Firstly, it is important to have a clear picture of the coverage of D&R portal in terms of geographical distribution, user profiler etc... D&R takes a snapshot every 4 months of the set of products, the providers, and the new registered users, and reports on any action occurring on its site during this period. Over several years, D&R has built up an accurate picture of both the current status and trends in the IP/SoC market. The numbers presented in this section are based on the 3 878 new users registered between October 1, 2005 and January 31, 2006. · Geographic Distribution The most active area is the Asian part of the world and represents 42 % of the users of D&R portal. America follows with 29 % and Europe follows with 25 %, slightly above half the number of Asian users. The dominance of Asia has been an ongoing trend for 7 years Oceania Unspecified 1% Africa 1% 2% America Europe 29% 25% Asia 42% Figure 1 : Geographical Distribution · Activity per Application Field The majority of portal users come from the Computer systems sector, with communication systems representing the next largest end user market. Components and automotive are the most active applications fields. This has been a stable trend over the last few years. © Design And Reuse S.A. Page3 3 Bulletin 27 February 2006 Avionics, Government & Computers, Military Systems, Other / Electronics Peripherals Unspecified 4% 28% 21% Components 11% Automotive, Consumer Communication Electronics & Systems Appliances 23% 13% Figure 2 : Application Field · Corporation Size The vast majority of large companies (over $100M revenue), are the IP consumers (system houses, electronic equipment providers, ASIC vendors, military or automotive companies). Some 43% of the site visitors are from these companies. The medium sized companies ($10M to $100M revenues) are mainly large design centres and IP providers. The companies whose revenues are under $10M are mostly IP providers. $10 Million to $99 Million 18% Under $10 Million $100 Million to 39% $499 Million 11% $500 Million to $1 Over $1 Billion Billion 22% 10% Figure 3 : Number of registered users according to the corporation size . · User Profile User profile analysis shows that half of the new D&R users work in the design engineering and R&D fields while 20% are at a senior management level. It is interesting to notice that at the management level the distribution of responsibility is spread varied, covering CEO, sales VP, marketing VP, analyst, procurement etc.. © Design And Reuse S.A.

Page5 5 Bulletin 27 February 2006 Worldwide IP Suppliers The D&R web portal is dedicated to Intellectual Property typically integrated into electronic systems. Which products from which providers are displayed on D&R web site? D&R website’s goal is to display the key components required for designing a System on Chip (SoC) or electronic subsystem, focusing on the Intellectual Property whether it is proprietary or externally acquired from a third party. The types of products displayed include Silicon IPs, Verification IP, Software IP, as well as Design Platform, Prototyping Platforms, and EDA tools especially those aimed at IP based chip design. This report focuses, in priority, on the Silicon IP sector. The providers whose IPs are listed in the D&R catalogs can be segmented into several categories: · Providers of licensable IP whose core business is the licensing of a set of IP blocks often dedicated to a specific market segment. · EDA vendors which sell design tool flows (design and/or qualification) and for which an IP (Silicon IP or verification IP) portfolio (the successor to high level libraries) is mandatory to support these design flows. · Design centers whose core business or mission is to provide design services or turnkey solutions to the market .These services are partially based on certain high value IPs that are licensed “individually” as stand alone blocks. In other words a design center may at a given point decide to license a high value design block, to a broad customer base, thereby triggering a large amount of design activity · Fabless IP providers who may be interested in licensing a design block, not only for direct or immediate income, but also for building an industry standard around this strategic block, and taking a leadership position for its fabless business as the market grows. In this fabless category, FPGA vendors play a very special role as they offer a near-complete solution, providing devices, design tools, and all levels of libraries including IP portfolios. The FPGA vendors have build strong third-party IP partner programs in order to make their offering more attractive · IDM or ASIC vendors which may publicize a technology based design platform by emphasizing their proprietary IP portfolio.
