All statements included or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, other than statements of historical fact, are
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and our industry, and reflect our beliefs and assumptions based upon information available to us as of
the date of this report and are therefore subject to change. In some cases, you can identify these statements by words such as if, may, might, will, should, could,
would, expects, plans, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, potential, continue, and other similar terms. These forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, projections of our future financial performance and our anticipated growth, our accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments, the demand for our products, descriptions of our strategies, our product and
market development plans, the trends we anticipate in our business and the markets in which we operate, the competitive nature and anticipated growth of those markets, our dependence on a few key customers for a substantial portion of our net
revenue, our ability to continue to successfully partner with strategic partners, the successful integration of the operations and products of the companies we acquire, our ability to successfully address new markets where competition is intense,
our ability to successfully predict the future product needs of our customers and develop products that meet their needs in time to meet product design-in windows and the success of our recently announced cost reduction efforts.

We caution readers that the forward-looking statements in this report are predictions based on our current expectations about future events.
These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially and adversely
from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. We caution readers not to rely on these forward-looking statements, which reflect managements analysis only as of the date of this report. These
forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement for any reason, except as otherwise required by law.

NOTE: For a more complete understanding of our financial condition and results of operations, and the risks that could affect our future
results, see Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A. below which describes some of the important risk factors that may affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. You should carefully consider those risks, in
addition to the other information in this report and in our other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), before deciding to make an investment in our stock. You should also read Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk in Part II, Item 7A. below.

Overview

Microtune, Inc. was incorporated in 1996. We design and market receiver solutions for the cable, automotive entertainment electronics and
digital television (DTV) markets. These solutions include radio frequency (RF) integrated circuits (ICs), digital signal processing ICs and subsystem module solutions. Our product portfolio consists of tuners, amplifiers, upconverters, demodulators
and receivers, which permit the delivery, reception and exchange of broadband video, audio and data using terrestrial (off-air) and/or cable communications systems. Our tuner products shipped into the cable and DTV markets are in the form of ICs
while our tuner products shipped into the automotive entertainment electronics market are principally in the form of subsystem modules, but are expected to be increasingly in the form of ICs in the near future. Our amplifier products are principally
in the form of both ICs and subsystem modules and our upconverter products are principally in the form of subsystem modules, but also contain our ICs. Our demodulator and receiver products are in the form of ICs and are targeted principally for the
digital TV market.

Our products target various consumer electronics, broadband communications and
automotive entertainment electronics applications or devices, including cable television set-top boxes (STB); DOCSIS®-based, high-speed voice and data cable modems; car audio, television and antenna amplifier systems; integrated digital television systems (iDTV), including high-definition televisions (HDTV); digital-to-analog converter boxes; and personal
computer television (PC/TV) multimedia products. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and original design manufacturers (ODMs) who sell devices, subsystems and applications to consumers or service providers within the
cable, automotive entertainment electronics and DTV markets. We operate Microtune as a single business unit or reportable operating segment serving our target markets. We record our operating expenses by functional area and account type, but we do
not record or analyze our operating expenses by market, product type or product. We attempt to analyze our net revenue by market, but in some cases we sell our products to resellers or distributors serving multiple end markets, giving us limited
ability to determine market composition of our net revenue from these customers. In addition, certain of our OEM customers purchase products from us for applications in multiple end-markets, also limiting our ability to determine our net revenue
contribution from each market.

The cable, automotive entertainment electronics and DTV markets are intensely competitive and
historically have seen rapid changes in demand for specific products. Certain applications, such as PC/TV, within our target markets can be characterized as having short product life cycles due to rapid technological changes, relatively simple
application designs and aggressive competitive pricing. These factors can result in rapidly decreasing average selling prices, which we attempt to mitigate with our product cost reduction efforts and higher levels of integration and functionality.
The volatility of demand within our target markets makes it difficult for us to identify and discuss business trends or to predict future results.

Markets

The worldwide reliance on the internet; the transition from analog to digital transmission standards for both cable and terrestrial
television; the greater use of broadband, mobile and wireless communications; and the growing interrelation of televisions, personal computers, cable communications and the internet, coupled with an end-user desire for mobility, have fostered
dramatic changes in business and consumer electronics, broadband communications and automotive entertainment electronics. These drivers have propelled the development of new classes of products and new forms of entertainment and information, based
on innovative technologies that deliver better, faster and improved communications.



| |  | Cable
|- |  | -----

According to In-Stat, there are over 435 million digital cable households worldwide. During the last several years, the worldwide cable industry has evolved from a supplier of analog video
programming to a competitive provider of digital voice, data and video services, including ultra high speed telecommunications services, supporting high definition (HD) formats and DVR functionality. In-Stat predicts that over 250 million
households will be subscribing to digital video services by 2013.

In order to support these new services, cable service
providers continue to invest in new technology and infrastructure, to upgrade their networks to 1 GHz to deliver more channels to consumers; digital and HDTV programming; high-speed data communications; home networking; and two-way interactive
services, including digital telecommunications and on-demand services. As a part of this upgrade, cable service providers continue to deploy new classes of digital consumer equipment that allow users to access a range of enhanced services such as:



| |  |  | DOCSIS® 2.0
Modems: Cable modems and Embedded Multimedia Terminal Adapters (EMTAs) can be stand-alone devices or integrated into set-top boxes. DOCSIS® 2.0 cable modems enable high-speed internet service via two-way cable, while EMTAs enable Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) for digital phone service;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | DOCSIS® 3.0
Modems and IPTV Set-top Boxes: Cable operators in Japan, Korea, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Brazil, the U.S. and Canada have launched new channel-bonded DOCSIS® 3.0 services. As part of the new modems and IPTV set-top box solutions required for these new services, we provide wideband RF tuners, which have been included in
CableLabs® DOCSIS® 3.0 certified products.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | CATV Set-top Boxes: Digital interactive set-top boxes serve as the home access point for a number of video services, including HD and
standard-definition (SD) digital channels, analog channels and enhanced applications, such as digital video recording and video-on-demand services. In some deployments, the digital interactive set-top box is evolving into a home gateway,
a multifunctional box designed to serve as the distribution hub for home networked video, voice and/or data services.

The cable industrys adoption of industry standards, such as
CableLabs® standards for DOCSIS® (cable modems) and PacketCable EMTAs, as well as support for complementary standards, such as Tru2way to enable digital set-top box functionality in
television sets, has served as an additional catalyst to fuel the deployment of enhanced broadband services. These standards are designed to ensure interoperability between different manufacturers customer premise equipment and cable
infrastructure (headend) equipment products. They have stimulated a number of vendors to develop cost-effective, non-proprietary products that can operate efficiently and harmoniously in cable environments. New versions of the DOCSIS standard,
DOCSIS® 3.0 and Euro DOCSIS® 3.0 are designed to achieve data communications speeds of 160 Mbps downstream and 120 Mbps upstream, or higher, via the cable network. Earlier versions of the
standards only supported 30 to 40 Mbps in each direction. DOCSIS 3.0 cable modems require multiple and/or specialized cable tuners as well as a new generation of high performance upstream amplifiers. This new standard enables cable operators to
offer a more competitive, new class of ultra high speed telecommunications and business services. According to projections from Infonetics Research, total worldwide DOCSIS 3.0 cable subscribers are projected to exceed 20 million within the next
4 years.

We provide tuners and amplifiers for cable modems, EMTAs and set-top boxes, which support the two-way transmission
of data to and from the consumer and the cable operators headend. Multiple tuners are increasingly implemented in cable set-top boxes to support simultaneous viewing of one channel while recording a second channel using a DVR, on-demand
services and internet access.

Historically, we have seen the demand for our products in the cable market follow a seasonal
pattern, with the highest demand occurring during our fiscal second quarter and the lowest demand occurring during our fiscal fourth quarter resulting in a sequential decrease in net revenue from our fiscal third quarter. This seasonal pattern has
also influenced our total net revenue since our net revenue from the cable market has historically represented the majority of our total net revenue.



| |  | Automotive Entertainment Electronics
|- |  | ------------------------------------

Technology convergence and integration is beginning to impact the automotive industry. In the automotive entertainment
electronics market, for example, low-cost communications, navigation, information and entertainment technologies are combining with traditional in-car display and audio systems to create new applications and potential new markets for in-car systems.
Driven by consumer demand, new applications are rapidly evolving beyond the conventional car audio system to include digital sound systems, digital radio, such as DAB and HD radioTM, and a suite of applications that allow passengers to watch digital television and video and play interactive games.
These newer applications are expected to gain greater consumer acceptance during the next decade, driving continued market opportunity for providers of these products and services and for suppliers of the underlying technology.

Currently, the majority of our products sold into the automotive entertainment electronics market are utilized in car televisions and AM/FM
radios, primarily for European end markets. Demand for car television and newer digital radio is expected to grow rapidly as automakers offer a range of systems in more vehicles, moving from luxury cars into mid-priced models.

Data delivered via RF communications is integral to these emerging automotive entertainment electronics applications, and we provide
enabling technology, including AM/FM tuners, digital radio front-ends, antenna amplifiers and in-car television tuners, which are incorporated into automotive entertainment electronics subsystems to support these applications. Currently, we are
supplying module-based tuner products for radio applications and both silicon and module-based tuner products for in-car television and antenna amplifier applications. We recently announced silicon products for radio applications and expect the
transition to silicon products within this market to take several years, in part due to very long design cycles.

| |  | Digital Television
|- |  | ------------------

The worldwide transition to digital technologies represents a massive technology transformation. According to estimates by Informa and other market research firms, the number of households with digital
television will approach 500 million in 2010. On-going digital transitions throughout the world suggest robust demand for integrated DTV sets and set-top boxes for the next 3 to 5 years. As originally conceived, the idea of digital television
was to deploy improved bandwidth efficiency techniques to provide either a picture with much greater detail (e.g. HDTV) than that provided by an analog channel, or to provide multiple digital video streams within the bandwidth of an existing analog
channel. Any digital data, from digital video and audio to packetized internet data, can be broadcast using digital transmission.

The definition of terrestrial digital television is determined by standards adopted by various countries. For fixed terrestrial reception, the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) standard is deployed primarily in North
America and the Digital Video BroadcastTerrestrial (DVB-T) standard is implemented in Europe and other parts of the world. Japan and Brazil have adopted the Integrated Services Digital BroadcastTerrestrial (ISDB-T) standard for digital
terrestrial broadcast. China has recently taken steps to unify its domestic digital television schemes under the GB20600-2006 standard, also known as Digital Terrestrial Multimedia Broadcast (DTMB) or China Terrestrial Television Broadcast (CTTB).
In some cases, these same standards may also be suitable for and/or provide modes for mobile terrestrial reception, although there may also be separate standards for mobile reception (e.g. DVB-H in Europe, CMMB in China).

We provide tuners and demodulators used for the reception, tuning and processing of RF and digital signals for DTV products. Historically,
DTV customers have relied on subsystem module tuners for the RF front-end, either produced internally by the customer or purchased from a third-party. We expect DTV manufacturers will transition to next-generation silicon tuner technology in the
future due to cost, size and performance advantages as compared to subsystem module tuners and expect the complete transition from subsystem module tuners to silicon tuners to take several years.

Products

The applications
or devices associated with the cable, automotive entertainment electronics and DTV markets require levels of performance specific to various industry standards, power efficiency, functionality and integration, which must all be delivered with a low
overall solution cost. Our products are engineered to address the complex, high-performance RF requirements of broadband transmission and reception and the high performance requirements of video demodulation and decoding of broadcast signals.

We classify our products into two types: integrated circuit products or ICs (also referred to as silicon) and
subsystem-level RF solutions (called modules).



| |  | Integrated Circuit Products
|- |  | ---------------------------

We offer a product portfolio that includes:

MicroTuner Single-Chip Broadband Tuners

Our principal products are our single-chip MicroTuner IC tuners. In 1999, we introduced the worlds first broadband
television tuners with all active components implemented in a single microcircuit. We believe our MicroTuner chips are among the few single chip IC television tuners in high volume production today that incorporate all of the active elements of a RF
broadband tuner, including low-noise and intermediate frequency amplifiers. Our MicroTuner chips are based on both a patented architecture and multiple patented integrated circuit implementations.

##### Table of Contents

Silicon Amplifiers

We offer a family of amplifiers, including upstream amplifiers, Intermediate Frequency (IF) amplifiers and broadband antenna amplifiers, which can be used as companion products to our single-chip tuners,
or used separately. These products enable or support a variety of specialized functions, including high-speed upstream cable communications and the distribution of a broadband signal across multiple tuners. Our silicon amplifiers support these
functions by conditioning signals within the RF front-end and boosting them for distribution through a system. The amplifiers also enable two-way communications capability in cable access applications and provide downstream amplification in
automotive radio and in-car television applications.

Silicon Demodulators

We offer a family of demodulators that can be used in standalone end products or as companion products to our single-chip tuners. These
products represent the next component in the receiver chain after the tuner and take a single RF analog channel from the tuner and convert that signal into a digital stream that can be fed into the display electronics of a television, set-top box or
PC. Our products support these functions for different broadcast standards through efficient and proprietary architectures and algorithms.

MicroCeivers

We offer a very small, low-cost technology platform, named MicroCeiver, that is the
foundation for our next-generation of highly integrated receiver products for the digital TV and cable markets. Products based on this platform offer a complete RF-to-baseband solution by combining our RF analog tuner and demodulator technologies as
an integrated system in a single chip. The MicroCeiver technology is engineered to provide the building-block architecture for a new family of fully-integrated, front-end receivers, that will bring low cost, miniature footprints and excellent signal
reception quality to manufacturers creating next-generation digital televisions, set-top boxes, cable entertainment hubs and IP video electronics.

MicroDigitizers

We offer a new, highly integrated product called the MicroDigitizer, that is the
foundation for our next-generation products for the cable and automotive entertainment electronics market. This product combines the functions of a RF tuner and an advanced analog-to-digital converter in a single miniature chip. The MicroDigitizer
is a multi-standard, automotive-grade RF-to-digital converter optimized to work with generic, high-performance digital signal processors (DSPs) and multimedia processors enabling manufacturers to create next-generation car radio applications using
software defined radio (SDR) solutions. The MicroDigitizer technology is characterized by very high RF-to-bits performance, a high level of integration, low cost and very low profile and is designed to offer a global platform, increased design
flexibility, substantial cost efficiencies and a migration path to new standards and enhanced features.



| |  | Subsystem-Level RF Solutions
|- |  | ----------------------------

Our subsystem-level products, called modules, are RF tuners that are pre-assembled into tested, production-ready RF front-ends. Our subsystem solutions are available for multiple applications, including
analog and digital car radio, analog and digital in-car television, in-flight entertainment, automotive antenna amplifiers and cable system headend upconverters.

Some of our subsystem-level products contain our own IC components, which we believe provides a competitive advantage through high levels of functional integration. Our modules are pre-configured and
pre-tested for ready placement on motherboards, printed circuit boards or chassis.

Technology, Intellectual Property and Research and Development

We were founded in 1996 on a commitment to RF IC innovation. We have an established track record of introducing advanced products that
address emerging markets and serve customers in existing markets.

As of December 31, 2009, we had 174 technical
personnel. Our technical team represents one of our most important strategic and competitive assets. Our team, comprised of RF, analog and digital IC, systems, and product and test engineers and technicians, enables us to produce differentiated RF
IC and subsystem module solutions for applications in our targeted markets. Team members are located in our design centers in Plano, Texas; Plantation, Florida; Boulder, Colorado; San Jose, California; Shanghai, China and Ingolstadt, Germany.

We believe we have a strong intellectual property portfolio, which is of vital importance to our business as many of our
competitors are larger, more diversified companies with substantially greater financial resources. Our ability to protect our proprietary innovations from exploitation by our competitors is crucial to our future success. We have in the past and will
continue to vigorously pursue and maintain protection for the proprietary technology used in our products. Currently, we hold over 90 issued United States utility patents and have more than 30 additional United States patent applications pending.
Our issued United States patents begin to expire in 2015. Our patents generally cover various aspects of our RF and analog technologies at the broad architectural, circuit and building-block levels.

See Part IV, Item 15., Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules for our patent license agreement with Broadcom Corporation.

Our research and development expenses were $28.5 million, $25.9 million and $23.7 million for 2009, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. Of these amounts, stock-based compensation expense comprised $2.2 million, $1.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively. Currently, we internally sponsor all of our research and development activities except for certain third-party
technology that is used in our demodulator products. See Risk Factors in Item 1A. below. See Item 7., Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for a discussion of
research and development expenses.

Sales and Marketing

As of December 31, 2009, our worldwide sales organization consisted of 39 employees with offices located throughout the United States: Plano, Texas; Duluth, Georgia; Irvine, California; San Jose,
California and Raleigh, North Carolina, and in regional centers around the world: Ingolstadt, Germany; Taipei, Taiwan; Tokyo, Japan; Seoul, South Korea; Shenzhen, China and Basingstoke, United Kingdom. Our sales organization consists of technical
sales, service and customer support professionals and includes a field application engineering staff that is involved with customers during various phases of design and production. The field applications engineering function, located throughout our
worldwide sales offices, is a critical element in achieving customer design wins. We also provide customers with application engineering support from our systems engineering personnel based in Plano and Ingolstadt.

We centralize and manage sales for all of our products across each of our target markets under one worldwide sales organization. We
primarily sell our products directly to our customers and to a lesser extent via a network of distributors and independent sales representatives located around the world.

Historically, revenues from international markets have represented the majority of our total revenues. See Item 1A., Risk Factors for a description of this risk and other risks. See
Note 14, Geographic Information and Significant Customers to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of financial information by geographic area.

Backlog

Our sales are made primarily pursuant to standard purchase orders
for delivery of products. Industry fluctuations in the supply and demand balance for component parts result in frequent and potentially significant

##### Table of Contents

changes in the lead times provided by our customers when placing purchase orders. In addition, our standard terms and conditions typically provide that our customers may cancel orders scheduled
to ship outside 90 days and reschedule orders that are scheduled to ship outside 30 days. Although our backlog at the beginning of a quarter represents a significant portion of the net revenue we anticipate for that quarter, we do not believe that
backlog is a reliable indicator of future revenue levels.

Customers

We market and sell our ICs and subsystem module solutions directly to OEMs, ODMs and their suppliers who sell devices or
applications to consumers, other OEMs or service providers (cable) within the cable, DTV and automotive entertainment electronics markets. The devices or applications that our customers produce include cable television set-top boxes; DOCSIS®-based, high-speed voice and data cable modems; car audio, television and antenna amplifier systems; and
digital/analog television systems, including HDTV and PC/TV multimedia products. We also market and sell to third-party manufacturers and to distributors who sell directly to OEMs and ODMs. We engage with customers at multiple levels within their
organizations, provide design and systems services and applications engineering support, and align our product roadmaps to meet their product requirements.

We supplied our ICs and module products to more than 50 customers or their contract manufacturers worldwide during 2009, including the following:

Cable: Advanced Digital Broadcast, ARRIS, Cisco, Hitron, Humax, Motorola, Pace, Panasonic and Samsung.

Automotive Entertainment Electronics:Delphi Delco Electronics (formerly Fuba), Harman Becker Automotive Systems, Hirschmann Car

Geniatech, Hauppage, Innortech, Kinvon, Pace, Samsung, TiVo, Winstar and Yuan.

See Item 7., Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for a discussion of net revenue from significant customers and Item 1A., Risk Factors for a description of risks associated with our significant
customers.

Manufacturing

We use subcontractors for IC wafer production, die packaging and testing. This allows us to eliminate the high capital requirements of owning and operating semiconductor fabrication, packaging and test
facilities. It also enables us to focus on the design of our IC products as well as providing engineering support to our customers, where we believe we have the best opportunity to create and maintain a competitive advantage.

We have established relations with IC wafer foundries, IBM, TowerJazz, TSMC and X-FAB, to help ensure our future demands are in line with
their manufacturing technology roadmaps and capacities. These foundries offer mature BiCMOS and advanced CMOS production processes. In addition, IBM and TowerJazz offer silicon germanium (SiGe) process technology. Our reliance on third-party
suppliers involves risks such as reduced control over delivery schedules, quality assurance and fabrication costs and the risk of material supply disruptions. See Item 1A., Risk Factors for a description of risks associated with
reliance upon third-party suppliers.

We use Amkor in South Korea and in the Philippines, ASE in South Korea, Cirtek
Electronics in the Philippines and SPIL in China for IC packaging and final test. We use Criteria Labs in Austin, Texas for wafer probe and in Penrose, Colorado for tape and reel packaging. We also use ISE in Austin, Texas for wafer probe. We also
perform RF testing at our facility in Plano, Texas. Our reliance on these subcontractors and on certain third-party test equipment manufacturers involves risks such as reduced control over delivery schedules, quality assurance and other related
costs. See Item 1A., Risk Factors.

