ZORAN CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Zoran Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Zoran” or the “Company”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all necessary adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or in any future period. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008, included in the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification^™ (the “Codification”) and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 168”). SFAS No. 168 confirmed that the Codification will become the single official source of authoritative U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), (other than guidance issued by the SEC), superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”), and related literature. After that date, only one level of authoritative U.S. GAAP will exist. All other literature will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification does not change U.S. GAAP; instead, it introduces a new structure that is organized in an easily accessible, user-friendly online research system. The Codification, which changes the referencing of financial standards, becomes effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after September 15, 2009. The Company will apply the Codification beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 168 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS No.165”), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This statement sets forth the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements. SFAS No. 165 also requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date—that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. This statement is effective for interim or annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 165. The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date and time the financial statements were issued on August 5, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In April 2009, the FASB issued three related FASB Staff Positions (“FSP”): (i) FSP No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP No. 157-4”), (ii) SFAS No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“FSP No. 115-2” and “FSP No. 124-2” respectively), and (iii) SFAS No. 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) No. 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, (“FSP No. 107” and “APB No. 28-1” respectively), which are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. FSP No. 157-4 provides guidance on how to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities under SFAS No. 157 in the current economic environment and reemphasizes that the objective of a fair value measurement remains an exit price. FSP No. 115-2 and FSP No. 124-2 modify the requirements for recognizing other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities and revise the existing impairment model for such securities, by modifying the current intent and ability indicator in determining whether a debt security is other-than-temporarily impaired. FSP No. 115-2 also enhances the disclosure requirements for both debt and equity securities. FSP No. 107 and APB No. 28-1 enhance the disclosure of instruments under the scope of SFAS No. 157 for both interim and annual periods. The adoption of these FASB Staff Positions in the quarter ended June 30, 2009 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

6

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted, FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP No. 142-3”) that amends the factors considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142. FSP No. 142-3 requires a consistent approach between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of an asset under SFAS No. 141(R). The FSP also requires enhanced disclosures when an intangible asset’s expected future cash flows are affected by an entity’s intent and/or ability to renew or extend the arrangement. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB Staff Position No. 157-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13” (“FSP No. 157-1”) and FSP No.157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP No. 157-2”). FSP No. 157-1 amends SFAS No. 157 to remove certain leasing transactions from its scope, and was effective upon initial adoption of SFAS No. 157. FSP No. 157-2 was effective from the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, (“SFAS No. 141R”) and SFAS No.160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No.51” (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non controlling interest in the acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statement to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, reporting them as equity separate from the parent entity’s equity, as well as requiring expanded disclosures. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the current period but the nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend upon the nature, terms and size of acquisitions the Company consummates after the effective date.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 141R-1 “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies,” (“FSP No. 141R-1”). FSP No. 141R-1 amends the provisions in SFAS No. 141R for the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosures for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations. The FSP eliminates the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies, including the initial recognition and measurement criteria in SFAS No. 141R, and instead carries forward most of the provisions in SFAS No. 141 for acquired contingencies. FSP No. 141R-1 is effective for contingent assets and contingent liabilities acquired in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend upon the nature, term and size of the acquired contingencies after the effective date.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”), which requires additional disclosures about the objectives of using derivative instruments; the method by which the derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No.133 and its related interpretations; and the effect of derivative instruments and related hedged items on financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 also requires disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

2. Stock-based compensation

Stock Option Plans

As of June 30, 2009, the Company had outstanding options for the purchase of 9,312,792 shares of common stock held by employees and directors under the Company’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”), 2005 Outside Directors Equity Plan, 2000 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan, 1995 Outside Directors Stock Option Plan, 1993 Stock Option Plan and various other plans the Company assumed as a result of acquisitions. At its annual stockholders meeting held on June 26, 2009, the maximum number of shares available for award grant purposes that may be issued under the Company’s 2005 Outside Directors Equity Plan was increased by 600,000 shares. As of June 30, 2009, 2,865,246 shares remained available for future grants and awards under the 2005 Plan and the 2005 Outside Directors Equity Plan. Options and stock appreciation rights granted under the 2005 Plan must have exercise prices per share not less than the fair market value of Company common stock on the date of grant and may not be repriced without stockholder approval. Such awards will vest and become exercisable upon conditions established by the Compensation Committee and may not have a term exceeding 10 years.

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options, employee stock purchases and restricted stock unit grants for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 as recorded in accordance with SFAS 123(R) (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123(R)”) (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2009		2008		2009		2008
Cost of hardware product revenues	$	95	$	105	$	206	$	200

Total costs and expenses	$	3,110	$	3,641	$	6,032	$	6,584

The income tax benefit for share-based compensation expense was $372,000 and $666,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009. The income tax benefit for share-based compensation expense was $378,000 and $829,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008.

Valuation Assumptions

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

	Stock Option Plans
	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2009		2008		2009		2008
Average expected term (years)	5.7		5.5		5.6		5.4
Expected volatility	55	%	54	%	55	%	54	%
Risk-free interest rate	2.2	%	3.2	%	2.0	%	3.0	%
Dividend yield	0	%	0	%	0	%	0	%
	Employee Stock Purchase Plans
	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2009		2008		2009		2008
Average expected term (years)	1.25		1.25		1.25		1.36
Expected volatility	56	%	53	%	55	%	53	%
Risk-free interest rate	1.4	%	1.8	%	1.4	%	3.3	%
Dividend yield	0	%	0	%	0	%	0	%

Expected Term: The expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and was determined based on the Company’s historical experience with similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards and vesting schedules.

Expected Volatility: The Company uses historical volatility in deriving its volatility assumption. Management believes that historical volatility appropriately reflects the market’s expectations of future volatility.

Risk-Free Interest Rate: Management bases its assumptions regarding the risk-free interest rate on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term.

Expected Dividend:The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the near future.

$26.00 to $46.53	244,151	1.15	$	29.30		—	243,220	1.13	$	29.31		—
Total	9,312,792	6.06	$	15.98	$	4,064	6,574,188	4.82	$	17.21	$	1,432

Of the 9,312,792 stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2009, the Company estimates that approximately 9,025,379 will fully vest over the remaining contractual term. As of June 30, 2009, these options had a weighted average remaining contractual life of 5.96 years, a weighted average exercise price of $16.13 and aggregate intrinsic value of $3,665,000.

The weighted average grant date fair value of options, as determined under SFAS No. 123(R), granted during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 was $4.70 and $4.55 per share, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of options, as determined under SFAS No. 123(R), granted during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 was $7.31 and $7.28 per share, respectively.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $10.90 as of June 30, 2009, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. The total number of shares of common stock underlying in-the-money options exercisable as of June 30, 2009 was 939,000. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 was $70,000 and $84,000 respectively. There was no excess tax benefit realized by the Company for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 for option exercises due to the availability of non-stock related net operating loss carry forwards which fully offset our taxable income.

As of June 30, 2009, the Company had $18,552,000 of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to stock options after estimated forfeitures, which are expected to be recognized over an estimated period of 2.86 years.

The Company settles employee stock option exercises with newly issued common shares.

Restricted Shares and Restricted Stock Units

Restricted shares and restricted stock units are granted under the 2005 Plan. As of June 30, 2009, there was $2,065,000 of total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to restricted shares and restricted stock units, which are expected to be recognized over the weighted average remaining term of 3.71 years.

The following is a summary of restricted shares and restricted stock units activities:

	Outstanding Restricted Shares and Stock Units		Weighted- Average Grant- Date Fair Value
Balances, January 1, 2009	35,400		$	11.40

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company’s 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors in October 1995 and approved by its stockholders in December 1995. The ESPP enables employees to purchase shares through payroll deductions at approximately 85% of the lesser of the fair value of common stock at the beginning of a 24-month offering period or the end of each six-month segment within such offering period. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. During the three month period ended June 30, 2009, 447,006 shares were purchased by employees under the terms of the plan at a weighted average price of $6.885 per share. At the Company’s annual stockholders meeting held on June 26, 2009, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Amended and Restated 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan was increased by 3,000,000 shares. As of June 30, 2009, 3,926,746 shares were reserved and available for issuance under this plan.

Stock Repurchase Program

In March 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $100.0 million of outstanding shares of Company common stock. The amount and timing of specific repurchases under this program are subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors, including management’s discretion. Repurchases may be in open-market transactions or through privately negotiated transactions, and the repurchase program may be modified, extended or terminated by the Board of Directors at any time. There is no guarantee of the exact number of shares that will be repurchased under the program.

As of June 30, 2009, the authorized amount that remains available under the Company’s stock repurchase program was $90.0 million. The Company retires all shares repurchased under the stock repurchase program. There were no repurchases in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009. The purchase price for the repurchased shares of the Company’s common stock is reflected as a reduction of common stock and additional paid-in capital.

* Comprised of auction rate securities (“ARS”), with UBS, which have reset dates of 90 days or less but final expiration dates over 5 years.

In October 2008, the Company accepted an offer (the “UBS Offer”) from UBS AG (“UBS”), one of its investment managers. Under the UBS Offer, UBS issued to the Company Series C-2 Auction Rate Securities Rights (“ARS Rights”) that entitle the Company to sell its eligible ARS to UBS affiliates during the period from June 30, 2010 to July 2, 2012 for a price equal to par value. In exchange for the issuance of the ARS Rights, the UBS affiliates have the discretionary right to sell the Company’s eligible ARS on the Company’s behalf, without prior notification, at any time during a two-year period beginning June 30, 2010.

In connection with its acceptance of the UBS Offer during the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company transferred its ARS from investments available-for-sale to trading securities in accordance with SFAS 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (“SFAS No. 115”). The transfer to trading securities reflects management’s intent to exercise its ARS Rights during the period June 30, 2010 to July 2, 2012. Prior to its agreement with UBS, the Company classified the related ARS as investments available-for-sale. The ARS with UBS are included in long-term investments as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 as the settlement is expected to occur after one year from the balance sheet date.

The ARS with Wachovia Securities of $20.4 million as of December 31, 2008, classified as available for sale, were fully settled in June 2009.

The Company adopted FSP No. 115-2 effective April 1, 2009, which requires the other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) for debt securities to be separated into (a) the amount representing the credit loss and (b) the amount related to all other factors. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in corporate notes and bonds is primarily limited to few securities in the financial sector caused by a major disruption in U.S. and foreign financial markets including a deterioration of confidence and a severe decline in the demand for such securities. The Company holds its marketable securities, other than the ARS held with UBS, as available-for-sale and marks them to market. The Company typically invests in highly-rated securities, and its policy generally limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. When evaluating the investments for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell, the investment before recovery of the investment’s amortized cost basis. Based on the above factors, the Company concluded that unrealized losses on all available-for-sale securities were not other-than-temporary and did not recognize any impairment charges on outstanding securities during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009.

