NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 2, 2005

Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AMIS Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly- and majority–owned and controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial information included therein. This financial data should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2004 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Foreign Currency

The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for the Company’s operations in the Philippines. Remeasurement adjustments that result from the process of remeasuring this entity’s financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in the statement of operations.

The local currencies are the functional currencies for the Company’s fabrication facilities, sales operations and/or product design centers in Canada, Europe and Asia. Cumulative translation adjustments that result from the process of translating these entities’ financial statements into U.S. dollars are included as a component of comprehensive income.

Translation gains and losses relating to balance sheet accounts in U.S. dollars held in foreign operations with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies are recorded in the statement of operations as incurred. During the three-month period ended July 2, 2005, the Company increased the amount of U.S. dollars held in its foreign operations, resulting in a gain of $0.6 million that was recorded in general and administrative expense.

Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, such as those resulting from the settlement of transactions that are denominated in a currency other than a subsidiary’s functional currency, are included in the correlating line of the statement of operations. Below is a summary of the net effect of foreign currency on each line of the statement of operations (in millions):


	Three Months Ended:			Six Months Ended:
	July 2, 2005			July 2, 2005

Revenue	$	1.2		$	1.2

Cost of revenue		0.7			0.7

Research and development		(0.2	)		(0.2	)

Marketing and selling		0.1			0.1

General and administrative		(0.3	)		(0.3	)


Total	$	0.9		$	0.9

The effects of foreign currency on the statement of operations in the three- and six-month periods ended June 26, 2004 were immaterial.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” and FASB Statement No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements,” and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. The provisions of SFAS No. 154 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 154 to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the measurement of all employee share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, using a fair-value-based method and the recording of such expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Securities and Exchange Commission Release number 33-8568, “Amendment to Rule 4-01(a) of Regulation S-X Regarding the Compliance Date for Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment” has made the effective date the beginning of the first fiscal year after June 15, 2005. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 123R in the first quarter of 2006. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS No. 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. See “Stock-Based Compensation” in Note 2 for the pro forma net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share amounts, for the three and six months ended July 2, 2005 and June 26, 2004, as if the Company had used a fair-value-based method similar to the methods required under SFAS No. 123R to measure compensation expense for employee stock incentive awards. Because SFAS No. 123R provides for the use of differing valuation models and other required estimates such as an estimate of future forfeitures, the Company has not yet determined whether the adoption of SFAS No. 123R will result in amounts that are similar to or different from the current pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123R also provides for optional modified prospective or modified retrospective adoption. The Company has not yet made a determination on which adoption method it will choose. Management is currently evaluating these and other requirements under SFAS No. 123R and expects the adoption to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, although it will have no impact on the Company’s overall financial position.

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 109-2 (“FAS 109-2”), “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creations Act of 2004.” The American Jobs Creation Act introduces a limited time 85% dividends received deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to a U.S. taxpayer (repatriation provision), provided certain criteria are met. FAS 109-2 provides accounting and disclosure guidance for the repatriation provision. The Company is considering whether to repatriate a portion of its unremitted foreign earnings during 2005. See note 5 below for further discussion.

Note 2: Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has elected to follow the intrinsic value-based method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” (APB 25) and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options rather than adopting the alternative fair value accounting provided for under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS 123).

In the following pro forma presentation, stock compensation expense for options and/or warrants granted to non-employees has been determined in accordance with SFAS 123 and the Emerging Issues Task Force consensus on Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services” (EITF 96-18).

The following table provides pro forma information for the three- and six- month periods ended July 2, 2005 and June 26, 2004 that illustrates the net income (loss) and net income (loss) per common share as if the fair value method had been adopted under SFAS No. 123 (in millions, except per share data).

Finished goods		17.9		19.0

	$	54.1	$	52.2

Note 4: Net Income per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share also includes the effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of stock options and warrants, if the effect of their inclusion is dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share (in millions):


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	July 2,		June 26,		July 2,		June 26,
	2005		2004		2005		2004

Numerator(Basic and Diluted):
Net income	$	11.3	$	15.4	$	0.2	$	28.9
Denominator:
Weighted average shares outstanding-basic		85.6		82.5		85.4		82.3
Stock options and warrants (treasury stock method)		2.3		3.8		2.5		4.0

Weighted average shares outstanding-diluted		87.9		86.3		87.9		86.3

Options to purchase 2.9 million and 0.5 million shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 4.6 million shares of common stock were outstanding at July 2, 2005 and June 26, 2004, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the effect would be antidilutive.

For the six months ended July 2, 2005, upon exercise of stock options, warrants and the issuance of shares under the employee stock purchase plan, 0.7 million, 0.1 million and 0.2 million shares of common stock were issued, respectively.

Note 5: Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded based on the liability method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the Company’s deferred tax asset to an amount determined to be more likely than not to be realized, based on management’s analyses of past operating results, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and projected taxable income, including tax strategies available to generate future taxable income. Based on projections of taxable income for the remainder of 2005 and for future periods, during the three- and six-month periods ended July 2, 2005, the Company reversed approximately $1.6 million and $3.1 million, respectively, of the valuation allowance. During the three months ended July 2, 2005, the Company recorded a charge of $2.3 million, or $0.03 per fully diluted share, to reduce its deferred tax asset to reflect a change in its estimated U.S. statutory tax rate from 41% to 39%. This statutory tax rate change is a result of a decrease in the Company’s estimated blended state tax rate from 6% to 4%, based upon the apportionment of its income to states in which the Company does business, net of the deduction for federal income tax purposes. Management’s analyses of future taxable income are subject to a wide range of variables, many of which involve estimates and, therefore, the Company’s deferred tax asset may not be ultimately realized in full.

During 2005, the Company may repatriate a portion of the unremitted pre-tax earnings of certain of its foreign subsidiaries, and take advantage of lower tax rates allowed under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (AJCA). The AJCA provides a temporary incentive for United States corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned in foreign jurisdictions. However, the incentive is subject to a number of limitations and some uncertainty remains about the way to interpret certain provisions in the Act. Due to these factors and the possibility of using cash from foreign entities in completing its recently announced acquisition of the semiconductor division of Flextronics International USA Inc. (see Note 13 below), the Company has not yet completed its analysis as to whether, and to what extent, it might repatriate foreign earnings that have not yet been remitted to the United States. Based upon its current analysis, the Company may repatriate from zero to $40.0 million, with related estimated income tax expense and liability of between zero and $6.0 million in 2005. The Company intends to finalize its assessment after the details of the Flextronics acquisition are finalized and after completing its analysis of recent clarifications to key elements of the repatriation provision.

Note 6: Long-Term Debt

The Company and AMI Semiconductor, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, maintain senior secured credit facilities consisting of a senior secured term loan and a revolving credit facility.

On March 2, 2005, AMI Semiconductor, Inc. announced a tender offer for its 10³/4% senior subordinated notes as well as a refinancing of the existing $125.0 million senior secured term loan and $90.0 million revolving credit facility. On April 1, 2005, 100% of the outstanding notes had been repurchased and the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes was discharged. Proceeds from a new senior secured term loan of $210.0 million, entered into on April 1, 2005, and existing cash of $75.8 million were used to purchase the outstanding notes for $130.0 million, pay a premium on the notes and expenses associated with the tender of $28.0 million in the aggregate, which is recorded in other expense on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations, repay the outstanding balance of the previous senior secured term loan of $123.2 million, with the remainder used to pay accrued interest on the notes and the previous senior secured term loan and pay expenses related to the refinancing of the senior credit facilities. As a result of these transactions, total debt was reduced by $43.2 million. In conjunction with the refinancing, the Company recorded a charge of $6.8 million in other expense on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations in the first quarter of 2005 for the write off of deferred financing and other costs associated with the notes and the previous senior credit facilities. In addition, the Company recorded $2.9 million in deferred financing costs related to the new

senior credit facility, included in other long-term assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, which will be amortized over the term of the senior credit facilities.

The new senior credit facilities consist of the new senior secured term loan and a $90.0 million revolving credit facility, of which $0.3 million was allocated to a letter of credit as of July 2, 2005. The senior secured term loan requires a principal payment of $0.5 million, together with accrued and unpaid interest, on the last day of March, June, September and December, with the balance due on April 1, 2012. The interest rate on the senior secured term loan at July 2, 2005 was 4.64%. The revolving credit facility ($40.0 million of which may be in the form of letters of credit) is available for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The facilities require the Company to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio and contains certain other nonfinancial covenants, all as defined within the credit agreement. The facilities also generally restrict payment of dividends to parties outside of the consolidated entity. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of July 2, 2005.

During January 2005 one of the Company’s subsidiaries, AMI Semiconductor Belgium, BVBA obtained a Letter of Credit in association with the planned relocation to a new facility in the Philippines. The Letter of Credit is for $6.0 million, of which $3.0 million is collateralized with a cash deposit recorded as restricted cash in other assets on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The face value of the Letter of Credit decreases every six months beginning June 30, 2006 by $0.2 million for 15 years and the $3.0 million of collateral is reduced by the same amount until fully eliminated in 7.5 years. The bank issuing the Letter of Credit has the right to create a mortgage on the real property of AMI Semiconductor Belgium, BVBA as additional collateral, which had not been done as of July 2, 2005.

