FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements under the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "will", "should", "expects", "anticipates",
"believes", "estimates", "potential", "continue", or the negative terms or other comparable terminology. These statements include, without
limitation:

- estimates of market growth;
- estimates of capital expenditures;
- the adequacy of available cash;
- the cost or outcome of any litigation pending or threatened;
- the impact on recent accounting pronouncements;
- any gross margin improvement resulting from our research and development effort; and
- the expected cost of compliance with environmental laws.

These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and may involve unknown risks, uncertainties
and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future
results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements including, but not limited to,
prospects for future market growth. Other factors that may cause or contribute to differences include, but are not limited to, continued availability
of third-party foundry, assembly and test services with commercially-reasonable quality and prices; under-absorption of manufacturing costs in
the remaining manufacturing support facilities from under-utilization of capacity; our distributors and customers significantly reducing their existing
inventories before ordering new products and the costs associated with the Microchip lawsuit. In evaluating these statements, you should
specifically consider various factors, including the risks outlined under "Risk Factors" in our
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.

Although we believe that the expectations in the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q are reasonable, we cannot
guarantee future results, levels of activity, and performance achievements. These forward-looking statements are based on our current
expectations, and we disclaim any obligation to update these forward-looking statements for subsequent events or to explain why actual results
differ unless otherwise required by law. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Unless otherwise specified as a forward-looking statement, the information contained in this report is historical in nature and speaks as of the
date of this report unless otherwise clearly indicated. We disclaim any obligation to update this information for subsequent events.

Based in San Jose, California, we were incorporated in California in September 1973 and merged with a subsidiary of Exxon (which
subsidiary changed its name to ZiLOG, Inc.) in November 1981. We were reacquired by an affiliate of Warburg Pincus and Management in 1989
and reincorporated in Delaware in April 1997. We were acquired by an affiliate of Texas Pacific Group in 1998 and we were reorganized in
bankruptcy in 2002. In this report, "ZiLOG," "the Company," "our," "us," "we," and similar expressions refer to ZiLOG, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
However, when these expressions are used throughout this report in connection with ZiLOG, Inc.'s reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
bankruptcy code, they are referring only to the parent company, ZiLOG, Inc., and not to any of its subsidiaries. EZ80ACCLAIM!, CRIMZON,

ZILOG, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The accompanying interim financial information is unaudited. In the opinion of ZiLOG, Inc.'s ("ZiLOG" or the
"Company") management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of interim results
have been included. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's 2008 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K (File Number 001-13748) for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2008, filed on June 30, 2008 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company's fiscal year ends March 31 with interim results based on fiscal quarters of
approximately thirteen weeks in duration ending on the closest Saturday to each calendar quarter end, with the exception of the fiscal fourth
quarter, which ends on March 31. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-period balances to present the consolidated financial
statements on a consistent basis with the current year presentation. Any reference to year pertains to the fiscal year unless otherwise indicated.
The operating results for any period are not necessarily indicative of results for any subsequent period or the full fiscal year.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2008 was derived from audited financial statements at that date,
but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete
financial statements.
NOTE 2. 	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is described in its Annual Report for the 2008 fiscal year ended March 31,
2008, filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 30, 2008. The Company's significant accounting policies remain
unchanged from those disclosed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, except for the following:
Adoption of Accounting Standards. Effective April 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS
No. 159 "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("SFAS No. 159"). The Company did not elect to adopt
the fair value option under this pronouncement which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at
fair value on a contract by contract basis.

Effective April 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS No. 157"). In
February 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 157," which provides a one-year deferral of the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and
non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value at least annually. In September 2008, the
FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-3, "Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active",
which clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157
with respect to its financial assets and liabilities only. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value
under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under SFAS
No. 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most
advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation
techniques used to measure fair value under SFAS No. 157 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of
unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on the following three levels of inputs, of which the first two are
considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value:

- Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
- Level 2 -  Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted
prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that

- Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to
the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

In accordance with SFAS 157, the following table represents the Company's fair value hierarchy for its financial assets (cash equivalents
and available for sale investments) as of December 27, 2008 (unaudited, in thousands):

|                                  | Dec. 27, 2008      
|--------------------------------- | -------------------
|                                  | Fair Value         
|Money market funds                | $            10,147
|Auction rate preferred securities | 1,300              
|Total                             | $            11,447

Since February 2008, due to various factors including the tightening of liquidity in the financial market, regularly held
auctions for Auction Rate Preferred Securities ("ARPS"), have been unsuccessful. Following the failure of these auctions, the Company has
received $2.6 million from redemptions of its ARPS. The remaining ARPS balance of $1.3 million as of December 27, 2008, has been classified
as long-term investments and continue to pay interest pending their redemption or sale.

In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation techniques, including market and income approaches to value available-for-sale
investments. The availability of observable inputs can vary from instrument to instrument and to the extent that valuation is based on inputs
that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. The degree of judgment
exercised by the Company's management in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. All of the Company's ARPS
have AAA credit ratings, are 100% collateralized and continue to pay interest in accordance with their contractual terms. Additionally, the issuers
reported collateralized asset value ranges which exceed the value of ARPS held by the Company by 200 to 300 percent. Accordingly, the
remaining ARPS balance of $1.3 million is categorized as Level 2 for fair value measurement under FAS 157 and has been recorded at full par
value on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 27, 2008. The Company currently believes the ARPS values are not impaired and as
such, no impairment has been recognized against the investment. If future auctions fail to materialize and the credit rating of the issuers
deteriorates, the Company may be required to record an impairment charge against the value of its ARPS.