5.Fair Value

SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

The Company values its investments based on three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable:

• Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 consists of publicly traded equity securities which are valued primarily using quoted market prices utilizing market observable inputs as they are traded in an active market with sufficient volume and frequency of transactions.

• Level 2 - includes fixed income securities of the Company (other than auction rate securities) for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, nonbinding market prices that are corroborated by observable market data, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets).

• Level 3 - The Company’s investments in auction rate securities are classified within Level 3 because there are no active markets for the auction rate securities and therefore the Company is unable to obtain independent valuations from market sources. The Company estimated the fair value of the ARS using the income approach based on the following: (i) the underlying structure and contractual provisions of each security; (ii) the present value of future principal and interest payments discounted at rates considered to reflect current market conditions; and (iii) consideration of the probabilities of default, auction failure, or repurchase at par for each period.

In accordance with SFAS No. 157, the following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets (investments) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2009 (in thousands):

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

Long-term investments		—		—		37,250		37,250
Total	$	979	$	250,698	$	37,250	$	288,927

At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company held ARS with a par value of $37.3 million and $57.8 million, respectively. The Company’s ARS are high grade long-term debt instruments backed by student loans which are guaranteed by the United States government. All of the Company’s ARS have credit ratings of AAA or AA, and none are mortgage-backed debt obligations. The Company also holds Series C-2 Auction Rate Securities Rights (“ARS Rights”) that entitle the Company to sell its eligible ARS to UBS affiliates during the period from June 30, 2010 to July 2, 2012 for a price equal to par value. In exchange for the issuance of the ARS Rights, the UBS affiliates have the discretionary right to sell the Company’s eligible ARS on the Company’s behalf, without prior notification, at any time during a two-year period beginning June 30, 2010. The total fair value of the ARS, combined with the fair value of the ARS Rights, approximates the par value of the ARS.

The enforceability of the ARS Rights results in a put option and should be recognized as a free standing asset separate from the related ARS. The Company measures the ARS Rights at fair value under SFAS 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”), which permits an entity to elect the fair value option for recognized financial assets, in order to match the changes in the fair value of the related ARS. As a result, unrealized gains and losses are included in earnings in future periods. The Company expects that future changes in the fair value of the ARS Rights will approximate fair value movements in the related ARS. The Company valued the ARS Rights using a discounted cash flow approach including estimates based on data available as of June 30, 2009, of interest rates, timing and amount of cash flow, adjusted for any bearer risk associated with the financial ability of UBS to repurchase the ARS beginning June 30, 2010. These assumptions are volatile and subject to change as the underlying sources of these assumptions and market conditions change. Due to the current economic environment in which there is a lack of market activity for ARS, the Company has been unable to obtain quoted prices or market prices for identical assets as of the measurement date resulting in significant unobservable inputs used in determining the fair value. The Company estimated the fair value of the ARS using the income approach based on the following: (i) the underlying structure and contractual provisions of each security; (ii) the present value of future principal and interest payments discounted at rates considered to reflect current market conditions; and (iii) consideration of the probabilities of default, auction failure, or repurchase at par for each period. These estimated fair values could change significantly based on future market conditions, which could result in recognizing an other-than-temporary impairment loss.

The Company continues to monitor the market for ARS and consider its impact (if any) on the fair market value of its investments. If the market conditions deteriorate further, the Company may be required to record additional unrealized losses in earnings, offset by corresponding increases in the value of the ARS Rights. The Company believes that, based on its current cash and cash equivalents balance, the current lack of liquidity in the credit and capital markets will not have a material impact on its liquidity, cash flows or ability to fund its operations.

7. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company monitors the recoverability of goodwill recorded in connection with acquisitions, by reporting unit, annually, or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company conducted its annual impairment test of goodwill as of September 30, 2008 in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Impairment is tested at the reporting unit level which is one level below the reportable segments. The Consumer segment has two reporting units – Home Entertainment and Mobile, and the Imaging segment has one reporting unit. As a result of this test, the Company determined that the carrying amounts for both of the Consumer segment reporting units exceeded their fair values and recorded a goodwill impairment charge and an impairment charge for acquired intangibles during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008. The impairment charge was associated with an extended decline in the market capitalization of the Company at September 30, 2008 combined with a decline in the Company’s forecasted business outlook due to the weakened macroeconomic environment at that time. That global economic downturn still exists today resulting in reduced consumer spending which continues to impact our revenues. This impact was reflected in the Company’s results of operations as noted by declines in its revenues and operating profit since the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to the prior year. The Company currently anticipates that the global economic downturn will continue to impact its revenues for the remainder of 2009. There have been no significant changes in the underlying assumptions used for the Imaging segment as of June 30, 2009.

8. Other Long-Term Liabilities

The following is a summary of other long term liabilities as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 (in thousands):

	June 30, 2009		December 31, 2008
Severance obligations (see note below)	$	14,725	$	14,762
Income tax liability		9,156		9,197
Deferred rent		1,633		1,475
Other long term payable		1,545		1,551
	$	27,059	$	26,985

Severance obligations represent a liability for the Company’s employees in certain foreign locations, primarily $14.0 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively for employees in Israel. Under Israeli law, the Company is required to make severance payments to its retired or dismissed Israeli employees and Israeli employees leaving its employment in certain other circumstances. The Company’s severance pay liability to its Israeli employees hired before January 1, 2007, is calculated based on the monthly salary of each employee multiplied by the years of such employee’s employment and is partially funded by the purchase of insurance policies in the name of the employees. For the employees hired after January 1, 2007, the liability is equal to the total funds accumulated in the insurance policies purchased in the name of the employee. The severance pay liability is reflected in other long-term liabilities on an accrual basis based on the amount the employee is entitled to if the employee separates immediately. The surrender value of the insurance policies of $13.2 million and $12.6 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, is recorded in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The unfunded portion, net of accrued severance pay was $0.8 million and $1.4 million, as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

9. Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequence of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.

The Company assesses, on a quarterly basis, the realizability of its deferred tax assets by evaluating all available evidence, both positive and negative, including: (1) the cumulative results of operations in recent years, (2) the source of recent losses, (3) estimates of future taxable income and (4) the length of operating loss carryforward periods. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company’s operating results in one material foreign jurisdiction changed from 3 year positive cumulative earnings to 3 year negative cumulative earnings. The cumulative three-year loss was considered significant negative evidence which was objective and verifiable and thus was heavily weighted. Additional negative evidence the Company considered at that time included projections of future losses, the historic volatility of the semiconductor industry and the highly competitive nature of the DTV, DVD and Mobile markets in which the Company operates. Positive evidence considered by the Company in its assessment at that time included lengthy operating loss carryforward periods, and a lack of unused expired operating loss carryforwards in Company’s history. After considering both the positive and negative evidence for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company determined that it was no longer more-likely-than-not that it would realize the full value of certain foreign jurisdiction deferred tax assets. As a result, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against those deferred tax assets to reduce them to their estimated net realizable value with a corresponding non-cash charge. It is possible that the Company will remove or record a valuation allowance on these or other jurisdictions in the near future dependent primarily on the actual and projected results in that jurisdiction. As of June 30, 2009 the evidence for that jurisdiction remains substantially the same.

17

The calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. The Company records liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on its estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes may be due. Actual tax liabilities may be different than the recorded estimates and could result in an additional charge or benefit to the tax provision in the period when the ultimate tax assessment is determined.

The Company’s effective tax rate is highly dependent upon the geographic distribution of its worldwide earnings or losses, the tax regulations and tax holiday benefits in certain jurisdictions, and the effectiveness of its tax planning strategies. The Company’s Israel based subsidiary is an “Approved Enterprise” under Israeli law, which provides a ten-year tax holiday for income attributable to a portion of the Company’s operations in Israel. The Company’s U.S. federal net operating losses expire at various times between 2009 and 2024, and the benefits from the Company’s subsidiary’s Approved Enterprise status expire at various times beginning in 2011.

The provision for income taxes for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 reflects the estimated annual tax rate applied to the year to date net earnings. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had $33.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits which have not materially changed during the current period and all of which would benefit the Company’s tax expense if realized in the future.

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, three customers accounted for 22%, 11% and 10% of total revenues, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, three customers accounted for 19%, 11% and 11% of total revenues, respectively. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, three customers accounted for 11%, 11% and 10% of total revenues, respectively.

As of June 30, 2009, three customers accounted for approximately 29%, 13% and 12% of net accounts receivable, respectively, and as of December 31, 2008 four customers accounted for approximately 21%, 18%, 15% and 12% of the net accounts receivable, respectively.

11. Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential shares of common stock had been issued.

19

The following table provides a reconciliation of the components of the basic and diluted net loss per share computations (in thousands, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2009			2008			2009			2008
Net loss	$	(13,844	)	$	(36,620	)	$	(34,911	)	$	(41,298	)
Basic and dilutive weighted average shares outstanding		51,494			51,707			51,333			51,576
Net loss per share:
Basic and Diluted	$	(0.27	)	$	(0.71	)	$	(0.68	)	$	(0.80	)

For the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, outstanding options and restricted stock units totaling 8.6 million and 6.9 million shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the inclusion of such shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect.

For the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, outstanding options and restricted stock units totaling 8.6 million and 6.3 million shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the inclusion of such shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

Zoran Corporation v. DTS, Inc.On October 8, 2008, the Company filed a complaint against DTS, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging violations of Section 2 of the Sherman Act and patent misuse (the “Antitrust Case”). The complaint alleged that DTS wrongfully acquired and maintained monopoly power in the relevant markets in the manner in which it caused its patented high-definition audio decompression technology to be adopted as part of the Blu-ray Disc standard. The complaint further alleged that, having wrongfully acquired monopoly power in the relevant markets, DTS refused to license its technology to the Company and others on fair, reasonable and nondiscriminatory, or FRAND, terms as required by its membership in the Blu-ray Disc Association (the “BDA”). The complaint sought treble damages, in an amount to be determined, an order enjoining DTS from monopolizing and attempting to monopolize the United States markets for Blu-ray Disc technology and an order declaring that DTS’s relevant patents are unenforceable by reason of misuse.

On October 8, 2008, the Company also filed a notice of arbitration with the International Center for Dispute Resolution under the BDA By-laws making allegations similar to those in the Antitrust Case and seeking an order granting the Company a license to DTS’s Blu-ray technology and requiring DTS to provide the Company with necessary DTS Blu-ray materials or their equivalent on FRAND terms and a finding that DTS materially breached the Blu-ray Disc Association By-Laws (the “Arbitration Proceeding”). On November 10, 2008, DTS filed its statement of defense and counterclaim in the Arbitration Proceeding in which DTS raised defenses to the Company’s claims and asserted that the Company had breached the BDA Bylaws by filing the Antitrust Case. On December 10, 2008, the Company filed its response denying the allegations made by DTS in its statement of defense and counterclaim.

