Forward Looking Statements

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains statements relating to expected future results and business trends of the Company that are based upon our current
estimates, expectations, assumptions and projections about our industry, as well as upon certain views and beliefs held by management, that are forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Words such as anticipates, expects, intends, plans, believes, seeks, estimates, may, will, and variations of these words or similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are
forward-looking statements. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, undue reliance should not be placed on such
statements as our actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statement as a result of various factors. These factors include, but are not limited to:

Background

Our mission is to provide differentiated, high-performance analog ICs that meet our customers needs and exceed their expectations. Our objective is
to grow our revenues and earnings faster than our peers. We were formed in August 1999 when we acquired the semiconductor business of Harris Corporation (Harris) and began operating as Intersil. We began our transformation into a
high-performance analog company in 2002 with the acquisition of Elantec Semiconductor, Inc. (Elantec), followed by the divestiture of our wireless networking business in 2003 and the 2004 acquisition of Xicor, Inc. (Xicor)
and the 2007 acquisition of Planet ATE, Inc. (Planet ATE).

##### Table of Contents

switching elements. An example of a bridge driver is a device that opens and closes switches arranged to cause a motor to start, control speed, stop, and
reverse direction. Power management from/to those devices is an element of the technology.

Broadband power
managementBroadband is a term which refers to a signaling method which includes or handles a relatively wide range of frequencies which may be divided into channels. Power management from/to those devices is an element of the technology.

Cellular Base Stationconsists of transmission and reception equipment, including the base station antenna, which connects a
cellular phone to the network.

DVD (digital video disc) recorderalso known as a DVD burner, is an optical disc recorder that
records video onto blank writable DVD media.

GPS (Global Positioning System) systemsdevices that use the Global Navigation
Satellite System, which is comprised of more than two dozen GPS satellites in medium Earth orbit, transmitting signals allowing GPS receivers to determine the receivers location, speed and direction.

High speed (power) convertersa circuit which converts a source of direct current from one voltage to another. Converters are important in
portable electronic devices such as cellular phones and laptop computers, which are supplied with power from batteries. Such electronic devices often contain several sub-circuits with each sub-circuit requiring a unique voltage level different than
that supplied by the battery.

Hot plug power managementhot plugging, also known as hot swapping, is the ability to
remove and replace components of a machine, usually a computer, while it is operating. A well-known example of this functionality is the universal serial bus (USB) that allows users to add or remove peripheral components. Power management from/to
those devices is an element of the technology.

Line driveran amplifier used to improve the transmission reliability of a
digital signal over a metallic transmission line, to longer physical distances, by driving the input to the line with a higher than normal signal level.

MP3 playersdevices that play digital audio in the MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 format, more commonly referred to as MP3, which is an encoding and compression format designed to greatly reduce the amount of data
required to represent the audio content.

Multiplexeralso known as mux is a device that combines several input
signals into a single output signal in such a manner that each of the input signals subsequently can be recovered.

Operational
amplifiersusually referred to as an op-amp, captures weak signals from various inputs and amplifies them for processing. Op-amps are among the most widely used electronic devices today, being utilized in a vast array of
consumer, industrial, and scientific devices.

Geographic Financial Summary

We operate exclusively in the semiconductor industry and primarily the analog sector of that industry. Substantially all revenues result from the sales of
semiconductor products. All intercompany revenues and balances have been eliminated. The revenues noted in this section are based on shipping destination.

In addition to those in the table above, our customers in each of Japan, Germany, Singapore and
Italy accounted for at least 1% of our total revenues in 2007.

Three distributor customers and two original equipment manufacturer
(OEM) customers, each accounting for at least 5% of the Companys revenues, totaled 43% of revenues in fiscal 2007. Two of the distributors represented 11% of revenues each during fiscal 2007 and 21% of aggregate net accounts
receivable at December 28, 2007. The loss of any one or more of these customers could result in a materially negative impact on our business.

Sales, Marketing and Distribution

In 2007, we derived 50% of our revenues from OEM customers, original design manufacturer
(ODM) customers, and contract manufacturers. We derived 50% of our revenues through distributors and value added resellers.

Our sales organization is supported by customer service and logistics organizations throughout the world. Product orders flow to our fabrication facilities or to foundries where the semiconductor wafers are made. Most of our semiconductors
are assembled and tested at the facilities of independent subcontractors. Finished products are then shipped to customers either indirectly via third parties or directly via internally-owned warehouses in the United States, Asia/Pacific and Europe.

To serve our customer base, we maintain a highly focused sales team, which focuses on those major accounts that are strategic to our
marketing and product strategies. We also have direct geographical sales organizations selling products in regions throughout the world. The geographical sales force works closely with a network of distributors and manufacturers
representatives, creating a worldwide selling network. We have dedicated direct sales organizations operating in the North American, European, Japanese, and Asia/Pacific markets. Sales offices are strategically located near major OEM and ODM
customers throughout the world. The technical applications organization is deployed alongside the direct sales force, ensuring both applications and product/customer focus. Our dedicated marketing organization supports field sales and is aligned by
specific product group.

##### Table of Contents

Manufacturers representatives generally do not offer products that compete directly with our
products, but may offer complementary items manufactured by others. Manufacturers representatives do not maintain product inventory; instead, customers place large quantity orders either directly with us or through these manufacturers
representatives. Smaller quantity orders are typically placed through distributors.

Distributors handle a wide variety of products,
including products sold by other companies that compete with our products. Some of our sales to distributors are made under agreements allowing for market price fluctuations and/or the right to return some unsold merchandise. Some of our
distribution agreements contain an industry standard stock rotation provision allowing for minimum levels of inventory returns or scrap. In our experience, these inventory returns can usually be resold. We recognize revenue shipped to North American
distributors when the distributor sells the product. Sales made to international distributors are recognized when product is shipped to the international distributors and provisions are recorded on those sales for expected price fluctuations and
returns.

Research and Development

We
believe that the continued introduction of new products in our target markets is essential to our growth. We incurred costs of $118.3 million, $126.5 million and $134.4 million on research and development projects for 2005, 2006 and 2007,
respectively, including share-based payment expense. In 2007, we introduced over 250 new products for our target markets. We believe that we must continue to innovate, enhance and expand our products and services to maintain our leadership position,
and we intend to achieve this through in-house research and development and, occasionally, selective acquisitions. At December 28, 2007, we had almost 600 employees engaged in research and development.

Manufacturing

We sell many product types that
utilize silicon wafers containing integrated circuits. Our business is dependent upon reliable fabrication, packaging and testing of these wafers. We fabricate wafers of integrated circuits in our Florida manufacturing facility. We also have wafers
of integrated circuits manufactured by leading foundry suppliers such as IBM Microelectronics, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, United Microelectronics Corporation and AMI Semiconductor. We believe that our strategy of employing internal
and foundry suppliers provides an increased level of flexibility and capacity to meet production demand. In addition, this strategy significantly reduces the ongoing capital investment required to maintain our production capabilities. During 2007,
we internally produced approximately 26% of our wafers and sourced the remaining 74% from foundry partners.

Following fabrication, wafers
are subject to packaging and testing processes. The majority of these processes are performed by independent subcontractors located in Malaysia, China, Taiwan and the Philippines. However, we maintain assembly and test capabilities for certain
products in Florida and California.

Historically, certain materials, including silicon wafers and other materials, have been in short
supply. In the recent past, we have not experienced delays in obtaining such materials, which could have adversely affected production. However our reliance on foundry partners for silicon wafers, the building block of our products, is critical and
the relative importance of this part of the supply chain continues to increase, increasing our risk of incurring a production-limiting shortfall. As is typical in the industry, we must allow for significant lead times in delivery of certain
materials. The production of integrated circuits, from wafer fabrication, through packaging and final testing, may take from eight to sixteen weeks. We manufacture thousands of product types and our customers typically require delivery within a
short period of time following their order. To consistently meet these requirements, we maintain a substantial work-in-process and finished goods inventory.

Manufacture, assembly and testing of integrated circuits is a complex process. Normal risks include errors and interruptions in the production process, defects and shortages in raw materials and disruptions at
supplier locations, unexpected demand, as well as other risks, all of which can have an unfavorable impact to production costs, gross margins and our ability to meet customer demand.

Backlog

Our product sales are made pursuant to purchase orders that are generally booked up to six months in advance of delivery. Our standard terms and conditions of sale provide that these orders become non-cancelable thirty days prior to
scheduled delivery for standard products and ninety days prior to scheduled delivery for semi-custom and custom products. Backlog is influenced by several factors, including market demand, pricing and customer order patterns in reaction to product
lead times.

Additionally, we believe backlog can fall disproportionately to consumption rates in periods of weak end-market demand since
production lead times can be shorter. Conversely, we believe backlog can grow faster than consumption in periods of strong end-market demand as production and delivery times increase and some customers may increase orders in excess of their current
consumption to reduce their own risk of production disruptions.

Our six-month backlog at December 28, 2007 was $176.4 million
compared to December 29, 2006 of $117.7 million. Although not always the case, as discussed in the foregoing paragraph, backlog can be a leading indicator of revenue performance for approximately the next two quarters.

See Business Outlook elsewhere in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations relating to
expected revenues in the near term.

Seasonality

The high-end consumer and computing markets generally experience relatively weak demand in the first half of each year and stronger demand in the second half of each year.

Competition

The high performance analog market is
extremely competitive. We compete in our target markets with many companies that have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing and marketing resources than us, including but not limited to Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, Linear
Technology, and Maxim Integrated Products. We compete on the basis of technical performance, product features, customized design, price, availability, quality and sales and technical support. Our ability to compete successfully depends on elements
both within and outside of our control, including successful and timely development of new products and manufacturing processes, product performance and quality, manufacturing yields, product availability, intellectual property protection obtained
by us and our competitors, customer service, pricing, industry trends and general economic trends.

Trademarks and Patents

We own rights to a number of trademarks and patents that are important to our business. Our trademarks do not expire as long as we continue to use them in
our business. We have registered some of our trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and other foreign governmental trademark authorities. These registrations provide rights in addition to basic trademark rights. As long as we comply
with renewal and other procedures specified by the applicable trademark laws, these additional rights will not expire. Our corporate policy is to protect proprietary products by obtaining patents for these products when practicable. We currently
possess over 1,000 U.S. and foreign patents and have approximately 350 US and foreign patents pending. The expiration dates of these patents range from 2008 to 2026.

Employees

Our worldwide workforce consisted of 1,494 employees (full- and part-time) at
December 28, 2007. None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

Environmental Matters

Our operations are subject to environmental laws in the countries in which we operate. The regulations govern, among other things, air and water emissions at our manufacturing facilities, the management and disposal
of hazardous substances, and the investigation and remediation of environmental contamination. As with other companies in our business, the nature of our operations exposes us to the risk of environmental liabilities and claims. We believe, however,
that our operations are substantially in compliance with applicable environmental requirements. Our costs and capital expenditures to comply with environmental regulations have been immaterial during the last three fiscal years and our anticipated
capital expenditures for environmental matters for our fiscal year 2008 are immaterial.

The Company sold its facility in Pennsylvania to
Fairchild Semiconductor (Fairchild) in 2001. Fairchild subsequently alleged that trichloroethylene was discovered in the groundwater under that site, and has indicated that they will be seeking indemnification from Intersil. To the extent any
contamination was caused prior to August 1999, Harris has indemnified Intersil against any associated environmental liabilities. This indemnification does not expire, nor does it have a maximum amount.

The Harris facilities in Palm Bay, Florida, are listed on the National Priorities List (NPL) for groundwater clean up under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liabilities Act (Superfund). Our adjacent facility is included in the listing since it was owned by Harris at the time of the listing. Remediation activities associated with the NPL site have
ceased. However, Harris has continuing obligations to conduct groundwater monitoring on our property. Harris has agreed to indemnify us against any environmental liabilities associated with this contamination that existed when we purchased it. The
indemnification from Harris has no expiration date nor is it subject to a dollar limitation.

Our former facility in Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia, which we sold in June 2000, has known groundwater contamination from past operations. The contamination was discovered in May 2000, during the closure activities associated with a former waste storage pad. This contamination has been
attributed to activities conducted prior to our acquisition of the facility from Harris. Harris is conducting additional investigations and some remediation may be required. Harris has agreed to indemnify us against any environmental liabilities
associated with this contamination, and we have agreed to indemnify the purchaser against those liabilities. Neither Harris indemnification nor ours have an expiration date, nor are they subject to dollar limitation.

Based on the historical costs of these projects, previous experience with other remediation activities and our indemnification from Harris, we do not
believe that the future cleanup costs to these facilities will be material to us. Future laws or regulations and changes in the existing environmental laws or regulations may subject our operations to different, additional or more stringent
standards. While historically the cost of compliance with environmental laws has not had a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, we cannot predict with certainty our future costs of compliance because
of changing standards and requirements. We cannot be certain that material costs will not be incurred in connection with the future compliance with environmental laws or with future cleanup costs related to currently unknown contamination.

|Item 1A. | RISK FACTORS
|-------- | ------------

You should carefully consider and
evaluate all of the information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the risk factors listed below. The risks described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks not now known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may
also impair our business operations. If any of these risks occur, our business could be materially harmed. If our business is harmed, the trading price of our Class A common stock could decline.

As discussed in Forward Looking Statements in Item 1 above, this Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward looking statements, including as a result of the risks described in the cautionary statements in this Risk Factors section
and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, in our other filings with the SEC, and in material incorporated by reference. We undertake no duty to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise.

RISK FACTORS RELATING TO GENERAL BUSINESS CONDITIONS

Our quarterly revenues and operating results are unpredictable and are likely to fluctuate.

Our
revenues and operating results may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, not all of which are in our control. We manage our expense levels based in part on our expectations of future revenues. If revenue levels
in a particular quarter do not meet our expectations, our operating results may be adversely affected. Because our operating expenses are based in part on anticipated future revenues, and a certain amount of those expenses are relatively fixed, a
change in the timing of recognition of revenue and/or the level of gross profit can unfavorably affect operating results in a particular quarter. Factors that may cause our financial results to fluctuate unpredictably include, but are not limited
to:

Downturns in the macroeconomic business cycle could reduce our revenues and profitability.

The
semiconductor industry, including its analog segment, is highly cyclical. This cyclicality could create significant variation in our operating results. The markets in which we compete may experience downturns in the future that negatively affect our
sales. A macroeconomic downturn may cause us to experience a significant decrease in our operating income margins as a result of declining sales and resulting industry changes such as product mix, price competition and costs associated with the need
for continual and rapid introduction of new products.

The markets for our products depend on continued end-user demand for consumer and
business electronics products as well as products in communications and industrial markets. Such demand may be adversely affected by national or global economic uncertainties, such as continuing increases in oil prices, fluctuating interest rates,
subprime mortgage failures and other disruptions in credit markets, and other matters that contribute to reductions in consumer or corporate spending. As a result our revenues and gross margins could be adversely affected.

Business interruptions could harm our business.

Our
worldwide operations could be subject to natural disasters and other business disruptions, which could harm our future revenue and financial condition and increase our costs and expenses. For example, our two wafer fabrication facilities are located
on the east coast of Florida. Operations at these facilities have, at times, been interrupted by hurricanes and may be interrupted by hurricanes in the future. Further, our corporate headquarters is located near major earthquake fault lines in
California, and we have been unable to obtain earthquake insurance at reasonable costs and limits. In the event of a major hurricane, earthquake, or other natural or manmade disaster, we could experience loss of life of our employees, destruction of
facilities or other business interruptions, any of which could materially adversely affect us. In addition, the operations of our suppliers could be subject to natural disasters and other business disruptions, which could cause shortages and price
increases in various essential materials. If the operations of our suppliers are affected by natural disasters or business disruptions, we may have to reduce our manufacturing operations. Such disruptions could, in the future, have a material
adverse effect on us.

We are also heavily reliant on third party freight firms for nearly all of our shipments from vendors, from our
foundries to assembly and test sites, primarily in Asia, and for shipments to customers of our final product. This includes ground and air freight and may also include seaborne freight. Any significant disruption of such freight business globally or
in certain parts of the world, particularly where our operations are concentrated, would materially affect our ability to generate revenues. Business interruption insurance may not provide protection due to the deductible periods or be enough to
compensate us for losses that may occur. Accordingly, any of these disruptions could significantly harm our business.

##### Table of Contents

Our business has been and is expected to continue to be characterized by average selling prices (ASPs)
that decline over relatively short time periods, which can negatively affect our results of operations unless we are able to sell more units, reduce our costs, introduce new products with higher ASPs or some combination thereof.

ASPs for our products historically have declined over relatively short time periods. For example, in fiscal 2007 our ASPs decreased by approximately ten
percent compared with fiscal 2006; and in fiscal 2006 our ASPs had decreased by approximately two percent compared with fiscal 2005. We are unable to predict pricing conditions for any future periods. When our average selling prices decline,
our net sales and net income decline unless we are able to compensate by selling more units, reduce our costs or introduce new, higher margin products that incorporate advanced features.

RISK FACTORS RELATING TO PRODUCTION OPERATIONS

Production time and the cost of our products could increase if we
were to lose one of our limited number of suppliers or if one of those suppliers increased the prices of raw materials.

Our operating
results could be adversely affected if we were unable to obtain adequate supplies of raw materials in a timely manner or if the costs of raw materials increased significantly. Our manufacturing operations depend upon obtaining adequate supplies of
raw materials on a timely basis. We purchase raw materials, such as silicon wafers, from a limited number of suppliers on a just-in-time basis. From time to time, suppliers may extend lead times, limit supplies or increase prices due to capacity
constraints or other factors.

