EXPLANATORY NOTE


Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this “Amendment”) to its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 29, 2014, which was originally filed on May 6, 2014 (the “Original Filing”), to amend Part I, Item 4 of the Original Filing. This Amendment revises our conclusions regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures solely as a result of (i) our failure to file management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2013, which was originally filed on February 19, 2014 and (ii) our failure to include the language of paragraph 4(b) required by Item 601(b)(31) of Regulation S-K in the certifications filed with the Original Filing. This Amendment also amends Part II, Item 6 for the  purpose of amending and restating the Exhibit 31.1 and 31.2, Certifications of the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer to add the language of paragraph 4 (b) in accordance with Item 601(b)(31).


Except with respect to the above changes, this Amendment does not modify or update any other disclosures set forth in the Original Filing.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 29, 2014 . The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 29, 2014 , our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level for the reasons specified in the Explanatory Note to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A .


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 29, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


Limitations on the effectiveness of controls


Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected, and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