On October 29, 2008, DTS filed a motion seeking an order referring the Company’s claims in the Antitrust Case to arbitration and dismissing the complaint in its entirety or, in the alternative, staying the District Court action pending the outcome of the arbitration. On January 20, 2009, the Court ordered all essentially FRAND-based issues referred to arbitration, denied the motion with respect to all non-arbitrable issues, and stayed the Antitrust Case pending the arbitrator’s decision on the FRAND issues. On February 12, 2009, DTS filed a notice of appeal of the Court’s order with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

20

On November 21, 2008, DTS filed a complaint against the Company in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Los Angeles, Northwest District (the “State Court Case”). In the State Court Case, DTS alleges fraud, breach of contract and unfair competition claims based on allegations that the Company improperly disseminated DTS’ technology to unlicensed distributors and equipment makers, made affirmative misstatements, including representations that it would sell decoder chips only to DTS-licensed CEMs and failed to report sales of DTS decoder chips to non-licensed CEMs. In the State Court Case complaint, DTS sought damages in an unspecified amount and injunctive relief. On December 23, 2008, in response to DTS’s complaint, the Company filed a general denial, denying all of DTS’ allegations, and asserted affirmative defenses against DTS. The Company also filed a cross-complaint against DTS seeking declaratory relief. On January 22, 2009, DTS filed a general denial and asserted affirmative defenses in response to the Company’s cross-complaint.

By letter dated February 17, 2009, DTS’s counsel asserted a further claim that the Company had violated federal law, including Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as unspecified state laws, by making false and misleading statements implying that it has, or shortly will have, a license to the Blu-ray technology, and that DTS has been damaged by such statements. The letter threatens further legal action by DTS. In subsequent correspondence, DTS’s counsel repeated its claims that the Company has made false and misleading statements regarding these matters. The Company denied these additional allegations.

On June 18, 2009, the Company and DTS entered into an agreement settling all of the pending litigation and claims between the parties. In connection with the settlement, the Company obtained a license to DTS’s technologies required for the use of DTS’s Blu-ray Disc technology.

Zoran Corporation v. Macrovision Solutions, Inc and Macrovision, Inc. (collectively, “Macrovision”). On December 3, 2008, Macrovision sent the Company a letter in which Macrovision alleged that the Company had breached a component supplier non-assertion and technical services agreement with Macrovision, demanded that the Company cure certain alleged breaches of the agreement and purported to terminate the agreement. On December 23, 2008, the Company sent Macrovision a letter stating, among other things, that the Company had not breached the agreement and refuting Macrovision’s purported termination of the agreement. The Company further advised Macrovision that it is the Company’s position that the agreement remains in full force and effect. The Company and Macrovision were unable to resolve this dispute through subsequent communications. Accordingly, on January 20, 2009, the Company filed a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association seeking an order declaring that it has not breached its agreement with Macrovision and that the agreement has not been terminated. On February 18, 2009, Macrovision filed an answering statement and counterdemand in which it denied that the Company is entitled to any relief and asserted various affirmative defenses. In its counterdemand, Macrovision seeks an order declaring that it terminated the agreement and also alleges breaches of the agreement by the Company for which it seeks unspecified damages, costs and permanent injunctive relief. The parties subsequently agreed to transfer the arbitration to JAMS, Inc., and the arbitration hearing is scheduled to begin on September 14, 2009.

The Company intends to vigorously pursue all rights and remedies it may have against Macrovision and defend itself against allegations made by Macrovision in these proceedings.

Indemnification Obligations

The Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws require the Company to indemnify its Directors and authorize the Company to indemnify its officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). In addition, each of the Company’s current Directors and executive officers has entered into a separate indemnification agreement with the Company. Finally, the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of Directors to the Company or its stockholders to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

Other Legal Matters

The Company is named from time to time as a party to lawsuits in the normal course of its business, such as the matters noted above. Litigation in general and intellectual property and securities litigation in particular, can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of legal proceedings are difficult to predict. The Company accrues for contingent liabilities when it is probable that a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statement and such amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company incurred one-time costs of $11.0 million in connection with settlement of various intellectual property disputes.

13. ACQUISITION

Let It Wave

On June 12, 2008, the Company completed the acquisition of Let It Wave, a fabless development-stage semiconductor company based in Paris, France. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company acquired Let It Wave in an all-cash transaction valued at $24.0 million, including approximately $650,000 of transaction costs. The Company also agreed to make contingent payments up to $4.5 million in additional consideration, subject to the completion of certain milestones as well as continuous employment. The milestones were not achieved and thus there were no payments in relation to the milestones. The balance as of June 30, 2009, of $431,000 related to continuous employment will continue to be expensed as incurred through 2010.

The primary purpose of the acquisition was to obtain Let It Wave’s in-process development of a video frame rate conversion and image enhancement technology for flat panel televisions and other consumer electronics. By acquiring Let It Wave, the Company intends to deliver high performance image processing that enables artifact-free true-Motion Compensated Frame Rate Conversion (“MCFRC”) for flat panel televisions and other video consumer electronics products. Let It Wave currently has no other products, revenues or a customer base. Upon completion of a finished product, the Company expects to market this technology for 120Hz LCD televisions within the Consumer group. The development of the in process technology was completed in the second quarter of 2009 as anticipated.

The Company accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 142 (“SFAS 142”), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and Emerging Issues Task Force No. 98-3 (“EITF 98-3”), “Determining Whether a Nonmonetary Transaction Involves Receipt of Productive Assets or of a Business.” The results of operations of Let It Wave have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

Allocation of the purchase price is as follows (in thousands):

In-process research and development	$	22,383
Assembled workforce		1,305
Net assets acquired		340
	$	24,028

Net assets acquired were recorded at net book value, which approximates their fair values. The purchase price in excess of the fair values of net assets acquired was allocated to in-process research and development and assembled workforce based on the relative fair values.

The in-process research and development had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use. Accordingly the amount allocated to in-process research and development was immediately expensed upon the acquisition date. The value of in-process research and development was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method by estimating the expected net cash flows from the projects once commercially viable, discounting the net cash flows back to their present value using a discount rate of 15%. This rate was based on the industry segment for the technology, nature of the products to be developed, relative risk of successful development, time-value of money, length of time to complete the project and overall maturity and history of the development team. Revenues from the incremental core technology are expected to commence in 2009. Revenue projections were based on estimates of market size and growth, expected trends in technology and the expected timing of new product introductions. As of June 30, 2009, there have been no material variations from the underlying assumptions that were used in the original computation of the value of the acquired entity.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This report includes a number of forward-looking statements which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to many risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors” below. In this report, the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “future” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.

Overview

Our products include integrated circuits and related products used in DVD players, movie and home theater systems, digital cameras and video editing systems, standard and high definition digital televisions, and set-top boxes. We also provide high performance, low-power application processors, technology and products for the multimedia mobile phone market, and digital imaging semiconductor products and software that enable users to print, scan, process and transmit documents. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers, or OEM that incorporate them into products for consumer and commercial applications, and to resellers.

During the second half of 2008, our revenues were adversely affected by the deteriorating macroeconomic environment which had the effect of reducing consumer spending. As a result of those deteriorating conditions several cost containment programs were implemented including realigning our resources to increase focus on priorities, reducing investments in certain areas, generally eliminating salary increases, scaling back travel, as well as other measures. In addition, we renewed our focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet, and in particular, managing our cash and inventory balances very closely.

While the global economic downturn continues to affect consumer spending we are seeing some indications that it may be stabilizing. In our DTV product line we have seen increasing demand for low to mid-range LCD TVs where we have a strong market position. We are also seeing some quarterly sequential growth in our digital camera product line also as a result of increased demand for low to mid-range models. The DVD market appears to be improving and we are seeing some increased demand for our value-add DVD products such as HDMI players and portables.

While we have seen some recent strength in demand for certain of our products, consumer spending has not yet reached previous levels and we remain cautious regarding the outlook for the balance of 2009. As a result, we are continuing several of the cost containment measures previously mentioned.

Revenues

We derive most of our revenues from the sale of our integrated circuit and system-on-a-chip products. Historically, average selling prices for our products, consistent with average selling prices for products in the semiconductor industry generally, have decreased over time. Average selling prices for our products have fluctuated substantially from period to period, reflecting changes in our mix of sales to OEM customers versus resellers and transitions from low-volume to high-volume production. In the past, we have periodically reduced the prices of some of our products in order to better penetrate the consumer market. We believe that, as our product lines continue to mature and competitive markets evolve, we are likely to experience further declines in the average selling prices of our products, although we cannot predict the timing and amount of such future changes with any certainty.

We also derive revenues from licensing our software and other intellectual property. Licensing revenues include one-time license fees and royalties based on the number of units distributed by the licensee. Quarterly licensing revenues can be significantly affected by the timing of a small number of licensing transactions, each accounting for substantial revenues. Accordingly, licensing revenues have fluctuated, and will continue to fluctuate, on a quarterly basis. Our software license agreements typically include obligations to provide maintenance and other support over a fixed term and allow for renewal of maintenance services on an annual basis. We determine the fair value of our maintenance obligations with reference to substantive renewal rates within the agreement or objective evidence of fair value as required under Statement of Position, or SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition. In instances where we are unable to determine the fair value of our maintenance obligations, revenue for the entire arrangement is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement. We recognize maintenance and support revenue ratably over the term of the arrangement. We also receive royalty revenues based on per unit shipments of products that include our software, which we recognize upon receipt of a royalty report from the customer, typically one quarter after the sales are made by our licensee.

We also generate a portion of our revenues from development contracts, primarily with key customers. Revenue from development contracts are generally recognized as the services are performed based on the specific deliverables outlined in each contract. Amounts received in advance of performance under contracts are recorded as deferred revenue and are generally recognized within one year from receipt.

23

Cost of Hardware Product Revenues

Our cost of hardware product revenues consists primarily of fabrication costs, assembly and test costs, and the cost of materials and overhead from operations. If we are unable to reduce our cost of hardware product revenues to offset anticipated decreases in average selling prices, our product gross margins will decrease. We expect both product and customer mix to continue to fluctuate in future periods, causing fluctuations in margins.

Research and Development

Our research and development expenses consist of salaries and related costs of employees engaged in ongoing research, design and development activities and costs of engineering materials and supplies. We believe that significant investments in research and development are required for us to remain competitive, and we expect to continue to devote significant resources to product development, although such expenses as a percentage of total revenues may fluctuate.

Selling, General and Administrative

Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee-related expenses, sales commissions, product promotion and other professional services.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate is highly dependent upon the geographic distribution of our worldwide earnings or losses. Our current tax expense reflects taxes expected to be owed in our profitable jurisdictions. In addition, due to economic changes in the global economy during 2008 and 2009, we identified certain foreign jurisdictions where it is no longer more likely than not that we will fully utilize our deferred tax assets, and we continue to record a valuation allowance on the portion of our deferred tax assets which are dependent on future income to be realized. The determination of when to record or remove a valuation allowance is highly subjective and is done by jurisdiction. We rely primarily on an analysis of cumulative earnings or losses and projected future earnings or losses. It is possible that we will remove or record a valuation allowance on these or other jurisdictions in the near future dependent primarily on the actual and projected results in that jurisdiction.

