|1. | Basis of Presentation
|-- | ---------------------

The accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Integrated Silicon Solution, Inc. (the Company) and its consolidated majority owned subsidiaries, after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and
transactions and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which are of a normal, recurring nature) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included.

The Companys operating results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008 or for any other period. The financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2007.



|2. | Use of Estimates
|-- | ----------------

The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates relate to the useful lives and fair value of fixed assets, the fair value of investments, allowances for doubtful accounts and customer
returns, inventory write-downs, potential reserves relating to litigation matters, accrued liabilities, and other reserves. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on its historical experience, knowledge of current conditions and its beliefs
of what could occur in the future, given available information. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and such difference, may be material to the financial statements.



|3. | Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
|-- | ----------------------------------------------

In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157) which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The measurement and disclosure requirements are effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. In February 2008, the FASB
issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or
Measurement under Statement 13 and also issued FSP No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which collectively remove certain leasing transactions from the scope of SFAS 157 and partially delay the
effective date of SFAS 157 for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 157 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of
FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159) which permits companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The standard requires that unrealized gains and losses on items for which the
fair value option has been elected be reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, although earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 159
will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business
Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)). This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations and retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the
purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial
statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines
what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) will apply

prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after Companys fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. While the
Company has not yet evaluated this statement for the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 141(R) will have on its consolidated financial statements, the Company will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after September 30,
2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an
amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies
that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, that SFAS
No. 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Companys fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS No. 162). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the
framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the GAAP hierarchy). Statement 162 will
become effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 162 to have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.



|4. | Stock-based Compensation
|-- | ------------------------

Stock-Based Benefit Plans

The Company grants options under the 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2007 Plan) which permits the grant of stock options,
stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance shares and performance units. The Company has outstanding grants under prior plans, though no further grants can be made under these prior plans. At
June 30, 2008, 2,242,000 shares were available for future grant under the 2007 Plan. Options generally vest over a four-year period with a 6-month cliff vest and then vest monthly over the remaining vesting period. Options granted prior to
September 30, 2005 expire ten years after the date of grant and options granted after September 30, 2005 expire seven years after the date of the grant. Restricted stock units (RSUs) generally vest annually over a three-year period
based upon continued employment with the Company. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon exercise of stock options and upon the vesting of RSUs.

In addition, the Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) that is available to employees. The ESPP permits eligible employees to purchase the Companys common stock through payroll deductions at 85% of
the fair market value of the common stock at the end of each six-month offering period. The offering periods under the ESPP commence on approximately February 1 and August 1 of each year. At June 30, 2008, 1,005,000 shares were
available for future issuance under the ESPP.

As of June 30, 2008, there was approximately $6.7 million of total unrecognized stock-based
compensation expense under the Companys stock equity compensation plans that will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.49 years. Future stock option grants and awards will add to this total whereas quarterly
amortization and the vesting of the existing stock option grants and awards will reduce this total. The Company also records compensation expense for its ESPP for the difference between the purchase price and the fair market value on the date of
purchase.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of the options granted. The weighted average
estimated fair values of stock option grants, as well as the weighted average assumptions used in calculating these values during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, were based on estimates at the date of grant as
follows:

Estimated volatility ranged from 43% to 45% in the three months ended June 30, 2008 and

The Company began issuing RSUs in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The estimated fair value of RSU awards was calculated based on the market price of
ISSI common stock on the date of grant. The weighted average grant date fair value of RSUs granted during the nine months ended June 30, 2008 was $5.60 per share.

As of June 30, 2008, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments
of $20.4 million in foreign institutions.

During the March 2008 quarter, the Company reclassified all $20.0 million par value of
its AAA rated investments in auction rate securities from short-term investments to long-term investments. These auction rate securities were reclassified as long-term investments due to the failure of all these securities to settle at auction. As
of June 30, 2008, the Company has recorded a temporary impairment charge of $1.1 million against other comprehensive income in its consolidated balance sheet related to these investments. If the issuers are unable to successfully close future
auctions and their credit ratings deteriorate,

the Company may be required to further adjust the carrying value of these investments and record an impairment charge to earnings for an other than temporary
decline in the fair values. Based on the Companys ability to access its cash and other short-term investments, its expected operating cash flows, and its other sources of cash, it does not anticipate the lack of liquidity on these investments
will affect its ability to operate its business as usual.

In the nine months ended June 30, 2008, the Company sold 22.0 million
shares of Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. (SMIC), a related party through July 2007, and recorded gross proceeds of approximately $2.7 million and a pre-tax gain of approximately $0.2 million. In the nine months ended June 30,
2007, the Company sold approximately 165.0 million shares of SMIC and recorded gross proceeds of approximately $22.2 million and a pre-tax gain of approximately $3.2 million. The cost basis of the Companys shares in SMIC is approximately
$3.4 million and the market value at June 30, 2008 was approximately $1.7 million. The market value of SMIC shares is subject to fluctuations and the Companys carrying value will be subject to adjustments to reflect changes in SMICs
market value in future periods. In the event the decline in the market value of the Companys SMIC shares below its cost basis is determined to be other-than-temporary, the Company may be required to recognize a loss on its investment through
operating results.

On April 8, 2008, Ralink Technology, Co. (Ralink) completed an initial public offering (IPO). Ralinks common
shares are traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. In the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company sold approximately 0.3 million shares of its Ralink stock and recorded gross proceeds of approximately $1.8 million and a pre-tax gain of
approximately $1.6 million. Since Ralinks IPO, the Company accounts for its shares in Ralink under the provisions of FASB 115 and has marked its investment to the market value as of June 30, 2008 by increasing short-term investments and
by increasing accumulated other comprehensive income in the equity section of the balance sheet. The cost basis of the Companys shares in Ralink is approximately $0.5 million and the market value at June 30, 2008 was approximately $4.8
million. The market value of Ralink shares is subject to fluctuations and the Companys carrying value will be subject to adjustments to reflect the current market value. Certain of the Companys shares in Ralink with a market value at
June 30, 2008 of approximately $4.8 million are subject to lockup restrictions and therefore are not freely tradable. The lockup restrictions will lapse on shares with a market value on June 30, 2008 of $4.3 million in July 2008. The
lockup restrictions will lapse on the remaining $0.5 million of shares equally in October 2008 and April 2009. Thus all of the Companys shares in Ralink will be freely tradable in April 2009.

|9. | Income Taxes
|-- | ------------

The Company adopted FASB
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), on October 1, 2007. As of the date of adoption, the Company had $3.0 million of unrecognized tax
benefits of which $2.9 million is currently offset by a full valuation allowance. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, there was no change to the amount of the unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, California and various state and foreign tax jurisdictions in which it has a
subsidiary or branch operation. The tax years 1998 to 2007 remain open to examination by the U.S. and state tax authorities, and the tax years 2002 to 2007 remain open to examination by the foreign tax authorities.

The Companys policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of the
date of adoption of FIN 48, the Company had approximately $25,000 of accrued interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits. Subsequent changes to accrued interest and penalties have not been significant.

The income tax provision for the three month and nine months ended June 30, 2008 consists primarily of federal and state minimum taxes of $41,000
and $141,000, respectively. The income tax provision for the three month and nine months ended June 30, 2007 consists of state minimum taxes and foreign withholding taxes of $32,000 and $45,000, respectively.

|11. | Common Stock Repurchase Program
|--- | -------------------------------

During the first
quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company repurchased 129,100 shares of its common stock at a cost of approximately $0.9 million. On December 3, 2007, the Company commenced an offer to purchase for cash up to 10 million shares of its common
stock through a self-tender offer at a price of $7.00 per share (the Offer). The Offer expired on January 3, 2008 and on January 11, 2008, the Company announced the results of the Offer, stating that it accepted for payment
10 million shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $7.00 per share, resulting in aggregate payments of $70 million. These shares represented approximately 27.4% of the Companys shares outstanding as of December 31, 2007.
The Company has repurchased and retired approximately 11,310,248 shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $78.3 million since September 2007. As of June 30, 2008, $10.0 million remained available under the existing repurchase
authorization.



|12. | Commitments and Contingencies
|--- | -----------------------------

Patents and
Licenses

In the semiconductor industry, it is not unusual for companies to receive notices alleging infringement of patents or other
intellectual property rights of others. The Company has been, and from time-to-time expects to be, notified of claims that it may be infringing patents, maskwork rights or copyrights owned by third parties. If it appears necessary or desirable, the
Company may seek licenses under patents that it is alleged to be infringing. Although patent holders commonly offer such licenses, licenses may not be offered and the terms of any offered licenses may not be acceptable to the Company. The failure to
obtain a license under a key patent or intellectual property right from a third party for technology used by the Company could cause it to incur substantial liabilities and to suspend the manufacture of the products utilizing the invention or to
attempt to develop non-infringing products, any of which could materially and adversely affect the Companys business and operating results. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Company will not become involved in protracted
litigation regarding its alleged infringement of third party intellectual property rights or litigation to assert and protect its patents or other intellectual property rights. Any litigation relating to patent infringement or other intellectual
property matters could result in substantial cost and diversion of the Companys resources that could materially and adversely affect the Companys business and operating results.

Legal Proceedings

Shareholder Derivative Actions

On July 18, 2006 and July 26, 2006, two purported
shareholder derivative actions were filed against certain current and former directors and officers of the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, entitled (1) Rick Tope v. Jimmy S.M. Lee, et
al., Case No. C06-04387, and (2) Murray Donnelly v. Jimmy S.M. Lee, et al., Case No. C06-04545. The complaints purport to assert claims against the individual defendants on behalf of the Company for breach of fiduciary duty,
violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, unjust enrichment, and restitution based upon its alleged stock option grant practices from 1995 through 2002.
The Company is named solely as a nominal defendant. The complaints seek damages in an unspecified amount against the individual defendants, disgorgement of stock options or proceeds, equitable relief, attorneys fees, and other unspecified
relief. The Court consolidated the two derivative actions on August 22, 2006, under the caption In re Integrated Silicon Solution, Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation, Master File No. C-06-04387 RMW. Plaintiffs filed a consolidated
complaint on November 27, 2006, based upon the same underlying facts and circumstances alleged in the prior complaints. In addition to the claims asserted and the relief sought in the original complaints, the consolidated complaint purports to
assert claims against the individual defendants for aiding and abetting and violating Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and seeks an accounting. The Company is again named solely as a nominal defendant.

