EXPLANATORY NOTE

Advanced Analogic Technologies Incorporated is filing this amendment to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, originally filed February 26, 2009 (the
Original Filing) to amend and restate our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 and for each of the quarters in fiscal 2008 and 2007, and to restate managements report on
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. Subsequent to the issuance of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, our management determined that there were errors in the recording of
stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 and therefore our consolidated financial statements required restatement. Refer to Notes 14 and 15 to the consolidated financial statements included in
Item 8 for further discussion of the restatement.

The following sections in this report have been amended as a result of the
restatements:

Part I:

Item 1: Business

Part II:

Item 6: Selected Consolidated Financial Data;

Item 7:
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;

Item 8: Financial Statements
and Supplementary Data;

Item 9A: Controls and Procedures

Part IV:

Item 15: Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules

For convenience of the reader, this Form 10-K/A sets forth the Original Filing in its entirety, as amended by, and to reflect the restatement. We have not
modified or updated disclosures presented in our original annual report on Form 10-K, except as required to reflect the effects of these restatements. Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of our original
10-K and does not modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events, except specifically referenced herein. Information not affected by these restatements is unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time of the original
filing of our Form 10-K on February 26, 2009. References to the annual report on Form 10-K herein shall refer to the annual report on Form 10-K originally filed on February 26, 2009.

Overview

We are a supplier of power management semiconductors for consumer, communications and computing electronic devices, such as wireless
handsets, notebook and tablet computers, smartphones, camera phones, digital cameras, personal media players, Bluetooth headphones and accessories, digital TVs, set top boxes and displays. We focus our design and marketing efforts on the
application-specific power management needs in these rapidly-evolving devices. Through our Total Power Management approach, we offer a broad range of products that support multiple applications, features and services across a diverse set of
electronic devices. We sell directly to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, including Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., LG Electronics, Inc., Sony Ericsson and ZTE Corporation. We sell through distributors to original design manufacturers,
or ODMs, to contract manufacturers, and to other system designers, including USI Corporation, Longcheer Holdings Ltd., Tianyu Communication Equipment Co., Ltd, Foxconn Electronics, Inc. and Gemtek Technology Co. Ltd. In some instances, we also sell
directly to contract manufacturers such as Flextronics International Ltd. Reference design based sales like those associated with Broadcom chipsets for Apple, Dell and HP are sold through distribution to contract manufacturers and ODMs.

Industry Background

Consumer Electronic Devices

The market for consumer electronic devices, such as wireless handsets,
notebook and tablet computers, smartphones, digital cameras and personal media players, is large and growing rapidly as functionality increases and prices decrease. As an example, wireless handsets, which can incorporate multiple applications such
as digital cameras and movie capability, digital audio and video, polyphonic ring tones, text messaging, internet access, electronic gaming and decorative lighting, are among the most widely adopted electronic devices today. According to Gartner,
Inc., a market research firm, mobile phone sales reached one billion units in 2007.

A diverse range of consumer electronic
devices is being manufactured in high volume, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. This region offers competitive manufacturing costs and extensive product development resources. According to Global Insight, an economic research firm, the
Asia-Pacific region is one of the fastest growing economic regions in the world, and we believe an increasing number of electronic products are being designed there especially for domestic consumption in Peoples Republic of China (China),
Republic of China (Taiwan), Japan and Republic of Korea (South Korea).

New services for mobile consumer electronic devices,
such as digital music downloads, video downloads, video messaging, video streaming, mobile TV, Global Positioning System-based personal navigation, and web-based gaming, are helping drive consumer demand for these devices worldwide. These new
services are becoming more robust, affordable and accessible on wireless handsets, smartphones and other devices with connectivity to high-bandwidth, third- and fourth-generation wireless networks supporting high-speed packet formats HSDPA and
HSUPA, broadband formats such as WiMax and digital video broadcast services such as DMB. Certain applications and features that facilitate use of these services, such as high-quality color displays and high-capacity memory for photos, music, video
including TV content, games and other content, have already become broadly accepted and, we believe, expected by many consumers. In response to these market dynamics, manufacturers of mobile consumer electronic devices and service providers
marketing these devices are incorporating an increasing number of applications, features and services.

As the number of
applications, features and services available for consumer electronic devices increases, the number and variety of power loads, or individual subsystems requiring voltage regulation and power management, has also grown. Each additional application
or feature can require multiple functions and circuits that, in turn, require more individually-regulated and managed power sources. For example, the addition of a camera into a mobile consumer electronic device requires powering as many as three
additional regulated power loads: a photo-flash light, a camera image sensor and an image processor. Convergent devices that combine many consumer, communications and computing applications into a single device, such as a smartphone, incorporate
even greater functionality and must accommodate as many as 25 different power loads. All of these additional loads reduce battery life, the

duration of which is an important element of consumer satisfaction, as they each draw power for operation. Additional power is consumed and battery operating time is reduced if components that
supply and regulate power to all of these various power loads are inefficient. Therefore, high-performance power management semiconductors that extend battery operating time by improving power efficiency have become key enablers of consumer
electronic device functionality.

Feature convergence is also becoming prevalent in non-portable consumer devices such as high
definition television and set top boxes. For example, advanced set top boxes combine a computer controlled internet access and a graphics user interface with satellite or cable decoding circuitry and extensive hard-drive based video recording and
playback capability. Advanced high-definition televisions (HDTV) integrate Blu-Ray DVD high definition video with class-D switching audio amplifiers and high-contrast large-screen LCD-panels employing light emitting diode, or LED,
backlighting instead of bulky and inefficient cold-cathode fluorescent lights.

The convergence of communications and
computing with consumer electronics has emerged as a significant market driver. Combined with the need for reducing size and weight, improving safety and robust operation, and developing more energy-efficient products, the evolution of consumer
electronics requiring power management is diverse.

While we believe the long-term prospects for convergent devices remain
positive, starting in 2008 the consumer electronics market showed signs of slowing sales driven by global macroeconomic weakness and recessionary fears. This downward market trend continued unabated throughout the year resulting in both unit sales
declines and greater competitive pricing pressure throughout the consumer electronics and semiconductor industries.

Power Management Semiconductors

Power management semiconductors deliver power and regulate voltage,
controlling the flow of electrical energy among the various power loads and energy sources in a product or system. Power management semiconductors play a crucial role in system design because they are critical to battery life and impact the size,
performance, and safety of a consumer electronic device. According to Gartner, Inc., the voltage regulator and reference power management semiconductor market is expected to grow from $7.7 billion in 2006 to $10.8 billion in 2011, a compound
annual growth rate of 7%. Longer term, we believe that demand for power management and voltage regulation in consumer electronic devices will continue to grow, but like all consumer-related businesses, it is not immune to short-term economic
conditions and temporary fluctuations or declines in demand. Despite these factors, power management semiconductors remain an indispensable element of electronic devices, driven by the need for longer battery life and greater energy efficiency.

Power management semiconductors vary in functionality, application specificity, design, pricing and volume of sales and may
be categorized as follows:



| |  |  | General Purpose Analog ICs: The most basic analog semiconductor components, general purpose analog ICs, are analog building blocks such as
voltage references and amplifiers used to perform generic analog and power management functions. Sold through broad-line semiconductor parts catalogs, general purpose analog ICs address standard functions with little differentiation and compete
primarily on the basis of price and availability. These products typically are bought and sold with little interaction between the system designer and semiconductor supplier. They are most commonly employed in applications where size and weight are
not critical. Switching regulators, commonly called DC-DC regulators, are general purpose analog ICs which provide voltage and current control at higher efficiency than the basic analog semiconductor components. As a result of their complexity
and higher performance, they typically require power expertise to implement and require interaction between the system designer and semiconductor supplier. Switching solutions are typically applied to applications where higher performance is
required to provide more power, improve efficiency and/or meet space constraints.

| |  |  | Power Management ASSPs: Power management application-specific standard products, or Power Management ASSPs, integrate multiple analog building
blocks and are designed to focus on specific, narrowly defined applications such as battery charging and backlight drive to achieve the desired balance of cost and performance for a given application. More highly integrated Power Management ASSPs
also known as power management units, or PMUs, and power management ICs, or PMICs, occupy less space than the analog ICs they replace and provide system designers efficiency and performance benefits associated with products focused on a specific
application or a narrow group of applications. Power Management ASSPs are integrated into systems with a wide range of varying parameters and as a result, typically require closer collaboration between the system designer and semiconductor supplier
than general purpose analog ICs. Power Management ASSPs are used extensively in todays mobile consumer electronic devices to extend battery life and reduce product size.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | PowerSOCs: Power system-on-chip integrated circuits, or PowerSOCs, a relatively new concept in Power Management ASSP design, integrate multiple
analog functions with digital control and memory to provide new features and cost-effective performance improvements. PowerSOCs may utilize user-defined or software-based programmability for even greater customer-specific customization, but can be
sold to multiple customers and into multiple markets. PowerSOCs mix multiple application-oriented functions, such as voltage regulation, backlight drive, battery charging and interface functions into a single semiconductor chip to achieve smaller
size, lower noise, higher efficiency and higher levels of functionality. As a result of design times and their high cost of manufacturing using currently available wafer fabrication technologies, PowerSOCs have thus far been limited to high-volume
applications. PowerSOCs offer their greatest advantage to portable products where size and weight are crucial.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Power Management ASSPs, while addressing the broad consumer electronic device market, are more application-specific and integrate more functions than general purpose analog ICs. Although more specialized semiconductor architectures exist,
they are typically custom designed for and limited to, a single application for a single customer. Moreover, these full custom designs can take one to two years to complete and debug, suffering from both product delays and substantial technical
risk. As an alternative to such expensive customer-specific semiconductor design, we believe that less specialized mini-PMUs and more flexible user-programmable PowerSOCs can provide high-performance space saving components having
customer-specific features with reduced development and application risk.

Power Management Semiconductor Design and
Fabrication

Power management semiconductors are designed primarily as analog circuits to support a wide and continuous
range of input and output voltages and currents. In electronic devices, the voltage and current of the battery or other power source, or input, may vary significantly, while semiconductors and other components requiring power often cannot tolerate
the magnitude or variation in a batterys voltage. Digital semiconductors, including, for example, logic, digital signal processors, memory, image processors, baseband processors and microprocessors, typically operate at three volts or less and
cannot be connected directly to the power source.

Interposed between the power source and these components are one or more
power management semiconductors performing a variety of dedicated functions, such as voltage regulation. A voltage regulator maintains a constant output voltage at specified levels despite variations in the power source voltage, load current or
temperature. Such power management semiconductors generally operate at varying input voltages in the range of three to six volts and in some circumstances as high as 40 or even 72 volts. Other applications may operate with input voltages as low as
one volt. Output voltages may be lower or higher than a regulators voltage input, requiring step-down or step-up voltage conversion techniques, respectively.

Power management semiconductors also provide other functions, including current control, current limiting, port protection and battery charging. For example, in portable applications, LEDs typically
require three to four volts and a power management semiconductor is required to convert the battery voltage to a higher value and provide a constant driving current to the LEDs even as the battery voltage declines over time. Batteries also require
well-controlled currents and voltages while charging to avoid damaging their electrochemical cells. Similarly, USB ports on notebook computers require current limiting to protect against electrical shorts and fire hazards.

Several different process technologies are available for designing and fabricating analog
and digital ICs. Of these, complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor, or CMOS, is the most widely used process technology, especially for purely digital ICs. CMOS processes are described in terms of feature size, or geometry and are measured in
microns. One micron equals one millionth of a meter. The most advanced process technologies today achieve feature sizes of 0.13 micron, 0.08 micron and smaller. However, small feature size circuits can become damaged when exposed to high voltages
and therefore power management semiconductors are typically fabricated using larger feature sizes. Similar in construction to its smaller line-width digital counterpart, analog CMOS has a voltage rating that depends on the minimum feature size of
its CMOS transistors. For this reason, older wafer fabs, having feature sizes of 0.8 micron and 1.2 microns or greater, have traditionally sufficed in fabricating power management ICs operating at higher voltages, while the most advanced and
most expensive wafer fabs are used for digital ICs and non-power management analog ICs.

During the late 1990s, many former
state-of-the-art wafer fabs designed to produce dynamic random access memory, or DRAM, at the 0.5 micron and 0.35 micron feature size began to be replaced by newer wafer fabs capable of even smaller feature sizes. At that time, these older generally
fully-depreciated DRAM wafer fabs, no longer usable for memory, started to become available on a specialty foundry basis, especially for LCD display drivers, camera image sensors and select analog applications. AnalogicTech was one of the first
fabless semiconductor companies to recognize this opportunity and launched its product development efforts using advanced analog CMOS in power semiconductors.

By adapting CMOS at half-micron line widths for analog operation, advanced analog CMOS with five volt capability made possible the development of power management products useful for most single-cell
lithium ion battery applications. These new ICs offered higher performance and smaller die sizes than what was previously available from bipolar and larger-geometry CMOS processes produced in conventional legacy fabs using high temperature
processing. Like digital CMOS, advanced analog CMOS uses low-temperature processing to achieve low product costs, especially benefiting from large-diameter silicon wafers, a large number of silicon die per wafer and high electrical yields. High
temperatures cause large diameter silicon wafers to warp and severely impact yields. Low temperature wafer fabrication capability, while common in former DRAM fabs, is not prevalent in older high-temperature legacy fabs. Nearly a decade after we
started our first product development, only a limited number of wafer fabs support half-micron advanced analog CMOS in high-volume manufacturing. We manufacture a significant number of our single-function power management products using this
advanced analog CMOS.

Despite its advantages in size and cost, advanced analog CMOS shares certain disadvantages with older
CMOS predecessors, especially for use in power management semiconductors. Significant expertise is required to design analog circuits in advanced analog CMOS. CMOS lacks the ability to implement robust rugged power devices, especially operating at
higher voltages, for example over six volts. Application support is often needed to prevent electrical overstress from damaging devices. Analog CMOS also lacks electrical isolation, the ability to divide an integrated circuit into distinct pockets
of transistors operating at different voltages and prevent unwanted interaction between devices and circuits. Integrating multiple functions operating at different voltages is problematic in analog CMOS.

Advanced analog CMOS is best suited for producing ICs that are voltage-specific, meaning they operate best over a narrow voltage range and
typically with voltages not exceeding six volts. We believe that there is an emerging demand, driven by the increasing number of applications and features in mobile consumer electronic devices, for power management devices that are capable of
supporting both multiple on-chip voltages and voltages that exceed six volts. For example, the newest-generation of battery chargers needs to operate reliably at voltages as high as seven volts during charging and survive over-voltages as high as 28
volts in a fault condition. We believe analog CMOS is not a suitable technology platform for the future development of high-voltage, multi-voltage and highly integrated power management products.

Todays alternative to analog CMOS is epitaxial BCD technology, also commonly known as
high-temperature junction-isolated BCD. Theoretically, BCD technology is better suited for integrated analog and mixed signal circuitry than pure CMOS processes because of its capability to provide electrical isolation of devices and circuits. An
acronym for bipolar-CMOS-DMOS, high-temperature epitaxial BCD integrates bipolar transistors, which are devices good for precision analog circuitry and voltage references, with analog CMOS, a process good for digital and low-power analog circuits.
DMOS power transistors are considerably more robust than conventional CMOS transistors, especially at higher voltages.

While
epitaxial BCD processes have been used since the early 1980s, their commercial adoption remains limited, primarily due to intrinsic weaknesses including the need for high process complexity, long and high temperature wafer processes and a reliance
on expensive and exotic wafer fabrication steps such as epitaxial deposition. Epitaxial deposition, which is growing a new layer of silicon atop a partially processed silicon wafer, is a slow and expensive process, which on occasion results in
crystalline defects and low or variable product yield. Because of the extra processing steps, epitaxial-based BCD processes also require longer fab cycle times than CMOS processes and reduce manufacturing throughput and slow product development.

To be cost optimized, epitaxial BCD wafer processes must be matched to the operating voltage of an application. In epitaxial
BCD, the thickness and the impurity concentration of the epitaxial layer must be chosen to support the highest on-chip voltage. Epitaxy properties affect the design rules and the electrical properties of every device on the wafer. Since higher
voltage designs require thicker layers and larger device spacing, epitaxial BCD processes must be optimized for one specific voltage. Mixing circuits of differing voltages in epitaxial BCD processes requires undesirable compromises which can lead to
larger die, reduced performance devices and lower efficiency circuits. Moreover, since BCD technologies require high temperature wafer fabrication, they are generally relegated to manufacture in larger line-width legacy fabs and are not compatible
with the fine-line equipment sets common in former DRAM fabs. In many instances, products designed on epitaxial BCD processes have no advantage over analog CMOS and may in fact be significantly larger and more expensive.

We believe that one or more new process technologies will be required to support multi-voltage and higher-voltage power management
semiconductors. In order to develop such a process technology, a number of requirements must be satisfied, including the need for device and process expertise in advanced analog CMOS or other analog process technologies, process compatibility with
low-cost sub-half-micron fabs and power management semiconductor design expertise.

The AnalogicTech Approach

We are a supplier of power management semiconductors for consumer, communications and computing electronic devices, such as wireless
handsets, notebook and tablet computers, smartphones, camera phones, digital cameras, personal media players, Bluetooth headphones and accessories, digital TVs, set top boxes and displays. We focus our design and marketing efforts on the
application-specific power management needs in these rapidly-evolving devices. Through our Total Power Management approach, we offer a broad range of products that support multiple applications, features and services across a diverse set of
electronic devices. We target our design efforts on proprietary products, which at the time we introduce them offer characteristics that differentiate them from those offered by our competitors and which we believe are likely to generate high-volume
demand from multiple customers.

We currently offer an extensive portfolio of over 650 power management products comprising
Power Management ASSPs and selected general-purpose Analog ICs in single-chip packages and multi-chip packages including PowerSOC products. We released approximately 70 new products in 2008. Critical elements in power management and our approach to
address them include:



| |  |  | Focusing on the market for consumer electronic devices: Our target markets are characterized by rapid innovation and frequent new product
releases for a diverse set of devices, including wireless handsets, smartphones, notebook, netbook and tablet computers, digital cameras, personal media players, global positioning and personal navigation devices, digital picture frames, set top
boxes and LCD televisions. These devices often compete on an array of different applications, features and services. These factors make it challenging to identify application parameters, forecast application adoption and define power management
semiconductor products.

Our approach: Through a network of offices located in South Korea, China, Taiwan,
Japan, Europe and the United States, our technical salespeople and field applications engineers, or FAEs, work with the system design, engineering and procurement groups of our customers and potential customers to identify future product needs and
define new products. Based on these ongoing global customer interactions, we establish engineering priorities for new product design and development. We believe our global focus on power management semiconductors for consumer electronic devices
enables us to anticipate customer and market requirements for these devices more quickly and thoroughly than local suppliers and more diversified semiconductor suppliers. We believe our Do what it takes corporate mentality reduces
time-to-market, enabling us to take advantage of rapidly changing market dynamics.