Our Israel based subsidiary is an “Approved Enterprise” under Israeli law, which provides a ten-year tax holiday for income attributable to a portion of our operations in Israel. Our U.S. federal net operating losses expire at various times between 2009 and 2024, and the benefits from our subsidiary’s Approved Enterprise status expire at various times beginning in 2011.

The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. We record liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes may be due. Actual tax liabilities may be different than the recorded estimates and could result in an additional charge or benefit to the tax provision in the period when the ultimate tax assessment is determined. We are currently under a tax audit in Israel for tax years 2005 through 2007 and the California Franchise Tax Board for tax years 2005 and 2006. We believe that we have adequately provided for any potential assessments associated with these audits. It is possible that the amount of our liability for unrecognized income tax benefits may change within the next 12 months. In addition, our income tax expense could be affected as other events occur, income tax audits conclude or statutes of limitations expire. We cannot estimate at this time the range of possible variations in our tax expense.

Segments

Our products consist of application-specific integrated circuits, or ASICs, and system-on-a-chip, or SOC, products. We also license certain software and other intellectual property. We operate in two operating segments – Consumer and Imaging. The Consumer group provides products for use in DVD players, recordable DVD players, standard and high definition digital television products, digital cameras and multimedia mobile phones. The Imaging group provides products used in digital copiers, laser and inkjet printers, and multifunction peripherals.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,

24

liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

Hardware product revenues for Mobile products decreased by $17.4 million or 33%. Total units shipped for Mobile products decreased by 22% and average selling price decreased by 14% compared to the same period of the prior year. Partially offsetting the decreases in hardware product revenues for DVD and Mobile products was an increase of $4.9 million or 14% for DTV products. Total DTV products units shipped increased by 21% principally due to increased shipment from new products, which was partially offset by decrease in average selling price by 6% compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease in Imaging hardware product revenues was primarily due to a 74% decrease in unit shipments due to the decrease in demand as a result of the economic downturn. We believe that the recent worldwide recession has adversely affected the markets that our customers serve, and we expect this impact may continue to reduce sales of our products until the economy begins to recover.

Hardware product revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $148.1 million compared to $207.9 million for the comparable period of the prior year. Hardware product revenues decreased $49.8 million or 26% in the Consumer segment and $9.9 million or 67% in the Imaging segment. The decrease in revenues in the Consumer segment was primarily due to a decrease in total units shipped for products in the Consumer segment by 26% compared to the same period of the prior year. Within the Consumer segment, hardware product revenues for DVD products decreased by $19.9 million or 48%. Total DVD products units shipped decreased by 40% and average selling price decreased by 12% compared to the same period of the prior year. Hardware product revenues for Mobile products decreased by $32.1 million or 36%. Total units shipped for Mobile products decreased by 26% and average selling price decreased by 13% compared to the same period of the prior year. Partially offsetting the reduced hardware product revenues for DVD and Mobile products was an increase of $2.2 million or 3% for DTV products. Total units shipped for DTV products increased by 9% from

26

new products, which was partially offset by decrease in average selling price by 5% compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease in Imaging hardware product revenues was primarily due to a 76% decrease in unit shipments due to the decrease in demand as a result of the economic downturn.

Software and Other Revenues

Software and other revenues were $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $15.1 million for the comparable period of the prior year. Software and other revenues decreased by $1.3 million in the Consumer segment and $3.3 million in the Imaging segment compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in the Consumer segment was primarily due to a $1.5 million decrease in royalty revenue from the Mediatek settlement which ended in the fourth quarter of 2008. The decrease in the Imaging segment was primarily due to timing of new license deals and a decrease in royalty revenues from customers due to decreased unit shipments of products that include our software as a result of deterioration in the macroeconomic environment.

Software and other revenues were $23.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $29.8 million for the comparable period of the prior year. Software and other revenues decreased by $2.6 million in the Consumer segment and $4.2 million in the Imaging segment compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in the Consumer segment was primarily due to a $3.1 million decrease in royalty revenue from the Mediatek settlement which ended in the fourth quarter of 2008. The decrease in the Imaging segment was primarily due to a decrease in royalty revenues due to decreased unit shipments of products that include our software as a result of the current economic slow down.

Cost of Hardware Product Revenues

Cost of hardware product revenues were $54.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $68.4 million for the same period in 2008. The decrease in cost of hardware product revenues of $14.0 million or 21% was primarily due to a decrease in total units shipped by 17%. The remaining decrease was due to lower costs for our integrated circuits primarily in our DTV products.

Cost of hardware product revenues were $90.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $126.1 million for the same period in 2008. The decrease in cost of hardware product revenues of $35.8 million or 28% was primarily due to a decrease in total units shipped of 30% compared to the same period in 2008. Cost of hardware product as percentage of hardware product revenues remained fairy consistent in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period of prior year.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses were $27.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $30.8 million for the same period in 2008. The decrease in costs by $3.3 million or 11% was primarily due to fluctuations based on the timing of tape-outs which include mask sets and engineering wafers and reduction in payroll costs in certain areas due to cost control measures currently in place.

Research and development expenses were $57.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $58.7 million for the same period in 2008. The decrease in costs by $1.7 million or 3% was primarily due to fluctuations based on the timing of tape-outs which include mask sets and engineering wafers and reduction in payroll costs which was partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in costs for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 as a result of the inclusion of operations of Let It Wave which we acquired in June 2008.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $36.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $24.3 million for the same period in 2008. The increase in costs by $12.6 million or 52% was primarily associated with one time costs of $11.0 million in connection with settlement of intellectual property licensing disputes.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $61.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $49.9 million for the same period in 2008. The increase in costs by $11.6 million or 23% was primarily due to one time costs of $11.0 million incurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 in connection with settlement of intellectual property licensing disputes.

27

Amortization of Intangible Assets

During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, we incurred charges of $0.1 and $0.2 million, respectively, related to the amortization of intangible assets compared to $9.3 million and $18.5 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The majority of our intangible assets became fully amortized in the third quarter of 2008 as part of our annual impairment analysis. At June 30, 2009, we had approximately $0.9 million in net intangible assets acquired through the Let It Wave acquisition in June 2008, which we will continue to amortize on a straight line basis through 2011.

In-Process Research and Development

During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded an in-process research and development expense of $22.4 million as part of the June 2008 acquisition of Let It Wave. There were no charges recorded for in-process research and development during 2009.

Interest Income

Interest income was $2.4 million and $5.1 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $3.3 million and $7.8 million for the same period of 2008. The decrease in interest income in 2009 was primarily due to lower average interest earned on our cash and short term investment balances due to declines in interest rates.

Other Income (Expense), net

Other expense was $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to an expense of $0.4 million for the same period of 2008. Other income was $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to an expense of $1.1 million for the same period of 2008.

The changes in other income or expense were primarily due to foreign currency remeasurement gains or losses as a result of the fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar in comparison to currencies in countries in which we operate.

Provision for Income Taxes

We recorded a tax provision of $0 and $2.7 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, compared to a tax provision of $13.1 million and $10.1 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The provision for income taxes reported for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 reflects the estimated annual tax rate applied to the year to date net income in our profitable jurisdictions, adjusted for discrete items which are fully recognized in the period they occur. In certain foreign jurisdictions, we have losses which we do not expect to benefit from in 2009. In the first half of 2008, we anticipated that our year to date loss would be fully benefitted by the end of the year and accordingly we recognized a benefit on the year to date losses.

The income tax provision for these periods was affected by the geographic distribution of our worldwide earnings and losses, the impacts of recording or removing a valuation allowance relating to deferred tax assets, non-deductible expenses such as SFAS 123R stock-based compensation expense, as well as the accrual of liabilities associated with unrecognized tax benefits. Our Israel based subsidiary is an “Approved Enterprise” under Israeli law, which provides a ten-year tax holiday for income attributable to a portion of our operations in Israel.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2009, we had $98.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, $251.7 million of short term investments and $37.3 million of long- term investments. At June 30, 2009, we had $365.8 million of working capital.

Cash used in operating activities was $16.2 million during the first six months of 2009. While we recorded a net loss of $34.9 million, this loss included non-cash items such as depreciation of $3.7 million, amortization of $0.2 million and stock-based compensation expense of $6.0 million. Cash from changes in assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities totaling $18.7 million primarily due to increase in purchases and a decrease in prepaid expenses, other current assets and other assets by $4.7 million due to timing of payments. These changes were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable by $10.5 million due to increase in shipments in the current quarter and increase in inventories by $4.4 million to meet the expected increase in demand.

28

Cash provided by investing activities was $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009, principally reflecting the proceeds from sales and maturities of investments, net of purchases, of $1.5 million. This was partially offset by $0.9 million used for purchases of property and equipment.

Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $3.3 million and consisted of proceeds from sale of stock under our employee stock purchase plan and issuances of common stock through exercises of employee stock options.

Cash used in operating activities was $21.3 million during the first six months of 2008. While we recorded a net loss of $41.3 million, this loss included non-cash items such as amortization of $18.5 million, depreciation of $4.0 million, in-process research and development expense of $22.4 million and stock-based compensation expense of $6.6 million. Cash used in operations was primarily due to an increase in inventory by $11.6 million to meet the expected increase in demand for our newer products and decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities totaling $27.6 million due to timing of payments. These changes were partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets by $1.3 million due to the timing of collections and payments.

Cash provided by investing activities was $5.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008, principally reflecting the proceeds from sales and maturities of investments, net of purchases, of $32.1 million. This was partially offset by $22.8 million used for the acquisition of Let It Wave and $3.7 million used for purchases of property and equipment.

Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $4.1 million, consisting of proceeds received from issuances of common stock through exercises of stock options and proceeds from the sale of stock under our employee stock purchase plan.

At June 30, 2009, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Accordingly, we are not exposed to the type of financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

We believe that our current balances of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, and anticipated cash flow from operations, will satisfy our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements at least through the next 12 months. Nonetheless, our future capital requirements may vary materially from those now planned and will depend on many factors including, but not limited to:

• the levels at which we maintain inventories and accounts receivable;

• market acceptance of our products;

• impact of declines in average selling prices;

• the levels of promotion and advertising required to launch our new products, sell our existing products or to enter new or maintain our existing markets and attain a competitive position in the marketplace;

• our business, product, capital expenditure and research and development plans and technology roadmap;

• acquisitions of businesses, products or technologies;

• volume pricing concessions;

• capital improvements;

• technological advances;

• the response of competitors to our products; and

• our relationships with our suppliers and customers.

In addition, we may require an increase in the level of working capital to accommodate planned growth, hiring and infrastructure needs.