On October 31, 2006, another purported shareholder derivative action was filed against certain current and former directors and officers of the
Company in the Superior Court of California for the County of Santa Clara, entitled Alex Chuzhoy v. Jimmy S.M. Lee, et al., Case No. 1:06-CV-074031. The complaint purports to assert claims against the individual defendants on behalf of
the Company for insider trading in violation of California Corporations Code Sections 25402 / 25502.5, breach of fiduciary duty including in connection with the alleged insider selling and misappropriation, abuse of control, gross mismanagement,
constructive fraud, corporate waste, unjust enrichment, and rescission, based upon the Companys alleged stock option grant practices from 1995 through 2002. The Company is named solely as a nominal defendant. The complaint seeks damages in an
unspecified amount against the individual defendants, an accounting, certain corporate governance changes, a constructive trust over the defendants stock options or proceeds, punitive damages, attorneys fees, and other unspecified
relief.

On March 19, 2008, the Company and the individual defendants agreed with the plaintiffs-shareholders to settle both the
federal and state shareholder derivative actions. The settlement is subject to preliminary and final approval of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The Company and its insurers have agreed to pay up to
$2.1 million to plaintiffs counsel for their attorneys fees and the reimbursement of their expenses and costs, subject to approval of the federal court.

SRAM Antitrust Litigation

Thirty-three purported class action lawsuits were filed by U.S.
Direct-Purchaser and U.S. Indirect-Purchaser Plaintiffs against the Company and other SRAM suppliers in various U.S. federal courts alleging violations of the Sherman Act, violations of state unfair competition laws, and unjust enrichment relating
to the sale and pricing of SRAM products. The U.S. lawsuits have been consolidated in a single federal court for coordinated pre-trial proceedings. The U.S. lawsuits seek treble damages for the alleged damages sustained by purported class members,
in addition to restitution, costs and attorneys fees, as well as an injunction against the allegedly unlawful conduct. As of August 30, 2007, the Company was voluntarily dismissed from all lawsuits brought by the U.S. Indirect-Purchaser
Plaintiffs pursuant to a Tolling Agreement between the Company and the U.S. Indirect-Purchaser Plaintiffs. The U.S. Indirect-Purchaser Plaintiffs agreed not to name the Company as a defendant unless the Tolling Agreement is terminated according to
terms specified in that agreement. On January 9, 2008, the Company was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice from one of the lawsuits brought by the U.S. Direct-Purchaser Plaintiffs. The Company remains a defendant in three lawsuits brought
by the U.S. Direct-Purchaser Plaintiffs.

Three purported class action lawsuits were filed against the Company and other SRAM suppliers in
three Canadian courts alleging violation of the Canadian Competition Act and other unlawful conduct. The Canadian complaints seek compensatory and punitive damages, in addition to declaratory relief, restitution, and costs. As of March 20,
2008, the Company entered into a Tolling Agreement with the Canadian Plaintiffs. Pursuant to the Tolling Agreement, on March 25, 2008 one of the Canadian lawsuits was discontinued as to the Company and the other two Canadian lawsuits are to be
discontinued as to the Company.

The Company is committed to defending itself against these claims and has instructed its counsel to
contest these actions vigorously. Given the preliminary stage of these proceedings and the inherent uncertainty in litigation, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these suits. The final resolution of these alleged violations of federal
or state antitrust laws could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, or financial condition.

SRAM
Antitrust Civil Investigative Demand

In May 2007, the Company received a civil investigative demand (CID) from the
Attorney General of the State of Florida. The CID is issued pursuant to the Florida Antitrust Act in the course of an official investigation to determine whether there is, has been, or may be a violation of state or federal antitrust laws. Although
not alleging any wrongdoing, the CID seeks documents and data relating to the Companys business. As of January 14, 2008 and effective as of May 7, 2007, the Companys obligation to respond to the CID was suspended pursuant to
the terms of a Tolling Agreement between the Company and the Attorney General of Florida. The Company intends to cooperate fully with the Attorney General of Florida in this investigation. Because the investigation is at an early stage, the Company
cannot predict the outcome of the investigation and its effect, if any, on its business.

Other Legal Proceedings

In addition to the matters described above, in the ordinary course of its business, as is common in the semiconductor industry, the Company has been
involved in a limited number of legal actions, both as plaintiff and defendant, and could incur uninsured liability in any one or more of them. Although the outcome of these actions is not presently determinable, the Company believes that the
ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, cash flows or results of operations. However, no assurances can be given with respect to the extent or outcome of any such litigation in the
future.

Commitments to Wafer Fabrication Facilities and Contract Manufacturers

The Company issues purchase orders for wafers to various wafer foundries. These purchase orders are generally considered to be cancelable. However, to the
degree that the wafers have entered into work-in-process at the foundry, as a matter of practice, it becomes increasingly difficult to cancel the purchase order. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had approximately $14.1 million of purchase
orders for which the related wafers had been entered into wafer work-in-process (i.e., manufacturing had begun).

|Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At September 30, 2005, we owned approximately 83% of Integrated Circuit Solution, Inc. (ICSI). ICSI is a fabless semiconductor company
whose principal products are DRAM and controller chips. In fiscal 2006, we purchased additional shares of ICSI for approximately $13.9 million increasing our ownership percentage to approximately 98% at September 30, 2006. In fiscal 2007, we
purchased additional shares of ICSI for approximately $0.3 million. At June 30, 2008, we owned approximately 98% of ICSI. Our financial results for fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 reflect accounting for ICSI on a consolidated basis.

In December 2006, we sold our remaining investment in Key Stream Corp. (KSC), a semiconductor company. Our financial results for fiscal 2007, until our
sale, reflect accounting for KSC on the equity basis.

Overview

We are a fabless semiconductor company that designs and markets high performance integrated circuits for the following key markets: (i) digital consumer electronics, (ii) networking, (iii) mobile
communications and (iv) automotive electronics. Our primary products are high speed and low power SRAM and low and medium density DRAM. We also design and market EEPROMs, SmartCards, and selected non-memory products focused on our key markets.
We were founded in October 1988 and initially focused on high performance, low cost SRAM for PC cache memory applications. In 1997, we introduced our first low and medium density DRAM products. Prior to fiscal 2003, our SRAM product family generated
a majority of our revenue. However, sales of our low and medium density DRAM products have represented a majority of our net sales in each year since fiscal 2003. Over the past few years, we have transitioned our DRAM products away from commodity
based markets to more value-added focused markets such as the automotive, telecommunications and networking markets where we can generally realize a higher margin.

In order to limit and control our operating expenses, in recent years we reduced our headcount in the U.S. and transferred various functions to Taiwan and China. Our acquisition of ICSI was a key part of this
strategy. We believe this strategy has enabled us to limit our operating expenses while simultaneously locating these functions closer to our manufacturing partners and our customers. As a result of these efforts, we currently have significantly
more employees in Asia than we do in the U.S. We intend to continue these strategies going forward.

As a fabless semiconductor company,
our business model is less capital intensive because we rely on third parties to manufacture, assemble and test our products. Because of our dependence on third-party wafer foundries, our ability to increase our unit sales volumes depends on our
ability to increase our wafer capacity allocation from current foundries, add additional foundries and improve yields of good die per wafer.

The average selling prices of our SRAM and DRAM products are very sensitive to supply and demand
conditions in our target markets and have generally declined over time. We experienced declines in the average selling prices for many of our products in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 and in fiscal 2007. We expect average selling prices for
our products to decline in the future, principally due to increased market competition and an increased supply of competitive products in the market. Any future decreases in our average selling prices could have an adverse impact on our revenues,
gross margins and operating margins. Our ability to maintain or increase revenues will be highly dependent upon our ability to increase unit sales volumes of existing products and to introduce and sell new products in quantities sufficient to
compensate for the anticipated declines in average selling prices of existing products. Declining average selling prices will adversely affect our gross margins unless we are able to offset such declines with reductions in per unit costs or changes
in product mix in favor of higher margin products.

Revenue from product sales to our direct customers is recognized upon shipment provided
that persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, the price is fixed and determinable, title has transferred, collection of resulting receivables is reasonably assured, there are no customer acceptance requirements and there are no remaining
significant obligations. A portion of our sales is made to distributors under agreements that provide the possibility of certain sales price rebates and limited product return privileges. Given the uncertainties associated with credits that will be
issued to these distributors, we defer recognition of such sales until our products are sold by the distributors to their end customers. Revenue from sales to distributors who do not have sales price rebates or product return privileges is
recognized at the time our products are sold by us to the distributors.

We market and sell our products in Asia, the U.S., Europe and
other locations through our direct sales force, distributors and sales representatives. The percentage of our sales shipped outside the U.S. was approximately 84%, 80%, 82% and 83% in the first nine months of fiscal 2008, the first nine months of
fiscal 2007, and in fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, respectively. We measure sales location by the shipping destination, even if the customer is headquartered in the U.S. We anticipate that sales to international customers will continue to represent a
significant percentage of our net sales. The percentages of our net sales by region are set forth in the following table:

Our sales are generally made by purchase orders. Because industry practice allows customers to
reschedule or cancel orders on relatively short notice, backlog is not a good indicator of our future sales. Cancellations of customer orders or changes in product specifications could result in the loss of anticipated sales without allowing us
sufficient time to reduce our inventory and operating expenses.

Since a portion of our revenue is from the digital consumer electronics
market, our business may be subject to seasonality, with increased revenues in the third and fourth calendar quarters of each year, when customers place orders to meet year-end holiday demand. However, due to the complex nature of the markets we
serve, it is difficult for us to assess the impact of seasonal factors on our business.

We are subject to the risks of conducting business
internationally, including economic conditions in Asia, particularly Taiwan and China, changes in trade policy and regulatory requirements, duties, tariffs and other trade barriers and restrictions, the burdens of complying with foreign laws and,
possibly, political instability. All of our foundries and assembly and test subcontractors are located in Asia. Although our international sales are largely denominated in U.S. dollars, we do have sales transactions in New Taiwan dollars, in Hong
Kong dollars and in Chinese Renminbi. In addition, we have foreign operations where expenses are generally denominated in the local currency. Such transactions expose us to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. We monitor our exposure to foreign
currency fluctuations, but have not adopted any hedging strategies to date. There can be no assurance that exchange rate fluctuations will not harm our business and operating results in the future.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make difficult and subjective estimates, judgments and assumptions. These
estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. The estimates and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. We base our estimates and judgments on our historical experience
combined with knowledge of current conditions and our beliefs of what could occur in the future, considering the information available at the time. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to our
financial statements. We reevaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis.

