PART I



|ITEM 1. | BUSINESS
|------- | --------

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, notebook computers, 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 LG Electronics, Inc., Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., and Sony Ericsson. We sell through distributors and original design manufacturers, or ODMs, and to
other system designers, including Hewlett-Packard Company, Lenovo Group Ltd., Quanta Computers Inc. and Toshiba Corporation.

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, 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 or broadband formats such as WiMax. 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 life 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 life 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.

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, the
voltage regulator and reference power management semiconductor market is expected to grow from $6.6 billion in 2006 to $12.2 billion in 2011, a compound annual growth rate of 14%. We believe that demand for power management and voltage regulation in
consumer electronic devices will increase.

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.

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 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 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 and higher efficiency. Due to long
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
user-programmable PowerSOCs can provide high-performance space saving components having customer-specific features with reduced development 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 mobile consumer 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 battery.

Interposed
between the battery 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 battery 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 60 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, 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 used in 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.

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 demands making 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, notebook computers, 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 600 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 over 100 new products in 2007. 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 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.



| |  |  | 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.



| |  |  | 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.



| |  |  | 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.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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. ModularBCD supports device operation up to thirty volts. We currently have
more than 30 new products in development that use the ModularBCD process. In 2007, we have released 26 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.

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 LG Electronics, Inc., Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Sony Ericsson. We sell through distributors and original design
manufacturers, or ODMs, and to other system designers, including Hewlett-Packard Company, Lenovo Group Ltd., Quanta Computers Inc. and Toshiba Corporation.

We sell our products through our direct sales and applications support organization to original equipment manufacturers, original design manufacturers and contract electronics manufacturers, as well as 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 81%, 80% and 80% of our net revenue from our ten largest customers in 2007, 2006 and 2005. Our largest direct customer in 2007, 2006 and 2005 was LG Electronics, which accounted for
20%, 28% and 37% of our net revenue in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Sales to another direct customer, Samsung, accounted for 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 25%
and 20% of our net revenue for 2007 and 2006, respectively. In addition, one distributor, ChiefTech Electronics Limited, accounted for 15% of our net revenue in 2007. No single distributor accounted for more than 10% of our net revenue in 2006 and
2005. End users of our products purchasing from us directly accounted for 54%, 56% and 50% of our net revenue in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, while distributors, original design manufacturers and contract electronics manufacturers accounted
for 46%, 44% and 50% of our net revenue in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Our technical global sales and field applications force is
organized in regional teams, 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, 2007, we had a total of 84 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; Raleigh, North Carolina; Stockholm, Sweden; London, England; and 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 10 to the consolidated financial statements for our revenues and long-lived assets by geographic regions.

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, fab sustaining and quality functions are also located in Shanghai, China and in Seoul, Korea.

Semiconductor Corporation, we expanded our global engineering team and established Tokyo and Shanghai design centers, 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.

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 potential
growth opportunities for us in 2008 and beyond including:



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



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



| |  |  | Multi-voltage power management ICs comprising a mix of 3V, 5V, 12V and 30V 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 fully-integrated PowerSOC for digital still cameras comprising seven regulated voltages including multiple switching regulators, LCD positive and negative bias,
and LED backlighting.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Complete integrated LED lighting solutions for smartphones including LED keypad and backlighting, high current camera flash, RGB color lighting and integrated
linear regulators.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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. In the fourth quarter of 2007, ModularBCD products represented four percent of revenue. The majority of our new product designs now in development utilize ModularBCD.

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 2007, 2006 and 2005, we spent $31.0 million, $23.8 million and $19.5 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 50 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, Linear Technology, National Semiconductor, Intersil and Texas Instruments. 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;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



| |  |  | our ability to recruit and retain engineering staff; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



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

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

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 underestimating or overestimating 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, LG Electronics Inc. of South Korea and Samsung of South Korea, as well as from one of our distributors, ChiefTech Electronics Ltd. of China. We received an aggregate of
approximately 20%, 15% and 11% of our revenue from LG Electronics, ChiefTech and Samsung in 2007 and 28%, 10% and 11% in 2006, respectively. In addition, we sell to a number of contract manufacturers of Samsung. Total sales to Samsung and its
contract manufacturers represented 25% and 20% of our net revenue for 2007 and 2006, 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 81% of our revenues from our ten largest customers in 2007. 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 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 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 unsuccessful in developing and selling new products or in penetrating new markets.

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. 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.

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



| |  |  | The development and commercial introduction of products incorporating new technology are frequently delayed.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 42%, 39% and 42% of our revenues for years 2007, 2006 and 2005, 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, 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, our revenues will decrease. 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, approximately 98%, 98% and 99% of our revenues came from customers in Asia, particularly South Korea, Taiwan, China and Japan, in years 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. 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. 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



23

##### Table of Contents

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.

Our products are manufactured at a
limited number of locations. If we experience manufacturing problems at a particular location, 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.

In addition, a significant portion of our sales is 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 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.

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

We have experienced significant growth in a short period of time. Our revenues have increased from
approximately $1.0 million in 2001 to $110 million in 2007. We do not expect to achieve similar growth rates in future periods. 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 295 employees on December 31, 2007, 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 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, 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;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 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

##### Table of Contents

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 22, 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.