29

To the extent that our existing resources and cash generated from operations are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private financings or borrowings. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt or preferred equity securities, these securities could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to holders of common stock, and the terms of this debt could impose restrictions on our operations and, in the case of debt, would require us to make debt service payments. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. We cannot be certain that additional financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain this additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned product development and sales and marketing efforts, refrain from acquisitions or take other measures which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

At June 30, 2009, we held ARS with a par value of $37.3 million and a fair value of $35.3 million. Our ARS are high grade long-term debt instruments backed by student loans which are guaranteed by the United States government. All of our ARS have credit ratings of AAA or AA, and none are mortgage-backed debt obligations. Historically, our ARS were highly liquid, using a Dutch auction process that resets the applicable interest rate at predetermined intervals, typically every 35 days, to provide liquidity at par. However, as a result of liquidity issues in the global credit and capital markets, the auctions for most of our ARS failed beginning in the first quarter of 2008 when sell orders exceeded buy orders. The failures of these auctions do not affect the value of the collateral underlying the ARS, and we continue to earn and receive interest on our ARS at a pre-determined formula with spreads tied to particular interest rate indeces. However, due to the current financial market environment, we may be unable to sell these ARS which could restrict our liquidity.

Our investment policy focuses on three objectives: to preserve capital, to meet liquidity requirements and to maximize total return. Our investment policy establishes minimum ratings for each classification of investment and investment concentration is limited in order to minimize risk, and the policy also limits the final maturity on any investment and the overall duration of the portfolio. Given the overall market conditions, we regularly review our investment portfolio to ensure adherence to our investment policy and to monitor individual investments for risk analysis and proper valuation.

We hold our marketable securities as trading and available-for-sale and mark them to market. We expect to realize the full value of all our marketable securities upon maturity or sale, as we have the intent and believe we have the ability to hold the securities until the full value is realized. However, we cannot provide any assurance that our invested cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets, which may require us to record an impairment charge that could adversely impact our financial results.

Contractual Obligations

The following is a summary of fixed payments related to certain contractual obligations as of June 30, 2009 (in thousands):

Contractual Obligations	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than 5 years

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

We maintain an investment portfolio of various holdings, types, and maturities. See Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We hold our marketable securities, other than the ARS held with UBS, as available-for-sale and mark them to market. We expect to realize the full value of all our marketable securities upon maturity or sale, as we have the intent and believe that we have the ability to hold the securities until the full value is realized. However, we cannot provide any assurance that our invested cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets, which may require us to record an impairment charge that could adversely impact our financial results.

30

We consider various factors in determining whether we should recognize an impairment charge for our fixed income securities and publicly traded equity securities, including the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than our cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and our intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

Interest Rate Risk

We invest in a variety of financial instruments, consisting principally of investments in commercial paper, money market funds, auction rate securities and highly liquid debt securities of corporations, municipalities and the United States government and its agencies. These investments are denominated in United States dollars. We do not maintain derivative financial instruments. We place our investments in instruments that meet high credit quality standards, as specified in our investment policy guidelines.

We account for our investment instruments in accordance with SFAS 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. All of our cash equivalents and marketable securities other than our ARS with UBS are treated as “available-for-sale” under SFAS 115. Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell securities that decline in market value due to changes in interest rates. However, because we generally classify our debt securities as “available-for-sale” no gains or losses are recognized due to changes in interest rates unless such securities are sold prior to maturity or declines in fair value are determined to be other than temporary. These securities are reported at fair value with the related unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity, net of tax.

Due mainly to the short-term nature of the major portion of our investment portfolio, the fair value of our investment portfolio or related income would not be significantly impacted by either a 10% increase or decrease in interest rates. Actual future gains and losses associated with our investments may differ from the sensitivity analyses performed as of June 30, 2009 due to the inherent limitations associated with predicting the changes in the timing and level of interest rates and our actual exposures and positions.

Exchange Rate Risk

We consider our direct exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. We recorded an exchange loss of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. We recorded an exchange gain of $0.6 million and a loss of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. These fluctuations were primarily due to foreign currency remeasurement as a result of changes in the value of US dollar in comparison to currencies in countries in which we operate.

Currently, sales and arrangements with third-party manufacturers provide for pricing and payment in United States dollars, and, therefore, are not subject to exchange rate fluctuations. Increases in the value of the United States’ dollar relative to other currencies would make our products more expensive, which could negatively impact our ability to compete. Conversely, decreases in the value of the United States’ dollar relative to other currencies could result in our suppliers raising their prices in order to continue doing business with us.

A portion of the cost of our operations, relating mainly to our personnel and facilities in Israel, Asia and Europe, are transacted in foreign currencies. To date, we have not engaged in any currency hedging activities, although we may do so in the future. Significant fluctuations in currency exchange rates could impact our business in the future.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Changes to Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The information required by this Item is incorporated by reference to the discussion in Part I, Item 1, Note 12.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our future business, operating results and financial condition are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described below. The following description of the risk factors associated with our business includes any material changes to and supersedes the description of risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Our annual revenues and operating results fluctuate due to a variety of factors, which may result in volatility or a decline in the price of our common stock.

Our historical operating results have varied significantly from period to period due to a number of factors, including:

• fluctuation in demand for our products including reduced demand resulting from the current global economic slowdown and general decline in business conditions;

• the timing of new product introductions or enhancements by us and our competitors;

• the level of market acceptance of new and enhanced versions of our products and our customers’ products;

• the timing or cancellation of large customer orders;

• whether our customers choose our products over those of our competitors for existing or new products and applications;

• the length and variability of the sales cycle for our products;

• pricing policy changes by us and by our competitors and suppliers;

• the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry;

• the availability of development funding and the timing of development revenue;

• changes in the mix of products sold;

• seasonality in demand for our products since revenues in the second half of the calendar year have historically been higher than the first half;

• increased competition in product lines, and competitive pricing pressures; and

• the evolving and unpredictable nature of the markets for products incorporating our integrated circuits and embedded software.

We expect that our operating results will continue to fluctuate in the future as a result of these factors and a variety of other factors, including:

• the cost and availability of adequate foundry capacity;

• fluctuations in manufacturing yields;

• changes in or the emergence of new industry standards;

• failure to anticipate changing customer product requirements;

• the loss or gain of important customers;

• product obsolescence; and

• the amount of research and development expenses associated with new product introductions.

32

Our operating results could also be harmed by:

• economic conditions generally or in various geographic areas where we or our customers do business;

• financial instability as a result of problems with mortgage-related securities, liquidity of financial institutions, and credit market problems;

• other conditions affecting the timing or size of customer orders;

• changes in governmental regulations that could affect our products;

• a downturn in the markets for our customers’ products, particularly the consumer electronics market;

• disruption in commercial activities associated with heightened security concerns affecting international travel and commerce;

• reduced demand for consumer electronics products due to an economic slowdown;

• liquidity constraints caused by failed auctions and lack of a liquid market for our auction rate securities;

• tightened immigration controls that may adversely affect the residence status of key non-U.S. managers and technical employees in our U.S. facilities or our ability to hire new non-U.S. employees in such facilities;

• terrorism and international conflicts or other crises; or

• further worsening or expansion of armed conflict in the Middle East which could adversely affect our operations in Israel.

These factors are difficult or impossible to forecast. We place orders with independent foundries several months in advance of the scheduled delivery date, often in advance of receiving non-cancelable orders from our customers. This limits our ability to react to fluctuations in demand. If anticipated shipments in any quarter are canceled or do not occur as quickly as expected, or if we fail to foresee a technology or market change that could render our or one of our customer’s products obsolete, expense and inventory levels could be disproportionately high and we may incur charges for excess inventory, which would harm our gross margins and financial results. If anticipated license revenues in any quarter are canceled, do not occur, or are lower than anticipated, our gross margins and financial results may be affected.

A significant portion of our expenses are relatively fixed, and the timing of increases in expenses is based in large part on our forecast of future revenues. As a result, if revenues do not meet our expectations, we may be unable to quickly adjust expenses to levels appropriate to actual revenues, which could harm our operating results.

Our customers’ sales fluctuate due to product cycles and seasonality.

Because the markets that our customers serve are characterized by numerous new product introductions and rapid product enhancements and obsolescence, our operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter. During the final production of a mature product, our customers typically exhaust their existing inventories of our products. Consequently, orders for our products may decline in those circumstances, even if the products are incorporated into both mature products and replacement products. A delay in a customer’s transition to commercial production of a replacement product would delay our ability to recover the lost sales from the discontinuation of the related mature product. Our customers also experience significant seasonality in the sales of their consumer products, which affects their orders of our products. Typically, the second half of the calendar year represents a disproportionate percentage of sales for our customers due to the holiday shopping period for consumer electronics products, and therefore, a disproportionate percentage of our sales. We expect these seasonal sales fluctuations to continue for the foreseeable future and any further economic slowdown could increase the seasonal decline in sales that we typically see in the first half of the calendar year or mitigate the typical increase in sales in the second half of the calendar year.

Our ability to match production mix with the product mix needed to fill current orders and orders to be delivered in a given quarter may affect our ability to meet that quarter’s revenue forecast. In addition, when responding to customers’ requests for shorter shipment lead times, we manufacture products based on forecasts of customers’ demands. These forecasts are based on multiple assumptions. If we inaccurately forecast customer demand, we may hold inadequate, excess or obsolete inventory that would reduce our profit margins and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We derive most of our revenue from sales to a small number of large customers, and if we are not able to retain these customers, or they reschedule, reduce or cancel orders, our revenues would be reduced and our financial results would suffer.

Our largest customers account for a substantial percentage of our revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, three customers accounted for 19%, 11% and 11% of total revenues while sales to our ten largest customers accounted for 70% of our total revenues. In 2008, three customers accounted for 13%, 10% and 10% of our total revenues, respectively, and sales to our ten largest customers accounted for 64% of our total revenues. In the Mobile phone market, we currently rely almost exclusively on a single customer. Sales

33

to these large customers have varied significantly from year to year and will continue to fluctuate in the future. These sales also may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. We may not be able to retain our key customers, or these customers may cancel purchase orders or reschedule or decrease their level of purchases from us. Any substantial decrease or delay in sales to one or more of our key customers would harm our sales and financial results. In addition, any difficulty in collecting amounts due from one or more key customers could harm our financial results. As of June 30, 2009, three customers accounted for approximately 29%, 13% and 12% of our net accounts receivable balance, respectively.

Our products generally have long sales cycles and implementation periods, which increases our costs in obtaining orders and reduces the predictability of our operating results.

Our products are technologically complex. Prospective customers generally must make a significant commitment of resources to test and evaluate our products and to integrate them into larger systems. As a result, our sales processes are often subject to delays associated with lengthy approval processes that typically accompany the design and testing of new products. The sales cycles of our products, depending on our product line, can range from three to twelve months. Longer sales cycles require us to invest significant resources in attempting to make sales and delay the generation of revenue. We incur costs related to such sales prior to, and even if we do not succeed in, any sale to a customer.