Our critical accounting policies which are impacted
by our estimates are: (i) the valuation of our inventory, which impacts cost of goods sold and gross profit; (ii) the valuation of our allowance for sales returns and allowances, which impacts net sales; (iii) the valuation of our
allowance for doubtful accounts, which impacts general and administrative expense; (iv) accounting for acquisitions and goodwill, which impacts operating expense when we record impairments and (v) accounting for stock-based compensation
which impacts costs of goods sold, research and development expense and selling, general and administrative expense. Each of these policies is described in more detail below. We also have other key accounting policies that may not require us to make
estimates and judgments that are as subjective or difficult. For instance, our policies with regard to revenue recognition, including the deferral of revenues on sales to distributors with sales price rebates and product return privileges. These
policies are described in the notes to our financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.

Valuation of inventory. Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Determining market value requires us to project unit prices and volumes for future periods in which we expect to
sell inventory on hand as of the balance sheet date. As a result of these estimates, we may record a charge to cost of goods sold, which decreases our gross profit, in advance of when the inventory is actually sold to reflect market values, net of
sales commission costs, that are below our manufacturing costs. Conversely, if we sell inventory that has previously been written down to the lower of cost or market at more favorable prices than we had forecasted at the time of the write-down, our
gross profit may be higher. In addition to lower of cost or market write-downs, we also analyze inventory to determine whether any of it is excess, obsolete or defective. We write down to zero dollars (which is a charge to cost of goods sold) the
carrying value of inventory on hand that has aged over one year to cover estimated excess and obsolete exposures, unless adjustments are made based on our judgments for newer products, end of life products, planned inventory increases or strategic
customer supply. In making such judgments to write down inventory, we take into account the product life cycles which can range from six to 30 months, the stage in the life cycle of the product, and the impact of competitors announcements and
product introductions on our products. Once established, these adjustments are considered permanent.

Valuation of allowance for sales
returns and allowances. Net sales consist principally of total product sales less estimated sales returns. To estimate sales returns and allowances, we analyze potential customer specific product application issues, potential quality and
reliability issues and historical returns. We evaluate quarterly the adequacy of the allowance for sales returns and allowances. This allowance is reflected as a reduction to accounts receivable in our consolidated balance sheets. Increases to the
allowance are recorded as a reduction to net sales. Because the allowance for sales returns and allowances is based on our judgments and estimates, particularly as to product application, quality and reliability issues, our allowances may not be
adequate to cover actual sales returns and other allowances. If our allowances are not adequate, our net sales could be adversely affected.

Valuation of allowance for doubtful accounts. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for losses that we estimate will arise from our customers inability to make required payments for goods and services purchased
from us. We make our estimates of the uncollectibility of our accounts receivable by analyzing historical bad debts, specific customer creditworthiness and current economic trends. Once an account is deemed unlikely to be fully collected, we write
down the carrying value of the receivable to the estimated recoverable value, which results in a charge to general and administrative expense, which decreases our profitability.

Accounting for acquisitions and goodwill. We account for acquisitions using the purchase
accounting method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations. Under this method, the total consideration paid, excluding, if any, the contingent consideration that has not
been earned, is allocated over the fair value of the net assets acquired, including in-process research and development, with any excess allocated to goodwill. Goodwill is defined as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value allocated to
the net assets. Our judgments as to fair value of the assets will, therefore, affect the amount of goodwill that we record. Management is responsible for the valuation of tangible and intangible assets. For tangible assets acquired in any
acquisition, such as plant and equipment, the useful lives are estimated by considering comparable lives of similar assets, past history, the intended use of the assets and their condition. In estimating the useful life of the acquired intangible
assets with definite lives, we consider the industry environment and unique factors relating to each product relative to our business strategy and the likelihood of technological obsolescence. Acquired intangible assets primarily include core and
current technology, customer relationships and customer contracts. We are currently amortizing our acquired intangible assets with definite lives over periods generally ranging from six months to six years.

We perform goodwill impairment tests on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances where indicators of impairment may exist. For
instance, in response to changes in industry and market conditions, we could be required to strategically realign our resources and consider restructuring, disposing of, or otherwise exiting businesses, which could result in an impairment of
tangible and intangible assets, including goodwill.

Accounting for stock-based compensation. Effective October 1, 2005,
we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), using the modified prospective transition method and therefore have not restated results for prior periods. Under
SFAS 123R, stock option cost is calculated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The compensation cost is then recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the option, which is generally the option
vesting term of four years. We use the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of our stock options at the date of grant. The Black-Scholes valuation model requires us to estimate key assumptions such as expected term, volatility,
dividend yield and risk free interest rates that determine the stock option fair value. In addition, SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant. In subsequent periods, if actual forfeitures differ from the estimate, the
forfeiture rate may be revised. We estimate our expected forfeitures rate based on our historical activity and judgment regarding trends. Based upon the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issuance of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107
(SAB 107) regarding the SECs interpretation of SFAS 123R, we use the simplified calculation of expected life. If we determined that another method used to estimate expected life was more reasonable than our current method, or if
another method for calculating these inputs assumptions was prescribed by authoritative guidance, the fair value calculated could change materially.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS No. 157) which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhance disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The measurement
and disclosure requirements are effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement
No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13 and also issued FSP No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 157, which collectively remove certain leasing transactions from the scope of SFAS 157 and partially delay the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities. We are currently
evaluating the impact SFAS No. 157 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159) which permits companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and
certain other items at fair value. The standard requires that unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected be reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009,
although earlier adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 159 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)). This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations and retains the fundamental
requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement also
establishes principles and



18



---

##### Table of Contents

requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any
noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to
evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. While we have
not yet evaluated this statement for the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 141(R) will have on our consolidated financial statements, we will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after September 30, 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB
No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. We have not yet determined the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 160 will have
on our consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009.

In May 2008,
the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS No. 162). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the
preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the GAAP hierarchy). Statement 162 will become effective 60 days following the SECs
approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 162
to have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to Three
Months Ended June 30, 2007

Net sales. Net sales consist principally of total product sales less estimated sales
returns. Net sales decreased by 2% to $58.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $59.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in net sales of $1.4 million can be attributed primarily to a decline in
DRAM revenue. While unit shipments of our DRAM products increased in the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007 such increases were offset by a decline in average selling prices of such products
resulting in an overall decrease in DRAM revenue. In addition, revenue from our application specific standard products (ASSP) which includes our logic, EEPROM and Smart Card products decreased in the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to
the three months ended June 30, 2007 as a result of a shift in product mix. The increase in unit shipments of our SRAM products in the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007, more than offset
the decrease in the average selling prices of such products resulting in an overall increase in SRAM revenue. We anticipate that the average selling prices of our existing products will generally decline over time, although the rate of decline may
fluctuate for certain products. There can be no assurance that any future price declines will be offset by higher volumes or by higher prices on newer products.

In the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, no single customer accounted for over 10% of net sales.

Gross profit. Cost of sales includes die cost from the wafers acquired from foundries, subcontracted package, assembly and test costs, costs associated with in-house product testing, quality assurance and
import duties. Gross profit increased by $1.6 million to $13.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $11.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007. Our gross margin increased to 22.8% in the three months ended
June 30, 2008 from 19.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2007. Our gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2008 included inventory write-downs of $1.7 million while our gross profit for the three months ended June 30,
2007 included inventory write-downs of $2.0 million. The inventory write-downs were for lower of cost or market accounting and excess and obsolescence issues on certain of our products. Our gross profit for the three month periods ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007 benefited from the sale of $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of previously written down products. The increase in gross profit in the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended
June 30, 2007 can be attributed to increased unit shipments of our SRAM and DRAM products. In addition, declines in the cost of our SRAM products more than offset declines in the average selling prices of our SRAM products in three months ended
June 30, 2008. This contributed to an increase in our SRAM gross margin. Declines in the cost of our DRAM products more than offset declines in the average selling prices of our DRAM products in three months ended June 30, 2008 as we
limited our shipments of lower margin commodity DRAM products. This contributed to an increase in our DRAM gross margin. In addition, our gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2008



19

##### Table of Contents

benefited from approximately $0.1 million for a DRAM development project. We believe that the average selling prices of our products will decline over time
and, unless we are able to reduce our cost per unit to the extent necessary to offset such declines, the decline in average selling prices will result in a material decline in our gross margin. In addition, product costs could increase if our
suppliers raise prices, which could result in a material decline in our gross margin. In the past, foundries have raised wafer prices when demand for end products increases. Although we have product cost reduction programs in place that involve
efforts to reduce internal costs and supplier costs, there can be no assurance that product costs will be reduced or that such reductions will be sufficient to offset the expected declines in average selling prices. We do not believe that such cost
reduction efforts are likely to have a material adverse impact on the quality of our products or the level of service provided by us.

Research and development. Research and development expenses increased by 11% to $5.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $5.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007. As a percentage of net
sales, research and development expenses increased to 9.5% in the three months ended June 30, 2008 from 8.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in research and development expenses in the three months ended June 30,
2008 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007 of $0.5 million can be attributed primarily to an increase in development costs for new DRAM and SRAM products which includes the impact of the weaker U.S. dollar which has increased our
expenses denominated in foreign currencies. Our research and development expenses could increase in absolute dollars in future periods due to increased costs associated with the development of new products.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 3% to $8.1 million in the three months ended
June 30, 2008 from $7.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 13.9% in the three months ended June 30, 2008 from 13.1% in the three
months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007 of $0.2 million was mainly attributable to an increase
in selling related expenses in an effort to expand our sales channels which includes the impact of the weaker U.S. dollar which has increased our expenses denominated in foreign currencies. The increase in the three months ended June 30, 2008
was partially offset by a decrease in legal expenses and accounting fees attributable to our stock option backdating investigation which was completed in fiscal 2007. Our selling, general and administrative expenses may increase in absolute dollars
in future quarters and may fluctuate as a percentage of net sales.

Interest and other income (expense), net. Interest and
other income (expense), net was $0.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $3.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007. The $0.8 million of interest and other income (expense) in the three months ended
June 30, 2008 was comprised primarily of interest income of $0.3 million and $0.5 million in rental income from the lease of excess space in our Taiwan facility. The $3.8 million of interest and other income (expense) in the three months ended
June 30, 2007 is comprised primarily of a $2.3 million gain in connection with the settlement of a commercial dispute, interest income of $1.1 million and $0.4 million in rental income from the lease of excess space in our Taiwan facility. The
decrease in interest income in the three months ended June 30, 2008 was primarily attributable to lower cash balances as a result of our $70.0 million stock repurchase which closed in January 2008.

