Company Overview
Silicon Image is a leading provider of connectivity solutions that enable the reliable distribution and presentation of high-definition (HD) content for mobile, consumer electronics (CE), and personal computing (PC) markets. We deliver our technology via semiconductor and intellectual property (IP) products that are compliant with global industry standards and feature market leading Silicon Image innovations such as InstaPort™ and InstaPrevue™. Silicon Image's products are deployed by the world's leading electronics manufacturers in devices such as desktop and notebook PCs, digital televisions (DTVs), Blu-ray Disc™ players, audio-video receivers, as well as mobile phones, tablets and digital cameras. Silicon Image has driven the creation of the highly successful High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI®) and Digital Visual Interface (DVI™) industry standards, the latest standard for mobile devices - Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL®), and the leading 60GHz wireless HD video standard - WirelessHD®. Via its wholly-owned subsidiary, Simplay Labs, Silicon Image offers manufacturers comprehensive standards interoperability and compliance testing services.
Silicon Image was founded in 1995. We are a Delaware corporation headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, with regional engineering and sales offices in China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and India. Our Internet website address is www.siliconimage.com.
Our mission is to be the leader in advanced HD connectivity solutions for mobile, CE, and PC markets to enhance the consumer experience. Our "standards plus" business strategy is to grow the available market for our products and IP solutions through the development, introduction and promotion of market leading products which are based on industry standards but also include Silicon Image innovations that our customers value. We believe that our innovation around our core competencies, establishing industry standards and building strategic relationships, positions us to continue to drive change in the emerging world of high quality digital media storage, distribution and presentation.
Our customers are product manufacturers in each of our target markets -mobile, CE, and PC. Because we leverage our technologies across different markets, certain of our products may be incorporated into our customers' products used in multiple markets. We sell our products to original product manufacturers (OEMs) throughout the world using a direct sales force and through a network of distributors and manufacturer's representatives. Our revenue is generated principally by sales of our semiconductor products, with other revenues derived from IP core/design licensing and royalty and adopter fees from our standards licensing activities. We maintain relationships with the eco-system of companies that make the products that drive digital content creation, distribution and consumption, including major Hollywood studios, service providers, consumer electronics companies and retailers. Through these and other relationships, we have formed a strong understanding of the requirements for distributing and presenting HD digital video and audio in the home and mobile environments. We have also developed a substantial IP base for building the standards and products necessary to promote opportunities for our products.
Historically, we have grown our business by introducing and promoting the adoption of new technologies and standards and entering new markets. We collaborated with other companies to jointly develop the DVI and HDMI standards. Our first DVI products addressed the PC market. We then introduced products for a variety of CE market segments, including the set top box (STB), game console and DTV markets. In 2011, we began selling products in the mobile device market using our innovative interconnect core technology. In May 2011, we acquired SiBEAM, Inc., a provider of high-speed wireless communication products for uncompressed HD video in consumer electronics and personal computer applications. With this acquisition, we became a promoter of the WirelessHD standard for transmitting HD content using 60GHz wireless technology. SiBEAM's 60GHz wireless technology enables us to rapidly bring the highest quality of wirelessly transmitted HD video and audio to market.
Concentrations
Historically, a relatively small number of customers and distributors have generated a significant portion of our revenue. For instance, our largest customer generated 38.3% and 34.5% of our revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. In addition, our top five customers, including distributors, generated 68.3% and 65.0% of our revenue for three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and 66.8% and 63.2% of our revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Additionally, the percentage of revenue generated through distributors tends to be significant, since many OEMs rely upon third party manufacturers or distributors to provide purchasing and inventory management services. Revenue generated through distributors was 40.0% and 40.1% of our total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and 46.0% and 53.1% of our total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Our licensing revenue is not generated through distributors, and to the extent licensing revenue increases faster than product revenue, we would expect a decrease in the percentage of our total revenue generated through distributors.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. For a discussion of the critical accounting estimates, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Product Revenue
The increase in product revenue was primarily due to increased demand for our mobile products offset in part by lower CE and PC revenue. The increase in our mobile products for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 when compared to the same periods in 2011 was primarily due to the continued success of our MHL product line. These products were introduced in the latter part of fiscal year 2010. Since then, we have seen increased shipments of these products quarter after quarter. Our MHL products represent the majority of our mobile revenue. The decrease in our CE revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 when compared to the same periods in 2011 was primarily the result of a broad-based market shift to lower-end DTV products that incorporate our semiconductor products less frequently. Our PC revenue continues to decline as we are no longer making any investments in these legacy products.
Licensing Revenue
Our licensing activity is complementary to our product sales and helps us to monetize our intellectual property and accelerate market adoption curves associated with our technology and standards. The increase in licensing revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 when compared to the same periods in 2011 is primarily the result of increased royalty revenues earned, as a result of increased units reported under the various royalty agreements and as a result of the completion of certain royalty audits. Our licensing revenue may fluctuate quarter to quarter as a result of the timing of completion of IP license arrangements or the closure of royalty audits.

