NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three and Nine Months Ended January 31, 2008 and 2007

(unaudited)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

Overview

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of January 31, 2008 and April 30, 2007 and for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 have been prepared by OmniVision Technologies, Inc., and its subsidiaries (“OmniVision” or the “Company”) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The amounts as of April 30, 2007 come from the Company’s audited annual financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial position of the Company and its results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007 (the “Form 10-K”).

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2008 or any other future period.

Use of 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 of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on its historical experience, knowledge of current conditions and beliefs of what could occur in the future considering available information. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its consolidated affiliate. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Change-of-Interest Benefit/Impairment

Where an unrelated third party invests in one of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries or affiliates, and the per share value of the investment exceeds the Company’s average per share carrying value in the entity, the Company will record the change-of-interest benefit as “Additional paid-in capital.” If the per share value is less than the Company’s per share carrying value, the Company will assess whether the investment has been impaired.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. For subsidiaries or consolidated affiliates with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense items are translated into U.S. dollars at the average rate of exchange for the period. Unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency translation are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income,” a component of stockholders’ equity. For subsidiaries with the U.S. dollar as the functional currency, and with assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, non-monetary assets are remeasured into U.S. dollars using historical rates of exchange. Monetary assets are remeasured into U.S. dollars using exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Remeasurement gains and losses which are included in “Other income (expense), net,” have not been material in any of the periods presented.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist principally of commercial paper, government bonds, certificates of deposit and money market funds that are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalent balances with major financial institutions in the United States. These balances are subject to a concentration of credit risk and only a small proportion of these balances are covered by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance.

The Company reviews its investments to identify and evaluate investments that may have an indication of possible impairment. Factors the Company considers in determining whether a loss is temporary include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. The Company places its cash investments in instruments that meet high credit quality standards, as specified in the Company’s investment policy guidelines.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis, or market.

The Company records allowances to reduce the carrying value of inventories to their net realizable value when the Company believes that the net realizable value is less than cost. The Company also records allowances for the cost of inventories when the number of units on hand exceeds the number of units that the Company forecasts will be sold over a certain period of time, generally 12 months. The recording of these allowances establishes a new and lower cost basis for each specifically identified inventory item, and the Company does not restore the cost basis to its original level regardless of any subsequent changes in facts or circumstances.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in the equity of a company during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Comprehensive income for the three months ended January 31, 2008 was $22.6 million and included net income, unrealized gains (losses) from available-for-sale securities and foreign currency translation gains (losses) from foreign subsidiaries. Comprehensive income for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 was $52.1 million and included net income, the impact of the initial adoption of FIN 48 on retained earnings, unrealized gains (losses) from available-for-sale securities and foreign currency translation gains (losses) from foreign subsidiaries. Comprehensive income for the three months ended January 31, 2007 was $3.7 million and included net income, unrealized gains (losses) from available-for-sale securities and translation gains (losses) from foreign subsidiaries. Comprehensive income for the nine months ended January 31, 2007 was $25.3 million and included net income, unrealized gains (losses) from available-for-sale securities, change-of-interest benefits and translation gains (losses) from foreign subsidiaries.

Revenue Recognition

For shipments to customers without agreements that allow for returns or credits, principally original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and value added resellers (“VARs”), the Company recognizes revenue using the “sell-in” method. Under this method, the Company recognizes revenue upon the shipment; of products to the customer provided that the Company has received a signed purchase order, the price is fixed or determinable, title and risk of loss has transferred to the customer, collection of resulting receivables is considered reasonably assured, product returns are reasonably estimable, there are no customer acceptance requirements and there are no remaining material obligations. At the time revenue is recognized, the Company provides for future returns of potentially defective product based on historical experience. For cash consideration given to customers for which the Company does not receive a separately identifiable benefit or cannot reasonably estimate fair value, the Company records the amounts as reductions of revenue.

For the Three and Nine Months Ended January 31, 2008 and 2007

(unaudited)

For shipment of products sold to distributors under agreements allowing for returns or credits, title and the risk of ownership to the products transfer to the distributor upon shipment: however, prices are not fixed or determinable until the distributor resells the products to the Company’s end-user customer and the distributor notifies the Company in writing of the details of such sales transactions. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue using the “sell-through” method under which the Company defers the revenue and the related costs of sale until the final resale of such products to end customers. The amounts billed to these distributors less the cost of inventory shipped to, but not yet sold by, the distributors is shown net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Deferred income.”

In addition, the Company recognizes revenue from the performance of services to a limited number of customers by its wholly-owned subsidiary, OmniVision CDM Optics, Inc. (“CDM”), formerly CDM Optics, Inc., and, through December 31, 2006, by its then consolidated affiliate, VisEra Technologies Company, Ltd. (“VisEra”). (See Note 5.) The Company recognizes the CDM-associated revenue under either the completed-contract or the percentage-of-completion methods. The percentage-of-completion method of accounting is used for cost reimbursement-type contracts, where revenues recognized are that portion of the total contract price equal to the ratio of costs expended to date to the anticipated final total costs based on current estimates of the costs to complete the projects. CDM-associated revenue has not been material in any of the periods presented. Until December 31, 2006, the Company recognized VisEra’s service revenue from third party customers when the production services provided by VisEra were complete and the product was shipped to the customer.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for deferred income taxes using the liability method, under which it recognizes as deferred tax assets and liabilities the expected future tax consequences of timing differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company establishes valuation allowances to reduce deferred tax assets as necessary when management estimates, based on available objective evidence, that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets.

On May 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”) which the FASB issued in June 2006. See Note 14 for the impact of FIN 48 on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. FIN 48 requires that the Company recognize in its consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position that, based on the technical merits of the position, is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with this interpretation is a two-step process. In the first step, recognition, the Company determines whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step addresses measurement of a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not criterion. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold will be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold will be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. The differences between the amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements prior to the adoption of FIN 48 and the amounts reported after adoption have been accounted for as a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to the beginning balance of retained earnings.

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective May 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”) which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options and of other stock-based  compensation under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) which was approved by the Company’s stockholders on September 26, 2007, and employee stock purchases under the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2000 Purchase Plan”), to be recognized in the financial statements based on their respective grant date fair values. The 2007 Plan replaced the Company’s 2000 Stock Plan. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25,

(unaudited)

“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations and eliminates the pro forma disclosures of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”). In March 2005, the SEC issued SAB No. 107, “Share-Based Payment” (“SAB 107”), which provides guidance regarding the interaction of SFAS No. 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007 and all subsequent reported periods reflect the impact of adopting SFAS No. 123(R). (See Note 11.)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”), which establishes the principles and requirements for how an acquirer: (1)  recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (2)  recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (3)  determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141(R) is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and the Company is required to adopt it in the first quarter of its fiscal 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 141(R) may have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS No. 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards that require: (1)  the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, and income attributable to those parties, be clearly identified and distinguished in the parent’s consolidated financial statements; and (2)  when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value. SFAS No. 160 is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements” and related interpretations. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and the Company is required to adopt it in the first quarter of its fiscal 2010. Other than re-classifying noncontrolling interests as a component of consolidated stockholders’ equity and identifying earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests as part of consolidated earnings, as required by SFAS No. 160, the Company does not expect the adoption of the standard to have any other material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB finalized SFAS No. 157 which will become effective in 2008 except as amended by FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-1 and FSP FAS 157-2 as described below. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements; however, it does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 will be applied prospectively to fair value measurements and disclosures for financial assets and financial liabilities and nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on at least an annual basis beginning in the first quarter of 2008. The Company does not expect its adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 157 will have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) SFAS No. 157-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Its Related Interpretive Accounting Pronouncements That Address Leasing Transactions,” and FSP SFAS No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157.” FSP SFAS No. 157-1 removes leasing from the scope of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” FSP SFAS No. 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 from 2008 to 2009 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The Company does not expect its adoption of the provisions of FSP SFAS No. 157-1 and FSP SFAS No. 157-2 will have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 5 — Long-term Investments

Long-term investments as of January 31, 2008 and April 30, 2007 consisted of the following (in thousands):

ImPac Technology Co., Ltd.

In 2003, in order to enhance its access to plastic and ceramic packaging services that were in short supply, the Company purchased approximately 27% of the common stock of ImPac Technology Co., Ltd. (“ImPac”), a privately-held company based in Taiwan for a total of $2.0 million in cash. In December 2003, the Company made an additional cash contribution of approximately $0.8 million to maintain its equity ownership percentage in ImPac. Unrelated third parties own the balance of ImPac’s equity. During fiscal 2004, the Company’s equity interest declined to approximately 23% due to additional rounds of financing obtained by ImPac in which the Company did not participate. The Company’s purchases from ImPac are at arm’s length and the Company accounts for this investment using the equity method. The Company recorded an equity loss of $38,000 and $244,000, respectively, in “Other income (expense), net,” as its portion of ImPac’s net loss for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2008. The Company recorded equity income of $32,000 and $379,000, respectively, in “Other income (expense), net,” as its portion of the net income for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2007 recorded by ImPac. (See Note 16.)

VisEra Technologies Company, Ltd.

In August 2005, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Shareholders’ Agreement (the “Amended VisEra Agreement”) with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (“TSMC”), VisEra, and VisEra Holding Company (“VisEra Cayman”). The Amended VisEra Agreement amended and restated the original Shareholders’ Agreement (the “VisEra Agreement”) that the parties entered into on October 29, 2003, pursuant to which the Company and TSMC agreed to form VisEra, a joint venture in Taiwan, for the purposes of providing manufacturing services and automated final testing services related to complementary metal oxide semiconductor, or CMOS, image sensors. In November 2003, pursuant to the terms of the VisEra Agreement, the Company contributed $1.5 million in cash to VisEra and granted a non-exclusive license to certain of its manufacturing and automated final testing technologies and patents. In order to provide greater financial and fiscal flexibility to VisEra, in connection with the Amended VisEra Agreement, the parties formed VisEra Cayman, a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and VisEra became a subsidiary of VisEra Cayman.

Under the terms of the Amended VisEra Agreement, the parties reaffirmed their respective commitments to VisEra, and expanded the scope of and made certain modifications to the VisEra Agreement. The Company and TSMC have equal interests in VisEra Cayman. In the quarter ended October 31, 2005, the Company contributed $7.5 million to VisEra and VisEra Cayman.

As a result of the additional investment that the Company and TSMC made in VisEra during the quarter ended October 31, 2005, the Company’s and TSMC’s interest each increased from 25% to 43%, and consequently the Company re-evaluated its accounting for VisEra in accordance with FIN 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” The Company concluded that, as a result of its step acquisition of VisEra, and because substantially all of the activities of VisEra either involved or were conducted on behalf of the Company, VisEra was a variable interest entity. Since the Company was the source of virtually all of VisEra’s revenues, the Company had a decisive influence over VisEra’s profitability. In the quarter ended January 2006, the Company increased its interest in VisEra from 43% to 46% through purchases of $9.5 million of unissued shares. Accordingly, the Company considered itself to be the

primary beneficiary of VisEra, and included VisEra’s financial results in its consolidated financial statements through December 31, 2006.

In January 2006, in accordance with the Amended VisEra Agreement, VisEra purchased color filter processing equipment and related assets from TSMC for an aggregate price equivalent to $16.9 million. In connection with the purchase, VisEra entered into a three-year lease agreement with TSMC. Under this agreement, VisEra leases from TSMC approximately 14,000 square feet of factory and office space where the assets are located at an annual cost of approximately $2.4 million.

In May 2006, VisEra purchased certain equipment and intellectual property from Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd. (“Dai Nippon”) for approximately $3.1 million. Dai Nippon also made an investment in VisEra Cayman of approximately $4.3 million. Because the per share value of the Dai Nippon investment exceeded the Company’s average per share carrying value in VisEra Cayman, the Company recorded a one-time change-of-interest benefit of $1.2 million directly to “Additional paid-in capital,” a component of stockholders’ equity. In November 2006, the Company invested another $6.1 million in VisEra.

On January 1, 2007, the Company assumed responsibility for logistics management services previously provided to the Company by VisEra. As a consequence of the change, the Company concluded that, as of the date of the change, it would lose its status as the primary beneficiary of the joint venture, VisEra would cease to be VIE as defined under FIN 46(R) and, as a result, the Company deconsolidated VisEra. Accordingly, beginning on January 1, 2007, the Company has accounted for its investment in VisEra under the equity method. The deconsolidation of VisEra did not have a material effect on the Company’s reported revenue or reported net income for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007. In April 2007, pursuant to a January 2007 amendment to the Amended VisEra Agreement that provided for an increase in VisEra’s manufacturing capacity, the Company and TSMC each made an additional investment of $27.0 million in VisEra. This additional investment is part of an ongoing capacity expansion program at VisEra. As of January 31, 2008, the Company and TSMC have agreed to commit a total of $112.9 million to the joint venture, which commitments may be made in the form of cash or asset contributions. Through January 31, 2008, the Company has contributed $51.6 million to VisEra and VisEra Cayman and, as of January 31, 2008, the Company has effectively met its commitment under the terms of this agreement.

All other material terms of the Amended VisEra Agreement remain in effect. (See Note 16.)

China WLCSP Limited

China WLCSP Limited (“WLCSP”) is in the business of designing, manufacturing, packaging and selling certain wafer level chip scale packaging related services, for which the Company is currently a customer. In May 2007, the Company acquired 2,500,000 units of WLCSP’s equity interests from WLCSP at a per unit price of $2.00 for an aggregate purchase amount of $5.0 million. Concurrently, the Company purchased from Infinity-CSVC Venture Capital Enterprise 2,000,000 units of WLCSP’s outstanding equity interests at a price per unit of $2.00 for an aggregate purchase amount of $4.0 million. Following the completion of the two transactions, the Company owns approximately 19.98% of WLCSP’s registered capital on a fully-diluted basis and has appointed a member to WLCSP’s board of directors and a supervisor to monitor the actions of WLCSP’s board of directors and officers.

At the date of the transaction, the Company’s $9.0 million investment in WLCSP exceeded its share of the book value of WLCSP’s assets by $5.7 million. Of this $5.7 million difference, $4.1 million represents equity method goodwill which, in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” and APB Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock” (“APB 18”), the Company will not amortize. The Company will amortize the remaining basis difference of $1.6 million, which is attributable to intangible assets of WLCSP, over an average life of approximately three years.

The Company accounts for its investment in WLCSP under the equity method and, for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2008, recorded equity income of $0.8 million and $0.9 million in “Other income (expense), net,”

consisting of its portion of the net income recorded by WLCSP during the periods, partially offset by an equity method investment adjustment.

XinTec, Inc.

Between October 2005 and March 2006, pursuant to the terms of the Amended VisEra Agreement (as defined above), VisEra Cayman completed the acquisition of approximately 29.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of XinTec, Inc. (“XinTec”), a Taiwan-based supplier of chip-scale packaging services, in which the Company already held an approximate 7.8% interest. Since VisEra was a consolidated entity at the time, the Company’s beneficial interest in XinTec increased to more than 20%. Consequently, beginning in the three months ended October 31, 2005 and through December 31, 2006, the Company accounted for its investment in XinTec under the equity method.

In January 2007, TSMC purchased approximately 90.5 million previously-unissued shares from XinTec. The purchased shares represented approximately a 43.0% ownership interest in XinTec. Other existing shareholders, including the Company and the Company’s affiliate, VisEra, did not purchase additional shares. As a result, the Company’s direct ownership percentage in XinTec declined to approximately 4.4%. VisEra’s ownership interest declined to 16.9%, and the Company’s beneficial ownership percentage in XinTec declined to 12.4%. Consequently, effective January 1, 2007, in accordance with APB 18, the Company began to account for XinTec as a cost method investment. In addition, because the per share value of the TSMC investment exceeded the Company’s average per share carrying value in XinTec, the Company recorded a one-time change-of-interest benefit of $1.2 million directly to “Additional paid-in capital,” a component of stockholders’ equity. For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2007, the Company recorded equity income of $412,000 and $1.7 million, respectively, in “Other income (expense), net,” for its portion of the net income recorded by XinTec.

The following table presents the summary combined financial information of ImPac, VisEra and WLCSP as derived from their financial statements for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (in thousands):

Note 6 — Consolidated Affiliate — Silicon Optronics, Inc.

In May 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with Powerchip Semiconductor Corporation (“PSC”), a Taiwan based company that produces memory chips and provides semiconductor foundry services, to establish a joint venture in Taiwan. The purpose of the joint venture, Silicon Optronics, Inc. (“SOI”), is to conduct manufacturing, marketing and selling of certain of the Company’s legacy products. The Company contributed approximately $2.1 million to SOI in exchange for an ownership percentage of 49.0%. In March 2005, the Company assumed control of the board of directors of SOI and the Company has consolidated SOI since April 30, 2005.

In July 2006, SOI declared a cash dividend of $482,000, of which the Company received $237,000. In July 2006, SOI also issued shares to its employees with an estimated fair value of $459,000, which caused the Company’s ownership percentage to decline from 49.0% to 46.6%.

In April 2007, SOI became listed on the Taiwan GreTai Securities Market, (“TGSM”). The TGSM is the approximate equivalent in Taiwan of the Over-The-Counter market in the United States. In conjunction with the TGSM

listing, various employees of SOI exercised their options and increased the number of shares outstanding, which caused the Company’s ownership percentage to decline to 44.0% as of January 31, 2008.

During the nine months ended January 31, 2008, SOI paid a cash dividend of $409,000, of which the Company received $184,000. In October 2007, SOI issued options to various of its employees exercisable for 600,000 shares of its common stock. (See Note 16.)