Gain on sale of investments. The gain on the sale of investments was $1.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $2.3
million in the three months ended June 30, 2007. In the three months ended June 30, 2008, we sold approximately 0.3 million shares of Ralink for approximately $1.8 million and recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $1.6 million. In
the three months ended June 30, 2007, we sold approximately 58.0 million shares of SMIC for approximately $8.1 million which resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $1.5 million. In addition, in the three months ended June 30,
2007, we sold shares of Ralink for approximately $0.9 million and recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $0.8 million.

Provision for
income taxes.The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2008 consists primarily of federal and state minimum taxes of $41,000. The provision for income taxes for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 of $32,000
consists primarily of state and federal minimum taxes.

Minority interest in net (income) loss of consolidated subsidiary.The
minority interest in net (income) loss of consolidated subsidiary was income of $17,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to income of $33,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2007. The minority interest in net (income)
loss of consolidated subsidiary for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 represents the minority shareholders proportionate share of the net income of ICSI.

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 2007

Net Sales. Net sales decreased by 1% to $179.9 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2008 from $182.1 million in the nine months ended
June 30, 2007 principally due to a decline in sales of our ASSP products specifically our Flash controller products and a decline in DRAM revenue partially offset by an increase in SRAM revenue. An increase in unit shipments of our DRAM
products in the nine months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2007 was offset by a decline in average selling prices for such products resulting in an overall decrease in DRAM revenue. The increase in unit
shipments of our SRAM products in the nine months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2007, more than offset the decrease in average selling prices of such products resulting in an overall increase in SRAM
revenue.

In the nine month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, no single customer accounted for over 10% of net sales.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased by $4.1 million to $39.8 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2008 from $35.7 million in the
nine months ended June 30, 2007. Our gross margin increased to 22.1% in the nine months ended June 30, 2008 from 19.6% in the nine months ended June 30, 2007. Our gross profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 included
inventory write-downs of $8.0 million while our gross profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 included inventory write-downs of $7.9 million. The inventory write-downs were for lower of cost or market accounting and excess and
obsolescence issues on certain of our products. Our gross profit for the nine month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 benefited from the sale of $2.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of previously written down products. In addition,
our gross profit in the nine months ended June 30, 2008 benefited by a $0.6 million credit for the reversal of previously accrued liabilities for which we are no longer obligated. The increase in gross profit in the nine months ended
June 30, 2008 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2007 can be attributed to increased unit shipments of our SRAM and DRAM products which was partially offset by a reduction in shipments of ASSP products, specifically our Flash
controller products. In addition, declines in the cost of our SRAM products more than offset declines in the average selling prices of our SRAM products in nine months ended June 30, 2007 which contributed to an increase in our SRAM gross
margin. Declines in the cost of our DRAM products more than offset declines in the average selling prices of our DRAM products in nine months ended June 30, 2008 as we limited our shipments of lower margin commodity DRAM products. This
contributed to an increase in our DRAM gross margin. In addition, our gross profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 benefited from approximately $0.7 million of revenue for a DRAM development project.

Research and development. Research and development expenses decreased by 1% to $15.3 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2008 from
$15.5 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2007. As a percentage of net sales, research and development expenses were 8.5% in both the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007. The decrease in research and development
expenses of $0.2 million can be attributed to a decrease in expenditures for the development costs of our DRAM products in the nine months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2007 partially offset by an increase
in expenditures for the development of our SRAM and ASSP products. The $0.2 million decrease includes the impact of the weaker U.S. dollar which resulted an increase in our expenses denominated in foreign currencies. Our research and development
expenses could increase in absolute dollars in future periods due to increased costs associated with the development of new products.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 9% to $23.2 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2008 from $25.6 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2007. As a
percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 12.9% in the nine months ended June 30, 2008 from 14.1% in the nine months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses
of $2.4 million was mainly attributable to a decrease in legal expenses and accounting fees attributable to our stock option backdating investigation which was completed in fiscal 2007 offset by expenses incurred in the nine months ended
June 30, 2008 related to our $70 million stock repurchase and an increase in selling related expenses in an effort to expand our sales channels. In addition, the weaker U.S. dollar in the nine months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the
nine months ended June 30, 2007 has resulted an increase in our expenses denominated in foreign currencies.

Interest and other
income (expense), net. Interest and other income (expense), net was $3.9 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $6.4 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2007. The $3.9 million of interest and other income
(expense) in the nine months ended June 30, 2008 was comprised primarily of interest income of $2.7 million and

##### Table of Contents

$1.3 million in rental income from the lease of excess space in our Taiwan facility. The $6.4 million of interest and other income (expense) in the nine
months ended June 30, 2007 is comprised primarily of interest income of $2.9 million, a $2.3 million gain in connection with the settlement of a commercial dispute and $1.2 million in rental income from the lease of excess space in our Taiwan
facility.

Gain on sale of investments.The gain on the sale of investments was $1.8 million in the nine months ended June 30,
2008 compared to $11.4 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2007. In the nine months ended June 30, 2008, we sold approximately 0.3 million shares of Ralink for approximately $1.8 million and recorded a pre-tax gain of
approximately $1.6 million. In addition, in the nine months ended June 30, 2008, we sold 22.0 million shares of SMIC for approximately $2.7 million which resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $0.2 million. In the nine months ended
June 30, 2007, we sold shares of Ralink for approximately $8.9 million and recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $7.9 million. In addition, in the nine months ended June 30, 2007, we sold approximately 165.0 million shares of SMIC
for approximately $22.2 million which resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $3.2 million. We also sold our remaining shares of KSC for approximately $1.2 million which resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $0.3 million.

Provision for income taxes.The income tax provision for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 consists primarily of federal
and state minimum taxes of $141,000. The provision for income taxes for the nine month period ended June 30, 2007 of $45,000 consists primarily of federal and state minimum taxes and foreign withholding taxes.

Minority interest in net (income) loss of consolidated subsidiary.The minority interest in net (income) loss of consolidated subsidiary was a
loss of $2,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2008 compared to income of $105,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2007. The minority interest in net income (loss) of consolidated subsidiary for the nine months ended June 30, 2008
and June 30, 2007, represents the minority shareholders proportionate share of the net income or loss of ICSI.

Equity
in net loss of affiliated companies.Equity in net loss of affiliated companies was $0.1 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2007. This related to our equity interest in KSC which we sold in December 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30,
2008, our principal sources of liquidity included cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $50.8 million. During the nine months ended June 30, 2008, operating activities provided cash of approximately $4.0 million
compared to $4.8 million provided in the nine months ended June 30, 2007. The cash provided by operations in the nine months ended June 30, 2008 was primarily due to our net income of $6.9 million adjusted for non-cash items of $4.6
million, decreases in other assets of $1.2 million and increases in accrued liabilities of $0.8 million. This was partially offset by increases in inventories of $6.4 million, increases in accounts receivable of $2.0 million, and decreases in
accounts payable of $1.1 million. The cash provided by operations in the nine months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily due to our net income of $12.1 million adjusted for non-cash items of $4.8 million and decreases in inventories of $12.2
million. This was partially offset by increases in accounts receivable of $5.1 million and increases in other assets of $0.9 million and decreases in accounts payable of $6.4 million and decreases in accrued liabilities of $2.3 million.

In the nine months ended June 30, 2008, we generated $52.7 million from investing activities compared to $16.3 million generated in the nine
months ended June 30, 2007. In the nine months ended June 30, 2008, we generated $50.4 million from the net sales of available-for-sale securities. We also generated approximately $1.8 million from the sale of shares of Ralink, resulting
in a pre-tax gain of approximately $1.6 million and generated approximately $2.7 million from the sale of shares of SMIC, resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately $0.2 million. In the nine months ended June 30, 2007, we generated
approximately $22.2 million from the sale of shares of SMIC, resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately $3.2 million, generated approximately $8.9 million from the sale of shares of Ralink, resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately $7.9 million
and generated approximately $1.2 million from our sale of shares of KCS, resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately $0.3 million. We used $13.4 million for net purchases of available-for-sale securities and $0.3 million for the purchase of
additional shares of ICSI.

##### Table of Contents

In the nine months ended June 30, 2008, we made capital expenditures of approximately $2.2 million
compared to $2.4 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2007. The expenditures in the nine months ended June 30, 2008 were primarily for computer software and engineering tools. We expect to spend approximately $1.5 million to $3.0
million to purchase capital equipment during the next twelve months, principally for the purchase of design and engineering tools, additional test equipment, and computer software and hardware. We expect to fund our capital expenditures from our
existing cash and cash equivalent balances.

We used $70.8 million from financing activities during the nine months ended June 30,
2008 compared to $0.5 million used in the nine months ended June 30, 2007. In the nine months ended June 30, 2008, we used $70.9 million for the repurchase and retirement of our common stock and $12.2 million for the repayment of
short-term borrowings. Our sources of financing for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 were borrowings of $11.6 million under ICSI lines of credit and proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $0.7 million from stock option exercises and
sales under our employee stock purchase plan. In the nine months ended June 30, 2007, we used $27.7 million for the repayment of short-term borrowings. Our sources of financing for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 were borrowings of
$26.1 million under ICSI lines of credit, borrowings of $0.6 million under equipment financing loans and proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $0.5 million from stock option exercises.

We have $13.6 million available through a number of short-term lines of credit with various financial institutions in Taiwan. These lines of credit
expire at various times through April 2009. As of June 30, 2008, we had no outstanding borrowings under these short-term lines of credit.

Included within our investment portfolio are $20.0 million par value of AAA rated investments in auction-rate securities, for which all of the underlying assets are student loans which are backed by the federal government under the Federal
Family Education Loan Program. Liquidity for these securities is typically provided by an auction process that resets the applicable interest rate at pre-determined intervals, usually every 7-35 days. Because of the short interest rate reset period,
we have historically recorded them as current available-for-sale securities.

