Litigation.
The Company is engaged in litigation involving Elizabeth Bastiaanse Hamren, the Company's
former Vice President of Product Management and Marketing. The Company is both pursuing
1067404 v5'SF
2
EFTA01120890
claims against Hamren, and defending against cross-claims she has asserted against the
Company, as described below.
Aliph v. Hamren —
On June 26, 2009, the Company filed an action against Hamren for misappropriation of the
Company's trade secrets, in the California Superior Court, County of San Francisco, Case No.
CGC-09-489870 (the "Trade Secrets Action"). The Complaint alleges Hamren retained, without
authorization, various types of Company trade secret information, including but not limited to
valuable marketing information, and was in a position to improperly use such information in
connection with her work for Plantronics, Inc., a direct competitor to the Company. The Trade
Secrets Action contains claims for misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of contract, breach
of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, violation of California Penal Code section
502(c), and breach of fiduciary duty. On January IS, 2010, the Company filed a First Amended
Complaint in the Trade Secrets Action, alleging the same claims listed above, and adding new
allegations that Hamren used or disclosed the Company's trade secrets and/or confidential
information in connection with her work for Plantronics as a consultant and subsequently as an
employee.
The First Amended Complaint requests an unspecified amount of damages, a
constructive trust, injunctive relief and attorneys fees. Hamren filed an Answer to the First
Amended Complaint, generally denying the allegations therein and asserting various defenses.
Hamren v. Aliph —
On September 18, 2009, Hamren filed a cross-complaint against the Company in the same
Superior Court action as the Trade Secrets Action, alleging claims arising from her employment
with the Company and termination of employment, which was effective December 31, 2008 (the
"Employment Action"). The Cross-Complaint alleged causes of action for sex discrimination;
hostile work environment sexual harassment; retaliation; breach of contract for failing to pay a
bonus, failing to accelerate unvested stock option shares upon Hamren's employment
termination, and terminating Hamren's employment to prevent her from further vesting in such
option; and wrongful termination in violation of public policy. In response to the Company's
demurrers to the Cross-Complaint and the Court's rulings thereon, Hamren filed a First
Amended Cross-Complaint.
The Court sustained without leave to amend the Company's
demurrer to Hamren's wrongful termination claim in the First Amended Cross-Complaint.
Hamren subsequently filed a Second Amended Cross-Complaint, after the Court had twice
sustained (with leave to amend) the Company's demurrers to Hamren's sex harassment claim.
The Court overruled the Company's demurrer to the sex harassment claim in the Second
Amended Cross-Complaint. The Second Amended Cross-Complaint requests an unspecified
amount of damages, vesting of certain unvested stock option shares, injunctive relief and
attorneys fees. The Company filed an Answer to the Second Amended Cross-Complaint,
generally denying the allegations therein and asserting various defenses.
The parties have engaged in paper discovery in the Trade Secrets and Employment Actions, and
the Company has also issued document subpoenas to third-party Plantronics in the Trade Secrets
Action as well as to three third-party marketing vendors of Plantronics. The parties have taken
five depositions to date. The parties have scheduled a mediation for the Trade Secrets and
Employment Actions for July II, 2011, and discovery in both actions is currently on hold until
1067404 vSiSF
3
EFTA01120891
the mediation occurs. In light of the pending mediation and at the parties' request, the court
continued the trial date to February 6, 2012.
Plant ones v. Aliph (trade secrets claim) —
The Company recently settled a trade secrets claim filed by Plantronics in 2009 (the
"Plantronics Settlement). Plantronics claimed that the Company had misappropriated trade
secrets, including information relating to engineering development and manufacturing processes.
The parties had engaged in substantial paper discovery, but no depositions had yet been taken
and no substantive motions had been filed. The terms of the settlement are confidential.