##### Table of Contents

During 2005, we entered into a five-year Manufacturing Agreement with Ionics EMS, Inc.
(Ionics), a leading provider of electronics manufacturing services in the Philippines. This agreement will expire in May 2010. We are exposed to manufacturing risks as a result of our dependence on a single manufacturing facility and a single
sub-contractor for our subsystem module solutions. In 2009, approximately 19% of our total net revenue was derived from the sale of our module products that were primarily manufactured by Ionics. See Item 1A., Risk Factors. We also
use Katek in Germany to build a small portion of our RF module products.

We place orders with our suppliers based on
forecasts of customer demand and, in some instances, we may establish buffer inventories to accommodate anticipated customer demand for our products. See Item 1A., Risk Factors.

Competition

The
semiconductor industry, in general, and the markets in which we compete, in particular, are intensely competitive and are characterized by rapid technological change, increasing degrees of component integration, evolving industry standards and price
erosion. Many of our competitors are larger, more diversified companies with substantially greater financial resources. Some of our competitors are also customers who have internal IC and RF subsystems design and manufacturing capability. We also
compete with smaller, emerging companies whose strategy is to sell products into specialized markets or to provide a portion of the products or product capabilities that we offer. We expect competition to continue to intensify as current competitors
expand their product offerings and new competitors enter our markets.

Although the specific basis on which we compete varies
by market, we believe that the principal factors common to all our markets are:



| |  |  | Conformity to industry standards;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------



| |  |  | Performance improvements;
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | Price reductions;

competitors in the digital television market include vendors of dedicated silicon demodulators including Altobeam, Guoxin, HDIC, Legend Silicon, LG, MaxScend, NXP Semiconductors, Silicon Labs,
SONY, STMicroelectronics and Trident, as well as vendors of DTV or set-top box systems on a chip (SOCs) that integrate silicon demodulator functions inside these SOCs, including Mediatek/MTK, MorningStar/Mstar, Renesas, Sanyo, STMicroelectronics and
Zoran.

Environmental Matters

International, federal, state and local requirements relating to the discharge of substances into the environment, the disposal of hazardous wastes and other activities affecting the environment may have
an impact on our operations. We believe that we are in material compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. To date, compliance with environmental requirements and resolution of environmental claims has been accomplished without
material effect on our liquidity or capital resources.

Beginning in July 2006, our product shipments into certain regions of
the world were required to conform to the European Unions directive for the restriction of certain hazardous substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment. All of our silicon products and applicable subsystem module solutions are
currently RoHS-compliant. See Item 1A., Risk Factors.

Employees

As of December 31, 2009, we had a total of 276 employees worldwide, including 174 in research and development, 39 in sales and marketing
and 63 in operations, finance and administration. Of these employees, 134 were located in the United States.



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

Our success depends on
the growth of the cable, automotive entertainment electronics and DTV markets generally, the demand for our products within these markets specifically and the success of our customers.

We derive our revenue from sales of our products into cable, automotive entertainment electronics and DTV applications or devices within the
cable, automotive entertainment electronics and DTV markets. These markets are characterized by:



| |  |  | intense competition;
| | - |  | --------------------



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



| |  |  | long design cycles; and
| | - |  | -----------------------



| |  |  | short product life cycles, especially in the PC and consumer electronics markets.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The cable, automotive entertainment electronics and DTV markets may not grow in the future as anticipated or a significant market slowdown
may occur. Further, demand for applications or devices that include our products or are targeted by our products, in particular, cable television set-top boxes; high-speed voice and data cable modems; car audio, television and antenna amplifier
systems; integrated digital televisions, including high-definition televisions; digital-to-analog converter boxes; and PC/TV multimedia products may not grow at a rate sufficient for us to sustain profitability, or our customers market share
may decline, even though demand in general is high, which would also adversely affect our financial results. Because of the intense competition in the cable, automotive entertainment electronics and DTV markets, the unproven technology of many
products addressing these markets and the short product life cycles of many consumer applications and devices, it is difficult to predict the potential size and future growth rate of the markets for our products. In addition, the cable, automotive
entertainment electronics and DTV markets are transitioning from analog to digital standards, as well as expanding to new services, such as interactive television, portable television and on-demand services. The future growth of our product markets
is dependent upon market acceptance of our customers applications and

##### Table of Contents

devices that incorporate our technologies and address the cable, automotive entertainment electronics and DTV markets, and we cannot assure you that our customers products and consequently,
our underlying technologies, will be accepted by any of the end customers in these markets. If the demand for our products is not as great as we expect, if we are unable to produce competitive products to meet that demand or if we are otherwise
unable to capitalize on market opportunities, we may not be able to generate revenue growth or profitability.

The current economic
slowdown has negatively impacted our business. A delay in economic recovery could have a negative impact on our business, potentially resulting in additional significant operating losses and a decrease in our net cash position. Cost control
activities may not be as successful as planned and reduced product development and customer design activity levels could result in decreased long-term business prospects.

The current economic slowdown is affecting all of our target markets and it is difficult to estimate the duration and significance of the
slowdown and the resulting negative impact on our business. Our ability to manage expenses to a level commensurate with reduced business levels is difficult given our reduced visibility and the fixed nature of certain expense categories.
Furthermore, due to the vital importance of research and development activities to our future product development, it could be difficult to reduce our research and development spending materially without jeopardizing our current position as an RF
technology leader. Consequently, our efforts to control and reduce expenses may not be enough to maintain profitability, and we may incur significant operating losses and use a portion of our cash reserves.

The negative impact on operating results may preclude us from paying cash incentive compensation which could negatively affect employee
morale. We may also see a continued negative impact on our stock price, significantly reducing or eliminating the financial benefit of long-term equity incentives, which could also negatively affect employee morale and impact our efforts at employee
retention.

We are dependent on our D&O insurance carriers for the reimbursement of certain ongoing and substantial legal expenses
incurred by certain former officers of the Company who are involved in litigation with the SEC related to its investigation into our historical stock option granting practices. Currently, approximately half of our $20 million policy has been
consumed by the defense of these individuals. Should the remaining coverage be exhausted, our financial results could be materially and adversely affected.

The exhaustion of our D&O insurance coverage could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Through December 31, 2009, we have received cumulative
reimbursements of $9.4 million and have a receivable of $1.4 million for amounts expected to be reimbursed by our directors and officers liability insurance carriers.

We depend on several significant customers for a substantial portion of our revenue. If we lose business from a significant customer, or if any of our significant customers lose market share in the
markets in which they compete, our results would be significantly adversely affected.

We have historically derived a
substantial portion of our revenue from sales to a relatively small number of significant customers and we expect this trend to continue. The loss of any significant customer would significantly harm our revenue. Net revenue from customers,
including sales to their respective manufacturing subcontractors, exceeding 10% of net revenue was as follows:

In light of uncertain economic recovery, our significant customers may curtail certain research and development spending which could impact the deployment of our latest generation products, which are designed to replace older technology
products. A decision by any of our significant customers to curtail certain research and development spending could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and future prospects.

Further, several existing and potential customers have substantial internal technological capabilities and could develop products internally
that compete with or replace our products. A decision by any of our significant customers to internally design and manufacture products that compete with our products could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
future prospects.

We believe that our future results of operations will continue to depend on the success of our significant
customers, on our ability to sell existing and new products to these customers in significant quantities and without significant price erosion and on our ability to diversify our customer base. To attract new customers or retain existing customers,
we may offer certain customers very attractive prices on our products, which could impact our overall pricing strategy. In that event, our average selling prices and gross margins would decline. Uncertain economic recovery could cause our customers
to ask for greater pricing concessions. The loss of a significant customer, a reduction in sales to any significant customer or a significant decrease in our sales prices made to retain a significant customer would adversely impact our revenue and
consequently our results of operations and financial condition.

We generate the vast majority of our net revenue and income from the cable
market. Market specific risks affecting the cable market could result in significantly decreased net revenue and income.

We face significant competition from other module and silicon tuner suppliers as we compete for business with certain key set-top box and high-speed cable modem manufacturers. Protecting our share of this market and our ability to capture
future growth opportunities in this market will depend on our ability to develop products that anticipate the needs of our customers, develop products in the timeframes required by our customers, and develop products at a cost that is attractive to
our customers. If we are not successful, we may lose share of this market, or potentially lose a significant customer, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our customers in the cable market face significant competition from other set-top box and high-speed cable modem manufacturers as they
target the business of key cable service providers on a global basis. We also rely on our customers abilities to develop products that meet the needs of the cable service providers, in terms of functionality, performance, availability and
price. If our customers do not successfully compete, they may lose market share, which would negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations.

Cable service providers face significant competition from communications carriers (including, in many cases, traditional telecommunications companies) and satellite service providers as they compete for
customers in terms of video, voice and data services. We are also dependent on the ability of the cable service providers to effectively compete against communications carriers and satellite service providers. If the cable service providers do not
successfully compete, they may lose market share, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Market specific risks affecting the iDTV, PC/TV and television peripheral market segments of the DTV
market could impair our ability to compete successfully in that market.

The market for DTV applications in iDTVs, PC/TVs
and television peripherals is characterized by various market-specific risks, any of which may adversely affect our ability to compete in that market.

Examples of market-specific risks affecting these market segments include:



| |  |  | the risk that module products that offer the same or similar functionality as our silicon solutions will continue to be used by OEMs and will be viewed
as more attractive by our current and potential customers, including the use by our potential customers of captive module suppliers due to more favorable economic terms;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risk that module products that offer the same or similar functionality as our silicon solutions will be sold at lower prices than our silicon
solutions;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risk that silicon products that offer the same or similar functionality as our silicon solutions will be sold at lower prices than our silicon
solutions by competitors willing to accept lower gross margins to obtain design wins;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risk that complex DTV or STB SOCs will integrate the demodulation function and be more readily accepted by the market than our standalone
demodulator solutions;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risk that the iDTV market will not be as large as anticipated or our share of the market will be lower than anticipated;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risk that the terrestrial STB market will not be as large as anticipated or our share of the market will be lower than anticipated;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risk that the PC/TV market will not be as large as anticipated or our share of the market will be lower than anticipated;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risk that performance requirements for the PC/TV market are less stringent and thereby increase the competitive element in this market;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risk that the suppliers of module products who currently sell products to television manufacturers that we are currently targeting with our silicon
solutions may lower their prices, including to levels below their cost, in order to protect their existing relationships, thereby making our silicon solutions uncompetitive from a customer cost perspective;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risk that we will be unable to develop silicon solutions that meet the performance requirements of our customers;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | risks related to systems integration and other risks, including the timing of open design windows, inherent in the highly complex design-in process of
the products designed to address this market;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risk that we will not be able to finalize the highly complex design-in process for a particular customer application during the narrow customer
design window;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risk that module products implementing our silicon solutions will not be selected by potential end customers due to the economics of the entire
module solution where other components are unattractively priced;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risk that our products will not have the feature set desired by our customers or will not be architecturally compatible with other components in
the customers designs;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risk that an influx of entrants into the DTV market due to the transition to all digital broadcasts will accelerate average selling price erosion;
and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risk that multi-standard, multi-band, universal television solutions will be preferred by DTV manufacturers and our multi-standard, multi-band,
universal television products may not meet performance expectations or be available in the necessary timeframe.

Our efforts to penetrate the DTV market, in particular, will depend on our ability to
overcome the challenges described above and upon eventual acceptance of our new DTV products. To the extent our efforts are adversely affected by any of these risks or are otherwise unsuccessful, we could experience a material adverse effect on our
business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

We operate in an intensely competitive business and many of our
competitors have significantly greater resources and operating flexibility, which allow them to compete effectively against us in existing markets and may affect our ability to enter or effectively compete in new markets.

The markets in which we compete are intensely competitive and are characterized by rapid technological changes, increasing degrees of
component integration, evolving industry standards and price erosion. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against current or new competitors. This competition has resulted and may continue to result in declining average
selling prices for our products and a corresponding reduction in our ability to recover research and development and manufacturing costs. We expect competition to continue to increase as industry standards become well known and as other competitors
enter our target markets. We compete with, or may in the future compete with, a number of major domestic and international suppliers of integrated circuit and system modules in the cable, automotive entertainment electronics and DTV markets. In most
cases, we compete directly against system module solutions or against other integrated circuit module substitute products similar to our own. In some cases, our product is used inside a system module, in which case we compete against a large number
of IC solutions providing various levels of integration. Companies providing system module solutions against whom we compete include captive and non-captive module suppliers such as Alps, Mitsumi, Panasonic Electronic Devices, Samsung
Electro-Mechanics, Sanyo, Sharp, Sony, Toshiba and TTE. Integrated circuit companies against whom we compete for designs within system modules or compete for discrete designs intended to replace system modules include Anadigics, Broadcom, Entropic,
Maxim, Maxlinear, NuTune, NXP Semiconductors and Xceive. Average selling prices for products offered by competitor tuner module manufacturers continue to erode substantially, causing our silicon product offerings to be less attractive to potential
customers and further limiting our design win opportunities, especially in the DTV market.

Many of our current and potential
competitors have advantages over us, including:



| |  |  | longer operating histories and established market positions in key markets;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | greater name recognition;
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | access to larger customer bases;
| | - |  | --------------------------------



| |  |  | significantly greater financial, sales and marketing, manufacturing, distribution, management, technical and other resources;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | existing relationships with potential customers as a result of the sales of other components, which can be leveraged into sales of products competitive
with our products;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | existing relationships with partners in joint ventures or investing activities, which can be leveraged into sales of products competitive with our
products; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | broader product and service offerings that may allow them to compete effectively by bundling their tuner products with their other products and
services, by legal or illegal means.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a result, our competitors may be able to adapt more quickly to new
or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements and may be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products which may harm our current market position and impact our ability to enter or compete
effectively in new markets. If we do not compete successfully, we may lose market share of our existing markets, our gross margins may fail to increase or may decline, and we may experience other material adverse effects on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

Our success is highly dependent on our relationships with our strategic IC partners.

Our RF products are designed to be interoperable with various specific demodulator integrated circuit products that are designed and
manufactured by other companies. Historically, we have relied on informal strategic relationships with various demodulator manufacturers to enable both parties to offer an interoperable tuner/demodulator solution to our mutual end customers.
Although we work in concert with our third-party demodulator partners to complete highly functional reference designs, we have no control over our partners future product plans and product roadmaps and could be effectively designed out of
future customer applications by the refusal of a demodulator partner to continue to support our products. Likewise, our ability to acquire new customers is highly dependent on the cooperation of third-party demodulator manufacturers. If such
third-party manufacturers decide to partner with our competitors or to provide their own tuner solution, we would effectively be prevented from selling our products to potential new customers. Additionally, if a strategic third-party demodulator
partner lacked the technical resources or expertise to complete a reference design in a timely fashion, we may lose an opportunity with a customer even though our tuner product was completed on time and was a compelling product to the customer.
Furthermore, our dependence on these third-party demodulator manufacturers often limits the strategic direction of the company. If we were to design products that were competitive with any of such demodulator manufacturers, they may choose to stop
working with us. Our recent acquisition of Auvitek, a supplier of advanced DTV demodulator ICs, may negatively impact our relationships with our demodulator partners. Additionally, certain of our demodulator partners may become insolvent in the
current economic environment. We often partner with companies that provide demodulation and/or decoding ICs for our mutual customers or partner with captive divisions within our customers. These partners have included AMD, Guoxin, Mediatek,
Micronas, Realtek, STMicroelectronics, Trident, Texas Instruments and Zoran.

If any of our current or prospective demodulator
partners were to stop working with us in favor of other tuner manufacturers or in favor of deploying their own tuner products or were to go out of business, we would be effectively designed out of current and potential customers products and
this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and our future prospects.

If we do not offer a
competitive solution for applications where competitors offer integrated tuner/demodulator products, we may lose significant market share to our competitors.

If we cannot offer an attractive solution for applications where our competitors offer fully integrated tuner/demodulator products, we may lose significant market share to our competitors. Certain of our
competitors have fully integrated tuner/demodulator solutions targeting high performance cable or DTV applications, and thereby potentially provide customers with smaller and cheaper solutions. We recently announced an integrated tuner/demodulator
solution for DTV applications and currently rely on strategic demodulator partners for cable applications.

The average selling prices of
our products will likely decrease over time. If the selling price reductions are greater than we expect, or if we are unable to effectively counter average selling price erosion through product cost reduction, our results of operations may be
adversely affected.

Historically, the average selling prices of our products have decreased over their lives. In addition,
as the markets for RF integrated circuit, demodulator and module products continue to mature, we believe that it is likely that the average unit prices of our products will decrease in response to competitive pricing pressures, increased sales
discounts, new product introductions, competitive product bundling and a transition in our markets from higher priced module products to lower priced integrated circuits. In addition, uncertain economic recovery could cause our customers to ask for
greater pricing concessions in response to pricing pressure from their end customers. To offset these decreases, we expect to primarily rely on achieving manufacturing cost reductions for existing products and introducing new products with higher
levels of integration and greater performance that can be sold at higher average selling prices.

Although we will seek to increase the sales of our higher margin products, our sales and
product development efforts may not be successful and our new products may not achieve market acceptance. In addition, our new higher margin products may not be attractive to our customers to the extent that greater levels of performance and
integration are not demanded by their end customers due to the current economic crisis. To the extent we are unable to reduce costs or sell our higher margin products, our results of operations may be adversely affected.

If we do not complete our design-in activities before a customers design window closes, we will lose the design opportunity, which could have a
material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and future prospects.

The timing of our design-in
activities with key customers and prospective customers may not align with their open design windows, which may or may not be known to us, making design win predictions more difficult. It may be difficult for us to determine our customers
design window timing. If we miss a particular customers design window, we may be forced to wait an entire year or even longer for the next opportunity to compete for the customers next design. Because the timing of our design-in
activities with key customers and prospective customers are not always aligned with these customers open design windows, it is extremely difficult for us to make design win predictions. Any failure to complete a design-in during a
customers design window may eliminate or substantially delay revenues from certain target customers and markets, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and future prospects.

Other solutions for the cable, automotive entertainment electronics and DTV markets compete with some of our solutions. If these solutions prove to be
more reliable, faster, less expensive or more popular than our solutions, the demand for our products and our revenue may decrease.

Some of our target market segments, such as cable modem and cable telephony services, are competing with a variety of non-RF based broadband communications solutions, including digital subscriber line (DSL) technology and certain fiber to
the home solutions. Many of these technologies compete effectively with cable modem and cable telephony services and do not require RF tuners like the ones that we sell. If any of these competing technologies are, or are perceived to be, more
reliable, faster, less expensive, able to reach more customers or have other advantages over RF broadband technology, the demand for our products may decrease, which would cause our revenue to decrease accordingly. Also, some of the consumer devices
that currently incorporate our products, e.g., televisions, may not use our products in the future. Such changes in device features or functionality could adversely affect our business, results of operations and future prospects.

Industry participants may consolidate or establish financial or strategic relationships, adversely impacting our ability to compete in our markets.

Consolidation by industry participants, such as acquisitions of our customers, suppliers or partners by our competitors, or
acquisitions of our competitors by our customers, suppliers or partners, could result in competitors with increased market share, larger customer bases, greater diversified product offerings and greater technological and marketing expertise, which
would allow them to compete more effectively against us. Current and potential competitors may also gain such competitive advantages by establishing financial or strategic relationships with existing or potential customers, suppliers or other third
parties. These new competitors or alliances among competitors could emerge rapidly and acquire significant market share. In addition, some of our suppliers or partners offer or may offer products that compete with our products. Further, we rely upon
some of our partners for certain joint reference design and marketing activities and some of our products are incorporated in some of our partners reference designs that are provided to potential customers. Depending on the participants,
industry consolidation or the formation of strategic relationships could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations by reducing our ability to compete successfully in our current markets and the markets we are seeking
to serve.

We expect our quarterly results of operations to continue to fluctuate.

Our quarterly results of operations have fluctuated significantly in the past and we expect such quarterly results to continue to fluctuate
significantly in the future due to a number of factors, many of which are not in our control. These factors may include:



| |  |  | unexpected dramatic decreases in customer demand due to the current economic crisis;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing, cancellation and rescheduling of significant customer orders, potentially with short notice periods;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability of our customers to procure the other necessary components for their end-products that utilize our products in order to conduct their
operations;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | pricing concessions on volume sales to particular customers for established time frames and our ability to respond to general downward pressure on the
average selling prices of our products;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | cyclical or seasonal slowdowns and general downturns in customer demand or related industry-wide increases in inventories;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to predict our customers demand for our products, manage production and inventory levels in response to product life cycles and other
factors and minimize the effects of obsolete or excessive inventory;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | design wins and changes in our product and customer mix;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | labor disputes at our subsystem module manufacturers facility in the Philippines or at any of our other subcontractors, which may cause temporary
slowdowns or shutdowns of operations;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | problems with our products that result in significant returns;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | inadequate allocation of wafer, assembly or test capacity for our silicon products by our subcontractors and/or allocation of components used in our
module products by our suppliers;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | inconsistent or non-linear quarterly revenue that may result from our entry into new markets or new consumer products because our customers may have
difficulty accurately determining the initial demand for their new products;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | acts of terrorism or military action occurring anywhere in the world; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | acts of God or force majeure.
| | - |  | -----------------------------

It is likely that our quarterly results of operations will be adversely affected by one or more of the factors listed above, or other factors. If our future results of operations fail to meet the
expectations of stock market analysts or investors, the market price of our common stock may decline.