Recently, Linear Technology served notice that it will be appealing portions of the Final
Determination to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. On February 20, 2008, Linear Technology filed a complaint with the USITC seeking an enforcement proceeding to correct alleged violations of the limited exclusion order
of September 22, 2007. We intend to oppose both of these actions and to appeal portions of the Final Determination that were unfavorable to us. We believe that none of our products infringe the Linear Technology patents in question. However,
whether or not we prevail in this appeal, we expect to incur significant legal expenses.

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 50 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



27

##### Table of Contents

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. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including the following:



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



| |  |  | 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, 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. 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 connected by a virtual 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.

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 earnings being lower than anticipated in countries where we have
lower statutory rates and higher than anticipated 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.

The requirement that we expense employee stock options has significantly reduced our net income and will continue to do so in future periods.

We adopted SFAS No.123(R) effective January 1, 2006, which requires the measurement of all share-based payments to employees, including grants of
employee stock options, using a fair-value-based method and the recording of such expense in our consolidated statements of operations. As a result of adopting SFAS No.123(R), we now have additional stock-based compensation expense associated with
grants after April 4, 2005, the date of our initial filing of our registration statement in connection with our initial public offering, based on the grant date fair value. The ultimate amount of future stock-based compensation expense will
depend upon the number of grants, the estimated grant date fair value, which depends upon significant assumptions including stock volatility and estimated term, the assumed forfeiture rate and the requisite service period for future grants. This
expense has had a significant impact on our results of operations since 2006. We have recorded approximately $6.9 million and $6.1 million of stock-based compensation expense under SFAS No.123(R) for years 2007 and 2006, respectively. We believe
that this will continue to have a significant impact on our future operating results.

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 in 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 paragraph.

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 22, 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 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.

Recently, Linear Technology served notice that it will be appealing portions of the Final Determination to the
United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. On February 20, 2008, Linear Technology filed a complaint with the USITC seeking an enforcement proceeding to correct alleged violations of the limited exclusion order of
September 22, 2007. We intend to oppose both of these actions and to appeal portions of the Final Determination that were unfavorable to us. We believe that none of our products infringe the Linear Technology patents in question. However,
whether or not we prevail in this appeal, we expect to incur significant legal expenses.

|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. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see Forward-Looking Statements above. 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, particularly under the heading Risk Factors.

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,
notebook computers, 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. We currently offer a portfolio of over 600 power management
products comprising Power Management application-specific standard products, or ASSPs, and selected general-purpose analog integrated circuits, or ICs, in single-chip and multi-chip packages. We sell directly to original equipment manufacturers, or
OEMs, including LG Electronics, Inc., Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Sony Ericsson. We sell through distributors and original design manufacturers, or ODMs, and to other system designers, including Hewlett-Packard Company, Lenovo Group Ltd.,
Quanta Computers Inc. and Toshiba Corporation.

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
majority of our revenues from sales of our ChargePump product family, which is primarily used for driving white LED backlighting of color displays. In the future, we expect to derive an increasing percentage of our revenues from other product
families, such as switching regulator ICs, lithium-ion battery charger ICs and power system-on-chip integrated multifunction power products, or Power SOCs.

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, income taxes, share-based compensation and goodwill. 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 from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. 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.

##### Table of Contents

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 104), Revenue Recognition. SAB 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 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 $98,000 and $119,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, related to three of our distributors for which we are unable to reasonably estimate returns and recognize revenues from these distributors.

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 to net realizable value inventory in excess of nine months forecasted
product demand. 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) supersedes our previous
accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB No. 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees for periods beginning in fiscal 2006. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) relating to SFAS No. 123(R). We have applied the provisions of SAB 107 in our adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).

We adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of
January 1, 2006, the first day of our fiscal year 2006. Our



36

##### Table of Contents

consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 reflect the impact of SFAS No. 123(R). In accordance with the
modified prospective transition method, our consolidated financial statements for periods prior to January 1, 2006 have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS No. 123(R). We account for stock-based awards to
non-employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18.

On November 10, 2005, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-3, Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards. We have elected to adopt the alternative
transition method provided in the FASB Staff Position for calculating the tax effects of stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R). The alternative transition method includes simplified methods for establishing the beginning balance
of the additional paid-in capital pool (APIC pool) related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and consolidated statements of cash flows of the tax effects of
employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).

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, continue to be amortized over the respective vesting period and
do not include an estimated forfeiture rate. The actual forfeitures of these options are recorded as they occur. These options granted prior to April 4, 2005 have been valued using the intrinsic value method and as of December 31, 2007,
the remaining unamortized portion of the deferred stock based compensation relating to these options is $1.1 million. 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 fair value of these options was previously calculated
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and, under SFAS No.123(R), is adjusted for an estimated forfeiture rate and amortized over the 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 also calculated by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Compensation expense for all share-based payment awards continues to be recognized using the straight-line single-option method. Stock-based compensation
expenses recognized in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007, 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. In our pro forma information
required under SFAS No. 123 for the periods prior to 2006, we accounted for forfeitures as they occurred.