In February 2008, all the auctions of our auction-rate
securities failed as a result of negative conditions in the global credit markets. Each of these securities had been subject to auction processes for which there had been insufficient bidders on the scheduled rollover dates. The failure resulted in
the interest rates on these investments resetting at the maximum rate allowed per security. Until the auctions are successful, a buyer is found outside of the auction process or the notes are redeemed, the investments are not liquid. In the event we
need to access these funds, we will not be able to do so without a loss of principal, unless a future auction on these investments is successful. As the liquidity of these securities has been negatively impacted by the uncertainty in the credit
markets, we have classified these auction-rate securities as long-term available-for-sale securities as of June 30, 2008. We currently believe these securities are not permanently impaired, primarily due to the government backing of the
underlying securities. However, it could take until the final maturity of the underlying notes (up to 40 years) to realize our investments recorded value. Therefore, as of June 30, 2008, we recorded a temporary impairment charge of
$1.1 million against other comprehensive income in our consolidated balance sheet. If the issuers are unable to successfully close future auctions and their credit ratings deteriorate, we may be required to further adjust the carrying value of these
investments and record an impairment charge to earnings for an other than temporary decline in the fair values. Based on our ability to access our cash and other short-term investments, our expected operating cash flows, and our other sources of
cash, we do not anticipate the lack of liquidity on these investments will affect our ability to operate our business as usual.

In
November 2006, we entered into a lease for approximately 30,000 square feet of office space in San Jose and relocated our headquarters there in February 2007. The lease on this building expires in June 2013. Outside of the U.S., we have operations
in leased sites in China and Hong Kong. In addition to these sites, we lease sales offices in the U.S., Europe and Asia. These leases expire at various dates through 2009. In Taiwan, we own and occupy the ICSI building. The land upon which the ICSI
building is situated is leased under an operating lease that expires in March 2016. Our outstanding commitments under these leases were approximately $3.9 million at June 30, 2008.

We generally warrant our products against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 12 months. Liability for a stated warranty period is
usually limited to the replacement of defective items or return of amounts paid. Warranty expense has historically been immaterial to our financial statements.

##### Table of Contents

We believe our existing funds will satisfy our anticipated working capital and other cash requirements
through at least the next 12 months. We may from time to time take actions to further increase our cash position through equity or debt financings, sales of shares of investments, bank borrowings, or the disposition of certain assets. From time to
time, we may also commit to acquisitions or equity investments, including strategic investments in wafer fabrication foundries or assembly and test subcontractors. To the extent we enter into such transactions, we may need to seek additional equity
or debt financing to fund such activities. There can be no assurance that any such additional financing could be obtained on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2008, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in
Item 303 (a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation

S-K.



|Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Our financial market risk includes foreign currency transactions, exposure to changes in interest rates on our fixed rate debt, our investments in marketable equity securities and our investments in private companies.

We anticipate that international sales will continue to account for a significant portion of our consolidated revenue. Our international
sales are largely denominated in U.S. dollars and therefore are not subject to material foreign currency exchange risk. However, we have operations in China, Europe, Taiwan, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea and Singapore where our expenses are
denominated in each countrys local currency and are subject to foreign currency exchange risk. In the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded exchange gains of approximately $121,000 and $78,000, respectively. In
recent periods, the weaker U.S. dollar has resulted in an increase in our operating expenses denominated in foreign currencies. We could be negatively impacted by exchange rate fluctuations in the future. We do not currently engage in any hedging
activities.

We had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $44.3 million at June 30, 2008 excluding $1.7 million of SMIC
stock and $4.8 million of Ralink stock included in short-term investments. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields without increasing risk. We invest primarily in
high-quality, short-term debt instruments and instruments issued by high quality financial institutions and companies, including money market instruments. A hypothetical one percentage point decrease in interest rates would result in approximately a
$0.4 million decrease in our interest income. Included within our investment portfolio are $20.0 million par value of AAA rated investments in auction-rate securities. The underlying assets of these auction rate securities are student loans which
are backed by the federal government under the Federal Family Education Loan Program. We have experienced some market risk and liquidity issues related to auction-rate securities. See the Liquidity and Capital Resources section in
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for more detail on these investments.

We own ordinary shares in SMIC which has been a publicly traded company since March 2004. SMICs ordinary shares are traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and SMIC American Depository Receipts (ADR)
are traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Each SMIC ADR represents fifty (50) ordinary shares. We use the weighted-average cost method to determine the cost basis of shares of SMIC. In the nine months ended June 30, 2008, we sold shares
of SMIC and recorded gross proceeds of approximately $2.7 million and a pre-tax gain of approximately $0.2 million. Since SMICs IPO, we account for our shares in SMIC under the provisions of FASB 115 and mark the shares to the market value
with the offset recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. The cost basis of our shares in SMIC is approximately $3.4 million and the market value at June 30, 2008 was approximately $1.7 million. The market value of SMIC shares is
subject to fluctuations and our carrying value will be subject to adjustments to reflect changes in SMICs market value in future periods. In the event the decline in the market value of our SMIC shares below our cost basis, is determined to be
other-than-temporary, we may be required to recognize a loss on our investment through operating results.

We own shares in Ralink
Technology, Co. (Ralink). On April 8, 2008, Ralink Technology, Co. (Ralink) completed an initial public offering (IPO). Ralinks common shares are traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. In the three months ended June 30, 2008, we sold
shares of our Ralink stock and recorded gross proceeds of approximately $1.8 million and a pre-tax gain of approximately $1.6 million. Since Ralinks IPO, we account for our shares in Ralink under the provisions of FASB

115 and have marked our investment to the market value as of June 30, 2008 by increasing short-term investments and by increasing accumulated other
comprehensive income in the equity section of our balance sheet. The cost basis of our shares in Ralink is approximately $0.5 million and the market value at June 30, 2008 was approximately $4.8 million. The market value of Ralink shares is
subject to fluctuations and our carrying value will be subject to adjustments to reflect the current market value. Certain of our shares in Ralink with a market value at June 30, 2008 of approximately $4.8 million are subject to lockup
restrictions and therefore are not freely tradable. The lockup restrictions will lapse on shares with a market value on June 30, 2008 of $4.3 million in July 2008. The lockup restrictions will lapse on the remaining $0.5 million of shares
equally in October 2008 and April 2009. Thus, all of our shares in Ralink will be freely tradable in April 2009.



|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures
|------- | -----------------------

Our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 or
Rule 15d-15, have concluded that, as of June 30, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, there was no change in our internal control over financial
reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Shareholder Derivative Actions

On July 18, 2006 and July 26, 2006, two purported shareholder derivative actions were filed against certain current and former
directors and officers of ISSI in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, entitled (1) Rick Tope v. Jimmy S.M. Lee, et al., Case No. C06-04387, and (2) Murray Donnelly v. Jimmy S.M. Lee, et
al., Case No. C06-04545. The complaints purport to assert claims against the individual defendants on behalf of ISSI for breach of fiduciary duty, violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act)
and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, unjust enrichment, and restitution based upon our alleged stock option grant practices from 1995 through 2002. ISSI is named solely as a nominal defendant. The complaints seek damages in an unspecified amount
against the individual defendants, disgorgement of stock options or proceeds, equitable relief, attorneys fees, and other unspecified relief. The Court consolidated the two derivative actions on August 22, 2006, under the caption In re
Integrated Silicon Solution, Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation, Master File No. C-06-04387 RMW. Plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint on November 27, 2006, based upon the same underlying facts and circumstances alleged in the prior
complaints. In addition to the claims asserted and the relief sought in the original complaints, the consolidated complaint purports to assert claims against the individual defendants for aiding and abetting and violating Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of
the Exchange Act and seeks an accounting. ISSI is again named solely as a nominal defendant.

On October 31, 2006, another purported
shareholder derivative action was filed against certain current and former directors and officers of ISSI in the Superior Court of California for the County of Santa Clara, entitled Alex Chuzhoy v. Jimmy S.M. Lee, et al., Case
No. 1:06-CV-074031. The complaint purports to assert claims against the individual defendants on behalf of ISSI for insider trading in violation of California Corporations Code Sections 25402 / 25502.5, breach of fiduciary duty including in
connection with the alleged insider selling and misappropriation, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, constructive fraud, corporate waste, unjust enrichment, and rescission, based upon ISSI alleged stock option grant practices from 1995 through
2002. ISSI is named solely as a nominal defendant. The complaint seeks damages in an unspecified amount against the individual defendants, an accounting, certain corporate governance changes, a constructive trust over the defendants stock
options or proceeds, punitive damages, attorneys fees, and other unspecified relief.

On March 19, 2008, ISSI and the individual defendants agreed with the plaintiffs-shareholders to
settle both the federal and state shareholder derivative actions. The settlement is subject to preliminary and final approval of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The Company and its insurers have agreed to
pay up to $2.1 million to plaintiffs counsel for their attorneys fees and the reimbursement of their expenses and costs, subject to approval of the federal court.

SRAM Antitrust Litigation

Thirty-three purported class action lawsuits were filed by U.S.
Direct-Purchaser and U.S. Indirect-Purchaser Plaintiffs against us and other SRAM suppliers in various U.S. federal courts alleging violations of the Sherman Act, violations of state unfair competition laws, and unjust enrichment relating to the
sale and pricing of SRAM products. The U.S. lawsuits have been consolidated in a single federal court for coordinated pre-trial proceedings. The U.S. lawsuits seek treble damages for the alleged damages sustained by purported class members, in
addition to restitution, costs and attorneys fees, as well as an injunction against the allegedly unlawful conduct. As of August 30, 2007, we were voluntarily dismissed from all lawsuits brought by the U.S. Indirect-Purchaser Plaintiffs
pursuant to a Tolling Agreement between us and the U.S. Indirect-Purchaser Plaintiffs. The U.S. Indirect-Purchaser Plaintiffs agreed not to name us as a defendant unless the Tolling Agreement is terminated according to terms specified in that
agreement. On January 9, 2008, we were voluntarily dismissed without prejudice from one of the lawsuits brought by the U.S. Direct-Purchaser Plaintiffs. We remain a defendant in three lawsuits brought by the U.S. Direct-Purchaser Plaintiffs.

Three purported class action lawsuits were filed against us and other SRAM suppliers in three Canadian courts alleging violation of the
Canadian Competition Act and other unlawful conduct. The Canadian complaints seek compensatory and punitive damages, in addition to declaratory relief, restitution, and costs. As of March 20, 2008, we entered into a Tolling Agreement with the
Canadian Plaintiffs. Pursuant to the Tolling Agreement, on March 25, 2008 one of the Canadian lawsuits was discontinued as to us and the other two Canadian lawsuits are to be discontinued as to us.

