Item 1. Business



General



We are a global designer and manufacturer of high performance analog integrated circuits
(ICs). We believe our product portfolio addresses some of the fastest growing applications in four attractive end markets: high-end consumer, computing, communications and industrial.



Glossary of Technical Terms



We have included the following definitions of technical terms to aid the reader:



48-volt telecom: 48-volt telecom servers convert battery power,
which is used by telephone switching equipment, into lower voltages, such as 1.5 volt, required by digital logic integrated circuits such as microprocessors.



ACPI:ACPI (Advanced configuration power interface) is the computing industry specification for the efficient handling of power consumption in
desktop and mobile computers. ACPI specifies how a computers basic input/output system, operating system and peripheral devices communicate with each other. Sleep states like suspend or hibernate are
controlled by devices following the ACPI standard.



ADSL:ADSL (Asymmetric digital subscriber line) is a technology for the transmission of digital information at a high bandwidth on existing phone lines to homes and businesses. Unlike regular dial-up phone service, ADSL provides
continuously-available, always on digital connection. ADSL is asymmetric in that it uses most of the channel to transmit downstream to the user and only a small part to receive information from the user. ADSL can be used simultaneously
with standard analog (voice) information on the same line. ADSL is generally offered at downstream data rates from 512 kilobits per second (Kbps) to about 6 megabits per second (Mbps) although speeds of up to 50 Mbps have been achieved.



DDR:DDR (Double data rate) is synchronous dynamic Random Access
Memory (RAM) that can theoretically improve memory clock speed to at least 200 megahertz (MHz), enhancing the performance of a personal computer. It activates output on both the rising and falling edge of the system clock rather than just on the
rising edge, potentially doubling the output for each clock cycle.



HDSL:HDSL (High bit-rate digital subscriber line), one of the earliest forms of DSL, is used for wideband digital transmission within a corporate site and between the telephone company and a customer. The main characteristic of HDSL
is that it is symmetrical: an equal amount of bandwidth is available in both directions. HDSL can carry as much on a single wire of twisted-pair cable as a T1 line (up to 1.544 Mbps) in North America or an E1 line (up to 2.048 Mbps) in Europe over a
somewhat longer range and is considered an alternative to a T1 or E1 connections.



Laser diode drivers: A laser diode driver is an integrated circuit design to drive a laser diode. A laser diode is a semiconductor device that produces coherent radiation (in which the waves are all at the same
frequency and phase) in the visible or infrared (IR) spectrum when current passes through it. Such devices are used in all writeable optical storage devices to write to the storage media (e.g., CD-Rs or DVD-Rs).



Operational amplifier:The term operational amplifier or
op-amp refers to a class of integrated circuit with two inputs, one output and a high-gain. This device is very flexible and is used in signal amplification and conditioning applications.



TFT-LCD: A display screen made with TFT (thin-film transistor)
technology is a liquid crystal display (LCD), used in phones, televisions, notebook and laptop computers, that has a transistor for each pixel (that is, for each of the tiny elements that control the illumination of the display). Having a transistor
at each pixel means that the current that triggers pixel illumination can be smaller than with other technologies and therefore can be switched on and off more quickly. TFT is also known as active matrix display technology (and contrasts with
passive matrix which does not have a transistor at each pixel).



VDSL: VDSL (Very high bit rate digital subscriber line) is a higher speed version of ADSL. VDSL operates at data rates up to 70 to 80 Mbps, with its corresponding maximum reach ranging from 4500 feet to 1000
feet of 24 gauge twisted-pair cable.



VOIP: VOIP (Voice
over Internet protocol) uses the Internet Protocol (IP) to transmit voice as packets over an IP network.

History



We were formed on August 13, 1999 through a series of transactions, in which we and our
wholly-owned subsidiary, Intersil Communications, Inc. (Intersil Communications), acquired the semiconductor business of Harris Corporation (Harris). On March 16, 2001, we sold the assets of our Discrete Power products group
to Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation (Fairchild) for $338.0 million in cash and the assumption by Fairchild of certain liabilities of the product group. On May 14, 2002, we consummated a merger with Elantec Semiconductor, Inc.
(Elantec). On August 28, 2003, we sold the assets of our Wireless Networking products group to GlobespanVirata, Inc. (GlobespanVirata) for $250.0 million in cash and $114.4 million in GlobespanVirata common stock.
Additionally, we kept the product groups accounts receivable and accounts payable balances that existed at the time of sale.

We market our products for sale to
customers, including distributors, primarily in the United States, China, Taiwan, Japan, Germany, Singapore, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia and the United Kingdom. Of our sales from continuing operations in fiscal year 2003, 25% were made to customers in
the United States, 24% to customers in China, 13% to customers in Taiwan and 12% to customers in Japan. Customers in each of Germany, Singapore, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia and the United Kingdom accounted for at least 1% of our sales.



Export sales included in U.S. operations were $89.2 million, $139.6 million and $146.1
million during fiscal years 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.



Sales,
Marketing and Distribution



In fiscal year 2003, we derived 71% of our
sales from original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers, original design manufacturer (ODM) customers, and contract manufacturers. We derived 29% of our sales through distributors and valued added resellers. Of our sales
from continuing operations for fiscal year 2003, 12% were made to one distributor that supports a wide range of customers in Taiwan and China.



Our sales organizations are 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 directly or indirectly via third parties
or 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 Asian 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, and
is aligned by specific product grouping, ensuring both applications and product/customer focus. Our dedicated marketing organization supports field sales and is aligned by specific product group.



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 multiple product orders are placed through distribution.



Typically distributors handle a wide variety of products, including products 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. Virtually all distribution agreements contain an industry standard stock rotation provision allowing for minimum levels of inventory returns. 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.



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 $91.3 million, $77.9 million and $66.7 million on internal research and development projects for fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. In 2003, we announced over 300 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 efforts and acquisitions. As of January
2, 2004, we had 397 employees engaged in research and development efforts.

We also engage in advanced research projects with a number of universities, including the University of Florida, the
Georgia Institute of Technology and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Technology and research has also been extended through selective investments in privately held emerging companies.



Manufacturing



We manufacture products using our own fabrication facility as well as external foundry companies, which produce products to our
specifications. Our internal facility is located in Palm Bay, Florida.



In July
2002, we announced the closing of our factory located in Milpitas, California. This activity was successfully completed, on schedule, in November 2003. We also successfully completed the transfer of our operational amplifier/DSL production process
to our Palm Bay facility.



Our Palm Bay, Florida facility features 6 inch, 0.6
micron processing capability utilizing an extensive set of manufacturing processes to fabricate our products including technologies such as: BiCMOS, Power BiCMOS, High Frequency Bipolar and CMOS. We outsource complex sub-micron CMOS and BiCMOS
manufacturing to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), AMI Semiconductor, IBM Semiconductor and others. The table below sets forth certain information regarding our manufacturing facility, products, wafer diameter and annual
wafer capacity:

Our manufacturing processes use many
raw materials, including silicon wafers and various chemicals and gases. We obtain our raw materials and supplies from a large number of sources on a just-in-time basis. We entered into a multi-year agreement with ChipPAC, pursuant to which, ChipPAC
provides us with test and package services at competitive pricing. Under this agreement, we are required to offer ChipPAC a minimum percentage of our total packaging requirements, currently 90% and dropping to 80% on June 30, 2004. The initial term
of the agreement expires on June 30, 2005, but it provides for successive automatic one-year renewal periods unless either party notifies the other at least six months prior to the beginning of a renewal period that it does not wish to renew the
agreement. Although we expect our relationship with ChipPAC to continue after the expiration date of this agreement, the services provided to us by ChipPAC are also available from other outside vendors.In addition, we augment ChipPACs
capabilities by utilizing several other assembly and test service companies. We also have limited assembly and testing capabilities in Palm Bay, Florida and Milpitas, California. Although supplies for the raw materials used by us are currently
adequate, shortages could occur in various essential materials due to interruption of supply or increased demand in the industry.



Backlog



Our sales are made pursuant to cancelable purchase orders that are generally booked from one to six months in advance of delivery. Backlog is influenced by several factors, including market demand, pricing and
customer order patterns in reaction to product lead times. We had backlog at January 2, 2004 of $83.6 million compared to $98.1 million at January 3, 2003. The backlog as of January 3, 2003 excludes $33.2 million related to the Wireless Networking
product group.



Seasonality



The high end consumer and computing markets generally experience weak demand in the first
fiscal quarter of each year and stronger demand in the third and fourth quarters.



Competition



We compete in our targeted markets 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.



Our major competitors include Analog
Devices, Semtech Corporation, Linear Technology, Maxim Integrated Products, National Semiconductor and Texas Instruments.

Trademarks and Patents



We own rights to a number of trademarks and patents that are important to our business. Among others, we consider Intersil, Elantec, Enduraand CommLinkto be trademarks that are material to our operations. These trademarks do not expire, provided we
continue to use the trademarks in our business. Some of our trademarks have been registered with U.S. and other trademark authorities that 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 1,050 US and foreign
patents and have approximately 300 US and foreign patents pending. The expiration dates of these patents range from 2004 to 2022.



Employees



Our worldwide workforce consisted of 1,598 employees (full- and part-time) as of January 2, 2004. None of the Companys employees is 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 to comply with environmental regulations were about $2.6 million,
$2.1 million and $1.7 million in fiscal years 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.



The Harris Corporation (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 is still obligated to conduct
groundwater monitoring on our property for an unspecified period of time. Harris has indemnified us against any environmental liabilities associated with this contamination. This indemnification does not expire, nor does it have a maximum amount.



Our former facility in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, which we sold to ChipPAC 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 indemnified us against any environmental liabilities associated with this contamination,
and we indemnified ChipPAC against those liabilities. This indemnification does not expire, nor does it have a maximum amount.



Also, an industrial wastewater treatment plant at our former facility in Kuala Lumpur did not have sufficient hydraulic capacity to effectively treat the wastewater flows
associated with the level of production at the time of the sale to ChipPAC. In May, 2003 ChipPAC accepted a cash settlement for upgrading the industrial wastewater treatment plant and has issued us a release of claim.



Our former facility in Mountaintop, Pennsylvania, which we sold to Fairchild Semiconductor
(Fairchild) in February 2001, has experienced groundwater and subsurface contamination from past operations, all of which occurred prior to our acquisition of those facilities from Harris. Some remediation has been conducted, and
additional remediation may be required. Additionally, the neutralization plant suffered an out of compliance occurrence on November 11, 2000. As a result, we agreed to provide a redundant system to prevent any further disruptions. Also, the fluoride
pretreatment plant for industrial wastewater, which was installed by Harris in 1995, failed to operate to design specifications and occasionally made discharges to the local sanitary authority that exceed pretreatment standards. Harris has conducted
pilot studies and prepared a preliminary design to address the systems deficiencies and local discharge requirements. Harris indemnified us in connection with the fluoride wastewater system, and we subsequently indemnified Fairchild in
connection with Fairchilds purchase of the facility. This matter was resolved in 2003, when we, Harris and Fairchild released each other from any future claims related to the treatment plant.



Based on the historical costs of these projects and previous experience with other
remediation activities, we do not believe that the future cleanup costs related to the Palm Bay, Kuala Lumpur and Mountaintop facilities will be material.



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 materials 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 3. Legal Proceedings



On November 23, 1998,
Harris Corporation (Harris), our predecessor, filed suit against Ericsson and Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson for infringement of various cellular technology patents. Ericsson countersued and filed a complaint in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against Harris for infringement of certain telecommunication patents. Shortly after we purchased the semiconductor business from Harris, Ericsson joined us in the suit by filing an Amended Complaint
on October 15, 1999. After discovery and depositions by the parties, only Ericssons U.S. patent 4,961,222 remains in the suit. Ericsson sought damages from Harris and us, as well as injunctive relief prohibiting sales of the products at issue.
On June 3, 2001, the jury returned a verdict against Harris and us regarding patent infringement of our 5513/5514/5518 SLIC families. The total amount awarded against Harris is $4.1 million, and the amount against us is $151,000. We have the benefit
of an indemnity from Harris for this amount, but the possibility of an injunction exists against future affected SLIC sales. On July 11, 2002, the court granted Harris and our post-trial motion for summary judgment, setting aside the entire
jury verdict and giving Ericsson nothing. Ericsson filed an appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and we cross-appealed on September 4, 2002 to preserve our rights. On December 9, 2003, the Court of Appeals reversed
the District Courts granting of judgment as a matter of law on non-infringement and affirmed the denial of judgment as a matter of law relating to damages. A motion for Rehearing has been denied, and the case will be now be remanded to the
District Court.



We and certain of our present officers and directors as well
as our lead initial public offering underwriter and lead underwriter of our September 2000 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 multitude of other securities related 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 us 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 has recently been 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 be required to pay any damages, expenses or litigation costs to the plaintiffs. When negotiations are completed and the parties have agreed upon the final terms of the settlement agreement, the agreement must be approved by
the court before dismissal of us and other parties to the agreement from the suit.

In June 2001, Harris filed suit against United States Filter Wastewater Group (USF) regarding a fluoride
wastewater treatment system that USFs predecessor designed, manufactured and installed at Harriss former Mountaintop, Pennsylvania facility pursuant to a December 1993 contract. Harris alleges the system does not comply with the December
1993 contractual specifications or other requirements imposed by the local sewer authority. Harris is seeking from USF approximately $3,500,000 in operating costs, consultant fees and the cost of constructing a new wastewater treatment system.
Harris sold the facility and system to us in 1999 and we sold the facility and system to Fairchild Semiconductor Corp. (Fairchild) in 2001. We and Fairchild intervened as party-plaintiffs in the lawsuit against USF. The parties signed a
settlement agreement on November 21, 2003, and the suit was permanently discontinued on January 4, 2004 at no cost to us other than attorneys fees. As part of the settlement between us, Fairchild and Harris, each party released the others from
any future claims related to the fluoride wastewater system.



On October 17,
2002, Agere Systems, Inc. (Agere) filed suit against us in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that we have infringed U.S. Patent Nos. 5,128,960, 5,420,599, 5,862,182, 6,067,291, 6,404,732B1, and
6,452,958B1 by making, using, selling, offering to sell, and/or importing products that infringe these patents, which pertain solely to wireless signal transmission technology. In August 2003, we completed the sale of our wireless product
operations, including our entire wireless product line, to GlobespanVirata, Inc. (GlobespanVirata). Therefore, none of our current products are affected by this claim. Agere seeks a permanent injunction as well as unspecified actual and
treble damages including costs, expenses, and attorneys fees. We have filed counterclaims against Agere, including claims that Agere infringes 2 telecommunication and 8 semiconductor technology patents. The parties are currently in the
discovery phase of the litigation. A trial has been scheduled for November 2004.



On July 22, 2003, Agere filed a second patent suit against us in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that we have infringed U.S. Patent Nos. 6,563,786, 6,323,126, 5,227,335, and 5,102,827 by making, using,
selling, offering to sell, and/or importing products that infringe these patents, three of which allegedly pertain to our semiconductor process technology. A finding of infringement could affect any of the products proved to have been manufactured
using the claimed processes. Based on current knowledge, we do not believe that any of our semiconductor manufacturing processes infringe the patents asserted by Agere and therefore believe that our products should not be detrimentally affected.
Agere seeks a permanent injunction as well as unspecified actual and treble damages including costs, expenses, and attorneys fees. We have counter-sued Agere for infringement of 4 semiconductor technology patents. We have also sued Lucent
Technologies, Ageres customer and former parent corporation, for infringement of 12 semiconductor technology patents.



The asset purchase agreement between GlobespanVirata and us contains an indemnification provision whereby, upon satisfaction of certain conditions by GlobespanVirata, we
have agreed to indemnify GlobespanVirata for litigation expenses incurred in connection with the pending patent and trade secret suits with Agere. These litigation expenses consist of final awards of money damages, reasonable legal fees and expenses
and costs of settlement incurred by GlobespanVirata. Our indemnification obligation for litigation expenses is limited to the amount of the purchase price paid to us by GlobespanVirata for the Wireless Networking product group. Based on information
known to date, we do not believe that an adverse outcome in the pending suits with Agere would have a material adverse effect on us.



On October 30, 2002, we, Intersil Americas Inc., and our subsidiary at that time, Choice-Intersil Microsystems, Inc. (Choice), filed a Complaint and
associated motion for preliminary injunction against Agere in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania for misappropriation of trade secrets developed pursuant to a Joint Development Agreement (JDA)
between Choice and Lucent. On September 9, 2003, the District Court issued an order denying our motion and we have filed an interlocutory appeal of this order with the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (the Appeal). We
have amended the Complaint to add claims against Agere for copyright infringement. In August 2003, we sold Choice to GlobespanVirata, Inc. (GlobespanVirata). Agere counterclaimed against us, Intersil Americas Inc., Choice, and
GlobespanVirata (Counterclaim Defendants), alleging trade secret misappropriation, unjust enrichment, declaratory judgment regarding Ageres alleged rights under the JDA, breach of contract, tortious interference with contract, and
copyright infringement, involving alleged acts and omissions before and after our sale of Choice. Agere seeks a preliminary and permanent injunction as well as unspecified actual damages including costs, expenses, and attorneys fees. In
February 2004, the Court dismissed us and Intersil Americas Inc. as co-Plaintiffs, leaving Choice as the Plaintiff. We and Intersil Americas Inc. remain as Counterclaim Defendants. The parties have requested a jury trial which is presently expected
to take place in the fourth quarter of 2004. We dispute Ageres counterclaims and intend to vigorously defend the lawsuit.



On July 23, 2003, Symbol Technologies, Inc (Symbol), our customer, filed suit against us and our subsidiary, Choice, in the Supreme Court of the State of New
York, Suffolk County. Symbol alleges that we and Choice are required to indemnify Symbol in an amount in excess of $1.5 million for Symbols expenses, including attorneys fees, incurred in defending certain patent infringement claims asserted
against Symbol by Proxim Incorporated in two separate civil actions pending in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. Symbol contends that the alleged infringement was caused by hardware and firmware components purchased from
us and included in Symbol products. We dispute Symbols indemnification claims and intend to vigorously defend the lawsuit.



In relation to the above matters, we have accruals of $19.1 million as of January 2, 2004 for estimated legal costs to defend our positions.

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. 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.



This Annual Report contains statements relating to expected future results and business
trends of the Company that are based upon our current estimates, expectations, and projections about our industry, and upon managements beliefs, and certain assumptions we have made, 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, 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: global economic and market
conditions, including the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry and the markets addressed by our and our customers products; demand for, and market acceptance of, new and existing products; successful development of new products; the
timing of new product introductions; the successful integration of acquisitions; the availability and extent of utilization of manufacturing capacity and raw materials; the need for additional capital; pricing pressures and other competitive
factors; changes in product mix; fluctuations in manufacturing yields; product obsolescence; the ability to develop and implement new technologies and to obtain protection of the related intellectual property. These forward-looking
statements are made only as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.



Overview



We are a global designer and manufacturer of high performance analog integrated circuits. We believe our product portfolio addresses some of
the fastest growing applications within four attractive end markets: high-end consumer, computing, communications and industrial.



Basis of Presentation



On March 16, 2001, we sold the assets of our Discrete Power products group to Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation (Fairchild) for $338.0 million in cash and the assumption by Fairchild of certain
liabilities of the product group. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 28, 2001 has been reduced by the assets purchased and liabilities assumed by Fairchild.



Additionally, the operating results of our Discrete Power products group are shown within continuing operations in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations.



On May 14, 2002, we consummated the merger with
Elantec. The merger was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of Elantec have been included in the accompanying financial schedules since the merger date.



On July 15, 2003, we announced that we had entered into a definitive agreement to sell our
Wireless Networking product group to GlobespanVirata, Inc. (GlobespanVirata). The Wireless Networking product group provides complete silicon, software and reference design solutions that meet the IEEEs 802.11 standards. The sale
was consummated on August 28, 2003. We received $250 million in cash and approximately $114.4 million in GlobespanVirata stock. We also retained the accounts receivable and accounts payable of the product group in place at the time of sale.



The following results and discussion of the results of operations reflect
reclassifications for discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS 144), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. We adopted SFAS 144 on December
29, 2001.



In June 2001 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which we adopted on December 29, 2001. Under these new rules, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite
lives are no longer amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. As required by SFAS 142, we ceased amortizing goodwill and other indefinite lived
intangible assets beginning December 29, 2001. Included in the above is assembled workforce, which under SFAS 142, is defined as an indefinite lived asset.

Revenue



Revenue from continuing operations for fiscal year 2003 increased 21.0% to $507.7 million
from $419.6 million during fiscal year 2002. Increased demand for desktop and notebook power management, optical storage and DSL products increased revenue by $77.2 million. In addition, fiscal year 2003 contained a full-year of Elantec revenues and
fiscal year 2002 contained approximately six months of such revenues. This resulted in an additional $41.8 million in revenue for fiscal year 2003. We also changed our revenue recognition for North American distribution in fiscal year 2002, which
caused revenues to be higher in fiscal year 2003 by $14.7 million. These increases were offset by a $45.4 million decline in automotive related products as a result of our exit of that product group. In total, average selling price declined 4%,
which caused a $17.8 million decrease in revenue. As an offset, volume increased by 26%, which caused a $105.9 million increase in revenue.

Geographically, 59.6%, 26.6% and 13.8% of product sales were derived from Asia/Pacific, North America and Europe,
respectively, during fiscal year 2003 compared to 48.9%, 31.1% and 20.0% during fiscal year 2002. The increase in the percentage of revenue generated from Asia/Pacific in 2002 over 2003 is primarily due to the acquisition of Elantec, which shipped
approximately 40% of its products to Japan during fiscal year 2003. We ship our products to a variety of countries (in descending order by volume) including the United States, China, Taiwan, Japan, Germany, Singapore, Korea, Thailand, United Kingdom
and Malaysia as well as others with less volume. The United States comprised approximately 25% of the shipments, followed by China with 24% and Taiwan with 13% during fiscal year 2003. Significant customers in the United States include two of our
major distributors, who accounted for 20% and 18% of our revenues in the region, respectively. Also, during fiscal year 2003, we made significant sales to one distributor that supports customers in Taiwan and China. This distributor comprised
approximately 58% of our sales to Taiwan and 18% of our sales to China.



Gross
Profit



Cost of product sales consists primarily of purchased materials, labor
and overhead (including depreciation) associated with product manufacturing, plus licensing and sustaining engineering expenses pertaining to products sold. In fiscal year 2003, gross profit from continuing operations increased 30.3% or $66.5
million to $285.9 million from $219.4 million in fiscal year 2002. As a percentage of sales, gross margin from continuing operations was 56.3% during fiscal year 2003 compared to 52.3% during fiscal year 2002, a 4-percentage point improvement. The
primary driver of the increase, was growth in revenue, which increased gross profit by $43.6 million. In addition, the full-year of Elantec increased gross profit by $22.4 million. The closure of our Findlay facility in mid 2002, improved gross
profit by approximately $10.5 million. We also changed our revenue recognition policy during fiscal year 2002 due to changes in our ability to estimate product returns. Since this change was not repeated in fiscal year 2003, gross profit improved by
$10.2 million. The exit of our lower margin Automotive products group decreased gross profit by $19.8 million. Approximately one-third of our wafer manufacturing is performed by third-party foundries. We continue to analyze our mix of internal
versus external manufacturing and any decision to increase our volume at third-party foundries could have an affect on the carrying value of our internal fabrication equipment.



Research and Development (R&D)



R&D expenses consist primarily of salaries and costs 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. R&D expenses from continuing operations increased 17.2% to $91.3 million during fiscal year 2003 from $77.9 million during fiscal
year 2002. The full year impact of the acquisition of Elantec contributed approximately $10 million in additional spending during the first four and one half months of fiscal year 2003. Also we increased overall R&D expenditures primarily on
payroll, which contributed to a record year for new product introductions: 312 in 2003 versus 158 in 2002.



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



SG&A costs, which include marketing, selling, general and administrative expenses, from continuing operations was relatively flat with expenses of $88.3 million during fiscal year 2003 compared to $89.6 million
during fiscal year 2002. However, as a percentage of sales, SG&A costs decreased to 17.4% in fiscal year 2003 from 21.4% in fiscal year 2002. This decrease is primarily due to workforce reduction actions taken during 2002 and 2003. Specifically,
we expect to see annual savings of $3.0 million, $2.1 million and $2.6 million in future periods for actions taken for the integration of Elantec (second quarter 2002), a workforce reduction (first quarter 2003) and the Wireless Networking product
group divestiture (third quarter 2003), respectively. These savings were partially offset by the full year effects of the SG&A costs for Elantec, which contributed approximately $6.1 million in increased spending.



Amortization



Amortization of intangible assets from continuing operations decreased to $6.3 million during the fiscal year 2003 from $6.8 million during
fiscal year 2002. Definite lived assets are being amortized over their useful lives ranging from 9 to 11 years.



Currently, FAS 142 requires testing goodwill for impairment at least annually while checking for impairment indicators quarterly. During the fourth quarter of 2003, we
determined that the value of each of our reporting units exceeded its book value. Therefore, no impairments were taken. Depending on the future market demand for our products, among other factors, we could experience an impairment on this balance.



Unearned Compensation



Amortization of unearned compensation from continuing operations decreased to $12.0 million
during fiscal year 2003 from $14.5 million during fiscal year 2002. This decrease is the result of the winding down of unearned compensation resulting from the Elantec merger.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets



During fiscal year 2002, we recorded two impairments totaling $5.9 million. The first impairment of $3.6 million ($2.3 million net of tax) related to the property,
plant and equipment within the Findlay, Ohio manufacturing facility. The write-down reduced the carrying value of the assets to their fair value, which was based on the contractual sales price of the assets in accordance with SFAS 144. Prior to this
impairment, the carrying value of the Findlay assets was $5.2 million. As these assets were held and used until their disposal, we continued depreciation over their remaining useful lives. The remaining $2.3 million ($1.3 million net of tax)
impairment is primarily related to the adjustment of idle equipment to their fair value based on estimated future cash flows from these assets in accordance with SFAS 144.



We recorded an impairment of long-lived assets of $12.6 million ($7.5 million net of tax) during fiscal year 2003. This primarily consisted
of a $10.4 million ($6.4 million net of tax) write-down of certain definite-lived intangible assets, which were tested for impairment following the sale of our Wireless Networking product group. Specifically, we impaired a portion of its customer
base and developed technology balances that resulted from the purchase of the net assets of Harris Corporations semiconductor business. The impairments were measured as the excess of the assets carrying value over the assets fair value
as determined by the present value of cash flows arising from the assets in accordance with SFAS 144. Also included in the aforementioned $12.6 million impairment was a $2.0 million impairment ($1.2 million after tax) related to the write-off of a
prepaid royalty for which we were not going to incorporate the related technology into our products. In accordance with SFAS 144, the write-off reduced the value of the prepaid to zero as we did not expect to realize any future benefit from the
asset.



Gain (Loss) on Investments



During fiscal year 2002, we recorded a gain of $1.3 million ($0.8 million after tax) from
the sale of our investment in PowerSmart, Inc. The gain was calculated as the excess of the proceeds from disposition of the investment over its carrying value.



During fiscal year 2003, we recorded an impairment charge of $13.0 million related to an investment, which is accounted for under the cost method of accounting since
we hold less than 20% ownership and can not exercise influence over the investee. The impairment reflects the excess of the investments carrying value over the estimated undiscounted cash flows resulting from the eventual disposal of the
securities. The impairment was a result of a significant reorganization at the investee, which we believe, substantially eliminated their chances of making a profit in the future.



During fiscal year 2003, we recognized a $7.2 million gain ($4.7 million after tax) from the sale of all shares of GlobespanVirata common
stock received as part of the sale (15,462,185 shares). The gain was calculated as the net proceeds from the sale less the carrying value of the stock, which was determined as the fair market value during the five-day period including the date of
the transaction and the two days preceding and succeeding this date. The GlobespanVirata common stock represented a portion of the consideration paid to us by GlobespanVirata in connection with the sale of our Wireless Networking product group.



During fiscal year 2003, we recorded a gain of $0.6 million ($0.4 million
after tax) from the collection of previously escrowed funds resulting from the sale of our investment in PowerSmart, Inc. in June 2002. The entire escrow receipt was recorded as a gain as the investment had no carrying value.



Marketable securities consist of shares of ChipPAC, Inc. (ChipPAC) common stock
that have been classified as investments on the balance sheet. They are recorded at fair value, which is determined based on quoted market prices. As of January 2, 2004 we carried an unrealized gain on the investment of $1.7 million, before taxes.
We held 998,816 shares, or approximately 1% of total ChipPAC shares outstanding, at January 2, 2004.



In-Process Research and Development



In
connection with our merger with Elantec in May 2002, we allocated $53.8 million of the purchase price to in-process research and development projects. This allocation represents the estimated fair value based on risk-adjusted cash flows related to
the incomplete projects. At the date of the merger, the development of these projects had not yet reached technological feasibility and the in-process research and development had no alternative future uses and did not otherwise qualify for
capitalization. Accordingly, these costs were expensed as a charge to income in fiscal year 2002.

##### Table of Contents

In making the purchase price allocation, our management relied on present value calculations of income, an analysis of
project accomplishments and completion costs and an assessment of overall contribution and project risk. The present value was determined by discounting 2 to 8 years of after tax cash flow projections depending on the individual project. We used a
discount rate of 13% based on an approximation of the cost of capital. The percentage of completion for the projects ranges from 10% to 90%, and the total cost to complete all projects at the time of the acquisition was approximately $38.4 million.
The various project groupings, the cost to complete the projects and the average percentage complete within each grouping as of January 2, 2004 are set forth in the table below ($ in millions):

Although these estimates were
developed with the assistance of an independent third party, management is primarily responsible for the valuation. These estimates are subject to change given the uncertainties of the development process, and no assurance can be given that
deviations from these estimates will not occur. We expect to continue these development efforts and believe we have a reasonable chance of successfully completing the research and development programs. 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.



Interest Income/Expense



Interest income decreased to $9.6 million during fiscal year 2003 from $12.1 million during fiscal year 2002. The decrease was due to a decrease in short-term interest rates during fiscal years 2002 and 2003. This was
partially offset by our investments in long-term held-to-maturity investments. Interest expense also decreased to $0.6 million from $0.8 million for same time periods.



Tax Expense



The tax rate for fiscal year 2003 of 26% differs from the tax expense for fiscal year 2002 of (20)% due primarily to the write off of in-process research and development
resulting from the Elantec acquisition during the second quarter of 2002. This difference in rates can also be attributed to higher research and development credits, increased sales in lower tax jurisdictions and a shift from taxable to tax-exempt
investments during 2003.



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 may be 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 recognize potential liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the
United States and other tax jurisdictions based on an estimate of the ultimate resolution of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. Although we believe the 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.



Backlog



Our sales are made pursuant to cancelable purchase orders that are generally booked from one to six months in advance of delivery. Backlog
is influenced by several factors, including market demand, pricing and customer order patterns in reaction to product lead times. We had backlog at January 2, 2004 of $83.6 million compared to $98.1 million at January 3, 2003. The backlog as of
January 3, 2003 excludes $33.2 million related to the Wireless Networking product group. Although not always the case, backlog can be a leading indicator of performance for the next two quarters.

Revenue



Revenue from continuing operations for fiscal year 2002 increased 5.3% to $419.6 million
from $398.5 million during fiscal year 2001. The acquisition of Elantec during the second quarter of 2002 contributed $63.7 million to the increase in sales year over year. Also, our Power Management product group grew $34.0 million due to increased
demand in Desktop computer products. The exits of our Discrete Power and Automotive product groups offset revenue increases by $36.1 million. We also experienced a decline in revenue of approximately $25.8 million due to an economic downturn in the
communication end market. In addition, our change in revenue recognition decreased revenue by $14.7 million.



Geographically, 48.9%, 31.1% and 20.1% of product sales were derived in Asia/Pacific, North America and Europe, respectively, during fiscal year 2002 compared to 37.0%, 38.3% and 24.7% during fiscal year 2001. This
change is the result of increased demand from Asian-based customers and increased customer use of Asian-based contract manufacturers. Also, the acquisition of Elantec contributed to the increase in this region as that product groups sales are
generated primarily from shipments to Japan. These shifts are not expected to change the demand or return characteristics for our products.

Gross Profit



In fiscal year 2002, gross profit on product sales increased 21.4% or $38.7 million to $219.4 million from $180.7 million in the fiscal year
2001. As a percentage of sales, gross margin was 52.3% during fiscal year 2002 compared to 45.3% during the fiscal year 2001, a 7.0 percentage point improvement. The acquisition of Elantec, which increased our mix of higher margin products, improved
gross profit by $35.9 million. In addition, we closed our Findlay fabrication facility in fiscal year 2002, which had approximately a $10.5 million improvement on gross profit. We also had an unusual inventory charge of $7.5 million related to our
closure of the Findlay facility in 2001, which was not repeated in 2002. These improvements were primarily offset by a $10.2 million decline as a result of our change in revenue recognition for North American distributors and a $7.2 million decline
as a result of our settlement with Proxim Inc. regarding a patent dispute.



Research and Development (R&D)



R&D expenses increased 16.8% to $77.9 million during fiscal year 2002 from $66.7 million during the fiscal year 2001. As a percentage of sales, R&D expenses increased to 18.6% for fiscal year 2002 from 16.7% for fiscal year 2001.
The acquisition of Elantec contributed approximately $13.7 million to the overall increase as well as increased spending in for our Power Management product development.



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



SG&A costs increased to $89.6 million during fiscal year 2002 from $75.1 million during
the fiscal year 2001. As a percentage of sales, SG&A costs increased to 21.4% for 2002 from 18.8% for the fiscal year 2001. The acquisition of Elantec was again the primary driver for this increase with approximately $10.4 million of SG&A
expenses during 2002.



Amortization



Amortization of intangible assets decreased to $6.8 million for fiscal year
2002 from $7.4 million for the same time period in fiscal year 2001.



Unearned Compensation



Amortization of
unearned compensation was $14.5 million during fiscal year 2002. This was a result of the acquisition of Elantec and is the intrinsic value of unvested Elantec options outstanding at the time of the merger. The intrinsic value of each option was
calculated as the excess of the fair market value of one share of our Class A common stock as determined using the average closing sales price of our Class A common stock on May 13, 2002 and May 14, 2002 of $28.41 over the option price. The unearned
compensation costs are recognized over the remaining vesting period of the options as an operating expense.



Impairment of Long-lived Assets



In connection with the closure of our Findlay, Ohio manufacturing operation, we recorded an impairment of $7.6 million ($3.7 million after tax) on the property, plant and
equipment during the fiscal year 2001. The impairment was determined by comparing the carrying value of the assets to an appraised value on the land, equipment and buildings and the expected future undiscounted net cash flows from the equipment to
be disposed in accordance with SFAS 121.



During fiscal year 2002, we recorded
two impairments totaling $5.9 million. The first impairment of $3.6 million ($2.3 million net of tax) related to the property, plant and equipment within the Findlay, Ohio manufacturing facility. The write-down reduced the carrying value of the
assets to their fair value, which was based on the contractual sales price of the assets. Prior to this impairment, the carrying value of the Findlay assets was $5.2 million. As these assets were held and used until their disposal, we continued
depreciation over their remaining useful lives. The remaining $2.3 million ($1.3 million net of tax) impairment is primarily related to the adjustment of idle equipment to their fair value based on estimated future cash flows from these assets.



Interest Income/Expense



Interest income decreased to $12.1 million during fiscal year 2002 from $20.9 million during
the fiscal year 2001. The decrease was due to a decrease in short-term interest rates during fiscal years 2001 and 2002. Interest expense also decreased to $0.8 million in fiscal year 2002 from $2.3 million in fiscal year 2001. This decrease was due
to the elimination of our long-term debt during the first quarter of fiscal year 2001.



Gain (Loss) on Investments



Marketable securities consist of shares of ChipPAC common stock that have been classified as other long-term investments. They are recorded at fair value, which is
determined based on quoted market prices. During fiscal year 2001, we recorded an impairment charge of $8.2 million related to our investment in ChipPAC common stock, which reflected an other than temporary decline in value. In arriving at this
decision, we considered various factors, including the fact that ChipPACs stock price was less than its carrying value during two consecutive quarters. We also considered the overall macroeconomic condition of the semiconductor industry at the
time.

##### Table of Contents

During fiscal year 2002, we recorded a gain of $1.3 million ($0.8 million after tax) from the sale of our investment in
PowerSmart, Inc. The gain was calculated as the excess of the proceeds from disposition of the investment over its carrying value.



Loss on Extinguishment of Debt



During fiscal year 2001, we repurchased all $61.4 million of our outstanding 13.25% Senior Subordinated Notes in the open market. These repayments included certain
pre-payment penalties and accrued interest. In connection with the early extinguishment of debt, we recorded a $19.7 million charge ($12.2 million net of tax). The charges consisted of the write-off of deferred financing fees and premiums paid on
repurchase.



Gain on Sale of Certain
Operations



On March 16, 2001, we sold the assets of its Discrete Power
product group to Fairchild for $338.0 million in cash and the assumption by Fairchild of certain liabilities of the product group. As a result of the sale, we recognized a gain of $168.4 million ($81.8 million after tax), which was net of the assets
purchased and liabilities assumed by Fairchild, transaction fees and other exit costs associated with the sale. The exit costs include employee termination benefits to be incurred within one year from the sale date as well as information technology
costs required to cover transferred software license fees and system modifications necessary to support the business transition activity. We also closed three foreign sales offices as a result of the sale. Also, included in the calculation of the
gain was the write-off of $14.8 million of intangible assets that were related to our formation from the assets of Harris Corporations Semiconductor Business in August 1999. The assets represent the developed technology, customer base and
assembled workforce for the Discrete Power product group, which were derived from the original valuation completed at the time of the acquisition.



Tax Expense



The tax rate of 40% for fiscal year 2001 differs from the tax rate for fiscal year 2002 of (20)% primarily due to the gain generated from the sale of our Discrete Power
products group recorded during fiscal year 2001 and the write-off of Elantecs in-process R&D in fiscal year 2002.



Backlog



We had backlog at January 3, 2003 of $98.1 million compared to $85.9 million at December 28, 2001. This excludes $33.2 million and $34.9 million related to the Wireless
Networking product group.



Business Outlook



The conditions external to the Company appear to be improving; general economic news has
improved as several companies in the semiconductor industry and within markets that the Company serves have reported upward trends. However, the high-end consumer and computing markets generally experience weak demand in the first fiscal quarter of
each year and stronger demand in the third and fourth quarters.



On January 28,
2004, we announced our outlook for the first quarter of 2004. We expected revenue for the first quarter to be equal to or slightly above the revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003 despite the normal decline in shipments in the first
quarter due to seasonality in the computing and high-end consumer markets. We also expected cost of product sales, research and development and selling, general and administrative costs to generally trend in the same direction as revenue. We
expected intangible amortization expense to be $1.2 million and amortization of unearned compensation to be $1.6 million. We expect our effective tax rate to be approximately 26%28% for fiscal year 2004. We expect to finalize the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) audits for calendar years 1999 and 2000 by the end of the first quarter of 2004. This could have a material positive impact on our tax provision and operating results for fiscal year 2004.



Restructurings



March 2001



In March 2001, our Board of Directors approved and we announced major restructuring activities to improve ongoing operations and product gross margins. This restructuring
plan was predicated on the phased closure of our Findlay, Ohio manufacturing operation and the exit of the modem board assembly manufacturing process in Scottsdale, Arizona. In connection with the restructuring, we recorded expenses of approximately
$22.7 million ($13.9 million after tax) within continuing operations during fiscal year 2001. Costs of the restructuring plan include employee termination costs, costs incurred to decontaminate and defacilitate the fabrication facility and contract
cancellation costs. Employee termination costs include involuntary severance payments and outplacement training. Decontamination and defacilitation costs include costs for removing and disposing of air handlers, exhausts, structural steel, process
cooling loops, gas piping and acid distribution systems used in conjunction with equipment. Other decommission costs include costs to secure equipment remaining on site after closure. Contract cancellation costs include fees charged to us under
non-cancelable purchase orders from three vendors. In connection with the announced restructuring, approximately 522 employees were notified that

their employment would be terminated and were apprised of the specifics of their severance benefits. The affected
positions included manufacturing, selling, general and administrative employees. 521 of the employees were located in the United States and 1 was located in Europe. The sale of the Findlay, Ohio manufacturing operation was completed late in
September 2002, and, accordingly, all of the affected employees had been terminated as of January 2, 2004. No remaining activities exist with respect to the execution of this plan. We estimated that annual savings of cost of product sales would be
approximately $25.0 million to $30.0 million annually. These savings are largely in the form of decreased payroll, healthcare costs, and factory overhead, which is comprised of depreciation, utilities and property taxes. Although determination of
actual savings is difficult to determine because of changes in product mix, technological specifications and product demand, we believe that actual savings have been approximately $21.0 million annually.



June 2002



After the merger with Elantec, we accrued for restructuring activities relating to the consolidation of the combined entitys business
operations. These costs were not included in the purchase price determination and the allocation thereof as they relate to our activities that were conducted prior to the merger. As a result of the restructuring, we recorded a charge of $4.7 million
($2.8 million after tax) in continuing operations during fiscal year 2002. The restructuring plan includes employee termination costs and the elimination of certain sales and marketing activities existing prior to the merger. Employee termination
costs include involuntary severance payments and outplacement training. Costs incurred to eliminate certain sales and marketing activities include lease cancellation costs and costs associated with the termination of sales representative agreements.
As a result of the merger with Elantec, 24 of our employees were notified that their employment would be terminated and were apprised of the specifics of their severance benefits. Affected positions included primarily selling employees, of whom 13
were located in the United States, 7 in Europe and 4 in Asia. As of January 2, 2004, all of the affected employees had been terminated. No remaining activities exist with respect to the execution of this plan. We estimated that annual savings of
selling, general and administrative costs to be approximately $3.0 million, which includes decreased payroll, healthcare costs, sales office lease expenses, and decreased payments to sales representatives. We believe there has not been significant
variances between the expected savings and actual savings.



January 2003



In January 2003, we announced a cost reduction initiative predicated on a
3% reduction in workforce. Due to the implementation of SFAS 146, severance related costs cannot be expensed until incurred. However, the severance agreements under this restructuring plan entitle terminated employees to benefits upon notification
of termination. Accordingly, we expensed $1.3 million ($0.8 million net of tax) in continuing operations during fiscal year 2003. The restructuring plan includes employee termination costs, which include involuntary severance payments and
outplacement training. In connection with the cost reduction initiative, 22 employees were notified that their employment would be terminated and were apprised of the specifics of their severance benefits. The affected positions included
manufacturing, selling, general and administrative employees; all of such employees were located in the United States. As of January 2, 2004, all of the affected employees had been terminated. No remaining activities exist with respect to the
execution of this plan. We estimate that annual savings of cost of product sales are approximately $0.2 million. We also estimate that annual savings of research and development expenses are $0.1 million. Finally, we estimate that annual savings of
selling, general and administrative expenses are $2.1 million. These savings are in the form of decreased payroll and healthcare costs. We believe there have not been significant variances between the planned savings and actual savings. We believe
there have not been significant variances between the planned savings and actual savings.



August 2003



In August 2003, we
announced a restructuring plan that coincided with the sale of our Wireless Networking product group. The restructuring plan includes the termination of approximately 8% of the remaining workforce and the closure of three sales office locations in
the United States and Europe. In accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146 (SFAS 146), Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, a company can only accrue costs related to liabilities
that have been incurred. The terms of the relevant severance benefits stipulate that an employee is entitled to payments if that employee remains employed with us through his or her termination date. Thus during fiscal year 2003, we recorded charges
of $4.1 million for the portion of severance benefits and lease payments that we were obligated to pay as of January 2, 2004. Employee termination costs include involuntary severance payments and the provision of outplacement training. In connection
with the cost reduction initiative, 129 employees were notified that their employment would be terminated and were apprised of the specifics of their severance benefits. The affected positions included manufacturing, research and development, and
selling, general and administrative employees; 119 of such employees were located in the United States, 6 in Europe and 4 in Asia. As of January 2, 2004, 98% of the affected employees had been terminated. The remaining employees will be terminated
within the next 12 months at a cost of $0.1 million. We estimate that annual savings of cost of product sales are approximately $4.2 million. We also estimate that annual savings of research and development expenses are $1.1 million. Finally, we
estimate that annual savings of selling, general and administrative expenses are $2.6 million. These savings are in the form of decreased payroll, healthcare costs and lease expenses. Due to the recent date of this plan, it is difficult to ascertain
if there have been significant variances between the expected savings and actual savings.

Our 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 ($7.8 million), silicon wafers ($0.4 million) as well other miscellaneous expense items. We
utilize standby letters of credit primarily for security for workers compensation ($1.5 million), environmental items ($1.3 million), electricity ($0.7 million) as well as for security for our vendors. These standby letters of credit have annual
renewals.



We have an agreement in place with ChipPAC pursuant to which they
provide us with, among other things, testing and packaging services for fees, subject to certain limits and exceptions, including competitive pricing. The initial term of this agreement expires on June 30, 2005.



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 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 on-line; 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 the
requisite capital expenditures for the expansion or upgrading of worldwide manufacturing capacity, working capital requirements, our dividend program, our treasury share repurchase program and potential future acquisitions or strategic investments.
As of January 2, 2004, our total shareholders equity was $2,252.1 million. Also, we had $819.5 million in cash and short-term securities, as well as $144.5 million in long-term investments held to maturity.



Net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal year 2003 was $71.1 million. This was
primarily due to operating income of $72.4 million. This was offset by our changes in assets and liabilities of $21.8 million including increased inventories (for both our continuing and discontinued operations) offset by timing of income tax
payments. Net cash provided by investing activities for fiscal year 2003 was $147.2 million. We have received $250 million in cash proceeds from the sale our Wireless Networking product group to GlobespanVirata. This was offset by $12.5 million of
transaction costs relating to the sale. We also received $126.7 million in proceeds from the sale of GlobespanVirata and ChipPAC common stock during fiscal year 2003. This was offset by investments in long-term cash investments of $144.5 million to
improve interest yields and $62.5 million in property, plant and equipment to increase our production capacity. We expect our expenditures for property, plant and equipment to be within the $30 million to $40 million range during fiscal year 2004.
Net cash used by financing activities for fiscal year 2003 was $30.5 million resulting from purchase of treasury stock under the stock repurchase plan offset by the proceeds of exercised stock options. We expect to continue this level of share
repurchases for the foreseeable future. Our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance at January 2, 2004 was $819.5 million.



We have a treasury stock repurchase program, which authorizes us to repurchase up to $150.0 million in our common stock, of which $82.1 million had been used as of
January 2, 2004. The program was set to expire on September 26, 2002, but by a vote of the Board of Directors it has been extended through December 2004.



We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. While the we engage 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. We warrant that our products will be free from defects in material workmanship and possess the electrical characteristics to which
we have committed. The warranty period is for one year following shipment. We estimate our warranty reserves based on historical warranty experience. We track returns by type and specifically identify those returns that were based on product
failures and similar occurrences. Our warranty reserve has not changed materially from quarter to quarter. Warranty reserves for the period ended January 2, 2004 and January 3, 2003 were $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

In certain instances when we sell product groups or assets, we 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 for tax are generally aligned to the applicable statute of limitations for the jurisdiction in which the divestiture occurred. The terms for environmental indemnities typically do not expire. All other
indemnifications are from one to two years. The maximum potential future payments that we could be required to make under these indemnifications are either contractually limited to a specified amount or unlimited. We believe that the maximum
potential future payments that we 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.



We generally provide customers with a limited indemnification
against intellectual property infringement claims related to our products. We accrue 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. The accrual and the related expense for known issues were not significant during the periods presented.



We have separately classified on the face of the balance sheet our current held-to-maturity investments, which consist of securities with maturities less than one year
but greater than 90 days. These balances can be converted to cash upon request at a minimal discount. We have reclassified prior period balance sheet and cash flow information to conform with the current classification.



Working Capital



Trade accounts receivable, less the allowance for collection losses, totaled $82.6 million
at January 2, 2004 compared to $93.9 million at January 3, 2003. This decrease was a result of the sale of our Wireless Networking product group, which had over $20 million in receivables at the time of the sale, the majority of which had been
collected by the end of fiscal year 2003. We did not grant any terms to customers during the year ended January 2, 2004, January 3, 2003 or December 28, 2001 other than those granted under the normal course of business.



Inventories increased 37% to $83.6 million at January 2, 2004 from $61.0 million at January
3, 2003. The majority of the increase in inventory is attributable to purchases made in order to build end-of-life inventory for Elantec products in anticipation of moving production operations. We transferred the production of the DSL products from
Milpitas, California to Palm Bay, Florida to reduce costs. In addition, we transferred the production of certain general-purpose products (mostly operational amplifiers) from Agere Semiconductor to Philips Semiconductor (Philips) due to Ageres
announced closure of the fabrication facility. The transfer to Philips will have no significant affect on our cost structure, nor will it have any adverse impact to our cash flow. In addition, we built buffer inventory for our power management
products, which was required by certain customers. Our income taxes payable also increased $57.7 million from $26.3 million driven primarily by income tax provisions relating to the sale of our Wireless Networking group. Trade accounts payable
decreased $14.8 million as we saw reduced purchases from the foundries we used for Wireless Networking product materials as well as decreased expenditures on manufacturing equipment. However, litigation accruals increased $11.9 million from fiscal
year 2002 to fiscal year 2003. This was primarily driven by our lawsuit with Agere.



We perform reviews of our sales reserves on a quarterly basis. We revise the sales reserves quarterly based on changes in Managements estimates of future returns and credits.. The sales reserves increased 14.2% to $9.7 million at
January 2, 2004 from $8.5 million at January 3, 2003. This increase was driven by increased sales volume of 21% over fiscal year 2002 as well as rebates of approximately $0.8 million. As a result of the acquisition of Elantec, a new strategic
direction and changing business conditions, we could no longer estimate returns to domestic distributors. Accordingly, we changed our revenue recognition method to the deferred method for all shipments to domestic distributors.



Capital Expenditures



Capital expenditures were $62.5 million for fiscal year 2003 and $53.0 million for fiscal
year 2002. The increase is due primarily to increased investments in our foundry operations, for which we spent $12.9 million during fiscal year 2003. Additional capital expenditures during fiscal year 2003 includes the expansion of our fabrication
facility in Palm Bay, Florida in order to accommodate the transfer of certain production processes from our Findlay, Ohio and Milpitas, California facilities, as well as general manufacturing capacity increases of $41.2 million, research and
development capital of $5.7 million and information technology equipment of $2.2 million.

Settlement with Proxim



During 2003, we recorded $7.4 million relating to the settlement of our lawsuit with Proxim. The amount recorded at January 3, 2003 included
our eventual $6 million cash payment and an estimate of the liability for the future rebates$1.4 million. This estimate was calculated based on the expected volume over the life the agreement multiplied by the expected rebate per unit. We have
since sold our Wireless Networking product group to GlobespanVirata and assigned the rebate agreement and related liability to GlobespanVirata. Of the $7.4 million, approximately $0.2 million has been reclassified into discontinued operations. This
amount represents the statement of operations impact related to the portion of the liability assigned to GlobespanVirata. The remaining portion was included in cost of product sales as discussed in the earlier discussion of Gross Profit.



Transactions with Related and Certain Other Parties



We hold a receivable balance within the other assets section in our balance sheet resulting
from a loan made to one of our employees who is neither the CFO or CEO. The loan, which totaled $0.5 million at January 3, 2004, was made by Elantec prior to the merger as part of employment offers. The loan is a recourse loan, and the security is
in the form of a second trust deed on the employees real property. The loan earns interest in excess of the Prime Rate. The loan is due on April 18, 2007.



We have a contract in place with ChipPAC in which ChipPAC provides us with testing and packaging services for a fee, subject to certain limits and exceptions. This
commitment expires June 30, 2005. We had $4.3 million and $3.7 million of trade accounts payable to ChipPAC as of January 2, 2004 and January 3, 2003, respectively. All of our obligations under this agreement are paid in cash and are the result of
arms-length transactions. Purchases under this contract during fiscal year 2003 totaled $50.4 million.



Critical Accounting Policies



In
response to the SECs financial reporting release, FR-60, Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies, we have selected 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 five accounting estimation processes discussed below are the allowance for
collection losses on trade receivables, reserves for excess or obsolete inventory, distributor reserves, the assessment of recoverability of goodwill and tax valuation allowances. These estimates involve certain assumptions that if incorrect could
create an adverse impact on our 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.



The allowance for collection losses on trade receivables was $1.1 million on gross trade receivables of $83.7 million at January 2, 2004.
This 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 as of January 2, 2004. Since the amount that we will actually collect on the receivables
outstanding as of January 2, 2004 can not 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 less than 1% of sales. We maintain
an allowance of approximately 1% of a gross trade receivable balance 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 also maintain a
specific allowance for customer accounts that we know may not be collectible due to various reasons, such as 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 reserve a portion or all of the customers balance.



The reserve for excess or obsolete inventory was $21.2 million at January 2, 2004. The reserve for excess or obsolete inventory is used to state our inventories at the
lower of standard cost or market as described in the footnotes to the financial statements. As the ultimate market value that we will recoup through sales on our inventory levels as of January 2, 2004 can not be known with exact certainty as of the
date of this filing, we rely on past sales experience and future sales forecasts. 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 reserve 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 re-classified as obsolete. We reserve
approximately 40% to 50% of the standard cost of the excess inventory. We believe that 40% to 50% 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.



Distributor reserves were $1.2 million at January 2, 2004. Revenue is recognized from sales to all other 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 and rights to periodically exchange a percentage of unsold inventory they hold. Accordingly, distributor reserves are amounts within the liability section of the balance sheet
that estimate the amount of inventory adjustments that



23

##### Table of Contents

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 as of January 2, 2004 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. The international distributor reserves comprise two components that are reasonably estimable. The first component of international distributor reserves is the price protection reserve, which protects the distributors gross
margins in the event of falling prices. This reserve 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. The
second component is a stock rotation reserve, which is based on the percentage of sales made to certain distributors in Europe whereby the distributors can periodically exchange a percentage of older inventories with newer products. Actual price
protection and stock rotation changes have historically been within managements expectations. International distributor reserves are combined with other product sales reserves within the sales reserves line item on the balance sheet. These
include reserves for unearned revenue for payments on last time buy products of $3.8 million, price rebates of $0.8 million, product warranty returns of $1.2 million, accommodation returns (where the customer does not have a contractual right to
return the product) of $2.0 million and other revenue related accruals of $0.7 million.



Effective March 30, 2002, we began to recognize revenue to North American distributors on a sell-through basis. As such, we now recognize sales to North American distributors upon shipment to the end customer. Formerly, we recognized
revenue from North American distributor sales upon shipment to the distributors. The combination of the changes resulting from the integration with Elantec, changes in the distributor mix and changes in market pricing affect the estimability of
customer acceptance of our products.



Pursuant to SFAS 142, we completed an
initial impairment review of our goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives as of December 29, 2001 and found no impairment. According to our accounting policy, we also performed an annual review during the fourth quarter of
2002, and in both reviews we found no impairment. 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 the two-step method for impairment at a
level of reporting referred to as a reporting unit. Our reporting units are the High Performance Analog and Elantec product groups because they are each managed by a general manager and have discrete financial information. The first step of the
goodwill impairment test, the purpose of which is to identify potential impairment, compares 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, 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.



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.
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. These 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 January 2, 2004, our net deferred tax asset
amounted to $49.4 million.



Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46)
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. This interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. Under
current practice, two enterprises generally have been included in consolidated financial statements because one enterprise controls the other through voting interests. This interpretation defines the concept of variable interests and
requires existing unconsolidated variable interest entities to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse the risks among the parties involved. This interpretation applied immediately to variable
interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applied in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest
entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. If it is reasonably possible that an enterprise will consolidate or disclose information about a variable interest entity when this interpretation
becomes effective, the enterprise shall disclose information about those entities in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. The interpretation may be applied prospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date on which
it is first applied or by restating previously issued financial statements for one or more years with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the first year restated. We have completed our assessment of this interpretation and
determined that we are not party to any variable interest entities as of January 2, 2004.



In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145 (SFAS 145), Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections. Under previous guidance, all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt were required to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of

##### Table of Contents

related income tax effect. This Statement eliminates SFAS 4 and thus the extraordinary treatment related to the
extinguishment of debt in most instances. As a result, gains and losses from extinguishment of debt should be classified as extraordinary items only if they meet the criteria in APB Opinion 30. The provisions of this Statement related to the
rescission of Statement 4 shall be applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. Any gain or loss on extinguishment of debt that was classified as an extraordinary item in prior periods presented that does not meet the criteria in APB
Opinion 30 for classification as an extraordinary item shall be reclassified. We adopted the provisions of this standard and have reclassified our loss on the extinguishment of debt for fiscal year 2001 on the face of the Consolidated Statement of
Operations.



In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 146 (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. We adopted the provisions of SFAS 146 for any exit or disposal activities
initiated after December 31, 2002.



In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 149 (SFAS 149), Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133), Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The statement was effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of
operations.



In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 150 (SFAS 150), Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial
instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). This standard was effective at the beginning of
the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic entities that are subject to the provisions of this Statement for the first fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2003.
The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.



Subsequent Events



On January 28, 2004, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.03 per share of common stock. Payment of the dividend was made on February 27, 2004 to shareholders of record as of the close of business
on February 17, 2004.



Amendments to Bylaws



During 2003, we amended our bylaws. Specifically, new provisions were added requiring that
printed notice of the place, date and time of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose, must be delivered a specified period in advance of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of our board of
directors or person calling the meeting, to each stockholder of record. Also, provisions were added requiring that stockholders give advance notice to us when proposing director nominations or other business to be brought before an annual meeting of
shareholders or for director nominations to be brought before a special meeting of shareholders.

5, 1999, we adopted the 1999 Equity Compensation Plan (the Plan), which became effective on August 13, 1999 for salaried officers and key employees. The Plan originally authorized the grant of options for up to 7.5 million shares of our
Class A common stock and can include (i) options intended to constitute incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code, (ii) non-qualified stock options, (iii) restricted stock, (iv) stock appreciation rights, and (v) phantom share awards.
The number of shares authorized for the Plan was increased to 17.5 million shares by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held May 15, 2001.

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.



At January 4, 2004, we had open foreign exchange contracts with a notional amount of $10.9 million, which was to hedge forecasted foreign cash flow commitments up to six
months. As 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. Total net losses on foreign exchange
contracts for the fiscal year 2004 were less than $0.1 million. During the fiscal year 2004, we purchased and sold $89.4 million of foreign exchange forward contracts. The derivatives were also recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value,
which was nominal, at January 2, 2004. The table below summarizes our foreign exchange contract activity over the past two years ($ in millions):

##### Table of Contents

The decrease in the notional amounts of open foreign exchange contracts at year-end is due to the consolidation of
Elantecs hedging process into one corporate program.



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 January 2, 2004 would have an impact of approximately $0.2 million 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Intersil Corporation as of
January 2, 2004 and January 3, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders equity, and cash flows for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2004 and January 3, 2003, and December 28, 2001.
Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedule based on our audits.



We conducted our audits
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 the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.



In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Intersil Corporation at
January 2, 2004 and January 3, 2003 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2004, January 3, 2003 and December 28, 2001, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.



As discussed in Notes A and B to the consolidated financial statements, on December 29, 2001,
the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived
Assets.

INTERSIL CORPORATION



NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE AORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF
PRESENTATION



Organization



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 attractive end markets: high-end consumer, computing, communications and industrial. The Companys
high-end consumer products include its optical storage and video display products, its handheld power management products, and certain standard analog drivers. These products target high growth applications such as DVD recorders for the home market,
liquid crystal display (LCD) televisions, smart phones and digital still cameras. The Companys computing category includes desktop, server and notebook power management, including core power devices and other peripheral
applications, such as graphics, advanced configuration power interface (ACPI) control and double data rate (DDR) memory. The Companys communications group is made up of our line drivers, broadband and hot plug power
management products and high speed converters targeted to applications in markets such as DSL, home gateway, space and VOIP. Communications accounted for 24% of the Companys sales in fiscal year 2003. The Companys industrial products
include its Elantec family of operational amplifiers, bridge driver power management products, interface and analog switches and multiplexers, and other standard analog products. These products target end markets including medical imaging, energy
management and factory automation. Industrial products represented 28% of the Companys fiscal year 2003 sales.



Basis of Presentation



The transactions discussed below significantly affect the comparability of the results of operations between the fiscal periods presented within the Consolidated Financial Statements.



On March 16, 2001, the Company sold the assets of its Discrete Power products group to
Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation (Fairchild). The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 28, 2001 has been reduced by the assets purchased and liabilities assumed by Fairchild.



On May 14, 2002, the Company merged with Elantec Semiconductor, Inc. (Elantec) by
using Intersil Class A common stock and cash to purchase 100% of the outstanding common stock of the Milpitas, California-based company. The merger was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations
of Elantec have been included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements since the merger date.



On August 28, 2003, the Company sold its Wireless Networking product group to GlobespanVirata, Inc. (GlobespanVirata). The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 2, 2004 has been reduced by the assets
purchased and liabilities assumed by GlobespanVirata. Furthermore, the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 3, 2003 has been reclassified to report Wireless Networking assets and liabilities held for sale by the Company at that time.
Additionally, in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS 144), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company has not included the results of
operations of its Wireless Networking product group in the results from continuing operations. The results of operations for this product group have been reflected as discontinued operations in all years presented.



The Companys 2002 fiscal year contains 53 weeks. The 2001 and 2003 fiscal years contain
the standard 52 weeks.



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.



Reclassifications



Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year classifications. This includes reclassifications for
discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS 144), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Certain sales-related liabilities, $5.8 million of
which had been previously classified as other accrued items as of January 3, 2003, have been reclassified into sales reserves. Additionally, certain income tax related liabilities, $1.9 million of which had been previously
classified as trade payables as of January 3, 2003, have been reclassified into income taxes payable. Due to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145 (SFAS 145), Rescission of FASB Statements
No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections, the Company reclassified $19.7 million in charges related to the early extinguishment of debt in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for fiscal year 2001.
Finally, the Company also reclassified the results of operations of and the gain from the disposal of its Discrete Power product group into operating income. This reclassification impacts the revenues, costs and expenses within 2001, while affecting
the gain from disposal of certain operations within 2001 ($168.4 million) and 2003 ($1.4 million).

NOTE BSIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES



Cash EquivalentsCash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid debt securities with insignificant interest rate risk and
maturities of three months or less.



General Investment
Information The Company continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions that are counterparties to its financial instruments, and does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties. The
Company would not realize a material loss as of January 2, 2004 in the event of nonperformance by any one counterparty. The Company enters into transactions only with financial institution counterparties 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 institution. At January 2, 2004, the Company did not require and was not required to collateralize any of its financial instrument obligations.



Interest paid in fiscal year 2001 was $4.4 million. Due to the elimination of all of
outstanding long-term debt in March 2001 (see Note V), the Company has not paid any appreciable amount of interest during fiscal years 2002 and 2003. Interest income includes interest on cash, cash equivalents, and held-to-maturity investments net
of associated bank fees and charges.



Current Held-to-Maturity
InvestmentsInvestments identified as held-to-maturity in the current section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets are income-yielding debt securities with maturities of less than one year but greater than three months that can be
readily converted into cash. Examples of such debt securities include commercial paper, corporate bonds, corporate notes and federal, state, county and municipal government bonds. In accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No.
115 (SFAS 115), Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, these securities are classified as held-to-maturity securities as the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity. Securities in the
held-to-maturity 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. Held-to-maturity
investments with maturities beyond one year are contained in the balance sheet line item Held-to-Maturity Investments within the non-current section. The Companys portfolios of current held-to-maturity investments consisted of the

As of January 3, 2003, the fair market
value of these securities was approximately $80.7 million, thus resulting in an unrecognized loss of $0.1 million. The fair market value of these securities as of January 2, 2004 was $88.6 million; thus the Company had $0.8 million of unrecognized
gains at that time.



Non-current Held-to-Maturity
InvestmentsDuring 2003 the Company began to invest in debt securities with maturities greater than one year. In accordance with SFAS 115, these debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity securities, since the Company
has the positive intent and ability to hold the debt securities until maturity. Securities in this 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. Since the maturities for these debt securities range from 1 to 3 years, such securities are classified in the non-current section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Companys portfolio of non-current held-to-maturity investments included the following as of the end of fiscal
year 2003:

|Total                           |  | $                             | 144.5 |                          |      
|                                |  |                               |       |                          |      



The fair market value of these
securities as of January 2, 2004 was $144.1 million; thus the Company had $0.4 million of unrecognized losses at that time.



Available for SaleInvestmentsIn accordance with the provisions of SFAS 115, investments identified as available-for-sale securities are carried at fair
value as established by readily determinable market prices as of each balance sheet date. The investments of available-for-sale securities are held within the Other Long-term Investments line item in the non-current section of the
Consolidated Balance Sheets. Temporary gains and losses are classified as components of comprehensive income, while other-than-temporary-losses and permanent gains and losses are classified as components of net income (loss).
Other-than-temporary-losses are recognized when either the quoted market price was less than the carrying value for two consecutive quarters or other qualitative indicators of impairment arise.



Available-for-sale securities consist exclusively of shares of ChipPAC, Inc.
(ChipPAC) common stock as of each balance sheet date. On August 8, 2000, ChipPAC completed its initial public offering and Intersils investment in ChipPAC preferred stock was converted to an investment in ChipPAC common stock.
There are no restrictions on the Companys ability to sell this common stock. During fiscal year 2001, the Company realized a loss from an other-than-temporary decline in value of $8.2 million related to its investment in ChipPAC common stock.
In arriving at this decision, management considered various factors including the fact that ChipPACs stock price was less than its carrying value during two consecutive quarters. The Company also considered the overall macroeconomic condition
of the semiconductor industry at the time. Due to changes in the market prices of the ChipPAC common stock, an unrealized loss in the amount of $6.6 million ($3.4 million net of tax benefit) has been charged to other comprehensive loss for fiscal
year 2002, while unrealized gains of $4.0 million ($1.7 million after tax) and $6.3 million ($4.1 million after tax) were included in other comprehensive income for fiscal years 2001 and 2003, respectively. During fiscal year 2003, Intersil sold
approximately one-third of its holdings in ChipPAC for a realized gain of $1.8 million. Proceeds from the sale were $4.5 million. As a result of this sale, we released $0.6 million of unrealized gains from the other comprehensive income (loss) line
item of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying value of these securities was $5.9 million and $7.7 million as of January 3, 2003 and January 2, 2004, respectively. The cumulative amount of unrealized gains (losses) contained within the other
comprehensive income (loss) portion of the equity section was ($1.7) million and $1.8 million at January 3, 2003 and January 2, 2004, respectively. The Company held 998,816 shares, or approximately 1% of total ChipPAC shares outstanding, at January
2, 2004.



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 Long-term Investments 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 offset by losses or gains on the related liabilities and thus have no net impact on earnings. The
Companys portfolios of trading investments included the following securities as of the dates set forth below:

Cost Method InvestmentsAll investments that are not accounted for as held-to-maturity,
available-for-sale 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 and cannot exercise significant influence over the investee. These investments are reviewed at least quarterly for impairment indicators such as bankruptcy or competitive problems.
Impairments are determined using several analytical techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis, investment reviews with product groups and managements evaluation of the Company) Cost method investments are contained in the Other
Long-term Investments line item in the non-current section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company held $13.0 million of such investments at January 3, 2003. The Company held no such investments at January 2, 2004.



Other Financial Instruments and Derivatives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 $3.7 million and $4.0 million at January 3, 2003 and January 2, 2004,
respectively.



The Companys primary objective for holding derivative
financial instruments is to manage currency, interest rate, and some equity market risks. 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 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 product sales. Premiums paid for option contracts that are not exercised are written off at the time of expiration. Gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts are included within cost of product sales
within the statements of operations.



Intersil uses foreign exchange contracts
to hedge anticipated foreign cash flow commitments up to six months. Total net gains (losses) on foreign exchange contracts were $0.9 million, ($1.0) million and nominal for fiscal year 2001, fiscal year 2002 and fiscal year 2003, respectively.
Realized gains and losses from hedges are classified in the statements of operations consistent with the accounting treatment of the items being hedged. Open foreign exchange contracts had fair values of $17.8 million and $10.9 million at January 3,
2003 and January 2, 2004, respectively.



All such contracts are used to hedge
anticipated foreign cash flow commitments. Intersil purchased and sold foreign exchange forward and put option contracts with a notional value of $93.9 million and $89.4 million during fiscal years 2002 and 2003, respectively.



Total open foreign exchange contracts and options at January 3, 2003 and January 2, 2004 are
described in the tables below:

Trade ReceivablesTrade
receivables are recorded at net realizable value or the amount that we expect to collect on our gross customer trade receivables. The Company establishes a reserve of approximately 1% of gross trade receivables in addition to specific reserves 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. Items that are deemed uncollectible are
written off against the allowance for collection losses, the provision for which is made through cost of product sales. Credit limits, ongoing evaluation and trade receivable monitoring procedures are utilized to minimize the risk of credit loss.
Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customers financial condition and collateral is generally not required. Expected losses are provided for currently and actual losses have been within managements expectations. Intersil has
not charged interest on overdue receivables during the time periods presented.



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. Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of cost of product sales in the consolidated statements of operations.



Property, Plant and EquipmentBuildings, machinery and equipment are carried on
the basis of cost, less impairment charges, if any. The estimated useful lives of buildings, which include leasehold improvements, range between 5 and 50 years. The estimated useful lives of machinery and equipment range between 3 and 10 years.
Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method using the estimated useful life of the asset. Depreciation expense from continuing operations was $25.7 million, $25.2 million and $31.5 million for fiscal years 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.
The Company expenses all repairs and maintenance costs that do not extend an assets useful life or increase an assets capacity.



Advertising ExpenseAdvertising costs are expensed in the period incurred. Advertising expense for continuing operations was $5.6 million, $6.5 million and
$6.6 million for fiscal year 2001, fiscal year 2002 and fiscal year 2003, respectively. There are no prepaid advertising costs reflected in any time period presented.



Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized from sales to all customers, except North American distributors, when a product is
shipped, provided that persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, the price is fixed and determinable, title has transferred, collection of resulting receivables is reasonably assured, there are no customer acceptance requirements and there
are no remaining significant obligations. Revenue from the Companys sales to domestic distributors is recognized under agreements which provide for certain pricing credits and limited product return privileges. Prior to March 30, 2002, the
Company recognized revenue to domestic distributors upon shipment to the distributors. The combination of the changes resulting from the merger with Elantec, changes in the distributor mix and changes in market pricing affected the Companys
ability to estimate customer returns and future pricing credits. Given the uncertainties associated with the levels of returns and credits that would be issued to these 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 income
to be derived from distributor sales is recorded under current liabilities on the balance sheet as Deferred margin until such time as the distributor confirms a final sale to its end customer. Deferred sales was $18.1 million and $17.0
million as of January 3, 2003 and January 2, 2004, respectively. Deferred cost of sales was $6.0 million and $4.9 million as of January 3, 2003 and January 2, 2004, respectively. Deferred sales, net of deferred cost of sales, on North American
distributor sales at January 3, 2003 and January 2, 2004 was $12.1 million and $12.1 million, respectively.



The impact of change in revenue recognition for domestic distributors resulted in a reduction in net income and diluted earnings per share of $6.6 million and $0.05, respectively during fiscal year 2002. This change
did not have a material impact on the results of operations subsequent to the adoption as the recognition of previously deferred revenue offset the additional deferrals.



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 defers a portion of
international distributor sales and profits based on these estimated returns. The international distributor reserves comprise two components that are reasonably estimable. The first component of international distributor reserves is the price
protection reserve, which protects the

##### Table of Contents

distributors gross margins in the event of falling prices. This reserve 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. The second component is a stock rotation reserve, 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. Actual price protection and stock rotation changes have historically been within managements expectations.



Sales are also reduced based on an analysis of historical returns related to
accommodation and warranty related returns. Accommodation returns are comprised of returns requested by customers that do not have contractual rights to return the product. Such amounts are classified in Sales reserves on the
accompanying balance sheet. We believe that Management can make reasonable and reliable estimates of future returns and price protections, other than those for the domestic distributors, because these sales reductions are relatively small and
predictable.



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.



Loss Contingencies  Intersil estimates and accrues loss contingencies at the point that the losses become probable. For litigations, Intersil includes an
estimate of legal costs.



Retirement BenefitsIntersil provides
retirement benefits to substantially all employees primarily through a retirement plan to which both the Company and its employees contribute. Contributions by Intersil to the retirement plan are based on profits of the Company and a dollar for
dollar match of employees contributions up to a certain predetermined percentage. Intersil may make additional contributions to the fund at its discretion.



The savings element of the retirement plan is a defined contribution plan, which is qualified under Internal Revenue Service Code Section
401(k). All employees of the Company may elect to participate in the 401(k) retirement plan (401(k) plan). Under the 401(k) plan, participating employees may defer a portion of their pretax earnings up to certain limits prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service. The Company provides matching contributions under the provisions of the plan. 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. Intersil accrues the estimated cost of these medical benefits during an employees active service life. Expenses related to this plan were $0.5 million, $0.7 million and $1.9 million during fiscal year
2001, fiscal year 2002 and fiscal year 2003, respectively. The accrued liability related to the unfunded limited healthcare plan was $3.1 million and $0.8 million at January 3, 2003 and January 2, 2004, respectively. During fiscal year 2003, the
Company approved a change to the retirement benefit plan whereby benefits will be phased out by 2008. This resulted in the decrease in the accrued liability during fiscal year 2003.



Retirement plans expense from continuing operations was $7.0 million for fiscal year 2001, $7.3 million for fiscal year 2002 and $6.0
million for fiscal year 2003.



Stock-Based CompensationThe Company
accounts for its stock based award plans in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and FASB Interpretation No. 44 Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensation. Compensation expense is recorded on the date of the grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. No such compensation expense has been recorded to date. Had compensation cost for the
Companys stock option plan been determined consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company would have reported net income of $20.7
million for fiscal year 2001, a net loss of $48.1 million for fiscal year 2002 and a net loss of $13.4 million for fiscal year 2003.



The following table reconciles net income (loss) as previously reported to the net income (loss) that would have been reported had compensation cost for the
Companys stock option plan been determined consistent with SFAS 123:

Income TaxesIntersil
follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes. 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.



Asset ImpairmentIntersil accounts for long-lived asset impairments under SFAS 144. Consistent with prior guidance, 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. Assets to be sold are stated at the lower of the assets carrying amount or fair value and depreciation is no longer recognized. Prior to SFAS 144s adoption on December 29, 2001, Intersil accounted for
impairments under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (SFAS 121), Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of.



IntangiblesIn June 2001 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which the Company adopted on December 29, 2001. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized but
are subject to annual impairment tests. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives and evaluated for impairment under SFAS 144 when indicators are present.



As required by SFAS 142, the Company ceased amortizing goodwill and other indefinite lived
intangible assets beginning December 29, 2001. Included in the above is assembled workforce, which under SFAS 142, is defined as an indefinite lived asset. Any additional indefinite lived assets recorded as a result of future purchase transactions
will not be amortized but will be subject to the annual impairment tests set forth in SFAS 142.



Pursuant to SFAS 142, the Company completed an initial impairment review of its goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives as of December 29, 2001 and found no impairment. Beginning in 2002, the
Company performs an annual impairment review during the fourth quarter of each year or more frequently if the Company believes indicators of impairment exist.



Goodwill is tested under the two-step approach for impairment at a level of reporting referred to as a reporting unit. The Company has one segment with two reporting
units. The Companys reporting units are the High Performance Analog and the Elantec product groups as they are each managed by a general manager.



The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares 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.



The second step of the goodwill impairment test, used to measure the amount of impairment loss, compares 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.

Foreign Currency
TranslationThe functional currency for Intersils international subsidiaries is predominately the local currency. 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. Aggregate cumulative translation gains\(losses) were $(2.0) million, $(1.4) million and $0.6
million at December 28, 2001, January 3, 2003 and January 2, 2004, respectively.



Income (Loss) Per ShareIncome (loss) per share is computed and presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128), Earnings per Share and the Securities and
Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98.



Use of
EstimatesThe 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.



RestructuringEffective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 146 (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.

Definite lived intangible assets are
amortized over their useful lives, which are 9 to 11 years for developed technology and 7 years for customer base. Amortization expense on intangible assets from continuing operations was $7.4 million, $6.8 million and $6.3 million for fiscal year
2001, fiscal year 2002, and fiscal year 2003, respectively. Expected amortization expense for each of the next five years is $4.7 million per year.

During fiscal year 2002, the Company
recorded a gain of $1.3 million ($0.8 million after tax) from the sale of its investment in PowerSmart, Inc. The gain was calculated as the excess of the proceeds from disposition of the investment over its carrying value.



During fiscal year 2003, the Company recorded a write down of $13.0 million related to an
investment, which is accounted for under the cost method of accounting as the Company holds less than 20% ownership and can not exercise significant influence over the investee. The impairment reflects the excess of the investments carrying
value over the estimated undiscounted cash flows resulting from the eventual disposal of the securities. The investment was impaired in the third quarter of 2003. The primary reason for the impairment was an abrupt corporate reorganization, which
included a 40% reduction in headcount. Although there had been a prior reduction in the second quarter to reduce spending, this reduction directly impacted key management, design engineers and marketing personnel, which were key contributors to the
investments future. In addition, the investment abandoned the market for the gigahertz platforms deciding instead to focus on megahertz platforms. We believed that this would eliminate a large portion of the investments projected revenue
and make bankruptcy a very likely possibility.



During fiscal year 2003, the
Company recorded a gain of $0.6 million ($0.4 million after tax) from the release of previously escrowed funds resulting from the sale of its investment in PowerSmart, Inc. in June 2002. The entire escrow receipt was recorded as a gain as the
investment had no carrying value.



During fiscal year 2003, the Company
recognized a $7.2 million gain ($4.7 million after tax) from the sale of 15,462,185 shares of GlobespanVirata common stock. The gain was calculated as the net proceeds from the sale less the carrying value of the stock, which was determined as the
fair market value during the five day period including the date of the transaction and the two day preceding and succeeding this date. The GlobespanVirata common stock represented a portion of the consideration paid by GlobespanVirata to the Company
for its Wireless Networking product group (see Note S). The GlobespanVirata common stock was categorized as available-for-sale. Since it was received and sold within one quarter, no unrealized gains or losses were recorded.



NOTE HSALE OF DISCRETE POWER PRODUCT GROUP



On March 16, 2001, the Company sold the assets of its Discrete Power product group to
Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. (Fairchild) for $338.0 million in cash and the assumption by Fairchild of certain liabilities of the product group. As a result of the sale, the Company recognized a gain of $168.4 million
($81.8 million after tax), which was net of the assets purchased and liabilities assumed by Fairchild, transaction fees and other exit costs associated with the sale. The exit costs included employee termination benefits to be incurred within one
year from the sale date as well as information technology costs required to transfer software license fees and to create system modifications necessary to support the business transition activity. Intersil also closed three foreign sales offices as
a result of the sale. Also, included within the calculation of the gain was the write-off of $14.8 million of intangible assets that were related to the formation of the Company from the assets of Harris Corporations Semiconductor Business in
August of 1999.

##### Table of Contents

The assets represent the developed technology, customer base and assembled workforce for the Discrete Power product
group, which were derived from the original valuation completed at the time of the acquisition.



At the date of the sale, Fairchild made offers of employment to a portion of the Intersil employees who supported the Discrete Power products group. Approximately 207 employees who were not offered jobs with Fairchild
or who did not accept an employment offer were notified that their employment would be terminated and of the specifics of their severance benefits. Those positions included manufacturing, selling and general and administrative employees; 165 of the
employees were located in the United States, 37 in Europe and 5 in Asia. As of January 2, 2004, all of the affected employees have been terminated. During fiscal year 2003, the Company recorded an additional $1.4 million ($0.9 million after tax)

On May
14, 2002, following receipt of approval of the shareholders of Intersil and Elantec, Intersil merged with Elantec by using Intersil Class A common stock, stock options and cash to purchase 100% of the outstanding common stock of the Milpitas,
California-based company. The merger was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of Elantec have been included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements since the merger date.



Pursuant to the merger, each outstanding share of Elantec common stock was
converted into 1.24 shares of Intersil Class A common stock and $8.00 cash, without interest. The source of funds for the cash portion of the purchase price was working capital. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Intersil issued 29,587,331
shares of its Class A common stock for 100% of Elantecs outstanding common stock. The estimated value of Intersils Class A common stock was $32.42 per share based on the average closing price of Intersils Class A common stock
during the five-day period including March 11, 2002 (the first trading day following the announcement of the signing of the merger agreement) and the two trading days preceding and succeeding this date.



The Company also reserved 8,969,763 shares of its Class A common stock in exchange for
Elantecs outstanding stock options. Each outstanding option to purchase shares of Elantec common stock was converted into an option to purchase shares of the Companys Class A common stock using an exchange ratio of 1.54, which is equal
to 1.24 plus the quotient of $8.00 divided by the closing sales price of Intersil Class A common stock as reported on the NASDAQ National Market on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the merger of $26.60. The Company estimated the
fair value of each option as of the merger date using the Black-Scholes pricing model.



As a result of the merger, the Company incurred transaction related fees of $21.1 million. The Company also incurred costs of $7.7 million relating to efforts undertaken to exit certain activities deployed by Elantec (see Note J).
Additionally, $34.3 million of the purchase price was allocated to future periods in the form of unearned compensation, which resulted from the intrinsic value of the aforementioned options. The intrinsic value of each option was calculated as the
excess of the fair market value of one share of Intersil Class A common stock as determined using the average closing sales price of Intersil Class A common stock on May 13, 2002 and May 14, 2002 of $28.41 over the option price. The unearned
compensation costs will be recognized over the remaining vesting period of the options as an operating expense. The table below summarizes the components of the purchase price ($ in millions):

Management performed an allocation of
the total purchase price of Elantec to certain of its individual assets and liabilities. In-process research and development projects, tangible assets and specific intangible assets were identified and valued. The residual purchase price of $1,056.2
million has been recorded as goodwill. In accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill will be carried at cost and tested for impairment annually and whenever events indicate that impairment may have occurred. Goodwill is not amortized under SFAS 142. The
goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The final purchase price allocation is as follows ($ in millions):

##### Table of Contents

The total amount of goodwill recorded as part of the original purchase accounting was reduced by approximately $8.7
million dollars for the income tax benefit recognized upon the exercise of Intersil options issued to holders of vested Elantec options on the date of the merger. The appraisal of the acquired Elantec business identified $53.8 million of purchased
in-process research and development, which was related to various products under development. The technology had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no future alternative uses. Accordingly, it was written off at the time of
acquisition. The remaining intangible balance, which consists of developed technology, will be amortized over its estimated useful life of nine years.



In valuing the in-process research and development, the Company relied on present value calculations of income, an analysis of project accomplishments and completion
costs and an assessment of overall contribution and project risk. The present value was determined by discounting 2 to 8 years of after tax cash flow projections depending on the individual project. The Company used a discount rate of 13% based on
an approximation of the cost of capital. The percentage of completion for the projects ranges from 10% to 90%, and the total cost to complete all projects at the time of the acquisition was approximately $38.4 million. The various project groupings,
the cost to complete the projects and the average percentage complete within each grouping as of January 2, 2004 are reported below ($ in millions):

Although these estimates were
developed with the assistance of an independent third party, management is primarily responsible for the valuation. These estimates are subject to change given the uncertainties of the development process, and no assurance can be given that
deviations from these estimates will not occur. The Company expects to continue these development efforts and believe we have a reasonable chance of successfully completing the research and development programs. 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.

NOTE JRESTRUCTURING COSTS RELATED TO THE EXIT OF ELANTECS ACTIVITIES



Included in the purchase price of the Elantec merger (see Note I) are $7.7 million in accrued costs arising out of the Companys plan
to exit certain activities deployed by Elantec. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-3, Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination, these costs were considered in the purchase
price allocation of the Elantec merger. This restructuring plan includes employee termination costs, costs incurred in the exit of Elantecs fabrication facility in Milpitas, California and the elimination of certain Elantec sales and marketing
activities. Employee termination costs include involuntary severance payments and outplacement training. Costs to exit the fabrication facility include lease payments on vacated facilities and decommissioning costs required to exit the facility.
Decommissioning costs include items such as costs for removing and disposing of air handlers, exhausts, structural steel, process cooling loops, gas piping and acid distribution systems used in conjunction with the Companys equipment. Costs
incurred to eliminate certain sales and marketing activities include costs to eliminate Elantec-specific web sites and to terminate duplicated software contracts and leases for certain sales offices. The restructuring plan was formalized in May
2002, and is currently funded from working capital in accordance with the plan. As a result of the merger, 106 Elantec employees were notified that their employment would be terminated and were apprised of the specifics of their severance benefits.
As of January 2, 2004 approximately 92% of the affected employees had been terminated. The remaining employees will be terminated over the next three months. The affected sales offices and fabrication facility have been closed. Of the $7.7 million
in restructuring costs within this plan, $0.6 million was recorded in fiscal year 2003 as an adjustment to the severance benefits paid to employees. This adjustment was considered as a purchase price adjustment in determining goodwill.



Savings from this restructuring will be realized as each of the specific actions are
completed in the form of reduced employee expenses, lower depreciation expense and lower operating costs. Specifically, the Company estimates that annual savings of cost of product sales to be approximately $10.1 million, which primarily includes
decreased payroll, healthcare costs and depreciation on fixed assets. The Company also estimates that annual savings of selling, general and administrative costs to be approximately $5.1 million, which includes decreased payroll, healthcare costs,
sales office lease expenses, advertising expenses and software license expenses. Below is a summary of the restructuring costs and the remaining accrual ($ in millions):

NOTE KOTHER RESTRUCTURING



This note serves to outline each of the Companys restructuring
plans as authorized by the Board of Directors. Each plan is discussed individually, and the relevant financial implications are summarized in the tables following each discussion. In the tables, amounts identified as additions represent
accruals recorded via the income statement, while amounts identified as utilizations represent cash expenditures reducing such accruals.

##### Table of Contents

March 2001



In March 2001, the Board of Directors approved and the Company announced major restructuring activities to improve ongoing operations and product gross margins. This
restructuring plan was predicated on the phased closure of the Companys Findlay, Ohio manufacturing operation and the exit of the modem board assembly manufacturing process in Scottsdale, Arizona. In connection with the restructuring, the
Company recorded expenses of approximately $22.7 million ($13.9 million after tax) within continuing operations during fiscal year 2001. Costs of the restructuring plan include employee termination costs, costs incurred to decontaminate and
defacilitate the fabrication facility and contract cancellation costs. Employee termination costs include involuntary severance payments and outplacement training. Decontamination and defacilitation costs include costs for removing and disposing of
air handlers, exhausts, structural steel, process cooling loops, gas piping and acid distribution systems used in conjunction with equipment. Other decommission costs include costs to secure equipment remaining on site after closure. Contract
cancellation costs include fees charged to Intersil under non-cancelable purchase orders from three vendors. In connection with the announced restructuring, approximately 522 employees were notified that their employment would be terminated and were
apprised of the specifics of their severance benefits. The affected positions included manufacturing, selling, general and administrative employees. 521 of the employees were located in the United States and 1 was located in Europe. The sale of the
Findlay, Ohio manufacturing operation was completed late in September 2002, and, accordingly, all of the affected employees had been terminated as of January 2, 2004. No remaining activities exist with respect to the execution of this plan.



Savings from the restructuring will be realized when each of the specific
actions are completed. Specifically, the Company estimated that annual savings of cost of product sales would be approximately $25.0 million to $30.0 million annually. These savings are largely in the form of decreased payroll, healthcare costs, and
factory overhead, which is comprised of depreciation, utilities and property taxes. Although determination of actual savings is difficult to determine because of changes in product mix, technological specifications and product demand, the Company
believes that actual savings have been approximately $21.0 million annually. A summary of the restructuring charges and the remaining accrual is depicted in the following table ($ in millions):

June 2002



After the merger with Elantec, the Company accrued for restructuring activities relating to
the consolidation of the combined entitys business operations. These costs were not included in the purchase price determination and the allocation thereof as they relate to the Companys activities that were conducted prior to the
merger. As a result of the restructuring, the Company recorded a charge of $4.7 million ($2.8 million after tax) in continuing operations during fiscal year 2002. The restructuring plan includes employee termination costs and the elimination of
certain sales and marketing activities existing prior to the merger. Employee termination costs include involuntary severance payments and outplacement training. Costs incurred to eliminate certain sales and marketing activities include lease
cancellation costs and costs associated with the termination of sales representative agreements. As a result of the merger with Elantec, 24 Intersil employees were notified that their employment would be terminated and were apprised of the specifics
of their severance benefits. Affected positions included primarily selling employees, of whom 13 were located in the United States, 7 in Europe and 4 in Asia. As of January 2, 2004, all of the affected employees had been terminated. No remaining
activities exist with respect to the execution of this plan.

Savings from the restructuring will be realized as each of the specific actions are completed in the form of reduced
employee expenses, lower depreciation expense and lower operating costs. Specifically, the Company estimates that annual savings of selling, general and administrative costs to be approximately $3.0 million, which includes decreased payroll,
healthcare costs, sales office lease expenses, and decreased payments to sales representatives. The Company believes there has not been significant variances between the expected savings and actual savings. A summary of the restructuring costs and

January 2003



In January 2003, the Company announced a cost reduction initiative predicated on a 3%
reduction in workforce. Due to the adoption of SFAS 146, severance related costs are expensed when incurred rather than when they are announced as a part of a restructuring plan. However, the severance agreements under this restructuring plan
entitle terminated employees to benefits upon notification of termination. Accordingly, the Company expensed $1.3 million ($0.8 million net of tax) in continuing operations during fiscal year 2003. The restructuring plan includes employee
termination costs, which include involuntary severance payments and outplacement training. In connection with the cost reduction initiative, 22 employees were notified that their employment would be terminated and were apprised of the specifics of
their severance benefits. The affected positions included manufacturing, selling, general and administrative employees; all of such employees were located in the United States. As of January 2, 2004, 100% of the affected employees had been
terminated. No remaining activities exist with respect to the execution of this plan.



Savings from the restructuring will be realized as each of the specific actions are completed in the form of reduced employee expenses and lower operating costs. Specifically, the Company estimates that annual savings of cost of product
sales are approximately $0.2 million. The Company also estimates that annual savings of research and development expenses are $0.1 million. Finally, the Company estimates that annual savings of selling, general and administrative expenses are $2.1
million. These savings are in the form of decreased payroll and healthcare costs. The Company believes there have not been significant variances between the planned savings and actual savings. A summary of the restructuring charges and the remaining
accrual is depicted in the following table ($ in millions):

August 2003



In August 2003, the Company announced a restructuring plan that coincided with the sale of the Wireless Networking product group. The restructuring plan includes the
termination of approximately 8% of the remaining workforce and the closure of three sales office locations in the United States and Europe. In accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146 (SFAS 146),
Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, a company accrues costs related to liabilities as they are incurred. The terms of the relevant severance benefits stipulate that an employee is entitled to payments if
that employee remains employed with the Company through his or her termination date. Thus during fiscal year 2003, the Company recorded charges of $4.1 million for the portion of severance benefits and lease payments that it was obligated to pay as
of January 2, 2004. Employee termination costs include involuntary severance payments and outplacement training provided. In connection with the cost reduction initiative, 129 employees were notified that their employment would be terminated and
were apprised of the specifics of their severance benefits. The affected positions included manufacturing, research and development, and selling, general and administrative employees; 119 of such employees were located in the United States, 6 in
Europe and 4 in Asia. As of January 2, 2004, 98% of the affected employees had been terminated. The remaining employees will be terminated within the next 12 months at a cost of $0.1 million.



Savings from the restructuring will be realized as each of the specific actions are completed
in the form of reduced employee expenses and lower operating costs. Specifically, the Company estimates that annual savings of cost of product sales are approximately $4.2 million. The Company also estimates that annual savings of research and
development expenses are $1.1 million. Finally, the Company estimates that annual savings of selling, general and administrative expenses are $2.6 million. These savings are in the form of decreased payroll, healthcare costs and lease expenses. Due
to the recent date of this plan, it is difficult to ascertain if there have been significant variances between the expected savings and actual savings. The remaining restructuring accrual balance as of January 2, 2004 will be paid over the next six
months. A summary of the restructuring charges and the remaining accrual is depicted in the following table ($ in millions):

NOTE LIMPAIRMENT OF
LONG-LIVED ASSETS



In connection with the closure of the Findlay, Ohio
manufacturing operation, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $7.6 million ($3.7 million after tax) on its property, plant and equipment during fiscal year 2001. The impairment loss was determined by comparing the carrying value of the assets
to an appraised value on the land, equipment and buildings and the expected future undiscounted net cash flows from the equipment to be disposed in accordance with SFAS 121. The Company recorded an additional impairment loss on these assets in
fiscal year 2002 as described below.



During fiscal year 2002, the Company
recorded impairment losses of $5.9 million ($3.6 million net of tax). Of this amount, $3.6 million ($2.3 million net of tax) related to the property, plant and equipment within the Findlay, Ohio manufacturing facility. The write-down reduced the
carrying value of the assets to their fair value, which was based on the contractual sales price of the assets in accordance with SFAS 144. Prior to this impairment, the carrying value of the Findlay assets was $5.2 million. As these assets were
held and used until their disposal, the Company continued depreciation over their remaining useful lives. These assets were sold in September 2002, and the transaction did not result in a gain or loss. The remaining $2.3 million ($1.3 million net of
tax) impairment during fiscal year 2002 is related to the adjustment of idle production assets to their fair value based on estimated future cash flows from the sale of these assets in accordance with SFAS 144. As of January 2, 2004 all but one
asset within this asset group had been sold or scrapped. The Company did not incur significant gains or losses related to the disposal of these assets. Prior to this impairment this idle equipment had a carrying value of $4.9 million.



The Company recorded an impairment of long-lived assets of $12.6 million ($7.5 million net of
tax) during fiscal year 2003. This primarily consisted of a $10.4 million ($6.4 million net of tax) write down of certain definite-lived intangible assets, which were tested for impairment following the sale of the Wireless Networking product group.
Specifically, the Company impaired a portion of its customer base and developed technology balances that resulted from the purchase of the net assets of Harris Corporations semiconductor business. The impairments were measured as the excess of
the assets carrying value over the assets fair value as determined by the present value of cash flows arising from the assets in accordance with SFAS 144. Prior to this impairment these assets had a combined carrying value of $33.2 million.
Also included in the aforementioned $12.6 million impairment was a $2.0 million impairment ($1.2 million after tax) related to the write-off of a prepaid technology royalty for which the Company determined it would not incorporate into its future
products. The write-off reduced the value of the prepaid to zero as the Company does not expect to realize any future benefit from the asset. This treatment is in accordance with SFAS 144.



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

Intersil has a contract in place with ChipPAC in which they provide test and package services subject to certain limits and exceptions. All of the Companys
obligations under this agreement are paid in cash and are the result of arms-length transactions. This commitment (see Note Y for additional detail) expires June 30, 2005.



NOTE NCOMMON STOCK AND DIVIDENDS



Intersil is authorized to issue 600.0 million shares of Intersil common stock, par value $0.01 per share, divided into two classes consisting of 300.0 million shares of
Intersil Class A Common Stock and 300.0 million shares of Intersil Class B Common Stock. Holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held and holders of Class B Common Stock have no voting rights. A holder of either class
of Intersil common stock may convert any or all shares into an equal number of shares of the other class of Intersil common stock.



On August 13, 1999, in connection with the issuance of a 13.5% Subordinated Holding PIK Note, Intersil issued to Citicorp Mezzanine Partners, L.P. warrants to purchase
3,703,707 shares of its Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $.0015 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. These warrants became exercisable after August 13, 2000 and expire on August 15, 2009. As Intersil prepaid in full
the 13.5% Subordinated Holding PIK Note within 24 months after issuance, the number of shares subject to such warrants were reduced to 2,222,224 shares. The warrants were valued at $0.3 million and were treated as additional interest related to the
13.5% Subordinated Holding PIK Note. As of January 2, 2004, no shares of Intersil Class A Common Stock remained to be issued pursuant to these warrants.



At June 30, 2000, Intersil had 200,000 outstanding warrants (issued with the 13.25% Senior Subordinated Notes) to purchase 3,703,707 shares of Class A Common Stock of
Intersil. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase 18.5185 shares at a price of $.0015 per share. The warrants became exercisable on August 13, 2000 and expire on August 15, 2009. As of January 2, 2004, 9,275 shares of Class A Common Stock
remained to be issued pursuant to these warrants.



During fiscal year 2001,
Sterling Holding Company, LLC (Sterling), converted 20,924,521 shares of its Intersil Class B Common Stock into an equivalent number of shares of Intersil Class A Common Stock. During fiscal year 2002, Sterling converted 8,495,756 shares
of its holdings in Intersil Class B common stock into an equivalent number of shares of Intersil Class A common stock. Sterling converted 7,786,719 shares of its holdings in Intersil Class B common stock into an equivalent number of shares of
Intersil Class A common stock during fiscal year 2003. At January 2, 2004 the Company had no outstanding Intersil Class B common stock.



On May 14, 2002 the Company issued 29,587,331 shares of its Class A common stock in exchange for all outstanding shares of Elantec common stock (see Note I).

Dividends



In September 2003, the Board of Directors declared the Companys first common stock
dividend, of $0.03 per share, which was paid on November 24, 2003 to stockholders of record as of November 3, 2003.



NOTE OTREASURY SHARES



In March 2001, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $50 million of its outstanding common stock. In
September 2003, the Board of Directors authorized another stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $100 million of its outstanding common stock during the following 12 months. 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. One of Intersils purposes for purchasing its shares on the open market is to partially
offset shareholder dilution from employee stock option exercises. Additionally, due to market conditions, management believes the repurchase of shares represents an effective use of the Companys cash balance. Intersil Corporation has no
Board-approved future plan for the reissuance of these shares. As of January 3, 2003 and January 2, 2004, respectively, 225,000 and 1,157,100 shares at an approximate cost of $3.6 million and $30.0 million had been repurchased and were held as
treasury stock. The following table summarizes the treasury share activity during fiscal year 2002 and 2003 (at cost and in millions, except share amounts):

NOTE PDEFERRED STOCK UNITS AND UNEARNED COMPENSATION



The Board of Directors has established minimum common stock ownership requirements for the
CEO and other key executives. The ownership requirement established for the Chief Executive Officer is four times his base salary. For other key executives, the ownership requirement is two times their base salary. The CEO and other key executives
have a five-year period over which to achieve the targeted ownership requirement. As a result, the Company issued 132,600 deferred stock units to 11 executives and 6 Board members during fiscal year 2003. The issuance of the deferred stock units is
in conjunction with a decrease in the issuance of options. The deferred stock units entitle the executives to receive one share of Intersil Class A common stock for each deferred stock unit issued, provided the executives are employed at Intersil on
the third anniversary of the grant date. The deferred stock units do share in all dividends. The weighted average fair value of all deferred stock units issued during fiscal year 2003 was $16.17.



According to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No 44, Accounting for Certain
Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, the issuance of these deferred stock units requires compensation expense to be measured and recognized evenly over the three-year vesting period. Accordingly, the Company recorded $2.4 million in
unearned compensation within the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet during fiscal year 2003. The unearned compensation was calculated by multiplying the average share price on the day of issuance by the number of deferred stock units
issued. The Company reversed $0.2 million of the unearned compensation balance during fiscal year 2003 when 15,000 deferred stock units were forfeited due to the departure of two executives.



Unearned compensation is recorded within the shareholders equity portion of the
Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of January 2, 2004, the Companys unearned compensation had resulted from the issuance of the aforementioned deferred stock units as well the issuance of unvested stock options as part of the merger with Elantec
(see Note I). Amortization of unearned compensation from continuing operations was $14.5 million and $12.0 million for fiscal year 2002 and fiscal year 2003, respectively. There was no amortization of unearned compensation from continuing operations
during fiscal year 2001. Expected amortization of unearned compensation for each of the next five years is the following: 2004$5.2 million, 2005$2.9 million, 2006$0.9 million, 2007$0.0 million and 2008$0.0 million.

The benefit related to tax deductions
from the exercise of non-qualified stock options is recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital when realized. As a result of the exercise of non-qualified stock options, the Company realized tax benefits of approximately $4.0 million,
$0.9 million and $4.8 million during fiscal year 2001, fiscal year 2002 and fiscal year 2003, respectively.

United States income taxes have not
been provided on undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries because of Intersils intention to reinvest these earnings.



Pretax income (loss) of international subsidiaries was $4.4 million, $28.0 million and $25.5 million during fiscal year 2001, fiscal year 2002 and fiscal year 2003,
respectively.



Income taxes paid were $61.7 million, $12.4 million and $2.1
million during fiscal year 2001, fiscal year 2002 and fiscal year 2003, respectively.



The Company recorded a valuation allowance in 2001 of approximately $2.2 million related to certain foreign net operating loss carryforwards. In 2002, this valuation allowance was reduced to zero due to the Companys actual and
expected utilization of the remaining net operating loss carryforwards. As of January 2, 2004, the Company expects to have fully utilized these foreign net operating loss carryforwards.

made to customers within China, 13% to customers within Taiwan and 12% to customers within Japan. Of the Companys sales from continuing operations for fiscal year 2003, 12% were made to one distributor that supports a wide range of customers
in Taiwan and China.



The Company operates and tracks its results in one
reportable segment in accordance with the aggregation provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131 (SFAS 131), Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.



