SFAS No. 123
requires the disclosure of pro forma net income (loss) as if the Company had adopted the fair value method. Under SFAS No. 123, the fair value of stock-based awards to employees is calculated through the use of option pricing models, even
though such models were developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from the Companys stock option awards. These models also require subjective
assumptions, including expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. The Company used the following weighted average assumptions: expected life of four years; risk free interest rate, ranging from 2.83% to 3.26% in fiscal
2004 and 3.96% for the three months ended September 30, 2005; volatility of 0% in fiscal 2004 and 60% for the three months ended September 30, 2005; and no dividend payments during the expected term. The Companys calculations are
based on a single option valuation approach (resulting in equal amortization per period over the option term) and forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

3. NET INCOME PER SHARE



The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Under SFAS No. 128, basic net income
per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period excluding shares subject to repurchase. Diluted net income per common share reflects the effects of
potentially dilutive securities, which consist of convertible preferred stock and common stock options and warrants, common stock subject to repurchase and preferred stock warrants. A reconciliation of shares used in the calculation of basic and
diluted net income per share is as follows:

7. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING
STANDARDS



In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 151, Inventory Cost. SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and
wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require
treatment as current period charges. SFAS No. 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of so abnormal. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires
that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of SFAS No. 151 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The
adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.



In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for
Nonmonetary Transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle.
SFAS No. 153 amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary
exchange has commercial

substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The
provisions of SFAS No. 153 will be effective for nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial
statements.



In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which requires the measurement of all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, using a fair-value-based method and the recording of such expense in our consolidated
statement of operations. The accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123R are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS No. 123 no longer will be an
alternative to financial statement recognition. The Company has not yet quantified the effects of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, but expects that the new standard will result in significant stock-based compensation expense.



The effects of adopting SFAS No. 123R will depend on numerous factors
including, but not limited to, the valuation model chosen to value stock-based awards, the assumed award forfeiture rate, the accounting policies adopted concerning the method of recognizing the fair value of awards over the requisite service period
and the transition method, as described below, chosen for adopting SFAS No. 123R.



SFAS No. 123R will be effective for the quarter beginning January 1, 2006 and requires the use of the modified prospective application method. Under this method, SFAS No. 123R is applied to new awards
and to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after the effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered, such as unvested options, that are outstanding as of the date
of adoption will be recognized as the remaining requisite services are rendered. The compensation cost relating to unvested awards at the date of adoption is based on the grant-date fair value for those awards granted after April 4, 2005, which
was the date of the Companys initial filing of its registration statement on Form S-1, and based on the intrinsic values as previously recorded under Opinion 25 for awards granted prior to that date.



In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and
Error Corrections, a replacement of APB No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle
as well as to changes required by an accounting pronouncement that does not include transition provisions. To enhance comparability, SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods financial statements of changes in
accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. The cumulative effect of the change is reported in the carrying value of assets and liabilities as of the first
period presented, with the offset applied to opening retained earnings. Each period presented is adjusted to show the period-specific effects of the change. Only direct effects of the change will be retrospectively recognized; indirect effects will
be recognized in the period of change. SFAS No. 154 carries forward without change APB No. 20s guidance for reporting the correction of an error and a change in accounting estimate as well as SFAS No. 3s provisions
governing reporting accounting changes in interim financial statements. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 is
not expected to have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.



8. INCOME TAXES



We
account for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, we determine our deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon the difference between the financial statement and tax bases
of our assets and liabilities using tax rates in effect for the year in which we expect the differences to affect taxable income. We expect our effective tax rate for 2005 to be substantially higher than the statutory federal rate for two primary
reasons. We incur significant stock-based compensation that, while reflected in our financial statements, is not deductible for federal income tax purposes, unless a future disqualifying disposition by the shareholder occurs. In
connection with the implementation of our international structure, we will incur intercompany royalty income and cost-sharing payments from transfers of intellectual property in 2005 and succeeding years that will be taxed at substantially higher
rates than the corresponding tax benefit arising from the deduction in the foreign jurisdictions.



The percentage tax rate reflected in our results of operations is based on an estimate of net income for the fiscal year 2005 that we make at the end of
each quarter. At March 31, 2005, we estimated our 2005 effective tax rate based on our internal estimate of net income for 2005. At June 30, 2005, we reduced our estimate of net income for 2005. This required an increase in our percentage
tax rate because the stock-based compensation and taxes associated with



10



---

##### Table of Contents

implementation of our international structure would now be applied to decreased net income. Under applicable accounting
principles, prior quarters are not revised and the cumulative change in the estimated effective tax rate is recorded in the quarter of change so that the year-to-date effective tax rate at the end of the current quarter is equal to the new estimated
effective tax rate for the year. For these reasons, when we decreased our estimate for 2005 income at June 30, 2005, we not only revised our expected effective tax rate to be 81% for 2005 but reflected a tax rate of 345% for the three months
ended June 30, 2005 in order to achieve the 81% effective tax rate for the entire first six months of 2005. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 was also 81%. Future changes in our estimates could
similarly affect our effective tax rate for the year-to-date results of operations.



9. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS



We are currently
involved in a lawsuit initiated by Siliconix incorporated in which Siliconix has alleged that certain of our TrenchDMOS products infringe three patents held by Siliconix. This lawsuit is currently stayed pending the outcome of a reexamination by the
United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) of some of the underlying Siliconix patents asserted against us. On October 18, 2005, two separate lawsuits filed by Siliconix against Denso Corporation and Matshusta Electrical Industrial Co.
Ltd. were held by the United States District Court for the Northern District of California to be related and all three lawsuits were assigned to the same judge. The court has scheduled a further case management conference in December 2005 to discuss
the manner in which this development will impact the current status of the lawsuit against us pending the proceedings before the USPTO.

Overview



We are a supplier of power management semiconductors for mobile consumer electronic devices, such as wireless handsets, notebook computers, smartphones,
digital cameras and digital audio players. Our products perform functions such as lighting electronic displays, converting or controlling voltages or current within systems and managing power consumption and battery life. Our products are also used
in applications outside of our targeted markets, including point-of-sale terminals, computer peripherals, wireless and cable modems, flat-panel displays, TVs, monitors, set top boxes and other home entertainment devices.

##### Table of Contents

We were incorporated in 1997 and commenced operations in 1998. From 1998 to 2000, we were primarily
involved in developing our technology, recruiting personnel and raising capital. Since 2001, we have focused on delivering products for what we believe to be large and high-growth market opportunities. However, we operate in the semiconductor
industry, which is cyclical and has experienced significant fluctuations, and our revenues are impacted by these broad industry trends. We operate as a fabless semiconductor company, working with third parties to manufacture and assemble our
integrated circuits, or ICs, rather than manufacturing them ourselves. This business model has enabled us to reduce our capital expenditures and fixed costs, while focusing our engineering and design resources on our core strengths. We believe this
model also reduces the impact on our business of seasonality, cyclicality and fluctuations in demand.



We have developed and introduced over 400 new products since 2000. We currently derive a majority of our revenues from sales of our ChargePump product
family, which is primarily used for driving white LED backlighting of color displays. In the future, we expect to derive an increasing percentage of our revenues from other product families, such as switching regulator ICs, lithium-ion battery
charger ICs and power system-on-chip integrated multifunction power products, or Power SOCs.



We are often required to anticipate what product designs will garner widespread customer demand, and we undertake significant product development efforts well in advance of a products release, usually in advance
of any of our customers expressly indicating demand for the product. Our product development efforts typically take from six months to two years until a production release, depending on the products complexity. We also develop new process
technologies, such as our proprietary ModularBCD process, that we believe will be critical in our development and production of certain new product families. Process technology development is subject to similar timing risks, which can in turn delay
development of new product families that rely on these new processes.



As a result of the length of our development and sales cycle, our revenues for any period generally are weighted toward products introduced for sale in the prior one to two years. For example, in 2004, we generated a majority of our
revenues from products introduced in 2003 and 2002. Accordingly, we expect that the majority of our revenues in the second half of 2006 and 2007 may be dependent on products that we have only recently developed or that we may not yet have developed
or introduced. In this regard, our present revenues are not necessarily representative of future sales because our future sales are likely to be comprised of a different mix of products.



We sell our products through our direct sales and applications support organization to original equipment manufacturers, or
OEMs, original design manufacturers, or ODMs, and contract electronics manufacturers, as well as through arrangements with distributors that fulfill third-party orders for our products. Many of our current distributors also serve as our sales
representatives procuring orders for us to fill directly. We receive a substantial portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. We received an aggregate of approximately 81% of our revenues from our ten largest customers in each of the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 and for the year ended December 31, 2004. Our largest direct customer is LG Electronics Inc., or LG, which accounted for 39% and 43% of our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and
fiscal 2004, respectively.



