer or the President of the Company which specifically identifies the manner in which the Board of Directors believes that Executive has not substantially performed Executive’s duties or (b) the willful engaging by Executive in illegal conduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company. No act, or failure to act, on Executive’s part shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by Executive without reasonable belief that Executive’s action or omission was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board of Directors shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by Executive in the best interests of the Company.

2


 

          6.3 Disability. “Disability” means Executive’s absence from Executive’s full-time duties with the Company for 180 consecutive days as a result of Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness, unless within 30 days after notice of termination by the Company following such absence Executive shall have returned to the full-time performance of Executive’s duties. This Agreement does not apply if the Executive is terminated due to Disability.
     7. Successors; Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive and Executive’s legal representatives, executors, administrators and heirs.

     9. Resignation of Corporate Offices. Executive will resign Executive’s office, if any, as a director, officer or trustee of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates and of any other corporation or trust of which Executive serves as such at the request of the Company, effective as of the date of termination of employment. Executive agrees to provide the Company such written resignation(s) upon request and that no severance pay or other benefits will be paid until after such resignation(s) are provided.
     10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions.
     11. Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be modified unless such modification is agreed to in writing signed by Executive and the Company.
     12. Severability. If any of the provisions or terms of this Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such unenforceable term had never been contained in this Agreement.
     13. Code Section 409A. The parties intend that this Agreement and the severance pay and other benefits provided hereunder comply with Code Section 409A to the extent applicable thereto. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed consistent with this intent, and the Company reserves the right to amend or modify this Agreement without the consent of Executive to the extent deemed necessary or appropriate to effectuate this intent or otherwise to comply with Code Section 409A, provided that the Company shall use reasonable efforts to provide written notice to Executive within ten (10) days of the date an amendment pursuant to this Section 13 is adopted by the Company, which notice shall include a copy of the amendment and shall provide a general description of the terms of the amendment and of the basis for the determination that such amendment is necessary or appropriate to comply with Code Section 409A.

Exhibit 10.23
INDEMNITY AGREEMENT
     THIS AGREEMENT is made as of                     , 200___, by and between RadiSys Corporation, an Oregon corporation (“Company”), and                      (“Indemnitee”), an officer or director of the Company.
RECITALS
     A. It is essential to the Company to retain and attract as directors and officers the most capable persons available.
     B. It continues to be the express policy of the Company to indemnify its directors and officers so as to provide them with the maximum possible protection permitted by law from the costs and expenses of such litigation risks. Each of the Second Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company (“Articles”) and the Restated Bylaws of the Company (“Bylaws”) require indemnification of the directors of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Articles, Bylaws and the Oregon Business Corporation Act (“Act”) expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth in the Articles, Bylaws and the Act are not exclusive, and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of its board of directors and officers with respect to indemnification of directors and officers.
     C. The Company and Indemnitee recognize the substantial increase in corporate litigation in general, subjecting directors, officers, employees, agents and fiduciaries to expensive litigation risks resulting from their service to the Company, at the same time as the availability and scope of coverage of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance provide increasing challenges for the Company.
     D. Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the Articles, Bylaws and insurance adequate in the present circumstances, and may not be willing to serve or continue to serve as a director or officer without adequate protection, and the Company wants Indemnitee to serve in that capacity free from undue concern from claims for damages arising out of or related to such services to the Company.
     E. The Board of Directors of the Company (“Board”) has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining highly qualified persons such as Indemnitee is detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s shareholders and the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the respective covenants and agreements provided in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged) the Company and Indemnitee agree as follows:

1


 

     1. Services to the Company. Indemnitee will serve or continue to serve, at the will of the Company, as a director or officer of the Company for so long as Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or until Indemnitee tenders a resignation in writing.
     2. Definitions. As used in this Agreement:
     (a) The term “Proceeding” shall include any actual, threatened, pending or completed action or suit, investigation, inquiry, hearing or any other actual, threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether brought in the right of the Company or otherwise, whether formal or informal, and whether of a civil, criminal, judicial, administrative, legislative or investigative nature, in which Indemnitee may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, whether or not serving in such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification or reimbursement can be provided under this Agreement.
     (b) The term “Expenses” includes, without limitation, expense of investigations, whether formal or informal, judicial, legislative or administrative Proceedings or appeals, attorneys’ fees, expenses customarily incurred in connection with preparing to prosecute, defend, investigate or being or preparing to be a witness in, or otherwise participating in a Proceeding, and disbursements and any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification under Section 11 of this Agreement. Expenses shall also include expenses incurred in connection with any appeal resulting from any Proceeding, including, without limitation, the premium, security for, and other costs relating to any cost bond, supersedes bond, other appeal bond or its equivalent. Expenses, however, shall not include amounts paid in settlement by Indemnitee or the amount of judgments or fines against Indemnitee.
     (c) References to “other enterprise” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise tax assessed with respect to any employee benefit plan; reference to “serving at the request of the Company” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the interest of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Company” as referred to in this Agreement.
     (d) For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Company or other enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Company or other enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Company or legal counsel to the applicable other enterprise or the Board or counsel selected by any committee of the Board or on information or records given or reports made to the