The adoption of SFAS
No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006 had the following impact on 2006 results: income before income tax was lower by $3.7 million, net income was lower by $3.5 million and basic and diluted EPS were both lower by $0.08.

See Note 5 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



37

##### Table of Contents

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 our consolidated financial statements, we assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be realized from future taxable income. We establish a valuation allowance if we determine 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 our consolidated statements of operations as a provision for (benefit from) income taxes. We exercise significant judgment in
determining our provisions for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and our future taxable income for purposes of assessing our ability to utilize any future tax benefit from our deferred tax assets. During 2007, we assessed the
need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. The deferred tax asset valuation allowance was $23,000 as of December 31, 2007. The valuation allowance relates to the utilization of foreign tax credits.

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 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.

Goodwill

In accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS No. 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is subject to annual impairment tests performed in the third quarter of each year, or
earlier if indicators of potential impairment exist and suggest that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable from estimated discounted future cash flows. Because we have one reporting segment under SFAS No. 142, we utilize the
entity-wide approach to assess goodwill for impairment and compare our market value to our net book value to determine if an impairment exists. These impairment tests may result in impairment losses that could have a material adverse impact on our
results of operations.

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, 2007, we had investments in short-term debt instruments which were classified as available-for-sale under SFAS No. 115. Short-term investments consist primarily of high grade debt securities with a
maturity of greater than 90 days when purchased. We classified investments with maturities greater than



38

##### Table of Contents

one year as short-term investments as we consider all investments as a potential source of operating cash regardless of maturity date. Our debt securities
are carried at fair market value with the related unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is a separate component of stockholders equity. The cost of securities sold is based on specific
identification method. Interest earned on securities is included in Interest and Investment Income in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of investments is determined using observable or quoted market prices for
those securities.

As of December 31, 2007, we had $114.2 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, including
approximately $7.5 million of principal invested in auction rate securities (ARS). The ARS held by us are collateralized with Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) student loans. The interest rates of these ARS are
reset through a dutch auction each month. FFELP was created by the U.S. Congress in 1965 to deliver and administer guaranteed education loans for students and their parents. The loans are guaranteed by FFELP which is run by the Department of
Education. Individual loans are guaranteed between 97% and 100% by FFELP depending on when the loan was originated. The monthly auctions have historically provided a liquid market for these securities. During February 2008, we successfully
liquidated approximately $4.3 million of these securities. The remaining three ARS that were not liquidated had successful reset auctions in January 2008 and as such, we determined that no impairment existed as of December 31, 2007. However,
the remaining three ARS we invested in had failed auctions in February 2008, in that there were insufficient buyers for these ARS. As a result of the failed auctions, the ARS will generally pay interest to the holder at a maximum rate as
defined by the governing documents or indenture, which resets periodically at a level higher than defined short-term interest benchmarks. We cannot predict whether future auctions related to our ARS will be successful. In connection with preparing
our interim financial statements for the first quarter of 2008, we will address whether the failed auctions are indicative that these securities had an impairment subsequent to December 31, 2007.

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 revenue 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 shipment in 2007 increased 37 percent compared to 2006, while average selling prices remained flat.

Geographically, sales to China, Korea, Taiwan and North America increased 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.

Our net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to 2005 increased due to increased sales
of our Display and Lighting Solutions and Voltage Regulation and DC/DC Conversion products. Our average selling prices remained the same in fiscal 2006 as compared to 2005; therefore, the increase in revenues was almost entirely produced by an
increase in unit volume sales of approximately 18% for fiscal 2006 as compared to 2005. The increase in Display and Lighting Solutions revenues was primarily driven by increased sales of our ChargePump products and the increase in Voltage Regulation
and DC/DC Conversion revenues was primarily driven by increased sales of our SwitchReg products for fiscal 2006 as compared to 2005.

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 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. Historically, the net effect of inventory write-down has not had a material impact on our gross profit.

Our gross margin was 57 percent for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to 61 percent
for the year ended December 31, 2005. This decrease was due to a number of factors:



| |  |  | 3 percentage points of the decrease is attributable to higher cost of revenues we incurred because of decreased production yields as a result of product and
customer specification complexity;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 3 percentage points of the decrease is due to unfavorable product mix and decreases in our average selling prices;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 2006, the gross write-down of
inventory was $3.3 million, offset by the sale of $3.3 million of previously written down inventory. During 2006, we physically scrapped $0.3 million of previously written-down inventory.

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 2007 increased as compared to 2006 primarily due to:



| |  |  | a $3.1 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;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a $2.3 million increase in information technology, occupancy and other research and development operation support expenses; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a $1.7 million increase in engineering expenses and outside services as we continued to develop new products.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Research and development expense as a percentage of net revenue decreased slightly.

