NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (the Company) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 25, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2004.

The Company has a 52-to-53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Saturday in June. Accordingly, every sixth or seventh fiscal year will be a 53-week fiscal year. Fiscal years 2005 and 2004 are 52-week fiscal years.

NOTE 2: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for its stock option and employee stock purchase plans using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board’s Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Accordingly, employee and director compensation expense is recognized only for those options whose price is less than fair market value at the measurement date. In addition, the Company discloses pro forma information related to its stock plans according to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS 148), “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure.”

Under SFAS 123, the Company may elect to continue to account for the grant of stock options under APB 25, in which options granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant do not require recognition of expense in the Company’s financial statements. The Company is, however, required to provide pro forma disclosure regarding net income and earnings per share as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options and employee stock purchase rights (including shares issued under 1996 Stock Incentive Plan, 1993 Officer and Director Stock Option Plan, 1987 Stock Option Plan, 1987 Supplemental Stock Option Plan, 1987 Employee Stock Participation Plan (ESP Plan), and Supplemental Nonemployee Stock Option Plan) granted subsequent to June 30, 1995, under the methodology prescribed by that statement. Since the Company has elected to account for the grant of options under APB 25, the following information is for disclosure purposes only.

As required under SFAS 148, the reported net income and earnings per share have been presented to reflect the impact had the Company been required to include the amortization of the Black-Scholes option value as an expense. The pro forma amounts are as follows:

	$	146,582	$	117,785

NOTE 4: OTHER ASSETS

Included in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 25, 2004 is $8.4 million of intellectual property. The intellectual property is being amortized over ten years, which is its estimated useful life. The intellectual property acquired by the Company is being used to design and develop new products as well as in some products currently in production. As required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS 144), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the Company assessed the recoverability of the intellectual property whenever an indicator of impairment exists. There were no indicators of impairment as of December 25, 2004. Should it be determined in a future period that the projected remaining discounted cash flows attributable to products designed and developed with the acquired intellectual property are less than the net book value represented by the intellectual property, the Company’s results of operations could be materially adversely impacted in the period such determination is made.

Also included in other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 25, 2004 are loans to employees of approximately $8.9 million. These loans are collateralized. To the extent such collateral is not sufficient to cover the amounts owed, there is risk of loss to the Company. To date, the Company has not experienced any material losses related to these employee loans.

NOTE 5: EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share incorporate the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options. The number of incremental shares from the assumed issuance of stock options is calculated by applying the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

Basic	$	0.44	$	0.30	$	0.89	$	0.57

Diluted	$	0.42	$	0.28	$	0.84	$	0.53

Approximately 22.0 million and 9.6 million of the Company’s stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ending December 25, 2004 and December 27, 2003, respectively. Approximately 21.9 million and 17.3 million of the Company’s stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the six months ending December 25, 2004 and December 27, 2003, respectively. These options were excluded, as they were antidilutive; however, such options could be dilutive in the future.

NOTE 6: SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

All short-term investments at December 25, 2004 are classified as available-for-sale and consist primarily of U.S. Treasury and Federal Agency debt securities with original maturities beyond three months. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, on securities in this category are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest earned on securities is included in interest income and other, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Included in cash and cash equivalents at December 25, 2004 is $21.0 million of restricted cash.

NOTE 9: INCOME TAXES

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the one-time favorable foreign dividend provisions enacted on October 22, 2004, as part of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. The Company may decide to repatriate earnings to take advantage of these provisions, however, any such repatriations are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

NOTE 10: CONTINGENCIES

On June 26, 1997, a complaint was filed by Linear Technology Corporation (LTC) naming the Company and certain other unrelated parties as defendants. The complaint alleges that each of the defendants, including the Company, has willfully infringed, induced infringement and contributorily infringed LTC’s United States Patent 5,481,178 relating to control circuits and methods for maintaining high efficiencies over broad current ranges in a switching regulator circuit, all of which has allegedly damaged LTC in an unspecified amount. The complaint further alleges that the Company’s actions have been, and continue to be, willful and deliberate and seeks a permanent injunction against the Company as well as unspecified actual and treble damages including costs, expenses, and attorneys fees. The Company answered the complaint on October 20, 1997, denying all of LTC’s substantive allegations and counterclaiming for a declaration that LTC’s patent is invalid and not infringed.

