Explanatory
Note




This Form
10-Q/A amends Pericom Semiconductor Corporation’s (the Company) quarterly report
on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 27, 2008, which was originally filed
on February 5, 2009 (the “Original Form 10-Q”). The amendment is a result of the
restatement of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and
related financial information for the quarterly period ended December 27,
2008.




The
Company is restating its previously filed financial statements and other
financial information for the above referenced period to correct errors related
to a misclassification of cost data during a conversion of our enterprise
resource planning software. As a result of this error, cost of goods sold was
understated by $772,000; gross profit and operating income were overstated by
$772,000; and net income was overstated by $579,000 for the three months ended
December 27, 2008, as previously reported.  In correcting this error,
earnings per share on a fully diluted basis decreased $0.03 per share to $0.04
for the three month ended December 27, 2008. Also, the company restated its
previously filed 10-Q for the quarter ended September 27, 2008. Net revenues
were overstated by $98,000; cost of goods sold were accumulated understated by
$663,000; gross profit and operating income were accumulated overstated by
$761,000; and net income was accumulated overstated by $843,000 for the six
months ended December 27, 2008, as previously reported. In correcting these
errors, earnings per share on a fully diluted basis decreased $0.03 per share to
$0.19 for the six months ended December 27, 2008.




Restated
balances have been identified with the notation “As Restated” where appropriate.
Throughout the financial statements, the term “as previously reported” will be
used to refer to balances from the fiscal 2009 condensed consolidated financial
statements as reported prior to restatement for the correction of
errors.




Because
this Form 10-Q/A sets forth the Original Form 10-Q in its entirety, it includes
items that have been changed as a result of the restatement and items that are
unchanged from the Original Form 10-Q. Other than the revising of the
disclosures relating to the restatement, this Form 10-Q/A speaks as of the
original filing date of the Original Form 10-Q and has not been updated to
reflect other events occurring subsequent to the original filing date. This
includes forward-looking statements and all other sections of this Form 10-Q/A
that were not directly impacted by the restatement, which should be read in
their historical context. However, the following items have been amended solely
as a result of, and to reflect, the restatement:




Part I,
Item 1 – Financial Statements




Part I,
Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations




Part I,
Item 4 – Controls and Procedures




Part II,
Item 6 – Exhibits




The
Company is including currently dated Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 302 and Section
906 certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
that are attached to this Form 10-Q/A as Exhibits 31 and 32.





This
amended report should be read in conjunction with the two other amended Forms
10-Q and the Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 27, 2009, being filed on
or around the same date as this amended report.





Additional
information concerning the restatement and related matters is contained in the
following sections of the Form 10-K:  Part II, Item 9A, Controls and
Procedures, and Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, "We and our independent
registered public accounting firm determined that we had material weaknesses in
our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of our most recent
fiscal year, June 27, 2009.   There can be no assurance that a
material weakness will not arise in the future. As a result, current and
potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which
would harm our business and the trading price of our stock", and "Our finance
department has undergone, and continues to undergo, significant
changes."

Pericom
Semiconductor Corporation


Notes To
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


(Unaudited)




1.  BASIS
OF PRESENTATION





The
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Pericom
Semiconductor Corporation (“Pericom” or the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In the opinion
of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and
accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position
as of December 27, 2008, the results of operations for the three and six months
ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007 and cash flows for the six months
ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007.  This unaudited
quarterly information should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements of Pericom and the notes thereto included in
the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on September 11, 2008.





The
preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities as of the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
period.  Actual amounts could differ from these
estimates.  The results of operations for the three and six month
periods ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.  The
three and six month periods ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007 each
had 13 and 26 week periods, respectively.





The
Company participates in a dynamic high technology industry and believes that
changes in any of the following areas could have a material adverse effect on
the Company’s future financial position or results of
operations:  advances and trends in new technologies; competitive
pressures in the form of new products or price reductions on current products;
changes in the overall demand for products offered by the Company; changes in
customer relationships; acquisitions and the subsequent integration of the
acquired entity with the Company; litigation or claims against the Company based
on intellectual property, patent, product, regulatory or other factors; risks
associated with changes in domestic and international economic and/or political
conditions or regulations; availability of necessary components; and the
Company’s ability to attract and retain employees necessary to support its
growth.





These
interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Pericom Semiconductor Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Pericom
Taiwan Limited Corporation (“PTL”), Pericom Semiconductor (HK) Limited and
Pericom Asia Limited (“PAL”) as well as its majority owned subsidiary,
SaRonix-eCERA Corporation (“SRe”). In January 2008, we initiated a project to
build a factory in China for the development and manufacture of FCPs. We have
established PSE Technology (Shandong) Corporation ("PSE") in China to develop
and operate the factory. PSE is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PAL. The
Company eliminates all significant intercompany balances and transactions in
consolidation.




Recently
Issued Accounting Standards




Updates
to recent accounting standards as disclosed in Pericom’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2008 are as
follows:





In
May 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 is intended to improve
financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for
selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements
that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States for non-governmental entities. SFAS 162 is effective
November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 162 did not have an impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial position or results of
operation.


7





On June
29, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
("SFAS 157") for financial assets and liabilities, which clarifies the meaning
of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements.  Fair value is defined
under SFAS 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid
to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the
assets or liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants on
the measurement date.  Subsequent changes in fair value of these
financial assets and liabilities are recognized in earnings or other
comprehensive income when they occur. The effective date of the provisions of
SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities is the fiscal year beginning
June 28, 2009, except for items recognized at fair value on a recurring
basis.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the
provisions for non-financial assets and liabilities.  The adoption of
SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities did not have an impact on the
Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.  For additional information on the fair value of financial
assets and liabilities, see Note 15, Fair Value Measurements.





In
December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
SFAS No. 141(R), Business
Combinations (“SFAS 141(R)”).SFAS 141(R) establishes
principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and
measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the
liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS 141(R)
also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in
the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable
users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects
of the business combination. The provisions of SFAS 141(R) are effective for the
fiscal year beginning June 28, 2009.  The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of the provisions of SFAS 141(R).





In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements—an Amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS
160”).SFAS 160
establishes new accounting and reporting standards for a non-controlling
interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.
Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a non-controlling
interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements
separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the
non-controlling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face
of the income statement. SFAS 160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership
interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity
transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In
addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net
income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured
using the fair value of the non-controlling equity investment on the
deconsolidation date. SFAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements
regarding the interests of the parent and its non-controlling interest. The
provisions of SFAS 160 are effective for the fiscal year beginning June 28, 2009
and the presentation and disclosure requirements must be applied
retrospectively for all periods presented at that date. We are currently
evaluating the impact that SFAS 160 will have on our financial
statements.




2.
RESTATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




On August
4, 2009, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Pericom, following a
review by and on the recommendation of the Company’s management, concluded that
the Company’s financial statements for the quarter ended December 27, 2008 could
no longer be relied upon due to a misclassification of cost data during a
conversion of our enterprise resource planning software. As a result, the
Company has restated the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements as of and for the three and six months ended December 27, 2008 to
correct for this accounting error.




Correction
of an error related to unrealized gains or losses of investments




A
previously reported unrealized loss on an investment has been corrected to
present it as an other-than-temporary decline in value of investments in the
amount of $414,000 at September 27, 2008.




Correction
of errors in accounting for inventory




Previously
reported inventories net of reserves have been adjusted for an overstatement of
reserves for certain leaded parts and oscillator products, thus increasing net
inventory by $109,000 with a corresponding decrease in cost of revenues. In
addition, previously reported inventories have been adjusted to correct an
improperly recorded intercompany transaction, thus reducing inventory by $98,000
with a corresponding decrease in net revenue.

Correction
of an error related to misclassification of costs




Previously
reported cost of revenues has been adjusted for an understatement of $772,000
related to an error in recording of cost data during the company’s conversion to
a new enterprise resource planning software during the three months ended
December 27, 2008.

BUSINESS COMBINATION




Acquisition
of remaining minority interest in PTL





PTL was
founded in May 2003. Via participation in two rounds of equity financing,
Pericom became its largest shareholder. In April 2003, Pericom purchased 15
million PTL shares, and sold 1 million shares to the employees of PTL in
November 2004. Subsequently, in November 2005 and April 2006, Pericom purchased
an additional 13 million shares. On August 1, 2008, Pericom’s Board of Directors
approved the acquisition of the remaining PTL ownership.





On October 27, 2008,
Pericom owned approximately 87.9% of PTL with the remaining interest owned by
PTL employees. The Company purchased the remaining 3.7 million shares held by
employees for a total price of $1.3 million, with the result that PTL is now a
wholly owned subsidiary. The Company concluded that the purchase price
was not compensation to the employees who owned the stock because the Company
determined it had paid fair market value for the shares based on a share price
analysis based on established valuation techniques that was performed prior to
acquisition.





The
Company has included the results of operations of PTL in the Company’s
consolidated financial statements from the date of acquiring a majority stake in
PTL.  The Company recorded the assets acquired on October 27, 2008,
the date of the acquisition of the remaining minority interest, at estimated
fair values as determined by management, prorated for the stake
acquired.  The Company based the fair values on the appropriate
application of generally accepted income based approaches.  The
Company allocated the purchase price of PTL’s minority stake as
follows:

The
in-process research and development was expensed during the quarter ended
December 27, 2008. The core developed technology is included in intangible
assets and will be amortized over a period of 5 years.

In
October 2008, the Company acquired the outstanding minority interest of PTL as
described in Note 2 to these financial statements. This resulted in an increase
of $904,000 in intangible assets, consisting of core developed technology, which
will be amortized over five years.





Amortization
expense related to finite-lived purchased intangible assets was approximately
$59,000 and $101,000 for the three and six month periods ended December 27, 2008
and $45,000 and $89,000 for the three and six month periods ended December 29,
2007, respectively.

The Company performs an impairment review of its
intangible assets at least annually, in conformity with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets(“SFAS No. 142”).  Based on the results of its most recent
impairment review, the Company determined that no impairment of its intangible
assets existed as of June 28, 2008. However, future impairment reviews could
result in a charge to earnings.