Because we depend on third party foundries and other manufacturing subcontractors to manufacture, assemble and test some
of our products, we may experience delays beyond our control in delivering those products to our customers.

We use both internal wafer
fabrication facilities and third-party wafer fabrication foundries in manufacturing our products. We intend to continue to rely on third party foundries and other specialist suppliers for most of our manufacturing requirements and most of our
assembly and testing requirements. However, certain of these third party foundries are not obligated to supply products to us for any specific period, in any specific quantity or at any specific price. As a result, we cannot directly control
semiconductor delivery schedules, which could lead to product shortages, quality assurance problems and increases in the cost of our products. We may experience delays in the future and we cannot be sure that we will be able to obtain semiconductors
within the time frames and in the volumes required by us at an affordable cost or at all. Any disruption in the availability of wafers and other semiconductor materials or any problems associated with the delivery, quality or cost of the
fabrication, assembly and testing of our products could significantly hinder our ability to deliver our products to our customers and may result in a decrease in sales of our products. If the third party foundries we currently use are unable to
provide our products, we may be required to seek new foundries, and we cannot be certain that their services will be available at favorable terms or that sufficient capacity will be available in a reasonable time period.

In addition, the manufacture of our products is a highly complex and precise process, requiring production in a highly controlled environment. Changes in
manufacturing processes or the inadvertent use of defective or contaminated materials by a third party foundry could adversely affect the foundrys ability to achieve acceptable manufacturing yields and product reliability. If the third party
foundries we currently use do not achieve adequate yields or product reliability, our customer relationships could suffer. This could ultimately lead to a loss of sales of our products and have a negative effect on our reputation, business,
financial condition and/or results of operations.

We rely on manufacturing capacity located in geologically unstable areas, which could affect the availability of
supplies and services.

We rely on wafer fabrication foundries and other test, assembly and packaging sub-contractors in geologically
unstable locations around the world. This reliance involves risks associated with the impact of earthquakes and other natural disasters on us, including temporary loss of capacity, availability and cost of key raw materials and equipment and
availability of key services including transport. Any prolonged inability on the part of these foundries and/or sub-contractors to serve us as a result of fire, natural disaster, unavailability of electric power or otherwise, would have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Delays in production at new facilities, in implementing new production techniques
or in curing problems associated with technical equipment malfunctions may lower yields and reduce our revenues and profitability.

Our
manufacturing processes are highly complex, require advanced and costly equipment and are continuously being modified in an effort to improve yields and product performance. Impurities or other difficulties in the manufacturing process can lower
yields. Our manufacturing efficiency is an important factor in our future profitability, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our manufacturing efficiency or increase manufacturing efficiency to the same extent as our
competitors.

In addition, as is common in the semiconductor industry, we have from time to time experienced difficulty in beginning
production at new facilities or in effecting transitions to new manufacturing processes. Resultant delays have ranged in length from one month to six months. During the past five years we have experienced one material delay (six months) of starting
production at a new facility and no material delays in producing product using new manufacturing processes. As a consequence, we suffered delays in product deliveries and reduced yields. We may experience manufacturing problems in achieving
acceptable yields or experience product delivery delays in the future as a result of, among other things, capacity constraints, construction delays, upgrading or expanding existing facilities or changing our process technologies, any of which could
result in a loss of future revenues. Increases in fixed costs and operating expenses related to increases in production capacity may adversely affect our operating results if revenues do not increase proportionately.

We rely on a limited number of packaging subcontractors that may not have adequate capacity to meet our product delivery requirements.

We rely on a limited number of independent packaging subcontractors with whom we do not have long-term contracts. A substantial majority of the IC wafers
we fabricate or purchase from our outside foundries are sent to our packaging subcontractors for packaging and assembly. Our reliance on these subcontractors involves significant risks to us, including the possibility that the subcontractors will
lack adequate capacity to deliver our products at the times and in the quantities that we request, the subcontractors will eliminate process technologies necessary for our products and the quality of our products will suffer from our lack of control
over packaging and delivery. These subcontractors may discontinue doing business with us for a variety of reasons. As a result, we may experience product delivery and quality assurance problems, which in turn may harm our reputation and operating
results.

If our products contain defects or fail to achieve industry reliability standards, our reputation may be harmed, and we may incur significant
unexpected expenses and lose sales opportunities. Our insurance coverage for such events may be insufficient.

Our products have in the
past contained, and may in the future contain, undetected errors or defects. Any similar problem in the future may:



| |  |  | cause delays in product introductions and shipments;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | result in increased costs and diversion of development resources;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | cause us to incur increased charges due to obsolete or unusable inventory;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | require design modifications; or
| | - |  | --------------------------------



| |  |  | decrease market acceptance or customer satisfaction with these products, which could result in product returns.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, we may not find defects or failures in our products until after commencement of commercial shipments, which may result in loss or delay in
market acceptance and could significantly harm our operating results. Our current or potential customers also might seek to recover from us any losses resulting from defects or failures in our products; further, such claims might be significantly
higher than the revenues and profits we receive from our products involved as we are usually a component supplier with limited value content relative to the value of a complete system or sub-system. Liability claims could require us to spend
significant time and money in litigation or to pay significant damages for which we may have insufficient insurance coverage. Any of these claims, whether or not successful, could seriously damage our reputation and business.

RISK FACTORS RELATING TO R&D, ENGINEERING, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES

We may be unsuccessful in developing and selling new products required to maintain or expand our business.

We operate in a dynamic environment characterized by price erosion, rapid technological change and design and other technological obsolescence. Our competitiveness and future success depend on our ability to achieve design wins for our
products with current and future customers and introduce new or improved products that meet customer needs while achieving favorable margins. A failure to achieve design wins, to introduce these new products in a timely manner or to achieve market
acceptance for these products, could harm our business.

The introduction of new products presents significant business challenges because
product development commitments and expenditures must be made well in advance of the related revenues. The success of a new product depends on accurate forecasts of long-term market demand and future technological developments, as well as on a
variety of specific implementation factors, including:



| |  |  | timely and efficient completion of process design and development;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | timely and efficient implementation of manufacturing and assembly processes;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | product performance;
| | - |  | --------------------



| |  |  | the quality and reliability of the product; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



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

The failure of our products to achieve market acceptance due to these or other factors could harm our business.

We use a significant amount of
intellectual property in our business. If we are unable to protect this intellectual property, we could lose our right to prevent others from using our key technologies, resulting in decreased revenues.

Our future success and competitive position depend in part upon our ability to develop or obtain and subsequently maintain proprietary technology used in
our principal products. We rely on intellectual property rights, including, but not limited to, rights existing under patent, trade secret, trademark, maskwork and copyright law, to protect this technology. Some of our technology is not covered by
any patent or patent application, and there are risks that:



| |  |  | some of the more than 1,000 patents that we own may be invalidated, circumvented, or challenged;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



15



---

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | the patents that we own may not provide competitive advantages to us; or
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | some of our pending or future patent applications may not be issued with the initially sought scope of the claims sought by it, if issued at all.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Further, others may develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology, duplicate our technology or
design around our patents. In addition, effective patent, trademark, copyright, maskwork and trade secret protection may be unavailable, limited or not applied for in certain foreign countries.

We also seek to protect our proprietary technology, including technology that may not be patented or patentable, in part by confidentiality agreements
and, if applicable, inventors rights agreements with our collaborators, advisors, employees and consultants. We cannot assure you that these agreements will always be undertaken or will not be breached or that we will have adequate remedies
for any breach.

Some of our current licenses to use others technology and intellectual property are scheduled to expire periodically
over the next several years, unless extended. We will need to negotiate renewals of these agreements or obtain the technology and intellectual property from alternative sources. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain alternative
technology and intellectual property, or renewals on substantially similar terms as those that currently exist or at all.

The failure to
protect our intellectual property, to extend its existing license agreements, or utilize alternative technology could adversely affect our revenues.

Products that we manufacture and sell, or products formerly produced and sold by us and now manufactured and sold by purchasers of business that we have divested, may infringe other parties intellectual property rights. We may have
to pay others for infringement and misappropriation of their intellectual property rights, suspend the manufacture, use or sale of some affected products, or incur the cost of defending in a litigation, resulting in significant expense to us.

The semiconductor industry is characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit of intellectual property rights. We have received, and may
receive in the future, notices of claims of infringement and misappropriation of other parties proprietary rights. In the event of an adverse decision in a patent, trademark, copyright, maskwork or trade secret action, we could be required to
withdraw the product or products found to be infringing from the market or redesign products offered for sale or under development. We have, at times, assumed indemnification obligations in favor of our customers that could be triggered upon an
allegation or finding of our infringement of other parties proprietary rights. We have also, at times, assumed indemnification obligations in favor of the purchasers of businesses that we have divested that could be triggered upon an
allegation or finding of infringement of other parties proprietary rights by those purchasers. These indemnification obligations would be triggered for reasons including the sale or supply of a product that was later discovered to infringe
another partys proprietary rights. Whether or not these infringement claims are successfully asserted, we would likely incur significant costs and diversion of our resources with respect to the defense of these claims. To address any potential
claims or actions asserted against us or those we have indemnified, we may seek to obtain a license under a third partys intellectual property rights. However, in such an instance, a license may not be available on commercially reasonable
terms, if at all. Litigation could result in significant expense to us, adversely affecting sales of the challenged product or technology and diverting the efforts of our technical and management personnel, whether or not the litigation is
determined in our favor. In the event of an adverse outcome in any litigation, we may be required to:



| |  |  | pay substantial damages, which may include enhanced damages for willful infringement, and incur significant attorneys fees;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | indemnify customers for damages they might suffer if the products they purchase from us infringe intellectual property rights of others;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are subject to litigation risks.

We are, from time to time, subject to legal claims. We are involved in a variety of routine legal matters that arise in the normal course of business. We
believe it is unlikely that the final outcome of these legal claims will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operation. However, claims, the claims process, and litigation are inherently uncertain and
unpredictable. An unfavorable resolution of any particular legal claim or proceeding could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

RISK FACTORS RELATING TO INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

Our future success depends on international sales and the
management of global operations.

Non-U.S. sales accounted for approximately 83% of our revenue in fiscal 2007. We expect that
international sales will continue to account for a significant majority of our total revenue in future years. We are subject to various challenges related to the management of global operations, and international sales are subject to risks
including, but not limited to:



| |  |  | trade balance issues;
| | - |  | ---------------------



| |  |  | economic and political conditions;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in currency controls;
| | - |  | -----------------------------



| |  |  | differences in our ability to acquire and enforce our intellectual property and contract rights in varying jurisdictions;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to develop relationships with local suppliers;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | compliance with U.S. laws and regulations;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | compliance with international laws and regulations, including the European Unions Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), which bans lead and
certain other substances from products put on the market;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fluctuations in interest and currency exchange rates;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the need for technical support resources in different locations;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to secure and retain qualified people for the operation of our business; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the actions of foreign sovereign governments
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------

Many of the challenges noted above are applicable in China, which is a large and fast growing market for semiconductors and therefore an area of additional and continued growth for our business. As the business volume between China and the
rest of the world grows, there is inherent risk, based on the complex relationships between China, Taiwan, Japan, and the United States, that political and diplomatic influences might lead to trade disruptions which would adversely affect our
business with China and/or Taiwan and perhaps the entire Asia/Pacific region. A significant trade disruption in these areas could have a material, adverse impact on our future revenue and profits.

##### Table of Contents

Fluctuations in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies could increase operating expenses and
negatively affect our financial performance and results of operations.

While we and our subsidiaries transact business primarily in
U.S. dollars, and most of our revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars, a portion of the costs and revenues is denominated in other currencies, such as the Euro and the Japanese Yen. As a result, changes in the exchange rates of these currencies or
any other applicable currencies to the U.S. dollar will affect the costs of goods sold and operating margins and could result in exchange losses. The impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on results of operations cannot be accurately
predicted. From time to time, we have engaged in, and may continue to engage in, exchange rate hedging activities in an effort to mitigate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. However, any hedging technique that we may implement may not be
effective or may result in foreign exchange hedging losses.

We are subject to export restrictions and laws affecting trade and investments.

As a global company headquartered in the United States, we are subject to U.S. laws and regulations that limit and restrict the export
of some of our products. Compliance with these laws has not significantly limited our operations or our sales in the recent past but could significantly limit them in the future. We maintain an export compliance program but there are risks that the
compliance controls could be circumvented, exposing us to legal liabilities. We must also comply with export restrictions and laws imposed by other countries affecting trade and investments. Although these restrictions and laws have not
significantly restricted our operations in the recent past, there is a risk that they could do so in the future.

RISK FACTORS RELATING TO SALES,
MARKETING AND COMPETITION

Our business is very competitive, and increased competition could reduce gross margins and the value of an investment in
our company.

The semiconductor industry, and the semiconductor product markets specifically, are intensely competitive. Competition is
based on price, product performance, quality, reliability and customer service. The gross margins realizable in our markets can differ across regions, depending on the economic strength of end-product markets in those regions. Even in strong
markets, price pressures may emerge as competitors attempt to gain more market share by lowering prices. Competition in the various markets in which we participate comes from companies of various sizes, many of which are larger and have greater
financial and other resources than we have and thus can better withstand adverse economic or market conditions. Some of our competitors may have better established supply or development relationships with our current and potential customers.
Competitors include manufacturers and designers of standard semiconductors, application-specific integrated circuits, and fully customized integrated circuits, as well as customers who develop their own integrated circuit products. In addition,
companies not currently in direct competition with us may introduce competing products with superior performance attributes in the future.

We compete
against larger, more established entities as well as foreign and other market entrants and our market share may be reduced if we are unable to respond to our competitors effectively.

The semiconductor industry is characterized by price erosion, rapid technological change, and design and other technological obsolescence. We compete with
domestic and international semiconductor companies, some of which have substantially greater financial and other resources with which to pursue engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of their products. We expect continued competition
from existing competitors as well as competition from new entrants in the semiconductor market, especially Asian-based producers. Our ability to compete successfully in the rapidly evolving area of integrated circuit technology depends on several
factors, including:



| |  |  | success in designing and manufacturing new products that implement new technologies;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | protection of our proprietary products, processes, trade secrets and know-how;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | financial strength.
| | - |  | -------------------

To the extent
that our products achieve market success, competitors typically seek to offer competitive products or lower prices, which, if successful, could harm our business.

We depend upon the continued demand for our products in the high-end consumer, communications, industrial and computing markets for a significant portion of our net revenues.

We realize substantially all of our net revenues from products sold in the high-end consumer, communications, industrial and computing markets. Therefore,
our success currently depends on the continued acceptance of our products within these markets and our ability to continue to develop and introduce new products on a timely basis for these markets. These markets may experience changes in demand that
will adversely affect our business and operating results.

We may not be able to satisfy rapidly increasing demand for our products on a timely basis
and increased production may lead to overcapacity and lower prices.

Historically, the often cyclical nature of the semiconductor
industry has resulted in sustained and short-term periods when demand for our products has increased or decreased rapidly. During these periods of rapid increases in demand, our available capacity (both our internal capacity and our arranged supply
and subcontracted capacities) may not be sufficient to satisfy the available demand. In addition, we may not be able to expand our workforce and operations in a sufficiently timely manner, procure adequate resources, or locate additional, qualified
third-party suppliers, to respond effectively to changes in demand for our existing products or to the demand for new products requested by our customers. As a result our future business could be materially and adversely affected. Conversely, if we
expand our operations and workforce too rapidly or procure excessive resources in anticipation of increased demand for our products, and such demand does not materialize at the pace at which we expect, our operating results may be adversely
affected. These capacity expansions by us and other directly competitive analog IC manufacturers could also lead to overcapacity in our served and target markets which could lead to price erosion that would adversely impact our operating results.

Difficulties in estimating the amount and timing of sales to our customers could harm our operating results.

It is difficult for us to forecast accurately the timing and amount of sales to our customers, which include distributors and original equipment
manufacturers. Customers generally take a long time to evaluate products and technologies before committing to design our products into their systems. Moreover, our business is characterized by short-term orders and shipment schedules, and customer
orders typically may be canceled or rescheduled on short notice to us and without significant penalty to our customers. We do not have substantial non-cancelable backlog and often we are forced to obtain inventory and materials from our
manufacturing subcontractors in advance of anticipated customer demand. Because we incur expenses, many of which are fixed, based in part on our forecasts of future revenue, our operating results could be harmed if sales levels are below our
expectations.

##### Table of Contents

Most of our distributors and resellers, who represent approximately 41% of net sales, can terminate their contract
with us with little or no notice. The termination of a distributor could result in a materially negative impact on our business, including net sales and accounts receivable.

In fiscal 2007, our distributors and value-added resellers accounted for approximately 41% of our net sales. We generally do not have non-cancelable,
long-term contracts with these parties and most can terminate their agreement with us with little or no notice. Two of our distributors each accounted for 11% of our net sales in fiscal 2007. The termination of a significant distributor or reseller
could impact our net sales and limit our access to certain end-customers. It could also result in the return of excess inventory of our product they hold as the distributor. Since many distributors simply resell our products, they generally operate
on low profit margins. If a distributor or reseller were to terminate their agreement with us or go out of business, our unsecured accounts receivable from them are subject to collection risk.

RISK FACTORS RELATING TO ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS, GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS, INCLUDING TAXES, AND FINANCIAL REPORTING RULES AND REGULATIONS

Environmental liabilities and other governmental regulatory matters could force us to expend significant capital and incur substantial costs.