Mortgage Loan

On March 16, 2007, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with a domestic bank. The Loan and Security Agreement provides for a term mortgage loan in the principal amount of $27.9 million (the “Mortgage Loan”) and a secured line of credit with an aggregate maximum principal amount of up to $12.0 million (the “Term Loan”). Borrowings under the Mortgage Loan accrue interest at the London Interbank Borrowing Rate (“LIBOR”) rate plus 90 basis points. Borrowings under the Term Loan accrue interest at the LIBOR rate plus 125 basis points. The Mortgage and Term Loans mature on March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2012, respectively.

As of January 31, 2008, $27.6 million was outstanding under the Mortgage Loan. At January 31, 2008, the interest rate under the Mortgage Loan was 4.0%. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the Loan and Security Agreement as of January 31, 2008.

In conjunction with the Mortgage Loan, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with the same bank to convert the variable interest rate described above to a fixed rate. The swap is for a period of ten years, and the notional amount of the swap approximates the principal outstanding under the Mortgage Loan. The Company is the fixed rate payer under the swap and the rate is fixed at 5.27% per annum. The Company remeasures the swap at fair value at each balance sheet date and records it as either an asset or a liability, depending on whether the fair value represents a net gain or net loss. As of January 31, 2008, the Company recorded $2.5 million in “Other long-term liabilities.” For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2008, the Company recorded losses of $1.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in “Other income (expense), net.”

Lines of Credit at SOI

SOI maintains four unsecured lines of credit with three commercial banks, which provide a total of approximately $3.5 million in available credit. All borrowings under these four lines of credit maintained by SOI bear interest at the market interest rate prevailing at the time of borrowing. There are no financial covenant requirements for these facilities and at January 31, 2008, there were no borrowings outstanding under these facilities.

Capital Lease Obligations

In February 2006, the Company leased telecommunications equipment under a three-year capital lease at an imputed interest rate of 7.5% per annum. Terms of the agreement require the Company to make monthly payments of approximately $14,000 through February 2009. Accordingly, the Company recorded a capital asset for $393,000 that is being depreciated over a five-year period in accordance with the Company’s capitalization policy. As of January 31, 2008, $171,000 was outstanding under the capital lease. As of January 31, 2008, $16,000 was classified as a long-term obligation.

Note 9 — Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted net income per share is computed according to the treasury stock method using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares represent the effect of stock options. For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2008, 7,839,000 and 5,459,000 shares, respectively, of common stock subject to outstanding options were not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share because they were antidilutive (i.e., the per share exercise price for such options exceeded the average trading price of the Company’s common stock as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market for the periods presented). For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2007, 10,723,000 and 5,538,000 shares, respectively, of common stock subject to outstanding options were not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share because they were antidilutive.

The Company’s earnings per share were calculated under the provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (or “SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” or SFAS No. 128. SFAS No. 128 requires that the Company take into account the effect on consolidated earnings per share of options, warrants and convertible securities issued by its subsidiaries. The effect on consolidated earnings per share depends on whether the securities issued by the subsidiary enable their holders to obtain common stock of the subsidiary company or common stock of the parent company. Securities issued by a subsidiary that enable their holders to obtain the subsidiary’s common stock are included in computing the subsidiary’s earnings per share data. The diluted per-share earnings of the subsidiary are included in the Company’s consolidated earnings per share computations based on the consolidated group’s holding of the subsidiary’s securities. In June 2006, SOI issued options exercisable for an additional 700,000 shares of its own common stock. Most recently, in October 2007, SOI issued options to various of its employees exercisable for 600,000 shares of its common stock. In the calculation of its earnings per share for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company included the effect of SOI’s options in its consolidated earnings per share.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods indicated (in thousands, except per share data):

Note 11 — Employee Stock Purchase, Equity Incentive and Stock Option Plans

2007 Equity Incentive Plan

In September 2007, on the recommendation of the Company’s board of directors, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”). The 2007 Plan replaced the Company’s 2000 Stock Plan. The Company has reserved 6,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2007 Plan. The 2007 Plan provides for the grant of the following types of incentive awards: (i) stock options; (ii) stock appreciation rights; (iii) restricted stock; (iv) restricted stock units; (v) performance shares and performance units; and (vi) other stock or cash awards. In general, stock option and stock appreciation right awards under the 2007 Plan will be granted at a price not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The 2007 Plan also allows for the grant of full value awards. Through January 31, 2008, the Company had granted stock options for 108,000 shares to employees under the 2007 Plan.

In November 2007, the Company’s board of directors approved the termination of the Company’s 2000 Director Option Plan. The 2007 Plan will also cover all future grants of equity-based compensation to directors.

Valuation Assumptions

SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of stock-based compensation awards on the grant date using an option pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service period in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company measures the fair value of stock-based compensation awards using Black-Scholes consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) and SEC SAB No. 107. Black-Scholes was developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions. These assumptions differ significantly from the characteristics of the Company’s stock-based compensation awards. Black-Scholes also requires the use of highly subjective, complex assumptions, including expected term and the price volatility of the Company’s stock.

The fair value for these options was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The per share weighted average estimated grant date fair value for employee options granted was $9.01 and $7.11 during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2008, respectively. The per share weighted average estimated grant date fair value for employee options granted was $8.32 and $11.44 during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2007, respectively.

The following weighted average assumptions are included in the estimated fair value calculations for stock options granted in the three and nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007:

	Employee Stock Option Plans
	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	January 31,				January 31,
	2008		2007		2008		2007
Risk-free interest rate	3.08	%	4.53	%	4.77	%	4.92	%
Expected term of options (in years)	4.0		4.2		4.0		4.1
Expected volatility	57.0	%	55.0	%	52.5	%	64.3	%
Expected dividend yield	0	%	0	%	0	%	0	%

Using Black-Scholes, the per share weighted average estimated fair value of rights issued pursuant to the Company’s 2000 Purchase Plan during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2008 was $5.62 for both periods. Using Black-Scholes, the per share weighted average estimated fair value of rights issued pursuant to the Company’s 2000 Purchase Plan during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2007 was $6.54 and $7.41, respectively.

The following weighted average assumptions are included in the estimated grant date fair value calculations for rights to purchase stock under the 2000 Purchase Plan:

	Employee Stock Purchase Plan
	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	January 31,				January 31,
	2008		2007		2008		2007
Risk-free interest rate	4.74	%	4.95	%	4.89	%	5.03	%
Expected term of options (in years)	0.5		0.5		0.5		0.5
Expected volatility	39.5	%	46.8	%	45.7	%	52.0	%
Expected dividend yield	0	%	0	%	0	%	0	%

The definitions of the terms used to determine the above values are as follows:

·Expected term: The expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and is estimated based on historical experience.

·Risk-free interest rate: The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the Company’s stock-based awards.

·Expected volatility: Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company determined expected volatility based on an average between the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock and the implied volatility based on the Company’s traded options with lives of six months or more. Averaging two data sources

may provide a better proxy to what market place participants would use to value the Company’s options. Previously, the Company determined expected volatility based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock.

·Dividend yield: The dividend yield assumption reflects the Company’s intention not to pay a cash dividend under its dividend policy.

·Estimated pre-vesting forfeitures: When estimating pre-vesting forfeitures, the Company considers forfeiture behavior based on actual historical information.

Note 12 — Additional Paid-in Capital

The following table shows the amounts recorded to “Additional paid-in capital” for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 (in thousands):

	Additional Paid-in Capital
Balance at May 1, 2007	$	329,012
Exercise of stock options	10,360
Employee stock purchase plan	3,852
Compensation related to stock options	21,628
Tax benefits of disqualified dispositions	2,000
Balance at January 31, 2008	$	366,852

Note 13 — Treasury Stock

In June 2005, the Company’s board of directors authorized the repurchase in an open-market program of up to an aggregate of $100 million of the Company’s common stock. At the time that the program expired in June 2006, and at April 30, 2007, the Company had cumulatively repurchased 5,870,000 shares of its common stock for an aggregate cost of approximately $79.6 million.

In February 2007, the Company’s board of directors approved an additional stock repurchase program that provides for the repurchase of up to $100 million of its outstanding common stock in an open-market program. Subject to applicable securities laws, such repurchases will be at such times and in such amounts as it deems appropriate, based on factors such as market conditions, legal requirements and other corporate considerations. As of January 31, 2008, the Company had cumulatively repurchased 671,000 shares of its common stock under the open-market program for an aggregate cost of approximately $11.4 million.

Note 14 — Income Taxes

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on May 1, 2007. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, the Company increased its net unrecognized tax benefits by $4.3 million, and accounted for the increase as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle by reducing retained earnings by $4.3 million. The Company also recorded a $2.7 million increase in its liability for net unrecognized tax benefits, a $1.3 million decrease in deferred tax assets and a $0.3 million decrease in other receivables. The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption was $70.1 million.

Historically, the Company classified the liability for net unrecognized tax benefits in current income taxes payable. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, the Company reclassified $64.3 million of its liability for net unrecognized tax benefits from current to long-term income taxes payable because the Company does not expect to make cash payments on these liabilities within twelve months of the balance sheet date. The Company’s net unrecognized tax benefits consisted of gross unrecognized tax benefits, reduced by the associated federal tax benefits on state unrecognized tax benefits and interest.

The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits of $70.1 million as of the date of adoption includes $68.8 million that, if recognized, would reduce the Company’s effective income tax rate in future periods; and

$1.3 million related to the federal tax benefit on state unrecognized tax benefits and interest, if recognized. One or more of these unrecognized tax benefits could be subject to a valuation allowance if and when recognized in a future period, which could impact the timing of any related effective tax rate benefit.

The Company’s policy to include interest, penalties and foreign exchange gain or loss related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for income taxes on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income did not change as a result of implementing the provisions of FIN 48. As of the date of adoption, the Company had accrued $5.1 million and $7.4 million for potential interest and penalties, respectively. During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2008, the Company accrued approximately $0.6 million and $2.0 million of interest. As a result of a change in tax law in a foreign jurisdiction during the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company reduced the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits, as well as its accrual for penalties, by $4.5 million.

The Company files U.S. federal, U.S. state, and foreign tax returns. For U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign tax returns, the Company is generally no longer subject to tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2003. Over the next twelve months, the Company does not anticipate any material change to the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits.

Note 15 — Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

The Company maintains a wholly-owned subsidiary in Shanghai, Shanghai OmniVision IC Design Co. Ltd. (“SDC”), which provides assistance to the Company in various product design projects and in marketing and sales support. On January 10, 2007, SDC entered into a Land-Use-Right Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Construction and Transportation Commission of the Pudong New District, Shanghai. The Purchase Agreement has an effective date of December 31, 2006. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to pay an aggregate amount of approximately $0.6 million (the “Purchase Price”) in exchange for the right to use approximately 323,000 square feet of land located in Shanghai for a period of 50 years. In addition, the Company is obligated to invest a minimum of approximately $30.0 million to develop the land and construct facilities, which amount includes the Purchase Price. As of January 31, 2008, the Company has contributed $8.5 million of the $30.0 million total investment. Construction of the facilities on the land must be completed by June 30, 2009, pursuant to contractual agreement, subject to an additional one-year extension under limited circumstances. The Company may use the land solely for the purposes of industrial use and/or scientific research. The Company intends to use SDC’s registered capital to partially fund its commitment to this project.

The Company has various commitments arising from the Amended VisEra Agreement, and the subsequent amendments to it. In particular, as of January 31, 2008, the Company and TSMC have agreed to commit a total of $112.9 million to the joint venture, which commitments may be made in the form of cash or asset contributions. Through January 31, 2008, the Company has contributed $51.6 million to VisEra and VisEra Cayman and, as of January 31, 2008, the Company has effectively met its commitment under the terms of this agreement. Additional contributions may be made by additional investors, additional contributions by the Company and TSMC, or a combination thereof, provided that the Company and TSMC have and will maintain equal interests in VisEra and VisEra Cayman. To the extent, if any, that the value of assets contributed in the future exceeds the value of the Company’s commitment, the Company will receive cash from VisEra Cayman. (See Notes 5 and 16.)

Litigation

From time to time, the Company has been subject to legal proceedings and claims with respect to such matters as patents, product liabilities and other actions arising out of the normal course of business.

On November 29, 2001, a complaint captioned McKee v. OmniVision Technologies, Inc., et. al., Civil Action No. 01 CV 10775, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against OmniVision, some of the Company’s directors and officers, and various underwriters for the Company’s initial public offering. Plaintiffs generally allege that the named defendants violated federal securities laws because the prospectus related to the Company’s offering failed to disclose, and contained false and misleading statements regarding, certain

22

OMNIVISION TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

For the Three and Nine Months Ended January 31, 2008 and 2007

(unaudited)

commissions purported to have been received by the underwriters, and other purported underwriter practices in connection with their allocation of shares in the Company’s offering. The complaint seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of the Company’s common stock between July 14, 2000 and December 6, 2000. Substantially similar actions have been filed concerning the initial public offerings for more than 300 different issuers, and the cases have been coordinated as In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 21 MC 92. Claims against the Company’s directors and officers have been dismissed without prejudice pursuant to a stipulation. On February 19, 2003, the Court issued an order dismissing all claims against the Company except for a claim brought under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933.

In June 2004, the issuer defendants and plaintiffs negotiated a stipulation of settlement for the claims against the issuer defendants, including OmniVision, that was submitted to the Court for approval. In August 2005, the Court preliminarily approved the settlement. In December 2006, the appellate court overturned the certification of classes in the six test cases that were selected by the underwriter defendants and plaintiffs in the coordinated proceedings. Because class certification was a condition of the settlement, it was unlikely that the settlement would receive final court approval. On June 25, 2007, the Court entered an order terminating the proposed settlement based upon a stipulation among the parties to the settlement. On August 14, 2007, plaintiffs filed amended master allegations and amended complaints in the six test cases, which the defendants in those cases have moved to dismiss. Plaintiffs have also moved for class certification in the six test cases, which the defendants in those cases have opposed. It is uncertain whether there will be any revised or future settlement. If the litigation proceeds, the Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to plaintiffs’ claims and intends to defend the action vigorously.

On October 12, 2007, a purported OmniVision shareholder filed a complaint against certain of the Company’s IPO underwriters. The complaint, Vanessa Simmonds v. Bank of America Corporation, et al., Case No. C07-1668, filed in District Court for the Western District of Washington, makes similar allegations to those made in In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation and seeks the recovery of short-swing trading profits under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company is named as a nominal defendant. No recovery is sought from the Company.

On June 10, 2004, the first of several putative class actions was filed against the Company and certain of its present and former directors and officers in federal court in the Northern District of California on behalf of investors who purchased its common stock at various times from February 2003 through June 9, 2004. Those actions were consolidated under the caption In re OmniVision Technologies, Inc., No. C-04-2297-SC, and a consolidated complaint was filed. The consolidated complaint asserted claims on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s common stock between June 11, 2003 and June 9, 2004, and sought unspecified damages. The consolidated complaint generally alleged that defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by allegedly engaging in improper accounting practices that purportedly led to the Company’s financial restatement. On July 29, 2005, the Court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss the complaint. The parties engaged in settlement discussions and, in November 2006, reached an agreement in principle to settle the litigation. The total amount of the settlement was approximately $13.8 million, of which the Company agreed to contribute approximately $0.8 million and the remainder was to be funded by insurance carriers that issued Directors and Officers liability insurance policies to the Company. During fiscal 2007, the Company accrued $3.3 million as its share of the settlement, including unreimbursed defense costs, net of the $13.0 million in recoverable insurance proceeds. The parties executed a Stipulation of Settlement that was filed with the Court on May 15, 2007. On May 25, 2007, the Court issued an Order preliminarily approving the settlement and at a hearing on September 7, 2007, the Court determined that the settlement was fair, reasonable and adequate to the purported class. On December 6, 2007, the Court issued its order granting final approval of the settlement and entered the judgment. The settlement and Court Order are now final and the litigation is concluded.

On February 21, 2008, the Company filed a lawsuit against Qualcomm Incorporated in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleging claims of trademark infringement arising from Qualcomm’s use of, and attempt to register, the mark OMNIVISION for a computer hardware system and related services. The Company seeks an injunction and unspecified damages. The Company had previously filed opposition proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board of the United States Patent and Trademark office against Qualcomm’s applications to register the OMNIVISION mark, and the Company has now moved to suspend those proceedings based upon the

new parallel federal litigation. The Company has not yet served Qualcomm and the Company does not yet know how Qualcomm will respond to the litigation.

Note 16 — Related Party Transactions

In May 2006, the Company consummated a loan agreement with one of its employees. Under the terms of the agreement, which the board of directors approved in fiscal 2004, the Company extended to the employee a three-year $1.0 million loan with an imputed interest rate of approximately five percent per annum which matures on May 12, 2009. The loan is secured by a deed of trust.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with ImPac (see Note 5) under which ImPac agreed to provide certain management and support services to Hua Wei Semiconductor (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. (“HWSC”). The Company compensates ImPac for the services provided in accordance with the Company’s policy regarding related party transactions. The Company’s board of directors approved the agreement, which may be cancelled by either party at any time. During the three months ended January 31, 2007, the Company and ImPac agreed to terminate ImPac’s management and support services and to initiate payment of licensing fees for HWSC’s use of certain software developed by ImPac. During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2008, the Company paid ImPac approximately $29,000 and $119,000 in software licensing fees. In addition, for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2008, the Company paid ImPac approximately $3.8 million and $10.2 million for manufacturing services. During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2007, the Company paid ImPac approximately $182,000 and $647,000 as compensation for management and support services and approximately $33,000 for both periods in software licensing fees.

The Company consolidated VisEra’s operating results from August 1, 2005 to December 31, 2006. Subsequently, the Company has accounted for its investment in VisEra under the equity method. For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2008, the Company paid $21.6 million and $78.3 million to VisEra for color filter and other manufacturing services. For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2007, the Company paid $13.2 million to VisEra for color filter and other manufacturing services.

