The CAST Approach Business

• Combine experienced management with leading-edge
  organizational tools and practices
• Bootstrap control expenses and grow as a
  function of earnings

• Remain independent from EDA companies and semi
  manufacturers, but develop strong partnerships
  with both

• Develop a global network to tap regional benefits
  and provide a local presence

10
The CAST Approach Products

• Keep a singular focus on practical, affordable,
  IP for mainstream designers
• Develop a broad range to serve as a single-source
  provider
• Integrate best in class IP development from
  across the globe to a common high standard
• Provide superior technical support to end users
• Support Reusability Initiatives and related open
  architectures
• Provide highly competitive, cost-effective cores
  with flexible licensing terms

11
High-Quality, Low-Risk IP
