MEMSIC, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited, Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. NATURE OF THE BUSINESS
AND OPERATIONS

MEMSIC, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated on March 3, 1999 as a Delaware corporation. The Company is a leading
provider of semiconductor sensor systems solutions based on micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology and advanced integrated circuit design. The Company has integrated MEMS technology-based inertial sensors, commonly known as an
accelerometers, with mixed signal processing circuitry onto a single chip using a standard complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process. This proprietary technology has allowed for sensor solutions at lower cost, higher performance and
improved functionality. Utilizing a standard CMOS process allows easily integrated additional functions, the creation of new sensors to expand into magnetic, touch and flow sensors, as well as other MEMS application areas beyond accelerometers. Any
application that requires the control or measurement of motion is a potential application for accelerometers. Accelerometer products have a wide range of applications for consumer electronics, mobile phones, automotive (airbags, rollover detection,
electronic stability control and navigation systems), as well as business, industrial and medical applications.

MEMSIC, Inc. maintains its
corporate headquarters in Massachusetts. All manufacturing operations are provided by its wholly-owned subsidiary, MEMSIC Semiconductor (Wuxi) Company Limited (MEMSIC Semiconductor), located in the Peoples Republic of China (PRC).

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES

Principles of
Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MEMSIC, Inc. and MEMSIC
Semiconductor. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These financial statements and notes should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, together with the managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The accompanying
unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes have
been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, and include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments)
necessary for the fair presentation of the Companys financial position at September 30, 2008, results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 and cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007. The interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim periods or for the full year.

##### Table of Contents

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect at the date of the financial statements the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Foreign Currency

The Companys manufacturing operations and certain other operations are conducted by MEMSIC Semiconductor. The functional currency of MEMSIC
Semiconductor is the Renminbi. Financial transactions between the Company and MEMSIC Semiconductor are conducted in United States dollars. At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the underlying currency for approximately 38.0% and
19.6% of consolidated assets, respectively, was the Renminbi. The Company does not believe that it is subject to significant foreign exchange risk and, accordingly, has not utilized hedging strategies with respect to such foreign exchange exposure.

The financial statements of MEMSIC Semiconductor are translated into United States dollars in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation. The functional currency of MEMSIC Semiconductor, the Renminbi, is translated into United States dollars utilizing the
following method: assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the period, and revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted average exchange rate during the year. Cumulative translation gains and losses
are included as a separate component of stockholders equity and reported as a part of comprehensive income. Transaction gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations as incurred.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The
carrying amounts of the Companys financial instruments, which include cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to the short-term
nature of the instruments.

Net Income per Common Share

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average common
shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method.

As of December 19, 2007,
the effective date of the Companys IPO, the Company transitioned from having two classes of equity securities outstanding, common and preferred stock, to a single class of common stock. For the period prior to December 19, 2007, the
Company calculated net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share,as clarified by Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 03-6, Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method Under FASB
Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share. EITF No. 03-6 clarifies the use of the two-class method of calculating earnings per share, or EPS, as originally prescribed in SFAS No. 128. Under the two-class method, basic net
income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the more
dilutive of (a) the two-class method, or (b) the if-converted method. The Company allocates net income first to convertible preferred stockholders based on dividend participation rights under the Companys Certificate of Incorporation
and then to convertible preferred and common stockholders based on ownership interests. Net losses are not allocated to convertible preferred stockholders.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, the carryforward tax losses and available tax credits. Such assets
and liabilities are measured using tax rates and laws expected to be in effect at the time of their reversal or utilization. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce the net deferred tax asset to an amount more likely than not
to be realized. For interim reporting periods, the Company uses the estimated annual effective tax rate except with respect to discrete items, whose impact is recognized in the interim period in which the discrete item occurred.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the
lower of cost (weighted average FIFO) or market. The Company evaluates its inventory for potential excess and obsolete inventories based on forecasted demands and records a provision for such amounts as necessary. The Company recorded a provision of
$64,502 in the third quarter of 2008 and $0 in 2007.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its product to its customers when all of the following conditions have been met: (i) evidence exists
of an arrangement with the customer, typically consisting of a purchase order or contract; (ii) the Companys products have been shipped and risk of loss has passed to the customer; (iii) the Company has completed all of the necessary
terms of the purchase order or contract; (iv) the amount of revenue to which the Company is entitled is fixed or determinable; and (v) the Company believes it is probable that it will be able to collect the amount due from the customer
based upon an evaluation of the customers creditworthiness. To the extent that one or more of these conditions has not been satisfied, the Company defers recognition of revenue. An allowance for estimated future product returns and sales price
allowances is established at the date of revenue recognition. An allowance for uncollectible receivables is established by a charge to operations when, in the opinion of the Company, it is probable that the amount due to the Company will not be
collected.

The Company sells its products to distributors as well as to end customers. Sales to distributors account for a significant
amount of the Companys revenue. Sales to distributors are made pursuant to distributor agreements, which allow for the return of goods under certain circumstances. Accordingly, the Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 48, Revenue
Recognition When Right of Return Exists. SFAS No. 48 includes the following criteria for recognition of sales to distributors: (i) the selling price to the distributor is fixed or determinable at the date of shipment;
(ii) the distributors obligation to pay the selling price is not contingent on resale of the product; (iii) the Companys product has been shipped and risk of loss has passed to the distributor; (iv) it is probable that the
amount due from the distributor will be collected; (v) the Company does not have significant future obligations to directly assist in the distributors resale of the product; and (vi) the amount of future returns can be reasonably
estimated. Once these criteria are met, the Company recognizes revenue upon shipment to the distributor and estimates returns based on historical sales returns.