It is difficult for us to forecast
the demand for our products, in part because of the highly complex supply chain between us and the consumer end users of the mobile consumer electronic devices that incorporate our products. We believe that our customers buying patterns are
more predictable over a six-month period versus a three-month period, as a result, our forecasting of quarterly results are more difficult than our half-year outlook. Additionally, our design wins are usually based on a half-yearly cycle, especially
for the handset market. Consumer demand for new features changes rapidly. Parties such as wireless service providers directly respond to and influence these consumer preferences through device selection and orders to the OEMs for these devices.
Distributors, ODMs and contract electronics manufacturers often add an additional layer of complexity between us and consumer end users. As a result, we must forecast demand not only from our customers, but also from other participants in this
multi-level distribution channel. Our failure to accurately forecast demand can lead to product shortages that can impede production by our customers and harm our relationship with these customers. Conversely, our failure to forecast declining
demand or shifts in product mix can result in excess or obsolete inventory. For example, in 2004, we recorded an inventory write-down of $1.9 million because our forecast of demand in early 2004 proved to be optimistic and a significant portion of
these newly manufactured products ended up with no forecasted demand in the second half of 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded inventory write-downs of $2.4 million. In addition, if we do not incorporate the
partially fabricated wafers held for us by our suppliers into our products in a timely fashion, we may still become obligated to purchase these materials, which may reduce our gross margins.

##### Table of Contents

In the future, we expect our sales to LG and our other large customers to continue to be susceptible to
quarterly fluctuation as our customers manage their inventories for seasonal variations and other reasons. For example, in the fourth quarter of 2004, we experienced a 33% sequential quarterly decline in revenues from LG as a result of LGs
prior increase in inventory of our products in the third quarter in anticipation of the peak fourth-quarter buying season for the mobile consumer electronic devices in which our products are used.



Our largest customer, LG, began restructuring its supply chain in the three
months ended March 31, 2005. As part of this restructuring, LG required its suppliers to place inventory at a central supply hub, which is managed by a third party that supplies all of LGs divisions. This consolidation will reduce our
ability to forecast orders from LG because we will no longer be receiving orders directly from the LG divisions using our products. The inventory in LGs hub remains the suppliers property until LG pulls the inventory from the hub. Prior
to LGs initiation of the hub structure, the products that we shipped to LG became LGs property and we recognized revenue with respect to those products immediately upon our shipment to LG. Under the LG hub structure, we do not recognize
revenue with respect to products that we ship to LGs hub until we receive a report from LG that it has pulled those products from the hub. As our products in LGs hub will remain our inventory until LG pulls them from the hub, we have
increased inventory risk as a result of the LG hub structure.



We began shipping products to LGs hub in late May 2005. At the outset of the transition to the LG hub structure, we believe that LG used units of products that we had previously delivered to LG under our former procedures instead of
pulling units of those products from the hub. As a result, although we have shipped products to LGs hub and LG has begun to pull a limited number of units of certain of our products from the hub, we believe that LGs use of units of our
products that we had previously delivered to LG under our former procedures instead of pulling units of those products from the hub resulted in our revenues attributable to LG being lower in the three months ended June 30, 2005 than they would
have been had LG not initiated the hub structure. We believe that the majority of these inventories were depleted during the second quarter. As such our revenues attributable to LG for the three months ended September 30, 2005, increased as
compared to the prior quarter due to increased products pulled from the hub, by LG.



We derive substantially all of our revenues from sales to foreign customers, particularly in Asia. In the nine months ended September 30, 2005, approximately 96% of our revenues were from sales in Asia, including
approximately 63% in South Korea, 19% in Taiwan, 11% in China and 3% in Japan. In the nine months ended September 30, 2004, approximately 94% of our revenues were from sales in Asia, including approximately 61% in South Korea, 15% in Taiwan,
17% in China and 1% in Japan. We believe that a substantial majority of our revenues will continue to come from customers located in Asia, where most of the mobile consumer electronic devices that use our ICs are manufactured. As a result of this
regional customer concentration, we have been and expect to continue to be particularly subject to economic and political events, health crises and other developments that impact our customers in Asia. For example, our sales in late 2004 were harmed
by the Chinese government reducing the availability of credit to domestic businesses. China, in particular, is an emerging market where forecasting by our distributors is not accurate, and there can be rapid changes in the distribution system and
market conditions. In order to limit our exposure to bad debt and late payment from distributors, we constrained sales to these customers by declining to fulfill orders, which reduced our revenues for this period. We continue to closely monitor
payments owed to us by our customers who may continue to be affected by this reduced availability of credit in China. In addition, we believe that our second quarter 2003 results of operations were significantly harmed by the Severe Acute
Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, epidemic experienced in Asia during that time, which reduced demand for our products by our customers in Asia. All of our sales and substantially all of our cost of revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars. In
addition, a majority of our operating expenses are incurred either in the United States or in countries with currencies that are tied to the U.S. dollar, such as China and Hong Kong. Accordingly, we believe that our overall exposure to foreign
exchange risk is low.



In general, the average selling price,
or ASP, of any specific product for a specific application will decline over time. However, the ASP decline is application-specific and may be mitigated by replacement with related products in the same product family and new applications utilizing
essentially the same product with higher margins. For example, we developed a low-dropout linear regulator for use in a particular wireless handset, which



14



---

##### Table of Contents

experienced a decline in ASP as that type of device became a commodity in wireless handsets. However, we were able to use
the same base circuit architecture to design other products in the same family for newer wireless handsets and other applications that could be sold at higher margins. We expect that our revenues will normally be characterized by seasonally lower
sequential sales during the first quarter of a calendar year, and potentially late in the fourth quarter, because of the peak fourth quarter consumer buying season for the devices in which our products are used.



For the three months ended September 30, 2005 our sequential quarterly
revenues increased, on increased sales volume from LG, our largest customer, and overall broad-based sales growth. Our margins improved over the prior quarter, when we had low yields from pre-production parts which ramped up higher than expected
during the three months ended September 30, 2005 and we were also impacted by favorable product mix. Our operating expenses increased due to unusual items including bad debt, higher non-recurring engineering expenses, higher compensation
related expenses and expenses associated with being a public company. We expect that our headcount will continue to increase for the remainder of fiscal 2005. Lastly, our effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2005
was at 81%.

Our revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 as
compared to 2004 increased, due to increased sales of our ASPM and TPM IC products. The increase in revenues was almost entirely produced by an increase in unit volume sales for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 as
compared to 2004. Our average selling prices decreased for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to 2004. The increase in TPM IC revenues was primarily driven by increased sales of our ChargePump products for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to 2004. The increase in ASPM revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to 2004 was primarily attributable to increased sales of our SmartSwitch
products. Our sales were also affected by our largest customer, LG, which began restructuring its supply chain during the first quarter of 2005 and required its suppliers to place inventory at a central supply hub. Revenue is not recognized until LG
pulls the product from the hub. We began shipping products to LGs hub in late May 2005 and as a result, although we have shipped products to LGs hub and LG has begun to pull a limited number of units of certain of our products from the
hub, we believe that LGs use of units of our products that we had previously delivered to LG and recognized as revenue under our former procedures instead of pulling units of those products from the hub resulted in our revenues attributable to
LG being lower in the three months ended June 30, 2005 than they would have been had LG not initiated the hub structure. We believe that the majority of these inventories have been depleted during the second quarter. During the third quarter of
2005 LG increased inventory pulls from the Hub.



Aggregate
sales to LG decreased by 11% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. Aggregate sales to LG increased by 11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004.
LG accounted for approximately 42% and 39% of our revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to 55% and 44% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004. Aggregate revenues for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2005 from customers other than LG grew by 49% and 37%, respectively, as compared to 2004.

Research and
development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to 2004, increased due to increased engineering headcount, which accounted for increased payroll expenses of $0.5 million. Additionally we had increased facilities
and other occupancy expenses of $0.3 million, increased depreciation expense of $0.1 million and increased non-recurring engineering expenses of $0.2 million. These higher expenses were incurred as we increased expenditures related to accelerated
development activities for new products, particularly for switching regulators. Our stock-based compensation expense associated with research and development personnel increased by $0.1 million due to an increased number of stock options granted to
employees.



Research and development expenses for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to 2004, also increased due to increased engineering headcount. The headcount increase accounted for increased payroll expenses of $2.0 million and increased facilities and other occupancy expenses of
$0.8 million. We also incurred approximately $0.3 million for non-recurring engineering and other lab expenses. Depreciation expense for the nine month period was also higher by approximately $0.3 million. The increased expenditures were related to
our accelerated development activities for new products, particularly for switching regulators. Our stock-based compensation expense associated with research and development personnel increased by $0.4 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2004 due to an increased number of stock options granted to employees.

##### Table of Contents

Sales, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared
to 2004, increased due to increased headcount to support our growing revenue base, which accounted for increased payroll expenses of $0.6 million. We also had increases in bad debt expense for the quarter of $0.3 million, which was primarily due to
one of our Chinese distributors. Our public company expenses increased by approximately $0.3 million, which was primarily from D&O insurance and other consulting costs. Our commissions paid to our outside sales representatives also increased by
approximately $0.2 million, which was due to increased sales. We experienced an increase in our overall travel expenditures of approximately $0.2 million, which was due to increased sales related activities. Our stock-based compensation expense
associated with sales, general and administrative personnel increased by 0.1 million due to an increased number of stock options granted to employees.