On September 21, 2001, the Federal District Court for the Northern District of California issued an order dismissing the patent litigation action by LTC. The Company had moved for summary judgment on a number of subjects, including noninfringement, invalidity and unenforceability of the patent. LTC appealed the decision. In June 2004, the appellate court remanded the matter to the trial court for trial. The Company then filed a request for rehearing on two issues. After making certain amendments to its opinion, the appellate court again remanded the matter for trial. The Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the financial position or liquidity of the Company. However, were LTC to prevail in its claims against the Company, the Company’s operating results could be materially adversely affected.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On December 12, 2002, Qualcomm Inc. filed and on February 4, 2003, Qualcomm Inc. served the Company with a complaint for patent infringement claiming that certain of the Company’s products infringe one or more of Qualcomm’s patents. Qualcomm seeks a preliminary and permanent injunction as well as unspecified actual and treble damages including costs, expenses and attorneys fees. Qualcomm withdrew one of its patents from the claim in June 2003 and another in May 2004, and has added three more related patents. The Company is presently reviewing these claims and does not believe that the products in question infringe upon Qualcomm patents. In May 2004, the Company won a motion for summary judgment on the issue of the inducement of infringement by its customers. In January, 2005, Qualcomm brought a motion for a preliminary injunction to toll the Company’s production and sale of certain products for alleged misappropriation of Qualcomm’s trade secrets. The court denied this request but enjoined the Company from receiving any of Qualcomm’s confidential information from third parties. While no assurance can be given in this regard, the Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of the action will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or liquidity of the Company. However, were Qualcomm to prevail in its claims against the Company, the Company’s operating results could be materially adversely affected.

In addition to the above, the Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of its business. The Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.

NOTE 11: INDEMNIFICATION

The Company indemnifies certain customers, distributors, suppliers, and subcontractors for attorney fees and damages and costs awarded against these parties in certain circumstances in which the Company’s products are alleged to infringe third party intellectual property rights, including patents, registered trademarks, or copyrights. The terms of the Company’s indemnification obligations are generally perpetual from the effective date of the agreement. In certain cases, there are limits on and exceptions to our potential liability for indemnification relating to intellectual property infringement claims. The Company cannot estimate the amount of potential future payments, if any, that the Company might be required to make as a result of these agreements. To date, the Company has not paid or been required to defend any indemnification claims, and accordingly, the Company has not accrued any amounts for our indemnification obligations. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will not have any future financial exposure under those indemnification obligations.

NOTE 12: PRODUCT WARRANTY

The Company warrants its products to its customers generally for one year from the date of shipment, but in certain cases for longer periods. In certain other cases, the Company warrants products to include significant liability beyond the cost of replacing the product. If there is a material increase in the rate of customer claims or the Company’s estimates of probable losses relating to specifically identified warranty exposures are inaccurate, the Company may record a charge against future cost of goods sold. Warranty expense has historically been immaterial to the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 13: SELF-INSURANCE ACCRUALS

The Company is self-insured with respect to defective product claims, employment practice claims, worker’s compensation claims, and general liability. Accruals are primarily based on the actuarially estimated, undiscounted cost of claims, which includes incurred-but-not-reported claims. Amounts accrued for defective product claims, employment practice claims, worker’s compensation claims and general liability are included in accrued expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In addition to the above, the Company is primarily self-insured with respect to healthcare benefits for most of its domestic (United States) employees. Accruals are primarily based on estimated incurred-but-not-reported claims. Amounts accrued for employee healthcare claims are included in salary and salary related expenses.