We are subject to various environmental laws relating to the management, disposal and remediation of hazardous materials and the discharge of pollutants
into the environment. We are also subject to laws relating to workplace safety and worker health which, among other things, regulate employee exposure to hazardous substances. Harris Corporation has agreed to indemnify us for substantially all
environmental liabilities related to events or activities occurring before our acquisition of their semiconductor business. This indemnification does not expire, nor is it subject to a dollar limitation.

The nature of our ongoing operations exposes us to the risk of liabilities with respect to environmental matters, including those relating to the on- and
off-site disposal and release of hazardous materials, and there can be no assurance that material costs will not be incurred in connection with such liabilities.

Based on our experience, we believe that the future cost of compliance with existing environmental and health and safety laws (and liability for known environmental conditions) even without the indemnity from Harris
will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. However, we cannot predict:



| |  |  | what environmental or health and safety legislation or regulations will be enacted in the future;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | how existing or future laws or regulations will be enforced, administered or interpreted;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the amount of future expenditures which may be required to comply with these environmental or health and safety laws or to respond to future cleanup matters or
other environmental claims; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the extent of our obligations to the purchasers of our environmentally challenged sites.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our financial results may be adversely impacted by higher than expected tax rates, exposure to additional income tax liabilities and the adoption of new accounting
pronouncements regarding income tax accounting.

As a global company, our effective tax rate is highly dependent upon the geographic
composition of worldwide earnings and tax regulations governing each region. We are subject to income taxes in both the United States and various foreign jurisdictions, and significant judgment is required to determine worldwide tax liabilities. Our
effective tax rate as well as the actual tax ultimately payable could be adversely affected by changes in the split of earnings between countries with differing statutory tax rates, in the valuation of deferred tax assets, in tax laws or by material
audit assessments, which could affect our profitability. In particular, the



20

##### Table of Contents

carrying value of deferred tax assets, which are predominantly in the United States, is dependent on our ability to generate future taxable income in the
United States. In addition, the amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits in various jurisdictions, and a material assessment by a governing tax authority could affect our profitability.

In fiscal 2007, we adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Boards Financial Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 requires us to record our tax expense differently than we might otherwise have done so in the past based on various estimates of probabilities of events. As a result, our tax expense will likely be
more volatile than in the past or may be more volatile due to additional reasons. Volatility in tax expense contributes to volatility in reported financial results.

Accounting pronouncements are moving toward fair value accounting, which also may lead to more volatility in reported earnings which might cause a decline in our stock price.

In recent years, new accounting pronouncements and guidance have been promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board that require companies to
regularly attempt to determine or estimate the fair value of both certain assets and certain liabilities and adjust those amounts to reflect the revised estimates. Recent pronouncements have broadened this trend to direct how to estimate and account
for fair value measurements as well as to give companies the option to apply fair value measurements more broadly to many financial assets and liabilities. For us, particularly regarding indefinite life intangible assets (goodwill),
certain other long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment, and stock-based compensation, these standards increase the likelihood that we will encounter a situation requiring a significant adverse adjustment to our statement
of operations and earnings per share measures. Such an adverse and significant adjustment to our operating results might cause our investors and the analysts who follow our industry to change their opinion of our prospects.

Changes in accounting standards for stock-based compensation may adversely affect our operating results and our competitiveness in the employee marketplace.

The adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the accounting pronouncement regarding stock-based compensation, required us to expense our
calculated stock-based compensation provided to employees beginning in our fiscal 2006. The market in which we compete for the skilled employees that are knowledgeable in our required disciplines is a competitive one, and we believe that stock-based
compensation is an important part of the overall compensation that we offer to attract and retain such employees. SFAS No. 123R had reduced our earnings as reported on a generally accepted accounting principles basis by the amount of
stock-based compensation in both 2006 and 2007. There is some risk that the design of our compensation plans is ineffective at balancing our profitability and employee retention objectives.

We are subject to the internal control evaluation and attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to include in our annual report our assessment of the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting and our audited financial statements as of the end of each fiscal year. Furthermore, our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, is required to attest to whether our assessment of the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting is fairly stated in all material respects and separately report on whether it believes we maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of
the end of each fiscal year. We have successfully completed our assessment and obtained KPMG LLP attestation as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 2007. In future years, if we fail to
complete this assessment on a timely basis, or if KPMG LLP cannot attest to our assessment, we could be subject to regulatory sanctions and a loss of investor confidence in our internal controls. In addition, any failure to implement required new or
improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation or the operation of existing controls, could cause us to fail to meet our regulatory reporting obligations on a timely basis.

Our independent registered public accounting firm must confirm its independence in order for us to meet our regulatory
reporting obligations on a timely basis.

Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, communicates with us at least
annually regarding any relationships between KPMG LLP and us that, in their professional judgment, might have a bearing on their independence with respect to us. If, for whatever reason, KPMG LLP finds that it cannot confirm that it is independent
of us based on existing securities laws and registered public accounting firm independence standards, we could experience delays or other failures to meet our regulatory reporting obligations.

RISK FACTORS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS STRATEGIES, PERSONNEL AND OTHER OPERATIONS

If we fail to attract and retain qualified personnel, our business may be harmed.

Our future success
depends largely upon the continued service of our key management and technical personnel, and on our continued ability to hire, integrate and retain qualified management and technical personnel, particularly engineers. Competition for these
employees in the analog semiconductor industry is intense, and we may not be successful in attracting or retaining these personnel. In addition, it is difficult to obtain work visas for foreign professionals trained in the United States. The loss of
any key employee, the failure of any key employee to perform in his or her current position or our inability to attract and retain skilled employees as needed could impair our ability to meet customer and technological demands. The loss of the
services of any executive officer or other key technical or management personnel could harm our business. To help retain the continued services of some of our key executives, we have entered into employment agreements with some of them. We do not
have key person life insurance on any of our key personnel.

If we choose to acquire or dispose of product lines and technologies, we may encounter
unforeseen costs and difficulties that could impair our financial performance.

An important element of our management strategy is to
review acquisition prospects that would complement our existing products, augment our market coverage and distribution ability, or enhance our technological capabilities. As a result, we may make acquisitions of companies, products or technologies,
or we may reduce or dispose of certain product lines or technologies which no longer fit our long-term strategies. Managing an acquired business or disposing of product technologies entails numerous operational and financial risks,
including difficulties in assimilating new personnel, coordinating new product and process development, conforming the acquired companys standards, processes, procedures and controls with our operations, separating or reorganizing existing
business or product groups, in addition to diversion of managements attention away from other business concerns, amortization of acquired definite-lived intangible assets, immediate expensing of certain acquired R&D project values,
goodwill impairment charges and potential loss of key employees or customers of acquired or disposed operations, among others. Further, acquisitions may require the potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt, the
assumption of contingent liabilities and the obligation to meet future cash flow requirements of acquired companies. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve and manage successfully any such integration of potential acquisitions,
disposition of product lines or technologies, or reduction in personnel or that our management, personnel, or systems will be adequate to support continued operations. Any such inabilities, inadequacies, debt incurrence, common stock issuance or
assumption of liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows.

We may acquire
other companies or purchase or license technology from third parties in order to attain growth or remain competitive and to introduce new products to expanded markets.

An element of our business strategy involves expansion through both organic growth and the acquisitions of businesses, assets, products, technologies and design personnel that allow us to complement our existing
product offerings, expand our market coverage, increase our engineering workforce or enhance our technological capabilities. To the extent that we seek acquisitions, we may not be able to purchase or license resources on

commercially favorable terms or at all. Acquisitions and technology licenses are difficult to identify and complete for a number of reasons, including the
cost of potential transactions, competition among prospective buyers and licensees and the need for regulatory approvals. In order to finance a potential transaction, we may need to raise additional funds by issuing or selling our stock or borrowing
money. We may not be able to find such financings on acceptable terms.

We rely upon certain critical information systems for the operation of our
business.

We maintain and rely upon certain critical information systems for the effective operation of our business. These information
systems include telecommunications, the Internet, our corporate intranet, various computer hardware and software applications, network communications, and e-mail. These information systems may be owned by us or by our outsource providers or even
third parties such as vendors and contractors and may be maintained by us or by such providers or third parties. These information systems are subject to attacks, failures, and access denials from a number of potential sources including viruses,
destructive or inadequate code, power failures, and physical damage to computers, hard drives, communication lines and networking equipment. To the extent that these information systems are under our control, we have implemented security procedures,
such as virus protection software and emergency recovery processes, to address the outlined risks; however, security procedures for information systems cannot be guaranteed to be failsafe and our inability to use or access these information systems
at critical points in time could unfavorably impact the timely and efficient operation of our business.

|Item 2. | Properties
|------- | ----------

In the United States, we lease
approximately 150,000 square feet for our corporate headquarters in Milpitas, California, which also includes sales and design functions. Additional manufacturing, warehouse and office facilities are housed in approximately 584,000 square feet of
owned facilities on approximately 123 acres of land in Palm Bay, Florida.

Additionally, we conduct engineering activity and maintain
regional sales offices aggregating over 200,000 square feet in various locations throughout the world including the United States, Asia and Europe. Except for our Florida facilities, all of our offices are leased under generally short-term leases
(lease periods vary but expire by 2013).

We believe that our current facilities are suitable and adequate for our present purposes, and
that the productive capacity in our facilities is being substantially utilized.



|Item 3. | Legal Proceedings
|------- | -----------------

(a) Legal Proceedings

We and certain of our former directors as well as our lead underwriter of our February 2000 initial public offering, Credit Suisse First
Boston Corporation, were named as defendants in several law suits, the first of which is a class action filed on June 8, 2001 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaints allege violations of Rule
10b-5 based on, among other things, the dissemination of statements containing material misstatements and/or omissions concerning the commissions received by the underwriters of the initial public offering, as well as failure to disclose the
existence of purported agreements by the underwriters with some of the purchasers in these offerings to thereafter buy additional shares of Intersil in the open market at pre-determined prices above the offering prices. These lawsuits against us, as
well as those alleging similar claims against other issuers in initial public offerings, have been consolidated for pre-trial purposes with a number of other related securities suits. In April 2002, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended
complaint against us and certain of our officers and directors. The consolidated amended complaint pleads claims under both the 1933 Securities Act and under the 1934 Securities Exchange Act. In addition to the allegations of wrongdoing described
above, plaintiffs also now allege that analysts employed by underwriters who were acting as investment bankers for the Company improperly touted the value of our shares during the relevant class period as part of the purported scheme to artificially
inflate the value of our shares. In October 2002, the individual employee defendants were dismissed from the class action suit. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, litigation costs and expenses.

A tentative settlement was reached between the plaintiffs and all defendant stock issuers, with ongoing negotiations as to the specific terms of the
settlement agreement. Under that agreement, we would not have been required to pay any damages, expenses or litigation costs to the plaintiffs. However, on December 5, 2006, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the class certification
of six focus cases that are part of the ±300 consolidated class action suits. On July 2, 2007, the District Court formally terminated the motion to approve the proposed settlement because the Second Circuit Court of Appeals
reversed the class certification in six focus cases. The District Court then issued an order on August 30, 2007 declining to apply the decision of the Second Circuit to cases other than the focus cases, including the action against
the Company, and further held that the statute of limitations in such cases continued to be tolled. On August 14, 2007, the Plaintiffs filed an amended master complaint containing allegations purportedly common to all defendants in
all actions and filed amended complaints containing specific allegations against the six issuer defendants in the six focus cases. In addition, on

September 27, 2007, the plaintiffs again moved to certify classes in each of the six focus cases. The Court has approved a stipulation extending the
time within which the plaintiffs must file amended pleadings containing specific allegations against the other issuer defendants, including the Company, and the time within which those defendants must move, answer or otherwise respond to those
specific allegations. It is unknown how this ruling will affect the outcome of the case.

2008, an indicated annual rate of $0.48 per share.

Our dividend policy is impacted by, among other items, our views on potential future
capital requirements relating to research and development, creation and expansion of sales distribution channels, investments and acquisitions, share dilution management, our stock repurchase program, legal risks, liquidity and profitability.
Determination to declare and pay a dividend will be made by our Board of Directors timely in light of these and other factors the Board of Directors deems relevant.

The following transactions affect the comparability of the results between the fiscal periods
above:

a) In August 2003, we sold the assets of our Wireless Networking product group. The revenue, income (loss) from
continuing operations, and basic income (loss) per share from continuing operations figures do not include amounts relating to this product group as we utilized discontinued operations accounting for the disposition.

b) In July 2004, we acquired Xicor by issuing Intersil Class A common stock and using cash to purchase 100% of the outstanding common
stock of the Milpitas, California-based company. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of Xicor have been included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements since the acquisition date

c) During fiscal 2003, 2004 and 2005, we recorded various impairment charges or
credits. Please refer to Note 11 within the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

d) During fiscal
2003, 2004 and 2005, we recorded various restructuring charges. Please refer to Note 10 within the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

|Item  7. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|-------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our consolidated financial statements,
including the notes thereto. This discussion generally refers to elements within our consolidated financial statements on a pre-tax basis unless otherwise stated. Except for historical information, the discussions in this section contain
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed below. For further information regarding risks and uncertainties, see Item 1A. in this Annual Report on Form 10-K
entitled Risk Factors.

Overview

We focus our design, manufacturing and marketing efforts on the High-Performance Analog (HPA) segment of the semiconductor market. Digital and analog semiconductor components are the basic ingredient in todays electronic
devices. In contrast to the binary nature of digital components, analog components monitor, evaluate and modify electrical signals and strengths allowing them to deal with basic and essential properties such as heat, touch, light and sound. The HPA
segment is distinguished by its highly differentiated and technologically advanced products which can be building blocks for more complex circuits or highly integrated for specific applications. Historically, the HPA segment has yielded higher gross
margins and suffers less competition than the digital and broader analog segments of the semiconductor market. The HPA segment requires uniquely talented and experienced designers, engineers and specialized selling and marketing efforts to address
the myriad of challenges associated with todays complex applications.

We began our transformation into an HPA company with the
acquisition of Elantec in 2002 and the divestiture of our wireless networking business in 2003. We further strengthened the transformation with the 2004 acquisition of Xicor. Our transformation has required us to report our financial performance
with restructurings, impairments, discontinued operations and write-offs attendant to our acquisitions. Our first full year as a pure HPA company was fiscal 2004. Since then, our focus has resulted in revenue growth that has been very broad-based
across our many analog products. We have introduced hundreds of new products in each of the last few years including several new product families that have significantly expanded our served available market. Our investments to expand our product
portfolio to over 50 product families appear to be successful, enabling us to reach our primary management goals of revenue growth with higher margins, growing operating income and increasing cash flow generation measured against the investment in
the company.

Revenue and Cost of Revenue

Revenue

Our revenue for 2007 was $757.0 million, an increase of $16.4 million or 2% over 2006. This
increase was made up of net growth in our end markets and our 2007 acquisition. Our various end markets performed as follows: Computing products had 12% in revenue growth, followed by high-end consumer products at an 8% increase. However, our
Industrial products experienced a revenue decline of 4% and our Communication products declined 8%. In aggregate, higher unit demand increased revenues by approximately $102 million, which was partially offset by a decline in average selling prices
(ASPs), which decreased revenues by approximately $86 million. Of this net revenue growth, approximately $43 million came from our sales to customers in the Asia/Pacific region, which was offset by revenue declines of $28 million in
North America with Europe and other countries being approximately even. Higher sales of units resulted from our currently strong product offering in computing and consumer power management devices and consumer electronics. Declining sales
prices has been a phenomenon of the semiconductor industry for much of its existence and is expected to continue into the foreseeable future.

Our revenue for 2006 was $740.6 million, an increase of $140.3 million or 23% over 2005. This increase was driven by growth in all of our four end markets. Communication products saw the highest growth at 27%, followed by computing
products at 26%, high-end consumer products at 22% and industrial products at 19%. In aggregate, higher unit demand increased sales by approximately $161 million, which was partially offset by a decline in ASPs, which decreased sales by
approximately $21 million. Of this sales growth, approximately $106 million came from our sales to customers in the Asia/Pacific region, $26 million from North America and approximately $9 million from Europe.

We anticipate that our revenue from Asia/Pacific region customers will continue to grow in percentage terms as that regions economy leads in the
manufacture of the finished applications (consumer electronics, computers, communications equipment) that our products are used in. End market demand for those applications is global and hence dependent on aggregate global economic metrics and
conditions such as personal incomes and business activity and not necessarily on Asian and Pacific Rim regional economic factors.

See
Business Outlook elsewhere in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations relating to expected revenues in the near term.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenues consists primarily of purchased materials and services, labor
(including stock-based compensation), overhead and depreciation associated with manufacturing pertaining to products sold.

Our gross
margin declined by 40 basis points in 2007 over 2006 compared to an increase of 160 basis points in 2006 over 2005. The 40 basis point decline was largely a function of our sales mix. Generally, our computing products have lower gross margins than
other products. In 2007 much of our revenue increase came from power management products in the computing end market. Additionally, in 2007 stock-based compensation costs

charged to cost of sales via direct overhead charges and through inventory relief increased by approximately 13 basis points over 2006. The 2006 increase in
gross margin was partially due to our product mix in 2006, as revenues for our higher margin, general purpose products grew 28% over 2005 and sales for some of our lower margin products grew 20% over 2005. The 2006 increase in gross
margins was also a function of lower wafer prices, improved yields and better pricing from our assembly and test partners in 2006.

Operating
Expenses

Research and Development (R&D)

R&D expenses consist primarily of salaries and expenses (including stock-based compensation) of employees engaged in product/process research, design and development activities, as well as related subcontracting
activities, prototype development, cost of design tools and technology license agreement expenses.