Sales, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004, increased due to
increased headcount to support our growing revenue base, which accounted for increased payroll expenses of $1.6 million. Our stock-based compensation expense associated with sales general and administrative expenses personnel increased by
$0.8 million due to an increased number of stock options granted to employees and consultants. Our public company expenses increased by approximately $0.7 million, which was primarily from D&O insurance and other consulting costs. Due to an
increase in revenues, our commissions paid to our outside sales representatives also increased by approximately $0.5 million. Additionally, we experienced an increase in our overall travel expenditures of approximately $0.5 million. Facilities and
other occupancy costs contributed approximately $0.4 million to the increase. Bad debt expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased by $0.3 million and depreciation expense was higher by $0.2 million as compared to the
same period in 2004.



Interest and Other Income, Net



Interest and other income, net was $0.7 million and $0.9 million in the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, and $39,000 and $83,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in interest and other income was primarily attributable to higher interest income earned on higher
cash balances.



Provision for Income Taxes



Our income tax provision was $1.0 million and $1.5 million for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2005, and $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004. We expect our effective tax rate for 2005 to be substantially higher than the statutory federal rate for two
primary reasons. We incur significant stock-based compensation that, while reflected in our financial statements, is not deductible for federal income tax purposes, unless a future disqualifying disposition by the shareholder occurs. In
connection with the implementation of our international structure, we will incur intercompany royalty income and cost-sharing payments from transfers of intellectual property in 2005 and succeeding years that will be taxed at substantially higher
rates than the corresponding tax benefit arising from the deduction in the foreign jurisdictions. Both of these factors are in significant measure independent of our consolidated results of operations. We expect to continue to incur nondeductible
stock-based compensation expense and intercompany income associated with our international structure in 2006 but nevertheless expect our effective tax rate to be significantly reduced in 2006 after we complete the implementation of our international
structure.



The percentage tax rate reflected in our results of
operations is based on an estimate of net income for the fiscal year 2005 that we make at the end of each quarter. For example, at March 31, 2005, we estimated our effective tax rate based on our internal estimate of net income for 2005.
However, when we reduced our estimate of net income for 2005 as of June 30, 2005, this required an increase in our percentage tax rate because the stock-based compensation and taxes associated with implementation of our international structure
would now be applied to decreased net income. Under applicable accounting principles, prior quarters are not revised and the cumulative change in the estimated effective tax rate is recorded in the quarter of change so that the year-to-date
effective tax rate at the end of the current quarter is equal to the new estimated effective tax rate for the year. For these reasons, when we decreased our estimate for 2005 income at June 30, 2005, we not only revised our expected effective
tax rate to be 81% for 2005 but reflected a tax rate of 345% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 in order to achieve the 81% effective tax rate for the entire first six months of 2005. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2005 was also 81%. Future changes in our estimates could similarly affect our effective tax rate for the year-to-date results of operations.

Our cash and cash
equivalents were $117.2 million as of September 30, 2005 and $21.7 million as of December 31, 2004.



Net Cash Used in Operating Activities



Operating cash usage for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 primarily consisted of increases in accounts receivable of $8.9 million and other current assets of $1.1 million, which were offset in part by a
decrease in inventory of $0.5 million and increases in accruals and payables totaling $4.2 million. In addition, we had an aggregate of $1.8 million of stock-based compensation expense, $1.2 million of depreciation and amortization expense and $0.3
million in bad debt expense. Our accounts receivable balance increased due to timing of late quarter sales. Increases in our current assets are primarily attributable to increased prepaid insurance, which are amortized over the service period. The
reduction in inventory was primarily due to increased shipments at the end of the quarter. Our accrual and accounts payable have increased as a result of our increased overall business volume during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Our
stock-based compensation expenses have risen as a result of increased number of options granted to employees and consultants. Depreciation and amortization expenses have also risen and we expect that this will continue to rise as we invest in
research and development and infrastructure.



Operating cash
usage for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 primarily consisted of increases in accounts receivable of $3.8 million, increases in inventory of $2.7 million, increases in other current assets $0.4 million and increases in other
non-current assets of $0.1 million, which were offset in part by increases in accruals and payables of $1.8 million. In addition, we had an aggregate of $0.7 million of depreciation and amortization expense. Increases in inventory and accounts
receivable were primarily due to increased sales during the period. Our increases in accruals and payables were also due to our increased overall business volume during the nine months ended September 30, 2004.



Net Cash Used in Investing Activities



Net cash used in our investing activities was $1.0 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 2005 and $1.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The reduction in cash usage was in part due to our reduced need to purchase engineering and computer equipment and software to support our
internal infrastructure growth in fiscal 2005.



Net Cash Provided by
Financing Activities



Net cash provided by our financing
activities was $97.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $2.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Net cash provided by our financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 primarily
consisted of $96.7 million of net proceeds from the initial public offering, which closed on August 15, 2005, $0.3 million of proceeds from exercises of common stock options and warrants, offset by $26,000 for payments of our capital lease
obligations. Net cash provided by our financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 primarily consisted of proceeds of $2.0 million from the issuance of Series E preferred stock and $0.6 million from exercises of common stock
options and warrants, offset by $81,000 for payments of our capital lease obligations.

Liquidity



We entered into a loan and security agreement in July 2004 with our primary bank in the United States with a commitment amount of $3.0 million. The annual
interest rate on amounts borrowed under this line of credit is the greater of either 4.5% or 0.5% over the banks prime rate. To date, we have not borrowed any amounts under this loan and security agreement. In July 2005, we amended and
restated this loan and security agreement to take effect upon the closing of our initial public offering of common stock in August 2005. Under the terms of the amended and restated agreement, we now have access to a revolving line of credit of $20.0
million if our net cash, or the sum of our cash and cash equivalents less our indebtedness, is at least $40.0 million. This revolving line of credit will be reduced to $15.0 million if our net cash is between $30.0 million and $40.0 million. Under
the terms of the amended and restated agreement, we must maintain net cash of at least $30.0 million. The annual interest rate on amounts borrowed under this line of credit will be the greater of either 5.75% or 0.25% over the banks prime
rate. This line of credit will terminate in August 2006. In connection with both the original loan and security agreement and the amended and restated agreement, we provided the bank with a first priority security interest in substantially all of
our assets, excluding intellectual property.



We believe our
existing cash balances, as well as cash expected to be generated from operating activities and the availability of funds from our bank credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months.



Our long-term future capital requirements will depend on many
factors, including our level of revenues, the timing and extent of spending to support our product development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing of our introductions of new products, the costs to ensure access to
adequate manufacturing capacity, the continuing market acceptance of our products and the amount and intensity of our litigation activity. We could be required, or could elect, to seek additional funding through public or private equity or debt
financing and additional funds may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all.



Off Balance Sheet Arrangements



We have not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities whereby we have financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments or other contingent arrangements that expose us to material continuing
risks, contingent liabilities, or any other obligation under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to the Company.

Critical Accounting Policies



Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition
and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates
and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis, including those related to uncollectible
accounts receivable, inventories, income taxes, warranty obligations and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making the judgments we make about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Because these estimates can vary depending on the situation, actual results may
differ from the estimates.

##### Table of Contents

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments used in the
preparation of our consolidated financial statements.



Revenue Recognition



We recognize revenues in
accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition(SAB 104). SAB 104 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenues can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
(2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) is based on managements judgment
regarding the determinability of the fees charged for products delivered and the collectibility of those fees. If changes in conditions cause management to determine these criteria are not met for certain future transactions, revenues recognized for
any reporting period could decline.



A large portion of our
sales is made through distribution arrangements with third parties. These arrangements include stock rotation rights that generally permit the return of up to 5% and, in the case of one customer, 8%, of the previous nine months purchases, and
on one occasion we accepted returns in excess of these amounts. We do not intend to make such exceptions in the future. We record estimated returns at the time of shipment. Our normal payment term with our distributors is 30 days from invoice date.
Our arrangements with our distributors typically include price protection provisions if we reduce our list prices. We record reserves for price protection at the time we decide to reduce our list prices. We have not experienced any significant
claims pursuant to these provisions. The credits we have issued for price protection provisions were $24,000 and $33,000 for nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. During the third quarter of fiscal 2005, we amended a
limited number of our distributor arrangements to include the possibility of certain sales price rebates on specified products. Given the uncertainties and limited historical data associated with the sales price rebates that could be issued to these
distributors, we have deferred approximately $0.4 million of revenues from those products until these products are sold by the distributors to their end customers.