Long sales cycles also subject us to other risks, including customers’ budgetary constraints or insolvency, internal acceptance reviews and cancellations. In addition, orders expected in one quarter could shift to another because of the timing of customers’ purchase decisions, which could harm our financial results in any given period.

The time required for our customers to incorporate our products into their own can vary significantly with the needs of our customers and generally exceeds several months, which further complicates our planning processes and reduces the predictability of our operating results.

We are not protected by long-term contracts with our customers.

We generally do not enter into long-term purchase contracts with our customers, and we cannot be certain as to future order levels from our customers. Customers generally purchase our products subject to cancelable short-term purchase orders. We cannot predict whether our current customers will continue to place orders, whether existing orders will be canceled, or whether customers who have ordered products will pay invoices for delivered products. When we do enter into a long-term contract, the contract is generally terminable at the convenience of the customer. Early termination by one of our major customers would harm our financial results.

The worldwide economic downturn and other adverse economic factors has reduced our sales and revenues, increased our expenses and hurt our profitability, results of operations and financial condition.

The current worldwide economic downturn has reduced and is likely to further reduce consumer spending on products made by our customers. Other factors, such as unemployment levels, inflation, deflation, fuel and energy costs, consumer debt levels, interest rates and tax rates, may also reduce overall consumer spending or shift consumer spending to products other than those made by our customers. Reduced sales by our customers hurt our business by reducing demand for our products. Moreover, if customers are not successful in generating sufficient revenue or are precluded from securing financing, they may not be able to pay, or may delay payment of, accounts receivable that are owed to us. Lower net sales of our products and reduced payment capacity of our customers would reduce our immediate and future revenues. In addition, our expenses could rise due to, among other things, fluctuations of the value of the United States dollar, changes in interest and tax rates, decreased inventory turnover, increases in vendor prices, and reduced vendor output. Such reduction of our revenues and increase of our expenses would hurt our profitability and harm our results of operations and financial condition. In preparing our financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes, and some of those estimates are based on our forecasts of future results. The current volatility in the worldwide economy increases the risk that our actual results will differ materially from our forecasts, requiring adjustments in future financial statements.

Trends in global credit markets could result in insolvency of our key suppliers or customers, and customer inability to finance purchases of our products.

The credit market crisis (including uncertainties with respect to financial institutions and the global capital markets) and other macro-economic challenges currently affecting the worldwide economy may adversely affect our customers and suppliers. As a result of these conditions, our customers may experience cash flow problems and may modify, delay or cancel plans to purchase our products. If our customers are unable to finance purchases of our products, our sales will be adversely affected.

34

Similarly, current economic and credit conditions may cause our suppliers to increase their prices or reduce their output, which could increase our expenses or impair our sales. Moreover, if one of our key suppliers becomes insolvent, we may not be able to find a suitable substitute in a timely manner and our cost of production may increase. If economic and credit conditions in the United States and other key markets deteriorate further or do not show improvement, our business and operating results may be adversely affected.

Our products are characterized by average selling prices that typically decline over relatively short time periods; if we are unable to reduce our costs or introduce new products with higher average selling prices, our financial results will suffer.

Average selling prices for our products typically decline over relatively short time periods, while many of our manufacturing costs are fixed. When our average selling prices decline, our revenues decline unless we are able to sell more units and our gross margins decline unless we are able to reduce our manufacturing costs by a commensurate amount. Our operating results suffer when gross margins decline. We have experienced these problems, and we expect to continue to experience them in the future, although we cannot predict when they may occur or how severe they will be – for example, we have experienced declines in average selling prices in the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period of the prior year.

Our operating results may be harmed by cyclical and volatile conditions in the markets we address. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.

We operate in the semiconductor industry, which is cyclical and from time to time has experienced significant downturns. Downturns in the industry often occur in connection with, or anticipation of, maturing product cycles for semiconductor companies and their customers, and declines in general economic conditions. These downturns can cause abrupt fluctuations in product demand, production over-capacity and accelerated decline of average selling prices. The current worldwide economic downturn and the downturn in our industry has harmed our revenue and our results of operations. This downturn may be severe and prolonged, which may continue to harm our revenues, gross margins and results of operations. The semiconductor industry also periodically experiences increased demand and production capacity constraints, which may affect our revenues if we are unable to ship enough products to meet customer demand.

The recent worldwide economic downturn makes it extremely difficult for our customers, our vendors and us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities. This downturn could delay and/or lengthen sales cycles by causing U.S. and foreign businesses to slow or postpone spending on our products and services. We cannot predict the timing, strength or duration of any economic slowdown or subsequent economic recovery, worldwide, or in the semiconductor industry. The combination of our lengthy sales cycle coupled with challenging macroeconomic conditions continue to have a compounding negative impact on our results of our operations.

Our success for the foreseeable future will depend on our ability to develop and market new products in the digital markets.

In recent years, we have derived a majority of our product revenues from the sale of integrated circuits for DVD and digital camera applications. We expect that sales of our products for these applications will account for a smaller portion of our revenues in the foreseeable future. We have sold fewer units of both our DVD and Mobile products in the first half of 2009 than in the first half of 2008 and average selling prices for these products have also declined in the first half of 2009. Our future financial performance will depend on our ability to successfully develop and market new products in the digital television, HDTV, set top box and digital imaging markets. If the markets for these products and applications decline or fail to develop as expected, or we are not successful in our efforts to market and sell our products to manufacturers who incorporate integrated circuits into these products, our financial results will be harmed.

Our financial performance is highly dependent on the timely and successful introduction of new and enhanced products.

Our financial performance depends in large part on our ability to successfully develop and market next-generation and new products in a rapidly changing technological environment. If we fail to successfully identify new product opportunities and timely develop and introduce new products, obtain design wins, and achieve market acceptance, we may lose our market share and our future revenues and earnings may suffer.

In the consumer electronics market, our performance has been dependent on our successful development and timely introduction of integrated circuits for DVD players, digital cameras, multimedia accelerators for mobile phones, digital televisions, set top boxes and digital imaging products. These markets are characterized by the incorporation of a steadily increasing level of integration and numbers of features on a chip at the same or lower system cost, enabling original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, to continually improve the features or reduce the prices of the systems they sell. If we are unable to continually develop and introduce integrated circuits with increasing levels of integration and new features at competitive prices, our operating results will suffer.

35

In the Imaging market, our performance has been dependent on our successful development and timely introduction of integrated circuits for printers and multi-function peripherals. These markets are characterized by the incorporation of a steadily increasing level of integration and higher speeds on a chip at the same or lower system cost, enabling OEMs to improve the performance and features or reduce the prices of the systems they sell. If we are unable to develop and introduce integrated circuits with increasing levels of integration, performance and new features at competitive prices, our operating results will suffer. The performance of our software licensing business is dependent on our ability to develop and introduce new releases of our software, which incorporate new or enhanced printing standards, as well as performance enhancements required by our OEM customers. If we are unable to develop and release versions of our software supporting required standards and offering enhanced performance, our operating results will suffer.

We face competition or potential competition from companies with greater resources than ours, and if we are unable to compete effectively with these companies, our market share may decline and our business could be harmed.

The markets in which we compete are intensely competitive and are characterized by rapid technological change, declining average unit selling prices and rapid product obsolescence. We expect competition to increase in the future from existing competitors and from other companies that may enter our existing or future markets with solutions which may be less costly or provide higher performance or more desirable features than our products. Competition typically occurs at the design stage, when customers evaluate alternative design approaches requiring integrated circuits. Because of short product life cycles, there are frequent design win competitions for next-generation systems.

Our existing and potential competitors include many large domestic and international companies that have substantially greater financial, manufacturing, marketing, personnel, technological, market, distribution and other resources. These competitors may also have broader product lines and longer standing relationships with customers and suppliers than we have.

Some of our principal competitors maintain their own semiconductor foundries and may therefore benefit from capacity, cost and technical advantages. Our principal competitors in the integrated audio and video devices for DVD applications include MediaTek and Sunplus Technology Co. Ltd. In the markets for digital cameras, our principal competitors are in-house solutions developed and used by major Japanese OEMs, as well as products sold by Ambarella, Fujitsu, MediaTek Inc., Novatech and Texas Instruments, Inc. In the market for multimedia acceleration for mobile phones, our principal competitors include Broadcom Corp., CoreLogic, MtekVision Co.Ltd., nVidia and Telechips Inc. Our principal competitors for digital semiconductor devices in the digital television market include Broadcom Corp., M-Star, MediaTek and ST Microelectronics. Others who also participate in this market are Micronas, NXP and Trident Microsystems, Inc. Competitors in the printer and multifunction peripheral space include Adobe, Conexant Systems, Inc., Global Graphics, Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. and in-house captive suppliers.

The DVD player market has slowed, and continued competition will lead to further price reductions and reduced profit margins. We also face significant competition in the digital imaging and digital camera markets. The future growth of both markets is highly dependent on OEMs continuing to outsource chip supply and an increasing portion of their product development work rather than doing it in-house. Many of our existing competitors, as well as OEM customers that are expected to compete with us in the future, have substantially greater financial, manufacturing, technical, marketing, distribution and other resources, broader product lines and longer standing relationships with customers than we have. In addition, much of our future success is dependent on the success of our OEM customers. If we or our OEM customers are unable to compete successfully against current and future competitors, we could experience price reductions, order cancellations and reduced gross margins, any one of which could harm our business.

We must keep pace with rapid technological changes and evolving industry standards to remain competitive.

Our future success will depend on our ability to anticipate and adapt to changes in technology and industry standards and our customers’ changing demands. The consumer electronics market, in particular, is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, frequent new product introductions, short product life cycles and increasing demand for higher levels of performance and integration. Our ability to adapt to these changes and to anticipate future standards, and the rate of adoption and acceptance of those standards, will be a significant factor in maintaining or improving our competitive position and prospects for growth. If new industry standards emerge, our products or the products of our customers could become unmarketable or obsolete, and we could lose market share or be required to incur substantial unanticipated costs to comply with these new standards.

Our success will also depend on the successful development of new markets and the application and acceptance of new technologies and products in those new markets. For example, our success will depend on the ability of our customers to develop new products and enhance existing products in the digital television and set-top box markets and to introduce and promote those products successfully. These markets may not continue to develop to the extent or in the time periods that we currently anticipate due to factors outside our control. If new markets do not develop as we anticipate, or if our products do not gain widespread acceptance in these markets, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. The emergence of new markets for our products is also

36

dependent in part upon third parties developing and marketing content in a format compatible with commercial and consumer products that incorporate our products. If this content is not available, manufacturers may not be able to sell products incorporating our products, and our sales would suffer.

Our new frame rate conversion technology remains unproven, and if it is not accepted by our customers, our financial results and ability to compete could be harmed.

Our new frame rate conversion technology remains unproven, and if it is not accepted by our customers, our financial results and ability to compete could be harmed.