Cost of Product Revenue
Cost of product revenue consists primarily of costs incurred to manufacture, assemble and test our products, as well as other overhead costs relating to the aforementioned costs, including stock-based compensation expense. The increase in the total cost of revenue was primarily due to the growth in revenue volume during the same comparative periods.
Product Gross Margin
Our product gross margin increased primarily due to average product cost reductions exceeding average selling price reductions. The decrease in product cost is primarily due to lower wafer, assembly, packaging and testing costs, improved freight and warehouse efficiencies, better absorption of fixed and semi-variable overheads as a result of increased revenue and lower depreciation expense due to fully depreciated testers.
Licensing Gross Margin
Licensing gross margin during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were comparable to the licensing gross margin in the same periods in 2011.

R&D expense consists primarily of employee compensation and benefits, including stock-based compensation, fees for independent contractors, cost of software tools used for designing and testing our products and costs associated with prototype materials. The decrease in R&D expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was insignificant when compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease in R&D expense as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to a 23.8% increase in total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 when compared to the same period in 2011. R&D expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased primarily due to an increase in compensation related expenses as a result of the SiBEAM acquisition in May 2011, expansion in India, annual merit increases and annual bonus accruals of $5.1 million, hiring fees paid to hire 75 engineers in India of $3.0 million, and higher mask-set costs and project related expenses of approximately $4.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in consultant expense of approximately $2.2 million.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded and paid restructuring expense of approximately $73,000 related to the sublease portion of quarterly rent payments on an exited facility. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded and paid restructuring expense of approximately $256,000 related to the sublease portion of quarterly rent payments on an exited facility, offset by the reversal of accrued severance and benefits of $92,000 resulting from a change in estimates of costs incurred for prior restructuring activities. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded severance benefits and exit costs incurred as a result of SiBEAM acquisition, storage business restructuring expenses and the sublease portion of quarterly rent payments on exited facilities.

The interest and other income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased primarily due to lower interest income on cash balances.
Impairment of Investments in an Unconsolidated Affiliate
On July 13, 2011, we purchased a 17.5% equity ownership interest in a U.S. based privately-held company for $7.5 million in cash. From July 13, 2011 through September 30, 2012, we reduced the value of our investment by an aggregate of $2.8 million ($0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012) representing our proportionate share of the privately-held company's net loss during this period. In July 2012, we invested an additional $2.75 million in the form of convertible secured promissory notes.
As of September 30, 2012, we have concluded that these investments are impaired
and that such impairment is other than temporary; however, we will continue to
hold our 17.5% interest in the privately-held company. In reaching this
conclusion, we considered all available evidence, including that (i) the
privately-held company had not achieved forecasted revenue or operating results,
(ii) the privately-held company had limited liquidity or capital resources as of
September 30, 2012, and (iii) the overall progress the privately-held company
has made towards its business objectives, including the acquisition of home
theater wireless speaker customers, has not progressed as previously
expected. As a result of our analysis of these factors, we believe that the
possibility is remote that we will exercise our call option on the investments
or that we will realize any other value from these investments. As a result, we
recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $7.5 million representing the carrying
value of the investments as of September 30, 2012. This impairment charge was
recorded in the line item equity in net loss of and impairment of investments in
an unconsolidated affiliate.
We have no further exposure to loss from our investment in this privately-led company given that the carrying value is zero and we have no obligation to continue to fund losses of the privately-held company.

The difference between the effective tax rate and the income tax determined by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% was due primarily to foreign taxes (including foreign withholding taxes), a provision for charges in lieu of income taxes related to employee stock plans where the windfall benefit is charged to tax expense with the benefit to additional paid-in capital, and state taxes.
The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 were based on our projected taxable income for 2011, plus certain discrete items recorded during the quarter. The difference between the provision for income taxes and the income tax determined by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% was due primarily to foreign taxes (including foreign withholding taxes), a provision for charges in lieu of income taxes related to employee stock plans where the windfall benefit is charged to tax expense with the benefit to additional paid-in capital and state taxes.
