NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included with our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of California Micro Devices Corporation (the “Company”, “CMD”, “we”, “us” or “our”) as of September 30, 2009, and the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and cash flows for the six month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. Results for the three and six month periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2010.

Certain prior year amounts in the financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to the current 2010 presentation. These reclassifications were not significant and had no effect on previously reported total current assets and total assets.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CMD and its wholly owned subsidiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 855 “ Subsequent Events” (ASC 855), the financial statements have been evaluated for subsequent events through November 9, 2009, the date the financial statements are issued.

2. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our estimates are based on historical experience, input from sources outside of the Company, and other relevant facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-01, Topic 105 — Generally Accepted Accounting Principles — amendments based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This Accounting Standards Update includes Statement 168 in its entirety, including the accounting standards update instructions contained in Appendix B of the Statement. The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, and as of the effective date, all existing accounting standard documents will be superseded. The Codification is effective for us in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, and accordingly, this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and all subsequent public filings will reference the Codification as the sole source of authoritative literature.

4. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash and money market funds as follows (in thousands);

	September 30,		March 31,
	2009		2009
Cash	$	17,101	$	740
Money market funds		27,161		44,865
Total cash and cash equivalents	$	44,262	$	45,605

5. Fair Value

Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 820 “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820) requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the three categories noted below. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and we consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance.

Fair Value Hierarchy

ASC 820 discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3 - Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Determination of Fair Value

As of September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, our cash equivalents of $27.2 million and $44.9 million, respectively, included money market funds and were classified as Level 1 because these securities were valued based on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities.

6. Intangible Assets

The intangible assets, net were as follows (in thousands):

	September 30,			March 31,
	2009			2009
Developed and core technology:
Gross carrying amount	$	260		$	260
Less accumulated amortization		(248	)		(237	)
Net carrying amount	$	12		$	23

Developed and core technology is being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of four years. The amortization expense for intangible assets was $6,000 and $12,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009, respectively as compared to $22,000 and $55,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.

Based on intangible assets recorded at September 30, 2009, and assuming no subsequent additions to, or impairment of, the underlying assets, the future estimated amortization expense is $12,000 in remainder of fiscal 2010.

7. Balance Sheet Components

8. Capital Lease Obligations

In October 2006, we entered into three year software lease agreements with two vendors for which the capitalized amounts were $362,000 and $34,000, respectively. The imputed interest rate for each of these leases is 8%. Both leases have three year durations, with three annual lease payments in October 2006, October 2007 and October 2008, totaling to $132,000 annually. Interest expense on these leases during the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was immaterial.

Total fixed assets purchased under capital leases and the associated accumulated amortization is classified in computer equipment and related software and was as follows (in thousands):

	September 30,			March 31,
	2009			2009
Capitalized cost	$	34		$	396
Accumulated amortization		(33	)		(319	)
Net book value	$	1		$	77

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company implemented a restructuring plan to discontinue any further development of display controller products. As a result, we impaired software, which had been purchased under capital lease, related to display controller products in addition to other assets as further discussed in Note 12 in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-Q. The impairment charge of $40,000, for software purchased under capital lease, was recorded in the line item ‘Restructuring and asset impairment charges’ within operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Amortization expense for fixed assets purchased under capital leases is included in the line item titled “Depreciation and amortization” on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

9. Employee Stock Benefit Plans

Our equity incentive program is a long-term retention program that is intended to attract and retain qualified management and technical employees and align stockholder and employee interests. Under our current equity incentive program, stock options have varying vesting periods typically over four years and are generally exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of issuance and are granted at prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the grant date. These plans are described fully in the notes to consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

Stock Options

Stock option activity for the six months ended September 30, 2009, is as follows:

Table Of Content

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on options with an exercise price less than the Company’s closing stock price of $3.22 as of September 30, 2009, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders with in-the-money options exercised and sold their options as of that date.

There were no exercises of stock options during the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

The following table summarizes the ranges of the exercise prices of outstanding and exercisable options at September 30, 2009:

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)

Our ESPP provides that eligible employees may contribute up to 15% of their eligible earnings, through accumulated payroll deductions, toward the semi-annual purchase of our common stock at 85% of the fair market value of the common stock at certain defined points in the plan offering periods. There were no shares issued under the ESPP during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. We issued 124,719 and 106,646 shares under the ESPP during the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Net cash proceeds from the ESPP were $209,000 and $271,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Shares Available for Future Issuance under Employee Benefit Plans

As of September 30, 2009, 1,551,858 shares were available for future issuance, which included 1,201,312 shares of common stock available for issuance under our 2004 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, 341,546 under our ESPP and 9,000 under our UK Sub-Plan.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The following table sets forth the total stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 resulting from employee stock options and our ESPP included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 718 “ Compensation - Stock Compensation” (ASC 718) (in thousands):

The effect of recording employee stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Six Months Ended September 30,
	2009			2008			2009			2008
Impact on loss before income taxes	$	(509	)	$	(592	)	$	(905	)	$	(1,156	)

Impact on basic and diluted net loss per share	$	(0.02	)	$	(0.03	)	$	(0.04	)	$	(0.05	)

No income tax benefit was realized from ESPP purchases during the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

The fair value of stock-based awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted average assumptions for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Six Months Ended September 30,
Employee Stock Options:	2009			2008			2009			2008
Weighted average fair value	$	1.53		$	1.55		$	1.47		$	1.55
Expected life in years		4.39			4.39			4.39			4.35
Volatility		0.63			0.63			0.63			0.63
Risk-free interest rate		1.95	%		2.94	%		1.95	%		2.91	%
Dividend Yield		0	%		0	%		0	%		0	%

ESPP:
Weighted average fair value	$	0.96		$	0.92		$	0.96		$	0.92
Expected life in years		0.50			0.50			0.50			0.50

Risk-free interest rate		0.30	%		1.74	%		0.30	%		1.74	%
Dividend Yield		0	%		0	%		0	%		0	%

We currently estimate our forfeiture rate to be 19%, which is based on an analysis of expected forfeiture data using our current demographics and probabilities of employee turnover.

As of September 30, 2009, we had $0.8 million of total unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to stock options that will be recognized over the weighted average period of 1.6 years.

11. Stock Repurchase Program; Treasury Shares

In the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company announced that its board of directors had authorized a program to repurchase up to 1 million shares of its outstanding common stock, the exact amount and timing of which will be subject to market conditions, legal requirements and management's judgment as well as other factors. The repurchase transactions may take place in the open market or via private negotiations. The repurchase program may be modified, extended or terminated by the board of directors at any time. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2009, we repurchased 75,265 shares and 161,766 shares, respectively under this program for $223,000 and $460,000, respectively. As of September 30, 2009, 164,911 shares of common stock remain authorized for repurchase under our repurchase program.

12. Restructuring and asset impairment charges

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company implemented a restructuring plan to discontinue any further development of display controller products. As a result, we have reduced our workforce through involuntary terminations and impaired some of our assets related to display controller products.

Restructuring and asset impairment charges during three and six months ended September 30, 2009 were as follows (in thousands):

	Amount
Employee severance	$	214
Contract termination costs		51
Asset impairment charges		452
Total	$	717

Restructuring charges incurred during the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 were recorded in the line item ‘Restructuring and asset impairment charges’ within operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were no restructuring charges incurred during the three and six months ended September 30, 2008.

The following table summarizes the restructuring and asset impairment activities through September 30, 2009 (in thousands):

	Employee			Contract		Asset
	Severance			Termination		Impairment			Total
Accrued restructuring balance as of July 1, 2009	$	-		$	-	$	-		$	-

13. Income Taxes

We determine the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification Topic No. 740 “ Income Taxes ” (ASC 740). The amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of April 1, 2009 was $255,000, including interest. For the six months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded a net increase of $2,000 of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest.

