What is the main purpose of this 8-K/A filing?

This filing serves as an amendment to NVIDIA's original 8-K report to include the necessary financial statements and exhibits related to its acquisition of certain graphic assets from 3dfx Interactive, Inc. It provides investors with the financial details required by SEC regulations concerning the acquisition.

What were the terms of the acquisition of 3dfx's assets?

NVIDIA acquired certain graphic assets from 3dfx for a preliminary estimated purchase price of $74.4 million. This included $55 million in cash at closing (with a $15 million loan to 3dfx prior to closing, making the net cash consideration $70 million) and one million shares of NVIDIA common stock, contingent upon 3dfx satisfying certain dissolution conditions. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method.

What information do the pro forma financial statements provide?

The pro forma combined condensed financial statements present a hypothetical view of NVIDIA's financial position and operations as if the acquisition of 3dfx's assets had occurred at the beginning of the reporting periods presented. This includes a combined balance sheet as of January 28, 2001, and a combined statement of operations for the year ended January 28, 2001. They are meant to give investors an idea of the combined entity's financial structure and performance.

How will the acquisition impact NVIDIA's financial statements going forward?

Under the purchase method, the acquisition cost will be allocated to the acquired assets, including goodwill and other intangibles. NVIDIA expects to amortize goodwill and other identifiable intangibles over their estimated useful lives, primarily five years. The pro forma statements reflect these anticipated adjustments, such as amortization expenses, but investors should note that these are based on preliminary valuations and are subject to change. The actual impact on future financial results may differ.
