MILPITAS, Calif., Nov 17, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --
Phoenix Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: PTEC), the leader in PC 3.0(TM) products, services and embedded technologies, today announced an agreement with the Taiwan National Tax Authority (TNTA) to settle a transfer-pricing dispute for the 2000 through 2006 tax years. The agreement will result in a $5.2 million reduction of the taxes previously accrued by the Company in respect of those years.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, the Company submitted a proposal to the Taiwan National Tax Authority for a re-examination of the allocation of expenses under Taiwanese transfer pricing guidelines for the fiscal years 2000 through 2006. The Company has now received final tax assessments from the TNTA in respect of each of these years that are in accordance with the proposal submitted by the Company. The assessments call for total tax and interest payments of approximately $4.0 million, of which approximately $1.9 million had previously been paid by Phoenix. Accordingly, during the current fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2009, the Company intends to make payments to the TNTA totaling $2.1 million in final settlement of its liabilities for taxes and interest for these years.
In accordance with its policies regarding the accounting for uncertain tax positions, the Company had previously recorded tax and interest expenses totaling approximately $9.2 million for the relevant years. As a result of the settlement, the final assessment of $4.0 million, and the intended payment described above, the Company now expects to record a net reduction of tax expense relating to these years of approximately $5.2 million in the current fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2009.
"We are very pleased to have finally settled this long standing transfer pricing dispute with the TNTA and to have settled our tax liability for fiscal years 2000 to 2006," said Richard Arnold, COO and CFO of Phoenix Technologies, Inc. "We continue to work with the TNTA in respect of fiscal years 2007 and 2008 and are hopeful of reaching an acceptable settlement in respect of those additional years over the coming months."

Working with Phoenix, we plan to deliver next-generation mobile devices with innovative and intuitive on-the-go computing solutions that fit the emerging needs and desires of our mobile consumers."

"With HyperSpace, Phoenix is on track to change the way people actually use a PC. Consumers will now be able to use Samsung netbooks throughout the day and have smart connectivity options just like smartphones."