NOTE 14: COMMON STOCK REPURCHASES

In fiscal year 2002, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 20 million shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time at the discretion of the Company’s management between the dates of such authorizations and the end of the Company’s fiscal year 2003. In May 2003, the Board of Directors extended the share repurchase authorization noted above to the end of the Company’s fiscal year 2004. In March 2004, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase an additional 10 million shares of the Company’s common stock; such share repurchase authorization has no expiration date. During fiscal year 2004, the Company repurchased approximately 12.4 million shares of its common stock for $601.2 million. As of June 26, 2004, approximately 4.0 million shares remained available under the repurchase authorization.

During the six months ended December 25, 2004, the Company repurchased approximately 1.6 million shares of its common stock for $72.3 million. As of December 25, 2004, approximately 2.4 million shares remained available under the repurchase authorization. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of such repurchases will be based on several factors, including the price of the Company’s common stock, general market and business conditions, level of option exercise activity by the employee base and other factors.

NOTE 15: DEFERRED COMPENSATION

The Company and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) have entered into a deferred compensation plan, pursuant to which the CEO defers receipt of a portion of his cash compensation. Deferred payments bear interest at the rate equal to the interest rate that employees of the Company are required to pay the Company under the Company’s employee loan program. Deferred payments, including interest, are payable beginning upon the CEO’s termination as an employee or service provider to the Company, in approximately equal quarterly installments over a five year period, or upon his death, payable to his designated beneficiary, in a lump sum payment as soon as administratively possible or in the event of an unforeseeable emergency. As of December 25, 2004, the CEO’s deferred compensation balance, including interest thereon, totaled $23.5 million and is included in accrued salary and related expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 16: NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151 (SFAS 151), “Inventory Costs, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 43, Chapter 4.” SFAS 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). SFAS 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal.” In addition, SFAS 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of SFAS 151 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS 151 and does not believe that its adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS 123(R)), “Share-Based Payment.” SFAS 123(R) replaces Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and supersedes Accounting Principal Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 123(R) requires that compensation costs relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Compensation costs will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS 123(R) is effective as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS 123(R) and has not yet determined whether to use the modified prospective or the modified restrospective methods allowed by SFAS 123(R), nor has it determined its impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and liquidity beyond the disclosure on Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153 (SFAS 153), “Exchange of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions.”“ SFAS 153 is based on the principle that exchange of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair market value of the assets exchanged. SFAS 153 eliminates the exception of nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. SFAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS 153 and does not believe that its adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

NOTE 17: SUBSEQUENT EVENT

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2005, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share on the Company’s common stock payable on March 1, 2005 to stockholders of record on February 14, 2005.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The methods, estimates and judgments the Company uses in applying its most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results the Company reports in its financial statements. The Securities and Exchange Commission has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and require the Company to make its most difficult and subjective accounting judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, the Company’s most critical accounting policies include revenue recognition and accounts receivable allowances, which impact the recording of revenues; valuation of inventories, which impacts costs of goods sold and gross margins; the assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets, which impacts write-offs of fixed assets; accounting for income taxes, which impacts the income tax provision; and assessment of contingencies, which impacts charges recorded in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses. These policies and the estimates and judgments involved are discussed further below. The Company has other key accounting policies that either do not generally require estimates and judgments that are as difficult or subjective, or are less likely to have a material impact on the Company’s reported results of operations for a given period.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable Allowances

The Company recognizes revenue for sales to direct customers and sales to international distributors upon shipment, provided that persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, the price is fixed and determinable, title has transferred to the customer, collectibility of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured, there are no customer acceptance requirements and the Company does not have any significant post-shipment obligations. The Company estimates returns for sales to direct customers and international distributors based on historical return rates applied against current period gross revenues. Specific customer returns and allowances are considered in this estimate.