The
finite-lived purchased intangible assets consist of supplier relationships,
trade names and core developed technology, which have remaining weighted average
useful lives of approximately five years.  We expect our future
amortization expense associated with the Company’s intangible assets over the
next five years to be:

5.  INCOME
PER SHARE





Basic
income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding.  Diluted income per share reflects the additional
potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue
common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.





Basic and
diluted income per share for the three and six month periods ended December 27,
2008 and December 29, 2007 are computed as follows:

The
Company considers raw material inventory obsolete and writes it off if the raw
material has not moved in 365 days.  The Company reviews its assembled
devices for excess and writes them off if the quantity of assembled devices in
inventory is in excess of the greater of the quantity shipped in the previous
twelve months, the quantity in backlog or the quantity forecasted to be shipped
in the following twelve months.  In certain circumstances, management
will determine, based on expected usage or other factors, that inventory
considered excess by these guidelines should not be written off. The Company
does occasionally determine that last twelve months’ sales levels will not
continue and reserves inventory in line with the quantity forecasted. As of
December 27, 2008, the Company had $4.4   million of written-off
inventory as compared to $5.0 million at June 28, 2008.  The Company
attributes this reduction of approximately $0.6 million in obsolete inventory
between December 27, 2008 and June 28, 2008 to sales of previously reserved
inventory as well as physically scrapping a portion of the written-off
inventory.

geographical reporting, we attribute net revenues to the country where customers
are located (the “bill to” location). We neither conduct business in nor sell to
persons in Iran, Syria, Sudan, or North Korea, countries located in the
referenced regions that are identified as state sponsors of terrorism by the
U.S. Department of State, and are subject to U.S. economic sanctions and export

10.  STOCK
REPURCHASE PROGRAM





On April
26, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of 2.0
million shares of our common stock and on April 29, 2008, the Board authorized
the repurchase of an additional $30 million worth of common stock. The Company
was authorized to repurchase the shares from time to time in the open market or
private transactions, at the discretion of the Company’s
management.  Pursuant to the 2007 authority, the Company repurchased
approximately 139,000 shares in the six months ended December 27, 2008 for an
aggregate cost of $1.9 million, and this completed the repurchase of 2.0 million
shares at a cost of approximately $25.2 million. Pursuant to the 2008 authority,
the Company repurchased approximately 487,000 shares in the six months ended
December 27, 2008 for an aggregate cost of $3.1 million. During the same period
of the prior year, the Company repurchased approximately 471,000 shares for an
aggregate cost of $5.2 million.





Current
cash balances and the proceeds from stock option exercises and purchases in the
stock purchase plan have funded stock repurchases in the past, and the Company
expects to fund future stock repurchases from these same sources.




11.  MINORITY
INTEREST





The
Company consolidates its subsidiary SRe, which has a minority interest. Parties
other than the Company own approximately 2.71% of the outstanding shares of SRe
at December 27, 2008, and as of this date the minority interest in SRe was
valued at $1.2 million.





As of
September 27, 2008, Pericom owned approximately 87.9% of its subsidiary PTL with
the remaining interest owned by PTL employees. During the quarter ended December
27, 2008, Company purchased the remaining 3.7 million shares held by employees
for a total price of $1.3 million, with the result that PTL is now a wholly
owned subsidiary.




12.
SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION





PREFERRED
STOCK





The
Company’s shareholders have authorized the Board of Directors to issue 5,000,000
shares of preferred stock from time to time in one or more series and to fix the
rights, privileges and restrictions of each series.  As of December
27, 2008, the Company has issued no shares of preferred stock.





STOCK OPTION
PLANS





At
December 27, 2008 the Company had four stock option plans and one employee stock
purchase plan, consisting of the 1995 Stock Option Plan, 2001 Stock Option Plan,
SaRonix Acquisition Stock Option Plan, 2004 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2000
Employee Stock Purchase Plan.





Under the
four stock option plans, the Company has reserved an aggregate of 5.1 million
shares of common stock as of December 27, 2008 for issuance to employees,
officers, directors, independent contractors and consultants of the Company in
the form of incentive or nonqualified stock options, or grants of restricted
stock.





The
Company may grant options at the fair value and not less than 85% of the fair
value on the grant date for incentive stock options and nonqualified stock
options, respectively.  Options vest over periods of up to 72 months
as determined by the Board of Directors.  Options granted under the
Plans expire 10 years from the grant date.





The
Company estimates the fair value of each employee option on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and expenses that value as
compensation using a straight-line method over the option’s vesting period,
which corresponds to the requisite employee service period.  The
Company estimates expected stock price volatility based on actual historical
volatility for periods that the Company believes represent predictors of future
volatility.  The Company uses historical data to estimate option
exercises, expected option holding periods and option
forfeitures.  The Company bases the risk-free interest rate for
periods within the contractual life of the option on the U.S. Treasury yield
corresponding to the expected life of the underlying option.

Restricted
Stock Units





Restricted
stock units (“RSUs”) are converted into shares of the Company’s common stock
upon vesting on a one-for-one basis. Typically, vesting of RSUs is subject to
the employee’s continuing service to the Company. RSUs generally vest over a
period of 4 years and are expensed ratably on a straight-line basis over their
respective vesting period net of estimated forfeitures.  The fair value of
RSUs granted pursuant to the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan is the product
of the number of shares granted and the grant date fair value of our common
stock as calculated under the Black-Scholes methodology. A summary of activity
of RSUs as of December 27, 2008 is presented below:

2000 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE
PLAN





The
Company’s 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Stock Purchase Plan”) allows
eligible employees of the Company to purchase shares of Common Stock through
payroll deductions.  The Company reserved 2.1 million shares of the
Company’s Common Stock for issuance under this Plan, of which 468,000 remain
available at December 27, 2008 and which may be released at the Board of
Directors’ discretion.  The Stock Purchase Plan permits eligible
employees to purchase Common Stock at a discount through payroll deductions
during 24-month purchase periods.  The Company divides each purchase
period into eight consecutive three-month accrual
periods.  Participants in the Stock Purchase Plan may purchase stock
at 85% of the lower of the stock’s fair market value on the first day of the
purchase period or the last day of the accrual period.  The maximum
number of shares of Common Stock that any employee may purchase under the Stock
Purchase Plan during any three-month accrual period is 1,000
shares.  During the first six months of  fiscal years 2009
and 2008, the Company issued 74,834 and 73,216 shares of common stock under the
Stock Purchase Plan at weighted average prices of $7.64 and $6.96,
respectively.  The weighted average fair value of the first half
fiscal 2009 and 2008 awards were $2.73 and $4.94 per share,
respectively.

The
Company estimates the fair value of stock purchase rights granted under the
Company’s Stock Purchase Plan on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option valuation model.  The Company bases volatility on the expected
volatility of the Company’s stock during the accrual period.  The
Company uses historical data to estimate the expected holding period and
expected forfeitures and the U.S. Treasury yield for the risk-free interest rate
for the contractual period.





The
following table lists the values of the assumptions the Company used to
calculate stock compensation in the Stock Purchase Plan:

INCOME TAXES




Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes




Effective
July 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation
No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109(“FIN No. 48”).  FIN No. 48 prescribes a recognition threshold
and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a
company’s income tax return, and also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure, and transition.  FIN No. 48 utilizes a two-step approach
for evaluating uncertain tax positions accounted for in
accordance with SFAS No. 109,Accounting
for Income Taxes(“SFAS No.
109”).  Step one, Recognition, requires a company to determine
if the weight of available evidence indicates that a tax position is more likely
than not to be sustained upon audit, including resolution of related appeals or
litigation processes, if any.  Step two, Measurement, is based on the
largest amount of benefit which is more likely than not to be realized on
ultimate settlement.  The cumulative effect of adopting FIN No. 48 on
July 1, 2007 is recognized as a change in accounting principle, recorded as an
adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on the adoption
date.




As a
result of the implementation of FIN No. 48, the Company recognized no change in
the liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to tax positions taken in
prior periods.  All positions taken in its US and foreign returns with
respect to any book-tax adjustments were highly certain, and accordingly the
Company did not record any valuation adjustments against those
positions.  Upon adoption of FIN No. 48, the Company’s policy to
include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the
Company’s provision for income taxes did not change.  As of December
27, 2008, the Company had accrued $120,000 for any interest and penalties
related to unrecognized tax benefits.  The Company’s total amount of
unrecognized tax benefits as of December 27, 2008 was $898,000.  All
of this amount would affect the corporation’s tax rate if
recognized.  The tax years 2003 to 2007 remain open in the United
States.




Income
Tax Expense




Income
tax expense for the six months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007 was
$1.9 million and $4.0 million, respectively, and was comprised of domestic
federal and state income tax and foreign income and withholding
tax.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS





Effective
June 29, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
(“SFAS 157”). In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position
No. FAS 157-2, Effective
Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which provides a one year deferral
of the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and
non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the
financial statements at fair value at least annually (fair value of reporting
units for goodwill impairment tests, non-financial assets and liabilities
acquired in a business combination). Therefore we adopted the provisions of SFAS
157 with respect to our financial assets and liabilities only. SFAS 157 defines
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally
accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value
measurements. Fair value is defined under SFAS 157 as the exchange price that
would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price)
in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under SFAS 157 must maximize the
use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The
standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs that
may be used to measure fair value, of which the first two are considered
observable and the last is considered unobservable:




·
              
              Level
      1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
      liabilities.·
              
              Level
      2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or
      indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities;
      quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are
      observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for
      substantially the full term of the assets or
  liabilities.     20
  ·
                
                Level
      3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity
      and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or
      liabilities.




The
adoption of this statement with respect to our financial assets and liabilities
did not impact our consolidated results of operations and financial condition,
but requires additional disclosure for assets and liabilities measured at fair
value.  In accordance with SFAS 157, the following table represents our
fair value hierarchy for financial assets (cash equivalents and investments)
measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  Level 1 available-for-sale
investments are primarily comprised of investments in U.S. Treasury securities,
valued using market prices in active markets.  Level 2 investment
valuations are obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable
instruments. A majority of our investments are priced by pricing vendors and are
classified as Level 1 or Level 2 investments, as these vendors either provide a
quoted market price in an active market or use observable inputs.