Our research and development efforts
are critical to our business and if these efforts are unsuccessful, our business and results of operations will be adversely affected.

Any future success will depend, in large part, upon our ability to develop new products for existing and new markets, our ability to introduce these new products in a cost-effective and timely manner, and
our ability to meet customer specifications and convince leading manufacturers to select these new products for design into their new products. Developing new products and improving our existing products requires substantial continuing investments
of engineering resources. We have often encountered and continue to encounter difficulties attracting and retaining the highly sophisticated engineering personnel required to timely develop our products and meet our customers design windows.
In addition, the development of new products is highly complex and, from time to time, we have experienced delays in completing the development and introduction of new products. In addition, some of our new product development efforts are focused on
producing silicon products utilizing architectures and technologies with which we have little or no experience, and delivering performance

characteristics, such as low power consumption, at levels that we have not previously achieved. Our success at addressing our target markets will often depend on our ability to co-develop certain
integrated products with certain partners. These co-development efforts involve inherently higher development risk and because they involve third-parties, they provide us with less control over the development effort. In addition, some of our past
research and development efforts have failed. Successful product development depends on a number of factors, including:



| |  |  | the accuracy of our prediction of emerging market requirements and evolving standards;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the acceptance of our new product designs by our customers and of our customers products by their end customers and consumers;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the availability of qualified product designers and our ability to attract and retain them; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to successfully design, develop, manufacture and integrate new components to increase our product functionality in a timely manner.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Due to the relatively small size of our product design team, our research and development efforts in our
core technologies may lag behind those of our competitors, some of whom have substantially greater financial and technical resources. As a result of these factors, we may be unable to develop and introduce new products successfully and in a
cost-effective and timely manner, and any new products we develop and offer may never achieve market acceptance. These failures would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to order and shipment uncertainties with respect to our products, and if we are unable to accurately predict customer demand for these
products, we may incur excess or obsolete inventory, which would reduce our profit margin, or we may have insufficient inventory, which would result in lost revenue opportunities and potentially in loss of market share and damaged customer
relationships.

Our sales are typically made pursuant to individual purchase orders, and we generally do not have long-term
supply arrangements with our customers, including our most significant customers, in terms of volume of sales. Our standard terms and conditions (which do not apply to some of our key customers) typically provide that our customers may cancel orders
scheduled to ship outside 90 days. Further, our terms typically provide that customers may reschedule orders that are scheduled to ship outside 30 days, but customers typically are restricted to the number of days they can delay the ship date and
the number of times that they can reschedule orders. However, we have permitted customers to cancel orders less than 90 days before the expected date of shipment and to re-schedule shipments less than 30 days before the expected date of shipment,
with little or no penalty. We currently do not have the ability to accurately predict what or how many products our customers will need in the future. Anticipating demand is difficult because our customers face volatile pricing and unpredictable
demand for their own products and are increasingly focused on cash preservation and tighter inventory management. However, we place orders with our suppliers based on non-binding forecasts of customer demand and, in some instances, may establish
buffer inventories to accommodate anticipated demand. Our forecasts are based on multiple assumptions, each of which may introduce error into our estimates. If we overestimate customer demand, we may allocate resources to manufacturing products that
we may not be able to sell when we expect to, or at all. As a result, we would hold excess or obsolete inventory, which would reduce our profit margins and adversely affect our business and results of operations. Conversely, if we underestimate
customer demand or if insufficient manufacturing capacity is available, we would forego revenue opportunities and potentially lose market share and damage our customer relationships. In addition, any future significant cancellations or deferrals of
product orders or the return of previously sold products could materially and adversely affect our profit margins, increase product obsolescence and restrict our ability to fund our operations.

The sales cycle for our products is long, and we incur substantial non-recoverable expenses and devote
significant resources to sales that may not be realized when anticipated, if at all.

Our customers, and sometimes their
customers, typically conduct significant evaluation, testing, implementation and acceptance procedures before they purchase our products. These evaluation processes are frequently lengthy and may range from three months to one year or more. As a
result, we expend significant financial and human resources to develop customer relationships before we realize any revenue from these relationships. In fact, we may never realize any revenue from these efforts. In many situations, our customers
design their products to specifically incorporate our products, and our products must be designed to meet their stringent specifications. This process can be complex and may require significant engineering, sales, marketing and management effort on
our part. This process may also require significant engineering and testing by our customers and, if our customers do not have sufficient capabilities to complete the process, they may become dissatisfied with our products, and our business and
results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

We customize a substantial portion of our RF subsystem module products to
address our customers specific RF needs. If we do not sell our customer-specific products in large volumes, we may be unable to cover our fixed costs or may be left with substantial unsaleable inventory, which could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We manufacture a substantial portion of our RF subsystem
module products to address the unique needs of our individual customers. Frequent product introductions by systems manufacturers make our future success dependent on our ability to select development projects that will result in sufficient volumes
to enable us to achieve manufacturing efficiencies to cover our fixed costs. Because some of our customer-specific RF module products are developed for unique applications, we expect that some of our current and future customer-specific RF module
products may never be produced in sufficient volume to cover our fixed costs. In addition, if our customers fail to purchase these customized RF module products from us, we risk having substantial unsaleable inventory, which could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

A product recall by a major customer could materially adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We generally warrant our commercial products for a
period of one year, and longer for automotive entertainment electronics products. If a customer experiences a problem with our products and subsequently returns our products to us in large quantities for rework or replacement, the cost to us could
be significant and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Some of our
agreements with our customers contain line down clauses, product liability clauses and/or intellectual property warranty and indemnification clauses.

We are currently subject to line down clauses in contracts with certain automotive entertainment electronics customers. Such clauses require us to pay financial penalties if our failure to
supply product in a timely manner causes the customer to slow down or stop their production. Such penalties could be large and, if incurred, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We are also
subject to product liability clauses and/or intellectual property warranty and indemnification clauses in some of our customer agreements, and where we do not have agreements, we are subject to such default provisions in the relevant
jurisdictions embodiment of the Uniform Commercial Code. Such clauses and warranties require us to pay financial penalties if we supply defective product, which results in financial damages to the customer, or to indemnify the customer for
third-party actions based on the alleged infringement by our products of a third partys intellectual property. Such penalties or obligations could be large and, if incurred, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations.

Our inability to maintain or grow revenue from international sales could harm our financial results.

Net revenue from outside of North America was 70%, 68% and 64% for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We plan to increase our
international sales activities by adding international sales personnel, sales representatives or distributors. Our international sales will be limited if we cannot do so. Even if we are able to expand our international operations, we may not succeed
in maintaining or increasing international market demand for our products which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

A majority of our revenues have historically come from our international customers, and, as a result, our business may be harmed by political and economic conditions in foreign markets and the
challenges associated with operating internationally.

Historically, revenues from international markets have represented
the majority of our total net revenue. We expect net revenue from international markets to continue to represent the majority of our total net revenue for the foreseeable future. International business activities involve certain risks, including:



| |  |  | difficulties involved in the staffing and management of our geographically dispersed operations;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | longer sales cycles in certain countries, especially on initial entry into a new geographical market;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | greater difficulty evaluating a customers ability to pay, longer accounts receivable payment cycles and greater difficulty in the collection of
past-due accounts;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | general economic conditions in each country;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  |  | challenges associated with operating in diverse cultural and legal environments;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | seasonal reductions in business activity specific to certain markets;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | loss of revenue, property and equipment from expropriation, nationalization, war, insurrection, terrorism, drug trafficking and other political risks;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | foreign taxes and the overlap of different tax structures, including modifications to the United States tax code as a result of international trade
regulations;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | greater difficulty in safeguarding intellectual property;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | foreign technical standards;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | import and export licensing requirements, tariffs, and other trade and travel restrictions; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | existence or adoption of laws and regulations affecting the operation and taxation of our business and the general business climate for foreign
companies.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To the extent our international sales are adversely affected by any of these risks or are
otherwise unsuccessful, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We
extend credit to our customers, sometimes in large amounts, and there is no guarantee every customer will be able to pay our invoices when they become due. At various times, our accounts receivable is concentrated in a few customers.

As part of our routine business, we extend credit to customers purchasing our products. At December 31, 2009, approximately 55% of
our net accounts receivable was due from five of our customers. While our customers may have the ability to pay on the date of shipment or on the date credit is granted, their financial condition could change and there is no guarantee that customers
will ever pay the invoices.

Because all of our customers do not have the same credit terms, our outstanding accounts
receivable balance can become concentrated in a smaller number of customers than our overall net revenue. This concentration can subject us to a higher financial risk and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.

Our customers products are subject to governmental regulation.

Governmental regulation could place constraints on our customers and consequently reduce their demand for our products. The Federal
Communications Commission, or FCC, has broad jurisdiction over several of our target markets in the United States. Similar governmental agencies regulate our target markets in other countries. Although most of our products are not directly subject
to current regulations of the FCC or any other federal or state communications regulatory agency, much of the equipment into which our products are incorporated is subject to direct governmental regulation. Accordingly, the effects of regulation on
our customers or the industries in which they operate may, in turn, impede sales of our products. For example, demand for our products will decrease if equipment incorporating our products fails to comply with FCC specifications.

Our dependence on a single manufacturing facility and a single subcontractor for almost all of our subsystem module solutions could jeopardize our
operations.

The majority of our subsystem module solutions manufacturing operations are subcontracted to Ionics EMS, Inc.
(Ionics) under a manufacturing agreement entered into during 2005. This agreement expires in May 2010. Such operations are conducted at a single facility in Manila, Philippines. In 2009, approximately 19% of our total net revenue was derived from
the sale of our module products that were primarily manufactured by Ionics.

We are exposed to manufacturing risks as a result
of our dependence on a single manufacturing facility and a single sub-contractor for our subsystem module solutions. Such risks include lack of control over delivery schedules, manufacturing yields, quality and fabrication costs and the risk of
material supply disruptions due to labor disputes, terrorism, political unrest, war, process abnormalities, human error, theft, government intervention, or a natural disaster such as a fire, earthquake, or flood. If we encounter any significant
delays or disruptions, including those caused by our subcontractors inability to procure component parts or supply us with product, we may not be able to meet our manufacturing and testing requirements, which could cause a significant delay in
our ability to deliver our products, resulting in losses and potential enforcement of contractual line down clauses by our customers, potentially subjecting us to legal expenses and settlement payments. Additionally, our subcontractor
could decide not to renew the manufacturing agreement with us, elect to close its production facility or require us to move to another production facility or subcontractor. Any resulting delay could result in increased expense and costs and could
have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We depend on third-party wafer subcontractors to manufacture all
of our integrated circuit products, which reduce our control over the integrated circuit manufacturing process and could increase costs and decrease the availability of our integrated circuit products.

We do not own or operate a semiconductor fabrication facility. We primarily rely on IBM, TowerJazz, TSMC and X-FAB, outside subcontractors,
to produce most of our integrated circuit products. Our reliance on third-party suppliers involves risks such as reduced control over delivery schedules, quality assurance and fabrication costs and the risk of material supply disruptions. We do not
have a long-term supply agreement with our subcontractors and instead obtain manufacturing services on a purchase order basis. Our subcontractors have no obligation to supply products to us for any specific period or in any specific quantity, except
as set forth in a particular purchase order. Our requirements, generally, represent a small portion of the total production capacity of these subcontractors, and they may reallocate capacity to other customers even during periods of high demand for
our integrated circuits. If our subcontractors were unable or unwilling to continue manufacturing our integrated circuits, our business would be materially adversely affected. In such an event, we would be required to identify and qualify substitute
subcontractors, which would be time consuming and difficult, and may result in unforeseen manufacturing and operational problems. In addition, if competition for foundry capacity increases, our product costs may increase, and we may be required to
pay significant amounts to secure access to manufacturing services. If we do not qualify or receive supplies from additional subcontractors, we may be exposed to increased risk of capacity shortages due to our dependence on IBM, TowerJazz, TSMC and
X-FAB. In addition, the processing of our IC products is specific to the manufacturing processes of a given supplier and



24

##### Table of Contents

substantial lead-time would be required to move the specific product to another supplier, if it were possible at all. Although we have begun using TowerJazz as an alternate source for certain of
our IC products, there can be no assurance that the establishment of an alternate manufacturing source would successfully mitigate the risks identified above.

We depend on third-party subcontractors for integrated circuit probing, packaging and testing, which reduces our control over these processes and could result in increased costs and decreased
availability of our integrated circuit products.

Our integrated circuit products are probed, packaged, and/or tested by
independent subcontractors, including Amkor, ASE, Cirtek Electronics, ISE, SPIL and Criteria Labs, using facilities located in South Korea, Philippines, China and the United States. We do not have long-term agreements with these subcontractors and
typically obtain services from them on a purchase order basis. Furthermore, our subcontractors are dependent on certain third-party test equipment manufacturers. Our reliance on these subcontractors and on certain third-party test equipment
manufacturers involves risks such as reduced control over delivery schedules, quality assurance and costs. These risks could result in product shortages or increase our costs of probing, packaging and testing our products. If these subcontractors
are unable or unwilling to continue to provide probing, packaging and testing services of acceptable quality, at acceptable costs and in a timely manner, it could have a material adverse effect on our business. In such an event, we would be required
to identify and qualify substitute subcontractors, which could be time consuming and difficult and may result in unforeseen operational problems.

If our customers do not qualify our products or the manufacturing lines of our third-party suppliers for volume shipments, our revenue may be delayed or reduced.

Some customers will not purchase any of our products, other than limited numbers of evaluation units, prior to qualification of the
manufacturing lines for the product. We may not always be able to satisfy the qualifications. Delays or failure to qualify can cause a customer to discontinue use of our products and result in a significant loss of revenue. If we change third-party
suppliers, customers may require us to qualify the new suppliers facility, or a product manufactured by that facility.

We believe
that transitioning our silicon products to newer or better manufacturing process technologies will be important to our future competitive position. If we fail to make this transition efficiently, our competitive position could be seriously harmed.

We continually evaluate the benefits, on a product-by-product basis, of migrating to higher performance or lower cost
process technologies in order to produce higher performance, more efficient or better integrated circuits because we believe this migration is required to remain competitive. Other companies in the industry have experienced difficulty in migrating
to new process technologies and, consequently, have suffered reduced yields, delays in product deliveries and increased expense levels. We may experience similar difficulties. Moreover, we are dependent on our relationships with subcontractors to
successfully migrate to newer or better processes. Our foundry suppliers may not make newer or better process technologies available to us on a timely or cost-effective basis, if at all. If our foundry suppliers do not make newer or better
manufacturing process technologies available to us on a timely or cost-effective basis, or if we experience difficulties in migrating to these processes, it could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position and business prospects.

Uncertainties in our production planning process could have a material adverse effect on our business.

For many of our products, our manufacturing lead-time is greater than the delivery lead-times we quote our customers. Therefore, in many
cases we routinely manufacture or purchase inventory based on estimates of customer demand for our products, which demand is difficult to predict. The cancellation or re-scheduling of product orders, the return of previously sold products or
overproduction due to the failure of anticipated orders to materialize could result in our holding excess or obsolete inventory that could substantially harm our business,

financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our inability to produce and ship products to our customers in a timely manner could harm our reputation and damage our relationships
with our customers.

The semiconductor industry is cyclical. If there is a sustained upturn in the semiconductor market, there could be a
resulting increase in demand for foundry and other subcontracted services, significantly reducing product availability and increasing our costs.

The semiconductor industry periodically experiences increased demand and production capacity constraints. An increase in demand for semiconductors could substantially increase the cost of producing our
products, and consequently reduce our profit margins. As a result, we may experience substantial period-to-period fluctuations in future results of operations due to general semiconductor industry conditions.

Our business may be harmed if we fail to protect our proprietary technology.

We rely on a combination of patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secret laws, confidentiality agreements and procedures and licensing
arrangements to protect our intellectual property rights. We currently have patents issued and pending in the United States and in foreign countries. We intend to seek further United States and international patents on our technology. We cannot be
certain that patents will be issued from any of our pending applications, that patents will be issued in all countries where our products can be sold or that any claims will be allowed from pending applications or will be of sufficient scope or
strength to provide meaningful protection or commercial advantage. While we generally seek patent protection for our innovations, it is possible that some of these innovations may not be protectable. If our patents do not adequately protect our
technology, our competitors may be able to offer products similar to ours. Our competitors may also be able to develop similar technology independently or design around our patents.

In addition, even when we do hold valid patents that we could potentially assert against a competitors infringing products, it may not
be practicable, effective or cost-efficient for us to enforce our intellectual property and contractual rights fully, particularly, where the initiation of a claim might harm our business relationships or risk a debilitating countersuit by a
competitor with patents that may read on our products.

Our competitors also may be able to design around our patents. The
laws of some countries in which our products are or may be developed, manufactured or sold, including various countries in Asia, may not protect our products or intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States,
increasing the possibility of piracy of our technology and products.

In addition to patent and copyright protection, we also
rely on trade secrets, technical know-how and other non-patented proprietary information relating to our product development and manufacturing activities, which we seek to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements with our customers, partners,
suppliers and employees. We cannot be certain that our confidentiality agreements will not be breached, that we would have adequate remedies for any such breach or that trade-secrets and proprietary know-how will not otherwise become known by
others. Although we intend to protect and vigorously defend our intellectual property rights, we may not be able to prevent misappropriation of our technology. Our competitors may also independently develop technologies that are substantially
equivalent or superior to our technology.

Despite our efforts and procedures to protect our intellectual property through the
prosecution of patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets and other methods, we cannot assure you that our current intellectual property or any intellectual property we may obtain through acquisitions or by other means will be free from
third-party claims which may be valid. Any third-party claims may lead to costly and time-consuming litigation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

##### Table of Contents

Our efforts to protect our intellectual property may cause us to become involved in costly and lengthy
litigation that could seriously harm our business and compromise our intellectual property position.

We have been involved
in intellectual property litigation in the past and may become involved in intellectual property litigation in the future to protect our intellectual property or defend against allegations of infringement asserted by others. Legal proceedings could
subject us to significant liability for damages or invalidate our proprietary rights either through litigation or a petition for USPTO re-examination initiated by a competitor. Any litigation, regardless of its outcome, would likely be
time-consuming and expensive to resolve and would divert the time and attention of our management and technical personnel.

The expense associated with intellectual property litigation, the diversion of time and attention of our management and technical personnel from our daily operations caused by such litigation and any legal limitation placed upon our
products and/or our business related to such litigation may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Furthermore, we have initiated, and may initiate in the future, claims or litigation against third-parties for infringement of our proprietary rights or to establish their validity. Even if we successfully assert our intellectual property
against a competitor in litigation, our patents may be challenged through a USPTO re-examination, which cannot be settled by the mutual agreement of the parties.

Our ability to sell our products may be adversely affected if it is determined that we or our customers infringe on the intellectual property of a third-party or if any of our issued patents are
determined to be invalid.

The electronics industry is characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit of intellectual
property rights and positions, which may result in significant and often protracted and expensive litigation. Our customers may be subject to infringement claims for their products which incorporate our products. If any claims of infringement are
made against any of our customers, our customers may seek to involve us in the litigation and demand indemnification from us. The resolution of such a claim against our customer may cause our customer to reduce or completely eliminate marketing its
infringing product, which would decrease our sales of products to this customer. Further, if our customer were to prevail in its claim for indemnification against us, or if we were found to infringe any third-party intellectual property, we could be
required to:



| |  |  | pay substantial damages and royalties on our historical and future product sales;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | indemnify our customers for their legal fees and damages paid;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | stop manufacturing, using and selling the infringing products;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | expend significant resources to develop non-infringing technology;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | discontinue the use of some of our processes; or
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | obtain licenses to the infringed intellectual property to sell or use the relevant technology, which may not be available on commercially reasonable
terms, if at all.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We may be unsuccessful in developing non-infringing products or obtaining licenses upon
commercially reasonable terms. We may be unable to resolve these problems which could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We sometimes rely on third parties to provide technology that is used in our demodulator products. In the future, we may license third-party intellectual property to speed our product development
efforts. Any failure of our vendors, suppliers or licensors to provide this technology could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We incorporate third-party technology into and with some of our products, and we may make greater use of licensed third-party technology in our future products. The operation of our products could be
impaired if errors



27

##### Table of Contents

occur in the third-party technology we use. It may be more difficult for us to correct any errors in a timely manner if at all because the development and maintenance of the technology is not
within our control and because we may not have the expertise to make corrections to these errors. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that these third parties will continue to make their technology, or improvements to the technology, available to
us, or that they will continue to support and maintain their technology. Further, due to the limited number of vendors of some types of technology, it may be difficult to obtain new licenses or replace existing technology. Once third-party
technology is incorporated into our product designs, we are extremely dependent on that technology for the life of the product. If we were forced to stop utilizing that third-party technology, our product may immediately become obsolete or
unsalable. Additionally, using third-party intellectual property puts us at risk of intellectual property litigation related to this technology and our third-party technology providers may not be able to indemnify us fully in the event of any such
litigation. Any impairment of the technology or our relationship with these third parties could have a material adverse effect on our business.