Our growth strategy involves three
elements, to maintain revenues in our existing markets and applications such as LED lighting in handheld devices, to penetrate new applications in existing markets such as battery charging in cell phones, and to selectively enter totally new markets
such as high definition televisions. For example, starting in the latter half of 2008, we expanded our new product development efforts in an attempt to diversify our revenue beyond handsets and handheld devices into new markets such as high
definition television and netbook computers.



| |  |  | Developing advanced power management semiconductors: Power management semiconductors must be defined and designed to compete on the basis of
functional integration, size, efficiency, robustness, safety, features, cost, ease-of-use for system designers and their ability to be integrated into a system, package or chip.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our approach: We integrate functions from our general purpose analog ICs into our Power Management ASSPs and our
PowerSOCs. Our experienced analog semiconductor engineering team designs our products to be characterized by high functional integration, small size, high efficiency, robust features, low cost, ease of use and system integration. Our application and
market-focused engineering approach has enabled us to develop a number of innovations and proprietary technologies that are of particular benefit for consumer electronic device power management. One example of our innovative design approach is our
proprietary simple-serial-control interface, or S2Cwire
and AS2Cwire, which allows system designers to enable
real-time user control of various features such as LED backlight dimming, adjustable battery charging and programmable-output voltage regulators. Other examples include battery chargers that combine 28V over-voltage protection with smart charging
techniques that charge a LiIon battery at an optimum rate while avoiding overheating or drawing too much current from a power source, USB port, or AC adapter. In televisions, our newest high voltage LED driver products give the user the ability to
independently set the brightness of each strong of LEDs with over one million levels of brightness and to synchronize the backlight drivers timing to any TV vertical sync signal from 60 Hz up to 480 Hz.



| |  |  | Inventing multi-voltage and high-voltage process technology: The need to manage different power loads at different voltages cost-effectively is
an emerging requirement in the power management semiconductor market for next-generation mobile consumer electronic devices. Current multi-voltage solutions are either large multi-chip packaging solutions or complex single-chip isolated ICs that are
expensive and difficult to manufacture. We believe that power management semiconductor suppliers will therefore need to develop new approaches employing more advanced process technologies and cost effective manufacturing techniques, especially to
implement highly integrated power management products. Examples of multi-voltage applications requiring a mix of high voltage and significant low-voltage analog and digital circuitry include complex 40V driver ICs for HDTVs with matrix-LED
backlighting and complex PMUs for GPS personal navigation devices.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our approach: To address
multi-voltage, high-voltage and PowerSOC power management products, we invented and patented a new process which we call ModularBCD. This process is designed especially for fabrication in former DRAM fabs 0.35 microns and smaller and is
capable of integrating CMOS and bipolar circuits with different voltages, electrically isolated from one another. Since ModularBCD is not an epitaxial process, it does not experience the drawbacks in cost, manufacturing throughput and size penalties
that traditional epitaxial processes suffer. Unlike traditional BCD

technologies requiring wide isolation regions determined by the highest on-chip voltage, ModularBCD is capable of mixing 5V, 12V, 30V and even 60V devices and circuitry each isolated in a
floating island and optimized for the smallest possible area within each island. We continue to increase the number of products utilizing ModularBCD and currently have approximately 50 new products in development in ModularBCD. In 2008, we released
25 products that use the ModularBCD process. These products include all of our more complex Power Management Units (PMUs) and Power System-On-a-Chip (PowerSOC) products. By the end of 2008, sales of products utilizing ModularBCD have grown to
represent approximately 19% of our quarterly revenue. Most recent multi-voltage product development efforts in ModularBCD include over-voltage protected battery chargers, a single inductor dual polarity active matrix OLED power supply, and
fully-integrated high voltage LED backlight drivers for HDTVs and notebook LCD panels.



| |  |  | Offering high performance products in small packages: As consumer electronic devices support more applications, features and services with
limited space and limited battery capacity, it is becoming increasingly important to offer smaller, higher-efficiency power management semiconductors, assembled in area-efficient packages and requiring fewer components to use.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our approach: To provide smaller products with higher integration and efficiency, we have implemented
an outsourced fabrication model to manufacture our products at half-micron geometries and below. Specifically, we contract with specialty foundries with former DRAM fabs manufacturing advanced analog CMOS and, under license, producing wafers using
our proprietary ModularBCD process technology. We have spent significant time and engineering resources collaborating with our suppliers to simulate, characterize and, as necessary, adapt these processes to enable us to design and develop our
products for higher performance and smaller die size. We also capture the operational and financial benefits of the fabless model, including reduced manufacturing personnel, low capital expenditures and minimal fixed assets and fixed costs. We use
and develop area-efficient and multi-chip packages to meet more complex power management needs in a smaller footprint. Combining our analog CMOS and ModularBCD power management ICs with one or more discrete vertical TrenchDMOS devices, we are able
to increase the maximum current capability of our packaged parts beyond the limits of a purely monolithic approach.



| |  |  | Total Power Management approach: Designing and manufacturing any modern consumer electronic device requires system design expertise, adequate
time and other resources as well as effective management of multiple suppliers. Furthermore, each consumer electronic device can have many power loads and each load may have different power management characteristics. These system design and
manufacturing requirements and variety of power loads create resource burdens on our customers, system designers and manufacturers.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our approach: Our Total Power Management strategy is intended to provide our customers with products for most or all of their power management requirements for each consumer electronic
device on which we focus. We believe our broad range of Power Management ASSPs and components derived from our general purpose analog ICs offer a flexible solution to our customers power management requirements, saving space, reducing
component count in the system and offering a single vendor solution for mobile consumer electronic devices. We believe that our PowerSOC solutions currently being sampled or in development integrate a wide variety of power management functions,
offering improved efficiency, smaller size and real-time user control of their power consumption and power performance.

Our
Total Power Management circuit portfolio supports functions including: voltage regulation and DC/DC conversion, over-voltage protected battery charging, power saving SmartSwitch functions, interface and port protection, and display and lighting
solutions including low-voltage and high-voltage LED backlighting, high-current LED camera flash and active-matrix OLED power supplies. Recent efforts include circuitry for large screen LCD biasing including Vcom trimming and gamma correction. These
functions may be offered as single function products, mixed in various combinations, or integrated monolithically into PowerSOCs using our proprietary ModularBCD process technology.

Customers, Sales and Marketing

We work directly with system designers to create demand for our products by providing them with application-specific product information for
their system design, engineering and procurement groups. Our FAEs actively engage these groups during their design processes to introduce them to our products and the target applications our products address. We endeavor to design products that will
meet anticipated, increasingly complex and specific design requirements, but which will also support widespread demand for these products and future products derived from these products. We typically undertake a four to eight month development
process with system designers. If successful, this process culminates in a system designer deciding to use our product in their system, which we refer to as a design win. Volume production of products that use our ICs generally takes an
additional three to six months after an initial design win confirmation. Once our products are accepted and designed into an application, the system designer is likely to continue to use the same power architecture and derivative products in a
number of their models, which tends to extend our product lifecycles. We sell directly to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, including Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., LG Electronics, Inc., Sony Ericsson and ZTE Corporation. We sell
through distributors to original design manufacturers, or ODMs, to contract manufacturers, and to other system designers, including USI Corporation, Longcheer Holdings Ltd., Tianyu Communication

through arrangements with distributors that fulfill third-party orders for our products. Many of our current distributors also serve as sales representatives procuring orders for us to fill directly. We receive a substantial portion of our revenues
from a small number of customers. We received in aggregate, approximately 84%, 81% and 80% of our net revenue from our ten largest customers in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. LG Electronics was our largest direct customer in 2008, 2007 and 2006,
representing 25%, 20% and 28% of net revenues, respectively. Sales to Samsung accounted for 20% of our net revenue in 2008 and 11% of our net revenue in both 2007 and 2006. Additionally, we sell to a number of contract manufacturers of Samsung.
Total sales to Samsung and its contract manufacturers represented 36%, 25% and 20% of our net revenue for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. No single distributor accounted for more than 10% of our net revenue in 2008. One distributor, ChiefTech
Electronics Limited, accounted for 6% and 15% of our net revenue in 2008 and 2007, respectively. End users of our products purchasing from us directly accounted for 67%, 54% and 56% of our net revenue in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, while
distributors, original design manufacturers and contract electronics manufacturers accounted for 33%, 46% and 44% of our net revenue in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Our technical global sales and field applications force is organized in regional teams, generally each with a minimum core of three people including one country manager, one customer service
representative and at least one FAE. As we have grown, we have continued to add more FAEs. We have added additional customer service personnel in regions where we ship directly to an OEM, particularly in South Korea. In addition to creating the
initial demand for our products, each regional team is responsible for increasing demand from distributors, original design manufacturers, contract manufacturers and end users. As of December 31, 2008, we had a total of 82 sales and marketing
personnel worldwide.

We operate sales offices in: Seoul, South Korea; Taipei (Neihu), Taiwan; Tokyo (Akasaka), Japan;
Shanghai, China; Shenzhen, China; Beijing, China; Hong Kong, Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China (Hong Kong); Santa Clara, California; and London, England. In 2008, due to demographic shifts in the design activities
of our customers, we closed our offices in Stockholm, Sweden and in Paris, France. Santa Clara is both our corporate and North American sales headquarters, Shanghai is our sales headquarters for China, and London is our sales headquarters for
Europe, the Middle East and Africa. We use this network of offices and staff, with the support of distributors and representatives, to stay close to system designers and our other customers and remain current on the newest global technology
developments through the sharing of customer visit reports. See Note 11Segment Information to the consolidated financial statements for our revenues and long-lived assets by geographic region.

Manufacturing and Operations

We use third-party foundries and assembly and test subcontractors to manufacture, assemble and test our products. To provide smaller products with higher integration and efficiency, we have implemented an outsourced fabrication model to
manufacture our products at half-micron geometries and below. Specifically, we contract with specialty foundries that have former DRAM fabs employing advanced analog CMOS process technology and, under license, our patented ModularBCD technology. We
have spent significant time and engineering resources collaborating with our suppliers to simulate, characterize, and, as necessary, adapt these processes to enable us to design and develop products for higher performance and smaller die size. We
also capture the operational and financial benefits of the fabless model, including reduced manufacturing personnel, capital expenditures, fixed assets and fixed costs. Relative to other fabless companies that use CMOS foundries, we believe that our
use of fully-depreciated DRAM fabs allows us to achieve lower costs using either advanced analog CMOS processes or specialized process technologies, such as our ModularBCD technology, in order to maximize device performance for a given application.

We are able to take advantage of the lower costs and increased manufacturing capacity of
former DRAM fabs because we have the expertise in analog and power management design and process technology required to utilize the advanced equipment found in DRAM facilities for the fabrication of our power management products. We believe the IC
process technologies we use achieve high levels of performance and monolithic integration of mixed-signal, or analog with digital, analog and power management circuitry and offer superior characteristics in noise, high-frequency operation,
high-current capability and ability to survive adverse electrical and thermal conditions. To achieve a greater degree of customer specificity while maintaining economies of scale in manufacturing, we employ a variety of production adjustments and
modifications to our products. Our process integration team in our Hong Kong office works onsite at these former DRAM fabs to oversee the transfer of our technology into the various manufacturing sites.

We use third-party contractors, primarily in Taiwan, to perform wafer probe. The probed wafers are then shipped to our back-end
suppliers assembly and test manufacturing locations in Taiwan, Shanghai, Chengdu or Malaysia. Back-end logistics and engineering support is performed through our operations team in Chupei, Taiwan. Finished goods inventory is stored and shipped
world-wide from Hong Kong by a third-party service provider on our behalf. All scheduling is internally communicated globally via our virtual private network and web-based enterprise resource planning system.

In addition to innovative manufacturing processes, we also work with our packaging contractors to develop innovative packaging solutions
that make use of new assembly methods and new high performance packaging materials to improve area efficiency, optimize thermal and electrical performance, reduce package size and offer ease-of-use and cost efficiency. We use area-efficient and
multi-chip packages to meet more complex power management needs in a smaller footprint.

Combining innovative process and
packaging technologies enables us to produce cost-effective products with many competitive advantages, including high functional integration, small size, high efficiency, robust features, low cost, ease of use and system integration. In many
instances, chip size reductions through advanced wafer fabrication make it possible to shrink a chip to fit into a smaller, cheaper package, reducing both die and package cost. When the resulting smaller footprint product is sold into
space-conscious applications like wireless handsets and smartphones, the smaller product generally commands a higher market price.

We eliminated lead from our manufacturing process and became Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliant in 2004, well ahead of mandatory enforcement dates for the semiconductor industry. In April 2005, Samsung
Electronics designated us as an Eco-Partner Affiliate Company, which means that we have fulfilled Samsungs standards for controlling substances with environmental impacts within our products and for establishing a stable environmental quality
control system. In May 2006, we obtained a RoHS certification from Sony-Ericsson. In September 2006, we received ISO 9001:2000 certification for our world-wide operation sites. In December 2007, we earned a Green Partner certification
from Sony. We believe that our customers and potential customers recognize these certifications as a favorable industry acknowledgement for AnalogicTech as a quality-conscious, environmentally responsible green supplier.

We have completed transitioning a certain portion of our logistics, order entry, purchasing and billing functions to our office in Macau,
Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China (Macau). Global coordination for production and billing is now orchestrated from and on behalf of our Macau office. Other operation locations include Chupei, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Within operations, some back-end engineering functions are located in Shanghai, China; some fab sustaining and quality functions are located in Seoul, Korea.

Research and Development

We focus our research and development efforts on
design, process technology and packaging innovation. We have assembled a team of highly skilled engineers who have strong design expertise in analog, mixed-signal and power applications. Our staffs core competencies include high-frequency
conversion, low-noise switching and operation, light-load efficiency, protection and fault detection, precision parameter matching, fast current limiting, robust battery charging and analog functionality with extremely low

We utilize global design, test and product engineering resources in our product
development. At present, our largest design team is located in our Santa Clara headquarters, in close proximity to product definition, product line marketing and central applications. Through our acquisition in October 2006 of Analog Power
Semiconductor Corporation, we expanded our global engineering team and established the Shanghai design center, now fully integrated into our work force. In 2007, we deployed a common design platform for circuit simulation and CAD on a world-wide
basis. By enabling circuit reuse using standardized analog circuit libraries, unified design methodologies and process modularity, we believe we can further enhance design productivity, reduce technical risk and shorten time-to-market for new
product introductions. We expanded the cell library throughout 2008.

To direct product development, our marketing, central applications engineering, global sales
and field applications engineering force works with our customers system design, engineering and procurement groups to identify future product needs. Through these efforts, we seek to introduce new products to address emerging market
opportunities, to continue to reduce our design and manufacturing cost, and to continue to improve the cost effectiveness, size and performance of our solutions.

Today, the majority of our revenues comprise single-function five-volt power management products best suited for single-cell lithium-ion battery powered applications such as handsets and hand-held
portable consumer devices. Following an extensive innovation and technology development effort, we fully deployed our proprietary ModularBCD process technology in 2007, including process modules for low voltage and high voltage devices, and one-time
programmable memory. We believe ModularBCD opens a number of new market opportunities to us that advanced analog CMOS cannot effectively address. ModularBCD based products therefore represent growth opportunities for us in 2009 and beyond including:



| |  |  | Highly-integrated multi-function low-voltage power management ICs and PowerSOCs.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | High-voltage power management ICs, including 12V, 30V, 40V and 60V products.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Multi-voltage power management ICs comprising a mix of 3V, 5V, 12V, 30V, 40V and 60V circuitry.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In order to expedite product migration onto ModularBCD, we have successfully ported a number of circuits and functions from our existing
portfolio of analog CMOS based products. Combining these pre-existing functions monolithically in ModularBCD, we believe we can develop highly-integrated products with a modicum of integration complexity and application risk, ultimately shortening
the entire product development cycle time. To avoid limiting an integrated product to one customer or application, embedded one time programmable memory available in ModularBCD allows a products features to be customized and its voltages
trimmed in its final packaged form. We are now selling or sampling a number of highly-integrated products, including:



| |  |  | A PowerSOC for Bluetooth accessories combining a battery charger and multiple voltage regulators.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A power management unit, or PMU, companion for CDMA chip sets with programmable voltage regulators and built-in power sequencing.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A triple regulator mini-PMU for HD radios, MP3 players and personal navigation.

| |  |  | A multiple output lighting management unit, or LMU, to provide the panel power for small screen LCDs used in personal navigation devices, digital
picture frames & portable DVDs. The device consists of a boost converter and associated charge pumps to provide the panel bias power, a boost converter to drive a serial string of white LEDs to provide the panel backlight and a high
voltage, high slew rate operational amplifier to bias the displays VCOM.

In addition to highly integrated system PMUs and PowerSOCs, ModularBCDs 12 and 30-volt modules were also released to design and to manufacturing in 2007. The first high-voltage products introduced included a 12V SmartSwitch, a 12V
SwitchReg step-down voltage regulator, and a 28V over-voltage protection SafetySwitch for lithium ion batteries. One of the first multi-voltage ModularBCD products combines a 7V single-cell lithium ion battery charger with the 28V over-voltage
protection function. Other high-voltage released products include 20V, 30V and 40V boost converters for driving LED backlights in large format liquid crystal displays. These products are now being sampled and designed into customers systems.

We are able to implement our high-voltage products in two methods, either monolithically as a system-on-a-chip or using a
multi-chip assembly for a system-in-a package approach. Regardless, single- package system solutions offer our customers features, space savings, higher performance and ease-of-use, while reducing technical and applications risks. By
co-packaging our proprietary vertical TrenchDMOS power devices with a ModularBCD integrated circuit, we believe we can develop and offer system-in-a-package combination products in a shorter timeframe than that it typically takes us to develop a new
power management IC from inception. In some cases, a multi-chip solution may be preferred. For example, vertical TrenchDMOS offer lower resistances, higher current capability and more robust operation than integrated power devices, especially for
operation above 20 volts. We believe we are one of the few power management suppliers with our own discrete power device capability.

We support our research and development efforts for new products and improvements to our existing products with our technology development group, which is focused on creating, developing, characterizing and releasing into production new
wafer fabrication processes. We define and create processes, such as ModularBCD, that offer features, performance, devices, characteristics and capabilities not available through conventional foundry processes. We license these new processes to our
suppliers foundries for limited use. We also install these processes according to available resources and market timing. Our technology group oversees any transfers of our processes into a new facility to ensure that the unit process steps are
adapted properly to the new facilitys specific equipment set. Our technology group comprises expertise in device physics and characterization, device layout, process engineering and wafer fabrication.

To date, we have developed and released to production two wafer fabrication processes, ModularBCD, an advanced fully-isolated analog
integrated circuit process, and vertical TrenchDMOS, an advanced discrete power MOSFET process. ModularBCD is our patented IC process technology designed for integrating fully-isolated power, analog and mixed-signal circuitry of differing operating
voltages without the need for expensive epitaxial depositions or long high-temperature diffusions. Based on 0.35 micron features, it is a flexible, cost-effective process well-suited for precision analog and PowerSOC implementations. The majority of
our new product designs now in development utilize ModularBCD. In the fourth quarter of 2008, ModularBCD products represented 19% of revenue.

Vertical TrenchDMOS is our patented high-density low-resistance power transistor technology, used as a high-voltage high-current companion chip to ModularBCD controller ICs. While less strategic to our
business than ModularBCD, co-packaging vertical TrenchDMOS with our ICs to produce a system-in-a-package gives us an advantage over our competitors that do not have this capability, especially at higher voltages and currents.

Vertical TrenchDMOS is available in P- and N-channel versions ranging from 20- to 40-volts. In 2007, we introduced our first products
combining integrated circuit control and vertical TrenchDMOS power devices in a single package. TrenchDMOS is also the first process to be offered as part of our Foundry Direct strategy, where we license manufacturers to use our process
for applications outside of our target market at our partners fab. In 2007, we received payments from our first licensee under this program.

ModularBCD and TrenchDMOS processes were both designed and built for manufacturing using
equipment readily available in former DRAM fabs. Both processes use low temperature processing consistent with former DRAM fabs and large wafer diameters, as well as other process requirements typically only found in former DRAM fabs. Using the same
process modules as our vertical TrenchDMOS, a lateral TrenchDMOS device and process module has been developed and integrated into ModularBCD. Capable of operation from 30 volts to 60 volts the device is intrinsically robust like its discrete
counterpart with an on-state resistance significantly lower than conventional lateral DMOS transistors. Higher voltages are possible with minor changes in implants and device layout.

In 2008, 2007 and 2006, we spent $30.6 million, $31.1 million and $23.8 million, respectively, on research and development efforts. We
anticipate that we will continue to invest significant amounts in research and development activities to develop new products and processes. As a result, we expect research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars in future periods.

Intellectual Property

We rely on our patents, trade secret laws, contractual provisions, licenses, copyrights, trademarks and other proprietary rights to protect our intellectual property. We have more than 110 patents issued
or allowed in the United States or foreign countries and a larger number of pending applications. We cannot guarantee that our pending patent applications will be approved, that any issued patents will protect our intellectual property or will not
be challenged by third parties, or that the patents of others will not have an adverse effect on our ability to do business. We focus our patent efforts in the United States, and, when justified by cost and strategic importance, we file
corresponding foreign patent applications in such jurisdictions as Europe, South Korea, China, Taiwan and Japan. Our patent strategy is designed to provide a balance between the need for coverage in our strategic markets and the need to maintain
costs at a reasonable level.

Unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or obtain and use information
that we consider proprietary. Competitors may also recruit our employees who have access to our proprietary technologies. We cannot assure that the measures we have implemented to prevent misappropriation or infringement of our intellectual property
will be successful.

Competition

The analog, mixed-signal and power management semiconductor industry is highly competitive and dynamic, and we expect it to remain so. Our ability to compete effectively depends on defining, designing and
regularly introducing new products that meet or anticipate the power management needs of our customers next-generation products and applications. We compete with numerous domestic and international semiconductor companies, many of which have
greater financial and other resources with which to pursue marketing, technology development, product design, manufacturing, quality, sales and distribution of their products.

To our knowledge, no single competitor sells a product line matching one-to-one with our product portfolio and applications focus. We
consider our primary competitors to be Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., Linear Technology Corporation, Intersil Corporation, Texas Instruments Incorporated, Semtech Corporation and National Semiconductor Corporation. We expect continued competition
from existing suppliers as well as from new entrants into the power management semiconductor market. Our ability to compete depends on a number of factors, including:



| |  |  | our success in identifying new and emerging markets, applications and technologies, and developing power management solutions for these markets;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our products performance and cost effectiveness relative to that of our competitors products;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to deliver products in large volume on a timely basis at a competitive price;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS
|-------- | ------------

Our
customers may cancel their orders, change production quantities or delay production, and if we fail to forecast demand for our products accurately, we may incur product shortages, delays in product shipments or excess or insufficient product
inventory.

We generally do not obtain firm, long-term purchase commitments from our customers. Because production
lead times often exceed the amount of time required to fulfill orders, we often must build in advance of orders, relying on an imperfect demand forecast to project volumes and product mix. Our demand forecast accuracy can be adversely affected by a
number of factors, including inaccurate forecasting by our customers, changes in market conditions, new part introductions by our competitors that lead to our loss of previous design wins, adverse changes in our product order mix and demand for our
customers products or models. China, in particular, is an emerging market where forecasting by our distributors is not accurate, and there can be rapid changes in the distribution system and market conditions. Even after an order is received,
our customers may cancel these orders or request a decrease in production quantities. Any such cancellation or decrease subjects us to a number of risks, most notably that our projected sales will not materialize on schedule or at all, leading to
unanticipated revenue shortfalls and excess or obsolete inventory which we may be unable to sell to other customers. Alternatively, if we are unable to project customer requirements accurately, we may not build enough products, which could lead to
delays in product shipments and lost sales opportunities in the near term, as well as force our customers to identify alternative sources, which could affect our ongoing relationships with these customers. We have in the past had customers
dramatically increase their requested production quantities with little or no advance notice and after they had submitted their original order. We have on occasion been unable to fulfill these revised orders within the time period requested. Either
overestimating or underestimating demand would lead to excess, obsolete or insufficient inventory, which could harm our operating results, cash flow and financial condition, as well as our relationships with our customers.

We receive a substantial portion of our revenues from a small number of OEM customers and distributors, and the loss of, or a
significant reduction in, orders from those customers or our other largest customers would adversely affect our operations and financial condition.

We receive a substantial portion of our revenues from two of our OEM customers, Samsung of South Korea and LG Electronics Inc. of South Korea, as well as from a few of our distributors, such as ChiefTech
Electronics Ltd. of China. LG Electronics was our largest direct customer in 2008, 2007 and 2006, representing 25%, 20% and 28% of net revenues, respectively. Sales to Samsung accounted for 20% of our net revenue in 2008 and 11% of our net revenue
in both 2007 and 2006. Additionally, we sell to a number of contract manufacturers of Samsung. Total sales to Samsung and its contract manufacturers represented 36%, 25% and 20% of our net revenue for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. One
distributor, ChiefTech Electronics Limited, accounted for 6% and 15% of our net revenue in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

We
anticipate that we will continue to be dependent on these customers for a significant portion of our revenue in the immediate future; however, we do not have long-term contractual purchase commitments from them, and we cannot assure you that they
will continue to be our customers.

We received an aggregate of approximately 84% and 81% of our net revenues from our ten
largest customers in 2008 and 2007, respectively. Any action by one of our largest customers that affects our orders, product pricing or vendor status could significantly reduce our revenues and harm our financial results. In the future, our sales
to our large customers will continue to be susceptible to

##### Table of Contents

quarterly fluctuation as our customers manage their inventories, principally for seasonal variations. In particular, our customers increase in inventory of our products in advance of the
peak buying season during the second half of year for wireless handsets often leads to sequentially lower sales of our products in the first calendar quarter and, potentially, late in the fourth calendar quarter. Because our largest customers
account for such a significant part of our business, the loss of, or a decline in sales to, any of our major customers would negatively impact our business.

Our operating results have fluctuated in the past and we expect our operating results to continue to fluctuate.

Our revenues are difficult to predict and have varied significantly in the past from period to period. We expect our revenues and expense levels to continue to vary in the future, making it difficult to
predict our future operating results. In particular, we experience seasonality and variability in demand for our products as our customers manage their inventories. Our customers tend to increase inventory of our products in anticipation of the peak
fourth quarter buying season for the mobile consumer electronic devices in which our products are used, which often leads to sequentially lower sales of our products in the first calendar quarter and, potentially, late in the fourth calendar
quarter.

Additional factors that could cause our results to fluctuate include:



| |  |  | the forecasting, scheduling, rescheduling or cancellation of orders by our customers, particularly in China and other emerging markets;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | costs associated with litigation, especially related to intellectual property;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | liquidity and cash flow of our distributors, suppliers and end-market customers;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in manufacturing costs, including wafer, test and assembly costs, and manufacturing yields, product quality and reliability;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing and availability of adequate manufacturing capacity from our manufacturing suppliers;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to successfully define, design and release new products in a timely manner that meet our customers needs;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing, performance and pricing of new product introductions by us and by our competitors;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | general economic conditions in the countries where we operate or our products are used;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in exchange rates, interest rates, tax rates and tax withholding;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | geopolitical stability, especially affecting China, Taiwan and Asia in general; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in domestic and international tax laws.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------

Unfavorable changes in any of the above factors, most of which are beyond our control, could significantly harm our business and results of operations.

We may be required to record additional significant charges to earnings if our goodwill becomes impaired.

Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we review our goodwill for impairment each year as
of September 30thand when events or changes in
circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The carrying value of our goodwill may not be recoverable due to factors indicating a decrease in the value of the Company, such as a decline in stock price and market capitalization,
reduced estimates of future cash flows and slower growth rates in our industry. Estimates of future cash flows are based on an updated long- term financial outlook of our operations. However, actual performance in the near-term or long-term could be
materially different from these forecasts, which could impact future estimates. For example, a significant decline in our stock price and/or market capitalization may result in goodwill impairment. We may be required to record a charge to earnings
in our financial statements during a period in which an impairment of our goodwill is determined to exist, which may negatively impact our results of operations.

##### Table of Contents

We may be required to record impairment charges in future quarters as a result of the
decline in value of our investments in auction rate securities.

As of December 31, 2008, our investment portfolio
included $2.6 million of interest bearing auction rate securities (ARS). Our ARS represent investments in debt obligations collateralized by Federal Family Education Program student loans. At the time of acquisition, these ARS investments were
intended to provide liquidity via an auction process that resets the applicable interest rate at predetermined calendar intervals, allowing investors to either roll over their holdings or gain immediate liquidity by selling such interests at par.
The monthly auctions historically provided a liquid market for these securities. However, beginning in 2008, uncertainties in the credit markets have affected all of our holdings in ARS and auctions for our investments in these securities have
failed to settle on their respective settlement dates. Auctions for our investments in these securities continued to fail through December 31, 2008.

Consequently, the investments are not currently liquid and we will not be able to access these funds until a future auction of these investments is successful, a buyer is found outside of the auction
process or unless issuers agree to repurchase the ARS.

The valuation of our investment portfolio, including our investments
in ARS, is subject to uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Factors that may impact our valuation include changes to credit ratings of the securities as well as to the underlying assets supporting those securities, rates of default of the
underlying assets, underlying collateral value, discount rates, liquidity and ongoing strength and quality of credit markets.

If the current market conditions deteriorate further, the anticipated recovery in market values does not occur, or if we determine that we do not have the ability and intent to hold the ARS until a recovery of the auction process or until
maturity, we may be required to record impairment charges in future quarters which may negatively impact our results of operations.

We may be unsuccessful in developing and selling new products or in penetrating new markets. Our attempts to diversify our revenue into new applications and markets may defocus our product development and sales efforts and result in a
loss of revenue from existing customers and applications.

We operate in a dynamic environment characterized by rapidly
changing technologies and industry standards and technological obsolescence. Our competitiveness and future success depends on our ability to design, develop, manufacture, assemble, test, market and support new products and enhancements on a timely
and cost-effective basis. A fundamental shift in technologies in any of our product markets could harm our competitive position within these markets. Our failure to anticipate these shifts, to develop new technologies or to react to changes in
existing technologies could materially delay our development of new products, which could result in product obsolescence, decreased revenues and a loss of design wins to our competitors. For example, we introduced approximately 70 new products in
2008, however many of them have not been adopted by our customers as of December 31, 2008. The success of a new product depends on accurate forecasts of long-term market demand and future technological developments, as well as on a variety of
specific implementation factors, including:



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



| |  |  | timely and efficient completion of process design and device structure improvements and implementation of manufacturing, assembly and test processes;
and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the quality, performance and reliability of the product.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------

If we fail to introduce new products or penetrate new markets, our revenues will likely decrease over time and our financial condition could
suffer.

Conversely, attempts to develop new product lines to serve new applications and markets may defocus our efforts to
secure follow-on business in the markets and customers we presently serve and result in a loss of revenue. While such efforts to diversify our revenue from handset-related sales and ChargePump related backlighting applications may result in new
revenue growth, there is no guarantee that such revenue will become substantial or grow quickly enough to offset revenue loss in our existing markets and customers, should such a loss occur.

##### Table of Contents

We may not have the expertise we need to successfully define or develop products for such
new markets, and we may lack the sales connections and applications expertise to secure orders for such products. Identifying and hiring such resources may take too long to avoid a revenue loss. Attempts to balance product development and sales
efforts between new and existing applications may delay our entrance into new markets and make it more difficult to penetrate new customers and application opportunities in the future.

Due to defects and failures that may occur, our products may not meet specifications, which may cause customers to return or stop
buying our products and may expose us to product liability claims.

Our customers generally establish demanding
specifications for quality, performance and reliability that our products must meet. Integrated circuits, or ICs, as complex as ours often encounter development delays and may contain undetected defects or failures when first introduced or after
commencement of commercial shipments, which might require product replacement or recall. In addition, our customers may not use our products in a way that is consistent with our published specifications. If defects and failures occur in our products
during the design phase or after, or our customers use our products in ways that are not consistent with their intended use, we could experience lost revenues, increased costs, including warranty expense and costs associated with customer support,
delays in or cancellations or rescheduling of orders or shipments, or product returns or discounts, any of which would harm our operating results. We cannot assure you that we will have sufficient resources, including any available insurance, to
satisfy any asserted claims.

The nature of the design process requires us to incur expenses prior to earning revenues
associated with those expenses, and we will have difficulty selling our products if system designers do not design our products into their electronic systems.

We devote significant time and resources in working with our customers system designers to understand their future needs and to provide products that we believe will meet those needs. If a
customers system designer initially chooses a competitors product for a particular electronic system, it becomes significantly more difficult for us to sell our products for use in that electronic system because changing suppliers can
involve significant cost, time, effort and risk for our customers.

We often incur significant expenditures in the development
of a new product without any assurance that our customers system designers will select our product for use in their electronic systems. We often are required to anticipate which product designs will generate demand in advance of our customers
expressly indicating a need for that particular design. In some cases, there is minimal or no demand for our products in our anticipated target applications. Even if our products are selected by our customers system designers, a substantial
period of time will elapse before we generate revenues related to the significant expenses we have incurred. The reasons for this delay generally include the following elements of our product sales and development cycle timeline and related
influences:



| |  |  | our customers usually require a comprehensive technical evaluation of our products before they incorporate them into their electronic systems;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | it can take up to 12 months from the time our products are selected to complete the design process;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | it can take an additional nine to 12 months or longer to complete commercial introduction of the electronic systems that use our products, if they are
introduced at all;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | original equipment manufacturers typically limit the initial release of their electronic systems to evaluate performance and consumer demand; and

We estimate that the overall sales and development cycle timeline of an average product is approximately 16 months.

Additionally, even if system designers use our products in their electronic systems, we cannot assure you that these systems will be
commercially successful. As a result, we are unable to accurately forecast the volume and timing of our orders and revenues associated with any new product introductions.

Any increase in the manufacturing cost of our products could reduce our gross margins
and operating profit.

The semiconductor business exhibits ongoing competitive pricing pressure from customers and
competitors. Accordingly, any increase in the cost of our products, whether by adverse purchase price variances or adverse manufacturing cost variances, will reduce our gross margins and operating profit. For example, if we do not incorporate the
partially fabricated wafers held for us by our suppliers into our products in a timely fashion, we may still become obligated to purchase these materials, which may reduce our gross margins. We do not have many long-term supply agreements with our
manufacturing suppliers and, consequently, we may not be able to obtain price reductions or anticipate or prevent future price increases from our suppliers.

The average selling price of our products may decline, or a change in the mix of product orders may occur, either of which could reduce our gross margins.

During a power management products life, its selling price tends to decrease for a particular application. As a result, to maintain
gross margins on our products, we must continue to identify new applications for our products, reduce manufacturing costs for our existing products and introduce new products. If we are unable to identify new, high gross margin applications for our
existing products, reduce our production costs or sell new, high gross margin products, our gross margins will suffer. A sustained reduction in our gross margins could harm our future operating results, cash flow and financial condition, which could
lead to a significant drop in the price of our common stock.

Because we receive a substantial portion of our revenues
through distributors, their financial viability and ability to access the capital markets could impact our ability to continue to do business with them and could result in lower revenues, which could adversely affect our operating results and our
customer relationships.

We obtain a portion of our revenues through sales to distributors located in Asia who act as
our fulfillment representatives. Sales to distributors accounted for 31%, 42% and 39% of our revenues for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In the normal course of their operation as fulfillment representatives, these distributors typically perform
functions such as order scheduling, shipment coordination, inventory stocking, payment and collections and, when applicable, currency exchange between purchasers of our products and these distributors. Our distributors compensation for these
functions is reflected in the price of the products we sell to these distributors. Many of our current distributors also serve as our sales representatives procuring orders for us to fill directly. If these distributors are unable to pay us in a
timely manner or if we anticipate that they will not pay us, we may elect to withhold future shipments, which could adversely affect our operating results. If one of our distributors experiences severe financial difficulties, becomes insolvent or
declares bankruptcy, or experiences a significant delay in receipt of payment from any of its customers, we could lose product inventory held by that distributor and we could be required to write off the value of any receivables owed to us by that
distributor. We could also be required to record bad debt expense in excess of our reserves. We may not be successful in recognizing these indications or in finding replacement distributors in a timely manner, or at all, any of which could harm our
operating results, cash flow and financial condition.

Our distributor arrangements often require us to accept product
returns and to provide price protection and if we fail to properly estimate our product returns and price protection reserves, this may adversely impact our reported financial information.

A substantial portion of our sales are made through third-party distribution arrangements, which include stock rotation rights that generally
permit the return of up to 5% of the previous six months purchases. We generally accept these returns in the second and fourth quarter of each annual period. Our arrangements with our distributors typically also include price protection
provisions if we reduce our list prices. We record estimated returns at the time of shipment, and we record reserves for price protection at the time we decide to reduce our list prices. In the future, we could receive returns or claims that are in
excess of our estimates and reserves, which could harm our operating results.

##### Table of Contents

Our distributor arrangements often require us to accept returns of unsold products if
contractual arrangements with a distributor are terminated, which could harm our operating results or, if we fail to take steps, could harm our relationship with these distributors and lead to a loss of revenues.

If our relationship with any of our distributors deteriorates or terminates, it could lead to a temporary or permanent loss of revenues until
a replacement sales channel can be established to service the affected end-user customers, as well as inventory write-offs or accounts receivable write-offs. We may not be successful in finding suitable alternative distributors and this could
adversely affect our ability to sell in certain locations or to certain end-user customers. We also may be obligated to repurchase unsold products from a distributor if we decide to terminate our relationship with that distributor.

Our current backlog may not be indicative of future sales.

Due to the nature of our business, in which order lead times may vary, and the fact that customers are generally allowed to reschedule or
cancel orders on short notice, we believe that our backlog is not necessarily a good indicator of our future sales. Our quarterly revenues also depend on orders booked and shipped in that quarter. Because our lead times for the manufacturing of our
products generally take six to ten weeks, we often must build in advance of orders. This exposes us to certain risks, most notably the possibility that expected sales will not occur, which may lead to excess inventory, and we may not be able to sell
this inventory to other customers. In addition, we supply LG Electronics, one of our largest customers, through its central hub and we do not record backlog with respect to the products we ship to the hub. Therefore, our backlog may not be a
reliable indicator of future sales.

If consumer demand for mobile consumer electronic devices declines, our revenues
will decrease.

Our products are used primarily in the mobile consumer electronic devices market. For the foreseeable
future, we expect to see the significant majority of our revenues continue to come from this market, especially in wireless handsets. If consumer demand for these products declines and fewer mobile customer electronic devices are sold, our revenues
will decrease significantly. For example, in an adverse economic climate, consumers are less likely to prioritize purchasing new mobile consumer electronic devices or upgrading existing devices. In addition, if we are unsuccessful in identifying
alternative markets for our products in a timely manner, our operating results will suffer dramatically.

Substantially
all of our manufacturing suppliers, customers and operations are located in Asia, which subjects us to additional risks, including regional economic influences, logistical complexity, political instability and natural disasters including
earthquakes.

We conduct, and expect to continue to conduct, almost all of our business with companies that are located
outside the United States. Based on ship-to locations, more than 95% of our 2008, 2007 and 2006 revenues came from customers in Asia, particularly South Korea, Taiwan, China and Japan. A vast majority of our contract manufacturing operations are
located in South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia and China. In addition, we have a design center in Shanghai, China. As a result of our international focus, we face several challenges, including:



| |  |  | increased complexity and costs of managing international operations;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | longer and more difficult collection of receivables;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



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



| |  |  | limited protection of our intellectual property;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | unanticipated changes in local regulations, including tax regulations;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



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



| |  |  | foreign currency exchange fluctuations relating to our international operating activities.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our corporate headquarters in Santa Clara, California, our operations office in Chupei, Taiwan, and the production facilities of one of our
wafer fabrication suppliers and several of our assembly and test suppliers in Hsinchu and across Taiwan are located near seismically active regions and are subject to periodic earthquakes. We do not maintain earthquake insurance and our business
could be damaged in the event of a major earthquake or other natural disaster.

In addition to risks in our operations from natural disasters, our customers are also
subject to these risks. Any disaster impacting our customers could result in loss of orders, delay of business and temporary regional economic recessions.

We are also more susceptible to the regional economic impact of health crises. Because we anticipate that we will continue to rely heavily on foreign companies or U.S. companies operating in Asia for our
future growth, the above risks and issues that we do not currently anticipate could adversely affect our ability to conduct business and our results of operations.

We outsource our wafer fabrication, testing, packaging, warehousing and shipping operations to third parties, and rely on these parties to produce and deliver our products according to requested
demands in specification, quantity, cost and time.