NOTE 3.	INVENTORY

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. Provisions, when
required, are made to reduce inventory values from cost to their estimated net realizable values. It is possible that estimates of net realizable
value can change in the short-term. Inventory reserves for excess or obsolete inventory are released on sale, scrap or other disposition of the
reserved inventory. Inventories, net of provisions, consist of the following (unaudited, in thousands):

|                 |  |   | Dec. 27, |   | March 31,
|---------------- |  | - | -------- | - | ---------

|Raw materials    |  | $ | 330      | $ | 447      
|Work-in-progress |  |   | 3,955    |   | 5,924

For the three and nine months ended December 27, 2008, the Company incurred special charges of $1.7 million and $2.8
million, respectively. Special charges include severance and other costs related to the headcount reduction, costs and expenses associated with
the Company's on-going strategic review and expenses related to the test outsourcing program that was effectively completed in the December,
2008 fiscal quarter. As a result of declining revenues for the three months ended December 27, 2008, including lower demand reflecting the
current global economic difficulties the Company has continued its efforts of reducing spending and streamline activities. In line with this, in
December 2008, the Company implemented a further reduction in its worldwide workforce. As such, on or about December 10, 2008 and January
15, 2009 the Company reduced its global workforce by approximately 35 percent and recorded charges of $1.2 million reflecting severance and
other costs associated with these actions.

The obligations and expense recognition related to the worldwide workforce reduction were made in accordance with FASB Statement 112
"Employer's Accounting for Post-employment Benefits".

For the three and nine months ended December 29, 2007, the Company incurred $0.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for severance,
lease termination costs and other closure costs related to the consolidation of its research and development efforts and its production test
outsource program. Included in this net charge was a credit of $0.7 million reflecting a refund from an employee benefit plan that was in an
overfunded status. During the nine months ended December 29, 2007, the Company incurred period expenses of $0.2 million related to
maintenance and other costs associated with the sale of its MOD II manufacturing facility.

NOTE 5.	GEOGRAPHIC AND SEGMENT INFORMATION
Segment Information. The Company's business is comprised of one operating segment. The Company engages primarily in the
design, development, manufacture and marketing of semiconductor products. The Company sells its products to distributors and direct customer
accounts including original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and original design manufacturers ("ODMs") in a broad range of market
segments. The Company's operations outside the United States consist of a global support facility in the Philippines which until December, 2008
also conducted production test activities. Additionally, activities outside the U.S. include sales as well as a software support and design center in
Bangalore, India. Domestic operations are responsible for architecture design, design and software development as well as customer
management including coordination of production planning and shipping to meet worldwide customer commitments. The Philippine facility is
reimbursed in relation to its value added with respect to its activities performed, and certain foreign sales offices receive a commission on export
sales within their territory. Accordingly, for financial statement purposes, it is not meaningful to segregate sales or operating profits for the non-US
operations.

The Company has two broad current product categories based on product technologies, referred to as new products and 8-bit classic
products. The new products category includes universal remote control solutions, Zatara 32-bit secured transaction processors and 8-bit
embedded flash microcontrollers. Classic products primarily reflect sales of Z8 microcontrollers including both Read-Only-Memory (ROM) and
One-Time-Programmable (OTP), Z80 microprocessors and Serial Communications Controllers (SCC).

Sales by Product Category. The following table represents the Company's net sales by product category for each of the

NOTE 6. STOCK, OPTIONS AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-based compensation. The Company has a stock-based compensation program that includes non-statutory stock option
awards and restricted stock awards ("RSAs"). Stock options are generally time-based, vesting 25% on the first anniversary of the grant-date and
monthly thereafter over the following three years and expire ten years from the grant-date. As of December 27, 2008, the Company had
1,971,363 shares available for grant under all plans.

The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") that allows employees to purchase shares of common stock at 85 percent of
the fair market value at the lower of either the date of enrollment or the date of purchase. In addition to the shares available for issuance under
the stock option and restricted stock plans, the Company had approximately 929,911
shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the ESPP as of December 27, 2008.

For the three and nine month periods ended December 27, 2008, the Company recorded $0.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in stock
compensation expense. These stock compensation expense amounts include charges for the Company's fiscal 2009 Employee Stock Incentive
Plan ("SIP"). For the three and nine months ended December 29, 2007, the Company recorded $0.1 million and $0.9 million of stock
compensation expense, respectively.

The Company's fiscal 2009 SIP provides eligible employees with an incentive award program based on the Company's achievement of goals
related to revenue growth and product and customer program development. The SIP incentive award is measured for each half of fiscal
2009 independently, calculated as a fixed dollar amount based on each employee's individual incentive and is settled in the form of restricted
stock awards. During the three and nine month periods ended December 27, 2008, the Company recognized $0.2 million and $0.5 million,
respectively of stock compensation expenses related to the SIP.  The total value of the SIP earned by eligible employees for the first half of
fiscal 2009 was $0.7 million with an unrecognized portion of $0.2 million that is being recognized ratably through the expected final vesting date
of May 8, 2009. SIP stock awards for the first half of fiscal 2009 were calculated based on the Company's closing stock price on September 27,
2008 of $3.19 per share and totaled 234,600 shares. The Company has accrued no additional expense in the three months ended December 27,
2008 based on the current expectation that no awards will be earned for the second half of fiscal 2009. All expenses recognized related to
awards earned for the first half of fiscal 2009.

The obligations and expense recognition related to these awards is recognized in accordance with FASB Statement 150 "Accounting for
Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity" and SFAS 123R "Share Based Payments".

2007 is based on a blended calculation of historical and market-based implied volatility. The computation of expected life is based on a
combination of historical and expected exercise patterns. The interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the award is based on the U.S.
Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents
the total pretax intrinsic value, that is, the difference between the Company's closing stock price on the last trading day of the period and the
exercise price times the number of shares that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on
December 27, 2008. This amount will change based on fluctuations of the fair market value of the Company's stock. The total intrinsic value of
options vested and expected to vest is approximately $1,300 at December 27, 2008.

There were 5,240 stock option exercises

No income tax benefit was realized from stock option exercises during the three and nine months ended December 27, 2008 and December
29, 2007. In accordance with SFAS 123R, the Company presents excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options, if any, as financing cash
flows rather than operating cash flows.

As of December 27, 2008, $1.0 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a
weighted-average remaining period of 2.4 years. The total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted shares granted as of December
27, 2008 is $0.04 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 0.4 years.