Assets
measured at fair value as of December 27, 2008 are summarized as
follows:

Effective
June 29, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities(“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 allows an entity
the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent
measurement for specified financial assets and liabilities on a
contract-by-contract basis. We did not adopt the fair value option under SFAS
159.





The
Company’s investment in debt securities includes government securities,
commercial paper, corporate debt securities and mortgage-backed and asset-backed
securities. Government securities include federal agencies and municipal bonds.
Many of the municipal bonds are insured; those that are not are nearly all
AAA/Aaa rated. The corporate debt securities are all investment grade and nearly
all are single A-rated or better. The asset-backed securities are AAA/Aaa rated
and are backed by auto loans. Most of our mortgage-backed securities are
collateralized by prime residential mortgages issued by government agencies
including FNMA, FHLMC and FHLB. Those issued by banks are AAA-rated. At
December 27, 2008, unrealized losses on marketable securities were
$504,000. When assessing marketable securities for other-than-temporary declines
in value, we consider a number of factors. Our analyses of the severity and
duration of price declines, portfolio manager reports, economic forecasts and
the specific circumstances of issuers indicate that it is reasonable to expect
marketable securities with unrealized losses at December 27, 2008 to
recover in fair value up to our cost bases within a reasonable period of time.
We have the ability and intent to hold these investments until maturity, when
the obligors are required to redeem them at full face value or par, and we
believe the obligors have the financial resources to redeem the debt securities.
Accordingly, we do not consider our investments to be other-than-temporarily
impaired at December 27, 2008.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGE





During
the quarter ended December 27, 2008, the Company instituted a restructuring plan
to align its costs with prevailing market conditions. As part of the
restructuring plan, the Company reduced its workforce by 41 employees during the
quarter. Of the employees terminated, 24 were in operations, 6 in research and
development, 5 in sales and marketing, and 6 in general and administration. The
Company incurred $217,000 of restructuring charges during the quarter, as
compared with none in the same period of the prior year. At December 27, 2008,
$209,000 of the $217,000 had been paid with the balance expected to be paid
during the quarter ended March 28, 2009.

Item 2:
Management’s Discussion and Analysis


of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations





Pericom
Semiconductor Corporation





The
discussion below reflects the impact of our restatement as described in Note 17
of the Notes to the unaudited financial statements.





The
following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial
statements and notes thereto included in Part 1 - Item 1 of this Quarterly
Report and the audited financial statements and notes thereto and Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June
28, 2008 (the “Form 10-K”).





Factors
That May Affect Operating Results





This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange
Act.  All statements other than statements of historical fact are
“forward-looking statements” for purposes of these provisions, including any
statements regarding the Company’s expected third quarter revenues, the
Company’s total investment in the Jinan Hi-Tech Industries Development Zone, the
continuation of a high level of turns orders, higher levels of inventory, future
gross profit and gross margin; the plans and objectives of management for future
operations; the Company’s tax rate; the adequacy of allowances for returns,
price protection and other concessions; the sufficiency of cash generated from
operations and cash balances; the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk;
expectations regarding our R&D and SG&A expenses; and our possible
future acquisitions and assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. In some
cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology
such as “may,” “will,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “estimates,”
“potential,” or “continue,” or the negative thereof or other comparable
terminology. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in
the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, there can be no
assurance that such expectations or any of the forward-looking statements will
prove to be correct, and actual results could differ materially from those
projected or assumed in the forward-looking statements. The Company’s future
financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking
statements, are subject to risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to
the factors set forth (i) in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of Part II of this Form
10-Q, and (ii) in Note 1 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements. All forward-looking statements and reasons why results may differ
included in this Quarterly Report are made as of the date hereof, and the
Company assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statement or
reason why actual results may differ.

(1)
              Direct
      customers purchase products directly from the Company.  These
      include distributors and contract manufacturers that in turn sell to many
      end customers as well as OEMs that also purchase directly from the
      Company.





(2)
              End
      customers are OEMs whose products include the Company’s
      products.  End customers may purchase directly from the Company
      or from distributors or contract manufacturers.  We rely on the
      end customer data provided by our direct distribution and contract
      manufacturing customers to provide this
  information.





The
Company designs, develops and markets high-performance integrated circuits
(“ICs” or IC products) and frequency control products (“FCPs” or FCP products)
used in many of today's advanced electronic systems. Our IC products include
functions that support the connectivity, timing and signal conditioning of
high-speed parallel and serial protocols that transfer data among a system's
microprocessor, memory and various peripherals, such as displays and monitors,
and between interconnected systems. Our FCPs are electronic components that
provide frequency references such as crystals, oscillators, and hybrid timing
generation products for computer, communication and consumer electronic
products. Our analog, digital and mixed-signal ICs, together with our FCP
products enable higher system bandwidth and signal quality, resulting in better
operating reliability, signal integrity, and lower overall system cost in
applications such as notebook computers, servers, network switches and routers,
storage area networks, digital TVs, cell phones, GPS and digital media
players.

For the
three and six months ended December 27, 2008, as compared with the same periods
of the prior year, the percentage of our net revenues derived from sales to
Asian countries increased as a result of continued demand for technological
devices and an increasing concentration of contract manufacturing in those
regions. We expect our future sales to continue to grow, as a percentage of net
revenues, in Asian countries.





We
currently have a cautious outlook on our fiscal third quarter ending March 28,
2009 due to the challenging business environment and limited visibility on
end-market demands. We have also announced our expectation that fiscal third
quarter revenues will decline from the amount reported for the fiscal second
quarter. Our net revenue levels have been highly dependent on the number of new
orders that are received for products to be delivered to the customer within the
same quarter, also called “turns” orders.  Because of our lack of
visibility into demand when turns orders are high, it is difficult to predict
which products to build to match future demand.  We believe the current
high level of turns orders will continue indefinitely.  The
sustainability of customer demand is uncertain and our markets are highly
dependent on worldwide economic conditions.  The high level of turns orders
together with the uncertainty of product mix and pricing makes it difficult to
predict future levels of sales and may require us to carry higher levels of
inventory.

The
decrease in gross profit for the three and six month periods ended December 27,
2008 as compared with the same periods of the prior year was primarily due to
significant sales declines in the second quarter in all lines except connect IC
products.





Specifically,
the decrease in gross profit in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to
the second quarter of fiscal 2008 of $5.1 million is the result of:




·
              decreased
      sales of the FCP product family, which led to $1.0 million of decreased
      gross profit,·
              decreased
      sales of analog and digital switch, clock and silicon interface products,
      which led to $3.6 million of decreased gross profit,·
              margin
      declines which led to $1.9 million of decreased gross profit; partially
      offset by·
              sales
      growth in silicon connect IC products, which generated $1.4 million of
      increased gross profit.





With
respect to the decrease in gross profit in the first half of fiscal 2009 as
compared to the first half of fiscal 2008 of $3.1 million, the decrease is the
result of:


·
            decreased
      sales of the FCP product family, which led to $0.3 million of decreased
      gross profit,·
            decreased
      sales of analog and digital switch, clock and silicon interface products,
      which led to $4.1 of decreased gross profit,·
            margin
      declines which led to $2.0 million of decreased gross profit; partially
      offset by·
            sales
      growth in silicon connect IC products, which generated $3.3 million of
      increased gross profit;





Future
gross profit and gross margin are highly dependent on the level and product mix
of net revenues. This includes the mix of sales between lower margin FCP
products and our higher margin integrated circuit products.  Although
we have been successful at favorably improving our integrated circuit product
mix and penetrating new end markets, there can be no assurance that this will
continue. Accordingly, we are not able to predict future gross profit levels or
gross margins with certainty.





During
the three and six months ended December 27, 2008, gross profit and gross margin
benefited as a result of the sale of inventory of $14,000 and $77,000,
respectively, that we had  previously identified as excess and written
down to zero value, as compared with $328,000 and $590,000, respectively, for
the same periods of the prior year.

Research
and development expenses consist primarily of costs related to personnel and
overhead, non-recurring engineering charges, and other costs associated with the
design, prototyping, testing, manufacturing process design support, and
technical customer applications support of our products.  The $85,000
expense increase for the three month period ended December 27, 2008 as compared
to the same period of the prior year is primarily attributable to increased mask
costs of $100,000. The $224,000 expense increase for the six month period ended
December 27, 2008 as compared to the same period of the prior year is
attributable to increased share-based compensation expense of $308,000 partially
offset by reduced salary and benefits expense which decreased by
$134,000.

The
Company believes that continued spending on research and development to develop
new products and improve manufacturing processes is critical to the Company’s
success, and as a result expects to increase research and development expenses
in future periods over the long term.  In the short term, the Company
intends to continue to focus on cost control until business conditions
improve.  If business conditions deteriorate or the rate of
improvement does not meet our expectations, the Company may implement further
cost-cutting actions.

Selling,
general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and related
overhead costs for sales, marketing, finance, administration, human resources
and general management.  The expense decrease of $333,000 for the
three month period ended December 27, 2008 as compared to the same period of the
prior year is attributable to reduced salary and bonus costs of $87,000, reduced
sales representative commissions of $58,000, reduced samples and freight of
$112,000, and reduced accounting and legal fees of $67,000. The expense increase
of $729,000 for the six month period ended December 27, 2008 as compared to the
same period of the prior year is attributable to increased salary and benefits
costs of $252,000, increased share-based compensation expense of $192,000,
increased sales representative commissions of $114,000, and increased legal and
accounting expenses of $115,000.





The
Company anticipates that selling, general and administrative expenses will
increase in future periods over the long term due to increased staffing levels,
particularly in sales and marketing, as well as increased commission expense to
the extent the Company achieves higher sales levels.  The Company
intends to continue its focus on controlling costs.  If business
conditions deteriorate or the rate of improvement does not meet our
expectations, the Company may implement further cost-cutting
actions.

The
decrease in interest and other income for the three and six month periods ended
December 27, 2008 as compared with the same periods of the prior year was a
combination of lower invested balances and reduced rates of interest available
for cash and investments in financial assets in fiscal 2009.  The
Company was able to generate approximately $1.3 and $2.4 million of net interest
income for the three and six month periods ended December 27, 2008 as compared
with $1.6 and $3.0 million for the same periods of the prior year.