If we do not anticipate and adapt to evolving industry standards in the cable, automotive entertainment electronics and DTV markets, or if industry standards develop faster or slower than we expect, our products could become obsolete and
we could lose market share.

Applications and devices for cable, automotive entertainment electronics and DTV markets often
are based on industry standards that are continuously evolving. We have often directed our development toward producing products that comply with these evolving standards. In some cases, the development of these standards takes longer than
originally anticipated. The delayed development of a standard in our target markets has and could result in slower deployment of new technologies, which could harm our ability to sell our products, or frustrate the continued use of our proprietary
technologies, due to the anticipation of the deployment of a standard. The acceleration or delay in the development of these industry standards could result in fewer manufacturers purchasing our products in favor of continuing to use the proprietary
technologies designed by our competitors. Such accelerated or delayed development of industry standards and the resulting accelerated or delayed deployment of new technologies would result in diminished and/or delayed revenue and consequently harm
our business. Additionally, our competitors may attempt to relax anticipated standards that we have expended significant research and development funds to meet, thereby eliminating any technical advantages that our products may have. Further, if new
unexpected industry standards do emerge, and we have failed to accurately anticipate or design products that meet such standards, our products or our customers products could become unmarketable or obsolete.

Our ability to adapt to changes and to anticipate future standards and the rate of adoption and acceptance of those standards is a
significant factor in maintaining or improving our competitive position and prospects for growth. Our inability to anticipate the evolving standards for our products in the cable, automotive entertainment electronics and DTV markets, or to develop
and introduce new products that are functionally and economically competitive into these markets, could result in diminished revenue and, consequently, harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we may incur
substantial unanticipated costs to comply with these evolving standards.

We have experienced volatility in our stock price and it may
fluctuate in the future. Therefore, you may be unable to resell shares of our common stock at or above the price you paid for them.

The market price of our common stock has fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future. For example, during 2009, our common stock traded at prices as low as $1.32 and as high as $2.65 per share. Such fluctuations may
be influenced by many factors, many of which are outside of our control, including:



| |  |  | quarterly variations in our financial performance;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our business prospects;
| | - |  | -----------------------



| |  |  | the performance and prospects of our major customers;

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

Public stock markets have experienced, and are currently experiencing as a result of the current economic crisis, extreme price and trading
volume volatility, particularly in the technology sectors of the market. This volatility has significantly affected the market prices of securities of many technology companies for reasons frequently unrelated to or disproportionately impacted by
the operating performance of these companies. These broad market fluctuations may materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In addition, fluctuations in our stock price and our price-to-earnings multiple may have made our
stock attractive to momentum, hedge or day trading investors who often shift funds into and out of stocks rapidly, exacerbating price fluctuations in either direction, particularly when viewed on a quarterly basis.

Currency fluctuations related to our international operations could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

A significant portion of our international revenue and expenses are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, and we have
experienced significant fluctuations in our financial results due to changing exchange rates rather than operational changes. For example, the foreign currency exchange loss was $0.2 million in 2009. We expect to continue to rely significantly on
international sales and foreign subcontractors for the foreseeable future. As a result, we expect currency fluctuations to continue, and such fluctuations may significantly impact our financial results in the future. Currently, we do not engage in
currency hedging activities, and in the future, we may choose to engage in currency hedging activities to reduce these fluctuations, which may or may not prove to be successful.

Any future stock repurchase programs may not enhance long-term stockholder value, could increase the volatility of the price of our common stock and diminish our cash reserves.

Any future repurchases pursuant to a stock repurchase program could affect our stock price and increase its volatility. The existence of a
stock repurchase program could also cause our stock price to be higher than it would be in the absence of such a program and could potentially reduce the market liquidity for our stock.

Additionally, a stock repurchase program would diminish our cash reserves, which could impact our ability to pursue strategic opportunities
and acquisitions and could result in lower overall returns on our cash balances.

There can be no assurance that any future
stock repurchases would enhance stockholder value because the market price of our common stock may decline below the levels at which we repurchased shares of stock. Although a stock repurchase program is intended to enhance long-term stockholder
value, short-term stock price fluctuations could reduce any programs effectiveness.

Our results of operations were and may continue
to be adversely impacted by the worldwide macroeconomic downturn. As a result of this adverse impact on our business and general investor concern regarding the current economic crisis, the market price of our common stock may be negatively impacted.

In late 2008 and during 2009, general worldwide economic conditions experienced a downturn due to the effects of the
lending crisis, general credit market crisis, collateral effects on the finance and banking industries, volatile energy costs, concerns about inflation, slower economic activity, decreased consumer confidence,

##### Table of Contents

reduced corporate profits and capital spending, adverse business conditions and liquidity concerns. These conditions made it difficult for our customers, our vendors and us to accurately forecast
and plan future business activities, and caused U.S. and foreign businesses to slow spending on our products, which delayed and lengthened sales cycles. Forecasted demand of many of our customers declined in 2009 and as a result, we experienced
order push-outs and cancellations. We cannot predict the timing or duration of any economic slowdown or the timing or strength of a subsequent economic recovery, worldwide or in the semiconductor industry, generally, or in the cable, automotive
entertainment electronics or DTV markets specifically. If the cable, automotive entertainment electronics or DTV markets continue to significantly deteriorate due to these macroeconomic effects, our business, financial condition and results of
operations will likely be materially and adversely affected. Additionally, our stock price could decrease if investors have concerns that our business, financial condition and results of operations will be negatively impacted by a worldwide
macroeconomic downturn.

We may need to obtain capital required to grow our business.

From time to time, we may find it necessary or we may choose to seek additional financing if our strategic growth plans change, or if
industry or market conditions are favorable for a particular type of financing. Our capital requirements depend upon several factors, including the need to fund future acquisitions, the capital required to meet our research and development
objectives, the rate of market acceptance of our products, our ability to expand our customer base, our level of expenditures for sales and marketing, the cost of product and service upgrades and other factors. If our capital requirements vary
materially from those currently planned, we may require additional financing sooner than anticipated. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional funds if needed. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or
convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced. Further, if we issue equity securities, the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of common
stock. If we issue debt securities, the debt securities generally will have rights senior to those of existing holders of equity securities. If we cannot raise needed funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to acquire strategic businesses,
develop our products and services, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to grow our business.

Our business could be disrupted if we are unable to successfully integrate any businesses, technologies, product lines or services that we may acquire in
the future.

As part of our business strategy, we may review and selectively pursue potential acquisitions that could
complement our current product offerings, augment our market coverage, complement our technical capabilities, or that would otherwise provide growth opportunities. We may make strategic acquisitions or investments or enter into joint ventures or
strategic alliances with other companies in the future, which may entail many risks. Specific examples of risks that could relate to such transactions include:



| |  |  | risks that we will be unable to successfully integrate the acquired companys personnel and businesses;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | risks that we will be unable to realize anticipated synergies, economies of scale or other value associated with the transactions;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | risks related to acquisition-related charges and amortization of acquired technology and other intangibles that could negatively affect our reported
results of operations;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | risks that such transactions will divert managements time and attention and disrupt our ongoing business;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | risks that we will be unable to retain key technical and managerial personnel of the acquired company;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | risks that we will be unable to establish and maintain uniform standards controls, procedures and policies;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, future acquisitions or investments may require us to materially reduce our cash reserves, issue additional equity, which would
be dilutive to our stockholders, or to incur debt. We cannot assure you that any acquisition or joint venture will be successfully integrated with our operations and the failure to avoid these or other risks associated with such acquisitions or
investments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our Quality
Certifications are subject to periodic re-evaluation.

Our design facility located in Ingolstadt, Germany is currently
ISO-9001:2000 and ISO-14001 certified. These certifications and others are subject to recertification on a periodic basis. If we are unable to obtain any such recertification, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our products are subject to certain environmental standards.

Beginning in July 2006, our product shipments into certain regions of the world were required to conform to the European Unions directive for the restriction of certain hazardous substances (RoHS)
in electrical and electronic equipment. All of our silicon products and applicable subsystem module solutions are currently RoHS-compliant. We currently ship certain modules containing lead under waivers allowed under the RoHS directive. If these
customers cannot continue sourcing these products under conditions of the RoHS directive, and if they are unable to re-quality the lead-free versions of these products or our subsystem module manufacturers are unable to meet the RoHS/lead-free
standards in a timely manner, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our
international operations, including our operations in Germany, Japan, Taiwan, China, South Korea and the United Kingdom, the operations of our international suppliers and our overall financial results may be adversely affected by events that occur
in or otherwise affect these countries.

We currently have facilities and suppliers located outside of the United States,
including research and development operations in Germany and China and sales offices in Japan, Taiwan, China, South Korea and the United Kingdom. Other than IBM, TowerJazz, ISE and Criteria Labs, substantially all of our suppliers are located
outside the United States, and substantially all of our products are manufactured outside the United States. As a result, our operations are affected by the local conditions in those countries, as well as actions taken by the governments of those
countries. For example, if the Philippines government enacts restrictive laws or regulations, or increases taxes paid by manufacturing operations in that country, the cost of manufacturing our products in the Philippines could increase
substantially, causing a decrease in our gross margins and profitability. In addition, if any country, including the United States, imposes significant import restrictions on our products, our ability to import our products into that country from
our international manufacturing and packaging facilities could be diminished or eliminated. Local economic and political instability in areas in the Far East, in particular in the Philippines, China and South Korea, where there has been political
instability in the past, could result in unpleasant or intolerable conditions for workers, and ultimately could result in a shutdown of our facilities or our subcontractors facilities.

Our success could be jeopardized by the loss of key personnel or an inability to attract qualified
candidates.

Any success we may have in the future, including our ability to grow and support future customers, will depend
to a significant degree upon the continued service of our personnel, particularly our key personnel and executive management. The members of our executive management team are not generally parties to employment agreements with Microtune. The loss of
one or more members of our executive management team or other key personnel could have an adverse effect on our operations.

Our future success also depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel with experience in RF engineering, integrated circuit design and software and technical marketing and support. We are extremely dependent on
certain key engineering personnel. Should we lose one or more of these key engineering personnel, it would have a material adverse effect on our ability to design our products and support our customers.

Additionally, if we do not meet any future hiring targets, we may be unable to support our key prospective customers and we may lose the
ability to enter large emerging markets, resulting in a material adverse effect on our future prospects. We rely heavily upon equity compensation incentives, such as equity awards to purchase or receive our common stock to attract, retain and
motivate such personnel. The equity incentives of our competitors and other elements of our competitors compensation structures, particularly cash compensation, may be significantly more attractive than the compensation packages we offer. In
addition, due to the current market price of our common stock, most, if not all, of our outstanding stock option awards are out-ofthe-money, further hampering our ability to retain our personnel.

With respect to retaining personnel, the market price of, or other price attainable for, our common stock directly affects the relative
attractiveness and effectiveness of our equity awards as a recruiting and retention tool. In the past, our common stock price has been substantially higher than currently prevailing prices. Any future poor operating performance we experience may
cause the price of our common stock to decline from current levels. A lower market price of our common stock, along with any related deterioration in the morale of our personnel regarding this component of their compensation, may result in our loss
of personnel, including key personnel and executive management. These personnel losses could reasonably be expected to have a prompt, material and adverse effect on our business and operations.

Additionally, we may have to explore the possibility of opening design centers in locations where attractive candidates prefer to live. In
prior years, we opened design centers in Plantation, Florida and in Boulder, Colorado in order to acquire additional engineering talent. To the extent we pursue the strategy of opening additional remote locations, our cost structure may increase at
a higher rate than if attractive candidates were employed at existing facilities.

Finally, our recent reduction in force and
restructuring, which was announced in October 2009, may negatively impact the morale of our remaining key engineering personnel and make them more likely to entertain offers of employment from our competitors. Our competitors routinely attempt to
hire our key engineering personnel and we noticed increased recruitment efforts immediately following the public announcement of our reduction in force.

The competition for attracting qualified candidates is intense, particularly in the RF silicon and RF systems industries. Our ability to attract qualified candidates is essential to any success we may
have in the future. For the reasons described above, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified technical, management, and other candidates necessary for the design, development, manufacture
and sale of our products in the future.

Provisions in our charter documents, Delaware law and our stockholder rights plan may deter takeover
efforts and limit the ability of our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock.

Several
provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation, Delaware law and our stockholder rights plan may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that you may consider favorable and therefore may prevent our stockholders from receiving
a premium for their shares of our common stock.

Those provisions include:



| |  |  | a provision authorizing the issuance of blank check preferred stock;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a provision prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a provision limiting the persons who may call special meetings of the Board of Directors or the stockholders;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a provision prohibiting stockholder action by written consent;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a provision establishing advance notice requirements for nominations for election to the Board of Directors or for proposing matters that can be acted
on by stockholders at stockholder meetings;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a provision establishing super-majority voting requirements in some instances; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a provision providing rights to purchase fractional shares of preferred stock to our existing stockholders in the event of certain acquisition
attempts.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On May 25, 2005, our stockholders approved certain amendments to our amended and restated
certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws that had the effect of declassifying our Board of Directors so that all of our directors must stand for election every year at our annual meeting of stockholders. The declassification of
our board of directors was a requirement of our settlement in 2005 of certain consolidated derivative stockholder litigation.

The
investigation by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors into our historical stock option granting practices and the restatement of our consolidated financial statements resulted in derivative litigation, an investigation by the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission and litigation by the SEC against two of our former officers. The cost of the SEC litigation could harm our financial condition and results of operations.

On July 27, 2006, we announced that the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, was
conducting a review of our stock option granting practices covering the time from our initial public offering in August 2000 through June 2006.

On January 22, 2007, we filed with the SEC certain restated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005, as well as unaudited interim
financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

On January 31, 2007, a purported stockholder derivative
lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of TexasSherman Division against current and former officers and directors of Microtune and against Microtune, as a nominal defendant, alleging various breaches of
fiduciary duties, conspiracy, improper financial reporting, insider trading, violations of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the
Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, unjust enrichment, gross mismanagement, abuse of control, and waste of corporate assets related to the historical stock option granting practices of Microtune. This litigation was dismissed
by the court on June 27, 2008.

We announced on June 30, 2008 that we had reached a settlement with the SEC relating
to the SEC investigation into our historical stock option granting practices. We agreed to settle with the SEC, without



33

##### Table of Contents

admitting or denying the allegations in the SECs complaint, by consenting to the entry of permanent injunction against future violations of the federal securities laws. We were not required
to pay any civil penalty or other money damages as part of the settlement. The SEC also filed suit against Douglas J. Bartek, our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who resigned in June 2003, and Nancy A. Richardson, our former Chief
Financial Officer and General Counsel, who resigned in March 2004, alleging various violations of the U.S. securities laws related to our historical stock option granting practices. The suit against Mr. Bartek and Ms. Richardson is still
pending and due to our potential indemnification obligations to such persons, we have advanced a significant amount for legal fees. In the event that such litigation matters continue, the costs incurred could have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations and financial position.

We are at risk of future securities class action and stockholder derivative litigation.
Litigation filed in the future could result in substantial costs to us, drain our resources and divert our managements time and attention.

Securities class action and stockholder derivative complaints could be filed against us in the future. Any such litigation could result in significant defense costs, reductions in our cash balances,
distractions to management and could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

There is no guarantee that
our insurance coverage, including our directors and officers liability insurance, will be sufficient to cover any potential liability and any shortfall in insurance coverage would impact our cash position which could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition.

We purchase various insurance policies to cover specifically designated risks
in varying amounts. There is no guarantee that when a claim arises under any of the covered risks that our coverage will be sufficient to cover the entire claim or that any specific claim will be covered, even in part, by insurance. Specifically, if
the SEC is the prevailing party in the current ongoing litigation against two of our former officers, our insurance carrier may demand the repayment by Microtune of previously reimbursed legal expenses incurred by the former officers in the defense
of this litigation. Furthermore, directors and officers liability insurance may not be available to us in sufficient amounts to cover any claims made or defense costs incurred if securities litigation is filed against us in the future.
These factors may result in rapid and substantial depletion of our cash reserves, and this depletion may result in our inability to properly operate our business and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Our business could be negatively affected as a result of a threatened proxy fight and other actions of activist stockholders.

On December 23, 2009, an activist stockholder group declared its intention to nominate four individuals for election to replace members
of our Board of Directors at the 2010 annual stockholders meeting. We are currently in discussions with such group, however, if an agreement is not reached, our business could be adversely affected because:



| |  |  | responding to proxy contests and other actions by activist stockholders can be costly and time-consuming, disrupting our operations and diverting the
attention of management and our employees;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | perceived uncertainties as to our future direction may impact our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel and affect existing and potential
collaborations or strategic relationships; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | if individuals are elected to our Board of Directors with a specific agenda, it may adversely affect our ability to effectively and timely implement
our strategic plans, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These actions could cause our stock price to experience periods of volatility.

Our common stock is traded on The NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol TUNE. The following table shows the range of quarterly
high and low sales prices from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2009. On February 5, 2010, the closing price of our common stock was $2.20 as quoted on The NASDAQ Global Market.

As a result of both
investor concern and uncertainty in demand for our products due to the current economic crisis, the market price of our common stock has declined significantly and may continue to decline. In addition, we believe factors such as quarterly
fluctuations in results of operations; announcements by us, our competitors or our customers; technological innovations; new product introductions; governmental regulations; litigation or changes in earnings estimates by analysts may cause the
market price of our common stock to fluctuate, perhaps substantially. The stock prices of many technology companies fluctuate widely for reasons that may be unrelated to their operating results. The broad market and industry fluctuations may also
adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

The following table presents information with respect to our purchases
of our common stock during the fourth quarter of 2009:

NOTE: For a more complete understanding of our financial condition and results of operations, and the risks that could affect our future
results, see Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A., which describes some of the important risk factors that may affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. You should carefully consider those risks, in addition to
the other information in this report and in our other filings with the SEC, before deciding to make an investment in our stock. You should also read Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in Part II, Item 7A.

You should also read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data in Item 8.

OVERVIEW

We design and market receiver solutions for the cable, automotive entertainment electronics and DTV markets. We operate Microtune as a single business unit or reportable operating segment serving our
target markets. We record our operating expenses by functional area and account type, but we do not record or analyze our operating expenses by market, product type or product. We attempt to analyze our net revenue by market, but



39

##### Table of Contents

in some cases we sell our products to resellers or distributors serving multiple end-markets, giving us limited ability to determine market composition of our net revenue from these customers. In
addition, certain of our OEM customers purchase products from us for applications in multiple end-markets, also limiting our ability to determine our net revenue contribution from each market.