Note 7: Financial Instruments

As of July 2, 2005, the Company had a zero-cost foreign exchange collar contract, which ensures conversion of€3,900,000 in the third quarter of 2005 at a rate of no less than $1.20 and no more than $1.30 per€1, should the weighted averages of euro income translation fall outside of that range. At July 2, 2005, the fair value of the zero-cost collar contract was immaterial to the accompanying financial statements.

As of June 26, 2004, the Company had a zero-cost foreign exchange collar contract, which ensured conversion of€3,700,000 in the third quarter of 2004 at a rate of no less than $1.16 and no more than $1.1875 per€1, should the weighted averages of euro income translation fall outside of that range. At June 26, 2004, the fair value of the zero-cost collar contract was immaterial to the accompanying financial statements.

Note 9: Restructuring and Impairment Charges

Pursuant to FASB Statement 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” in 2004 and 2003, senior management and the Board of Directors approved plans to restructure certain of the Company’s operations.

The 2004 plan involved the consolidation of sort operations in the United States and Belgium to the Philippines, the move of certain offices to lower cost locations and the termination of certain employees. The objectives of the plan were to increase the competitiveness of the Company and manage costs during the current period of end-market weakness. In total, approximately 110 employees in the United States and Belgium were terminated as part of this program. Such terminations affected virtually all departments within the Company’s business. All terminated employees were notified in the period in which the charge was recorded. Expenses related to the plan totaled approximately $9.2 million as of July 2, 2005, of which $1.3 million was recorded in the first six months of 2005. As of July 2, 2005, approximately $6.3 million had been paid out. The remaining accrual of approximately $2.9 million is included in accrued expenses on the accompanying balance sheet at July 2, 2005 and is expected to be paid out in 2005. Additional expenses are expected to be incurred during 2005 relating to this plan primarily related to the relocation of the facilities and other severance benefits.

The 2003 plan involved the termination of certain management and other employees as well as certain sales representative firms in the United States. Internal sales employees replaced these sales representative firms. In total, 32 employees, from various departments within the Company, were terminated as part of this program. All terminated employees and sales representative firms were notified in the period in which the charge was recorded. Expenses related to the plan totaled approximately $1.7 million, which includes $0.6 million related to the accelerated vesting on certain options making them immediately exercisable upon termination. As of July 2, 2005, approximately $1.0 million had been paid out related to this plan. The remaining accrual relating to the 2003 plan of approximately $0.1 million is included in accrued expenses on the accompanying balance sheet as of July 2, 2005 and is expected to be paid in 2005.

Following is a summary of the restructuring accrual relating to the 2004 and 2003 plans (in millions):

Note 11: Contingencies

In 2004 the Company produced parts for a customer that the customer incorporated into its product that it shipped to its customers. After experiencing a number of product failures, the customer initiated a recall of its product. In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company accrued a charge of $1.1 million to cover the cost of replacing the parts in the recalled products. The customer has asserted that the Company is liable for additional costs associated with the recall. Management believes the Company is not liable for any additional costs and is currently discussing the matter with the customer. Since the product recall is ongoing, management is not able to estimate a range of potential additional costs that may be incurred. However, management believes that the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, operating results or cash flows.

Note 12: Segment Reporting

Note 13: Acquisitions

On June 15, 2005, the Company entered into a binding letter of intent to purchase substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of the semiconductor division of Flextronics International USA Inc. for approximately $135.0 million in cash. The semiconductor division of Flextronics specializes in custom mixed-signal products, imaging sensors and digital application specific integrated circuits including field programmable gate array conversion products. The proposed sale, structured as an asset purchase, includes these three divisions, which collectively employ approximately 170 people in the United States, the Netherlands and Israel. The Company intends to increase its existing senior secured term loan by $110.0 million and use existing cash to finance this acquisition, and will seek to amend its existing credit facility in order to permit the acquisition and new indebtedness. The Company has paid a $5.0 million non-

refundable deposit to Flextronics in association with this acquisition. Such deposit will be applied to the purchase price upon closing of the acquisition. The acquisition is expected to close during the third quarter of 2005.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein. Except for the historical information contained herein, the discussions in this section contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. For example, the “Outlook” section below contains numerous forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed below. See “Factors That May Affect Our Business and Future Results” for a discussion of these risks and uncertainties. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “our,” “us” and “the company” refer to AMIS Holdings, Inc. and consolidated subsidiaries; and references to “AMI Semiconductor” and “AMIS” refer to AMI Semiconductor, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the company.

Overview

We are a leader in the design and manufacture of customer specific integrated analog mixed signal semiconductor products. We focus on the automotive, medical and industrial markets, which have many products with significant real world, or analog, interface requirements. We have organized our business into three operating segments: integrated mixed signal products, structured digital products and mixed signal foundry services. Through these segments, we serve our target markets of automotive, medical and industrial. These target markets accounted for 66% of total revenues in the second quarter of 2005. Integrated mixed signal products combine analog and digital functions on a single chip to form a customer defined system-level solution. Structured digital products, which involve the conversion of higher cost programmable digital logic integrated circuits into lower cost digital custom integrated circuits, provide us with growth opportunities and digital design expertise, which we use to support the design of system solutions for customers in our target markets. Mixed signal foundry services, which offers foundry services to other semiconductor designers and manufacturers, provide us with an opportunity to further penetrate our target markets with our products and increase the utilization of our fabrication facilities.

When evaluating our business, we generally look at financial measures such as revenue, gross margins and operating margins. We also use internal tracking measures, such as projected three-year revenue from design wins and the capacity utilization of our fabrication facilities. Design win activity has been strong in 2005; however, we are experiencing a low level of capacity utilization in 2005. Capacity utilization was 67% in the second quarter of 2005. Capacity utilization is a measure of the degree to which our manufacturing assets are being used and, correspondingly, our ability to absorb our fixed manufacturing costs into inventory. Our gross margins could be negatively impacted in the future if capacity utilization declines further. Other key metrics we use to analyze our business include days sales outstanding (DSO) and inventory turns. DSO was 58 days in the second quarter of 2005, which is one day better than the first quarter of 2005. Inventory turns increased to 4.2 in the second quarter of 2005 from 4.1 in the first quarter of 2005.

In November 2004, we acquired substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Dspfactory Ltd., a leader in ultra-low power digital signal processing technology for digital hearing aids and other low power applications. Results of operations for the first six months of 2005 fully include this business and results for the first six months of 2004 do not include this business.

Results of Operations

Three- and six-month periods ended July 2, 2005 compared to the three- and six-month periods ended June 26, 2004

Revenue

Revenue in the second quarter and first six months of 2005 decreased 9% and 9% to $122.5 million and $238.4 million, respectively, from $134.5 million and $262.8 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2004, respectively. The decreases were primarily due to broad-based weakness in market conditions across our adjacent markets, particularly communications. In the second quarter and first six

months of 2004, $8.1 million and $17.6 million, respectively, related to communications revenues received from STMicroelectronics under a take-or-pay arrangement that expired in June 2004. Minimal revenues from STMicroelectronics were recorded in the second quarter and first six months of 2005. Second quarter and the first six months of 2005 revenues include those from the Dspfactory acquisition.

Integrated mixed signal revenue for the second quarter and first six months of 2005 increased 3% and 5% to $75.9 million and $149.6 million, respectively, from $73.3 million and $142.0 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2004, respectively. The increases were primarily due to the incremental revenues from the Dspfactory acquisition, which helped grow our medical revenues in this segment 142% in the second quarter of 2005 over the second quarter of 2004. During the first six months of 2005, this segment saw an increase in average selling prices, due to product mix improvements, including the increase in medical revenues described above. This was partially offset by a decrease in unit volume sold.

Structured digital products revenue in the second quarter and first six months of 2005 decreased 11% and 10% to $27.0 million and $52.8 million, respectively, from $30.5 million and $58.5 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2004, respectively. These decreases were primarily due to lower revenue from the overall market softness in the communications end market, partially offset by increased revenue in the defense end market. For the first six months of 2005, this segment saw a decrease in average selling prices due to changes in product mix, but an increase in unit volume sold.

Mixed signal foundry services revenue for the second quarter and first six months of 2005 decreased 36% and 42% to $19.6 million and $36.0 million, respectively, from $30.7 million and $62.3 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2004, respectively. These decreases were primarily due to decreased sales to STMicroelectronics as a result of the expiration of the take-or-pay arrangement in June 2004. Additionally, this segment experienced decreases in the computing, consumer and medical end markets in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, as compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2004. During the first six months of 2005, this segment experienced a decrease in unit volumes sold, due to the expiration of the take-or-pay agreement, but an increase in average selling prices due to improved product mix.