Our R&D expenses increased by 6% to
$134.4 million in 2007 compared to $126.5 million for 2006 and $118.3 million for 2005. The 2007 increase of approximately $8 million is made up of some $10 million of increased cash compensation and fringe benefits due to higher headcount and pay
levels, offset by a $1.1 million decline in non-cash, stock-based compensation charges and other net reductions in supplies and facility costs. Our R&D expenses increased by 7% in 2006 compared to 2005 due primarily to increased stock-based
compensation costs due to our adoption of SFAS 123R in 2006.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A)

SG&A expenses consist primarily of salaries and expenses (including stock-based compensation) of employees engaged in selling and marketing our
products as well as the salaries and expenses required to perform our Human Resources, Finance, Information Systems, Legal, Executive and other administrative functions.

Our SG&A expenses decreased by 4% to $131.9 million for 2007 compared to $137.1 million for 2006 and $106.5 million for 2005. The approximately $5 million decrease in 2007 compared to 2006 was substantially
accounted for by a reduction in stock-based compensation expense of approximately $3.5 million. The remaining costs making up SG&A decreased by approximately $1.5 million, with advertising and outside services declining and personnel costs
increasing within that net change. As with R&D stock-based compensation costs, the Company is managing SG&A stock-based compensation costs carefully. Our 2007 grants had more than a $20 million lower aggregate fair value to amortize over the
multi-year vesting term than in 2006. The increase in 2006 compared to 2005 was made up of approximately $22 million of additional stock-based compensation costs due to our adoption of SFAS 123R in 2006 and increased selling and marketing expenses
associated with higher sales.

Amortization of Purchased Intangibles; Goodwill

Amortization of purchased intangibles for 2007 was $10.7 million; in 2006 and 2005 the amortization amounts were approximately equal at $9.6 million. The
increase in 2007 compared to 2006 resulted from the additional amortization recorded from two acquisitions made in September 2007 for which amortization was included in the fourth quarter of 2007. Our purchased intangibles, which are definite lived
assets, are amortized over their useful lives ranging from 3 to 11 years.

We review goodwill for impairment indicators quarterly and
perform substantive impairment testing annually. During the fourth quarter of 2007, we determined that the value of our reporting units exceeded the goodwill value stated on our balance sheet and therefore, we did not record any impairment to
goodwill. However, our goodwill value is dependent on many factors including future market demand for our products, our stock market valuation, valuation of our expected cash flow, relative values of our reporting units and many other factors. We
could have goodwill impairment in the future which would negatively impact our earnings.

In-Process Research and Development (IPR&D)

In fiscal 2007, we recorded a charge to earnings for $2.7 million of purchased in-process research and development related to the acquisition of Planet
ATE as described more fully in Note 6 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The amount of the purchase price allocated to IPR&D was the result of the purchase accounting appraisal, for which was management is primarily
responsible. The IPR&D was determined using a cost-based approach to valuation due to limitations in the market value and income-based valuation approaches for this item. The cost-based approach related to approximately two years of historical
Planet ATE research and development expenditures, net of associated tax effects, which relates to the lengthy and risky development life-cycle of the typical acquired system IC product for the automated test equipment market. The Company
expects to continue to invest in these and other development efforts for this new market and believes there is a reasonable chance of successfully completing the work undertaken at the point of the acquisition. However, there is risk associated with
the completion of the projects, and there is no assurance that any will meet either technological or commercial success.

Restructurings

In March 2005, we announced a restructuring plan to further streamline operations and to reduce costs. We recorded $2.8 million in restructuring
expense. Approximately 100 employees were notified that their employment would be terminated. The affected positions included manufacturing, research and development, and selling, general and administrative employees. At December 30, 2005, the
affected positions had all been terminated.

Other Gains & Losses

During 2005 we recovered $2.0 million for insured business interruption losses resulting from the hurricanes in 2004. During 2004, our Florida facilities
were damaged by hurricanes resulting in $2.7 million in reconstruction costs.

A key Company objective is to manage Operating Expenses
carefully SUCH THAT in future periods they increase in both dollars and percent by amounts less than our revenue and thereby continue to utilize operating leverage to increase shareholder value.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest Income

Our interest income increased 4% to $30.9 million in 2007 compared to $29.7 million for 2006 and $19.0 million for 2005. Interest income increased in
2007 due primarily to higher balances and rates available in the first half of the year. In contrast, in the second half of the year, our interest earning balances declined as we conducted our stock repurchase program and funded the acquisition of
Planet ATE. Further, rates began to decline in the second half of the year. In the fourth quarter of 2007, our interest income declined by 18% over the same quarter of 2006. Our 2006 interest income increased 57% to $29.7 million, due primarily to
increased interest rates earned on our investments compared to 2005. With available interest rates currently falling and our interest earning balances expected to be further reduced in 2008 due to our increased dividend and continued stock
repurchases, we expect that our interest income in 2008 will be reduced from our 2007 level.

Income Tax Expense

Our income tax expense from continuing operations was $41.0 million or 22% of pretax income for 2007 compared to tax expense of $28.8 million or 16% of
pretax income for 2006. In 2006 we enjoyed the benefit of approximately $13 million in discrete tax events, notably the benefit from the loss on the sale of our interest in a

##### Table of Contents

cost method investee, absent which the 2006 tax expense and tax rate would have been comparable to the amounts reported for 2007.

Our income tax expense from continuing operations was $28.8 million or 16% of pretax income for 2006 compared to tax expense of $32.3 million or 27% of
pretax income for 2005. The effective tax rate declined in 2006 primarily because of a $150.0 million dividend repatriation in 2005 that did not occur in 2006 (see below). The benefit from the loss on the sale of our interest in a cost method
investee was the other key driver in the 2006 tax rate decline.

Our income tax expense for 2005 included a provision of $6.6 million
relating to our repatriation of $150 million of foreign earnings. See Note 16.5 in our consolidated financial statements for more information about our repatriation.

In the first quarter of 2008, the Company expects to reverse the non-current portion of our income taxes payable to income taxes in our consolidated statement of operations as a benefit due to the expiration of the
statute of limitations for the tax years 2002 and 2003. That benefit to income taxes and earnings is expected to be approximately $40.7 million and will be apportioned between continuing and discontinued operations. Our expected effective tax rate
in the first quarter, absent this event, is 24.6%.

In determining net income, we must make certain estimates and judgments in the
calculation of tax expense and tax liabilities and in the recoverability of deferred tax assets that arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenues and expenses. In the ordinary course of business,
there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws. We follow the recently promulgated Financial
Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48) model to establish reserves for potential future tax liabilities. Although we believe these estimates are reasonable, no assurance
can be given that the final outcome of these matters will not be different than what is reflected in the historical income tax provisions and accruals. Such differences could have a material impact on the income tax provision and operating results
in the period in which such determination is made.

In addition to the risks to the effective tax rate described above, the effective tax
rate reflected in forward-looking statements is based on current enacted tax law. Significant changes in enacted tax law could materially affect these estimates. See Note 16.3 for our statutory to effective tax rate reconciliation for the three
years ended December 28, 2007.

Discontinued Operations and Related Taxes on Discontinued Operations

In fiscal 2005 we settled a foreign tax liability relating to our 2003 Wireless Networking product group sale, which made up the majority of our loss of
$1.1 million ($0.9 million net of tax) from discontinued operations. In fiscal 2006 we reached a settlement relating to remaining patent rights litigation connected with this sale. After the settlement payment, the remaining accrual of $0.9 million
($0.5 million net of tax) was released and is classified and presented as discontinued operations. In fiscal 2007, the Company was presented with an additional tax claim by a foreign jurisdiction. The Company incurred research and defense costs for
the claim of $0.3 million and ultimately settled the claim for $5.5 million net of a $3.5 million tax reserve, resulting in a net tax charge from discontinued operations of $2.0 million. Therefore discontinued operations were a net loss of $2.3
million for 2007.

Backlog

Our product
sales are made pursuant to purchase orders that are generally booked up to six months in advance of delivery. Our standard terms and conditions of sale provide that these orders become non-cancelable thirty days prior to scheduled delivery for
standard products and ninety days prior to scheduled delivery for semi-



36

##### Table of Contents

custom and custom products. Backlog is influenced by several factors, including market demand, pricing and customer order patterns in reaction to product
lead times.

Additionally, we believe backlog can fall disproportionately to consumption rates in periods of weak end-market demand since
production lead times can be shorter. Conversely, we believe backlog can grow faster than consumption in periods of strong end-market demand as production and delivery times increase and some customers may increase orders in excess of their current
consumption to reduce their own risk of production disruptions.

Our year end backlog for 2007 was $176.4 million; for 2006 it was $117.7
million; and 2005 it was $132.8 million. Although not always the case, we believe backlog can be an indicator of performance for approximately the next two quarters. See Business Outlook.

Business Outlook

As we announced via our Fourth
Quarter 2007 Earnings press release (filed with our Current Report on Form 8-K, both on January 23, 2008), we anticipated revenues for the first quarter to be down between 3% to 6% sequentially due primarily to normal seasonality in our
consumer and computing markets. Based on this outlook, we expected earnings per diluted share of approximately $0.29 to $0.30, excluding the effect on our consolidated statement of operations of approximately $41 million from the reversal of a tax
reserve relating to the expiration of the statute of limitations. See footnote 23.3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding the tax reserve reversal.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The
semiconductor industry has, for several decades, experienced a phenomenon of continual decline in sales prices per unit. We experience this phenomenon and it brings unique challenges to managing our business. In order to increase revenues, we must
increase units of product made and shipped at a much higher rate than that of the attendant revenue gain. This leads to capacity and production management issues and requires a large investment in research and development to regularly introduce new
products that enable us to maintain our average unit selling prices. At the same time we are faced with many fixed costs in our business that increase at the same rate of general inflation in the economy and must be managed carefully and
aggressively in order to maintain operating margins. These characteristics of revenue pressure from selling price, the need to invest heavily in research and development and inflation-prone fixed costs means that earning a reasonable return for our
shareholders is challenging.

utilize standby letters of credit primarily to provide security for various contracts or services such as workers compensation ($1.0 million), environmental
items ($1.0 million) and to provide security for certain vendor relationships. These standby letters of credit have annual renewals.

Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements

We do not have any guarantees that would affect our liquidity, cash flow or financial position. We do not have any
relationships with other parties that would have a material negative impact on our liquidity, cash flow or financial position.

Liquidity and Capital
Resources

Our capital requirements depend on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the rate of increase or decrease in
our existing business base; the success, timing and amount of investment required to bring new products to market; revenue growth or decline; and potential acquisitions. We believe that we have the financial resources necessary to meet business
requirements for the next 12 months, including our treasury share repurchase program, our dividend program, the requisite capital expenditures for the expansion or upgrading of worldwide manufacturing capacity, working capital requirements and
potential future acquisitions or strategic investments. At December 28, 2007, our total shareholders equity was $2.2 billion. At that date we also had $484 million in cash and short-term securities (see Notes 3.1 and 23.2), as well as $19
million in long-term investments. We have no debt outstanding and believe we would be able to access debt capital of varying amounts and terms if, as and when a desire or need therefore was identified and approved by our Board of Directors.

Our primary sources and uses of cash during the three fiscal years ended December 28, 2007 are presented in this summarized table:

In each of the three fiscal years ended December 28, 2007, our primary sources of cash have
generated amounts ranging from almost $200 million to over $300 million. Aggregately, over the three years presented

##### Table of Contents

above, our cash generation has been $895 million. We have returned more than that amount to shareholders via our stock repurchase programs and our dividend
payments, which aggregate over the same three year period to $966 million.

Our basic aim is to constantly improve the cash flows from our
existing business activities against a relatively fixed investment and to return the majority of that cash flow to stockholders. We also will continue to seek to maintain and improve our existing business performance with necessary capital
expenditures and, potentially, acquisitions that may further improve our base business with prospects of a proper return. Our acquisitions, if any, might be made for either cash or stock consideration or a combination of both. Volatility in the
business environment we operate in may cause these amounts to vary from year to year.

Our cash, cash equivalents and investments noted
above, when combined with the lack of any outstanding long or short-term debt obligations, give us the flexibility to continue to return much of our free cash flow to our stockholders while also pursuing business improvement opportunities for our
future.

Non-cash Working Capital

Trade accounts receivable, less valuation allowances, increased by $19.4 million, or 20%, to $117.4 million at December 28, 2007 from $98.0 million at December 29, 2006. This increase primarily reflects our increased sales in the
fourth quarter of 2007 compared to the fourth quarter of 2006. This comparative quarter sales increase was 17%. Inventories increased by $5.3 million, or 6%, to $97.7 million at December 28, 2007 from $92.4 million at December 29, 2006.
Our inventory levels continue to increase more slowly than our cost of sales activity reflecting improved inventory turns ratio. We believe our overall working capital investment can be managed to be relatively constant in relation to our volume of
business activity measured by sales revenues and unit volumes for the foreseeable future.

Our standard trade receivable terms range from
net 30 to net 60 days. From time to time, management has made exceptions to these standard terms for various business and competitive reasons and extended the terms up to 90 days.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures were $24 million for fiscal 2007, $31 million for fiscal
2006 and $24 million for fiscal 2005. In 2007 our expenditures again focused on expanding available capacity at our supply chain partners for both our wafer and assembly/test requirements for continuing unit volume growth as we did in 2006. In 2005
our expenditures focused on similar test/packaging equipment and expenditures related to preparing for our 2006 campus consolidation in Florida.

Proceeds from exercises of Stock Options and our Stock Purchase Plan

In 2007 we again enjoyed increased cash flow from
stock plans (exercises of stock options and sales under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP). At more than $115 million for the fiscal year, cash collected from such exercises exceeded $92 million in 2006 and $40 million in 2005.
The level of such cash inflow to us in future periods is subject to certain market forces we dont control. Additionally, we have changed the mix of new share-based equity incentive grants to a larger proportion of restricted and deferred stock
units from stock options. Restricted and deferred stock units do not yield proceeds from an exercise event as do stock options. Therefore we believe option proceeds should generally decline over the next several years.

Stock Repurchases and Dividends

We currently have in
effect an active stock repurchase program and, announced in February 2008, a $0.12 per share dividend for the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Both programs represent our major effort to return a portion of our operating cash flow to our
shareholders and we currently intend to continue both programs for the foreseeable future.

Transactions with Related and Certain Other Parties

Former related partyIntersil had a contract in place with a former related party, which expired in mid-year fiscal 2005, under which they
provided a specified percentage of Intersils test and package services. The terms of the contract were the result of arms-length negotiations and, in the opinion of management, were no less favorable than those that could be obtained from
non-affiliated parties. At the time the contract was entered into, the companies shared a common board member and Intersil once held an equity position in the company. Although the Company continues to procure a portion of its test and package
services from this firm, it utilizes other vendors for these services as well.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In response to the SECs financial reporting release, FR-60, Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies,
we have included our more subjective accounting estimation processes for purposes of explaining the methodology used in calculating the estimates, in addition to the inherent uncertainties pertaining to the estimates, and the possible effects on our
financial condition. The six accounting estimation processes discussed below are:

1) the allowance for collection losses on
trade receivables,

2) distributor, OEM and warranty allowances,

3) allowances for excess or obsolete inventory,

4) the assessment of recoverability of goodwill

5) accounting for income taxes, and

6) fair value of stock-based compensation

These estimates involve certain assumptions that if incorrect
could create changes, including adverse ones, to our statement of operations and financial position. Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We also have other policies that we consider key
accounting policies; however, these policies do not meet the definition of critical accounting policies, because they do not generally require us to make estimates or judgments that are difficult or subjective.

Allowance for collection losses on trade receivables, or Receivables Allowance

Our Receivables Allowance is used to state trade receivables at a net realizable value or the
amount that we estimate will be collected on our gross receivables. Since the amount that we will actually collect on the receivables outstanding cannot be known until the future, we rely primarily on prior experience. Our historical collection
losses have been typically infrequent with write-offs of trade receivables being well below 1% of sales. In order to allow for future collection losses that arise from customer accounts that do not indicate the inability to pay but will have such an
inability, we maintain an allowance based on a 48-month rolling average of write-offs, which at December 28, 2007 equaled 0.1% of our gross trade receivables balance. We also maintain specific allowances for customer accounts that we know may
not be collectible due to various reasons, such as



40

##### Table of Contents

bankruptcy and other customer liquidity issues. We analyze our trade receivable portfolio based on the age of each customers invoice. In this way, we
can identify the accounts that are more likely to have collection problems. We then provide an allowance for a portion or all of the customers balance.

Distributor, OEM and warranty allowances, or Other Allowances

Shown in the immediately foregoing table relating
to receivables allowance as Other allowances, are our allowances for various eventual customer credits. This is a combination of distributor, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and warranty allowances. Distributor
allowances were $2.8 million and $2.2 million at December 28, 2007 and December 29, 2006, respectively. Revenue is recognized from sales to our customers, excluding North American distributors, when a product is shipped. Sales to
international distributors are made under agreements, which provide the distributors certain price protection on a percentage of unsold inventories they hold. Accordingly, distributor allowances are amounts within our trade receivable allowance
section of the balance sheet that estimate the amount of price adjustments that will be encountered in the future on the inventory that is held by international distributors as of the balance sheet date. As the amount of inventory held by
international distributors that will be adjusted in the future cannot be known with certainty as of the date hereof, we rely primarily on historical international distributor transactions to estimate adjustments. The international distributor
allowances comprise two components that are reasonably estimable. The first component of international distributor allowances is the price protection allowance, which protects the distributors gross margins in the event of falling prices
(which are common in semiconductors and other electronic components). This allowance is based on the relationship of historical credits issued to distributors in relation to historical inventory levels and the price paid by the distributor as
applied to current inventory levels. The second component is a stock rotation allowance, which is based on the percentage of sales made to limited international distributors whereby the distributors can periodically receive a credit for unsold
inventory they hold. Specific allowances for our OEM customers, of which various types of returns are the largest component, totaled $3.1 million at December 28, 2007; warranty allowances, returns for which there are product performance claims,
totaled $0.8 million at December 28, 2007.