The
decrease in income tax expense for the three and six months ended December 27,
2008 over the same periods of the prior year is primarily due to the significant
decreases in income before income taxes in the second quarter as well as the
reinstatement of the research and development tax credit.





Our
effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to
state income taxes, the utilization of research and development tax credits,
stock-based compensation from incentive stock options, and differing tax rates
in income-earning jurisdictions.

Equity in
net income of unconsolidated affiliates includes our allocated portion of the
net income of Pericom Technology, Inc. (“PTI”), a British Virgin Islands
corporation based in Shanghai, People’s Republic of China and Hong Kong. Our
allocated portion of PTI’s results was a loss of $61,000 and $1,000 for the
three and six months ended December 27, 2008, respectively, as compared with
income of $124,000 and $177,000 for the same periods of the prior
year.





Equity in
net income of unconsolidated affiliates also includes the Company’s allocated
portion of the net income of Jiyuan Crystal Photoelectric Frequency Technology
Ltd. (“JCP”), an FCP manufacturing company located in Science Park of Jiyuan
City, Henan Province, China. JCP is a key manufacturing partner of SRe, and SRe
has acquired a 49% equity interest in JCP. For the three and six month periods
ended December 27, 2008, the Company’s allocated portion of JCP’s results were a
loss of $10,000 and income of $47,000, respectively, as compared with income of
$68,000 and $139,000 for the same periods of the prior year.





Liquidity
and Capital Resources





As of
December 27, 2008, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity included cash,
cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments of approximately
$115.9 million as compared with $123.9 million on June 28, 2008.





The
Company’s investment in debt securities includes government securities,
commercial paper, corporate debt securities and mortgage-backed and asset-backed
securities. Government securities include federal agencies and municipal bonds.
Many of the municipal bonds are insured; those that are not are nearly all
AAA/Aaa rated. The corporate debt securities are all investment grade and nearly
all are single A-rated or better. The asset-backed securities are AAA/Aaa rated
and are backed by auto loans. Most of our mortgage-backed securities are
collateralized by prime residential mortgages issued by government agencies
including FNMA, FHLMC and FHLB. Those issued by banks are AAA-rated. At
December 27, 2008, unrealized losses on marketable securities were $90,000.
When assessing marketable securities for other-than-temporary declines in value,
we consider a number of factors. Our analyses of the severity and duration of
price declines, portfolio manager reports, economic forecasts and the specific
circumstances of issuers indicate that it is reasonable to expect marketable
securities with unrealized losses at December 27, 2008 to recover in fair
value up to our cost bases within a reasonable period of time. We have the
ability and intent to hold these investments until maturity, when the obligors
are required to redeem them at full face value or par, and we believe the
obligors have the financial resources to redeem the debt securities.
Accordingly, we do not consider our investments to be other-than-temporarily
impaired at December 27, 2008.


28


As of
December 27, 2008, $26.9 million was classified as cash and cash equivalents
compared with $41.6 million as of June 28, 2008.  The maturities of
the Company’s short term investments are staggered throughout the year so that
cash requirements are met.  Because the Company is a fabless
semiconductor manufacturer, it has lower capital equipment requirements than
other semiconductor manufacturers that own wafer fabrication
facilities.  For the six month period ended December 27, 2008, the
Company spent approximately $8.8 million on property and equipment compared to
$5.4 million for the six month period ended December 29, 2007.  The
Company generated approximately $2.4 million of interest and other income, net
for the six month period ended December 27, 2008, an approximate $600,000
decrease from the $3.0 million of interest and other income, net for the six
month period ended December 29, 2007. The decrease in interest and other income,
net was due to a combination of lower invested balances and reduced rates of
interest available for cash and investments in financial assets in fiscal
2009.  In the longer term the Company may generate less interest
income if its total invested balance decreases and these decreases are not
offset by rising interest rates or increased cash generated from operations or
other sources.





The
Company’s net cash provided by operating activities of $5.9 million for the six
months ended December 27, 2008 was primarily the result of net income of $4.8
million, non-cash expenses of $3.8 million in depreciation and amortization and
$1.7 million of share-based compensation expense, partially offset by a $625,000
increase in net deferred taxes and a $495,000 gain on sale of investments
in marketable securities. Additional contributions to cash included a $751,000
decrease in accounts receivable and a $914,000 decrease in prepaid and other
current assets. Partially offsetting these were a $1.9 million decrease in
accounts payable, a $2.3 million increase in inventory and a $1.2 million
decrease in other current liabilities. The Company’s net cash provided by
operating activities was $ 3.7 million in the six months ended December 29,
2007.





Generally,
as sales levels fall, the Company expects inventories, accounts receivable and
accounts payable to decrease.  However, there will be routine
fluctuations in these accounts from period to period that may be significant in
amount.





The
Company’s cash used in investing activities of $17.2 million for the six months
ended December 27, 2008 was primarily due to the Company’s additions to property
and equipment of approximately $8.8 million as well as purchases of short term
investments exceeding sales and maturities of short-term investments by
approximately $6.9 million and $1.3 million paid for the acquisition of PTL’s
minority interest. The Company’s cash used in investing activities was $26.1
million for the six months ended December 29, 2007.





The
Company’s cash used in financing activities for the six months ended December
27, 2008 of $2.6 million was the result of repurchases of the Company’s common
stock at a cost of $5.0 million, partially offset by $1.7 million of mortgage
financing by a wholly-owned subsidiary and $740,000 in proceeds generated from
the issuance of common stock in the Company’s employee stock plans. The Company
generated $1.8 million in cash from financing activities for the six months
ended December 29, 2007.





A portion
of our cash may be used to acquire or invest in complementary businesses or
products or to obtain the right to use complementary
technologies.  From time to time, in the ordinary course of business,
we may evaluate potential acquisitions of such businesses, products or
technologies.





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 efforts, the timing of
our introductions of new products, the costs to ensure access to adequate
manufacturing capacity, and the continuing market acceptance of our products. 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. We believe our current cash balances and cash
flows generated by operations will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated cash
needs for working capital and capital expenditures.





Contractual
Obligations and Commitments





The
Company leases certain facilities under operating leases with termination dates
on or before December 2013.  Generally, these leases have multiple
options to extend for a period of years upon termination of the original lease
term or previously exercised option to extend.


29




PTL took
out a 15-year mortgage on its building in December 2008 in the amount of $1.7
million. The debt carries a variable rate of interest at the 1-year time deposit
rate plus 0.64% for the first two years and plus 1.34% afterwards. The loan is
denominated in New Taiwanese Dollars and only interest is required to be paid
for the first 12 months.

Jinan
Cooperation Agreement





On
January 26, 2008, the Company entered into a Cooperation Agreement with the
Jinan Hi-Tech Industries Development Zone Commission (the “Commission”) in the
People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) for the Company’s investment in the Jinan
Hi-Tech Industries Development Zone (the “Zone”) that is located in Shandong
Province, PRC. Under the Cooperation Agreement, the Company will, through a
wholly-owned Hong Kong subsidiary, Pericom Asia Ltd., build a factory in the
Zone for the development and manufacturing of frequency control products. It is
expected that the Company’s total gross investment will be approximately $35
million over the next few years. We have land use rights
for 75 acres, and the factory is being designed for 13 surface mount device
(SMD) production lines. Phase I consists of an administration building, workers
dormitory and fabrication plant, and is scheduled for completion late in fiscal
2009 at an estimated cost of approximately $15 million. We have included the
Phase I commitments in the above contractual obligations and commitments table,
but the timing of subsequent development is uncertain at this
time.





Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements





The
Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements, defined by Regulation S-K item
303(a)(4), other than operating leases.





Critical
Accounting Policies





Our
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.  The preparation of such statements requires us to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period and the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements.  Our estimates
are based on historical experience and other assumptions that we consider to be
reasonable given the circumstances.  Actual results may vary from our
estimates.





The
methods, estimates and judgments the Company uses in applying its most critical
accounting policies have a significant impact on the results the Company reports
in its financial statements. The Securities and Exchange Commission has defined
the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the
portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and
require the Company to make its most difficult and subjective accounting
judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are
inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, the Company’s most critical
accounting policies include revenue recognition and accounts receivable
allowances, which impact the recording of revenues; valuation of inventories,
which impacts costs of goods sold and gross margins; accounting for income
taxes, which impacts the income tax provision and net
income;  impairment of goodwill, other intangible assets and
investments, which impacts the goodwill, intangible asset and investment
accounts; and stock-based compensation, which impacts costs of goods sold and
operating expenses. These policies and the estimates and judgments involved are
discussed further below.





REVENUE
RECOGNITION. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products
upon shipment, provided title and risk of loss has passed to the customer, the
price is fixed or determinable and collection of the revenue is reasonably
assured.  A provision for estimated future returns and other charges
against revenue is recorded at the time of shipment.  For the six
months ended December 27, 2008 the majority of the Company’s revenues were from
sales to distributors.


30


The
Company sells products to large, domestic distributors at the price listed in
its price book for that distributor. The Company recognizes revenue at the time
of shipment. At the time of sale the Company books a sales reserve for ship from
stock and debits (“SSD”s), stock rotations, return material authorizations
(“RMA”s), authorized price protection programs, and any special programs
approved by management. The sales reserve is offset against revenues, which then
leads to the net revenue amount reported.





The
market price for the Company’s products can be significantly different from the
book price at which the product was sold to the distributor. When the market
price, as compared with the book price, of a particular sales opportunity from
the distributor to their customer would result in low or negative margins to the
distributor, a ship from stock and debit is negotiated with the distributor. SSD
history is analyzed and used to develop SSD rates that form the basis of the SSD
sales reserve booked each period.  The Company captures these
historical SSD rates from its historical records to estimate the ultimate net
sales price to the distributor.





The
Company’s distribution agreements provide for semi-annual stock rotation
privileges of typically 10% of net sales for the previous six-month period. The
contractual stock rotation applies only to shipments at book price. Asian
distributors typically buy the Company’s product at less than book price and
therefore are not entitled to the 10% stock rotation privilege. In order to
provide for routine inventory refreshing, for the Company’s benefit as well as
theirs, the Company grants Asian distributors stock rotation privileges between
1% and 5% even though the Company is not contractually obligated to do so. Each
month a sales reserve is recorded for the estimated stock rotation privilege
earned by the distributors that month. This reserve is the sum of product of
each distributor’s net sales for the month and their stock rotation
percentage.