District Court of Arizona (case number CV05-2406-PHX-MHM). Microchip alleges that the Company has infringed, and currently infringes, its
patents numbered 5,847,450, 6,696,316 and 6,483,183. Microchip claims that unspecified products of the Company, including the Z8 Encore! XP
4K Series of products,

---



infringe these patents and is seeking preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, unspecified damages and costs,
including attorneys' fees. The Company filed a response to the claims on September 15, 2005 generally denying the claims and
challenging the validity of the patents. On January 10, 2006, the Company filed a request for patent re-examination with the U.S. PTO, which was
granted in February and March 2006 for all 3 patents. On April 11, 2008, the Company received a notice that all of Microchip's claims under these
three patents have been rejected by the U.S. PTO. Notwithstanding this favorable ruling, because Microchip has a right to appeal the patent
office's decision, the Company does not believe it is feasible to predict or determine the outcome or resolution of this litigation at this time. The
Company believes it has meritorious defenses and will defend itself vigorously against these claims. The Company may incur substantial
expenses in its defense against these claims. In the event of a determination adverse to the Company, it may incur substantial monetary liabilities
and be required to change our business practices. Either of these could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of
operations and/or cash flows.

On December 1, 2006, the Company filed a patent infringement claim against Altera Corporation ("Altera") and Actel Corporation ("Actel")
 in the U.S. District Court of California (civil docket number 4:06-cv-07388-SBA). The Company alleges that Altera and Actel have
infringed, and currently infringe, its patent numbered 4,670,749 which the Company believes to be the fundamental patent for programmable
logic. The Company claims that Altera's and Actel's products infringe these patents and is seeking unspecified damages and costs, including
attorneys' fees.  Actel settled their case with the Company on June 11, 2007 for an undisclosed amount.  The case against Altera is
currently on stay pending reexamination of the patent in suit.

On May 23, 2008, Altera filed a patent infringement claim against the Company in the U.S. District Court of Texas (civil action number 2:08-
CV-218). Altera alleges that the Company has infringed, and currently infringes, its patents numbered 6,097,211, 6,147,511 and 6,314,550.
Altera claims that unspecified products of the Company's, including its eZ80 and Zneo series of products, infringe these patents and is
seeking preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, unspecified damages and costs, including attorneys' fees. The Company does not believe it
is feasible to predict or determine the outcome or resolution of this litigation at this time. The Company will defend itself vigorously against these
claims. The Company may incur substantial expenses in its defense against these claims. In the event of a determination adverse to the
Company, it may incur substantial monetary liabilities, and be required to change its business practices. Either of these could have a material
adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

The Company is participating in other litigation and responding to other claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company
intends to defend itself vigorously in these matters. The Company's management believes that it is unlikely that the outcome of these matters will
have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements, although there can be no assurance in this regard.

From time to time the Company has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless certain customers for potential allegations of infringement of
intellectual property rights and patents arising from the use of its products. During the ordinary course of business, in certain limited
circumstances, the Company has agreed to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally
parties with which the Company has commercial relations, in connection with certain intellectual property infringement claims by any third party
with respect to its products and services. The Company has indemnification arrangements that limit its net contingent obligation to pay for
defense costs, if any, up to a maximum of $2 million. To date, there have not been any costs incurred in connection with such indemnification
arrangements; therefore, there is no accrual of such amounts at December 27, 2008. The Company discloses indemnification liabilities according
to FASB Staff Position FIN 45-1, "Accounting for Intellectual Property Infringement Indemnifications under FAS Interpretation No. 45."
Under FAS No. 5, "Loss Contingencies," a claim would be accrued when a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
At December 27, 2008, no such amounts are accrued.

In connection with the lease in July 2007 for its new corporate headquarters located in San Jose, California, the Company established an
Irrevocable Letter of Credit in the amount of $0.3 million with its bank for the security deposit.

NOTE 8. SHORT-TERM DEBT AND LICENSE AGREEMENTS

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, the Company entered into a short term financing agreement totaling $1.4 million.
Borrowings on the agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal, at the Company's option, to the Lender's stated prime rate or LIBOR, plus
1.75% which was 2.25% at December 27, 2008. As of December 27, 2008, the Company had $0.7 million of borrowings outstanding under this
agreement payable through June 2009. As noted previously, the Company had $0.3 million of standby letters of credit with its bank as of
December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively.

In October 2007, the Company entered into a three year development software license agreement beginning December 30, 2007 for a total
license fee of $2.2 million. The Company retains perpetual use of the software at the end of the agreement. The total unpaid portion of $0.6
million has been included in short and long-term liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of December 27, 2008.

In April 2008, the Company entered into a three-year agreement to license certain technologies to further develop its 32-bit ARM core based
technology. The total cost of this agreement was $2.4 million and the unpaid portion of $2.0 million has been included in short and long-term
liabilities on the Company's consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 27, 2008.

NOTE 9.	INCOME TAXES

The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Standards Accounting Board Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN48") effective April 1, 2007. In connection with the adoption of FIN 48, the Company
has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years
in these jurisdictions.

As of December 27, 2008, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $5.4 million of which $4.6 million is recorded as a
deferred tax asset that is fully offset by a valuation allowance and $0.9 million which if recognized would affect the Company's effective tax rate.
The calculation of unrecognized tax benefits involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex global tax regulations. Management
assesses the Company's tax positions in light of legislative, bilateral tax treaty, regulatory and judicial developments in the countries in which the
Company does business.

A valuation allowance is required to be recorded if in management's judgment, based on available evidence; it is more likely than not that
some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Based on available evidence, management has concluded that a
valuation allowance is necessary to reduce the net deferred tax asset.  Accordingly, deferred tax assets have been recognized only to the
extent of deferred tax liabilities.

The Company recognizes interest in accordance with Paragraph 15 of FIN48 and recognizes penalties in accordance with Paragraph 16 of
FIN48 which are classified as part of income taxes. As of December 27, 2008, the Company had approximately $0.1 million of accrued interest
and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and various states and foreign jurisdictions. There are no ongoing examinations by
taxing authorities at this time. The Company's various tax years beginning in 2001 through 2007 remain open in various taxing jurisdictions.

During the three and nine months ended December 27, 2008, the Company's income tax provision was $0.1 million and $0.3 million,
respectively, which primarily reflects provisions for taxes in certain profitable foreign jurisdictions. During the three and nine months ended
December 29, 2007, the Company's income tax provision was

16

---



$0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, which primarily reflects amortization of
deferred charges and provisions for taxes in certain profitable foreign jurisdictions.