Plantronics v. Aliph (patent infringement claim) —
In January 2009, Plantronics filed a patent infringement claim against the Company in the
Eastern District of Texas. The single patent at issue claims an ear bud for headset stabilization in
the ear. The case was transferred to the Northern District of California (Plantronics v. Aliph,
Case No. 3:2009-CV-01843). In November 2009, the case was stayed pending reexamination of
the patent. The patent recently issued from reexamination and the case began procedure in
Spring 2011, commencing with claim construction procedure. The parties are engaging in paper
discovery; depositions are expected to commence in July 2011. Claim construction is set for
September 2011. Trial is set for Spring 2012.
WI-LAN, Inc. v. Acer,
In January 2010, Wi-LAN commenced a patent infringement action in the Eastern District of
Texas against a number of defendants, including the company and its chip supplier CSR alleging
infringement of certain patents held by Wi-LAN (Wi-LAN, Inc. v. Acer, Inc., Case No. 10-CV-
00124).
Subsequently Wi-LAN sent correspondence to the Company alleging that the Company's
products infringed on the same patents. The Company filed a declaratory judgment action in the
US District Court for the Northern District of California asserting the invalidity of the patents
held by Wi-LAN (Aliphcom v. Wi-LAN, Inc., Case No. CV-I0-02337). The action filed by the
Company was subsequently transferred to the Eastern District of Texas to be consolidated with
the already pending action. The Company has entered into an indemnification agreement with
Cambridge Silicon Radio ("CSR"), the manufacturer of bluetooth chips in the Company's
products, with respect to this action (the "CSR Indemnification Agreement).
Wi-LAN has entered a settlement agreement with CSR. The settlement agreement terms extend
to protect CSR's customers.
All claims asserted by and against the Company have been
dismissed.
Aliph v. *Talk —
In January 201 I, the Company filed a declaratory judgment action in the Northern District of
California (Aliphcom v. MyTalk, Case No. CIO-04918 EDL) relating to a third party's purported
trademark rights with respect to the "MyTalk" mark. MyTalk answered the complaint in
February 2011 asserting counterclaims including trademark infringement. In March 2011, the
1067404 v561:
4
EFTA01120892
parties mediated this matter but did not reach a settlement. The Company has served written
discovery and document requests on the defendant. No other procedure beyond initial pleading
has yet taken place. Further mediation is anticipated in Fall 2011.
3.7
Title to Properties; Liens and Encumbrances.
The Company has a capital lease with Bank of America Leasing of approximately $220,000 for
its Oracle ERP license entered into in 2008. As of June 2, 2011 the lease payable balance is less
than $21,421.
The Company entered into a loan agreement with Wells Fargo Bank NA on November 29, 2010
(the "Wells Fargo Loan Agreement") for a Standby Letter of Credit. The Standby Letter of
Credit is secured by a money market account held by the Company.
In connection with the Wells Fargo Loan Agreement the Company entered into a Security
Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank NA on November 29. 2010.
There are currently two outstanding California UCC financing statements, filed by Dell Financial
Services L.L.C. and US Bancorp, which have been provided to counsel for the Purchasers.
Pursuant to the DCL Contract Services Agreement, dated as of August 5, 2009 with
DisCopyLabs, Inc. (the "DCL Contract'), DisCopyLabs has a warehouse lien on any and all of
the Company's property that is stored with DisCopyLabs for storage and other charges, costs and
expense relating to such property.
3.8
Financial Statements.
The Financial Statements for 2008 and 2009 are currently being audited by Pricewaterhouse
Coopers and are therefore in draft form and subject to change. The Company's 2010 financial
statements have not been audited and are not entirely GAAP compliant. Final GAAP entries to
the 2010 financials will be completed as part of the audit scheduled for the middle of 2011.
Modifications may be made to the Financial Statements as more data becomes available and
further investigations are made.
Although certain aspects of the Financial Statements are
currently in draft form, to the best knowledge of the Company no future adjustments or
modifications to the Financial Statements will materially adversely affect the financial position
of the Company's business.