From time
to time, customers may request to return parts for various reasons including the
customers’ belief that the parts are not performing to specification. Many such
return requests are the result of customers incorrectly using the parts, not
because the parts are defective. These requests are reviewed by management and
when approved result in a return material authorization (RMA) being established.
The Company is only obligated to accept returns of defective parts. For customer
convenience, the Company may approve a particular return request even though it
is not obligated to do so. Each month a sales reserve is recorded for the
approved RMAs that have not yet been returned.  The Company does not
keep a general warranty reserve because historically valid warranty returns,
which are the result of a part not meeting specifications or being
non-functional, have been immaterial and parts can frequently be re-sold to
other customers for use in other applications.





Price
protection is granted solely at the discretion of Pericom management. The
purpose of price protection is to reduce the distributor’s cost of inventory as
market prices fall, thus reducing SSD rates.  Pericom sales management
prepares price protection proposals for individual products located at
individual distributors. Pericom general management reviews these proposals and
if a particular price protection arrangement is approved, the dollar impact will
be estimated based on the book price reduction per unit for the products
approved and the number of units of those products in the distributor’s
inventory. A sales reserve is then recorded in that period for the estimated
amount in accordance with Issue 4 of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 01-09,
Accounting for Consideration
Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s
Products).





At the
discretion of Pericom management, the Company may offer rebates on specific
products sold to specific end customers. The purpose of the rebates is to allow
for pricing adjustments for large programs without affecting the pricing the
Company charges its distributor customers.  The rebate is recorded at
the time of shipment.





Customers
are typically granted payment terms of between 30 and 60 days and they generally
pay within those terms.  Relatively few customers have been granted
terms with cash discounts.  Distributors are invoiced for shipments at
book price.  When they pay those invoices, they claim debits for SSDs,
stock rotations, cash discounts, RMAs and price protection when appropriate.
Once claimed, these debits are then processed against the
approvals.


31


The
revenue the Company records for sales to its distributors is net of estimated
provisions for these programs. When determining this net revenue, the Company
must make significant judgments and estimates. The Company’s estimates are based
on historical experience rates, inventory levels in the distribution channel,
current trends and other related factors.  However, because of the
inherent nature of estimates, there is a risk that there could be significant
differences between actual amounts and the Company’s estimates. The Company’s
financial condition and operating results depend on its ability to make reliable
estimates and management believes such estimates are reasonable.





PRODUCT WARRANTY.The Company offers a standard one-year product replacement
warranty.  In the past the Company has not had to accrue for a general
warranty reserve, but assesses the level and materiality of RMAs and determines
whether it is appropriate to accrue for estimated returns of defective products
at the time revenue is recognized. On occasion, management may determine to
accept product returns beyond the standard one-year warranty period. In those
instances, the Company accrues for the estimated cost at the time the decision
to accept the return is made.  As a consequence of the Company’s
standardized manufacturing processes and product testing procedures, returns of
defective product are infrequent and the quantities have not been
significant.  Accordingly, historical warranty costs have not been
material.





SHIPPING
COSTS.  Shipping costs are charged to cost of revenues as
incurred.





INVENTORIES. Inventories are recorded at
the lower of standard cost (which generally approximates actual cost on a
first-in, first-out basis) or market value.  We adjust the carrying
value of inventory for excess and obsolete inventory based on inventory age,
shipment history and our forecast of demand over a specific future period of
time. Raw material inventory is considered obsolete and written off if it has
not moved in 365 days.  The Company reviews its assembled devices for
excess and writes them off if the quantity of assembled devices in inventory is
in excess of the greater of the quantity shipped in the previous twelve months,
the quantity in backlog or the quantity forecasted to be shipped in the
following twelve months.In certain
circumstances, management will determine, based on expected usage or other
factors, that inventory considered obsolete by these guidelines should not be
written off. The Company does occasionally determine that the last twelve
months’ sales levels will not continue and reserves inventory in line with the
quantity forecasted. The
semiconductor markets that we serve are volatile and actual results may vary
from our forecast or other assumptions, potentially impacting our assessment of
excess and obsolete inventory and resulting in material effects on our gross
margin.





IMPAIRMENT OF
INTANGIBLE ASSETS.The Company performs an
impairment review of its intangible assets at least annually, in conformity with
SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets. Based on the results of its most recent
impairment review, the Company determined that no impairment of its intangible
assets existed as of June 28, 2008. However, future impairment reviews could
result in a charge to earnings.





INVESTMENTS.
We have made investments including loans, bridge loans convertible to equity, or
asset purchases as well as direct equity investments. These loans and
investments are made with strategic intentions and have been in privately held
technology companies, which by their nature are high risk. These investments are
included in other assets in the balance sheet and are carried at the lower of
cost, or market if the investment has experienced an other-than-temporary
decline in value. We monitor these investments quarterly and make appropriate
reductions in carrying value if a decline in value is deemed to be other than
temporary.





DEFERRED TAX
ASSETS. The Company’s deferred income tax assets represent temporary
differences between the financial statement carrying amount and the tax basis of
existing assets and liabilities that will result in deductible amounts in future
years, including net operating loss carryforwards. Based on estimates, the
carrying value of our net deferred tax assets assumes that it is more likely
than not that the Company will be able to generate sufficient future taxable
income in certain tax jurisdictions. Our judgments regarding future
profitability may change due to future market conditions, changes in U.S. or
international tax laws and other factors. If, in the future, the Company
experiences losses for a sustained period of time, the Company may not be able
to conclude that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to
generate sufficient future taxable income to realize our deferred tax assets. If
this occurs, the Company may be required to increase the valuation allowance
against the deferred tax assets resulting in additional income tax
expense.

ITEM
3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK





At
December 27, 2008 our investment portfolio consisted of investment-grade fixed
income securities, excluding those classified as cash equivalents, of $89.0
million.  These securities are subject to interest rate risk and will
decline in value if market interest rates increase. However, we do not believe
that such a decrease would have a material effect on our results of operations
over the next fiscal year.  Due to the short duration and conservative
nature of these instruments, we do not believe that we have a material exposure
to interest rate risk.





When the
general economy weakens significantly, as it has recently, the credit profile,
financial strength and growth prospects of certain issuers of interest-bearing
securities held in our investment portfolios may deteriorate, and our
interest-bearing securities may lose value either temporarily or other than
temporarily. We may implement investment strategies of different types with
varying duration and risk/return trade-offs that do not perform well. At
December 27, 2008, we held a significant portion of our corporate cash in
diversified portfolios of investment-grade marketable securities, mortgage- and
asset-backed securities, and other securities that have been affected by recent
credit market concerns and had unrealized losses of $90,000. Although we
consider these unrealized losses to be temporary, there is a risk that we may
incur other-than-temporary impairment charges or realized losses on the values
of these and other similarly affected securities if U.S. credit and equity
markets do not stabilize and recover to previous levels in the coming
quarters.





The
Company transacts business in various non-U.S. currencies, primarily the New
Taiwan Dollar. The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates on accounts receivable from sales in these foreign currencies and
the net monetary assets and liabilities of the related foreign
subsidiary.  A hypothetical 10% favorable or unfavorable change in
foreign currency exchange rates would have a material impact on our financial
position or results of operations.





ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES





Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures





We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the
Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and
forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.





At the
time that our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended
December 27, 2008 was originally filed, our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures and concluded that as of the end of such period, our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective.





In
connection with the restatement discussed above in Note 2 to our consolidated
financial statements in Item 1 of this amended report, our management, with
the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer reevaluated our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that
reevaluation and solely as a result of the material weaknesses in our internal
control over financial reporting described below, our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer have now concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective as of December 27, 2008.





Notwithstanding
the material weaknesses that existed at December 27, 2008, management believes,
based on its knowledge, that our restated consolidated financial statements and
other financial information included in this report, fairly present, in all
material respects in accordance with GAAP, our financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in this
report.


33


Material
Weakness





In
connection with the matters described above, our company’s management identified
and reported to our Audit Committee the following control deficiencies, each of
which constitutes a material weakness in our internal control over financial
reporting as of December 27, 2008:





·
            The
      Company concluded that certain controls over period-end inventory
      accounting did not operate with sufficient precision. Misstatements were
      detected relating to inventory valuation and inventory reserves. In
      addition, the Company’s new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system,
      which was implemented in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, contained
      programming errors that caused certain inventory items to be incorrectly
      valued.





·
            The
      Company did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with an
      appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience and training in the
      application of generally accepted accounting principles commensurate with
      the Company’s financial reporting requirements. As a result, the Company
      concluded that controls over the financial statement close process related
      to account reconciliations and analyses, including investment accounts,
      accounts receivable reserves, inventories, accounts payable and accrued
      liabilities, were not effective.





As a
result of these misstatements, we have concluded that we did not maintain
effective controls as of December 27, 2008 over financial reporting. Our
processes, procedures and controls were not effective to ensure that the these
amounts were accurately reflected in our consolidated financial statements as of
and for the period ended December 27, 2008 as previously reported. This control
deficiency resulted in the restatement of our December 27, 2008 financial
statements by a material amount. Therefore, we concluded that this control
deficiency, as of December 27, 2008, constitutes a material
weakness.




We intend
to remediate these material weaknesses by making a number of improvements to our
finance department, including the implementation of improved processes and
systems, as well as additions to and upgrades of key finance personnel. We also
plan to review our training and oversight policies and re-examine our
documentation and review procedures as soon as is reasonably practical. We also
intend to engage the help of outside consultants to revamp the processes in the
cost module of the ERP system. We may also consider implementing other
remediation measures.





Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting





Other
than as noted above in this Item 4, there has been no change in our
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the quarter covered by
this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.





PART
II.  OTHER INFORMATION





Item
1A: Risk Factors




This
quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements which involve
risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated by such forward-looking statement as a result of various factors,
including those set forth below. The listing below includes any material changes
to and supersedes the description of the risk factors affecting our business
previously disclosed in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2008.