We rely on third parties for substantially all of our manufacturing
operations, including wafer fabrication, wafer probe, wafer thinning, assembly, final test, warehousing and shipping. We depend on these parties to supply us with material of a requested quantity in a timely manner that meets our standards for
yield, cost and manufacturing quality. Any problems with our manufacturing supply chain could adversely impact our ability to ship our products to our customers on time and in the quantity required, which in turn could cause an unanticipated decline
in our sales and possibly damage our customer relationships. An economic slowdown such as the current economic recession could adversely affect the financial strength of our vendors and adversely impact their ability to manufacture product,
resulting in a shortage or delay in product shipments to our customers. Lacking adequate cash or credit, our suppliers may be unable or unwilling to make necessary capital investment in equipment and production lines to expand capacity or enhance
their capability as needed to support our present or future business.

Our products are manufactured at a limited number of
locations. If we experience manufacturing problems at a particular location or with a particular supplier, we would be required to transfer manufacturing to a backup supplier. Converting or transferring manufacturing from a primary supplier to a
backup fabrication facility could be expensive and could take as long as six to 12 months. During such a transition, we would be required to meet customer demand from our then-existing inventory, as well as any partially finished goods that can be
modified to the required product specifications. We do not seek to maintain sufficient inventory to address a lengthy transition period because we believe it is uneconomical to keep more than minimal inventory on hand. As a result, we may not be
able to meet customer needs during such a transition, which could delay shipments, cause a production delay or stoppage for our customers, result in a decline in our sales and damage our customer relationships. Should we be required to manufacture
safety stock and finished goods to insure against any supply interruptions to our customers, there is no guarantee that our customers would necessarily purchase the extra material and excess inventory may result. There is no guarantee we would be
able to sell that excess inventory to other customers and we may have to write-off this material as an expense adversely affecting our financial performance.

In addition, a significant portion of our sales are to customers that practice just-in-time order management from their suppliers, which gives us a very limited amount of time in which to process and
complete these orders. As a result, delays in our production or shipping by the parties to whom we outsource these functions could reduce our sales, damage our customer relationships and damage our reputation in the marketplace, any of which could
harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The loss of any of our key personnel could seriously
harm our business, and our failure to attract or retain specialized technical and management talent could impair our ability to grow our business.

The loss of services of one or more of our key personnel could seriously harm our business. In particular, our ability to define and design new products, gain new customers and grow our business depends
on the continued contributions of Richard K. Williams, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technical Officer, as well as our senior level sales, finance, operations, technology and engineering personnel. Our future growth will also
depend significantly on our ability to recruit and retain qualified and talented



30

##### Table of Contents

managers and engineers, along with key manufacturing, quality, sales and marketing staff members. There remains intense competition for these individuals in our industry, especially those with
power and analog semiconductor design and applications expertise. We cannot assure you we will be successful in finding, hiring and retaining these individuals. If we are unable to recruit and retain such talent, our product and technology
development, manufacturing, marketing and sales efforts could be impaired.

In economic downturns where consumer demand for
our customers products is reduced or delayed, we expect lower revenue and reduced profitability. If the slowdown is projected to last longer than one to two quarters, we may implement certain cost reduction actions including spending controls,
forced holidays and company shutdowns, employee layoffs, shortened work-weeks, and involuntary salary reductions. It is uncertain what affect such measures may have on our ability to retain key talent and staff members, or our ability to rehire
employees should business improve. For example, in December 2008, we reduced our headcount by 12% globally and announced employee salary reductions. It is unclear what long term affect these actions may have on our ability to recruit and retain
engineering, sales and managerial talent.

We may not be able to sustain our historical growth rate, and we may not be
able to manage any future growth effectively.

We experienced significant growth in a short period of time. Our
revenues increased from approximately $1.0 million in 2001 to $109.6 million in 2007. We do not expect to achieve similar growth rates in future periods. For example, our revenues were $90.3 million in 2008, compared to $109.6 million in 2007, a
decrease of 18%. You should not rely on our operating results for any prior quarterly or annual periods as an indication of our future operating performance. If we are unable to maintain adequate revenue growth, our financial results could suffer
and our stock price could decline.

We have also grown from 110 employees on January 1, 2004 to 281 employees on
December 31, 2008, with many located in regional and international offices. Our international growth may subject us to income and transaction taxes in the United States and in multiple foreign locations. Our future effective tax rates could be
affected by changes in our U.S. and foreign tax estimates and liabilities, or changes in tax laws or the interpretation of such tax laws. If additional taxes are assessed against us, our operating results or financial condition could be materially
affected.

Our expansion has placed a significant strain on our management, personnel, systems and resources. Any future
expansion is likely to result in additional strain on our managerial infrastructure. To manage our growth successfully and handle the responsibilities of being a public company, we believe we must effectively:



| |  |  | recruit, hire, train and manage additional qualified engineers for our research and development activities, especially in the positions of design
engineering, product and test engineering, and applications engineering;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | continue to implement and improve adequate administrative, financial and operational systems, procedures and controls; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | enhance our information technology support for enterprise resource planning and design engineering by adapting and expanding our systems and tool
capabilities, and properly training new hires as to their use.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If we are unable to manage our growth
effectively, we may not be able to take advantage of market opportunities or develop new products, our introduction of derivative products may be delayed and we may fail to satisfy customer requirements, maintain product quality, execute our
business plan or respond to competitive pressures.

A failure to maintain our international structure may adversely
affect our tax rate, financial condition and operating results.

During 2005, we realigned certain areas of our
operations in connection with the implementation of an international structure. This realignment required us to transfer certain functions previously handled in our Santa Clara, California headquarters to offices in foreign jurisdictions, primarily
Macau. If we fail to maintain our realigned operations, our operating results may be adversely

affected. Additionally, our international structure results in an increased volume of transactions and accounting for those transactions may require us to increase our headcount either
domestically or internationally. A failure to process those transactions in an accurate and timely manner could be indicative of a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. Our international structure requires that we
understand complex tax laws and regulations in various domestic and international jurisdictions. If we are unable to comply with domestic and international tax laws, our tax rate and our financial condition may be adversely impacted. Further, the
domestic and international tax laws governing our structure are subject to change, which could adversely affect our operations and financial results. We are currently undergoing an audit by the Internal Revenue Service for our 2005, 2006 and 2007
tax years. In connection with this audit, the IRS could challenge certain tax positions regarding our international structure. If such a challenge is successful, our financial results and financial condition could be materially and adversely
affected.

Changes in effective tax rates or adverse outcomes resulting from examination of our income tax returns could
adversely affect our results.

Our future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by lower than anticipated
earnings in countries where we have lower statutory rates and higher than anticipated earnings in countries where we have higher statutory rates, by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, or by changes in tax laws,
regulations, accounting principles or interpretations thereof. Further, as a result of certain ongoing employment and capital investment commitments made by us, our income in certain countries is subject to reduced tax rates, and in some cases is
wholly exempt from tax. Our failure to meet such commitments could adversely impact our effective tax rate. In addition, we are subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax
authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. There can be no assurance that the outcomes from these continuous examinations will
not have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

We compete against companies with
substantially greater financial and other resources, and our market share or gross margins may be reduced if we are unable to respond to competitive challenges effectively.

The analog, mixed-signal, or analog with digital, and power management semiconductor industry in which we operate is highly competitive and
dynamic, and we expect it to remain so. Our ability to compete effectively depends on defining, designing and regularly introducing new products that meet or anticipate the power management needs of our customers next-generation products and
applications. We compete with numerous domestic and international semiconductor companies, many of which have greater financial and other resources with which to pursue marketing, technology development, product design, manufacturing, quality, sales
and distribution of their products.

We consider our primary competitors to be Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., Linear
Technology Corporation, Intersil Corporation, Texas Instruments Incorporated, Semtech Corporation and National Semiconductor Corporation. We expect continued competition from existing competitors as well as from new entrants into the power
management semiconductor market. Our ability to compete depends on a number of factors, including:



| |  |  | our success in identifying new and emerging markets, applications and technologies, and developing power management solutions for these markets;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our products performance and cost effectiveness relative to that of our competitors products;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to deliver products in large volume on a timely basis at a competitive price;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our success in utilizing new and proprietary technologies to offer products and features previously not available in the marketplace;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to recruit application engineers and designers; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to protect our intellectual property.

We cannot assure you that our products will compete favorably or that we will be successful
in the face of increasing competition from new products and enhancements introduced by our existing competitors or new companies entering this market.

Assertions by third parties of infringement by us of their intellectual property rights could result in significant costs, reduce sales of our products and cause our operating results to suffer.

The semiconductor industry is characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit of intellectual property rights and
positions, which has resulted in protracted and expensive litigation for many companies. We have in the past received, and expect that in the future we may receive, communications from various industry participants alleging our infringement of their
patents, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights. Any lawsuits resulting from such allegations could subject us to significant liability for damages and invalidate our proprietary rights. Any potential intellectual property litigation
also could force us to do one or more of the following:



| |  |  | stop selling products or using technology that contain the allegedly infringing intellectual property;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | incur significant legal expenses;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------



| |  |  | pay damages to the party claiming infringement;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | redesign those products that contain the allegedly infringing intellectual property; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | attempt to obtain a license to the relevant intellectual property from third parties, which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We initiated a lawsuit against Linear Technology Corporation in February 2006 for unfair business
practices, interference with existing and prospective customers and trade libel, as well as a declaration of patent invalidity and non-infringement. In this case, we are seeking to prevent Linear Technology from continuing a marketing campaign
designed to disrupt our business relationships and sales by suggesting to our customers that our products infringe several U.S. patents owned by Linear Technology. As we informed Linear Technology in 2003 and 2004, and as discussed in our prior
public filings, we believe that none of our products infringe the patents in question. However, whether or not we prevail in this lawsuit, we expect to incur significant legal expenses related to this case. In February 2006, in a related action,
Linear Technology petitioned the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) requesting that the USITC initiate an investigation to determine if certain of our products infringe certain patents owned by Linear Technology under
Section 337 of the Tariff Act. The patents involved in this action are a subset of the patents involved in the lawsuit that we filed against Linear Technology. The accused products include charge pumps and switching regulators and are similar
to the products involved in our lawsuit with Linear Technology.

In a Final Determination issued September 24, 2007, the
USITC left unchanged its earlier initial determination that our charge pumps do not violate Section 337 of the Tariff Act because they do not infringe any valid claim of U.S. Patent No. 6,411,531 (531 Patent) owned by Linear
Technology.

The Final Determination also found that a majority of our switching regulator designs do not infringe
Linears Patent No. 6,580,258 (258 Patent). The USITC also found that one family of switching regulator products infringes certain claims of the 258 Patent. Following normal USITC procedure, the USITC issued a limited exclusion
order under Section 337 of the Tariff Act prohibiting the direct importation by us of this particular product family. This exclusion order does not, however, prevent our customers from importing their products into the United States. Linear
Technologys request that downstream products be barred from importation was denied.

Linear Technology has appealed
portions of the Final Determination to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. This appeal is bifurcated into separate charge pump and switching regulator portions. On August 28, 2008 the Court of Appeals issued a ruling on
the charge pump portion and upheld the invalidity of the 531 Patent. We believe that this ends the unsuccessful attempt by Linear Technology to assert its 531 Patent against AATI at the International Trade Commission. The separate appeal
for the switching regulator portion remains pending at the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

##### Table of Contents

On October 1, 2008, the USITC served notice that it will begin a formal enforcement
proceeding for the limited exclusion order originally issued on September 24, 2007. The enforcement proceeding has been undertaken at the request of Linear Technology which has alleged that we have violated the limited exclusion order by
importing certain switching regulator products. We believe that these allegations are not based in fact and that none of our products infringe the Linear Technology patents in question. Our domestic sales of these products have been minimal to date
and we expect domestic sales of these products to be minimal in future periods. However, whether or not we prevail in this proceeding, we expect to incur significant legal expenses which will be expensed when incurred.

Uncertainty over the outcome of our litigation with Linear Technology may cause our customers or potential customers to elect not to include
our products that are the subject of this litigation into the design of their systems. Once a customers system designer initially chooses a competitors product for a particular electronic system, it becomes significantly more difficult
for us to sell our products for use in that electronic system, because changing suppliers can involve significant cost, time, effort and risk for our customers. As a result, our litigation with Linear Technology or any similar future litigation may
reduce both our current and future revenues. If we are unsuccessful in this case, our business and our ability to compete in foreign markets could be harmed, and we could be enjoined from selling the accused products in the United States, either
directly or indirectly, which could have a material adverse impact on our revenues, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights adequately could impair our ability to compete effectively or to defend ourselves from litigation, which could harm our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

We rely primarily on patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well
as confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements to protect our proprietary technologies and know-how. While we have more than 110 patents issued or allowed in the United States or foreign countries and a larger number of pending applications,
the rights granted to us may not be meaningful or provide us with any commercial advantage. For example, these patents could be challenged or circumvented by our competitors or be declared invalid or unenforceable in judicial or administrative
proceedings. The failure of our patents to adequately protect our technology might make it easier for our competitors to offer similar products or technologies. Our foreign patent protection is generally not as comprehensive as our U.S. patent
protection and may not protect our intellectual property in some countries where our products are sold or may be sold in the future. Even if foreign patents are granted, effective enforcement in foreign countries may not be available. Many
U.S.-based companies have encountered substantial intellectual property infringement in foreign countries, including countries where we sell products.

Monitoring unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult and costly. It is possible that unauthorized use of our intellectual property may occur without our knowledge. We cannot assure you
that the steps we have taken will prevent unauthorized use of our intellectual property. Our failure to effectively protect our intellectual property could reduce the value of our technology in licensing arrangements or in cross-licensing
negotiations, and could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. We may in the future need to initiate infringement claims or litigation. Litigation, whether we are a plaintiff or a defendant, can be expensive,
time-consuming and may divert the efforts of our technical staff and managerial personnel, which could harm our business, whether or not such litigation results in a determination favorable to us.

Any acquisitions we make could disrupt our business, result in integration difficulties or fail to realize anticipated benefits, which
could adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

We may choose to acquire companies,
technologies, assets and personnel that are complementary to our business, including for the purpose of expanding our new product design capacity, introducing new design, market or application skills or enhancing and expanding our existing product
lines. In October 2006, we acquired Analog Power Semiconductor Corporation and related assets and personnel, primarily located in Shanghai, China. In June 2008, we acquired Elite Micro Devices, located in Shanghai, China. Acquisitions involve
numerous risks, including the following:



| |  |  | difficulties in integrating the operations, systems, technologies, products and personnel of the acquired companies;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



34



---

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | diversion of managements attention from normal daily operations of the business and the challenges of managing larger and more widespread
operations resulting from acquisitions;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in entering markets in which we may have no or limited direct prior experience and where competitors may have stronger market positions;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the potential loss of key employees, customers, distributors, suppliers and other business partners of the companies we acquire following and
continuing after announcement of acquisition plans;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | improving and expanding our management information systems to accommodate expanded operations;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | insufficient revenue to offset increased expenses associated with acquisitions; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | addressing unforeseen liabilities of acquired businesses.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------

Acquisitions may also cause us to:



| |  |  | issue capital stock that would dilute our current stockholders percentage ownership;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | use a substantial portion of our cash resources or incur debt;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | assume liabilities;
| | - |  | -------------------



| |  |  | record goodwill or incur amortization expenses related to certain intangible assets; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | incur large and immediate write-offs and other related expenses.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------

Any of these factors could prevent us from realizing the anticipated benefits of an acquisition, and our failure to realize these benefits
could adversely affect our business. In addition, we may not be successful in identifying future acquisition opportunities or in consummating any acquisitions that we may pursue on favorable terms, if at all. Any transactions that we complete may
impair stockholder value or otherwise adversely affect our business and the market price of our stock. Failure to manage and successfully integrate acquisitions could materially harm our financial condition and operating results.

Our operating results, financial condition and cash flows may be adversely impacted by worldwide political and economic uncertainties
and specific conditions in the markets we address, including the cyclical nature of and volatility in the semiconductor industry.

The semiconductor industry has historically exhibited cyclical behavior which at various times has included significant downturns in customer demand. These conditions have caused significant variations in
product orders and production capacity utilization, as well as price erosion. Because a significant portion of our expenses is fixed in the near term or is incurred in advance of anticipated sales, we may not be able to decrease our expenses rapidly
enough to offset any unanticipated shortfall in revenues. If this situation were to occur, it could adversely affect our operating results, cash flow and financial condition.

Additionally, general worldwide economic conditions have recently experienced a downturn due to slower economic activity, concerns about
inflation and deflation, fears of recession, increased energy costs, decreased consumer confidence, reduced corporate profits and capital spending, adverse business conditions and liquidity concerns in the wired and wireless communications markets,
recent international conflicts and terrorist and military activity and the impact of natural disasters and public health emergencies. Our operations and performance depend significantly on worldwide economic conditions and their impact on consumer
spending, which has recently deteriorated significantly in many countries and regions, including the United States and Asia, and may remain depressed for the foreseeable future. For example, some of the factors that could influence consumer spending
include continuing increases in fuel and other energy costs, conditions in the residential real estate and mortgage markets, labor and healthcare costs, access to credit, consumer confidence and other factors affecting consumer spending behavior.
These and other economic factors could have a material adverse effect on demand for our products and on our financial condition and operating results. In addition, these conditions make it extremely difficult for our customers, our vendors and us to
accurately forecast and plan future business activities, and they could cause U.S. and foreign businesses to slow spending on our products and services, which would delay and lengthen sales cycles.

We cannot predict the timing, strength or duration of any economic slowdown or subsequent economic recovery, worldwide, or in the semiconductor industry. If the economy or markets in which we
operate do not continue at their present levels, our business, financial condition and results of operations will likely be materially and adversely affected.

Our business may be adversely impacted if our end customers cannot obtain sufficient supplies of other components in their products to meet their production projections and target quantities.

Our power management products are used by our customers in conjunction with a number of other components such as
digital integrated circuits, baseband processors, microcontrollers and digital signal processors. If for any reason our customers incur a shortage of any component, their ability to produce the forecasted quantity of their end product or model may
be adversely affected and our product sales would decline until such shortage is remedied. Such a situation could harm our operating results, cash flow and financial condition.

A failure of our information systems would adversely impact our ability to process orders for and manufacture products.

We operate a multinational business enterprise with manufacturing, administration and sales groups located in Asia,
Europe and the United States. These disparate groups are currently connected by a private network-based enterprise resource planning system, where daily manufacturing operations and order entry functions rely on maintaining a reliable network among
locations. Any failure of our computer network or our enterprise resource planning system would impede our ability to schedule orders, monitor production work in process and ship and bill our finished goods to our customers.

|------- | ----------

Our principal
executive offices are located in a leased facility in Santa Clara, California, consisting of approximately 42,174 square feet of office space, under a nine-year sublease that expires in 2016. This facility accommodates our principal engineering,
technology, administrative and finance activities.

We entered into a lease for a facility in Shanghai, China comprising
19,036 square feet of office space, expiring in 2010. This facility accommodates our secondary engineering activities.

Our
manufacturing operations, planning, logistics and package engineering activities are located throughout Asia where we lease approximately 7,030 square feet of office space in Hong Kong under a three-year lease that expires in 2009; approximately
13,837 square feet of office space in Chupei, Taiwan, under a three-year lease that expires in 2010; and approximately 3,671 square feet of office space in Macau under a five-year lease that expires in 2012.

Our Asia sales offices occupy additional leased facilities in Taipei, Taiwan; Tokyo, Japan; Seoul, South Korea; and Shanghai, Beijing and
Shenzen, China. In Europe, we have an additional sales office lease in London, England. In 2008, we closed our offices in Stockholm, Sweden and Paris, France due to demographic shifts in the design activities of our customers.

We do not own any real property. We believe that our leased facilities are adequate to meet our current needs and that additional facilities
are available for lease to meet future needs.

|ITEM 3. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|------- | -----------------

In May
2003, we received a letter from Linear Technology Corporation (Linear Technology) alleging that certain of our charge pump products infringed United States Patent No. 6,411,531 (531 Patent) owned by Linear Technology. In
August 2004, we received a letter from Linear Technology alleging that certain of our switching regulator products infringed United States Patent Nos. 5,481,178, 6,304,066 and 6,580,258 (258 Patent). In response to these letters, we contacted
Linear Technology to convey our good faith belief that we do not infringe the patents in question. Subsequently, we became aware of a marketing campaign conducted by Linear Technology in which it sought to disrupt our business relationships and
sales by suggesting to our customers that our products infringe the same U.S. patents mentioned in its two letters to us. As a result, in February 2006, we initiated a lawsuit against Linear Technology for unfair business practices, interference
with existing and prospective customers and trade libel, as well as a declaration of patent invalidity and non-infringement. This case is currently stayed pending the outcome of the United States International Trade Commission (USITC)
investigation described in the following paragraphs.