In May 2007, the Company purchased a 19.98% ownership in WLCSP for $9.0 million. For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2008, the Company paid $6.2 million and $14.2 million to WLCSP for chip scale packaging services.

Overview

We design, develop and market high performance, highly integrated and cost efficient semiconductor image sensor devices. Our main products, image-sensing devices which we refer to by the name CameraChip™ image sensors, capture an image electronically and are used in a number of consumer and commercial mass-market applications. Our CameraChip image sensors are manufactured using the complementary metal oxide semiconductor, or CMOS, fabrication process and are predominantly single-chip solutions that integrate several distinct functions including image capture, image processing, color processing, signal conversion and output of a fully processed image or video stream. We believe that our highly integrated image sensors enable camera device manufacturers to build high quality camera products that are smaller, less complex, more reliable, more cost effective and more power efficient than cameras using traditional charge-coupled devices, or CCDs.

Technology

In August 2004, we announced the introduction of our OmniPixel® technology. In September 2005, we announced the introduction of our OmniPixel2™ architecture. The OmniPixel2 architecture, which is based on a 2.2µ x 2.2µ pixel and uses a 0.13µ process geometry, is less than half the size of the OmniPixel architecture introduced in 2004, but with improved performance.

In February 2007, we introduced our first TrueFocus™ camera with Wavefront Coding™ technology for the mobile handset market. Our patented Wavefront Coding technology is a method of optically encoding light using a special lens to form an intermediate image on the sensor, and decoding this intermediate image with digital processing to create a picture that is in focus across virtually the entire image. TrueFocus technology offers true ‘point-and-shoot’ capability where the entire image is always in focus and always available for instant one-click capture in real time, with no waiting for the lens to focus. TrueFocus technology is designed to provide our customers with a product that effectively targets the mobile handset market by being small, durable, easy to manufacture and cost-competitive.

In May 2007, we announced the introduction of the latest generation of our OmniPixel architecture, our OmniPixel3™ architecture. The OmniPixel3 architecture is based on a 1.75μ x 1.75μ pixel and uses a 0.11μ process geometry which further reduces the size of a given sensor array without any reduction in image quality.

26

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

In February 2008, we announced our new OmniPixel3-HS™ architecture, which incorporates a new pixel design that doubles the sensitivity of our 1.75µm OmniPixel3 architecture. The performance of the new OmniPixel3-HS architecture significantly enhances image capture under very low lighting conditions, and thereby, we believe, allows for a new generation of compact camera solutions for mobile handsets, notebook computers and other applications that require exceptional low-light performance without the need for flash.

Given the rapidly changing nature of our technology, there can be no assurance that we will not encounter delays or other unexpected production or performance issues with future products. During the early stages of production, production yields and gross margins for products based on new technology are typically lower than those of established products.

New Products

In February 2007, we announced the details of the OV7680, a 1/10 inch VGA CameraChip sensor designed for entry-level camera phones, for secondary cameras in 3G handsets, and for integrated notebook PC cameras. The OV7680 sensor incorporates a unique non-linear lens shift technology, which permits a reduction in the height of the camera module to just 3.17mm.

In March 2007, we introduced the OV10620, our first color High Dynamic Range, or HDR, CMOS image sensor for mass market applications. The OV10620 has the capacity to capture widely differing light levels in a single image and to rapidly adjust to changes in light levels, much like the human eye under quickly changing light conditions. The OV10620 rapidly switches to HDR mode to handle extreme variations of bright and dark conditions and automatically switches back to non-HDR mode when conditions return to normal. The single-chip sensor also has a spectral light sensitivity of up to 1,000 nm, which is near infrared sensitivity.

In June 2007, we introduced the OV3640, the first fully integrated 3.2-megapixel CameraChip sensor in a 1/4-inch format. Based on the original 1.75-micron OmniPixel3 architecture, the OV3640 is small enough to fit the standard 8 x 8mm sockets used in 2.0-megapixel camera phones, making it an ideal drop-in upgrade for existing handset designs. The highly integrated OV3640 features a high-speed two-lane mobile industry processor interface, or MIPI, to enable the fast transfer of large blocks of data, which is critical to making effective use of increased camera resolutions. In addition, the sensor incorporates advanced image signal processing and onboard JPEG compression to allow existing baseband processors without MIPI to support a camera upgrade to 3.2 megapixels at 15 frames per second in full resolution. In addition to MIPI, the OV3640 also incorporates advanced image stabilization functionality similar to that used in digital still camera, or DSC, and camcorder products. The OV3640 entered volume production in January 2008.

In June 2007, we announced that we had begun volume shipments of our OV6680 high-performance Square Graphics Array™, camera chip sensor. With its unique 400 x 400 array, low-light sensitivity and small form factor, the OV6680 is intended primarily for use in secondary cameras for the 3G video phone market and for entry-level, ultra-thin camera phone designs. We anticipate significant growth in these markets during the next several years.

In October 2007, we launched the OV2650, our third generation 2-megapixel CameraChip sensor. Powered by OmniPixel3 technology, the OV2650 brings DSC performance to camera phones in a 1/5-inch optical format, with a compact size that allows for an easy upgrade of existing 1.3-megapixel and VGA camera phone designs. The OV2650 combines our proprietary 1.75-micron OmniPixel3 technology with advanced image signal processing, or ISP, to offer best-in-class low-light performance, superb color reproduction, and ultra-low noise. In addition, the OV2650 offers other advanced features, including: advanced image stabilization for easier picture taking; HDR for advanced video functionality; a MIPI interface to ease picture sharing; and a high-end ISP to deliver DSC-like performance.

In October 2007, we announced that the smallest of our family of CMOS imaging devices, the 1/18-inch OV6920 sensor, is a key component of Avantis Medical Systems, Inc. Third Eye™ Retroscope™ auxiliary endoscopy system. The disposable miniature video endoscope has already been cleared by the FDA for commercial distribution in the United States. Its distal tip diameter of just 3.5 mm allows it to fit through the instrument channels of standard-size endoscopes, called colonoscopes, used in colonoscopy. Before the development of the Third Eye Retroscope, endoscopes this small could typically be made only through the use of fiber optic bundles that relay the image to a larger sensor positioned outside the body. Through a strategic partnership with OmniVision, Avantis has succeeded in

27

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

placing a complete imaging system, including miniaturized video sensor, signal processing circuitry and integrated lens elements, right at the tip of the catheter.

In January 2008, we introduced two new products. The first, the OV9710, is OmniVision’s first true high-definition, or HD, video CameraChip sensor for mobile handset and notebook PC markets. The OV9710 is a 1-megapixel CMOS sensor built with OmniVision’s proprietary OmniPixel3 architecture and a 3x3 micron pixel for optimal low-light sensitivity and high-quality HD video performance at 30 frames per second, or FPS. We designed the OV9710 specifically to meet all camera cell phone (1280 x 720) and PC multimedia (1280 x 800) market requirements in terms of performance, quality, reliability and power consumption.

The second new product is the OV7725. The 1/4-inch OV7725 is built with a 6x6 micron pixel to deliver the ultra-high light sensitivity required for the low light conditions in which most consumers use their notebook computers. The OV7725 is a highly integrated CMOS CameraChip sensor that provides the full functionality of a VGA camera and image processor on a single chip. A unique feature of the OV7725 is its high chief ray angle which allows for a reduction in module height, a critical element in building cameras that can fit in today’s thin notebook computers. A second highlight of the OV7725 is its ability to operate at 60 FPS, in VGA mode, or 120 FPS in quarter VGA, or QVGA, for optimal performance in PC multimedia and gaming applications.

In February 2008, we introduced two new products. The first, the OV3642, is a 1/4-inch, 3-megapixel CameraChip sensor with TrueFocus technology embedded on-chip. The fully integrated OV3642 is built with our new OmniPixel3-HS technology and offers best-in-class low light performance.

The second new product is the OV7690, a VGA CameraChip sensor with a 1/13-inch form factor. The OV7690’s new 1.75-micron OmniPixel3-HS architecture combined with a unique, non-linear micro lens shift technology allows for a significant reduction in distance between the sensor and the lens, and thus enables OmniVision to significantly reduce the module height while maintaining the highest levels of image quality and camera performance. The result is an ultra-thin camera module of just 4.5 x 4.5 and a height of only 2.8 mm, a critical dimension both for slim camera phones and for notebook applications where the camera module can be no thicker than the LCD housing.

Joint Venture with TSMC

In October 2003, we entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement, or the VisEra Agreement, with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited, or TSMC, pursuant to which we agreed with TSMC to form VisEra Technologies Company, Ltd., or VisEra, a joint venture in Taiwan. VisEra’s mission is to provide back-end manufacturing services. In connection with the formation of VisEra, both TSMC and we entered into separate nonexclusive license agreements with VisEra pursuant to which each party licenses certain intellectual property to VisEra relating to manufacturing services. The VisEra Agreement also provided that once VisEra had acquired the capability to deliver high quality manufacturing services, we would be committed to direct a substantial portion of our requirements in these areas to VisEra, subject to pricing and technology requirements. Both TSMC and we have also committed not to compete directly or indirectly with VisEra in the provision of certain manufacturing services. Historically, we have relied upon TSMC to provide us with a substantial proportion of our wafers. As a part of the VisEra Agreement, TSMC agreed to commit substantial wafer manufacturing capacity to us in exchange for our commitment to purchase a substantial portion of our wafers from TSMC, subject to pricing and technology requirements.

In August 2005, we entered into an Amended and Restated Shareholders’ Agreement with TSMC, or the Amended VisEra Agreement, under which the parties reaffirmed their respective commitments to VisEra, expanded the scope of and made certain modifications to the VisEra Agreement. Under the Amended VisEra Agreement, the parties agreed to raise the total capital committed to the joint venture from $50.0 million to $68.0 million. The $18.0 million increase was designated principally for the acquisition from unrelated existing shareholders of approximately 29.6% of the issued share capital of XinTec, Inc., or XinTec, of which we directly owned approximately 7.8% at that time. In fiscal 2006, VisEra invested an additional $0.5 million and we invested an additional $130,000 in XinTec as our portion of an additional capital injection to enable XinTec to expand its production capacity. As a result of the increase in our beneficial interest in XinTec due to VisEra’s investment in XinTec during fiscal 2006, we accounted for our investment in XinTec under the equity method. In January 2007, TSMC through the purchase of approximately 90.5 million previously unissued shares, acquired a controlling interest in XinTec. As a result of TSMC’s investment, our ownership

28

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

percentage in XinTec declined from 7.8% to 4.4% and VisEra’s ownership percentage declined from 29.6% to 16.9%. Due to the reduction in our ownership percentage in XinTec and the deconsolidation of VisEra described below, effective January 1, 2007, we began to account for our interest in XinTec under the cost method.

As a result of the additional investment that TSMC and we made in VisEra under the Amended VisEra Agreement, TSMC’s and our interest each increased from 25% to 43%, and consequently we re-evaluated our accounting for VisEra in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), or FIN 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” We concluded that, as a result of our step acquisition of VisEra and because substantially all of the activities of VisEra either involve or are conducted on our behalf, VisEra was a variable interest entity. Since we were the source of virtually all of VisEra’s revenues, we had a decisive influence over VisEra’s profitability. Accordingly, we considered ourselves to be the primary beneficiary of the joint venture, and in the quarter which ended in October 2005, we began to include VisEra’s financial results in our consolidated financial statements. In the quarter ended January 2006, we increased our interest in VisEra from 43% to 46% through purchases of unissued shares. In January 2006, pursuant to the Amended VisEra Agreement, VisEra purchased from TSMC the equipment used for applying color filers and micro-lenses to wafers, and VisEra is now providing the related processing services that we previously purchased from TSMC. In November 2006, we invested $6.1 million in VisEra as our portion of an additional cash or asset contribution to be made by TSMC and us under the then current Amended VisEra Agreement.

Effective January 1, 2007, by mutual agreement, we assumed responsibility for the logistics management services previously provided to us by VisEra. As a consequence, we concluded that we had lost our status as the primary beneficiary of the joint venture and that VisEra had ceased to be a variable interest entity, or VIE, as defined under FIN 46(R). As a result, we deconsolidated VisEra as of the date of the change. As a consequence of the deconsolidation, effective January 1, 2007, we account for our investment in VisEra under the equity method. The deconsolidation of VisEra did not have a material effect on our reported revenue or reported net income for fiscal 2007. See Note 5 — “Long-term Investments” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2007, we and TSMC also signed an amendment to the Amended VisEra Agreement to provide for an increase in VisEra’s manufacturing capacity. Under the amendment, we and TSMC each made an additional $27.0 million investment in VisEra in April 2007. This investment is part of an ongoing capacity expansion program at VisEra. All other material terms of the Amended VisEra Agreement remain in effect.

Joint Venture with PSC

In May 2004, we entered into an agreement with Powerchip Semiconductor Corporation, or PSC, to establish the joint venture called Silicon Optronics, Inc., or SOI. The purpose of SOI is to conduct manufacturing, marketing and selling of certain of our legacy products.

In March 2005, we assumed control of the board of directors of SOI and we have consolidated SOI since April 30, 2005. In July 2006, SOI declared a cash dividend of $482,000, of which we received $237,000 when the cash dividend was paid in August 2006. SOI also issued shares to its employees in July 2006, with an estimated fair value of $459,000 which caused our ownership percentage to decline from 49.0% to 46.6%. In April 2007, SOI became listed on the Taiwan GreTai Securities Market, or TGSM. The TGSM is the approximate equivalent in Taiwan of the Over-The-Counter market in the United States. In conjunction with the TGSM listing, various employees of SOI exercised their options and increased the number of shares outstanding, which caused our ownership percentage to decline to 44.0% as of January 31, 2008.

During the nine months ended January 31, 2008, SOI paid a cash dividend of $409,000, of which we received $184,000. In October 2007, SOI issued options to various of its employees exercisable for 600,000 shares of its common stock. See Note 6 — “Consolidated Affiliate — Silicon Optronics, Inc.” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition of CDM

In April 2005, we completed the acquisition of OmniVision CDM Optics, Inc., or CDM, formerly CDM Optics, Inc., a company located in Boulder, Colorado. CDM is the exclusive licensee from an affiliate of the University of Colorado of a patented technology, known as Wavefront Coding technology that increases the performance of an

29

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

imaging system by substantially increasing the depth of field and/or correcting optical aberrations within the image. We expect that it will significantly reduce the size and complexity of the auto-focus function on future camera modules utilizing OmniVision sensors. Because the image is always in focus, Wavefront Coding technology also eliminates the time-delay inherent in conventional auto or manually focused camera systems. The closing consideration for the acquisition consisted of $10.0 million in cash and approximately 515,000 shares of our common stock. Approximately 147,000 of these shares were retained as security for certain indemnities given by the sellers.

In the three months ended October 31, 2006, we increased “Goodwill” related to our acquisition of CDM by $2.6 million. The increase was related, in part, to a put option that expired during the quarter with respect to the 147,000 shares held in escrow, 145,000 of which were put to us for cash totaling $2.8 million. The other part of the increase related to the value of the initial shares that we issued as part of the CDM acquisition. These shares were also subject to a put option, an option that expired unexercised subsequent to their original issuance. Both amounts should have been recorded as part of the initial acquisition of CDM.

In addition, we are obligated to pay $10.0 million in cash upon the sale, prior to the end of April 2009, of a pre-determined number of revenue-producing products incorporating CDM’s technology.

Capital Resources

As of January 31, 2008, we held approximately $275.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $87.8 million in short-term investments. To mitigate market risk related to short-term investments, we have an investment policy designed to preserve the value of capital and to generate interest income from these investments without material exposure to market fluctuations. Market risk is the potential loss due to the change in value of a financial instrument as a result of changes in interest rates or bond prices. Our policy is to invest in financial instruments with short maturities, limiting interest rate exposure, and to measure performance against comparable benchmarks. We maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments in a variety of securities, including both government and corporate obligations with ratings of A or better and money market funds. We do not believe that the value of our cash and short-term investments will be significantly affected by recent instability in global financial markets.

In June 2005, our board of directors authorized us to use up to $100 million of our available cash in an open-market program to repurchase our common stock. At the expiration of the program in June 2006, we had cumulatively repurchased 5,870,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate cost of approximately $79.6 million.

In February 2007, our board of directors approved an additional stock repurchase program that provides for the repurchase of up to $100 million of our outstanding common stock in an open-market program. Subject to applicable securities laws, such repurchases will be at such times and in such amounts as we deem appropriate, based on factors such as market conditions, legal requirements and other corporate considerations. As of January 31, 2008, we had cumulatively repurchased 671,000 shares of our common stock under the open-market program for an aggregate cost of approximately $11.4 million. See Note 13 — “Treasury Stock” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Current Economic and Market Environment

We operate in a challenging economic environment that has undergone significant changes in technology and in patterns of global trade. We strive to remain a leader in the development and marketing of image sensing devices based on the CMOS fabrication process and have benefited from the growing market demand for and acceptance of this technology.

We sell our products worldwide directly to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, which include branded customers and contract manufacturers, and value added resellers, or VARs, and indirectly through distributors. In order to ensure that we address all available markets for our image sensors, we divide our marketing efforts into two separate groups. The Mainstream Products marketing group addresses the camera cell phone and DSC markets, and the Emerging Products marketing group addresses the notebook and personal computer, security and surveillance, toys and games, automotive and medical markets.

In the camera cell phone market in particular, future revenues depend to a large extent on design wins where, on the basis of an exhaustive evaluation of available products, a particular hand-set maker determines which image sensor

30

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

to design into one or more specific models. There is generally a time lag of between six and nine months between the time of a particular design win and the first shipments of the designated product. Design wins are also an important driver in the many other markets that we address, and in some cases, such as automotive or medical applications, the time lag between a particular design win and first revenue can be longer than one year.