We are committed to defending ourself against these claims and have instructed our counsel to contest these actions vigorously. Given the preliminary
stage of these proceedings and the inherent uncertainty in litigation, we are unable to predict the outcome of these suits. The final resolution of these alleged violations of federal or state antitrust laws could have a material adverse effect on
our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

SRAM Antitrust Civil Investigative Demand

In May 2007, we received a civil investigative demand (CID) from the Attorney General of the State of Florida. The CID is issued pursuant to
the Florida Antitrust Act in the course of an official investigation to determine whether there is, has been, or may be a violation of state or federal antitrust laws. Although not alleging any wrongdoing, the CID seeks documents and data relating
to our business. As of January 14, 2008 and effective as of May 7, 2007, our obligation to respond to the CID was suspended pursuant to the terms of a Tolling Agreement between us and the Attorney General of Florida. We intend to cooperate
fully with the Attorney General of Florida in this investigation. Because the investigation is at an early stage, we cannot predict the outcome of the investigation and its effect, if any, on its business.

Other Legal Proceedings

In addition to the matters
described above, in the ordinary course of our business, as is common in the semiconductor industry, we have been involved in a limited number of legal actions, both as plaintiff and defendant, and could incur uninsured liability in any one or
more of them. Although the outcome of these actions is not presently determinable, we believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
However, no assurances can be given with respect to the extent or outcome of any such litigation in the future.

Our sales depend on DRAM and SRAM products
and reduced demand for these products or a decline in average selling prices could harm our business.

In the nine months ended
June 30, 2008 and in fiscal 2007, approximately 89% and 86%, respectively, of our net sales were derived from the sale of DRAM and SRAM products, which are subject to unit volume fluctuations and declines in average selling prices that could
harm our business. For example, we experienced a sequential decline in revenue from $63.3 million in our December 2007 quarter to $58.0 million in our March 2008 quarter. This decline in revenue was primarily the result of a decrease in unit
shipments of our DRAM products as we turned down some orders for DRAM products that had unfavorable margins. In addition, we experienced a sequential decline in revenue from $62.1 million in our December 2006 quarter to $60.0 million in our March
2007 quarter. This decline in revenue was primarily the result of a decrease in unit shipments of our SRAM products. From time to time, we have turned down some orders for DRAM products that had unfavorable margins as a result of the decrease in the
average selling prices in the market. We may not be able to offset any future price declines for our products by higher volumes or by higher prices on newer products. Historically, average selling prices for semiconductor memory products have
declined, and we expect that average selling prices for our products will decline in the future. Our ability to maintain or increase revenues will depend upon our ability to increase unit sales volume of existing products and introduce and sell new
products that compensate for the anticipated declines in the average selling prices of our existing products.

Our operating results are expected to
continue to fluctuate and may not meet our financial guidance or published analyst forecasts. This may cause the price of our common stock to decline significantly.

Our future quarterly and annual operating results are subject to fluctuations due to a wide variety of factors, including:



| |  |  | the cyclicality of the semiconductor industry;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | declines in average selling prices of our products;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | inventory write-downs for lower of cost or market or excess and obsolete;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | excess inventory levels at our customers;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | decreases in the demand for our products;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | oversupply of memory products in the market;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to control or reduce our operating expenses;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | shortages in foundry, assembly or test capacity;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | disruption in the supply of wafers, assembly or test services;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in our product mix which could reduce our gross margins;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | cancellation of existing orders or the failure to secure new orders;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a failure to introduce new products and to implement technologies on a timely basis;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | market acceptance of ours and our customers products;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | economic slowness and low end-user demand;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a failure to anticipate changing customer product requirements;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fluctuations in manufacturing yields at our suppliers;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fluctuations in product quality resulting in rework, replacement, or loss due to damages;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a failure to deliver products to customers on a timely basis;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing of significant orders;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------



| |  |  | increased expenses associated with new product introductions, masks or process changes;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability of customers to make payments to us;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the outcome of any pending or future litigation; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the commencement of any future litigation or antidumping proceedings.

We have incurred significant losses in certain recent periods, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to
maintain profitability in the future.

We incurred losses of $14.2 million in fiscal 2006, which included inventory write-downs of $16.5
million. We incurred losses of $39.8 million in fiscal 2005, which included inventory write-downs of $13.9 million, charges of $11.7 million related to our equity interest in ICSI, charges on impairment of goodwill and investments of
$4.7 million and charges for in-process R&D of $2.8 million. Though we were profitable in fiscal 2007 and in the first nine months of fiscal 2008, we incurred inventory write-downs of $10.3 million and $8.0 million in such periods,
respectively, and we would not have been profitable in fiscal 2007 except that we achieved significant income from non-operating activities such as gains on the sale of investments and interest income in such fiscal year. There is no assurance that
we will maintain profitability in future periods. Our ability to maintain profitability on a quarterly or fiscal year basis in the future will depend on a variety of factors, including the need for future inventory write-downs, our ability to
increase net sales, maintain or expand gross margins, introduce new products on a timely basis, secure sufficient wafer fabrication capacity and control operating expenses, including stock-based compensation as required by SFAS 123R. Adverse
developments with respect to these or other factors could result in quarterly or annual operating losses in the future.

We have used and plan to use a
significant amount of our cash resources to repurchase shares of our common stock and such repurchases present potential risks and disadvantages to us and our continuing stockholders.

From September 2007 through January 2008, we repurchased shares of our common stock in the open market under Rule 10b-18 and pursuant to our tender
offers. In particular, in September 2007, we repurchased 1,181,148 shares of our common stock in a tender offer at an aggregate price of approximately $7.4 million. On December 3, 2007, we announced an additional tender offer for up
to 10,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $7.00 per share. Under this offer, in January 2008, we repurchased 10,000,000 shares at an aggregate price of $70 million. At June 30, 2008, we had outstanding authorization from our
Board to purchase up to an additional $10.0 million of our common stock from time to time. Although our Board of Directors has determined that these repurchase programs are in the best interests of our stockholders, these repurchases expose us to a
number of risks including:



| |  |  | the use of a substantial portion of our existing cash reserves, which may reduce our ability to engage in significant cash acquisitions or to pursue other business
opportunities that could create significant value to our stockholders;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risk that we would not be able to replenish our cash reserves by raising debt or equity financing in the future on terms acceptable to us, or at all;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risk that these repurchases have reduced our public float, which is the number of our shares owned by non-affiliate stockholders and
available for trading in the securities markets, and likely reduced the number of our stockholders, which may reduce the volume of trading in our shares and may result in lower stock prices and reduced liquidity in the trading of
our shares; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risk that our stock price could decline and that we would be able to repurchase shares of our common stock at a lower price per share than the prices
we pay in our repurchase programs.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our long term investments are invested in auction rate securities and if auctions continue to fail
for amounts we have invested, our investment will not be liquid. If the issuer is unable to successfully close future auctions and their credit rating deteriorates, we may be required to further adjust the carrying value of our investment
through an impairment charge to earnings.

In February 2008, all the auctions of our auction-rate securities failed as a result of
negative conditions in the global credit markets. Each of these securities had been subject to auction processes for which there had been insufficient bidders on the scheduled rollover dates. The failure resulted in the interest rates on these
investments resetting at the maximum rate allowed per security. Until the auctions are successful, a buyer is found outside of the auction process or the notes are redeemed, the investments are not liquid. In the event we need to access these funds,
we will not be able to do so without a loss of principal, unless a future auction on these investments is successful. We currently believe these securities are not significantly impaired, primarily due to the government backing of the underlying
securities. However, it could take until the final maturity of the underlying notes (up to 40 years) to realize our investments recorded value. Therefore, as of June 30, 2008, we have recorded a temporary impairment charge of $1.1
million against other comprehensive income in our consolidated balance sheet. If the issuers are unable to successfully close future auctions and their credit ratings deteriorate, we may be required to further adjust the carrying value of these
investments and record an impairment charge to earnings for an other than temporary decline in the fair values.

Any future downturn in the markets we serve would harm our business and financial results.

Substantially all of our products are incorporated into products for the digital consumer electronics, networking, mobile communications and automotive
electronics markets. Historically, these markets have experienced cyclical depressed business conditions, often in connection with, or in anticipation of, a decline in general economic conditions or due to adverse supply and demand conditions in
such markets. Industry downturns have resulted in reduced demand and declining average selling prices for our products which adversely affected our business. There have been many recent reports of a slow-down in the U.S. economy and many economists
are predicting a recession in the U.S. later in 2008 or 2009. We are unable to predict whether any such downturn will occur, what impact it will have on our business or how long it will last. We expect our industry will remain cyclical.

Shifts in industry-wide capacity may cause our results to fluctuate. These shifts may occur quickly with little or no advance notice. Such shifts have historically
resulted in significant inventory write-downs.

The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical and is subject to significant downturns
resulting from excess capacity, overproduction, reduced demand or technological obsolescence. Shifts in industry-wide capacity from shortages to oversupply or from oversupply to shortages may result in significant fluctuations in our quarterly or
annual operating results. These shifts in industry conditions can occur quickly with little or no advance notice to us. Adverse changes in industry conditions are likely to result in a decline in average selling prices and the stated value of
inventory. In the first nine months of fiscal 2008, in fiscal 2007 and in fiscal 2006, we recorded inventory write-downs of $8.0 million, $10.3 million, and $16.5 million, respectively. The inventory write-downs related to valuing our inventory
at the lower-of-cost-or-market, and adjusting our inventory valuation for certain excess and obsolete products.

We write down to zero
dollars the carrying value of inventory on hand that has aged over one year to cover estimated excess and obsolete exposures, unless adjustments are made based on managements judgments for newer products, end of life products, planned
inventory increases or strategic customer supply. In making such judgments to write down inventory, management takes into account the product life cycles which can range from six to 30 months, the stage in the life cycle of the product, the impact
of competitors announcements and product introductions on our products. Future additional inventory write-downs may occur due to lower of cost or market accounting, excess inventory or inventory obsolescence.

Our transition to lead-free parts may result in excess inventory of products packaged using traditional methods.

Customers are requiring that we offer our products in lead-free packages. Governmental regulations in certain countries and customers intention to
produce products that are less harmful to the environment has resulted in a requirement from many of our customers to purchase integrated circuits that do not contain lead. We have responded by offering our products in lead-free versions. While the
lead-free versions of our products are expected to be more friendly to the environment, the ultimate impact is uncertain. The transition to lead-free products may produce sudden changes in demand depending on the packaging method used, which may
result in excess inventory of products packaged using traditional methods. This may have an adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, the quality, cost and manufacturing yields of the lead-free parts may be less favorable to us than
the products packaged using more traditional materials which may result in higher product costs.