Through our acquisition of Let It Wave in June 2008, we acquired a frame rate conversion technology, for which we completed development in June 2009. There is no assurance, however, that this new technology will be accepted by our customers. In addition, our competitors may develop a superior performance image processing technology and introduce it in the market before us. If we cannot successfully market and sell our new frame rate conversion technology, we will not be able to recoup our costs of acquiring Let It Wave or our development costs for this technology, and our financial results and ability to compete would be harmed.

We rely on independent foundries and contractors for the manufacture, assembly and testing of our integrated circuits and other hardware products, and the failure of any of these third parties to deliver products or otherwise perform as requested could damage our relationships with our customers and harm our sales and financial results.

We do not operate any manufacturing facilities, and we rely on independent foundries to manufacture substantially all of our products. These independent foundries fabricate products for other companies and may also produce products of their own design. From time to time, there are manufacturing capacity shortages in the semiconductor industry. We do not have long-term supply contracts with any of our suppliers, including our principal supplier Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, or TSMC, and our principal assembly houses. Therefore, TSMC and our other suppliers are not obligated to manufacture products for us for any specific period, in any specific quantity or at any specified price, except as may be provided in a particular purchase order.

Our reliance on independent foundries involves a number of risks, including:

• the inability to obtain adequate manufacturing capacity;

• the unavailability or interruption of access to certain process technologies necessary for manufacture of our products;

• lack of control over delivery schedules;

• lack of control over quality assurance;

• lack of control over manufacturing yields and cost; and

• potential misappropriation of our intellectual property.

In addition, TSMC and some of our other foundries are located in areas of the world that are subject to natural disasters such as earthquakes. While the 1999 earthquake in Taiwan did not have a material impact on our independent foundries, a similar event centered near TSMC’s facility could severely reduce TSMC’s ability to manufacture our integrated circuits. The loss of any of our manufacturers as a supplier, our inability to expand the supply of their products in response to increased demand, or our inability to obtain timely and adequate deliveries from our current or future suppliers due to a natural disaster or any other reason could delay or reduce shipments of our products. Any of these circumstances could damage our relationships with current and prospective customers and harm our sales and financial results.

We also rely on a limited number of independent contractors for the assembly and testing of our products. Our reliance on independent assembly and testing houses limits our control over delivery schedules, quality assurance and product cost. Disruptions in the services provided by our assembly or testing houses or other circumstances that would require us to seek alternative sources of assembly or testing could lead to supply constraints or delays in the delivery of our products. These constraints or delays could damage our relationships with current and prospective customers and harm our financial results.

37

Because foundry capacity is limited from time to time, we may be required to enter into costly long-term supply arrangements to secure foundry capacity.

If we are not able to obtain additional foundry capacity as required, our relationships with our customers would be harmed and our sales would likely be reduced. In order to secure additional foundry capacity, we have considered, and may in the future need to consider, various arrangements with suppliers, which could include, among other things:

• option payments or other prepayments to a foundry;

• nonrefundable deposits with or loans to foundries in exchange for capacity commitments;

• contracts that commit us to purchase specified quantities of silicon wafers over extended periods;

• issuance of our equity securities to a foundry;

• investment in a foundry;

• joint ventures; or

• other partnership relationships with foundries.

We may not be able to make any such arrangement in a timely fashion or at all, and such arrangements, if any, may be expensive and may not be on terms favorable to us. Moreover, if we are able to secure foundry capacity, we may be obligated to utilize all of that capacity or incur penalties. Excess capacity could lead to write downs of excess inventory, which could harm our financial results. Such penalties may be expensive and could harm our financial results.

If our independent foundries do not achieve satisfactory yields, our relationships with our customers may be harmed.

The fabrication of silicon wafers is a complex process. Small levels of contaminants in the manufacturing environment, defects in photo masks used to print circuits on a wafer, difficulties in the fabrication process or other factors can cause a substantial portion of the integrated circuits on a wafer to be non-functional. Many of these problems are difficult to detect at an early stage of the manufacturing process and may be time consuming and expensive to correct. As a result, foundries often experience problems achieving acceptable yields, which are represented by the number of good integrated circuits as a proportion of the number of total integrated circuits on any particular wafer. Poor yields from our independent foundries would reduce our ability to deliver our products to customers, harm our relationships with our customers and harm our business.

We are dependent upon our international sales and operations; economic, political or military events in a country where we make significant sales or have significant operations could interfere with our success or operations there and harm our business.

During 2008 and the first half of 2009, 93% and 94%, respectively, of our total revenues were derived outside of North America. We moreover, anticipate that international sales will continue to account for a substantial majority of our total revenues for the foreseeable future. Substantially all of our semiconductor products are manufactured, assembled and tested outside of the United States by independent foundries and subcontractors.

We are subject to a variety of risks inherent in doing business internationally, including:

• operating in new countries where we have limited or no experience;

• unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;

• fluctuations in exchange rates;

• political and economic instability;

• armed conflicts or other crises;

• earthquakes, floods, health epidemics;

• imposition of tariffs and other barriers and restrictions;

38

• the burdens of complying with a variety of foreign laws; and

• health risks in a particular region.

A material amount of our research and development personnel and facilities and a portion of our sales and marketing personnel are located in Israel. Political, economic and military conditions in Israel directly affect our operations. For example, increased violence or armed conflict in Israel or the Palestinian territories may disrupt travel and communications in the region, harming our operations there. Furthermore, some of our employees in Israel are obligated to perform up to 36 days of military reserve duty annually and may be called to active duty in a time of crisis. The absence of these employees for significant periods may cause us to operate inefficiently during these periods.

Our operations in China are subject to the economic and political uncertainties affecting that country. For example, the Chinese economy has experienced significant growth in the past decade, but such growth has been uneven across geographic and economic sectors and may not be sustained. If Asia, particularly China, fails to continue its recent growth, or even contracts, this could harm our OEM and ODM customers based in Asia causing them to purchase fewer products from us for shipment to China, the rest of Asia and globally. In addition, Asia consumers may purchase fewer products sold by our OEM customers containing our products, and we may experience disruptions in our operations in Asia, which could harm our business and financial results.

We also maintain offices in Canada, England, France, India, Japan, Korea and Taiwan, and our operations are subject to the economic and political uncertainties affecting these countries as well.

The significant concentration of our manufacturing activities with third party foundries in Taiwan exposes us to the risk of political instability in Taiwan, including the potential for conflict between Taiwan and China. We have several significant OEM customers in Japan, Korea and other parts of Asia. Adverse economic circumstances in Asia could affect these customers’ willingness or ability to do business with us in the future or their success in developing and launching devices containing our products.

The complexity of our international operations may increase our operating expenses and disrupt our revenues and business.

We transact business and have operations worldwide. For example, international transactions account for a substantial majority of our sales; our semiconductor products are manufactured, assembled and tested outside of the United States, and in June 2008 we acquired a foreign corporation. Our global operations involve significant complexity and difficulties, including:

• monitoring and complying with applicable laws and regulatory requirements;

• staffing and managing global operations;

• complying with statutory equity requirements; and

• managing tax consequences.

Managing international operations is expensive and complex. If we are unable to manage the complexity of our global operations successfully and cost effectively, our financial performance and operating results could suffer.

Our business may be impacted by foreign exchange fluctuations.

Foreign currency fluctuations may affect the prices of our products. Prices for our products are currently denominated in United States dollars for sales to our customers throughout the world. If there is a significant devaluation of the currency in a specific country, the prices of our products will increase relative to that country’s currency; our products may be less competitive in that country and our revenues may be adversely affected. Also, we cannot be sure that our international customers will continue to be willing to place orders denominated in United States dollars. If they do not, our revenue and operating results will be subject to foreign exchange fluctuations, which we may not be able to successfully manage.

A portion of the cost of our operations, relating mainly to our personnel and facilities is incurred in foreign currencies. As a result, we bear the risk that the rate of inflation in those foreign countries or the decline in value of the United States dollar compared to those foreign currencies will increase our costs as expressed in United States dollars. To date, we have not engaged in hedging transactions. In the future, we may enter into currency hedging transactions to decrease the risk of financial exposure from fluctuations in the exchange rate of the United States dollar against foreign currencies. These measures may not adequately protect us from the impact of inflation in foreign countries.

39

Because we have significant operations in Israel, our business and future operating results could be harmed by terrorist activity or military conflict.

We conduct a significant portion of our research and development and engineering activities at our design center in Haifa, Israel, a 109,700 square foot facility where we employ approximately 460 people. We also conduct a portion of our sales and marketing operations at our Haifa facility.

Any armed conflict affecting Israel could greatly disrupt our Israeli operations locally and as a result hinder our business generally by delaying product development or interfering with global sales and marketing efforts. For example, as a result of the heightened military operations in Gaza, some of our employees were conscripted for several weeks ending in January 2009. Additional employees may also be called to active duty in the future. Extended absences could disrupt our operations and delay product development cycles.

In addition, military conflict in the Middle East or terrorist activities there or elsewhere in the world could harm our business as a result of a disruption in commercial activity affecting international commerce or a general economic slowdown and reduced demand for consumer electronic products.

Changes in, or interpretations of, tax rules and regulations may adversely affect our effective tax rates.

Unanticipated changes in our tax rates could affect our future results of operations. Our future effective tax rates could be unfavorably affected by changes in tax laws or the interpretation of tax laws, by unanticipated decreases in the amount of revenue or earnings in countries with low statutory tax rates, by changes in the geography of our income or losses, or by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. The ultimate outcomes of any future tax audits are uncertain, and we can give no assurance as to whether an adverse result from one or more of them will have a material effect on our operating results and financial position.

Our products could contain defects, which could reduce sales of those products or result in claims against us.

We develop complex and evolving products. Despite testing by us, our manufacturers and customers, errors may be found in existing or new products. This could result in, among other things, a delay in recognition or loss of revenues, loss of market share or failure to achieve market acceptance. These defects may cause us to incur significant warranty, support and repair costs, divert the attention of our engineering personnel from our product development efforts and harm our relationships with our customers. The occurrence of these problems could result in the delay or loss of market acceptance of our products and would likely harm our business. Defects, integration issues or other performance problems in our products could result in financial or other damages to customers or could damage market acceptance of such products. Our customers could also seek damages from us for their losses. A product liability claim brought against us, even if unsuccessful, would likely be time consuming and costly to defend.

Regulation of our customers’ products may slow the process of introducing new products and could impair our ability to compete.

The Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, has broad jurisdiction over our target markets in the digital television and mobile phone business. Various international entities or organizations may also regulate aspects of our business or the business of our customers. Although our products are not directly subject to regulation by any agency, the transmission pipes, as well as much of the equipment into which our products are incorporated, are subject to direct government regulation. For example, before they can be sold in the United States, advanced televisions and emerging interactive displays must be tested and certified by Underwriters Laboratories and meet FCC regulations. Accordingly, the effects of regulation on our customers or the industries in which our customers operate may in turn harm our business. In addition, our digital television and digital camera businesses may also be adversely affected by the imposition of tariffs, duties and other import restrictions on our suppliers or by the imposition of export restrictions on products that we sell internationally. Changes in current laws or regulations or the imposition of new laws or regulations in the United States or elsewhere could harm our business.