The Company has a significant distributor for which the criteria under SFAS No. 48 had not been met for periods prior to August 30, 2007. Based on the early stage of the relationship with this distributor
and its size, the Company was unable to make a reasonable estimate of future returns. Therefore, the Company deferred recognition of revenue and related product costs associated with sales to this distributor until the product was shipped to the
distributors end customers. Deferred revenue at June 30, 2007 amounted to $2.0 million. On August 30, 2007, the Company amended the agreement with the distributor to allow for returns only upon the Companys approval.
Accordingly, the criteria under SFAS No. 48 have been met for this distributor as of August 30, 2007, and the Company recognizes revenue upon shipment to this distributor for all shipments made on or after August 30, 2007 based on
shipments to this distributor. For all shipments through this distributor made prior to August 30, 2007, the Company continued to recognize its revenue upon shipments to the end customers. At December 31, 2007, all such shipments made to
this distributor prior to August 30, 2007 had been sold by this distributor to end customers and therefore, there was no remaining deferred revenue at that date.

During the second quarter of 2008, the Company reversed $2.0 million in revenue from the sale of printed
circuit boards that were shipped and sold in the first quarter of 2008 for use in the Olympic torch project. Problems experienced by the Companys customer, due in part to the recent earthquake in China, prevented the timely commercial
introduction of the Olympic torch, and the customer invoked a clause in its contract with MEMSIC that permitted the customer to suspend the project in the event of a natural disaster such as an earthquake. As a result, the Company reversed the
previously recognized revenue and the related account receivable in the second quarter.

Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)), which replaces SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123), and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based
payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values beginning with the first annual period after December 15, 2005. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that an
entity measure the cost of equity-based service awards based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognize the cost of such award over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (vesting
period). The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS No. 123 are no longer an alternative to financial statement recognition. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006 using the prospective transition
method, which required that all new stock-based awards granted subsequent to adoption be recognized in the financial statements at fair value.

Stock-based compensation arrangements with non-employees are accounted for utilizing the fair value method or, if a more reliable measurement, the value of the services or consideration received. The resulting compensation expense is
recognized for financial reporting over the term of performance or vesting.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R, Business Combinations(SFAS 141R). This statement is to improve the relevance, representational
faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. This statement is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition
date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.

In February 2007, the
FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial LiabilitiesIncluding an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115(SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure financial instruments
and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. This statement is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 159 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The adoption of the provisions of SFAS 159 did not have any impact on the Companys financial position and results
of operations.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible
Assets, which amends the factors that must be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life over which to amortize the cost of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142. The FSP is
effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this FSP will have on its consolidated financial statements.

3. INVESTMENTS

Investments held by the Company at September 30, 2008 consisted primarily of auction rate securities, or ARS, and are considered available for sale. These securities reset the interest or dividend rates by
auctions held at intervals of 7, 28, 35 or 49 days, and at such dates the Company has the option to sell such securities. The auction rate securities held by the Company have credit quality ratings of at least AAA/Aaa and contractual maturities of
greater than 10 years.

These investments are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, if any, net of tax, reported in
other comprehensive income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on securities classified as short-term investments are included in interest and dividend income. Quarterly, management
reviews the valuation of short-term investments and considers whether any decline in value is deemed to be other than a temporary decline.

At September 30, 2008, the Company held two ARS investments: Illinois Edl Facs Auth Revs Savrs-III College Of Optometry for $3.0 million and Montana St. Hlth Fac Auth Hosp Rev Savrs Deacon for $2.8 million. The Company has classified
all of the $5.8 million as long-term assets due to liquidity issues that have recently been experienced in global credit and capital markets as well as failed auctions during 2008. A failed auction means that the amount of securities submitted for
sale at auction exceeded the amount of purchase orders. If an auction fails, the issuer becomes obligated to pay interest at penalty rates, and all of the auction rate securities the Company holds continue to pay interest in accordance with their
stated terms. However, the failed auctions create uncertainty as to the liquidity of these securities.

Based on the Companys
expected operating cash flows, and other sources of cash, the Company does not expect the potential lack of liquidity in these investments to affect its ability to execute its current business plan in the near term.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company adopted
the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157) relating to assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis on January 1, 2008. The adoption
of these provisions did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 157 clarifies that fair
value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. As such, fair
value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. SFAS 157 requires the Company to use valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the
use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized as follows:



| | Level 1: | Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets
| | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | Level 2: | Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or market-corroborated inputs
| | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | Level 3: | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which require the Company to develop its own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets or
liabilities
| | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company accounts for the ARS held in its portfolio as available-for-sale investments. The
carrying value of these ARS approximated fair value due to the frequent resetting of the interest rate. While the Company continues to earn interest on those investments involved in failed auctions at the specified contractual rate, due to the
failed auctions and the illiquidity of these securities under current market conditions, the Company has considered whether par value continues to be a reasonable basis for estimating the fair value of these ARS at September 30, 2008.

The Company therefore estimated the fair value of these securities at September 30, 2008 using broker valuations and
internally-developed models of the expected future cash flows related to the securities. One of the more significant assumptions made in the Companys internally-developed models was the term of expected cash flows of the underlying auction
rate securities. The Company developed several scenarios for the liquidation of the auction rate securities over periods that ranged from 3 to 15 months. Based on the Companys internal modeling and the value provided by the broker, the Company
concluded that the fair value of the auction rate securities approximated the par value as of September 30, 2008.

The Company has
also concluded that no other-than-temporary impairment losses on the Companys auction rate securities occurred in the three months ended September 30, 2008. In making this determination, the Company considered the financial condition and
near-term prospect of the issuers, the magnitude of the losses compared to the investments cost, the length of time the investments have been in an unrealized loss position, the low probability that the Company will be unable to collect all
amounts due according to the contractual terms of the security, whether the security has been downgraded by a rating agency, and the Companys ability and intent to hold these investments until the anticipated recovery in market value occurs.

The Company continues to monitor the market for auction rate securities and consider its impact, if any,
on the fair value of the Companys investments. If current market conditions deteriorate further, the Company may be required to record additional temporary unrealized losses in other comprehensive income or, if the decline in fair value is
judged to be other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the individual security may be written off to fair value as a new cost basis and the amount of the write-down would be reflected as a charge to earnings.

5. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Description of Plan

On March 29, 2000, the Companys stockholders and board of
directors approved the 2000 Omnibus Stock Plan (the 2000 Plan), as amended, under which 2,969,000 shares of the Companys common stock were reserved for issuance to directors, officers, employees, and consultants. Options granted
under the 2000 Plan may be incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options and/or restricted stock. The 2000 Plan provides that the exercise price of incentive stock options must be at least equal to the market value of the Companys common
stock at the date such option is granted. For incentive stock option grants to an employee who owns more than 10% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, the exercise price on the incentive stock option must be 110% of market value
at the time of grant. Granted options expire in ten years or less from the date of grant and vest based on the terms of the awards, generally ratably over four years.

On August 22, 2007, the Companys board of directors approved the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2007 Plan), under which up to 3,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock may become
available for issuance. At the adoption date, 1,526,425 shares were reserved for issuance. The reserved amount will increase by 300,000 shares at each of the five anniversaries of the adoption date, for a maximum of 3,000,000 shares issuable under
the 2007 Plan. Prior to December 19, 2007, there was no public market for the Companys common stock. Accordingly, the board of directors determined the market value of the common stock at the date of grant by considering a number of
relevant factors, including the Companys operating and financial performance and corporate milestones achieved, the prices at which shares of convertible preferred stock in arms-length transactions were sold, the composition of and
changes to the management team, the superior rights and preferences of securities senior to the common stock at the time of each grant and the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event for the shares of common stock underlying stock options.

Valuation of Stock Options

The
Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of an option award. The weighted-average fair values per share of the options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 were
$1.45 and $2.07 respectively, while the weighted-average fair values per share of the options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $4.42 and $4.08 respectively, utilizing the following assumptions:

As there was no public market for the Companys common stock prior to the Companys IPO in
December 2007, and limited historical information on the volatility of its common stock since the date of the Companys IPO, the Company determined the volatility for options granted in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008
and 2007 based on an analysis of reported data for a peer group of companies that issued options with substantially similar terms. The expected volatility of options granted has been determined using an average of the historical volatility measures
of this peer group of companies for a period equal to the expected life of the option. The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its shares of common stock; therefore, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be
zero. The expected life of options has been determined utilizing the simplified method as prescribed by the SECs Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment. The risk-free interest rate is based on a
zero coupon United States treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options. In addition, SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to utilize an estimated forfeiture rate when calculating the expense for the
period, whereas SFAS No. 123 permitted companies to record forfeitures based on actual forfeitures, which was the Companys historical policy under SFAS No. 123. As a result, the Company applied an estimated forfeiture rate,
based on its historical forfeiture experience, in determining the expense recorded in the Companys consolidated statement of operations.

The stock option activity under the 2000 and 2007 Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 is as follows:

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 the Company recorded expense of
$320,900 and $964,070, respectively, in connection with share-based awards, while share-based awards of $275,671 and $406,209 respectively were recorded by the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. At
September 30, 2008, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense expected to be charged to operations over the next four years is estimated to approximate $4,613,000.

The intrinsic values (aggregate market value of the underlying common stock minus aggregate exercise price) of stock options exercised during the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $473 and $183,215, respectively. The total fair value of options vested during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was approximately $512,735 and $687,488, respectively.

7. COMMON STOCK

On November 9, 2007, the Companys board of directors approved a 1-for-2 reverse stock split of the Companys outstanding common stock. The reverse stock split became effective on November 20, 2007
and all common shares and per share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to the reverse stock
split.

In December 2007, the Company completed its initial public offering (IPO) of 6,000,000 shares of its common stock at a price to the
public of $10.00 per share. The Company raised a total of $52.6 million in net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses. Upon the closing of the offering, all shares of the Companys redeemable convertible preferred
stock automatically converted into 14,060,818 shares of common stock. In January 2008, the underwriters of the Companys initial public offering exercised their over-allotment option to purchase 823,000 shares. The Company received net proceeds
of $7.6 million from this exercise, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses.

The holders of the Companys common
stock are entitled to one vote for each share held. At September 30, 2008, the outstanding shares of the Companys common stock are 23,790,100 shares. The Company has reserved 3,088,630 shares for the issuance of stock options outstanding

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our
results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements include any expectation of earnings, revenues, billings or other financial items;
any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; factors that may affect our operating results; statements concerning new products or services; statements related to future capital expenditures; statements
related to future economic conditions or performance; statements as to industry trends and other matters that do not relate strictly to historical facts or statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. These statements are often
identified by the use of words such as, but not limited to, anticipate, believe, continue, could, estimate, expect, intend, may, will,
plan, target, continue, and similar expressions or variations intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management based on information
currently available to management. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, and those discussed in the section titled Risk Factors included elsewhere in
this Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the SEC. Furthermore, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after
the date of such statements.

OVERVIEW

We provide advanced semiconductor sensor and system solutions based on integrated MEMS technology and mixed signal circuit design. Our accelerometer products are used to measure tilt, shock, vibration and acceleration, and have a wide range
of applications such as mobile phones, automotive safety systems and video projectors. We combine proprietary thermal-based MEMS technology and advanced analog mixed signal processing circuitry design into a single chip using a standard CMOS
process. In many instances, this approach allows us to provide sensor solutions at a lower cost, with higher performance and greater functionality than our competitors. In addition, our technology platform allows us to easily integrate additional
functions or create new sensors to expand into magnetic, touch and flow sensors and related applications.

We have experienced significant
growth since our products were first commercialized in 2001. We shipped more than 41 million units of accelerometers from 2004 through September 30, 2008. In 2007, 2006, and 2005, our net sales totaled $25.3 million, $13.1 million and $9.1
million, respectively. The increases in our unit sales volume and sales revenue have primarily been attributable to increases in the sale of our products for mobile phone applications and automotive applications. More recently, however, our net
sales have been adversely affected on a number of factors including a slowdown in the China mobile handset market and the recent earthquake in China, as well as global economic conditions. Our net sales for the nine months ended September 30,
2008 were $14.9 million. We expect sales of our accelerometer products to continue to represent a predominant share of our revenue for the foreseeable future. We expect to begin commercial sales of our first non-accelerometer products, including
magnetic sensors, in 2008.