If we are unable to obtain an adequate supply of
wafers, our business will be harmed.

If we are unable to obtain an adequate supply of wafers from our current suppliers or any
alternative sources in a timely manner, our business will be harmed. Our principal manufacturing relationships are with Powerchip Semiconductor, SMIC, TSMC, and Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing. Each of our wafer foundries also supplies wafers
to other semiconductor companies, including certain of our competitors or for their own account. Although we are allocated specific wafer capacity from our suppliers, we may not be able to obtain such capacity in periods of tight supply. If any of
our suppliers experience manufacturing failures or yield shortfalls, choose to prioritize capacity for other uses, or reduce or eliminate deliveries to us, we may not be able to obtain enough wafers to meet the market demand for our products which
would adversely affect our revenues. Once a product is in production at a particular foundry, it is time consuming and costly to have such product manufactured at a different foundry. In addition, we may not be able to qualify additional
manufacturing sources for existing or new products in a timely manner and we cannot be certain that other manufacturing sources would be able to deliver an adequate supply of wafers to us or at the same cost.

Our gross margins may decline even in periods of increasing revenue.

Our gross margin is affected by a variety of factors, including our mix of products sold, average selling prices for our products and cost of wafers. Even
when our revenues are increasing, our gross margin may be adversely affected if such increased revenue is from products with lower margins such as DRAM for commodity markets or declining average selling prices. During periods of strong demand, wafer
capacity is likely to be in short supply and we will likely have to pay higher prices for wafers, which would adversely affect our gross margin unless we are able to increase our product prices to offset such costs. To maintain our gross margins
when average selling prices are declining, we must introduce new products with higher margins or reduce our cost per unit. There can be no assurance that we will be able to increase unit sales volumes, introduce and sell new products or reduce our
cost per unit.

We may encounter difficulties in effectively integrating newly acquired businesses.

From time to time, we may acquire other companies or assets that we believe to be complementary to our business. Acquisitions may result in use of our
cash resources, potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities, amortization expenses related to intangible assets, and the possible impairment of goodwill, which could harm our profitability. In
addition, acquisitions involve numerous risks, including:



| |  |  | higher than estimated acquisition expenses;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in successfully assimilating the operations, technologies and personnel of the acquired company;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in continuing to develop the new technologies and deliver products to market on time;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | diversion of managements attention from other business concerns;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | risks of entering markets in which we have no, or limited, direct prior experience;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risk that the markets for acquired products do not develop as expected; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the potential loss of key employees and customers as a result of the acquisition.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is no assurance that any future acquisitions will contribute positively to our business or operating results.

We rely on third-party contractors to assemble and test our products and our failure to successfully manage our relationships with these contractors could damage our
relationships with our customers, decrease our sales and limit our growth.

We rely on third-party contractors located in Asia to
assemble and test our products. There are significant risks associated with our reliance on these third-party contractors, including:



| |  |  | reduced control over product quality;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------



| |  |  | potential price increases;
| | - |  | --------------------------



| |  |  | reduced control over delivery schedules;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | possible capacity shortages;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | their inability to increase production and achieve acceptable yields on a timely basis;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | absence of long-term agreements;
| | - |  | --------------------------------



| |  |  | limited warranties on products supplied to us; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | general risks related to conducting business internationally.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------

If any of these risks are realized, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected until our subcontractor is able to remedy the problem or until we are able to secure an alternative subcontractor.

The loss of a significant customer or a reduction in orders from one or more large customers could adversely affect our operating results.

As sales to our customers are executed pursuant to purchase orders and no purchasing contracts typically exist, our customers can cease
doing business with us at any time. We may not be able to retain our key customers, such customers may cancel or reschedule orders, and in the event of canceled orders, such orders may not be replaced by other sales. In addition, sales to any
particular customer may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, and such fluctuating sales could harm our business and financial results.

We have significant international sales and operations and risks related to our international activities could harm
our operating results.

In the nine months ended June 30, 2008, approximately 16% of our net sales was attributable to customers
located in the U.S., 17% was attributable to customers located in Europe and 67% was attributable to customers located in Asia. In fiscal 2007, approximately 18% of our net sales was attributable to customers located in the U.S., 15% was
attributable to customers located in Europe and 67% was attributable to customers located in Asia. In fiscal 2006, approximately 17% of our net sales was attributable to customers located in the U.S., 10% was attributable to customers located in
Europe and 73% was attributable to customers located in Asia. We anticipate that sales to international sites will continue to represent a significant percentage of our net sales. Although our international sales are largely denominated in U.S.
dollars, we do have sales transactions in New Taiwan dollars, in Hong Kong dollars and in Chinese Renminbi. In addition, our wafer foundries and assembly and test subcontractors are in primarily located in Taiwan and China. A substantial majority of
our employees are located outside of the U.S and the expenses for our foreign operations are generally denominated in local currency. As a result, a devaluation of the New Taiwan dollar or Chinese Renminbi could substantially increase the cost of
our operations in Taiwan or China.

We are subject to the risks of conducting business internationally, including:



| |  |  | global economic conditions, particularly in Taiwan and China;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | duties, tariffs and other trade barriers and restrictions;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | foreign currency fluctuations;
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in trade policy and regulatory requirements;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | transportation delays;
| | - |  | ----------------------



| |  |  | the burdens of complying with foreign laws;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | imposition of foreign currency controls;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | language barriers;
| | - |  | ------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in hiring and retaining experienced engineers in countries such as China and Taiwan;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in collecting foreign accounts receivable;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | political instability, including any changes in relations between China and Taiwan;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | public health outbreaks such as SARS or avian flu; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | earthquakes and other natural disasters.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------

Strong
competition in the semiconductor memory market may harm our business.

The semiconductor memory market is intensely competitive and has
been characterized by an oversupply of product, price erosion, rapid technological change, short product life cycles, cyclical market patterns, and heightened foreign and domestic competition. Many of our competitors offer broader product lines and
have greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution and other resources than us. We may not be able to compete successfully against any of these competitors. Our ability to compete successfully in the memory market depends on factors both
within and outside of our control, including:



| |  |  | the pricing of our products;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | the supply and cost of wafers;
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | product design, functionality, performance and reliability;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | successful and timely product development;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the performance of our competitors and their pricing policies;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | wafer manufacturing over or under capacity;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | real or perceived imbalances in supply and demand for our products;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | general economic conditions.
| | - |  | ----------------------------

In
addition, we are vulnerable to technology advances utilized by competitors to manufacture higher performance or lower cost products. We may not be able to compete successfully in the future as to any of these factors. Our failure to compete
successfully in these or other areas could harm our business and financial results.

Our revenues and business would be harmed if we are not able to
successfully develop, introduce and sell new products and develop and implement new manufacturing technologies in a timely manner. Our research and development expenses could increase and our business could be harmed if the implementation of these
new manufacturing technologies is unsuccessful.

We operate in highly competitive, quickly changing markets which are characterized by
rapid obsolescence of existing products. As a result, our future success depends on our ability to develop and introduce new products that our customers choose to buy in significant quantities. If we fail to introduce new products in a timely manner
or if our customers products do not achieve commercial success, our business and results of operations could be seriously harmed. The design and introduction of new products is challenging as such products typically incorporate more functions
and operate at faster speeds than prior products. Increasing complexity generally requires smaller features on a chip. This makes developing new generations of products substantially more difficult than prior generations. The cost to develop
products utilizing these new technologies is expensive and requires significant research and development spending and, as a result, our research and development expenses could increase in the future. Further, new products may not work properly in
our customers applications. If we are unable to design, introduce, market and sell new products successfully, our business and financial results would be seriously harmed.

Our products are complex and could contain defects, which could reduce sales of those products or result in claims against us.

We develop complex and evolving products. Despite testing by us and our customers, errors may be found in existing or new products. This could result in a delay in recognition or loss of revenues, loss of market share
or failure to achieve market acceptance. The occurrence of defects could also cause us to incur significant warranty, support and repair costs, could divert the attention of our engineering personnel from our product development efforts, and could
harm our relationships with our customers. The occurrence of these problems could result in the delay or loss of market acceptance of our products and would likely harm our business. Defects, integration issues or other performance problems in our
products could result in financial or other damages to our customers. Our customers could also seek and obtain damages from us for their losses. From time to time, we have been involved in disputes regarding product warranty issues. Although we seek
to limit our liability, a product liability claim brought against us, even if unsuccessful, would likely be time consuming and could be costly to defend.

Potential intellectual property claims and litigation could subject us to significant liability for damages and could invalidate our proprietary rights.

In the semiconductor industry, it is not unusual for companies to receive notices alleging infringement of patents or other intellectual property rights. We have been, and from time-to-time expect to be, notified of
claims that we may be infringing patents, maskwork rights or copyrights owned by third-parties. If it appears necessary or desirable, we may seek licenses under patents that we are alleged to be infringing. However, licenses may not be offered and
the terms of any offered licenses may not be acceptable to us.

The failure to obtain a license under a key patent or intellectual property right from a third party for
technology used by us could cause us to incur substantial liabilities and to suspend the manufacture of the products utilizing the invention or to attempt to develop non-infringing products, any of which could harm our business. Furthermore, we may
become involved in protracted litigation regarding the alleged infringement by us of third-party intellectual property rights or litigation to assert and protect our patents or other intellectual property rights. Any litigation relating to patent
infringement or other intellectual property matters could result in substantial cost and diversion of our resources, which could harm our business.

We
may be unable to effectively protect our intellectual property, which would negatively impact our ability to compete.

We believe that
the protection of our intellectual proprietary rights will continue to be important to the success of our business. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect our
intellectual property rights. We also enter into confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, consultants and business partners, and control access to and distribution of our documentation and other proprietary information. Despite
these efforts, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our proprietary technology. Monitoring unauthorized use of our technology is difficult, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent
unauthorized use of our technology, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as do the laws of the U.S. Many U.S. companies have encountered substantial infringement problems in foreign
countries, including countries in which we design and sell our products. We cannot be certain that patents will be issued as a result of our pending applications nor can we be certain that any issued patents would protect or benefit us or give us
adequate protection from competing products. For example, issued patents may be circumvented or challenged and declared invalid or unenforceable. We also cannot be certain that others will not develop our unpatented proprietary technology or
effective competing technologies on their own.

We are subject to pending legal proceedings related to the SRAM market.