FACTORS
THAT MAY AFFECT OPERATING RESULTS`





In
the past, our operating results have varied significantly and are likely to
fluctuate in the future.





We
currently have a cautious outlook on our fiscal third quarter ending March 28,
2009, due to the challenging business environment and limited visibility on
end-market demands. We have also announced our expectation that fiscal third
quarter revenues will decline from the amount reported for the fiscal second
quarter.


34


Wide
varieties of factors affect our operating results. These factors include the
following:





·
              changes
      in the quantity of our products
sold;


·
            changes
      in the average selling price of our
  products;


·
            general
      conditions in the semiconductor
industry;


·
            changes
      in our product mix;


·
            a
      change in the gross margins of our
  products;


·
            the
      operating results of the FCP product line, which normally has a lower
      profit margin than IC
products;


·
            expenses
      incurred in obtaining, enforcing, and defending intellectual property
      rights;


·
            the
      timing of new product introductions and announcements by us and by our
      competitors;


·
            customer
      acceptance of new products introduced by
  us;


·
            delay
      or decline in orders received from
  distributors;


·
            growth
      or reduction in the size of the market for interface
      ICs;


·
            the
      availability of manufacturing capacity with our wafer
      suppliers;


·
            changes
      in manufacturing costs;


·
            fluctuations
      in manufacturing yields;


·
            disqualification
      by our customers for quality or performance related
      issues;


·
            the
      ability of customers to pay us;
and


·
            increased
      research and development expenses associated with new product
      introductions or process
changes.





All of
these factors are difficult to forecast and could seriously harm our operating
results.  Our expense levels are based in part on our expectations
regarding future sales and are largely fixed in the short
term.  Therefore, we may be unable to reduce our expenses fast enough
to compensate for any unexpected shortfall in sales.  Any significant
decline in demand relative to our expectations or any material delay of customer
orders could harm our operating results.  In addition, if our
operating results in future quarters fall below public market analysts' and
investors' expectations, the market price of our common stock would likely
decrease.





The
demand for our products depends on the growth of our end users'
markets.





Our
continued success depends in large part on the continued growth of markets for
the products into which our semiconductor and frequency control products are
incorporated.  These markets include the following:





·
            computers
      and computer related peripherals;


·
            data
      communications and telecommunications
equipment;


·
            electronic
      commerce and the Internet; and


·
            consumer
      electronics equipment.





Any
decline in the demand for products in these markets could seriously harm our
business, financial condition and operating results.  These markets
have also historically experienced significant fluctuations in
demand.  We may also be seriously harmed by slower growth in the other
markets in which we sell our products.


35


Our
earnings are subject to substantial quarterly and annual fluctuations and to
adverse economic conditions and market downturns





Our
revenues and earnings have fluctuated significantly in the past and may
fluctuate significantly in the future. General economic or other conditions
could cause a downturn in the market for our products or technology. The recent
financial disruption affecting the banking system and financial markets and the
concern as to whether investment banks and other financial institutions will
continue operations in the foreseeable future have resulted in a tightening in
the credit markets, a low level of liquidity in many financial markets and
extreme volatility in fixed income, credit and equity markets. In addition to
the potential impact on our marketable securities portfolio, there could be a
number of follow-on effects from the credit crisis on our business that could
also adversely affect our operating results. The credit crisis may result in the
insolvency of key suppliers resulting in product delays; the inability of our
customers to obtain credit to finance purchases of our products and/or customer
insolvencies that cause our customers to change delivery schedules, cancel or
reduce orders; a slowdown in global economies which could result in lower
end-user demand for our products; and increased impairments of our investments.
Net investment income could vary from expectations depending on the gains or
losses realized on the sale or exchange of securities, gains or losses from
equity method investments, and impairment charges related to marketable
securities. Our cash and marketable securities investments represent significant
assets that may be subject to fluctuating or even negative returns depending
upon interest rate movements and financial market conditions in fixed income
securities. The current volatility in the financial markets and overall economic
uncertainty increase the risk of substantial quarterly and annual fluctuations
in our earnings.





If
we do not develop products that our customers and end-users design into their
products, or if their products do not sell successfully, our business and
operating results would be harmed.





We have
relied in the past and continue to rely upon our relationships with our
customers and end-users for insights into product development strategies for
emerging system requirements.  We generally incorporate new products
into a customer's or end-user's product or system at the design
stage.  However, these design efforts, which can often require
significant expenditures by us, may precede product sales, if any, by a year or
more.  Moreover, the value to us of any design win will depend in
large part on the ultimate success of the customer or end-user's product and on
the extent to which the system's design accommodates components manufactured by
our competitors.  If we fail to achieve design wins or if the design
wins fail to result in significant future revenues, our operating results would
be harmed.  If we have problems developing or maintaining our
relationships with our customers and end-users, our ability to develop
well-accepted new products may be impaired.





The
markets for our products are characterized by rapidly changing technology, and
our financial results could be harmed if we do not successfully develop and
implement new manufacturing technologies or develop, introduce and sell new
products.





The
markets for our products are characterized by rapidly changing technology,
frequent new product introductions and declining selling prices over product
life cycles.  We currently offer a comprehensive portfolio of silicon
and quartz based products.  Our future success depends upon the timely
completion and introduction of new products, across all our product lines, at
competitive price and performance levels.  The success of new products
depends on a variety of factors, including the following:





·
            product
      performance and functionality;


·
            customer
      acceptance;


·
            competitive
      cost structure and pricing;


·
            successful
      and timely completion of product
development;


·
            sufficient
      wafer fabrication capacity; and


·
            achievement
      of acceptable manufacturing yields by our wafer
  suppliers.





We may
also experience delays, difficulty in procuring adequate fabrication capacity
for the development and manufacture of new products, or other difficulties in
achieving volume production of these products.  Even relatively minor
errors may significantly affect the development and manufacture of new
products.  If we fail to complete and introduce new products in a
timely manner at competitive price and performance levels, our business would be
significantly harmed.





Intense
competition in the semiconductor industry may reduce the demand for our products
or the prices of our products, which could reduce our revenues and gross
profits.





The
semiconductor industry is intensely competitive. Our competitors include Analog
Devices, Cypress Semiconductor Corporation, Fairchild Semiconductor, Int'l.,
Hitachi, Integrated Device Technology, Inc., Intel Corp., Maxim Integrated
Products, Inc., Motorola, On Semiconductor Corp., Tundra Semiconductor Corp.,
PLX Technology, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments, Inc., and Toshiba. Most
of those competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing,
distribution and other resources, broader product lines and longer-standing
customer relationships than we do. We also compete with other major or emerging
companies that sell products to certain segments of our markets. Competitors
with greater financial resources or broader product lines may have a greater
ability to sustain price reductions in our primary markets in order to gain or
maintain  market share.


36


We
believe that our future success will depend on our ability to continue to
improve and develop our products and processes.  Unlike us, many of
our competitors maintain internal manufacturing capacity for the fabrication and
assembly of semiconductor products.  This ability may provide them
with more reliable manufacturing capability, shorter development and
manufacturing cycles and time-to-market advantages.  In addition,
competitors with their own wafer fabrication facilities that are capable of
producing products with the same design geometries as ours may be able to
manufacture and sell competitive products at lower prices.  Any
introduction of products by our competitors that are manufactured with improved
process technology could seriously harm our business. As is typical in the
semiconductor industry, our competitors have developed and marketed products
that function similarly or identically to ours.  If our products do
not achieve performance, price, size or other advantages over products offered
by our competitors, our products may lose market share. Competitive pressures
could also reduce market acceptance of our products, reduce our prices and
increase our expenses.





We also
face competition from the makers of ASICs and other system devices. These
devices may include interface logic functions which may eliminate the need or
sharply reduce the demand for our products in particular
applications.





Our
results of operations have been adversely affected by the global economic
slowdowns in the past.





In the
past, the global economy has experienced economic slowdowns that were due to
many factors, including decreased consumer confidence, unemployment, the threat
of terrorism, and reduced corporate profits and capital spending. These
unfavorable conditions have resulted in significant declines in our new customer
order rates. Any future global economic slowing may materially and adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.





Currently
there is a general slowdown in the global economy and it may last for an
unpredictable period with adverse impacts on credit availability, ability of our
company and our customers to maintain or grow revenues and profits, and end-user
demand across our customer base.





Downturns
in the semiconductor industry, rapidly changing technology, accelerated selling
price erosion and evolving industry standards can harm our operating
results.





The
semiconductor industry has historically been cyclical and periodically subject
to significant economic downturns—characterized by diminished product demand,
accelerated erosion of selling prices and overcapacity—as well as rapidly
changing technology and evolving industry standards. In the future, we may
experience substantial period-to-period fluctuations in our business and
operating results due to general semiconductor industry conditions, overall
economic conditions or other factors.  Our business is also subject to
the risks associated with the effects of legislation and regulations relating to
the import or export of semiconductor products.





Our
potential future acquisitions may not be successful.





Our
potential future acquisitions could result in the following:





·
            large
      one-time write-offs;


·
            the
      difficulty in integrating newly-acquired businesses and operations in an
      efficient and effective manner;


·
            the
      challenges  in achieving strategic objectives, cost savings, and
      other benefits from acquisitions as
anticipated;


·
            the
      risk of diverting the attention of senior management from other business
      concerns;


·
            risks
      of entering geographic and business markets in which we have no or limited
      prior experience and potential loss of key employees of acquired
      organizations;


·
            the
      risk that our markets do not evolve as anticipated and that the
      technologies and capabilities acquired do not prove to be those needed to
      be successful in those markets;


37


·
            potentially
      dilutive issuances of equity
securities;


·
            the
      incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities or amortization expenses
      related to intangible assets;


·
            difficulties
      in the assimilation of operations, personnel, technologies, products and
      the information systems of the acquired companies;
  and


·
            difficulties
      in expanding information technology systems and other business processes
      to accommodate the acquired
businesses.





As part
of our business strategy, we expect to seek acquisition prospects that would
complement our existing product offerings, improve our market coverage or
enhance our technological capabilities.  Although we are evaluating
acquisition and strategic investment opportunities on an ongoing basis, we may
not be able to locate suitable acquisition or investment
opportunities.  In addition, from time to time, we invest in other
companies, without actually acquiring them, and such investments involve many of
the same risks as are involved with acquisitions.