The Company provides for income tax expense in foreign jurisdictions where its foreign subsidiaries operations generate profits that are
taxable. The Company's income tax expense reflects the estimated annual effective tax rate at that time based on projections of operations. Tax
authorities may challenge the allocation of profits between the Company's subsidiaries and may challenge certain tax benefits claimed on its tax
returns, and the Company may not prevail in any such challenge.  If the Company were not to prevail, it could be subject to higher tax rates
or lose certain tax benefit that could result in a higher tax rate.

NOTE 10. RETIREMENT AND BENEFIT PLANS

U.S. 401(k) retirement plan: The Company has an employee savings plan that qualifies as a deferred salary arrangement under
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "401(k) Plan"). Under the 401(k) Plan, participating U.S. employees may defer a portion of their
pretax earnings, up to the Internal Revenue Service annual contribution limit. The Company may make matching contributions on behalf of each
participating employee in an amount equal to 100% of the participant's deferral contribution, up to 1.5% of the participant's compensation on a
quarterly basis. The Company may also make additional discretionary contributions to the 401(k) Plan. Matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan
for each of the nine months ended December 27, 2008 and the nine months ended December 29, 2007 were approximately $0.1 million. There
were no discretionary contributions made in the nine months ended December 27, 2008 and the nine months ended December 29, 2007,
respectively.

Philippine defined benefit plan: The Company's Philippines subsidiary maintains a defined benefit pension plan for local
employees, which is consistent with local statutes and practices. The Company has adopted SFAS 158, which supersedes the previous
accounting under SFAS 87. As of December 27, 2008 based on its most recent actuarial report, this pension plan was adequately funded. During
the nine months ended December 27, 2008, the net periodic benefit costs were immaterial.

During the nine months ended December 27, 2008, the Company received $0.7 million of plan assets as entitlement benefits for terminated
employees, which was included in the net severance payments related to the Company's restructuring and outsourcing activities in its Philippines
operations. Additionally in May 2007, the Company received a refund of $0.7 million from its Philippines defined benefit plan related to its prior
over funded status. The refund was recorded as a credit to special charges during the nine months ended December 29, 2007.

India defined benefit plan: The Company's India subsidiary maintains a defined benefit pension plan ("India Plan") for local
employees, which is consistent with local statutes and practices. The Company has adopted SFAS 158, which supersedes the previous
accounting under SFAS 87. As of December 27, 2008, based on its latest actuarial report, the pension plan was adequately funded. The India
Plan has an independent external manager that advises the Company of the appropriate funding contribution requirements to which the
Company complies. At December 27, 2008 there were approximately 20 percent of the total employees that had qualified for eligibility in the India
subsidiary. Generally, an employee must be employed by the company for a minimum of five years before becoming eligible. At the time of
eligibility the Company is liable, on termination, resignation or retirement, to pay the employee an effective amount of fifteen days salary for each
full year of service completed. The plan is capped for each employee that at December 27, 2008 equated to $ 7,000 per employee. This cap
reflects the full liability each employee can earn over the lifetime of their employment with the Company. The total amount of liability outstanding
at December 27, 2008 for the India Plan is not material. During the nine months ended December 27, 2008, the net periodic benefit costs were
not material.

ITEM 2.	 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of
various factors including those set forth in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2008 and in other
sections of this quarterly report.

Overview

The following is management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of our operations and those of our subsidiaries
for the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007. This discussion and analysis should be read in
conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein and in our 2008 annual
report on Form 10-K. Management's discussion and analysis provides information concerning our business environment, consolidated
results of operations and liquidity and capital resources.

Our fiscal year ends on March 31 with interim results based on fiscal quarters of approximately thirteen weeks in duration ending on
the closest Saturday to each calendar quarter end, with the exception of the fourth quarter, which ends on March 31.  The operating
results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any subsequent period or the full fiscal year.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our critical accounting policies are disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2008 and have not
changed materially as of December 27, 2008.

On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those related to sales returns, allowance for doubtful accounts,
inventory write-downs, asset impairments, stock-based compensation expense and deferred taxes. We base our estimates on historical trends
and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable at the time the estimates are made. Actual results may differ from those
estimates. Critical accounting estimates are described in our Form 10-K for the 2008 fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, filed on June 30,
2008.

Reporting Segments

We conduct our business in one reportable segment to reflect the manner in which our chief operating decision-maker allocates
resources and assesses the performance of our business.

Key Metrics

Other key indices relevant in understanding our business and financial performance include the following metrics (unaudited):

|                                          |  |  | Three Months Ended
|----------------------------------------- |  |  | ------------------
|                                          |  |  | Dec. 27,          
|                                          |  |  | 2008              
|Days sales outstanding                    |  |  | 39                
|Net sales to inventory ratio (annualized) |  |  | 8.5               
|Weeks of inventory at distributors        |  |  | 12                
|Current ratio                             |  |  | 1.5               

We calculate each of these key metrics based on annualized quarterly results of operations data and balance sheet data as
of the end of the period indicated. Each of these key metrics is described below:

Days sales outstanding, DSO, is a common metric used to analyze how quickly our customers pay us. This metric is influenced
largely by the timing of our customer billings, collections, and individual payment terms. At December 27, 2008, our DSO was 39 days as
compared to 45 days at December 29, 2007. This improvement in DSO is largely due to increased linearity of our shipments in the quarter ended
December 27, 2008 versus the comparable quarter a year ago, allowing a higher portion of customer receivables to be collected during the
quarter in which they were sold. Additionally, for the three months ended December 27, 2008 the percentage of sales to distribution was higher
which, on average, have shorter payment terms and also contributed to the improved DSO's.

Net sales to inventory ratio is a metric we use to measure how rapidly our investment in inventories is recovered by our sales and is
calculated by dividing ending inventory into sales for the quarter annualized. This metric may not be comparable to other companies who use
inventory ratios to analyze inventory and is not the same as a typical inventory turns ratio. Our annualized net sales to inventory ratio increased to
8.5 from 7.3 in the quarter ended December 27, 2008 as compared to the quarter ended December 29, 2007. Our inventory levels declined at
December 27, 2008 reflecting our continued tight management control of our inventories especially in the current difficulties of the global
economy and the impact this has had on sales for the semiconductor industry and us.