The overwhelming majority of sales of our products depend on decisions by the engineering designers for manufacturers of products that incorporate image sensors to specify one of our products rather than one made by a competitor. In most cases, the decision to specify a particular product requires conforming other specifications of the product to the chosen image sensor and makes subsequent changes both difficult and expensive. Accordingly, the ability to produce and deliver on time reliable products in large quantities is a key competitive differentiator. Since our inception, we have shipped more than 900 million image sensors, including approximately 130 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. We believe that this demonstrates the capabilities of our production system, including our sources of offshore fabrication.

We currently outsource the wafer fabrication and packaging of our image-sensor products to third parties. We outsource the color filter and micro-lens phases of production to a joint venture. This approach allows us to focus our resources on the design, development, marketing and testing of our products and significantly reduces our capital requirements.

To increase and enhance our production capabilities, last year we completed a project with TSMC, our principal wafer supplier and one of the largest wafer fabrication companies in the world, to increase from two to four the number of its fabrication facilities, at which our products can be produced. VisEra, our joint venture with TSMC and our investments in three key back-end packaging suppliers are part of a broad strategy to ensure that we have sufficient back-end capacity for the processing of our image sensors in the various formats required by our customers. In January 2007, we amended our joint venture agreement with TSMC to each invest an additional $27.0 million in VisEra, and VisEra is currently expanding its capacity. Separately, TSMC purchased 90.5 million shares from XinTec to enable XinTec to expand its capacity. In February 2007, we also entered into a foundry manufacturing agreement with PSC.

We currently perform the final testing of the majority of our products at our own facility in China. We are currently expanding our testing capacity, as well as our overall capability to design more custom products for our customers. As necessary, we will make further investments to ensure that we have sufficient production capacity to meet the demands of our customers as part of our ongoing efforts to lower production costs to offset, at least in part, the continuing pressure we experience on prices.

Since our end-user customers market and sell their products worldwide, our revenues by geographic location are not necessarily indicative of the geographic distribution of end-user sales, but rather indicate where the products and/or their components are manufactured or sourced. The revenues we report by geography are based on the country or region in which our customers issue their purchase orders to us.

Many of the products using our image sensors, such as camera cell phones, notebook and personal computers, digital still cameras and cameras for toys and games, are consumer electronics goods. These mass-market camera devices generally have seasonal cycles which historically have caused the sales of our customers to fluctuate quarter-to-quarter. Historically, demand from OEMs and distributors that serve such consumer product markets has been stronger in the second and third quarters of our fiscal year and weaker in the first and fourth quarters of our fiscal year. In addition, since a very large number of the manufacturers who use our products are located in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, the pattern of demand for our image sensors has been increasingly influenced by the timing of the extended lunar or Chinese New Year holiday, a period in which the factories which use our image sensors generally close.

We believe that the market opportunity represented by camera cell phones remains very large. We benefited from the growth in shipments of image sensors, for camera cell phones in fiscal 2007 and in the first nine months of fiscal 2008. Demand increases were particularly strong for our VGA and 2.0-megapixel image sensors.

We also believe that, like the digital still camera market, camera cell phone and notebook and personal computer demand will not only continue to shift toward higher resolutions, but also will increasingly fragment into multiple

31

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

resolution categories. In addition, there is increased demand for customization, and several different interface standards are coming to maturity. All of these trends will require the development of an increasing variety of products.

As the markets for image sensors have grown, we have experienced competition from manufacturers of CMOS and CCD image sensors. Our principal competitors in the market for CMOS image sensors include MagnaChip, Micron, Samsung, Sony, ST Microelectronics and Toshiba. We expect to see continued price competition in the image sensor market for camera cell phones, notebook and personal computers and digital cameras as those markets continue to grow. Although we believe that we currently compete effectively in those markets, our competitive position could be impaired by companies that have greater financial, technical, marketing, manufacturing and distribution resources, broader product lines, better access to large customer bases, greater name recognition, longer operating histories and more established strategic and financial relationships than we do. Such companies may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and customer requirements or devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products. Many of these competitors own and operate their own fabrication facilities, which in certain circumstances may give them the ability to price their products more aggressively than we can or may allow them to respond more rapidly than we can to changing market opportunities.

As a result of the increase in competition and the growth of various consumer-product applications for image sensors, we have experienced a shortening in the life cycle of some image-sensor products. For example, in the security and surveillance market we continue to sell image sensors introduced more than four years ago, whereas in the camera cell phone market, product life cycles can be as short as six months. With the shortening of product life cycles, it will be increasingly difficult to accurately forecast customer demand for our products. As a result, we face the risk of being unable to fulfill customer orders if we underestimate market demand and the risks of excess inventory and product obsolescence if we overestimate market demand for our products. The shortening of product life cycles also increases the importance of having short product development cycles and being accurate in the prediction of market trends in the design of new products. The reduction in product life cycles increases the importance of our continued investment in research and development, which we consider to be critical to our future success.

In common with many other semiconductor products and as a response to competitive pressures, the average selling prices, or ASPs, of image sensor products have declined steadily since their introduction, and we expect ASPs to continue to decline in the future. Accordingly, in order to maintain our gross margins, we and our suppliers have to work continuously to lower our manufacturing costs and increase our production yields, and in order to maintain or grow our revenues, we have to increase the number of units we sell by a large enough amount to offset the effect of declining ASPs. In addition, if we are unable to timely introduce new products that can take advantage of smaller process geometries or new products that incorporate more advanced technology and include more advanced features that can be sold at higher average selling prices, our gross margin will decline.

We have migrated the production of our OmniPixel2 sensors to 0.13µ process geometries, which has enabled us to increase the resolution of our image sensors while decreasing overall chip size. As part of our ongoing efforts to achieve both higher resolutions and smaller chip sizes, we initiated mass production volumes of our OmniPixel3 sensors with 0.11µ process technologies in January 2008. Given the rapidly changing nature of our technology, there can be no assurance that we will not encounter delays or other unexpected yield issues with future products. During the early stages of production, production yields and gross margins for new products are typically lower than those of established products. We can encounter unexpected manufacturing issues, such as the unexpected back-end problems that resulted in low yields on two of our products, the first of which arose in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 and in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. In addition, in preparation for new product introductions, we gradually decrease production of established products. Due to our 12-14 week production cycle, it is extremely difficult to predict precisely how many units of established products we will need. It is also difficult to accurately predict the speed of the ramp of new products. As a result, it is possible that we could suffer from shortages for certain products and build inventories in excess of demand for other products. We carefully consider the risk that our inventories may be excess to expected future demand and record appropriate reserves. If, as sometimes happens, we are subsequently able to sell these reserved products, the sales have little or no associated cost and consequently they have a favorable impact on gross margins.

Sources of Revenues

We generate almost all our revenue by selling our products directly to OEMs and VARs and indirectly through distributors. For accounting purposes, we treat sales to OEMs and VARs as one source of revenue, and sales to distributors as another and our revenue recognition policies for the two groups are different. In general, we sell to our customers on FOB shipping point or FCA terms.

For shipments to customers without agreements that allow for returns or credits, principally OEMs and VARs, we recognize revenue using the “sell-in” method. Under this method, we recognize revenue when title passes to the customer provided that we have received a signed purchase order, the price is fixed or determinable, title and risk of loss has transferred to the customer, collection of resulting receivables is considered reasonably assured, product returns are reasonably estimable, there are no customer acceptance requirements and there are no remaining material obligations. We provide for future returns of potentially defective products based on historical experience at the time we recognize revenue. For cash consideration given to customers for which we do not receive a separately identifiable benefit or cannot reasonably estimate fair value, we record the amounts as reductions of revenue.

For shipment of products sold to distributors under agreements allowing for returns or credits, title and the risk of ownership to the products transfer to the distributor upon shipment; however, prices are not fixed or determinable until the distributor resells the products to our end-user customer and the distributor notifies us in writing of the details of such sales transactions. Accordingly, we recognize revenue using the “sell-through” method under which we defer the revenue and the related costs of sale until the final resale of such products to end customers. The amounts billed to these distributors less the cost of inventory shipped to, but not yet sold by, the distributors is shown net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Deferred income.” Accounting for revenue on the “sell-through” method requires that we obtain sales and inventory information from our distributors. As part of our internal control process, we observe our distributors’ physical counts of their inventories of our products on a regular basis.

In order to determine whether collection is probable, we assess a number of factors, including our past transaction history with the customer and the creditworthiness of the customer. If we determine that collection is not reasonably assured, we defer the recognition of revenue until collection becomes reasonably assured or upon receipt of payment.

In addition, we recognize revenue from the performance of services to a limited number of our customers by our wholly-owned subsidiary, CDM, and, through December 31, 2006, by our then consolidated affiliate, VisEra. We recognize the CDM-associated revenue under either the completed-contract or the percentage-of-completion methods. The percentage-of-completion method of accounting is used for cost reimbursement-type contracts, where revenues recognized are that portion of the total contract price equal to the ratio of costs expended to date to the anticipated final total costs based on current estimates of the costs to complete the projects. CDM-associated revenue has not been material in any of the periods presented. Until December 31, 2006 we recognized VisEra’s service revenue from third-party customers when the production services provided by VisEra were complete and the product was shipped to the customer.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, please refer to the discussion in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007. Other than for policies that are related to the adoption of FASB Interpretation, or FIN, No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” or FIN 48, there have been no material changes in any of our critical accounting policies since April 30, 2007.

Accounting for Income Taxes

We adopted FIN 48 and related guidance on May 1, 2007. See Note 14 — “Income Taxes” to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Under FIN 48, we are required to make certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of tax credits, benefits, and deductions, and in the calculation of certain tax assets and liabilities, which arise from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial statement purposes, as well as the interest and penalties relating to these uncertain tax positions. Significant changes to these estimates may increase or decrease our tax provision in a subsequent period. Similarly, for tax liabilities denominated in a currency other than the

33

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

US dollars, changes in the value of the denominated currency will increase or decrease our tax provision in a subsequent period.

We also have to assess the likelihood that we will be able to realize our deferred tax assets. If realization is not likely, we are required to increase our provision for taxes by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets that we estimate we will not ultimately realize. We believe that we will ultimately realize a substantial majority of the deferred tax assets recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. However, should there be a change in our ability to realize our deferred tax assets, our tax provision would increase in the period in which we determined that it is more likely than not that the benefit of our deferred tax assets will not be realized.

In addition, the calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognize liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on the two-step process prescribed within the interpretation. In the first step, recognition, we determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step addresses measurement of a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not criterion. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Because we are required to determine the probability of various possible outcomes, such estimates are inherently difficult and subjective. We reevaluate these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This re-evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, and changes in tax law. A change in recognition or measurement would result either in the recognition of a tax benefit or in an addition to the tax provision for the period.

Revenues

We derive substantially all of our revenues from the sale of our image-sensor products for use in a wide variety of consumer and commercial mass-market applications including camera cell phones, notebooks and personal computers, security and surveillance cameras, digital still cameras, interactive video and toy cameras and automotive products. Revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2008 increased by 67.4% to approximately $224.9 million from $134.4 million for the three months ended January 31, 2007. The increase in revenues was due to an increase in unit sales of our image-sensor products, primarily for cell phones, notebooks and personal computers, partially offset by a decline in our average selling prices and a less favorable product mix.

Revenues from Sales to OEMs and VARs as Compared to Distributors

We sell our image-sensor products either directly to OEMs and VARs or indirectly through distributors. The following table shows the percentage of revenues from sales to OEMs and VARs and distributors in the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007:

	Three Months Ended
	January 31,
	2008		2007
OEMs and VARs	69.1	%	51.1	%
Distributors	30.9		48.9
Total	100.0	%	100.0	%

OEMs and VARs.   In the three months ended January 31, 2008, one OEM customer accounted for approximately 13.1% of our revenues. For the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, no other OEM or VAR customer accounted for 10% or more of our revenues.

Distributors.   In the three months ended January 31, 2008, one distributor customer accounted for approximately 19.8% of our revenues. In the three months ended January 31, 2007, two distributor customers accounted for approximately 18.4% and 15.9%, respectively, of our revenues. For the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, no other distributor customer accounted for 10% or more of our revenues.

Revenues from Domestic Sales as Compared to Foreign Sales

The following table shows the percentage of our revenues derived from sales of our image-sensor products to domestic customers as compared to foreign customers for the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007:

	Three Months Ended
	January 31,
	2008		2007
Domestic sales	1.5	%	0.2	%
Foreign sales	98.5		99.8
Total	100.0	%	100.0	%

We derive the majority of our foreign sales from customers in Asia and, to a lesser extent, in Europe. Over time, our sales to Asia-Pacific customers have increased primarily as a result of the continuing trend of outsourcing the production of consumer electronics products to Asia-Pacific manufacturers and facilities and to the increasing markets in Asia for consumer products. Because of the preponderance of Asia-Pacific manufacturers and the fact that virtually all products incorporating our image-sensor products are sold globally, we believe that the geographic distribution of our sales does not accurately reflect the geographic distribution of sales into end-user markets of products which incorporate our image sensors.

Gross Profit

Our gross margin in the three months ended January 31, 2008 was 27.1%, up from 24.9% for the three months ended January 31, 2007. The principal contributor to the year-over-year increase in gross margin was reductions in our production costs, partially offset by the decline in our average selling prices. During the three months ended January 31, 2008, the average selling prices of our products were lower than they were in the year-earlier period.  In addition to the price declines which are standard in our industry, the decline in average selling prices was due in part to an increase in the proportion of sales represented by VGA image sensors, and in part also to an increase in the proportion of sales represented by bare die rather than packaged products. We were able to partially offset the decline in average selling prices by reducing our manufacturing costs. In the three-month periods ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), we recorded approximately $0.9 million and $1.0 million in stock compensation expense to cost of revenues, representing approximately 0.4% and 0.7% of revenues, respectively.

Revenue from sales of previously reserved products in the three months ended January 31, 2008 was $1.9 million, as compared to $3.8 million during the same period in the prior fiscal year. In the three months ended January 31, 2008,

35

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

we recorded an allowance for excess and obsolete inventory totaling $5.5 million to cost of revenues as compared to $3.4 million during the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Research, Development and Related Expenses

Research, development and related expenses consist primarily of compensation and personnel-related expenses, non-recurring engineering costs related principally to the costs of the masks we buy when we release new product designs to the manufacturing foundry, costs for purchased materials, designs, tooling, depreciation of computers and workstations, and amortization of acquired intangible intellectual property and computer aided design software. Because the number of new designs we release to the foundry can fluctuate from period to period, research, development and related expenses may fluctuate significantly. Research, development and related expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2008 increased to approximately $20.1 million from approximately $16.5 million for the three months ended January 31, 2007. As a percentage of revenues, research, development and related expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 represented 9.0% and 12.3%, respectively.

The increase in research, development and related expenses of approximately $3.6 million, or 21.8%, for the three months ended January 31, 2008 from the similar period in the prior year resulted primarily from a $1.8 million increase in salary and payroll-related expenses associated with salary increases and the hiring of additional personnel, a $0.6 million increase in stock-based compensation expense recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), a $0.6 million increase in legal expense primarily related to patent registration activities, a $453,000 increase in office and facility expenses and a $259,000 increase in depreciation and amortization expenses of acquired intangible assets, partially offset by a $74,000 reduction in non-recurring engineering expenses related to new product development. We anticipate that our research, development and related expenses will continue to increase as we develop and introduce new products employing our OmniPixel3, OmniPixel3-HS and Wavefront Coding technologies and develop other new technologies related to image sensors.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and personnel related expenses, commissions paid to distributors and manufacturers’ representatives and insurance and legal expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2008 decreased to approximately $15.6 million from $16.6 million the three months ended January 31, 2007. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 represented 6.9% and 12.4%, respectively.

The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.1 million, or 6.4%, for the three months ended January 31, 2008 from the similar period in the prior year resulted primarily from a $0.5 million reduction in stock-based compensation expense recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), a $447,000 decrease in legal and accounting expenses, a $252,000 decrease in provisions for bad debts, a $201,000 decrease in commissions paid primarily to distributors and sales representatives, a $176,000 decrease in facility expenses, a $175,000 decrease in marketing expenses and a $151,000 decrease in fees for outside services, partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in salary and payroll-related expenses associated with salary increases and the hiring of additional personnel. We anticipate that our selling, general and administrative expenses will increase in the future due to the continued expansion of our organization and the continuing upgrade of our computer systems, including our enterprise resource planning, or ERP, and other management information systems.

Interest Income, Net

We invest our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in interest-bearing accounts consisting primarily of money market funds, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, high-grade corporate securities and government bonds. Interest income declined to approximately $3.4 million for the three months ended January 31, 2008 from $4.2 million for the three months ended January 31, 2007. The reduction in interest income for the three months ended January 31, 2008 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was the result of lower interest rates.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net, for the three months ended January 31, 2008 totaled $1.0 million in net expenses. The current quarter amount included a $1.8 million non-cash charge arising from the revaluation of the interest rate

36

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

swap related to the mortgage on our Santa Clara property and a $38,000 loss that represented our portion of the net loss recorded by ImPac Technology Co., Ltd., or ImPac, which we account for under the equity method of accounting. These losses were partially offset by a $0.8 million gain consisting of our portion of the net income recorded by China WLCSP Limited, or WLCSP, which we also account for under the equity method of accounting. Other income (expense), net, for the three months ended January 31, 2007 was expense of $0.8 million. This amount included a gain of $412,000, which represented our portion of the income recorded by XinTec in the months of November and December 2006, the final months for which we accounted for XinTec under the equity method of accounting prior to our reversion to the cost method beginning on January 1, 2007. In addition, other income (expense), net, for the three months ended January 31, 2007 included a gain of $32,000 as our portion of the income recorded by ImPac, which we account for under the equity method of accounting. Offsetting these items during the three months ended January 31, 2007 was a $1.3 million contra-income item, which reflected residual income attributable to the 54.6% interest in VisEra that we do not own. Prior to the deconsolidation, income attributable to the equity interest that we do not own was recorded to minority interest expense. The income was earned through our sale of inventory purchased from VisEra prior to January 1, 2007, the effective date of the deconsolidation.