The following table represents our regional revenue:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	July 2, 2005			June 26, 2004			July 2, 2005			June 26, 2004

North America		43.0	%		43.3	%		42.1	%		42.2	%

Europe		38.7	%		41.8	%		41.2	%		41.8	%

Asia		18.3	%		14.9	%		16.7	%		16.0	%

		100.0	%		100.0	%		100.0	%		100.0	%

Gross Profit

Cost of revenue consists primarily of purchased materials, labor and overhead (including depreciation) associated with the design and manufacture of products sold. Costs related to non-recurring engineering fees are included in cost of revenue to the extent that they are reimbursed by our customers under a development arrangement. Costs associated with unfunded non-recurring engineering are classified as research and development because we typically retain ownership of the proprietary rights to intellectual property that has been developed in connection with non-recurring engineering work. Gross profit decreased to $60.2 million and $113.9 million, or 49.1% and 47.8% of revenue, in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, respectively, from $63.1 million and $122.1 million, or 46.9% and 46.5% of revenue, in the second quarter and first six months of 2004, respectively. Gross profit margin for the second quarter and first six months of 2005 was improved by a $2.8 million net reduction to cost of revenue, primarily associated with a capital spending and employment investment grant from the Belgian government. These increases in gross profit margin were also impacted by an increased percentage of higher margin products in the mix of the products we sold partially offset by lower fixed manufacturing cost absorption due to lower factory utilization. During the first six months of 2005, mixed signal foundry revenues as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 15.1% from 23.7% in the first six months of 2004. This helped to increase our overall gross profit margin, as margins in our mixed signal foundry segment are generally lower than the company average.

Operating Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of activities related to process engineering, cost of design tools, investments in development libraries, technology license agreements and product development. Research and development expenses increased to $21.8 million and $42.7 million, or 17.8% and 17.9% of revenue, in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, respectively, from $18.7 million and $38.3 million, or 13.9% and 14.6% of revenue, in the second quarter and first six months of 2004, respectively. These increases were primarily attributable to expenses related to increased design wins and the associated non-customer funded expenses, as well as incremental expense from the Dspfactory acquisition.

Marketing and selling expenses consist primarily of commissions to sales representatives, salaries and commissions of sales and marketing personnel and advertising and communication costs. Marketing and selling expenses decreased to $10.5 million and $20.2 million, or 8.6% and 8.5% of revenue, in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, respectively, compared to $10.8 million and $21.3 million, or 8.0% and 8.1% of revenue, in the second quarter and first six months of 2004, respectively. These decreases were primarily due to decreased commissions associated with lower sales levels.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries of our administrative staff, professional fees related to audit and tax services and advisory fees for various consulting projects. General and administrative expenses decreased to $6.4 million and $12.9 million, or 5.2% and 5.4% of revenue, in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, respectively, compared to $8.2 million and $14.8 million, or 6.1% and 5.6% of revenue, in the second quarter and first six months of 2004, respectively. These decreases were primarily due to lower consulting fees in 2005 as compared to 2004.

Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets increased to $1.2 million and $2.4 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, respectively, compared with $0.2 million and $0.3 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2004, respectively. These increases were due to higher amortization expense in 2005 related to amortization of intangible assets associated with the Dspfactory acquisition.

We recorded $1.0 million and $1.3 million in restructuring charges in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, respectively, with no comparable charges in the second quarter or first six months of 2004. These amounts include charges for employee severance and other items as a result of our restructuring program announced in the fourth quarter of 2004. This program includes headcount reductions related to the consolidation of our sort operations in the United States and Belgium to the Philippines as well as other reductions in force resulting from cost containment measures. We expect to realize approximately $4.0 million per quarter in cost savings as a result of this action by the fourth quarter of 2005. Additional charges are expected to be incurred in the remainder of 2005, totaling $2.0 million to $4.0 million for the year.

Operating Income

Operating income decreased to $19.3 million and $34.4 million, or 15.8% and 14.4% of revenue, in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, respectively, compared with $25.2 million and $47.4 million, or 18.7% and 18.0% of revenue, in the second quarter and first six months of 2004, respectively. Following is a discussion of operating income by segment.

Integrated mixed signal products operating income decreased to $8.4 million and $13.7 million, or 11.1% and 9.2% of segment revenue, in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, respectively, from $13.0 million and $25.8 million, or 17.7% and 18.2% of segment revenue, in the second quarter and first six months of 2004, respectively. These decreases were primarily attributable to lower capacity utilization, which resulted in higher per unit product costs, as well as an increase in R&D investment, including incremental expense from the Dspfactory acquisition. These decreases were offset by a share of the net reduction to cost of revenue, primarily associated with a capital spending and employment investment grant from the Belgian government discussed above.

Structured digital products operating income increased to $6.5 million and $12.6 million, or 24.1% and 23.9% of segment revenue, in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, respectively, from $5.9 million and $10.1 million, or 19.3% and 17.3% of segment revenue, in the second quarter and first six

months of 2004, respectively. These increases were primarily attributable to lower operating expenses due to cost reductions and shifting of research and development investment focus to the integrated mixed signal business.

Mixed signal foundry services operating income decreased to $5.4 million and $9.4 million, or 27.6% and 26.1% of segment revenue, in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, respectively, from $6.3 million and $11.5 million, or 20.5% and 18.5% of segment revenue, in the second quarter and first six months of 2004, respectively. These decreases were primarily due to lower revenue levels and higher product costs. These decreases were offset by a share of the net reduction to cost of revenue, primarily associated with a capital spending and employment investment grant from the Belgian government discussed above.

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense for the second quarter and first six months of 2005 decreased to $2.1 million and $6.7 million, respectively, compared with $4.7 million and $9.1 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2004, respectively. The lower net interest expense amounts were primarily attributable to the tender offer and redemption of our 10-3/4% senior subordinated notes during the first quarter of 2005.

Other Expense

Other expense decreased slightly in the second quarter of 2005 to $0.1 million from $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2004. Other expense in the first six months of 2005 increased to $34.9 million from $0.6 million in the first six months of 2004. This increase was primarily due to a charge of $28.0 million associated with the tender offer and redemption of our 10 -3/4% senior subordinated notes and a charge of $6.8 million for the write-off of deferred financing and other costs associated with our prior senior credit facility and senior subordinated notes, which is described in further detail below in “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $5.8 million and a benefit of $7.4 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, respectively, compared with an income tax expense of $4.9 million and $8.8 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2004, respectively. The effective tax rate was 33.9% in the second quarter of 2005, compared to 24.1% in the second quarter of 2004. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2005 was not a meaningful number. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2005 was impacted by a large loss in the U.S. related to our debt refinancing activities in the first quarter, while income was recorded in jurisdictions with lower statutory tax rates. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2004 was 23.3%. During the second quarter of 2005, we incurred a $2.3 million tax charge to reduce our deferred tax assets to reflect a change in our estimated U.S. statutory tax rate from 41% to 39%. This statutory tax rate change is a result of a decrease in our estimated blended state tax rate from 6% to 4%, based upon the apportionment of our income to states in which we doe business, net of our deduction for federal income tax purposes. In addition, we have reduced our deferred tax assets through the use of a valuation allowance to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. Based on projections of taxable income for the remainder of 2005 and future periods, we reversed approximately $1.6 million and $3.1 million of valuation allowance during the second quarter and first six months of 2005, respectively. We will continue to evaluate the need to increase or decrease the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets based upon the anticipated pre-tax operating results of future periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal cash requirements are to fund working capital needs, meet required debt payments, including debt service payments on our senior credit facilities, complete planned maintenance of equipment and equip our fabrication facilities. We anticipate that cash flow from operations, together with available borrowings under our revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to meet working capital, interest payment requirements on our debt obligations and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. Although we believe these resources may also meet our liquidity needs beyond that period, the adequacy of these resources will depend on our growth, semiconductor industry conditions and the capital expenditures necessary to support capacity and technology improvements.

We intend to increase our existing senior secured term loan by $110.0 million, in addition to using existing cash, to finance the acquisition of the semiconductor division of Flextronics International USA Inc. In addition, we will be required to amend our senior credit facilities to permit the acquisition and the new indebtedness. (see note 13 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion), The acquisition is expected to close during the third quarter of 2005.

On March 2, 2005, we announced a tender offer for our 10 -3/4% senior subordinated notes as well as a refinancing of the existing $125.0 million senior secured term loan and $90.0 million revolving credit facility. On April 1, 2005, 100% of the outstanding notes had been repurchased and the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes was discharged. Proceeds from a new senior secured term loan of $210.0 million, entered into on April 1, 2005, and existing cash of $75.8 million were used to purchase the outstanding notes for $130.0 million, pay a premium on the notes and expenses associated with the tender of $28.0 million in the aggregate, which is recorded in other expense on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations, repay the outstanding balance of the previous senior secured term loan of $123.2 million, with the remainder used to pay accrued interest on the notes and the previous senior secured term loan and pay expenses related to the refinancing of our senior credit facilities. As a result of these transactions, total debt was reduced by $43.2 million. In conjunction with the refinancing, we recorded a charge of $6.8 million in other expense on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations in the first quarter of 2005 for the write off of deferred financing and other costs associated with the notes and the previous senior credit facilities. In addition, we recorded $2.9 million in deferred financing costs related to the new senior credit facility, included in other long-term assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, which will be amortized over the term of the senior credit facilities.