Allowances for excess or obsolete inventory, or Inventory Allowances

We record our inventories at the lower of cost or market as described in the Notes to the financial statements. As the ultimate market value that we will
recoup through sales on our inventory cannot be known with exact certainty as of the date of this filing, we rely on past sales experience and future sales forecasts to project it. In analyzing our inventory levels, we classify certain inventory as
either excess or obsolete. These classifications are maintained for all classes of inventory, although due to the commonality between our products, raw materials are seldom deemed excess or obsolete. We classify inventory as obsolete if we have
withdrawn it from the marketplace or if we have had no sales of the product for the past 12 months and no sales forecasted for the next 12 months. We provide an allowance for 100% of the standard cost of obsolete inventory. It is our policy to scrap
obsolete inventory. Reviews are conducted of excess inventory on a monthly basis. We classify inventory as excess if we have quantities of product greater than the amounts we have sold in the past 12 months or have forecasted to sell in the next 12
months. We typically retain excess inventory until the inventory is sold or reclassified as obsolete. We provide an allowance for approximately 40% to 45% of the standard cost of the excess inventory. We believe that this allowance represents the
portion we will not be able to recover when we attempt to sell this inventory due to our new product (next generation) introductions and other technological advancements. For all items identified as excess or obsolete during the process described
above, management reviews the individual facts and circumstances (i.e. competitive landscape, industry economic conditions, product lifecycles and product cannibalization) specific to that inventory. Inventory Allowances totaled approximately $21.0
million on gross inventory of $118.7 million at December 28, 2007 and $22.7 million on gross inventory of $115.1 million at December 29, 2006.

Product demand estimates are a key element in determining Inventory Allowances. Our estimate of product demand requires significant judgment and is based in part on historical revenue. Historical sales may not

accurately predict future demand. If future demand is ultimately lower than our estimate, we could incur significant additional expenses to provide
allowances for and scrap obsolete inventory.

Assessment of recoverability of goodwill

Pursuant to our adoption of SFAS 142 in 2001, we completed an initial impairment review of our goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite
lives and found no impairment. According to our accounting policy, we also perform an annual review during the fourth quarter of each subsequent year, and have found no impairment in any period to date. We will perform a similar review in the fourth
quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. Goodwill is tested under a two-step method for impairment at a level of reporting referred to as a reporting unit. At December 28, 2007 we had five reporting
units for purposes of this analysis. The first step of the goodwill impairment test, the purpose of which is to identify potential impairment, compares the calculated fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If
the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, no impairment of the goodwill of the reporting unit is indicated and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair
value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test will be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test, the purpose of which is to measure the amount of impairment loss, compares
the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal
to that excess. The loss recognized cannot exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. After a goodwill impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of goodwill will be its new accounting basis. We have not recognized any impairment
losses on goodwill since adopting SFAS 142.

Accounting for income taxes

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in
which we operate. We are subject to income taxes in both the United States and various foreign jurisdictions, and significant judgment is required to determine worldwide income tax liabilities. This process involves estimating our actual current tax
liability together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. Our effective tax rate as well as the actual taxes ultimately payable could be adversely affected by changes in the
split of earnings between countries with differing statutory tax rates, in the valuation of deferred tax assets, in tax laws or by material audit assessments, which could affect our profitability.

The aforementioned temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheet. We must
then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. We have not provided for a valuation allowance
because we believe it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. At December 28, 2007, our net deferred tax asset amounted to $77.0 million compared to $85.6 million at December 29,
2006. This decrease is primarily due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) arising out of the Xicor acquisition and research credit carryforwards.

Fair value of stock-based compensation

Under SFAS
123R, the fair value of the grant (compensation cost) is calculated by us on the date of grant using a Lattice method. The compensation cost is then amortized straight-line over the shorter of vesting life or requisite service period. Calculating
fair value requires us to estimate certain key assumptions in the valuation model. These are expected stock price volatility, the expected risk-free interest rate in the market, and expected forfeitures of options by employees due to their
termination before vesting is fully earned, and annualized dividend yield. Volatility is one of the most significant determinants of fair value. Our expected volatility is estimated from a blend of estimated price movement activity implied by our
traded options and the actual historic



42



---

##### Table of Contents

volatility of our stock price. We estimate our expected risk-free interest rate by using the zero-coupon U.S. Treasury rate at the time of the grant related
to the expected term of the grant. Expected forfeitures must be estimated to reduce the gross calculation of fair value to an amount expected to be recorded in the financial statements. We estimate forfeitures for the first year of vesting, based on
historical information about turnover for each appropriate employee level. We estimate the annualized dividend yield by dividing the current annualized dividend by the closing stock price on the date of grant. Thereafter, as vesting tiers
within an option are more frequent until fully vested, forfeitures are no longer estimated but instead recorded as they actually occur.

Calculating fair value for our options and deferred stock units that have a performance measurement element to them also requires us to estimate the likely actual performance before the performance is complete. We do this by adjusting the
forfeiture rate to include the expectation of actual performance at the time the calculation is made for purposes of amortizing the compensation appropriately. Such performance-based instruments, depending upon the term of required performance, may
need to be remeasured as frequently as quarterly. See Note 8.7 to our consolidated financial statements for more information with regard to our performance-based grants.

These estimates of key assumptions are based on historical information and judgment regarding future expectations and are re-examined on a regular basis. When such re-examinations of the key assumptions lead to
significant changes to the calculation inputs, it can have a material affect on the amount of stock-based compensation that will be recognized in aggregate or in any period. This may mean more volatility in our reported earnings due to changed facts
and circumstances surrounding the Companys use of stock compensation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Emerging Issues Task Force No. 06-11, Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Shares-Based Payment Awards (EITF
06-11)Issued in June 2007, this EITF clarifies the accounting for a realized income tax benefit (Tax Benefit) from dividends that are charged to retained earnings and paid to employees for nonvested equity share units such as the
Companys Awards. The conclusion is that the Tax Benefits should be recognized as an increase in additional paid-in capital and that any such amount should also be included in the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb tax deficiencies
on share-based payment awards. EITF 06-11 shall be prospectively applied to the Tax Benefits from dividends on Awards that are declared in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2007. The Company plans to adopt EITF 06-11 for its 2008
fiscal year. It is not anticipated that the effect of adoption will be material.

Emerging Issues Task Force No. 07-3,
Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development Activities (EITF 07-3)Issued in April 2007, this EITF clarifies the accounting for the costs of advance payments
for goods or services that are non-refundable and to be used in future research and development activities (Advance Payments). The conclusion is that the Advance Payments should be deferred and capitalized to be subsequently recognized as an expense
as the goods are delivered or the services performed. EITF 07-3 shall be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 and should be adopted as a change in accounting principle through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained
earnings. For the Company, EITF 07-3 shall be adopted effective with its 2008 fiscal year. The Company does not anticipate that the effect of adoption will be material.

FASB Staff Position FIN 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FSP FIN 48-1)Issued in May 2007, this FSP amends FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes to provide guidance on how to determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits since certainty in certain tax matters can become evident in different
ways and through different processes. A series of conditions to determine a state of effective settlement are presented in the FSP. For the Company, since it has not had material changes in its uncertain tax positions (UTPs) since
adoption of FIN 48 for fiscal 2007, the adoption requirement is to apply the provisions of FSP FI



43

##### Table of Contents

N 48-1 from the date of initial adoption of FIN 48. Therefore, this FSP is effectively adopted by the Company currently. The Company did not record any
adjustments to its UTPs from this adoption and does not anticipate that the future effect of this FSP will be material.

FASB
Statement No. 141(R), Business Combinations (SFAS 141R)Issued in December 2007, SFAS No. 141R provides companies with principles and requirements on how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial
statements the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree as well as the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS 141R also requires certain disclosures
to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. Acquisition costs associated with the business combination will generally be expensed as incurred. SFAS 141R is effective for
business combinations occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which will require us to adopt these provisions for business combinations occurring in fiscal 2009 and thereafter. Early adoption of SFAS No. 141R is not
permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 141R will have on any future business combinations we enter into.

Subsequent Events

In January 2008, the Companys Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock. Payment
of the dividend will be made on February 22, 2008 to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 12, 2008.

The
Company has filed two Current Reports on Form 8-K subsequent to its year ended December 28, 2007. The first, dated January 23, 2008, disclosed the operating results for the Companys fourth fiscal quarter and full fiscal year of 2007
and disclosed a Board authorized increase in the dividend payment the Company makes on a quarterly basis from $0.10 per share to $0.12 per share with the payment to be made February 22, 2008. The second, dated February 13, 2008,
disclosed the resignation of Mr. Richard M. Beyer as our CEO and as a director and the appointment by the Board of Directors of Mr. David B. Bell to the positions of President and CEO, effective February 13, 2008.



|Item 7A. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|-------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

We, in the normal course of doing business, are exposed to the risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. We employ established policies and procedures governing the use of financial instruments,
entered into for purposes other than trading purposes, to manage our exposure to these risks.

The Companys cash equivalents and
short-term investments are subject to three market risks: interest rate risk, credit risk and secondary market risk. The Companys investments are primarily held in money market funds and auction rate securities (ARS). Some of these investments
are insured for credit risk. ARSs are subject to the risk that the secondary market might fail to provide the liquidity opportunity at the rate reset points. This risk, which we have recently encountered with regard to our certain of our
ARSs, manifests itself in sponsoring broker-dealers withdrawing from the auction process that provides the rate reset and liquidity. Late in fiscal 2007, we have recorded a $5.3 million temporary impairment in value against approximately $103
million of our ARSs at December 28, 2007. Additionally, the temporary impairment grew to $12 million at the end of our first month of fiscal 2008. See Notes 2.2.1, 3.1 and 23.2 to our consolidated financial statements for additional
quantitative and qualitative details.

As a result of our portfolio shift toward short-term investments in recent quarters, our interest
income should therefore be more volatile and vary with short-term rates more than if we had a larger commitment to long-term investments. Our long-term investments are subject to both interest rate risk and credit risk. Our long-term securities
portfolio at December 28, 2007 was made up primarily of state and municipality issued securities with high credit ratings; therefore, we believe the credit risk is very low. With regard to interest rate risk on our long-term securities
portfolio, we believe a 1-point increase in long-term rates (100 basis points) would result in



44

##### Table of Contents

an immaterial unrealized loss on our approximately $19 million portfolio at that date. Since our long-term investments are classified as held-to-maturity,
such a theoretical unrealized loss would not be recorded unless the investment was sold.

At December 28, 2007, we had open foreign
exchange contracts with a notional amount of approximately $20.8 million, which was to hedge forecasted foreign cash flow commitments up to six months. As our hedges on forecasted foreign cash flow commitments do not qualify for deferral, gains and
losses on changes in the fair market value of the foreign exchange contracts are recognized in income. There was no net gain or loss on foreign exchange contracts for 2007. During 2007, we purchased and sold $38.1 million of foreign exchange forward
contracts. The derivatives were also recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value, which was $0.3 million, at December 28, 2007. The table below summarizes our foreign exchange contract activity over the past two years ($ in millions):

|Fair value of open contracts at year end          |  | $                 | 0.1  |                  | $ | 0.3 

Our hedging activities provide only limited protection against currency exchange risks. Factors
that could impact the effectiveness of our hedging programs include accuracy of sales estimates, volatility of currency markets and the cost and availability of hedging instruments. A 10% adverse change in currency exchange rates for our foreign
currency derivatives held at December 28, 2007 will have a negligible impact on the fair values of these instruments. This qualification of exposure to the market risk associated with foreign exchange financial instruments does not take into
account the offsetting impact of changes in the fair values of foreign denominated assets, liabilities and firm commitments. See also Note 20 in our consolidated financial statements elsewhere herein this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

A substantial majority of our revenues billed outside the U.S. are billed and collected in U.S. dollars. Therefore we do not believe we have material
risk to revenues due to currency rate fluctuations between billing and collection of funds for those amounts billed in other currencies.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS

INTERSIL CORPORATION:

We have audited Intersil Corporations (Intersil) internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 2007, based on criteria
established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Intersils management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial
reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all
material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control
based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors
of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Intersil maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 2007, based on
criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Intersil as of December 28, 2007 and December 29, 2006, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders equity, comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 28, 2007, and our report dated February 22, 2008 expressed an unqualified
opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

INTERSIL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

1.1)
Organization: Markets and Products

Intersil Corporation (Intersil or the Company) is a global designer and
manufacturer of high performance analog integrated circuits. Our portfolio addresses some of the fastest growing applications within four end markets: high-end consumer, industrial, communications and computing.

High-end consumer products: optical storage, display and handheld products. High-end consumer products target high growth applications such as DVD
players and recorders, MP3 players, GPS systems, liquid crystal display (LCD) televisions, cell phones and digital still cameras. High-end consumer products accounted for 29%, 27% and 27% of the Companys sales in fiscal years 2007,
2006 and 2005, respectively.

Industrial products: operational amplifiers, bridge driver power management products, switches and
multiplexers, and other standard analog and power management products. Industrial products target end markets including medical imaging, energy management, automotive, solar generating devices, military and factory automation. Industrial products
represented 23%, 25% and 26% of the Companys sales in fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Communications products: line
drivers, broadband and hot plug power management products and high-speed converters targeted to applications in markets such as DSL (digital subscriber line), home gateway, satellite and VOIP (voice-over-internet protocol). Communications products
accounted for 21%, 24% and 23% of the Companys sales in fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Computing products: desktop,
server and notebook power management, including core power devices and power management applications for peripheral devices. Computing products accounted for 27%, 24% and 24% of the Companys sales in fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005,
respectively.

1.2) Basis of Presentation

The Company utilizes a 52/53 week fiscal year. All fiscal years presented herein contain 52 weeks. References to past or future quarterly or annual periods in these financial statements are to those respective fiscal periods which vary from
exact calendar quarters or years. Our next 53 week fiscal year will be 2008, which will end on January 2, 2009.

The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Accounts denominated in non-U.S. currencies have been remeasured using the U.S. dollar as the
functional currency.

1.3) Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year classifications.

NOTE 2SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1) Cash EquivalentsCash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of cash flow consist of liquid debt
securities with insignificant interest rate risk and with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Investments with maturities over three months at the time of purchase are classified as short-term investments.



55

##### Table of Contents

2.2) Short and Long-term InvestmentsThe Company continually monitors its positions with, and
the credit quality of, the governmental and financial institutions that are the issuers (Issuers) of its investments, and does not anticipate nonperformance by the Issuers. The Company enters into transactions only with Issuers that have a long-term
debt rating of no less than AA by Standard & Poors or AA by Moodys. For short-term debt (a maturity date less that 365 days), the Issuer must have no less than an A1 Standard & Poors and a P1 Moodys credit
rating. In addition, the Company limits the amount of investment credit exposure with any one Issuer.

2.2.1) Available
for Sale (AFS) InvestmentsInvestments designated as AFS include marketable debt securities. Investments that are designated as AFS are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, recorded in
stockholders equity. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Realized gains and losses on the sale of debt securities are recorded in interest income, net. See Note 3.

The Companys AFS debt investments consisted exclusively of auction rates securities at both December 29, 2006 and
December 28, 2007. These investments are reflected in the Short-term Investments line item in the current section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

2.2.2) Held-to-Maturity (HTM) InvestmentsInvestments designated as HTM include marketable debt with maturities of
greater than three months. Examples of such debt securities include commercial paper, corporate bonds, corporate notes and federal, state, county and municipal government bonds. In accordance with SFAS 115, Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities, these securities are classified as HTM securities as the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity. Securities in the HTM classification are carried at amortized cost. Accordingly,
unrealized gains and losses are not reported in the financial statements until realized or until a decline is deemed to be other-than-temporary. Management deems its unrealized losses to be temporary as there are short periods until the related
investments mature, the issuers are deemed highly creditworthy and the Company has ability and intent to hold the investments until maturity at which time the investment will be redeemed at amortized cost. HTM investments with maturities one year or
less are contained in the balance sheet line item Short-term investments and those beyond one year are contained in the balance sheet line item Long-term investments. See Note 3.

2.2.3) Trading InvestmentsTrading investments are stated at fair value, with gains or losses resulting from changes in fair
value recognized currently in earnings. The Company elects to classify as trading assets a portion of its marketable equity securities, which are contained in the Other line item in the non-current section of the Consolidated
Balance Sheets. These investments consist exclusively of a marketable equity portfolio held to generate returns that seek to offset changes in liabilities related to certain deferred compensation arrangements. Gains or losses from changes in the
fair value of these equity securities are recorded as compensation expense which is offset by losses or gains on the related liabilities recorded as non-operating earnings. There is no net impact on earnings. See Note 3.

2.2.4) Cost Method InvestmentsAll investments that are not accounted for as HTM, AFS or trading are accounted for
under the cost method. Under the cost method, investments are held at historical cost, less impairments, as there are no readily determinable market values. Furthermore, the Company holds less than 20% ownership of the cost method investments,
cannot exercise significant influence over the investee and is not the primary beneficiary. These investments are reviewed at least quarterly for impairment indicators such as insolvency or competitive problems. Impairments are determined using
several analytical techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis and managements qualitative evaluations. Cost method investments are contained in the Other line item in the non-current section of the Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheets. See Note 3.4.