In March 2006, the USITC responded to a complaint filed by Linear
Technology by initiating an investigation under Section 337 of the Tariff Act to determine if certain of our products infringe certain patents owned by Linear Technology. The accused products include charge pumps and switching regulators and
are similar to the products involved in our lawsuit with Linear Technology.

In a Final Determination issued
September 24, 2007, the USITC left unchanged its earlier initial determination that our charge pumps do not violate Section 337 of the Tariff Act because they do not infringe any valid claim of 531 Patent owned by Linear Technology.

The Final Determination also found that a majority of our switching regulator designs do not infringe Linear
Technologys 258 Patent. The USITC also found that one family of switching regulator products infringes certain claims of the 258 Patent. Following normal USITC procedure, the USITC issued a limited exclusion order under
Section 337 of the Tariff Act prohibiting the direct importation by us of this particular product family. This exclusion order does not, however, prevent our customers from importing their products into the United States. To date, our sales of
this product family in the United States have been minimal. Linear Technologys request that downstream products be barred from importation was denied.

Linear Technology has appealed portions of the Final Determination to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. This appeal is bifurcated into separate charge pump and switching
regulator portions. On August 28, 2008 the Court of Appeals issued a ruling on the charge pump portion and upheld the invalidity of the 531 Patent. We believe that this ends the unsuccessful attempt by Linear Technology to assert its
531 Patent against us at the International Trade Commission. The separate appeal for the switching regulator portion remains pending at the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

On October 1, 2008, the USITC served notice that it will begin a formal enforcement proceeding for the limited exclusion order
originally issued on September 24, 2007. The enforcement proceeding has been undertaken at the request of Linear Technology which has alleged that we have violated the limited exclusion order by importing certain switching regulator products.
We believe that these allegations are not based in fact and that none of our products infringe the Linear Technology patents in question. Our domestic sales of these products have been minimal to date and we expect domestic sales of these products
to be minimal in future periods. However, whether or not we prevail in this proceeding, we expect to incur significant legal expenses which will be expensed when incurred.

|ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes which appear elsewhere
in this report on Form 10-K/A. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see Forward-Looking Statements for a discussion of uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these
statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this report on Form 10-K/A, particularly under the
heading Risk Factors.

The following discussion reflects the effects of the restatement discussed in Note 15 -
Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements to the consolidated financial statements.

Overview

We are a supplier of power management semiconductors for consumer, communications and computing electronic devices, such
as wireless handsets, notebook and tablet computers, smartphones, camera phones, digital cameras, personal media players, personal navigation and GPS devices, Bluetooth headphones and accessories, personal and digital multimedia TVs, set top boxes
and displays. We focus our design and marketing efforts on the application-specific power management needs in these rapidly-evolving devices. We currently offer a portfolio of over 650 power management products comprising Power Management
application-specific standard products, or ASSPs, and selected general-purpose analog integrated circuits, or ICs, in single-chip, multi-chip and chip-scale packages. We sell directly to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, including LG
Electronics, Inc., Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB, ZTE Corporation and Flextronics International Ltd. We sell through distributors and original design manufacturers, or ODMs, and to other system designers,
including USI Corporation, Longcheer Holdings Ltd., Tianyu Communication Equipment Co., Ltd, Foxconn Electronics Inc., and Gemtek Technology Co. Ltd.

We were incorporated in 1997 and commenced operations in 1998. From 1998 to 2000, we were primarily involved in developing our technology, recruiting personnel and raising capital. Since 2001, we have
focused on delivering products for what we believe to be large and high-growth market opportunities. However, we operate in the semiconductor industry, which is cyclical and has experienced significant fluctuations, and our revenues are impacted by
these broad industry trends. We operate as a fabless semiconductor company, working with third parties to manufacture and assemble our integrated circuits, or ICs, rather than manufacturing them ourselves. This business model has enabled us to
reduce our capital expenditures and fixed costs, while focusing our engineering and design resources on our core strengths. We believe this model also reduces the impact on our business of seasonality, cyclicality and fluctuations in demand.

We currently derive a significant portion of our revenues from sales of our Charge Pump product family, which is primarily
used for driving white LED backlighting of small color displays in portable applications. We are currently diversifying our business and R&D efforts into new applications within our existing markets such as battery chargers, high-brightness
camera flash and

powering active-matrix organic light emitting diodes or AM-OLED displays, and into new markets such as notebook and netbook computers, HDTVs and large area LCD panel backlighting, and new router
and datacom applications. We also believe energy conservation and green products will become increasingly important growth opportunities for power management semiconductors in the future.

Our patented ModularBCD wafer fabrication process technology expands our capability to develop high performance power solutions addressing
these new markets and applications with products including higher-voltage and higher-current DC-DC switching voltage regulators, over-voltage protected lithium-ion battery chargers and multi-voltage power system-on-a-chip or PowerSOC solutions.
Since the introduction of our ModularBCD technology in 2006, the revenue derived from sales of ModularBCD technology based products has increased and now represents 19% of our revenues in the fourth quarter of 2008 and 13% of overall 2008 revenues.
We believe that our revenue and market diversification may occur gradually and over time, requiring several years to fully realize.

In addition to our patented process technologies, we continue to aggressively pursue inventing and patenting new innovations in circuit design and design methodologies such as novel switching regulators and battery chargers, in package
design to expand our system integration capability, and in power system architecture to improve overall performance, power efficiency, heat dissipation and reliability in the applications we serve. As of the end of 2008, we had over 110 United
States patents either issued or pending.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our 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 United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, inventory valuation, stock-based compensation, income taxes, goodwill,
long-lived assets and investments. 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. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions which may adversely affect our results of operations
and/or our financial position. We discuss the development and selection of the critical accounting estimates with the audit committee of our board of directors on a quarterly basis, and the audit committee has reviewed our disclosure relating to
them in this annual report on Form 10-K/A.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue
Recognition

We recognize revenues in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (SAB
No. 104), Revenue Recognition. SAB No. 104 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenues can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services
have been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Criteria (1) and (2) are met upon receiving of purchase orders or signing of contracts and upon transfer of title which
generally occurs at the time of shipment. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) is based on managements judgment regarding the determinability of the fees charged for products delivered and the collectibility of those fees. If
changes in conditions cause management to determine these criteria are not met for certain future transactions, revenues recognized for any reporting period could decline.

A large portion of our sales is made through distribution arrangements with third parties. These arrangements include stock rotation rights
that generally permit the return of up to 5% of the previous six months purchases. We generally accept these returns in the second and fourth quarters of each annual period. We record estimated returns at the time of shipment. Our normal
payment term with our distributors is 30 days from invoice date. Certain of our distributor arrangements include the possibility of sales price rebates



42

##### Table of Contents

on specified products. At the time of shipment we recognize revenue, estimate the total sales price rebate and reserve for those pricing rebates. We have also deferred revenue of $61,000 and
$98,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, related to three of our distributors for which we are unable to reasonably estimate returns and recognize revenues from these distributors.

We make estimates of potential future returns and sales allowances related to current period product revenue. We analyze historical return rates and changes
in customer demand when evaluating the adequacy of returns and sales allowances. Although we believe we have a reasonable basis for our estimates, such estimates may differ from actual returns and sales allowances. These differences may materially
impact reported revenue and amounts ultimately collected on accounts receivable.

Inventory Valuation

We value our inventory at the lower of the actual cost of our inventory or its current estimated market value. We
write down inventory for obsolescence or unmarketable inventories based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Because of the cyclicality of the market in which we operate, inventory levels, obsolescence of technology and
product life cycles, we generally write down inventory for product that is over 12 months old. Additionally, we generally write down inventory in excess of nine months forecasted product demand to its net realizable value, which we determined
to be appropriate given our historical experience and industry practice. Before the fourth quarter of 2007, we wrote down to net realizable value inventory in excess of six months forecasted product demand. This change resulted in
approximately $0.2 million favorable impact on our gross profit for 2007. Actual demand and market conditions may be lower than those that we project and this difference could have a material adverse effect on our gross margins should inventory
write-downs beyond those initially recorded become necessary. Alternatively, should actual demand and market conditions be more favorable than those we estimated at the time of such a write-down, our gross margins could be favorably impacted in
future periods.

Stock-Based Compensation

On January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS
No. 123(R)), Share-Based Payment, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options and employee stock
purchases related to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan based on estimated fair values. SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of
the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our consolidated statements of operations. The portion of stock-based compensation expenses related to options granted prior
to April 4, 2005, (the date of our initial filing of a registration statement for our eventual initial public offering (IPO), which is the date we are considered a public company under SFAS No. 123(R)) which were previously
recorded under the provisions of APB 25, continued to be amortized over the respective vesting period and did not include an estimated forfeiture rate. The actual forfeitures of these options were recorded as they occur. These options granted
prior to April 4, 2005 were valued using the intrinsic value method and as of December 31, 2008, the deferred stock based compensation expense relating to these awards had been fully amortized. Option awards granted after April 4,
2005 and before January 1, 2006 were based on grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro forma provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS No. 123), Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation. The remaining unamortized fair value of these awards upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), as previously calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, was adjusted for an estimated forfeiture rate and
amortized over the corresponding remaining vesting period. Option awards granted subsequent to our adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006 are recorded as stock based compensation expense under the fair value method as prescribed by
SFAS No. 123(R). The grant date fair value of these options was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the use of highly subjective assumptions which determine the fair value of stock options, including the price volatility of the underlying stock and the stock options expected term. For
purposes of estimating volatility, we use a combination of historical and market-based implied volatility in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment (SAB No. 107). The
estimated expected term of our stock options represents



43



---

##### Table of Contents

the weighted-average period that the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. We derive the expected term assumption based on the weighted average vesting period of our stock options
combined with the average post-vesting holding period of an industry peer group. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of our stock options. The dividend yield is based on our
history and expectation of dividend payouts. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on common stock, and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. If any of the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model
change significantly, stock-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from amounts recorded in the current period.

Compensation expense for all share-based payment awards continues to be recognized using the straight-line single-option method. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement
of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008, excluding amounts related to options granted prior to April 4, 2005, is based on awards that ultimately are expected to vest and have been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS
No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. To the extent that we revise our estimated forfeiture rate in the future,
our stock-based compensation expense could be materially impacted in the quarter of revision, as well as in the following quarters.

See Note 6Stock Based Compensation to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Accounting for Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, we determine our deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of our
assets and liabilities using tax rates in effect for the year in which we expect the differences to affect taxable income. The tax consequences of most events recognized in the current years financial statements are included in determining
income taxes currently payable. However, because tax laws and financial accounting standards differ in their recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, expenses, gains and losses, differences arise between the amount of
taxable income and pretax financial income for a year and between the tax bases of assets or liabilities and their reported amounts in our financial statements. Because we assume that the reported amounts of assets and liabilities will be recovered
and settled, respectively, a difference between the tax basis of an asset or a liability and its reported amount in the balance sheet will result in a taxable or a deductible amount in some future years when the related liabilities are settled or
the reported amounts of the assets are recovered, which gives rise to a deferred tax asset or liability. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent we believe that
recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance.

In preparing the Companys consolidated financial
statements, the Company assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be realized from future taxable income. The Company establishes a valuation allowance if it determines that it is more likely than not that some portion of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in the valuation allowance, when recorded, would be included in its consolidated statements of operations as a provision for (benefit from) income taxes. The Company exercises significant judgment in
determining its provisions for income taxes, its deferred tax assets and liabilities and its future taxable income for purposes of assessing its ability to utilize any future tax benefit from its deferred tax assets. During the fourth quarter of
FY2008, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets, as management cannot conclude that it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized. The deferred tax asset valuation allowance was $9.1 million
and less than $0.1 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

During May 2005, we implemented an
international structure. We transitioned a certain portion of our logistics, order entry, purchasing and billing functions to our office in Macau, which is in closer geographic proximity to our suppliers and customers. Our corporate headquarters
remains in the United States. In connection with this transition, we have implemented cost-sharing and license arrangements with our wholly-owned British Virgin Islands subsidiary, with which our wholly-owned Macau subsidiary has



44

##### Table of Contents

implemented a similar licensing arrangement to develop and license intellectual property. Pursuant to these arrangements, our British Virgin Islands and Macau subsidiaries have the non-exclusive
rights to manufacture, market and distribute our products in certain geographic markets. Furthermore, our Macau subsidiary is authorized to contract with third parties for the manufacture, test and assembly of our products. As a result of these
changes, we expect the percentage of our consolidated pre-tax income represented by our foreign operations to continue to increase and exceed the domestic percentage.

Uncertain tax positions are accounted for under the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109, which provides a financial statement recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under FIN 48, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax
position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position
should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value
of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. We follow the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS
No. 142) under which goodwill is no longer subject to amortization. We evaluate goodwill for impairment, at a minimum, on an annual basis on September 30thand whenever events and changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting units carrying amount, including goodwill,
to the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using a combination of the income or discounted cash flows approach and the market approach, which utilize comparable companies data. If the carrying
amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. Because we have one reporting unit under SFAS No. 142, we assess goodwill for
impairment at the entity level. We performed a goodwill impairment analysis as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008 pursuant to the steps and requirements under SFAS No. 142 and determined that the goodwill was not impaired.

The carrying value of our goodwill may not be recoverable due to factors indicating a decrease in the value of the Company,
such as a decline in stock price and market capitalization, reduced estimates of future cash flows and slower growth rates in our industry. Estimates of future cash flows are based on an updated long-term financial outlook of our operations.
However, actual performance in the near-term or long-term could be materially different from these forecasts, which could impact future estimates. For example, a significant decline in our stock price and/or market capitalization may result in
goodwill impairment. We may be required to record a charge to earnings in our financial statements during a period in which an impairment of our goodwill is determined to exist, which may negatively impact our results of operations.

Long-lived assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144), we evaluate long-lived
assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators are present, we determine whether the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows
expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than the assets carrying value. If the sum is less, we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its respective
fair value. The fair value is estimated using discounted cash flows, appraisals, or other methods. The fair value of the asset then becomes the assets new carrying value, which we depreciate over the remaining estimated useful life of the
asset.



45

##### Table of Contents

During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, we evaluated our property and equipment and
intangible assets for impairment. As a result of the impairment test, we determined that our intangible assets were impaired due to a decrease in forecasted revenues associated with our acquired intangible assets. Accordingly, we recorded a $0.8
million impairment charge during the quarter ended December 31, 2008. The impairment charge was recognized in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 as a $0.6 million increase to cost of revenues and
a $0.2 million increase to sales, general, and administrative expense.

Investments

We account for our investment instruments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS
No. 115), Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. At December 31, 2008, we had investments in short-term debt instruments which were classified as available-for-sale under SFAS No. 115. In
accordance with SFAS No. 115, available-for-sale investments are carried at fair value with the related unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders equity. On
January 1, 2008, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). We apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157 in determining the fair value of our
investments. See Note 2Investments to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the Companys adoption of SFAS No. 157. Our short-term investments consist primarily of high grade debt
securities with a maturity of greater than 90 days when purchased. Excluding our investments in auction-rate securities (ARS), we classify investments with maturities greater than one year as short-term investments as we consider all
investments as a potential source of operating cash regardless of maturity date.

As of December 31, 2008, our
investments in ARS were classified as long-term. The ARS were reclassified from short-term investments to other long-term assets during 2008 because they have failed at auction since February 2008 and are not currently considered liquid.
Historically, we classified all of our ARS as available-for-sale and carried the investments at fair value with the related unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders
equity. However, during the quarter-ended December 31, 2008, one of our ARS was reclassified to trading securities as a result of us entering into a settlement agreement (the Agreement) with UBS AG (UBS). Under the
Agreement, we were granted ARS exchange rights (ARS Put Option) that provide us with the right, but not the obligation, to sell one of our ARS to UBS for par value during the period of June 30, 2010 to July 2, 2012. Due to our
intention to exercise the ARS Put Option and sell the ARS to UBS, we believe that classifying this ARS as trading securities is appropriate. Upon entering into the Agreement, we made an election pursuant to SFAS No. 115 to transfer these
auction rate securities from available-for-sale to trading securities. In accordance with SFAS No. 115, trading securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings. As a result of the reclassification to
trading securities, the unrealized loss balance of $0.5 million was reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in earnings as of December 31, 2008. The loss was included in interest and other expense on our
consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008.

We used a discounted cash flow model to
determine the estimated fair value of our ARS and the ARS Put Option as of December 31, 2008. The assumptions used in preparing the discounted cash flow model included estimates for interest rates, estimates for discount rates using yields of
comparable traded instruments adjusted for illiquidity and other risk factors, and estimates for the amount of cash flows and expected holding periods of the ARS and the ARS Put Option. These inputs reflect our own assumptions about the assumptions
market participants would use in pricing the ARS and the ARS Put Option, including assumptions about risk, developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Specifically, we estimated the future cash flows of our ARS over the
expected holding period using a weighted average interest rate of 1.5% as of December 31, 2008. A discount factor which represents the current market conditions for instruments with similar credit quality, adjusted by 300 basis points to
reflect the risk in the marketplace for the ARS, was then applied to the estimated cash flows of the ARS.

The cost of
securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest earned on securities is included in interest and investment income in the consolidated statements of operations.

As of December 31, 2008, we had $109.5 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments.

Our revenues consist of sales of our power management semiconductor products, net of
sales discounts, sales returns and distributor stock rotation allowances and incentives. All of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars.

Our net revenues for 2008 as compared to 2007 decreased $19.3 million, or 18 percent. The decrease was attributable to lower net revenues from sales of all of our product lines except for Battery
Management which increased 12% year-over-year. Total unit shipments in 2008 decreased by 17 percent compared to 2007, while average selling prices remained relatively unchanged.

Geographically, sales to China and Taiwan decreased in 2008 compared to 2007 due to lower
shipments to our major distributors as a result of lower demand and a reduction in channel inventory. Sales in Korea increased slightly in 2008 compared to 2007 due to higher sales to two major customers.

Our net revenues for 2007 as compared to 2006 increased $28 million, or 35 percent. This growth was primarily attributable to increased
sales of our Display, Lighting Solutions, Voltage Regulation and DC/DC Conversion and battery management product families, as a result of increased demand. Total unit shipments in 2007 increased 37 percent compared to 2006, while average selling
prices remained flat.

Geographically, sales to China, Korea, Taiwan and North America increased in 2007 compared to 2006 due
to our efforts to expand our customer base in China by offering products with more features popular in the Chinese markets. Net sales to Japan and Europe decreased.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is the difference between net revenues and cost
of revenues, and gross margin represents gross profit as a percentage of net revenues. Cost of revenues, also known as cost of goods sold, consists primarily of cost of processed silicon wafers, costs associated with assembly, test and shipping of
our production ICs, cost of personnel associated with manufacturing support and quality assurance and occupancy costs associated with our manufacturing support activities. Our support, quality and sustaining expenses related to manufacturing are
included in our cost of revenues.

Our gross margin percentage was 48.2 percent in 2008, compared to 53.5 percent in
2007, representing a decrease of 5.3 percent. This decrease was primarily due to:



| |  |  | Higher excess and obsolete inventory charges resulting from lower demand for our products which caused an approximate 3 percent decrease in gross
margin in 2008 and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | An unfavorable change in product mix in 2008 which caused an approximate 2 percent decrease in gross margin. This unfavorable change was due to us
selling more lower-margin products in 2008.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

During 2008, our gross inventory write-down was approximately
$4.3 million, offset by the sale of $1.7 million of previously written down inventory. During 2008, we physically scrapped $0.1 million of previously written-down inventory.