We make estimates of potential future returns and sales allowances related to current period product revenue. We
analyze historical return rates and changes in customer demand when evaluating the adequacy of returns and sales allowances. Estimates made by us may differ from actual returns and sales allowances. These differences may materially impact
reported revenue and amounts ultimately collected on accounts receivable.



Bad Debt Allowances



We
monitor the collectibility of accounts receivable primarily through review of the accounts receivable aging. When facts and circumstances indicate the collection of specific amounts or from specific customers is at risk, we assess the impact on
amounts recorded for bad debts and, if necessary, will record a charge in the period such determination is made. In addition, we reserve a percentage of our accounts receivable to various customers that are significantly aged. To date, we have
not experienced significant write-offs of accounts receivable due to uncollectibility.



Warranty



We provide a
12-month warranty against defects in materials and workmanship and will either repair the goods, provide replacement products at no charge to the customer or refund amounts to the customer for defective products. We record estimated warranty costs,
based on historical experience over the preceding 12 months by product, at the time we recognize product revenues. As the complexity of our products increases, we could experience higher warranty claims relative to sales than we have previously
experienced, and we may need to increase these estimated warranty reserves.



Inventory Valuation



We
value our inventory at the lower of the actual cost of our inventory or its current estimated market value. We write down inventory for obsolescence or unmarketable inventories based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.
Because of the cyclicality of the market in which we operate, inventory levels, obsolescence of technology and product life cycles, we generally write down inventory for product that is over 12 months old. Additionally, we generally write down
excess inventory to net realizable value based on six months forecasted product demand. Actual demand and market conditions may be lower than those that we project and this difference could have a material adverse effect on our gross margins should
inventory write-downs beyond those initially recorded become necessary. Alternatively, should actual demand and market conditions be more favorable than those we estimated at the time of such a write-down, our gross margins could be favorably
impacted in future periods.

Stock-Based Compensation



We account for stock-based compensation awards issued to our employees using the intrinsic value measurement provisions of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, or Opinion 25. Accordingly, we have recorded compensation expense for stock options granted with exercise prices less than the fair value of the
underlying common stock at the option grant date. The fair value of our common stock prior to December 31, 2004 was originally estimated by our board of directors with input from management. We did not obtain contemporaneous valuations by an
unrelated valuation specialist because, at the time of the issuances of the stock options, we believed our estimates of the fair value of our common stock to be reasonable. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2004, we reassessed the valuations of our common stock for options granted from January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004. We based this reassessment upon the results of a valuation of our company as of
December 31, 2004 using generally accepted valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow method, the guideline company method and the similar transactions method. Although all methodologies were considered, we placed primary emphasis
upon the discounted cash flow method and secondary emphasis on the guideline company method. The similar transaction method was considered, but not used as there were a limited number of representative transactions that were available from which to
derive an indication of value range. Ultimately, the similar transaction method was used as a reasonableness check. The reassessment in 2004 resulted in our recording deferred stock-based compensation of $7.7 million. In connection with the
preparation of our financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2005, we reassessed the valuations of our common stock for options granted from January 1, 2005 through March 31, 2005. The reassessment during the first
quarter of 2005 resulted in our recording an additional $0.7 million of deferred stock-based compensation. For the period from January 1, 2005 through March 31, 2005, we did not obtain contemporaneous valuations by an unrelated valuation
specialist because, at the time of the issuances of the stock options, we believed our estimates of the fair value of our common stock to be reasonable. We believe that our future earnings will be a primary determinant of our future public
valuation, and we have considered a range of price-to-earnings ratios of other comparable public companies to determine a potential value range for our common stock. Determining the fair value of our common stock requires us to make complex and
subjective judgments involving estimates of revenues, earnings, assumed market growth rates and estimated costs as well as appropriate discount rates. These estimates are consistent with the plans and estimates that we use to manage our business.
There is inherent uncertainty in making these estimates. In addition, we have lower revenues and a shorter track record of profitability than most of the public companies we considered as comparables in our reassessment of common stock valuations
for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Although it was reasonable to expect that the completion of our planned initial public offering would add value to the shares because they would have increased liquidity and marketability, the amount
of additional value could not be measured with any precision or certainty at that time.



Deferred stock-based compensation based on outstanding stock options at September 30, 2005 is approximately $6.0 million. We expect to record aggregate amortization of stock-based compensation expense of $0.5
million for the fourth quarter of 2005, from these outstanding options and subject to continued vesting of options. In addition, we expect to record aggregate amortization of stock-based compensation expense of $2.1 million, $2.1 million,
$1.3 million and $26,000 for 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively, from these outstanding options and subject to continued vesting of options. This amortization will be allocated among cost of revenues, research and development expenses and
sales, general and administrative expenses, respectively, based upon the employees job function.



On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123
(revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R eliminates the alternative of applying the intrinsic value measurement provisions of Opinion 25 to stock compensation awards issued to employees. Instead, the new standard requires
companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost must be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide
services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period, which is usually the vesting period.



We have not yet quantified the effects of the adoption of SFAS 123R, but we expect that the new standard will result in significant stock-based
compensation expense. The effects of adopting SFAS 123R will depend on numerous factors, including the valuation model we choose to value stock-based awards, the assumed award forfeiture rate, the accounting policies we adopt concerning the method
of recognizing the fair value of awards over the requisite service period and the transition method, as described below, we choose for adopting SFAS 123R.

##### Table of Contents

SFAS 123R will be effective for our quarter beginning January 1, 2006 and requires us to use the
modified prospective application method. Under this method, SFAS 123R will be applied to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after the effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the
requisite service has not been rendered, such as unvested options, that are outstanding as of the date of adoption will be recognized as the remaining requisite services are rendered. The compensation cost relating to unvested awards at the date of
adoption is based on the grant-date fair value for those awards granted after April 4, 2005, which was the date of our initial filing of our registration statement in connection with our initial public offering and based on the intrinsic values
as previously recorded under Opinion 25 for awards granted prior to that date.



Accounting for Income Taxes



We account for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, we determine our deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon the difference between the financial statement and
tax bases of our assets and liabilities using tax rates in effect for the year in which we expect the differences to affect taxable income. The tax consequences of most events recognized in the current years financial statements are included
in determining income taxes currently payable. However, because tax laws and financial accounting standards differ in their recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, expenses, gains and losses, differences arise between
the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income for a year and between the tax bases of assets or liabilities and their reported amounts in our financial statements. Because we assume that the reported amounts of assets and liabilities will
be recovered and settled, respectively, a difference between the tax basis of an asset or a liability and its reported amount in the balance sheet will result in a taxable or a deductible amount in some future years when the related liabilities are
settled or the reported amounts of the assets are recovered, which gives rise to a deferred tax asset or liability. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent we
believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance.



As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes. This process involves estimating our actual current tax expense together with assessing
temporary differences that may result in deferred tax assets. Management judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. Prior to 2004 we had a full valuation allowance for our net deferred
tax assets as it was more likely than not that we would not realize those assets due to our history of losses. At December 31, 2004, we reassessed the amount of our valuation allowance considering the fact that we experienced two consecutive
profitable years. In determining the amount of our deferred tax assets for which realization is more likely than not and the amount of the corresponding valuation allowance, we consider the current and two preceding years income before income
taxes, excluding amounts not deductible or includable for tax return purposes, as available objective evidence supporting estimated levels of future taxable income. Using this evidence, we estimate the amount of future taxable income through the
20-year carryforward period for net operating losses, which becomes the basis for our estimate of realizable net deferred tax assets and the amount of our valuation allowance. As a result, we recognized a reduction of our provision for income taxes
of $11.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 due to the reversal of our valuation allowance. While management has considered future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, if we were to
determine that an increase in our valuation allowance in the future is necessary, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would result in additional income tax expense in such period.



We are in the process of implementing an international structure. We are currently transitioning certain of our logistics,
order entry, purchasing and billing functions to our new office in Macau and our nearby office in Hong Kong, which are in closer geographic proximity to our suppliers and customers. Our corporate headquarters will remain in the United States. In
connection with this transition, we are implementing cost-sharing and license arrangements with our wholly-owned British Virgin Islands subsidiary, with which our wholly-owned Macau subsidiary is implementing a similar licensing arrangement to fund,
develop and license intellectual property. Pursuant to these arrangements, our British Virgin Islands and Macau subsidiaries will have the non-exclusive rights to manufacture, market and distribute our products in certain geographic markets.
Furthermore, our Macau subsidiary will be authorized to contract with third parties for the manufacture, test and assembly of our products. As a result of these changes, we expect the percentage of our consolidated pre-tax income represented by our
foreign operations to increase and eventually exceed the domestic percentage.

##### Table of Contents

We expect our effective tax rate for 2005 to be substantially higher than the statutory federal rate for
two primary reasons. We incur significant stock-based compensation that, while reflected in our financial statements, is not deductible for federal income tax purposes, unless a future disqualifying disposition by the shareholder occurs.
In connection with the implementation of our international structure, we will incur intercompany royalty income and cost-sharing payments from transfers of intellectual property in 2005 and succeeding years that will be taxed at substantially higher
rates than the corresponding tax benefit arising from the deduction in the foreign jurisdictions. Both of these factors are in significant measure independent of our consolidated results of operations. We expect to continue to incur nondeductible
stock-based compensation expense and intercompany income associated with our international structure in 2006 but nevertheless expect our effective tax rate to be significantly reduced in 2006 after we complete the implementation of our international
structure.