Our policy is to include interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. The amount of interest and penalties as of April 1, 2009 was $62,000. The additional amount of interest and penalties for the six months ended September 30, 2009 was $5,000.

We estimated that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009 will not be realized in the following year. As of September 30, 2009, a full valuation allowance of approximately $29.2 million was recorded against the deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance is increased by approximately $3.0 million during the six months ended September 30, 2009 due to our anticipated inability to realize additional deferred tax assets generated during the six months ended September 30, 2009.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in several states and foreign jurisdictions. As of September 30, 2009, the federal returns for the years ended March 31, 2006 through the current period and certain state returns for the years ended March 31, 2005 through the current period are still open to examination. However, due to the fact the Company had net operating losses and credits carried forward in most jurisdictions, certain items attributable to technically closed years are still subject to adjustment by the relevant taxing authority through an adjustment to tax attributes carried forward to open years.

14. Net Loss Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Six Months Ended September 30,
	2009			2008			2009			2008
Net loss	$	(3,474	)	$	(1,965	)	$	(6,926	)	$	(2,883	)
Weighted average common shares outstanding used in the calculation of net loss per share - basic and diluted		22,892			23,392			22,892			23,379
Net loss per share - basic and diluted	$	(0.15	)	$	(0.08	)	$	(0.30	)	$	(0.12	)

Basic and diluted net loss per share was computed using the net loss and weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Due to our net loss for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, all of our stock options outstanding, as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, to purchase 5,102,000 and 5,516,000, respectively, of the Company’s common stock were excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

15. Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and unrealized gain (loss) on our available for sale securities. Comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Six Months Ended September 30,
	2009			2008			2009			2008
Net loss	$	(3,474	)	$	(1,965	)	$	(6,926	)	$	(2,883	)
Unrealized gain (loss) on available for sale securities		-			9			-			(29	)
Comprehensive loss	$	(3,474	)	$	(1,956	)	$	(6,926	)	$	(2,912	)

Property, plant and equipment including equipment on consignment are stated at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. For equipment on consignment, the Company requires an agreement with the consignee. A detailed list of the consigned equipment, if any, must be included with the agreement. In fiscal 2008, we entered into an agreement with SPEL, one of our sub-contractors in India, consigning test and packaging equipment to them, in order to increase their production capacity, in return for periodic repayments and lower product pricing. As of September 30, 2009, we have $0.8 million, $0.4 million and $0.2 million of equipment on consignment in India, Thailand and China, respectively. Property, plant and equipment, net by geographic location are summarized as follows (in millions):

17. Contingencies

Environmental

We have been subject to a variety of federal, state and local regulations in connection with the discharge and storage of certain chemicals used in our manufacturing processes, which are now fully outsourced to independent contract manufacturers. We have obtained all necessary permits for such discharges and storage, and we believe that we have been in substantial compliance with the applicable environmental regulations. Industrial waste generated at our facilities was either processed prior to discharge or stored in double-lined barrels until removed by an independent contractor. With the completion of our Milpitas site remediation and the closure of our Tempe facility during fiscal 2005, we now expect our environmental compliance costs to be minimal.

Indemnification Obligations

We enter into certain types of contracts from time to time that require us to indemnify parties against third party claims. These contracts primarily relate to (1) certain agreements with our directors and officers under which we may be required to indemnify them for the liabilities arising out of their efforts on behalf of the Company; and (2) agreements under which we have agreed to indemnify our contract manufacturers and customers for claims arising from intellectual property infringement or in some instances from product defects or other issues. The conditions of these obligations vary and generally a maximum obligation is not explicitly stated. Because the obligated amounts under these types of agreements often are not explicitly stated, the overall maximum amount of the obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. We have not historically paid out any amounts related to these indemnification obligations and have no pending claims for indemnification; therefore we have not recorded any associated obligations at September 30, 2009, and March 31, 2009. We carry coverage under certain insurance policies to protect ourselves in the case of any unexpected liability; however, this coverage may not be sufficient.

Product Warranty

We typically provide a one-year warranty that our products will be free from defects in material and workmanship and will substantially conform in all material respects to our most recently published applicable specifications although sometimes we provide shorter or longer warranties. We have experienced minimal warranty claims in the past, and we accrue for such contingencies in our sales allowances and return reserves.

18. Subsequent Event

During the third quarter of fiscal 2010, stockholder Dialectic Capital Management requested that the Company reimburse its expenses incurred in the proxy contest in which its three nominees, including a party related to Dialectic Capital, were elected to our board of directors. The amount requested is approximately $430,000. Our board of directors has not yet decided whether to grant this request and the matter is under consideration.

Executive Overview

We design and sell application specific protection devices for high volume applications in the mobile handset, High Brightness LED (HBLED), digital consumer electronics and personal computer markets. These protection devices provide Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) filtering and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection. End customers for our semiconductor products are original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). We sell to some of these end customers through original design manufacturers (ODMs) and contract electronics manufacturers (CEMs). We use a direct sales force, manufacturers’ representatives and distributors to sell our products. Our manufacturing is completely outsourced and we use merchant foundries to fabricate our wafers and subcontractors to do backend processing and to ship to our customers. We have one operating segment and most of our physical assets are located outside the United States. Assets located outside the United States include product inventories and manufacturing equipment consigned to our wafer foundries and backend subcontractors.

Net sales during the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $11.1 million, a decrease of $5.2 million or 32% from $16.3 million of net sales in the same period a year ago. Sales from products for the mobile handset market decreased by $4.4 million or 41% during the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to lower sales of our protection products to one of the top five handset manufacturers and lower sales of our display controller products. Sales from products for the digital consumer electronics and personal computers markets decreased to $4.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $4.3 million in the same period a year ago, down $0.3 million or 7% due to decrease sales of our mature products partially offset by an increase in sales of our low capacitance products particularly PicoGuard®. Sales from products for the HBLED market decreased to $0.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $1.3 million in the same period a year ago, down $0.5 million or 38% primarily due to inventory adjustment at a major customer.

Net sales during the six months ended September 30, 2009 were $20.5 million, a decrease of $9.9 million or 33% from $30.4 million of net sales in the same period a year ago. Sales from products for the mobile handset market decreased by $7.9 million or 42% during the six months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to lower sales of our protection products to one of the top five handset manufacturers. Sales from products for the digital consumer electronics and personal computer market decreased to $7.7 million during the six months ended September 30, 2009 from $8.9 million in the same period a year ago, down $1.2 million or 13% due to decrease sales of our mature products partially offset by an increase in sales of our low capacitance products particularly PicoGuard®. Sales from products for HBLED market decreased to $1.8 million during the six months ended September 30, 2009 from $2.6 million in the same period a year ago, down $0.8 million or 31% primarily due to inventory adjustment at a major customer.

Gross Margin

Gross margin decreased by $2.2 million and $4.6 million during the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same periods a year ago, due to the following reasons:

	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
Gross margin increase (decrease) compared to prior periods (in millions):	September 30, 2009			September 30, 2009
Price change of products based on a constant mix	$	(1.5	)	$	(3.1	)
Direct cost reductions of our products based on a constant mix		0.7			1.3
Volume, mix and other factors		(1.4	)		(2.8	)
	$	(2.2	)	$	(4.6	)

The gross margin decrease was primarily driven by price declines of our products and lower shipments partially offset by product cost reductions. Our ASP declined 12% based on a constant mix of products in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 as compared to the same period a year ago. In the future we expect our ASP for similar products, based on a constant mix of products, to decline at the rate of 10% to 15% per year. The cost reductions of our products were primarily driven by outsourcing with lower cost subcontractors, migrating from 6" to 8" wafer size and continued improvement in our assembly and testing processes.