The facilities require us to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio and contains certain other nonfinancial covenants, all as defined within the credit agreement. The facilities also generally restrict payment of dividends to parties outside of the consolidated entity. We were in compliance with these covenants as of July 2, 2005. We anticipate continuing to be in compliance with these covenants in the third quarter of 2005.

During June 2005, we converted a portion of our cash held by European entities from euros to U.S. dollars in order to avoid cash balance fluctuations resulting from changes in the euro exchange rate.

We used $8.3 million in cash for operating activities in the first six months of 2005, compared to generating $27.8 million in cash from operating activities in the first six months of 2004. This decrease was primarily due to costs associated with the tender offer and redemption of our 10-3/4% senior subordinated notes during the first quarter of 2005 and other working capital changes.

Other significant sources and uses of cash can be divided into investing activities and financing activities. During the first six months of 2005 and 2004, we invested in capital equipment in the amounts of $14.1 million and $16.2 million, respectively. See “Capital Expenditures” below. During the first six months of 2005 we also paid a deposit of $5.0 million related to our potential acquisition of the semiconductor division of Flextronics International USA, Inc.

During the first six months of 2005, we used net cash from financing activities of $44.8 million, due primarily to lowering our long-term debt by $43.2 million in conjunction with the tender offer and redemption of our 10-3/4% senior subordinated notes and the refinancing of our senior credit facilities, offset partially by the issuance of common stock upon exercise of stock options. During the first six months of

2004, we generated net cash from financing activities of $0.2 million, primarily as a result of the issuance of common stock upon exercise of stock options.

Capital Expenditures

During the first six months of 2005, we spent $14.1 million for capital expenditures, compared with $16.2 million in the first six months of 2004. Capital expenditures for the first six months of 2005 focused on transferring our wafer sort operations in the United States and Belgium to a new facility in the Philippines. Our test operations in the Philippines are also currently being relocated to this new facility. Total capital expenditures for 2005 are expected to be approximately seven percent of revenue for the year. Our annual capital expenditures are limited by the terms of the senior credit facilities. We believe we have adequate capacity under the senior credit facilities to make planned capital expenditures.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures. We have identified revenue recognition, inventories, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, goodwill, income taxes and stock options as areas involving critical accounting policies and the most significant judgments and estimates.

We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our experience and assumptions form the basis for our judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may vary from what we anticipate and different assumptions or estimates about the future could change our reported results. We believe the following accounting policies are the most critical to us, in that they are important to the portrayal of our financial statements and they require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments in the preparation of our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Several criteria must be met before we can recognize revenue from our products and revenue relating to engineering design and product development. We must apply our judgment in determining when revenue recognition criteria are met.

We recognize revenue from products sold directly to end customers when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed and determinable, shipment is made and collectibility is reasonably assured. In certain situations, we ship products through freight forwarders where title does not pass until product is shipped from the freight forwarder. In other situations, by contract, title does not pass until the product is received by the customer. In both cases, revenue and related gross profit are not recognized until title passes to the customer. Estimates of product returns and allowances, based on actual historical experience, are recorded at the time revenue is recognized and are deducted from revenue.

Revenue from contracts to perform engineering design and product development are recognized as milestones are achieved, which approximates the percentage-of-completion method. Costs associated with such contracts are expensed as incurred. A typical milestone billing structure is 40% at the start of the project, 40% at the creation of the reticle set and 20% upon delivery of the prototypes.

Since up to 40% of revenue is billed and recognized at the start of the design development work and, therefore, could result in the acceleration of revenue recognition, we analyze those billings and the status of in-process design development projects at the end of each reporting period in order to determine that the milestone billings approximate percentage-of-completion on an aggregate basis. We compare each project’s stage with the total level of effort required to complete the project, which we believe is representative of the cost-to-cost method of determining percentage-of-completion. Based on this analysis, the relatively short-term nature of our design development process and the billing and recognition of 20% of the project revenue after design development work is complete (which effectively defers 20% of the revenue recognition to the end of the contract), we believe our milestone method approximates the percentage-of-completion method in all material respects.

Our engineering design and product development contracts generally involve pre-determined amounts of revenue. We review each contract that is still in process at the end of each reporting period and estimate the cost of each activity yet to be performed under that contract. This cost determination involves our judgment and the uncertainties inherent in the design and development of integrated circuits. If we determine that our costs associated with a particular development contract exceed the revenue associated with such contract, we estimate the amount of the loss and establish a corresponding reserve.

Inventories

We generally initiate production of a majority of our semiconductors once we have received an order from a customer. Based on forecasted demand from specific customers, we may build up inventories of finished goods, in anticipation of subsequent purchase orders. We purchase and maintain raw materials at sufficient levels to meet lead times based on forecasted demand. If forecasted demand exceeds actual demand, we may need to provide an allowance for excess or obsolete quantities on hand. We provide an allowance for inventories on hand that are in excess of six to twelve months of forecasted demand. Forecasted demand is determined based on historical sales or inventory usage, expected future sales or using backlog and other projections and the nature of the inventories. We also review other inventories for indicators of impairment and provide an allowance as deemed necessary. We also provide an allowance for obsolete inventory, which is written off at the time of disposal.

We state inventories at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method) or market.

Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets

We regularly evaluate the carrying amounts of long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, as well as the related amortization periods, to determine whether adjustments to these amounts or to the useful lives are required based on current circumstances or events. The evaluation, which involves significant management judgment, is based on various analyses including cash flow and profitability projections. To the extent such projections indicate that future undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying amounts of the related long-lived assets, the carrying amount of the underlying assets will be reduced, with the reduction charged to expense so that the carrying amount is equal to fair value, primarily determined based on future discounted cash flows. To the extent such evaluation indicates that the useful lives of property, plant and equipment are different than originally estimated, the amount of future depreciation expense is modified such that the remaining net book value is depreciated over the revised remaining useful life.

Goodwill

Under the guidelines of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” we assess goodwill at least annually for impairment using fair value measurement techniques. Specifically, goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step process. The first step is to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned with the unit’s net book value (or carrying amount), including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, there is no deemed impairment of goodwill and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. However, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss, if any. The second step compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. That is, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit. We annually test our goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter. Since the inception of SFAS No. 142, our testing has not indicated any impairment.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit under the first step of the goodwill impairment test and determining the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit (including unrecognized intangible assets) under the second step of the goodwill impairment test is judgmental in nature and often

involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on whether an impairment charge is recognized, including the magnitude of any such charge. To assist in the process of determining goodwill impairment, we may obtain appraisals from independent valuation firms. In addition to the use of independent valuation firms, we perform internal valuation analyses and consider other market information that is publicly available. Estimates of fair value are primarily determined using discounted cash flows and market comparisons of recent transactions. These approaches use significant estimates and assumptions including the amount and timing of projected future cash flows, discount rates reflecting the risk inherent in the future cash flows, perpetual growth rates, determination of appropriate market comparables and the determination of whether a premium or discount should be applied to these comparables.

Income Taxes

Stock Options

We have elected to follow the intrinsic value-based method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25) and related interpretations in accounting for employee stock options rather than adopting the alternative fair value accounting provided under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Therefore, we do not record any compensation expense for stock options we grant to our employees where the exercise price equals the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant and the exercise price, number of shares eligible for issuance under the options and vesting period are fixed. Deferred stock-based compensation is recorded when stock options are granted to employees at exercise prices less than the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock on the grant date. Historically, we generally determined the estimated fair value of our common stock based on independent valuations. We comply with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148, which require that we disclose our pro forma net income or loss and net income or loss per common share as if we had expensed the fair value of the options in determining net income or loss. In calculating such fair value, there are certain assumptions that we use, as disclosed in our consolidated financial statements, included in our annual report on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” and FASB Statement No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements,” and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. The provisions of SFAS No. 154 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 154 to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

of Regulation S-X Regarding the Compliance Date for Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment” has made the effective date the beginning of the first fiscal year after June 15, 2005. We are required to adopt SFAS No. 123R in the first quarter of 2006. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS No. 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. See “Stock-Based Compensation” in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the pro forma net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share amounts, for the three and six months ended July 2, 2005 and June 26, 2004, as if we had used a fair-value-based method similar to the methods required under SFAS No. 123R to measure compensation expense for employee stock incentive awards. Because SFAS No. 123R provides for the use of differing valuation models and other required estimates such as an estimate of future forfeitures, we have not yet determined whether the adoption of SFAS No. 123R will result in amounts that are similar to or different from the current pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123R also provides for optional modified prospective or modified retrospective adoption. We have not yet made a determination on which adoption method we will choose. We are currently evaluating these and other requirements under SFAS No. 123R and expect the adoption to have a significant impact on our consolidated statements of operations, although it will have no impact on our overall financial position.