We monitor and analyze a number of key financial performance indicators in order to manage our business and evaluate our financial and
operating performance. Those indicators include:



| |  |  | Net Revenue: Our net revenue is generated principally by sales of our ICs and subsystem module products directly to OEMs and ODMs who sell
devices or applications to consumers or service providers within the cable, automotive entertainment electronics and DTV markets. The devices or applications that our customers produce include cable television set-top boxes; DOCSIS®-based high-speed voice and data cable modems; car audio, television and antenna amplifier systems; integrated
digital television (iDTV) systems, including high-definition televisions (HDTV); digital-to-analog converter boxes; and personal computer television (PC/TV) multimedia products. We also market and sell to third-party manufacturers and to
distributors who sell directly to the OEMs and ODMs. The majority of our net revenue is generated through the efforts of our sales organization. However, we generated approximately 11%, 14% and 10% of our net revenue from sales made to distributors
in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in net revenue from sales made to distributors in 2009 was due to increased shipments in 2008 of silicon tuner products for the nonrecurring CECB market segment. Our net revenue varies based upon
economic and market conditions in the semiconductor industry and our target markets; the timing, rescheduling or cancellation of customer orders; our ability, as well as the ability of our customers, to manage inventory; seasonality in the demand
for consumer products into which our products are incorporated; and large orders placed by our key customers. These factors may cause our quarterly and yearly net revenue to fluctuate significantly, which makes it difficult for us to discuss revenue
trends or to predict future results. We expect these fluctuations will continue in the future. We analyze trends in total net revenue and we attempt to analyze total net revenue trends by market, which is limited due to our lack of visibility into
customers and/or applications, as described above. We also analyze revenue from key customers, focusing on our ten-percent customers, and aggregate net revenue from our top ten customers.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin: Cost of revenue includes the cost of subcontracted materials and wafer fabrication, IC assembly, final test,
factory labor and overhead, shipping of materials, shipping costs to customers, customs expenses, warranty costs, production employee expenses and inventory charges or benefits relating to excess or obsolete inventory. We also report expenses for
the depreciation of our test and handling equipment and logistics in cost of revenue in addition to the amortization of intangible assets. Significant items impacting cost of revenue include our product mix and volumes of product sales; the position
of our products in their respective life cycles; the effects of competitive pricing programs; manufacturing costs; fluctuations in direct product costs such as wafer pricing and assembly, packaging and testing costs, and overhead costs; and
provisions for excess or obsolete inventory. Stock-based compensation expense recorded in cost of revenue under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718, CompensationStock Compensation (ASC 718), was insignificant, and is
expected to continue to be insignificant as we use third-party contract manufacturers to produce the majority of our products enabling us to employ a limited number of production employees. Our cost of revenue may increase due to price fluctuations
and cyclical demand and we may not be able to pass this increase on to our customers, which makes it difficult for us to determine if cost of revenue and gross margin trends will continue or to predict future results. We analyze absolute gross
margin dollars and gross margin percentage. We also analyze the key drivers of gross margin, namely typical selling price trends and the components of cost of revenue. In 2009, the average selling prices of our products decreased at rates greater
than experienced in recent periods. More significant decreases, should they occur, could have a material adverse effect on our gross margins, results of operations and financial condition.

| |  |  | Operating Expenses: Operating expenses are substantially driven by personnel-related expenses, including cash and stock-based compensation
expense, lab supplies, training, prototype materials, professional fees and insurance expenses. We record stock-based compensation expense in operating expenses in accordance with ASC 718, which has resulted in a significant charge each period as
the majority of our employees are classified in this category. We analyze trends in the absolute dollar value and percentage of net revenue for research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses. We also analyze the underlying
expense inputs of significant operating expenses.

| |  |  | Other Income and Expense: We analyze the individual components of other income and expense. We also analyze interest income and the rate of
return earned on our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Liquidity and Cash Flows: Our cash flows are primarily driven by our cash operating results and sales and purchases of investments. The primary
source of our liquidity is our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. From period to period, we experience fluctuations in various items, including our working capital accounts, capital expenditures and proceeds from the exercise of
employee stock options and shares purchased under our employee stock purchase program.

| |  |  | Balance Sheet: We view cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, days sales outstanding, inventory, inventory
turns, and working capital as important indicators of our financial health.

ACQUISITION OF AUVITEK

On July 31, 2009, Microtune completed the acquisition of Auvitek International Ltd. (Auvitek) pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and
Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement) dated as of July 10, 2009. Auvitek is a supplier of advanced DTV demodulator ICs for the HDTV and TV-enabled peripherals markets with primary engineering operations based in Shanghai, China. Pursuant to the
Merger Agreement, Microtune acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Auvitek. The merger consideration consisted of (i) cash payments totaling $7,066,324, (ii) the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of Microtune common stock and
(iii) an earn-out payment to be determined based upon the achievement of certain performance metrics during the period July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010. The cash payment total was adjusted based on the final closing balance sheet of
Auvitek. In addition to the above described merger consideration, retention arrangements were established for the benefit of certain Auvitek employees, which is being recognized as expense over the requisite service period, and a second earn-out
payment to be determined based upon the achievement of certain performance metrics during the period July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010 (using the same performance metrics as the earn-out payment for the former holders of Auvitek capital
stock). Prior to entering into the Merger Agreement, there were no material relationships between Auvitek and Microtune. The Merger Agreement, the merger and related matters were approved by the boards of directors of each company. See Note 2,
Acquisition of Auvitek International Ltd., to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The decrease in net revenue in 2009 as compared to 2008 was primarily the result of decreased
shipments of silicon tuner products for the cable market, module products for the automotive entertainment electronics market, silicon tuner products for the DTV market, primarily for the CECB market segment, and to a lesser extent, lower average
selling prices of silicon tuner products for the cable market and module products for the automotive entertainment electronics market. No net revenue was recognized in 2009 from the CECB market segment. Silicon tuner unit shipments decreased
approximately 25% in 2009 from 2008, primarily relating to the cable market and the CECB market segment. Module unit shipments for the automotive entertainment electronics market decreased approximately 42% in 2009 from 2008, primarily relating to
car television applications.

The increase in net revenue in 2008 as compared to 2007 was primarily the result of increased
shipments of silicon tuner products for the cable market, particularly for set-top box applications, module products for the automotive entertainment electronics market, particularly for car radio applications, and silicon tuner products for the DTV
market, primarily relating to the CECB market segment, partially offset by slightly lower average selling prices of silicon tuner products for the cable market. Net revenue from the CECB market segment was $7.6 million for 2008. Silicon tuner unit
shipments increased approximately 22% in 2008 from 2007, primarily relating to the cable market and the CECB market segment. Module unit shipments for the automotive entertainment electronics market increased approximately 26% in 2008 from 2007,
primarily relating to car radio applications.

We expect that our largest customers will continue to account for a substantial portion of our net revenue in 2010 and the foreseeable future. The identity of our largest customers and their respective contributions to our net revenue has
varied and will likely continue to vary from period to period, which makes it difficult for us to discuss cost of revenue and gross margin trends or to predict future results.

##### Table of Contents

Gross margin decreased in 2009 as compared to 2008 primarily due to an approximate $33.5
million decrease in net revenue, partially offset by a 220 basis point increase in gross margin percentage. Gross margin percentage in 2009 as compared to 2008 was positively impacted by an increase in net revenue for the cable market as a
percentage of total net revenue, which had a higher gross margin percentage as compared to other markets and lower average costs of our silicon products for the cable market and module products for the automotive entertainment electronics market,
partially offset by lower average selling prices of our silicon products for the cable market and module products for the automotive entertainment electronics market.

Gross margin increased in 2008 as compared to 2007 primarily due to an approximate $16.9 million increase in net revenue, partially offset by a 160 basis point decrease in gross margin percentage. Gross
margin percentage in 2008 as compared to 2007 was negatively impacted by slightly lower average selling prices of silicon tuner products for the cable market, an increase in net revenue for the automotive entertainment electronics market as a
percentage of total net revenue, which had a lower gross margin percentage as compared to other markets, and lower than expected yields on initial product runs of a new cable silicon tuner during the first quarter of 2008.

Our cost of revenue for 2009, 2008 and 2007 benefited from the sale of inventory, which had previously been identified as excess to expected
demand and expensed in prior periods. The total value of these inventories for 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $1.7 million, $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The net impact of changes in the inventory valuation allowance and accrued
noncancelable inventory purchase obligations was a charge to cost of revenue of $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.6 million for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Stock-based compensation expense increased in 2009 as
compared to 2008 primarily due to an increase in unvested restricted stock units in 2009, offset by a decrease in unvested stock options in 2009 and a decrease in incentive compensation charges due to the absence of a bonus program in 2009 as
compared to the expense of the fiscal year 2008 bonus program. See Note 11, Stockholders Equity, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Stock-based compensation expense decreased in 2008 as compared to 2007 primarily
due to a decrease in unvested equity awards in 2008 and a decrease in incentive compensation charges related to the fiscal year 2008 Bonus Program as compared to the fiscal year 2007 Bonus Program.

Research and Development

Our research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, engineering software, prototype materials, lab
supplies and training. To date, we have expensed all of our research and development costs in the period incurred as our process for developing our products has been essentially completed concurrently with the establishment of technological
feasibility. Research and development efforts currently are focused primarily on the development of our next generation of products and designing more highly-integrated products that leverage next-generation technology.

The increase in research and development expenses in 2009 as compared to 2008 was primarily the result of an increase in personnel-related
expenses and stock-based compensation expense resulting from the addition of employees due to the acquisition of Auvitek and an average headcount increase of approximately 5%, excluding Auvitek employees, an increase in prototyping expenses for new
silicon projects and the timing of these expenditures, an increase in expenditures to design our silicon products, including license and maintenance fees for engineering software, and the effects of a benefit of $0.3 million for the reversal of
taxes and interest accrued in excess of amounts paid to the IRS upon completion of its examination of our payroll tax returns for 2003 through 2006 recognized during 2008, partially offset by a decrease in costs incurred to recruit and hire new
employees.

The increase in research and development expenses in 2008 as compared to 2007 was primarily the result of an
increase in personnel-related expenses resulting from an average headcount increase of approximately 5%, an increase in compensation expense incurred in conjunction with our regular annual base compensation adjustments, an increase in prototyping
expenses for new silicon projects and the timing of these expenditures and an increase in expenditures to design our silicon products, including license and maintenance fees for engineering software used to design our silicon products, partially
offset by a decrease in incentive compensation charges related to the fiscal year 2008 Bonus Program as compared to the fiscal year 2007 Bonus Program, a decrease in stock-based compensation expense and a benefit of $0.3 million for the reversal of
taxes and interest accrued in excess of amounts paid to the IRS upon completion of its examination of our payroll tax returns for 2003 through 2006. Stock-based compensation expense related to research and development was $1.9 million and $2.4
million in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

We remain committed to significant research and development efforts to support our
technology leadership in the markets in which we operate. Currently, we hold over 90 issued United States utility patents and have over 30 additional United States patent applications pending. Our issued United States patents begin to expire in
2015. Our patents generally cover various aspects of our RF and analog technologies at the broad architectural, circuit and building-block levels.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses include our personnel-related
expenses for our administrative, finance, human resources, sales and marketing, information technology and legal departments, and include expenditures related to professional fees for accounting and legal, public relations and financial advisors.
These expenses also include promotional and marketing costs, sales commissions and provisions for doubtful accounts.

The
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2009 as compared to 2008 was primarily due to professional fees associated with the acquisition of Auvitek, professional fees expensed in connection with the SEC litigation against two of
our former officers and personnel-related expenses resulting from the addition of employees due to the acquisition of Auvitek, partially offset by a decrease in general legal and accounting fees, commissions to outside sales representative firms,
stock-based compensation expense and directors and officers liability insurance premiums. The results in 2009 included net charges of $0.9 million related to professional fees of our legal firms, for which reimbursement is doubtful, in
connection with the SEC litigation against two of our

former officers and excluded $1.4 million of professional fees of our former officers legal firms recorded as a receivable for amounts expected to be reimbursed by our directors and
officers liability insurance carrier related to this matter. See Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings. Professional fees incurred in 2009 associated with acquisition activities were $1.2 million.

The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2008 as compared to 2007 was due to a decrease in professional fees expensed
in connection with the derivative litigation, which was dismissed in June 2008, and the SEC investigation, which was resolved with respect to the Company with a settlement in June 2008, a decrease in stock-based compensation expense and a decrease
in incentive compensation charges related to the fiscal year 2008 Bonus Program as compared to the fiscal year 2007 Bonus Program. Stock-based compensation expense related to selling, general and administrative expenses was $2.9 million and $3.6
million in 2008 and 2007, respectively. The results in 2008 included net charges of $0.4 million related to professional fees expensed in connection with the derivative litigation and the SEC investigation and excluded $1.9 million recorded as a
receivable for amounts expected to be reimbursed by our directors and officers liability insurance carrier related to the SEC investigation and ongoing SEC litigation with two of our former officers. See Part I, Item 3. Legal
Proceedings.

Restructuring Costs

In October 2009, we finalized a restructuring plan that included a reduction in force that resulted in the termination or attrition of approximately 10% of our workforce. The reduction in force was
substantially completed during the fourth quarter of 2009. These actions were taken as part of a larger cost reduction effort in order to streamline operations and more closely align costs with revenue in an effort to achieve profitability as
quickly as possible in the current challenging economic environment. We recorded restructuring charges related to this plan of $1.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2009. Of this amount, remaining cash severance payments of $0.9 million were
accrued at December 31, 2009. The remaining cash severance payments will be made during the first half of 2010.

Other Income and Expense

Other income consists primarily of interest income from our cash and short-term investment balances, foreign currency
gains and losses and other non-operating income.

The following table presents a comparison of other income and expense for
2009, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands):

The decrease in interest income in 2009 as compared to 2008 and 2008 as compared to 2007 was
primarily the result of significantly lower average rates of return on our cash and investment balances.

Our functional
currency is the United States Dollar. The impact from the re-measurement of accounts not denominated in United States Dollars is recognized currently in our results of operations as a component of net foreign currency gains (losses). Foreign
currency gains (losses), net, were primarily a result of exchange rate fluctuations between the United States Dollar and the Euro.

Income Taxes

The following table presents a comparison of our income tax expense (benefit) for 2009, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands):

In 2009, our effective tax rate differed from the 34% statutory corporate tax rate primarily due
to a refund of alternative minimum taxes, changes in valuation allowances, permanent differences, lower withholding tax rates and lower foreign tax rates. Income tax benefit for 2009 included a refund of alternative minimum taxes paid in prior years
due to recent regulation changes regarding the carryback of net operating losses, utilization of previously reserved net operating loss carryforwards and charges for withholding taxes on certain cross-border transactions, United States state income
taxes and foreign income taxes.

In 2008 and 2007, our effective tax rate differed from the 34% statutory corporate tax rate
primarily due to permanent differences, mostly foreign currency remeasurement, changes in valuation allowances, lower alternative minimum tax rates and lower foreign tax rates. Income tax expense for 2008 and 2007 primarily consisted of withholding
taxes on certain cross-border transactions, alternative minimum taxes and foreign income taxes.

Net Income (Loss)

The net loss in 2009 as compared to the net income in 2008 was primarily the result of a decrease
in net revenue, which resulted in a decrease of $14.9 million in gross margin, an increase in operating expenses and a decrease in interest income, partially offset by an increase in gross margin percentage and an increase in income tax benefit, as
described above.

The increase in net income in 2008 as compared 2007 was primarily the result of an increase in net revenue,
which resulted in an increase of $6.9 million in gross margin, and a decrease in selling, general and administrative expense, partially offset by a decrease in interest income and an increase in research and development expense, as described above.

Since inception, we have incurred significant losses resulting in an accumulated deficit of $363 million as of
December 31, 2009. Our operating history and our business risks, including those risks set forth under the caption Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A. and under the caption Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About
Market Risk, in Part II, Item 7A., make the prediction of future results of operations difficult. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will achieve revenue growth or return to profitability in the future.

We have invested heavily in research and development of our ICs and subsystem module technology. We expect to continue our investment in
these areas to further develop our products. This investment may include the continued recruitment of IC designers and systems engineers, and the acquisition of test and development equipment and software development tools for the expansion of our
product portfolio. As a result, we may incur substantial losses from operations in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that our research and development efforts will result in the timely development and commercial release
of products that achieve market acceptance.

The time lag between product availability and volume shipment can be significant due to the
sales process for our products, including customer qualification of our products. This delay can be from six months to as long as four years, during which we continue to develop our technology. Due to this lengthy product cycle, we may experience
significant delays from the time we incur expenses for research and development, selling, general and administrative efforts, and investments in inventory, to the time we generate corresponding revenue. The rate of new orders may vary significantly
from month to month and quarter to quarter. If anticipated sales or shipments in any quarter do not occur when expected, expenses and inventory levels could be disproportionately high, and our results of operations for that quarter, and potentially
future quarters, would be materially and adversely affected.

In 2009,
the decrease in cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from a decrease in cash operating results, partially offset by working capital changes in inventory due to decreased inventory purchases, working capital changes in accounts
receivable due to the timing of cash receipts and decreased net revenue, working capital changes in accrued compensation due to a decrease in the payment of amounts earned under the fiscal year 2008 Bonus Program and $7.7 million in reimbursements
received from our directors and officers liability insurance carrier for professional fees incurred by two of our former officers who are involved in litigation with the SEC. See Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, to the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Cash operating results decreased in 2009 as compared to 2008 due to a decrease in net revenue, an increase in operating expenses and a decrease in interest income, as described above.

In 2008, the increase in cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from an increase in cash operating results, significantly
lower cash disbursements for license and maintenance fees for engineering software used to design our silicon products and $1.7 million reimbursed by our directors and officers liability insurance carrier for professional fees incurred
by certain former officers of the Company who are involved in litigation with the SEC described above, partially offset by the payment of amounts earned under the fiscal year 2007 Bonus Program. Cash operating results increased in 2008 as compared
to 2007 due to an increase in net revenue and a decrease in operating expenses, partially offset by a decrease in interest income, as described above. In 2007, the increase in cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from an increase
in cash operating results, partially offset by a $3.3 million payment for license and maintenance fees for engineering

software used to design our silicon products and the purchase of inventories due to an increase in net revenue and expected demand for our products.

In 2009, our primary use of cash from investing activities was the purchase of certificates of deposit and the acquisition of Auvitek. In
2008, our primary use of cash from investing activities was the purchase of held-to-maturity investments and equipment related to testing and evaluation of our products. In 2007, our primary source of cash from investing activities was the sale of
available-for-sale investments, partially offset by the purchase of available-for-sale investments.

In 2009, our primary
source of cash from financing activities was the exercise of employee stock options and shares purchased by employees under the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. In 2008, our primary use of cash from financing activities was the repurchase of our
common stock, partially offset by cash provided from shares purchased by employees under the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the exercise of employee stock options. In 2007, our primary source of cash from financing activities was the exercise
of employee stock options and shares purchased by employees under the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. See Note 11, Stockholders Equity, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our cash and cash equivalents consisted of bank deposits and money market funds. Our short-term investments consisted of several
certificates of deposit insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The certificates of deposit have a contractual maturity of six months to one year and will mature during the second quarter and fourth quarter of 2010. We currently
have no long-term debt. See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

We expect our operating expenses to increase in the foreseeable future. As a result, our net cash flows will depend heavily on our level of future revenue and our ability to manage expenses.

Future Contractual Obligations

Lease
Commitments

We lease our corporate headquarters and principal IC design center in Plano, Texas under an operating lease
with a ten year term, which began in April 2005. Rent expense is calculated using the straight-line method over the lease term. We lease a research and development facility in Germany under an operating lease with a twenty-two year term, which began
in December 1999. In addition, we lease a research and development facility in Shanghai, China under an operating lease with a two year term, which began in September 2009. We also lease certain other facilities under operating leases and certain
equipment and software under operating and capital leases. Future minimum lease payments required under operating leases as of December 31, 2009 were as follows (in thousands):

2009, 2008 and 2007 was $1.6 million, $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Purchase Commitments

As of February 5, 2010, we had approximately $13.8 million of cancelable and non-cancelable purchase commitments outstanding with our
vendors. These commitments were entered into in the normal course of business.

Other Commitments

We are currently subject to line down clauses in contracts with certain automotive entertainment electronics customers. Such clauses require us to pay financial penalties if our failure to
supply product in a timely manner causes the customer to slow down or stop their production. We are also subject to product liability clauses and/or intellectual property indemnification clauses in some of our customer contracts. Such clauses
require us to pay financial penalties if we supply defective product, which results in financial damages to the customer, or to indemnify the customer for third-party actions based on the alleged infringement by our products of a third partys
intellectual property. As of December 31, 2009, we were unaware of any significant claims by any of our customers.

See
Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our Consolidated Financial
Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements describes
the significant accounting policies essential to an understanding of our Consolidated Financial Statements. Preparation of our financial statements requires estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and
assumptions which we have used are appropriate and correct based upon information available to us at the time that they were made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect our reported assets and liabilities as of the date of the
financial statements, as well as the reported net revenue and expenses during the periods presented. If there are material differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual facts, our financial statements may be affected.

In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require our
judgment in its application. There could be areas in which our judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result, but there could be some areas in which our judgment in selecting among available
alternatives would produce a materially different result. See the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements that contain additional information regarding our accounting policies and other disclosures.

We believe the following to be our critical accounting policies. That is, they are both important to the portrayal of our financial
condition and results, and they require significant estimates, judgments and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when we receive a purchase order from our customer, our product has
been shipped, title has transferred to our customer, the price that we will receive for our product is fixed or determinable and payment from our customer is considered probable. Title to our product transfers to our customer either when it is
shipped to or received by our customer, based on the terms of our specific agreement with the customer.

Our revenue is
recorded based on the facts then currently known to us. If we do not meet all the criteria above, we do not recognize revenue. If we are unable to determine the amount that is probable of collection once our product has shipped and title has
transferred to our customer, we defer recognition of revenue until we can determine the amount that is probable of collection. We apply reasonable judgment in performing the credit assessment of each of our customers. Items that are considered when
determining the amounts that are probable of collection include a customers overall creditworthiness, payment history and rights to return unsold product.

For certain of our customers, we do not recognize revenue until receipt of payment because collection is not probable or the amount we will ultimately collect is not determinable at the date of the
shipment. Upon shipment of product to these customers, title to the inventory transfers to the customer and the customer is invoiced. We

account for these transactions by recording accounts receivable for the revenue value of the shipments, as the shipments represent valid receivables, and reducing inventory for the cost of the
inventory shipped. The difference, representing the gross margin on the transactions, is recorded as deferred revenue. For financial statement presentation purposes, this deferred revenue balance is offset against any outstanding corresponding
accounts receivable balances from the customer. When payment is received for the transaction, revenue is recognized for the value of the cash payment, cost of revenue is recorded for the cost of the inventory and the deferred revenue is relieved for
the gross margin on the transaction. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the sales value of products shipped for which revenue was deferred was insignificant.