2


 

Company or other enterprise by a certified public accountant or by an appraiser, investment banker, compensation consultant, or other expert selected by the Company, the other enterprise or the Board or any committee of the Board. The provisions of this Section 2(d) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct.
     3. Indemnity in Third-Party Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) against all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding, but only if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.
     4. Indemnity in Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by or in the right of Company to procure a judgment in its favor against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of the Proceeding, but only if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. No indemnification for Expenses shall be made under this Section 4 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged by a court to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that any court in which the Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity.
     5. Indemnification of Expenses of Successful Party. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, including the dismissal of an action without prejudice, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses incurred in connection therewith.
     6. Additional Indemnification.
     (a) Notwithstanding any limitation in Sections 3, 4 or 5, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) against all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding. No indemnity shall be made under this Section 6(a) on account of Indemnitee’s conduct which constitutes a breach of Indemnitee’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders or is an act or omission not in good faith or which involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law.

     (b) Notwithstanding any limitation in Sections 3, 4, 5 or 6(a), the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) against all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding.
     (c) For purposes of Sections 6(a) and 6(b), the meaning of the phrase “to the fullest extent permitted by law” shall include, but not be limited to:
     (i) to the fullest extent permitted by the provision of the Act that authorizes or contemplates additional indemnification by agreement, or the corresponding provision of any amendment to or replacement of the Act, and
     (ii) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by any amendments to or replacements of the Act adopted after the date of this Agreement that increase the extent to which a corporation may indemnify its officers and directors.
     7. Exclusions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnity in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee:
     (a) for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision;
     (b) for any transaction from which Indemnitee was adjudged liable on the basis that Indemnitee derived an improper personal benefit;
     (c) for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law;
     (d) if a court having jurisdiction in the matter shall finally determine that such indemnification is not lawful under any applicable statute or public policy; or
     (e) in connection with any Proceeding (or part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee, or any Proceeding by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Company is expressly required by law to make the indemnification, (ii) the Proceeding was authorized by the Board, (iii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law, or (iv) Indemnitee initiated the Proceeding pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement and Indemnitee is successful in whole or in part in the Proceeding.

     8. Advances of Expenses. The Company shall pay all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in any Proceeding in advance, prior to the final disposition thereof, at the written request of Indemnitee, if Indemnitee:
     (a) furnishes the Company a written affirmation in the form attached as Exhibit A or such other form as meets the requirements of ORS 60.397 or successor statutes covering the same subject matter of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified by the Company under this Agreement; and
     (b) furnishes the Company a written undertaking in the form attached as Exhibit A or such other form as meets the requirements of ORS 60.397 or successor statutes covering the same subject matter to repay the advance to the extent that it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. Advances shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement.
     (c) Indemnitee’s right to advancement of Expenses pursuant to this Section 8 is not subject to the satisfaction of any standard of conduct. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, within five business days after any request by Indemnitee, the Company shall, in accordance with such request (but without duplication), (a) pay such Expenses on behalf of Indemnitee, (b) advance to Indemnitee funds in an amount sufficient to pay such Expenses or (c) reimburse Indemnitee for such Expenses.
     9. Notification and Defense of Claim. Not later than forty-five (45) days after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, Indemnitee will, if a claim in respect of the Proceeding is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement of the Proceeding. The omission to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee otherwise than under this Agreement. With respect to any Proceeding as to which Indemnitee notifies the Company of the commencement:
     (a) The Company will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense.
     (b) Except as otherwise provided below, the Company may, at its option and jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified and electing to assume such defense, assume the defense of the Proceeding, with legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall have the right to use separate legal counsel selected at Indemnitee’s sole discretion in the Proceeding, but the Company shall not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement, including Section 8 above, for the fees and expenses of separate legal counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense, unless (i) Indemnitee reasonably concludes that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of the Proceeding or (ii) the Company does not use legal counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding. The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding

5


 

brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which Indemnitee shall have made the conclusion provided for in (i) above.
     (c) If two or more persons who may be entitled to indemnification from the Company, including the Indemnitee, are parties to any Proceeding, the Company may require Indemnitee to use the same legal counsel as the other parties. Indemnitee shall have the right to use separate legal counsel in the Proceeding, but the Company shall not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement, including Section 8 above, for the fees and expenses of separate legal counsel incurred after notice from the Company of the requirement to use the same legal counsel as the other parties, unless the Indemnitee reasonably concludes that there may be a conflict of interest between Indemnitee and any of the other parties required by the Company to be represented by the same legal counsel.
     (d) The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Indemnitee shall permit the Company to settle any Proceeding the defense of which it assumes, except that the Company shall not settle any action or claim in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent, which may be given or withheld in Indemnitee’s sole discretion.
     10. Procedure Upon Application for Indemnification. Any indemnification under Sections 3, 4, 5 or 6 of this Agreement shall be made no later than 45 days after receipt of the written request of Indemnitee for indemnification and shall not require that a determination be made in accordance with the Act by the persons specified in the Act that indemnification is required under this Agreement. However, unless it is ordered by a court in an enforcement action under Section 11 of this Agreement, no such indemnification shall be made if a determination is made within such 45-day period by (a) the Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the Proceeding, or (b)independent legal counsel in a written opinion (which counsel shall be appointed if a quorum is not obtainable), that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement.
     11. Enforcement.
     (a) Any right to indemnification or advances granted by this Agreement to Indemnitee shall be enforceable by or on behalf of Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction if (a) the Company denies the claim for indemnification or advances, in whole or in part, or (b) the Company does not dispose of the claim within 45 days of a written request for indemnification or advances. Indemnitee, in the enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting the claim. It shall be a defense to any such enforcement action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for advancement of Expenses pursuant to Section 8 above, if Indemnitee has tendered to the Company the required affirmation and undertaking) that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, but the burden of proving this defense shall be on the Company. Neither a failure of the Company (including its Board or its shareholders) to make a determination prior to the commencement of the enforcement action that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in

6


 

the circumstances, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its Board or its shareholders) that indemnification is improper shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order of court, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise.
     (b) In making any determination concerning Indemnitee’s right to indemnification, there shall be a presumption that Indemnitee has satisfied the applicable standard of conduct, and the Company may overcome such presumption only by its adducing clear and convincing evidence to the contrary. Any determination concerning Indemnitee’s right to indemnification that is adverse to Indemnitee may be challenged by the Indemnitee in the applicable court. No determination by the Company (including without limitation by its directors or any independent counsel) that Indemnitee has not satisfied any applicable standard of conduct shall be a defense to any Claim by Indemnitee for indemnification or reimbursement or advance payment of Expenses by the Company hereunder or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct.
     (c) The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company or the Company itself shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.
     12. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provisions of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or part of the Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in the investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of any Proceeding but not, however, for the total amount, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of the Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement to which Indemnitee is entitled.
     13. Nonexclusivity and Continuity of Rights. The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the articles of incorporation, the bylaws, any other agreement, any vote of shareholders or directors, the Act, or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee’s official capacity and as to action in other capacity while holding office. The indemnification under this Agreement shall continue as to Indemnitee even though Indemnitee ceases to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representatives of Indemnitee.
     14. Maintenance of Liability Insurance. For the duration of Indemnitee’s service as a director and/or officer of the Company, and thereafter for so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any pending or possible claim, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account the scope and amount of coverage available relative to the cost thereof) to cause to be maintained in effect policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing coverage for directors and/or officers of the Company that is at least substantially comparable in scope and amount to that provided by the Company’s current policies of directors’ and officers’

7


 

liability insurance. The minimum AM Best rating for the insurance carriers of such insurance carrier shall be not less than A- VI. The Company shall provide Indemnitee with a copy of all directors’ and officers’ liability insurance applications, binders, policies, declarations, endorsements and other related materials, and shall provide Indemnitee with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the same. Without limiting the generality or effect of the requirement to use best efforts to obtain insurance and give directors and chance to review the proposal, the Company shall not discontinue or significantly reduce the scope or amount of coverage from one policy period to the next without the prior approval thereof by a majority vote of the directors, even if less than a quorum.
     15. Business Combinations. If any person or group (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) acquires the legal right to elect a majority of the Board in a transaction or series of transactions that has not received the prior approval of the Board, (a) the Company or its successor, as the case may be, shall, for a period of two years following the date that such legal right is acquired (the “Trigger Date”), maintain any and all directors and officers’ liability insurance in effect prior to the Trigger Date that covers Indemnitee and (b) this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding on the Company and any successor in accordance with its terms.
     16. Information Sharing. To the extent permitted by applicable law the Company shall promptly provide to Indemnitee a complete copy of any information, filing, response to discovery request (whether formal or informal), or other similar delivery of information Company has made to any third party concerning any investigation, whether formal or informal, relating to Indemnitee.
     17. Severability. If this Agreement or any portion of it is invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee as to Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any Proceeding to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Agreement that is not invalidated or by any other applicable law.
     18. Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall execute all documents required and shall do all acts that may be necessary to secure such rights and to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.
     19. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both parties. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement (whether or not similar) nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver, unless expressly stated in any waiver.
     20. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) upon delivery if delivered by hand to the party to whom the notice or other communication shall have been directed or (b) if mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it is so mailed:

     23. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns.
     24. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (which term shall include any exhibits and schedules hereto) constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto and supersedes and replaces any and all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
     25. Compliance with Code Section 409A. To the extent that the Board determines that any indemnification or advances granted by this Agreement are subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), this Agreement shall incorporate the terms and conditions necessary to avoid the consequences specified in Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code. To the extent applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in compliance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Board determines that any indemnification or advances granted by this Agreement may be subject to Code Section 409A, the Board may, without the consent of Indemnitee, adopt such supplements, modifications and amendments to this Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including supplements, modifications, amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Board determines are necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the indemnification and advances from Code Section 409A or (ii) comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, provided that the Board shall provide written notice to Indemnitee within ten (10) days of the date of any action taken by the Board pursuant to this Section 25, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the action taken (including, if applicable, provision of a copy of any written supplement, modification, amendment, policy or procedure adopted) and the basis for the determination that such action is necessary or appropriate.

Dear Scott,
On behalf of the RadiSys Corporation Board of Directors, I am pleased to make you a contingent offer to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer, and a member of our Board of Directors. This offer is contingent upon the successful results of our reference checks, which we have not yet completed at your request. We anticipate completing those reference checks by no later than Sept 23rd, assuming your references are available to speak with us, and will let you know whether the results were successful at or before that time. If the results of the reference checks are successful, your compensation and benefits as President and Chief Executive Officer would be as outlined in this letter. I will be serving as Chairman of the Board of RadiSys to work closely with you.
Your base salary would be $375,000, payable bi-weekly. Your annual incentive compensation plan target would be $220,000 or 58.6% of your base pay. This means your total compensation would be $595,000 if you meet your incentive goals. We would guarantee your bonus at target for Q402 pro-rated for proportion of the quarter when you were employed by RadiSys. The 2003 goals would be agreed upon with the compensation committee of the Board . Your 2003 goals should be of the same structure as the balance of your executive team. The CEO, Executives and senior directors would have to achieve several specific objectives (MBO’s) in order to earn their full incentive bonus or to exceed it. We expect there should be upside in the design of the incentive plan. The new CEO will have significant input into the design of the 2003 plan.
You would also be granted 350,000 stock options under our Stock Incentive Plan. The term of the option would be seven years, with shares vesting one-third on the first anniversary and in equal monthly increments thereafter until fully vested on the third anniversary. The exercise price would be the last-trade price on the date you start work at RadiSys. As much of the options as permitted by law will be granted as ISO options, with the remainder issued as nonqualified options. You would be eligible for your first refresh grant at the time of the first yearly company refresh process after your one year anniversary.

 


 

RadiSys would provide you with $90,000 for relocation assistance. All or a portion of this amount would be grossed up as necessary to make this tax neutral to you and your family. This amount is meant to cover all relocation related expenses including reasonable time to sell your house in Dallas. This payment would be included with your normal payroll checks within the first month of employment. Relocation assistance must be repaid on a pro-rated basis if you voluntarily terminate employment within 24 months of your date of hire. You may want to consult your own tax advisor for more extensive information. In addition, RadiSys will introduce you to our principle bank and assist you to the extent possible under applicable law to obtain bridge or other financing to facilitate your move to Oregon. We have just contacted Glenna Olson, who is the Senior Vice President and Managing Director of the Private Banking group of US Bank, and she represented that there should be no problem as long as you do not have any overall credit issues. She can be reached at 503-275-4160 or you can also deal with her associate, Laurie Wooley at 503-275-3932.
In addition, the company offers an Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP) which allows you to purchase stock in the company at a discount. As an executive, you would be subject to our stock ownership policy, a copy of which is also enclosed.
Our benefits plan includes medical with Aetna; dental with ODS, and vision insurance with Vision Service Plan (VSP). RadiSys pays 100% of the cost of your insurance program and offers dependent coverage under the medical, dental, and vision insurance at a minimal cost to you. In keeping with our commitment to a smoke-free workplace, we do charge a nominal premium for employees or insured dependents that smoke. You would also be eligible to participate in additional executive benefit programs including Executive Physical, Financial and Tax Planning, and an Executive Deferred Compensation Plan.
Term life insurance equal to twice your annual base salary, capped at $600,000.,and long term disability insurance would also be included in your benefit package. The company sponsors a 401(k) plan, with a company match. After you accumulate 1,000 hours of service in a calendar year, the Company will match $0.50 for every dollar you contribute up to the first 6% of compensation provided that you are employed on December 31 of that year.
You would be eligible for an Executive Change of Control Agreement identical in form to the Executive Change of Control Agreement currently in effect with our Chief Financial Officer. That agreement would provide for severance and accelerated option vesting if there is a change of control and your employment is terminated without cause, as those terms are defined in the agreement, contingent upon receipt of a release. A brief summary of the key terms is:
12 months base salary severance if a termination without cause occurs, as defined in the agreement, as a result of a change of control for a specified period; and all your unyested options would accelerate. This severance would be contingent upon receipt of a release.
RadiSys Corporation is an at-will employer. Either the employee or the Company can terminate the employment relationship at any time with or without cause, reason, or notice. However, if