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 109-2 (“FAS 109-2”), “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creations Act of 2004.” The American Jobs Creation Act introduces a limited time 85% dividends received deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to a U.S. taxpayer (repatriation provision), provided certain criteria are met. FAS 109-2 provides accounting and disclosure guidance for the repatriation provision. We are considering whether to repatriate a portion of our unremitted foreign earnings during 2005. See note 5 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion.

Contractual Obligations and Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

As of July 2, 2005, other than a $0.3 million letter of credit, operating leases for certain equipment and real estate, purchase agreements for certain chemicals, raw materials and services at fixed prices or similar instruments we have no off-balance sheet transactions and we are not a guarantor of any other entities’ debt or other financial obligations. There were no significant changes to our contractual obligations and contingent liabilities and commitments from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, except for the consummation of certain technology license agreements, which require aggregate future payments of $6.8 million over the next five years.

Outlook

We expect third quarter 2005 revenue to be flat to up three percent as compared to second quarter 2005. We anticipate third quarter 2005 gross margins to be between 47% and 48%. We expect operating margins, excluding anticipated restructuring charges and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of approximately $1.5 million to $2.0 million, to be between 15.5% and 16.5%. Depreciation and amortization is expected to be about $12.0 million in the third quarter of 2005.

Factors that May Affect our Business and Future Results

The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also adversely affect our business.

Risks Relating to Our Company and the Semiconductor Industry

The cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry may limit our ability to maintain or increase revenue and profit levels, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

The semiconductor industry is cyclical and our ability to respond to downturns is limited. The semiconductor industry experienced the effects of a significant downturn that began in late 2000 and continued into 2003. Our business was impacted by this downturn. During this downturn, our financial performance was negatively affected by various factors, including general reductions in inventory levels by

customers and excess production capacity. In addition, our bookings and backlog decreased during the second half of 2004, as compared to the first half of 2004. This resulted in lower revenue levels in the second half of 2004, which continued into the first half of 2005. Six month backlog as of July 2, 2005 was roughly flat as compared to December 31, 2004. We cannot predict how long the current soft bookings environment will persist or to what extent business conditions will change in the future. If the soft bookings environment persists, or business conditions change for the worse in the future, these events would materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

During industry downturns and for other reasons, we may need to record impairment or restructuring charges. We have incurred impairment or restructuring charges in each of the last three fiscal years. We eliminated approximately 110 employee positions during the fourth quarter of 2004 and recorded $7.9 million in related restructuring charges. During 2005 we began relocating our test operations to a new larger facility in the Philippines and are in the process of transferring our wafer sort operations in Pocatello, Idaho and Oudenaarde, Belgium to that new facility. These changes will result in additional restructuring charges in 2005, which are expected to total approximately $2.0 million to $4.0 million, of which $1.3 million has been recorded in the first six months of 2005. In 2003 we recorded $21.7 million in impairment charges and restructuring charges related to the impairment of an intangible asset, employee severance and the termination of relationships with certain sales representative firms. In the future, we may need to record additional impairment charges or further restructure our business and incur additional restructuring charges, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition if they are large enough.

Due to our relatively fixed cost structure, our margins will be adversely affected if we experience a significant decline in customer orders.

We make significant decisions, including determining the levels of business that we will seek and accept, production schedules, component procurement commitments, personnel needs and other resource requirements, based on our estimates of customer requirements. The short-term nature of commitments by many of our customers and the possibility of rapid changes in demand for their products reduces our ability to accurately estimate future customer requirements. On occasion, customers may require rapid increases in production, which can challenge our resources, reduce margins or harm our relationships with our customers. We may not have sufficient capacity at any given time to meet our customers’ demands. Conversely, downturns in the semiconductor industry, such as the downturn that commenced late in 2000 and ended in 2003, can and have caused our customers to significantly reduce the amount of products ordered from us. In addition, we experienced a decrease in orders in the third and fourth quarters of 2004 due to general declines in the industry and an inventory policy change with one of our major medical customers. After a modest increase in orders in the first quarter of 2005, we experienced another decrease in orders in the second quarter of 2005. These decreases in orders are now negatively impacting our gross margins. Reductions in customer orders have caused our wafer fabrication capacity to be under-utilized. Because many of our costs and operating expenses are relatively fixed, a reduction in customer demand has an adverse effect on our gross margins and operating income. Reduction of customer demand also causes a decrease in our backlog. There is also a higher risk that our trade receivables will be uncollectible during industry downturns or downturns in the economy. Any one or more of these events could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

A significant portion of our revenue comes from a relatively limited number of customers and devices, the loss of which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

If we lose major customers or if customers cease to place orders for our high volume devices, our financial results will be adversely affected. While we served more than 380 customers in the first six months of 2005, sales to our 16 largest customers represented 50.3% of our revenue during this period. The identities of our principal customers have varied from year to year and our principal customers may not continue to purchase products and services from us at current levels, or at all. In addition, while we sold over 1,650 different products in the first six months of 2005, the 87 top selling devices represented 50% of our revenue during this period. The devices generating the greatest revenue have varied from year to year and our customers may not continue to place orders for such devices from us at current levels, or at all. Significant reductions in sales to any of these customers, the loss of major customers or the curtailment of orders for our high volume devices within a short period of time would adversely affect our business.

Our customers may cancel their orders, change production quantities or delay production, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We generally do not obtain firm, long-term purchase commitments from our customers. Customers may cancel their orders, change production quantities or delay production for a number of reasons. Cancellations, reductions or delays by a significant customer or by a group of customers, which we have experienced as a result of the recent downturn in the semiconductor industry, have adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, while we do not obtain long-term purchase commitments, we generally agree to the pricing of a particular product for the entire lifecycle of the product, which can extend over a number of years. If we underestimate our costs when determining the pricing, our margins and results of operations will be adversely affected.

We may not be able to sell the inventories of products on hand, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

In preparation for the move of our test facilities in the Philippines and the consolidation of our sort facilities in Belgium and the United States into the new facility in the Philippines, we have built up inventories of certain products in an effort to mitigate or prevent any interruption of product deliveries to our customers. In many instances, we have manufactured these products without having first received orders for them from our customers. Because our products are typically designed for a specific customer and are not commodity products, if customers do not place orders for the products we have built, we may not be able to sell them and we may need to record reserves against the valuation of this inventory. If these events occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our results and financial condition.

We depend on our key personnel, and the loss of these personnel could have a material effect on our business.

Our success depends to a large extent upon the continued services of our chief executive officer, Christine King, and our other key executives, managers and skilled personnel, particularly our design engineers. During July 2005, we signed a new employment agreement with Ms. King that expires on December 31, 2008. Generally our employees are not bound by employment or non-competition agreements and we cannot assure you that we will retain our key executives and employees. We may or may not be able to continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel necessary for our business. Loss of the services of, or failure to recruit, skilled personnel could be significantly detrimental to our product development programs or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business.

We depend on successful technological advances for growth, and a lack of such advances could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our industry is subject to rapid technological change as customers and competitors create new and innovative products and technologies. We may not be able to access leading edge process technologies or to license or otherwise obtain essential intellectual property required by our customers. If we are unable to continue manufacturing technologically advanced products on a cost-effective basis, our business would be adversely affected.

We depend on growth in the end markets that use our products, and a lack of growth in these markets could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Our continued success will depend in large part on the growth of various industries that use semiconductors, including our target automotive, medical and industrial markets, as well as the communications, military and computing markets, and on general economic growth. Factors affecting these markets as a whole could seriously harm our customers and, as a result, harm us. These factors include:

	•		recessionary periods or periods of reduced growth in our customers’ markets;

	•		the inability of our customers to adapt to rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards;

	•		the potential that our customers’ products may become obsolete or the failure of our customers’ products to gain widespread commercial acceptance; and

•

the possibility of reduced consumer demand for our customers’ products.

Our industry is highly competitive, and a failure to successfully compete could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

The semiconductor industry is highly competitive and includes hundreds of companies, a number of which have achieved substantial market share. Current and prospective customers for our custom products evaluate our capabilities against the merits of our direct competitors, as well as the merits of continuing to use standard or semi-standard products. Some of our competitors have substantially greater market share, manufacturing, financial, research and development and marketing resources than we do. We also compete with emerging companies that are attempting to sell their products in specialized markets. We expect to experience continuing competitive pressures in our markets from existing competitors and new entrants. Our ability to compete successfully depends on a number of other factors, including the following:

	•		our ability to offer cost-effective products on a timely basis using our technologies;

	•		our ability to accurately identify emerging technological trends and demand for product features and performance characteristics;

	•		product introductions by our competitors;

	•		our ability to adopt or adapt to emerging industry standards;

	•		the number and nature of our competitors in a given market; and

	•		general market and economic conditions.