##### Table of Contents

Research and development expenses for fiscal 2006 as compared to 2005, increased due to the following
factors:



| |  |  | increased stock-based compensation expense of $1.6 million due to adoption of SFAS 123(R);
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increased salary and employee related expense of $0.9 million due to increase in headcount;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increased engineering related expenses of $0.7 million;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | AP Semis research and development expenses of $0.6 million;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | in-process research and development expenses of $0.3 million from the acquisition of AP Semi; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increased manufacturing support related expenses of $0.2 million.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------

These higher expenses were incurred as we increased expenditures related to accelerated development activities for ModularBCD process and new products, particularly for switching regulators.

Sales, General and Administrative

Sales expenses consist primarily of employee and contractor compensation, sales performance and other bonuses, occupancy costs of sales personnel, sales commissions to independent sales representatives and promotional and marketing
expenses. We include field application engineering support of sales activities in sales expense. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee and contractor compensation, bonuses, occupancy costs of general and administrative
personnel, insurance and fees paid for professional services. Costs associated with audit and taxation, corporate governance and compliance, financial reporting and litigation matters are also general and administrative expenses.

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



| |  |  | a $4.4 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;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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. We believe that we will continue to incur significant litigation expenses in 2008. 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 the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to 2005,
increased due to increased legal expenses related to our ongoing litigation with Linear Technologies Corporation.

Interest and Other
Income (Expense), Net

Interest and investment income was $5.6 million, $5.8 million and $2.0 million for 2007, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. 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. The increase in interest and investment income in 2006 compared to 2005 was
primarily attributable to higher interest income earned on higher cash balances resulting from the proceeds of our initial public offering in August 2005.

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 private equity investment that was accounted for using cost method. Other expense in 2006 and 2005 were insignificant.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

Our income tax provision (benefit) was $1.3 million, ($0.1) million, and $4.1 million for fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Our effective tax rate for 2007 was substantially higher than the statutory federal rate primarily due to
the effect of significant stock-based compensation expense, most of which related to incentive stock options for which no corresponding tax benefit is recognized unless a disqualifying disposition occurs. Disqualifying dispositions result in a
reduction of income tax expense in the quarter when the



44

##### Table of Contents

disqualifying disposition occurs in an amount equal to the tax benefit relating to previously expensed stock-based compensation. As of December 31,
2007, we had not recorded any tax benefits 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 $3.1 million would be recorded as an addition to paid-in-capital.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

FIN 48

On January 1, 2007, we adopted 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 upon 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.

As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized $550,000 of a net decrease in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits with a corresponding
increase to Retained Earnings of $543,000 and a reduction of Deferred Tax Assets of $7,000. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:



|                                                  |  |   |           |

|Balance at January 1, 2007                        |  | $ | 2,408,000 |  
|Gross increases in tax positions for current year |  | $ | 1,646,000 |  
|Gross increases in tax positions for prior years  |  | $ | 1,031,000 |  
|Settlements/Closure of audits                     |  | $ | (36,000   | )
|                                                  |  |   |           |  
|Balance at December 31, 2007                      |  | $ | 5,049,000 |  
|                                                  |  |   |           |  

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax
rate was $4,731,000 at December 31, 2007.

We recognize interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in our
provision for income taxes. During the year ended December 31, 2007, we recognized approximately $62,000 and $16,000 for interest and penalties, respectively. As of December 31, 2007, total accrued interest and penalties for unrecognized
tax benefits were approximately $141,000 and $77,000, respectively. We are subject to taxation in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. With the exception of California, our tax years for 1997 through 2007 are subject to
examination by the tax authorities. In August 2007, we 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 our research and development tax credits in the future.
The results of the audit are included in our provision for income taxes. We are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the 2005 and 2006 tax years. As of December 31, 2007, no audit adjustments have been made.
Currently, an estimate of the range of the reasonably possible change in unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months cannot be made. We are no longer subject to foreign examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2001.

SFAS No. 159

In February
2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items
at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the



45



---

##### Table of Contents

opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge
accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 applies to all entities and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not believe SFAS No. 159 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 141(R)

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)), 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 the 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 apply prospectively to
business combinations completed on or after that date.

Our cash and cash equivalents were $53.8 million as of December 31, 2007 and $58.1 million as
of December 31, 2006.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash generated by our operating activities was $8.6 million in 2007. Net income of $1.9 million was adjusted for by the stock-based compensation expenses of $6.9 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 generated by our operating activities was $5.7 million in 2006. Net loss of $2.1 million was adjusted for by the stock-based compensation expenses of $6.1 million, depreciation and amortization expenses

##### Table of Contents

of $1.8 million and the net changes in operating assets and liabilities. Our stock-based compensation expense increased in 2006 as a result of our adoption
of SFAS 123(R) and the increased number of options granted to employees. Depreciation and amortization expenses also increased due to $0.2 million amortization of intangible assets acquired from AP Semi and increased investment in research and
development and infrastructure. The increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses were primarily attributable to increased compensation costs due to increased headcount and increased overall consultancy and outside professional costs. The
increase in inventories was primarily due to increased purchases of materials and production to meet expected demand. Increase in deferred income taxes was primarily due to current year timing differences, tax credits and tax loss carryforwards to
be utilized in the future.