The
trading price of our common stock and our operating results are likely to
fluctuate substantially in the future.





The
trading price of our common stock has been and is likely to continue to be
highly volatile.  Our stock price could fluctuate widely in response
to factors some of which are not within our control, including:





·
            general
      conditions in the semiconductor and electronic systems
      industries;


·
            quarter-to-quarter
      variations in operating results;


·
            announcements
      of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors;
      and


·
            changes
      in earnings estimates by analysts; and price and volume fluctuations in
      the overall stock market, which have particularly affected the market
      prices of many high technology
companies.




Implementation
of FASB rules for the accounting of equity instruments and the issuance of new
laws or other accounting regulations, or reinterpretation of existing laws or
regulations, could materially impact our business or stated
results.





Statement
of Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R) Share-Based Payments required
the Company to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for
awards of equity instruments, based on the grant date fair value of those
awards, in the financial statements. The adoption of this statement resulted in
a negative impact on the Company’s reported results of operations. In general,
from time to time, the government, courts and the financial accounting boards
may issue new laws or accounting regulations, or modify or reinterpret existing
ones. There may be future changes in laws, interpretations or regulations that
would affect our financial results or the way in which we present them.
Additionally, changes in the laws or regulations could have adverse effects on
hiring and many other aspects of our business that would affect our ability to
compete, both nationally and internationally.





We
and our independent registered public accounting firm previously determined that
we had material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting,
that have since been remediated. There can be no assurance that a material
weakness will not arise in the future. Should such a material weakness arise,
current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial
reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our
stock.





Under
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to evaluate and
determine the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In
our annual reports on Form 10-K for the years ended June 30, 2007 and July 2,
2005 we reported material weaknesses in our internal control over financial
reporting. We have since remediated these deficiencies and continue to spend a
significant amount of time and resources to ensure compliance with Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to maintain internal control over financial
reporting. As reported in Item 9A of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended
June 28, 2008, our management does not believe we had any material weakness in
our internal control over financial reporting as of June 28, 2008, and
management has determined that as of June 28, 2008, our internal control over
financial reporting was effective. However, considering we will continue to
evolve our business in a changing marketplace and will continue to make
corresponding changes in our internal control in financial reporting, there can
be no assurance that material weaknesses or significant deficiencies will not
arise in the future. Should we or our independent registered public accounting
firm determine in future periods that we have a material weakness in our
internal control over financial reporting, the reliability of our financial
reports may be impacted or impaired, and investors could lose confidence in the
accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse
effect on our stock price.


38


Customer
demand for the Company’s products is volatile and difficult to
predict.
 
 The
Company’s customers continuously adjust their inventories in response to changes
in end market demand for their products and the availability of semiconductor
components. This results in frequent changes in demand for the Company’s
products. The volatility of customer demand limits the Company’s ability to
predict future levels of sales and profitability. The supply of semiconductors
can quickly and unexpectedly match or exceed demand because end customer demand
can change very quickly. Also, semiconductor suppliers can rapidly increase
production output. This can lead to a sudden oversupply situation and a
subsequent reduction in order rates and revenues as customers adjust their
inventories to true demand rates. A rapid and sudden decline in customer demand
for the Company’s products can result in excess quantities of certain of the
Company’s products relative to demand. In this event, the Company’s operating
results might be adversely affected as a result of charges to reduce the
carrying value of the Company’s inventory to the estimated demand level or
market price.
 
 Changes
to environmental laws and regulations applicable to manufacturers of electrical
and electronic equipment are causing us to redesign our products, and may
increase our costs and expose us to liability.
 
 The
implementation of new environmental regulatory legal requirements, such as lead
free initiatives, may affect our product designs and manufacturing processes.
The impact of such regulations on our product designs and manufacturing
processes could affect the timing of compliant product introductions as well as
their commercial success. Redesigning our products to comply with new
regulations may result in increased research and development and manufacturing
and quality control costs.  In addition, the products we manufacture
that comply with new regulatory standards may not perform as well as our current
products. Moreover, if we are unable to successfully and timely redesign
existing products and introduce new products that meet new standards set by
environmental regulation and our customers, sales of our products could decline,
which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
 
 Our
contracts with our wafer suppliers do not obligate them to a minimum supply or
set prices.  Any inability or unwillingness of our wafer suppliers
generally, and Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd. and MagnaChip
Semiconductor, Inc. in particular, to meet our manufacturing requirements would
delay our production and product shipments and harm our business.
 
 In recent
years, we purchased approximately 80 to 90% of our wafers from MagnaChip and
Chartered, with the balance coming from three to six other suppliers. Our
reliance on independent wafer suppliers to fabricate our wafers at their
production facilities subjects us to possible risks such as:
 
 ·
              lack
      of adequate capacity;
 ·
              lack
      of available manufactured products;
 ·
              lack
      of control over delivery schedules;
and
 ·
              unanticipated
      changes in wafer prices.
 
 Any
inability or unwillingness of our wafer suppliers generally, and Chartered and
MagnaChip in particular, to provide adequate quantities of finished wafers to
meet our needs in a timely manner would delay our production and product
shipments and seriously harm our business. In March 2004, Chartered shut down
one of their production facilities that was used to manufacture our products. We
transitioned the production of these products to different facilities. The
transfer of production of our products to other facilities subjects us to the
above listed risks as well as potential yield or other production problems,
which could arise as a result of any change.
  39
 
 At
present, we purchase wafers from our suppliers through the issuance of purchase
orders based on our rolling six-month forecasts.  The purchase orders
are subject to acceptance by each wafer supplier.  We do not have
long-term supply contracts that obligate our suppliers to a minimum supply or
set prices.  We also depend upon our wafer suppliers to participate in
process improvement efforts, such as the transition to finer
geometries.  If our suppliers are unable or unwilling to do so, our
development and introduction of new products could be
delayed.  Furthermore, sudden shortages of raw materials or production
capacity constraints can lead wafer suppliers to allocate available capacity to
customers other than us or for the suppliers' internal uses, interrupting our
ability to meet our product delivery obligations.  Any significant
interruption in our wafer supply would seriously harm our operating results and
our customer relations.  Our reliance on independent wafer suppliers
may also lengthen the development cycle for our products, providing
time-to-market advantages to our competitors that have in-house fabrication
capacity.
 
 In the
event that our suppliers are unable or unwilling to manufacture our key products
in required volumes, we will have to identify and qualify additional wafer
foundries.  The qualification process can take up to six months or
longer.  Furthermore, we are unable to predict whether additional
wafer foundries will become available to us or will be in a position to satisfy
any of our requirements on a timely basis.
 
 We
depend on single or limited source assembly subcontractors with whom we do not
have written contracts.  Any inability or unwillingness of our
assembly subcontractors to meet our assembly requirements would delay our
product shipments and harm our business.
 
 We
primarily rely on foreign subcontractors for the assembly and packaging of our
products and, to a lesser extent, for the testing of finished
products.  Some of these subcontractors are our single source supplier
for some of our new packages.  In addition, changes in our or a
subcontractor's business could cause us to become materially dependent on a
single subcontractor.  We have from time to time experienced
difficulties in the timeliness and quality of product deliveries from our
subcontractors and may experience similar or more severe difficulties in the
future.  We generally purchase these single or limited source
components or services pursuant to purchase orders and have no guaranteed
arrangements with these subcontractors.  These subcontractors could
cease to meet our requirements for components or services, or there could be a
significant disruption in supplies from them, or degradation in the quality of
components or services supplied by them.  Any circumstance that would
require us to qualify alternative supply sources could delay shipments, result
in the loss of customers and limit or reduce our revenues.
 
 We
may have difficulty accurately predicting revenues for future
periods.
 
 Our
expense levels are based in part on anticipated future revenue levels, which can
be difficult to predict.  Our business is characterized by short-term
orders and shipment schedules.  We do not have long-term purchase
agreements with any of our customers, and customers can typically cancel or
reschedule their orders without significant penalty.  We typically
plan production and inventory levels based on forecasts of customer demand
generated with input from customers and sales
representatives.  Customer demand is highly unpredictable and can
fluctuate substantially.  If customer demand falls significantly below
anticipated levels, our gross profit would be reduced.
 
 We
compete with others to attract and retain key personnel, and any loss of or
inability to attract key personnel would harm us.
 
 To a
greater degree than non-technology companies, our future success will depend on
the continued contributions of our executive officers and other key management
and technical personnel.  None of these individuals has an employment
agreement with us and each one would be difficult to replace.  We do
not maintain any key person life insurance policies on any of these
individuals.  The loss of the services of one or more of our executive
officers or key personnel or the inability to continue to attract qualified
personnel could delay product development cycles or otherwise harm our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
 
 Our
future success also will depend on our ability to attract and retain qualified
technical, marketing and management personnel, particularly highly skilled
design, process and test engineers, for whom competition can be
intense.  During strong business cycles, we expect to experience
difficulty in filling our needs for qualified engineers and other
personnel.
  40
 Our
limited ability to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights
could harm our competitive position.
 Our
success depends in part on our ability to obtain patents and licenses and
preserve other intellectual property rights covering our products and
development and testing tools.  In the United States, we currently
hold 111 patents covering certain aspects of our product designs and have 12
additional patent applications pending.  Copyrights, mask work
protection, trade secrets and confidential technological know-how are also key
to our business.  Additional patents may not be issued to us or our
patents or other intellectual property may not provide meaningful
protection.  We may be subject to, or initiate, interference
proceedings in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.  These
proceedings can consume significant financial and management
resources.  We may become involved in litigation relating to alleged
infringement by us of others' patents or other intellectual property
rights.  This type of litigation is frequently expensive to both the
winning party and the losing party and takes up significant amounts of
management's time and attention.  In addition, if we lose such a
lawsuit, a court could require us to pay substantial damages and/or royalties or
prohibit us from using essential technologies.  For these and other
reasons, this type of litigation could seriously harm our
business.  Also, although we may seek to obtain a license under a
third party's intellectual property rights in order to bring an end to certain
claims or actions asserted against us, we may not be able to obtain such a
license on reasonable terms or at all.
 