As a percentage of sales, gross margin decreased to 26% and 25%, respectively for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to 31% and 32%, respectively for the same periods a year ago. Our long-range gross margin target is 35% to 40%. Our gross margin has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including average selling price of our products, the product volume and mix, the timing of cost reductions for our wafer and assembly and test as well as inventory valuation charges.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for employees, prototypes, masks and other expenses for the development of new products, process technology and packages. The change in research and development expenses for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the same periods a year ago, is as follows:

	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
Expense increase (decrease) compared to prior periods (in thousands):	September 30, 2009			September 30, 2009
Outside services	$	(466	)	$	(740	)
Salaries and benefits		(206	)		(342	)
Product related costs		(306	)		(151	)
Other costs		(99	)		(11	)
	$	(1,077	)	$	(1,244	)

Research and development expenses decreased by $1.1 million or 37% and $1.2 million or 24%, respectively during the three and six months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the same periods a year ago, primarily as a result of discontinuance of further development of display controller products during the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

As a percentage of sales, research and development expenses decreased to 16% during the three months ended September 30, 2009 from 18% during the same period a year ago. Despite a decrease in research and development expenses, as a percentage of sales, research and development expenses increased to 19% during the six months ended September 30, 2009 from 17% during the same period a year ago primarily due to the decrease in net sales. We expect the research and development expenses, both as a percentage of sales and in dollars, to decline significantly starting with the third quarter of fiscal 2010 primarily as a result of discontinuance of further development of display controller products. Our long term target for research and development expenses is 9% to 11% of sales.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and other employee related costs; sales commissions; marketing expenses; legal, accounting, and other professional fees; and information technology expenses. The change in selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the same periods a year ago, is as follows:

	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
Expense increase (decrease) compared to prior periods (in thousands):	September 30, 2009			September 30, 2009
Salaries and benefits	$	(369	)	$	(465	)
Sales Commissions		(116	)		(220	)
Travel expenses		(47	)		(128	)
Stock based compensation charge		(40	)		(131	)
Other expenses		(16	)		4
Proxy related expenses		582			686
	$	(6	)	$	(254	)

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $6,000 or 0% and $254,000 or 3%, respectively during the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same periods a year ago primarily due to decreases in salaries and benefits, sales commissions, travel expenses and stock based compensation charge which was largely offset by an increase in proxy related expenses.

- 19 of 46 -

Table Of Content

Decrease in salaries and benefits was primarily the result of headcount reduction, no target bonus payouts and mandatory time off for all employees of the Company; decrease in sales commission was due to reduced sales during the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same periods a year ago; and decrease in travel expenses was the result of cost cutting measures taken by the Company to reduce discretionary spending.

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2009, we incurred additional proxy expenses of $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively as compared to the same periods a year ago, primarily due to the contested solicitation for election of directors in the 2009 annual meeting of shareholders.

As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 34% and 36%, respectively during the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 from 23% and 25%, respectively during the same periods a year ago, primarily due to additional proxy related expenses as a result of contested solicitation for election of directors. Our long term target for selling, general and administrative expenses is 16% to 20% of sales.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets was $6,000 and $12,000, respectively during the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $22,000 and $55,000, respectively during the same periods a year ago. The decrease in amortization expense during the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same periods a year ago was due to the intervening sale of certain intangible assets and partial impairment of others. For additional information regarding intangible assets, see Note 6 of notes to condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.

Restructuring and asset impairment charges

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, we implemented a restructuring plan to discontinue any further development of display controller products. As a result, we have reduced our workforce through involuntary terminations and impaired some of our assets related to display controller products. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2009, restructuring and asset impairment charges were $717,000, out of which employee severance, contract termination costs and asset impairment charges were $214,000, $51,000 and $452,000 respectively. As of September 30, 2009, we had $91,000 of accrued restructuring liability which is expected to be paid during the remainder of current fiscal year 2010. We expect to fund the obligations with cash on hand.

There were no restructuring charges incurred during the three and six months ended September 30, 2008.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net, mainly includes interest income, interest expense and other non-operating income and expense.

Interest income decreased by $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively during the three and six months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the same periods a year ago primarily as a result of the overall decline in interest rates and our moving our short-term investments into money market funds and to a lesser extent due to our reduced total amount of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. We expect interest income, in the near future, to remain at this reduced level unless interest rates increase materially or we change the instruments in which we invest.

Table Of Content

Interest expense was immaterial during the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

Other non-operating income decreased by $1.0 million during the three and six months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the same periods a year ago primarily due to the gain on sale of LED Driver intellectual property and related fixed assets during the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

Income Taxes

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded an income tax expense of $41,000 and $23,000 respectively as compared to $1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively during the same periods a year ago. Our income tax expense decreased during the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same periods a year ago, primarily as a result of our changed estimates of our ability to utilize loss carryforwards and the increased valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. See Note 13 in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-Q for further discussion.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and the known facts and circumstances that we believe are relevant. We have not made any material changes in the accounting methodology used to establish our estimates and assumptions during the second quarter of fiscal 2010. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the accounting methodology used to establish our estimates or assumptions. However, actual results may differ materially from our estimates. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of notes to consolidated financial statements in our annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. The significant accounting policies that we believe are critical, either because they relate to financial line items that are key indicators of our financial performance such as revenue or because their application requires significant management judgment, are described in the following paragraphs:

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery or customer acceptance, where applicable, has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.

Revenue from product sales to end user customers, or to distributors that do not receive price concessions and do not have return rights, is recognized upon shipment and transfer of risk of loss, if we believe collection is reasonably assured and all other revenue recognition criteria are met. We assess the probability of collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history and customer credit worthiness. If we determine that collection of a receivable is not probable, we defer recognition of revenue until the collection becomes probable, which is generally upon receipt of cash. Reserves for sales returns and allowances from end user customers are estimated based on historical experience and management judgment, and are provided for at the time of shipment. The sufficiency of the reserves for sales return and allowances is assessed at the end of each reporting period.

Revenue from sales of our standard products to distributors, for which we provide price concessions or product return rights, is recognized when the distributor sells the product to an end customer. When we sell such products to distributors, we defer our gross selling price of the product shipped and its related cost and reflect such net amounts on our balance sheet as a current liability entitled “deferred margin on shipments to distributors”. We receive periodic reports from our distributors of their inventory of our products and when we test our inventory in order to determine the extent, if any, to which we have excess or obsolete inventory, we also test the inventory held by our distributors. For our custom products and end of life products, if we believe that collection is probable, we recognize revenue upon shipment to the distributor, because our contractual arrangements provide for no right of return or price concessions for those products.

- 21 of 46 -

Table Of Content

We typically have written agreements with our distributors which provide that (1) if we lower our distributor list price, our distributors may request for a limited time period a credit for the differential of eligible product in the distributor's inventory and (2) periodically, our distributors have the right to return eligible product to us, provided that the amount returned must be limited to a certain agreed percentage of the value of our shipments to them during such period. Product over a certain age may not be returned and there is a restocking charge if the distributor has not placed a recent commensurate replacement stocking order.

Inventories

Forecasting customer demand is the factor in our inventory policy that involves significant judgments and estimates. We estimate excess and obsolete inventory based on a comparison of the quantity and cost of inventory on hand to management’s forecast of customer demand for the next twelve months. In forecasting customer demand, we make estimates as to, among other things, the timing of sales, the mix of products sold to customers, the timing of design wins and related volume purchases by new and existing customers, and the timing of existing customers’ transition to new products. We also use historical trends as a factor in forecasting customer demand, especially that from our distributors. We review our excess and obsolete inventory on a quarterly basis considering the known facts. Once inventory is written down, it is valued as such until it is sold or otherwise disposed of. To the extent that our forecast of customer demand materially differs from actual demand, our cost of sales and gross margin could be impacted.

Impairment of long lived assets

Long lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows from the use of the asset is less than the carrying value of the asset. The amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying value of the assets and their estimated fair value.

Stock-based Compensation

In accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 718 “ Compensation – Stock Compensation ” (ASC 718), we estimate the stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognize it as an expense on a graded vesting schedule over the requisite service period of the award.