Weeks of inventory at distributors measures how quickly our distributors sell the inventories that we sell to them. We recognize
revenue on shipments to distributors when our distributors resell the products. Although our distributors in various regions of the world
maintain

Current ratio represents current assets divided by current liabilities and is commonly used to assess a company's liquidity. We use
this ratio to make spending determinations on discretionary items. Our current ratio as of December 27, 2008 was 1.5 a decrease from 2.0 as of
December 29, 2007. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in cash which was used for working capital needs and the reclassification of
our ARPS from cash and cash equivalents to long-term investments.

Three Months Ended December 27, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended December 29, 2007

Net Sales. Net sales were $13.0 million for the quarter ended December 27, 2008, a decrease of 23 percent as compared to net sales of
$17.0 million for the quarter ended December 29, 2007.

Net sales of our new products which include our 32-bit Zatara secured transactions microprocessors, universal remote control solutions and
8-bit embedded flash microcontrollers decreased 27 percent to $7.1 million for the three months ended December 27, 2008 compared to $9.8
million for the three months ended December 29, 2007. The decrease was in all three product groups although the decrease was more extensive
in both our 32-bit Zatara product sales for the point of sale market and our remote control solutions. The lower product sales for our Zatara
products primarily reflects lower demand from a key customer as it continues to reduce inventory levels and align to their end customer and
market needs. Prior to the December quarter in fiscal 2009, this customer had been ramping its volume needs. Sales of universal remote control
products ("UIR") declined significantly in the quarter both sequentially and year on year. The reduction in UIR sales was reflective of overall
declines in consumer market demand by customers in both direct and distribution channels. Consumer market products were significantly
impacted in the quarter by the general global market slowdown and the deterioration in end market consumption of products.

Net sales of our 8-bit classic products, consisting of our traditional Z8, Z80 and SCC products decreased by 19 percent to $5.9 million for the
quarter ended December 27, 2008 as compared to $7.2 million for the quarter ended December 29, 2007. This decline reflects a reduction in
demand for certain consumer, security and telecommunications applications and lower distribution resales into the broad based general purpose
market including industrial market applications.

Compared to year ago levels, we are continuing to experience a reduction in sales reflecting the impact of the global economic crisis,
especially as it relates to the sales of our consumer based products.

Gross Margin. Cost of sales primarily represents manufacturing costs relating to wafer fabrication, package assembly, product
testing operations and logistics costs. Cost of sales fluctuates, depending on material and service prices from our vendors, manufacturing
productivity, product mix, equipment utilization and depreciation. Gross margin was $4.8 million or 37 percent of sales for the quarter ended
December 27, 2008 as compared to gross margin of $8.0 million or 47 percent for the quarter ended December 29, 2007. Gross margin as a
percentage of sales was lower in the quarter than for the comparable quarter a year ago reflecting:

20

---



- lower sales of higher margin products,
- higher unfavorable manufacturing support variances driven by lower overall volumes, and
- a charge for inventory reserves recorded reflecting lower overall demand.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses were $3.7 million for the quarter ended December 27,
2008 which were lower than expenditures of $4.1 million for the quarter ended December 29, 2007. Research and development spending for the
quarter ended December 27, 2008 reflects the benefit of lower program spending and cost reductions implemented in the quarter including
payroll savings associated with operational shutdowns implemented in the quarter. Research and development activities continue to be focused
on our three key market strategies that being universal remote control solutions, 32-bit secured transaction processors and 8-bit embedded flash
microcontrollers.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $4.8 million for the
quarter ended December 27, 2008 from $4.9 million for the quarter ended December 29, 2007. Sales and marketing expenses decreased slightly
from the comparable fiscal quarter a year ago primarily reflecting lower payroll costs offset by higher marketing program costs associated new
product introductions.

Special Charges and Credits. Special charges and credits for the periods indicated were as follows (unaudited, in thousands):

For the three months ended December 27, 2008, special charges totaled $1.7 million including costs associated with our
workforce reduction implemented in December, 2008 and January, 2009 of $1.2 million. Additionally, special charges includes the ongoing costs
related to our strategic alternatives review of $0.3 million and manufacturing test operations outsource activities of $0.2 million. For the three
months ended December 29, 2007, special charges totaled $0.6 million and primarily reflected severance and termination costs associated with
the test outsource program which is substantially complete.

Amortization of Intangible Assets.

We performed our annual impairment test of goodwill and intangible assets during the quarter ended March 31, 2008. As of December 27,
2008, there was no indication of impairment of our intangible assets' carrying value.

Separable intangible assets that are deemed to have defined lives have been recorded and continue to be amortized over their useful lives.
These intangible assets are being amortized utilizing the pattern-of-use method over their estimated useful lives of six years for current
technology and ten years for brand name.

Interest and Other Income (Expense).

Income Taxes. For the quarter ended December 27, 2008, our income tax provision reflects provisions for taxes in certain profitable
foreign jurisdictions. For the quarter ended December 29, 2007, the income tax provision reflects the amortization of deferred charges and
provisions for taxes in certain profitable foreign jurisdictions. The amortization of deferred charges is now complete and as such, no amortization
charges were required to be recorded in the quarter ended December 27, 2008. We anticipate operating at a loss for U.S. tax purposes for the
fiscal year ending March 31, 2009. We provide for income tax expense in foreign jurisdictions where the foreign subsidiaries' operations generate
profits that are locally taxable.

Deferred tax assets have been recorded net of valuation allowances. A valuation allowance is required to be recorded if in management's
judgment, and based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 Based on available evidence, we have concluded that a valuation allowance is necessary and have reduced our net deferred tax assets to
the extent of our deferred tax liabilities.

Nine Months Ended December 27, 2008 Compared to Nine Months Ended December 29, 2007

Net Sales. Net sales were $50.2 million for the nine months ended December 27, 2008, a decrease of 1 percent as compared to net
sales of $50.5 million for the nine months ended December 29, 2007.

Net sales of our new products which include our 32-bit Zatara secured transactions microprocessors, universal remote control solutions and
8-bit embedded flash microcontrollers increased 12 percent to $30.2 million for the

22

---



nine months ended December 27, 2008 compared to $27.0
million for the nine months ended December 29, 2007. This increase reflects an increase in our 32-bit Zatara product sales for the point of sale
market, an increase in sales of our remote control solutions reflecting continued customer expansion and existing customer growth with new
programs, including shipments of our new low power CrimzonTMproducts, partially offset by a decrease in our embedded flash
sales.