Many of these factors are outside of our control. In addition, in recent years, many participants in the industry have substantially expanded their manufacturing capacity. If overall demand for semiconductors should decrease, this increased capacity could result in substantial pricing pressure, which could adversely affect our operating results. Because our products are typically designed for a specific customer and are not commodity products, we did not decrease our prices as significantly as many other companies in the semiconductor industry to try to maintain or increase customer orders during the downturn in the semiconductor industry from 2000 through 2003, nor have we changed our pricing significantly since then. However, we cannot assure you that we will not face increased pricing pressure in the future.

We may incur costs to engage in future acquisitions of companies or technologies and the anticipated benefits of those acquisitions may never be realized, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

In June 2002 we completed our acquisition of the mixed signal business of Alcatel Microelectronics NV from STMicroelectronics NV. In September 2002 we purchased the Micro Power Products Division of Microsemi Corporation. In November 2004 we acquired substantially all of the assets of Dspfactory Ltd. On June 15, 2005, we announced that we had entered into an agreement to purchase substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of the semiconductor division of Flextronics International USA Inc. for approximately $135.0 million in cash. The agreement includes certain customary conditions to closing the transaction. These conditions may not occur. Even if they do occur and we are able to complete the acquisition, this, as well as any future acquisitions, are accompanied by risks, including the following:

	•		potential inability to maximize our financial or strategic position, which could result in impairment charges if the acquired company or assets are later worth less than the amount paid for them in the acquisition;

	•		difficulties in assimilating the operations and products of an acquired business or in realizing projected efficiencies, cost savings and revenue synergies;

	•		entry into markets or countries in which we may have limited or no experience;

	•		potential increases in our indebtedness and contingent liabilities and potential unknown liabilities associated with any such acquisition;

	•		diversion of management’s attention due to transition or integration issues;

	•		difficulties in managing multiple geographic locations;

	•		cultural impediments that could prevent establishment of good employee relations, difficulties in retaining key personnel of the acquired business and potential litigation from terminated employees; and

	•		difficulties in maintaining uniform standards, controls and procedures and information systems.

We may in the future make additional acquisitions of complementary companies or technologies. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to successfully integrate any company or technologies that we might acquire in the future and our failure to do so could harm our business. The benefits of an acquisition may take considerable time to develop and we cannot guarantee that any acquisition will in fact produce the intended benefits.

In addition, our senior credit facilities and our senior subordinated notes may prohibit us from making acquisitions that we may otherwise wish to pursue.

Risks Relating to Manufacturing

Our success depends on efficient utilization of our manufacturing capacity, and a failure could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

An important factor in our success is the extent to which we are able to utilize the available capacity in our fabrication and test facilities. Utilization rates can be negatively affected by periods of industry over- capacity, low levels of customer orders, operating inefficiencies, mechanical failures and disruption of operations due to expansion or relocation of operations and fire or other natural disasters. In addition, our agreement with STMicroelectronics terminated in June 2004 and utilization of our fabs has declined as a result. Because many of our costs are fixed, a reduction in capacity utilization, together with other factors such as yield and product mix, could adversely affect our operating results. The downturn in the semiconductor industry from 2000 to 2003 resulted in a decline in the capacity utilization at our wafer fabrication facilities. In addition, our capacity utilization for the second half of 2004 declined from the first half of 2004 and that trend has continued in the first half of 2005. If this continues, or if we enter another downturn, our wafer fabrication capacity may be under-utilized and our inability to quickly reduce fixed costs, such as depreciation and other fixed operating expenses necessary to operate our wafer manufacturing facilities, would harm our operating results.

We could be adversely affected by manufacturing interruptions or reduced yields.

The fabrication of our integrated circuits is a highly complex and precise process, requiring production in a tightly controlled, clean room environment. Minute impurities, difficulties in the fabrication process, defects in the masks used to print circuits on a wafer or other factors can cause a substantial percentage of wafers to be rejected or numerous die on each wafer to be nonfunctional. We may experience problems in achieving acceptable yields in the manufacture of semiconductors, particularly in connection with the production of a new product, the adoption of a new manufacturing process or any expansion of our manufacturing capacity and related transitions. The interruption of manufacturing, including power interruptions or the failure to achieve acceptable manufacturing yields at any of our wafer fabrication facilities, would adversely affect our business. In addition, we began moving our test operations to a new facility in the Philippines beginning in the second quarter of 2005 and we are moving our sort operations in the United States and Belgium to this new facility as well. If we experience delays or other technical or other problems during these moves, our ability to deliver products to customers may be affected.

We may face product warranty or product liability claims that are disproportionately higher than the value of the products involved, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Our products are typically sold at prices that are significantly lower than the cost of the equipment or other goods in which they are incorporated. Although we maintain rigorous quality control systems, in the ordinary course of our business we receive warranty claims for some of these products that are defective or that do not perform to specifications. Since a defect or failure in our product could give rise to failures in the goods that incorporate them (and consequential claims for damages against our customers from their customers), we may face claims for damages that are disproportionate to the revenues and profits we receive from the products involved. See note 11 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

We attempt, through our standard terms and conditions of sale and other customer contracts, to limit our liability for defective products to obligations to replace the defective goods or refund the purchase price. Nevertheless, we have received claims in the past for other charges, such as for labor and other costs of replacing defective parts, lost profits and other damages. In addition, our ability to reduce such liabilities may be limited by the laws or the customary business practices of the countries where we do business. And, even in cases where we do not believe we have legal liability for such claims, we may choose to pay for them to retain a customer’s business or goodwill or to settle claims to avoid protracted litigation. Our results of operations and business could be adversely affected as a result of a significant quality or performance issue in our products, if we are required or choose to pay for the damages that result.

We are dependent on successful outsourcing relationships, which dependence could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We have formed arrangements with other wafer fabrication foundries to supplement capacity and gain access to more advanced digital process technologies. If we experience problems with our foundry partners, we may face a shortage of finished products available for sale. We believe that in the future we will increasingly rely upon outsourced wafer manufacturing to supplement our capacity and technology. If any foundries with which we form an outsourcing arrangement, experience wafer yield problems or delivery delays, which are common in our industry, or are unable to produce silicon wafers that meet our specifications with acceptable yields, our operating results could be adversely affected.

We rely on test subcontractors, which reliance could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

The testing of semiconductors is a complex process requiring, among other things, a high degree of technical skill and advanced equipment. We are increasing our outsourcing of semiconductor testing to subcontractors, most of which are located in Southeast Asia. In particular, we plan to rely heavily on a single subcontractor for this activity. If our subcontractors experience problems in testing our semiconductor devices, our operating results would be adversely affected.

We rely on packaging subcontractors, which reliance could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Most of our products are assembled in packages prior to shipment. The packaging of semiconductors is a complex process requiring, among other things, a high degree of technical skill and advanced equipment. We outsource our semiconductor packaging to subcontractors, most of which are located in Southeast Asia. In particular, we rely heavily on a single subcontractor for packaging. We depend on these subcontractors to package our devices with acceptable quality and yield levels. If our subcontractors experience problems in packaging our semiconductor devices or experience prolonged quality or yield problems, our operating results would be adversely affected.

We depend on successful parts and materials procurement for our manufacturing processes, which dependence could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We use a wide range of parts and materials in the production of our semiconductors, including silicon, processing chemicals, processing gases, precious metals and electronic and mechanical components. We procure materials and electronic and mechanical components from domestic and foreign sources and original equipment manufacturers. However, there is no assurance that, if we have difficulty in supply due

to an unforeseen catastrophe, worldwide shortage or other reason, alternative suppliers will be available or that these suppliers will provide materials or electronic or mechanical components in a timely manner or on favorable terms. If we cannot obtain adequate materials in a timely manner or on favorable terms, our business and financial results would be adversely affected.

We may need to raise additional capital that may not be available, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Semiconductor companies that maintain their own fabrication facilities have substantial capital requirements. We made capital expenditures of $14.1 million in the first six months of 2005 and $32.4 million in 2004. In the first six months of 2005, these expenditures were made in relation to the transfer of our wafer sort operations and the relocation of our test facility in the Philippines to a new location. In 2004, these expenditures were made to expand capacity in our eight-inch fabrication facility, replace equipment and expand our test and design capabilities. In the future, we intend to continue to make capital investments to support business growth and achieve manufacturing cost reductions and improved yields. We may seek additional financing to fund further expansion of our wafer fabrication capacity or to fund other projects. The timing and amount of such capital requirements cannot be precisely determined at this time and will depend on a number of factors, including demand for products, product mix, changes in semiconductor industry conditions and competitive factors. Additional financing may not be available when needed or, if available, may not be available on satisfactory terms. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, this could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Our ability to compete successfully and achieve future growth will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary technology, as well as our ability to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others, and our inability could have a material adverse effect on our business.