##### Table of Contents

Our gross margin percentage was 53.5 percent for 2007, representing a decrease compared to
57.4 percent for 2006. This decrease was primarily due to:



| |  |  | an unfavorable change in product mix in 2007 as we sold more lower-margin products. Total unit shipment in 2007 increased 37 percent compared to 2006,
while average selling prices remained flat, the increase in units shipped was mostly attributable to lower-margin products; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the effect of amortization of acquired intangible assets for a full year in 2007 compared to two months in 2006
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This decrease was partially offset by improved product yields.

During 2007, our gross inventory write-down was approximately $4.2 million, offset by the sale of $4.1 million of previously written
down inventory. During 2007, we physically scrapped $0.2 million of previously written-down inventory. In 2007 and 2006, the net effect of inventory write-down did not have a material impact on our gross profit.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of employee and contractor compensation, bonuses paid to employees for development of patentable designs under our patent award program and other
performance bonuses, expenses for new product development and testing, expenses for process development, occupancy costs of research and development personnel, depreciation on research and development related equipment, and prototype costs for new
products not yet released to production. We include expenses associated with new package development, engineering wafer lots and new test program developments in research and development expenses. We also include expenses associated with new product
concept and definition and the preparation and filing of patents and other intellectual property in research and development expenses. We anticipate that we will continue to invest significant amounts in research and development activities to pursue
and develop new products, processes, devices, packages and intellectual property.

Research and development expenses for fiscal 2008 decreased as compared to 2007
primarily due to:



| |  |  | a $1.2 million decrease in non-recurring engineering and other engineering-related expenses, partially offset by the following increases:
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a $0.3 million increase due to the write-off of in-process research and development costs due to our acquisition of Elite Micro Devices during 2008 and
$0.3 million of restructuring expenses.

Research and development expenses for fiscal 2007 increased as compared to 2006
primarily due to:



| |  |  | a $3.2 million increase in payroll, bonus, stock-based compensation expenses and benefit related expenses as a result of higher headcount, including a
full year of expenses associated with our Shanghai-based design center in 2007, compared to only two months in 2006, as a majority of our personnel there are engaged in research and development activities;

Sales, general and administrative expenses for 2007 increased as compared to 2006
primarily due to:



| |  |  | a $4.6 million increase in payroll, bonus, stock-based compensation expenses and benefit related expenses, which resulted from higher headcount to
support our rapid growth in revenues in 2007;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | this increase was partially offset by an approximately $1.1 million decrease in professional services.

##### Table of Contents

Patent litigation expenses for 2008 decreased as compared to 2007 due to a lower level of
activity related to the Linear Technology Corporation patent infringement case. We believe that we will continue to incur significant patent litigation expenses in 2009 and future years. For a description of our litigation, please see
Item 3Legal Proceedings in Part I of this report for further details.

Patent litigation expenses for 2007 decreased as compared to 2006. Our legal
proceedings related to the Linear Technology Corporation patent infringement ramped up during the third quarter of 2006 and we incurred significant expenses during that quarter. Litigation expenses were significantly lower in 2007 due to lower level
of activity related to this patent infringement case.

Interest and Other Income, Net

Interest and investment income was $3.1 million, $5.6 million and $5.8 million for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Interest and investment
income decreased in 2008 compared to 2007 due to lower average interest rates. Interest and investment income decreased slightly in 2007 compared to 2006 due to lower average interest rates as well as lower average cash balances in 2007.

Interest and other expense in 2008 was $0.4 million, consisting primarily of a $0.5 million other-than-temporary impairment loss related
to our long-term investment in a privately-held company that was accounted for using the cost method. Interest and other expense in 2007 was approximately $0.5 million, primarily consisting of a $0.3 million write-off of cumulative translation
adjustment loss as a result of the liquidation of our Sweden branch office during the first quarter of 2007 and a $0.2 million other-than-temporary impairment loss related to our long-term investment in a privately-held company.

Provision For (Benefit From) Income Taxes

Our income tax provision (benefit) was $8.5 million, $1.3 million, and ($0.2) million for fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our tax provision for 2008 was substantially higher compared to 2007
primarily due to the recording of a valuation allowance against our U.S. net deferred tax assets of $9.1 million offset by a decrease to the Companys consolidated pre-tax income and the related tax effects in various jurisdictions. Our 2007
provision was higher compared to 2006 primarily due to the effect of significant non-deductible stock-based compensation expenses.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007)
(SFAS No. 141(R)), Business Combinations, which replaces SFAS No 141. The statement retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but requires a number of changes, including changes in the way assets and
liabilities are recognized in purchase accounting. It also changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value, and requires
the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for us beginning January 1, 2009 and will be applied prospectively to business combinations completed on or after that date. The impact of the adoption of
SFAS No. 141(R) will depend on the nature and extent of any business combinations occurring on or after January 1, 2009.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162 (SFAS No. 162), The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for
selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). While this statement
formalizes the sources and hierarchy of GAAP within the authoritative accounting literature, it does not change the accounting principles that are already in place.

This statement will be effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to U.S. Auditing Standards Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS No. 162 is not expected to have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Our cash and cash equivalents were $52.1 million as of December 31, 2008 and
$53.8 million as of December 31, 2007.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Our positive cash flows from operating activities in 2008 of $3.5 million were attributable to a $7.8 million decrease in accounts receivable
due to a decrease in sales and the timing of shipments, a $7.2 million decrease in deferred tax assets primarily due to an increase in our valuation allowance, a $3.2 million decrease in inventory due to lower inventory purchases and increased
inventory reserves as a result of a lower sales forecast, and a $1.0 million increase in income tax payable. These cash inflows were partially offset by net loss of $20.1 million, adjusted for non-cash items including $7.8 million of stock-based
compensation expense, $3.0 million of depreciation and amortization, a $0.8 million intangible asset impairment charge and a $0.5 million impairment loss on an investment in a privately-held company. Cash outflows also included a $4.6 million
decrease in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities primarily due to a decrease in payroll, bonus and employee benefit related expenses and a $3.3 million decrease in accounts payable due to lower inventory purchases as a result of lower
sales.

Net cash generated by our operating activities was $8.6 million in 2007. Net income of $1.5 million was adjusted for
by the stock-based compensation expenses of $7.3 million, depreciation and amortization expenses of $2.7 million and the net changes in operating assets and liabilities. Our stock-based compensation expense has increased as a result of the increased
number of options granted to employees and higher fair value of these options. Depreciation and amortization expenses have also risen due to a full year of depreciation expense and amortization of intangible assets acquired from AP Semi. The
increase in accounts receivable was due to increased sales during the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to the fourth quarter of 2006. The increase in inventories was primarily due to increased purchases of materials and production to meet expected
demand.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in our investing activities was $1.4 million in 2008, primarily consisting of $2.4 million used to purchase property and
equipment and $0.6 million used for our June 2008 acquisition of Elite Micro Devices. These cash outflows were partially offset by a $2.0 million collection of a note receivable.

Net cash used in our investing activities were $14.3 million in 2007, primarily consisting of a net cash outflow of $10.8 million to
purchase short-term investments, $3.3 million used to purchase engineering equipment, invest in leasehold improvements and upgrade our enterprise software and $2.0 million used to purchase a six-month note issued by a supplier. These uses of cash
were offset by approximately $1.1 million of cash received as a result of a final distribution of funds from an escrow account originally established in connection with our acquisition of AP Semi (see Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements
included in Part II, Item 8 of this Report for further detail).

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash used in our financing activities in 2008 was $3.6 million, primarily consisting of $5.3 million spent on common stock repurchases,
partially offset by $1.3 million of net proceeds from exercises of common stock options.

Net cash provided by our financing
activities in 2007 was $1.5 million, primarily consisting of $1.6 million in net proceeds from exercises of common stock options, offset by $0.1 million used to pay our capital lease obligations.

Liquidity

We believe our
existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balances will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months. Our liquidity is not impacted by our $2.6 million investments in ARS which were not liquid as
of December 31, 2008. See Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk for more information regarding our ARS.

Our long-term future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our level of revenues, the timing and extent of spending to support our product development efforts, the expansion of sales
and marketing activities, the timing of our introductions of new products, the costs to ensure access to adequate manufacturing capacity, our level of acquisition activity or other strategic transactions, the continuing market acceptance of our
products and the amount and intensity of our litigation activity. We could be required, or could elect, to seek additional funding through public or private equity or debt financing and additional funds may not be available on terms acceptable to us
or at all.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities whereby we have financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments or other contingent arrangements that
expose us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities, or any other obligation under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to the Company.

In January 2007, we entered into a sublease for our current principal executive offices,
effective from September 2007 through March 2016, occupying 42,174 square feet in Santa Clara, California. This facility accommodates our principal engineering, technology, administrative and finance activities.

In September 2007, we entered into an office lease in Shanghai, China to accommodate our design team and sales personnel. The lease is
effective from October 2007 through December 2010.

The table above excludes $3.3 million of liabilities under FASB
Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), as we are unable to reasonably estimate the ultimate amount or timing of settlement.

Common Stock Repurchases

On October 29, 2008, the Companys board of directors authorized a program
to repurchase shares of the Companys outstanding common stock. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company was authorized to use up to $30 million to repurchase its outstanding common stock. The Company may repurchase shares in the open
market or through privately negotiated transactions. During 2008, the Company repurchased a total of 2.1 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $5.3 million.



|ITEM 7A. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|-------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Interest Rate Risk

Our investment portfolio consists mainly of cash
equivalents and short-term investments that are classified as available-for-sale securities. These investments are subject to market risk, primarily interest rate and credit risk. Our investments are managed by outside professional managers within
investment guidelines set by us. Such guidelines include security type, credit quality and maturity and are intended to limit market risk by restricting the investments to high quality debt instruments with relatively short-term maturities.

As of December 31, 2008, our investment portfolio consisted of the following available-for-sale securities:

Most of our available-for-sale investments were in fixed rate, interest-earning
instruments, which carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their market value adversely impacted due to rising interest rates. However, in a declining interest rate environment such as the one we are currently
experiencing, as short term investments mature, reinvestment occurs at less favorable market rates.

##### Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2008, our investment portfolio also included $2.6 million of
interest bearing auction rate securities (ARS), of which $0.7 million was classified as trading securities and was excluded from the above table. In addition, we were granted ARS exchange rights (ARS Put Option) that provide us with
the right, but not the obligation, to sell one of our ARS to UBS for par value during the period of June 30, 2010 to July 2, 2012. We recorded the ARS Put Option of $0.4 million and have elected to account for such financial instrument at
fair value pursuant to SFAS No. 159.

We used a discounted cash flow model to determine the estimated fair value of our
ARS and the ARS Put Option as of December 31, 2008. The assumptions used in preparing the discounted cash flow model included estimates for interest rates, estimates for discount rates using yields of comparable traded instruments adjusted for
illiquidity and other risk factors, and estimates for the amount of cash flows and expected holding periods of the ARS and the ARS Put Option. These inputs reflect our own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing
the ARS and the ARS Put Option, including assumptions about risk, developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The following table presents the estimated change in the value of our investment portfolio, if interest rates were to change by the amounts indicated (in thousands):

We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Our sales outside the United States are transacted in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, our sales are not generally impacted by foreign currency rate changes. With exception to our operations in Hong Kong and
Macau, the primary functional currency of our offshore operations was the local currency, primarily the New Taiwan Dollar and the Chinese Yuan. To date, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have not had a material impact on our results of
operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Advanced Analogic Technologies, Inc.

Santa Clara, California

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Advanced Analogic Technologies Incorporated and subsidiaries (the
Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As described in Note 1 to the consolidated
financial statements, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,effective January 1, 2007.

As discussed in Note 15, the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007
and 2006 have been restated.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on the criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 26, 2009 (October 5, 2009 as to the effects of the material weakness described in the third paragraph of Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting (as revised)), expresses an adverse opinion on the Companys internal control over financial reporting because of a material weakness.

1. BUSINESS AND
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

OrganizationAdvanced Analogic Technologies Incorporated and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries (the Company) was incorporated on August 21, 1997 (inception) in California, reincorporated on April 11, 2005 in Delaware and is a supplier of power management semiconductors for consumer electronic devices such as
wireless handsets, notebook computers, smartphones, digital cameras and digital audio players. The Company focuses its design and marketing efforts on the application-specific power management needs of consumer communications and computing
applications in these rapidly-evolving devices. Through the Companys Total Power Management approach, the Company offers a broad range of products that support multiple applications, features and services across a diverse set of
consumer electronic devices.

Principles of ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

EstimatesThe preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of net revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit RiskFinancial
instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments and receivables. As specified in the Companys investment policy, the Company invests
only in high-quality credit instruments with maturities of one year or less and limits the amount invested with any one issuer. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers financial condition and limits the amount of
credit extended when deemed necessary. The Companys top three customers accounted for a total of 68 percent and 65 percent of net accounts receivable at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash equivalents are highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of 90 days or less
at the time of purchase. Investments with maturities of over 90 days at the time of purchase are generally classified as short-term investments.

InvestmentsThe Company accounts for its investment instruments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities (SFAS No. 115).

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 157 to measure the fair value of its investments. See Note
2Investments for additional details regarding the Companys adoption of SFAS No. 157.

Short-term investments consist primarily of high grade debt securities with a maturity
of greater than 90 days when purchased. The Company generally classifies investments with maturities greater than one year as short-term investments as it considers all investments a potential source of operating cash, regardless of maturity date.
All of the Companys short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale as of December 31, 2008.

In
accordance with SFAS No. 115, available-for-sale investments are carried at fair value with the related unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of stockholders equity.

As of December 31, 2008, the Companys investments in auction-rate securities (ARS) were classified as other
long-term assets on its consolidated balance sheet. The Company classified one of its ARS as trading securities, while the remaining ARS were classified as available-for-sale. In accordance with SFAS No. 115, trading securities are carried at
fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings. See Note 2Investments for additional information regarding the Companys ARS investments.

The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest earned on securities is included in interest and
investment income in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Companys investment portfolio also consisted
of the following investments as of December 31, 2008:

Investment in a privately-held company

The Companys investment in a privately-held company is carried at cost and evaluated for other than temporary impairment at each
reporting period. The Companys ownership interest is less than 20 percent and is accounted for using the cost method. This investment is included in other long-term assets on the Companys consolidated balance sheet. See Note
2Investmentsfor additional information regarding this investment.

Auction-rate securities put option
(ARS Put Option)

On November 12, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement, that provides the Company
with the right, but not the obligation, to sell one of its ARS to UBS AG (UBS) for par value during the period of June 30, 2010 to July 2, 2012. The ARS Put Option will provide the Company with the opportunity to recover the
estimated unrealized loss on one of its ARS investments. The Company recorded the fair value of the ARS Put Option upon receipt and included it in other long-term assets on its December 31, 2008 consolidated balance sheet. In accordance with
SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial LiabilitiesIncluding an Amendment of SFAS No. 115 (SFAS No. 159), which was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2008, the
Company elected fair value accounting for the ARS Put Option. Unrealized gains and losses related to the ARS Put Option will be recognized in earnings. See Note 2Investments for additional information regarding the ARS Put Option.

InventoryInventory is stated at the lower of the actual cost (first-in, first-out method) of the inventory or
its current market value. Inventory consists of work in process (principally processed wafers and products at third party assembly and test subcontractors) and finished goods. The Company generally writes down inventory for product that is over 12
months old, due to the cyclicality of the market in which the Company operates, inventory levels, obsolescence of technology and product life cycles. Starting from the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company writes down inventory in excess of nine
months forecasted product demand to its net realizable value. Previously, the Company generally wrote down to net realizable value inventory in excess of six months forecasted product demand. This change resulted in approximately $0.2 million
favorable impact on the Companys gross profit for 2007. During 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded inventory write-downs of $4.3 million, $4.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively, due to excess and obsolete inventory.

Property and EquipmentProperty and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation
and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives for office and test equipment

of three to five years, computers and software of two to three years, and leasehold improvements over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvement. Depreciation
expense was $1.8 million, $1.6 million and $1.6 million for years 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Goodwill and
Intangible AssetsGoodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. The Company follows the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142), under which goodwill is no longer subject to amortization. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment, at a minimum, on
an annual basis on September 30 and whenever events and changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting units carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair values of the
reporting units are estimated using a combination of the income or discounted cash flows approach and the market approach, which utilize comparable companies data. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill
is considered impaired and a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. Because the Company has one reporting unit under SFAS No. 142, it assesses goodwill for impairment at the entity level. The Company
performed a goodwill impairment analysis as of September 30, 2008 pursuant to the steps and requirements under SFAS No. 142 and determined that goodwill was not impaired.

As of December 31, 2008, the Company determined that goodwill impairment indicators existed, including a decrease in net revenues and a
sustained decline in the Companys market capitalization. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2008. The Company engaged an independent valuation firm to assist
with the testing of the carrying value of goodwill. The analysis included estimates of the Companys fair value using multiple valuation techniques. As a result of the analysis, the Company determined that goodwill was not impaired as of
December 31, 2008.

Long-Lived Assets (Excluding Goodwill)In accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Statements No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144), the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators are present, the Company determines whether the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual
disposition are less than the assets carrying value. If the sum is less, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its respective fair value. The fair value is estimated using
discounted cash flows, appraisals, or other methods. The fair value of the asset then becomes the assets new carrying value, which the Company depreciates over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, the Company evaluated its property and equipment and intangible assets for impairment. As a
result of the impairment test, the Company determined that its intangible assets were impaired due to a decrease in forecasted revenues associated with its acquired intangible assets (see Note 4Acquisitions for further details regarding
Core Technology and Customer Relationships acquired as part of the Companys acquisition of Analog Power Semiconductor Corporation). The Company estimated the fair value of these assets using a discounted cash flow model in which it estimated
future cash flows on a part by part basis for Core Technology and a customer by customer basis for Customer Relationships. Based on the discounted cash flows calculation, the Company determined the carrying amount of these acquired intangible assets
exceeded their fair value by $0.8 million. Accordingly, the Company recorded a $0.8 million impairment charge during the quarter ended December 31, 2008. The impairment charge was recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the
year ended December 31, 2008 as a $0.6 million increase to cost of revenues and a $0.2 million increase to sales, general, and administrative expense.

The Company amortizes intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Amortization expense of purchased
intangible assets was $1.2 million, $1.2 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Future amortization for these intangible assets is expected to be $0.3 million in 2009 and less than $0.1
million in both 2010 and 2011.

Revenue RecognitionThe Company recognizes revenues in accordance with Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (SAB No. 104), Revenue Recognition. SAB No. 104 requires that four basic criteria be met before revenues can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
(2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Criteria (1) and (2) are met upon receiving of purchase orders or signing of
contracts and upon transfer of title which generally occurs at the time of shipment. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) is based on managements judgment regarding the determinability of the fees charged for products delivered and
the collectibility of those fees. If changes in conditions cause management to determine these criteria are not met for certain future transactions, revenues recognized for any reporting period could decline.

A large portion of the Companys sales is made through distribution arrangements with third parties. These arrangements include stock
rotation rights that generally permit the return of up to 5% of the previous six months net purchases. The Company generally accepts these returns in the second and fourth quarters of each annual period. The Company records estimated returns
at the time of shipment. The Companys normal payment terms with its distributors are 30 days from invoice date. Certain of the Companys distributor arrangements include the possibility of sales price rebates on specified products. At the
time of shipment, the Company recognizes revenue, estimates the total sales price rebate and reserves for those pricing rebates. The Company has also deferred revenue of $61,000 and $98,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, related
to three of its distributors for which the Company is unable to reasonably estimate returns, and recognizes revenues from these distributors upon their subsequent resale to their customers.

The Company makes estimates of potential future returns and sales allowances related to current period product revenue. The Company analyzes
historical return rates and changes in customer demand when evaluating the adequacy of returns and sales allowances. Although the Company believes it has a reasonable basis for its estimates, such estimates may differ from actual returns and sales
allowances. These differences may materially impact reported revenue and amounts ultimately collected on accounts receivable.