 


 

you are terminated without cause the company’s current practice is to pay its executives 6 months base salary severance, contingent upon receipt of a release. In your case, the severance amount would be 12 months, contingent upon receipt of a release.
We understand that you are indebted to your current employer in the amount of $98,000 secured by 2.4 million Chorum shares. We would hope, after good faith negotiations on your part, your current employer will accept forgiveness of your loan. If this line of discussion isn’t fruitful perhaps some of your stock in your employer could be offered as full repayment of that loan. Our bank could also look at bridging the loan for a longer period of time in combination with some stock return. I have not received support from our compensation committee for your idea of potential service on the Chorum Board as a back-up method to relieve the loan. We would be more open, if it becomes absolutely necessary, to a fair split between an amount of stock surrender on your part with some one time hiring bonus on our part used to pay off the loan.
Please read and sign the enclosed Employee Agreement and this offer letter and return both to me. By signing, you acknowledge that you accept the terms set forth in this letter upon notification that the reference checks have been successfully completed. The terms of this letter will remain valid for 1 week following the date of this letter. Employment will also be contingent upon your satisfactorily passing a background check and pre-employment drug test.
Scott, I am personally delighted at the prospect of working with you. Please do not hesitate to call me if I can answer any questions.
Sincerely,
     /s/ Scott Gibson
Scott Gibson, Director and Chair of CEO Search Committee

Dear Chris:
We are pleased to offer you the position of Vice President, Worldwide Sales an officer of the company (16b), reporting to Scott Grout, President and CEO of RadiSys. Your position will be based at our Hillsboro, Oregon Campus.
Your base salary will be $7884, 61 per pay period (equal to $205,000 annually), payable bi-weekly. Your annual incentive compensation plan target will be $115,000 for a targeted “Tcomp” (Total Compensation) of $320,000 annualized. The actual value paid for all incentive compensation plans depends on the achievement of certain corporate, business unit and individual goals and can be lower or higher depending on company and individual performance. You will be eligible to participate in the Corporate-wide semiannual incentive plan on a prorated basis for the period beginning July 1, 2003. You must be an active employee at the end of the 2nd pay period after end of the fiscal half year to be eligible for an incentive compensation plan payout. As we discussed, our incentive compensation plan for executives is a combination of the following:

    Executive-specific plan, which we develop at the beginning of the calendar year or within a short time from hire and which is judged by the CEO and Compensation Committee of our board at year end.
You will also be granted 75,000 stock options under our Stock Option Plan. In addition, you will be eligible for additional annual refresher options after a period of one year. In general, our practice is to grant annual refresher options that are approximately equal to one third of the new-hire grant amount. However, option grants in any given year and circumstance can differ based on individual performance, availability of options shares in the grant pool, and overall compensation. The term of the options is seven years, with shares vesting one-third on the first anniversary and in equal monthly increments thereafter until fully vested on the third anniversary. These options will be contingent upon approval of our Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee. Once approved, the exercise price will be the last-trade price on the date of grant. As much of the options as permitted by law will be granted as ISO options, with the remainder issued as nonqualified options.
You will be eligible for our executive relocation package which includes a relocation bonus of $30,000 net of taxes (paid in lieu of broker fees, taxes and other expenses associated with sale of home), 5 day house hunting trip for two persons, 30 days temporary housing, and reasonable moving expenses for household goods. The move of household goods and storage expenses along with the lump-sum relocation bonus must be repaid in full on a pro-rated basis if you voluntarily terminate employment within 24 months of your date of hire. You may want to consult your own tax advisor for more extensive information regarding tax consequences of a move.