We sell our products either to distributors, which then resell to OEMs and ODMs, or to OEM and ODM customers
directly. Historically, a small number of our customers have accounted for a substantial portion of our revenue, and sales to our largest distributor customers and OEM and ODM customers have varied significantly. This significant variation is in
part due to the fact that our sales are made on the basis of purchase orders rather than long-term contracts. Although our distributors generally provide us with non-binding rolling forecasts, our distributors generally have up to 30 days prior to
delivery to cancel or reschedule shipments pursuant to our distribution agreements. This arrangement has added to the fluctuation and unpredictability of our sales. Because our products are a component of our customers products, our sales
performance is significantly affected by the sales performance of our customers products. It is difficult for us to accurately forecast our product demand because in the case where we sell our products to distributors, we may not know the
identity of the distributors OEM and ODM customers and information regarding their demand.

OEM and ODM customers products are complex and require significant time to define, design and ramp
to volume production. Our sales cycle begins with our marketing and sales staff and application engineers engaging with our OEM and ODM customers system designers and management, which is typically a multi-month, or even multi-year, process.
If such process is successful, an OEM and ODM customer will decide to incorporate our solution in its product, which we refer to as a design-win. Because the sales cycles for our products are long, we incur expenses to develop and sell our products,
regardless of whether we achieve the design-win and well in advance of generating revenue, if any, from those expenditures. Although we do not have long-term purchase commitments from any of our distributor customers or OEM and ODM customers, once
one of our products is incorporated into an OEMs or ODMs design, it is likely to remain a part of the design for the life cycle of its product. We believe this to be the case because a redesign would generally be time consuming and
expensive. We have experienced revenue growth due to an increase in the number of our products offered, an expansion of our customer base, an increase in the number of design-wins within any one OEM and ODM customer and an increase in the average
revenue per design-win.

We manufacture our products utilizing a semi-fabless model by outsourcing the production of CMOS
wafers and completing the post-CMOS MEMS process in-house. By outsourcing the standard CMOS manufacturing process, we are able to more efficiently manage our capital expenditures and cost of goods sold.

Description of Certain Line Items

Net Sales

Net sales represent gross revenue net of an allowance for the estimated amount of product returns and sales rebates from our
customers. Sales to distributors are made pursuant to distributor agreements, which allow for the return of goods under certain circumstances. We recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 and Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 48, or SFAS 48. While we sell our products to distributors as well as end customers, sales to distributors account for a significant amount of the total revenue. Prior to August 30, 2007, we deferred recognition of
sales to a major distributor, World Peace Industrial Co., Ltd., or WPI, which did not meet the criteria of SFAS 48, until the product was sold through to WPIs OEM and ODM customers. WPI accounted for 55.3 % of our revenue in 2007 and
34.6% of our revenue in 2006. On August 30, 2007, we amended the distributor agreement with WPI to allow returns only upon our approval. Accordingly, the criteria under SFAS 48 have been met for this distributor as of August 30, 2007, and
we have recognized revenue upon shipment to WPI for all shipments subsequent to this date. For all shipments to WPI made prior to August 30, 2007, we continued to recognize our revenue upon shipments to its OEM and ODM customers.

Historically, our revenue has been derived primarily from shipments of our accelerometer products. The primary factors that affect our revenue are the
sales volumes and average selling prices of our products. The significant increases in our net sales have been primarily attributable to the increases in the unit volumes of our products, particularly those for mobile phone and automotive
applications. The average selling prices of our products generally decline over time and are primarily affected by a combination of the following factors:



| |  |  | the semiconductor market is highly competitive, and as a result, the average selling prices of particular products generally experience rapid declines over the
course of their respective product and technology life cycles. This trend has been particularly evident recently in the market for mobile phone applications. We seek to mitigate the impact of this trend on our business by continuing to rapidly
design, develop and sell new generations of products with additional functionalities to replace older generation products;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we may also reduce our product prices as we are able to increase our production yields or to reduce our manufacturing costs, particularly the wafer prices;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in our product mix may affect the average selling prices of our products. Historically, for example, our revenue derived from consumer and mobile phone
markets, as a percentage of our total revenue, has increased. Our products for these markets generally have lower average selling prices than products for the automotive market. The average selling prices of products may continue to be affected by
our strategy to increase market adoption of our products in certain markets; and

During the second quarter of 2008, we reversed $2.0 million in revenue from the sale of printed circuit boards that were shipped and sold in the first
quarter of 2008 for use in the Olympic torch project. Problems experienced by our customer, due in part to the recent earthquake in China, prevented the timely commercial introduction of the Olympic torch, and the customer invoked a clause in its
contract with us that permitted the customer to suspend the project in the event of a natural disaster such as an earthquake. As a result, we reversed the previously recognized revenue and the related account receivable in the second quarter.

Net Sales by Application

Net
sales from mobile phone applications, as a percentage of total net sales, have increased in recent years, but we expect sales in this market to stay flat or slightly decrease for the remainder of 2008 due to the slowdown of the China mobile phone
market. We are taking initiatives to diversify our revenue sources and reduce our exposure to cyclicality in the cellular handset market. Net sales from automotive applications, in absolute terms, have increased, primarily attributable to increases
in sales of rollover application products to Autoliv Inc., although this trend did not continue in the third quarter of 2008. To increase net sales from the automotive market, we are currently seeking to increase sales from other automotive
applications and to expand our customer base. However, revenue increases, if any, from the automotive market will require significant time, as the development lead time in this market is generally longer than other markets. Net sales from consumer
applications have fluctuated historically as a result of the generally short life cycle of consumer electronics and changes in our customer base. As our product offering and customer base for consumer applications continue to diversify, we expect
the net sales from consumer applications to fluctuate less. Revenue from industrial and medical markets historically have been limited, and while we do not expect revenue from these markets to contribute significantly to our total revenue in the
near term, we expect revenue from these markets to increase in the longer term, as we increase our penetration of these markets and introduce new products designed for industrial applications.

The following table sets forth our net sales by application for the periods indicated by amount and as a percentage of our net sales (dollar amounts in
thousands).

Net Sales by Customer Base

Our customers primarily consist of distributors, OEMs and ODMs. Historically, a small number of our customers have accounted for a substantial portion of
our net sales. We expect that significant customer concentration will continue for the foreseeable future. Our customers representing 10% or more of our net sales accounted for approximately 71.6%, 65.6% and 60.3%, respectively, of our net sales in
2007, 2006 and 2005.