Net sales of our 8-bit classic products, consisting of our traditional Z8, Z80 and SCC products decreased by 15 percent to $20.0 million for
the nine months ended December 27, 2008, as compared to $23.5 million for the nine months ended December 29, 2007. This decline reflects a
reduction in demand for certain consumer, security and telecommunications applications and lower distribution resales into the broad based
general purpose market including industrial market applications.

Gross Margin. Cost of sales primarily represents manufacturing costs relating to wafer fabrication, package assembly, product
testing operations and logistics costs. Cost of sales fluctuates, depending on material and service prices from our vendors, manufacturing
productivity, product mix, equipment utilization and depreciation. Gross margin was $22.2 million or 44 percent of net sales for the nine months
ended December 27, 2008, compared to gross margin of $23.1 million or 46 percent for the nine months ended December 29,
2007.

- lower sales of higher margin product,
- higher unfavorable manufacturing support variances driven by lower overall volumes, and
- a charge for inventory reserves recorded reflecting lower demand on certain products.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses were $11.6 million for the nine months ended
December 27, 2008 which were lower than the expenditures of $12.6 million for the nine months ended December 29, 2007. Research and
development spending for the nine months ended December 27, 2008 reflects the benefit of lower program spending and cost reductions
implemented during the quarter including payroll savings associated with operational shutdowns. Research and development activities continue
to be focused on our three key market strategies that being universal remote control solutions, 32-bit secured transaction processors and 8-bit
embedded flash microcontrollers.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $16.3 million for the nine
months ended December 27, 2008 as compared to $15.0 million for the nine months ended December 29, 2007. The increase in our selling,
general and administrative spending reflects higher professional service costs associated with our shareholder proxy matters and patent litigation
activities. Additionally, S,G&A expenses were higher for the nine months ended December 27, 2008 reflecting expenses associated with the
fiscal 2009 first half results for the employee incentive compensation plans.

Special Charges and Credits. Specials charges and credits totaled $2.8 million for the nine months ended December 27, 2008 as
compared to $1.5 million for the nine months ended December 29, 2007. The 2008 charges included costs and expenses of $1.2 million
associated with our worldwide workforce reduction initiated and implemented in December 2008 and January 2009. Additionally, special charges
included costs related to our strategic alternatives review of $0.3 million and $0.9 million of continued costs related to our manufacturing test
operations outsource which were substantially complete at December 27, 2008. The 2007 charges included $1.0 million related to the
consolidation of worldwide engineering activities and costs related to our test outsource activity. Additionally, 2007 included $0.2 million for the
MOD II facility held for sale consisting of associated maintenance and selling costs of that site in Nampa, Idaho. This was offset by a $0.7 million
refund received from our Philippines defined benefit plan as the plan was in an overfunded position.

Interest Income and Expense. Interest income relates to interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are
primarily invested in a mixture of treasury backed securities, money market funds and high-grade commercial paper with maturities of 90 days or
less. Interest income for the nine months ended December 27, 2008 was $0.1 million as compared to $0.7 million for the nine months ended
December 29, 2007. The lower interest income is the result of a lower cash balance as well as the investment in treasury guaranteed short term investments

23

---



yielding significantly lower interest rates. During 2008, with the anomalies in the financial market and the uncertainty caused by
tightening of liquidity requirements, including the failure of the ARPS, we moved a considerable amount of our cash and cash equivalents to
government guaranteed securities to ensure availability and security. Other income was $0.5 million income for the nine months ended
December 27, 2008 as compared to $0.2 million expense for the nine months ended December 29, 2007. The income in 2008 primarily reflects
currency exchange gains on the strengthening US dollar versus the currencies of India and the Philippines. This was the inverse in 2007 which
created currency losses.

Income Taxes. For the nine months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007 our income tax provisions were $0.3 million
and $1.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended December 27, 2008, our income tax provision reflects the provisions for taxes in certain
profitable foreign jurisdictions. For the nine months ended December 29, 2007, our income tax provision reflects the amortization of deferred
charges, provisions for taxes in certain profitable foreign jurisdictions and the release of a 2003 tax reserve on which the statue of limitation
expired during the quarter ended September 29, 2007. We estimate operating at a cumulative loss for U.S. tax purposes for fiscal 2009. We
provide for income tax expense in foreign jurisdictions where the specific foreign subsidiaries operations generate profits that are taxable.

Deferred tax assets have been recorded net of valuation allowances. A valuation allowance is required to be recorded if in management's
judgment, and based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 Based on available evidence, we have concluded that a valuation allowance is necessary and have reduced our net deferred tax assets to
the extent of our deferred tax liabilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 27, 2008, we had $0.7 million of bank borrowings outstanding primarily reflecting borrowings under a short term bank
arrangement utilized to finance a three-year license agreement for engineering development software. As of December 29, 2007, we had no debt
or bank borrowings outstanding. Additionally, in April 2008, we entered into a three-year agreement to license certain technologies to further
develop our 32-bit ARM core based technology. The total cost of this agreement was $2.4 million and the unpaid portion of $2.0 million has been
included in short and long-term liabilities on our consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 27, 2008.

We had $0.3 million in standby letters of credit as of December 27, 2008 and as of December 29, 2007 related to the lease for our corporate
headquarters facility in San Jose, California.

At December 27, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13.6 million and compares to $16.6 million as at March 31, 2008. We
classified $1.3 million of our Auction Rate Preferred Securities ("ARPS") as long-term investments as of December 27, 2008. Due to the
continued disruption in the credit markets that resulted in widespread failed auctions issuers have continued to periodically redeem these
previously issued ARPS on an unscheduled basis.  The failed auctions resulted in a loss of liquidity for sellers but did not constitute a
default by the issuer of the underlying security.