 Because
it is important to our success that we are able to prevent competitors from
copying our innovations, we intend to continue to seek patent, trade secret and
mask work protection for our technologies.  The process of seeking
patent protection can be long and expensive, and we cannot be certain that any
currently pending or future applications will actually result in issued patents,
or that, even if patents are issued, they will be of sufficient scope or
strength to provide meaningful protection or any commercial advantage to
us.  Furthermore, others may develop technologies that are similar or
superior to our technology or design around the patents we own.
 
 We also
rely on trade secret protection for our technology, in part through
confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and third
parties.  However, these parties may breach these
agreements.  In addition, the laws of some territories in which we
develop, manufacture or sell our products may not protect our intellectual
property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United
States.
 
 Our
independent foundries use a process technology that may include technology we
helped develop with them, that may generally be used by those foundries to
produce their own products or to manufacture products for other companies,
including our competitors. In addition, we may not have the right to implement
key process technologies used to manufacture some of our products with foundries
other than our present foundries.
 
 We
may not provide adequate allowances for exchanges, returns and
concessions.
 
 We
recognize revenue from the sale of products when shipped, less an allowance
based on future authorized and historical patterns of returns, price protection,
exchanges and other concessions.  We believe our methodology and
approach are appropriate.  However, if the actual amounts we incur
exceed the allowances, it could decrease our revenue and corresponding gross
profit.
 
 We
are subject to risks related to taxes.
 
 A number
of factors, including unanticipated changes in the mix of earnings in countries
with differing statutory tax rates or by unexpected changes in existing tax laws
or our interpretation of them, could unfavorably affect our future effective tax
rate.  In the event our management determines it is no longer more
likely than not that we will realize a portion of our deferred tax assets we
will be required to increase our valuation allowance which will result in an
increase in our effective tax rate.  Furthermore, our tax returns are
subject to examination in all the jurisdictions in which we operate which
subjects us to potential increases in our tax liabilities.  All of
these factors could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations.
 
 The
complexity of our products makes us susceptible to manufacturing problems, which
could increase our costs and delay our product shipments.
 
 The
manufacture and assembly of our products is highly complex and sensitive to a
wide variety of factors, including:
 
 ·
              the
      level of contaminants in the manufacturing
  environment;
  41
  ·
              impurities
      in the materials used; and
 ·
              the
      performance of manufacturing personnel and production
      equipment.
 
 In a
typical semiconductor manufacturing process, silicon wafers produced by a
foundry are cut into individual die. These die are assembled into individual
packages and tested for performance. Our wafer fabrication suppliers have from
time to time experienced lower than anticipated yields of suitable die. In the
event of such decreased yields, we would incur additional costs to sort wafers,
an increase in average cost per usable die and an increase in the time to market
or availability of our products.  These conditions could reduce our
net revenues and gross margin and harm our customer relations.
 
 We do not
manufacture any of our IC products.  Therefore, we are referred to in
the semiconductor industry as a "fabless" producer.  Consequently, we
depend upon third party manufacturers to produce semiconductors that meet our
specifications.  We currently have third party manufacturers that can
produce semiconductors that meet our needs. However, as the industry continues
to progress to smaller manufacturing and design geometries, the complexities of
producing semiconductors will increase.  Decreasing geometries may
introduce new problems and delays that may affect product development and
deliveries.  Due to the nature of the industry and our status as a
"fabless" IC semiconductor company, we could encounter fabrication-related
problems that may affect the availability of our products, delay our shipments
or increase our costs. We are directly involved in the manufacture of our FCP
products. As technologies continue to evolve there may be manufacturing related
problems that affect our FCP products. In addition, we have committed to the
construction of a new FCP facility located in the Jinan Development Zone in
Shandong Province, China, which adds the uncertainties involved with staffing
and starting up a new facility in a country where we have no previous operating
experience.
 
 A
large portion of our revenues is derived from sales to a few customers, who may
cease purchasing from us at any time.
 
 A
relatively small number of customers have accounted for a significant portion of
our net revenues in each of the past several fiscal years. In general we expect
this to continue for the foreseeable future.  We had two direct
customers that accounted for more than 10% of net revenues during the six months
ended December 27, 2008. As a percentage of net revenues, sales to our top five
direct customers during the six months ended December 27, 2008 totaled
49%.
 
 We do not
have long-term sales agreements with any of our customers.  Our
customers are not subject to minimum purchase requirements, may reduce or delay
orders periodically due to excess inventory and may discontinue purchasing our
products at any time. Our distributors typically offer competing products in
addition to ours.  For the six months ended December 27, 2008 and the
fiscal year ended June 28, 2008, sales to our distributors were approximately
55% and 49% of net revenues, respectively as compared to approximately40% of net revenues in
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 and 39% for the fiscal year ended July 1,
2006. The increase in the percentage of sales to our distributors as compared
with the prior periods was due to growth in sales to Asian distributor
customers. The loss of one or more significant customers, or the decision by a
significant distributor to carry additional product lines of our competitors
could decrease our revenues.
 
 Almost
all of our wafer suppliers and assembly subcontractors are located in Southeast
Asia, which exposes us to the problems associated with international
operations.
 
 Risks
associated with international business operations include the
following:
 
 ·
              disruptions
      or delays in shipments;
 ·
              changes
      in economic conditions in the countries where these subcontractors are
      located;
 ·
              currency
      fluctuations;
 ·
              changes
      in political conditions;
 ·
              potentially
      reduced protection for intellectual
property;
 ·
              foreign
      governmental regulations;
 ·
              import
      and export controls; and
 ·
              changes
      in tax laws, tariffs and freight
rates.
  42
 
 In
particular, there is a potential risk of conflict and further instability in the
relationship between Taiwan and the People's Republic of
China.  Conflict or instability could disrupt the operations of one of
our principal wafer suppliers and several of our assembly subcontractors located
in Taiwan.
 
 Because
we sell our products to customers outside of the United States, we face foreign
business, political and economic risks that could seriously harm
us.
 
 In the
six months ended December 27, 2008, we derived approximately 89% of our net
revenues from sales in Asia and approximately 3% from sales outside of Asia and
the United States. In fiscal year 2008, we derived approximately 88% of our net
revenues from sales in Asia and approximately 3% from sales outside of Asia and
the United States. In fiscal year 2007, we derived approximately 82% of our net
revenues from sales in Asia and approximately 4% from sales outside of Asia and
the United States. In fiscal year 2006, we generated approximately 64% of our
net revenues from sales in Asia and approximately 17% from sales outside of Asia
and the United States. We expect that export sales will continue to represent a
significant portion of net revenues. We intend to continue the expansion of our
sales efforts outside the United States. This expansion will require significant
management attention and financial resources and further subject us to
international operating risks.  These risks include:
 
 ·
              tariffs
      and other barriers and
restrictions;
 ·
              unexpected
      changes in regulatory requirements;
 ·
              the
      burdens of complying with a variety of foreign laws;
  and
 ·
              delays
      resulting from difficulty in obtaining export licenses for
      technology.
 
 We are
also subject to general geopolitical risks in connection with our international
operations, such as political and economic instability and changes in diplomatic
and trade relationships.  In addition, because our international sales
are denominated in U.S. dollars, increases in the value of the U.S. dollar could
increase the price in local currencies of our products in foreign markets and
make our products relatively more expensive than competitors' products that are
denominated in local currencies. Regulatory, geopolitical and other factors
could seriously harm our business or require us to modify our current business
practices.
 
 Our
shareholder rights plan may adversely affect existing shareholders.
 
 On March
6, 2002, we adopted a shareholder rights plan that may have the effect of
deterring, delaying, or preventing a change in control that otherwise might be
in the best interests of our shareholders.  Under the rights plan, we
issued a dividend of one preferred share purchase right for each share of our
common stock held by shareholders of record as of March 21, 2002. Each right
entitles shareholders to purchase one one-hundredth of our Series D Junior
Participating Preferred Stock.
 
 In
general, the share purchase rights become exercisable when a person or group
acquires 15% or more of our common stock or a tender offer for 15% or more of
our common stock is announced or commenced.  After such event, our
other stockholders may purchase additional shares of our common stock at 50% off
of the then-current market price.  The rights will cause substantial
dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire us on terms not approved
by our Board of Directors.  The rights should not interfere with any
merger or other business combination approved by our Board of Directors since
the rights may be redeemed by us at $0.001 per right at any time before any
person or group acquire 15% or more of our outstanding common
stock.  These rights expire in March 2012.
 
 Our
operations and financial results could be severely harmed by natural
disasters.
 
 Our
headquarters and some of our major suppliers' manufacturing facilities are
located near major earthquake faults. One of the foundries we use is located in
Taiwan, which suffered a severe earthquake during fiscal 2000. We did not
experience significant disruption to our operations as a result of that
earthquake.  However, if a major earthquake or other natural disaster
were to affect our suppliers, our sources of supply could be interrupted, which
would seriously harm our business.

2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of
Proceeds
 
 On April
26, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of 2.0
million shares under a program disclosed in our previous periodic reports and on
April 29, 2008, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an
additional $30 million of our common stock, as announced May 1,
2008.
 
 Pursuant
to the 2007 authority, the Company repurchased approximately 139,000 shares in
the six months ended December 27, 2008 for an aggregate cost of $1.9 million and
thereby completed the repurchase of the 2.0 million shares at an aggregate
cumulative cost of approximately $25.2 million. Pursuant to the 2008 authority,
the Company repurchased approximately 487,000 shares in the six months ended
December 27, 2008 for an aggregate cost of $3.1 million. During the six months
ended December 29, 2007, the Company repurchased approximately 471,000 shares
for an aggregate cost of $5.2 million. The average price per share of
repurchases under the 2007 and 2008 authority during the first six months of
fiscal 2009 was $7.95.
 
 The
repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or through private
transactions at the discretion of Company management. Current cash balances and
the proceeds from stock option exercises and employee stock purchase plan
purchases have funded stock repurchases in the past, and we expect to fund
future stock repurchases from these same sources.
 
 The
following table describes the shares repurchased under the authorizations
described above for the first six months of fiscal 2009:
