PART I

Item 1.Business

Overview

Sirenza Microdevices is a supplier of radio frequency (RF) components for the commercial communications, consumer and aerospace, defense and homeland security (A&D) equipment markets. Our products are designed to
optimize the reception and transmission of voice and data signals in mobile wireless communications networks and in other wireless and wireline applications. Sales of components for mobile wireless infrastructure applications accounted for the
majority of our net revenues in 2005. Other commercial applications include components for wireless local area networks (LANs), fixed wireless networks, broadband wireline applications such as coaxial cable and fiber optic networks, cable television
set-top boxes, radio frequency identification (RFID) readers and wireless video transmitters. As a result of our acquisition of ISG Broadband, Inc. (ISG) in December 2004, we have expanded our products and end markets to include antennae and
receivers for satellite radio, as well as tuner related integrated circuits (ICs) for high-definition television (HDTV) and set-top boxes. Our A&D products include components for government, military, avionics, space and homeland security
systems. The performance of our RF components has a significant impact on the overall performance of communications systems and equipment. We hold both ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System and ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management System
certifications.

We offer a broad line of products that range in complexity from discrete components to ICs and multi-component modules (MCMs). We believe
our products are well suited for existing communications networks. We focus on RF design, development and testing and employ a combination of outsourced and in-house manufacturing to select what we believe to be the optimal product technology for
any given application. Our products employ a broad array of semiconductor process technologies, including gallium arsenide (GaAs), silicon germanium (SiGe), indium gallium phosphide (InGaP HBT), lateral double diffused metal on oxide (LDMOS),
gallium arsenide field effect transistor (HFET or PHEMT), silicon complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) and silicon bi-polar with complementary metal oxide semiconductor (BiCMOS). For our IC products, we outsource our wafer manufacturing
and packaging and then perform a significant majority of our final testing and tape and reel assembly at our Colorado manufacturing facility. For our MCMs, we manufacture, assemble and test most of our products at our manufacturing facility in
Colorado. Our proven core competencies in RF component design, manufacturing and testing provide us with the flexibility necessary to deliver a comprehensive line of high quality and cost effective products to our worldwide customer base.

In 2005 we operated in three business segments, our Amplifier division, consisting of our amplifier, power amplifier, power module, transceiver, discrete
and active antenna product lines, our Signal Source division, consisting of our voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), phase-locked loop (PLL) and other MCM products, and our A&D division, which draws products from our Amplifier and Signal Source
divisions for specific applications in the A&D and homeland security end-markets. Net revenues and operating income (loss) reported by division or segment for each of the last three years are included in Note 14 of the Notes to our Consolidated
Financial Statements set forth under Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We sell our products worldwide through two channels: a distribution
sales channel and a direct sales channel. We recognize revenues in our distribution sales channel at the time our products are sold by our distributors to their third party customers. We generally recognize revenue from sales to our direct channel
at the time product has shipped, title has transferred and no obligations remain. We have two customers, Avnet Electronics Marketing (Avnet) and Acal plc (Acal), that account for sales in both our distribution channel and our direct sales channel.
We refer to Avnet and Acal as resellers when they purchase products from us on terms that do not include the limited rights of return and price adjustments on unsold inventory customary for our distribution channel sales, and we recognize the
revenue from such sales at the time product has shipped and include it in our direct sales channel. For further detail on our revenue recognition, please see Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Revenue Overview in our Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation set forth below.

Amplifier Division

The Amplifier divisions main product lines
are primarily IC-based and include discrete, amplifier, low noise amplifier, power amplifier and transceiver IC products and an MCM product line including power amplifier modules and active antenna products. Sales of our amplifier, power amplifier,
and discrete IC products represented the significant majority of our Amplifier division net revenues in 2003 and 2004. Sales of our amplifier, power amplifier, satellite radio antennas and discrete IC products represented the significant majority of
our Amplifier division net revenues in 2005.

Over the course of a year, we periodically make product announcements regarding newly released products.
These products are generally developed through our ongoing product research and development (R&D), and individually do not require any particular, material amount of investment or the utilization of a material level of division assets.

The principal raw material used in the production of our Amplifier division products is semiconductor wafers. We source semiconductor wafers from a
variety of merchant foundries. However, wafers for a particular process technology are generally sourced through one foundry on which we rely for all of our wafers in that process. Although we generally have not had material difficulties in
obtaining our requirements for wafers, we are subject to the risks associated with our reliance on these wafer foundries, as described in detail in Item 1A under Risk Factors below. Most other raw materials utilized in our Amplifier
division business are readily available from numerous sources. We source our IC packaging from established, international commercial vendors. A significant majority of the final test of our IC products is done in our test operations in Broomfield,
Colorado.

We outsource the manufacture of our satellite radio antennae to a contract manufacturer located in the Philippines. The contract manufacturer is
responsible for securing the raw materials, to our specification, necessary for the assembly of the antennae. Testing is done by the contract manufacturer per our specifications. All inventory is maintained at the contract manufacturing site and
shipments are made directly to end customers per our instructions.

Historically the majority of the sales in the Amplifier division have been made to
mobile wireless infrastructure equipment manufacturers. This end market has typically exhibited a significant seasonal trend characterized by stronger customer demand in the second half of the year as compared to the first half. We realized this
second-half seasonality in 2005, 2004 and 2003.

We are not contractually required to carry significant amounts of inventory to meet direct customers
delivery requirements or to assure ourselves of a secure and continuous supply of raw materials from our suppliers. However, we do carry a buffer stock of finished goods for our top selling products to facilitate efficient plant operations and
timely deliveries to our direct customers. Our distributors carry inventories sufficient to meet the anticipated delivery requirements of their end customers. We have in place distribution sales agreements for our distributors that stipulate the
frequency and the level of product inventories that can be returned by the respective distributors. Payment terms for our customers typically range between 30 days and 75 days depending primarily on the volume of purchases from the customer and
geographic location of the customer.

The most significant end customers in the Amplifier division in 2005, based on net revenues, either directly or
indirectly, were Sirius Satellite Radio (Sirius), Ericsson, Arris, Atheros and Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (Huawei). In addition, sales to two distributors and resellers of our products, Avnet and Acal, represented a significant amount of our
Amplifier division net revenues in 2005. See Geographic and Customer Revenue below for a discussion of customers that represented in excess of 10% of our total net revenues.

We discuss the competitive conditions for our Amplifier division in Item 1A under the heading Risk Factors below and in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (MD&A) under Item 7 below.

Signal Source Division

The Signal Source divisions main product lines are MCMs used in mobile wireless infrastructure applications to generate and control RF signals, including VCOs, PLLs, coaxial resonator oscillators (CROs), passive and active mixers, an
IC-based modulator and demodulator product line and a line of signal couplers. Sales of our VCO and PLL products represented the significant majority of our Signal Source division net revenues in 2005.

Over the course of a year we periodically make product announcements regarding newly released products. These products are generally developed through our ongoing
product R&D, and individually do not require any particular, material amount of investment or the utilization of a material level of division assets.

Generally, raw materials utilized by us in our Signal Source division business are readily available from numerous sources, although it can take time to qualify new sources that can cost-effectively meet our high quality and reliability
standards. We source building block or discrete components used in the manufacturing of our Signal Source division products, such as printed circuit boards, commercially available ICs, diodes, resistors and capacitors, from a variety of domestic and
international merchant suppliers and distributors. For many of our critical components, we have multiple suppliers to provide second source back-ups for our key bill-of-material requirements. We build a significant majority of our signal source
products in our manufacturing and test facility in Broomfield, Colorado. We regularly review the cost and benefits of in-house manufacturing versus outsourcing for our signal source product lines.

Historically, the majority of our sales in the Signal Source division have been made to the mobile wireless infrastructure equipment end-market, where the yearly second
half seasonality profile tends to be similar to our Amplifier division. We realized this typical second-half seasonal increase in 2005, 2004 and 2003.

We
are not contractually required to carry significant amounts of inventory to meet direct customers delivery requirements or to assure ourselves of a secure and continuous supply of raw materials from our suppliers. However, we do carry a buffer
stock of finished goods for our top selling products to facilitate efficient manufacturing operations and deliveries to our direct customers. Sales of our Signal Source division products through our distributors have not been significant. Payment
terms for our customers typically range between 30 days and 75 days depending primarily on the volume of purchases from the customer and geographic location of the customer.

The most significant end customers in the Signal Source division in 2005, based on net revenues, either directly or indirectly, were Motorola, Nokia, Siemens, Iridium and Huawei. See Geographic and Customer
Revenue below for a discussion of customers that represented in excess of 10% of our total net revenues.

We discuss the competitive conditions for
our Signal Source division in Item 1A under the heading Risk Factors below and in MD&A under Item 7 below.

Aerospace & Defense Division

The A&D divisions main product lines are government and military specified versions of
certain of our amplifier and signal processing components and various passive components. The majority of our 2005 A&D net revenues came from sales of government and military specified versions of our VCOs and passive components.

As our A&D division products are generally modified versions of commercial products available from our Amplifier and Signal Source divisions, the sources and
availability of raw materials utilized by our A&D division tend to mirror those of our two larger divisions described above. We build all of our A&D products in our manufacturing and test facility in Broomfield, Colorado.

Sales of our A&D products are not necessarily seasonal, but due to timing of various military and aerospace programs, quarter to quarter sales can vary
significantly.

We are not contractually required to carry significant amounts of finished goods inventory to meet customers delivery requirements as
most parts have long order lead times and are built to specific customer specifications. We do carry more raw materials in A&D than our other divisions as military programs tend to have longer product life spans and we need to assure
availability of the original raw materials components that were originally approved by our customer. In some cases, to guarantee availability, customers will pre-pay for these materials and have us store them at our site for their future use.

The most significant end customers in the A&D division in 2005, based on net revenues, were Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and Textron Systems Corporation.
See Geographic and Customer Revenue below for a discussion of customers that represented in excess of 10% of our total net revenues.

Because
our A&D division sales are primarily to prime contractors with the U.S. or other governments or subcontractors to such persons, the A&D division may be subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts and resulting unexpected
lost sales at the election of such governments.

We discuss the competitive conditions for our A&D division in Item 1A under the heading
Risk Factors below and in MD&A under Item 7 below.

In 2006 we have moved from the three segment reporting structure described above
to a structure consisting of one RF component sales segment made up of five market-focused strategic business units: Aerospace, Defense and Homeland Security, Broadband and Consumer, Mobile Wireless, Standard Products and Wireless Access. While we
will provide limited data at the strategic business unit level in our future reports, these business units will not have separate profit and loss statements reviewed by our chief operating decision maker, and accordingly will be reported as a single
segment. Following the closing of our pending acquisition of Premier Devices, Inc. (PDI), we currently expect that PDI will also be reported as a separate segment. See Acquisitions below for a more detailed discussion of our pending
acquisition of PDI.

Research and Development

For
2005, 2004, and 2003 total R&D expenditures were $10.1 million, $9.0 million, and $8.6 million, respectively. Product development activities during these years accounted for approximately 85% of total R&D expenditures for 2005, 82% of total
R&D expenditures for 2004 and 77% of total R&D expenditures for 2003. The remaining R&D expenditures in each fiscal year were advanced R&D projects targeted at technology development and advanced design concepts and design
techniques.

Geographic and Customer Revenue

Sales to
customers located in the United States represented approximately 25%, 24%, and 40% of net revenues in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Sales to customers located outside of the United States represented 75%, 76%, and 60% of net revenues in 2005,
2004 and 2003, respectively. Sales to customers located in China represented 33% of net revenues in 2005, 34% in 2004 and 16% in 2003.

Two of our
customers, Avnet and Motorola, accounted for approximately 13% and 11% of net revenues, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2005. In addition, wireless infrastructure OEM Nokia and satellite radio antenna customer Sirius each
accounted for more than 10% of our net revenues in 2005, either directly or through sales to their contract manufacturers.

Four of our customers,
Solectron, Acal, Avnet and Planet Technology (H.K.) Ltd., accounted for approximately 17%, 14%, 13% and 11% of net revenues, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2004. In addition, wireless infrastructure OEMs Ericsson, Motorola and
Nokia each accounted for more than 10% of our net revenues in 2004, either directly or through sales to their contract manufacturers.

Two of the
Companys customers, Avnet and Acal, accounted for approximately 16% and 12% of net revenues, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2003.

##### Table of Contents

As our sales to customers located outside the U.S. has increased substantially, we have become subject to risks
associated with foreign operations. For a description of these risks, see our disclosure in Item 1A under Risk Factors set forth below.

Acquisitions

We have made three acquisitions since 2002. On December 16, 2004, we acquired ISG, a designer of RF gateway module and IC
products for the cable TV, satellite radio and HDTV markets. This acquisition enables us to address new end markets, including HDTV, cable TV infrastrucutre and satellite radio, and broadens our product offering in the set-top box market by adding
ISGs silicon-based receiver/tuner products to our existing product lines targeting this market. Sales of the products acquired in the ISG acquisition represented a significant amount of our net revenues in 2005.

On May 5, 2003, we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed specified liabilities of Vari-L Company, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of signal source
RF components, couplers, and certain components for the A&D market. This acquisition strengthened our product portfolio by adding RF signal source components while strengthening our presence in the A&D markets. The acquisition of Vari-L
added a significant amount of net revenues to Sirenza subsequent to the date of the transaction.

On September 11, 2002, we acquired Xemod
Incorporated, a designer and fabless manufacturer of RF power amplifier modules and components based on patented LDMOS technology. The acquisition strengthened our product portfolio of RF components by adding high power amplifier module products. We
have not had significant levels of net revenues from these products to date.

On February 4, 2006, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire
Premier Devices, Inc., or PDI, by merger for consideration consisting of 7.0 million shares of our common stock, $14.0 million in cash and $6.0 million in term notes that will mature 1 year following the closing of the transaction. The
transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2006. PDI designs, manufactures and markets complementary RF components featuring technologies common to existing and planned Sirenza products,
and is headquartered in San Jose, California with significant manufacturing operations in both Shanghai, China and Nuremberg, Germany. This acquisition is intended to expand both the depth and breadth of our products, extend our design and
manufacturing capabilities into Asia and Europe and advance our strategic mission to diversify and expand our end markets and applications. For a description of related risks, see our disclosure in Item 1A under Risk Factors set
forth below.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate and may enter into other acquisitions or investment transactions in complementary businesses, technologies,
services or products.

Intellectual Property

Intellectual property rights that apply to our various products include patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks and mask work rights. We maintain an active program to protect our investment in technology. The extent of the legal
protection given to different types of intellectual property rights varies under different countries legal systems.

As of December 31, 2005 we
had 48 active US patents issued including continuations thereof, 4 applications pending and 4 foreign patents. Third-party wafer fabs own the patents for the current process technologies used in manufacturing our wafers. We intend to seek patent
protection for our future products and technologies where appropriate and to protect our proprietary technology under U.S. and foreign laws affording such protection. We believe that the duration of our issued patents is adequate relative to the
expected lives of our products. Although we believe that patents are an important element of our success, we do not believe that our business, as a whole, is materially dependent on any one patent.

To distinguish Sirenza products from our competitors products, we have obtained certain trademarks and trade names for our products. With respect to trademarks, we
consider our trademark in our name Sirenza Microdevices material to our business. We have sought and received registration with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and in the European Union for this trademark. When
registered in the United States, a trademark is effective for a ten-year period, with indefinite renewal periods of ten years, subject to continued use of the mark. We also rely on common law protection for this trademark and others and have
received registration for other trademarks with the USPTO and in foreign jurisdictions.

We protect certain details about our processes, products and
strategies as trade secrets and have ongoing programs designed to maintain the confidentiality of such information. To protect our trade secrets, technical know-how and other proprietary information, our employees are required to enter into
agreements providing for the maintenance of confidentiality and assignment of rights to inventions made by them while employed by Sirenza. We also routinely enter into non-disclosure agreements to protect our confidential information delivered to
third parties and control access to and distribution of our proprietary information. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology or to develop
products with the same functionality as our products. Monitoring unauthorized use of our proprietary information is difficult, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent misappropriation of our technology, particularly in
foreign countries where the laws may not protect proprietary rights as fully as do the laws of the United States.

Although we rely on intellectual
property law to protect our technology, we believe that factors such as the technological and creative skills of our personnel, new product developments, frequent product enhancements and reliable product maintenance are more essential to
establishing and maintaining a technology leadership position. Sirenza can give no guarantee that others will not develop products or technologies that are similar or superior to our products and technologies.

Employees

As of December 31, 2005, we had 252 full time
employees, including 37 in sales and marketing, 60 in research and development, 125 in operations and 30 in general and administrative functions. None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement, and we believe that our
relations with our employees are good.

Sales Order Backlog

We include in our backlog all accepted product purchase orders for which delivery has been specified within one year, including orders from distributors. We do not recognize revenue from sales through our distributors until the distributor
has sold our product to the end customer. Product orders in our backlog are subject to changes in delivery schedules or quantities or to cancellation at the option of the purchaser without significant penalty. Our backlog may vary significantly from
time to time depending upon the level of capacity available to satisfy unfilled orders. Accordingly, although useful for scheduling production, we do not believe that backlog as of any particular date is necessarily indicative of our 2006
results.

Compliance with Environmental, Health and Safety Regulations

We are committed to achieving high standards of environmental quality and product safety, and strive to provide a safe and healthy workplace for our employees, contractors and the communities in which we do business.
We have developed environmental, health and safety policies for our business, and internal processes focused on minimizing and properly managing any hazardous materials used in our facilities and products. At our manufacturing and assembly and test
site in Broomfield, Colorado we have obtained an ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management System certification, which requires that a broad range of environmental processes and policies be implemented to minimize environmental impact and maintain
compliance with environmental regulations.

The manufacture, assembly and testing of our products requires the use of hazardous materials that are subject
to a broad array of environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. As we continue to use advanced process technologies, the materials, technologies and products themselves become increasingly complex. Our evaluations of new materials for use
in research and development, manufacturing, and assembly and test take into account environmental, health and safety considerations. Many new materials being evaluated for use may be subject to existing or future laws and regulations. Failure to
comply with any of the applicable laws or regulations could result in fines, suspension of production, alteration of fabrication and assembly processes, curtailment of operations or sales, and legal liability. Our

failure to properly manage the use, transportation, emission, discharge, storage, recycling or disposal of hazardous
materials could subject us to future liabilities. Existing or future laws and regulations could require us to procure pollution abatement or remediation equipment, modify product designs, or incur other expenses. In addition, restrictions on the use
of certain materials in our facilities or products in the future could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Compliance with these complex laws and regulations, as well as internal voluntary programs, is integrated into our manufacturing
and assembly and test processes. To our knowledge, compliance with these laws and regulations has had no material effect upon our operations.

Company
History

The Company was incorporated in California and began operations in 1985 as Matrix Microassembly Corporation. In 1987, the Company sold its
first products and began to generate revenues. The Company began doing business as Stanford Microdevices, Inc. in 1992. In November 1997, the Company reincorporated in Delaware and changed its legal name to Stanford Microdevices, Inc. We changed our
legal name to Sirenza Microdevices, Inc. in September 2001.

Web Site Postings

We make our Annual Report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed with or furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission available to
the public free of charge through the Investor Relations page of our corporate website as soon as reasonably practicable after making such filings. Our website can be accessed at the following address: www.sirenza.com. The information found on our
website or that may be accessed through our website is not a part of this report and is not incorporated herein by this reference.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

Set forth below and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other documents we
file with the SEC are risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We may not be able to consummate our pending acquisition of PDI.