We estimate the value of employee stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The determination of fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The use of the Black-Scholes model requires the use of extensive actual employee exercise behavior data and a number of complex assumptions including expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends.

Our computation of expected volatility is based on a combination of historical and market-based implied volatility. Our computation of expected life is based on a combination of historical exercise patterns and certain assumptions regarding the exercise life of unexercised options adjusted for job level and demographics. The interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the award is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The dividend yield assumption is based on our history and expectation of dividend payouts.

As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on an average of historical forfeitures. The expense that we recognize in future periods could differ significantly from the current period and/or our forecasts due to adjustments in assumed forfeiture rates or change in our assumptions.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method; which requires significant judgments in making estimates for determining certain tax liabilities and recoverability of certain deferred tax assets, including the tax effects attributable to net operating loss carryforwards and temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expenses, as well as the interest and penalties relating to these uncertain tax positions.

On a quarterly basis, we evaluate our ability to recover our deferred tax assets, including but not limited to our past operating results, the existence of cumulative losses in the most recent fiscal years, and our forecast of future taxable income on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis. In the event that actual results differ from our estimates in the future, we will adjust the amount of the valuation allowance that may result in a decrease or increase in income tax expense in those periods.

We recognize liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process prescribed in ASC 740. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step requires us to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as this requires us to determine the probability of various possible outcomes. We will evaluate these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. A change in recognition or measurement in the future may result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision in the period.

See Note 13 in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-Q for further discussion.

Litigation

We are, on occasion, a party to lawsuits, claims, investigations, and proceedings, including commercial and employment matters, which are being addressed in the ordinary course of business. We review the current status of any pending or threatened proceedings with our outside counsel on a regular basis and, considering all the known relevant facts and circumstances, we recognize any loss that we consider probable and estimable as of the balance sheet date. For these purposes, we consider settlement offers we may make to be indicative of such a loss under certain circumstances. As of September 30, 2009, there was no accrual for litigation related matters.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed our operations through a combination of debt and equity financing and cash generated from operations. As highlighted in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company’s liquidity and available capital resources are impacted by the following key components: (i) cash and cash equivalents, (ii) operating activities, (iii) investing activities, and (iv) financing activities.

	Six Months Ended September 30,
(In thousands)	2009			2008
Cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	(1,003	)	$	561
Cash provided by (used in) investing activities		(88	)		9,977
Cash used in financing activities		(252	)		(26	)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(1,343	)	$	10,512

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents were $44.3 million as of September 30, 2009 compared to $45.6 million as of March 31, 2009, a decrease of $1.3 million primarily due to cash used in operating activities.

Operating activities

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities consists of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities.

During the six months ended September 30, 2009, cash used in operating activities was $1.0 million. The net loss of $6.9 million included non-cash items, such as employee stock-based compensation expense of $0.9 million, depreciation and amortization of $1.1 million and impairment of fixed assets of $0.3 million. Accounts receivable increased to $4.4 million at September 30, 2009 as compared to $4.2 million at March 31, 2009. Annualized receivables days of sales outstanding were 38 days at September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009. Net inventory reduced to $3.7 million as of September 30, 2009 as compared to $5.2 million as of March 31, 2009. Annualized inventory turns were 6.8 at September 30, 2009 and 5.9 at March 31, 2009. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased to $7.0 million at September 30, 2009 as compared to $5.4 million at March 31, 2009. Annualized days payables outstanding were 50 days and 48 days at September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively. Deferred margin on shipments to distributors was $1.1 million as of September 30, 2009 compared to $1.0 million as of March 31, 2009.

During six months ended September 30, 2008, cash provided by operating activities was $0.6 million. The net loss of $2.9 million during the six months ended September 30, 2008 included non-cash items, such as employee stock-based compensation expense of $1.2 million, and depreciation and amortization of $1.3 million. Accounts receivable increased to $7.4 million at September 30, 2008 compared to $6.2 million at March 31, 2008, mainly as a result of change in our customer mix. Receivables days of sales outstanding were 42 days and 38 days at September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively. Net inventory was $6.9 million as of September 30, 2008, compared to $6.4 million as of March 31, 2008. Annualized inventory turns were 6.2 at September 30, 2008 as compared to 6.8 at March 31, 2008. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities totaled $10.5 million at September 30, 2008 compared to $8.3 million at March 31, 2008. Annualized days payable outstanding increased to 57 at September 30, 2008 from 50 at March 31, 2008. Deferred margin on shipments to distributors decreased to $1.8 million as of September 30, 2008 from $1.9 million as of March 31, 2008.

Investing activities

Investing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2009 used $88,000 of cash, due to payments for capital expenditures.

- 24 of 46 -

Table Of Content

Investing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2008 provided $10.0 million of cash, primarily due to $9.2 million of proceeds from net maturities of short-term investments and $1.15 million of proceeds from the sale of LED Driver intellectual property and related fixed assets partially offset by payments for capital expenditures.

Financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2009 was $252,000, as a result of repurchase of $461,000 of the Company’s outstanding common stock under the stock repurchase program partially offset by proceeds of $209,000 from the issuance of common stock under the employee stock purchase plan.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2008 was $26,000 and was the result of repurchase of $297,000 of the Company’s outstanding common stock under the stock repurchase program largely offset by proceeds of $271,000 from the issuance of common stock under the employee stock purchase plan.

Contractual Obligations and Cash Requirements

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2009 (fiscal years ended March 31, in thousands):

	Payments due by period
	Remainder of		Fiscal		Fiscal		Beyond
	Fiscal 2010		2011		2012		2012		Total
Operating lease obligations	$	151	$	266	$	25	$	-	$	442
Purchase obligations		656		-		-		-		656
	$	807	$	266	$	25	$	-	$	1,098

As of September 30, 2009, the liability for uncertain tax positions was $257,000 in addition to the interest and tax penalties of $67,000, of which none is expected to be paid within one year. We are unable to estimate when cash settlement with a taxing authority may occur.

We expect to fund all of these obligations with cash on hand or cash provided from operations.

We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents of $44.3 million as of September 30, 2009 will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for the next twelve months. Should we desire to expand our level of operations more quickly, either through increased internal development or through the acquisition of product lines from other entities, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. The funds may not be available to us, or if available, we may not be able to obtain them on terms favorable to us.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 3 in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for a discussion of the expected impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have off balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect upon our financial condition, revenue, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our investors, other than contractual obligations shown above.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We have evaluated the estimated fair value of our financial instruments. The amounts reported as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short term maturities.

We have little exposure to foreign currency risk as all our sales are denominated in US dollars as is most of our spending.

We are exposed to financial market risks primarily due to the impact of changes in interest rates on our cash and cash equivalents. We do not use derivatives to alter the interest characteristics of our investment securities.

ITEM 4 . Controls and Procedures

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

(i) Disclosure Controls and Procedures . We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit 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, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(ii) Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met, taking into account the totality of the circumstances. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet the reasonable assurance standards. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also 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.

(iii) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2009, and have determined that they were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described in Item 4(a)(iii) above that occurred during our second quarter of fiscal 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

A revised description of the risk factors associated with our business is set forth below. This description supersedes the description of the risk factors associated with our business previously disclosed in Part II, Item 1A of our Form 10-Q for fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009. Because of these risk factors, as well as other factors affecting the Company’s business and operating results and financial condition, including those set forth elsewhere in this report, our actual future results could differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report and our past financial performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, so that investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

Our operating results may fluctuate significantly because of a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control and are difficult to predict. These fluctuations may cause our stock price to decline.

Our operating results may fluctuate significantly for a variety of reasons, including some of those described in the risk factors below, many of which are difficult to control or predict. While we believe that quarter to quarter and year to year comparisons of our revenue and operating results are not necessarily meaningful or accurate indicators of future performance, our stock price historically has been susceptible to large swings in response to short term fluctuations in our operating results. Should our future operating results fall below our guidance or the expectations of securities analysts or investors, the likelihood of which is increased by the fluctuations in our operating results, the market price of our common stock may decline.