Net cash generated by our operating activities was $7.0 million in 2005. Net income of $2.1 million was
adjusted for by the stock-based compensation of $2.4 million, depreciation and amortization expenses of $1.5 million and the net changes in operating assets and liabilities. Our stock-based compensation expenses increased in 2005 as a result of
increased number of options granted to employees and consultants. Depreciation and amortization expenses also increased in 2005 and we expected that this will continue to rise as we invested in research and development and infrastructure. The
increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities were primarily attributable to increases in compensation costs due to increased headcount and increased overall consultancy and outside professional costs. The decrease in deferred income taxes
and increase in income tax payable were the result of the implementation of our international tax structure and higher taxable income. The reduction in inventory was primarily due to increased shipments at the end of the quarter. Our accounts
receivable balance increased due to the timing of increased fourth quarter sales. Increases in our current assets in 2005 were primarily attributable to increased prepaid insurance, which was amortized over the service period.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

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 of $73.1 million used in investing activities in 2006 consisted primarily of a net cash outflow of $49.6 million to purchase short-term
investments, $20.6 million used to acquire AP Semi, $1.4 million used to purchase various engineering software and equipment to support our internal infrastructure growth, $0.9 million used to invest in a private equity and funding of restricted
cash escrow funds related to the acquisition of AP Semi of $0.7 million.

Net cash of $1.1 million used in investing activities in 2005 was
used to purchase equipment.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

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.

Net cash provided by our financing activities in 2006 was $1.2 million, and primarily consisted of net proceeds from
exercises of common stock options and warrants of $1.0 million as well as a tax benefit from equity transactions of $0.3 million.

##### Table of Contents

Net cash provided by our financing activities in 2005 primarily consisted of $96.3 million of net
proceeds from our initial public offering, which closed on August 15, 2005, $0.3 million of proceeds from exercises of common stock options and warrants, $0.2 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our employee stock
purchase plan, offset by $26,000 for payments of our capital lease obligations.

Liquidity

We believe our existing cash balances, as well as cash expected to be generated from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash
needs for at least the next 12 months. Our liquidity is not impacted by the current situation related to the auction rate securities subsequent to December 31, 2007.

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.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

Our cash equivalents and 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, 2007, our cash equivalent and short-term investment portfolio consist of
the following securities:



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

Most of our 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. Given the short term nature of these investments, anticipated declining interest rates will negatively impact our investment income.

The following table presents the change in our portfolio value if the rate were to change by:

As of December 31, 2007, none of the securities in our portfolio were backed by subprime
mortgage loans or other collateral with exposure to current credit conditions.

As of December 31, 2007, we had $114.2 million of
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, including approximately $7.5 million of principal invested in auction rate securities (ARS). The ARS held by us are collateralized with Federal Family Education Loan Program
(FFELP) student loans. The interest rates of these ARS are reset through a dutch auction each month. FFELP was created by the U.S. Congress in 1965 to deliver and administer guaranteed education loans for students and their
parents. The loans are guaranteed by FFELP which is run by the Department of Education. Individual loans are guaranteed between 97% and 100% by FFELP depending on when the loan was originated. The monthly auctions have historically
provided a liquid market for these securities. During February 2008, we successfully liquidated approximately $4.3 million of these securities. The remaining three ARS that were not liquidated had successful reset auctions in January 2008 and as
such, we determined that no impairment existed as of December 31, 2007. However, the remaining three ARS we invested in had failed auctions in February 2008, in that there were insufficient buyers for these ARS. As a result of the failed
auctions, the ARS will generally pay interest to the

holder at a maximum rate as defined by the governing documents or indenture, which resets periodically at a level higher than defined short-term interest
benchmarks. We cannot predict whether future auctions related to our ARS will be successful. In connection with preparing our interim financial statements for the first quarter of 2008, we will address whether the failed auctions are indicative that
these securities had an impairment subsequent to December 31, 2007.

We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment
portfolio. Investment debt securities are classified as available-for-sale, and no gains or losses are recognized by us in our results of operations due to changes in interest rates unless such securities are sold prior to maturity. These
investments are reported at fair value with the related unrealized gains and losses being included in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders equity.

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 Incorporated

Santa Clara, CA

We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Advanced Analogic Technologies Incorporated and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, 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, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the 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, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, 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 and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment,effective
January 1, 2006.

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, 2007, 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 March 4, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

ADVANCED ANALOGIC TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005

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 generally accepted accounting principles 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 investments and receivables. The Company invests only in high-quality credit instruments with maturities of two
years 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. At December 31, 2007,
the top three customers accounted for a total of 65 percent of net accounts receivable. At December 31, 2006, the top three customers accounted for a total of 55 percent of net accounts receivable.

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 classified as short-term investments.

InvestmentsThe Company accounts for its 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, 2007, the Company had investments in short-term debt instruments which were classified as available-for-sale under SFAS No. 115. Short-term investments consist primarily of high grade debt
securities with a maturity of greater than 90 days when purchased. The Company classifies investments with maturities greater than one year as short-term investments as it considers all investments as a potential source of operating cash regardless
of maturity date. The Companys debt securities are carried at fair market value with the related unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is a separate component of stockholders equity. The
cost of securities sold is based on specific identification method. Interest earned on securities is included in Interest and Investment Income in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of investments is determined
using observable or quoted market prices for those securities.