We have been named as a defendant in a number of civil antirust complaints filed against semiconductor companies on behalf of purchasers of SRAM products
throughout the United States. The complaints allege that the defendants conspired to raise the price of SRAM in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act, the California Cartwright Act, and several other State antitrust, unfair competition and
consumer protection statutes. We have also been named as a defendant in several class action lawsuits filed in Canadian courts alleging violation of the Canadian Competition Act and other unlawful conduct. We believe that we have meritorious
defenses to the allegations in the complaints, and we intend to defend these lawsuits vigorously. However, the litigation is in the preliminary stage and we cannot predict its outcome. Multidistrict antitrust litigation is particularly complex and
can extend for a protracted time, which can substantially increase the cost of such litigation. The defense of these lawsuits is also expected to divert the efforts and attention of some of our key management and technical personnel. As a
result, our defense of this litigation, regardless of its eventual outcome, will likely be costly and time consuming. Should the outcome of the litigation be adverse to us, we could be required to pay significant monetary damages, which could
adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

We have been named as a party to several lawsuits related to our
historical stock option practices and related accounting and we may be named in additional litigation in the future, all of which could result in an unfavorable outcome and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results
of operations, cash flows and the trading price for our securities.

Several shareholder derivative lawsuits have been filed against
certain of our current directors and officers and certain former directors and officers relating to our historical stock option practices and related accounting. We are named as nominal defendant in such matters. See Item 1Legal
Proceedings for a more detailed description of these proceedings. We may become the subject of additional private or government actions regarding these matters in the future. Litigation may be time-consuming, expensive and disruptive to our
normal business operations, and the outcome of litigation is difficult to predict. The defense of these derivative lawsuits has resulted in significant legal and accounting expenditures and the diversion of our managements time and attention
from the operation of our business. All or a portion of any amount we may be required to pay in settlement of these actions or to satisfy a judgment or settlement in any future actions may not be covered by insurance.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our present and former directors and officers. Under those agreements, we are required to
indemnify each such director or officer against expenses, including attorneys fees, judgments, fines and settlements, paid by such individual in connection with the pending litigation subject to applicable Delaware law.

We have acquired equity positions for strategic reasons in other companies which may significantly decrease in value.

Over the last several years, we have acquired equity positions for strategic reasons in other technology companies and we may make
similar equity purchases in the future. In this regard, we own shares in SMIC with a cost basis of approximately $3.4 million and a market value at June 30, 2008 of approximately $1.7 million. The market value of SMIC shares is subject to
fluctuation and our carrying value will be subject to adjustments to reflect the current market value. In the event the decline in the market value of our SMIC shares below our cost basis is determined to be other-than-temporary, we may be required
to recognize a loss on our investment through operating results. In addition, we own shares in Ralink with a cost basis of approximately $0.5 million and a market value at June 30, 2008 of approximately $4.8 million. The market value of Ralink
shares is subject to fluctuation and our carrying value will be subject to adjustments to reflect the current market value.

Changes in securities laws
and regulations are increasing our costs.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that became law in July 2002, as well as rules subsequently
implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Nasdaq Stock Market, have required changes to some of our accounting and corporate governance practices, including the report on our internal controls as required by Section 404 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. These rules and regulations have increased our accounting, legal and other costs, and have made some activities more difficult, time consuming and/or costly. In particular, complying with the internal control
requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has resulted in increased internal efforts, significantly higher fees from our independent registered public accounting firm and significantly higher fees from third party contractors. These
rules and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified executive officers and qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee.

We may experience difficulties in complying with Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 in future periods.

We concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective at September 30, 2007. A key element of Section 404 compliance
involves an analysis of management information systems (MIS). We are in the process of implementing a new worldwide MIS system and we are continuing to use our current systems until the new system is fully implemented. If in the future we are unable
to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective (or if our auditors are unable to express an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal controls), we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our
financial reports, which would have an adverse effect on our stock price.

Our reported financial results may be adversely affected by changes in
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the U.S. These accounting principles are subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Securities and Exchange Commission and
various bodies formed to interpret and create appropriate accounting policies. A change in these policies or interpretations could have a significant effect on our reported financial results, and could affect the reporting of transactions completed
before the announcement of a change. For example, beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, with the adoption of SFAS 123R, we now record a charge to earnings for employee stock option grants for all stock options unvested at and granted after
October 1, 2005. This accounting pronouncement has and is expected to continue to negatively impact our financial results. Technology companies generally, and our company specifically, rely on stock options as a major component of our employee
compensation packages. Because we are required to expense options, we may be less likely to sustain profitability and we have decreased option grants. In particular, beginning in February 2008, we began granting RSUs in conjunction with stock
options in lower amounts than granted historically. Decreasing or eliminating option grants may negatively impact our ability to attract and retain qualified employees.

Our results of operations could vary as a result of the methods, estimates, and judgments we use in applying our accounting policies.

The methods, estimates, and judgments we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on our results of operations (see
Critical Accounting Policies in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q). Such methods, estimates, and

judgments are, by their nature, subject to substantial risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, and factors may arise over time that lead us to change our
methods, estimates, and judgments. Changes in those methods, estimates, and judgments could significantly affect our results of operations. In particular, the calculation of share-based compensation expense under SFAS 123R, requires us to use
valuation methodologies (which were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options and restricted stock units) and a number of assumptions, estimates, and conclusions regarding matters such as expected forfeitures, expected volatility of
our share price, the expected dividend rate with respect to our common stock, and the exercise behavior of our employees. Furthermore, there are no means, under applicable accounting principles, to compare and adjust our expense if and when we learn
about additional information that may affect the estimates that we previously made, with the exception of changes in expected forfeitures of share-based awards. Factors may arise over time that lead us to change our estimates and assumptions with
respect to future share-based compensation arrangements, resulting in variability in our share-based compensation expense over time. Changes in forecasted share-based compensation expense could impact our gross margin percentage; research and
development expenses; and selling, general and administrative expenses.

We depend on our ability to attract and retain our key technical and management
personnel.

Our success depends upon the continued service of our key technical and management personnel. Several of our important
manufacturing and other subcontractor relationships are based on personal relationships between our senior executive officers and such parties. In particular, our Executive Chairman has long-term relationships with our key foundries. If we were to
lose the services of any key executives, it may negatively impact the related business relationships since we have no long-term contractual agreements with such parties. Our success also depends on our ability to continue to attract, retain and
motivate qualified technical personnel, particularly experienced circuit designers and process engineers. The competition for such employees is intense. We have no employment contracts or key person life insurance policies with or for any of our
employees. The loss of the service of one or more of our key personnel could harm our business.

Our stock price is expected to continue to be volatile.

The trading price of our common stock has been and is expected to be subject to wide fluctuations in response to:



| |  |  | quarter-to-quarter variations in our operating results;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | general conditions or cyclicality in the semiconductor industry or the end markets that we serve;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | new or revised earnings estimates or guidance by us or industry analysts;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | comments or recommendations issued by analysts who follow us, our competitors or the semiconductor industry;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | aggregate valuations and movement of stocks in the broader semiconductor industry;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | announcements regarding our share repurchase program and the timing and amount of shares we purchase under such program;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | announcements of new products, strategic relationships or acquisitions by us or our competitors;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increases or decreases in available wafer capacity;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | governmental regulations, trade laws and import duties;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | announcements related to future or existing litigation involving us or any of our competitors;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | announcements of technological innovations by us or our competitors;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | additions or departures of senior management; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, stock markets have experienced extreme price and trading volume volatility in recent years. This volatility has had a substantial effect on the market prices of securities of many technology companies for
reasons frequently unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Foundry capacity can be limited, and we may be required to enter into costly arrangements to secure foundry capacity.

If we are not able to obtain additional foundry capacity as required, our relationships with our customers would be harmed and our
future sales would be adversely impacted. In order to secure foundry capacity, we have entered into in the past, and may enter into in the future, various arrangements with suppliers, which could include:



| |  |  | purchases of equity or debt securities in foundries;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | joint ventures;
| | - |  | ---------------



| |  |  | process development relationships with foundries;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | contracts that commit us to purchase specified quantities of wafers over extended periods;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increased price for wafers;
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | option payments or other prepayments to foundries; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | nonrefundable deposits with, or loans to, foundries in exchange for capacity commitments.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We may not be able to make any such arrangements in a timely fashion or at all, and such arrangements, if any, may not be on terms favorable to us. Once
we make commitments to secure foundry capacity, we may incur significant financial penalties if we subsequently determine that we are not able to utilize all of that capacity. Such penalties may be substantial and could harm our financial results.

Our foundries may experience lower than expected yields which could adversely affect our business.

The manufacture of integrated circuits is a highly complex and technically demanding process. Production yields and device reliability can be affected by
a large number of factors. As is typical in the semiconductor industry, our outside foundries have from time to time experienced lower than anticipated manufacturing yields and device reliability problems, particularly in connection with the
introduction of new products and changes in such foundrys processing steps. There can be no assurance that our foundries will not experience lower than expected manufacturing yields or device reliability problems in the future, which could
materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

Business disruptions could seriously harm our future revenue and financial
condition and increase our costs and expenses.

Our worldwide operations could be subject to natural disasters and other business
disruptions, which could seriously harm our revenue and financial condition and increase our costs and expenses. Our corporate headquarters, and a portion of our research and development activities, are located in California, and our other critical
business operations and many of our suppliers are located in Asia, near major earthquake faults. The ultimate impact on us, our significant suppliers and our general infrastructure of being located near major earthquake faults is unknown, but our
revenue, profitability and financial condition could suffer in the event of a major earthquake or other natural disaster. Losses and interruptions could also be caused by earthquakes, power shortages, telecommunications failures, water shortages,
tsunamis, floods, typhoons, fires, extreme weather conditions, medical epidemics and other natural or manmade disasters.

Terrorist attacks, threats of
further attacks, acts of war and threats of war may negatively impact all aspects of our operations, revenues, costs and stock price.

Terrorist acts, conflicts or wars, as well as future events occurring in response or connection to them, including future terrorist attacks against U.S. targets, rumors or threats of war, actual conflicts involving the U.S. or its allies
(such as the war in Iraq), conflict between China and Taiwan, or trade disruptions impacting our domestic or foreign suppliers or our customers, may impact our operations and may, among other things, cause delays or losses in the delivery of wafers
or other products to us and decreased sales of our products. More generally, these events have affected, and are expected to continue to affect, the general economy and customer demand for products sold by our customers. Any of these occurrences
could have a significant impact on our operating results, revenues and costs, which in turn may result in increased volatility in our common stock price and a decline in the price of our common stock.