We have experienced and will continue to experience fluctuations in demand from a significant number of customers,
including many of our largest customers. It is difficult for us to accurately forecast our product demand, particularly in the case of sales to our distributors, as we may not know the identity of the distributors OEM and ODM customers and
lack information regarding their demand, and recent adverse macro-economic changes have increased the difficulty of accurately forecasting product demand and revenue.

Occasionally, design changes in the products of our OEM and ODM customers have resulted in the loss of sales. For example, a design change in a product of a large OEM customer in 2005 for consumer applications
resulted in the loss of our sales to such customer in 2006. That customer accounted for 30.0% of our net sales in 2005.

Net Sales by Geography

Our products are shipped to OEM and ODM customers worldwide. However, we focus on different application markets within geographical regions. In the greater China region, our revenue has historically been primarily
derived from products for mobile phone applications. We are also seeking to expand the consumer application market in the greater China region. In Japan, our revenue has primarily been derived from products for consumer applications, particularly
projectors. We are also seeking to penetrate the automotive market in Japan. In North America, our revenue has primarily been derived from products for automotive applications. In Europe, our revenue has fluctuated as a result of the gain and
subsequent loss of a significant customer for global positioning system, or GPS, applications. We also derive significant revenue from products for automotive applications in Europe.

The following table sets forth our net sales by geographical region for the periods indicated by amount and as a percentage of our net sales (dollar
amounts in thousands).

Cost of Goods Sold

We are a semi-fabless company. We outsource wafer production to third-party foundries and complete the post-CMOS MEMS and most of the packaging, assembly and testing functions in-house. We also purchase our ceramic
packaging materials from third-party suppliers. Cost of goods sold consists of: (i) cost of wafer, ceramic and other materials purchased from third parties; (ii) manufacturing overhead, primarily consisting of salaries and wages of our
quality control employees and manufacturing-related management employees, depreciation, and equipment and parts; (iii) direct labor, primarily consisting of salaries and wages of our manufacturing operators; and (iv) outsourced processing
fees paid to our third-party packaging service providers.

Our relationships with third-party foundry and packaging service providers do
not provide for guaranteed levels of production capacity at pre-determined prices. As a result, our outsourcing costs relating to wafer production, and to a lesser extent, packaging services, are susceptible to changes based on conditions in the
global semiconductor market and our service providers available capacity.

Prior to August 30, 2007 we deferred recognition of
cost of goods sold for a major distributor, WPI, which did not meet the criteria of SFAS 48, until the product was sold through to WPIs OEM and ODM customers. WPI accounted for 34.6% of our revenue in 2006 and 55.3% of our revenue in 2007. On
August 30, 2007, we amended the distributor agreement with WPI to allow for returns only upon our approval. Accordingly, the criteria under SFAS No. 48 have been met for this distributor as of August 30, 2007, and subsequent to that
date we have recognized the cost of goods sold as the related products are sold. For all shipments to WPI made prior to August 30, 2007, we continued to recognize costs related to products once sold by WPI to its OEM and ODM customers.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Historically, our gross profit has generally experienced growth in line with increases in our revenue, and until recently our gross margin has remained relatively stable, at 65.1%, 67.0%, and 68.1%, respectively, in 2007, 2006 and 2005.
However, our gross profit and gross margin may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, including average selling prices of our products, our product application mix, prices of wafers, excess and obsolete inventory,
pricing by competitors, changes in production yields, and percentage of sales conducted through distributors. Our products for mobile phone applications, which are sold to distributor customers, have historically had lower margins than our products
for automotive products, which are sold directly to our OEM and ODM customers, and these margins have continued to decline due to competitive price pressure in this market.

##### Table of Contents

The increase in the percentage of our net sales in products for mobile phone applications in recent years has therefore had an adverse effect on our overall
gross margin. The slowdown of the China mobile phone market in 2008 has caused severe pricing competition, which has also caused our gross margin to decline. Our gross margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was 51.3% and
48.7%, respectively.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses are recognized as they are incurred and primarily consist of salaries and wages of research and development employees; research costs, primarily consisting of mask costs and prototype
wafers, consulting fees paid for outside design services; travel and other expenses; and stock-based compensation under SFAS 123(R) attributable to our research and development employees.

Historically, research and development expenses have increased both in absolute terms and as a percentage of total net sales. We expect this trend to
continue for the foreseeable future as we seek to diversify into non-accelerometer products and hire additional employees in connection with the new research and development institute that we established in the second quarter of 2007.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and
marketing expenses primarily consist of wages, salaries and commissions for our sales and marketing personnel; consulting expenses, primarily consisting of sales consulting services and software application consulting services; travel expenses;
independent sales representatives commissions; office rental; market promotion and other expenses; and stock-based compensation under SFAS 123(R). We expect sales and marketing expenses to continue to increase as we hire additional sales and
marketing personnel, expand our sales and marketing network and engage in additional marketing and promotional activities.

General and
Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries and wages for administrative personnel;
costs for professional services, including legal, tax and accounting services; depreciation and amortization expenses for non-manufacturing equipment; travel expenses; office supply and other office-related expenses; office rental expenses; other
expenses, such as utilities, insurance and provision for accounts receivable; and stock-based compensation under SFAS 123(R). We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase as we hire additional personnel and incur costs
related to the anticipated growth of our business and our operations as a public company.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense), primarily consists of interest income earned on our investments of cash and cash equivalents, and interest expense incurred
on our borrowings and net foreign currency exchange gains and losses.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

We conduct sales through our headquarters in Andover, Massachusetts. Our Wuxi subsidiary, MEMSIC Semiconductor, is primarily engaged in manufacturing and
engineering activities and generally does not conduct direct sales to customers. For internal accounting and PRC tax purposes, we account for the transfers of goods from our Wuxi subsidiary, MEMSIC Semiconductor, to our U.S. headquarters as sales,
and calculate the transfer price of such sales based on a markup of manufacturing and operating costs. We believe the prices of these sales were consistent with the prevailing market prices.