Our ability to compete could be jeopardized if we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights.

Our success and ability to compete depend in large part upon protection of our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of patent, trade secret, copyright and trademark laws, non-disclosure and other contractual agreements and technical measures to protect our proprietary rights. These agreements and measures may not be sufficient to protect our technology from third-party infringement,

40

or to protect us from the claims of others. Monitoring unauthorized use of our products is difficult, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent unauthorized use of our technology, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. The laws of certain foreign countries in which our products are or may be developed, manufactured or sold, including various countries in Asia, may not protect our products or intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States and thus make the possibility of piracy of our technology and products more likely in these countries. If competitors are able to use our technology, our ability to compete effectively could be harmed.

The protection offered by patents is uncertain. For example, our competitors may be able to effectively design around our patents, or the patents may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Those competitors may also independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology and may obtain patents that restrict our business. Moreover, while we hold, or have applied for, patents relating to the design of our products, some of our products are based in part on standards, for which we do not hold patents or other intellectual property rights.

We have generally limited access to and distribution of the source and object code of our software and other proprietary information. With respect to our page description language software, system-on-a-chip platform firmware and drivers for the digital office market and in limited circumstances with respect to firmware and platforms for our DTV products, we grant licenses that give our customers access to and restricted use of the source code of our software. This access increases the likelihood of misappropriation or misuse of our technology.

Claims and litigation regarding intellectual property rights and breach of contract claims could seriously harm our business and require us to incur significant costs.

In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States involving patents and other intellectual property rights. In the past, we have been subject to claims and litigation regarding alleged infringement of other parties’ intellectual property rights, and we have been party to a number of patent-related lawsuits, both as plaintiff and defendant. We could become subject to additional litigation in the future, either to protect our intellectual property or as a result of allegations that we infringe others’ intellectual property rights or have breached our contractual obligations to others. Claims that our products infringe proprietary rights or that we have breached contractual obligations would force us to defend ourselves and possibly our customers or manufacturers against the alleged infringement or breach. Future litigation against us, if successful, could subject us to significant liability for damages, restrict or prohibit the sale of our products or invalidate our proprietary rights. These lawsuits, regardless of their success, are time-consuming and expensive to resolve and require significant management time and attention. Our costs and potential liability are increased to the extent we have to indemnify or otherwise defend our customers. Future intellectual property and breach of contract litigation could force us to do one or more of the following:

• stop selling products that incorporate the challenged intellectual property;

• obtain from the owner of the infringed intellectual property right a license to sell or use the relevant technology, which license may not be available on reasonable terms or at all;

• pay damages; or

• redesign those products that use such technology.

Although patent disputes in the semiconductor industry have often been settled through cross-licensing arrangements, we may not be able to settle an alleged patent infringement claim through a cross-licensing arrangement. We have a more limited patent portfolio than many of our competitors. If a successful claim is made against us or any of our customers and a license is not made available to us on commercially reasonable terms, we are restricted in or prevented from selling our products or we are required to pay substantial damages or awards, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially harmed.

If necessary licenses of third-party technology are not available to us or are very expensive, our products could become obsolete.

From time to time, we may be required to license technology from third parties to develop new products or product enhancements. Third-party licenses may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain any third-party license required to develop new products and product enhancements, we may have to obtain substitute technology of lower quality or performance standards or at greater cost, either of which could seriously harm the competitiveness of our products.

41

We rely on licenses to use various technologies that are material to our products. We do not own the patents that underlie these licenses. Our rights to use these technologies and employ the inventions claimed in the licensed patents are subject to our abiding by the terms of the licenses. Under the license agreements we must fulfill confidentiality obligations and pay royalties. If we fail to abide by the terms of the license, we would be unable to sell and market the products under license. In addition, we do not control the prosecution of the patents subject to this license or the strategy for determining when such patents should be enforced. As a result, we are dependent upon our licensor to determine the appropriate strategy for prosecuting and enforcing those patents.

If we are not able to apply our net operating losses against taxable income in future periods, our financial results will be harmed.

Our future net income and cash flow will be affected by our ability to apply our net operating loss carryforwards, or (“NOLs”), against taxable income in future periods. Our NOLs totaled approximately $107.7 million for federal, $35.6 million for state and $109.8 million for foreign tax reporting purposes as of December 31, 2008. The Internal Revenue Code contains a number of provisions that limit the use of NOLs under certain circumstances. Changes in tax laws in the United States or foreign jurisdictions may further limit our ability to utilize our NOLs. Any further limitation on our ability to utilize these respective NOLs could harm our financial condition.

Any acquisitions we make could disrupt our business and severely harm our financial condition.

We have made investments in, and acquisitions of other complementary companies, products and technologies, and we may acquire additional businesses, products or technologies in the future. In the event of any future acquisitions, we could:

• issue stock that would dilute our current stockholders’ percentage ownership;

• incur debt;

• use a significant amount of our cash;

• assume liabilities;

• incur expenses related to the future impairment of goodwill and the amortization of intangible assets; or

• incur other large write-offs immediately or in the future.

Our operation of acquired business will also involve numerous risks, including:

• problems combining the purchased operations, technologies or products;

• acquisition of unproven technologies under development;

• unanticipated costs;

• diversion of management’s attention from our core business;

• adverse effects on existing business relationships with customers;

• risks associated with entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience; and

• potential loss of key employees, particularly those of the purchased organizations.

In June 2008 we acquired Let It Wave, a French company, and its frame rate conversion technology, which is still in development. There is no assurance that we will be able to complete the development of this technology and bring it to market. We may not be able to successfully complete the integration of acquired in-process products, technologies or personnel and any failure to do so could disrupt our business and seriously harm our financial condition.

42

If our goodwill or amortizable intangible assets become impaired we may be required to record a significant charge to earnings.

We review our goodwill and intangible assets for impairment, no less often than annually, when changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. A change in circumstances may be indicated, and the carrying value of our goodwill or intangible assets may be impaired (not be recoverable), where there are declines in our stock price and market capitalization, declines in expected future cash flows, or slower growth rates in our industry. When we performed our annual impairment test in 2008, we determined that goodwill and intangible assets related to our reporting units in the Consumer business segment were impaired and therefore recorded a charge of $167.6 million in 2008 for impairment of goodwill and intangible assets.

If our future financial performance or other events indicate that the value of our recorded goodwill or intangibles is impaired, we may record additional impairment charges that could adversely affect our financial results. In addition, our impairment analysis involves determining the fair value of our business using a projected discounted cash flow analysis that is based on significant estimates, such as our projections of future sales volume and timing, margins and operating costs, and the discount rate we use to calculate present value of future cash flow. Changes to these estimates may cause us to recognize an impairment loss that could be material to our financial results.

If we fail to manage our future growth, if any, our business would be harmed.

We anticipate that our future growth, if any, will require us to recruit and hire a substantial number of new engineering, managerial, sales and marketing personnel. Our ability to manage growth successfully will also require us to expand and improve administrative, operational, management and financial systems and controls. Many of our key operations, including a material portion of our research and development operations and a significant portion of our sales and administrative operations are located in Israel. A majority of our sales and marketing and certain of our research and development and administrative personnel, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and other officers, are based in the United States. The geographic separation of these operations places additional strain on our resources and our ability to manage growth effectively. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, our business will be harmed.

We are exposed to fluctuations in the market values of our portfolio investments and in interest rates.

At the end of June 2009, we had $387.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments. We invest our cash in a variety of financial instruments, consisting principally of investments in commercial paper, money market funds, auction rate securities and highly liquid debt securities of corporations, municipalities and the United States government and its agencies. These investments are denominated in U.S. dollars.

At June 30, 2009, we held auction rate securities (“ARS”) with a par value of $37.3 million. Historically, our ARS were highly liquid, using a Dutch auction process that resets the applicable interest rate at predetermined intervals, typically every 35 days, to provide liquidity at par. However, as a result of liquidity issues in the global credit and capital markets, the auctions for all of our ARS failed beginning in the first quarter of 2008, when sell orders exceeded buy orders. There can be no assurance that we will be able to dispose of our ARS at favorable pricing, or at all.

Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate debt securities may have their market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or if the decline in fair value of our publicly traded equity investments and debt instruments is judged to be other-than-temporary. We may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell securities that decline in market value due to changes in interest rates. However, because any debt securities we hold are classified as “available-for-sale,” generally no gains or losses are recognized due to changes in interest rates unless such securities are sold prior to maturity. Recent events in the subprime mortgage market and with ARS could negatively impact our return on investment for these debt securities and thereby reduce the amount of cash and cash equivalents and long-term investments on our balance sheet.

We rely on the services of our executive officers and other key personnel, whose knowledge of our business and industry would be extremely difficult to replace.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continuing contributions of our senior management. We do not have employment contracts with any of our key employees. Management and other employees may voluntarily terminate their employment with us at any time upon short or no notice. The loss of key personnel could delay product development cycles or otherwise harm our business. We believe that our future success will also depend in large part on our ability to attract, integrate and retain highly-skilled engineering,

managerial, sales and marketing personnel, located in the United States and overseas. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we may not be successful in attracting, integrating and retaining such personnel. Failure to attract, integrate and retain key personnel could harm our ability to carry out our business strategy and compete with other companies.

Provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law could prevent or delay a change in control of Zoran.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. These include provisions:

• prohibiting a merger with a party that has acquired control of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock, such as a party that has completed a successful tender offer, until three years after that party acquired control of 15% of our outstanding common stock;

• authorizing the issuance of up to 3,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock;

• eliminating stockholders’ rights to call a special meeting of stockholders; and

• requiring advance notice of any stockholder nominations of candidates for election to our board of directors and for other stockholder proposals.

Our stock price has fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate widely.

The market price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly since our initial public offering in 1995. Between January 1, 2009 and June 30, 2009, the sale prices of our common stock, as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market, ranged from a low of $5.07 to a high of $11.79. The market price of our common stock may be subject to significant fluctuations in the future in response to a variety of factors, including:

• announcements concerning our business or that of our competitors or customers;

• annual and quarterly variations in our operating results;

• failure to meet our guidance or analyst estimates;

• changes in analysts’ earnings estimates;

• announcements of technological innovations;

• the introduction of new products or changes in product pricing policies by Zoran or its competitors;

• loss of key personnel;

• proprietary rights or other litigation;

• general conditions in the semiconductor industry; and

• developments in the financial markets.

From time to time, the stock market experiences extreme price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices for semiconductor companies or technology companies generally and which have been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies. Broad market fluctuations of this type may reduce the future market price of our common stock.