The percentage tax rate reflected in our results of
operations is based on an estimate of net income for the fiscal year 2005 that we make at the end of each quarter. For example, at March 31, 2005, we estimated our effective tax rate based on our internal estimate of net income for 2005.
However, when we reduced our estimate of net income for 2005 as of June 30, 2005, this required an increase in our percentage tax rate because the stock-based compensation and taxes associated with implementation of our international structure
would now be applied to decreased net income. Under applicable accounting principles, prior quarters are not revised and the cumulative change in the estimated effective tax rate is recorded in the quarter of change so that the year-to-date
effective tax rate at the end of the current quarter is equal to the new estimated effective tax rate for the year. For these reasons, when we decreased our estimate for 2005 income at June 30, 2005, we not only revised our expected effective
tax rate to be 81% for 2005 but reflected a tax rate of 345% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 in order to achieve the 81% effective tax rate for the entire first six months of 2005. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2005 was also 81%. Future changes in our estimates could similarly affect our effective tax rate for the year-to-date results of operations.

RISK FACTORS



Risks Related to Our Business



Our customers may cancel their orders, change production quantities or delay production, and if we fail to forecast demand for our products
accurately, we may incur product shortages, delays in product shipments or excess or insufficient product inventory.



We generally do not obtain firm, long-term purchase commitments from our customers. Because production lead times often exceed the amount of time required
to fulfill orders, we often must build in advance of orders, relying on an imperfect demand forecast to project volumes and product mix. Our demand forecast accuracy can be adversely affected by a number of factors, including inaccurate forecasting
by our customers, changes in market conditions, new part introductions by our competitors that lead to our loss of previous design wins, adverse changes in our product order mix and demand for our customers products or models. China, in
particular, is an emerging market where forecasting by our distributors is not accurate, and there can be rapid changes in the distribution system and market conditions. Even after an order is received, our customers may cancel these orders or
request a decrease in production quantities. Any such cancellation or decrease subjects us to a number of risks, most notably that our projected sales will not materialize on schedule or at all, leading to unanticipated revenue shortfalls and excess
or obsolete inventory which we may be unable to sell to other customers. Alternatively, if we are unable to project customer requirements accurately, we may not build enough products, which could lead to delays in product shipments and lost sales
opportunities in the near term, as well as force our customers to identify alternative sources, which could affect our ongoing relationships with these customers. We have in the past had customers dramatically increase their requested production
quantities with little or no advance notice and after they had submitted their original order. We have on occasion been unable to fulfill these revised orders within the time period requested. Either underestimating or overestimating demand would
lead to excess, obsolete or insufficient inventory, which could harm our operating results, cash flow and financial condition, as well as our relationships with our customers. For example, we recorded inventory write-downs of $0.9 million, $0.8
million, $1.9 million and $2.4 million in the fiscal years ended 2002, 2003, 2004 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively.



We receive a substantial portion of our revenues from one customer and most of our revenues from a small number of customers, and the loss of, or a
significant reduction in, orders from that customer or our other largest customers would adversely affect our operations and financial condition.



We receive a substantial portion of our revenues from one customer, LG Electronics Inc. of South Korea. We received an aggregate of approximately 39% of
our revenues from LG for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, which compares to 43% of our revenues from LG in fiscal 2004. We anticipate that we will continue to be dependent on LG for a significant portion of our revenues in the
immediate future; however, we do not have long-term contractual purchase commitments from LG, and we cannot assure you that LG will continue to be our customer. We received an aggregate of approximately 81% of our revenues from our ten largest
customers for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Any action by LG or any of our other largest customers that affects our orders, product pricing or vendor status could significantly reduce our revenues and harm our financial results. For
example, in the fourth quarter of 2004, we experienced a 33% sequential quarterly decline in revenues from LG as a result of LGs prior increase in inventory of our products in the third quarter in anticipation of the peak fourth-quarter buying
season for the wireless handsets in which our products are primarily used by LG. In the future, our sales to LG or our other large customers will continue to be susceptible to this type of quarterly fluctuation as our customers manage their
inventories, principally for seasonal variations. In particular, our customers increase in inventory of our products in advance of this peak buying season for wireless handsets often leads to sequentially lower sales of our products in the
first calendar quarter and, potentially, late in the fourth calendar quarter. In addition, while in the past the principal LG divisions that purchase our products have been separately responsible for purchasing, inventory and other supply chain
logistics, these functions of these divisions have recently undergone a consolidation. This consolidation has reduced our ability to forecast orders from LG because we no longer receive orders directly from the LG divisions using our products. In
addition, we have recently become required to supply inventory to a centralized location based on a forecast provided by LG for the ensuing 30 days on a consolidated basis, which requires us to incur the cost of producing materials in advance of
receiving a purchase commitment from LG. If LG does not purchase the inventory that was forecasted, we will be required to find alternative customers for the inventory and we may be unsuccessful in doing so at acceptable prices or at all, which
would require us to write down or write off the inventory supplied by us to LGs centralized location. Because LG has only recently implemented this consolidation and hub structure, we have limited experience in understanding and forecasting

ordering patterns under this structure. Because our largest customers account for such a significant part of our
business, the loss of, or a decline in sales to, any of our major customers would negatively impact our business.



Our operating results have fluctuated in the past and we expect our operating results to continue to fluctuate.



Our revenues are difficult to predict and have varied significantly in the
past from period to period. We expect our revenues and expense levels to continue to vary in the future, making it difficult to predict our future operating results. In particular, we experience seasonality and variability in demand for our products
as our customers manage their inventories. Our customers tend to increase inventory of our products in anticipation of the peak fourth quarter buying season for the mobile consumer electronic devices in which our products are used, which often leads
to sequentially lower sales of our products in the first calendar quarter and, potentially, late in the fourth calendar quarter.



Additional factors that could cause our results to fluctuate include:



| |  |  | the forecasting, scheduling, rescheduling or cancellation of orders by our customers, particularly in China and other emerging markets;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | liquidity and cash flow of our distributors and end-market customers;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in manufacturing costs, including wafer, test and assembly costs, and manufacturing yields, product quality and reliability;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing and availability of adequate manufacturing capacity from our manufacturing suppliers;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to successfully define, design and release new products in a timely manner that meet our customers needs;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing, performance and pricing of new product introductions by us and by our competitors;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | general economic conditions in the countries where we operate or our products are used;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in exchange rates, interest rates, tax rates and tax withholding;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | geopolitical stability, especially affecting China, Taiwan and Asia in general;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | costs associated with litigation, especially related to intellectual property; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in domestic and international tax laws.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



Unfavorable changes in any of the above factors, most of which are beyond our control, could significantly harm our business and results of operations.



We may be unsuccessful in developing and selling new
products or in penetrating new markets.



We operate in
a dynamic environment characterized by rapidly changing technologies and industry standards and technological obsolescence. Our competitiveness and future success depend on our ability to design, develop, manufacture, assemble, test, market and
support new products and enhancements on a timely and cost effective basis. A fundamental shift in technologies in any of our product markets could harm our competitive position within these markets. Our failure to anticipate these shifts, to
develop new technologies or to react to changes in existing technologies could materially delay our development of new products, which could result in product obsolescence, decreased revenues and a loss of design wins to our competitors. The success
of a new product depends on accurate forecasts of long-term market demand and future technological developments, as well as on a variety of specific implementation factors, including:



| |  |  | effective marketing, sales and service;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



26



---

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | timely and efficient completion of process design and device structure improvements and implementation of manufacturing, assembly and test processes; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the quality, performance and reliability of the product.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



If we fail to introduce new products or penetrate new markets, our revenues will likely decrease over time and our financial condition could suffer.



Our products must meet exacting specifications, and
defects and failures may occur, which may cause customers to return or stop buying our products and may expose us to product liability claims.



Our customers generally establish demanding specifications for quality, performance and reliability that our products must meet. Integrated circuits, or
ICs, as complex as ours often encounter development delays and may contain undetected defects or failures when first introduced or after commencement of commercial shipments, which might require product replacement or recall. For example, in 2003
one of our low-dropout linear regulator products that we had been shipping for two years developed unacceptably high failure rates, which caused us to direct our engineering personnel from other priorities to redesign the product. If defects and
failures occur in our products during the design phase or after, we could experience lost revenues, increased costs, including warranty expense and costs associated with customer support, delays in or cancellations or rescheduling of orders or
shipments, or product returns or discounts, any of which would harm our operating results. We cannot assure you that we will have sufficient resources, including any available insurance, to satisfy any asserted claims.



