NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2005
1. | ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS |
Premier Devices, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on September 30, 1999. The Company designs and produces broadband communication product solutions which support a wide array of applications—including cellular telephones and networks, mobile data applications, wireless local loop, broadband/CATV, wireless local area networks, satellite communications, vehicle sensors, navigation, and radar. The Company’s standard product line includes Transformers, Splitters, Couplers, Mixers, Amplifiers, Oscillators, and Circulators. The Company has design and production centers in San Jose, California; Shanghai, China; and Nuermberg, Germany.
The Company is fully owned by Phillip and Yeechin Liao. The Company has a wholly owned subsidiary in China, Premier Devices Inc. Shanghai (PDS). The Company also wholly owns another subsidiary in Germany, Premier Devices Germany GmbH (PDG), through a Germany holding company, Premier Devices Germany Holding GmbH (PDGH).
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Accounting
The Company uses the accrual method of accounting for financial statements and income tax purposes.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when units are shipped. Drop-ship sales are not recognized as revenue until products are directly shipped to the customers.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in interest rates. The Company considers all money market funds and highly liquid financial instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or shorter at investment date to be cash equivalents.

PREMIER DEVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

DECEMBER 31, 2005
Inventory
The Company values its inventory at lower of cost or market, cost being determined using moving average. Inventory consisted of raw material, work-in-progress, and finished goods. Costs include direct material costs, direct production costs as well as production overheads. Overheads are allocated according to the absorption costing principle.
Property, Equipment and Software
Property, equipment and software are stated at cost. Additions and betterments are capitalized to the property accounts, while maintenance and repairs, which do not enhance the useful lives of the assets, are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method with estimated useful lives of 1 to 14 years. If unusual circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset is below its recorded amount of carrying value, assets are subject to a write-down to reflect an impairment of value.
Management Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The management of the Company extends credit, based on the evaluation of each customer’s financial condition, and generally requires no collateral from its customers. Credit losses, if any, have been provided for in the financial statements and have been generally within management’s expectation.
Research and Development
Expenditures for research activities relating to product development are expensed as incurred. The expenditures consist primarily of professional consulting services, design and development activities, and costs of engineering materials and supplies. Such expenditures amounted to $1,727,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Major Suppliers and Customers
For the year ended December 31, 2005, approximately 76% of the Company’s revenue was from five major customers. The Company had no major suppliers for the year ended December 31, 2005.

PREMIER DEVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2005
Net Income Per Share
The computation of net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2005.
Foreign Currency Adjustment
The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using the foreign subsidiaries’ local currency as the functional currency. Revenues and expenses have been translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Assets and liabilities have been translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date. The resulting translation gains and losses are recorded directly as a separate component of shareholder’s equity. Foreign currency translation resulted in a loss of $415,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations when incurred. Foreign currency transaction resulted in a gain of $8,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Comprehensive Income/(Loss)
Comprehensive income/(loss) is comprised of net income and other comprehensive income/(loss). Other comprehensive income/(loss) includes certain changes in equity that are excluded from net income/(loss), such as, translation adjustments, unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale marketable securities and certain derivative instruments. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the only components in the comprehensive income are the net income and translation adjustments.

Applicable federal and state corporate income tax rates have been applied in the calculation of the deferred tax assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established for any deferred tax assets for which realization is uncertain and it is mainly associated with the net operating loss and tax credits carry forward in the U.S. taxation.

As of December 31, 2005, in the US the Company had federal net operating loss of approximately $636,000 to be carried over to offset future federal income for income tax purposes. The federal net operating loss will expire in year 2023. However, the use of these losses may be severely limited in case of an over 50% ownership change as pursuant to IRC Section 382. Up to December 31, 2005, no ownership change as defined by IRC Section 382 has occurred.
In addition, as of December 31, 2005, the Company has approximately $48,000 and $18,000 in research and development tax credits available to offset future income tax for federal and California income tax purposes, respectively. Federal research credit will expire in 2021 and California credit may be carried over until fully utilized. Similarly, the use of these credits may be limited due to ownership change.

The Company has made no provision for U.S. income taxes on approximately $14 millions of cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries through December 31, 2005 as it is the Company’s intention to permanently reinvest such earnings. If such earnings were distributed, the Company would accrue additional income tax expense of approximately $6 million.
The Company established a 401(k) retirement plan for the US employees. Employees that have completed three months of employment are eligible to participate in the plan. Employees can contribute up to 20% of their salary not to exceed the maximum amount allowed by the tax laws. There is no employer contribution required and no contribution was made for the year ended December 31, 2005.
The Germany subsidiary has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its employees. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s compensation during the five years before retirement. A pension reserve in the amount of $1,642,000 was accrued at December 31, 2005. The reserve amount is based on an actuarial expert’s opinion, who made his calculation using a weighted average assumed discount rate of 4.5%, annual return on plan assets of 4.5%, compensation increase rate of 2.5%, escalation of benefits in payments of 1.5%, and the Heubeck 1998/G2005 mortality tables which are acceptable under Germany pension regulations.
13. | CONTINGENT LIABILITIES |
Due to a series of transactions that the Company entered into during 2004 and 2005 in the restructuring effort, the Company may have incurred additional income tax liabilities. The management is in the process of evaluating the likelihood that these liabilities would be assessed as well as the amount of such liabilities. As of the date of the report, the amount of such contingent liabilities is not determined.
On February 4, 2006, PDI and the sole shareholders of PDI (Phillip and Yeechin Liao), entered into an agreement with Sirenza Microdevices Inc. (“Sirenza”), a NASDAQ listed company, to sell all of their shares in the Company to Sirenza, making the Company a fully owned subsidiary of Sirenza.