NOTE SDISCONTINUED OPERATIONS



Upon evaluation and review of the Wireless Networking portfolio, the Company concluded that
the Wireless Networking product group was not core to its long-term strategy and thus sold the product group on August 28, 2003 with the appropriate authority of the Board of Directors. The Company has decided to focus on the analog product groups
where it provides power management, optical storage, flat panel display and other analog solutions. The Wireless Networking product group produced a portfolio of semiconductor solutions for the wireless local area network market (WLAN).



Proceeds from the transaction included $250.0 million in cash and $114.4
million in GlobespanVirata common stock. These shares represented approximately 12% of the voting shares prior to the sale and approximately 10% of the voting shares following the sale. The Company sold all of the acquired GlobespanVirata shares in
the same quarter in which it received them. Additionally, the Company kept the product groups accounts receivable and accounts payable balances that existed at the time of sale. The Company recorded a gain of $61.4 million ($28.0 million net
of tax). The gain could be affected by a contingent working capital adjustment. The gain was calculated as the proceeds less $259.6 million of the product groups net assets, $32.0 million of transaction costs, and $11.4 million in charges for
employee stock option acceleration. Net assets were comprised of inventory, fixed assets, prepaid expenses, intangibles, goodwill and certain liabilities primarily consisting of accrued compensation, sales reserves and payables related to royalty
contracts. Transaction costs include legal fees, investment banking fees, audit fees, and legal costs associated with patent infringement suits existing at the time of the sale, for which Intersil has retained the liability. The Company accrued
approximately $19.8 million for the estimated legal costs to be incurred in defense of patent litigations (see Legal Proceedings) because Management believed that a loss would be probable. The Company was provided an estimate from the Companys
outside patent counsel. Their estimate represented the expected future billings from the law firm to Intersil in order to defend these cases. As of January 2, 2004, the Company had recorded approximately $21.1 million of accruals to cover unpaid
transaction costs. In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS 144), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company has not included the results
of operations of its Wireless Networking product group in the results from continuing operations. The results of operations for this product group have been reflected in discontinued operations through the date of the sale.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan



In February 2000, Intersil adopted the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) whereby eligible employees can purchase shares of
Intersils common stock. Intersil has reserved 1,333,334 shares of common stock for issuance under the ESPP. The Company had 131,334 shares available for issuance under the plan as of January 2, 2004. 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. 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. Unless sooner terminated by the Board, the ESPP



shall terminate upon the earliest of (1) February 28, 2010, (2) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the ESPP shall have been sold pursuant to
purchase rights exercised under the ESPP, or (3) the date on which all purchase rights are exercised in connection with a Corporate Transaction (as defined in the ESPP). As of January 3, 2003 and January 2, 2004, approximately 783,000 and 1,202,000
shares had been issued under the ESPP, respectively.



NOTE URECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS



In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB
Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. This interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, addresses consolidation by business
enterprises of variable interest entities. Under current practice, two enterprises generally have been included in consolidated financial statements because one enterprise controls the other through voting interests. This interpretation defines the
concept of variable interests and requires existing unconsolidated variable interest entities to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse the risks among the parties involved. This
interpretation applied immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applied in the first fiscal year or interim period
beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. If it is reasonably possible that an enterprise will consolidate or disclose information about a
variable interest entity when this interpretation becomes effective, the enterprise shall disclose information about those entities in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. The interpretation may be applied prospectively with a
cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date on which it is first applied or by restating previously issued financial statements for one or more years with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the first year restated. The Company has
completed its assessment of this interpretation and determined that it is not party to any variable interest entities as of January 2, 2004.



In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 145. Under previous guidance, all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt were required to be aggregated and, if material,
classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. This Statement eliminates SFAS 4 and thus the extraordinary treatment related to the extinguishment of debt in most instances. As a result, gains and losses from extinguishment
of debt should be classified as extraordinary items only if they meet the criteria in APB Opinion 30. The provisions of this Statement related to the rescission of Statement 4 shall be applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. Any gain
or loss on extinguishment of debt that was classified as an extraordinary item in prior periods presented that does not meet the criteria in APB Opinion 30 for classification as an extraordinary item shall be reclassified. The Company has adopted
the provisions of this standard and has reclassified its loss on the extinguishment of debt for fiscal year 2001 on the face of the Consolidated Statement of Operations.



In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146 (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. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 146 for any exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.



In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149
(SFAS 149), Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities. The statement was effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.

##### Table of Contents

In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150 (SFAS 150), Accounting
for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and
equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). This standard was effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003,
except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic entities that are subject to the provisions of this Statement for the first fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2003. The adoption of this standard did not have a material
impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.



NOTE VLOSS FROM EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT



In March 2001,
the Company tendered all of its $61.4 million in outstanding debt. Accordingly, the Company recorded a charge of $19.7 million ($12.2 million net of tax) related to premiums paid on repurchase and the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees
during fiscal year 2001.



NOTE WSHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN



On August 29, 2003, the Companys Board of Directors adopted a
Shareholder Rights Plan (Rights Plan). Under the Rights Plan, rights were distributed as a dividend at the rate of one right for each share of common stock of the Company held by the shareholders of record as of the close of business on
September 17, 2003. Until the occurrence of certain events, the rights are represented by and traded in tandem with the common stock. Each right will separate and entitle the shareholders to buy stock upon an occurrence of certain takeover or stock
accumulation events. Should any person or group acquire beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the Companys common stock, each right not held by the Acquiring Person becomes the right to purchase, at an exercise price of $115, that number of
shares of the Companys common stock that at the time of the transaction, have a market value of twice the exercise price. In addition, if after a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person the Company merges, consolidates or engages in a
similar transaction in which it does not survive, each holder has a flip-over right to buy discounted stock in the acquiring company. Certain of our principal stockholders will not be and cannot become an Acquiring Person and will not be
counted as affiliates or associates of any other person in determining whether such person is an Acquiring Person under the Rights Plan.



Under certain circumstances, the rights are redeemable by the Company at a price of $0.0001 per right. Further, if any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, the
Board of Directors has the option to exchange one share of common stock for each right held by any Person other than the Acquiring Person. The rights expire on August 29, 2006.



In connection with the adoption of a Stock Purchase Rights Plan, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution creating a series of 25,000
shares of preferred stock designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. As of January 2, 2004, none of the shares were issued or outstanding.



NOTE XGUARANTEES



In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of
Others. FIN 45 elaborates on the existing disclosure requirements for most guarantees, including loan guarantees such as standby letters of credit. It also clarifies that at the time a company issues a guarantee, the company must recognize an
initial liability for the fair value, or market value, of the obligations it assumes under the guarantee and must disclose that information in its interim and annual financial statements. The provisions related to recognizing a liability at
inception of the guarantee for the fair value of the guarantors obligations do not apply to product warranties or to guarantees accounted for as derivatives. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions apply on a prospective
basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the Companys results of operations or financial condition and did not result in any additional liabilities as of January
2, 2004 associated with guarantees covered by this interpretation.



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 reserves
based on historical warranty experience. It tracks returns by type and specifically identifies those returns that were based on product failures and similar occurrences. The Companys warranty reserve has not changed materially from quarter to
quarter.

Indemnifications



The Company sold its facility in Mountaintop, Pennsylvania to Fairchild Semiconductor
(Fairchild) in 2001. The fluoride pretreatment plant for industrial wastewater, which was installed by Harris Corporation (Harris) in 1995, failed to operate to design specifications and occasionally made discharges to the
local sanitary authority that exceed pretreatment standards. Harris indemnified the Company in connection with the fluoride wastewater system, and the Company subsequently indemnified Fairchild. This matter was resolved in 2003 whereby we, Harris
and Fairchild released each other from any future claims related to the treatment plant.



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 to ChipPAC 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 ChipPAC against those liabilities. This indemnification does not expire, nor does it 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. The accrual and the related expense for known issues were not significant during the periods presented.



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.



NOTE YRELATED
PARTY TRANSACTIONS



As of January 2, 2004, Intersil held a $0.5 million
receivable balance within the non-current section of the balance sheet resulting from a loan made to an employee who is neither the CFO or CEO. The loan was made by Elantec prior to the merger as part of an employment offer. The loan is a recourse
loan, and the security is in the form of a second trust deed on the employees real property. The loan earns interest in excess of the Prime Rate. The loan is due on April 18, 2007. A similar loan for the same amount was repaid during fiscal
year 2003.

Sterling, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., and its affiliates formerly owned a significant number
of Intersils common shares. However, as of January 2, 2004, Sterling held none. Citigroup Venture Capital Equity Partners, which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., indirectly owns an interest in Fairchild and ChipPAC.
Sterling holds a seat on the Companys Board of Directors. Citigroup Venture Capital Equity Partners owns a seat on Fairchilds and ChipPACs Board of Directors. The terms of the sale of the Discrete Power product group to Fairchild
were the result of arms-length negotiations and are no less favorable than those that could be obtained from non-affiliated parties. Intersil has a contract in place with ChipPAC, in which they provide a specified percentage of the Companys
test and package activities subject to certain exceptions. The terms of the contract were the result of arms-length negotiations and are no less favorable than those that could be obtained from non-affiliated parties.

NOTE Z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 will record the 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 loss to be probable,
Intersil has an accrual of $19.1 million as of January 2, 2004 for estimated legal costs to defend its positions.



On March 17, 2003, the Company announced the settlement of the litigation arising from the alleged infringement with Proxim Corporation (Proxim). The terms of
the confidential settlement require Intersil to make an upfront cash payment to Proxim and provide a rebate on the future sale of certain wireless products to Proxim. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 5,
Accounting for Contingencies, the Company recorded the amounts related to the settlement as an expense in cost of product sales in fiscal year 2002. The settlement liability is reflected in litigation accruals at January 3,
2003. The final installment of the settlement was paid to Proxim on May 6, 2003. Intersil has since sold its Wireless Networking product group to GlobespanVirata, and assigned the rebate agreement and related liability to GlobespanVirata.



On October 17, 2002, Agere Systems, Inc. (Agere) filed suit
against Intersil in the District Court of Delaware alleging that Intersil infringes on certain patents by making, using, selling, offering to sell, and/or importing products that infringe these patents. Agere seeks a permanent injunction as well as
unspecified actual and treble damages including costs, expenses, and attorneys fees. Intersil has filed counterclaims against Agere, including alleging Ageres infringement of 2 telecommunication and 8 semiconductor technology patents.
The parties are currently in the discovery phase of the litigation. A trial has been scheduled for November 2004.



On July 22, 2003, Agere filed a second patent suit against Intersil in the District Court of Delaware. Agere seeks a permanent injunction as well as unspecified actual
and treble damages including costs, expenses, and attorneys fees. Intersil has counter-sued Agere, for infringement of four semiconductor technology patents. Intersil has also sued Lucent Technologies, Ageres customer and former parent
corporation, for infringement of 12 semiconductor technology patents.



On
October 30, 2002, Intersil Corporation, Intersil Americas Inc., and Intersil Corporations subsidiary at that time, Choice-Intersil Microsystems, Inc. (Choice), filed a Complaint and associated motion for preliminary injunction
against Agere in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania for misappropriation of trade secrets developed pursuant to a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) between Choice and Lucent. On September 9, 2003 The
District Court issued an order denying Intersils motion and Intersil has filed an interlocutory appeal of this order with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (the Appeal). Intersil has amended the Complaint to add
claims against Agere for copyright infringement. In August 2003, Intersil Corporation sold Choice to GlobespanVirata Inc. (GlobespanVirata). Agere counterclaimed against Intersil Corporation, Intersil Americas Inc., Choice, and

GlobespanVirata (Counterclaim Defendants), alleging trade secret misappropriation, unjust enrichment,
declaratory judgment regarding Ageres alleged rights under the JDA, breach of contract, tortious interference with contract, and copyright infringement, involving alleged acts and omissions before and after Intersil Corporations sale of
Choice. Agere seeks a preliminary and permanent injunction as well as unspecified actual damages including costs, expenses, and attorneys fees. In February 2004, the Court dismissed Intersil Corporation and Intersil Americas Inc. as
co-Plaintiffs, leaving Choice as the Plaintiff. Intersil Corporation and Intersil Americas Inc. remain as Counterclaim Defendants. The parties have requested a jury trial, which is presently expected to take place in the fourth quarter of 2004.
Intersil disputes Ageres counterclaims and intend to vigorously defend the lawsuit.



On July 23, 2003, Symbol Technologies, Inc (Symbol), an Intersil customer, filed suit against the Company and its subsidiary, Choice-Intersil Microsystems, Inc., in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Suffolk
County. Symbol alleges that the Company and its subsidiary are required to indemnify Symbol in an amount in excess of $1.5 million for Symbols expenses, including attorneys fees, incurred in defending certain patent infringement claims
asserted against Symbol by Proxim Incorporated in two separate civil actions pending in Federal District Court for the District of Delaware. Symbol, contends that the alleged infringement was caused by hardware and firmware components purchased from
Intersil and included in Symbol products. Intersil disputes Symbols indemnification claims and intend to vigorously defend the lawsuit.

a) On August 28, 2003, the Company
sold the assets of its Wireless Networking product group to GlobespanVirata, Inc. The results of operations of the product were excluded after the date of sale. Please refer to Note S for further discussion. This change resulted in certain
reclassifications of prior quarterly information as the results of this product group qualified as a discontinued operation.



b) The quarter ended October 4, 2002 contained 14 weeks. All other periods contain 13 weeks.



c) On May 14, 2002, the Company merged with Elantec Semiconductor, Inc. (Elantec). Accordingly, Elantecs results of operations since
the merger date are included within the results above. Please refer to Note I for further discussion.



d) The Company experienced no extraordinary items during the time periods presented above. Therefore net income/(loss) is equal to income/(loss) before to extraordinary items for all periods presented.



e) During fiscal year 2002 and fiscal year 2003, the Company recorded various impairment
charges. These charges reduce expenses in periods subsequent to their recording thus affecting comparability of the financial data. Please refer to Notes L for further discussion.



f) During fiscal year 2002 and fiscal year 2003, the Company recorded various restructuring charges. These charges reduce expenses in
periods subsequent to their recording thus affecting comparability of the financial data. Please refer to Notes J & K for further discussion.



g) Effective March 30, 2002 the Company began to recognize revenue to North American distributors on a sell-through basis. As such, the Company now recognizes sales to
North American distributors upon shipment by the distributor to the end customer. Formerly, the Company recognized revenue from North American distributor sales upon shipment to the distributors. The impact of this change resulted in a reduction in
net income of $6.6 million during the quarter ended June 28, 2002, (the quarter of adoption). This change did not have a material impact on the results of operations subsequent to the adoption as the recognition of previously deferred revenue offset
the additional deferrals.



NOTE ABSUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)



On January 28, 2004, the Companys Board of Directors declared a
quarterly dividend of $0.03 per share of common stock. Payment of the dividend was made on February 27, 2004 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 17, 2004.