Bad Debt AllowancesThe Company monitors the collectibility of accounts receivable primarily through review of the accounts receivable aging. When facts and circumstances indicate the collection of specific amounts or from
specific customers is at risk, the Company assesses the impact on amounts recorded for bad debts and, if necessary, will record a charge in the period such determination is made. In addition, the Company reserves a percentage of its accounts
receivable to various customers that are significantly aged based on its historical collection experience. The Company wrote-off accounts receivable of $0 in 2008 and 2007 and $306,000 in 2006.

Warranty CostsThe Company provides a 12-month warranty against defects in
materials and workmanship and will either repair the goods, provide replacement products at no charge to the customer or refund amounts to the customer for defective products. The Company records estimated warranty costs, based on historical
experience over the preceding 12 months by product, at the time it recognizes product revenues. A summary of the Companys warranty liability, which is included in accrued liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet, is as follows:

Restructuring CostsDuring the year ended December 31, 2008, a
restructuring plan was approved for the purpose of reducing future operating expenses by eliminating approximately 12 percent of the Companys global workforce. In addition to the reduction in force, the Company closed its offices in Stockholm,
Sweden and Paris, France. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $0.5 million during
the year ended December 31, 2008 which consisted of $0.5 million of severance costs related to the reduction in force and less than $0.1 million for office closure and related costs. Of the total $0.5 million restructuring charge, $0.2 million
was paid during the quarter ended December 31, 2008. The balance of the Companys restructuring liability, which was included in accrued liabilities on its condensed consolidated balance sheet, was $0.3 million as of December 31, 2008
and is expected to be paid during the quarter ending March 31, 2009.

Advertising CostsAdvertising costs
such as trade shows, promotions, public relations, and publications are expensed as incurred and are included in sales, general and administrative expenses. Advertising costs were $0.7 million, $0.8 million and $0.7 million for 2008, 2007 and 2006,
respectively.

Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenses are included in operating expenses as
incurred.

Income TaxesIncome taxes are accounted for under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting
for Income Taxes. Under this method, the deferred tax assets and liabilities are estimated based upon the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using tax rates in effect for the year in which the
Company expects the differences to affect taxable income. The tax consequences of most events recognized in the current years financial statements are included in determining income taxes currently payable. However, because tax laws and
financial accounting standards differ in their recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, expenses, gains and losses, differences arise between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income for a year and
between the tax bases of assets or liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Because the Company assumes that the reported amounts of assets and liabilities will be recovered and settled, respectively, a difference between
the tax basis of an asset or a liability and its reported amount in the consolidated balance sheet will result in a taxable or a deductible amount in some future years when the related liabilities are settled or the reported amounts of the assets
are recovered, which gives rise to a deferred tax asset or liability.

In preparing its consolidated financial statements, the
Company assesses the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be realized from future taxable income. The Company establishes a valuation allowance if it determines it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not
be realized. Changes in the valuation allowance, when recorded, would be included in the Companys consolidated statements of operations as a provision for (benefit from) income taxes. The Company exercises significant judgment in determining
its provisions for income taxes, its deferred tax assets and liabilities and its future taxable income for purposes of assessing its ability to utilize any future tax benefit from its deferred tax assets.

The Company estimates the provision for income taxes based on income before income taxes
for each tax jurisdiction in which the Company has established operations. The Company does not provide incremental U.S. income taxes on un-remitted foreign earnings taxed at rates less than the U.S. tax rates as such earnings are considered
permanently invested.

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, which provides a financial statement recognition threshold and
measurement attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under FIN 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained
on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50%
likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and
penalties associated with tax positions, and income tax disclosures.

Stock-Based CompensationOn January 1,
2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors. SFAS No. 123(R) requires
companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service
periods in the Companys consolidated statement of operations. The portion of stock-based compensation expense related to options granted prior to April 4, 2005, (the date of the Companys initial filing of a registration statement
for its eventual initial public offering (IPO), which is the date the Company is considered a public company under SFAS No. 123(R)) which were previously recorded under the provisions of APB No. 25, were amortized over the
respective vesting period and did not include an estimated forfeiture rate. The actual forfeitures of these options were recorded as they occurred. These options granted prior to April 4, 2005 were valued using the intrinsic value method and as
of December 31, 2008, the Company has fully amortized the deferred stock based compensation related to these options. Option awards granted after April 4, 2005 and before January 1, 2006 were based on grant date fair value estimated
in accordance with the pro forma provisions of SFAS No. 123 (SFAS No. 123), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The remaining unamortized fair value of these awards upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), as
previously calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, was adjusted for an estimated forfeiture rate and amortized over the corresponding remaining vesting period. Option awards granted subsequent to the Companys adoption of SFAS
No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006 are recorded as stock-based compensation expense under the fair value method as prescribed by SFAS No. 123(R). The grant date fair value of these options was also calculated by using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the use of highly subjective assumptions which
determine the fair value of stock options, including the price volatility of the underlying stock and the stock options expected term. For purposes of estimating volatility, the Company uses a combination of historical and market-based implied
volatility in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment (SAB No. 107). The estimated expected term of the Companys stock options represents the weighted-average period
that the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. The Company derives the expected term assumption based on the weighted average vesting period of its stock options combined with the average post-vesting holding period of an industry peer
group. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the Companys stock options. The dividend yield is based on the Companys history and expectation of dividend payouts.
The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on common stock, and it does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Compensation expense for all share-based payment awards is recognized using the straight-line
single-option method. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of operations for the year

ended December 31, 2008, excluding amounts related to options granted prior to April 4, 2005, are based on awards that ultimately are expected to vest and have been reduced for
estimated forfeitures. SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. To the extent that the Company revises its
estimated forfeiture rate in the future, stock-based compensation expense could be materially impacted in the quarter of revision, as well as in the following quarters.

For further information regarding the Companys valuation of share-based payment awards and stock-based compensation expense, see Note 6Stock-based compensation.

Foreign CurrencyThe functional currencies of the Companys foreign subsidiaries are their local currency, with the
exception of the Companys Macau, Cayman and Hong Kong entities, which are U.S. dollars. Accordingly, gains and losses from translation of the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries with a local functional currency are reported as a
separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) were $81,000, $(296,000) and $(37,000) for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Foreign currency transaction losses in 2007 included a write-off of
$266,000 cumulative translation adjustment loss as a result of the liquidation of the Companys Sweden branch office in the first quarter of 2007.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)In accordance with SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, the Company reports, by major components and as a single total, the change in its
stockholders equity during the period from non-owner sources. The unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments and foreign currency translation adjustments are comprehensive income items applicable to the Company. Statements
of comprehensive income (loss) have been included within the consolidated statements of stockholders equity.

Net
Income (Loss) Per ShareThe Company calculates net income (loss) per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share (SFAS No. 128). Under SFAS No. 128,
basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period excluding shares subject to repurchase. Diluted net income per common share
reflects the effect of potentially dilutive securities, which consist of common stock options and warrants, common stock subject to repurchase and preferred stock warrants, under the treasury stock method. The effect of potentially dilutive
securities is excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share when their effect is anti-dilutive. A reconciliation of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is as follows:

Outstanding stock options of approximately 8.1 million and 2.9 million
shares were excluded from the computation of dilutive potential common stock for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, as they are considered anti-dilutive. For 2006, outstanding common stock options of 2.9 million
shares, weighted average shares subject to repurchase of 0.3 million shares and common stock warrants of less than 0.1 million shares were excluded from the computation of dilutive potential common stock, as they were considered
anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting StandardsIn December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 141 (revised 2007) (SFAS No. 141(R)), Business Combinations, which replaces SFAS No 141. The statement retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but requires a number of changes, including
changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized in purchase accounting. It also changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization of in-process research and
development at fair value, and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009 and will be applied prospectively to business combinations completed on
or after that date. The impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will depend on the nature and extent of any business combinations occurring on or after January 1, 2009.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162 (SFAS No. 162), The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with
GAAP. While this statement formalizes the sources and hierarchy of GAAP within the authoritative accounting literature, it does not change the accounting principles that are already in place. This statement will be effective 60 days following the
SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to U.S. Auditing Standards Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS No. 162 is
not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

Fair value measurementsOn January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS
No. 159 which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 159, the Company chose not to elect the fair value option for its financial assets and
liabilities existing as of January 1, 2008. Further, the Company did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets and liabilities recorded during the year ended December 31, 2008 other than the ARS Put Option received upon the
Company entering into an ARS settlement agreement with UBS.

On January 1, 2008, the Company also adopted SFAS
No. 157 to measure the fair value of certain of its financial assets required to be measured on a recurring basis.

SFAS
No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Under SFAS No. 157, based on the observability
of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide information according to a fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values.
Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level
2: Directly or indirectly observable market based inputs used in models or other valuation methodologies.

Level
3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. The inputs require significant management judgment or estimation.

Auction-rate securities

As of December 31, 2008, the Companys investment portfolio included $2.6 million of interest bearing auction rate securities
(ARS). The ARS represent investments in debt obligations collateralized by Federal Family Education Program student loans. At the time of acquisition, these ARS investments were intended to provide liquidity via an auction process that resets the
applicable interest rate at predetermined calendar intervals, allowing investors to either roll over their holdings or gain immediate liquidity by selling such interests at par. The monthly auctions historically provided a liquid market for these
securities. However, beginning in fiscal year 2008, uncertainties in the credit markets affected all of the Companys holdings in ARS investments and auctions for the Companys ARS have failed to settle on their respective settlement
dates. Auctions for the Companys ARS failed from February 2008 through December 31, 2008. Consequently, the investments are not currently liquid and the Company will not be able to access these funds until a future auction of these
investments is successful or a buyer is found outside of the auction process.

As a result of the ARS liquidity issues, the
ARS were reclassified from short-term investments to other long-term assets during the first quarter of 2008. Historically, the Company classified all of its ARS as available-for-sale and carried the investments at fair value with the related
unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders equity. While the Company continues to classify some of its ARS as available-for-sale, during the quarter-ended
December 31, 2008, one of the Companys ARS was reclassified to trading securities as a result of the Company entering into a settlement agreement with UBS (the Agreement). Under the Agreement, the Company was granted ARS
exchange rights (ARS Put Option) that provide the Company with the right, but not the obligation, to sell one of its ARS to UBS for par value during the period of June 30, 2010 to July 2, 2012. Upon entering into the Agreement,
the Company made an election pursuant to SFAS No. 115 to transfer these auction rate securities from available-for-sale to trading securities.

The Company used a discounted cash flow model to determine the estimated fair value of its ARS and the ARS Put Option as of December 31, 2008. The assumptions used in preparing the discounted cash
flow model included estimates for interest rates, estimates for discount rates using yields of comparable traded instruments adjusted for illiquidity and other risk factors, and estimates for the amount of cash flows and expected holding periods of
the ARS and the ARS Put Option. These inputs reflect the Companys own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the ARS and the ARS Put Option, including assumptions about risk, developed based on the best
information available in the circumstances. Specifically, the Company estimated the future cash flows of its ARS over the expected holding period using a weighted average interest rate of 1.5% as of December 31, 2008. A discount factor which
represents the current market conditions for instruments with similar credit quality, adjusted by 300 basis points to reflect the risk in the marketplace for the ARS, was then applied to the estimated cash flows of the ARS.

Based on this assessment of fair value, during 2008, the Company determined there was a $647,000 decrease in the fair value of its ARS
investments. Of the $647,000 pre-tax unrealized loss, $167,000 relates to ARS classified as available-for-sale and is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders equity. The Company deemed the
impairment loss of $167,000 to be temporary as the Company has the ability and intent to hold these ARS investments until a recovery of value or until maturity (ranging from 2025 to 2046). The remaining $480,000 unrealized loss relates to the ARS
covered by the Agreement which was reclassified to trading securities during the fourth quarter of 2008. As a result of the reclassification, the $480,000 unrealized loss was recognized in earnings during the fourth quarter of 2008 and was included
in interest and other expense on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008.

ARS Put Option

The Company accounts for the ARS Put Option at fair value. On November 12, 2008,
the date on which the Company entered into the Agreement, the Company elected to measure the ARS put option at fair value under SFAS No. 159. By electing SFAS No. 159, subsequent changes in the fair value of the ARS Put Option will be
offset with changes in the fair value of the related ARS in the Companys consolidated statements of operations. The Company determined the fair value of the ARS Put Option by using a discounted cash flow model. To determine the fair value of
the ARS Put Option, the total cash flows expected to result from

exercising the ARS Put Option were discounted based on the Companys estimates of the likelihood of default by UBS and the expected term of the ARS Put Option. The Company determined the
fair value of the ARS Put Option was $412,000 as of December 31, 2008. Accordingly, the Company recorded a gain of $412,000 within interest and other expense on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008,
and recorded a corresponding asset within other long-term assets on the Companys consolidated balance sheet.

Investment in a privately-held company

As of December 31, 2008, the Companys investment
portfolio included a $644,000 investment in Alta Analog, Inc. (Alta), a private company which develops analog memory products. The Companys investment in Alta consists of shares of Series B Preferred Stock of Alta and interest-bearing bridge
loans which may be converted into shares of Alta or repaid to the Company. The Companys total investment in Alta, including shares that would be received upon an assumed conversion of the bridge loans into shares of Alta stock, represented an
approximate 13% ownership interest in Alta as of December 31, 2008. This investment is included in other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company accounts for this investment under the cost method. To determine if impairment exists, the Company monitors Altas revenue and earnings trends relative to pre-defined milestones and
overall business prospects; the general market conditions in Altas industry or geographic area, including adverse regulatory or economic changes; factors related to Altas ability to remain in business, such as Altas liquidity and
the rate at which Alta is using its cash; and Altas receipt of additional funding. The Company reviews the Alta investment for impairment indicators on a quarterly basis.

During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company identified certain events or changes in circumstances that had a significant adverse effect
on the fair value of this investment and determined the impairment of this investment was other than temporary. As a result, the Company recorded a $200,000 impairment loss on this investment. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company
identified impairment indicators that resulted in an additional $508,000 other-than-temporary impairment loss being recorded during the fourth quarter of 2008. The impairment losses were included in interest and other expense on the consolidated
statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Promissory note

In December 2007, the Company invested in a short-term promissory note from one of its vendors. The face value of this note was $2 million
with zero stated interest rate. However, the Company received a total service discount of approximately $50,000 from this vendor in lieu of cash interest payments. The Company recorded interest income and service cost over the note term of six
months to reflect the service discount received. The Company received the $2 million payment during the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

4. ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of AP SemiOn October 31, 2006, the Company acquired Analog Power Semiconductor Corporation (AP Semi), a wholly-owned subsidiary of IPCore Technologies Corporation
(IPCore). AP Semi is a developer of analog power management integrated circuit products, whose technology management believes complements the Companys ongoing product design and development activities targeted at portable consumer
electronic devices. The Company acquired AP Semi for a total consideration of $22.8 million where $20.8 million of the purchase consideration was settled in cash and $1.3 million was incurred by the Company in transaction fees, including legal,
valuation and accounting fees. The remaining amount of $700,000 was held in escrow and payable to the employees contingent upon the employees fulfilling a one year service period from the date of the transfer. As of December 31, 2007, this
amount was settled and amounts paid to AP Semi employees were accounted for as compensation expenses. The purchase consideration of approximately $22.1 million was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities
assumed on the basis of their estimated fair values on the acquisition date.

The AP Semi acquisition was accounted for under
SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142. The results of operations of AP Semi were included in the Companys consolidated statement of operations from November 1, 2006.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the tangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the date of
acquisition:

The intangible assets recognized, apart from goodwill, represented contractual or
other legal rights of AP Semi and those intangible assets of AP Semi that could be clearly identified. These intangible assets were identified and valued through interviews and analysis of data provided by AP Semi concerning development projects,
their stage of development, the time and resources needed to complete them and, if applicable, their expected income generating ability. There were no other contractual or other legal rights of AP Semi clearly identifiable by management, other than
those identified below. The allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was as follows:

Identifiable intangible assets

Core developed technologyCore developed technology of approximately $2.9 million relates to AP Semis analog power
management IC technology. At the date of acquisition, the developed technology was complete and had reached technological feasibility. Any costs to be incurred in the future will relate to the ongoing maintenance of the developed technology and will
be expensed as incurred. To estimate the fair value of the developed technology, an income approach was used with a discount rate of 25%, which included an analysis of future cash flows and the risks associated with achieving such cash flows. The
discount rate was determined after consideration of the Companys weighted average cost of capital and the weighted average return on assets. The developed technology is being amortized over its estimated useful life of three years.

Customer and distributor relationshipsCustomer and distributor relationships of approximately $580,000 represented the fair
value of existing customer and distributor relationships. To estimate the fair value of the customer and distributor relationships, an income approach was used with a discount rate of 26%. The discount rate was determined after consideration of the
Companys weighted average cost of capital and the weighted average return on assets. Customer and distributor relationships are amortized over their estimated useful lives of three years.

In-process research and developmentDevelopment projects that had reached technological feasibility were classified as developed
technology, and the value assigned to developed technology was capitalized. In-process research and development of approximately $290,000 reflected research projects that had not reached technological feasibility or had no alternative future use at
the time of the acquisition and was immediately expensed. In order to achieve technological feasibility, the Company estimated the hours required to complete the projects to cost approximately $578,000. The Company estimated the fair value assigned
to in-process research and development using the income approach, which discounts to present value the cash flows attributable to the technology once it had reached technological feasibility using a discount rate of 27%. The discount rate was
determined after consideration of the Companys weighted average cost of capital and the weighted average return on assets. The stages of completion were determined by estimating the costs and time incurred to date relative to the costs and
time expected to be incurred to develop the in-process technology into a commercially viable technology or product, while considering the relative difficulty of completing the various tasks and overcoming the obstacles necessary to attain
technological feasibility. The nature of the efforts required to develop the acquired in-process research and development into commercially viable products principally relate to the completion of all planning, designing, prototyping, verification
and testing activities that are necessary to establish that the products can be produced to meet their design specifications, including functions, features and technical performance requirements. The weighted average stage of completion for all
projects, in the aggregate, was approximately 85% as of the acquisition date.

The Company recorded an impairment loss of $0.8
million related to the AP Semi intangible assets during the quarter ended December 31, 2008. See Note 1Business and Significant Accounting Policies for further discussion regarding the impairment charge.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The AP Semi
acquisition complements the Companys ongoing product design and development activities targeted at portable consumer electronic devices, such as digital still cameras, personal media players and mobile phones. The acquisition also creates the
ability to extend value to the customers by increasing the Companys presence in key markets in China, Japan and Taiwan and provide local design support. These opportunities, along with the ability to hire the AP Semis workforce, were
significant contributing factors to the establishment of the purchase price, resulting in the recognition of goodwill.

Included in the total consideration to IP Core was $2.1 million that was paid into an escrow account for the purpose of indemnifying the Company against any misrepresentation in the acquisition agreement. During the fourth quarter of 2007,
the Company and IP Core agreed to share the escrow account equally. As a result, the Company reduced goodwill by the cash received in the amount of approximately $1.1 million.

Pro forma financial information

The results of operations of AP Semi are included in the Companys consolidated statement of operations from November 1, 2006, the date of the acquisition. If the Company had acquired AP Semi at
the beginning of the periods presented, the Companys unaudited pro forma revenue, net loss and net loss per share would have been as follows:



|                                                    |  |                                      |        |

|Shares used in computing net loss per sharebasic   |  |                                      | 43,477 |  
|Shares used in computing net loss per sharediluted |  |                                      | 43,477 |  

These results are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations
would have been if the acquisition of AP Semi had in fact occurred on the dates or for the periods indicated, nor do they purport to project the results of operations for any future periods or as of any date. These results do not give effect to any
cost savings, operating synergies, and revenue enhancements which may result from the acquisition of AP Semi or the costs of achieving these cost savings, operating synergies, and revenue enhancements. The in-process research and development
charge of approximately $290,000 is excluded for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Acquisition of EliteIn
June 2008, the Company acquired Elite Micro Devices, Inc. (Elite), a privately held, Shanghai, China-based audio company for approximately $1.0 million in cash. The Company recorded non-tax deductible goodwill of $0.4 million associated
with this acquisition that was accounted for as a business combination under SFAS No. 141. The Company also wrote off $0.3 million of in-process research and development and did not record any intangible assets as a result of the Elite
acquisition.