The nature of the design process requires us to incur expenses prior to
earning revenues associated with those expenses, and we will have difficulty selling our products if system designers do not design our products into their electronic systems.



We devote significant time and resources in working with our customers system designers to understand their future
needs and to provide products that we believe will meet those needs. If a customers system designer initially chooses a competitors product for a particular electronic system, it becomes significantly more difficult for us to sell our
products for use in that electronic system because changing suppliers can involve significant cost, time, effort and risk for our customers.



We often incur significant expenditures in the development of a new product without any assurance that our customers system designers will select
our product for use in their electronic systems. We often are required to anticipate which product designs will generate demand in advance of our customers expressly indicating a need for that particular design. In some cases, there is minimal or no
demand for our products in our anticipated target applications. For example, in 2000, we created a USB hub protection device that we believed would be used in flat panel monitors; however, our customers products have not evolved as we
expected, and consequently we have not generated significant customer demand for this product to date. Even if our products are selected by our customers system designers, a substantial period of time will elapse before we generate revenues
related to the significant expenses we have incurred. The reasons for this delay generally include the following elements of our product sales and development cycle timeline and related influences:



| |  |  | our customers usually require a comprehensive technical evaluation of our products before they incorporate them into their electronic systems;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | it can take up to 12 months from the time our products are selected to complete the design process;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | it can take an additional nine to 12 months or longer to complete commercial introduction of the electronic systems that use our products, if they are introduced at all;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | original equipment manufacturers typically limit the initial release of their electronic systems to evaluate performance and consumer demand; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the development and commercial introduction of products incorporating new technology are frequently delayed.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



We estimate that the overall sales and development cycle
timeline of an average product is approximately 16 months.

##### Table of Contents

Additionally, even if system designers use our products in their electronic systems, we cannot assure you
that these systems will be commercially successful. As a result, we are unable to accurately forecast the volume and timing of our orders and revenues associated with any new product introductions.



Because we receive a substantial portion of our revenues through
distributors, their financial viability and ability to access the capital markets could impact our ability to continue to do business with them and could result in lower revenues, which could adversely affect our operating results and our customer
relationships.



We obtain a portion of our revenues
through sales to distributors located outside of North America who act as our fulfillment representatives. Sales to distributors accounted for 39% and 40% of our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and fiscal 2004,
respectively. In the normal course of their operation as fulfillment representatives, these distributors typically perform functions such as order scheduling, shipment coordination, inventory stocking, payment and collections and, when applicable,
currency exchange between purchasers of our products and these distributors. Our distributors compensation for these functions is reflected in the price of the products we sell to these distributors. Many of our current distributors also serve
as our sales representatives procuring orders for us to fill directly. If these distributors are unable to pay us in a timely manner or if we anticipate that they will not pay us, we may elect to withhold future shipments, which could adversely
affect our operating results. For example, during the fourth quarter of 2004, a number of our distributors in China delayed payments to us, generally due to an unanticipated regional increase in restrictions on credit. As a result of these liquidity
concerns, we limited our sales to these distributors, which adversely affected our revenues and operating results in the fourth quarter of 2004. If one of our distributors experiences severe financial difficulties, becomes insolvent or declares
bankruptcy, we could lose product inventory held by that distributor and we could be required to write off the value of any receivables owed to us by that distributor. We could also be required to record bad debt expense in excess of our reserves.
For example, in the first quarter of 2005, we noticed a slowing in the payment pattern of our largest distributor, EPCO Technology Co., Ltd., and it became apparent that EPCO had serious financial problems. As a result, we recorded a bad debt
expense of $0.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2004. We have since ceased doing business with EPCO, from which we received approximately 7% of our revenues in 2004, and have engaged a replacement distributor. In the future, we may not be
successful in recognizing these indications or in finding replacement distributors in a timely manner, or at all, which could harm our operating results, cash flow and financial condition.



Our distributor arrangements often require us to accept product returns
and to provide price protection, which could harm our operating results or, if we fail to take these steps, could harm our relationship with these distributors and lead to a loss of revenues.



A substantial portion of our sales are made through third-party distribution
arrangements, which include stock rotation rights that generally permit the return of up to 5% and, in the case of one customer, 8%, of the previous nine months purchases. We also may be obligated to repurchase unsold products from a
distributor if we decide to terminate our relationship with that distributor. Our arrangements with our distributors typically also include price protection provisions if we reduce our list prices. We record estimated returns at the time of
shipment, and we record reserves for price protection at the time we decide to reduce our list prices. In the future, we could receive returns or claims that are in excess of our estimates and reserves, which could harm our operating results. A
terminated relationship with a distributor could result in a temporary or permanent loss of revenues, until a replacement sales channel can be established to service the affected end-user customers. We may not be successful in finding suitable
alternative distributors and this could adversely affect our ability to sell in certain locations or to certain end-user customers.



We have a limited operating history, and we may have difficulty accurately predicting our future revenues for the purpose of appropriately budgeting
and adjusting our expenses.



We were incorporated in
1997, commenced operations in 1998 and generated only nominal revenues prior to 2001. We did not become profitable until 2003. We therefore have only a short history from which to predict future revenues and an even shorter history of managing
profitability. Our limited operating experience, a dynamic and rapidly evolving market in which we sell our products, our dependence on a limited number of customers, as well as numerous other factors beyond our control, impede our ability to
forecast quarterly and annual revenues accurately. As a result, we could experience budgeting and cash flow management problems, unexpected fluctuations in our results of operations and other difficulties, any of which could make it difficult for us
to maintain profitability and could increase the volatility of the market price of our common stock.

##### Table of Contents

Our current backlog may not be indicative of future sales.



Due to the nature of our business, in which order lead times may vary, and
customers are generally allowed to reschedule or cancel orders on short notice, we believe that backlog is not necessarily a good indicator of future sales. We generally measure backlog as customer orders with a requested shipping date within six
months. Our quarterly revenues also depend on orders booked and shipped in that quarter. Our lead times for the manufacturing of our products generally take six to ten weeks, we often must build in advance of orders. This exposes us to certain
risks, most notably the possibility that expected sales will not occur, which may lead to excess inventory and we may not be able to sell these inventories to other customers. Therefore, our backlog may not be a reliable indicator of future sales.



If consumer demand for mobile consumer electronic
devices declines, our revenues will decrease.



Our
products are used primarily in the mobile consumer electronic devices market. For the foreseeable future, we expect to see the significant majority of our revenues continue to come from this market, especially in wireless handsets. If consumer
demand for these products declines, our revenues will decrease. If we are unsuccessful in identifying alternative markets for our products in a timely manner, our operating results will suffer dramatically.



The average selling price of our products may decline, or a change in
the mix of product orders may occur, either of which could reduce our gross margins.



During a power management products life, its average selling price tends to decrease for a particular application. As a result, to maintain gross margins on our products, we must continue to identify new
applications for our products, reduce manufacturing costs for our existing products and introduce new products. If we are unable to identify new, high gross margin applications for our existing products, reduce our production costs or sell new, high
gross margin products, our gross margins will suffer. A sustained reduction in our gross margins could harm our future operating results, cash flow and financial condition, which could lead to a significant drop in the price of our common stock.



Substantially all of our customers and operations are
located in Asia, which subjects us to additional risks, including regionalized economic influences, logistical complexity, political instability and currency fluctuations.



We conduct, and expect to continue to conduct, almost all of our business with companies that are located outside the United
States. Based on ship-to locations, we derived approximately 99% and 99% of our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and fiscal 2004, from customers outside of the United States, and approximately 96% and 95% of our revenues in
the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and fiscal 2004 came from customers in Asia, particularly South Korea, Taiwan and China. A vast majority of our contract manufacturing operations are located in South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia and China.
As a result of our international focus, we face several challenges, including:



| |  |  | increased complexity and costs of managing international operations;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | longer and more difficult collection of receivables;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | political and economic instability;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------



| |  |  | limited protection of our intellectual property;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | unanticipated changes in local regulations, including tax regulations;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | timing and availability of import and export licenses; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | foreign currency exchange fluctuations relating to our international operating activities.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



We are also more susceptible to the regionalized economic impact of health crises. For example, we believe that our second
quarter 2003 results of operations were significantly harmed by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, epidemic experienced in Asia during that time, which reduced demand for our products by our customers in Asia. Because we anticipate that
we will continue to rely heavily on foreign companies or U.S. companies operating in Asia for our future growth, the above risks and issues that we do not currently anticipate could adversely affect our ability to conduct business and our results of
operations.

Any increase in the manufacturing cost of our products could reduce our gross margins and operating
profit.



The semiconductor business exhibits ongoing
competitive pricing pressure from customers and competitors. Accordingly, any increase in the cost of our products, whether by adverse purchase price variances or adverse manufacturing cost variances, will reduce our gross margins and operating
profit. For example, if we do not incorporate the partially fabricated wafers held for us by our suppliers into our products in a timely fashion, we may still become obligated to purchase these materials, which may reduce our gross margins. We do
not have many long-term supply agreements with our manufacturing suppliers and, consequently, we may not be able to obtain price reductions or anticipate or prevent future price increases from our suppliers.



