ADI Apogee series update

ADI Technologies Inc ADH
Shares issued 28,658,588 Jul 14 close $0.21
Wed 14 Jul 99 News Release
Mr. Jean Monroe reports
ADI Technologies originally announced in Stockwatch its design delivery
date for production of its long awaited Apogee series chips in May, 1998.
During July of 1998 Cadence Design Systems delivered the release version of
the Apogee D-2 design to IBM for fabrication. Though this event was finally
achieved, it occurred approximately 23 months behind Cadence's original
commitment date.
To the credit of ADI's many advanced proprietary functional features, our
technology has maintained the D-2 chip as a competitive challenger in
today's markets against formidable competitors despite the delay. This
position has been verified, as recently as last week, from interest
expressed by a major potential competitor for licence of ADI's design and
underlying technologies.
Since taking delivery of the D-2 in late October, 1998, ADI with assistance
from IBM engaged in a rigorous testing program designed to verify the
integrity of the design work. The intent of the program was to challenge
the design performance of each enhanced algorithmic development and
function, as well as other international open standard interfaces that were
identified and specified by ADI. Test results demonstrated inconsistent
performance due to internal chip data patterns. Further testing by ADI
identified significant design flaws in two modular sections of the chip.
Although the problems are significant to achieving functional performance,
at this time management believes the deficiencies can be remedied with
modifications.
Under terms of the agreement, Cadence, subject to regulatory approval,
could have acquired up to 10 per cent of the company's shares through the
exercise of warrants priced at $2.98 (Canadian). Cadence failed to meet
certain milestones and did not qualify for the proposed warrants;
therefore, the warrants have no validity.
Due to the chip's functional performance deficiency and repeated delays in
achieving design delivery to IBM, ADI is currently engaged in a dispute
with Cadence. A recent court decision granted ADI's request for a hearing
before a panel of arbitrators and denied Cadence's court action including
their request for a temporary restraining order that would have prohibited
ADI from using the Apogee D-2 chip. ADI, with its counsel, is confident
that the situation will be successfully resolved and are exploring
available avenues, including potential claims against Cadence or
settlement.
ADI investors and shareholders should understand that it might be difficult
to arrive at an expedient resolution. Nonetheless, management is committed
to seeking an appropriate resolution to this dispute that will redress ADI
damages resulting from Cadence's lack of meeting contractual obligations,
including pursuit of our court awarded right to seek resolution through
arbitration.
Additionally, as reported in Stockwatch earlier, ADI reported its intended
acquisition of a Multimedia Interactive Video technology. After
considerable study, we have determined that the technology will not be
suitable for use with MPEG video formats and the company has elected to
abandon the acquisition initiative. ADI will continue its own independent
research for an appropriate real time interactive technology solution that
will utilize MPEG video formats.