In addition to debt securities, a portion of the Companys investment
portfolio consists of an equity investment in a non-publicly traded company. The Company has classified this investment as long-term other assets. This investment is carried at cost and evaluated for other than temporary impairment at each reporting
period. (See Note 2)

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. Because of the cyclicality of the market in
which the Company operates, inventory levels, obsolescence of technology and product life cycles, the Company generally writes down inventory for product that is over 12 months old. Starting from the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company writes down
excess inventory to net realizable value inventory in excess of nine months forecasted product demand. Previously, the Company generally wrote down excess inventory 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 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded inventory write-downs of $4.2 million, $3.3 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 $1.6 million, $1.6 million and $1.5 million for years 2007, 2006 and 2005, 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 (SFAS No. 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, under which
goodwill is no longer subject to amortization. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment, at a minimum, on an annual basis and whenever events and changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment of
goodwill is tested 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 utilizes the entity-wide approach to assess goodwill for impairment. The Company performed a goodwill impairment analysis during
the third quarter of 2007 pursuant to the steps and requirements under SFAS No. 142 and determined that the goodwill is not impaired.

Long-Lived Assets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. When the sum of the undiscounted future
net cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss would be measured based on the fair value of the asset compared to the carrying amount.

Revenue RecognitionThe Company recognizes revenues in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (SAB 104),
Revenue Recognition. SAB 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 $98,000 and $119,000 at December 31, 2007 and
2006, 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 and $306,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

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 accrued warranty, which is included in accrued liabilities, for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, is as follows:



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

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 $630,000, $712,000 and $631,000 for 2007, 2006 and 2005, 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 Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards 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 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. The Company must then assess the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent the Company believes that recovery
is not likely, the Company must establish a valuation allowance.

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 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.

As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, as of January 1, 2007, the Company recognized $550,000 of a net decrease in
the liability for unrecognized tax benefits with a corresponding increase to retained earnings of $543,000 and a reduction of deferred tax assets of $7,000.

Stock-Based CompensationOn January 1, 2006, the Company 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) supersedes the Companys previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB No. 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees for periods beginning in fiscal 2006. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Topic 14, Share-based payment (SAB 107), relating to SFAS No. 123(R). The Company has applied
the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, which
requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of the Companys fiscal year 2006. The Companys consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 reflect
the impact of SFAS No. 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the Companys consolidated financial statements for periods prior to January 1, 2006 have not been restated to reflect, and do not include,
the impact of SFAS No. 123(R). The Company accounts for stock-based awards to non-employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Investments That Are Issued to
Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.

On November 10, 2005, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-3, Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards. The Company has elected to adopt the alternative
transition method provided in the FASB Staff Position for calculating the tax effects of stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R). The alternative transition method includes simplified methods for establishing the beginning balance
of the additional paid-in capital pool (APIC pool) related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and consolidated statements of cash flows of the tax effects of
employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).

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 expenses 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 123(R)) which were previously recorded under the provisions of APB No. 25, continue to be amortized over the
respective vesting period and do not include an estimated forfeiture rate. The actual forfeitures of these options are recorded as they occur. These options granted prior to April 4, 2005 have been valued using the intrinsic value method and as
of December 31, 2007, the remaining unamortized portion of the deferred stock-based compensation relating to these options is $1.1 million. 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 fair value of these options was
previously calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and, under SFAS No. 123(R), is adjusted for an estimated forfeiture rate and amortized over the 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.

Compensation expense for all share-based payment awards continues to be recognized using the
straight-line single-option method. Stock-based compensation expenses recognized in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007, 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. In the Companys pro forma information required under SFAS No. 123 for the periods prior to fiscal 2006, the Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred.

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 losses were $(296,000), $(37,000) and $(94,000) for 2007, 2006 and 2005, 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 short-term 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 SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. 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 effects of
potentially dilutive securities, which consist of convertible preferred stock and common stock options and warrants, common stock subject to repurchase and preferred stock warrants. Potentially dilutive securities

For 2007, outstanding common stock options of approximately 2.9 million shares have been excluded
as their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

SFAS No. 141(R)

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 apply prospectively to business
combinations completed on or after that date.

SFAS No. 159

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS
No. 159), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in
reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 applies to all entities and is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007.

The Company does not believe SFAS No. 159 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.

4. ACQUISITION

On October 31, 2006, the Company acquired 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. This amount was disclosed as restricted cash on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheet. 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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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:

Core developed technologyCore developed technology of approximately $2.9 million
relates to the 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.

Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the
purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The 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. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the
Company is not amortizing goodwill. The Company will carry the goodwill at cost and test it for impairment annually in the third quarter of each year and whenever events indicate that impairment may have occurred. The goodwill is deductible for
tax purposes.

The following table shows the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill in 2007, (in thousands):

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.

