The stock price did not sustain its peak of 18¾, and by late 1989 it had plummeted to 3¾. In addition, the company posted a loss of $7.7 million in 1989, due primarily to the consolidation of the PC market, and Phoenix's unsuccessful branching out into collateral markets.

In January 1992, Phoenix acquired Quadtel, a leading BIOS supplier.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Quadtel BIOS <a href="/wiki/Code_base" class="mw-redirect" title="Code base">code base</a> was newer than the original Phoenix ROM BIOS code base, and the development effort switched to the Quadtel products. It was rebranded as PhoenixBIOS. The original ROM BIOS code base was used on a joint development effort with David Keenan at IBM (called SurePath), but Phoenix did no further development work on the original code. </p><p>Phoenix also expanded its presence in foreign markets. In 1993 Phoenix acquired SRI KK, a Phoenix distributor, and formed the Phoenix KK Japanese subsidiary. In addition, the offices in Taipei, and Europe were expanded in size. In 1994, Phoenix acquired Guildford, Surrey, UK-based <a href="/wiki/DIP_Research" class="mw-redirect" title="DIP Research">DIP Research</a> Ltd. and continued to expand European operations, who had previously developed the <a href="/wiki/DIP_DOS" class="mw-redirect" title="DIP DOS">DIP DOS</a> operating system for the <i>DIP Pocket PC</i> aka <a href="/wiki/Atari_Portfolio" title="Atari Portfolio">Atari Portfolio</a> in 1989. In 1996, Phoenix acquired Virtual Chips, Inc., a maker of synthesizable cores for PC peripherals, and <a href="/wiki/Mountain_View,_California" title="Mountain View, California">Mountain View, California</a>-based <a href="/wiki/Award_Software" title="Award Software">Award Software</a> in 1998. Due to these expansions, Phoenix reduced its global work force by 5% by ending 38 jobs.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="2001–2003"><span id="2001.E2.80.932003"></span>2001–2003</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Phoenix_Technologies&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: 2001–2003"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Phoenix continued to grow steadily from the late 1990s, and saw a significant increase in revenues from the <a href="/wiki/Year_2000_problem" title="Year 2000 problem">Y2K</a> product refreshes in the PC industry. However, by mid-2001, the PC industry suffered another downturn, and Phoenix was forced to reduce the less profitable product lines, such as the <a href="/wiki/IA-64" title="IA-64">IA-64</a> effort, and close a number of redundant offices. Phoenix again focused on the core BIOS business for the next few years. </p><p>During late 2002 and 2003, Phoenix began to develop specialized firmware-based applications. These applications often had components embedded in the BIOS that allowed them to function in damaged PC systems. These included security applications for password hiding and authentication, PC backup and recovery applications, and basic diagnostic applications. Several applications were obtained through complete acquisitions of other companies, such as the <a href="/wiki/SPEKE" title="SPEKE">SPEKE</a> technology from Integrity Sciences, or the browser technology from Ravisent. </p><p>The PC BIOS business continued its steady, but slow, growth despite a rapidly declining unit price. The Award product line was focused on the low-margin, high volume Desktop product line, while the Phoenix TrustedCore BIOS was primarily successful in the high-end PC systems, and Servers. The revenues from the BIOS business continued to provide the capital to invest further in the applications business. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="2005–2008"><span id="2005.E2.80.932008"></span>2005–2008</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Phoenix_Technologies&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: 2005–2008"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>By late 2005, it became clear that the BIOS revenues could not sustain the losses incurred by the applications business. The BIOS revenue stream was heavily leveraged through fully paid-up licenses, and by early 2006 this business model was no longer sustainable. Phoenix announced some of the largest losses in the company history, and went through another consolidation cycle. Several offices were closed and over 70% of the employees were laid off. By late 2006, after senior management changes, the company refocused on the PC BIOS business and the couple of potentially profitable applications. </p><p>In September, the company named Woodson "Woody" Hobbs as president and CEO of Phoenix Technologies.