U.S. Tax

In the United States, we
are subject to the federal income tax and the Massachusetts state income tax, which are approximately at the rates of 34% and 9.5%, respectively. We utilized federal net operating losses (NOLs) of $1.9 million and state NOLs of $1.7
million in 2007. As of December 31, 2007, we had NOLs of approximately $15,000, which will expire in 2023, and no state NOL carryforwards. We may be subject to Section 382 of the United States Internal Revenue Code which imposes certain
limitations on net operating losses that we could utilize in the event of an ownership change of our company. However, we do not believe the impact of any such limitations would have a material impact on our ability to utilize our remaining federal
NOL carryforward.

Our policy is to reinvest any earnings of MEMSIC Semiconductor in our Chinese operations. We have not
provided for the U.S. income taxes that could result from the distribution of such earnings to the U.S. parent. If these earnings were ultimately distributed to the U.S. in the form of dividends or otherwise, or if the shares of MEMSIC Semiconductor
were sold or transferred, we would be subject to additional U.S. income taxes on these undistributed earnings.

PRC Tax

Our PRC taxes primarily consist of enterprise income tax, value-added tax, and certain other miscellaneous taxes. As of December 31, 2007, our
Wuxi subsidiary, MEMSIC Semiconductor, had no PRC NOL carryforwards available to offset future PRC enterprise income tax and entered into the first year of the two year tax exemption period.

Enterprise Income Tax

PRC enterprise
income tax is calculated based on taxable income determined under PRC accounting principles. Prior to January 1, 2008, according to the applicable PRC tax laws, foreign investment enterprises, or FIEs, incorporated in the PRC were generally
subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 33%. A high-technology FIE registered and operating in a designated high-technology zone would be entitled to a preferential enterprise income tax rate of 15%, whereas a manufacturing FIE that was
scheduled to operate for no less than 10 years was eligible for an exemption from state income taxes for two years starting from its first profit-making year, followed by a 50% reduction in the succeeding three years. The qualification of a
high-technology FIE was subject to a biennial evaluation by the relevant government authority in China.

Our Wuxi subsidiary,
MEMSIC Semiconductor, as a high-technology FIE registered and operating in a designated high-technology zone and a manufacturing FIE that is scheduled to operate for no less than 10 years, was entitled to a preferential enterprise income tax rate of
15% as well as a five-year tax holiday, pursuant to which it was exempted from paying the enterprise income tax for 2007, the year in which it first had positive accumulated earnings, and 2008, followed by a 50% reduction from 2009 to 2011.

On March 16, 2007, the National Peoples Congress approved and promulgated a new tax law named Enterprise Income Tax
Law, which took effect beginning January 1, 2008. Under the new tax law, FIEs and domestic companies are subject to a uniform tax rate of 25%. The new tax law provides a five-year transition period starting from its effective date for
those enterprises which were established before the promulgation date of the new tax law and which were entitled to a preferential lower tax rate under the then effective tax laws or regulations. In accordance with regulations issued by the State
Council, the tax rate of such enterprises may gradually transition to the uniform tax rate within the transition period. For those enterprises which are enjoying tax holidays, such tax holidays may continue until their expiration in accordance with
the regulations issued by the State Council, but where the tax holiday has not yet started because of losses, such tax holiday shall be deemed to commence from the first effective year of the new tax law. While the new tax law equalizes the tax
rates for FIEs and domestic companies, preferential tax treatment would continue to be given to companies in certain encouraged sectors and to entities classified as high-technology companies especially supported by the PRC government,
whether FIEs or domestic companies. As a result of the new tax law, following the year 2011, upon expiration of our 50% reduction from the then applicable income tax rate, our effective tax rate may increase, unless we are otherwise eligible for
preferential treatment.

The new tax law and its implementing rules provide that dividends paid by a PRC entity to a non-resident
enterprise for tax purposes is subject to PRC withholding tax at a rate of 10% subject to reduction by an applicable tax treaty with the PRC. We expect that a 10% withholding tax will apply to dividends paid to us by our Wuxi subsidiary, but this
treatment will depend on our status as a non-resident enterprise of China. For detailed discussion of PRC tax issues related to resident enterprise status, see Risk Factors - Risks Related to Doing Business in China - We may be treated as a
resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes under the Enterprise Income Tax Law effective as of January 1, 2008, which may subject us to PRC income tax for any dividends we pay to our non-PRC stockholders in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2007. Based on the existing local tax regulations, our Wuxi subsidiary, which is in the 2-year tax holiday will not be allowed to distribute any dividends until it starts to pay the income taxes to the local tax
authorities. In addition, MEMSIC Semiconductor has reinvested 100% of its net income in manufacturing expansion and new product development and has no plan to distribute dividends to its parent company.

Other PRC Taxes

Other miscellaneous PRC taxes primarily consist of property tax, land-use tax and stamp tax which are accounted for in our general and administrative expenses, and education surcharge, which is recorded as part of our
cost of goods sold.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related notes requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses, and
related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We have based our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe 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.

An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly
uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the consolidated financial
statements. For a discussion of the critical accounting policies that we consider to be the most sensitive and that require the most significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, see our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2008, under the heading Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of OperationsCritical Accounting Policies.

Quarter Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to Quarter Ended September 30, 2007

Net sales. Our net sales decreased by 46.2% to $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from $9.3
million in the corresponding period of 2007. This decrease was due primarily to the decrease in mobile phone sales. Sales in mobile phone applications accounted for $2.0 million in net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2008,
compared to $6.1 million in the corresponding period for 2007. The decrease in sales to mobile phone applications reflected reduced demand for products in the mobile handset market in China and increased pricing pressure. Sales in automotive
applications experienced a slight decrease, accounting for $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $1.4 million in the corresponding period in 2007. Sales to Autoliv, a significant customer, amounted to $1.0
million, or 19.8% of our net sales for the third quarter of 2008, compared to $1.5 million, or 16.8% of our net sales in the corresponding period of 2007.

Cost of goods sold.Our cost of goods sold decreased by 25.5% to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from $3.3 million for the corresponding period
in 2007. This decrease was due to the decrease in the volume of units sold.

Gross profit and gross margin.Our
gross profit decreased by 57.5% to $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from $6.0 million in the corresponding period of 2007. Our gross margin decreased to 51.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from
64.8% in 2007. This decrease was attributable to a continued decline in the average selling prices of our products in the mobile phone market as well as an increase in the manufacturing overhead cost per unit as a result of the reduced production
volume.

Research and development. Our research and development decreased by 11.1% to $0.9
million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from $1.0 million in the corresponding period of 2007. This decrease was primarily due to less consulting cost in this period as compared to the corresponding period of 2007. Research
and development expenses, as a percentage of total net sales, increased to 17.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from 10.4% for the corresponding period of 2007. This increase was due to the decline in revenue.

Sales and marketing. Our sales and marketing expenses decreased by 8.4% to $772,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008
from $843,000 for the corresponding period of 2007. The decrease was primarily due to lower commission and bonus expenses as a result of reduced revenue. Sales and marketing expenses, as a percentage of total net sales, increased to 15.4% for the
three months ended September 30, 2008 from 9.0% for the corresponding period of 2007. This increase was due to the decline in revenue.

General and administrative. Our general and administrative expenses increased by 55.9 % to $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from $1.1 million in the corresponding period of 2007.
This increase was primarily due to (i) an increase of $0.2 million in wages and salaries as a result of an increase in the number of administrative employees in response to the overall anticipated expansion of our business, (ii) an
increase of $0.3 million in professional fees as a result of our becoming a public company and (iii) an increase of $0.1 million in stock-based compensation expense. General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total net sales,
increased to 33.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from 11.7% for the corresponding period in 2007.

Other
income. Our other income was $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $0.2 million in the corresponding period of 2007. The increase was primarily due to an increase in interest and dividend
income from IPO proceeds.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes.Our income tax benefit was
$165,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to an income tax provision of $528,000 in the corresponding period of 2007. Our tax benefit for the third quarter of 2008 reflected principally a tax benefit of $99,000 due to
losses generated in the U.S. and a deferred tax benefit of $66,000 recorded by our Wuxi subsidiary. Our Wuxi subsidiary, which generated a substantial amount of our pretax income, currently was not taxed in China due to its tax holiday. Our Wuxi
subsidiarys tax holiday is expected to end in 2009.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30,
2007

Net Sales. Our net sales decreased by 20.7% to $14.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 from $18.8 million in the corresponding period of 2007. The majority of the decrease was from our decline in mobile phone application sales. Sales in mobile phone applications accounted for $5.1 million in net sales in for
the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $10.4 million in the corresponding period for 2007. Sales in consumer applications increased to $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $3.3 million in
the corresponding period of 2007. Sales in automotive applications accounted for $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $3.7 million in the corresponding period in 2007. Sales to Autoliv, a significant customer,
amounted to $3.2 million, or 21.3% of our net sales for the first nine months of 2008, compared to $3.2 million, or 16.8% of our net sales in the corresponding period of 2007.

Cost of goods sold.Our cost of goods sold increased by 18.4% to $7.6 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $6.4 million for the corresponding period in 2007. The increase was primarily due to the cost related to the Olympic torch project and the increase of fixed manufacturing per unit cost as a result of
lower production volume in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the corresponding period of 2007.

Gross profit and gross
margin.Our gross profit decreased by 41.2% to $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $12.3 million in the corresponding period of 2007. Our gross margin decreased to 48.7% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 from 65.6% in 2007 primarily due to continued decline in the average selling prices of our products in the mobile phone market as well as an increase in the manufacturing overhead cost per unit as a result of the reduced
production volume.

Research and development. Our research and development expenses increased by 8.6% to $2.6 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $2.4 million in the corresponding period of 2007. This increase was primarily due to an increase in wages and salaries as a result of an increase in our head count for engineers and other
research and development employees in both China and the U.S. Research and development expenses, as a percentage of total net sales, increased to 17.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from 12.8% for the corresponding period of
2007.

Sales and marketing. Our sales and marketing expenses increased by 4.8% to $2.2
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $2.1 million for the corresponding period of 2007. The increase was primarily due to an increase in wages and salaries due to an increase in the number of sales and marketing
employees.Sales and marketing expenses, as a percentage of total net sales, increased to 14.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from 11.2% for the corresponding period of 2007.

General and administrative. Our general and administrative expenses increased by 69.1% to $4.5 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 from $2.6 million in the corresponding period of 2007. This increase was primarily due to (i) an increase of $0.3 million in wages and salaries as a result of an increase in the number of administrative employees in

Other income. Our other income was $2.1
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $0.5 million in the corresponding period of 2007. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $1.3 million in interest and dividend income from IPO proceeds and a collection
of $0.1 million as a result of a contract settlement which was written in 2005.

Provision (benefit) for income
taxes.Our income tax benefit was $190,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to an income tax provision of $958,000 in the corresponding period of 2007. Our tax benefit for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 reflected a tax benefit of $99,000 due to a loss generated in the U.S. and the recognition of certain deferred tax assets in China. Our Wuxi subsidiary, which generated a substantial amount of our pretax income, currently is
not taxed in China due to its tax holiday.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Until our recent initial public offering, proceeds from private sales of our equity interests to investors have been critical to funding our operations
and meeting our capital expenditure requirements. As a result of our initial public offering in December 2007 and the exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in January 2008, we received net offering proceeds, after deducting
underwriting discounts and offering expenses, of approximately $60.2 million.

We have invested our net proceeds from the offering in money
market funds and auction rate securities. As of September 30, 2008, our investments included $5.8 million of auction rate securities. Auction rate securities are generally long-term fixed income instruments that provide liquidity through a
Dutch auction process that resets the applicable interest rate at pre-determined calendar intervals, typically every 7, 28, 35 or 49 days. These investments have high credit quality ratings of at least AAA/Aaa. Due to liquidity issues
that have recently been experienced in global credit and capital markets, certain of the auction rate securities we hold have failed at auction, meaning that the amount of securities submitted for sale at auction exceeded the amount of purchase
orders. If an auction fails, the issuer becomes obligated to pay interest at penalty rates, and all of the auction rate securities we hold continue to pay interest in accordance with their stated terms. However, the failed auctions create
uncertainty as to the liquidity in the near term of these securities. As a result, we have classified the $5.8 million of auction rate securities we held at September 30, 2008 as long-term investments.