We had losses in the last six fiscal quarters and in eight out of the last twelve most recent fiscal quarters. We may not be able to attain or sustain profitability in the future.

There are many factors that affect our ability to sustain profitability including the health of the mobile handset, HBLED, digital consumer electronics and personal computer markets on which we focus, continued demand for our products from our key customers, availability of capacity from our manufacturing subcontractors, ability to reduce manufacturing costs faster than price decreases thereby attaining a healthy gross margin, continued product innovation and design wins, competition, interest rates and our continued ability to manage our operating expenses. In order to obtain and sustain profitability in the long term, we will need to continue to grow our business in our target markets and to reduce our product costs rapidly enough to maintain our gross margin. The semiconductor industry has historically been cyclical, and we may be subject to such cyclicality, which could lead to our incurring losses again.

We currently are concentrated in terms of product types (protection devices), markets (mobile handsets), and customers (certain top tier OEMs). Our revenue could suffer materially if the demand or price for protection devices decreases, if the market for mobile handsets stops growing, or if our key customers lose market share.

Our revenues in recent periods have been derived primarily from sales of circuit protection devices. For example, during second quarter of fiscal 2010, 87% of our revenue was derived from such sales and we expect this percentage to increase as we exit the display controller market. Should the need for circuit protection devices decline, for example because of changes in input and output circuitry, or integration of circuit protection functionality into other circuit elements, our revenues could decline.

- 27 of 46 -

Table Of Content

During second quarter of fiscal 2010, 57% of our revenue was from sales to the mobile handset market, with the balance coming from digital consumer electronics and personal computers and peripherals and HBLED markets. In order for us to be successful, we must continue to penetrate these markets, both by obtaining more business from our current customers and by obtaining new customers. Due to our relatively narrow market focus, we are susceptible to materially lower revenues due to material adverse changes to one of these markets, particularly the mobile handset market. We expect much of our future revenue growth to be in the mobile handset market where more complex mobile handsets have meant increased adoption of and demand for protection devices. Should the rate of adoption of protection devices decelerate in the mobile handset market, our planned rate of increase in penetration of that market would also decrease, thereby reducing our future growth in that market. In addition, a reduction in our market share of protection devices sold into that market would also decrease our future growth and could even lead to declining revenue from that market.

Our sales strategy has been to focus on customers with large market share in their respective markets. As a result, we have several large customers. During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, one customer represented 16% of our net sales and in the future we expect to continue to increase net sales to a top five OEM mobile handset customer we began selling to during the second half of fiscal 2008. There can be no assurance that these customers will purchase our products in the future in the quantities we have forecasted, or at all.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, one distributor represented 13% of our net sales. If we were to lose the distributor, we might not be able to obtain other distributors to represent us or the new distributors might not have sufficiently strong relationships with the current end customers to maintain our current level of net sales. Additionally, the time and resources involved with the changeover and training could have an adverse impact on our business in the short term.

The markets in which we participate are intensely competitive and our products are not sold pursuant to long term contracts, enabling our customers to replace us with our competitors if they choose. In addition, our competitors have in the past and may in the future reverse engineer our most successful products and become second sources for our customers, which could decrease our revenues and gross margins.

Our target markets are intensely competitive. Our ability to compete successfully in our target markets depends upon our being able to offer attractive, high quality products to our customers that are properly priced and dependably supplied. Our customer relationships do not generally involve long term binding commitments making it easier for customers to change suppliers and making us more vulnerable to competitors. Our customer relationships instead depend upon our past performance for the customer, their perception of our ability to meet their future need, including price and delivery and the timely development of new devices, the lead time to qualify a new supplier for a particular product, and interpersonal relationships and trust. Furthermore, many of our customers are striving to limit the number of vendors they do business with and because of our small size and limited product portfolio they could decide to stop doing business with us.

Our most successful products are not covered by patents and have in the past and may in the future be reverse engineered. Thus, our competitors can become second sources of these products for our customers or our customers’ competitors, which could decrease our unit sales or our ability to increase unit sales and also could lead to price competition. This price competition could result in lower prices for our products, which would also result in lower revenues and gross margins. Certain of our competitors have announced products that are pin compatible with some of our most successful products, especially in the mobile handset market, where many of our largest revenue generating products have been second sourced. To the extent that the revenue secured by these competitors exceeds the expansion in market size resulting from the availability of second sources, this decreases the revenue potential for our products. Furthermore, should a second source vendor attempt to increase its market share by dramatic or predatory price cuts for large revenue products, our revenues and margins could decline materially.

Table Of Content

Because we operate in different semiconductor product markets, we generally encounter different competitors in our various market areas. With respect to the protection devices for the mobile handset, digital consumer electronics and personal computer markets as well as HBLED market, we compete primarily with NXP, ON Semiconductor Corporation, Semtech Corporation, STMicroelectronics, N.V. and Texas Instruments as well as other smaller companies. For EMI filter devices used in mobile handsets, we also compete with ceramic devices based on high volume Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC) technology from companies such as Amotek Company, Ltd., AVX Corporation, Innochip Technology, Inc., Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and TDK Corp. MLCC devices are generally low cost and our revenues would suffer if their features and performance meet the requirements of our customers and we are unable to reduce the cost of our protection products sufficiently to be competitive. We have seen ceramic filters obtain significant design wins for low end applications in the mobile handset market and we focused on high end applications as a result. However, we have also begun to see the use of higher performance ceramic filters and if we are not able to demonstrate superior performance at an acceptable price with our devices then our revenues would also suffer. Many of our competitors are larger than we are, have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution and other resources than we do and have their own facilities for the production of semiconductor components.

Adverse and uncertain global economic conditions make forecasting demand difficult and may harm our business

Unfavorable global economic conditions, including the recession and recent disruptions to the credit and financial markets, could cause consumer and capital spending to continue to slow down, which may decrease demand for our customers’ products and hence our products and our revenues would be adversely affected. In addition, during challenging economic times, our customers may face issues gaining timely access to sufficient credit, which may impair the ability of our customers to pay for products they have purchased which could cause us to increase our allowance for doubtful accounts and write-offs of accounts receivable. Furthermore, the uncertainty in when the global economy will recover means uncertain demand for our products which makes it more difficult to manage inventories so that we can timely respond to our customers if and when their demand for our products increases and may lead to greater write-offs of inventory. In addition, such uncertainty in demand makes planning more difficult and subject to error which could impact our decision-making and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Our revenues are subject to macroeconomic cycles and therefore are more likely to decline if the current economy worsens or if there is another economic downturn.

As our mobile handset protection devices penetration have increased, our revenues have become increasingly susceptible to macroeconomic cycles because our revenue growth has become more dependent on growth in the overall market as well as on increased penetration.

Our reliance on foreign customers could cause fluctuations in our operating results.

During second quarter of fiscal 2010, international sales accounted for 89% of our net sales. International sales include sales to U.S. based customers if the product was delivered outside the United States.

International sales subject us to the following risks:

•

changes in regulatory requirements;

•

tariffs and other barriers;

•

timing and availability of export licenses;

limited intellectual property protection;

•

foreign currency exchange fluctuations;

•

the burden of complying with and the risk of violating a wide variety of complex foreign laws and treaties; and

•

potentially adverse tax consequences.

Because sales of our products have been denominated in United States dollars, increases in the value of the U.S. dollar could increase the relative price of our products so that they become more expensive to customers in the local currency of a particular country. Furthermore, because some of our customer purchase orders and agreements are influenced, if not governed, by foreign laws, we may be limited in our ability to enforce our rights under these agreements and to collect damages, if awarded.

Due to the volatility of demand for our products, our inventory may from time to time be in excess of our needs, which could cause write downs of our inventory or of inventory held by our distributors.