We outsource our wafer fabrication, testing, packaging, warehousing and
shipping operations to third parties, and rely on these parties to produce and deliver our products according to requested demands in specification, quantity, cost and time.



We rely on third parties for substantially all of our manufacturing operations, including wafer fabrication, wafer probe,
wafer thinning, assembly, final test, warehousing and shipping. We depend on these parties to supply us with material of a requested quantity in a timely manner that meets our standards for yield, cost and manufacturing quality. Any problems with
our manufacturing supply chain could adversely impact our ability to ship our products to our customers on time and in the quantity required, which in turn could cause an unanticipated decline in our sales and possibly damage our customer
relationships.



Our products are manufactured at a limited
number of locations. If we experience manufacturing problems at a particular location, we would be required to transfer manufacturing to a backup supplier. Converting or transferring manufacturing from a primary supplier to a backup fabrication
facility could be expensive and could take as long as six to 12 months. During such a transition, we would be required to meet customer demand from our then-existing inventory, as well as any partially finished goods that can be modified to the
required product specifications. We do not seek to maintain sufficient inventory to address a lengthy transition period because we believe it is uneconomical to keep more than minimal inventory on hand. As a result, we may not be able to meet
customer needs during such a transition, which could delay shipments, cause a production delay or stoppage for our customers, result in a decline in our sales and damage our customer relationships.



In addition, a significant portion of our sales is to customers that practice
just-in-time order management from their suppliers, which gives us a very limited amount of time in which to process and complete these orders. As a result, delays in our production or shipping by the parties to whom we outsource these functions
could reduce our sales, damage our customer relationships and damage our reputation in the marketplace, any of which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.



The loss of any of our key personnel could seriously harm our business,
and our failure to attract or retain specialized technical and management talent could impair our ability to grow our business.



The loss of services of one or more of our key personnel could seriously harm our business. In particular, our ability to define and design new products,
gain new customers and grow our business depends on the continued contributions of Richard K. Williams, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technical Officer, as well as our senior level sales, operations, technology and engineering
personnel. Our future growth will also depend significantly on our ability to recruit and retain qualified and talented managers and engineers, along with key manufacturing, quality, sales and marketing staff members. There remains intense
competition for these individuals in our industry, especially those with power and analog semiconductor design and applications expertise. We cannot assure you we will be successful in finding, hiring and retaining these individuals. If we are
unable to recruit and retain such talent, our product and technology development, manufacturing, marketing and sales efforts could be impaired.



We compete against companies with substantially greater financial and other resources, and our market share or gross margins may be reduced if we
are unable to respond to competitive challenges effectively.



The analog, mixed-signal, or analog with digital, and power management semiconductor industry in which we operate is highly competitive and dynamic, and we expect it to remain so. Our ability to compete effectively depends on defining,
designing and regularly introducing new products that meet or anticipate the power management needs of our customers next-generation products and applications. We compete with numerous domestic and international semiconductor companies, many
of which have greater financial and other resources with which to pursue marketing, technology development, product design, manufacturing, quality, sales and distribution of their products.

We consider our primary competitors to be Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., Linear Technology Corporation,
Texas Instruments Incorporated, Semtech Corporation and National Semiconductor Corporation. We expect continued competition from existing suppliers as well as from new entrants into the power management semiconductor market. Our ability to compete
depends on a number of factors, including:



| |  |  | our success in identifying new and emerging markets, applications and technologies, and developing power management solutions for these markets;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our products performance and cost effectiveness relative to that of our competitors products;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to deliver products in large volume on a timely basis at a competitive price;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our success in utilizing new and proprietary technologies to offer products and features previously not available in the marketplace;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to recruit application engineers and designers; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to protect our intellectual property.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



We cannot assure you that our products will compete favorably or that we will be successful in the face of increasing competition from new products and
enhancements introduced by our existing competitors or new companies entering this market.



Assertions by third parties of infringement by us of their intellectual property rights could result in significant costs and cause our operating results to suffer.



The semiconductor industry is characterized by vigorous protection and
pursuit of intellectual property rights and positions, which has resulted in protracted and expensive litigation for many companies. We have in the past received, and expect that in the future we may receive, communications from various industry
participants alleging our infringement of their patents, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights. Any lawsuits resulting from such allegations could subject us to significant liability for damages and invalidate our proprietary rights.
Any potential intellectual property litigation also could force us to do one or more of the following:



| |  |  | stop selling products or using technology that contain the allegedly infringing intellectual property;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | incur significant legal expenses;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------



| |  |  | pay damages to the party claiming infringement;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | redesign those products that contain the allegedly infringing intellectual property; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | attempt to obtain a license to the relevant intellectual property from third parties, which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



We are currently involved in a lawsuit initiated by Siliconix incorporated in
which Siliconix has alleged that certain of our TrenchDMOS products infringe three patents held by Siliconix. Although this case has been stayed by the court hearing the case pending a reexamination of two of the Siliconix patents at issue by the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, we have already incurred significant legal expenses related to our defense. Although we do not believe that our TrenchDMOS products infringe the Siliconix patents at issue, if these products are found by a court to
infringe, then we would be unable to continue to sell these products in the United States. Sales of our products in the Unites States that Siliconix claims infringe its U.S. patents are minimal, and sales of all of our TrenchDMOS products worldwide
represent less than 2% of our revenues. As a result, we believe that any decision in this case, even if favorable to Siliconix, is unlikely to have a material adverse impact on our revenues, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Any significant impairment of our intellectual property rights from any litigation we face could harm our business and our ability to compete.

##### Table of Contents

Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights adequately could impair our ability to
compete effectively or to defend ourselves from litigation, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.



We rely primarily on patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements, to protect our
proprietary technologies and know-how. While we have been issued 17 patents in the United States and six patents internationally as of September 30, 2005 and have additional patent applications pending, the rights granted to us may not be
meaningful or provide us with any commercial advantage. For example, these patents could be challenged or circumvented by our competitors or be declared invalid or unenforceable in judicial or administrative proceedings. The failure of our patents
to adequately protect our technology might make it easier for our competitors to offer similar products or technologies. Our foreign patent protection is generally not as comprehensive as our U.S. patent protection and may not protect our
intellectual property in some countries where our products are sold or may be sold in the future. Even if foreign patents are granted, effective enforcement in foreign countries may not be available. Many U.S.-based companies have encountered
substantial intellectual property infringement in foreign countries, including countries where we sell products.



Monitoring unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult and costly. It is possible that unauthorized use of our intellectual property may
occur without our knowledge. We cannot assure you that the steps we have taken will prevent unauthorized use of our intellectual property. Our failure to effectively protect our intellectual property could reduce the value of our technology in
licensing arrangements or in cross-licensing negotiations, and could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. We may in the future need to initiate infringement claims or litigation. Litigation, whether we are a plaintiff or
a defendant, can be expensive, time-consuming and may divert the efforts of our technical staff and managerial personnel, which could harm our business, whether or not such litigation results in a determination favorable to us.



We do not expect to sustain our recent growth rate, and we may not be
able to manage any future growth effectively.



We have
experienced significant growth in a short period of time. Our revenues have increased from approximately $1.0 million in 2001 to $51.3 million in 2004. We do not expect to achieve similar growth rates in future periods. You should not rely on our
operating results for any prior quarterly or annual periods as an indication of our future operating performance. If we are unable to maintain adequate revenue growth, our financial results could suffer and our stock price could decline.



We have also grown from 110 employees on January 1, 2004 to 188
employees on September 30, 2005, with many located in regional and international offices. Our international growth may subject us to income and transaction taxes in the United States and in multiple foreign locations. Our future effective tax
rates could be affected by changes in our foreign tax estimates and liabilities, or changes in tax laws or the interpretation of such tax laws. If additional taxes are assessed against us, our operating results or financial condition could be
materially affected.



Our expansion has placed a significant
strain on our management, personnel, systems and resources. Any future expansion is likely to result in additional strain on our managerial infrastructure. To manage our growth successfully and handle the responsibilities of being a public company,
we believe we must effectively:



| |  |  | recruit, hire, train and manage additional qualified engineers for our research and development activities, especially in the positions of design engineering, product and test
engineering, and applications engineering;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | implement and improve our administrative, financial and operational systems, procedures and controls; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | enhance our information technology support for enterprise resource planning and design engineering by adapting and expanding our systems and tool capabilities, and properly training
new hires as to their use.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



If we are unable to
manage our growth effectively, we may not be able to take advantage of market opportunities or develop new products, our introduction of derivative products may be delayed and we may fail to satisfy customer requirements, maintain product quality,
execute our business plan or respond to competitive pressures.

The cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry, which has historically demonstrated significant
and prolonged downturns, could impact our operating results, financial condition and cash flows.