We adopted SFAS No. 157 (SFAS 157), "Fair Value Measurements," on April 1, 2008. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value
hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad categories for disclosure to show the
extent and level of judgment used to estimate fair value measurements.  In determining fair value, we use various valuation techniques,
including market and income approaches to value available-for-sale investments. The availability of observable inputs can vary from instrument to
instrument and to the extent that valuation is based on inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair
value requires more judgment. The degree of judgment exercised by our management in determining fair value is greatest for instruments
categorized in Level 3. All of our ARPS have AAA credit ratings, are 100% collateralized and continue to pay interest in accordance with their
contractual terms. The issuers reported collateralized asset value ranges which exceed the value of ARPS held by us by 200 to 300 percent.
Accordingly, our remaining ARPS balance of $1.3 million has been categorized as Level 2 for fair value measurement and has been recorded at
full par value on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 27, 2008. We believe the ARPS values are not impaired and as such, no
impairment has been recognized against the investment. If the investment

24

---



bankers are unable to successfully close future auctions and their
credit rating continues to deteriorate, we may be required to record an impairment charge against the value of our ARPS investments.

We believe that existing cash, cash equivalents and investments, together with any cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet
normal operating requirements including capital expenditures for the next twelve months.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities. During the nine months ended December 27, 2008, net cash provided by investing
activities was less than $0.1 million, a decrease of $2.1 million from $2.2 million during the nine months ended December 29, 2007. Cash
provided by investing activities in the nine months ended December 27, 2008 includes $0.6 million of redemptions of our investment in ARPS
classified as long term investments, partially offset by $0.5 million of computer software and hardware related capital expenditures. Cash
provided by investing activities in the nine months ended December 29, 2007 included the sale of our MOD II facility for a gross sales price of
$3.2 million offset by the purchase of $1.0 million of capital expenditures primarily related to our headquarter facility relocation.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities. During each of the nine month periods ended December 27, 2008 and December 29,
2007, $0.1 million and $0.2 million in net cash were provided by financing activities, respectively. During the nine months ended
December 27, 2008, our financing activities included the receipt of cash under our short term financing arrangement of $0.7 million offset by
payments of $0.7 million and $0.1 million from proceeds from the issuance of common stock under employee stock purchase and stock option
plans. During the nine months ended December 29, 2007, $0.4 million of cash was provided by proceeds from the issuance of common stock
under employee stock option and stock purchase plans.

Contractual Obligations. We lease certain of our facilities and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases, which expire in
fiscal 2009 through fiscal 2014. These facility lease agreements generally provide for base rental rates, which may increase at various times
during the terms of the leases and also provide for renewal options at fair market rental value. We are also responsible for common area
maintenance charges on certain office leases, which are not included in the table below. These charges are generally less than 10% of base
rents.

We generally make purchases under cancelable purchase orders and do not enter into long-term supply agreements.
Certain of our wafer foundry, assembly, materials suppliers, software vendors and support tool manufacturers require non-cancelable purchase
orders since they often provide products and services tailored to our specifications.

On September 24, 2008, we renewed the lease of our global support facility in the Philippines. The lease extension period is through March
31, 2012 with total lease payment commitments of $1.8 million. We have further options to extend this lease at its expiration in 2012.

From time to time, we have agreed to indemnify and hold harmless certain customers for potential allegations of infringement of intellectual
property rights and patents arising from the use of our products. During the ordinary course of business, in certain limited circumstances, we have
agreed to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally parties with which we have
commercial relations, in connection with certain intellectual property infringement claims by any third party with respect to its products and
services. We have indemnification arrangements that limit our net contingent obligation to pay for defense costs, if any, up to a maximum of $2.5
million. To date, there have not been any costs incurred in connection with such indemnification arrangements; therefore, there is no accrual of
such amounts at December 27, 2008. We disclose indemnification liabilities according to FASB Staff Position FIN45-1, "Accounting for
Intellectual Property Infringement Indemnifications under FAS Interpretation No. 45." Under FAS No. 5, "Loss Contingencies," a
claim would be accrued when a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. At December 27, 2008, no such amounts have
been accrued.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 27, 2008, we are not involved in any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a) (4) (ii) of
SEC Regulation S-K

Seasonality

Sales typically increase in the June quarter and peak in the September quarter driven by increased holiday demand from our customers
in the home entertainment and consumer products markets. Our sales are generally lower in the March and December quarters as compared to
the June and September quarters, although our trends have fluctuated considerably in the most recent periods. Our sales have been impacted by
non-seasonal trends including sales reductions by certain direct customers and declines in our classic business As evidenced most recently, our
results have been negatively impacted by the global economic decline including the worldwide financial crisis. In general world-wide economic,
political and regional instabilities may impact our results of operations in any given period.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our short-term investment portfolio. We do not use
derivative financial investments in our investment portfolio. Our primary investment objectives are to preserve capital and maintain liquidity.
These objectives are met by investing in high-quality credit issuances and limiting the amount of credit exposure to any one company. Our policy
is to mitigate default risk by investing in only the highest quality securities and monitoring the credit ratings of such investments.

As of December 27, 2008, our cash and cash equivalents of $13.6 million were invested in treasury guaranteed bank time deposits as well as
money market funds.

In February 2008, tightening of the U.S. liquidity markets caused the auction rate process to default and our Auction Rate Preferred
Securities ("ARPS") could not be successfully sold. At that time, we had $3.9 million invested in ARPS. Subsequently, we have received cash
proceeds from the redemption at par of $2.6 million of our ARPS. As of December 27, 2008 our remaining investment in ARPS of $1.3 million has
been classified as long-term investments at full par value on our consolidated balance sheet.

We entered into a short term financing agreement with borrowings that bear interest at a rate per annum equal, at the Company's option, to
the Lender's stated prime rate or LIBOR, plus 1.75% which was 2.25% at December 27, 2008. Our borrowing rate will fluctuate based on
changes in the prime or LIBOR rates.

26

---



Foreign Currency Exchange Risk.