Generally our products are sold pursuant to short-term releases of customer purchase orders and some orders must be filled on an expedited basis. Our backlog is subject to revisions and cancellations and anticipated demand is constantly changing. Because of the short life cycles involved with our customers’ products, the order pattern from individual customers can be erratic, with inventory accumulation and liquidation during phases of the life cycle for our customers’ products. We face the risk of inventory write-offs if we manufacture products in advance of orders. However, if we do not make products in advance of orders, we may be unable to fulfill some or all of the demand to the detriment of our customer relationships because we have insufficient inventory on hand and at our distributors to fill unexpected orders and because the time required to make the product may be longer than the time that certain customers will wait for the product.

We typically plan our production and our inventory levels, and the inventory levels of our distributors, based on internal forecasts of customer demand, which are highly unpredictable and can fluctuate substantially. Therefore, we often order materials and at least partially fabricate product in anticipation of customer requirements. Furthermore, due to long manufacturing lead times, in order to respond in a timely manner to customer demand, we may also make products or have products made in advance of orders to keep in our inventory, and we may encourage our distributors to order and stock products in advance of orders that are subject to their right to return them to us.

In the last few years, there has been a trend toward vendor managed inventory among some large customers. In such situations, we do not recognize revenue until the customer withdraws inventory from stock or otherwise becomes obligated to retain our product. This imposes the burden upon us of carrying additional inventory that is stored on or near our customers’ premises and is subject in many instances to return to our premises if not used by the customer.

Table Of Content

We value our inventories on a part by part basis to appropriately consider excess inventory levels and obsolete inventory primarily based on backlog and forecasted customer demand, and to consider reductions in sales price. For the reasons described above, we may end up carrying more inventory than we need in order to meet our customers’ orders, in which case we may incur charges when we write down the excess inventory to its net realizable value, if any, should our customers for whatever reason not order the product in our inventory.

We have outsourced our wafer fabrication, and assembly and test operations. Due to our size, we depend on a limited number of foundry partners and assembly and test subcontractors and there is limited available capacity for plastic package assembly and test contractors which limits our choices. As a result, we are exposed to a risk of manufacturing disruption or uncontrolled price changes and we may encounter difficulties in expanding our capacity.

We have adopted a fabless manufacturing model that involves the use of foundry partners and assembly and test subcontractors to provide our production capacity. We chose this model in order to reduce our overall manufacturing costs and thereby increase our gross margin, reduce the impact of fixed costs when volume is low, provide us with upside capacity in case of short-term demand increases and provide us with access to newer process technology, production facilities and equipment. During the past four years we have outsourced our wafer manufacturing and assembly and test operations overseas in Asia and we continue to seek additional foundry and assembly and test capacity to provide for growth and lower cost. If we experience delays in securing additional or replacement capacity at the time we need it, we may not have sufficient product to fully meet the demand of our customers.

Given the current size of our business, we believe it is impractical for us to use more than a limited number of foundry partners and assembly and test subcontractors as it would lead to significant increases in our costs. Currently, we have five foundry partners and rely on limited number of subcontractors. Some of our products are sole sourced at one of our foundry partners in China, Japan or Taiwan. There is also a limited cost effective capacity of plastic assembly and test contractors, especially for Thin Dual Flat No-Lead Plastic Package (TDFN) and Ultra-Thin Dual Flat No-Lead Plastic Package (UDFN), for which customer demand is increasing. Our ability to secure sufficient plastic assembly and test capacity, especially the fast ramping TDFN and UDFN offerings, may limit our ability to satisfy our customers’ demand. If the operations of one or more of our partners or subcontractors should be disrupted, or if they should choose not to devote capacity to our products in a timely manner, our business could be adversely impacted as we might be unable to manufacture some of our products on a timely basis. In addition, the cyclicality of the semiconductor industry has periodically resulted in shortages of wafer fabrication, assembly and test capacity and other disruption of supply. We may not be able to find sufficient capacity at a reasonable price or at all if such disruptions occur. As a result, we face significant risks, including:

•

reduced control over delivery schedules and quality;

•

longer lead times;

•

the impact of regional and global illnesses such as SARS or Avian flu pandemic;

•

the potential lack of adequate capacity during periods when industry demand exceeds available capacity;

•

difficulties finding and integrating new subcontractors;

•

limited warranties on products supplied to us;

•

potential increases in prices due to capacity shortages, currency exchange fluctuations and other factors; and

•

potential misappropriation of our intellectual property.

We rely upon foreign suppliers and have consigned substantial equipment at our foreign subcontractors in order to obtain price concessions. This exposes us to risks associated with international operations, including the risk of losing this equipment should the foreign subcontractor go out of business.

We use foundry partners and assembly and test subcontractors in Asia, primarily in China, India, Japan, Korea, Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand for our products. Our dependence on these foundries and subcontractors involves the following substantial risks:

•

political and economic instability;

•

changes in our cost structure due to changes in local currency values relative to the U.S. dollar;

•

potential difficulty in enforcing agreements and recovering damages for their breach;

•

inability to obtain and retain manufacturing capacity and priority for our business, especially during industry-wide times of capacity shortages;

•

exposure to greater risk of misappropriation of intellectual property;

•

disruption to air transportation from Asia; and

•

changes in tax laws, tariffs and freight rates.

These risks may lead to delayed product delivery or increased costs, which would harm our profitability, financial results and customer relationships. In addition, we maintain significant inventory at our foreign subcontractors that could be at risk.

We also drop ship product from some of these foreign subcontractors directly to customers. This increases our exposure to disruptions in operations that are not under our direct control and may require us to continue to enhance our computer and information systems to coordinate this remote activity.

In order to obtain price concessions, we have consigned substantial equipment at our foreign contractors. For example, we have $0.8 million, $0.4 million and $0.2 million of test or packaging equipment on consignment in India, Thailand and China, respectively as of September 30, 2009. Should our business relationship with these partners cease, whether due to our switching to alternate lower cost suppliers, quality or capacity issues with our current partners, or if they experience a natural disaster or financial difficulty, we may have trouble repossessing this equipment. Even if we are able to repossess this equipment, it may not be in good condition and we may not be able to realize the dollar value of this equipment then recorded on our books. Any such inability to repossess consigned equipment or to realize its recorded value on our books would reduce our assets.

Our markets are subject to rapid technological change. Therefore, our success depends on our ability to develop and introduce new products. It is possible that a significant portion our research and development expenditures will not yield products with meaningful future revenue.

The markets for our products are characterized by:

•

rapidly changing technologies;

•

changing customer needs;

- 32 of 46 -

Table Of Content

•

evolving industry standards;

•

frequent new product introductions and enhancements;

•

increased integration with other functions; and

•

rapid product obsolescence.

Our competitors or customers may offer new products based on new technologies, industry standards or end user or customer requirements, including products that have the potential to replace or provide lower cost or higher performance alternatives to our products. The introduction of new products by our competitors or customers could render our existing and future products obsolete or unmarketable. In addition, our competitors and customers may introduce products that eliminate the need for our products. Our customers are constantly developing new products that are more complex and miniature, increasing the pressure on us to develop products to address the increasingly complex requirements of our customers’ products in environments in which power usage, lack of interference with neighboring devices and miniaturization are increasingly important.

To develop new products for our target markets, we must develop, gain access to, and use new technologies in a cost effective and timely manner, and continue to expand our technical and design expertise. In addition, we must have our products designed into our customers’ future products and maintain close working relationships with key customers in order to develop new products that meet their changing needs.

We may not be able to identify new product opportunities, to develop or use new technologies successfully, to develop and bring to market new products, or to respond effectively to new technological changes or product announcements by our competitors. There can be no assurance even if we are able to do so that our customers will design our products into their products or that our customers’ products will achieve market acceptance. Our pursuit of necessary technological advances may require substantial time and expense and involve engineering risk. Failure in any of these areas could harm our operating results.

We may be unable to reduce the costs associated with our products quickly enough for us to meet our margin targets or to retain market share.