The semiconductor industry has historically exhibited cyclical behavior which at various times has included significant downturns in customer demand.
These conditions have caused significant variations in product orders and production capacity utilization, as well as price erosion. Because a significant portion of our expenses is fixed in the near term or is incurred in advance of anticipated
sales, we may not be able to decrease our expenses rapidly enough to offset any unanticipated shortfall in revenues. If this situation were to occur, it could adversely affect our operating results, cash flow and financial condition.



Our business may be adversely impacted if our end customers cannot
obtain sufficient supplies of other components in their products to meet their production projections and target quantities.



Our power management products are used by our customers in conjunction with a number of other components such as digital integrated circuits, baseband
processors, microcontrollers and digital signal processors. If for any reason our customers incur a shortage of any component, their ability to produce the forecasted quantity of their end product or model may be adversely affected and our product
sales would decline until such shortage is remedied. Such a situation could harm our operating results, cash flow and financial condition.



We, our manufacturing suppliers and our end customers operate facilities located in regions subject to earthquakes and other natural disasters.



Our corporate headquarters in Sunnyvale, California,
our operations office in Chupei, Taiwan, and the production facilities of one of our wafer fabrication suppliers and several of our assembly and test suppliers in Hsinchu and across Taiwan are located near seismically active regions and are subject
to periodic earthquakes. We do not maintain earthquake insurance and our business could be damaged in the event of a major earthquake or other natural disaster.



In addition to risks in our operations from natural disasters, our customers are also subject to these risks. Any disaster impacting our customers
could result in loss of orders, delay of business and temporary regional economic recessions. For example, we believe that our second quarter 2003 results of operations were significantly harmed by the SARS epidemic experienced in Asia during that
time, which reduced demand for our products by our customers in Asia. The occurrence of any of these or other disasters could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.



A failure of our information systems would adversely impact our ability
to process orders for and manufacture products.



We
operate a multinational business enterprise with manufacturing, administration and sales groups located in Asia, Europe and the United States. These disparate groups are connected by a virtual private network-based enterprise resource planning
system, where daily manufacturing operations and order entry functions rely on maintaining a reliable network among locations. Any failure of our computer network or our enterprise resource planning system would impede our ability to schedule
orders, monitor production work in process and ship and bill our finished goods to our customers.



Any acquisitions we make could disrupt our business and harm our financial condition.



In the future, we may choose to acquire companies that are complementary to
our business, including for the purpose of expanding our new product design capacity, introducing new design, market or application skills or enhancing and expanding our existing product lines. In connection with any such future acquisitions, we may
need to use a significant portion of our available cash, issue additional equity securities which would dilute current stockholders percentage ownership and incur substantial debt or contingent liabilities. Such actions could adversely impact
our operating results and the market price of our common stock. In addition, difficulties in assimilating any acquired workforce, merging operations or avoiding unplanned attrition could disrupt or harm our business.

When we are required to expense employee stock options, it will significantly reduce our net income
in future periods.



In December 2004, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, or SFAS 123R, which requires the measurement of all share-based payments to employees, including grants of
employee stock options, using a fair-value-based method and the recording of such expense in our consolidated statements of operations. We expect the accounting provisions of SFAS 123R to be effective for our quarter beginning January 1, 2006.
The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. We have not yet quantified the effects of the adoption of SFAS 123R, but we expect that the new standard will result
in significant stock-based compensation expense. This expense could exceed the expense we currently record for our stock-based compensation plans and correspondingly reduce our net income in future periods.



We will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company.



As a public company, we will incur significant legal,
accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Nasdaq National Market, have
imposed various new requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more
time-consuming and costly. Because we have only recently become a public company and have a limited history with these types of expenses, we may not accurately estimate these expenses in our financial planning. In addition, our current and future
financial results may be more difficult to compare to prior periods when we did not incur these types of expenses.



Standards for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are uncertain, and if we fail to comply in a timely manner, our
business could be harmed and our stock price could decline.



We anticipate that we will be required to comply with the rules promulgated under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, by December 31, 2006. We expect to incur additional expense as we implement policies and procedures
and take other steps to comply with these rules, which requires management to report on, and our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to, our internal controls. In addition, the Nasdaq National Market, on which our common stock is
listed, has adopted comprehensive rules and regulations relating to corporate governance. These laws, rules and regulations have increased and will continue to increase the scope, complexity and cost of our corporate governance, reporting and
disclosure practices. Our efforts to comply with such laws, rules and regulations require a significant amount of management time and are costly. If we fail to comply in a timely manner with the requirements of Section 404 or other
requirements, public perception of our internal controls could be damaged, causing our financial results to suffer and our stock price to decline.



If securities analysts or industry analysts downgrade our stock, publish negative research or reports, or do not publish reports about our business,
our stock price and trading volume could decline.



The
trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us, our business and our market. If one or more analysts adversely change their recommendation regarding our stock
or our competitors stock, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more analysts cease coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock
price or trading volume to decline.



The market price of
our common stock may be volatile.



The trading price
of our common stock has been and may continue to be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, including the following:



| |  |  | variations in our quarterly results;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | the financial guidance we may provide to the public, any changes in such guidance or our failure to meet such guidance;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in financial estimates by industry or securities analysts or our failure to meet such estimates;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | various market factors or perceived market factors, including rumors, whether or not correct, involving us, our customers, our suppliers or our competitors;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, stocks of technology companies have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated or disproportionate to
these companies operating performance. Public announcements by technology companies concerning, among other things, their performance, accounting practices or legal problems could cause the market price of our common stock to decline
regardless of our actual operating performance.



A
limited number of stockholders have the ability to influence the outcome of director elections and other matters requiring stockholder approval.



Our directors and executive officers and their affiliates beneficially own approximately 20.0% of our common outstanding stock. These stockholders, if
they acted together, could exert substantial influence over matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including electing directors and approving mergers, acquisitions or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership
may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company, which could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their stock as part of a sale of our company and might reduce our stock price. These actions may be
taken even if they are opposed by our other stockholders.



Delaware law and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could delay or discourage takeover attempts that stockholders may consider favorable.



Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and
bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management. These provisions include the following:



| |  |  | the right of the board of directors to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the board of directors, or due to the resignation or departure of an existing
board member;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the prohibition of cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would otherwise allow less than a majority of stockholders to elect director candidates;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the requirement for the advance notice of nominations for election to the board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon at a stockholders meeting;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability of our board of directors to alter our bylaws without obtaining stockholder approval;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability of the board of directors to issue, without stockholder approval, up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with terms set by the board of directors, which rights could
be senior to those of our common stock;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the elimination of the rights of stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders and to take action by written consent in lieu of a meeting;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | the required approval of at least two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors to adopt, amend or repeal our bylaws, or repeal the provisions of our amended
and restated certificate of incorporation regarding the election and removal of directors and the ability of stockholders to take action by written consent in lieu of a meeting; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the required approval of at least two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors to remove directors without cause.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



In addition, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the
provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. These provisions may prohibit large stockholders, particularly those owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock, from merging or combining with us. These provisions in
our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws and under Delaware law could discourage potential takeover attempts and could reduce the price that investors are willing to pay for shares of our common stock in the future, and
potentially result in the market price being lower than they would without these provisions.



ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK



The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing income without significantly increasing risk. Some of the
securities in which we invest may be subject to market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the principal amount of the investment to fluctuate. To minimize this risk, we may maintain our portfolio of cash
equivalents and short-term investments in a variety of securities, including commercial paper, money market funds, debt securities and certificates of deposit. The risk associated with fluctuating interest rates is limited to our investment
portfolio and we do not believe that a 10% change in interest rates would have a significant impact on our interest income. As of September 30, 2005, we had no significant investments and substantially all of our cash equivalents were held in
money market accounts.



Our exposure to market risk also
relates to the increase or decrease in the amount of interest expense we must pay on our outstanding debt instruments, primarily certain borrowings under our bank line of credit. The advances under this line of credit bear a variable rate of
interest based on the prime rate. The risk associated with fluctuating interest expense is limited to this debt instrument and we do not believe that a 10% change in the prime rate would have a significant impact on our interest expense. During the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, we did not have any outstanding debt instruments.



ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (collectively, our
certifying officers), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation, our certifying officers concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective in
providing reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified by the SECs rules and SEC reports.



We believe
that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and therefore can only provide, reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.



In addition, we have reviewed our internal controls over financial reporting and have made no changes during the three
months ended September 30, 2005, that our certifying officers concluded materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS



We are currently involved in a lawsuit initiated by Siliconix incorporated in which Siliconix has alleged that certain of our TrenchDMOS products infringe three patents held by Siliconix. This lawsuit is currently stayed pending the outcome
of a reexamination by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) of some of the underlying Siliconix patents asserted against us. On October 18, 2005, two separate lawsuits filed by Siliconix against Denso Corporation and Matshusta
Electrical Industrial Co. Ltd. were held by the United States Northern District to be related and all three lawsuits were assigned to the same judge. The court has scheduled a further case management conference in December 2005 to discuss the manner