When we defer revenue, the timing and amount of revenue we ultimately recognize is determined upon our receipt of payment, which can result in significant fluctuations in net revenue from period to
period. In 2009, 2008 and 2007, net revenue recognized upon receipt of payment was insignificant.

We also defer revenue when
customers have made payments and we have not completed the earnings process. These payments are reflected as liabilities in our consolidated financial statements as deferred revenue. In these instances, we recognize revenue once the product is
shipped, title has transferred to our customer and the earnings process is complete. Deferred revenue as a result of customer prepayments was insignificant as of December 31, 2009. Deferred revenue as a result of customer prepayments was $0.2
million as of December 31, 2008.

We grant limited stock rotation rights to certain distributors, allowing them to return
qualifying product to us in accordance with their specific agreements for up to 5% of their aggregate net purchases for the previous six months. In these circumstances, we require the distributor to submit an offsetting purchase order that is, at a
minimum, equivalent to the aggregate dollar amount of the product to be returned. We account for the return as a reduction to net revenue and a reduction to accounts receivable for the price of the items returned. Correspondingly, cost of revenue is
reduced by the cost of returned inventory offset by an increase in inventory. Any returned inventory items are included in gross inventories, are reviewed along with our other inventory items and are recorded at the lower of cost or market.
Historically, distributor returns under stock rotation rights have been insignificant. As a result, we do not establish a reserve for potential returns when product is shipped to distributors, rather we subsequently monitor distributor inventory
levels and record a reserve for potential returns of estimated unsaleable inventory subject to stock rotation rights. We account for the reserve by reducing net revenue and cost of revenue. The difference, representing the gross margin on the
transaction, is recorded as deferred revenue. We account for the shipment of replacement product as a sales transaction, which offsets the reduction of net revenue discussed above. At December 31, 2009, the sales value of product shipped for
which revenue was reserved due to distributor stock rotation rights was insignificant. At December 31, 2008, the sales value of product shipped for which revenue was reserved due to distributor stock rotation rights was $0.2 million.

We typically have a significant portion of our quarterly net revenue represented in accounts receivable at the end of each
financial quarter, often concentrated in significant balances from a limited number of customers. At December 31, 2009, approximately 55% of our net accounts receivable was due from five of our customers. The potential reduction in net revenue
resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the ability or desire of our customers to pay amounts owed to us at December 31, 2009 resulting in the return of product previously delivered would have been approximately $0.8 million.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable based on several factors, which inherently involves us applying judgment and determining certain estimates. In circumstances where we are aware of
a specific customers inability to meet its financial obligations to us, we record a specific allowance for doubtful accounts against amounts due to us and reduce the net recorded receivable to the amount we reasonably believe will be
collected. We also consider recognizing allowances for doubtful accounts based on the length of time the receivables are outstanding compared to contractual terms, industry and geographic concentrations, the current business environment and our
historical experience. Accounts receivable included in the allowance for doubtful

##### Table of Contents

accounts are written-off after final collection efforts are exhausted. If the financial condition of our customers deteriorates or if economic conditions worsen, increases in the allowance for
doubtful accounts may be required in the future. We cannot predict future changes in the financial stability of our customers, and there can be no assurance that our allowance for doubtful accounts will be adequate. Actual credit losses for 2009,
2008 and 2007 were insignificant. At December 31, 2009, the allowance for doubtful accounts was insignificant. No allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded as of December 31, 2008. The potential increase in the allowance for doubtful
accounts resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the ability or desire of our customers to pay amounts owed to us at December 31, 2009 would have been approximately $0.8 million.

Inventory Valuation

Our
inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost, which approximates actual cost, or estimated realizable value. Amounts are removed from inventory using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Adjustments to reduce our inventories to estimated
realizable value, including allowances for excess and obsolete inventories, are determined quarterly by comparing inventory levels of individual materials and parts to current demand forecasts for those items. Our analysis of current and future
demand for our products involves estimates and judgments by us. In addition, we review other individual facts and circumstances to determine necessary adjustments to reduce our inventories to estimated realizable value, including current
manufacturing yields, product returns and warranty claims, which may also involve judgments by us. Actual amounts realized upon the sale of inventories may differ from estimates used to determine inventory valuation allowances due to changes in
customer demand, technology changes and other factors. The net impact of changes in the inventory valuation allowance and accrued noncancelable inventory purchase obligations was a charge to cost of revenue of $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.6
million for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The potential change in the inventory valuation allowance resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the current demand forecasts for individual materials and parts would have been
insignificant at December 31, 2009.

Income Taxes

Our income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method of accounting. Under the asset and liability method, a deferred income tax asset or liability is recognized for estimated future tax
effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is adjusted by a valuation allowance, if necessary, to recognize future income tax benefits only to the extent, based on available
evidence, it is more likely than not such benefits will be realized. These analyses often involve applying judgments or estimates. Our net deferred tax assets were fully reserved at December 31, 2009 and 2008 due to uncertainties in realizing
future income tax benefits as a result of our history of generating net losses. Changes in uncertain income tax positions were as follows (in thousands):

At December 31, 2009, the uncertain income tax positions were related to transfer pricing adjustments
with foreign subsidiaries acquired with Auvitek and foreign withholding taxes on certain cross-border transactions. See Note 2 and Note 9 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Uncertain income tax positions could materially change within
the next twelve months, depending on the resolution of transfer pricing adjustments discussed above.

We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in income tax
expense. Interest and penalties of $0.2 million were accrued at December 31, 2009 related to uncertain income tax positions assumed in the acquisition of Auvitek. No interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions were accrued
at December 31, 2008.

In conjunction with the purchase price allocation for the acquisition of Auvitek, we recorded an
indemnification asset of $0.7 million representing the selling shareholders obligation to indemnify Microtune for the outcome of potential contingent liabilities relating to uncertain tax positions. See Note 2, Acquisition of Auvitek
International Ltd., to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. At December 31, 2009, the indemnification asset was $0.7 million. Upon expiration of the selling shareholders obligation to indemnify us in July 2011, we will incur
a charge to write-off any remaining indemnification asset and be responsible for the outcome of potential contingent liabilities relating to uncertain tax positions.

Due to our net operating loss carryforward position, tax years in the United States remain open to examination until three years after the net operating losses from each year are utilized. Potential
examination adjustments are limited to the net operating losses utilized from each year. For our international operations, the tax years 2005 through 2009 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions in which we operate.

We have established a valuation allowance to fully reserve our net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2009 and 2008 due to the
uncertainty of the timing and amount of future taxable income. For United States federal income tax purposes, at December 31, 2009, we had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $182.1 million and an unused research and development
credit carryforward of approximately $4.4 million, that will begin to expire in 2021. If we generate United States taxable income in future periods, reversal of this valuation allowance could have a significant positive impact on net income in the
period that it becomes more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be utilized. A change in ownership, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, may limit utilization of the United States federal net operating loss and
research and development credit carryforwards.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for all share-based payment awards to employees and directors, including stock options, restricted stock units and employee stock
purchases related to our employee stock purchase plan, using the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718 and the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, issued by the SEC. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula to
value share-based payments granted to employees and attribute the value of stock-based compensation to expense using the straight-line single option method. Stock-based compensation expense recognized each period includes: (1) compensation cost
for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the measurement date fair value estimate in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (2) compensation cost for all
share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the measurement date fair value estimate in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. Stock-based compensation expense recognized each period is based on the greater of the
value of the portion of share-based payment awards under the straight-line method or the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. In accordance with ASC 718, we estimate forfeitures at
the time of grant and revise our estimates, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ materially from those estimates. Stock-based compensation expense under ASC 718 for the 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $4.8 million, $4.8 million
and $6.1 million, respectively, relating to employee and director stock options, restricted stock units and our employee stock purchase plan. See Note 11, Stockholders Equity, to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASC 718 requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation
cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. Due to our historical net operating loss position, we have not recorded these excess tax benefits at December 31, 2009 and 2008.

##### Table of Contents

At December 31, 2009, we had five stock-based compensation plans covering employees and
directors, including four equity award plans and our employee stock purchase plan. During 2009, we granted our employees and directors 861,210 restricted stock units. The restricted stock units generally vest over the following three to five years.
No stock options were granted during 2009. The weighted-average estimated fair value of the stock options granted during 2008 and 2007 was approximately $2.01 and $2.43 per share, respectively, using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula
with the following weighted-average assumptions:



|                        |      |                         |   |      |       |   |      |       |

|Expected volatility     |      | 57.92                   | % |      | 57.30 | % |      | 55.50 | %
|Risk-free interest rate |      | 2.19                    | % |      | 2.60  | % |      | 4.50  | %
|Expected dividends      |      | 0.00                    | % |      | 0.00  | % |      | 0.00  | %
|Expected term (years)   |      | 5                       |   |      | 5     |   |      | 5     |  

The
expected volatility assumptions were based upon a combination of historical stock price volatility and implied volatility consistent with ASC 718. The historical stock price volatility was measured on a weekly basis due to the relatively high
volatility of the market value of our common stock and excluded periods before the third quarter of 2003 as the volatility during these periods was not indicative of expected volatility. Due to the relatively low volume of the traded options on our
common stock, we measured implied volatility using traded options with terms of at least 6 months. Expected volatility was calculated using 75% of the historical stock price volatility and 25% of the implied volatility. The fair value of a stock
option would have increased approximately 7% from a hypothetical 10% increase in expected volatility as of December 31, 2008.

The risk-free interest rate assumptions were based upon the implied yields from the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the options. The fair value of a stock option would have increased
approximately 1% from a hypothetical 10% increase in the risk-free interest rate as of December 31, 2008.

The expected
terms of employee stock options represented the weighted-average period the stock options were expected to remain outstanding and was based upon historical employee exercise behavior and expected employee turnover. The fair value of a stock option
would have increased approximately 4% from a hypothetical 10% increase in the expected term as of December 31, 2008.

The
average per share value of restricted stock units granted during 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $2.09, $4.58 and $4.49, respectively, using our closing stock price on the respective grant dates.

At December 31, 2009, the balance of unearned stock-based compensation to be expensed in future periods related to unvested share-based
awards, as adjusted for expected forfeitures, was approximately $4.5 million. The weighted-average period over which the unearned stock-based compensation was expected to be recognized was approximately 2 years. We anticipate that we will grant
additional share-based awards to employees in the future, which will increase the stock-based compensation expense by the additional unearned compensation resulting from these grants. The fair value of these grants is not included in the amount
above, as the impact of these grants cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on the number of share-based payments granted. In addition, if factors change and we employ different assumptions in the application of ASC 718 in future
periods, the stock-based compensation expense that we record under ASC 718 may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Our Employee Stock Purchase Plan has been deemed compensatory in accordance with
ASC 718. Stock-based compensation relating to this plan was estimated as of the respective grant dates of the purchase rights provided to employees under the plan using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula and the same

##### Table of Contents

assumptions used for valuing stock options as disclosed under ASC 718 above. The weighted-average estimated value of the purchase rights outstanding under this plan during 2009, 2008 and 2007 was
$0.67, $1.29 and $1.77 per right, respectively. During 2009, 2008 and 2007, we recognized $0.4 million, $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense relating to the plan.

Commitments and Contingencies

We may be subject to the possibility of loss contingencies for various legal matters. Our discussion of legal matters includes pending litigation and matters in which any party has manifested a present intention to commence litigation
related to such matters. There can be no assurance that additional contingencies of a legal nature or having legal aspects will not be asserted in the future. Such matters could relate to prior transactions or events or future transactions and
events. See Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. We regularly evaluate current information available to us to determine whether any provisions for loss should be made. If we ultimately
determine that a provision for loss should be made for a legal matter, the provision for loss could have a material and adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

Our future cash commitments are primarily for long-term facility leases. See Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, to Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)) issued by the FASB in December 2007 and Statement No. 160,Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51) changed the
financial accounting and reporting of business combination transactions and noncontrolling (or minority) interests in consolidated financial statements. ASC 805 is effective for business combination transactions for which the acquisition date is on
or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The requirements under this standard were applied to the acquisition of Auvitek. See Note 2, Acquisition of Auvitek International

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC
820), (prior authoritative literature: Statement No. 157,Fair Value Measurements), issued by the FASB in September 2006, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and requires enhanced disclosures
about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC 820 relating to nonfinancial assets, primarily goodwill, and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis were effective as of January 1,
2009. The requirements under this standard were applied to the measurement of the fair value assigned to acquired assets and liabilities in the acquisition of Auvitek. See Note 2, Acquisition of Auvitek International Ltd., to Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events (ASC 855), (prior authoritative literature: SFAS
No. 165, Subsequent Events issued by the FASB in May 2009) establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the date the financial statements are issued or
available to be issued. ASC 855 requires companies to reflect in their financial statements the effects of subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions at the balance sheet date. Subsequent events that provide
evidence about conditions that arose after the balance sheet date should be disclosed if the financial statements would otherwise be misleading. Disclosures should include the nature of the event and either an estimate of its financial effect
or a statement that an estimate cannot be made. ASC 855 is effective for interim and annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009, and should be applied prospectively. The requirements under this standard did not impact our
financial condition or results of operations because they are consistent with our current practice.

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

The following discusses our exposure to market risk related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks
and uncertainties. Actual results could vary materially as a result of a number of factors including those set forth in Item 1A., Risk Factors.

Risks Related to Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

We transact both sales
and purchases in foreign currencies. Due to the volatile nature of the currency markets, there is a potential risk of foreign currency translation losses, as well as gains. As a result, our financial results could be significantly affected by
factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in the foreign markets in which we produce and distribute our products.

A portion of our net revenue is transacted in the Euro. During 2009, we generated approximately $2.4 million in net revenue from Euro denominated transactions. The potential loss in net revenue for 2009
resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have been approximately $0.2 million; however, this impact would likely be reduced or partially offset by a similar impact in our Euro denominated expenses.

A significant portion of our operations consists of design and sales activities in foreign jurisdictions. Our products are manufactured
in the Philippines, Germany, China and South Korea as well as the United States. We incur operating costs in currencies other than the United States Dollar, particularly the Euro. During 2009, we incurred approximately $8.5 million in operating
costs from Euro denominated transactions, mostly at our German design facility. The potential increase in operating costs for 2009 resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have been approximately $0.9 million;
however, this impact would likely be reduced or offset by a similar impact in our Euro denominated net revenue.

We currently
do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge our balance sheet exposures against future movements in exchange rates. However, we are currently evaluating our exchange rate risk management strategy, including changes in our organizational
structure and other capital structuring techniques to manage our currency risk. Our net investment in foreign subsidiaries, translated to United States Dollars using exchange rates at December 31, 2009, was insignificant. A potential loss in
the value of net monetary assets related to this net investment resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates would be insignificant as of December 31, 2009.

Risks Related to Interest Rates

Currently, our cash and cash equivalents are held in bank deposits and money market funds. Our short-term investments consisted of several certificates of deposit insured by the FDIC. The carrying values of our cash and cash equivalents and
short-term investments approximate market value. Our cash and cash equivalents that exceed FDIC insurance limits are subject to interest rate risk, the risk that our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected due to
movements in interest rates. If interest rates were to decrease by 100 basis points, our interest income would decrease by approximately $0.8 million based on our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 31, 2009.

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

Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that required
information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required timeframe, as specified in the rules set forth by the SEC. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009 and, based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31,
2009.

Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Management is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of,
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by our Board, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

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

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

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework. Based on our
assessment, we believe that, as of December 31, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

The SECs general guidance permits the exclusion of an assessment of the effectiveness of a registrants disclosure controls and procedures as they relate to its internal control over financial
reporting for an acquired business during the first year following such acquisition if, among other circumstances and factors, there is not adequate time between the acquisition date and the date of assessment. As previously noted in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K, we completed the acquisition of Auvitek on July 31, 2009. Auvitek represented 2% of our total assets as of December 31, 2009 and 1% of our net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009. Managements
assessment and conclusion on the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 excludes an assessment of the internal control over financial reporting of Auvitek.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Microtune, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Microtune, Inc. as of
December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Microtune, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Microtune, Inc.s internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 16, 2010 expressed
an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Microtune, Inc.:

We have audited Microtune, Inc.s internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2009, based on criteria established inInternal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Microtune, Inc.s management is responsible for
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

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

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

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

In our opinion, Microtune, Inc. maintained,
in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission.

Microtune, Inc. acquired Auvitek International Ltd. on July 31, 2009, and management excluded from
its assessment of the effectiveness of Microtune, Inc.s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, Auvitek International Ltd.s internal control over financial reporting associated with total assets of $1.9
million and total revenues of $0.4 million included in the consolidated financial statements of Microtune, Inc. as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of Microtune, Inc. also
excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Auvitek International Ltd.

We also have audited,
in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Microtune, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders equity and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and our report dated February 16, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Microtune, Inc. (Microtune) began operations in August 1996. We design and market receiver solutions for the cable, automotive entertainment electronics and digital television (DTV) markets. These
solutions include radio frequency (RF) integrated circuits (ICs), digital signal processing ICs and subsystem module solutions. Our product portfolio consists of tuners, amplifiers, upconverters, demodulators and receivers, which permit the
delivery, reception and exchange of broadband video, audio and data using terrestrial (off-air) and/or cable communications systems. Our products enable or target various consumer electronics, broadband communications and automotive entertainment
electronics applications and devices, including cable television set-top boxes; DOCSIS®-based high-speed voice
and data cable modems; car audio, television and antenna amplifier systems; integrated digital television systems (iDTV), including high-definition televisions (HDTV); digital-to-analog converter boxes; and personal computer television (PC/TV)
multimedia products. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and original design manufacturers (ODMs) who sell devices, subsystems and applications to consumers or service providers within the cable, automotive entertainment
electronics and DTV markets.

We operate Microtune as a single business unit, reporting unit or reportable operating segment
serving our target markets. We record our operating expenses by functional area and account type, but we do not record or analyze our operating expenses by market, product type or product. We attempt to analyze our net revenue by market, but in some
cases we sell our products to resellers or distributors serving multiple end markets, giving us limited ability to determine market composition of our net revenue from these customers. In addition, certain of our OEM customers purchase products from
us for applications in multiple end-markets, also limiting our ability to determine our net revenue contribution from each market.

Codification of GAAP

On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) launched its new
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). On this date, the ASC became the single official source of authoritative, non-governmental GAAP, except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting
literature not included in the ASC is non-authoritative. We have updated all our prior authoritative GAAP references with the new ASC references.

Risk and Uncertainties

Our future results of operations and financial condition will be impacted by the
following factors, among others: worldwide macroeconomic downturn, dependence on the worldwide cable, automotive entertainment electronics and DTV markets characterized by intense competition and rapidly changing technology, dependence on a few
significant customers, third-party manufacturers and subcontractors, third-party distributors in certain markets, partners when we go to market with a joint solution, the successful development and marketing of new products in new and existing
markets, the successful integration of the Auvitek International Ltd. (Auvitek) operations and products, seasonality in the demand for consumer products into which our products are incorporated and the success of our recently announced cost
reduction efforts. Our future results also may be impacted by foreign currency fluctuations as a result of our international operations and foreign currency based revenues, and product warranty liabilities and line down clauses.

Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Microtune and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Amounts in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for 2008 and 2007 have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

We make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
consolidated financial statements and the disclosures made in the accompanying notes, including inventory valuation allowances, warranty costs, determining the collectability of accounts receivable and indemnification assets, the valuation of
deferred tax assets, contingent liabilities, liabilities for uncertain tax positions, liabilities for potential incentive compensation and other amounts. We also use estimates, judgments and assumptions to determine the impairment of investments and
intangible assets, including goodwill, and the remaining economic lives and carrying values of property and equipment and other long-lived assets. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are appropriate, based
upon information available to us at the time that they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect our reported assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported net revenue
and expenses during the periods presented. If there are material differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual facts, our consolidated financial statements will be affected.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits and money market funds.

Investments

Our
investments are comprised of high-quality securities purchased in accordance with our investment policy. Investments in debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when we intend to hold them to maturity. Held-to-maturity investments are
carried at amortized cost with the amortization of the purchase discount recorded in interest income. Investments in debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and carried at fair
value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, recorded in stockholders equity. Realized gains and losses and other-than-temporary declines in value, if any, on available-for-sale securities are reported in other income and expense as
incurred and are determined based on the specific identification method. At December 31, 2009, our short-term investments, which consisted of certificates of deposit insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), were categorized
as held-to-maturity investments. The carrying value of our short-term investments approximates fair value as the certificates of deposit were entered into at market rates. The certificates of deposit have a contractual maturity of six months to one
year and mature during the second quarter and fourth quarter of 2010. We held $50.0 million and $40.0 million in short-term investments at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, we held no long-term
investments.