The acquired intangible assets are being amortized over their useful
lives of three years and consist of the following:

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 years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

5. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY

Initial Public OfferingOn August 8, 2005, the Company completed its initial public offering of 9,000,000 shares of its common stock,
which it sold to the public at a price of $10.00 per share. In addition, the Companys selling stockholders offered 1,600,000 existing shares held by them. On August 15, 2005, the Company sold an additional 1,590,000 shares pursuant to the
underwriters exercise of their over-allotment option.

Convertible Preferred StockAt the time of the Companys
initial public offering, all of the Companys preferred stock series were converted to 24,627,504 shares of the Companys common stock.

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. The
warrants are fully vested and expired on February 21, 2007. 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.

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 warrants are fully vested and expire on May 8, 2008. 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.

At the time of the Companys initial public offering,
all of the Companys preferred stock warrants were exercised or converted to common stock warrants and a portion of the Companys common stock warrants were exercised. As of December 31, 2007, there were 9,450 shares of common stock
warrants outstanding.

Stock Option Plan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. Shares available for future grant under the
2005 Plan at December 31, 2007 was 960,650.

Under the 1998 Stock Plan (the 1998 Plan ), 11,139,291 shares of common stock
have been 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.

award. For purposes of calculating volatility, the Company used the historical stock prices of an industry peer group for options granted prior to the Companys IPO on August 8, 2006. For options granted subsequent to January 1, 2006,
the Company used its historical stock price after its IPO. The Company changed its method of estimating expected volatility for options granted in fourth quarter of 2006 from exclusively relying on historical volatility to relying on combination of
historical and market-based implied volatility in accordance with guidance in SFAS No. 123(R) and SAB No. 107. The Company determined that a combination of implied volatility and historical volatility is more reflective of market
conditions and a better indicator of expected volatility than using purely historical volatility. The expected term of employee stock options represents the weighted-average period that the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. The
Company derived the expected term assumption based on the Company and its peer groups weighted average vesting period combined with the post-vesting holding period. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates
appropriate for the expected term of the Companys employee stock options. The dividend yield assumption 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 any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Prior to the Companys initial public offering, the Companys calculations were made using the minimum value option pricing model, which were
based on a single option valuation approach (resulting in equal amortization per period over the option term) and forfeitures were recognized as they occurred.

The Companys used the following weighted average assumptions to calculate the fair values of options granted during the years presented:



|                                |  |      |   |  |      |   |  |            
|------------------------------- |  | ---- | - |  | ---- | - |  | -----------
|                                |  | 2007 |   |  | 2006 |   |  | 2005       
|Volatility                      |  | 51   | % |  | 58   | % |  | 60%        
|Expected option term (in years) |  | 4.28 |   |  | 4.68 |   |  | 4.00       
|Risk free interest rate         |  | 4.45 | % |  | 4.63 | % |  | 3.65%-4.67%
|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-evaluate forfeiture rates annually and adjust them as necessary.

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 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 Old Options). The Old 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 related to the 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.

exercise and the price paid by the employee to exercise the options) during 2007 and 2006 was both $9.2 million and $9.2 million, respectively. Total fair value of options vested during 2007 and 2006 was $4.5 million and $5.6 million.

As of December 31, 2007, there was $21.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options. That cost is expected to be
recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 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) in 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 deferred stock-based compensation is reduced by forfeitures of unvested common stock options. Such net deferred stock-based
compensation was $0 million, $0.7 million and $7.7 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The compensation is being amortized to expense over the vesting period of the options, generally four years, using the straight-line award method.
Amortization of deferred stock-based compensation is presented net of forfeitures of unvested previously amortized stock-based compensation. Amortization of deferred stock-based compensation, net of forfeitures, was $1.7 million, $1.9 million and
$2.2 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, 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 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 fourth quarter of 2007, the Company issued nonstatutory options to a non-employee for the purchase of 8,000 shares of common stock at exercise
price of $12.08 per share. Such options were issued for services provided by this non-employee and were immediately vested at grant date. Accordingly, the Company recorded $42,000 in 2007 as stock-based compensation.

During 2006, the Company issued nonstatutory options to non-employees for the purchase of 10,000 shares of common stock at weighted average exercise
price of $5.71 per share. Such options were issued for services provided by non-employees and were fully vested one month later. Accordingly, the Company recorded $24,600 in 2006 as stock-based compensation.

During 2005, the Company issued nonstatutory options to non-employees for the purchase of 32,500 shares of common stock at weighted average exercise
price of $7.45 per share. Such options were issued for services provided by non-employees and were immediately vested. Accordingly, the Company recorded $243,000 in 2005 as stock-based compensation for the fair values of the awards (using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected life 10 years from date of grant; stock volatility 65-70%; risk free interest rate, 4.56% to 4.67%; and no dividends during the term).

During 2005, the Company issued 18,000 shares of common stock to a non-employee. Accordingly, the Company recorded $24,000 as stock-based compensation.