2.2.5) Financial DerivativesThe Companys primary objective for holding
derivative financial instruments is to manage currency risks. Because of this economic objective, the Companys derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and are included in other current assets. The Companys accounting policies
for these instruments are based on whether they meet the Companys criteria for designation as



56



---

##### Table of Contents

hedging transactions, either as cash flow or fair value hedges. A hedge of the exposure to variability in the cash flows of an asset or a liability, or of a
forecasted transaction, is referred to as a cash flow hedge. A hedge of the exposure to changes in fair value of an asset or a liability, or of an unrecognized firm commitment, is referred to as a fair value hedge. The criteria for designating a
derivative as a hedge include the instruments effectiveness in risk reduction and, in most cases, a one-to-one matching of the derivative instrument to its underlying transaction. Gains and losses on derivatives that are not designated as
hedges for accounting purposes are recognized currently in earnings, and generally offset changes in the values of related assets, liabilities or debt. Intersil uses foreign exchange contracts to hedge forecasted foreign cash flow commitments up to
six months. Hedges on forecasted foreign cash flow commitments do not qualify for deferral, as the hedges are not related to a specific, identifiable transaction. Therefore, gains and losses on changes in the fair market value of the foreign
exchange contracts are recognized in cost of revenue. Premiums paid for option contracts that are not exercised are written off at the time of expiration. See Note 20.

2.3) Trade ReceivablesTrade receivables are recorded at net realizable value or the amount that we expect to collect on our gross customer trade receivables. At December 28, 2007, the Company
maintained an allowance of approximately 0.1% of gross trade receivables (also approximately 0.1% at December 29, 2006) in addition to specific allowances for receivables with known collection problems due to circumstances such as bankruptcy or
customer disputes. Collection problems are identified using an aging of receivables analysis based on invoice due dates and other information. Estimated losses from collection problems are provided for currently. Items that are deemed uncollectible
are written off against the allowance for collection losses, the provision for which is made through sales. Credit limits, ongoing evaluation and trade receivable monitoring procedures are utilized to reduce the risk of credit loss. Credit is
extended based on an evaluation of the customers financial condition and collateral is generally not required.

2.4)
InventoriesInventories are carried at the lower of standard cost, which approximates actual cost, determined by the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) method, or market. All inventory adjustments establish a new cost basis and are
considered permanent even in instances where the costs are recoverable. Standard cost is used to relieve inventory and charge cost of revenues upon the related sale. Cost elements include purchased and manufactured materials, direct and indirect
labor, plant overheads, contracted services such as test, assembly and packaging and shipping costs. Also included in inventory are immaterial amounts of allocated administrative costs. See Note 4.

2.5) Property, Plant and EquipmentBuildings, machinery and equipment are carried on the basis of cost, less impairment charges, if any. The
Company expenses all repairs and maintenance costs that do not extend an assets useful life or increase an assets capacity. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method using the estimated useful life of the asset. The Company
leases certain facilities under operating leases and records the total effective rental expense in the appropriate period on the straight-line method. See Note 5.

2.6) Revenue RecognitionRevenue is recognized from sales to all customers (except North American distributors and certain immaterial royalty arrangements) when a product is shipped, provided that
persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, title has transferred, collection of resulting receivables is reasonably assured, there are no customer acceptance requirements and there are no remaining
significant obligations. When taking orders for products from our customers, they typically provide us with a customer request date (CRD) which indicates their preferred date for receipt of the ordered products. Based on estimated
transit time and other logistics, we may deliver products to the carrier in advance of the CRD, and recognize revenue from the sale of such products at the time of shipment. It is the Companys intent that such deliveries be made not more than
ten days in advance of CRD. Shipments to domestic distributors are made under agreements which provide for certain pricing credits and limited product return privileges.

Given the uncertainties associated with the levels of returns and credits that may be issued to North American (domestic) distributors, the Company defers recognition of such sales until the domestic
distributors sell the merchandise. The Company relieves inventory and records a receivable on the initial sale to the

distributor as title has passed to the distributor and payment is collected on the receivable within normal trade terms. The gross profit to be derived from
distributor sales, in accordance with this policy, is shown under current liabilities on the balance sheet as Deferred net revenue until such time as the distributor confirms a final sale to its end customer. The following table
summarizes the deferred net revenue balance:

|                                                                      |  |                                  |      |                                  |   |     

The Companys sales to international distributors are made under agreements which permit
limited stock return privileges and pricing credits. Revenue on these sales is recognized upon shipment, at which time title passes. The Company estimates international distributor returns and pricing credits based on historical data and current
business expectations and provides an allowance based on these estimated returns. The international distributor allowances are made up of two components that are reasonably estimable:

International price protection allowanceprotects the distributors gross margins in the event of falling prices. This
allowance is based on the relationship of historical credits issued to distributors in relation to historical inventory levels and price paid by the distributor as applied to current inventory levels.

International stock rotation allowanceprotects distributors for certain unsold inventories of our products which they hold.
This allowance is based on the percentage of sales made to certain international distributors.

Revenues are also reduced based on an
analysis of historical returns related to accommodation and warranty related returns. Such amounts are classified in Allowances to trade receivables on the face of the accompanying balance sheets. Accommodation returns are those the
Company is not contractually obligated to accept for credit. The Company believes it can make reasonable and reliable estimates of future returns and price protections, other than those aforementioned for the domestic distributors, because these
sales reductions are relatively small and predictable.

For fiscal year 2007, gross revenues were approximately $797 million and various
returns, allowances and deferrals as noted above were approximately $40 million. For fiscal year 2006, gross revenues were approximately $769 million and various returns, allowances and deferrals as noted above were approximately $29 million. For
fiscal year 2005, gross revenues were approximately $622 million and various returns, allowances and deferrals as noted above were approximately $22 million.

2.7) Research and DevelopmentResearch and development costs, consisting of the cost of designing, developing and testing new or significantly enhanced products are expensed as incurred.

2.8) Loss ContingenciesIntersil estimates and accrues loss contingencies at the point that the losses become probable. For litigation, the
Companys practice is to include an estimate of legal costs to defend.

2.9) Retirement BenefitsRetirement benefits are
provided to substantially all employees primarily through a defined contribution plan to which both the Company and its employees contribute (a 401(k) Plan under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k)). Contributions by Intersil are based on a
dollar-for-dollar match of employees contributions up to a certain predetermined percentage. Employees fully vest in the Companys matching contributions upon the completion of five years of service.

Retirement benefits also include an unfunded limited healthcare plan for U.S.-based retirees and employees on long-term disability (retiree benefit
plan). During 2003, the Company approved a change to the retiree benefit plan whereby benefits will be terminated by 2008. Intersil accrues the estimated cost of these medical



58

##### Table of Contents

benefits during an employees active service life. Expenses related to this plan were $1.2 million, $0.0 million and $0.0 million during 2005, 2006 and
2007, respectively. The accrued liability related to the unfunded limited healthcare plan was $0.2 million and $0.0 million at December 29, 2006 and December 28, 2007, respectively.

Retirement benefits are provided under statutorily required plans for employees in certain countries outside the U.S. Accrued liabilities relating to
these unfunded plans were $3.0 million and $3.5 million at December 29, 2006 and December 28, 2007 respectively.

Retirement
plans expense from continuing operations was $5.2 million, $4.6 million and $4.9 million for 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively, which is primarily the Companys matching contributions to its employees 401(k) accounts.

2.10) Income TaxesIntersil follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in SFAS 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes, and its subsequent modifications and interpretations, which include FIN 48, which was adopted in fiscal 2007. Current income taxes payable and deferred income taxes resulting from temporary differences between the financial statements
and the tax basis of assets and liabilities are separately classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 16 for disclosures and information regarding our income tax accounting and recorded balances.

2.11) Asset ImpairmentIntersil accounts for long-lived asset impairments under SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144). SFAS 144 requires a three-step approach for recognizing and measuring the impairment of assets to be held and used. The Company recognizes impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when
indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amounts. The impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying
amount. Fair value is estimated based on discounted future cash flows or market value, if available. Assets to be sold are stated at the lower of the assets carrying amount or fair value and depreciation is no longer recognized.

2.12) IntangiblesIn 2007 the Company conducted its annual impairment review and determined that no impairment of its intangibles is required
in the year ended December 28, 2007.

Goodwill is tested under the two-step approach for impairment at a level of reporting referred
to as a reporting unit at the end of 2007. The Company has one operating segment (reportable segment) with five reporting units for 2007.



| |  |  | Step one is identification of potential impairment. This involves comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If
the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired, thus the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value,
the second step of the impairment test shall be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Step two is measurement of the amount of impairment loss. This involves comparison of the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount
of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The loss recognized cannot exceed the carrying amount
of the goodwill. After a goodwill impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of goodwill shall be its new accounting basis.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pursuant to SFAS 142, performs an annual impairment review during the fourth quarter of each year (or more frequently if the Company believes indicators of impairment exist). For more information about Intangibles,
see Note 7.

2.13)Other Comprehensive IncomeThe Company follows the provisions of
Statement of Accounting Standards No. 130 Reporting Comprehensive Income (SFAS 130). Comprehensive income is the change in shareholders equity that is not the result of investments by or distributions to shareholders. The
Companys comprehensive income elements are as follows.

2.13.1) Currency translation
adjustmentsThe Companys international subsidiaries predominately use the appropriate local currency in their businesses. Assets and liabilities are translated at current rates of exchange, and income and expense items are
translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of shareholders equity, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (AOCI). Cumulative translation
adjustments in AOCI were $0.2 million, $1.3 million and $1.8 million at December 30, 2005, December 29, 2006 and December 28, 2007, respectively, representing net gains of $1.1 million in the year ended December 29, 2006 and net gains of $0.5
million in the year ended December 28, 2007.

2.13.2)Unrealized losses on AFS investmentsUnrealized
losses from investment securities classified as AFS that are deemed to be temporary in nature are recognized by a charge to AOCI in accordance with SFAS 115. As more fully described in Notes 3.1 and 23.2, such a charge was recorded in 2007 relating
to an unrealized loss on AFS securities known as auction rate securities. The charge to AOCI was $5.3 million before a related tax benefit of $(1.4) million classified as a current deferred tax asset.

2.14) Earnings Per ShareEarnings per share is computed and presented in accordance with SFAS 128, Earnings per Share and the
Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98. See Note 9.

2.15) Segment InformationThe
Company operates and accounts for its results in one reportable segment. The Company designs, develops, manufacturers and markets high performance integrated circuits. The Chief Operating Officer has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision
Maker as defined by SFAS 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. Further, we utilize one reportable segment in accordance with the aggregation provision of SFAS 131.

2.16) Use of EstimatesThe financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States and require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.17)
RestructuringEffective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit
or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a
Restructuring). SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when a liability is incurred rather than when an exit or disposal plan is approved. Also, in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS 112, the Company records restructuring charges when severance obligation is probable and reasonably estimable and is a vested right attributable to the employees service already rendered. See Note 10.

2.18) Advertising ExpenseAdvertising costs are expensed in the period incurred. Advertising expense from continuing operations was $5.3
million, $7.0 million and $5.9 million for 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively. There are no prepaid advertising costs in any period presented.

2.19) Stock-based CompensationSee Note 8.

The difference between the amortized cost and the fair values was an unrecognized loss of $0.5
million at December 29, 2006. Substantially all of the securities therein with an unrecognized loss had been in a loss position for more than one year at December 29, 2006 due to such securities having been held for more than one year and
having been previously classified as long-term and HTM in prior years. The unrecognized loss at December 28, 2007 was $5.3 million before any calculated tax benefit on the temporary impairment of certain auction rate securities discussed more
fully below.

The Companys auction rate securities are classified as available for sale and are recorded at fair value. As of
December 28, 2007, the Company held certain auction rate securities totaling $103.6 million of par value with an estimated fair value of $98.3 million. The Company recorded an unrealized loss on these securities of $5.3 million in other
comprehensive income plus a related deferred tax benefit of $(1.4) million, for a presented net unrealized loss of $3.9 million. This unrealized loss reflected the decline in the estimated fair value of these securities in accordance with SFAS 115.
The Company has concluded that no other-than-temporary impairment losses occurred in the year ended December 28, 2007 due to the following:



| |  |  | the decline in market value is due to general market conditions;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | these investments are of high credit quality of which a significant portion of the investments are insured;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | there have been no defaults by the issuers;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | their AA and AAA credit ratings have not been reduced at December 28, 2007; and,
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the Company has the intent and ability to hold these investments until the anticipated recovery in market value occurs.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company will continue to monitor its auction rate securities and may be required to record an impairment charge through the income statement if the
decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary. The fair value of these securities has been estimated based on prices provided by the broker-dealer along with estimates made by management based on its expectation of the assumptions
market participants would use in pricing the asset in a current transaction, which could change significantly based on market conditions. See also Note 23.2.

The estimated useful lives of buildings, which include leasehold improvements, range between 10
and 30 years. The estimated useful lives of machinery and equipment range between 3 and 8 years. Depreciation and amortization expense was $24.9 million, $22.4 million and $20.5 million for fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

In 2006, the Company vacated space it occupied in certain buildings on its Florida operations site with a plan to dispose of the buildings and certain
land at that site. Accordingly, in mid-2006, the Company reclassified the net book value of the assets to Held for Sale status in its financial statements, in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144). The provisions of SFAS 144 require the Company to cease further depreciation of the subject plant and equipment at the time of such reclassification.

During the quarter ended March 30, 2007, the Company sold most of the land and all of the buildings thereon that had been reclassified to Held
for Sale status. The Companys net proceeds from the sale was $4.0 million and the Company recorded a gain of $0.2 million from the sale after recognition of an $0.8 million accrual for costs that will be incurred by the Company
subsequent to the sale to effect a severance and reintegration of certain utility services between the parcel sold and the Companys remaining property on the site. The gain on the sale is classified in the line item Selling, general and
administrative in the consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 28, 2007.

The Companys remaining
balance in Held for Sale status, non-depreciable land with a carrying value of $0.2 million, was reclassified into Property, Plant and Equipment in the first quarter of 2007 because the Company no longer intends to dispose of that parcel.

NOTE 6ACQUISITIONS

During the
quarter ended September 28, 2007, the Company made two acquisitions for cash accounted for under the purchase method. On September 11, 2007, all of the outstanding capital stock of Planet ATE, Inc. (Planet ATE) was acquired for
$45.9 million in cash (net of cash and cash equivalents acquired). See below for information about additional consideration to the stockholders of Planet ATE. Planet ATE is a U.S.-based, fabless semiconductor supplier to the automated semiconductor
test equipment market which expands the Companys product offering and served available markets. On September 7, 2007, the Company purchased an analog chip design center in Hyderabad, India (Hyderabad Design) from a U.S.-based
company for $2.1 million in cash. Hyderabad Design complements the Companys existing design operations in India and expands its engineering resources and skills to expand product development and accelerate growth opportunities. The results of
operations of both acquirees, which are immaterial, are included in the Companys consolidated statements of operations from the respective dates of the acquisitions.

The purchase prices of both acquisitions were the result of negotiations based upon parameters relating to revenues, growth and profitability in the case
of Planet ATE, and the costs and time required to open and staff a

new design operation in India. Both acquisitions resulted in recording both definite-lived, amortizable intangible assets and indefinite-lived intangible
assets (including goodwill). The current allocation of the aggregate purchase price is summarized as follows:

The definite-lived developed technology in the table above will be amortized over a five-year
life. Other definite-lived intangible assets in the table above include backlog, customer relationships, intellectual property and an employment agreement with the former CEO of Planet ATE. These assets have amortization lives ranging from three
months to five years with a weighted average of 4.2 years.

The appraisal of the acquired Planet ATE business identified $2.7 million of
purchased in-process research and development (IPR&D) that has no alternative future use. Management is responsible for the valuations in the appraisal. The valuation of purchased IPR&D related to the lengthy and risky development life-cycle
of the typical acquired system IC product for the automated test equipment market. There is substantial risk associated with the completion of the IPR&D projects, and there is no assurance that any will meet either technological or
commercial success. Therefore the IPR&D was written off at the time of acquisition and is shown as a separate line item in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Pro-forma financial information of the combined entities is not presented due to immateriality of the financial results of the acquired entities. The
results of operations of the acquirees are included in the Companys results of operations from the date of the respective acquisitions.

The Planet ATE purchase agreement contains a provision for additional consideration to the former stockholders of that business. This additional consideration is a performance-based measurement that is a multiple of the net revenues of or
attributed to Planet ATE during the period from October 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008 with a maximum additional payment of $12 million. Additionally, $4.6 million was deemed a holdback from the consideration at the initial closing
representing an amount that may be used to cover costs that arise in connection with the representations and warranties made by Planet ATE in the stock purchase agreement. This holdback, or some portion thereof, may be payable at the first
anniversary date of the acquisition based on such costs, if any. No amount for additional consideration was recorded at the time of the acquisition or subsequently through December 28, 2007. The amount of the additional consideration, when
reasonably determinable, will be recorded as an increase in goodwill.

NOTE 7INTANGIBLE ASSETS

7.1) Purchased intangiblesPurchased intangibles are definite-lived intangible assets which are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Substantially all of the Companys
purchased intangibles consist of multiple elements of developed technology which has estimated useful lives of 3 to 11 years. Other purchased intangibles consist of other identifiable assets, primarily customer relationships with an estimated useful
life of five years. Amortization expense on intangible assets from continuing operations was $9.6 million, $9.5 million and $10.7 million for 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Expected amortization expense by year to the end of the current
amortization schedule is the following: 2008$11.3 million, 2009$9.0 million, 2010$5.3 million, 2011$2.3 million and 2012$1.2 million.

7.2) Goodwillis an indefinite-lived intangible asset that is not amortized, but instead is tested for impairment annually. The following
table summarizes changes in Intersils net goodwill balances ($ in thousands):

The decrease to the Elantec and Xicor-related goodwill in both years resulted from the tax benefit
received due to the exercise of vested stock options issued as part of the respective acquisitions. See Note 6 relating to the acquisitions of Planet ATE and Hyderabad Design.

NOTE 8STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

8.1) OverviewEffective December 31, 2005
(fiscal 2006), the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R establishes generally accepted accounting principles for
stock-based awards issued for employee services. Under SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the entire award, and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the
employees requisite service period of the entire reward. The Company previously applied Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations and provided
the required pro forma disclosures of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123). Under SFAS 123R, the Company elected to adopt the modified prospective application method as its transition method.
Under this transition method, the portion of compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to adoption for vesting service provided since adoption was recorded in fiscal 2006. In accordance with this method of adoption, the
Companys results of operations and financial position for prior periods have not been restated. Consistent with the requirements of SFAS 123R, the Companys contra-equity account entitled Unearned Compensation was closed
to the Additional Paid-In Capital account (see the consolidated statements of stockholders equity).

8.2) Share-based Payment
ArrangementsAt December 28, 2007, the Companys 1999 Equity Compensation Plan (1999 Plan) included several available forms of stock compensation of which only stock options (Options) and stock awards (Awards) have been granted to
date. Awards issued by the Company consist of deferred stock units and restricted stock units, which may differ in regard to the timing of the related prospective taxable event to the recipient. Additionally, the Company has issued its Options in
exchange for

outstanding stock options under various plans of acquired companies (Acquired Plans). Additionally, the Company has its 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(ESPP) whereby eligible employees can purchase shares of Intersils common stock. These three plans are summarized below:

The ESPP permits employees to purchase common stock through payroll deductions, which may not
exceed 10% of an employees compensation, at a price not less than 85% of the market value of the stock on specified dates. Those dates are the last trading day in March and September, with settlement of the purchase transaction early in the
following respective month. In no event may any participant purchase more than $25,000 worth of shares in any calendar year and an employee may purchase no more than 16,667 shares on any purchase date.

8.3) Grant Date Fair Values and Underlying Assumptions; Contractual TermsThe Company estimates the fair value of each Option as of the date
of grant using a lattice model. The Company believes that a lattice model is a more accurate model than alternatives for valuing employee Options as it uses historical exercise patterns to predict the expected life of Options and uses input
assumptions to better predict future volatility of the underlying stock price. The fair value of Awards at the date of grant is the fair market value of the Companys common stock at that date. The ESPP fair value is the amount of the discount
the employee obtains at the date of the purchase transaction.

Under SFAS 123R, the fair value of an Option grant (compensation cost) is
calculated by us on the date of grant using a lattice model. This compensation cost is then amortized straight-line over the period relating to service conditions (vesting period). Calculating fair value requires us to estimate key assumptions,
especially volatility, which determine the fair value of the stock option. See the table below for a presentation of the values for certain of these key assumptions. Volatility is one of the most significant determinants of fair value in both
models. Our expected volatility is estimated from a blend of estimated price movement activity implied by our traded options and the actual historic volatility of our stock price. Our risk-free interest rate is estimated by using the zero-coupon
U.S. Treasury rate at the time of the grant related to the expected term of the grant. We estimate the annualized dividend yield by dividing the current annualized dividend by the closing stock price on the date of grant. The estimate of these
key assumptions is based on historical information and judgment regarding future expectations and are re-examined on a regular basis. When such re-examinations of the key assumptions lead to significant changes to the calculation inputs, it can have
a material affect on the amount of stock-based compensation that will be recognized in aggregate or in any period. This may mean more volatility in reported operating results due to changed facts and circumstances surrounding the Companys use
of stock compensation.

For Options granted in fiscal 2006 and 2007, the Company estimated the fair value of each Option as of

Most Options granted under the Companys 1999 Plan since April 2004 vest ratably over four
years and generally have seven year contract lives (generally 10 year contract lives prior to April 2004). For Awards, the expected life for amortization of the grant date fair value is the vesting term, generally three years in the case of deferred
stock units and four years in the case of restricted stock units. The initial assumed forfeiture rate used in calculating the fair value of Options issued by the Company to date with both performance and service conditions is 50%, which is
substantially higher than the historical forfeiture rate used for valuing Options with only service conditions. See Note 8.7 for further information with regard to grants with both performance and service conditions.

|(1) | Awards exercised are those that have reached full vested status and been delivered to the recipients as a taxable event due to elective deferral available in the case of deferred
stock units. Deferred stock units for which the deferral is elected timely are vested but still outstanding as Awards. Total un-issued shares related to deferred stock units at December 28, 2007 were 98,000 shares as shown in the Awards column
as Exercisable/vested.

The Companys ESPP has purchase settlement dates in the second and fourth quarters. The
Companys ESPP is not administered with a lookback option provision and, as a result, there is not a population of outstanding option grants during the employee contribution period. In fiscal 2007, there were approximately 202,500 shares issued
related to the ESPP.

In fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005, the aggregate intrinsic value of Option shares exercised was approximately $65.7
million, $68.2 million and $34.9 million, respectively, measured at the date of exercise of each instrument. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of Options.

The cash received by the Company from the exercise of Options and sale of ESPP shares, excluding related tax benefits, was $116.0 million, $92.6 million
and $40.5 million, in fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively; the related tax benefit realized by the Company from the tax deduction thereon was $17.2 million, $23.3 and $12.2 million, respectively in fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005,
respectively.

unexercisable/unvested Options and Awards at December 28, 2007 and changes during the fiscal year then ended:

##### Table of Contents

For fiscal 2006, the weighted average grant date fair values of Options and Awards was $8.68 and $26.03
per share, respectively; for all awards, the weighted average fair value was $10.08 per share. For fiscal 2005, the weighted average grant date fair values of Options and Awards was $7.15 and $17.19 per share, respectively; for all awards, the
weighted average fair value was $7.36 per share. As described in the foregoing regarding the adoption of SFAS 123R in 2006, the appropriate portion of the fair values for Options was not recorded in the statement of operations for fiscal year 2005.
The appropriate portion of the fair values of Awards was recorded in each of the prior year periods presented.

8.5) Acceleration of
VestingOn October 11, 2005, when the Companys stock price closed at $20.19, the Company accelerated all Options with exercise prices of $22 per share and higher (that is, all were out-of-the-money) that were held by active
employees and granted more than one year prior to the acceleration. This resulted in a pro-forma $17.5 million of expense, net of tax. The Company accelerated the vesting in order to enable the Company to forego recognizing the related compensation
expense in its statements of operations upon the effective and adoption date of SFAS 123R. As a result of this action, Options to purchase approximately 1.8 million shares became exercisable immediately. Of this $17.5 million, which represents
three years of charges with regard to the affected shares, approximately $10.0 million, $7.2 million and $0.3 million would have been recorded by the Company in fiscal years 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively, absent the acceleration.

8.6) Financial Statement Effects and PresentationThe following table shows total stock-based compensation expense for the periods indicated
that are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations:

At December 28, 2007, the Companys net inventory balance included approximately $1.2
million of capitalized stock compensation. Of the $44.3 million of pre-tax compensation expense in fiscal 2007, $31.8 million is from Options, $11.6 million is from Awards and $0.9 million is from the ESPP.

##### Table of Contents

In the Companys Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, SFAS 123R requires the cash flows resulting
from the tax benefits from tax deductions in excess of the deferred tax asset recorded for stock compensation costs to be classified as financing cash flows (excess tax benefits). Previously, the Company presented all tax benefits resulting from the
exercise of stock options as operating cash flows. The $7.8 million and $9.8 million of excess tax benefits classified as a financing cash inflows for fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively, takes this presentation treatment into account.

8.7) Performance-based GrantsIn 2006, the Company made its initial performance-based grants of share-based compensation. The
grants made have the usual service conditions but also have performance conditions relating generally to the Companys Revenue and Operating Income measured against internal goals or peer groups.

Awards:Performance-based grants in the form of deferred stock units were first made to certain officers and key managerial staff in
2006. These Awards (353,000 shares granted in fiscal 2006, of which 261,000 were outstanding at December 28, 2007, and 194,200 shares granted in fiscal 2007, of which 190,200 were outstanding at December 28, 2007) are subject to
performance conditions relating to the Companys performance relative to a peer group of companies with regard to revenue and operating income growth over a three-year period following the grant. When they vest in three years from actual grant
they may range from an aggregate of zero to 807,300 shares available to the grantees for those grants outstanding at year-end; at December 28, 2007 the shares expected to vest, including current performance measurement estimates, was
approximately 582,000. As a result of the performance condition requirement, these grants will be evaluated periodically for the estimated number of shares that might be issued thereunder when fully vested. The fair value measurement and its effect
on income will be appropriately adjusted as a result of these periodic evaluations. The total fair value measurement with regard to the performance-based grants which are outstanding at year-end, which is to be recognized as compensation cost over
the performance period, was $7.5 million. If our estimate of the number of shares expected to be earned (vested) changes, we will be required to adjust the amount of stock-based compensation recognized for the service provided to the date of the
change in estimate, on a cumulative basis, to reflect the higher or lower number of shares expected to vest. Such adjustments could materially increase or decrease the amounts of stock-based compensation recognized in any period, particularly the
period of the change in the estimate, and in aggregate as compared to the initial fair value measurement. Therefore, the use of performance-based forms of stock-based compensation can cause more volatility in our net income in various periods and in
aggregate.

Options:Performance-based grants in the form of Options were made to a broad-based group of employees during the
quarter ended March 31, 2006 and were subject to performance conditions relating to the Companys internal revenue goal for 2006. These Options were structured such that the maximum number available to be earned and vest is 600,000 shares.
The fair value of these grants was calculated based on 600,000 shares with the parameters stated in Note 8.3 above but with a 50% assumed forfeiture rate, meaning that the initial estimate of shares to be earned and vest was 300,000. As a result of
the performance condition, these grants were evaluated each quarter for the likely number of shares that might be issued thereunder when fully vested. During each of the second and third quarters of 2006, this quarterly evaluation resulted in an
adjustment to the assumed forfeiture rate on the grant and the appropriate adjustments were made during those quarters. A final adjustment was made relating to the final measurement of the Options remaining at December 29, 2006, 528,500, and
the actual forfeiture rate was 75%. This final measure of forfeiture resulted in 132,125 shares actually vesting and the remainder were cancelled. The initial fair value measure with regard to these performance-based grants to be recognized as
compensation cost over the performance period was $1.6 million; the final fair value measure that recognized in the vesting period, which spans fiscal years 2006 and 2007, was $0.7 million. There were no performance-based Option grants made in
fiscal 2007.

The weighted average diluted common shares outstanding for fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005 excludes
the dilutive effect of approximately 5.8 million, 8.6 million and 10.9 million options, respectively, since such options have an exercise price in excess of the average market value of the Companys common stock during the fiscal
year.

NOTE 10RESTRUCTURING

In
March 2005, the Company announced a restructuring plan to streamline its operations and reduce costs. The restructuring plan included the termination of employment of approximately 100 employees, including manufacturing, research and development,
and selling, general and administrative functions. The Company recorded a restructuring charge within continuing operations of $2.8 million during the quarter ended April 1, 2005. At December 31, 2005, all of the affected positions had
been terminated and the severance payments were concluded. Restructuring expense in shown in the line item Restructurings in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 11GAIN ON LONG-LIVED ASSETS

In 2004, the Company announced that it would move all
internal volume of a certain wafer process to an outside provider. Due to this change in manufacturing usage, the Company recorded an impairment of approximately $27 million ($17 million net of tax) on certain production equipment and other assets.
The impairment was calculated as the excess of the assets carrying value over its fair value as determined by the market prices of these types of assets. In 2005 the Company reversed $0.6 million of the impairment on this equipment as the
actual selling price of certain assets exceeded the impaired value. All of the assets involved have been sold.

All impairments described
above relate to continuing operations and are contained within the caption Gain on long-lived assets on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 12OTHER INCOME

During 2004, Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne damaged the Companys Palm Bay, Florida facilities. The Company began repairs to the facilities during September 2004 and the majority of the work was completed by the
end of 2004. The Company recorded $2.7 million in losses in fiscal year 2004 related to the reconstruction costs incurred and those contracted for in order to fully restore the facilities to their original usefulness. During fiscal year 2005, the
Company received a $2 million insurance claim payment relating to damages caused by the aforementioned hurricanes. This gain is contained in the Other income line item for fiscal year 2005.

NOTE 13LEASES AND COMMITMENTS

Total rental
expense from continuing operations amounted to $7.1 million, $6.6 million and $6.9 million for fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Future minimum lease commitments under non-cancelable operating leases primarily related to land and
office buildings amounted to approximately $25.5 million at December 28, 2007.

The following table sets forth the Companys
future contractual obligations and off balance sheet arrangements, which are generally non-cancellable, at December 28, 2007 ($ in millions):

Future minimum lease commitments consist primarily of leases for buildings and other real
property. Open raw material purchase commitments are comprised of purchase orders for foundry wafers, silicon wafers, as well as other miscellaneous items. The Company utilizes standby letters of credit primarily for security for workers
compensation, environmental items, and as security for our vendors.

NOTE 14COMMON STOCK AND DIVIDENDS

14.1) Common StockIntersil shareholders approved an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in 2005 that restated the
Companys authorized capital stock to consist of 600 million shares of Intersil Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 2 million shares of preferred stock. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one
vote for each share held. The Board of Directors has broad discretionary authority to designate the terms of the preferred stock should it be issued.

In 2004, in connection with the acquisition of Xicor, Intersil reserved 547,887 shares of Intersil Class A common stock in conjunction with its exchange of warrants for certain Xicor warrants outstanding. There
was no material warrant exercise activity during the balance of 2004 and the entirety of 2005. During 2006, all of the remaining warrants were exercised prior to expiration.

During 2005, the Company retired its treasury stock and adopted the policy of immediately retiring shares of its Class A common stock that it
repurchases under plans approved by the Companys Board of Directors (see Note 15).

February 2008, the Board declared a dividend of $0.12 per share for the first quarter of 2008, an indicated annual rate of $0.48 per share. Dividends in the future will be declared at the discretion of the Board of Directors upon consideration of
business conditions, liquidity and outlook. Dividends paid were $24.2 million ($0.17 per share), $29.4 million ($0.21 per share) and $53.4 million ($0.40 per share) in fiscal 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

NOTE 15SHARE REPURCHASES; TREASURY SHARES

Since 2001, the Company has been repurchasing its own Class A common shares on the open market acting under plans authorized by the Board of Directors. The primary purpose of the share repurchases has been to return cash generated by
the business to shareholders. A secondary objective has been to offset the dilution from employee stock option exercises.

The following
table presents a summary of the stock repurchase programs that have been authorized by the Board of Directors since this strategy has been adopted:



|                          |  |           |  |                 |  |

|October 2007              |  | 1 year    |  | $400 million    |  | $67 million by December 28, 2007          
|                          |  |           |  |                 |  |                                           
|                          |  |           |  |                 |  | Total: $1,067 million by December 28, 2007

The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of purchases will be based on a variety of
factors, including general market conditions and the market price and trading volume of its shares. In 2005, concurrent with the November program authorization by the Board, the Company retired all treasury shares then held and plans to immediately
retire shares repurchased in the future. No treasury shares had ever been reissued.

See Note 14.1 for details on the number of shares
repurchased by the Company under repurchase programs.

16.4) Uncertain tax positions and unrecognized tax benefits

Effective December 30, 2006 (fiscal 2007), the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 is an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises
financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Further, it provides guidance on
derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition matters.

Upon adoption and
the conclusion of the initial evaluation of the Companys uncertain tax positions (UTPs) under FIN 48, no adjustments were recorded. Consistent with past practice, the Company classifies accrued interest and penalties on income tax
matters in the current liabilities section of the balance sheet as Income Taxes Payable. When the interest and penalty portions of such UTPs are adjusted, it is classified as Income Tax Expense. All of the UTPs at
December 31, 2007 would affect our effective tax rate should they be recognized. During fiscal 2007, the Company recognized $0.9 million of potential interest and penalties on its UTPs in its consolidated statement of operations. The
Company is subject to filing requirements in the United States Federal jurisdiction and in many state and foreign jurisdictions for numerous consolidated and separate entity income tax returns.

The table below summarizes the Companys activity, since adoption of FIN 48, in its UTBs resulting from its UTPs:

In the first quarter of 2008, the Company expects to reverse the non-current portion of income taxes
payable at December 28, 2007 to income taxes in the consolidated statement of operations as a benefit due to the expiration of the statute of limitations on the tax years 2002 and 2003. This item is a substantial portion of our UTB balance at
December 28, 2007. The benefit to income taxes and earnings is expected to be approximately $40.7 million and will be apportioned between continuing and discontinued operations. See Note 23.3.

Other matters in the Companys remaining approximately $16 million of UTBs are UTPs relating primarily to international income tax
matters. These international income tax matters may also significantly change within the next 12 months for the same reasons. Management cannot estimate a range of reasonably possible changes in these UTPs at this time.

In the major jurisdictions in which the Company operates, which includes the United States, various individual States therein and several foreign
nations, returns for various tax years from 2004 forward are currently under taxing authority examination or remain subject to audit.

16.5) Other
income tax information

Pretax income of international subsidiaries was $53.0 million, $89.0 million and $109.6 million during fiscal
2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Income taxes paid were $9.0 million, $12.7 million and $9.0 million during fiscal 2005, 2006 and 2007,
respectively.