In the mobile handset market our competitors have been second sourcing many of our products and as a result this market has become more price competitive. We are seeing the same trend develop in our low capacitance ESD devices for digital consumer electronics, personal computers and peripherals as well as application specific protection devices in the HBLED market. We need to be able to reduce the costs associated with our products in order to achieve our target gross margins. We have in the past achieved and may attempt in the future to achieve cost reductions by obtaining reduced prices from our manufacturing subcontractors, using larger sized wafers, adopting simplified processes, and redesigning parts to require fewer pins or to make them smaller. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in achieving cost reductions through any of these methods, in which case we will experience lower margins and/or we will experience lower sales as our customers switch to our competitors.

The majority of our operating expenses with respect to a given product line or market cannot be reduced quickly in response to revenue shortfalls without impairing our ability to effectively conduct business in that product line or market.

- 33 of 46 -

Table Of Content

The majority of our operating expenses with respect to a given product line or market are labor related and therefore cannot be reduced quickly without impairing our ability to effectively conduct business in that product line or market. Much of the remainder of our operating costs such as rent is relatively fixed. Therefore, we have limited ability to reduce expenses quickly in response to any revenue shortfalls. Consequently, our operating results will be harmed if our revenues do not meet our projections. We may experience revenue shortfalls for the following and other reasons:

•

significant pricing pressures that occur because of competition or customer demands;

•

sudden shortages of raw materials or fabrication, test or assembly capacity constraints that lead our suppliers to allocate available supplies or capacity to other customers and, in turn, harm our ability to meet our sales obligations; and

•

rescheduling or cancellation of customer orders due to a softening of the demand for our customers’ products, replacement of our parts by our competitors or other reasons.

If our distributors experience financial difficulty and become unable to pay us or choose not to promote our products, our business could be harmed.

During second quarter of fiscal 2010, 55% of our sales were through distributors, primarily in Asia. Our distributors could reduce or discontinue sales of our products or sell our competitors’ products. They may not devote the resources necessary to sell our products in the volumes and within the time frames that we expect. In addition, we are dependent on their continued financial viability, and some of them are small companies with limited working capital. If our distributors experience financial difficulties and become unable to pay our invoices, or otherwise become unable or unwilling to promote and sell our products, our business could be harmed.

Our future success depends in part on the continued service of our key engineering and management personnel and our ability to identify, hire and retain additional personnel.

There is intense competition for qualified personnel in the semiconductor industry, in particular for the highly skilled design, applications and test engineers involved in the development of new analog integrated circuits. Competition is especially intense in the San Francisco Bay area, where our corporate headquarters and a portion of our engineering group is located. For that reason, in part, we have opened a design center in Phoenix focused on protection devices. We may not be able to continue to attract and retain engineers or other qualified personnel necessary for the development of our business or to replace engineers or other qualified personnel who may leave our employment, or the employment of our India design center in the future. This is especially true for analog chip designers since competition is fierce for experienced engineers in this discipline. Growth is expected to place increased demands on our resources and will likely require the addition of management and engineering personnel, and the development of additional expertise by existing management personnel. The loss of services and/or changes in our management team, in particular our CEO, or our key engineers, or the failure to recruit or retain other key technical and management personnel, could cause additional expense, potentially reduce the efficiency of our operations and could harm our business.

Our design wins may not result in customer products utilizing our devices and our backlog may not result in future shipments of our devices. During a typical quarter, a substantial portion of our shipments are not in our backlog at the start of the quarter, which limits our ability to forecast in the near term.

Not all of our design wins will result in revenue as a customer may cancel an end product for a variety of reasons or subsequently decide not to use our part in it. Even if the customer’s end product does go into production with our part, it may not result in material annual product sales by us and the customer’s product may have a shorter life than expected. In addition, the length of time from design win to production will vary based on the customer’s development schedule. Finally, the revenue from design wins varies significantly.

- 34 of 46 -

Table Of Content

Due to possible customer changes in delivery schedules and cancellations of orders, our backlog at any particular point in time is not necessarily indicative of actual sales for any succeeding period. A reduction of backlog during any particular period, or the failure of our backlog to result in future shipments, could harm our business. Much of our revenue is based upon orders placed with us that have short lead time until delivery or sales by our distributors to their customers (in most cases, we do not recognize revenue on sales to our distributors until the distributor sells the product to its customers). As a result, our ability to forecast our future shipments and our ability to increase manufacturing capacity quickly may limit our ability to fulfill customer orders with short lead times.

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights adequately and we may be harmed by litigation involving our intellectual property rights.

Our ability to compete is affected by our ability to protect our intellectual property rights. We rely on a combination of patents, trademarks, copyrights, mask work registrations, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and nondisclosure and licensing arrangements to protect our intellectual property rights. Despite these efforts, the steps we take to protect our proprietary information may not be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology, and our competitors may independently develop technology that is substantially similar or superior to our technology.

To the limited extent that we are able to seek patent protection for our products or processes, our pending patent applications or any future applications may not be approved. Any issued patents may not provide us with competitive advantages and may be challenged by third parties. If challenged, our patents may be found to be invalid or unenforceable, and the patents of others may have an adverse effect on our ability to do business. Furthermore, others may independently develop similar products or processes, duplicate our products or processes, or design around any patents that may be issued to us.

As a general matter, the semiconductor and related industries are characterized by substantial litigation regarding intellectual property rights, and in particular patents. We may be accused of infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. Furthermore, we may have certain indemnification obligations to customers with respect to the infringement of third party intellectual property rights by our products. Infringement claims by third parties or claims for indemnification by customers or end users of our products resulting from infringement claims may be asserted in the future and such assertions, if proven to be true, may harm our business.

Any litigation relating to the intellectual property rights of third parties, whether or not determined in our favor or settled by us, would at a minimum be costly and could divert the efforts and attention of our management and technical personnel. In the event of any adverse ruling in any such litigation, we could be required to pay substantial damages, cease the manufacturing, use and sale of infringing products, discontinue the use of certain processes or obtain a license under the intellectual property rights of the third party claiming infringement. A license might not be available on reasonable terms, or at all.

Our stock price may continue to be volatile, and our trading volume may continue to be relatively low and limit liquidity and market efficiency. Should significant stockholders desire to sell their shares within a short period of time, our stock price could decline.

The market price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly. In the future, the market price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations due to general market conditions and in response to quarter to quarter variations in:

•

our anticipated or actual operating results;

	•		announcements or introductions of new products by us or our competitors;

	•		decreased market share of our major customers;

- 35 of 46 -

Table Of Content

•

technological innovations or setbacks by us or our competitors;

•

conditions in the semiconductor and passive components markets;

•

the commencement of litigation;

•

changes in estimates of our performance by securities analysts;

•

announcements of merger or acquisition transactions; and

•

general economic and market conditions.

In addition, the stock market in recent years has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices of many high technology companies, particularly semiconductor companies, that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the companies. These fluctuations, as well as general economic and market conditions, may harm the market price of our common stock. Furthermore, our trading volume is often small, meaning that a few trades have disproportionate influence on our stock price. In addition, someone seeking to liquidate a sizable position in our stock may have difficulty doing so except over an extended period or privately at a discount. Thus, if a stockholder were to sell or attempt to sell a large number of its shares within a short period of time, this sale or attempt could cause our stock price to decline. Our stock is followed by a relatively small number of analysts and any changes in their rating of our stock could cause significant swings in its market price.

We have four relatively new directors on our seven-person board, including three nominees of one of our larger stockholders who were recently elected after a proxy contest.

Three nominees of one of our larger stockholders were recently elected to our seven-member board after a proxy contest. The board also added another new director recently, bringing the total number of new directors in this fiscal year to four. Therefore, the current seven member board consists of a majority of new directors who may need time to become thoroughly familiar with the Company's business and strategy and to develop effective working relationships as a board and with management. This could result in a board which moves more carefully and deliberately on some issues, which could be an impediment to quick action.