As of July 2, 2005, we held 81 U.S. patents and 89 foreign patents. We also had over 80 patent applications in progress. At the end of 2005, approximately 12% of the patents we currently have in place will be expiring. We do not expect this to have a material impact on our results, as these technologies are not revenue producing and we will be able to continue using the technologies associated with these patents. We intend to continue to file patent applications when appropriate to protect our proprietary technologies. The process of seeking patent protection takes a long time and is expensive. We cannot assure you that patents will issue from pending or future applications or that, if patents issue, they will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or that the rights granted under the patents will provide us with meaningful protection or any commercial advantage. In addition, we cannot assure you that other countries in which we market our services will protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the United States.

We also seek to protect our proprietary technologies, including technologies that may not be patented or patentable, by confidentiality agreements. We cannot assure you that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach.

Our ability to compete successfully depends on our ability to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others. We have no means of knowing what patent applications have been filed in the United States until they are published. In January 2003, Ricoh Company, Ltd. filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware a complaint against us and other parties alleging infringement of a patent owned by Ricoh. The case was transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Delaware in August 2003 and was subsequently transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Ricoh is seeking an injunction and damages in an unspecified amount relating to such alleged infringement. The patents relate to certain methodologies for the automated design of custom semiconductors. Based on information available to us to date, our belief is that the asserted claims are without merit or, if meritorious, that we will be indemnified (with respect to damages) for these claims by Synopsys, Inc. and resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our future financial results or financial condition.

In addition, the semiconductor industry is characterized by frequent litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. As is typical in the semiconductor industry, we have from time to time received communications from third parties asserting rights under patents that cover certain of our technologies and

alleging infringement of certain intellectual property rights of others. We analyze these claims as best we can given the information available and applicable legal principles. Recently, we have been in discussions with three companies who claim that certain of our products infringe a number of their patents relating to certain manufacturing processes. Our discussions to date have resulted in a resolution of two of these matters. At this time, the overall validity or invalidity of the claims cannot be determined with any certainty and we cannot predict whether any litigation will ensue, or what the outcome of any such litigation might be. We expect to receive similar communications in the future. In the event that any third party had a valid claim against us or our customers, we could be required to:

	•		discontinue using certain process technologies which could cause us to stop manufacturing certain semiconductors;

	•		pay substantial monetary damages;

	•		seek to develop non-infringing technologies, which may not be feasible; or

	•		seek to acquire licenses to the infringed technology, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

In the event that any third party causes us or any of our customers to discontinue using certain process technologies, such an outcome could have an adverse effect on us as we would be required to design around such technologies, which could be costly and time consuming.

Litigation, which could result in substantial costs to us and diversion of our resources, may also be necessary to enforce our patents or other intellectual property rights or to defend us against claimed infringement of the rights of others. If we fail to obtain a necessary license or if litigation relating to patent infringement or any other intellectual property matter occurs, our business could be adversely affected.

We could incur material costs to comply with environmental laws, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Increasingly stringent environmental regulations restrict the amount and types of pollutants that can be released into the environment from our operations. We have incurred and will in the future incur costs, including capital expenditures, to comply with these regulations. Significant regulatory changes or increased public attention to the impact of semiconductor operations on the environment may result in more stringent regulations, further increasing our costs or requiring changes in the way we make our products. For example, Belgium has enacted national legislation regulating emissions of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide.

In addition, because we use hazardous and other regulated materials in our manufacturing processes, we are subject to risks of accidental spills or other sources of contamination, which could result in injury to the environment, personal injury claims and civil and criminal fines, any of which could be material to our cash flow or earnings. For example, we have recently received concurrence with a proposal to curtail pumping at one of our former manufacturing sites. Ongoing monitoring and reporting is still required. If levels significantly change in the future additional remediation may be required. In addition, at some point in the future, we will have to formally close and remove the extraction wells and treatment system. The discovery of additional contamination at this site or other sites where we currently have or historically have had operations could result in material cleanup costs. These costs could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Relating to Our International Operations

Our international sales and operations expose us to various political and economic risks, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

As a percentage of total revenue, our revenue outside of North America was approximately 58% in the first six months of 2005. Our manufacturing operations are located in the United States and Belgium, our test facilities and our primary assembly subcontractors are located in Asia and we maintain design centers

and sales offices in North America, Europe and Asia. International sales and operations are subject to a variety of risks, including:

	•		greater difficulty in staffing and managing foreign operations;

	•		greater risk of uncollectible accounts;

	•		longer collection cycles;

	•		logistical and communications challenges;

	•		potential adverse changes in laws and regulatory practices, including export license requirements, trade barriers, tariffs and tax laws;

	•		changes in labor conditions;

	•		burdens and costs of compliance with a variety of foreign laws;

	•		political and economic instability;

	•		increases in duties and taxation;

	•		greater difficulty in protecting intellectual property; and

	•		general economic and political conditions in these foreign markets.

We are subject to risks associated with currency fluctuations, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

A significant portion of our revenue and costs are denominated in foreign currencies, including the euro and, to a lesser extent, the Philippine Peso and the Japanese Yen. Euro-denominated revenue represented approximately 30% of our revenue in the first six months of 2005 and 35% of our revenue in 2004. As a result, changes in the exchange rates of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar will affect our revenue, cost of revenue and operating margins and could result in exchange losses. The impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on our results of operations cannot be accurately predicted. From time to time, we will enter into exchange rate hedging programs in an effort to mitigate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. However, we cannot assure you that any hedging transactions will be effective or will not result in foreign exchange hedging losses.

We are exposed to foreign labor laws due to our operational presence in Europe, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We had 858 employees in Europe as of July 2, 2005, most of whom were in Belgium. The employees located in Belgium are represented by unions and have collective bargaining arrangements at the national, industry and company levels. In connection with any future reductions in work force we may implement, we would be required to, among other things, negotiate with these unions and make severance payments to employees upon their termination. In addition, these unions may implement work stoppages or delays in the event they do not consent to severance packages proposed for future reductions in work force or for any other reason. Furthermore, our substantial operations in Europe subject us to compliance with labor laws and customs that are generally more employee favorable than in the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for us to quickly or affordably implement workforce reductions in Europe.

Risks Relating to Our Substantial Debt

Our substantial consolidated indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health.

AMI Semiconductor, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary through which we conduct all our business operations, has a substantial amount of indebtedness, most of which is guaranteed by us. We are a holding company with no business operations and no significant assets other than our ownership of AMI Semiconductor’s capital stock. As of July 2, 2005, our consolidated indebtedness was approximately $209.5

million and our total consolidated debt as a percentage of total capitalization was 43%. On July 25, 2005, we announced our intention to increase our indebtedness by $110.0 million to fund, in part, our acquisition of the semiconductor division of Flextronics International USA Inc., bringing our pro forma consolidated indebtedness to approximately $319.5 million and our pro forma total consolidated debt as a percentage of total capitalization to 54%. We will also be required to seek an amendment to our existing credit facility in order to permit the acquisition and increase our indebtedness. Subject to the restrictions in the senior credit facilities, our subsidiaries and we may incur certain additional indebtedness from time to time.

Our substantial consolidated indebtedness could have important consequences. For example, our substantial indebtedness:

	•		will require our operating subsidiaries to dedicate a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to payments in respect of indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, research and development efforts and other general corporate purposes;

	•		could increase the amount of our consolidated interest expense because some of our borrowings are at variable rates of interest, which, if interest rates increase, could result in higher interest expense;

	•		will increase our vulnerability to adverse general economic or industry conditions;

	•		could limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business or the industry in which we operate;

	•		could restrict us from making strategic acquisitions, introducing new technologies or exploiting business opportunities;

	•		could place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and

	•		could limit, along with the financial and other restrictive covenants in our indebtedness, among other things, our ability to borrow additional funds or dispose of assets.

These factors could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

To service our consolidated indebtedness, we will require a significant amount of cash.

Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control. Our ability to make payments on our consolidated indebtedness and to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures and research and development efforts will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. Our historical financial results have been, and we expect our future financial results will be, subject to substantial fluctuation based upon a wide variety of factors, many of which are not within our control. These factors include:

	•		the cyclical nature of both the semiconductor industry and the markets for our products;

	•		fluctuations in manufacturing yields;

	•		the timing of introduction of new products;

	•		the timing of customer orders;

	•		changes in the mix of products sold and the end markets into which they are sold;

	•		the extent of utilization of manufacturing capacity;

	•		the length of the lifecycle of the semiconductors we are manufacturing;

	•		availability of supplies and raw materials;

	•		price competition and other competitive factors; and

	•		work stoppages, especially at our fabs in Belgium.

Unfavorable changes in any of these factors could harm our operating results and our ability to generate cash to service our indebtedness. If we are unable to service our debt using our operating cash flow, we will be required to pursue one or more alternative strategies, such as selling assets, refinancing or restructuring our indebtedness or selling equity securities, each of which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. However, we cannot assure you that any alternative strategies will be feasible at the time or prove adequate. Also, certain of these strategies would require the consent of our senior secured lenders.

Restrictions imposed by the senior credit facilities limit our ability to take certain actions.