December 31, 2009



Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable based on several factors. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific
customers inability to meet its financial obligations to us, we record a specific allowance for doubtful accounts against amounts due to us and reduce the net recorded receivable to the amount we reasonably believe will be collected. We also
consider recognizing allowances for doubtful accounts based on the length of time the receivables are outstanding compared to contractual terms, industry and geographic concentrations, the current business environment and our historical experience.
Accounts receivable included in the allowance for doubtful accounts are written-off after final collection efforts are exhausted. If the financial condition of our customers deteriorates or if economic conditions worsen, increases in the allowance
for doubtful accounts may be required in the future. We cannot predict future changes in the financial stability of our customers, and there can be no assurance that our allowance for doubtful accounts will be adequate. Actual credit losses for
2009, 2008 and 2007 were insignificant. At December 31, 2009, the allowance for doubtful accounts was insignificant. No allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded as of December 31, 2008.

Inventory Valuation

Our
inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost, which approximates actual cost, or estimated realizable value. Amounts are removed from inventory using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Adjustments to reduce our inventories to estimated
realizable value, including allowances for excess and obsolete inventories, are determined quarterly by comparing inventory levels of individual materials and parts to current demand forecasts for those items. In addition, we review other individual
facts and circumstances to determine necessary adjustments to reduce our inventories to estimated realizable value, including current manufacturing yields, product returns and warranty claims. Actual amounts realized upon the sale of inventories may
differ from estimates used to determine inventory valuation allowances due to changes in customer demand, technology changes and other factors. The net impact of changes in the inventory valuation allowance and accrued noncancelable inventory
purchase obligations was a charge to cost of revenue of $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.6 million for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Our property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. We
calculate depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally range from 3 to 7 years. We depreciate leasehold improvements using the straight-line method over the lesser of their estimated
useful lives or remaining lease terms.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Our intangible assets, which consist of developed technology, in-process research and development and goodwill, have been recorded as the
result of our acquisition of Auvitek. See Note 2. Developed technology is being amortized on the straight-line basis over 6.4 years. In-process research and development will begin amortization after reaching technological feasibility and will be
amortized over its useful life. Goodwill is the result of the difference between the aggregate consideration paid for Auvitek and the net of the fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Long-lived Assets

We review goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis in the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment may exist. The performance of the
test

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)

December 31, 2009



involves a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair values of the applicable reporting units with their aggregate carrying values, including goodwill.
If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting units fair value, we perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves
comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting units goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill.

We
review long-lived assets, including intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. We evaluate the recoverability of other long-lived assets by
a comparison of their carrying amount to projected undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets or asset group. If we determine our long-lived assets are impaired, we recognize the impairment in the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. No impairment was recognized during 2009, 2008 and 2007.

Revenue
Recognition

We recognize revenue when we receive a purchase order from our customer, our product has been shipped, title
has transferred to our customer, the price that we will receive for our product is fixed or determinable and payment from our customer is considered probable. Title to our product transfers to our customer either when it is shipped to or received by
our customer, based on the terms of our specific agreement with the customer.

Our revenue is recorded based on the facts then
currently known to us. If we do not meet all the criteria above, we do not recognize revenue. If we are unable to determine the amount that is probable of collection once our product has shipped and title has transferred to our customer, we defer
recognition of revenue until we can determine the amount that is probable of collection. Items that are considered when determining the amounts that are probable of collection include a customers overall creditworthiness, payment history and
rights to return unsold product.

For certain of our customers, we do not recognize revenue until receipt of payment because
collection is not probable or the amount we will ultimately collect is not determinable at the date of the shipment. Upon shipment of product to these customers, title to the inventory transfers to the customer and the customer is invoiced. We
account for these transactions by recording accounts receivable for the revenue value of the shipments, as the shipments represent valid receivables, and reducing inventory for the cost of the inventory shipped. The difference, representing the
gross margin on the transactions, is recorded as deferred revenue. For financial statement presentation purposes, this deferred revenue balance is offset against any outstanding corresponding accounts receivable balances from the customer. When
payment is received for the transaction, revenue is recognized for the value of the cash payment, cost of revenue is recorded for the cost of the inventory and the deferred revenue is relieved for the gross margin on the transaction. At
December 31, 2009 and 2008, the sales value of products shipped for which revenue was deferred was insignificant.

When
we defer revenue, the timing and amount of revenue we ultimately recognize is determined upon our receipt of payment, which can result in significant fluctuations in net revenue from period to period. In 2009, 2008 and 2007, net revenue recognized
upon receipt of payment was insignificant.

We also defer revenue when customers have made payments and we have not completed
the earnings process. These payments are reflected as liabilities in our consolidated financial statements as deferred revenue. In these instances, we recognize revenue once the product is shipped, title has transferred to our customer and the
earnings process is complete. Deferred revenue as a result of customer prepayments was insignificant as of December 31, 2009. Deferred revenue as a result of customer prepayments was $0.2 million as of December 31, 2008.

December 31, 2009



We grant limited stock rotation rights to certain distributors, allowing them to return
qualifying product to us in accordance with their specific agreements for up to 5% of their aggregate net purchases for the previous six months. In these circumstances, we require the distributor to submit an offsetting purchase order that is, at a
minimum, equivalent to the aggregate dollar amount of the product to be returned. We account for the return as a reduction to net revenue and a reduction to accounts receivable for the price of the items returned. Correspondingly, cost of revenue is
reduced by the cost of returned inventory offset by an increase in inventory. Any returned inventory items are included in gross inventories, are reviewed along with our other inventory items and are recorded at the lower of cost or market.
Historically, distributor returns under stock rotation rights have been insignificant. As a result, we do not establish a reserve for potential returns when product is shipped to distributors, rather we subsequently monitor distributor inventory
levels and record a reserve for potential returns of estimated unsaleable inventory subject to stock rotation rights. We account for the reserve by reducing net revenue and cost of revenue. The difference, representing the gross margin on the
transaction, is recorded as deferred revenue. We account for the shipment of replacement product as a sales transaction, which offsets the reduction of net revenue discussed above. At December 31, 2009, the sales value of product shipped for
which revenue was reserved due to distributor stock rotation rights was insignificant. At December 31, 2008, the sales value of product shipped for which revenue was reserved due to distributor stock rotation rights was $0.2 million.

Research and Development Costs

Our research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, lab supplies, training and prototype materials. We expense all of our research and development costs in the period
incurred as our current process for developing our products is essentially complete concurrent with the establishment of technological feasibility. Research and development efforts currently are focused primarily on the development of our next
generation of products.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs related to product shipments to customers are included in cost of revenue.

Warranty Costs

We generally provide a minimum of a one-year warranty on all products. In certain instances, a
warranty beyond one year is provided to comply with statutory requirements of foreign jurisdictions. We record specific warranty provisions for any identified product issues, which have not been significant to date. At December 31, 2009 and
2008, accrued warranty costs were insignificant.

Foreign Currency Remeasurement

Our functional currency and that of our foreign subsidiaries is the United States Dollar. The impact from the remeasurement of accounts not
denominated in United States Dollars is recognized currently in our results of operations as a component of foreign currency gains and losses and results primarily from exchange rate fluctuations between the United States Dollar and the Euro. Net
foreign currency gains (losses) were $(0.2) million, $(0.3) million and $0.3 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Income Taxes

Our income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method of accounting. Under the asset and liability method, a deferred income tax asset or liability is recognized for estimated future tax
effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is adjusted by a valuation allowance, if necessary, to recognize future income tax benefits only to the extent, based on available
evidence, it is more likely than not such benefits will be realized. Our net deferred income tax assets were fully reserved at December 31, 2009 and 2008. Changes in uncertain income tax positions were as follows (in thousands):



|                                                     |  |   |     |  
|---------------------------------------------------- |  | - | --- | -
|Balance at December 31, 2008                         |  | $ | 113 |

|Balance at December 31, 2009                         |  | $ | 833 |  
|                                                     |  |   |     |  

At December 31, 2009, the uncertain income tax positions were related to transfer pricing adjustments
with foreign subsidiaries acquired with Auvitek and foreign withholding taxes on certain cross-border transactions. See Note 2 and Note 9. Uncertain income tax positions could materially change within the next twelve months, depending on the
resolution of transfer pricing adjustments discussed above.

We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain income
tax positions in income tax expense. Interest and penalties of $0.2 million were accrued at December 31, 2009 related to uncertain income tax positions assumed in the acquisition of Auvitek. No interest and penalties related to uncertain income
tax positions were accrued at December 31, 2008.

In conjunction with the purchase price allocation for the acquisition
of Auvitek, we recorded an indemnification asset of $0.7 million representing the selling shareholders obligation to indemnify us for the outcome of potential contingent liabilities relating to uncertain tax positions. See Note 2. At
December 31, 2009, the indemnification asset was $0.7 million.

Due to our net operating loss carryforward position, tax
years in the United States remain open to examination until three years after the net operating losses from each year are utilized. Potential examination adjustments are limited to the net operating losses utilized from each year. For our
international operations, the tax years 2005 through 2009 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions in which we operate.

Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period and dilutive
common equivalent shares consisting of stock options, restricted stock units and employee rights to purchase stock under our employee stock purchase plan. All potentially dilutive common equivalent shares were anti-dilutive and were excluded from
diluted loss per common share for 2009.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for all share-based payment awards to employees and directors, including stock options, restricted stock units and employee stock
purchases related to our employee stock purchase plan, using the fair value recognition provisions of ASC Topic 718, CompensationStock Compensation(ASC 718), (prior authoritative literature: Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment) and the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, issued by the SEC. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula to value share-based payments granted to
employees and attribute the value of stock-based compensation to expense using the straight-line single option method. Stock-based compensation expense recognized each period includes: (1) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted
prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the measurement date fair value estimate in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (2) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted
subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the measurement date fair value estimate in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. Stock-based compensation expense recognized each period is based on the greater of the value of the portion of
share-based payment awards under the straight-line method or the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. In accordance with ASC 718, we estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and
revise our estimates, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ materially from those estimates. Stock-based compensation expense under ASC 718 for the 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $4.8 million, $4.8 million and $6.1 million,

respectively, relating to employee and director stock options, restricted stock units and our employee stock purchase plan. See Note 11.

ASC 718 requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized
for those options (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. Due to our historical net operating loss position, we have not recorded these excess tax benefits at December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Comprehensive Income

ASC
Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, (prior authoritative literature: SFAS No. 130,Reporting Comprehensive Income) establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated
financial statements. Accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 included foreign currency translation adjustments of $1.0 million related to changing the functional currency of our German subsidiaries from the
German Mark to the United States Dollar in 2000. Comprehensive income (loss) for all periods presented is equivalent to net income (loss).

Risk Concentrations

Financial instruments that potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk consist
primarily of trade accounts receivable. At December 31, 2009, approximately 55% of our net accounts receivable were due from five of our customers. We periodically evaluate the creditworthiness of our customers financial conditions and
generally do not require collateral. We evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable based on several factors. In circumstances when we are aware of a specific customers inability to meet its financial obligations to us, we record a
specific reserve for bad debts against amounts due to us and reduce the net recorded receivable to the amount we reasonably believe will be collected. For all other customers, we recognize allowances for doubtful accounts based on the length of time
the receivables are outstanding, industry and geographic concentrations, the current business environment and our historical experience. If the financial conditions of our customers deteriorate or if economic conditions worsen, additional allowances
may be required in the future. Historically, our bad debts have been insignificant and we are not currently aware of any significant uncollectible accounts.

We depend on third-party foundries, primarily IBM, TowerJazz, TSMC and X-FAB, and third-party assembly and test firms, primarily ASE, Amkor and SPIL, to manufacture all of our ICs. We do not have
long-term supply agreements with our foundries but obtain ICs on a purchase order basis. The inability of a third-party foundry to continue manufacturing our ICs would have a material adverse effect on our operations. Our ICs are primarily
manufactured in the United States, South Korea, Taiwan, China and the Philippines.

We use Ionics EMS, Inc. (Ionics) for
nearly all assembly and calibration functions for our subsystem module solutions under a manufacturing agreement entered into during 2005. This agreement expires in May 2010. In 2009, approximately 19% of our total net revenue was derived from the
sale of our module products that were primarily manufactured by Ionics. We expect to continue to use a single provider for nearly all assembly and calibration functions for our subsystem module solutions. The unanticipated or sudden loss of this
single provider would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We are also dependent upon third-parties, some of whom are competitors, for the supply of components used in subsystem module manufacturing. Our failure to obtain
components for module manufacturing would significantly impact our ability to ship subsystem modules to customers in a timely manner.

Commitments and Contingencies

We may be subject to the possibility of loss contingencies for various legal matters. Our discussion of legal matters includes pending
litigation and matters in which any party has manifested a present intention to commence litigation related to such matters. There can be no assurance that additional contingencies of a legal nature or having legal aspects will not be asserted
against us in the future. Such matters could relate to prior transactions or events or future transactions and events. See Note 10. We regularly evaluate current information available to us to determine whether any provisions for loss should be
made. If we ultimately determine that a provision for loss should be made for a legal matter, the provision for loss could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Our future cash commitments are primarily for long-term facility leases. See Note 10.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations(ASC 805),(prior authoritative literature: Statement No. 141(R),Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)) issued by the FASB in December 2007 and Statement No. 160,Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51) changed the financial accounting and reporting of business combination transactions and noncontrolling (or minority)
interests in consolidated financial statements. ASC 805 is effective for business combination transactions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
The requirements under this standard were applied to the acquisition of Auvitek. See Note 2.

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures(ASC 820),(prior authoritative literature: Statement No. 157,Fair Value Measurements), issued by the FASB in September 2006, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value
in GAAP, and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC 820 relating to nonfinancial assets, primarily goodwill, and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring
basis were effective as of January 1, 2009. The requirements under this standard were applied to the goodwill generated in the acquisition of Auvitek. See Note 2.

ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events(ASC 855), (prior authoritative literature: SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events issued by the FASB in May 2009) establishes general standards of
accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the date the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. ASC 855 requires companies to reflect in their financial statements the effects
of subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions at the balance sheet date. Subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that arose after the balance sheet date should be disclosed if the financial statements
would otherwise be misleading. Disclosures should include the nature of the event and either an estimate of its financial effect or a statement that an estimate cannot be made. ASC 855 is effective for interim and annual financial periods
ending after June 15, 2009, and should be applied prospectively. The requirements under this standard did not impact our financial condition or results of operations because they are consistent with our current practice.

2.    Acquisition of Auvitek International Ltd.

On July 31, 2009, Microtune completed the acquisition of Auvitek pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement) dated as of July 10, 2009. Auvitek was a supplier of
advanced DTV demodulator ICs for the HDTV and TV-enabled peripherals markets with primary engineering operations based

in Shanghai, China. The acquisition of Auvitek allows Microtune to develop highly-integrated RF-to-digital solutions targeting the worldwide integrated DTV market, provides customers with more
complete solutions and accelerates penetration into the China DTV market. The results of operations for Auvitek were included in our consolidated statements of operations beginning August 1, 2009.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Microtune acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Auvitek. The merger consideration consisted of
(i) cash payments totaling $7,066,324, (ii) the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of Microtune common stock and (iii) an earn-out payment to be determined based upon the achievement of certain performance metrics during the period
July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010. The cash payment total was adjusted based on the final closing balance sheet of Auvitek. In addition to the above described merger consideration, retention arrangements were established, for the benefit
of certain Auvitek employees, which is being recognized as expense over the requisite service period, and a second earn-out payment to be determined based upon the achievement of certain performance metrics during the period July 1, 2009
through June 30, 2010 (using the same performance metrics as the earn-out payment for the former holders of Auvitek capital stock). Prior to entering into the Merger Agreement, there were no material relationships between Auvitek and Microtune.
The Merger Agreement, the merger and related matters were approved by the boards of directors of each company.

The following
presents the consideration paid by Microtune for Auvitek (in thousands):

|Total purchase price                                                                                              |  | $ | 9,126
|                                                                                                                  |  |   |      

The purchase price was allocated to tangible and
identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on our preliminary estimates of fair value as of the acquisition date of July 31, 2009. Our preliminary estimates utilize level 3 fair value measurements in accordance
with ASC 820. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. Based upon a preliminary valuation, the purchase price for this transaction was allocated as follows (in
thousands):



|                            |  |   |        |  
|--------------------------- |  | - | ------ | -
|Current assets              |  | $ | 1,274  |  
|Non-current assets          |  |   | 644    |  
|Intangible assets           |  |   | 2,890  |  
|Goodwill                    |  |   | 5,564  |  
|                            |  |   |        |  
|Total assets acquired       |  |   | 10,372 |  
|Current liabilities assumed |  |   | (1,246 | )
|                            |  |   |        |  
|Net assets acquired         |  | $ | 9,126  |  
|                            |  |   |        |  

The purchase price allocated to current assets based on our preliminary estimates included an
indemnification asset of $0.7 million representing the selling shareholders obligation to indemnify us for the outcome of potential contingent liabilities relating to uncertain tax positions. The indemnification asset was measured on the same
basis as the liability for uncertain tax positions. Uncertain tax positions of $0.8 million were included in the purchase price allocated to current liabilities based on our preliminary estimates and was measured in accordance with ASC Topic 740
(prior authoritative literature: FASB Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income TaxesAn Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48)).An escrow fund of $1,000,000 was established for indemnification
obligations, subject to a minimum threshold of

$100,000 and a deductible of $100,000 on tax matters, as defined, with unreleased funds to be distributed 24 months after the acquisition date of July 31, 2009. An additional escrow fund of
$100,000 was established for working capital adjustments, excluding contingent tax liabilities, as defined, with unreleased funds to be distributed 95 days after the acquisition date of July 31, 2009. An insignificant payment was made from the
escrow fund for working capital adjustments in November 2009. Upon expiration of the selling shareholders obligation to indemnify us in July 2011, we will incur a charge to write-off any remaining indemnification asset and be responsible for
the outcome of potential contingent liabilities relating to uncertain tax positions.

Fair values assigned to customer
relationships, which represent the value of underlying relationships and agreements with customers, and trade names, which represent the value of marketing-related acquired assets, were insignificant based on our preliminary estimates and not
included in the preliminary purchase price allocation.

We determined the earn-out payments that are based upon the
achievement of certain performance metrics during the period July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010 are not probable based on our preliminary estimates. As such, the fair value assigned to the earn-out payments was insignificant and not
included in the preliminary purchase price allocation. In accordance with ASC Topic 805, subsequent changes in the fair value of the earn-out payments will be recorded as an expense in our consolidated statement of operations.

For tax purposes, no goodwill is expected to be deductible.

The portion of the purchase price allocated to intangible assets based on our preliminary estimates consisted of the following (in thousands):



|                                    |  |   |      
|----------------------------------- |  | - | -----
|Developed technology                |  | $ | 1,330

|Intangible assets                   |  | $ | 2,890
|                                    |  |   |      

Developed technology will be amortized over 6.4 years
on a straight-line basis. In-process research and development will be amortized over its useful life after reaching technological feasibility. If technological feasibility of the related projects is not achieved, a portion or all of the in-process
research and development could be expensed in future periods, which could have a material impact on our results of operations. No amounts were written-off for in-process research and development as part of the preliminary purchase price allocation.

The preliminary purchase price allocation for the acquisition of Auvitek was based on a preliminary valuation and our
estimates and assumptions are subject to change as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the measurement period. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to identifiable intangible
assets and liabilities for uncertain income tax positions.

The following unaudited condensed financial information of Auvitek
since the date of the acquisition of July 31, 2009 was included in our consolidated results of operations for 2009 (in thousands):

Income tax benefit for 2009 included a refund of
alternative minimum taxes paid in prior years due to recent regulation changes regarding the carryback of net operating losses, utilization of previously reserved net operating loss carryforwards and charges for withholding taxes on certain
cross-border transactions, United States state income taxes and foreign income taxes. In 2009, our effective tax rate differed from the 34% statutory corporate tax rate primarily due to a refund of alternative minimum taxes, changes in valuation
allowances, permanent differences, lower withholding tax rates and lower foreign tax rates.

Income tax expense for 2008
included the utilization of previously reserved net operating loss carryforwards and consisted of $0.3 million relating to withholding taxes on certain cross-border transactions, $0.1 million for alternative minimum taxes and $0.3 million
for foreign income taxes and United States state income taxes. In 2008, our effective tax rate differed from the 34% statutory corporate tax rate primarily due to changes in valuation allowances, permanent differences, lower withholding tax rates,
lower alternative minimum tax rates and lower foreign tax rates.