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation authorizing “blank check” preferred stock and in our bylaws requiring advance notice of stockholder proposals and nominations, may delay, defer or prevent a change of control.

Our board of directors has the authority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences and privileges and restrictions, including voting rights of those shares without any further vote or action by our stockholders. The rights of the holders of common stock will be subject to, and may be harmed by, the rights of the holders of any shares of preferred stock that may be issued in the future, including the preferred shares covered by the stockholder rights plan. The issuance of preferred stock may delay, defer or prevent a change in control. The terms of the preferred stock that might be issued could potentially make more difficult or expensive our consummation of any merger, reorganization, sale of substantially all of our assets, liquidation or other extraordinary corporate transaction. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could have a dilutive effect on our stockholders.

Further, our stockholders must give written notice delivered to our executive offices no less than 120 days before the one year anniversary of the date our proxy statement was released to stockholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting to nominate a candidate for director or present a proposal to our stockholders at a meeting. These notice requirements could inhibit a takeover by delaying stockholder action.

Table Of Content

A decline in our stock price could result in securities class action litigation against us which could divert management attention and harm our business.

In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against public companies after periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. Due in part to our historical stock price volatility, we could in the future be a target of such litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources, which could harm our ability to execute our business plan.

If our products contain defects, fail to achieve industry reliability standards, or infringe third party intellectual rights or if there are delays in delivery or other unforeseen events which lead to our customers incurring damages, then our reputation may be harmed, and we may incur significant unexpected expenses and lose sales .

We face an inherent business risk of exposure to claims in the event that our products fail to perform as warranted or expected or if we are late in delivering them. Our customers might seek to recover from us any perceived losses, both direct and indirect, which could include their lost sales or profit, a recall of their products, or defending them against third party intellectual property claims. Such claims might be for dollar amounts significantly higher than the revenues and profits we receive from the sale of our products involved as we are usually a component supplier with limited value content relative to the value of the ultimate end-product.

We attempt to protect ourselves through a combination of quality controls, contractual provisions, business insurance, and self insurance. We are sometimes not able to limit our liability contractually as much as we desire and believe is reasonable and there can be no assurances that any such limits that we negotiate will be enforceable. There can be no assurance that we will obtain the insurance coverage we seek, both in terms of dollar amount insured or scope of exclusions to the coverage, or that our insurers will handle any claims on the basis we desire, or that the self insured claims will not be larger than we expect. A successful claim against us could have material adverse effects on our results of operations and financial condition. Beyond the potential direct cost, loss of confidence by major customers could cause sales of our other products to drop significantly and harm our business.

Earthquakes, other natural disasters and shortages, or man-caused disasters such as future terrorist activity, may damage our business.

Our California facilities and some of our suppliers are located near major earthquake faults that have experienced earthquakes in the past. In the event of a major earthquake or other natural disaster near our headquarters, our operations could be harmed. Similarly, a major earthquake or other natural disaster near one or more of our major suppliers, like the ones that occurred in Taiwan in September 1999 and in Japan in October 2004, could disrupt the operations of those suppliers, limit the supply of our products and harm our business. The October 2004 earthquake in Japan temporarily shut down operations at one of the wafer fabrication facilities at which our products were being produced. We have since transferred that capacity to other fabs. Power shortages have occurred in California in the past and a wafer fabrication contractor of ours in China experienced a power outrage during 2007. We cannot assure that if power interruptions or shortages occur in the future, they will not adversely affect our business. The September 11, 2001 attack may have adversely affected the demand for our customers’ products, which in turn reduced their demand for our products. In addition, terrorist activity interfered with communications and transportation networks, which adversely affected us. Future terrorist activity or war could similarly adversely impact our business.

In the future we may make strategic acquisitions of technology, product lines, or companies and any future acquisitions and strategic alliances may harm our operating results or cause us to incur debt or assume contingent liabilities.

- 37 of 46 -

Table Of Content

We may in the future acquire, or form strategic alliances relating to, other businesses, product lines or technologies. Successful acquisitions and alliances in the semiconductor industry are difficult to accomplish because they require, among other things, efficient integration and alignment of product offerings and manufacturing operations and coordination of sales and marketing and research and development efforts. We have no recent successful experience in making such acquisitions or alliances. The difficulties of integration and alignment may be increased by the necessity of coordinating geographically separated organizations, the complexity of the technologies being integrated and aligned and the necessity of integrating personnel with disparate business backgrounds and combining different corporate cultures. The integration and alignment of operations following an acquisition or alliance requires the dedication of management resources that may distract attention from the day to day business, and may disrupt key research and development, marketing or sales efforts. In connection with future acquisitions and alliances, we may not only acquire assets which need to be expensed or amortized, but we may also incur debt or assume contingent liabilities which could harm our operating results. Without strategic acquisitions and alliances we may have difficulty meeting future customer product and service requirements.

By supplying parts in the past which were used in medical devices that help sustain human life, we are vulnerable to product liability claims.

We have in the past supplied products predominantly to Guidant and to a much lesser extent to Medtronic for use in implantable defibrillators and pacemakers, which help sustain human life. While we have not sold products into the Medical market since fiscal year 2005, large numbers of our products are or will be used in implanted medical devices, which could fail and expose us to claims. Should our products cause failure in the implanted devices, we may be sued and ultimately have liability, although under federal law Guidant and Medtronic would be required to defend and take responsibility in such instances until their liability was established, in which case we could be liable for that part of those damages caused by our willful misconduct or, in the case of Medtronic only, our negligence.

Our failure to comply with environmental regulations or the discovery of contaminants at our prior manufacturing sites could result in substantial liability to us.

We are subject to a variety of federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations relating to the protection of health and the environment. These include laws, rules and regulations governing the use, storage, discharge, release, treatment and disposal of hazardous chemicals during and after manufacturing, research and development and sales demonstrations, as well as the maintenance of healthy and environmentally sound conditions within our facilities. If we fail to comply with applicable requirements, we could be subject to substantial liability for cleanup efforts, property damage, personal injury and fines or suspension or cessation of our operations. Should contaminants be found at either of our prior manufacturing sites at a future date, a government agency or future owner could attempt to hold us responsible, which could result in material expenses.

Implementation of the new FASB rules and the issuance of new laws or other accounting regulations, or reinterpretation of existing laws or regulations, could materially impact our stated results.

From time to time, the government, courts and financial accounting boards issue new laws or accounting regulations, or modify or reinterpret existing ones. For example, starting with the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we implemented Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 718 “ Compensation – Stock Compensation ” (ASC 718) for the accounting for share based payments which caused us to recognize an expense associated with our employee equity awards that decreased our earnings. There may be other future changes in FASB rules or in laws, interpretations or regulations that would affect our financial results or the way in which we present them. Additionally, changes in the laws or regulations could have adverse effects on our business that would affect our ability to compete, both nationally and internationally.

Deficiencies in our internal controls could cause us to have material errors in our financial statements, which could require us to restate them. Such restatement could have adverse consequences on our stock price, potentially limiting our access to financial markets.

- 38 of 46 -

Table Of Content

Management assessed and determined, and the auditors attested, that there was no material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007. However, should we or our auditors discover that we have a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting at another time in the future, investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on our stock price.

We believe that we will not have a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which would lead to material errors in our financial statements. Nonetheless, there can be no assurance that we will not have errors in our financial statements. Such errors, if material, could require us to restate our financial statements, having adverse effects on our stock price, potentially causing additional expense, and could limit our access to financial markets.

We may incur increased costs as a result of future changes in laws and regulations relating to corporate governance matters and public disclosure.

There have been and continue to be changes in the laws and regulations affecting public companies, including the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, rules adopted or proposed by the SEC and by the NASDAQ National Market and new accounting pronouncements. These often have in the past and may in the future result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from strategic revenue generating and cost management activities. In addition, these new laws and regulations could make it more difficult or more costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance and to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers.