Provision for Income Taxes

We generated approximately $27.7 million and $3.8 million in income before income taxes and minority interest for the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We recorded a provision for income taxes for the three months ended January 31, 2008 of approximately $5.1 million and an income tax benefit of approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended January 31, 2007. For the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, our effective tax rates were 18.6% and (35.4)%, respectively. In both years, our effective tax rates are less than the combined federal and state statutory rate of approximately 40% principally because we earn a significant portion of our income in jurisdictions where tax rates are lower than the combined federal and state statutory rate. We expect that our consolidated effective tax rate in fiscal 2008 will continue to be less than the combined federal and state statutory rates. The extent of the difference is principally contingent upon the geographic mix of our total pre-tax income. We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on May 1, 2007. The effect of adoption of FIN 48 on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of May 1, 2007 is summarized in Note 14 — “Income Taxes” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Minority Interest

Minority interest for the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 was $50,000 and $1.0 million, respectively. For the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, $50,000 and $73,000, respectively, represents the 56.0% interest that we do not own in the net income of SOI. For the three months ended January 31, 2007, approximately $0.9 million represents the 54.4% interest that we did not own in the net income of VisEra. Because we deconsolidated VisEra effective January 1, 2007, we did not record any minority interest expense in VisEra for the three months ended January 31, 2008.

Nine Months Ended January 31, 2008 as Compared to Nine Months Ended January 31, 2007

Revenues

Revenues for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 increased by 54.2% to approximately $630.7 million from $408.9 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2007. The increase in revenues was due to an increase in unit sales of our image-sensor products, primarily for cell phones, notebooks and personal computers, and a more favorable product mix offset, in part, by a decline in our average selling prices.

Revenues from Sales to OEMs and VARs as Compared to Distributors

We sell our image-sensor products either directly to OEMs and VARs or indirectly through distributors. The following table shows the percentage of revenues from sales to OEMs and VARs and distributors in the nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007:

	Nine Months Ended

Total	100.0	%	100.0	%

OEMs and VARs.   In the nine months ended January 31, 2008, one OEM customer accounted for approximately 15.5% of our revenues. In the nine months ended January 31, 2007, one OEM customer accounted for approximately 13.6% of our revenues. For the nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, no other OEM or VAR customer accounted for 10% or more of our revenues.

Distributors.   In the nine months ended January 31, 2008, one distributor customer accounted for approximately 20.5% of our revenues. In the nine months ended January 31, 2007, two distributor customers accounted for approximately 14.6% and 12.4% of our revenues, respectively. For the nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, no other distributor customer accounted for 10% or more of our revenues.

Revenues from Domestic Sales as Compared to Foreign Sales

The following table shows the percentage of our revenues derived from sales of our image-sensor products to domestic customers as compared to foreign customers for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007:

	Nine Months Ended

	2008		2007
Domestic sales	1.1	%	1.0	%
Foreign sales	98.9		99.0
Total	100.0	%	100.0	%

We derive the majority of our foreign sales from customers in Asia and, to a lesser extent, in Europe. Over time, our sales to Asia-Pacific customers have increased primarily as a result of the continuing trend of outsourcing the production of consumer electronics products to Asia-Pacific manufacturers and facilities and to the increasing markets in Asia for consumer products. Because of the preponderance of Asia-Pacific manufacturers and the fact that virtually all products incorporating our image-sensor products are sold globally, we believe that the geographic distribution of our sales does not accurately reflect the geographic distribution of sales into end-user markets of products which incorporate our image sensors.

Gross Profit

Our gross margin in the nine months ended January 31, 2008 was 25.4%, down from 31.5% for the nine months ended January 31, 2007. The principal contributor to the year-over-year decline in gross margin was the decline in our average selling prices, together with an increase in the proportion of our sales represented by VGA image sensors, partially offset by reductions in our production costs. In both the nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), we recorded approximately $2.9 million in stock-based compensation expense to cost of revenues, or 0.5% and 0.7% of revenues, respectively.

Revenue from sales of previously reserved products in the nine months ended January 31, 2008 was $5.3 million, as compared to $10.8 million during the same period in the prior fiscal year. In the nine months ended January 31, 2008, we recorded an allowance for excess and obsolete inventory totaling $17.9 million to cost of revenues as compared to $5.8 million during the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Research, Development and Related Expenses

Research, development and related expenses for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 increased to approximately $57.7 million from approximately $52.0 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2007. As a percentage of revenues, research and development expenses for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 represented 9.1% and 12.7%, respectively.

The increase in research, development and related expenses of approximately $5.7 million, or 11.0%, for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 from the similar period in the prior year resulted primarily from a $4.9 million increase in salary and payroll-related expenses associated with salary increases and the hiring of additional personnel, a $1.1 million increase in office and facility expenses, a $0.7 million increase in depreciation and amortization expenses of acquired intangible assets and a $0.7 million increase in legal expenses, partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in non-recurring engineering expenses related to new product development, a $379,000 reduction in stock-based compensation expense recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) and a $342,000 decrease in software expenses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 increased to approximately $46.5 million from $44.9 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2007. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 represented 7.4% and 11.0%, respectively.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.7 million, or 3.7%, for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 from the similar period in the prior year resulted primarily from a $3.1 million increase in salary and payroll-related expenses associated with salary increases and the hiring of additional personnel, a $1.2 million increase in legal and accounting expenses due primarily to an increase in legal fees, a $479,000 increase in property and other taxes and a $211,000 increase in insurance expense, partially offset by a $0.8 million reduction in stock-based compensation expense recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), a $0.7 million decrease in fees for outside services, a $0.6 million decrease in facility expenses, and a $0.6 million decrease in commissions paid primarily to distributors and sales representatives.

Litigation Settlement

We accrued $3.3 million in litigation settlement expenses for the nine months ended January 31, 2007, to reflect our share of the settlement of the securities class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. Litigation settlement expenses for the nine months ended January 31, 2007 represented 0.8% of revenue, and the litigation is now concluded. (See “Note 15 — Commitments and Contingencies” of the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.)

Interest Income, Net

Interest income for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 decreased slightly to approximately $10.1 million from $11.0 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2007. The reduction in interest income for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was the result of lower interest rates.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net, for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 totaled $1.1 million in expenses. The amount included a non-cash $2.0 million charge arising from the revaluation of the interest rate swap related to the mortgage on our Santa Clara property and a $244,000 loss for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 as our portion of the net loss recorded by ImPac which we account for under the equity method of accounting. These losses were partially offset by a $0.9 million gain consisting of our portion of the net income recorded by WLCSP, which we also account for under the equity method of accounting. Other income (expense), net, for the nine months ended January 31, 2007 was income of $0.9 million and consisted of $1.7 million representing our portion of the income recorded by XinTec and $379,000 representing our portion of the income recorded by ImPac.

Provision for Income Taxes

We generated approximately $64.9 million and $40.4 million in income before income taxes and minority interest for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We recorded provisions for income taxes for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 of approximately $8.9 million and $9.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, our effective tax rates were 13.8% and 22.7%, respectively. Year-to-date income taxes reflect our estimate of the effective tax rate for the fiscal year and include, when applicable, the impact of discrete tax items. The lower effective tax rate for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 as compared to the nine months ended January 31, 2007 is principally due to the favorable impact of the change in the expected geographical mix of income and the benefit recorded in the three months ended July 31, 2007 attributable to the release of unrecognized tax benefits including interest and penalties that were no longer required as a result of a change in tax law in a foreign jurisdiction in which we do business. In both years, our effective tax rates are less than the combined federal and state statutory rate of approximately 40% principally because we earn a significant portion of our income in jurisdictions where tax rates are lower than the combined federal and state statutory rate. We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on May 1, 2007. The effect of adoption of FIN 48 on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of May 1, 2007 is summarized in Note 14 — “Income Taxes” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Minority Interest

Minority interest for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 was $56,000 and $5.8 million, respectively. For the nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, approximately $56,000 and $342,000, respectively, represents the approximately 56.0% interest that we do not own in the net income of SOI which we included in our consolidated operating results. For the nine months ended January 31, 2007, approximately $5.5 million represents the 57% interest that we did not own in the net income of VisEra. Because we deconsolidated VisEra effective January 1, 2007, we did not record any minority interest expense in VisEra for the nine months ended January 31, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity at January 31, 2008 consisted of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $363.3 million.

Liquidity

Our working capital increased by approximately $113.6 million to $470.6 million as of January 31, 2008 from $357.0 million as of April 30, 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to: an $84.6 million increase in cash and cash equivalents primarily due to cash provided by operating activities; a $56.0 million decrease in income taxes payable primarily due to the reclassification of $64.3 million of liability for net unrecognized tax benefits from current to long-term income taxes payable as a result of the adoption of FIN 48; a $25.9 million increase in accounts receivable, net, consistent with the increase in revenues from prior year levels; a $13.8 million decrease in a litigation settlement accrual and a $2.0 million increase in inventories. These increases in working capital were partially offset by: a $28.8 million increase in accounts payable primarily resulting from increased inventory purchases; a $26.6 million decrease in short-term investments; and a $13.0 million decrease in recoverable insurance proceeds.

SOI maintains four unsecured lines of credit with three commercial banks, which provide a total of approximately $3.5 million in available credit. All borrowings under the four lines of credit maintained by SOI bear interest at the market interest rate prevailing at the time of borrowing. There are no financial covenant requirements for these facilities and at January 31, 2008, there were no borrowings outstanding under these facilities.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

For the nine months ended January 31, 2008, net cash provided by operating activities totaled approximately $84.2 million as compared to $39.0 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. The principal components of the current year amount were: net income of approximately $56.0 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2008, adjusted for non-cash charges of $21.6 million in stock-based compensation, $17.9 million in write-down of inventories, $9.8 million in depreciation and amortization and $6.7 million of gains in equity investments; a $20.5 million increase in accounts payable; a $14.1 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets; a $9.0 million increase in income taxes payable and a $1.3 million increase in deferred income. These increases were partially offset by: a $25.9 million increase in accounts receivable, net; a $20.7 million increase in inventories; a

40

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

$12.7 million decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities; and a $2.0 million decrease in deferred tax liabilities. The $25.9 million increase in accounts receivable, net, reflects the higher level of revenues during the nine months ended January 31, 2008, partially offset by an improvement in days of sales outstanding as of January 31, 2008 to 37 days from 49 days as of April 30, 2007. The $20.7 million increase in inventories was a reflection of increased sales in fiscal 2008. The inventory balances increased concurrently with an improvement in annualized inventory turns to 5.4 as of January 31, 2008 from 3.1 as of April 30, 2007. The $14.1 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets was principally due to the final settlement of the class action litigation and the consequent removal of the associated recoverable insurance proceeds from the balance sheet and the reclassification of a deposit paid for land from other current assets to property, plant and equipment upon transfer of title.

For the nine months ended January 31, 2007, net cash provided by operating activities totaled approximately $39.0 million. The principal components of the current year amount were: net income of approximately $25.4 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2007, adjusted for non-cash charges of $22.9 million in stock-based compensation, $10.5 million in depreciation and amortization, $5.8 million in the minority interest in the net income of consolidated affiliates, $5.8 million in write-down of inventories and $3.2 million of gains in equity investments; a $29.9 million increase in accounts payable; a $13.8 million increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities; an $12.3 million increase in accrued income taxes payable and a $2.7 million increase in deferred tax liabilities. These increases were partially offset by: a $56.7 million increase in inventories; a $14.7 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets; a $7.6 million increase in accounts receivable, net and a $9.0 million increase in refundable and deferred income taxes. The $14.7 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets principally reflect $13.0 million in recoverable insurance proceeds associated with the settlement of security class-action litigation. The $13.8 million increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities resulted from a litigation settlement accrual associated with the settlement of security class-action litigation. The $7.6 million increase in accounts receivable, net, reflects the higher level of revenues during the nine months ended January 31, 2007, and the increase in days of sales outstanding as of January 31, 2007 to 50 days from 45 days as of April 30, 2006. The $56.7 million increase in inventories was principally the result of a change in the mix of product demand late in the second quarter which precluded wafer production schedule adjustments. The increase in inventory balances resulted in a decline in annualized inventory turns to 3.8 as of January 31, 2007. Our accrued income taxes payable increased as a consequence of additional provisions for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2007.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

For the nine months ended January 31, 2008, our cash used in investing activities decreased to $2.6 million as compared to approximately $90.6 million for the corresponding period in the prior year, due primarily to: $21.5 million in purchases of property, plant and equipment and $9.0 million in a long-term investment in WLCSP, partially offset by $27.9 million in net sales of short-term investments. For the nine months ended January 31, 2007, our cash used in investing activities totaled $90.6 million due to: $41.0 million in purchases of property, plant and equipment; $28.4 million in net purchases of short-term investments; $20.6 million resulting from the deconsolidation of VisEra and $0.5 million in purchase of intangible property.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

For the nine months ended January 31, 2008, net cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $3.0 million as compared to $20.8 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. This change was primarily due to $14.2 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and employee purchases through our employee stock purchase plan partially offset by $11.5 million in repurchases of shares of our common stock under the open-market program in the nine months ended January 31, 2008. For the nine months ended January 31, 2007, net cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $20.8 million due principally to $10.5 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and employee purchases through our employee stock purchase plan and a $10.4 million cash contribution by two of our minority interest shareholders.

Capital Commitments and Resources

Over the next two years, we expect to invest a total of $30.0 million in our wholly-owned subsidiary in Shanghai, Shanghai OmniVision IC Design Co. Ltd., or SDC, of which we have already contributed $8.5 million. The funding requirement arises from our execution of a Land-Use-Right Purchase Agreement with the Construction and Transportation Commission of the Pudong New District, Shanghai with a concomitant commitment to spend

41

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

approximately $30.0 million to develop the land. See Note 15 — “Commitments and Contingencies” to our condensed consolidated financial statements. We expect to fund our capital commitments to SDC from our available working capital.

In February 2007, our board of directors approved an additional stock repurchase program that provides for the repurchase of up to $100 million of our outstanding common stock in an open-market program. Subject to applicable securities laws, such repurchases will be at such times and in such amounts as we deem appropriate, based on factors such as market conditions, legal requirements and other corporate considerations. As of January 31, 2008, we had cumulatively repurchased 671,000 shares of our common stock under the open-market program for an aggregate cost of approximately $11.4 million. See Note 13 — “Treasury Stock” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

We are obligated to pay an additional $10.0 million in cash upon the sale of a pre-determined number of revenue-producing products incorporating CDM’s technology. CDM and the costs associated with the acquisition are included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets at January 31, 2008 and April 30, 2007.

We currently expect our available cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, together with cash that we anticipate generating from operating activities, will be sufficient to satisfy our capital requirements over approximately the next twelve months. Other than normal working capital requirements, we expect our capital requirements totaling approximately $70 million over approximately the next twelve months will consist primarily of funding capital investment at Hua Wei Semiconductor (Shanghai) Co. Ltd., or HWSC, funding a portion of the acquisition and build-out costs associated with the purchase of a complex of four buildings in Santa Clara, and funding a portion of the development costs of the land we have leased in Shanghai.

We are now required to disclose our unrecognized tax benefits as commitments in accordance with FIN 48. The non-current portion of our unrecognized tax benefits at January 31, 2008 was $69.3 million, of which the timing of the resolution is uncertain.

Our ability to generate cash from operations is subject to substantial risks described below under the caption Part II Item 1A. “Risk Factors.” We encourage you to review these risks carefully.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of January 31, 2008 and the effect such obligations and commitments are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods (in thousands):

(1)	In March 2007, we entered into a mortgage loan with a domestic bank in the amount of $27.9 million. See Note 8 —“Borrowing Arrangements” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
(2)	Over the next two years, we expect to invest a total of approximately $30.0 million in our subsidiary, SDC, of which we have already invested $8.5 million. SDC will use the funds to develop land and construct facilities for its use. See Note 15 —“Commitments and Contingencies” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of January 31, 2008, the long-term income taxes payable under FIN 48 was $69.3 million. We are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of payments in individual years beyond twelve months due to uncertainties in the timing of tax audit outcomes. Accordingly, we have excluded this obligation from the schedule summarizing our significant obligations to make future payments under contractual obligations as of January 31, 2008 presented above.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations,” or SFAS No. 141(R), which establishes the principles and requirements for how an acquirer: (1)  recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (2)  recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (3)  determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141(R) is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and we are required to adopt it in the first quarter of our fiscal 2010. We are currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 141(R) may have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,” or SFAS No. 160, which establishes accounting and reporting standards that require: (1)  the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, and income attributable to those parties, be clearly identified and distinguished in the parent’s consolidated financial statements; and (2)  when a subsidiary is

43

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

deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value. SFAS No. 160 is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements” and related interpretations. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and we are required to adopt it in the first quarter of our fiscal 2010. Other than re-classifying noncontrolling interests as a component of consolidated stockholders’ equity and identifying earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests as part of consolidated earnings, as required by SFAS No. 160, we do not expect the adoption of the standard to have any other material impact on the our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB finalized SFAS No. 157 which will become effective in 2008 except as amended by FASB Staff Position, or FSP, FAS 157-1 and FSP FAS 157-2 as described below. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements; however, it does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 will be applied prospectively to fair value measurements and disclosures for financial assets and financial liabilities and nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on at least an annual basis beginning in the first quarter of 2008. We do not expect our adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 157 will have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position, or FSP, SFAS 157-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Its Related Interpretive Accounting Pronouncements That Address Leasing Transactions,” and FSP SFAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157.” FSP SFAS 157-1 removes leasing from the scope of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” FSP SFAS 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 from 2008 to 2009 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). We do not expect our adoption of the provisions of FSP SFAS No. 157-1 and FSP SFAS No. 157-2 will have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

44

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We sell our products globally, in particular to branded customers, contract manufacturers, VARs and distributors in China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan.

