TREND MICRO INCORPORATED

AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of presentation

The unaudited consolidated interim financial information of Trend Micro Incorporated and its subsidiaries (collectively “the Company”) has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the consolidated interim financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the six-month period. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ended December 31, 2006.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

(1) Significant accounting policies:

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and those of its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated upon consolidation.

Investments in affiliated companies (20 to 50 percent-owned companies) in which the ability to exercise significant influence exists are stated at cost plus the equity in undistributed earnings (losses). Consolidated net income includes the Company’s equity in the current net earnings (losses) of such companies, after elimination of unrealized intercompany profit.

Translation of foreign currencies

All asset and liability accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated into Japanese yen at year-end rates of exchange and all income and expense accounts are translated at rates of exchange that approximate to those prevailing at the time of transactions. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Foreign currency denominated receivables and payables are translated into Japanese yen at the exchange rate of June 30, 2006 and the resulting translation gains or losses are taken into current income. Foreign currency transactions are translated at the approximate rates of exchange prevailing at the transaction dates.

Revenue recognition

The Company’s revenue is derived primarily from product sales, which includes software product license and post-contract customer support services. Other revenue is composed of hardware sales, royalty income and supplementary service income. Royalty is comprised of fees from ‘Application service providers’ and ‘Internet service providers’, and supplementary services are comprised of fees from services based on ‘Premium support program’ and ‘Service level agreement’. Product sales include sales of our products, under limited circumstances, to other companies for inclusion in their products.

The Company licenses its software products under perpetual licensing. The Company sells its products and services via its direct sales force and through domestic and foreign intermediaries.

The Company applies the provisions of SOP 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition”, as amended by SOP 98-9 “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions”, to all transactions involving the sale of software products and hardware transactions where software is not incidental. For hardware transactions where software is not incidental, the Company does not bifurcate the fee and apply separate accounting guidance to the hardware and software elements.

Revenue from the Company’s software product license and hardware where software is not incidental is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable, net of allowances for doubtful accounts and sales returns, is reasonably assured. Post-contract customer support services revenue which includes virus pattern updates, unspecified product version updates, telephone and online technical support, and supplementary services revenue are deferred and recognized ratably over the service period. The Company allocates revenue to post-contract customer support services based on the fair value of the post-contract customer support services, which are determined based on separate sales of renewals to customers. Royalty income is recognized as earned unless collection of the related receivables is not assured in which case, it is recognized upon receipt of cash.

 

12


Table of Contents

For all sales, the Company uses either a binding purchase order or signed license agreement as evidence of an arrangement. Sales through our intermediaries are evidenced by a master agreement governing the relationship together with binding purchase orders on a transaction-by-transaction basis.

At the time of the transaction, the Company assesses whether the fee associated with our revenue transactions is fixed and determinable and whether or not collection is reasonably assured. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed and determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. If a significant portion of a fee is due after our normal payment terms, which are 30 to 90 days from the invoice date, the Company accounts for the fee as not being fixed and determinable. In these cases, the Company recognizes revenue as the fees become due. The Company assesses collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the credit-worthiness of the customer. The Company does not request collateral from our customers. If the Company determines that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, the Company defers the fee and recognizes revenue until the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash.

The Company recognizes revenue from sales to intermediaries when products are delivered to the intermediary. The Company primarily sells retail packages through intermediaries. After sale of a retail package, the Company may approve certain returns from intermediaries or end-users; therefore, the Company makes an estimate of sales returns from intermediaries or end-users based on its historical experience. The provision for estimated returns is recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of sales.

The sales rebates to intermediaries are recognized as a reduction of revenue. Measurement of the sales rebates is based on two types of rebate arrangements. In one arrangement, the amount of the rebate is calculated by multiplying fixed contractual rebate rate by the actual sales amount to intermediaries. In another arrangement, the rebate is paid only if the intermediaries achieve a targeted level of quarterly sales. The rebate rates vary depending on the level of targets and the matrix table of targets and rebate rate is agreed with intermediaries at the beginning of each quarter.

The Company applies the provisions of EITF 01-9 “Accounting for consideration given by a vendor to a customer or a reseller of the vendor’s products” to all transactions where rebates are paid.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash on deposit with banks and all highly liquid investments, with original maturities of three months or less, that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are so near maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates.

Marketable securities and investment securities

Marketable securities and investment securities consist of debt securities, equity securities and mutual funds. Debt securities, equity securities and mutual funds designated as available-for-sale are carried at fair value with unrealized holding gains or losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable taxes. Debt securities designated as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost. The Company classifies “available-for-sale” debt securities with maturities longer than one year as investment securities in investments and other assets. Individual securities classified as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity are reduced to their fair market value for other-than-temporary declines in market value. Realized gains and losses, which are determined on the average-cost method, are reflected in income.

Inventories

Finished products and raw materials are valued at the lower of weighted-average cost or net realizable value. Work in process is stated at accumulated production costs.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized; minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to current income. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed on the declining-balance method for the parent company and on the straight-line method for foreign subsidiaries at rates based on estimated useful lives of the assets according to general class, type of construction and use. Estimated useful lives range mainly from 3 to 6 years for office furniture and equipment, and mainly from 3 to 6 years for other properties.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets, which mainly consist of software development costs and purchased software, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic lives of the products, generally over twelve-month period for software development costs and a five-year period for purchased software for internal use and other intangible assets.