We cannot assure you that the operating and financial restrictions and covenants in our debt instruments, including the senior credit facilities, will not adversely affect our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs or engage in other business activities that may be in our interest. The senior credit facility requires us to maintain certain financial ratios, which become more restrictive over time. Our ability to comply with these ratios may be affected by events beyond our control. In 2002, 2003 and 2004, the lenders under our previous senior credit facility and we agreed to certain amendments, including changes to our financial covenants and restrictions on our capital expenditures. On March 2, 2005, we announced a tender offer for our 10 - -3/4% senior subordinated notes as well as a refinancing of our existing $125.0 million senior secured term loan and $90.0 million revolving credit facility. We anticipate amending our existing senior credit facilities to permit the acquisition of the semiconductor division of Flextronics International USA Inc. and to permit an increase of $110.0 million in our indebtedness. We may be required to seek waivers or consents in the future under our new senior credit facilities. We cannot be sure that these waivers or consents will be granted. A breach of any of the covenants or our inability to comply with the required financial ratios could result in a default under our senior credit facilities. In the event of any default under the senior credit facilities, the lenders under our senior credit facilities will not be required to lend any additional amounts to us and could elect to declare all outstanding borrowings, together with accrued interest and other fees, to be due and payable, and require us to apply all of our available cash to repay these borrowings. If we are unable to repay any such borrowings when due, the lenders could proceed against their collateral, which consists of substantially all of our assets, including 65% of the outstanding stock of certain of our foreign subsidiaries. If the indebtedness under our senior credit facilities were to be accelerated, there can be no assurance that our assets would be sufficient to repay such indebtedness in full.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of changes in value of a financial instrument, derivative or non-derivative, caused by fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. Changes in these factors could cause fluctuations in the results of our operations and cash flows. In the ordinary course of business, we are exposed to foreign currency and interest rate risks. These risks primarily relate to the sale of products and services to foreign customers and changes in interest rates on our long-term debt.

A substantial portion of our annual sales and operating costs are denominated in euros. Additionally, we have foreign currency exposure arising from the translation or remeasurement of our foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements into U.S. dollars. The primary currencies to which we are exposed to fluctuations include the Euro, the Japanese Yen and the Philippine Peso. If the U.S. dollar increases in value against these foreign currencies, the value in U.S. dollars of the assets and liabilities originally recorded in these foreign currencies will decrease. Conversely, if the U.S. dollar decreases in value against these foreign currencies, the value in U.S. dollars of the assets and liabilities originally recorded in these foreign currencies will increase. Thus, increases and decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to these foreign currencies have a direct impact on the value in U.S. dollars of our foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, even if the value of these items has not changed in their original currency. As of July 2, 2005, approximately 66% of our consolidated net assets were attributable to subsidiaries that prepare their financial statements in foreign currencies. As such, a 10% change in the U.S. dollar exchange rates in effect as of July 2, 2005 would cause a change in consolidated net assets of approximately $9.8 million. We have attempted to mitigate the impact of this exchange rate risk. During

June 2005, we entered into a foreign exchange collar contract, which ensures conversion of €3.9 million at a rate of no less than $1.20 and no more than $1.30 per €1.

Our exposure to interest rate risk consists of floating rate debt based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus an adjustable margin under our credit agreement. A change of 10% in the interest rate would cause a change of approximately $1.0 million in annual interest expense.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of July 2, 2005, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15.

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. However, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

During the quarter ended July 2, 2005, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1: Legal Proceedings

We were named as a defendant in a complaint filed on January 21, 2003, by Ricoh Company, Ltd. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging infringement of a patent owned by Ricoh. Ricoh is seeking an injunction and damages in an unspecified amount relating to such alleged infringement. The case was transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Delaware on August 29, 2003 and was subsequently transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. A claims construction hearing was completed on January 18, 2005, and the court issued its ruling on April 7, 2005. The patents relate to certain methodologies for the automated design of custom semiconductors. The allegations are premised, at least in part, on the use of software we licensed from Synopsys. Synopsys has agreed to assume the sole and exclusive control of our defense relating to our use of the Synopsys software pursuant to the indemnity provisions of the Synopsys software license agreement, subject to the exceptions and limitations contained in the agreement. Synopsys will bear the cost of the defense as long as it is controlling the defense. However, it is possible that we may become aware of circumstances, or circumstances may develop, that result in our defense falling outside the scope of the indemnity provisions of the Synopsys software license agreement, in which case we would resume control of our defense and bear its cost, or share the cost of the defense with Synopsys and any other similarly situated parties. Based on information available to us to date, our belief is that the asserted claims against us are without merit or, if meritorious, that we will be indemnified (with respect to damages) for such claims by Synopsys and resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our future financial results or financial condition. However, if Ricoh is successful, we could be subject to an injunction or substantial damages or we could be required to obtain a license from Ricoh, if available.

From time to time we are a party to various litigation matters incidental to the conduct of our business. There is no pending or threatened legal proceeding to which we are a party that, in the opinion of management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on our future financial results or financial condition.

Item 5: Other Information

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On April 1, 2005, in a refinancing of its prior senior credit facility, AMI Semiconductor, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a new term loan of $210.0 million and a new revolving line of credit in the amount of $90.0 million, of which $0.3 million was allocated to a letter of credit as of July 2, 2005, pursuant to a Credit Agreement dated as of April 1, 2005 among AMIS Holdings, Inc., AMI Semiconductor, Inc., the lenders party thereto and Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, as Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent (the “Credit Agreement”). The new term loan will expire on April 1, 2012, and contains less restrictive covenants as compared to our prior credit facility.

Proceeds from the new term loan were used to redeem the Company’s 10-3/4% senior subordinated notes, which were tendered pursuant to the Company’s previously announced tender offer and consent solicitation, as well as to repay the outstanding balance of $123.2 million on the Company’s prior $125.0 million term loan, pay accrued interest on the notes and the previous term loan and pay expenses related to the refinancing. On April 1, 2005, 100% of the outstanding notes had been redeemed and the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes was discharged. The interest rate for borrowings under the new term loan is LIBOR plus 150 basis points, which is 100 basis points lower than the previous term loan.

The new term loan requires a principal payment of $0.5 million, together with accrued and unpaid interest, on the last day of March, June, September and December, with the balance due on April 1, 2012. The interest rate on the term loan at July 2, 2005 was 4.64%. The revolving credit facility ($40.0 million of which may be in the form of letters of credit) is available for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The new senior credit facility requires the Company to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio, and contains certain other nonfinancial covenants, all as defined within the Credit Agreement. The new senior credit facility contains provisions to impose various restrictions and covenants on the Company which could potentially limit its ability to respond to market conditions, to provide for unanticipated capital investments or to take advantage of business opportunities. The restrictive covenants include limitations on consolidations, mergers and acquisitions, restrictions on creating liens, restrictions on paying dividends or making other similar restricted payments, restrictions on asset sales, restrictions on capital expenditures and limitations on incurring indebtedness, among other restrictions. The

new senior credit facility also limits the Company’s ability to modify its certificate of incorporation and bylaws. Under these debt instruments, the subsidiaries of AMI Semiconductor, Inc. cannot be restricted, except to a limited extent, from paying dividends or making advances to AMI Semiconductor, Inc. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of July 2, 2005.

The foregoing summary of the senior credit facility is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, which was filed as an exhibit to the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 2, 2005, which was filed on May 6, 2005, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

Effective on April 1, 2005, the Company terminated the Credit Agreement dated as of December 21, 2000, among AMIS Holdings, Inc. (formerly named AMI Holdings, Inc.), AMI Semiconductor, Inc., the lenders party thereto and Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, as Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent, as part of a refinancing of its senior credit facility.

The Company’s terminated senior credit facility included a $90.0 million revolving line of credit upon which the Company could draw for general corporate purposes and a $125.0 million term loan, which otherwise would have expired on September 26, 2008. The Company also had indentures governing its 10-3/4% senior subordinated notes, which were redeemed in connection with the refinancing of the senior credit facility. The term loan required quarterly principal payments of $0.3 million together with unpaid and accrued interest, until the expiration date, when the balance would have become due. At December 31, 2004, the outstanding principal balance under the term loan was $123.4 million and the entire amount was available under the revolving line of credit.

The terminated senior credit facility contained provisions to impose various restrictions and covenants on the Company which could potentially limit its ability to respond to market conditions, to provide for unanticipated capital investments or to take advantage of business opportunities. The restrictive covenants included limitations on consolidations, mergers and acquisitions, restrictions on creating liens, restrictions on paying dividends or making other similar restricted payments, restrictions on asset sales, restrictions on capital expenditures and limitations on incurring indebtedness, among other restrictions. The restrictive covenants in the senior credit facility also included financial measures such as a consolidated interest coverage ratio and a maximum senior leverage ratio, which would have become more restrictive over time. At December 31, 2004, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. The terminated senior credit facility also limited the Company’s ability to modify its certificate of incorporation and bylaws. Under these debt instruments, the subsidiaries of AMI Semiconductor, Inc. cannot be restricted, except to a limited extent, from paying dividends or making advances to AMI Semiconductor, Inc.