The great majority of our transactions with our customers and vendors are denominated in U.S. dollars. The expenses we incur in currencies other than U.S. dollars affect gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses, research, development and related expenses and income taxes, and are primarily incurred in China, where the Chinese Yuan, or CNY, is the local currency and in Taiwan, where the New Taiwan dollar is the local currency.

As of January 31, 2008, the functional currency of our wholly-owned subsidiaries located in Hong Kong, OmniVision Technologies (Hong Kong) Company Limited and OmniVision Trading (Hong Kong) Company Ltd., in the Cayman Islands, OmniVision International Holding, Ltd. and OmniVision Technology International Ltd. (formerly HuaWei Technology International, Ltd.), and in China, Hua Wei Semiconductor (Shanghai) Co. Ltd., or HWSC, and SDC, is the U.S. dollar. Our other wholly-owned subsidiaries have their respective local currencies as their functional currencies. The functional currency of our consolidated affiliate, SOI, is the New Taiwan dollar. Transaction gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in currencies other than the respective functional currencies are included in “Other income (expense), net” for the periods presented. The amounts of transaction gains and losses for the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 were not material.

Given that the expenses that we incur in currencies other than U.S. dollars have not been a significant percentage of our revenues, we do not believe that our foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation risk is significant. Consequently, we do not believe that a 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates would have a significant effect on our future net income or cash flows.

Because we do not believe that we currently have any significant direct foreign currency exchange rate risk, we have not hedged exposures denominated in foreign currencies or used any other derivative financial instruments. Although we transact the overwhelming majority of our business in U.S. dollars, future fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar may affect the competitiveness of our products and thus may impact our results of operations.

Market Interest Rate Risk

Our cash equivalents and short-term investments are exposed to financial market risk due to fluctuation in interest rates, which may affect our interest income and, from time to time, the fair market value of our investments. We manage our exposure to financial market risk by performing ongoing evaluations of our investment portfolio. We presently invest in money market funds, certificates of deposit issued by banks, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, high-grade corporate securities and government bonds maturing approximately 18 months or less from the date of purchase. In the past, we also invested in auction rate securities which have a final maturity date of up to thirty years but whose interest rate is reset principally up to every 35 days, and in variable rate demand notes, which have a final maturity date of up to thirty-nine years but whose interest rate is reset at varying intervals typically between seven and 35 days. As of January 31, 2008, we did not hold any auction rate securities or variable rate demand notes.

Due to the short maturities of our investments, the carrying value should approximate the fair market value. In addition, we do not use our investments for trading or other speculative purposes. Due to the short duration of our investment portfolio, we do not expect that an immediate 10% change in interest rates would have a material effect on the fair market value of our portfolio. Therefore, we would not expect our operating results or cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by the effect of a sudden change in market interest rates. We do not believe that the recent instability in global financial markets has significantly affected the value of our cash and short-term investments.

During fiscal 2007, we financed the purchase of a four-building complex in Santa Clara, California with a $27.9 million mortgage loan. The mortgage loan is a variable rate loan which bears interest at LIBOR plus 90 basis points and changes in the interest rate affect our interest payments. However, concurrent with the mortgage loan, we also entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount that approximates the principal outstanding under the mortgage loan. We are the fixed rate payer under the swap with a fixed rate of 5.27%. Consequently, although we are required to mark the value of the swap to market at each balance sheet date and record the associated non-cash cost or

45

benefit as part of Other income (expense), net, a hypothetical 10% change in LIBOR would not have a material effect on our annual interest expense.

ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, at the level of reasonable assurance, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b)  Changes in Internal Controls.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

46

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we have been subject to legal proceedings and claims with respect to such matters as patents, product liabilities and other actions arising out of the normal course of business.

On November 29, 2001, a complaint captioned McKee v. OmniVision Technologies, Inc., et. al., Civil Action No. 01 CV 10775, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against us, some of our directors and officers, and various underwriters for our initial public offering. Plaintiffs generally allege that the named defendants violated federal securities laws because the prospectus related to our offering failed to disclose, and contained false and misleading statements regarding, certain commissions purported to have been received by the underwriters, and other purported underwriter practices in connection with their allocation of shares in our offering. The complaint seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of our common stock between July 14, 2000 and December 6, 2000. Substantially similar actions have been filed concerning the initial public offerings for more than 300 different issuers, and the cases have been coordinated as In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 21 MC 92. Claims against our directors and officers have been dismissed without prejudice pursuant to a stipulation. On February 19, 2003, the Court issued an order dismissing all claims against us except for a claim brought under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933.

In June 2004, the issuer defendants and plaintiffs negotiated a stipulation of settlement for the claims against the issuer defendants, including us, that was submitted to the Court for approval. In August 2005, the Court preliminarily approved the settlement. In December 2006, the appellate court overturned the certification of classes in the six test cases that were selected by the underwriter defendants and plaintiffs in the coordinated proceedings. Because class certification was a condition of the settlement, it was unlikely that the settlement would receive final court approval. On June 25, 2007, the Court entered an order terminating the proposed settlement based upon a stipulation among the parties to the settlement. On August 14, 2007, plaintiffs filed amended master allegations and amended complaints in the six test cases, which the defendants in those cases have moved to dismiss. Plaintiffs have also moved for class certification in the six test cases, which the defendants in those cases have opposed. It is uncertain whether there will be any revised or future settlement. If the litigation proceeds, we believe that we have meritorious defenses to plaintiffs’ claims and intend to defend the action vigorously.

On October 12, 2007, a purported OmniVision shareholder filed a complaint against certain of our IPO underwriters. The complaint, Vanessa Simmonds v. Bank of America Corporation, et al., Case No. C07-1668, filed in District Court for the Western District of Washington, makes similar allegations to those made in In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation and seeks the recovery of short-swing trading profits under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The complaint names us as a nominal defendant. No recovery is sought from us.

On June 10, 2004, the first of several putative class actions was filed against us and certain of our present and former directors and officers in federal court in the Northern District of California on behalf of investors who purchased our common stock at various times from February 2003 through June 9, 2004. Those actions were consolidated under the caption In re OmniVision Technologies, Inc., No. C-04-2297-SC, and a consolidated complaint was filed. The consolidated complaint asserted claims on behalf of purchasers of our common stock between June 11, 2003 and June 9, 2004, and sought unspecified damages. The consolidated complaint generally alleged that defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by allegedly engaging in improper accounting practices that purportedly led to our financial restatement. On July 29, 2005, the Court denied our motion to dismiss the complaint. The parties engaged in settlement discussions and in November 2006, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the litigation. The total amount of the settlement was approximately $13.8 million, of which we agreed to contribute approximately $0.8 million and the remainder was to be funded by insurance carriers that issued Directors and Officers Liability Insurance Policies to us. We accrued $3.3 million during fiscal 2007, as our share of the settlement, including unreimbursed defense costs, net of the $13.0 million in recoverable insurance proceeds. The parties executed a Stipulation of Settlement that was filed with the Court on May 15, 2007. On May 25, 2007, the Court issued an Order preliminarily approving the settlement and at a hearing on September 7, 2007, the Court determined that the settlement was fair, reasonable and adequate to the purported class. On December 6, 2007, the Court issued its order granting final approval of the settlement and entered the judgment. The settlement and Court Order are now final and the litigation is concluded.

47

On February 21, 2008, we filed a lawsuit against Qualcomm Incorporated in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleging claims of trademark infringement arising from Qualcomm’s use of, and attempt to register, the mark OMNIVISION for a computer hardware system and related services. We seek an injunction and unspecified damages. We had previously filed opposition proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board of the United States Patent and Trademark office against Qualcomm’s applications to register the OMNIVISION mark, and we have now moved to suspend those proceedings based upon the new parallel federal litigation. We have not yet served Qualcomm and we do not yet know how Qualcomm will respond to the litigation.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause our future business, financial condition or results of operations to differ materially from our historical results or currently anticipated results, including those set forth below.

The following description of these risk factors includes any material changes to and supersedes the description of the risk factors associated with our business previously disclosed in Item 1A of our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 29, 2007. As a result of the following risk factors, as well as of other variables affecting our operating results, past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

Risks Related to Our Business

We face intense competition in our markets from more established CMOS and CCD image sensor manufacturers, and if we are unable to compete successfully we may not be able to maintain or grow our business.

The image sensor market is intensely competitive, and we expect competition in this industry to continue to increase. This competition has resulted in rapid technological change, evolving standards, reductions in product selling prices and rapid product obsolescence. If we are unable to successfully meet these competitive challenges, we may be unable to maintain and grow our business. Any inability on our part to compete successfully would also adversely affect our results of operations and impair our financial condition.

Our image-sensor products face competition from other companies that sell CMOS image sensors and from companies that sell CCD image sensors. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, greater presence in key markets, greater name recognition, larger customer bases, more established strategic and financial relationships and significantly greater financial, sales and marketing, distribution, technical and other resources than we do. Many of them also have their own manufacturing facilities which may give them a competitive advantage. As a result, they may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and customer requirements or devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products. Our competitors include established CMOS image sensor manufacturers such as Kodak, MagnaChip, Micron, Matsushita, Samsung, Sony, STMicroelectronics and Toshiba as well as CCD image sensor manufacturers such as Fuji, Kodak, Matsushita, NEC, Sanyo, Sharp, Sony, Texas Instruments and Toshiba. Many of these competitors own and operate their own fabrication facilities, which in certain circumstances may give them the ability to price their products more aggressively than we can or may allow them to respond more rapidly than we can to changing market opportunities. In addition, we compete with a large number of smaller CMOS manufacturers including Foveon, PixArt, Pixelplus, Pixim, SET and Silicon File. Competition with these and other companies has required, and in the future may require, us to reduce our prices. For instance, we have seen increased competition in the markets for VGA image sensor products with resulting pressures on product pricing. Downward pressure on pricing could result both in decreased revenues and lower gross margins, which would adversely affect our profitability.

Our competitors may acquire or enter into strategic or commercial agreements or arrangements with foundries or providers of color filter processing, assembly or packaging services. These strategic arrangements between our competitors and third party service providers could involve preferential or exclusive arrangements for our competitors. Such strategic alliances could impair our ability to secure sufficient capacity from foundries and service providers to meet our demand for wafer manufacturing, color filter processing, assembly or packaging services, adversely affecting our ability to meet customer demand for our products. In addition, competitors may enter into exclusive relationships with distributors, which could reduce available distribution channels for our products and impair our ability to sell our products and grow our business. Further, some of our customers could also become developers of image sensors, and this could potentially adversely affect our results of operations, business and prospects.

Reductions in our average selling prices may lower our revenues and, as a result, may reduce our gross margins.

We have experienced and expect to continue to experience pressure to reduce the selling prices of our products, and our average selling prices have declined as a result. Competition in our product markets is intense and as this competition continues to intensify, we anticipate that these pricing pressures will increase. We expect that the average selling prices for many of our products will continue to decline over time. Unless we can increase unit sales sufficiently

49

to offset these declines in our average selling prices, our revenues will decline. Reductions in our average selling prices have adversely affected our gross margins, and unless we can reduce manufacturing costs to compensate, additional reductions in our average selling prices will continue to adversely affect our gross margins and could materially and adversely affect our operating results and impair our financial condition. We have increased and intend to continue to increase our research, development and related expenses to continue the development of new image sensor products in fiscal years 2008 and 2009 that can be sold at higher selling prices and/or manufactured at lower cost. However, if we are unable to timely introduce new products that incorporate more advanced technology and include more advanced features that can be sold at higher average selling prices, or if we are unable to successfully develop more cost-effective technologies, our financial results could be adversely affected.

Sales of our image-sensor products for camera cell phones account for a large portion of our revenues, and any decline in sales to the camera cell phone market or failure of this market to continue to grow as expected could adversely affect our results of operations.

Sales to the camera cell phone market account for a large portion of our revenues. Although we can only estimate the percentages of our products that are used in the camera cell phone market due to the significant number of our image-sensor products that are sold to module makers or through distributors and VARs, we believe that the camera cell phone market accounted for approximately 80% of our revenues in fiscal 2007 and approximately 70% in the nine months ended January 31, 2008. We expect that revenues from sales of our image-sensor products to the camera cell phone market will continue to account for a significant portion of our revenues during fiscal 2008 and beyond. Any factors adversely affecting the demand for our image sensors in this market could cause our business to suffer and adversely affect our operating results. The digital image sensor market for camera cell phones is extremely competitive, and we expect to face increased competition in this market in the future. In addition, we believe the market for camera cell phones is also relatively concentrated and the top five producers account for more than 80% of the annual sales of these products. If we do not continue to achieve design wins with key camera cell phone manufacturers, our market share or revenues could decrease. The camera cell phone image sensor market is also subject to rapid technological change. In order to compete successfully in this market, we will have to correctly forecast customer demand for technological improvements and be able to deliver such products on a timely basis at competitive prices. If we fail to do this, our results of operations, business and prospects would be materially and adversely affected. In the past, we have experienced problems accurately forecasting customer demand in other markets. If our sales to the camera cell phone market do not increase and/or the camera cell phone market does not grow as expected, our results of operations, business and prospects would be materially adversely affected.

Our future success depends on the timely development, introduction, marketing and selling of new CMOS image sensors, which we might not be able to achieve.

Our failure to successfully develop new products that achieve market acceptance in a timely fashion would adversely affect our ability to grow our business and our operating results. The development, introduction and market acceptance of new products is critical to our ability to sustain and grow our business. Any failure to successfully develop, introduce, market and sell new products could materially adversely affect our business and operating results. The development of new products is highly complex, and we have in the past experienced delays in completing the development and introduction of new products. From time to time, we have also encountered unexpected manufacturing problems as we increase the production of new products. For example, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, and again in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the back-end yields on two of our advanced products were significantly below where we planned, and our gross margins were adversely impacted. As our products integrate new and more advanced functions, they become more complex and increasingly difficult to design and debug. Successful product development and introduction depends on a number of factors, including:

·accurate prediction of market requirements and evolving standards, including pixel resolution, output interface standards, power requirements, optical lens size, input standards and operating systems for personal computers and other platforms;

·development of advanced technologies and capabilities;

·definition, timely completion and introduction of new CMOS image sensors that satisfy customer requirements;

50

·development of products that maintain a technological advantage over the products of our competitors, including our advantages with respect to the functionality and pixel capability of our image-sensor products and our proprietary testing processes; and

·market acceptance of the new products.

Accomplishing all of these steps is difficult, time consuming and expensive. We may be unable to develop new products or product enhancements in time to capture market opportunities or achieve significant or sustainable acceptance in new and existing markets. In addition, our products could become obsolete sooner than anticipated because of a rapid change in one or more of the technologies related to our products or the reduced life cycles of consumer products.

Design wins are a key determinant of future revenues, and failure to obtain design wins has in the past, and could in the future, adversely affect our revenues and impair our ability to grow our business.

Our past success has been, and our future success is, dependent upon manufacturers designing our image-sensor products into their products. To achieve design wins, which are decisions by manufacturers to design our products into their systems, we must define and deliver cost effective and innovative image-sensor solutions on a timely basis that satisfy the manufacturers’ requirements. Our ability to achieve design wins is subject to numerous risks including competitive pressures as well as technological risks. If we do not achieve a design win with a prospective customer, it may be difficult to sell our image-sensor products to such prospective customer in the future because once a manufacturer has designed a supplier’s products into its systems, the manufacturer may be reluctant to change its source of components due to the significant costs, time, effort and risk associated with qualifying a new supplier and modifying its design platforms. Accordingly, if we fail to achieve design wins with key device manufacturers that embed image sensors in their products, our market share or revenues could decrease. Furthermore, to the extent that our competitors secure design wins, our ability to expand our business in the future will be impaired.

We depend on a limited number of third party wafer foundries, which reduces our ability to control our manufacturing process.

Unlike some of our larger competitors, we do not own or operate a semiconductor fabrication facility. Instead, we rely on TSMC, PSC and other subcontract foundries to produce all of our wafers. Historically, we have relied on TSMC to provide us with a substantial majority of our wafers. As a part of our joint venture agreement with TSMC, TSMC has agreed to commit substantial wafer manufacturing capacity to us in exchange for our commitment to purchase a substantial portion of our wafers from TSMC, subject to pricing and technology requirements.

In addition, we have entered into a foundry manufacturing agreement with PSC pursuant to which we and PSC have agreed to jointly develop certain pixel-related process technology and for PSC to process certain of our CMOS image sensors at PSC’s facilities in accordance with the scheduled development approved by both parties.

Under the terms of these supply agreements, we secure manufacturing capacity in any particular period on a purchase order basis. The foundries have no obligation to supply products to us for any specific period, in any specific quantity or at any specific price, except as set forth in a particular purchase order. In general, our reliance on third party foundries involves a number of significant risks, including:

·reduced control over delivery schedules, quality assurance, manufacturing yields and production costs;

·lack of guaranteed production capacity or product supply;

·unavailability of, or delayed access to, next generation or key process technologies; and

·financial difficulties or disruptions in the operations of third party foundries due to causes beyond our control.

If TSMC, PSC, or any of our other foundries were unable to continue manufacturing our wafers in the required quantities, at acceptable quality, yields and costs, or in a timely manner, we would have to identify and qualify substitute foundries, which would be time consuming and difficult, and could increase our costs or result in unforeseen manufacturing problems. In addition, if competition for foundry capacity increases we may be required to pay increased amounts for manufacturing services. We are also exposed to additional risks if we transfer our production of semiconductors from one foundry to another, as such transfer could interrupt our manufacturing process. Further, some

51

of our foundries may also be developers of image sensor products and if one or more of our other foundries were to decide not to fabricate our companion DSP chips for competitive or other reasons, we would have to identify and qualify other sources for these products.