Table of Contents

Goodwill and other intangible assets

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price of the acquired business over the fair value of its net tangible and identifiable intangible assets. Other intangible assets consist primarily of existing technology purchased through business acquisition. We account for goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. SFAS No. 142 requires, among other things, the discontinuance of amortization for goodwill and at least an annual test for impairment. An impairment review may be performed more frequently in the event circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives. Existing technology is amortized over 4 years.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company evaluates long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets to be held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on the sum of expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized, based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

Research and development costs and software development costs

All costs relating to research and development, to establish the technological feasibility of software products, are expensed as incurred. Under the Company’s software development process, technological feasibility is established on completing all substantial testing for the original English language version of the software. Local language versions of software, such as Japanese or Chinese, are produced from the English language version, by adding Japanese language or Chinese language related functions. Production costs for such local language versions of software product masters, incurred subsequent to the availability of original English language version software, are capitalized. Production costs of the local language software product masters, which include direct labor and overhead costs, are amortized to cost of sales using the straight-line method over the current estimated economic lives of the products, generally up to twelve months.

Management considers the Company’s capitalized software development costs to be fully recoverable from future product sales. Management estimates are based upon supporting facts and circumstances, and may be significantly impacted based upon subsequent changes in business conditions.

Advertising costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Stock-based compensation

The Company previously accounted for its stock-based incentive awards in accordance with the intrinsic value method as prescribed by the Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payments”.

As a result of adopting SFAS No.123 (revised 2004), income before income taxes and net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 were lower by (Yen)2,478,850 thousand ($21,555 thousand) and (Yen)2,184,349 thousand ($18,994 thousand), respectively, than the respective amounts that would have been reported had the Company continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB No.25. The impact on both basic and diluted earnings per share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 were a decrease of earnings per share by (Yen)16.26 ($0.14) and (Yen)16.19 ($0.14), respectively.

Had compensation cost for the stock purchase warrants and the stock acquisition rights been determined based on the grant-date fair value, as prescribed by SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), the Company’s pro forma net income and net income per share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 would have been as follows:

Income taxes

The provision for income taxes is computed based on the pretax income included in the consolidated statement of income. The asset and liability approach is used to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred assets (including deferred tax assets and liabilities on net unrealized gain or loss on available-for-sale securities) of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.

Net income per share

Basic net income per share is computed based on the average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share assumes the dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, or resulted in the issuance of common stock. Net income per share is appropriately adjusted for any stock splits or free distributions of common stock.

Comprehensive income

Other comprehensive income refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under U.S. GAAP are included in comprehensive income but are excluded from net income as these amounts are recorded directly as adjustments to shareholders’ equity. The Company’s other comprehensive income primarily comprises unrealized gain or loss on available-for-sale securities and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Market and credit risks

The anti-virus software market is characterized by rapid technological changes and evolving industry standards in computer hardware and software technologies. In addition, the markets for the Company’s products are highly competitive and are rapidly changing. The Company could incur substantial operating losses if it is unable to offer products, which address technological and market place changes in the anti-virus software industry.

Table of Contents

Other financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. The Company invests primarily in time deposits, money market funds and marketable securities, and places its investments with high rating financial institutions. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and maintains an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, if any, based upon the expected collectibility of accounts receivable.

(2) Recent accounting pronouncements:

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 155 “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments”. According to this new Statement, entities may elect to measure at fair value entire financial instruments containing embedded derivatives that would otherwise have to be accounted for separately. This Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued, or subject to a remeasurement event after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The standard will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No.156 “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets”. This Statements amends SFAS No.140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract. In addition, it requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value and permits an entity to choose either of the amortization method or fair value measurement method for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement is effective for fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. The standard will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In April 2006, FASB Staff Position No. FIN 46(R)-6 “Determining the Variability to Be Considered In Applying FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” was issued. The guidance in this Staff Position affects accounting for potential VIEs (Variable Interest Entities), including identifying which entities are VIEs, which interests are variable interests, and which party is a VIE’s primary beneficiary. This Staff Position’s requirements are to be applied prospectively to all entities that the reporting enterprise first becomes involved with beginning the first day of the first reporting period that begins after June 15, 2006. The Staff Position will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In June 2006, FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No.48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No.109”. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is evaluating the effect of FIN No.48 application on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Pursuant to the Company’s incentive plans, the parent company issued unsecured bonds with detachable stock purchase warrants and bought all of the warrants back at the same time for the purpose of distributing such instruments to the directors and certain employees of the parent company and its subsidiaries as a part of their remuneration.

The Japanese Commercial Code restricted redemptions and extinguishments of these bonds when the amount of outstanding bonds is less than the aggregate amount of exercise price of the outstanding stock purchase warrants. Therefore, in order to reduce interest costs, the parent company repurchased the bonds through the market with an intention to hold the treasury bonds until they can be extinguished legally. However, as such repurchase transaction was deemed as redemption of the bonds in substance, the treasury bonds were offset against the outstanding bonds on the face of consolidated balance sheets. There was no repurchase transaction for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, for the year ended December 31, 2005 and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006. The entire (Yen)4,000,000 thousand of the bonds was redeemed during the six-month period ended June 30, 2006.

These option awards generally vest based on 1 to 4 years of continuous service and have a total of 5-year contractual terms. Since the share awards vest on a graded vesting basis over the certain service periods, the Company recognizes the compensation cost with a straight-line method over the required service periods.

The fair values of the stock options with stock acquisition rights were estimated on the grant dates using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions used for the grants during the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, for the year ended December 31, 2005 and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006.

However the Company excludes the period before its stock was adopted as part of Nikkei225 from the measurement terms. The expected terms of options granted are analyzed and determined based on its past experiences of the exercise behaviors, and risk-free rates are based on the rate for 5 remaining years of 10-year government bonds. Expected dividend yield rates are based on the estimated dividend amounts that have been disclosed to the public.