In February 2006 we announced a definitive agreement to acquire Premier Devices, Inc., or PDI, by merger for consideration consisting of 7.0 million shares of our common stock, $14.0 million in cash and $6.0
million in term notes that will mature 1 year following the closing of the transaction. There are contractual conditions precedent to the transaction closing, such as no material adverse change arising with respect to either party and the delivery
of audited PDI financial statements. If one or more such conditions is not met, the transaction may be delayed or may not be consummated as planned. Delays in closing or failure to close the transaction would involve, among others, the following
risks:



| |  |  | we may not realize any of the anticipated benefits of the proposed acquisition;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we would remain liable for significant transaction costs we have incurred, including legal, accounting, financial advisory and other costs relating to the acquisition, whether or
not it is consummated;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | there may be related litigation or declines in our stock price; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our business and operations may be harmed to the extent customers, suppliers and others believe that we cannot effectively compete in the marketplace without the acquisition or
there is customer or employee uncertainty surrounding the future of our products or strategy.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If we do finalize our acquisition
of PDI, the acquisition may not be successfully integrated or produce the results we anticipate.

The PDI acquisition will be the largest
Sirenza has ever undertaken by many metrics, including the dollar value paid, the size, complexity, number of locations and geographic footprint of the operations to be integrated, and the number of employees that will join us, which we expect will
roughly triple our existing employee base. It is also our first acquisition involving international operations, as most of PDIs employees and manufacturing are based in Shanghai and Nuremberg. We expect that the integration of PDIs
operations with our own will be a complex, time-consuming and costly process involving each of the typical acquisition risks we discuss below in our risk factor entitled We expect to make future acquisitions, which involve numerous
risks. In addition we will face, among others, the following related challenges and risks:



| |  |  | operating a much larger combined company with operations in China and Germany, where we have limited operational experience;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | managing personnel with diverse cultural backgrounds and organizational structures;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the greater cash management, exchange rate and income taxation risks associated with the combined companys new multinational character and the movement of cash between Sirenza
and its domestic and foreign subsidiaries;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Failure to successfully address one or more of the above risks may result in unanticipated liabilities, lower than
expected net revenue, losses from operations, failure to realize any of the expected benefits of the acquisition, and /or related declines in our stock price.

We have a history of significant operating losses. If we are unable to increase our gross profit sufficiently to offset our operating expenses, we may be unable to maintain our profitability.

Although our income from operations approximated $1.2 million for 2005 and $186,000 for 2004, we incurred significant losses from operations in each of the preceding two
fiscal years. Losses from operations approximated $6.7 million in 2003 and $11.4 million in 2002. As of December 31, 2005, our accumulated deficit was approximately $87.7 million. It is possible that we will not generate a sufficient level of
gross profit to maintain our profitability.

Our gross profit depends on a number of factors, some of which are not within our control, including:



| |  |  | changes in our product mix and in the markets in which our products are sold, and particularly in the relative mix of IC, satellite antennae and MCM products sold;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in the relative percentage of products sold through distributors as compared to direct sales;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the cost, quality and efficiency of outsourced manufacturing, packaging and testing services used in producing our products; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the cost of raw materials used in producing our products.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------

As a result of
these factors, we may be unable to maintain or increase our gross profit in future periods. If we are unable to increase our gross profit sufficiently to offset our operating expenses, we may be unable to maintain our profitability.

Even if we do achieve significant gross profit from our product sales, our operating expenses may increase over the next several quarters, as we may, among other things:



| |  |  | expand our selling and marketing activities;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  |  | integrate the PDI acquisition;
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | experience increases in general and administrative expense related to corporate governance and accounting rule pronouncements or potential or completed acquisition, capital raising
or other strategic transactions; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increase our research and development activities for both existing and new products and technologies.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a result, we may need to significantly increase our gross profit to the extent we experience an increase in operating expenses. We may be unable to do so, and therefore, we cannot be certain that we will be able to
achieve profitability in current or future periods.

Our operating results will fluctuate and we may not meet quarterly financial expectations, which
could cause our stock price to decline.

Our quarterly operating results have varied significantly in the past and are likely to vary significantly
in the future based upon a number of factors, many of which we have little or no control over. Factors that could cause our operating results to fluctuate include:



| |  |  | the reduction, rescheduling or cancellation of orders by customers, whether as a result of slowing demand for our products or our customers products, over-ordering of our
products or otherwise;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | general economic growth or decline;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------



| |  |  | fluctuations in manufacturing output, yields, quality control or other potential problems or delays we or our subcontractors may experience in the fabrication, assembly, testing or
delivery of our products;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | telecommunications, consumer or A&D industry conditions generally and demand for products containing RF components specifically;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing and success of new product and technology introductions by us or our customers or competitors;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the effects of changes in accounting standards, in particular the increased expense we anticipate we will recognize related to equity awards in future periods based on our 2006
adoption of SFAS123R;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | market acceptance of our products;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | availability, quality and cost of raw materials, components, semiconductor wafers and internal or outsourced manufacturing, packaging and test capacity;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in customer purchasing cycles and component inventory levels;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in selling prices for our RF components due to competitive or currency exchange rate pressures;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the gain or loss of a key customer or significant changes in the financial condition of one or more key customers;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | amounts and timing of investments in R&D;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | costs associated with acquisitions and the integration of acquired companies;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | impairment charges associated with our intangible assets, including our investment in GCS;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | factors affecting our reported domestic and foreign income taxes and income tax rate; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the effects of war, acts of terrorism or global threats, such as disruption in general economic activity, and the effects on the economy and our business due to increasing oil
prices.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The occurrence of these and other factors could cause us to fail to meet quarterly financial expectations, which could cause our
stock price to decline. For example, in the first quarter of 2005 and the fourth quarter of 2004, our financial results were below investment community expectations, in part due to rescheduling of customer orders, and our stock price subsequently
declined.

Our gross margin will fluctuate from period to period, and such fluctuation could affect our financial performance,
particularly earnings and/or loss per share, in turn potentially decreasing our stock price.

Numerous factors will cause our gross margin to
fluctuate from period to period. For example, the gross margin on sales to our large OEM customers has historically been lower than on sales through our distribution channel or sales to some of our smaller direct customers, primarily due to the
bargaining power attendant with large OEM customers and their higher product volumes. If, as we expect, these large OEMs continue to account for a majority of our net revenues for the foreseeable future, the continuance of this trend will likely
have a negative impact on our gross margins in future periods. In addition, sales of our IC products have historically yielded a higher gross margin than our MCM products. Therefore, increased sales of MCM products in a given period will likely have
a negative effect on our gross margin. In addition, sales of certain of our recently acquired broadband products, in particular satellite radio antennas, have historically had lower gross margins than sales of our wireless infrastructure products.
Therefore, increased sales of satellite radio antenna products in a given period will likely have a negative effect on our gross margin. In 2005, sales of antennae products increased significantly as a percentage of our total sales, which had a
negative effect on our gross margin. Although gross margin differs from product to product, PDIs gross margin in prior periods has generally been lower than Sirenzas, and we expect most PDI product gross margins to be lower than our
reported gross margin in recent periods, which will likely result in lower gross margins for some time following the closing of the acquisition than we have historically achieved. Other factors that could cause our gross margin to fluctuate include
the features of the products we sell, the markets into which we sell our products, the level of integration of our products, the efficiency and effectiveness of our internal and outsourced manufacturing, packaging and test operations, product
quality issues, provisions for excess inventories and sales of previously written-down inventories. As a result of these or other factors, we may be unable to maintain or increase our gross margin in future periods.

Our results may suffer if we are not able to accurately forecast demand for our products.

Our business is characterized by short-term orders and shipment schedules. Customer orders can typically be cancelled or rescheduled without significant penalty to the customer. Because we do not have substantial
non-cancelable backlog, we typically plan our production and inventory levels based on internal forecasts of customer demand, which can be highly unpredictable and can fluctuate substantially.

During periods of industry downturn such as we have experienced in the past, customer order lead times and our resulting order backlog typically shrink even further,
making it more difficult for us to forecast production levels, capacity and net revenues. We frequently find it difficult to accurately predict future demand in the markets we serve, making it more difficult to estimate requirements for production
capacity. If we are unable to plan inventory and production levels effectively, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

From time to time, in response to anticipated long lead times to obtain inventory and materials from our outside suppliers and foundries, we may order materials in advance of customer demand. This advance ordering has
in the past and may in the future result in excess inventory levels or unanticipated inventory write-downs if expected orders fail to materialize, or other factors make our products less saleable.

We depend on a relatively small number of customers for a significant portion of our net revenues. The loss of any of these customers could adversely affect our
net revenues.

A relatively small number of customers account for a significant portion of our net revenues in any particular period. For example,
in 2005, Motorola, Sirius and Nokia individually accounted for, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of our net revenues and our top ten customers accounted for approximately 70% of net revenues. While we do enter into long-term supply agreements
with customers from time to time, these contracts typically do not require the customer to buy any minimum amount of our products, and orders are typically handled on a purchase order by purchase order basis. The loss of any one of these customers
could limit our ability to sustain and grow our net revenues.

If the satellite radio market does not grow or grows at a slow rate, or if our
relationship with Sirius weakens, our results of operations may suffer.

More than 10% of our net revenues in 2005 has been based on growth in the
consumer satellite radio market generally, and growth in the subscriber base of Sirius Satellite Radio in particular. We cannot assure you that the market for satellite radio will grow in the future, or that the Sirius subscriber base will increase.
Further, we compete with a number of established producers of satellite radio antennae and related equipment for sales to Sirius. Sirius periodically introduces new products and new generations of existing products, including satellite radio
antennas, and there can be no guarantee that we will continue to successfully compete to supply such products to Sirius and its contract manufacturers on favorable terms or at all. If the satellite radio market in general or Sirius business in
particular does not grow or experiences a downturn, or if we fail to compete successfully for Sirius business at any point, our revenues may fail to grow or be materially reduced, and our stock price may decline.

Our growth depends on the growth of the wireless and wireline communications infrastructure market. If this market does not grow, or if it grows at a slow rate,
demand for our products may fail to grow or diminish.

Our growth will depend on the growth of the telecommunications industry in general and, in
particular, the market for wireless and wireline infrastructure components. We cannot assure you that the market for these products will grow at all. If the market does not grow or experiences a downturn, our revenues may be materially reduced. In
the past, there have been reductions throughout the worldwide telecommunications industry in component inventory levels and equipment production volumes, and delays in the build-out of new wireless and wireline infrastructure. These events have had
an adverse effect on our operations and caused us, in the past, to lower our previously announced expectations for our financial results, which caused the market price of our common stock to decrease. The occurrence of the events described above
could result in lower or erratic sales for our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. A substantial portion of our net revenues are currently derived from sales of components
for wireless infrastructure applications. PDI has a strong presence in the cable television infrastructure market. As a result, downturns in either the wireline or the wireless communications market, such as the significant downturn beginning in
2001, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Sales of our products have been affected
by a pattern of product price decline, which can harm our business.

The market for our wireless communications products is characterized by rapid
technological change, evolving industry standards, product obsolescence, and significant price competition, and, as a result, is subject to regular decreases in product average selling prices over time. We are unable to predict future prices for our
products, but we expect that prices for products that we sell to our large wireless and wireline infrastructure OEM customers in particular, who we expect to continue to account for a majority of our net revenues for the foreseeable future, will
continue to be subject to downward pressure. These OEMs continue to require components from their suppliers, including us, to deliver improved performance at lower prices. We also anticipate that a similar pattern may develop in our sales of
satellite radio antennas and related products, although these products are at an earlier stage in their life cycle than many of our traditional wireless infrastructure products. Accordingly, our ability to maintain or increase net revenues will be
dependent on our ability to increase unit sales volumes of existing products and to successfully develop, introduce and sell new products with higher prices into both the wireless infrastructure and other markets. We are also making a significant
effort to develop new sales channels and customer bases in which we hope price competition will not be as significant. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop significant new customers with less price sensitivity, increase unit
sales volumes of existing products, or develop, introduce and/or sell new products not affected by a pattern of steady average selling price declines.

The declining selling prices we have experienced in the past and the pricing pressure we continue to face have also
negatively affected and may in the future negatively affect our gross margins. To maintain or increase our gross margins, we must continue to meet our customers design and performance needs while reducing our costs through efficient raw
material and outsourced service procurement and process and product improvements. Even if we are able to increase unit sales volumes and reduce our costs per unit, there can be no assurance that we would be able to maintain or increase net revenues
or profits.

Product quality, performance and reliability problems could disrupt our business and harm our financial condition and results of
operations.

Our customers demand that our products meet stringent quality, reliability and performance standards. Despite standard testing
performed by us, our suppliers and our customers, RF components such as those we produce may contain undetected defects or flaws that may only be discovered after commencement of commercial shipments. As a result, defects or failures have in the
past, and may in the future impact our product quality, performance and reliability, leading to:



| |  |  | loss of net revenues and gross profit, and lower margins;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | delays in, or cancellations or rescheduling of, orders or shipments;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | loss of, or delays in, market acceptance of our products;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significant expenditures of capital and resources to resolve such problems;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | other costs including inventory write-offs and costs associated with customer support;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | product returns, discounts, credits issued, or cash payments to resolve such problems;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | diversion of technical and other resources from our other development efforts;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | warranty and product liability claims, lawsuits and liability for damages caused by such defects; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | loss of customers, or loss of credibility with our current and prospective customers.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New accounting standards related to equity compensation are expected to adversely affect our earnings and could have other adverse impacts.

We have historically used stock options as a fundamental component of our employee compensation packages. We believe that our employee equity plans are an essential tool to link the long-term interests of stockholders
and employees, especially executive management, and serve to motivate our employees to make decisions that will, in the long run, give the best returns to stockholders. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has announced changes to
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States that will require us to record a charge to earnings for employee stock option grants and other equity awards for all future periods beginning on January 1, 2006. We expect that the
adoption of this standard will significantly reduce our net income and earnings per share in future periods. Lower earnings may cause our stock price to fall and may affect our ability to raise capital on acceptable terms. The new accounting
standards will make it more expensive for us to grant options and other equity awards to employees in the future, and are already driving changes in our equity compensation strategy. An example would be our recently reduced use of option grants in
favor of restricted stock purchase rights, for which the calculation of related compensation expense is more predictable. There is a limited supply of such grants available under our current equity plans, and we may need to increase our ability to
make such grants or other equity incentives, or increase other forms of compensation, to adequately motivate and retain our employees. These efforts may be viewed as dilutive to our stockholders or may increase our compensation costs, and if such
efforts are unsuccessful, we may have difficulty attracting, retaining and motivating employees.

Our strategic investment in GCS, a privately held
semiconductor foundry, could be further impaired or never redeemed, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations

In the
first quarter of 2002, we invested $7.5 million in GCS, a privately held semiconductor foundry. We regularly evaluate our investment in GCS to determine if an other-than-temporary decline in value has occurred. Factors that may cause an
other-than-temporary decline in the value of our investment in GCS would include, but not be limited to, a degradation of the general business environment in which GCS operates, the failure of GCS to achieve certain performance milestones, a series
of operating losses in excess of GCS business plan, the inability of GCS to continue as a going concern or a reduced valuation as determined by a new financing event. If we determine that an other-than-temporary decline in value has occurred,
we will write-down our investment in GCS to its estimated fair value. Such a write-down could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations in the period in which it occurs. For example, in the fourth quarter of 2004 and
2002, we wrote down the value of our investment in GCS by approximately $1.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively, after determining that GCS had experienced an other-than-temporary decline in value.

The ultimate realization of our investment in GCS will be dependent on the occurrence of a liquidity event for GCS, and/or our ability to sell our GCS shares, for which
there is no public market. The likelihood of any of these events occurring will depend on, among other things, market conditions surrounding the wireless communications industry and the related semiconductor foundry industry, as well as the public
markets receptivity to liquidity events such as initial public offerings or merger and acquisition activities. Even if we are able to sell these shares, the sale price may be less than our carrying value, which could materially and adversely
affect our results of operations.

Our reliance on foreign suppliers and manufacturers and our pending acquisition of PDI exposes us to the economic
and political risks of the countries in which they are located.

Independent third parties in other countries, primarily in Thailand, Malaysia,
South Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines, package substantially all of our semiconductor products. In addition, all of our satellite antennae manufacturing is outsourced to a subcontractor in the Philippines, and we obtain some of our semiconductor
wafers from one supplier located in Germany. Due to our reliance on foreign suppliers and packagers, we are subject to the risks of conducting business outside the United States. Our pending acquisition of PDI would also expose us to risks of
conducting sizeable manufacturing operations in China and Germany. These risks include:



| |  |  | unexpected changes in, or impositions of, legislative or regulatory requirements;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | shipment delays, including delays resulting from difficulty in obtaining export licenses;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



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



| |  |  | potential hostilities and changes in diplomatic and trade relationships.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Chinese legal system lacks transparency, which gives the Chinese central and local government authorities a higher degree of control over business in China than is customary in the United States and makes the process of obtaining
necessary regulatory approval in China inherently somewhat unpredictable. In addition, the protection accorded our proprietary technology and know-how under both the Chinese and German legal systems is not as strong as in the United States and, as a
result, we may lose valuable trade secrets and competitive advantage. Also, manufacturing our products and utilizing contract manufacturers, as well as other suppliers

##### Table of Contents

throughout the Asia region, exposes our business to the risk that our proprietary technology and ownership rights may not
be protected or enforced to the extent that they may be in the United States. The cost of doing business in Germany can be higher than in the U.S. due to German legal requirements regarding employee benefits and employer-employee relations, in
particular. Although the Chinese government has been pursuing economic reform and a policy of welcoming foreign investments, it is possible that the Chinese government will change its current policies in the future, making continued business
operations in China difficult or unprofitable.

In addition, we currently transact business with our foreign suppliers and packagers in U.S. dollars.
Consequently, if the currencies of our suppliers countries were to increase in value against the U.S. dollar, our suppliers may attempt to raise the cost of our semiconductor wafers, packaging materials and services, and other materials, which
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We expect the acquisition of PDI to materially increase our risks from conducting business outside the U.S., both due to their substantial
operations in China and Germany, and their higher proportion of sales and expenses denominated in foreign currency, which will increase our exposure to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations.

Failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could adversely affect our business and the market price of our stock.

Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to assess the effectiveness of our internal
controls over financial reporting and provide a management report on our internal controls over financial reporting in all annual reports. While we currently believe our internal controls over financial reporting are effective, we are required to
comply with Section 404 on an annual basis. If, in the future, we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting during this continuous evaluation process, our management will be unable to assert such
internal controls are effective. Although we currently anticipate being able to continue to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 in a timely fashion, we cannot be certain as to the timing of completion for our future evaluation, testing and
any required remediation. If we are unable to assert that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective in the future, or if our auditors are unable to attest that our managements report is fairly stated or they are unable to
express an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal controls, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which would have an adverse effect on our business and the market price of our common
stock.

We expect to make future acquisitions, which involve numerous risks.

We have in the past and will continue to evaluate potential acquisitions of, and investments in, complementary businesses, technologies, services or products, and expect to pursue such acquisitions and investments if
appropriate opportunities arise. However, we may not be able to identify suitable acquisition or investment candidates in the future, or if we do identify suitable candidates, may not be able to make such acquisitions or investments on commercially
acceptable terms, or at all. In the event we pursue acquisitions, we will face numerous risks including:



| |  |  | difficulties in integrating the personnel, operations, technology or products and service offerings of the acquired company;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | diversion of managements attention from normal daily operations of the business;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in entering markets where competitors have stronger market positions;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in managing and integrating operations in geographically dispersed locations;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in improving the internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures and financial reporting capabilities of any acquired operations (particularly foreign and
formerly private operations) as needed to meet the high standards U.S. public companies are held to in this regard;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the loss of any key personnel of the acquired company as well as their know-how, relationships and expertise;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | maintaining customer, supplier or other favorable business relationships of acquired operations;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | insufficient net revenues to offset increased expenses associated with any abandoned or realized acquisitions; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | additional expense associated with amortization or depreciation of acquired tangible and intangible assets.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even if a proposed acquisition or alliance is successfully realized and integrated, we may not receive the expected benefits or synergies of the transaction. Past
transactions have resulted, and future transactions may result, in significant costs and expenses and charges to earnings. The accounting treatment for any acquisition may result in significant goodwill, which, if impaired, will negatively affect
our consolidated results of operations. The accounting treatment for any acquisition may also result in significant in-process research and development charges, which will negatively affect our consolidated results of operations in the period in
which an acquisition is consummated. In addition, any completed, pending or future transactions may result in unanticipated expenses or tax or other liabilities associated with the acquired assets or businesses. Furthermore, we may incur
indebtedness or issue equity securities to pay for any future acquisitions. The incurrence of indebtedness could limit our operating flexibility and be detrimental to our results of operations, and the issuance of equity securities could be dilutive
to our existing stockholders. Any or all of the above factors may differ from the investment communitys expectations in a given quarter, which could negatively affect our stock price.

If we fail to introduce new products in a timely and cost-effective manner, our ability to sustain and increase our net revenues could suffer.

The markets for our products are characterized by new product introductions, evolving industry standards and changes in manufacturing technologies. Because of this,
our future success will in large part depend on our ability to:



| |  |  | continue to introduce new products in a timely fashion;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | gain market acceptance of our products;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | improve our existing products to meet customer requirements;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adapt our products to support established and emerging industry standards;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adapt our products to support evolving wireless and wireline equipment architectures; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | access new process and product technologies.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------

We estimate that the
development cycles of some of our products from concept to production could last more than 12 months. We have in the past experienced delays in the release of new products. We may not be able to introduce new products in a timely and cost-effective
manner, which would impair our ability to sustain and increase our net revenues.

Our efforts to diversify our product portfolio and expand into new
markets have attendant execution risk.

While historically we have derived most of our net revenues from the sale of products to the mobile wireless
infrastructure market, one of our corporate strategies

##### Table of Contents

involves leveraging our core strengths in high-performance RF component design, modular design process technology and
wireless systems application knowledge to expand into new markets which have similar product performance requirements, such as the broadband wireless access, VoIP, cable, satellite radio and RFID markets. We do not have a long history in many of
these markets or in consumer-oriented markets generally, and our lack of market knowledge relative to other participants in such markets may prevent us from competing effectively in them. It is possible that our competitive strengths will not
translate effectively into these markets, or that these markets will not develop at the rates we anticipate. Any of these events could negatively affect our future operating results.

Our reliance on third-party wafer fabs to manufacture our semiconductor wafers may cause a significant delay in our ability to fill orders and limits our ability to assure product quality and to control
costs.

We do not own or operate a semiconductor fabrication facility (fab). We currently rely on five third-party wafer fabs to manufacture our
semiconductor wafers. These fabs include RF Micro Devices (RFMD) for GaAs devices, Atmel for SiGe devices, TriQuint Semiconductors for our discrete devices, GCS for our InGaP devices, and an Asian foundry that supplies us with LDMOS devices. In
2005, a majority of our semiconductors in terms of both volume and revenue were provided by Atmel, GCS and Northrop Grumman (NG) (formerly TRW).

The loss
of one of our third-party wafer fabs, or any reduction of capacity, manufacturing disruption, or delay or reduction in wafer supply, would negatively impact our ability to fulfill customer orders, perhaps materially, and has in the past and could in
the future damage our relationships with our customers, either of which could significantly harm our business and operating results.

Our contracts with
these foundries, with one exception, feature last-time buy (LTB) arrangements. An LTB arrangement typically provides that, if the vendor decides to obsolete or materially change the process by which our products are made, we will be
given prior notice and opportunity to make a last purchase of wafers in volume. While the goal of the LTB arrangement is to allow us a sufficient supply of wafers in such instances to either meet our future needs or give us time to transition our
products to, and qualify, another supply source, there can be no assurance that the volume of wafers provided for under any LTB arrangement will adequately meet our future requirements.

NG has discontinued the operation of the fabrication line on which our GaAs products have historically been made and we made a last-time buy of wafers in connection with the line shutdown. We believe that through a
combination of our current inventory and our efforts to transition customers to products using semiconductors produced by our other foundry partners, we will have a sufficient wafer supply to meet our currently anticipated customer needs. However,
there can be no assurance that sufficient supplies of such wafers will become available to the Company, or that our transitioning efforts will be successful and will not result in lost market share.

Atmel, GCS, RFMD, TriQuint and our Asian foundry are each our sole source for parts in the particular fabrication technology manufactured at their facility. GCS is a
private company with limited capital resources and operating history. Because there are limited numbers of third-party wafer fabs that use the particular process technologies we select for our products and that have sufficient capacity to meet our
needs, it would be difficult to find an alternative source of supply. Even if we were able to find an alternative source, using alternative or additional third-party wafer fabs would require an extensive qualification process that could prevent or
delay product shipments, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our reliance on these
third-party wafer fabs involves several additional risks, including reduced control over the manufacturing costs, delivery times, reliability and quality of our components produced from these wafers. The fabrication of semiconductor wafers is a
highly complex and precise process. We expect that our customers will continue to establish demanding specifications for quality, performance and reliability that must be met by our products. Our third-party wafer fabs may not be able to achieve and
maintain acceptable production yields in the future. To the extent our third-party wafer fabs suffer failures or defects, we have in the past and could in the future experience warranty and product liability claims, lost net revenues, increased
costs, and/or delays in, cancellations or rescheduling of orders or shipments, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In the past, we have at times experienced delays in product shipments, quality issues and poor manufacturing yields from our third-party wafer fabs, which in turn
delayed product shipments to our customers or resulted in product returns and related expense, higher costs of production and lower gross margins. We may in the future experience similar delays or other problems, such as inadequate wafer supply.

Our reliance on subcontractors to package our products could cause a delay in our ability to fulfill orders or could increase our cost of
revenues.

We do not package the RF semiconductor components that we sell but rather rely on subcontractors to package our products. Packaging is
the procedure of electrically bonding and encapsulating the IC into its final protective plastic or ceramic casing. We provide the wafers containing the ICs to third-party packagers. Although we currently work with five packagers, substantially all
of our Amplifier division net revenues in 2005 were attributable to products packaged by two subcontractors. We do not have long-term contracts with our third-party packagers stipulating fixed prices or packaging volumes. Therefore, in the future,
we may be unable to obtain sufficiently high quality or timely packaging of our products. The loss or reduction in packaging capacity of any of our current packagers, particularly Unisem, our current primary source for a particular, high-volume
commercial package type and Circuit Electronic Industries Public Co., Ltd. (CEI), our second source for this particular package type, would significantly damage our business. In addition, increased packaging costs would adversely affect our gross
margins and profitability.

The fragile nature of the semiconductor wafers that we use in our components requires sophisticated packaging techniques and
has in the past resulted in low packaging yields. If our packaging subcontractors fail to achieve and maintain acceptable production yields in the future, we could experience increased costs, including warranty and product liability expense and
costs associated with customer support, delays in or cancellations or rescheduling of orders or shipments, product returns or discounts and lost net revenues, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.

We may not be able to outsource the manufacture and test of our products on favorable terms, or at all, and even successful
outsourcing creates risk due to our resulting reliance on vendors.

We currently outsource a portion of our product manufacturing and testing
function, and may increasingly do so where economically viable for both the vendor and us. For example, we rely on one manufacturing partner to produce all of our satellite radio antenna products and a significant majority of our broadband products.
However, we may be unable to successfully outsource additional manufacturing and testing in the near term, or at all. The selection and ultimate qualification of subcontractors to manufacture and test our products could be costly and increase our
cost of revenues. In addition, we also do not know if we will be able to negotiate long-term contracts with subcontractors to manufacture and test our products at acceptable prices or volumes. Further, outsourcing the manufacture of a substantial
amount of our products may result in underutilization of our existing manufacturing facility, which could in turn result in a higher cost structure and lower gross margins than if we did not outsource such functions.

Even if we find suitable vendors for an outsourced manufacture or test relationship, creation of such arrangements carries risks since we have to rely on the vendor to
provide an uninterrupted source of high quality product. Because our customers have high quality and reliability standards and our components require sophisticated testing techniques, we have had problems in the past and may have difficulty in the
future in obtaining sufficiently high quality or timely manufacture and testing of our products. Whenever a subcontractor is not successful in adopting such techniques, we may experience increased costs, including warranty and product liability
expense and costs associated with customer support, delays in or cancellations or rescheduling of orders or shipments, damage to customer relationships, delayed qualification of new products with our customers, product returns or discounts and lost
net revenues, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Intense competition in our industry could prevent us from increasing net revenues and sustaining
profitability.

The RF component industry is intensely competitive in each of the markets we serve and is characterized by the following:



| |  |  | rapid technological change;
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | rapid product obsolescence;
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | limited number of wafer fabs for particular process technologies;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | price erosion; and
| | - |  | ------------------



| |  |  | unforeseen manufacturing yield and quality control problems.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------

With
respect to products sold in our Amplifier division, we compete primarily with other suppliers of high-performance RF components used in the infrastructure of communications networks such as Agilent, Hittite, M/A-COM, NEC and WJ Communications. For
our newer broadband products, we expect our most significant competitors will include Maxim Integrated Products, Microtune, Motorola, STMicroeletronics and Philips. With respect to our Signal Source division products, our primary competitors are
Alps, M/A-COM and Minicircuits. With respect to our A&D division products, our primary competitors are Hittite, M/A-COM, Spectrum Control and Teledyne. With respect to our satellite antenna sales, we compete with other manufacturers of satellite
antennas and related equipment, including M/A-COM, RecepTec and Wistron NeWeb. We also compete with communications equipment manufacturers, some of whom are our customers, who design RF components internally such as Ericsson, Lucent, Motorola, Nokia
and Nortel Networks. Competition in each of our markets is typically based on a combination of price, performance, product quality and reliability, customer support and the ability of each supplier to meet production deadlines and provide a steady
source of supply. Market share at our large OEM customers in particular tends to fluctuate from year to year based not only on our relative success compared to our competitors in finding the right balance of these factors, but also based on changes
in the willingness of customers to have only one source of supply. For example, we may have a 100% share of the supply of a particular product to a customer one year and only 50% the next based on the customer deciding to employ a second source for
risk management or other reasons not related to our performance as a supplier.

We expect continuing competition both from existing competitors and from a
number of companies that may enter the RF component market and we may see future competition from companies that may offer new or emerging technologies. In addition, future competition may come from component suppliers based in countries with lower
production costs that could translate into pricing pressures; companies that provide a more comprehensive active and passive RF component portfolio that would provide our customers with an attractive supply alternative; and IC manufacturers as they
add additional functionality at the chip level to compete with our products. Many of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing and marketing resources than we have. As a result, prospective
customers may decide not to buy from us due to their concerns about our size, financial stability or ability to interact with their logistics systems. Our failure to successfully compete in our markets would have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

A substantial portion of our products are sold to international customers, which exposes us
to numerous risks.

A substantial portion of our direct sales and sales through our distributors are to foreign purchasers, particularly in China,
Korea, Singapore, Philippines, Finland, Germany and Sweden. International sales approximated 75% of our net revenues in 2005, the majority of which was attributable to CMs and OEMs located in Asia. Demand for our products in foreign markets could
decrease, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, sales to international customers may be subject to numerous risks, including:



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



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



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



| |  |  | delays in placing orders;
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in managing distributors sales to foreign countries;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the complexity and necessity of using foreign representatives;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | compliance with a variety of foreign and U.S. laws affecting activities abroad;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | potentially adverse tax consequences;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------



| |  |  | trade disputes; and
| | - |  | -------------------



| |  |  | political, social and economic instability.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------

We are also subject to risks
associated with the imposition of legislation and regulations relating to the import or export of high technology products. We cannot predict whether quotas, duties, taxes or other charges or restrictions upon the importation or exportation of our
products will be implemented by the United States or other countries.

Because sales of our products have been denominated to date in United States
dollars, increases in the value of the United States dollar could increase the price of our products so that they become relatively more expensive to customers in the local currency of a particular country, leading our customers to order fewer of
our products, thereby reducing our sales and profitability in that country. Some of our customer purchase orders and agreements are governed by foreign laws, which may differ significantly from United States laws; therefore, we may be limited in our
ability to enforce our rights under such agreements and to collect damages, if awarded.

Sources for certain components and materials are limited,
which could result in delays or reductions in product shipments.

The semiconductor industry from time to time is affected by limited supplies of
certain key components and materials. For example, we rely on Analog Devices for the ICs utilized in the manufacture of our PLL products, and we also rely on limited sources for certain packaging materials. If we, or our packaging subcontractors,
are unable to obtain these or other materials in the required quantity and quality, we could experience delays or reductions in product shipments, which would materially and adversely affect our profitability. Although we have not experienced any
significant difficulty to date in obtaining these materials, temporary shortages and low manufacturing yields have arisen in the past may arise in the future. If key components or materials are unavailable, while we would hope to be able to remedy
through cooperation with the suppliers, locating alternate sources of supply or otherwise, our costs could increase and our net revenues could decline.

We may experience difficulties in managing any future growth.

Our ability to successfully manage our business plan in a rapidly
evolving market requires us to effectively plan and manage any future growth. Our ability to manage future growth will be dependent in large part on a number of factors, including:



| |  |  | maintaining access to sufficient manufacturing capacity to meet customer demands;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



11



---

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | arranging for sufficient supply of key components to avoid shortages of components that are critical to our products;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | hiring additional skilled technical, marketing and managerial personnel;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adhering to our high quality and process execution standards, particularly as we hire and train new employees;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | managing the various components of our working capital effectively in periods where cash on hand is limited;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | upgrading our operational and financial systems, procedures and controls, including possible improvement of our accounting and internal management systems; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------

If we are unable to
effectively manage any future growth, our operations may be impacted and we may experience delays in delivering products to our customers. Any such delays could affect our customers ability to deliver products in accordance with their planned
manufacturing schedules, which could adversely affect our customer relationships. We may also be required to build additional component inventory in order to offset expected future component shortages. If we do not manage any future growth properly,
our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Our products could infringe the intellectual
property rights of others, and resulting claims against us could be costly and require us to enter into disadvantageous license or royalty arrangements.

Our industry is characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and litigation based on allegations of patent infringement and the violation of intellectual property rights. Although we attempt to avoid infringing known
proprietary rights of third parties in our product development efforts, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims for alleged infringement by us or our licensees of third-party proprietary rights, such as patents, trade secrets, trademarks
or copyrights, from time to time in the ordinary course of business. In addition, our sales agreements often contain intellectual property indemnities, such as patent and copyright indemnities, and our customers may assert claims against us for
indemnification if they receive claims alleging that their products infringe others intellectual property rights.

Any claims relating to the
infringement of third-party proprietary rights, even if not meritorious, could result in costly litigation, divert managements attention and resources, or require us to enter into royalty or license agreements which are not advantageous to us
or pay material amounts of damages. In addition, parties making these claims may be able to obtain an injunction, which could prevent us from selling our products. We may increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of our products
grows and as we move into new markets, and in particular in consumer markets where there are many entrenched competitors and we are less familiar with the competitive landscape and prior art.

Recent changes in environmental laws and regulations applicable to manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment have required us to redesign some of our
products, and may increase our costs and expose us to liability.

The implementation of new technological or legal requirements, such as recycling
requirements and lead-free initiatives, has impacted our products and manufacturing processes, and could affect the timing of product introductions, the cost and commercial success of our products and our overall profitability. For example, a
directive in the European Union bans the use of lead, other heavy metals and certain flame retardants in electrical and electronic equipment beginning in 2006. As a result, in advance of this deadline, many of our customers have begun demanding
products that do not contain these banned substances and have indicated that they will no longer design in non-compliant components. Because most of our existing IC products utilize a tin-lead alloy as a soldering material in the manufacturing
process, our MCM products contain circuit boards plated with a tin-lead surface and certain molded active components in our MCM products are molded with a banned substance, we must redesign our products and obtain compliant raw materials from our
suppliers to respond to the new legislation and to meet customer demand.

Although we began this process in the first quarter of 2004 and have released
many compliant products to date, we have products that remain noncompliant. Due to the limited geographic coverage of the regulations and our worldwide customer base, the different rates at which various customers are moving to lead-free components,
and the fact that some leaded components remain exempt from the regulations for particular customer applications, we are not stopping all production of leaded parts on a particular scheduled date, but are making the move gradually as customer demand
dictates. We anticipate selling leaded products for some time. We may be left with excess inventory of certain leaded parts if customers for those parts move to lead-free only consumption without giving us sufficient notice. In addition, our
industry has no long-term data to assess the effectiveness, shelf-life, moisture sensitivity, and thermal tolerance of alternative materials, so we may experience product quality and performance issues as we transition our products to such
materials.

Further, for our MCM products we rely on third party suppliers, over which we have little or no control, to provide certain of the components
needed for our products to meet applicable standards. In addition, this redesign is resulting in increased research and development and manufacturing and quality control costs. If we are unable to redesign existing products and introduce new
products to meet the standards set by environmental regulation and our customers, sales of our products could decline, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Failure to comply with any
applicable environmental regulations could result in a range of consequences, including loss of sales, fines, suspension of production, excess inventory, and criminal and civil liabilities.

Another recent directive in the European Union imposes a take-back obligation on manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment. This obligation
requires manufacturers of electrical or electronic equipment to finance the collection, recovery and disposal of the electrical or electronic equipment that they produce. At this time, we are not aware of adopted legislation implementing this
directive. In addition, methods of complying with these potential take-back obligations have not been developed by our industry. Even if the specific legislation does not directly apply to us or our products and solutions, our customers could
potentially shift some of their costs to us through contractual provisions. We are unable to assess the impact of this proposed legislation on us at this time but it could result in increased costs to us, which could materially adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

Environmental regulations could subject us to substantial costs or fines, or require us to
suspend production, alter manufacturing processes or cease operations at one or more sites.

The manufacture, assembly and testing of our products
requires the use of hazardous materials that are subject to a broad array of environmental, health and safety laws and regulations governing the use, transportation, emission, discharge, storage, recycling or disposal of such materials. Failure to
comply with any such laws or regulations could result in fines, suspension of production, alteration of fabrication and assembly processes, curtailment of operations or sales, requirements to remediate land, air or groundwater and other legal
liability. Some domestic and foreign environmental regulations allow regulating authorities to impose cleanup liability on a company that leases or otherwise becomes associated with a contaminated site even though that company had nothing to do with
the acts that gave rise to the contamination. Accordingly, even if our own operations are conducted in accordance with these laws, we may incur environmental liability based on the actions of prior owners, lessees or neighbors of sites we lease now
or in the future, or sites we become associated with due to acquisitions. For example, PDIs manufacturing site in Nuremberg occupies a small portion of a large parcel formerly occupied by Alcatel and other manufacturers dating back to the
early 1900s. Chlorinated solvent and heavy metal contamination in air, soil and groundwater were identified on the former Alcatel site in the late 1980s, and pump-and-treat remediation systems have been implemented on portions of the site. While we
do not believe that this contamination resulted from the operation of PDIs business, that any additional remediation is required on the PDI site or that we or PDI have any material related liability, currently there can be no assurance that
such liability will not arise in the future.

We have a material amount of goodwill and long-lived assets, including finite-lived acquired intangible assets,
which, if impaired, could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

We have a material amount of goodwill, which is the amount by
which the cost of an acquisition accounted for using the purchase method exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is subject to a periodic impairment evaluation based on the fair value of the reporting unit. We also have a
material amount of long-lived assets, including finite-lived acquired intangible assets recorded on our balance sheet.

These assets are evaluated for
impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the related assets may not be recoverable. Any impairment of our goodwill or long-lived assets, including finite-lived acquired intangible assets,
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we lose our key personnel or are unable to
attract and retain key personnel, we may be unable to pursue business opportunities or develop our products.

We believe that our future success
will depend in large part upon our continued ability to recruit, hire, retain and motivate highly skilled technical, marketing and managerial personnel. Competition for these employees is significant. Our failure to retain our present employees and
hire additional qualified personnel in a timely manner and on reasonable terms could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, from time to time we may recruit and hire employees from our
customers, suppliers and distributors, which could damage our business relationship with these parties. Our success also depends on the continuing contributions of our senior management and technical personnel, all of whom would be difficult to
replace. The loss of key personnel could adversely affect our ability to execute our business strategy, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may not be successful in retaining
these key personnel.

The outcome of litigation in which we have been named as a defendant is unpredictable and an adverse decision in any such
matter could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

We are defendants in litigation matters
that are described under the heading Legal Proceedings in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. These claims may divert financial and management resources that would otherwise be used to benefit our operations. Although we believe that we
have meritorious defenses to the claims made in each and all of the litigation matters to which we have been named a party, and intend to contest each lawsuit vigorously, no assurances can be given that the results of these matters will be favorable
to us. An adverse resolution of any of these lawsuits, including the results of any amicable settlement, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The timing of the adoption of industry standards may negatively impact widespread market acceptance of our products.

The markets in which we and our customers compete are characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and continuous improvements in products
and services. If technologies or standards supported by us or our customers products, such as 2.5G and 3G, fail to gain widespread commercial acceptance, our business will be significantly impacted. For example, the worldwide installation of
2.5G and 3G equipment has occurred at a much slower rate than was initially expected. In addition, while historically the demand for wireless and wireline communications has exerted pressure on standards bodies worldwide to adopt new standards for
these products, such adoption generally only occurs following extensive investigation of, and deliberation over, competing technologies. The delays inherent in the standards approval process have in the past and may in the future cause the
cancellation, postponement or rescheduling of the installation of communications systems by our customers. If further delays in adoption of industry standards were to occur, in particular with respect to the anticipated rollout of 3G technology in
China, it could result in lower sales of our products and worse than expected results of operations in one or more periods.

We face several risks
associated with our Aerospace and Defense division.

In 2003 we announced the creation of our A&D business unit that targets customers in the
military, defense, avionics, space and homeland security market segments. In the first quarter of 2005, we reorganized our business segments and now report A&D as a division. Sales for this division decreased in 2005 compared to 2004. We can
make no assurance that we will be able to successfully serve the needs of potential customers in these markets or realize any significant increase in net revenues from this business in the future. Through our participation in this market, we may
make sales to companies doing business with the U.S. government as prime contractors or subcontractors. We may also do business directly with the U.S. government. In addition to normal business risks, we face several unique risks, largely beyond our
control, associated with doing business, directly or indirectly, with the U.S. government, including:



| |  |  | the reliance of our customers and us on the availability of government funding and their and our ability to obtain future government contractor awards;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the intense competition for future government contractor awards;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in government or customer priorities due to program reviews or revisions to strategic objectives;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulty of forecasting costs and schedules when bidding on developmental and highly sophisticated technical work;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability of the U.S. government to terminate, without prior notice, partially completed government programs that were previously authorized, resulting in possible termination of
our customer contracts;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significant changes in contract scheduling; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | government import and export policies and other government regulations.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------

The termination of funding for a government program for which we serve as a supplier would result in a loss of anticipated future net revenues attributable to that program. Our government business is also subject to specific procurement
regulations and a variety of socio-economic and other requirements, including necessary security clearances. These requirements, although customary in government contracts, increase our performance and compliance costs and could result in delays in
fulfilling customer orders or our inability to meet customer demand for products. Government contract performance and compliance costs might increase in the future, which could reduce our gross margins and have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our limited ability to protect our proprietary information and technology may adversely
affect our ability to compete.

Our future success and ability to compete is dependent in part upon our proprietary information and technology.
Although we have patented technology and have patent applications pending, we primarily rely on a combination of contractual rights and copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and practices to establish and protect our proprietary technology. We
generally enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, resellers, wafer suppliers, vendors, customers and potential customers, and strictly limit the disclosure and use of our proprietary information. The steps taken by us
in this regard may not be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology. Additionally, our competitors may independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology.

Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain or use our products or technology. Our ability to
enforce our patents, copyrights, software licenses and other intellectual property is limited by our financial resources and is subject to general litigation risks, as well as uncertainty as to the enforceability of various intellectual property
rights in various countries. If we seek to enforce our rights, we may be subject to claims that the intellectual property right is invalid, is otherwise not enforceable or is licensed to the party against whom we are asserting a claim. In addition,
our assertion of intellectual property rights could result in the other party seeking to assert alleged intellectual property rights of its own against us.

Some of our stockholders can exert control over us, and they may not make decisions that reflect our interests or
those of other stockholders.

Our founding stockholders control a significant amount of our outstanding common stock. In addition, in connection
with the closing of the PDI acquisition, we expect that the two controlling stockholders of PDI will be issued 7,000,000 shares of our common stock. As a result, these stockholders will be able to exert a significant degree of influence over our
management and affairs and control over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of our directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, this concentration of ownership may delay or prevent a change in
control of us and might affect the market price of our securities. In addition, the interests of these stockholders may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders.

Item 1B.Unresolved Staff Comments

Item 2.Properties

Sirenzas headquarters are located in Broomfield, Colorado where we lease an aggregate of approximately 75,000 square feet in two buildings. These buildings house our executive and administration offices and research and development,
sales and marketing, information technology, warehousing, and manufacturing, assembly and test functions. The lease for these buildings expires in June 2013, although we have an option to terminate the lease early in June 2008. We also maintain four
design centers housing general and administrative and research and development functions in California, Arizona and Texas. These design centers encompass (i) approximately 10,000 square feet of office space located in Sunnyvale, California
pursuant to a lease that expires in March 2007; (ii) approximately 21,000 square feet of office space in Richardson, Texas (of which we only utilize approximately 50%) pursuant to a lease that expires in July 2006; (iii) approximately
4,500 square feet of office space in Tempe, Arizona pursuant to a lease that expires in March 2007; and (iv) approximately 4,200 square feet of office space in Torrance, California pursuant to a lease that expires in November 2007. Sirenza also
leases small sales and marketing offices in Illinois, China and the United Kingdom. Each of our facilities is used to some degree by both our Amplifier and Signal Source divisions. Our A&D division primarily utilizes our Broomfield, Colorado
facility.

The office space in Richardson, Texas that is not being utilized by Sirenza has been partially subleased to third parties, but Sirenza remains
liable to the landlord for the difference in the monthly rental amount through the lease term and continues to be bound by the existing lease in its entirety.

Sirenzas existing leased facilities exceed Sirenzas current needs and Sirenza believes that it will be able to obtain additional commercial space as needed. Sirenza does not own any real estate.

Item 3.Legal Proceedings

In November
2001, we, various officers and certain underwriters of the Companys initial public offering of securities were named in a purported class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The suit,
In re Sirenza Microdevices, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, Case No. 01-CV-10596, alleges improper and undisclosed activities related to the allocation of shares in our initial public offering, including obtaining
commitments from investors to purchase shares in the aftermarket at pre-arranged prices. Similar lawsuits concerning more than 300 other companies initial public offerings were filed during 2001, and this lawsuit is being coordinated with
those actions (the coordinated litigation). Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on or about April 19, 2002, bringing claims for violation of several provisions of the federal securities laws and seeking an unspecified amount of
damages. On or about July 1, 2002, an omnibus motion to dismiss was filed in the coordinated litigation on behalf of the issuer defendants, of which we and our named officers and directors are a part, on common pleadings issues. On
October 8, 2002, pursuant to stipulation by the parties, the court dismissed the officer and director defendants from the action without prejudice. On February 19, 2003, the court granted in part and denied in part a motion to dismiss
filed on behalf of defendants, including us. The courts order dismissed all claims against us except for a claim brought under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933.

In June 2004, a stipulation of settlement and release of claims against the issuer defendants, including us, was submitted to the court for approval. The terms of the settlement, if approved, would dismiss and release
all claims against the participating defendants (including us). In exchange for this dismissal, D&O insurance carriers would agree to guarantee a recovery by the plaintiffs from the underwriter defendants of at least $1 billion, and the issuer
defendants would agree to an assignment or surrender to the plaintiffs of certain claims the issuer defendants may have against the underwriters. On August 31, 2005, the court granted preliminary approval of the settlement. The settlement is
subject to a number of conditions, including final court approval. If the settlement does not occur, and litigation against us continues, we believe we have meritorious defenses and intend to defend the case vigorously.

On April 16, 2003, Scientific Components Corporation d/b/a Mini-Circuits Laboratory (Mini-Circuits) filed a complaint against us in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of New York alleging, among other things, breach of warranty by us for alleged defects in certain goods sold to Mini-Circuits. Mini-Circuits seeks compensatory damages plus interest, costs and attorneys
fees. On July 30, 2003, we filed an answer to the complaint and asserted counterclaims against Mini-Circuits. Even though we believe Mini-Circuits claims to be without merit and we intend to defend the case and assert our claims
vigorously, if we ultimately lose or settle the case, we may be liable for monetary damages and other costs of litigation. Even if we are entirely successful in the lawsuit, we may incur significant legal expenses and our management may expend
significant time in the defense.

In addition, we currently are involved in litigation and regulatory proceedings incidental to the conduct of our business
and expect that we will be involved in other litigation and regulatory proceedings from time to time. While we currently believe that an adverse outcome with respect to such pending matters would not materially affect our business or financial
condition, there can be no assurance that this will ultimately be the case.

The effective date of our Registration Statement filed on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 333-31382), relating to our initial public offering of
our common stock was May 24, 2000. Public trading commenced on May 25, 2000. The offering closed on May 31, 2000. The managing underwriters of the public offering were Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown, Banc of America Securities LLC, CIBC

share.

The aggregate proceeds from the offering were $55.2 million. We paid expenses of approximately $5.4 million, of which approximately $3.9 million
represented underwriting discounts and commissions and approximately $1.5 million represented expenses related to the offering. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $49.8 million. As of December 31, 2005, approximately $47.9
million of the net proceeds have been used to fund our operating activities, purchase property and equipment, make capital lease payments and fund our acquisitions of ISG, Vari-L and Xemod and our investment in GCS. The remaining $1.9 million of net
proceeds have been invested in interest bearing cash equivalents and investments.

forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements relate to future events or our future
financial performance. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as may, will, should, expect, anticipate, intend, plan,
believe, estimate, potential, or continue, the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual events or results may differ
materially from any forward-looking statement as a result of various factors, including those described above in Item 1A under Risk Factors.

We begin MD&A with a discussion of Sirenzas overall strategy to give the reader an overview of the goals of our business and the directions in which our business and products are moving, followed by an overview of the critical
factors that affect our net revenues, cost of revenues and operating expenses. This is followed by a discussion of the critical accounting policies and estimates that we believe require the most significant judgments to be made in the preparation of
our consolidated financial statements. In the next section we discuss the results of our operations for 2005 compared to 2004 and for 2004 compared to 2003. We then provide an analysis of our cash flows, including the impact on cash of important
balance sheet changes, and discuss our financial commitments in the sections entitled Liquidity and Capital Resources and Contractual Obligations.

Company Overview

We are a supplier of RF components for the commercial communications, consumer and A&D
equipment markets. Our products are designed to optimize the reception and transmission of voice and data signals in mobile wireless communications networks and in other wireless and wireline applications. Our commercial communications applications
include components for mobile wireless infrastructure applications, wireless LANs, fixed wireless networks, broadband wireline applications such as coaxial cable and fiber optic networks, cable television set-top boxes, RFID readers, wireless video
transmitters, as well as tuner ICs and receivers and tuners for HDTV set-top boxes. Our consumer applications include antennas and receivers for satellite radio. Sales of components for the A&D end markets include components for government,
military, avionics, space and homeland security systems.

We believe a fundamental value we provide to our customers is derived from our focus on the needs
of customer specific applications, our wide array of highly engineered products in multiple technologies, and our commitment to provide our customers with worldwide sales and application engineering support.

We offer a broad line of products that range in complexity from discrete components to ICs and MCMs. Our discrete, IC and MCM products employ numerous semiconductor
process technologies, which we believe allows us to optimize our products for our customers applications.

Our annual net revenues have increased in
each of 2003, 2004 and 2005, driven by new product introductions, increased market share and the addition of complementary products through our strategic acquisitions of other companies and assets.

In the past three years we have completed two acquisitions and have a third acquisition pending as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. On February 4,
2006, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Premier Devices, Inc., or PDI, by merger for consideration consisting of 7.0 million shares of our common stock, $14.0 million in cash and $6.0 million in term notes that will mature 1
year following the closing of the transaction. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2006. PDI designs, manufactures and markets complementary RF components featuring
technologies common to existing and planned Sirenza products, and is headquartered in San Jose, California with significant manufacturing operations in both Shanghai, China and Nuremberg, Germany. This acquisition is intended to expand both the
depth and breadth of our products, extend our design and manufacturing capabilities into Asia and Europe and advance our strategic mission to diversify and expand our end markets and applications. For a description of related risks, see our
disclosure in Item 1A under Risk Factors.

On December 16, 2004, we acquired ISG, a designer of RF gateway module and IC products for
the cable TV, satellite radio and HDTV markets. This acquisition enables us to address new end markets, including HDTV and satellite radio, and broadens our product offering in the set-top box market by adding ISGs silicon-based receiver/tuner
products to our existing product lines targeting this market. Sales of the products acquired in the ISG acquisition represented a significant amount of our net revenues in 2005.

On May 5, 2003, we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed specified liabilities of Vari-L Company, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs), phase-locked loop
(PLLs) and other MCM products for the mobile wireless infrastructure market, as well as certain components for the A&D market. This acquisition strengthened our product portfolio by adding RF signal source components while strengthening our
presence in the A&D markets. The acquisition of Vari-L added a significant amount of net revenues to Sirenza subsequent to the date of the transaction. After the acquisition of Vari-L, we relocated our corporate headquarters and consolidated our
manufacturing facilities in Broomfield, Colorado, which allowed us to achieve significant operational cost synergies, primarily in operations, general and administrative and, to a more limited degree, in sales and marketing.

Historically we have utilized a divisional organization structure focused on either specific end markets and/or product types. Beginning in January of 2005, we expanded
our reporting structure by adding the A&D division to the Amplifier and Signal Source divisions. The Amplifier and Signal Source divisions are product focused while the A&D division is market focused. The Amplifier and Signal Source
divisions are generally focused on similar end markets and customers and are managed separately in order to better manage the research and development and marketing efforts for particular products. The A&D division is focused on the government,
military, avionics, space and homeland security systems end markets. The Amplifier divisions main product lines are primarily IC-based and include discrete, amplifier, low noise amplifier, power amplifier and transceiver IC products, an MCM
product line including power amplifier modules and our broadband product line, which includes our satellite radio antenna. The Signal Source divisions main product lines are MCMs used in mobile wireless infrastructure applications to generate
and control RF signals, including VCOs, PLLs, coaxial resonator oscillators (CROs), passive and active mixers, an IC-based modulator and demodulator product line and a line of signal couplers. The A&D divisions main product lines are
government and military specified versions of certain of our amplifier and signal processing components and various passive components.

For a further
description of our divisional organizational structure, see our disclosure under Note 14: Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements set forth below.

In 2006 we have moved from the three segment reporting structure described above to a structure consisting of one RF component sales segment made up of five
market-focused strategic business units: Aerospace, Defense and Homeland Security, Broadband and Consumer, Mobile Wireless, Standard Products and Wireless Access. While we will provide limited data at the strategic business unit level in our future
reports, these business units will not have separate profit and loss statements reviewed by our chief operating decision maker, and accordingly will be reported as a single segment. Following the closing of our pending acquisition of PDI, we
currently expect that PDI will also be reported as a separate segment.

Revenue Overview

Revenue Recognition

We present our revenue results as net
revenues. Net revenues are defined as our revenues less sales discounts, rebates, returns and other pricing adjustments. Historically, these revenue-related adjustments have not typically represented a significant percentage of our revenues.

We sell our products worldwide through a direct sales channel and a distribution sales channel.

Distributor Sales

Our distribution arrangements provide our
distributors with limited rights of return and certain price adjustments on unsold inventory held by them. We recognize revenues on sales to our distributors under such arrangements at the time our products are sold by the distributors to third
party customers. Our distribution channel, which accounted for 10% of total net revenues for 2005, consists of those sales made by our distribution channel partners (Avnet, Acal, RFMW, Nu Horizons and Digi-Key) under arrangements featuring such
rights of return and price adjustment terms. In the fourth quarter of 2005, we terminated our distribution relationship with Nu Horizons and entered into a worldwide distribution agreement with Digi-Key Corporation.

Direct and Reseller Sales

Sales to Avnet and Acal as resellers, and to other resellers of our products, are made pursuant to arrangements that do not include the limited rights of return and price adjustment terms applicable to our distribution sales. We generally
recognize revenue from these sales to these resellers of our products, and from sales to all other non-distribution customers, at the time product has shipped, title has transferred and no obligations remain. Our direct sales channel, which
accounted for 90% of total net revenues for 2005, consists of those sales made to all non-distributor customers and sales to resellers of our products, including sales to Avnet and Acal as resellers.

Although we have typically not experienced a delay in customer acceptance of our products, should a customer delay acceptance in the future, our policy is to delay
revenue recognition until a customer accepts the products.

Customer Concentrations

Historically, a significant percentage of our net revenues have been derived from a limited number of customers, including our distributors. Over time, both as a result of our active sales and marketing efforts and
industry-wide changes in customer buying patterns, our customer base shifted significantly toward direct sales to large wireless infrastructure original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and their contract manufacturers (CMs). One driver of this shift
is that our OEM customers have increased their outsourcing of the manufacture of their equipment to CMs, including Celestica, Flextronics, Sanmina and Solectron. As a result, we sell directly to both OEMs and CMs. Our OEM customers currently make
the sourcing decisions for our sales to CMs. When we report customer net revenues in our public announcements, we typically attribute all net revenues to the ultimate OEM customer and not the respective CM or subcontractor.

This sales trend toward large wireless infrastructure OEMs and their CMs was strengthened in 2003 by the acquisition of Vari-L, whose customers were also large
infrastructure OEMs, including Nokia, Siemens and Motorola. The addition of these customers complemented Sirenzas existing relationships with large OEM customers such as Andrew, Ericsson, Lucent and their CMs.

In 2005 we added to this customer concentration as a significant portion of our net revenues were derived from sales of our satellite radio antenna product to Kiryung
Electronics Co., Inc., and other subcontractors of SIRIUS Satellite Radio.

We believe that net revenues attributable to our global OEMs and their CMs will
continue to account for a significant portion of our net revenues in 2006, and that net revenues attributable to our satellite radio customer and its subcontractors will also account for a significant portion of our net revenues in that same period.

Diversification and Expansion Strategy

We have grown
our net revenues through the introduction of new products, increasing our market share and adding complementary products through strategic acquisitions in existing end markets and new end markets. We continue to focus on diversification efforts in
order to capitalize on new opportunities in end markets outside of the wireless infrastructure market such as cable TV, WiMax, satellite radio, HDTV, RFID and other broadband applications. We believe that sales of our products in markets outside of
wireless infrastructure, including the satellite radio market, will continue to account for a substantial portion of net revenues in 2006.

We are also
focusing on expansion in 2006, as evidenced by our pending acquisition of PDI, which is intended to expand both the depth and breadth of our product lines, and to extend our design and manufacturing capabilities into Asia and Europe. We expect that
the addition to our product portfolio of PDIs complementary RF components will accelerate our penetration into the cable TV infrastructure market and allow us to offer more complete RF solutions to our customers and PDIs, and hope that
these increased capabilities will allow us to capitalize on a trend we have seen at large OEM and CM customers for some time toward purchasing a broader range of products from fewer qualified suppliers.

Geographic Concentrations

Sales into Asia increased in each of the
last three years as a result of OEMs increasingly outsourcing their manufacturing to CMs, primarily in China. In addition, we have increased our focus and presence in China and are experiencing increased shipments to various Chinese OEM customers.
Based on these factors and our pending acquisition of PDI, which has manufacturing and sales operations in Shanghai, China, we anticipate that a large percentage of our direct sales will be in the Asia region in 2006.

Competitors

With respect to products sold in our Amplifier division,
we compete primarily with other suppliers of high-performance RF components used in the infrastructure of communications networks, such as Agilent, Hittite, M/A-COM, NEC and WJ Communications. For our newer broadband products, we expect our most
significant competitors will include Maxim Integrated Products, Microtune, Motorola, STMicroelectronics and Philips. With respect to our Signal Source division products, our primary competitors are Alps, M/A-COM and Minicircuits. With respect to our
A&D division products, our primary competitors are Hittite, M/A-COM, Spectrum Control and Teledyne. With respect to our satellite antenna sales, we compete with other manufacturers of satellite antennas and related equipment, including M/A-COM,
RecepTec and Wistron NeWeb. We also compete with communications equipment manufacturers, some of whom are our customers that design RF components internally, such as Ericsson, Lucent, Motorola, Nokia and Nortel Networks.

##### Table of Contents

For our IC products, we outsource our wafer manufacturing and packaging and then perform most of our final testing and
tape and reel assembly at our Colorado manufacturing facility. For our MCMs, we manufacture, assemble and test most of our products at our manufacturing facility in Colorado. For our satellite antenna products, we outsource our assembly and testing
to a third-party vendor.

Historically, we have relied upon a limited number of foundries to manufacture most of our semiconductor wafers for our IC
products. We have contractual agreements with most, but not all, of these suppliers in which pricing is established based on volume, and in which price, volume and other terms are reset on a periodic basis through negotiations between the parties
based on current market conditions. We source our IC packaging assembly from a limited number of established, international commercial vendors. We anticipate that we will continue to depend on a limited number of vendors for our wafer and packaging
requirements.

Generally, raw materials utilized by us for our MCM and satellite antenna products are readily available from numerous sources. These
vendors are competitive and we expect that to the extent our volumes increase, we may be able to reduce costs by obtaining better volume pricing and delivery terms.

We currently outsource a portion of our manufacturing and testing function, and may increasingly do so where economically attractive.

Gross Profit and Margin Overview

Our gross profit and gross margin percent can be influenced by a number of factors,
including, but not limited to:

1. Product features

Historically, customers have been willing to pay a premium for new or different features or functionality. Therefore, increased sales of such products in a given period are likely to have a positive effect on our gross margin percent.

2. Product type

In the markets in which we operate, IC
products have historically yielded a higher gross margin percent than MCMs and our satellite antenna products. Therefore, increased sales of IC products in a given period are likely to have a positive effect on our gross margin percent. Conversely,
increased sales of MCMs, and in particular satellite antenna products, in a given period are likely to have a negative effect on our gross margin percent.

3. Market

Our products are sold into a wide variety of markets and each of these markets has a pricing structure that is dictated by the economics
of that particular market. Therefore, the gross margin percent on our products can vary by the markets into which they are sold. Increased sales into higher margin markets in a given period will have a positive effect on our gross margin percent,
and increased sales into lower margin markets in a given period will generally have the opposite effect. This is particularly evident for our satellite antenna product, which is sold into the consumer products, or retail, market where gross margin
percentages are generally lower than those in industrial markets.

4. Sales channel

Historically, the gross margin percent on sales to our large OEM customers has been lower than the gross margin percent on sales through our distribution channel or sales to some of our smaller direct customers. This
is primarily due to the bargaining power attendant to large OEM customers based on their higher product volumes. Therefore, increased sales to our large OEM customers in a given period may have a negative effect on our gross margin percent.

5. Level of integration of the product

We have seen a trend
among our customers toward generally seeking more integrated products with enhanced functionality, which enables them to procure fewer products from fewer suppliers. These integrated products typically command a higher average selling price than our
stand-alone components. However, the manufacturing costs of these integrated products are higher, which generally results in a lower gross margin percent on sales of our integrated products in comparison to our stand-alone components. Therefore,
increased sales of our more integrated products in a given period will generally have a positive impact on our average selling prices and a negative effect on our gross margin percent.

6. The efficiency and effectiveness of our manufacturing operations

Our gross margin percent is generally lower in periods
with less volume and higher in periods with increased volume. In periods in which volumes produced internally are low, our fixed manufacturing overhead costs are allocated to fewer units, thereby negatively impacting our gross margin percent when
those products are sold. Conversely, in periods in which volumes produced internally are high, our fixed manufacturing overhead costs are allocated to more units, thereby positively impacting gross margin percent when those products are sold.

7. Provision for excess inventories

As discussed in more
detail in Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates, our cost of revenues and gross margin percent may be negatively influenced by provisions for excess inventories and positively influenced by the sale of previously written-down
inventory. These actions can have material impacts on cost of revenues, gross profit and gross margin percent.

We believe that each of the above factors
will continue to affect our cost of revenues, gross profit and gross margin percentage for the foreseeable future. In addition, the interaction of the factors listed above could have a significant period-to-period effect on our cost of revenues,
gross profit and gross margin percent.

Operating Expense Overview

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and salary-related expenses for personnel engaged in R&D activities, material costs for prototype and test units and other expenses related to
the design, development and testing of our products and, to a lesser extent, fees paid to consultants and outside service providers. We expense all of our R&D costs as they are incurred. Our R&D costs can vary significantly from quarter to
quarter depending on the timing and quantities of materials bought for prototype and test units. We believe one of our key competitive advantages is our ability to offer a broad range of highly engineered products designed to meet the needs of our
customers. Our strategy is to continue to invest in R&D at levels appropriate for our overall operating plan in order to maintain our competitive advantage. From time to time we will receive funding from our customers for non-recurring
engineering (NRE) expenses to help defray the cost of work performed at their request. We record NRE funding as a reduction to research and development expenses in the period that the customer agrees that the objective(s) established for payment of
the NRE have been achieved.

We historically have performed our R&D activities in multiple, geographically dispersed locations in North America. We
believe maintaining multiple R&D design centers allows us to attract key personnel we might not otherwise be able to hire. In addition, we believe that having stand-alone R&D centers allows the personnel there to better concentrate on their
development tasks. We plan to continue our strategy of conducting our R&D activities in multiple locations.

Sales and marketing expenses
consist primarily of salaries, commissions and salary-related expenses for personnel engaged in marketing, sales and application engineering functions, as well as costs associated with trade shows, promotional activities, advertising and public
relations. We record as an expense commissions to our external, independent sales representatives when revenues from the associated sale are recognized. We record as an expense quarterly cash incentives to internal sales employees based on the
achievement of targeted net revenue and sales-related goals.

##### Table of Contents

We intend to invest in increasing the number of direct sales personnel and application engineers supporting our customers
at levels appropriate for our overall operating plan. In particular, to support our customers, we have placed both sales personnel and application engineers in various time zones around the world. We believe that our direct sales force and
application engineers provide us with a key competitive advantage in our markets. We intend to maintain our investment in sales and marketing functions in order to sustain our advantage in this area.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and salary-related expenses for executive, finance, accounting, information technology, and
human resources personnel, as well as insurance and professional fees. We intend to invest in general and administrative expenses at levels appropriate for our overall operating plan.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates
and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ
from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Management believes the following critical accounting policies require the most
significant judgments and estimates to be made in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We also have other policies that we consider key accounting policies, such as our policies for revenue recognition, in particular the
deferral of revenue on sales to distributors, and the valuation of long-lived assets including acquisition-related intangible assets. However, we do not believe these policies currently meet the definition of critical accounting estimates, because
they do not generally require us to make estimates or judgments that are difficult or subjective.

Non-Marketable Equity Securities: In 2002, we
acquired 12.5 million shares of GCS, a privately held semiconductor foundry. The acquired shares represented 14% of the shares outstanding at the time. The investment strengthened our supply chain for InGaP semiconductor technologies. In
connection with the investment, our President and CEO joined the seven-member GCS board of directors.

We regularly evaluate our investment in GCS to
determine if an other-than-temporary decline in value has occurred. Factors that may cause an other-than-temporary decline in the value of our investment in GCS would include, but not be limited to, a degradation of the general business environment
in which GCS operates, the failure of GCS to achieve certain performance milestones, a series of operating losses in excess of GCS business plan, the inability of GCS to continue as a going concern or a reduced valuation as determined by a new
financing event. Evaluating each of these factors involves a significant amount of judgment on managements part. If we determine that an other-than-temporary decline in value has occurred, we will write down our investment in GCS to fair
value. Such a write-down could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations in the period in which it occurs. For example, in the fourth quarters of 2004 and 2002, we wrote down the value of our investment in GCS by $1.5
million and $2.9 million, respectively, after determining that GCS value had experienced an other-than-temporary decline.

The ultimate realization
of our investment in GCS will be dependent on the occurrence of a liquidity event for GCS, and/or our ability to sell our GCS shares, for which there is no public market. The likelihood of any of these events occurring will depend on, among other
things, the market conditions surrounding the wireless communications industry and the related semiconductor foundry industry, as well as the public markets receptivity to liquidity events such as initial public offerings or merger and
acquisition activities.

Valuation of Goodwill: Goodwill is initially recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the fair
value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. We perform an annual review in the third quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, to determine if the recorded goodwill is impaired.
Our impairment review process compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including the goodwill related to that reporting unit.

Our fair value methodology consists of a forecasted discounted cash flow model and a market value model. The forecasted discounted cash flow model uses estimates of revenue for the business unit, based on estimates of market segment growth
rates, estimated costs, and an estimated appropriate discount rate. These estimates are based on historical data, various internal estimates, various external market sources of information, and managements expectations of future trends. Our
market value model considers our market capitalization and market multiples of revenue for comparable companies in our industry, as determined by management. This information is derived from publicly available sources.

All of these estimates, including the selection of comparable publicly traded companies, involve a significant amount of judgment. If the fair value of the reporting
unit exceeds the carrying value of the assets assigned to that unit, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is performed. If the carrying value of the assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the
implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill must be determined and compared to the carrying value of the reporting units goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting units goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then an
impairment loss equal to the difference will be recorded. Our expectations are that the most important factor in our estimation will be our ability to accurately forecast the demand for our products.

We conducted our annual goodwill impairment analysis in the third quarter of 2005. The estimates that we used assumed that the reporting units would participate in a
gradually improving market for radio frequency components in the commercial communications and A&D equipment markets, that our share of those markets would increase, and the profitability of the reporting units would increase over time. We
concluded that we did not have any impairment of goodwill based on our forecasted discounted cash flows, our market capitalization and market multiples of revenue of comparable companies in our industry.

Excess and Obsolete Inventories: Our provision for excess inventories is based on levels of inventory exceeding the forecasted demand of such products within
specific time horizons. We forecast demand for specific products based on the number of products we expect to sell, with such assumptions dependent on our assessment of market conditions and current and expected orders from our customers,
considering that orders are subject to cancellation with limited advance notice prior to shipment. If forecasted demand decreases or if inventory levels increase disproportionately to forecasted demand, inventory write-downs may be required.
Likewise, if we ultimately sell inventories that were previously written-down, we would reduce the previously recorded excess inventory provisions which would have a positive impact on our cost of revenues, gross margin percent and operating
results.

We recorded a provision for excess inventories of $7.8 million in 2001. We subsequently began selling some of these written-down inventory
products. In 2005, we sold previously written-down inventory products with an original cost basis of approximately $259,000. As the cost basis for written-down inventories is less than the original cost basis when such products are sold, cost of
revenues associated with the sale will be lower, which results in a higher gross margin on that sale. Sales of previously written-down inventories had a positive impact on our gross margin in 2005 of less than one percentage point.

The single largest factor affecting the accuracy of our provisions for excess inventories will be the accuracy of
our end customers forecasts. Affecting these forecasts will be demand for RF communications components in our market segments. Also impacting it will be the speed at which our products are designed in or out of our customers products.

We will ultimately dispose of written-down inventories by either selling such products or scrapping them. We currently expect sales of written-down
inventory products in 2006 to be approximately equivalent to or lower than in 2005. Similarly, we anticipate that we will scrap additional written-down inventories in the near term.

Deferred Tax Assets: We perform quarterly and annual assessments of the realization of our deferred tax assets considering all available evidence, both positive and negative. Assessments of the realization of
deferred tax assets require that management make significant judgments about many factors, including the amount and likelihood of future taxable income. As a result of these assessments, we previously concluded that it was more likely than not that
our deferred tax assets would not be realized and have established a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance established in 2001 was recorded as a result of our analysis of the facts and circumstances at
that time, which led us to conclude that we could no longer forecast future U.S. taxable income under the more likely than not standard required by SFAS No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes.

We continue to evaluate the need for a valuation allowance. To the extent we continue to generate taxable income in 2006 and if our projections indicate that we are
likely to generate sufficient future taxable income, we may determine that some, or all, of our deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized, in which case we will reduce our valuation allowance in the quarter in which such
determination is made. In the quarter in which the valuation allowance is reduced, we would recognize a benefit from income taxes on our income statement.

##### Table of Contents

Net revenues increased to $64.2 million in 2005 from $61.3 million in 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to a
substantial increase in shipments of our broadband and satellite antenna products, which we obtained as part of our acquisition of ISG in December 2004. Partially offsetting this increase was a decline in market share at some of our large OEM
customers, as well as a reduction in average selling prices to our wireless infrastructure OEM customers in 2005 compared to 2004 as a result of our OEMs negotiating lower prices for 2005 and transitioning to lower priced SiGe products from higher
priced GaAs products. The reduction in average selling prices primarily impacted our Amplifier and Signal Source divisions.

Sales into Asia increased in
absolute dollars and as a percentage of net revenues in 2005 compared to 2004 primarily as a result of our OEMs increasingly outsourcing their manufacturing to contract manufacturers, primarily in China. Also contributing to the percentage increase
in sales to Asia was an increase in sales to Chinese OEM customers as a result of our continued focus in the Asia region and an increase in shipments to Asian CMs of our broadband and satellite antenna products, which we obtained as part of our
acquisition of ISG in December 2004. Sales into Europe decreased in absolute dollars and as a percentage of net revenues in 2005 compared to 2004 as a result of the continued outsourcing of our OEM customers to their contract manufacturers.

The decrease in distribution net revenues on a percentage basis in 2005 compared to 2004 was primarily attributable to our addition in 2005 of significant
revenues from direct sales of our broadband and satellite radio antenna products.

Net revenues increased to $61.3 million in 2004 from $38.5 million in
2003. This increase was primarily the result of a full year of sales of the products obtained in the acquisition of Vari-L, which closed on May 5, 2003. Net revenues attributable to our Signal Source and A&D divisions, which consist
primarily of products acquired in the Vari-L acquisition, totaled $32.5 million in 2004 compared to $14.8 million in 2003. The increased signal source product sales also were primary contributors to the net revenue increases in Asia and through our
direct sales channel. Although sales to Europe decreased as a percentage of net revenues in 2004 compared to 2003, net revenues increased in absolute dollars, largely as a result of the increase in signal source product sales.

In addition to the increase in sales attributable to our signal source and A&D products, sales of our Amplifier division products increased to $28.8 million in 2004
from $23.7 million in 2003. These increases in sales were attributable to a strengthening of customers end markets, increased market share and penetration of new market segments.

The decrease in distribution net revenues in 2004 compared to 2003 was primarily attributable to our increased focus on large OEM customers, many of whom prefer to have direct relationships with their suppliers,
including us. In addition, in 2004, we began promoting the sales of our products to Asia through one of our resellers instead of through our distribution partners.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues increased to $35.5 million in 2005 from $31.4 million in 2004 primarily as a result of a higher
proportion of our net revenues being attributable to our broadband and satellite antenna products, which typically carry a higher cost-of-sales percentage than our wireless infrastructure products. Partially offsetting this increase were lower costs
attributable to volume-related factory efficiencies and the automation of certain of our testing operations in late 2004 and the transition to SiGe products, which in addition to having lower average selling prices, also have lower costs. In
addition, in 2005, we sold previously written-down inventory products of approximately $259,000 compared to $722,000 in 2004. Operations personnel decreased to 125 at December 31, 2005 from 155 at December 31, 2004, partially driven by our
manufacturing facility automation efforts.

Cost of revenues increased to $31.4 million in 2004 from $21.3 million in 2003 primarily as a result of
additional costs associated with increased sales of our signal source and A&D products following our acquisition of Vari-L. Cost of revenues attributable to our signal source and A&D products totaled $18.5 million in 2004 compared to $9.5
million in 2003. Cost of sales within the Amplifier division increased primarily as a result of power amplifier module products, which grew to $1.9 million in 2004 compared to $714,000 in 2003. In addition, in 2004, we sold previously written-down
inventory products of approximately $722,000 compared to $1.4 million in 2003.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit decreased to $28.7 million in 2005 from $29.9 million in 2004. Gross margin decreased to 45% in 2005 from 49% in 2004. The decrease in gross profit and gross
margin were primarily attributable to the mix of products sold in 2005 compared to 2004, as described above. The gross margin on sales of our broadband and satellite antenna products are typically lower than the gross margin on sales of our
amplifier IC-based products and our Signal Source and A&D division products, and sales of our broadband and satellite antenna products represented more than 10% of our total net revenues in 2005 while representing only an insignificant amount of
our net revenues in 2004. Other contributory factors to the decrease in gross margin in 2005 compared to 2004 were lower average selling prices, primarily on sales to our wireless infrastructure OEM customers, which is a trend that may continue in
2006. Additionally, in 2005, we experienced lower sales of previously written-down inventories compared to 2004. Sales of previously written-down inventories resulted in less than a one percentage point improvement in our gross margin in 2005
compared to approximately a one percentage point improvement in our gross margin in 2004.

Gross profit increased to $29.9 million in 2004 from $17.2
million in 2003. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to additional sales of our signal source and A&D products following the acquisition of Vari-L as discussed above. In addition, we incurred relocation and related expenses
in 2003 to move operations personnel and the Sunnyvale and Tempe manufacturing facilities to Broomfield, Colorado, which did not occur in 2004. Gross margin increased to 49% in 2004 from 45% in 2003. The increase in gross margin was primarily
attributable to the achievement of operational cost synergies as a result of the consolidation of our manufacturing facilities in Broomfield, Colorado, subsequent to the Vari-L transaction, as well as volume-related factory efficiencies and the
automation of certain of our testing operations. Finally, we had a product mix in 2004 that had higher gross margins than in 2003. Partially offsetting the increase in gross margin were fewer sales of previously written-down inventories in 2004
compared to 2003. Sales of previously written-down inventories resulted in approximately a one percentage point improvement in our gross margin in 2004 compared to approximately a four percentage point improvement in our gross margin in 2003.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development.
Research and development expenses increased to $10.1 million in 2005 from $9.0 million in 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to costs of additional personnel engaged in research and development activities subsequent to the acquisition of
ISG. A full year of such costs are included in our 2005 results, while only a few weeks of such costs are present in our 2004 results due to the timing of the acquisition. Salaries and salary related expenses increased by

##### Table of Contents

approximately $846,000 in 2005 compared to 2004 primarily due to the acquisition of ISG. Other contributory factors
included additional costs associated with software maintenance, which added costs of approximately $335,000, engineering material purchases, which added costs of approximately $145,000, and higher facility costs. This increase was partially offset
by lower costs associated with depreciation, which decreased costs by approximately $210,000, as a result of certain property and equipment used in research and development activities becoming fully depreciated in 2005.

Research and development expenses increased to $9.0 million in 2004 from $8.6 million in 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to a full year of costs of
additional personnel and facilities relating to research and development activities for our signal source and A&D products, subsequent to the acquisition to Vari-L. Other contributory factors included additional costs associated with software
maintenance and equipment calibration, partially offset by a reduction in costs associated with engineering material purchases. Facility and related costs for research and development increased by approximately $305,000 and salaries and salary
related expenses increased by approximately $93,000 in 2004 compared to 2003.

Research and development personnel decreased to 60 at December 31, 2005
from 65 at December 31, 2004, however, 13 R&D employees were added in December of 2004 as a result of the acquisition of ISG.

Sales and
Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased to $7.4 million in 2005 from $7.8 million in 2004. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower costs associated with depreciation, which decreased by approximately $116,000, and lower
facility costs, which decreased by approximately $99,000. Other contributory factors included lower salaries and salary related expenses, which decreased by approximately $71,000 in 2005 compared to 2004, reduced costs associated with external
commissions due to a lower commission rate structure, which decreased by approximately $30,000, and lower sales and marketing material purchases, which decreased by approximately $29,000.

Sales and marketing expenses increased to $7.8 million in 2004 from $6.4 million in 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to the costs of additional personnel,
services, external commissions and facilities relating to the expansion of our sales and marketing functions after the acquisition of Vari-L. Other contributory factors included additional costs associated with product samples. Salaries and salary
related expenses increased by approximately $724,000 and external commissions increased by approximately $283,000 in 2004 compared to 2003. Additionally, travel costs increased by approximately $163,000 and facility and related costs increased by
approximately $146,000 in 2004 compared to 2003.

Sales and marketing and applications engineering personnel decreased to 37 at December 31, 2005 from
38 at December 31, 2004.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased to $8.1 million in 2005 from $7.8 million
in 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to costs associated with abandoned merger and acquisition and equity financing activities, which increased by approximately $358,000 and an increase in salaries and salary related expenses of
approximately $212,000. These increases were partially offset by lower professional fees (i.e. legal, accounting and Section 404 Sarbanes-Oxley Act) of $159,000 and reduced Directors and Officers insurance premiums of approximately $139,000.
General and administrative personnel decreased to 30 at December 31, 2005 from 34 at December 31, 2004.

General and administrative expenses
increased to $7.8 million in 2004 from $6.7 million in 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to a full year of costs of additional personnel, services and facilities following the acquisition of Vari-L. Salaries and salary related expenses
increased by approximately $521,000 in 2004 over 2003, including $191,000 of compensation expense related to employee equity awards. Professional fees (i.e. legal, accounting, financial printing, Section 404 Sarbanes-Oxley Act implementation,
D&O insurance) increased by approximately $217,000. Also, general and administrative facility and related costs increased by approximately $162,000. In addition, expenses related to information-technology equipment and the outfitting of our new
offices in Broomfield, CO, increased by approximately $113,000 in 2004 compared to 2003.

Amortization of Deferred Stock Compensation. During the
years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003 we recorded amortization of $0, $3,000, and $631,000, respectively, of deferred stock compensation. The deferred stock compensation was fully amortized in the first quarter of 2004.

In-Process Research and Development (IPR&D). In the fourth quarter of 2004, we recorded IPR&D charges of $2.2 million in connection with the acquisition
of ISG. Projects that qualify as IPR&D are those that have not yet reached technological feasibility and for which no alternative future use exists.

Amortization of Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets

We recorded amortization of $1.8 million in 2005, $1.5 million in 2004 and $1.2
million in 2003 related to our acquired intangible assets.

See our disclosure under Note 3: Amortizable Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets
in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements set forth below for more information pertaining to the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets.

Restructuring. In 2005, the Company recorded $56,000 to restructuring, which related to exiting of one of the Companys facilities, partially offset by proceeds received from subleasing a portion of one of the Companys
previously exited facilities. All of the activities related to the Companys prior restructurings have been completed, with the exception of $53,000 of cash expenditures related to a noncancelable lease commitment that is expected to be paid
over the respective lease term, which ends in the first half of 2006. The $53,000 of remaining accrued restructuring is recorded our consolidated balance sheet in Accrued compensation and other expenses.

In the third quarter of 2004, we entered into a sublease for a portion of one of our exited facilities. At that time we expected to receive net proceeds of $98,000 from
our sublessee over the remaining term of the lease, which expires in June 2006. Accordingly, we reduced our accrued restructuring liability in the third quarter of 2004 by $98,000. This restructuring liability adjustment was recorded through the
same statement of operations line item that was used when the liability was initially recorded, or Restructuring.

In the second quarter of
2003, as a result of the acquisition of Vari-L, the resulting new focus of Sirenza and a new management structure, we incurred a restructuring charge of $1.0 million, primarily related to a workforce reduction and costs of exiting excess facilities.
This restructuring plan was approved by management with the appropriate level of authority.

As part of the same process that led to the restructuring we
decided to reoccupy a facility in Sunnyvale, California, the costs of which had been included in our 2001 restructuring. We determined that $596,000 of our 2001 restructuring liability accrual was no longer necessary as of June 30, 2003. We
adjusted our restructuring liability accordingly. The net restructuring charge in 2003 totaled $434,000.

Impairment of investment in GCS. In the
fourth quarter of 2004 we concluded that there were indicators of an other than temporary impairment of our investment in GCS and wrote down the value of our investment in GCS by $1.5 million. See our Critical Accounting Policies and
Estimates section of this MD&A and our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information pertaining to our investment in GCS.

Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net

Interest and other income (expense), net, includes income from our cash and available-for-sale
securities, interest expense from capital lease financing obligations and other miscellaneous items. We had net interest and other income of $196,000 in 2005, $229,000 in 2004 and $383,000 in 2003. The decrease in interest and other income, net in
2005 compared to 2004 is primarily the result of the Company settling a legal dispute, which resulted in settlement and related costs of approximately $202,000. The decrease in net interest and other income in 2004 compared to 2003 was primarily
attributable to a reduction in our cash and available-for-sale securities.

Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes

We recorded a tax benefit in 2005 of $6,000. The income tax benefit represents income taxes on the earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries reduced by the reversal of previously provided federal and state minimum
taxes accrued in prior periods no longer needed. The difference between the provision for income taxes that would be derived by applying the statutory rate to our income before income taxes and the provision actually recorded is due primarily to the
impact of state and foreign taxes including other miscellaneous non-deductible items offset by the utilization of federal net operating losses and previously provided income taxes no longer needed.

We recorded a $135,000 tax provision in 2004. The income tax provision represents federal and state minimum taxes and income taxes on the earnings of certain foreign
subsidiaries. The difference between the provision for income taxes that would be derived by applying the statutory rate to our income before income taxes and the provision actually recorded is due primarily to the impact of state and foreign taxes
including other miscellaneous non-deductible items offset by the utilization of federal net operating losses.

We recorded a $125,000 benefit from income
taxes in 2003. The income tax benefit resulted from a reversal of $139,000 of previously accrued Canadian income taxes in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 in connection with the closeout of prior year Canadian income tax audits and the evaluation
by management of future Canadian income tax reserve requirements. The difference between the benefit from income taxes that would be derived by applying the statutory rate to our loss before income taxes and the benefit actually recorded is due
primarily to an increase in our valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, nondeductible amortization of stock based compensation and the net effect of the foreign income taxes incurred in taxable jurisdictions in which we operated offset by the
reversal of previously accrued Canadian income taxes.

As of December 31, 2005, we had deferred tax assets of approximately $37.7 million. We have
evaluated the need for a valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. As of December 31, 2005, we had no ability to realize
our deferred tax assets through carrybacks or available tax planning strategies. Additionally, based on cumulative pre-tax losses we have sustained in the three years ended December 31, 2005 and the current economic uncertainty in our industry
that limits our ability to generate verifiable forecasts of future domestic taxable income, a valuation allowance in an amount equal to our net deferred tax assets was recorded as of December 31, 2005. The valuation allowance increased by
approximately $1.1 million in 2005, decreased by approximately $4.7 million in 2004 and increased by $4.9 million in 2003.

Approximately $5.7 million of
the valuation allowance is attributable to acquisition-related items, if and to the extent realized in future periods, will first reduce the carrying value of goodwill, next reduce the carrying value of other long-lived intangible assets of our
acquired subsidiary and lastly reduce income tax expense. The valuation allowance also includes approximately $15.6 million of a tax benefit associated with stock option deductions. This amount will be credited to paid-in capital when and if the
benefit is realized.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $69.8
million, which expire beginning in 2019. The Company also has state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $17.9 million, which expire beginning in 2006. The Company also has federal and California research and development tax credits of
$1.3 million and $729,000. The federal research credits will begin to expire in 2011 and the California research credits have no expiration date.

Utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and
similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards before utilization. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has reviewed the impact of these rules to the
utilization of its net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and currently has the ability to use these carryforwards without limitation. The Companys ability to use these carryforwards without limitation in the future is subject to
change based on the application of these rules in the Internal Revenue Code.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations primarily through the private sale in 1999 of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock (which was subsequently converted to
common stock) and from the net proceeds received upon completion of our initial public offering in May 2000. As of December 31, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of $11.3 million and short-term investments of $7.0 million. As of
December 31, 2005, our working capital approximated $29.0 million. In addition, we had $800,000 of restricted cash as of December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2005, we did not have any short-term or long-term debt.

Net cash used in, provided by operating activities

Operating
activities provided cash of $7.3 million in 2005, $4.9 million in 2004 and used cash of $6.5 million in 2003. In 2005, the primary sources of cash were net income, as adjusted for non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization and an increase in
accounts payable. Uses of cash in 2005 were increases in accounts receivable and inventories and decreases in accrued restructuring.

Our accounts
receivable were $888,000 higher at the end of 2005 compared to the end of 2004. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily attributable to the increase in sales in the fourth quarter of 2005 to $19.5 million from $15.1 million in fourth
quarter of 2004.

Our days sales outstanding decreased to 55 days in the fourth quarter of 2005 from 66 days in the fourth quarter of 2004. Our DSOs
were positively impacted by collecting a significant amount of the accounts receivable related to the acquisition of ISG and more linear shipments in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Inventories increased to $9.0 million at December 31, 2005 from $8.5 million at December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to a build in inventory in order to support our increased level of
sales as we exited 2005 and based upon our projected first quarter of 2006 shipments.

Our inventory turns increased to 4.8 in the fourth quarter of 2005
from 3.6 in the fourth quarter of 2004. The increase in inventory turns was primarily attributable to an increase in demand for our products and a reduction in inventory acquired from ISG at the end of 2004.

Accounts payable increased to $5.0 million at December 31, 2005 from $3.1 million at December 31, 2004. The increase in accounts payable in 2005 was primarily
attributable to an increase in purchasing activity related to builds of broadband and satellite antenna products.

Accrued restructuring decreased to
$53,000 at December 31, 2005 from $518,000 at December 31, 2004. Accrued restructuring decreased by $516,000 due to severance payments made to terminated employees and lease commitment payments, adjustments made to our restructuring
liability of $38,000, which were partially offset by an $89,000 increase to our restructuring liability in the third quarter of 2005. The $53,000 of remaining accrued restructuring is recorded on our consolidated balance sheet in Accrued
compensation and other expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $327,000 in 2005 and $11.5 million in 2004, and net cash
provided by investing activities totaled $481,000 in 2003. The use of cash in investing activities in 2005 was for purchases of capital equipment ($1.3 million), partially offset by sales of available-for-sale securities, net. The primary use of
cash in investing activities in 2004 was for the purchase of ISG ($6.7 million), purchases of capital equipment ($2.8 million) and the purchase of available-for-sale securities, net ($2.0 million).

As a result of our acquisition of ISG at the end of 2004, additional cash consideration of up to $7,150,000 may become due and payable for the achievement of margin
contribution objectives attributable to sales of selected products for periods through December 31, 2007. The first installment of any such payments would be due in 2006 if earned, and would be a maximum amount of $1.15 million. Additional
payments of up to $3.0 million each may be paid in 2007 and 2008. As discussed in Note 8: Contingencies in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements set forth below, at December 31, 2005 we determined it to be probable that the
full earn-out of $1.15 million related to the year ended December 31, 2005 would be paid in 2006. Accordingly, we accrued for the expected payment of the earn-out on our consolidated balance sheet in Accrued compensation and other
expenses and correspondingly increased goodwill by $1.15 million.

##### Table of Contents

In 2003 we used cash of approximately $7.6 million related to our acquisition of Vari-L.

The capital expenditures of $1.3 million in 2005 referred to above primarily related to additional automation equipment for our Broomfield, Colorado manufacturing
facility and mask set purchases related to the production releases of a number of new products in 2005. The capital expenditures of $2.8 million in 2004 were primarily related to capital expenditures factory automation equipment for the plant in
Broomfield. We expect that our capital expenditures for 2006 will increase from 2005 as we continue to invest in manufacturing equipment and production mask sets.

Cash provided by financing activities totaled $1.8 million for 2005 compared to $1.6 million in 2004 and $624,000 in 2003. The major financing inflow of cash in all three years was related to proceeds from employee stock plans. The
major financing use of cash in all three years was for principal payments on capital lease obligations. As of December 31, 2005, we did not have any capital lease obligations. We expect cash provided by employee stock plans in 2006 to be higher
than 2005, however, this number can vary widely depending on the price of our stock and the cash needs of our employees.

Our pending acquisition of PDI is
expected to close in the second quarter of 2006, and we expect to pay $14.0 million in cash to the PDI shareholders at closing, and also to issue them promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of $6.0 million, bearing 5% simple interest
per annum paid monthly and maturing in one year. We expect to pay these amounts from our current cash and investments and cash generated from our future operations. The PDI acquisition will significantly reduce our cash and investments in the
quarter in which the transaction closes and the quarter in which the notes are repaid.

Based on current macro-economic conditions and conditions in the
commercial communications, consumer and A&D equipment markets, the current company structure and plans for the acquisition of PDI and our current outlook for 2006, we expect that we will be able to fund our working capital and capital
expenditure needs from the cash generated from operating and financing activities for at least the next 12 months. Other sources of liquidity that may be available to us are the leasing of capital equipment, a line of credit at a commercial bank, or
the sale of our securities. The issuance of any additional shares would result in dilution to our existing stockholders. If we draw on the other sources of liquidity and capital resources noted above to grow our business, execute our operating
plans, or acquire complementary technologies or businesses, it could result in increased expense and lower profitability.

Contractual Obligations

As of December 31, 2005, our contractual obligations, including payments due by period, were as follows (in thousands):

|(1) | Total does not include certain purchase obligations as discussed in the three paragraphs immediately below.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Purchase commitments are defined as agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including
open purchase orders. We include in purchase commitments contractual obligations we have with our vendors who supply us with our wafer requirements for IC-based products. Because the wafers we purchase are unique to these suppliers and involve
significant expense, our agreements with these suppliers prohibit cancellation subsequent to the production release of the products in our suppliers manufacturing facilities, regardless of whether our end customers cancel orders with us or our
requirements are reduced. Purchase orders or contracts for the purchase of raw materials, other than wafer requirements for IC-based products, and other goods and services are not included in the table above. We are not able to determine the
aggregate amount of such purchase orders that represent contractual obligations, as purchase orders may represent authorizations to purchase rather than binding agreements. Our purchase orders are based on our current manufacturing needs and are
generally fulfilled by our vendors within short time horizons. Except for wafers for our IC-based products, we do not have significant agreements for the purchase of raw materials or other goods specifying minimum quantities or set prices that
exceed our expected requirements for three months.

The total indicated in the table above does not include $14.0 million in cash and $6.0 million in
promissory notes to be issued to shareholders of PDI pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger related to our proposed acquisition of PDI dated February 4, 2006. It also does not include any earn-out payments related to our 2004 acquisition
of ISG that may subsequently become payable in 2007 and 2008 if contractually earned.

We expect to fund these commitments with cash and cash equivalents
and short-term investments on hand, cash flows from operations and cash flows from financing activities. The expected timing of payments of the obligations discussed above is based upon current information. Timing and actual amounts paid may be
different depending on the time of receipt of goods, changes to agreed-upon amounts for some obligations and the closing of the transaction with PDI.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2005 we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in
Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123(R). SFAS No. 123(R) requires employee share-based equity awards to be accounted for under the fair value
method, and eliminates the ability to account for these instruments under the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25 and allowed under the original provisions of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123(R) requires the
use of an option pricing model for estimating fair value, which is then amortized to expense over the service periods. SFAS No. 123(R) allows for either modified prospective recognition of compensation expense or modified retrospective
recognition. In the first quarter of 2006, the Company began to apply the modified prospective recognition method and implemented the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). The modified prospective method requires that compensation expense be recorded
for all unvested stock options commencing January 1, 2006. We are currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS 123(R) and expect that the adoption of SFAS 123(R) will significantly reduce our net income and earnings per share in future
periods.

Item 7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Although 75% of our sales were to non-U.S. based customers and distributors in 2005, all sales continue to be denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result, we have not had
any material exposure to factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We expect sales into foreign markets to continue at current levels or increase in future periods, particularly in Europe and Asia. Because Sirenzas sales are
denominated in U.S. dollars, a strengthening of the U.S. dollar could make its products less competitive in foreign markets. Alternatively, if the U.S. dollar were to weaken, it would make our products more competitive in foreign markets, but could
result in higher prices from our foreign vendors.

At December 31, 2005, our cash and cash equivalents consisted primarily of bank deposits, federal
agency and related securities and money market funds issued or managed by large financial institutions in the United States. We did not hold any derivative financial instruments. Our interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of
interest rates. In this regard, changes in interest rates can affect the interest earned on our cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments. For example, assuming that our cash and available-for-sale investments balance at December 31,
2005 remains unchanged, a one percent increase or decrease in interest rates would increase or decrease Sirenzas annual interest income by approximately $182,000.

Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors
of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility
of human error and the circumvention or overriding of internal control. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation, and may not prevent
or detect all misstatements. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the
framework inInternal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting
was effective as of December 31, 2005.

Our managements assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2005 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm which also audited the Companys consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Ernst & Young LLPs attestation report on managements assessment of the Companys internal control over financial reporting is included on page 30 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Sirenza Microdevices, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sirenza Microdevices, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index as
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 Sirenza
Microdevices, Inc. at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, 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.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Sirenza Microdevices
Inc.s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report
dated March 13, 2006, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Sirenza Microdevices, Inc.

We
have audited managements assessment, included in Item 8 in Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Sirenza Microdevices, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Sirenza Microdevices, Inc.s management is
responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on managements assessment and
an opinion on the effectiveness of the companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

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

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

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

In
our opinion, managements assessment that Sirenza Microdevices, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in
our opinion, Sirenza Microdevices, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Sirenza
Microdevices, Inc. as of December 31, 2005, and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, and our report dated
March 13, 2006, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

SIRENZA MICRODEVICES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

The Company, which is incorporated in Delaware, is a leading designer and supplier of high performance radio
frequency (RF) components for the commercial communications, consumer and aerospace and defense (A&D) equipment markets. The Companys products are designed to optimize the reception and transmission of voice and data signals in mobile
wireless communications networks and in other wireless and wireline applications. We sell our products worldwide through a direct sales channel and a distribution sales channel. A substantial portion of our direct sales and sales through our
distributors are to international customers. For our IC products, we outsource our wafer manufacturing and packaging and then perform final testing and tape and reel assembly at our Colorado manufacturing facility. We manufacture, assemble and test
most of our MCMs at our manufacturing facility in Colorado. We currently outsource a portion of our manufacturing and testing function to foreign subcontractors, and may increasingly do so where economically attractive.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company uses the U.S. dollar as its functional currency for its foreign wholly owned subsidiaries in Canada and the United Kingdom and its representative offices in
China and India. All monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at the current exchange rate at the end of the period, nonmonetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at historical exchange rates and revenues and expenses are remeasured at
average exchange rates in effect during the period. Transaction gains and losses resulting from the process of remeasurement were not material in any period presented.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances in order to conform to the current
year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and such differences could be material.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from product sales to customers, other than distributors, is generally recognized at the
time the product is shipped, title has transferred and no obligations remain. In circumstances where a customer delays acceptance of our product, the Company defers recognition of the revenue until acceptance. To date, the Company has not had
customers delay acceptance of its products. A provision is made for estimated product returns as shipments are made.

The Company grants its distributors
limited rights of return and certain price adjustments on unsold inventory held by the distributors. Under the Companys rights of return policy, its distributors may exchange product currently in their inventory for other Company products. In
practice, the Company will exchange a reasonable amount of inventory if requested by its distributors.

Under the Companys price adjustment policy,
the Company will accept credits from its distributors on previous sales to them. These credits are designed to allow the distributors to pass back to the Company discounts they granted to their end customers due to competitive pricing situations. In
practice, the Company will accept reasonable credit requests from its distributors.

The Company recognizes revenues on sales to distributors under
agreements providing for rights of return and price protection, at the time its products are sold by the distributors to third party customers. The Company defers both the sale and related cost of sale on any product that has not been sold to an end
customer. The Company records the deferral of the sale on any unsold inventory products at its distributors as a liability and records the deferral of the related cost of sale as a contra liability, the net of which is presented on the
Companys balance sheet as Deferred margin on distributor inventory.

Advertising Expenses

The Company expenses its advertising costs in the period in which they are incurred. Advertising expense was $207,000 in 2005, $222,000 in 2004, and $247,000 in 2003.

Shipping and Handling

Costs related to the shipping
and handling of the Companys products are included in cost of sales for all periods presented.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Cash,
Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments

The Company classifies investments as cash equivalents if they are readily convertible to cash and have
original maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition. The Companys cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of bank deposits, federal agency related securities and money market funds issued or managed by large financial
institutions in the United States. Fair values of cash equivalents approximate cost due to the short period of time to maturity.

Investments are
designated as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. All of the Companys available-for-sale investments are classified as short-term
investments regardless of maturity dates based on managements intent with regard to those securities being available for current operations. The Companys available-for-sale investments consist primarily of federal agency related
securities with a rating of AAA, as rated by Moodys, Standard & Poors and other such agencies. The estimated fair market values of available-for-sale investments are based on quoted market prices. The cost of available-for-sale
investments sold is based on the specific identification method. Realized gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale investments are recorded in interest and other income, net and were not significant for any period presented.

The Company monitors its available-for-sale investments for impairment on a periodic basis. In the event that the carrying value of an available-for-sale investment

exceeds its fair value and the decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is
recorded and a new cost basis is established. In order to determine whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary, the Company evaluates, among other factors: the duration and extent to which the fair value has been less than the carrying
value; the Companys intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value; and investment ratings as determined primarily by Moodys and Standard &
Poors.

Available-for-sale investments at December 31, 2005 and 2004 were as follows (in thousands):

Concentrations of Credit Risk, Customers and Suppliers

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts
receivable and restricted cash. The Company places its cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash with high-credit-quality financial institutions, investing primarily in money market accounts and federal agency related securities.
The Company has established guidelines relative to credit ratings, diversification and maturities that seek to maintain safety and liquidity. The Company has not experienced any material losses on its cash equivalents, short-term investments or
restricted cash.

Accounts receivable are primarily derived from revenue earned from customers located in the United States, Europe and Asia. Sales to
foreign customers are denominated in U.S. dollars, minimizing currency risk to the Company. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers financial condition and generally requires no collateral from its customers. The
Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected collectibility of accounts receivable. Due to the Companys credit evaluation and collection process, bad debt expenses have not been significant however, the Company
is not able to predict changes in the financial stability of its customers. Any material change in the financial status of any one or a particular group of customers could have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations.
At December 31, 2005 two customers with worldwide operations accounted for 14% and 13% of gross accounts receivable, respectively. Fair values of accounts receivable approximate cost due to the short period of time to collection.

A relatively small number of customers account for a significant percentage of the Companys net revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2005, two customers
accounted for approximately 13% and 11% of net revenues, respectively. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Companys top ten customers accounted for approximately 70% of net revenues. For the year ended
December 31, 2004, four customers accounted for approximately 17%, 14%, 13% and 11% of net revenues, respectively. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2004, the Companys top ten customers accounted for approximately 79% of
net revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2003, two customers accounted for approximately 16% and 12% of net revenues, respectively. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Companys top ten customers accounted for
approximately 80% of net revenues. The Company expects that the sale of its products to a limited number of customers will continue to account for a high percentage of net revenues for the foreseeable future.

Currently, the Company relies on a limited number of suppliers of materials and labor for the significant majority of its Amplifier division product inventory but is
pursuing alternative suppliers. In addition, the Company relies on one manufacturing partner to produce all of its satellite radio antennae and a significant majority of its broadband products. As a result, should the Companys current
suppliers or manufacturing partner not produce and deliver inventory for the Company to sell on a timely basis, operating results may be adversely impacted.

Concentrations of Other Risks

The Companys results of operations are affected by a wide variety of factors, including general
economic conditions, both domestic and international; economic conditions specific to the communications and A&D industries, in particular the communications infrastructure markets; demand for the Companys products; the ability of the
Company to mitigate downward pricing pressure related to the products it sells; the timely introduction of new products; the ability to manufacture reliable, high-quality products efficiently; manufacturing capacity; the ability to safeguard
intellectual property and secure patents in a rapidly evolving market; and reliance on wafer fabrication and assembly subcontractors, distributors and sales representatives. As a result, the Company experiences substantial period-to-period
fluctuations.

Accounts Receivable

The Companys allowance for doubtful accounts was $102,000 at December 31, 2005 and $106,000 at December 31, 2004.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost, which approximates actual (first-in, first-out method) or market (estimated net realizable
value).

The Company plans production based on orders received and forecasted demand and must order wafers and raw material components and build
inventories well in advance of product shipments. The valuation of inventories at the lower of cost or market requires the use of estimates regarding the amounts of current inventories that will be sold. These estimates are dependent on the
Companys assessment of current and expected orders from its customers, including consideration that orders are subject to cancellation with limited advance notice prior to shipment. Because the Companys markets are volatile, and are
subject to technological risks and price changes as well as inventory reduction programs by the Companys customers and distributors, there is a risk that the Company will forecast incorrectly and produce excess inventories of particular
products. This inventory risk is compounded because many of the Companys customers place orders with short lead times. As a result, actual demand will differ from forecasts, and such a difference has in the past and may in the future have a
material adverse effect on actual results of operations.

The Company sold previously written-down inventory products with an original cost basis of
approximately $259,000, $722,000, and $1.4 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. As the cost basis for written-down inventories is less than the original cost basis when such products are sold, cost of revenues associated with the sale will
be lower, which results in a higher gross margin on that sale. Sales of previously written-down inventories increased the Companys gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2005 by less than one percentage point. The Company may sell
previously written-down inventory products in future periods, which would have a similarly positive impact on the Companys results of operations. As of December 31, 2005, the balance of written-down inventory products for our historical
Amplifier division products was approximately $2.7 million.

The components of inventories, net of written-down inventories and reserves, are as follows

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Property and equipment are depreciated for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
machinery and equipment, 2  5 years; computer equipment and software, 2  5 years; furniture and fixtures, 3  7 years; vehicles, 3 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line
method over the shorter of the useful lives of the assets or the terms of the leases. Our most significant facility lease in Broomfield, Colorado expires in 2008 and provides the Company with an option to extend the lease for an additional five
years through 2013. We are amortizing our Broomfield, Colorado leasehold improvements over the initial term of the lease, which is scheduled to conclude in 2008.

Business Combinations

All of the Companys business combinations have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The Company allocates the purchase price of its business combinations to the tangible assets, liabilities and intangible assets
acquired, including in-process research and development (IPR&D), based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. The fair value assigned to intangible assets acquired is
based on established valuation techniques using estimates and assumptions made by management.

Goodwill

The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually in the third quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not
be recoverable. The Company utilizes a two-step impairment test to perform its impairment analysis. In the first step, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. The Company estimates the fair value of each of its
reporting units based on an approach that takes into account forecasted discounted cash flows, market capitalization and market multiples of revenue for comparable companies in our industry. The Companys fair value approach involves a
significant amount of judgment, particularly with respect to the assumptions used in our discounted cash flows, and to a lesser extent, the selection of comparable publicly traded companies used in our market multiple of revenue analysis. If the
fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the assets assigned to that unit, goodwill

is not impaired and no further testing is performed. If the carrying value of the assets assigned to the reporting unit
exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the second step is performed, and the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill is determined and compared to the carrying value of the reporting units goodwill. If the carrying
value of a reporting units goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then an impairment loss equal to the difference is recorded.

The Company
conducted its annual goodwill impairment analysis in the third quarters of 2005, 2004 and 2003 and concluded its goodwill was not impaired in any of those periods.

Long-Lived Assets Including Finite-Lived Purchased Intangible Assets

Purchased intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their
estimated economic lives.

Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment and purchased intangible assets with finite lives, are evaluated for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the fair value of the assets based on the future cash flows the assets are expected to generate and
recognizes an impairment loss when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset (if any) are less than the carrying value of the asset. If it is
determined that long-lived assets are impaired, the Company reduces the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred income tax assets
and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The
Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Due to the Companys inability to forecast sufficient future taxable income, the Company recorded a
valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of its net deferred tax assets to zero.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has elected to account for its employee stock plans in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees (APB Opinion No. 25), as amended by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 44 (FIN 44), Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation an interpretation of APB Opinion
No. 25, and to adopt the disclosure-only provisions as required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123). Under APB Opinion No. 25, as amended by
FIN 44, when the exercise price of the Companys employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

Pro forma information regarding net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share is required under SFAS 123 and is calculated as if the Company had accounted for its employee and director stock options (including
shares issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan) granted subsequent to December 31, 1994, under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The fair value of options granted in 2005, 2004 and 2003 has been estimated at the date of grant using a
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:



|                                    |  |      |   |  |      |   |  |      |

|Dividend yield                      |  | 0    | % |  | 0    | % |  | 0    | %
|                                    |  |      |  
|Employee Stock Purchase Plan Shares |  | 2005 |   |  | 2004 |   |  | 2003 |  
|Expected life (in years)            |  | 0.5  |   |  | 0.5  |   |  | 0.5  |  
|Risk-free interest rate             |  | 3.3  | % |  | 1.5  | % |  | 1.1  | %
|Volatility                          |  | 0.62 |   |  | 0.71 |   |  | 1.07 |  
|Dividend yield                      |  | 0    | % |  | 0    | % |  | 0    | %

As discussed above, the valuation models used under SFAS 123 were developed for use in estimating the fair value
of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the option and stock price volatility. Because the
Companys options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in managements opinion, the existing models
do not provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its options. The weighted average estimated fair value of employee and director options granted during 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $3.32, $4.05, and $1.87 per share, respectively. The
weighted average estimated fair value of shares granted under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan during 2005, 2004, and 2003 was $0.99, $0.93, and $0.98, respectively.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation, as
amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosures (SFAS 148). For purposes of this pro-forma disclosure, the value of the options is amortized ratably
to expense over the options vesting periods and the tax effect of stock-based employee compensation expense is zero.

Effective August 12, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved accelerated
vesting of certain unvested and out-of-the-money stock options issued on October 22, 2004 to current employees and executive officers of the company. The members of the Companys Board of Directors, including the Companys
Chief Executive Officer, did not receive any acceleration of vesting as part of this action. As a result of the vesting acceleration, options to purchase approximately 588,000 shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $4.58
per share have become immediately exercisable. These options would otherwise have vested in annual and monthly increments through 2008. The decision to accelerate unvested options was made primarily to reduce compensation expense that might be
recorded in future periods under SFAS No. 123(R). The impact of the acceleration is included in the determination of pro forma net loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 in the table above.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2004, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123(R). SFAS No. 123(R) requires employee share-based equity awards to be accounted for under the fair value method, and eliminates the ability to account for these
instruments under the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25 and allowed under the original provisions of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123(R) requires the use of an option pricing model for estimating fair value,
which is then amortized to expense over the service periods. SFAS No. 123(R) allows for either modified prospective recognition of compensation expense or modified retrospective recognition. In the first quarter of 2006, the Company began
to apply the modified prospective recognition method and implemented the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). The modified prospective method requires that compensation expense be recorded for all unvested stock options commencing January 1,
2006. We are currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS 123(R) and expect that the adoption of SFAS 123(R) will significantly reduce our net income and earnings per share in future periods.

2. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes basic net income
(loss) per share by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the
period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potential common stock equivalents outstanding during the period, if dilutive. Potential common stock equivalents include incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the
exercise of stock options and employee stock awards.

The shares used in the computation of the Companys basic and diluted net income (loss) per
common share were as follows (in thousands):



|                                                              |  |        |  |        |  |       
|------------------------------------------------------------- |  | ------ |  | ------ |  | ------
|                                                              |  | 2005   |  | 2004   |  | 2003  
|Weighted average common shares outstanding                    |  | 35,828 |  | 34,593 |  | 32,383
|Dilutive effect of employee stock options and awards          |  | 1,975  |  | 2,855  |  |      
|                                                              |  |        |  |        |  |       
|Weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution |  | 37,803 |  | 37,448 |  | 32,383
|                                                              |  |        |  |        |  |       

Weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution, includes the incremental shares that would be
issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options. For 2005, approximately 1.5 million of the Companys stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share because the exercise prices of the stock options were
greater than or equal to the average price of the common shares, and therefore their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive (455,000 in 2004). These options could be dilutive in the future if the average share price increases and is equal to or
greater than the exercise price of these options.

The effects of options to purchase 4,965,171 shares of common stock at average exercise prices of $1.91
for the year ended December 31, 2003 have not been included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share as the effect would have been antidilutive.

3. Amortizable Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets

Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets
aggregated $1.8 million, $1.5 million and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets in the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 included
amortization associated with the Companys acquisitions of Vari-L, Xemod and ISG. The amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets in the year ended December 31, 2003 included amortization associated with the Companys
acquisitions of Vari-L and Xemod. Acquisition-related intangible assets related to the ISG acquisition are being amortized over the periods in which the economic benefits of such assets are expected to be used. Acquisition-related intangible assets
related to the Vari-L and Xemod acquisitions are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which management believes to reasonably reflect the pattern over which the economic benefits are being derived.

The Companys acquisition-related intangible assets were as follows (in thousands, except weighted average amortization period data):

4. Goodwill

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2005 are as follows (in thousands):



|                                |  |                   |       |                       |   |                            |  |       |     |  |   |

The Amplifier division goodwill adjustments above primarily relate to the accrual of $1.15 million for the 2005
ISG earn-out in the third quarter of 2005, partially offset by reductions in inventory valuation reserves. Prior to the closing of the ISG acquisition, ISG had recorded an inventory valuation reserve of approximately $358,000 for the excess of cost
over estimated net realizable value related to certain inventory products that were to be used for a specific application for which ISG was not qualified by the customer to manufacture such products. In the second quarter and third quarters of 2005,
the Company was able to sell $349,000 of this inventory and as a result, reduced its inventory valuation reserve and goodwill accordingly.

5.
Investment in GCS

In the first quarter of 2002, the Company converted an outstanding loan receivable of approximately $1.4 million and invested cash of
approximately $6.1 million in Global Communication Semiconductors, Inc. (GCS), a privately held semiconductor foundry, in exchange for 12.5 million shares of GCS Series D-1 preferred stock valued at $0.60 per share. In connection with the
investment, the Companys President and CEO joined GCS seven-member board of directors.

The Company accounts for its investment in GCS under
the cost method of accounting and has classified the investment as a non-current asset on its consolidated balance sheet.

The Company regularly evaluates
its investment in GCS to determine if an other than temporary decline in value has occurred. Factors that may cause an other than temporary decline in the value of the Companys investment in GCS would include, but not be limited to, a
degradation of the general business environment in which GCS operates, the failure of GCS to achieve certain performance milestones, a series of operating losses in excess of GCS business plan, the inability of GCS to continue as a going
concern or a reduced valuation as determined by a new financing event. There is no public market for securities of GCS, and the factors mentioned above require management to make significant judgments about the fair value of the GCS securities.

In the fourth quarters of 2004 and 2002, the Company determined that an other than temporary decline in value of its investment had occurred. Accordingly,
the Company recorded a charge of approximately $1.5 million in 2004 and $2.9 million in 2002 to reduce the carrying value of its investment to its estimated fair value. The fair value has been estimated by management and may not be reflective of the
value in a third party financing event.