The Company has completed an analysis of projected future taxable income and determined that all deferred tax assets,
including net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) and tax-credit carryforwards, are more than likely to be utilized in the foreseeable future. Therefore, no valuation allowances have been provided on any deferred tax assets at December 28, 2007
and December 29, 2006. The Company has gross NOLs of approximately $33 million from acquisitions that expire in years 2008 through 2024. The annual utilization of these NOLs is limited pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382.

The Company expects to ultimately make use of deductions for all of its purchased intangibles on its income tax returns.

U.S. income taxes have not been provided on undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries because of Intersils intention to reinvest these
earnings. In October 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act (the AJCA) was signed into law. The AJCA provided for a deduction of 85% of certain foreign earnings that are repatriated, as defined in the AJCA, effectively reducing the U.S.
income rate on such actions. In December 2005, the Board of Directors authorized the repatriation, pursuant to the AJCA, of $150 million of accumulated foreign earnings. The Company completed the repatriation by the end of its fiscal 2005. As a
result of the repatriation, the Company recorded an additional tax expense of $6.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 and an adjusting reduction in tax expense of $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2006. Determination of the remaining
foreign earnings deemed to be permanently reinvested is not practicable.

NOTE 17GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION AND CONCENTRATIONS OF RISK

17.1) Geographic InformationIntersil operates exclusively in the semiconductor industry and primarily the analog sector therein.
Substantially all revenues result from the sale of semiconductor products. All intercompany revenues and balances have been eliminated.

A
summary of the operations by geographic area is summarized below (in millions):



|                           |  |                  |       |                  |   |                  |  |   |

17.2) Concentrations of Operational RiskIntersil markets its products for sale to
customers, including distributors, primarily in Asia and the United States. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customers financial condition and collateral is generally not required. The table below shows sales by country where
such value exceeded 10% in any one year:



|                                           |  |                  |   |  |                  |   |  |                  |

In addition to those in the table above, customers in each of Japan, Germany, Singapore, and Italy
accounted for at least 1% of the Companys sales in fiscal 2007. Three distributor customers and two OEM customers, each accounting for at least 5% of the Companys sales, totaled 43% of sales in fiscal 2007. Two of these distributors
accounted for 11% each of sales during fiscal 2007 and 21% of aggregate net accounts receivable at December 28, 2007.

We rely
significantly on external vendors for approximately 74% of our wafer supply as measured in units. Additionally, we rely significantly on external vendors for test, assembly and packaging services. The test, assembly and packaging vendors we utilize
are primarily located in Asia, where a significant volume of our final product sales are made.

NOTE 18DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

18.1)The Company sold its Wireless product group in fiscal 2003 (the Transaction) and certain operations were thereafter presented as
discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements. In each subsequent fiscal year 2004 to 2006, inclusive, certain matters relating to the Transaction have occurred and have been classified and presented as discontinued operations in
the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows.

18.2) 2005 Transaction activityIn fiscal 2005, the
Company incurred an additional loss of $1.1 million ($1.0 million net of tax) from discontinued operations primarily due to the finalization of foreign taxes from the transaction.

##### Table of Contents

18.3) 2006 Transaction activityIn fiscal 2006, the Company settled the remaining litigation
relating to the Transaction and, after payment of the settlement and related costs, reclassified the remaining accrual for legal costs that had been established in fiscal 2003 to discontinued operations as income of $0.8 million ($0.5 million net of
tax).

18.4) 2007 Transaction activityIn fiscal 2007, the Company was presented with an additional tax claim on the
transaction by a foreign jurisdiction. The Company incurred research and defense costs for the claim of $0.3 million and ultimately settled the claim for $5.5 million. This resulted in a net charge to discontinued operations tax expense of $2.0
million, net of a previously established reserve for this claim of $3.5 million which was reversed. Therefore discontinued operations were a net loss of $2.3 million for 2007.

18.5) Transaction accountingIn accordance with the provisions of SFAS 144, the Company has not included the results of operations of its
Wireless Networking product group in the results from continuing operations for any period presented. In the Companys fiscal 2003 consolidated financial statements, which are not presented herein, the results of operations for this product
group were reflected in discontinued operations through the date of the sale. At December 29, 2006 and December 28, 2007, no assets or liabilities relating to the Transaction remain recorded in the consolidated financial statements of the
Company.

The income (loss) from discontinued operations is presented below ($ in millions):

NOTE 19GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS

In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, the provisions related to recognizing a liability at inception of a guarantee for the fair value of the guarantors obligations do not apply to product warranties or to guarantees accounted
for as derivatives.

19.1) WarrantyIntersil provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is
recognized. While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its suppliers, the estimated warranty obligation is affected by ongoing product failure rates and
material usage costs incurred in correcting a product failure. If actual product failure rates or material usage costs differ from estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. The Company warrants that its products
will be free from defects in material workmanship and possess the electrical characteristics to which the Company has committed. The warranty period is for one year following shipment. The Company estimates its warranty allowances based on
historical warranty experience. It tracks returns by type and specifically identifies those returns that were based on product failures and similar occurrences.

19.2) IndemnificationsThe Company sold its facility in Pennsylvania to Fairchild
Semiconductor (Fairchild) in 2001. Fairchild subsequently alleged that trichloroethylene was discovered in the groundwater under that site, and has indicated that they will be seeking indemnification from Intersil. To the extent any contamination
was caused prior to August 1999, Harris has indemnified Intersil against any associated environmental liabilities. Harris indemnification of us and our indemnification of Fairchild have no expiration date, nor do they have a maximum amount.

The Harris facilities in Palm Bay, Florida, are listed on the National Priorities List (NPL) for groundwater clean up under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liabilities Act, or Superfund. Intersils adjacent facility is included in the listing since it was owned by Harris at the time of the listing. Remediation activities associated with the
NPL site have ceased. However, Harris is still obligated to conduct groundwater monitoring on the Companys property for an unspecified period of time. Harris has indemnified Intersil against any environmental liabilities associated with this
contamination. This indemnification does not expire, nor does it have a maximum amount.

The Companys former facility in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia, which the Company sold in June 2000, has known groundwater contamination from past operations. The contamination was discovered in May 2000, during the closure activities associated with a former waste storage pad. This
contamination has been attributed to activities conducted prior to Intersils acquisition of the facility from Harris. Harris is conducting additional investigations and some remediation may be required. Harris has indemnified Intersil against
any environmental liabilities associated with this contamination, and Intersil likewise is indemnifying the purchaser against those liabilities. Harris indemnification of us and our indemnification of purchaser have no expiration date, nor do
they have a maximum amount.

The Company generally provides customers with a limited indemnification against intellectual property
infringement claims related to the Companys products. The Company accrues for known indemnification issues if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and accrues for estimated incurred but unidentified issues based on historical
activity.

In certain instances when we sell product groups, the Company may retain certain liabilities for known exposures and provide
indemnification to the buyer with respect to future claims arising from events occurring prior to the sale date, including liabilities for taxes, legal matters, intellectual property infringement, environmental exposures and other obligations. The
terms of the indemnifications vary in duration, from one to two years for certain types of indemnities, to terms for tax indemnifications that are generally aligned to the applicable statute of limitations for the jurisdiction in which the
divestiture occurred, and terms for environmental indemnities that typically do not expire. The maximum potential future payments that the Company could be required to make under these indemnifications are either contractually limited to a specified
amount or unlimited. The Company believes that the maximum potential future payments that the Company could be required to make under these indemnifications are not determinable at this time, as any future payments would be dependent on the type and
extent of the related claims, and all available defenses, which are not estimable.

Letters of Credit: The Company issues letters of credit during the ordinary course of business through major financial institutions as required by
certain vendor contracts. The Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $3.1 million and $2.5 million at December 29, 2006 and December 28, 2007, respectively. Certain short-term investments with a total carrying value of $3.0
million are pledged to secure such letters of credit.

Derivatives: Intersil uses foreign exchange contracts to hedge anticipated
foreign cash flow commitments up to six months. Total net losses on foreign exchange contracts were $0.3 million, $-0- million and $0.3 million for fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Realized gains and losses from hedges are classified
in the statements of operations consistent with the accounting treatment of the items being hedged. Intersil purchased and sold foreign exchange forward and put option contracts with a notional value of $66.4 million, $43.6 million and $38.1 million
during fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Open foreign exchange contracts had fair values of $15.5 million and $20.8 million at December 29, 2006 and December 28, 2007, respectively. Management believes its cash flow hedges
have been economically effective.

Total open foreign exchange contracts at December 29, 2006 and December 28, 2007 are described
in the tables below (all are options to sell foreign currencies):

NOTE 21LITIGATION MATTERS

The Company is currently party to various claims and legal proceedings, including those discussed below. When the Company believes that a loss is probable
and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company recognizes the estimated amount of the loss. The Company includes legal costs in its estimate of losses. As additional information becomes available, the Company will reassess any
potential liability related to these matters and, if necessary, will revise its estimates.

If the Company believes a loss is less than
likely but more than remote, it will disclose the nature of the matter and, if possible, disclose its estimate of the possible loss. Although the Company considers the risk of loss from the legal proceedings discussed below to be less than likely
but more than remote, it is unable to estimate the amount of possible losses resulting from these proceedings based on currently available information. The Company believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters, individually and in the
aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or overall trends in results of its operations. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings could occur, including an award of monetary
damages or issuance of an injunction prohibiting the Company from selling one or more products. It is possible that an unfavorable ruling could have a material adverse impact on the results of the Companys operations for the period in which
the ruling occurs, or in future periods. Because the Company believes the defense of these matters to be probable, the Company will, from time to time, record accruals for estimated costs to defend these positions, exclusive of settlement or
judgment costs. At December 28, 2007, there were no such accruals recorded.

We and certain of our former directors as well as our
lead underwriter of our February 2000 initial public offering, Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, were named as defendants in several law suits, the first of which is a class action filed on June 8, 2001 in the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York. The complaints allege violations of Rule 10b-5 based on, among other things, the dissemination of statements containing material misstatements and/or omissions concerning the commissions received by the

underwriters of the initial public offering, as well as failure to disclose the existence of purported agreements by the underwriters with some of the
purchasers in these offerings to thereafter buy additional shares of Intersil in the open market at pre-determined prices above the offering prices. These lawsuits against us, as well as those alleging similar claims against other issuers in initial
public offerings, have been consolidated for pre-trial purposes with a number of other related securities suits. In April 2002, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint against us and certain of our officers and directors. The
consolidated amended complaint pleads claims under both the 1933 Securities Act and under the 1934 Securities Exchange Act. In addition to the allegations of wrongdoing described above, plaintiffs also now allege that analysts employed by
underwriters who were acting as investment bankers for the Company improperly touted the value of our shares during the relevant class period as part of the purported scheme to artificially inflate the value of our shares. In October 2002, the
individual employee defendants were dismissed from the class action suit. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, litigation costs and expenses.

A tentative settlement was reached between the plaintiffs and all defendant stock issuers, with ongoing negotiations as to the specific terms of the settlement agreement. Under that agreement, we would not have been required to pay any
damages, expenses or litigation costs to the plaintiffs. However, on December 5, 2006, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the class certification of six focus cases that are part of the ±300 consolidated class
action suits. On July 2, 2007, the District Court formally terminated the motion to approve the proposed settlement because the Second Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the class certification in six focus cases. The District Court
then issued an order on August 30, 2007 declining to apply the decision of the Second Circuit to cases other than the focus cases, including the action against the Company, and further held that the statute of limitations in such cases
continued to be tolled. On August 14, 2007, the Plaintiffs filed an amended master complaint containing allegations purportedly common to all defendants in all actions and filed amended complaints containing specific allegations
against the six issuer defendants in the six focus cases. In addition, on September 27, 2007, the plaintiffs again moved to certify classes in each of the six focus cases. The Court has approved a stipulation extending the time within which the
plaintiffs must file amended pleadings containing specific allegations against the other issuer defendants, including the Company, and the time within which those defendants must move, answer or otherwise respond to those specific allegations. It is
unknown how this ruling will affect the outcome of the case.

NOTE 22RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

22.1) Emerging Issues Task Force No. 06-11, Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Shares-Based Payment Awards (EITF
06-11)Issued in June 2007, this EITF clarifies the accounting for a realized income tax benefit (Tax Benefit) from dividends that are charged to retained earnings and paid to employees for nonvested equity share units such as the
Companys Awards. The conclusion is that the Tax Benefits should be recognized as an increase in additional paid-in capital and that any such amount should also be included in the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb tax deficiencies
on share-based payment awards. EITF 06-11 shall be prospectively applied to the Tax Benefits from dividends on Awards that are declared in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2007. The Company plans to adopt EITF 06-11 for its 2008
fiscal year. It is not anticipated that the effect of adoption will be material.

22.2) Emerging Issues Task Force No. 07-3,
Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development Activities (EITF 07-3)Issued in April 2007, this EITF clarifies the accounting for the costs of advance payments
for goods or services that are non-refundable and to be used in future research and development activities (Advance Payments). The conclusion is that the Advance Payments should be deferred and capitalized to be subsequently recognized as an expense
as the goods are delivered or the services performed. EITF 07-3 shall be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 and should be adopted as a change in accounting principle through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained
earnings. For the Company, EITF 07-3 shall be adopted effective with its 2008 fiscal year. The Company does not anticipate that the effect of adoption will be material.

22.3) FASB Staff Position FIN 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation
No. 48 (FSP FIN 48-1)Issued in May 2007, this FSP amends FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes to provide guidance on how to determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the
purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits since certainty in certain tax matters can become evident in different ways and through different processes. A series of conditions to determine a state of effective settlement
are presented in the FSP. For the Company, since it has not had material changes in its UTPs since adoption of FIN 48 for fiscal 2007, the adoption requirement is to apply the provisions of FSP FIN 48-1 from the date of initial adoption of FIN
48. Therefore, this FSP is effectively adopted by the Company currently. The Company did not record any adjustments to its UTPs from this adoption and does not anticipate that the future effect of this FSP will be material.

22.4) FASB Statement No. 141(R), Business Combinations (SFAS 141R)Issued in December 2007, SFAS No. 141R provides
companies with principles and requirements on how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree as well as the recognition and
measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS 141R also requires certain disclosures to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. Acquisition costs
associated with the business combination will generally be expensed as incurred. SFAS 141R is effective for business combinations occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which will require us to adopt these provisions for
business combinations occurring in fiscal 2009 and thereafter. Early adoption of SFAS No. 141R is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 141R will have on any future business combinations we enter into.

NOTE 23SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

23.1) Dividend declarationIn January 2008, the Companys Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock. Payment of the dividend was made on February 22, 2008 to shareholders of
record at the close of business on February 12, 2008.

23.2) Unrealized loss on auction rate securitiesAs of
January 25, 2008, the end of the Companys first month of fiscal 2008, the value reported to the Company by the broker-dealer for the ARS described in Note 3.1 reported to the Company the calculated market value of $91.0 million.
Additionally, two of the issues were downgraded from AAA to AA. The majority of the Companys investments in ARSs were still rated AAA at January 25, 2008. The Company will continue to evaluate the fair value of these securities as
provided under SFAS 115 on a quarterly basis. If the Company concludes that the temporary impairment recorded for any individual issues is other-than-temporary, it will be required to record a write-down of those investments at that time with a
charge to the consolidated statements of operations.

23.3) Tax reserve reversalIn the first quarter of 2008, the Company
expects to reverse the non-current portion of income taxes payable at December 28, 2007 to income taxes in the consolidated statement of operations as a benefit due to the expiration of the statute of limitations on the tax years 2002 and 2003.
That benefit to income taxes and earnings is expected to be approximately $40.7 million and will be apportioned between continuing and discontinued operations. See Note 16.4.

|Item 9A. | Controls and Procedures
|-------- | -----------------------

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures (Disclosure Controls) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K. The controls evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our CEO and CFO. Disclosure Controls are
controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissions (SECs) rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our quarterly evaluation of Disclosure Controls includes an evaluation of some components of our internal control over financial reporting, and internal control over financial
reporting is also separately evaluated on an annual basis for purposes of providing the management report, which is set forth below.

The
evaluation of our Disclosure Controls included a review of the controls objectives and design, the companys implementation of the controls and the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this Annual Report on Form
10-K. In the course of the controls evaluation, we reviewed identified data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and sought to confirm that appropriate corrective actions, including process improvements, were being undertaken. This type of
evaluation is performed on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions of management, including the CEO and CFO, concerning the effectiveness of the Disclosure Controls can be reported in our periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K. Many of the
components of our Disclosure Controls are also evaluated on an ongoing basis by our Internal Audit, Finance and by other personnel. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our Disclosure Controls, and to modify them
as necessary. Our intent is to maintain the Disclosure Controls as dynamic systems that change as conditions warrant.

Based upon the
controls evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K, our Disclosure Controls were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act
reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC, and that material information relating to Intersil and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to management, including the CEO and CFO,
particularly during the period when our periodic reports are being prepared.

Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations
of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.

##### Table of Contents

Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 2007, the end
of our fiscal year. Management based its assessment on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Managements assessment included
evaluation of such elements as the design and operating effectiveness of key financial reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies, and our overall control environment. This assessment is supported by testing and monitoring by our
management and Internal Audit organizations.

Based on our assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial
reporting was effective as of the end of the fiscal year to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Furthermore, management has concluded that no change in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the Companys fiscal fourth quarter ended December 28, 2007 that has materially affected, or
is reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting. We reviewed the results of managements assessment with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

The companys management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control systems objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that the benefits of controls must be considered relative to
their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if
any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the
individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no
assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