Employee Stock Purchase PlanDuring 2005, the Company initiated an Employee Stock
Purchase Plan (ESPP), which allowed certain employees with the opportunity to purchase the Companys common stock through payroll deductions. The ESPP qualifies under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the ESPP,
the purchase price of the Companys common stock is equal to 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the first day of the offering period, or the last day of the offering period. The Companys
offering period was from August 8, 2005 to December 30, 2005. As a result on December 30, 2005, the Company issued 29,119 additional shares through its ESPP. In 2007 and 2006, the Company did not issue any shares through the ESPP.

Early Exercise of OptionsThe Company received $771,000 from the early exercise of options to purchase 1,716,903 shares of
common stock in 2004. The unvested shares are subject to the Companys repurchase right at the original purchase price. The proceeds initially are recorded as an accrued liability from the early exercise of stock options in accordance with SFAS
No. 123(R) and reclassified to stockholders equity as the Companys repurchase right lapses.

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 exercise 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 2007, the Company assessed the need for a valuation allowance
against its deferred tax assets. The deferred tax asset valuation allowance was $23,000 as of December 31, 2007. The valuation allowance relates to the utilization of foreign tax credits.

At December 31, 2007, the Company has Federal and California net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $10.1 million and $2.9 million,
respectively. The federal and California loss carryforwards expire on various dates both beginning in 2012. The Companys available research and business tax credit carry forwards for federal and state income tax purposes are approximately $3.9
million and $3.8 million, respectively. The federal research credits expire on various dates beginning in 2018. California research tax credits can be carried forward indefinitely.

FIN 48

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted 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, 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 upon 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.

As a result of
the implementation of FIN 48, as of January 1, 2007, the Company recognized $550,000 of a net decrease in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits with a corresponding increase to retained earnings of $543,000 and a reduction of deferred tax
assets of $7,000. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:



|                                                  |  |   |           |

|Gross increases in tax positions for prior years  |  | $ | 1,031,000 |  
|Settlements/Closure of audits                     |  | $ | (36,000   | )
|                                                  |  |   |           |  
|Balance at December 31, 2007                      |  | $ | 5,049,000 |  
|                                                  |  |   |           |  

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Companys
effective tax rate, was $4,731,000 at December 31, 2007.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to
unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recognized approximately $62,000 and $16,000 for interest and penalties, respectively. As of December 31, 2007, total accrued
interest and penalties for unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $141,000 and $77,000, 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 2007 are subject to examination by the 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 results of the audit are included in the provision for
income taxes. The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the 2005 and 2006 tax years. As of December 31, 2007, no audit adjustments have been made. Currently, an estimate of the range of the reasonably
possible change in unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months cannot be made. The Company is no longer subject to foreign examinations by tax authorities for years before 2001.

7. COMMITMENTS

Capital Lease ObligationsAs of December 31, 2007 and 2006, 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, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $174,000 and $26,000,
respectively.

12. 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 paragraph.

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 22, 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.

Recently, Linear Technology served notice that it will be appealing portions of the Final Determination to the United States Court of
Appeals for the Federal Circuit. On February 20, 2008, Linear Technology filed a complaint with the USITC seeking an enforcement proceeding to correct alleged violations of the limited exclusion order of September 22, 2007. The Company
intends to oppose both of these actions and to appeal portions of the Final Determination that were unfavorable. The Company believes that none of its products infringe the Linear Technology patents in question. However, whether or not the Company
prevails in this appeal, the Company expects to incur significant legal expenses.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

As of December 31, 2007, the Company had $114.2 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, including approximately $7.5 million of
principal invested in auction rate securities (ARS). The ARS held by the Company are collateralized with Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) student loans. The interest rates of these ARS are reset through a dutch
auction each month. FFELP was created by the U.S. Congress in 1965 to deliver and administer guaranteed education loans for students and their parents. The loans are guaranteed by FFELP which is run by the Department of Education. Individual
loans are guaranteed between 97% and 100% by FFELP depending on when the loan was originated. The monthly auctions have historically provided a liquid market for these securities. During February 2008, the Company successfully liquidated
approximately $4.3 million of these securities. The remaining three ARS that were not liquidated had successful reset auctions in January 2008 and as such, the Company has determined that no impairment existed as of December 31, 2007. However,
the remaining three ARS the Company invested in had failed auctions in February 2008, in that there were insufficient buyers for these ARS. As a result of the failed auctions, the ARS will generally pay interest to the holder at a maximum rate
as defined by the governing documents or indenture, which resets periodically at a level higher than defined short-term interest benchmarks. The Company cannot predict whether future auctions related to its ARS will be successful. In connection with
preparing its interim

financial statements for the first quarter of 2008, the Company will address whether the failed auctions are indicative that these securities had an
impairment subsequent to December 31, 2007.

(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, 2007. 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. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2007, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

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

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with 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.

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 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 on our assessment, management has concluded that our
internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We reviewed the results of managements assessment with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. In addition, on a quarterly basis we evaluate any changes to our internal
control over financial reporting to determine if material changes occurred.

Our independent auditors have issued an audit report on our
assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. This report appears below.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Advanced Analogic
Technologies Incorporated

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, 2007, 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. 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 opinion, the Company
maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, 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 as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 of the Company and our report dated March 4, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and
included an explanatory paragraph regarding the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,and Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment.