The ultimate realization of the Companys investment in GCS will be dependent on the occurrence of a
liquidity event for GCS, and/or our ability to sell our GCS shares, for which there is currently no public market. The likelihood of any of these events occurring will depend on, among other things, the market conditions surrounding the wireless
communications industry and the related semiconductor foundry industry, as well as the public markets receptivity to liquidity events such as initial public offerings or merger and acquisition activities. Even if the Company is able to sell
its GCS shares, the sale price may be less than carrying value of the investment, which could have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated results of operations.

The Company purchased materials used in production and research and development from GCS in 2005, 2004 and 2003 totaling $608,000, $632,000 and $374,000, respectively.

6. Restricted Cash

The Company entered into a facility lease in
Broomfield, Colorado in 2003 that required the Company to maintain a $1.0 million irrevocable letter of credit as a security deposit. On the second anniversary of the commencement date of the lease (June 1, 2005), and in each succeeding anniversary,
provided that no event of default exists, the letter of credit may be reduced by $200,000. The letter of credit was reduced by $200,000 in June of 2005 with the remaining $800,000 included on our consolidated balance sheet as Other non-current
assets.

7. Commitments

The Company leases its
facilities under operating lease agreements, which expire at various dates through 2008. Our lease in Broomfield, Colorado has an option to extend the lease in 2008 for an additional five years. If the Company elects not to extend the lease, it may
be subject to an early termination penalty of $775,000, subject to negotiation. Based on current commercial real estate market conditions in the Broomfield, Colorado area, we believe that we may be able to renegotiate the terms of the lease on more
favorable terms in the event we chose not to renew. Future minimum lease payments under these leases as of December 31, 2005 are as follows (in thousands):



|     |  |   |      
|---- |  | - | -----
|2006 |  | $ | 1,095
|2007 |  |   | 665  
|2008 |  |   | 209

Rent expense under the operating leases was $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 and $1.3 million for
each of the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Unconditional Purchase Obligations

The Company has unconditional purchase obligations to certain suppliers that supply the Companys wafer requirements. Because the products the Company purchases are
unique to it, its agreements with these suppliers prohibit cancellation subsequent to the production release of the products in its suppliers manufacturing facilities, regardless of whether the Companys customers cancel orders. At
December 31, 2005, the Company had approximately $617,000 of unconditional purchase obligations.

8. Contingencies

In November 2001, we, various officers and certain underwriters of the Companys initial public offering of securities were named in a purported class action lawsuit
filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The suit, In re Sirenza Microdevices, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, Case No. 01-CV-10596, alleges improper and undisclosed activities related
to the allocation of shares in our initial public offering, including obtaining commitments from investors to purchase shares in the aftermarket at pre-arranged prices. Similar lawsuits concerning more than 300 other companies initial public
offerings were filed during 2001, and this lawsuit is being coordinated with those actions (the coordinated litigation). Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on or about April 19, 2002, bringing claims for violation of several
provisions of the federal securities laws and seeking an unspecified amount of damages. On or about July 1, 2002, an omnibus motion to dismiss was filed in the coordinated litigation on behalf of the issuer defendants, of which we and our named
officers and directors are a part, on common pleadings issues. On October 8, 2002, pursuant to stipulation by the parties, the court dismissed the officer and director defendants from the action without prejudice. On February 19, 2003, the
court granted in part and denied in part a motion to dismiss filed on behalf of defendants, including us. The courts order dismissed all claims against us except for a claim brought under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933.

In June 2004, a stipulation of settlement and release of claims against the issuer defendants, including us, was submitted to the court for approval. The
terms of the settlement, if approved, would dismiss and release all claims against the participating defendants (including us). In exchange for this dismissal, D&O insurance carriers would agree to guarantee a recovery by the plaintiffs from the
underwriter defendants of at least $1 billion, and the issuer defendants would agree to an assignment or surrender to the plaintiffs of certain claims the issuer defendants may have against the underwriters. On August 31, 2005, the court
granted preliminary approval of the settlement. The settlement is subject to a number of conditions, including final court approval. If the settlement does not occur, and litigation against us continues, we believe we have meritorious defenses and
intend to defend the case vigorously. In addition, we do not believe the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

On April 16, 2003, Scientific Components Corporation d/b/a Mini-Circuits Laboratory (Mini-Circuits) filed a complaint against us in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New
York alleging, among other things, breach of warranty by us for alleged defects in certain goods sold to Mini-Circuits. Mini-Circuits seeks compensatory damages plus interest, costs and attorneys fees. On July 30, 2003, we filed an answer
to the complaint and asserted counterclaims against Mini-Circuits. Even though we believe Mini-Circuits claims to be without merit and we intend to defend the case and assert our claims vigorously, if we ultimately lose or settle the case, we
may be liable for monetary damages and other costs of litigation. An estimate as to the possible loss or range of loss in the event of an unfavorable outcome cannot be made as of December 31, 2005. Even if we are entirely successful in the
lawsuit, we may incur significant legal expenses and our management may expend significant time in the defense.

In addition, we currently are involved in
litigation and regulatory proceedings incidental to the conduct of our business and expect that we will be involved in other litigation and regulatory proceedings from time to time. While we currently believe that an adverse outcome with respect to
such pending matters would not materially affect our business or financial condition, there can be no assurance that this will ultimately be the case.

On
December 16, 2004, the Company acquired ISG Broadband, Inc. (ISG), a designer of RF gateway module and IC products for the cable TV, satellite radio and HDTV markets, for approximately $6.9 million in cash and estimated direct transaction costs
of approximately $789,000 for a total preliminary purchase price of $7.7 million. Additional cash consideration of up to $7.15 million may become due and payable by the Company upon the achievement of margin contribution objectives attributable to
sales of selected products for periods through December 31, 2007. To the extent sales of the selected products achieve a minimum gross margin percentage, the Company will be required to make additional payments to the former shareholders of ISG
for a portion or all of the gross profit earned on such sales, up to a pre-defined maximum, as outlined below. The future cash payout of additional consideration, if any, will be payable in the quarter following the end of the applicable annual
earn-out period, as outlined below, and will be recorded as additional goodwill.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company determined it to be probable
that the full earn-out of $1.15 million related to the year ended December 31, 2005 would be paid. Accordingly, the Company has accrued for the expected payment of the earn-out on its consolidated balance sheet in Accrued compensation and
other expenses and correspondingly increased goodwill by $1.15 million.

The range of possible payment is as follows (in thousands):

9. Restructuring Activities

All of the activities related to the Companys prior restructurings have been completed, with the exception of $53,000 of cash expenditures related to a noncancelable lease commitment that is expected to be paid
over the respective lease term, which ends in the first half of 2006. The $53,000 of remaining accrued restructuring is recorded our consolidated balance sheet in Accrued compensation and other expenses.

Common Stock

Each
share of the Companys Common Stock is entitled to one vote. The holders of common stock are also entitled to receive dividends from legally available assets of the Company when and if declared by the Board of Directors.

Stock Option Plan

In January 1998, the Company established the 1998
Stock Plan (the 1998 Plan) under which stock options may be granted to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. In 2000, the Board of Directors approved an amendment and restatement of the 1998 Plan to, among other things, provide for
automatic increases on the first day of each of the Companys fiscal years beginning January 1, 2001, equal to the lesser of 1,500,000 shares, 3% of the outstanding shares on such date, or a lesser amount determined by the Board of
Directors. A total of 1,062,013, 1,023,306 and 900,198 shares were authorized for issuance under the 1998 Plan in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, representing 3% of the outstanding shares on January 1, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The
shares may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock.

Under the 1998 Plan, nonstatutory stock options may be granted to employees, directors
and consultants, and incentive stock options (ISO) may be granted only to employees. In the case of an ISO that is granted to an employee who, at the time of the grant of such option, owns stock representing more than 10% of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, the per share exercise price shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. For ISOs granted to any other employee, the per share exercise price shall
not be less than 100% of the fair value per share on the date of grant. The exercise price for nonqualified options may not be less than 85% of the fair value of Common Stock at the option grant date. Options generally expire after ten years.
Vesting and exercise provisions are determined by the Board of Directors. Options generally vest over 4 years, 25% after the first year and ratably each month over the remaining 36 months.

Rights to purchase restricted stock and other types of equity awards may also be granted under the 1998 Plan with terms, conditions, and restrictions determined by the
Board of Directors. Restricted stock purchase rights, or stock awards, are typically granted at an exercise price equal to the par value of the underlying stock ($0.001 per share) and are subject to a right of reacquisition by the Company at cost or
for no consideration. This right of reacquisition then lapses over a period of time following the grant date based on continued service to the Company by the grantee, in a process similar to an option vesting. While vesting rates for the
Companys stock awards vary, the basic vesting schedule for new employee grants is for one-third of the stock subject to the award to vest on each anniversary of the grant date, such that the award is fully-vested after 3 years.

In 2005, the Company granted stock awards for an aggregate of 170,150 shares of restricted common stock to employees under the 1998 Plan. The stock awards were granted
at an exercise price of par value ($0.001) per share and vest over a period of two to three years. The Company measured the fair value of the stock awards based upon the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the dates of grant.
Compensation cost estimated to be $351,000 will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the stock awards. The Company assumed a 12.5% forfeiture rate in estimating the total compensation expense that will be recorded
related to stock awards granted in 2005. Total compensation cost recorded in 2005 was $186,000.

In the second quarter of 2004, the Company granted stock
awards for 100,000 shares of restricted common stock to an employee under the 1998 Plan. The stock awards were granted at an exercise price of par value ($0.001) per share and vest on a cliff basis, three years from the date of grant. However, fifty
percent (50%) of the stock awards immediately vest in the event that the closing trading price of the Companys Common Stock on The Nasdaq National Market is greater than or equal to $6.396 for five consecutive trading days. The Company
measured the fair value of the stock awards based upon the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. Compensation cost of $382,900 will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the stock
awards, or sooner, to the extent vesting accelerates. In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Companys stock price exceeded $6.396 for five consecutive trading days resulting in the acceleration of vesting of the stock awards. As a result, the
Company recorded compensation cost of approximately $154,000 in the fourth quarter of 2004 as general and administrative expenses. Total compensation cost recorded in 2004 was $191,000.

The following is a summary of option and employee stock award activity for the 1998 Plan:

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In February 2000, the Companys Board of Directors and Stockholders approved and established the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Employee Stock Purchase Plan). The Employee Stock Purchase Plan provides for
an automatic annual increase on the first day of each of the Companys fiscal years beginning January 1, 2001 equal to the lesser of 350,000 shares, 1% of the outstanding Common Stock on that date, or a lesser amount as determined by the
Board. A total of 350,000, 341,102 and 300,066 shares were authorized for issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, representing approximately 1% of the outstanding shares on January 1, 2005, 2004 and
2003, respectively. Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan through November 15, 2005, eligible employees may purchase shares of the Companys common stock at 85% of fair market value at specific, predetermined dates. Employees purchased
328,584 and 657,876 shares for approximately $789,000 and $942,000 in 2005 and 2004, respectively. On October 27, 2005, in response to the upcoming effectiveness date of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123(R) Share-Based
Payment, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment to the Companys Employee Stock Purchase Plan which provides, among other things, that after November 15, 2005, the price at which employees
purchase shares of Company Common Stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan shall be equal to 95% of the fair market value per share on the last day of each purchase period under the plan.

Shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance are as follows:

|                                  |  |              |  |          

In connection with the grant of stock options to employees prior to the Companys initial public offering,
the Company recorded deferred stock compensation within stockholders equity of approximately $681,000 in 2000 and $4.5 million in 1999, representing the difference between the deemed fair value of the common stock for accounting purposes and
the exercise price of these options at the date of grant. During the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company amortized $0, $3,000 and $631,000, respectively, of this deferred stock compensation. All of this deferred stock
compensation has been amortized as of December 31, 2005.

11. Employee Benefit Plans

In October of 1999, the Company adopted a 401(k) and profit sharing plan (the Plan) that allows eligible employees to contribute up to 15% of their salary, subject to
annual limits. Under the Plan, eligible employees may defer a portion of their pretax salaries but not more than statutory limits. The Company shall make matching nondiscretionary contributions to the Plan of up to $2,500 per year for each plan
participant. In addition, the Company may make discretionary contributions to the Plan as determined by the Board of Directors.

Contributions to the Plan
during the year ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were approximately $325,000, $317,000 and $240,000, respectively.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company had deferred tax assets of approximately $37.7 million. The Company has
evaluated the need for a valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. As of December 31, 2005, the
Company had no ability to realize its deferred tax assets through carrybacks or available tax planning strategies. Additionally, based on cumulative pre-tax losses the Company has sustained in the three years ended December 31, 2005 and the
current economic uncertainty in the Companys industry that limits the Companys ability to generate verifiable forecasts of future domestic taxable income, a valuation allowance was recorded as of December 31, 2005. The valuation
allowance increased by approximately $1.1 million in 2005, decreased by approximately $4.7 million in 2004 and increased by approximately $4.9 million in 2003.

Approximately $5.7 million of the valuation allowance was attributable to acquisition-related items that, if and to the extent realized in future periods, will first reduce the carrying value of goodwill, then other long-lived intangible
assets of the Companys acquired subsidiary and then income tax expense. The valuation allowance also includes approximately $15.6 million of a tax benefit associated with stock option deductions. This amount will be credited to paid-in capital
when and if the benefit is realized.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of
approximately $69.8 million, which expire beginning in 2019. The Company also has state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $17.9 million, which expire beginning in 2006. The Company also has federal and California research and
development tax credits of $1.3 million and $729,000. The federal research credits will begin to expire in 2011 and the California research credits have no expiration date.

Utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards before utilization. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has reviewed the impact
of these rules to the utilization of its net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and currently has the ability to use these carryforwards without limitation. The Companys ability to use these carryforwards without limitation in the
future is subject to change based on the application of these rules in the Internal Revenue Code.

14. Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information

At the beginning of 2005, the Company reorganized into two product-focused business segments, the Amplifier division and the Signal Source division, and one market
oriented segment, the Aerospace and Defense (A&D) division. The Amplifier divisions main product lines are primarily IC-based and include discrete, amplifier, low noise amplifier, power amplifier and transceiver IC products, a
multi-component module (MCM) product line including power amplifier modules and a broadband product line, which includes our satellite radio antenna. The Signal Source divisions main product lines are primarily MCMs used in mobile wireless
infrastructure applications to generate and control RF signals, including VCOs, PLLs, coaxial resonator oscillators (CROs), and passive and active mixers. In addition, the Signal Source division has an IC-based modulator and demodulator product line
and a line of signal couplers. The A&D divisions main product lines are government and military specified versions of certain of our amplifier and signal processing components and various passive components. The Companys reportable
segments are organized as separate functional units with separate management teams and separate performance assessment. The Companys chief operating decision maker (CODM), who is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, evaluates
performance and allocates resources based on the operating income (loss) of each segment.

The accounting policies of each segment are the same as those
described in Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. There are no intersegment sales. Non-segment items include certain corporate manufacturing expenses, advanced
research and development expenses, certain sales expenses, certain general and administrative expenses, amortization of deferred stock compensation, amortization of acquisition related intangible assets, acquired in-process research and development
charges, restructuring, GCS impairment charges, interest income and other, net, interest expense, and the provision for (benefit from) income taxes, as the aforementioned items are not allocated for purposes of the CODMs reportable segment
review. Assets and liabilities are not discretely reviewed by the CODM, and accordingly are not detailed by segment below.

The segment information above has been restated to reflect the change in the number the Companys segments
from two to three in the first quarter of 2005. Prior to this reorganization, the revenues and operating income (loss) attributable to our A&D products were primarily included in the revenues and operating income (loss) attributable to our
Signal Source division.

|(2) | In the first, second, third and fourth quarters of 2005, we sold inventory products that had been previously written-down of approximately $65,000, $58,000, $53,000 and $83,000,
respectively. In the first, second, third and fourth quarters of 2004, we sold inventory products that had been previously written-down of approximately $273,000, $192,000, $155,000 and $102,000, respectively. As the cost basis for previously
written-down inventories is less than the original cost basis when such products are sold, cost of revenues associated with the sale is lower, which results in a higher gross margin on that sale. The amounts of previously written-down inventory
products that were sold in the first, second, third and fourth quarters of 2005 and 2004 related to a large number of our products within many of our product families. We recorded provisions for excess inventories for these products as a result of a
rapidly declining demand for these products due to customer program cancellations. Subsequently, we began receiving new orders for these products, which were not anticipated at the time we made the decision to record provisions for excess
inventories. We expect to sell previously written-down inventory products in future periods. See the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations for more details.

16. Subsequent Event (Unaudited)

On February 4, 2006, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Premier Devices, Inc. (PDI) for a combination of common stock, cash and debt. Under the terms of the agreement, the shareholders of
PDI will receive 7,000,000 shares of Sirenza common stock, $14.0 million in cash and a $6.0 million promissory note bearing 5% simple interest per annum paid monthly and maturing in one year. PDI designs, manufactures and markets complementary RF
components featuring technologies common to existing and planned Sirenza products and is headquartered in San Jose, California with significant manufacturing operations in both Shanghai, China and Nuremberg, Germany. This acquisition is intended to
expand both the depth and breadth of our products, extend our design and manufacturing capabilities into Asia and Europe and advance our strategic mission to diversify and expand our end markets and applications. The transaction has been approved by
each companys board of directors and the shareholders of PDI and is expected to close early in the second quarter of 2006, subject to customary closing conditions. Upon the closing of this transaction, Mr. Phillip Liao, founder and
president of PDI, will become president of Premier Devices Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sirenza, and join the Sirenza Board of Directors.

None.

Item 9A.Controls and
Procedures

Evaluation of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Managements annual report on internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 appears on page 28 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The report of
Ernst & Young LLP on managements assessment and the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting appears on page 30 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The controls evaluation was done under the supervision and
with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

Attached as exhibits to this annual report are
certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, which are required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This Controls and Procedures section includes the information
concerning the controls evaluation referred to in the certifications, and it should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

Scope of the Evaluation

The evaluation of our disclosure controls
and procedures included a review of the controls objectives and design, the companys implementation of the controls and the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the course of
the controls evaluation, we sought to identify data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and confirm that appropriate corrective action, including process improvements, were being undertaken. This type of evaluation is performed on a quarterly
basis so that the conclusions of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concerning the effectiveness of the controls can be reported in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and to supplement our disclosures made
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Many of the components of our disclosure controls and procedures are also evaluated on an ongoing basis by personnel in our finance department, as well as our independent auditors who evaluate them in connection
with determining their auditing procedures related to their report on our annual financial statements and not to provide assurance on our controls. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our disclosure controls and
procedures, and to modify them as necessary.

Among other matters, we also considered whether our evaluation identified any significant
deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and whether the company had identified any acts of fraud involving personnel with a significant role in our internal control over financial
reporting. We evaluated these matters using the definitions for these terms found in professional auditing literature. We also sought to address other controls matters in the controls evaluation, and in each case if a problem was identified, we
considered what revision, improvement and/or correction to make in accordance with our ongoing procedures.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of
Controls

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

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no
change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

Conclusion

Based on this evaluation, our
Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, subject to the limitations noted above, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to
ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission
rules and forms.