PREMIER DEVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003
1. | ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS |
Premier Devices, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on September 30, 1999. The Company designs and produces broadband communication product solutions which support a wide array of applications—including cellular telephones and networks, mobile data applications, wireless local loop, broadband/CATV, wireless local area networks, satellite communications, vehicle sensors, navigation, and radar. The Company’s standard product line includes Transformers, Splitters, Couplers, Mixers, Amplifiers, Oscillators, and Circulators. The Company has design and production centers in San Jose, CA; Shanghai, China; and Nuermberg, Germany.
The Company is 100% owned by Mr. Phil Liao. It has a wholly owned subsidiary in China, Premier Devices Inc. Shanghai (PDS). On June 1, 2004, the Company acquired another wholly owned subsidiary in Germany, Premier Devices Germany GmbH (PDG), through a Germany holding company, Premier Devices Germany Holding GmbH (PDGH).
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Accounting
The Company uses the accrual method of accounting for financial statements and income tax purposes.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. For PDG, only the activities from its acquisition date (June 1, 2004) were included. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when units are shipped. Drop-ship sales are not recognized as revenue until products are directly shipped to the customers.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in interest rates. The Company considers all money market funds and highly liquid financial instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or shorter at investment date to be cash equivalents.
21
PREMIER DEVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003
Inventory
The Company values its inventory at lower of cost or market, cost being determined using moving average. Inventory consisted of raw material, work-in-progress, and finished goods. Costs include direct material costs, direct production costs as well as production overheads. Overheads are allocated according to the absorption costing principle.
Property, Equipment and Software
Property, equipment and software are stated at cost. Additions and betterments are capitalized to the property accounts, while maintenance and repairs, which do not enhance the useful lives of the assets, are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method with estimated useful lives of 1 to 14 years. If unusual circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset is below its recorded amount of carrying value, assets are subject to a write-down to reflect an impairment of value.
Management Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The management of the Company extends credit, based on the evaluation of each customer’s financial condition, and generally requires no collateral from its customers. Credit losses, if any, have been provided for in the financial statements and have been generally within management’s expectation.
Research and Development
Expenditures for research activities relating to product development are charged to expenses as incurred. The expenditures consist primarily of professional consulting services, design and development activities, and costs of engineering materials and supplies. Such expenditures amounted to $104,000 in 2004 and $16,000 in 2003, respectively.
Major Suppliers and Customers
For the year ended December 31, 2003, approximately 76% of the Company’s revenue was from four major customers. 67% of the Company���s purchases were with ten major suppliers. There were no major customers and vendors for the year ended December 31, 2004.
22
PREMIER DEVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003
Net Income/(Loss) Per Share
The computation of net income/(loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.
Foreign Currency Adjustment
The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s foreign subsidiary are measured using the foreign subsidiary’s local currency as the functional currency. Revenues and expenses have been translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Assets and liabilities have been translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date. The resulting translation gains and losses are recorded directly as a separate component of shareholder’s equity. Foreign currency translation resulted in a gain of $460,000 in 2004 and none in 2003.
Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations when incurred. Foreign currency transaction resulted in a loss of $72,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004, and a gain of $10,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Comprehensive Income/(Loss)
Comprehensive income/(loss) is comprised of net income/(loss) and other comprehensive income/(loss). Other comprehensive income/(loss) includes certain changes in equity that are excluded from net income/(loss), such as, translation adjustments, unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale marketable securities and certain derivative instruments.
On June 1, 2004, the Company acquired 100% ownership of a plant located at Nuermberg, Germany from Motorola, Inc., which was incorporated as Premier Devices Germany GmbH (PDG). The results of PDG’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date. PDG is engaged in the development, fabrication and distribution of hybrids, substrates and related products, which is in synergy with the Company’s existing business. The Company expected the acquisition to result in increased production and revenue sources by expanding into additional markets both in product lines and geographic locations.

The Company maintains its cash balances at the banks within the United States of America as well as in foreign countries where its subsidiaries conduct business. The funds in the US are FDIC insured up to $100,000 per bank. As of December 31, 2004, the account balances in the US exceeded the federal depository insurance limit by $306,000. As of December 31, 2003, the account balances in the US exceeded the federal depository insurance limit by $25,000. The subsidiaries’ funds in Germany and China totaled $3,436,000 and $194,000 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, of which $518,000 was pledged to the bank as a security for vendor payment guarantee as of December 31, 2004. The difference between the bank balance and the book balance is due to reconciling items such as outstanding checks and deposit in transit.

If such earnings were distributed, the Company would accrue additional income tax expense of approximately $3 million.
The Company established a 401(k) retirement plan for the US employees. Employees that have completed three months of employment are eligible to participate in the plan. Employees can contribute up to 20% of their salary not to exceed the maximum amount allowed by the tax laws. There is no employer contribution required and no contribution was made for years 2003 and 2004.

The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s compensation during the five years before retirement. A pension reserve in the amount of $1,659,000 was accrued at the end of 2004. The reserve amount is based on an actuarial expert’s opinion, who made his calculation using a weighted average assumed discount rate of 4.75%, compensation increase rate of 2.5%, escalation of benefits in payment of 1.5%, and the mortality tables acceptable under Germany pension regulations.