Sales to US distributors are made pursuant to agreements allowing the possibility of certain sales price rebates and for non-warranty product return privileges. The non-warranty product return privileges include allowing US distributors to rotate a small portion based on their previous 90 days of purchases. Given the uncertainties associated with the levels of non-warranty product returns and sales price rebates that could be issued to US distributors, the Company defers recognition of such revenue and related cost of goods sold until the product is sold by the US distributors to their end customers. Accounts receivable from direct customers, US distributors and international distributors are recognized and inventory is relieved upon shipment as title to inventories generally transfers upon shipment at which point the Company has a legally enforceable right to collection under normal terms. In addition, the Company estimates returns for sales to domestic distributors based on historical return rates applied against current period gross revenues.

The Company makes estimates of potential future returns and sales allowances related to current period product revenue. Management analyzes historical returns, changes in customer demand, and acceptance of products when evaluating the adequacy of returns and sales allowances. Estimates made by the Company may differ from actual returns and sales allowances. These differences may materially impact reported revenue and amounts ultimately collected on accounts receivable. In addition, the Company monitors collectibility of accounts receivable primarily through review of the accounts receivable aging. When facts and circumstances indicate the collection of specific amounts or from specific customers is at risk, the Company assesses the impact on amounts recorded for bad debts and, if necessary, will record a charge in the period such determination is made. To date, the Company has not experienced material write-offs of accounts receivable due to uncollectibility.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT’D)

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, which approximates actual cost on a first-in-first-out basis, or market value. The Company’s standard cost revision policy is to continuously monitor manufacturing variances and revise standard costs when necessary. Because of the cyclicality of the market, inventory levels, obsolescence of technology, and product life cycles, the Company generally writes down inventories to net realizable value based on 12 months forecasted product demand. Actual demand and market conditions may be lower than those projected by the Company. This difference could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s gross margin should inventory write downs beyond those initially recorded become necessary. Alternatively, should actual demand and market conditions be more favorable than those estimated by the Company, gross margin could be favorably impacted in future periods.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of property, plant and equipment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS 144), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” The Company performs periodic reviews to determine whether indicators of impairment exist that would indicate that the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment might not be fully recoverable. If facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment might not be fully recoverable, the Company compares projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated remaining useful life against their respective carrying amounts. In the event that the projected undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the assets, the assets are written down to their estimated fair market values based on the expected discounted future cash flows attributable to the assets. Evaluation of impairment of property, plant and equipment requires estimates in the forecast of future operating results that are used in the preparation of the expected future undiscounted cash flows. Actual future operating results and the remaining economic lives of the Company’s property, plant and equipment could differ from the Company’s estimates used in assessing the recoverability of these assets. These differences could result in additional impairment charges, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations.

Accounting for Income Taxes

The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the net deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, historical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and practicable tax planning strategies are considered. In the event it is determined that the deferred tax assets to be realized in the future would be in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be recorded. This adjustment would increase income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should it be determined that all or part of the net deferred tax asset would not be realized in the future, an adjustment to increase the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be charged to income in the period such determination would be made.

On a periodic basis the Company evaluates its deferred tax asset balance for realizability. To the extent the Company believes it is more likely than not that some portion of its deferred tax assets will not be realized, the Company will increase the valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets. Realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets is dependent primarily upon future U.S. taxable income. The Company’s judgments regarding future profitability may change due to future market conditions, changes in U.S. or international tax laws and other factors. These changes, if any, may require possible material adjustments to these deferred tax assets, resulting in a reduction in net income or an increase in net loss in the period when such determinations are made.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT’D)

Contingencies

From time to time, the Company receives notices that its products or manufacturing processes may be infringing the patent or intellectual property rights of others. The Company periodically assesses each matter in order to determine if a contingent liability in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 (SFAS 5), “Accounting for Contingencies,” should be recorded. In making this determination, management may, depending on the nature of the matter, consult with internal and external legal counsel and technical experts. Based on the information obtained combined with management’s judgment regarding all the facts and circumstances of each matter, the Company determines whether it is probable that a contingent loss may be incurred and whether the amount of such loss can be estimated. Should a loss be probable and estimable, the Company records a contingent loss in accordance with SFAS 5. In determining the amount of a contingent loss, the Company takes into consideration advice received from experts in the specific matter, current status of legal proceedings, settlement negotiations which may be ongoing, prior case history and other factors. Should the judgments and estimates made by management be incorrect, the Company may need to record additional contingent losses that could materially adversely impact the Company’s results of operations. Alternatively, if the judgments and estimates made by management are incorrect and a particular contingent loss does not occur, the contingent loss recorded would be reversed thus favorably impacting the Company’s results of operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Revenues