We transact business in various foreign countries of which a significant portion of our consolidated net sales and purchases are denominated
in U.S. dollars. Currently, we do not employ a foreign currency hedging program to mitigate our foreign currency exchange risk as we believe the
risks to date have not been significant or economically viable to conduct such activities. We maintain local currency bank accounts in our
international offices to facilitate payment of local operating costs.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's

Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as
such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of
December 27, 2008. Based on such evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of
December 27, 2008, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a
timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act and are effective
in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated
and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting
(as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 27, 2008 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On August 11, 2005, Microchip Technology, Inc. ("Microchip") filed a patent infringement claim against us in the U.S. District Court
of Arizona (case number CV05-2406-PHX-MHM). Microchip alleges that we have infringed, and currently infringe, its patents numbered
5,847,450, 6,696,316 and 6,483,183. Microchip claims that unspecified products of ours, including the Z8 Encore! XP 4K Series of
products, infringe these patents and is seeking preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, unspecified damages and costs, including attorneys'
fees. We filed a response to the claims on September 15, 2005 generally denying the claims and challenging the validity of the patents. On
January 10, 2006, we filed a request for patent re-examination with the U.S. PTO, which was granted in February and March 2006 for all 3
patents. On April 11, 2008, we received a notice that all of Microchip's claims under these three patents have been rejected by the U.S. PTO.
Notwithstanding this favorable ruling, because Microchip has a right to appeal the patent office's decision, we do not believe it is feasible to
predict or determine the outcome or resolution of this litigation at this time. We believe we have meritorious defenses and will defend ourselves
vigorously against these claims. We may incur substantial expenses in our defense against these claims. In the event of a determination adverse
to us, we may incur substantial monetary liabilities and be required to change our business practices. Either of these could have a material
adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.

On December 1, 2006, we filed a patent infringement claim against Altera Corporation ("Altera") and Actel Corporation ("Actel")  in the
U.S. District Court of California (civil docket number 4:06-cv-07388-SBA). We allege that Altera and Actel have infringed, and currently infringe,
our patent numbered 4,670,749 which we believe to be the fundamental patent for programmable logic. We claim that Altera's and Actel's
products infringe these patents and are seeking unspecified damages and costs, including attorneys' fees.  Actel settled their case with us
on June 11, 2007 for an undisclosed amount.  The case against Altera is currently on stay pending reexamination of the patent in suit.

On May 23, 2008, Altera filed a patent infringement claim against us in the U.S. District Court of Texas (civil action number 2:08-CV-218).
Altera alleges that we have infringed, and currently infringe, its patents numbered 6,097,211, 6,147,511 and 6,314,550. Altera claims that
unspecified products of ours, including our eZ80 and Zneo series of products, infringe these patents and is seeking preliminary and
permanent injunctive relief, unspecified damages and costs, including attorneys' fees.

We do not believe it is feasible to predict or determine the outcome or resolution of this litigation at this time. We may incur substantial
expenses in our defense against these claims. In the event of a determination adverse to us, we may incur substantial monetary liabilities, and be
required to change our business practices. Either of these could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations
and/or cash flows.

We are participating in other litigation and responding to claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We intend to defend ourselves
vigorously in these other matters. Our management believes that it is unlikely that the outcome of these other matters will have a material
adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements, although there can be no assurance in this regard.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risk Factors.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should consider the risk factors discussed in Part I "Item 1A. Risk Factors"
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or
future results. The risk factors in our Form 10-K have not materially changed. The risk factors described in our Form 10-K, are not the only risks
facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially
adversely affect our business, financial conditions and/or operating results.

Our business may be negatively impacted by the volatility and disruption of the capital and credit markets, and adverse changes in
the global economy.

Current uncertainty in global economic conditions poses a risk to the overall economy as consumers and businesses may defer
purchases in response to restricted access to credit and negative financial news, which could negatively affect product demand and other related
matters. Consequently, demand could be different from our expectations due to factors including changes in business and economic conditions;
conditions in the credit market that could affect consumer confidence; customer acceptance of our and our competitors' products; changes in
customer order patterns including order cancellations; and changes in the level of our customers' inventory. Credit market conditions also may
slow our collection efforts as customers experience increased difficulty in obtaining requisite financing, leading to higher than normal accounts
receivable. This could result in greater expense associated with collection efforts and increased bad debt expense. In addition, credit conditions
may impair our vendors' ability to finance the portion of raw materials or general working capital needs to support our production requirements,
resulting in a delay or non-delivery of inventory shipments.

Our ability to find investments that are both safe and liquid and that provide a reasonable return may be impaired. This could result in lower
interest income, longer investment terms and/or higher impairments.

Additionally, the inability of our customers or distributors to access capital efficiently could cause disruptions in their businesses, thereby
negatively impacting ours. For example, if our customers or distributors do not have sufficient liquidity, they could reduce or limit new purchases,
which could result in lower demand for our products and/or we may be at risk for any trade credit we have extended to them, due to their inability
to repay us. This risk may increase if there is a general economic downturn affecting significant customers or a large number of our other
customers and they are not able to adequately manage their business risks or do not properly disclose their financial condition to us.

We have implemented measures to consolidate our activities and/or significantly reduce our costs, and we may be required to
implement additional measures depending upon our future revenues and operating results.

In the past, we have implemented measures designed to consolidate our activities and/or reduce our costs, including during the four
years ended March 31, 2008 and for the nine months ended December 27, 2008. These cost reduction efforts have included:

- transferring our production test operations currently performed in our Philippines facility to third party suppliers;
- consolidation of our research and development activities including the closure of design and development sites in Shanghai,
China and Seattle, Washington;
- restructuring our manufacturing operations, which has included closing and subsequently outsourcing all of our wafer fabrication
and assembly operations and consolidating probe and final test operations, as well as certain customer service and accounting functions at our
Philippines site;

- refocusing our strategic priorities;
- reallocating personnel and responsibilities to better utilize human resources;
- reducing our workforce; and
- instituting temporary office and facility shutdowns.

In light of the slowing global economy we expect lower revenues and may be required to cut costs to preserve our cash and attain cash flow
break even. Cost reduction measures may not increase our efficiency, lead to profitability or result in the cash savings anticipated. In the past, we
have reduced our spending on research and development. Reducing research and development spending could harm our ability to introduce new
products in the future. If we reduce our sales staff it could also result in lower revenue. If our revenue or operating results significantly decline in
the future, we may be required to institute further cost reduction measures.

From time to time, we evaluate our strategic alternatives with respect to our cost structure and business alternatives. We may be required
take actions which may result in the occurrence of accounting charges. Some or all of these charges may be non-cash. Such charges would have
a negative impact on our GAAP profitability and may have a negative impact on our cash balance.