We rely on a joint venture company for color filter application and on third party service providers for packaging and other back-end services, which reduces our control over delivery schedules, product quality and cost, and could adversely affect our ability to deliver products to customers.

We rely on VisEra, our joint venture with TSMC, for the color filter processing of our completed wafers. In addition, we rely on Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. and ImPac, our equity investee, for substantially all of our ceramic chip packages. We also rely on ImPac for our plastic chip packages. We rely on XinTec and WLCSP, two investee companies, for chip scale packages, which are generally used in our products designed for the smallest form factor applications. We rely on several specialized service providers, one of which is ImPac, to perform the necessary wafer probe tests and prepare good die for use in a form called chip-on-board, a process called reconstructing wafers. If for any reason one or more of these service providers becomes unable or unwilling to continue to provide color filter processing or packaging services of acceptable quality, at acceptable costs and in a timely manner, our ability to deliver our products to our customers could be severely impaired. We would have to identify and qualify substitute service providers, which could be time consuming and difficult and could result in unforeseen operational problems. Substitute service providers might not be available or, if available, might be unwilling or unable to offer services on acceptable terms.

In addition, if competition for color filter processing, packaging, capacity or other back end services increases, we may be required to pay or invest significant amounts to secure access to these services, which could adversely impact our operating results. The number of companies that provide these services is limited and some of them have limited operating histories and financial resources. In the event our current providers refuse or are unable to continue to provide these services to us, we may be unable to procure services from alternate service providers. Furthermore, if customer demand for our products increases, we may be unable to secure sufficient additional capacity from our current service providers on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Moreover, our reliance on a limited number of third party service providers to provide color filter processing services subjects us to reduced control over delivery schedules, quality assurance and costs. This lack of control may cause unforeseen product shortages or may increase our costs of manufacturing, assembling or testing of our products, which would adversely affect our operating results.

Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results have caused volatility in the market price of our common stock and make it difficult to predict our future operating results.

Our quarterly operating results have varied significantly from quarter to quarter in the past and are likely to vary significantly in the future based on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors and other industry risks, many of which are more fully discussed in our other risk factors, include, but are not limited to:

·the volume and mix of our product sales;

·competitive pricing pressures;

·our ability to accurately forecast demand for our products;

·our ability to achieve acceptable wafer manufacturing or back-end processing yields;

·our gain or loss of a large customer;

·our ability to manage our product transitions;

·the availability of production capacity at the suppliers that manufacture our products or process our products;

·the growth of the market for products and applications using CMOS image sensors;

·the timing and size of orders from our customers;

·the volume of our product returns;

·the seasonal nature of customer demand for our products;

·the deferral of customer orders in anticipation of new products, product designs or enhancements;

52

·the announcement and introduction of products and technologies by our competitors;

·adverse changes in global economic conditions;

·the level of our operating expenses; and

·the increased volatility of our effective tax rate as a consequence of our adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48, or FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.”

Our introduction of new products and our product mix have affected and may continue to affect our quarterly operating results. Changes in our product mix could adversely affect our operating results, because some products provide higher margins than others. We typically experience lower yields when manufacturing new products through the initial production phase, and consequently our gross margins on new products have historically been lower than our gross margins on our more established products. We also anticipate that the rate of orders from our customers may vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Our operating expenses are relatively fixed, and our inventory levels are based on our expectations of future revenues. Consequently, if we do not achieve the revenues we expect in any quarter, expenses and inventory levels could be disproportionately high, adversely impacting our operating results for that quarter, and potentially in future quarters.

All of these factors are difficult to forecast and could result in fluctuations in our quarterly operating results. Our operating results in a given quarter could be substantially less than anticipated, and, if we fail to meet market analysts’ expectations, a substantial decline in our stock price could result. Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results could adversely affect the price of our common stock in a manner unrelated to our long-term operating performance.

Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations which may in turn cause fluctuations in our results of operations from period to period.

Many of the products using our image sensors, such as camera cell phones, notebooks and personal computers, digital still cameras and cameras for toys and games, are consumer electronics goods. These mass-market camera devices generally have seasonal cycles which historically have caused the sales of our customers to fluctuate quarter-to-quarter. Historically, demand from OEMs and distributors that serve such consumer product markets has been stronger in the second and third quarters of our fiscal year and weaker in the first and fourth quarters of our fiscal year.

In addition, since a very large number of the manufacturers who use our products are located in China and Taiwan, the pattern of demand for our image sensors has been increasingly influenced by the timing of the extended lunar or Chinese New Year holiday, a period in which the factories which use our image sensors generally close. For example, we believe that the decline in revenues that we experienced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 is partly attributable to the fact that in 2007 Chinese New Year occurred in mid-February, and manufacturing did not resume in full until sometime in March.

Problems with wafer manufacturing and/or back-end processing yields could result in higher product costs and could impair our ability to meet customer demand for our products.

If the foundries manufacturing the wafers used in our products cannot achieve the yields we expect, we will incur higher per unit costs and reduced product availability. Foundries that supply our wafers have experienced problems in the past achieving acceptable wafer manufacturing yields. Wafer yields are a function both of our design technology and the particular foundry’s manufacturing process technology. Certain risks are inherent in the introduction of such new products and technology. Low yields may result from design errors or manufacturing failures in new or existing products. During the early stages of production, production yields for new products are typically lower than those of established products. Unlike many other semiconductor products, optical products can be effectively tested only when they are complete. Accordingly, we perform final testing of our products only after they are assembled. As a result, yield problems may not be identified until our products are well into the production process. The risks associated with low yields could be increased because we rely on third party offshore foundries for our wafers, which can increase the effort and time required to identify, communicate and resolve manufacturing yield problems. In addition to wafer manufacturing yields, our products are subject to yield loss in subsequent manufacturing steps, often referred to as back-end processing, such as the application of color filters and micro-lenses, dicing (cutting the wafer into individual devices, or die) and packaging. Any of these potential problems with wafer manufacturing and/or back-end processing yields could result in a reduction in our gross margins and/or our ability to timely deliver products to customers, which

53

could adversely affect our customer relations and make it more difficult to sustain and grow our business. For example, low back-end yields on two of our products adversely impacted our gross margins for the fiscal quarters ended April 30, 2005, July 31, 2005 and October 31, 2005.

If we do not forecast customer demand correctly, our business could be impaired and our stock price may decline.

Our sales are generally made on the basis of purchase orders rather than long-term purchase commitments; however, we manufacture products and build inventory based on our estimates of customer demand. Accordingly, we must rely on multiple assumptions to forecast customer demand. We are continually working to improve our sales forecasting procedures. If we overestimate customer demand, we may manufacture products that we may be unable to sell, or we may have to sell at lower prices. This could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, our customers may cancel or defer orders at any time by mutual written consent. We have experienced problems with accurately forecasting customer demand in the past. For example, there was a shift in the mix of product demand, in particular a shift in demand towards VGA products late in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, and as a result our inventories at the end of the second and third quarters of fiscal 2007 were higher than we intended them to be. We need to accurately predict customer demand because we must often make commitments to have products manufactured before we receive firm purchase orders from our customers. Conversely, if we underestimate customer demand, we may be unable to manufacture sufficient products quickly enough to meet actual demand, causing us to lose customers and impairing our ability to grow our business. In preparation for new product introductions, we gradually ramp down production of established products. With our 12-14 week production cycle, it is extremely difficult to predict precisely how many units of established products we will need. It is also difficult to accurately predict the speed of the ramp of our new products and the impact on inventory levels presented by the shorter life cycles of end-user products. The shorter product life cycle is a result of an increase in competition and the growth of various consumer-product applications for image sensors. For example, although in the security and surveillance market we continue to sell image-sensor products introduced more than four years ago, in the camera cell phone market, the product life cycle of image sensors can be as little as six months. Under these circumstances, it is possible that we could suffer from shortages for certain products and, if we underestimate market demand, we face the risk of being unable to fulfill customer orders. We also face the risk of excess inventory and product obsolescence if we overestimate market demand for our products and build inventories in excess of demand. Our ability to accurately forecast sales is also a critical factor in our ability to meet analyst expectations for our quarterly and annual operating results. Any failure to meet these expectations would likely lead to a substantial decline in our stock price.

We depend on the increased acceptance of mass-market image sensor applications to grow our business and increase our revenues.

Our business strategy depends in large part on the continued growth of various markets into which we sell our image-sensor products, including the markets for camera cell phones, notebook and personal computers, digital still and video cameras, commercial and security and surveillance applications, toys and games, including interactive video games, automotive and medical applications. If these markets do not grow and develop as we anticipate, we may be unable to sustain or grow the sales of our products.

In addition, the market price of our common stock may be adversely affected if certain of these new markets do not emerge or develop as expected. Securities analysts may already factor revenue from such new markets into their future estimates of our financial performance and should such markets not develop as expected by such securities analysts the trading price of our common stock could be adversely affected.

Our lengthy manufacturing, packaging and assembly cycle, in addition to our customers’ design cycle, may result in uncertainty and delays in generating revenues.

The production of our image sensors requires a lengthy manufacturing, packaging and assembly process, typically lasting approximately 12-14 weeks. Additional time may pass before a customer commences volume shipments of products that incorporate our image sensors. Even when a manufacturer decides to design our image sensors into its products, the manufacturer may never ship final products incorporating our image sensors. Given this lengthy cycle, we experience a delay between the time we incur expenditures for research and development and sales and marketing efforts and the time we generate revenue, if any, from these expenditures. This delay makes it more difficult to forecast customer demand, which adds uncertainty to the manufacturing planning process and could adversely affect our operating results. In addition, the product life cycle for certain of our image-sensor products designed for use in certain

54

applications can be relatively short. If we fail to appropriately manage the manufacturing, packaging and assembly process, our products may become obsolete before they can be incorporated into our customers’ products and we may never realize a return on investment for the expenditures we incur in developing and producing these products.

Our ability to deliver products that meet customer demand is dependent upon our ability to meet new and changing requirements for color filter application and sensor packaging.

We expect that as we develop new products to meet technological advances and new and changing industry and customer demands, our color filter application and ceramic, plastic and chip-scale packaging requirements will also evolve. Our ability to continue to profitably deliver products that meet customer demand is dependent upon our ability to obtain third party services that meet these new requirements on a cost-effective basis. We have historically relied exclusively on third parties, and more recently, on one of our joint ventures, to provide these services. There can be no assurances that any of these parties will be able to develop enhancements to the services they provide to us to meet these new and changing industry and customer requirements. Furthermore, even if these service providers are able to develop their services to meet new and evolving requirements, these services may not be available at a cost that enables us to sustain our profitability.

The high level of complexity and integration of our products increases the risk of latent defects, which could damage customer relationships and increase our costs.

Our products are based upon evolving technology, and because we integrate many functions on a single chip, are complex. The integration of additional functions into already complex products could result in a greater risk that customers or end users could discover latent defects or subtle faults after we have already shipped significant quantities of a product. Although we test our products, we have in the past and may in the future encounter defects or errors. For example, in the third quarter of fiscal 2005, we made a provision of $2.7 million related to the possible replacement of products that did not meet a particular customer’s standards. Delivery of products with defects or reliability, quality or compatibility problems may damage our reputation and ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers. In addition, product defects and errors could result in additional development costs, diversion of technical resources, delayed product shipments, increased product returns, product warranty costs for recall and replacement and product liability claims against us which may not be fully covered by insurance.

Historically, our revenues have been dependent upon a few key customers, the loss of one or more of which could significantly reduce our revenues.

Historically, a relatively small number of OEMs, VARs and distributors have accounted for a significant portion of our revenues. Any material delay, cancellation or reduction of purchase orders from one or more of our major customers or distributors could result in our failure to achieve anticipated revenue for a particular period. In addition, if we are unable to retain one or more of our largest OEM, distributor or VAR customers, or if we are unable to maintain our current level of revenues from one or more of these significant customers, our business and results of operation would be impaired and our stock price could decrease, potentially significantly. In the nine months ended January 31, 2008, one OEM customer accounted for approximately 15.5% of our revenues, and one distributor customer accounted for approximately 20.5% of our revenues. In the nine months ended January 31, 2007, one OEM customer accounted for approximately 13.6% of our revenues, and two distributor customers accounted for approximately 14.6% and 12.4%, respectively, of our revenues. In addition, approximately 55% of our revenues have historically come from our top five customers. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will continue to depend significantly on our ability to retain our current key customers and attract new customers, as well as on the financial condition and success of our OEMs, VARs and distributors.

Changes in accounting rules for stock-based compensation have adversely affected our reported operating results, and may adversely affect our stock price and our competitiveness in the employee marketplace.

Since our founding, we have used employee stock options and other stock-based compensation to attract, motivate and retain our employees. In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards  No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” or SFAS No. 123(R). We adopted SFAS No. 123(R) on May 1, 2006 and accordingly, we began to measure compensation costs for all stock-based compensation at fair value and recognize these costs as expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income. The recognition of these expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income has had a negative effect on our earnings per share, which could negatively impact our future stock price. In addition, reducing or altering our use of stock-based compensation to reduce these expenses,

55

may adversely impact our ability to attract, motivate and retain qualified employees, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage in the employee marketplace.

We may be required to record a significant charge to earnings if our goodwill, amortizable intangible assets or long-term investments become impaired.

Under generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to review our amortizable intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. We are required to test goodwill for impairment at least annually. Factors that may be considered a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of our amortizable intangible assets may not be recoverable include a decline in stock price and market capitalization, and slower growth rates in our industry. We may be required to record a significant charge to earnings in our financial statements during the period in which we determine that our goodwill, amortizable intangible assets or long-term investments have been impaired. Any such charge would adversely impact our results of operations. As of January 31, 2008, our net goodwill and amortizable intangible assets totaled approximately $23.1 million and our long term investments totaled approximately $83.6 million.

We maintain a backlog of customer orders that is subject to cancellation or delay in delivery schedules, and any cancellation or delay may result in lower than anticipated revenues.

Our sales are generally made pursuant to standard purchase orders. We include in our backlog only those customer orders for which we have accepted purchase orders and assigned shipment dates within the upcoming 12 months. Orders constituting our current backlog are subject to cancellation or changes in delivery schedules, and backlog may not necessarily be an indication of future revenue. Any cancellation or delay in orders which constitute our current or future backlog may result in lower than expected revenues.

If we are unable to maintain processes and procedures to sustain effective internal control over our financial reporting, our ability to provide reliable and timely financial reports could be harmed and this could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.

We are required to comply with the rules promulgated under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 requires that we prepare an annual management report assessing the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, and requires a report by our independent registered public accounting firm addressing this assessment and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

We have in the past discovered, and may in the future discover, areas of our internal control that need improvement. For example, we restated our financial statements for the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2004. If these or similar types of issues were to arise with respect to our internal controls in future periods, they could impair our ability to produce accurate and timely financial reports.

As our business expands, ongoing compliance with the provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and maintenance of effective internal control over financial reporting will require that we hire additional qualified finance and accounting personnel. Because other businesses face similar challenges, there is significant competition for such personnel, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and/or retain suitably qualified employees.

Corporate governance regulations have recently increased our compliance costs and could further increase our expenses if changes occur within our business.

Changes in laws and regulations affecting public companies, including the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, have imposed new requirements on us and on our officers, directors, attorneys and independent registered public accounting firm. In order to comply with these new rules, we added internal resources and have utilized additional outside legal, accounting and advisory services, which increased our operating expenses in fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006 as compared to prior fiscal years. We expect to incur ongoing operating expenses as we maintain compliance with Section 404. In addition, if we undergo significant modifications to our structure through personnel or system changes, acquisitions, or otherwise, it may be increasingly difficult to maintain compliance with the existing and evolving corporate governance regulations.

56

We hold a significant amount of marketable securities which are managed on our behalf by third parties and are subject to general market risks over which we have no control.

As of January 31, 2008, we held cash and cash equivalents totaling $275.5 million, and short-term investments totaling $87.8 million. These assets are managed on our behalf by unrelated third parties in accordance with a cash management policy that has been approved by our board of directors and restricts our investments to a maximum maturity of 18 months and to investment-grade instruments. Recent uncertainties in global capital markets associated with a repricing of risk have caused disruptions in the orderly function of markets where ordinarily there is virtually unlimited liquidity. To date, we have not realized any losses as a result of these disruptions, but a future requirement to liquidate a portion of our portfolio at short notice could result in losses of principal.

There are risks associated with our operations in China.

In December 2000, we established Hua Wei Semiconductor (Shanghai) Co. Ltd., or HWSC, as part of our efforts to streamline our manufacturing process and reduce the costs and working capital associated with the testing of our image-sensor products, and relocated our automated image testing equipment from the United States to China. We are currently expanding our testing capabilities with additional automated testing equipment, which will also be located in China. However, there are significant administrative, legal and governmental risks to operating in China that could result in increased operating expenses or that could prevent us from achieving our objectives in operations. The risks from operating in China that could increase our operating expenses and adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and ability to deliver our products and grow our business include, without limitation:

·difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations, particularly in attracting and retaining personnel qualified to design, sell and support CMOS image sensors;

·difficulties in coordinating our operations in China with those in California;

·diversion of management attention;

·difficulties in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies across our global operations, including inventory management and financial consolidation;

·political and economic instability, which could have an adverse impact on foreign exchange rates in Asia and could impair our ability to conduct our business in China; and

·inadequacy of the local infrastructure to support our needs.

We may experience integration or other problems with potential future acquisitions, which could have an adverse effect on our business or results of operations. New acquisitions could dilute the interests of existing stockholders, and the announcement of new acquisitions could result in a decline in the price of our common stock.