Income tax expense for 2007 included the utilization of
previously reserved net operating loss carryforwards and consisted of $0.6 million relating to withholding taxes on certain cross-border transactions, $0.1 million for alternative minimum taxes and $0.1 million for foreign income taxes and United
States state income taxes. In

2007, our effective tax rate differed from the 34% statutory corporate tax rate primarily due to changes in valuation allowances, permanent differences, lower withholding tax rates, lower
alternative minimum tax rates and lower foreign tax rates.

The loss from foreign operations before income taxes for 2009 was
$1.4 million. The income from foreign operations before income taxes was insignificant for 2008. The income from foreign operations before income taxes for 2007 was $3.5 million. We assert that earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are
permanently reinvested. It is not practical for us to determine the amount of unrecognized deferred income tax liability related to such earnings due to the complexities associated with the United States taxation of earnings of foreign subsidiaries
repatriated to the United States.

Income taxes paid in 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $0.2 million, $1.0 million and $0.1
million, respectively, and related primarily to foreign operations.

The significant components of our deferred tax assets and
liabilities were as follows (in thousands):

We have established a valuation allowance to fully reserve our net deferred tax assets at December 31,
2009 and 2008 due to the uncertainty of the timing and amount of future taxable income. For United States federal income tax purposes, at December 31, 2009, we had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $181.6 million and an unused
research and development credit carryforward of approximately $4.4 million, that will begin to expire in 2021. A change in ownership, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, may limit utilization of the United States federal net
operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards.

10.    Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Commitments

We lease
our corporate headquarters and principal IC design center in Plano, Texas under an operating lease with a ten year term, which began in April 2005. Rent expense is calculated using the straight-line method over the lease term. We lease a research
and development facility in Germany under an operating lease with a twenty-two year term, which began in December 1999. In addition, we lease a research and development facility in Shanghai, China under an operating lease with a two year term, which
began in September 2009. We also lease certain other facilities under operating leases and certain equipment and software under operating and capital leases. Future minimum lease payments required under operating leases as of December 31, 2009
were as follows (in thousands):

|Total future minimum lease payments |  | $ | 10,097
|                                    |  |   |       

Rent expense for the years ended December 31,
2009, 2008 and 2007 was $1.6 million, $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Purchase Commitments

As of February 5, 2010, we had approximately $13.8 million of cancelable and non-cancelable purchase commitments outstanding with our
vendors. These commitments were entered into in the normal course of business.

Other Commitments

We are currently subject to line down clauses in contracts with certain automotive entertainment electronics customers. Such
clauses require us to pay financial penalties if our failure to supply product in a timely manner causes the customer to slow down or stop their production. We are also subject to product liability clauses and/or intellectual property
indemnification clauses in some of our customer contracts. Such clauses require us to pay financial penalties if we supply defective product, which results in financial damages to the customer, or to indemnify the customer for third-party actions
based on the alleged infringement by our products of a third partys intellectual property. As of December 31, 2009, we were unaware of any significant claims by any of our customers.

Legal Proceedings

From
time to time, we may be involved in routine legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation that arise in the normal course of our business. The ultimate amount of liability, if any, for any claims of any type (either alone
or in the aggregate) may materially and adversely affect our financial

condition, results of operations and liquidity. In addition, the ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain. Any outcome, whether favorable or unfavorable, may materially and adversely
affect us due to legal costs and expenses, diversion of management attention and other factors. We expense legal costs in the period incurred. We cannot assure you that additional contingencies of a legal nature or contingencies having legal aspects
will not be asserted against us in the future, and these matters could relate to prior, current or future transactions or events. Except as described below, we are not currently a party to any material litigation.

Audit Committee Investigation, Restatement, Derivative Litigation, and SEC Investigation

In June 2006, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors self-initiated an independent investigation into our stock option granting
practices covering the period from the date of our initial public offering on August 4, 2000 through June 2006. As a result of the findings of the Audit Committees investigation, on January 22, 2007, we restated our consolidated
financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, and the selected consolidated financial data as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000 and 1999 to record additional non-cash
stock-based compensation expense and related tax liabilities related to certain mispriced stock option grants.

We voluntarily
contacted the SEC in July 2006 regarding the Audit Committees independent investigation, and representatives of the Audit Committee met with the SEC in February 2007 and again in July 2007 to discuss the findings of the Audit Committees
investigation. We fully cooperated with the SEC in its investigation of these matters. On June 30, 2008, we announced that we had agreed to settle with the SEC, without admitting or denying the allegations in the SECs complaint, by
consenting to the entry of a permanent injunction against future violations of the federal securities laws. We were not required to pay any civil penalty or other money damages as part of the settlement.

On June 30, 2008, the SEC filed suit against Douglas J. Bartek, our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who resigned in June
2003, and Nancy A. Richardson, our former Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel, who resigned in March 2004, alleging various violations of the U.S. securities laws related to our historical stock option granting practices. The suit against
Mr. Bartek and Ms. Richardson is still pending and attorneys for Mr. Bartek and Ms. Richardson are actively engaging in motion practice and conducting pre-trial discovery.

We have incurred substantial expenses for legal, accounting, tax and other professional services in connection with the Audit
Committees investigation, the preparation of our restated consolidated financial statements, the defense of the related derivative lawsuit and the SEC investigation. We continue to incur substantial legal expenses related to the SEC litigation
against Mr. Bartek and Ms. Richardson. We have advanced substantial legal expenses to Mr. Bartek and Ms. Richardson pursuant to our indemnification agreements with such former officers for legal proceedings related to these
matters. We have recognized expenses of approximately $7.6 million through December 31, 2009 related to these matters, net of amounts reimbursed by our directors and officers liability insurance carrier, and currently have a
receivable of $1.4 million at December 31, 2009 for amounts expected to be reimbursed by our directors and officers liability insurance carriers. As of December 31, 2009, we have exhausted $9.4 million of our $20 million
directors and officers liability insurance coverage. We expect further legal fees related to the SEC litigation against Mr. Bartek and Ms. Richardson to be substantial, and our directors and officers liability
insurance policy is expected to cover a significant portion of any future expenses with any non-reimbursable amounts being covered solely by Microtune. Legal fees incurred responding to the discovery requests and subpoenas of counsel to
Mr. Bartek and Ms. Richardson are generally not reimbursable and these legal fees have been and may continue to be substantial.

Initial Public Offering Litigation

Starting on July 11, 2001, multiple securities fraud class action complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York naming as defendants several investment banking firms that served as underwriters of our initial public offering, and in one instance, naming Microtune and several of our former officers. The complaints were brought
purportedly on behalf of all persons who purchased our common stock from August 4, 2000 through December 6, 2000 and were consolidated intoIn re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation (IPO cases), which includes hundreds of
other lawsuits filed in the Southern District of New York, challenging over 300 other initial public offerings and secondary offerings conducted in 1998, 1999 and 2000. The consolidated complaint alleges liability on the grounds that the
registration statement for our initial public offering did not disclose that (1) the underwriters had agreed to allow certain of their customers to purchase shares in the offering in exchange for excess commissions paid to the underwriters, and
(2) the underwriters had arranged for certain of their customers to purchase additional shares in the aftermarket at pre-determined prices to artificially inflate the market price of our shares.

On April 2, 2009, a new global settlement of the IPO cases was submitted to the district court for its approval. This settlement would
not require Microtune or its affiliated defendants to pay any money. In June 2009, the court gave preliminary approval to the new global settlement and then on October 6, 2009 gave its final approval to the global settlement.

11.    Stockholders Equity

Common Stock

On March 4, 2002, our Board declared a dividend of one
right for each share of our common stock issued and outstanding at the close of business on March 16, 2002. One right also attaches to each share of our common stock issued subsequent to March 16, 2002. The rights become exercisable to
purchase one one-thousandth of a share of new Series A Preferred Stock (Series A), at $115.00 per right, when a person or entity acquires 15 percent or more of our common stock or announces a tender offer which could result in such a person or
entity owning 15 percent or more of our common stock. Each one one-thousandth of a share of the Series A has terms designed to make it substantially the economic equivalent of one share of our common stock. Prior to a person or entity acquiring 15
percent, the rights can be redeemed for $0.001 each by action of our Board. Under certain circumstances, if a person or entity acquires 15 percent or more of our common stock, the rights permit our stockholders other than the acquirer to purchase
our common stock having a market value of twice the exercise price of the rights, in lieu of the Series A. Alternatively, when the rights become exercisable, the Board may authorize the issuance of one share of our common stock in exchange for each
right that is then exercisable. In addition, in the event of certain business combinations, the rights permit the purchase of the common stock of an acquirer at a 50 percent discount. Rights held by the acquirer will become null and void in both
cases. The rights expire on March 3, 2012. On December 31, 2009, 53,876,498 rights were outstanding.

Stock Option Plans

In August 1996, our Board of Directors and the stockholders approved the 1996 Stock Option Plan that provided for incentive
stock options and nonqualified stock options to be granted to key employees, certain directors and consultants of Microtune. Our Board of Directors or designated committee established the terms of each option granted under the 1996 Stock Option
Plan. The stock options granted under this plan generally vested over 4 to 5 years and have a maximum contractual life of 10 years. At December 31, 2009, we had no shares available for grant and 137,611 options granted and outstanding under the
1996 Stock Option Plan. At

December 31, 2009, we reserved 137,611 shares of common stock for issuance upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the 1996 Stock Option Plan.

In August 2000, we adopted the 2000 Stock Plan. The 2000 Stock Plan, as amended, provides for incentive stock options, nonqualified stock
options, restricted stock and restricted stock units to be granted to our employees and consultants. Our Board of Directors or designated committee establishes the terms of each option granted under the 2000 Stock Plan. The equity awards granted
under this plan generally vest over 3 to 5 years and the stock options granted under this plan have a maximum contractual life of 10 years. At December 31, 2009, we had 3,405,526 shares available for grant and 8,589,773 options and 1,240,469
restricted stock units granted and outstanding under the 2000 Stock Plan. At December 31, 2009, we reserved 13,235,768 shares of common stock for issuance upon exercise of options granted, vesting of restricted stock units and granting of other
equity awards pursuant to the 2000 Stock Plan.

In August 2000, we adopted the Directors Stock Plan. The Directors
Stock Plan, as amended, provides for nonqualified stock options to be granted to non-employee members of the Board of Directors. The equity awards granted under this plan generally vest over 3 years and the stock options granted under this plan have
a maximum contractual life of 10 years. At December 31, 2009, we had 226,800 shares available for grant and 884,750 options and 67,200 restricted stock units granted and outstanding under the Directors Stock Plan. At December 31,
2009, we reserved 1,178,750 shares of common stock for issuance upon exercise of options granted, vesting of restricted stock units and granting of other equity awards pursuant to the Directors Stock Plan.

On November 28, 2001, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Transcilica Inc. (Transcilica), a publicly held company based
in California, and assumed the obligations under Transilicas Stock Option Plan. The Transilica Stock Option Plan provided for incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to be granted to key employees and consultants of Transilica.
Their Board of Directors established the terms of each option granted under the Transilica Stock Option Plan at the time of grant. The stock options granted under this plan generally vested over 4 years and have a maximum contractual life of 10
years. At December 31, 2009, we had no shares available for grant and 17,170 options granted and outstanding under the Transilica Stock Option Plan. At December 31, 2009, we reserved 17,170 shares of common stock for issuance upon exercise
of options granted pursuant to the Transilica Stock Option Plan.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)

December 31, 2009



Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In August 2000, we adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan allows eligible
employees to purchase our common stock at 85% of the lower of the market value of the common stock at the beginning or end of each successive six-month offering period. Amounts deducted and accumulated by the participant are used to purchase shares
of common stock at the end of each purchase period. At December 31, 2009, we had 105,140 shares available for purchase and reserved for issuance pursuant to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

2008 Incentive Compensation Program

During the first quarter of 2008, our Board of Directors approved an annual incentive compensation program for fiscal year 2008 (2008 Bonus Program) covering executive officers and certain key managers and providing for incentive
compensation to be paid, to the extent any such compensation is earned, 40% in cash and 60% through the performance vesting of restricted stock units under the 2000 Stock Plan. An aggregate of 213,000 restricted stock units were awarded under the
2008 Bonus Program with a grant date fair value of $5.42 per share. The 2008 Bonus Program also provided for the payment of cash awards to certain key employees to the extent profitability goals were met under the 2008 Bonus Program.

On February 3, 2009, our Board of Directors determined that the executive officers covered by the 2008 Bonus Program each achieved only
a portion of the awards set forth in the 2008 Bonus Program based upon the programs profitability and revenue targets. As such, cash awards earned under the 2008 Bonus Program totaling $0.2 million were paid and approximately 49,000 restricted
stock units issued under the 2008 Bonus Program vested and the underlying shares were issued pursuant to the terms of the 2008 Bonus Program. Of the total shares issued under the 2008 Bonus Program, executive officers and certain key managers
surrendered an aggregate of 14,000 shares to satisfy minimum payroll tax withholding requirements. The cash awards were paid in February 2009. During 2008, stock-based compensation expense recognized under the 2008 Bonus Program was $0.2 million.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the first quarter of 2009 under the 2008 Bonus Program was insignificant as participants were required to be employed with us on the payment date to be eligible for awards under the 2008 Bonus
Program. During 2008, we recognized $0.2 million relating to cash awards under the 2008 Bonus Program. Charges relating to the cash awards during the first quarter of 2009 under the 2008 Bonus Program were insignificant.

2007 Incentive Compensation Program

During the first quarter of 2007, our Board of Directors approved an annual incentive compensation program for fiscal year 2007 (2007 Bonus Program) covering executive officers and providing for incentive compensation, to the extent any
such compensation was earned, to be paid 35% in cash and 65% through the performance vesting of restricted stock units under the 2000 Stock Plan. An aggregate of 197,600 restricted stock units were awarded under the 2007 Bonus Program with a grant
date fair value of $4.43 per share. The 2007 Bonus Program also provided for the payment of cash awards to certain employees to the extent any such compensation was earned.

On February 8, 2008, our Board of Directors determined that the executive officers covered by the 2007 Bonus Program each achieved the
maximum awards set forth in the 2007 Bonus Program based upon the programs profitability and revenue targets. As such, the maximum amount of cash awards under the 2007 Bonus Program were paid and the entire amount of restricted stock units
awarded under the 2007 Bonus Program vested and the underlying shares were issued pursuant to the terms of the 2007 Bonus Program. Of the total shares

issued under the 2007 Bonus Program, certain executive officers surrendered an aggregate of 51,266 shares to satisfy minimum payroll tax withholding requirements. The cash awards were paid in
February 2008. During 2007, stock-based compensation expense recognized under the 2007 Bonus Program was $0.8 million. Stock-based compensation expense of $0.1 million was recognized during the first quarter of 2008 under the 2007 Bonus Program as
participants were required to be employed with us on the payment date to be eligible for awards under the 2007 Bonus Program. During 2007, we recognized $1.6 million relating to the cash awards under the 2007 Bonus Program. We recognized $0.3
million relating to the cash awards during the first quarter of 2008 under the 2007 Bonus Program.

Tender Offer to Amend Stock Options

On December 4, 2007, we completed a tender offer with eligible employees, as defined in the tender offer documents,
to amend certain stock options to purchase 1,313,738 shares of our common stock to increase the exercise price of portions of those stock options in order to limit the potential adverse personal tax consequences that applied to those stock options
under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the final regulations promulgated by the IRS thereunder. The eligible stock option grants, as defined in the tender offer documents, that were the subject of the tender offer were granted
under either our 1996 Stock Option Plan or our 2000 Stock Plan. At December 31, 2007, the accrued compensation included $0.5 million for cash payments due under the tender offer. These cash payments were made in January 2008 in accordance with
the provisions of the tender offer. During the fourth quarter of 2007, we recorded a charge of $0.2 million to account for the stock option amendments under the tender offer in accordance with ASC 718. At December 31, 2009, the cash payments
due under the tender offer included in accrued compensation were insignificant. These cash payments were made during January 2010 in accordance with the provisions of the tender offer. During 2009 and 2008, the charge to account for the stock option
amendments under the tender offer was $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Charges in 2010 for potential future cash payments as a result of this tender offer are expected to be insignificant.

Stock Repurchase Program

On April 29, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program. Under the program, we were authorized to repurchase up to $10 million of our outstanding shares of common stock until the end of 2008, through open
market and privately negotiated transactions, at times and in such amounts as we deemed appropriate. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased depended on a variety of factors including the timing of open trading windows, price, corporate
and regulatory requirements and other market conditions. The program could have been suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The stock repurchase program was funded using our available cash balances and working capital. At
December 31, 2008, upon completion of the program, we had repurchased and retired approximately 2,719,000 shares of our common stock at a cost of $8.5 million and $1.5 million was unused under the program. The program was completed on
December 31, 2008 with final repurchase activity concluding on November 30, 2008.

No stock options were granted during 2009. The
weighted-average estimated fair value of stock options granted during 2008 and 2007 was $2.01 and $2.43 per share, respectively, using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula with the following weighted-average assumptions:



|                        |      |                         |   |      |       |   |      |       |  
|----------------------- | ---- | ----------------------- | - | ---- | ----- | - | ---- | ----- | -
|                        |      | Year Ended December 31, |  
|                        | 2009 |                         |   | 2008 |       |   | 2007 |      
|Expected volatility     |      | 57.92                   | % |      | 57.30 | % |      | 55.50 | %
|Risk-free interest rate |      | 2.19                    | % |      | 2.60  | % |      | 4.50  | %
|Expected dividends      |      | 0.00                    | % |      | 0.00  | % |      | 0.00  | %
|Expected term (years)   |      | 5                       |   |      | 5     |   |      | 5     |  

The
expected volatility assumptions were based upon a combination of historical stock price volatility and implied volatility consistent with ASC 718. The historical stock price volatility was measured on a weekly basis due to the relatively high
volatility of the market value of our common stock and excluded periods before the third quarter of 2003 as the volatility during these periods was not indicative of expected volatility. Due to the relatively low volume of the traded options on our
common stock, we measured implied volatility using traded options with terms of at least 6 months. Expected volatility was calculated using 75% of the historical stock price volatility and 25% of the implied volatility.

The risk-free interest rate assumptions were based upon the implied yields from the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve with a remaining
term equal to the expected term of the options.

The expected terms of employee stock options represented the weighted-average
period the stock options were expected to remain outstanding and was based upon historical employee exercise behavior and expected employee turnover.

The average per share value of restricted stock units granted during 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $2.09, $4.58 and $4.49, respectively, using our closing stock price on the respective grant dates.

Our Employee Stock Purchase Plan has been deemed compensatory in accordance with ASC 718. Stock-based compensation relating to this plan
was estimated as of the respective grant dates of the purchase rights provided to employees under the plan using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula and the same

assumptions used for valuing stock options as disclosed under ASC 718 above. The weighted-average estimated value of the purchase rights outstanding under this plan during 2009, 2008 and 2007 was
$0.67, $1.29 and $1.77 per right, respectively. During 2009, 2008 and 2007, we recognized $0.4 million, $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense relating to the plan. The total intrinsic value of purchase
rights exercised during 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $0.4 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

At
December 31, 2009, the balance of unearned stock-based compensation to be expensed in future periods related to unvested share-based awards, as adjusted for expected forfeitures, was approximately $4.5 million. The weighted-average period
over which the unearned stock-based compensation was expected to be recognized was approximately 2 years. We anticipate that we will grant additional share-based awards to employees in the future, which will increase the stock-based compensation
expense by the additional unearned compensation resulting from these grants. The fair value of these grants is not included in the amount above, as the impact of these grants cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on the number of
share-based payments granted. In addition, if factors change and we employ different assumptions in the application of ASC 718 in future periods, the stock-based compensation expense that we record under ASC 718 may differ significantly from what we
have recorded in the current period.

12.    Employee Benefit Plans

We offer a 401(k) plan whereby employees who participate may contribute up to 20% of pre-tax salary to the plan, subject to IRS limitations
including any catch-up provisions. Under our 401(k) plan, we may elect to make voluntary contributions. In the first quarter of 2007, our Board of Directors approved a program to match a portion of the cash contributions made by employees to their
401(k) accounts. During 2009, 2008 and 2007, we made matching contributions of $0.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, to 401(k) accounts of our employees.

Microtune KG, our German operating company, and its subsidiaries sponsor defined contribution retirement plans for its employees. Retirement
benefit expense was $0.2 million for 2009 and $0.1 million for 2008 and 2007, respectively.

13.    Restructuring Cost

In October 2009, we finalized a restructuring plan that included a reduction in force that resulted in the
termination or attrition of approximately 10% of our workforce. The reduction in force was substantially completed during the fourth quarter of 2009. These actions were taken as part of a larger cost reduction effort in order to streamline
operations and more closely align costs with revenue in an effort to achieve profitability as quickly as possible in the current challenging economic environment. We recorded restructuring charges related to this plan of $1.7 million during the
fourth quarter of 2009. The following table summarizes the restructuring activity (in thousands):

The remaining cash severance payments will be made during the first half of 2010.