Net revenues were $436.1 million and $338.1 million for the three months ended December 25, 2004 and December 27, 2003, respectively, an increase of 29.0%. Net revenues were $871.1 million and $648.3 million for the six months ended December 25, 2004 and December 27, 2003, respectively, an increase of 34.4%. The increase in net revenues for both the three and six months ended December 25, 2004 as compared to the three and six months ended December 27, 2003 is primarily due to higher unit shipments of the Company’s products.

During the three months ended December 25, 2004 and December 27, 2003, approximately 73%, respectively, of net revenues were derived from customers outside of the United States. During the six months ended December 25, 2004 and December 27, 2003, approximately 74% and 73%, respectively, of net revenues were derived from customers outside of the United States. While the majority of these sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, the Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate its risks on firm commitments and net monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies. The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on revenue and the Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended December 25, 2004 and December 27, 2003 was immaterial.

Gross Margin

Gross margin as a percentage of net revenues was 72.6% and 69.5% for the three months ended December 25, 2004 and December 27, 2003, respectively. The gross margin percentage for the three months ended December 25, 2004 as compared to the three months ended December 27, 2003 increased primarily due to continued improvement in manufacturing efficiencies. Gross margins for the three months ended December 25, 2004 was negatively impacted due to $4.5 million of inventory write downs.

Gross margin as a percentage of net revenues was 72.5% and 69.8% for the six months ended December 25, 2004 and December 27, 2003, respectively. The gross margin percentage for the six months ended December 25, 2004 as compared to the six months ended December 27, 2003 increased primarily due to continued improvement in manufacturing efficiencies. Gross margins for the six months ended December 25, 2004 and December 27, 2003 were negatively impacted due to $8.7 million and $2.2 million of inventory write downs, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT’D)

Research and Development

Research and development expenses were $81.0 million and $71.2 million for the three months ended December 25, 2004, and December 27, 2003, respectively, which represented 18.6% and 21.1% of net revenues, respectively. The increase in research and development expenses in absolute dollars is primarily due to $5.8 million resulting from hiring additional engineers to support the Company’s research and development efforts and increases in salary related expenses.

Research and development expenses were $160.1 million and $141.3 million for the six months ended December 25, 2004, and December 27, 2003, respectively, which represented 18.4% and 21.8% of net revenues, respectively. The increase in research and development expenses in absolute dollars is primarily due to $15.3 million resulting from hiring additional engineers to support the Company’s research and development efforts and increases in salary related expenses.

The level of research and development expenditures as a percentage of net revenues will vary from period to period, depending, in part, on the level of net revenues and, in part, on the Company’s success in recruiting the technical personnel needed for its new product introductions and process development. The Company continuously attempts to control and, if possible, reduce expense levels in all areas including research and development. However, the Company views research and development expenditures as critical to maintaining a high level of new product introductions, which in turn are critical to the Company’s plan for future growth.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $25.3 million and $22.2 million for the three months ended December 25, 2004, and December 27, 2003, respectively, which represented 5.8% and 6.6% of net revenues, respectively. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses in absolute dollars for the three months ended December 25, 2004 as compared to the three months ended December 27, 2003 is primarily due to $1.3 million increase in headcount related expenses and $0.9 million increase in advertising and marketing costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $50.4 million and $43.6 million for the six months ended December 25, 2004, and December 27, 2003, respectively, which represented 5.8% and 6.7% of net revenues, respectively. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses in absolute dollars for the six months ended December 25, 2004 as compared to the six months ended December 27, 2003 is primarily due to $3.0 million increase in headcount related expenses, $2.0 million increase in legal expenses and $1.9 million increase in advertising and marketing costs.