We may in the future make acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses that offer products, services and technologies that we believe would complement our products, including CMOS image sensor manufacturers. We may also make acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses that we believe could expand our distribution channels. Even if we were to announce an acquisition, we may not be able to complete it. In addition, any future acquisition or substantial investment could present numerous risks, including:

·difficulty in realizing the potential technological benefits of the transaction;

·difficulty in integrating the technology, operations or work force of the acquired business with our existing business;

·unanticipated expenses related to technology integration;

·disruption of our ongoing business;

·difficulty in realizing the potential financial or strategic benefits of the transaction;

·difficulty in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;

·possible impairment of relationships with employees, customers, suppliers and strategic partners as a result of integration of new businesses and management personnel;

·reductions in our future operating results from amortization of intangible assets;

57

·impairment of resulting goodwill; and

·potential unknown or unexpected liabilities associated with acquired businesses.

We expect that any future acquisitions could include consideration to be paid in cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and our common stock. If and when consideration for a transaction is paid in common stock, it will result in dilution to our existing stockholders.

We may never achieve all of the anticipated benefits from our joint venture with TSMC.

In October 2003, we entered into an agreement with TSMC to form VisEra, a joint venture in Taiwan, for the purposes of providing manufacturing services. In August 2005, we amended and restated our agreement with TSMC in part to enable VisEra to acquire 29.6% of XinTec, a supplier of chip-scale packaging services in which we originally invested in April 2003 and in which we directly hold an approximate four percent interest. In January 2007, we entered into a further amendment to the agreement with TSMC to expand the scope of VisEra’s activities and provide additional funding for the expansion of VisEra.

In January 2006, VisEra acquired certain color filter processing equipment from TSMC and assumed direct responsibility for providing the color filter processing services that had previously been provided by TSMC. We expect that VisEra will be able to provide us with a committed supply of high quality manufacturing services at competitive prices. However, there are significant legal, governmental and relationship risks to developing VisEra, and we cannot ensure that we will receive the expected benefits from the joint venture. For example, VisEra may not be able to provide manufacturing services that have competitive technology or prices, which could adversely affect our product offerings and our ability to meet customer requirements for our products. In addition, the existence of VisEra may also make it more difficult for us to secure dependable services from competing merchant vendors who provide similar manufacturing services.

We may not achieve all of the anticipated benefits of our alliances with, and strategic investments in, third parties.

We expect to develop our business partly through forming alliances or joint ventures with and making strategic investments in other companies, some of which may be companies at a relatively early stage of development. For example, in April 2003, we made an investment in XinTec, a company that provides chip scale packaging services, and in June 2003 we made an investment in ImPac, a plastic packaging service company. In December 2005, VisEra, our joint venture with TSMC, completed the acquisition of a further 29.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of XinTec. In January 2007, TSMC acquired directly a 43.0% interest in XinTec, thus reducing our beneficial ownership in XinTec to 12.4%. In May 2007, we acquired approximately 20% of the registered capital of WLCSP, a company that also provides chip scale packaging services.

In May 2004, we entered into an agreement with PSC under which we established SOI, a joint venture as a company incorporated under the laws of Taiwan. The purpose of the joint venture is to conduct the business of manufacturing, marketing and selling of certain of our legacy products. In March 2005, we assumed control of the board of directors of SOI and we have consolidated SOI since April 30, 2005.

Our investments in these and other companies may negatively impact our operating results, because, under certain circumstances, we are required to recognize our portion of any loss recorded by each of these companies or to consolidate them into our operating results. We expect to continue to utilize partnerships, strategic alliances and investments, particularly those that enhance our manufacturing capacity and those that provide manufacturing services and testing capability. These investments and partnering arrangements are crucial to our ability to grow our business and meet the increasing demands of our customers. However, we cannot ensure that we will achieve the benefits we expect from these alliances. For example, we may not be able to obtain acceptable quality and/or wafer manufacturing yields from these companies, which could result in higher operating costs and could impair our ability to meet customer demand for our products. In addition, certain of these investments or partnering relationships may place restrictions on the scope of our business, the geographic areas in which we can sell our products and the types of products that we can manufacture and sell. For example, our agreement with TSMC provides that we may not engage in business that will directly compete with the business of VisEra. This type of non-competition provision may impact our ability to grow our business and to meet the demands of our customers.

58

Changes in our relationships with our joint ventures and/or companies in which we hold less than a majority interest could change the way we account for such interests in the future.

As part of our strategy, we have formed joint ventures with two of our foundry partners, and we hold a minority interest in three companies from which we purchase certain manufacturing services. Under the applicable provisions of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, we currently consolidate one of these joint ventures into our consolidated financial statements and results of operations, and record the equity interests that we do not own as minority interests. For the investments that we account for under the equity method, we record as part of other income or expense our share of the increase or decrease in the equity of the companies in which we have invested. It is possible that, in the future, our relationships and/or our interests in or with these joint ventures or other investees could change. Such changes have in the past, and could in the future result in deconsolidation or consolidation of such entities, as the case may be, which could result in changes in our reported results.

We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property, and therefore we may lose some of our competitive advantage.

We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws as well as nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary technologies. We have been issued patents and have a number of pending United States and foreign patent applications. However, we cannot provide assurance that any patent will be issued as a result of any applications or, if issued, that any claims allowed will be sufficiently broad to protect our technology. It is possible that existing or future patents may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. For example, in August 2002 we initiated a patent infringement action in Taiwan, Republic of China against IC Media Corporation of San Jose, California for infringement of a Taiwanese patent that had been issued to us. In response to our patent infringement action, in October 2002, IC Media Corporation initiated a cancellation proceeding in the Taiwan Intellectual Property Office with respect to our patent. In July 2003, the Taiwan Intellectual Property Office made an initial determination to grant the cancellation of the subject patent, which decision was upheld by the Taiwan Ministry of Economic Affairs and the High Administrative Court. We decided not to appeal such decision by the May 31, 2005 deadline. Although we do not believe the cancellation of the Taiwanese patent at issue in the dispute described above has had a material adverse effect on our business or prospects, there may be other situations where our inability to adequately protect our intellectual property rights could materially and adversely affect our competitive position and operating results. If a third party can copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology without authorization, develop corresponding technology independently or design around our patents, this could materially adversely affect our business and prospects. Effective patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in foreign countries. Any disputes over our intellectual property rights, whatever the ultimate resolution of such disputes, may result in costly and time-consuming litigation or require the license of additional elements of intellectual property for a fee.

Litigation regarding intellectual property could divert management attention, be costly to defend and prevent us from using or selling the challenged technology.

In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States involving intellectual property rights, including in the semiconductor industry. We have in the past been, and may in the future be, subject to legal proceedings and claims with respect to our intellectual property, including such matters as trade secrets, patents, product liabilities and other actions arising out of the normal course of business. These claims may increase as our intellectual property portfolio becomes larger or more valuable. Intellectual property claims against us, and any resulting lawsuit, may cause us to incur significant expenses, subject us to liability for damages and invalidate our proprietary rights. In fiscal 2002, we paid $3.5 million to settle an intellectual property litigation matter. Any potential intellectual property litigation against us would likely be time-consuming and expensive to resolve and would divert management’s time and attention and could also force us to take actions such as:

·ceasing the sale or use of products or services that incorporate the infringed intellectual property;

·obtaining from the holder of the infringed intellectual property a license to sell or use the relevant technology, which license may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all; or

·redesigning those products or services that incorporate the disputed intellectual property, which could result in substantial unanticipated development expenses and delay and prevent us from selling the products until the redesign is completed, if at all.

59

If we are subject to a successful claim of infringement and we fail to develop non-infringing intellectual property or license the infringed intellectual property on acceptable terms and on a timely basis, we may be unable to sell some or all of our products, and our operating results could be adversely affected. We may in the future initiate claims or litigation against third parties for infringement of our intellectual property rights or to determine the scope and validity of our proprietary rights or the proprietary rights of competitors. These claims could also result in significant expense and the diversion of technical and management attention.

We have been named as a defendant in certain litigation that could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.

We are currently a defendant in certain of the ongoing litigation matters as described in Part II, Item 1 — “Legal Proceedings” of this Quarterly Report. The results of litigation are uncertain, and the litigation process may utilize a portion of our cash resources and divert management’s attention from the day-to-day operations of our company, all of which could harm our business.

If we do not effectively manage our growth, our ability to increase our revenues and improve our earnings could be adversely affected.

Our growth has placed, and will continue to place, a significant strain on our management and other resources. To manage our growth effectively, we must, among other things:

·significantly improve our operational, financial and accounting systems;

·train and manage our existing employee base;

·attract and retain qualified personnel with relevant experience; and

·effectively manage accounts receivable and inventory.

For example, our failure to effectively manage our inventory levels could result either in excess inventories, which could adversely affect our gross margins and operating results, or lead to an inability to fill customer orders, which would result in lower sales and could harm our relationships with existing and potential customers.

We must also manage multiple relationships with customers, business partners and other third parties, such as our foundries and process and assembly vendors. Moreover, our growth may significantly overburden our management and financial systems and other resources. We may not make adequate allowances for the costs and risks associated with our expansion. In addition, our systems, procedures or controls may not be adequate to support our operations, and we may not be able to expand quickly enough to capitalize on potential market opportunities. Our future operating results will also depend, in part, on our ability to expand sales and marketing, research and development, accounting, finance and administrative support.

Our future tax rates could be higher than we anticipate if the proportion of future operating income generated outside the U.S. by our foreign subsidiaries is less than we expect, or the mix differs from that which we expect.

A number of factors will affect our future tax rate, and certain of these factors could increase our effective tax rate in future periods, which could adversely impact our operating results. For example, the complex rules for accounting for the tax effects of stock-based compensation under SFAS No. 123(R) resulted in an increase in our effective tax rate beginning in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007. Similarly, we anticipate that there will be greater volatility in our future effective tax rates due to the adoption of FIN 48 in the fiscal year which began on May 1, 2007. In addition, our future effective tax rates could be negatively 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, or by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities.

In common with all multinational companies, we are subject to tax in multiple jurisdictions. The tax authorities in any given jurisdiction may seek to increase the taxes being collected by, for example, asserting that the transfer prices we charge between related entities are either too high or too low depending on which side of the transaction they are looking at. Although we believe we have provided sufficient taxes for all prior periods, adjustments could be proposed that would, in some cases, result in liabilities in excess of such provisions.

60

Our sales through distributors increase the complexity of our business and may reduce our ability to forecast revenues.

During fiscal 2007, approximately 40.0% of our revenues came from sales through distributors. For the nine months ended January 31, 2008, approximately 32.4% of our revenues came from sales through distributors. We expect that revenues from sales through distributors will continue to represent a significant proportion of our total revenues. Selling through distributors reduces our ability to accurately forecast sales and increases the complexity of our business, requiring us to, among other matters:

·manage a more complex supply chain;

·manage the level of inventory at each distributor;

·provide for credits, return rights and price protection;

·estimate the impact of credits, return rights, price protection and unsold inventory at distributors; and

·monitor the financial condition and creditworthiness of our distributors.

Any failure to manage these challenges could cause us to inaccurately forecast sales and carry excess or insufficient inventory, thereby adversely affecting our operating results.

We face foreign business, political and economic risks, because a majority of our products and those of our customers are manufactured and sold outside of the United States.

We face difficulties in managing our third party foundries, color filter application service providers, ceramic and plastic packaging and other manufacturing service providers and our foreign distributors, most of whom are located in Asia. Any political and economic instability in Asia might have an adverse impact on foreign exchange rates and could cause service disruptions for our vendors and distributors and adversely affect our customers.

Sales outside of the United States accounted for substantially all of our revenues for fiscal 2006 and 2007. We anticipate that sales outside of the United States will continue to account for nearly all of our revenues in future periods. Dependence on sales to foreign customers involves certain risks, including:

·longer payment cycles;

·the adverse effects of tariffs, duties, price controls or other restrictions that impair trade;

·decreased visibility as to future demand;

·difficulties in accounts receivable collections; and

·burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws and labor practices.

Sales of our products have to date been denominated principally in U.S. dollars. Over the last several years, the U.S. dollar has weakened against most other currencies. Future increases in the value of the U.S. dollar, if any, would increase the price of our products in the currency of the countries in which our customers are located. This may result in our customers seeking lower-priced suppliers, which could adversely impact our operating results. If a larger portion of our international revenues were to be denominated in foreign currencies in the future, we would be subject to increased risks associated with fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

Our business could be harmed if we lose the services of one or more members of our senior management team, or if we are unable to attract and retain qualified personnel.

The loss of the services of one or more of our executive officers or key employees, which has occurred from time to time, or the decision of one or more of these individuals to join a competitor, could adversely affect our business and harm our operating results and financial condition. Our success depends to a significant extent on the continued service of our senior management and certain other key technical personnel. None of our senior management is bound by an employment or non-competition agreement. We do not maintain key man life insurance on any of our employees.

Our success also depends on our ability to identify, attract and retain qualified sales, marketing, finance, management and technical personnel, particularly analog or mixed signal design engineers. We have experienced, and may continue to experience, difficulty in hiring and retaining candidates with appropriate qualifications. If we do not

61

succeed in hiring and retaining candidates with appropriate qualifications, our revenues and product development efforts could be harmed.

We are in the process of upgrading our enterprise resource planning and other management information systems.

As our business grows and becomes more complex, we have to expand and upgrade our enterprise resource planning system and other management information systems which are critical to the operational, accounting and financial functions of our company. We have evaluated alternative solutions, both short-term and long-term, to meet the operating, administrative and financial reporting requirements of our business and are currently preparing to implement a system based on a suite of application software developed by Oracle Corporation. Implementation of such a system requires significant management attention and resources over an extended period of time and any significant design errors in or delay in the implementation of the system could materially adversely affect our operating results and impact our ability to manage our business.

Our operations may be impaired as a result of disasters, business interruptions or similar events.

Disasters and business interruptions such as earthquakes, water, fire, electrical failure, accidents and epidemics affecting our operating activities, major facilities, and employees’ and customers’ health could materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. In particular, our Asian operations and most of our third party service providers involved in the manufacturing of our products are located within relative close proximity. Therefore, any disaster that strikes within close proximity of that geographic area could be extremely disruptive to our business and could materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. We do not currently have a disaster recovery plan.

Acts of war and terrorist acts may seriously harm our business and revenue, costs and expenses and financial condition.

Acts of war or terrorist acts, wherever they occur around the world, may cause damage or disruption to our business, employees, facilities, suppliers, distributors or customers, which could significantly impact our revenue, costs, expenses and financial condition. In addition, as a company with significant operations and major distributors and customers located in Asia, we may be adversely impacted by heightened tensions and acts of war that occur in locations such as the Korean Peninsula, Taiwan and China. The potential for future terrorist attacks, the national and international responses to terrorist attacks or perceived threats to national security, and other acts of war or hostility have created many economic and political uncertainties that could adversely affect our business and results of operations in ways that cannot presently be predicted. We are uninsured for losses and interruptions caused by terrorist acts and acts of war.

Risks Related to the Securities Markets and Ownership of Our Common Stock

Provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law, as well as our stockholders’ rights plan, could prevent or delay a change in control of our company and may reduce the market price of our common stock.

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that a stockholder may consider favorable. These provisions include:

·adjusting the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of preferred stock without stockholder approval;

·providing for a classified board of directors with staggered, three year terms;

·requiring supermajority voting to amend some provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws;

·limiting the persons who may call special meetings of stockholders; and

·prohibiting stockholder actions by written consent.

Provisions of Delaware law also may discourage, delay or prevent another company from acquiring or merging with us. Our board of directors adopted a preferred stock rights agreement in August 2001. Pursuant to the rights agreement, our board of directors declared a dividend of one right to purchase one one-thousandth share of our Series A Participating Preferred Stock for each outstanding share of our common stock. The dividend was paid on September 28, 2001 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on that date. Each right entitles the registered holder to

62

purchase from us one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Preferred at an exercise price of $176.00, subject to adjustment. The exercise of the rights could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of our company, including, without limitation, discouraging a proxy contest or making more difficult the acquisition of a substantial block of our common stock. The rights agreement could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for our common stock.

Our stock has been and will likely continue to be subject to substantial price and volume fluctuations due to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, that may prevent our stockholders from selling our common stock at a profit.

The market price of our common stock has fluctuated substantially, and there can be no assurance that such volatility will not continue. Since the beginning of fiscal 2002 through January 31, 2008, the closing sales price of our common stock has ranged from a high of $33.90 per share to a low of $1.26 per share. The closing sales price of our common stock on February 29, 2008 was $15.86 per share. The securities markets have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations in the past, and the market prices of the securities of semiconductor companies have been especially volatile. This market volatility, as well as general economic, market or political conditions, could reduce the market price of our common stock in spite of our operating performance. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, including:

·actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;

·changes in expectations as to our future financial performance;

·changes in financial estimates of securities analysts;

·release of lock-up or other transfer restrictions on our outstanding shares of common stock or sales of additional shares of common stock;

·sales or the perception in the market of possible sales of shares of our common stock by our directors, officers, employees or principal stockholders;

·changes in market valuations of other technology companies; and

·announcements by us or our competitors of significant technical innovations, design wins, contracts, standards or acquisitions.

Due to these factors, the price of our stock may decline and investors may be unable to resell their shares of our stock for a profit. In addition, the stock market experiences extreme volatility that often is unrelated to the performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may cause our stock price to decline regardless of our performance.

ITEM 2.   UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

        The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, our purchases of our common stock in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 (in thousands, except per share data):

(1)On February 27, 2007, our board of directors approved a stock repurchase program that provides for the repurchase of up to $100 million of our outstanding common stock. Subject to applicable securities laws, such repurchases will be at times and in amounts as we deem appropriate, based on factors such as market conditions, legal requirements and other corporate considerations. See the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on this program.