As of December 31, 2008, the goodwill balance associated with the Elite acquisition was $0.4 million.

The following table shows the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
(in thousands):



|                                  |  |   |        |

The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on at least an annual basis and determined
that goodwill was not impaired as of December 31, 2008. See Note 1Business and Significant Accounting Policies for further discussion regarding the Companys accounting for goodwill.

5. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY

Common Stock RepurchasesOn October 29, 2008, the Companys board of directors authorized a program to repurchase shares of the Companys outstanding common stock. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company
was authorized to use up to $30 million to repurchase its outstanding common stock. The Company may repurchase shares in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend
upon market conditions and other factors, in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commissions requirements.

During 2008,
the Company repurchased a total of 2.1 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $5.3 million. Shares repurchased are accounted for as treasury stock and the total cost of shares repurchased is recorded as a reduction to
stockholders equity.

WarrantsDuring the year ended December 31, 2003, in connection with the issuance
of a convertible promissory note, the Company issued warrants to purchase 41,953 shares of Series E preferred stock at $2.40 per share. These shares of Series E preferred stock were converted to 41,953 shares of common stock warrants at the time of
the Companys initial public offering. The warrants expired on February 21, 2007.

During the year ended
December 31, 2003, the Company issued to consultants warrants to purchase 25,500 shares of common stock at $0.46 per share. The fair value of the warrants was $7,000 based on the Black-Scholes pricing model using the following weighted average
assumptions: contractual life of five years, risk-free interest rate of 2.91%, volatility of 70% and no dividends during the contractual term. The warrants expired on May 8, 2008.

6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Option PlansThe
Companys board of directors and stockholders approved the Companys 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2005 Plan) in May 2005. The 2005 Plan became effective upon the completion of the Companys initial public offering in August
2005 and provides for the grant of incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, to its employees and its parent and subsidiary corporations employees, and for the grant of Nonstatutory stock
options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance units and performance shares to its employees, directors and consultants and its parent and subsidiary corporations employees and consultants. Options generally vest over fours
years and expire in 10 years. As of December 31, 2008, 1.9 million shares were available for future grant under the 2005 Plan.

Under the 1998 Stock Plan (the 1998 Plan ), 11.1 million shares of common stock were authorized for the grant of incentive or nonqualified stock options as of December 31, 2005. Such
options generally vest over four years and expire in 10 years. As a result of the approval of the 2005 Plan, no further grants were made under the 1998 Plan.

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the Companys
closing stock price on December 31, 2008 and the option exercise price of the shares for stock options that were in the money, multiplied by the number of shares outstanding.

Stock option valuation and stock-based compensation expenseThe Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate
the grant date fair value of an award. The Company used the following weighted average assumptions to calculate the fair values of options granted during the years presented:



|                                |  |                         |   |  |      |   |  |      |

|Expected option term (in years) |  | 4.02                    |   |  | 4.28 |   |  | 4.68 |  
|Risk free interest rate         |  | 2.37                    | % |  | 4.45 | % |  | 4.63 | %
|Expected annual dividend yield  |  | 0                       | % |  | 0    | % |  | 0    | %

The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized during a period is based on
the value of the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those
estimates. The term forfeitures is distinct from cancellations  or expirations and represents only the unvested portion of the surrendered option. The Company re-evaluates forfeiture rates annually and adjusts the
rates as necessary.

On October 9, 2008, the Company accepted for exchange from eligible employees (excluding directors,
consultants and all executives) options to purchase an aggregate of 1.8 million shares of the Companys common stock, pursuant to a stock option exchange program (the 2008 Exchange Offer), giving them the right to tender
outstanding stock options that were granted between February 1, 2007 and July 1, 2008. The eligible options were cancelled as of October 9, 2008. The Company granted new options to purchase an equal number of shares of its common
stock with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Companys common stock on October 9, 2008, which was $3.08 per share, in exchange for the options cancelled in connection with the offer. These new options vest over four
years at a rate of 25 percent after one year, starting on October 9, 2008, and 6.25 percent every three months thereafter. The Company calculated $1.5 million of incremental expense related to the 2008 Exchange Offer as required by SFAS
No. 123(R). The incremental expense combined with the unamortized cost related to the cancelled options will be amortized over the four year vesting period of the new options.

On January 17, 2007, the Company accepted for exchange from eligible employees (excluding directors and Section 16 officers),
options to purchase an aggregate of approximately 1.3 million shares of the Companys common stock, pursuant to a stock option exchange program (the 2007 Exchange Offer) under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, giving them the right to tender outstanding stock options that were granted between August 4, 2005 and September 1, 2006. The eligible options were cancelled as of January 17, 2007. The Company granted new options to purchase an
equal number of shares of its common stock with an exercise price at fair market value of $5.80 in exchange for the options cancelled in connection with the offer. These new options vest at the rate of 25 percent after one year starting on
January 17, 2007 and 6.25 percent every three months thereafter. The Company calculated incremental compensation costs of $1.5 million related to the 2007 Exchange Offer as required by SFAS No. 123(R), which together with the unamortized
costs related to the Old Options, will be amortized over the vesting period of the new options.

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense related to stock options
under SFAS No. 123(R), including the amortization of the intrinsic value under APB No. 25 for pre-April 4, 2005 options for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006:

|                                        |  |                         |       |      |   |       |  |   |      

The related tax effect for stock-based compensation expense for 2008, 2007 and 2006
was approximately $1.2 million, $1.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The related tax effect was determined using the applicable tax rates in jurisdictions to which this expense relates.

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the years 2008, 2007 and 2006 as determined using the Black Scholes
pricing model was $2.83, $8.20 and $7.68, respectively.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised (i.e. the difference
between the market price at exercise and the price paid by the employee to exercise the options) during 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $2.3 million, $9.2 million and $9.2 million, respectively. The total fair value of options vested during 2008, 2007 and
2006 was $5.5 million, $4.5 million and $5.6 million, respectively.

As of December 31, 2008, there was $15.4 million of
total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.1 years.

Deferred Stock CompensationAs discussed in Note 1, the Company accounted for its stock-based awards to employees using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25 before its adoption
of SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006. The Company recorded deferred stock-based compensation equal to the difference between the exercise price and deemed fair value of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. The
compensation is being amortized to expense over the vesting period of the options, generally four years, using the straight-line method. Amortization of such deferred stock-based compensation, net of forfeitures, was $1.0 million, $1.7 million and
$1.9 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

During 2006, the Company accelerated certain unvested portions of stock
option awards granted to one of its employees. As a result, the Company recorded approximately $211,000 as compensation expense in 2006. Additionally, the Company recorded approximately $549,000 and $153,000 in 2007 and 2006, respectively, as
stock-based compensation expense due to acceleration of certain unvested portions of the stock options granted to one of its former employees, as compensation for providing consulting services under a transition agreement.

During the 2008, 2007, and 2006, the Company issued nonstatutory stock options to non-employees. These options were issued for services
provided by the non-employees and were immediately vested at the grant date. Accordingly, in 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded $11,000, $42,000 and $24,600, respectively, of expense associated with stock options granted to non-employees.

Foreign earnings of approximately $0.1 million were considered to be permanently
reinvested in the Companys foreign operations through 2008. If these earnings were remitted to the U.S., they would be subject to domestic and/or foreign taxes. The determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability
related to these earnings is not practicable.

The effective tax rate differs from the applicable U.S. statutory federal
income tax rate for the years ended December 31 as follows:

SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, requires companies to assess
whether valuation allowances should be established against their deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, using a more likely than not standard. In making such judgments,
significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified.

The Company assesses, on a quarterly basis, the
realizability of its deferred tax assets by evaluating all available evidence, both positive and negative, including: (1) the cumulative results of operations in recent years, (2) the nature of recent losses, (3) estimates of future
taxable income and (4) the length of operating loss carryforward periods. During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, the Companys operating results reflected a cumulative three-year loss. The cumulative three-year loss is considered
significant negative evidence which is objective and verifiable. Additional negative evidence included the uncertainty regarding the magnitude and length of the current economic recession and the highly competitive nature of the business. Positive
evidence considered by the Company in its assessment included lengthy operating loss carryforward periods, a lack of unused expired operating loss carryforwards, and estimates of future taxable income.

At December 31, 2008, after considering both the positive and negative evidence, the Company cannot conclude that it is more likely
than not that these assets will be realized. Therefore, the Company established a valuation allowance against its US deferred tax assets with a corresponding non-cash charge of approximately $9.1 million to the provision for income taxes.

At December 31, 2008, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards for federal and state income tax purposes of
approximately $7.0 million and $4.6 million, respectively. The federal and California loss carryforwards expire on various dates both beginning in 2012. At December 31, 2008, the Company also had a net operating loss carryforward for Hong Kong
income tax purposes of approximately $1.5 million, which currently has no expiration date. The Companys available research and business tax credit carry forwards for federal and state income tax purposes are approximately $4.9 million and
$5.0 million, respectively. The federal research credits expire on various dates beginning in 2018. California research tax credits can be carried forward indefinitely.

As of December 31, 2008, the Company had not recorded the full cumulative tax benefit related to tax deductions in excess of previously
expensed stock-based compensation because of unutilized net operating losses and tax credits. If such tax benefits related to tax deductions in excess of previously expensed stock-based compensation were recognized, approximately $2.8 million would
be recorded as an addition to paid-in-capital.

On October 3, 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 was
signed into law. A provision in this legislation provided for the extension of the federal research and development tax credit for qualifying expenditures paid or incurred from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2009. As a result of this
new legislation, the Company generated a federal tax credit of $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 resulting in additional tax credit carryovers.

Commencing on January 1, 2007, uncertain tax positions are accounted for under the provisions of FIN 48, which provides a financial statement recognition threshold and measurement attribute for
a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under FIN 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the
taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized
upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax
positions, and income tax disclosures.

Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006



A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the total amounts of
unrecognized tax benefits for the year ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 is as follows:



|                                                |  |                |       |      |   |       |

|                                                |  | (in thousands) |      
|Beginning balance                               |  | $              | 5,049 |      | $ | 2,408 |  
|Gross increases in tax position in current year |  |                | 1,259 |      |   | 1,646 |  
|Gross increases in tax position for prior years |  |                | 412   |      |   | 1,031 |  
|Settlements/closure of audits                   |  |                |      |      |   | (36   | )
|                                                |  |                |       |      |   |       |  
|Ending Balance                                  |  | $              | 6,720 |      | $ | 5,049 |  
|                                                |  |                |       |      |   |       |  

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits
that, if recognized, would affect the Companys effective tax rate, was $6,146,000 and $4,731,000, respectively.

The
Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized approximately $77,000 and $60,000, respectively,
for interest and penalties, net of taxes. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, total accrued interest and penalties for unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $253,000 and $218,000, respectively.

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. With the exception of California, the
Companys tax years for 1997 through 2008 are subject to examination by the US tax authorities. In August 2007, the Company closed an audit with the state of California for all tax years from inception through 2004, but the state left open the
option to review the Companys research and development tax credits in the future. The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the 2005, 2006 and 2007 tax years. As of December 31, 2008, no audit
adjustments have been made. The Company is no longer subject to foreign examinations by tax authorities for years before 2002. Although the timing of the resolution and/or closure on audits is highly uncertain, it is reasonably possible that the
balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits could significantly change in the next 12 months. However, given the number of years remaining subject to examination and the number of matters being examined, the Company is unable to estimate the range of
possible adjustments to the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits.

8. COMMITMENTS

Capital Lease ObligationsAs of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the costs of software and equipment under the capital leases
included in property and equipment were approximately $371,000. Accumulated amortization of leased equipment at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $321,000 and $174,000, respectively.

Operating Lease ObligationsThe Company leases its primary facility and other offices, under operating leases which expire at
various dates through 2016. Rental expense related to the Companys operating leases totaled $2.0 million, $1.9 million and $1.4 million for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

13. LITIGATION

In May 2003, the Company received a letter from Linear Technology Corporation (Linear Technology) alleging that certain of its charge pump products infringed United States Patent
No. 6,411,531 (531 Patent) owned by Linear Technology. In August 2004, the Company received a letter from Linear Technology alleging that certain of its switching regulator products infringed United States Patent Nos. 5,481,178, 6,304,066
and 6,580,258 (258 Patent). In response to these letters, the Company contacted Linear Technology to convey its good faith belief that it does not infringe the patents in question. Subsequently, the Company became aware of a marketing campaign
conducted by Linear Technology in which it sought to disrupt the Companys business relationships and sales by suggesting to the Companys customers that its products infringe the same U.S. patents mentioned in its two letters to the
Company. As a result, in February 2006, the Company initiated a lawsuit against Linear Technology for unfair business practices, interference

with existing and prospective customers and trade libel, as well as a declaration of patent invalidity and non-infringement. This case is currently stayed pending the outcome of the United States
International Trade Commission (USITC) investigation described in the following paragraphs.

In March 2006, the
USITC responded to a complaint filed by Linear Technology by initiating an investigation under Section 337 of the Tariff Act to determine if certain of the Companys products infringe certain patents owned by Linear Technology. The accused
products include charge pumps and switching regulators and are similar to the products involved in the Companys lawsuit with Linear Technology.

In a Final Determination issued September 24, 2007, the USITC left unchanged its earlier initial determination that the Companys charge pumps do not violate Section 337 of the Tariff Act
because they do not infringe any valid claim of 531 Patent owned by Linear Technology.

The Final Determination also
found that a majority of the Companys switching regulator designs do not infringe Linear Technologys 258 Patent. The USITC also found that one family of switching regulator products infringes certain claims of the 258 Patent.
Following normal USITC procedure, the USITC issued a limited exclusion order under Section 337 of the Tariff Act prohibiting the direct importation by the Company of this particular product family. This exclusion order does not, however,
prevent the Companys customers from importing their products into the United States. To date, the Companys sales of this product family in the United States have been minimal. Linear Technologys request that downstream products be
barred from importation was denied.

Linear Technology has appealed portions of the Final Determination to the United States
Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. This appeal is bifurcated into separate charge pump and switching regulator portions. On August 28, 2008 the Court of Appeals issued a ruling on the charge pump portion and upheld the invalidity of the
531 Patent. The Company believes that this ends the unsuccessful attempt by Linear Technology to assert its 531 Patent against the Company at the International Trade Commission. The separate appeal for the switching regulator portion
remains pending at the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

On October 1, 2008, the USITC served
notice that it will begin a formal enforcement proceeding for the limited exclusion order originally issued on September 24, 2007. The enforcement proceeding has been undertaken at the request of Linear Technology which has alleged that the
Company has violated the limited exclusion order by importing certain switching regulator products. The Company believes that these allegations are not based in fact and that none of its products infringe the Linear Technology patents in question.
The Companys domestic sales of these products have been minimal to date and the Company expects domestic sales of these products to be minimal in future periods. However, whether or not the Company prevails in this proceeding, the Company
expects to incur significant legal expenses which will be expensed when incurred.

15. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

During the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Company identified errors in stock-based compensation expense for fiscal years
2008, 2007 and 2006. The errors were identified after the Companys third-party software provider notified its clients, including the Company, that it made a change to how its software program calculates stock-based compensation expense.
Specifically, the prior version of this software calculated stock-based compensation expense by incorrectly continuing to apply a weighted average forfeiture rate to the vested portion of stock option awards until the grants final vest date,
resulting in an understatement of stock-based compensation expense in certain periods prior to the grants final vest date. Thus, this accounting error relates to the timing of estimated stock-based compensation expense recognition.

The Company determined that the cumulative stock-based compensation expense errors related to the periods discussed above totaled $2.1
million. To correct these errors, the Company has recorded additional pre-tax non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $1.5 million in fiscal 2008, $0.4 million in fiscal 2007 and $0.2 million in fiscal 2006 and the related tax adjustments for
these periods.

The cumulative pre-tax effect of the stock-based compensation adjustments on the consolidated balance sheets
for the years ended 2008, 2007 and 2006 was an increase in additional paid-in capital offset by a corresponding decrease in accumulated deficit which resulted in no net effect on stockholders equity. The Company also recorded certain
tax-related adjustments in connection with the adjustments discussed above including an insignificant change to the tax benefit from stock option exercises.

The following tables present the effect of the restatement adjustments by financial statement line item for the Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations and Statements of Cash Flows.

|ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|-------- | -----------------------

(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2008. The term disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange
Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported,
within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports
that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the
cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

In connection with the restatement described in Note 15 to our
consolidated financial statements, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer determined that there was a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, as more fully described below in
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting (as revised). Based on this evaluation and because of the material weakness described below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2008.

(b) Managements Report
on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (As Revised)

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of
the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. 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.

A deficiency in
internal control over financial reporting exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A
deficiency in design exists when (a) a control necessary to meet the control objective is missing or (b) an existing control is not properly designed so that, even if the control operates as designed, the control objective would not
be met. A deficiency in operation exists when a properly designed control does not operate as designed, or when the person performing the control does not possess the necessary authority or competence to perform the control effectively. A
significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the
companys financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the companys
annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

In connection with the
restatement discussed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, re-assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2008. Management based its assessment on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Managements assessment
included the evaluation of elements such as the design and operating effectiveness of key financial reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies, and our overall control environment. Based upon this assessment, our management has
concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP because of the following material weakness:



| |  |  | The Companys controls to calculate stock-based compensation expense related to the application of the forfeiture rate were not designed
effectively. As a result, a material weakness exists in the design of the controls over the calculation of stock-based compensation expense related to the application of the forfeiture rate. This control deficiency led to a misstatement of
stock-based compensation expense, which was not prevented or detected on a timely basis, and resulted in a restatement of our 2008, 2007 and 2006 consolidated financial statements.

We reviewed the results of managements assessment with the Audit Committee of our
Board of Directors. Our independent registered public accounting firm, which audited the consolidated financial statements included in this amended annual report on Form 10-K/A, has issued an attestation report, included elsewhere herein, which
expresses an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

(c) Changes in Internal Controls Over
Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred in the
fourth quarter of the period covered by this Annual Report of Form 10-K/A that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

(d) Remedial Efforts to Address the Material Weakness

Subsequent to the identification of the material weakness during the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Company has initiated remediation measures to address the material weakness over the
calculation of stock-based compensation expense related to the application of the forfeiture rate which includes adding a control procedure to test the calculation of the third-party stock-based compensation system reports on a quarterly basis and
upon our upgrades to new versions of the software.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Advanced Analogic Technologies, Inc.

Santa Clara, California

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Advanced Analogic Technologies Incorporated and subsidiaries (the
Company) as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Companys management is
responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting (As Revised). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, 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 by, or
under the supervision of, the companys principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the companys board of directors, management, and other personnel 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 the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting,
including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the
internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our report dated February 26, 2009, we expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys
internal control over financial reporting. As described in the following paragraph, a material weakness was subsequently identified as a result of the restatement of the Companys previously issued 2008 consolidated financial statements.
Accordingly, management has revised its assessment about the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting and our present opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2008, as expressed herein, is different from that expressed in our previous report.

A material
weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the companys annual or interim financial statements will not
be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weakness has been identified as of December 31, 2008, and included in managements assessment:



| |  |  | The Companys controls to calculate stock-based compensation expense related to the application of the forfeiture rate were not designed
effectively. As a result, a material weakness exists in the design of the controls over the calculation of stock-based compensation expense related to the application of the forfeiture rate. This control deficiency led to a misstatement of
stock-based compensation expense,which was not prevented or detected on a timely basis, and resulted in a restatement of the Companys 2008, 2007 and 2006 consolidated financial statements.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the consolidated
financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008, and this report does not affect our report on such financial statements.

In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness identified above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control as
of December 31, 2008, based on the criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated
financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008, and our report dated February 26, 2009 (October 5, 2009 as to the effects of the restatement discussed in Note 15) expressed an unqualified opinion on
those financial statements and included an explanatory paragraph regarding the restatement.