As of September 30, 2008, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $64.2 million. Based
on our expected operating cash flows, and our other sources of cash, we do not expect the potential lack of liquidity in our auction rate securities classified as long-term investments to affect our ability to execute our current business plan in
the near term. However, the principal represented by these investments will not be accessible to us until one of the following occurs: a successful auction occurs, the issuer redeems the issue, a buyer is found outside of the auction process or the
underlying securities have matured. There

can be no assurance that we would be able in the near term to liquidate these securities on favorable terms, or at all, and if we should require access to
these funds sooner than we currently expect, our inability to sell these auction rate securities could adversely affect our liquidity and our financial flexibility.

Our principal uses of cash historically have consisted of both payments to our suppliers for the costs related to the outsourcing of wafer fabrication and outsourced processing fees paid to and materials purchased
from third parties, as well as payments for our manufacturing overhead and equipment purchases. Construction of our new Wuxi facility began in the fourth quarter of 2007 and is expected to be completed in two phases. Phase one of our new facility is
expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2009 and will house our new research and development institute and operations and management offices. The total cost of phase one is estimated to be $6.0 million. Phase two of our new facility is
expected to be completed within three years in a number of phases. Upon completion of phase two, we expect to have in place manufacturing capacity to meet our future production requirements for both accelerometer products and non-accelerometer
products. Total costs of phase two, including construction and machinery, are estimated to be $30 million. We intend to finance substantially all of our new facility with a portion of the net proceeds of our recent initial public offering. Other
significant cash outlays primarily consist of salaries, wages and commissions for our non-manufacturing related employees.

We believe that
our current cash and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs, including working capital requirements and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. Our future cash requirements will depend on
many factors, including our operating income, the timing of our new product introductions, the costs to maintaining adequate manufacturing capacity, the continuing market acceptance of our products, payment terms for major contracts and customers,
or other changing business conditions and future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our existing cash is insufficient to meet our requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity securities, debt
securities or borrow from banks. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in the amounts we need or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The sale of additional equity securities, including convertible debt securities, would be dilutive
to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would divert cash for working capital requirements and capital expenditures to service debt and could result in operating and financial covenants that restrict our operations and our ability to pay
dividends to our stockholders. If we are unable to obtain additional equity or debt financing, our business, operations and prospects may suffer.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was
$0.9 million, which was derived from a net income of $0.2 million adjusted to reflect a net increase relating to non-cash items and a net decrease relating to changes in balances of operating assets and liabilities. The adjustments relating to
non-cash items, which resulted in a net increase in cash of $2.0 million, were primarily due to depreciation and amortization expense of $1.2 million, stock-based compensation expense of $1.0 million, excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation
of $96,000 and deferred income tax of $80,000. The adjustments related to changes in balances of operating assets and liabilities, which resulted in a net decrease in cash of $1.3 million, were primarily attributable to a $2.1 million reduction in
accounts payable and accrued expenses, and initial public offering expenses; $1.2 million increase in inventories, primarily due to a decrease in sales forecast; and a $0.8 million increase in other assets, primarily due to an increase in certain
prepaid expenses, offset by a $2.8 million reduction of account receivables due to collection of payments.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $36.2 million, primarily consisting of proceeds from
sale of short-term investments of $59.8 million, which was offset by the purchase of property and equipment for expanding our manufacturing capacity of $4.9 million and the purchase of short-term investments of $19.0 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by
financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $6.8 million, primarily due to the underwriters exercise of their over-allotment option in January 2008, resulting in net proceeds of $7.6 million, which was offset by
the payment of a bank loan of $1.0 million.

|Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Interest rate risk. Currently, our exposure to interest rate risk primarily relates to the interest income generated by excess cash invested in deposits as well as short-term securities. We have not historically used and do not
expect to use in the future any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest risk exposure. Interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks
due to changes in interest rates.

At September 30, 2008, our Wuxi subsidiary, MEMSIC Semiconductor, had an interest-bearing note
payable. We believe we have effectively managed the interest rate risk by entering into a fixed rate loan.

Foreign exchange
risk.The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in Chinas political and economic conditions. The conversion of RMB into foreign currencies,
including U.S. dollars, has been based on rates set by the Peoples Bank of China. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decade-old policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under this new policy, the RMB is
permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. While the international reaction to the RMB revaluation has generally been positive, there remains significant international pressure on the PRC
government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar. Although all of our revenue and a significant portion of our payments are denominated in
U.S. dollars, a large portion of our payments are denominated in RMB. Fluctuations in exchange rates, primarily those involving the U.S. dollar, may affect our costs and operating margins as well as our net income reported in U.S. dollars. We have
not used any forward contracts or currency borrowings to hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.

Market risk; auction
rate securities. As of September 30, 2008, our investments included $5.8 million of auction rate securities. We have determined that no other-than-temporary impairment in the value of these securities existed as of September 30, 2008.
However, we have classified these securities as long-term investments. If the credit and capital markets deteriorate further, the credit ratings of the issuers or the insurers of the auction rate securities are downgraded or the collateral
underlying the securities deteriorates or other events occur that would affect the fair value of these auction rate securities, we might conclude that some or all of them have sustained an other-than-temporary impairment in value, such that we would
be required under GAAP to write down their carrying value. Any such write-down would result in a charge against our earnings in the period in which the impairment is recognized, which could be material.

The net proceeds to us of our initial public offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses, were approximately $60.2 million. Through September 30, 2008, we have applied approximately $2.2 million of the
net proceeds to fund capital expenditures for the expansion of our manufacturing facility in Wuxi and $2.7 million to the construction of two new buildings adjacent to that facility. We invested the balance of $55.3 million of the net proceeds from
our initial public offering in money market funds and auction rate securities, pending other uses.