Interest Income and Other, Net

Interest income and other, net was $6.2 million and $12.0 million for the three and six months ended December 25, 2004, respectively, compared to $5.4 million and $10.1 million for the three and six months ended December 27, 2003, respectively. The increase in interest income and other, net for three and six months ended December 25, 2004 as compared to the three and six months ended December 27, 2003 is primarily due to higher average interest rates.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT’D)

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended December 25, 2004 and December 27, 2003 was 33.2% and 33.0%, respectively. The effective rates were lower than the U.S. federal and state combined statutory rate primarily due to tax benefits on export sales.

Realization of the net deferred tax asset of $29.7 million at December 25, 2004 is dependent primarily upon achieving future U.S. taxable income of $80.2 million. The Company believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized based on historical earnings and expected levels of future taxable income. Levels of future taxable income are subject to the various risks and uncertainties as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2004. An increase in the valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets may be necessary if it becomes more likely than not that all or a portion of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company periodically assesses the need for increases to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

BOOKINGS AND BACKLOG

Bookings during the second quarter of fiscal year 2005 were approximately $353 million, a 6% decrease from the first quarter of fiscal year 2005’s level of $377 million. Turns orders received during the second quarter of fiscal year 2005 were $122 million, a 4% increase from the $117 million received during the first quarter of fiscal year 2005 (turns orders are customer orders that are for delivery within the same quarter and may result in revenue within the same quarter if the Company has available inventory that matches those orders). Bookings decreased in all geographic locations during the second quarter of fiscal year 2005 except Europe, where bookings improved modestly.

Second quarter of fiscal year 2005 ending backlog shippable within the next 12 months was approximately $370 million, including approximately $300 million requested for shipment in the third quarter of fiscal year 2005. The Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2005 ending backlog shippable within the next 12 months was approximately $458 million, including approximately $377 million that was requested for shipment in the second quarter of fiscal year 2005.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s primary sources of funds for the six months ended December 25, 2004 were from net cash generated from operating activities of $361.4 million and proceeds from the exercises of stock options and purchases of common stock under the Employee Stock Participation Plan of 3.6 million shares in the amount of $54.9 million.

Another source of cash from the Company’s stock option programs is the tax deductions that arise from exercise of options. These tax benefits amounted to $57.9 million in the six months ended December 25, 2004.

The principal uses of funds for the six months ended December 25, 2004 were the repurchase of 1.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock for $72.3 million, the payment of $58.5 million for dividends and the purchase of $97.8 million in property, plant and equipment. The Company believes that it possesses sufficient liquidity and capital resources to fund its property, plant and equipment purchases, common stock repurchases, dividend payments, and operations for at least the next twelve months. The Company plans to continue to repurchase its common stock in fiscal year 2005. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of such repurchases will be based on several factors, including the price of the Company’s common stock, general market conditions, level of option exercise activity by the employee base and other factors. See Note 14 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements regarding the status of the Company’s common stock repurchases.

The Company is subject to pending legal proceedings. See Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding pending litigation. Although the results of such legal proceedings are unpredictable, the Company does not believe that any pending legal proceedings will have a material adverse impact on its liquidity or financial position. However, were LTC or Qualcomm to prevail in their claims against the Company, the Company’s operating results could be materially adversely affected.

The following table provides a summary of the effect on liquidity and cash flows from the Company’s contractual obligations as of December 25, 2004:

The Company disclaims any duty to and undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information relating to existing conditions, future events or otherwise or to release publicly the results of any future revisions it may make to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Readers should carefully review future reports and documents that the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as its annual reports on Form 10-K (particularly Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) and any current reports on Form 8-K.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s market risk has not changed significantly from the interest rate and foreign currency risks disclosed in Item 7A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2004.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is properly and timely recorded, processed, summarized and reported. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information that the Company is required to disclose in reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

It should be noted that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance to the tested objectives. The design of any control systems is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
