1. Basis of Presentation | |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. (the “Company” or “MPS”) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted in accordance with these rules and regulations. The information in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the SEC on March 10, 2014. | |
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014 or for any other future period. | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. | |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement | |
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The standard gives guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists, with the purpose of reducing diversity in practice. This new standard requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2014 prospectively and the adoption did not have an impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. |

The maximum number of 2014 Executive PSUs that an executive officer can ultimately earn is 300% of the target shares granted. Half of the 2014 Executive PSUs will vest in February 2016 if the pre-determined performance goals are met and approved by the Compensation Committee and the executive officer is employed by the Company. The remaining shares will vest over the following two years on a quarterly basis, subject to continued employment. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if outstanding securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, and calculated using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands, except per share amounts): | |||||||||

Legal Matters and Contingencies [Text Block] | ' |
6. Litigation | |
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are parties to actions and proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including litigation regarding its shareholders and its intellectual property, challenges to the enforceability or validity of its intellectual property and claims that the Company’s products infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. These proceedings often involve complex questions of fact and law and may require the expenditure of significant funds and the diversion of other resources to prosecute and defend. The Company defends itself vigorously against any such claims. | |
O2 Micro | |
In May 2012, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (the “District Court”) issued an order finding O2 Micro International, Ltd. (“O2 Micro”) liable for approximately $9.1 million in attorneys’ fees and non-taxable costs, plus interest, in connection with the patent litigation that the Company won in 2010. This award was in addition to the approximately $0.3 million in taxable costs that the District Court had earlier ordered O2 Micro to pay to the Company in connection with the same lawsuit. In October 2012, O2 Micro appealed the District Court’s judgment to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “Federal Circuit”). In August 2013, the Federal Circuit affirmed O2 Micro’s liability for the full amount of the award. In September 2013, O2 Micro filed a petition for rehearing of that ruling, but the Federal Circuit denied O2 Micro’s petition for rehearing on October 16, 2013. | |
In November 2013, the Company received a cash payment of $9.5 million from O2 Micro. In January 2014, O2 Micro filed an appeal with the United States Supreme Court. Had O2 Micro been successful in obtaining a favorable ruling against the Company, MPS could have been liable to return a portion or all of the $9.5 million to O2 Micro. Accordingly, the Company recorded the $9.5 million as a current liability as of December 31, 2013. | |
In March 2014, the Supreme Court declined to hear the case. As O2 Micro has no further legal avenues to appeal, the Company released the current liability of $9.5 million and recorded the amount in litigation benefit, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the first quarter of 2014. In addition, the Company incurred additional legal fees of $500,000 in connection with the final resolution of the lawsuit. |

The Company's level 2 assets consist of U.S. treasuries and government agency bonds. These securities generally have market prices available from multiple sources, which are used as inputs into a distribution-curve based algorithm to determine fair value. | |||||||||||||||||||||
The Company’s level 3 assets consist of government-backed student loan auction-rate securities, with interest rates that reset through a Dutch auction every 7 to 35 days and which became illiquid in 2008.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company’s investment portfolio included $9.8 million in government-backed student loan auction-rate securities, net of impairment charges of $407,000, of which $377,000 was temporary and $30,000 was recorded as other-than-temporary. This compares to an investment balance as of December 31, 2013 of $9.9 million, net of impairment charges of $390,000, of which $360,000 was temporary and $30,000 was recorded as other-than-temporary. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Determining the fair value of the auction-rate securities requires significant management judgment regarding projected future cash flows which will depend on many factors, including the quality of the underlying collateral, estimated time for liquidity including potential to be called or restructured, underlying final maturity, insurance guaranty and market conditions, among others. To determine the fair value of the auction-rate securities, the Company used a discounted cash flow model with the following assumptions: | |||||||||||||||||||||

Deferred Compensation Plan: | |||||||||||||||||||||
The Company has a non-qualified, unfunded deferred compensation plan, which became effective in July 2013 and provides certain key employees, including our executive management, with the ability to defer the receipt of compensation in order to accumulate funds for retirement on a tax deferred basis. The Company does not make contributions to the plan or guarantee returns on the investments. The Company is responsible for the plan’s administrative expenses. Participant deferrals and investment gains and losses remain as the Company’s liabilities and the underlying assets are subject to claims of general creditors. | |||||||||||||||||||||
As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the plan assets totaled $2.6 million and $0.6 million, and the plan liabilities totaled $2.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded an income of $36,000 in interest and other income (expense), net, related to the changes in the cash surrender value of the plan assets and an operating expense of $13,000 related to the changes in the fair value of the plan liabilities. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | ' |
8. Income Taxes | |
The income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $0.3 million, or 2.8% of the income before income taxes. This differs from the federal statutory rate primarily because the Company’s foreign income was taxed at lower rates and because of the benefit that the Company realized as a result of stock options exercises and the releases of RSUs and changes in our valuation allowance. | |
The income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $(0.2) million, or (8.9)% of the income before income taxes. This differs from the federal statutory rate primarily because the Company’s foreign income was taxed at lower rates and because of the benefit that the Company realized as a result of stock option exercises and releases of RSUs. | |
Unrecognized Tax Benefits | |
As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $15.2 million and $14.9 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $5.2 million and $5.0 million, respectively, of tax benefits that, if recognized, would result in an adjustment to the Company’s effective tax rate after considering the valuation allowance. | |
Uncertain tax positions relate to the allocation of income and deductions among the Company’s global entities and to the determination of the research and development tax credit. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that approximately $1.2 million of its unrecognized tax benefits may be released in 2014 as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations. In addition, it is reasonably possible that over the next twelve-month period the Company may experience other increases or decreases in its unrecognized tax benefits. However, it is not possible to determine either the magnitude or the range of other increases or decreases at this time. | |
The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in its income tax provision. As March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $0.8 million of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions. | |
Income Tax Audits | |
The Company is subject to examination of its income tax returns by the IRS and other tax authorities. The Company’s U.S. Federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2005 through December 31, 2007 are under examination by the IRS. In April 2011, the Company received from the IRS a Notice of Proposed Adjustment ("NOPA") relating to a cost-sharing agreement entered into by the Company and its international subsidiaries on January 1, 2004. In the NOPA, the IRS objected to the Company’s allocation of certain litigation expenses between the Company and its international subsidiaries and the amount of "buy-in payments" made by the international subsidiaries to the Company in connection with the cost-sharing agreement, and proposed to increase the Company’s U.S. taxable income according to a few alternative methodologies. In February 2012, the Company received a revised NOPA from the IRS (“Revised NOPA”). In this Revised NOPA, the IRS raised the same issues as in the NOPA issued in April 2011 but under a different methodology. Under the Revised NOPA, the largest potential federal income tax adjustment, if the IRS were to prevail on all matters in dispute, is $10.5 million, plus interest and penalties, if any. The Company responded to the IRS Revised NOPA in May 2012. In June 2013, the IRS responded and continued to disagree with the Company’s rebuttal. The Company met with the IRS Office of Appeals in March 2014. However, no resolutions were reached in the meeting, and both parties are scheduled to meet again in May 2014. Meanwhile, the Company agreed to grant the IRS an extension of the statute of limitations for taxable years 2005 through 2007 to December 31, 2014. | |
The IRS also audited the research and development credits carried forward into year 2005 and the credits generated in the years 2005 through 2007. The Company received a NOPA from the IRS in February 2011, proposing to reduce the research and development credits generated in year 2005 through 2007 and the carryforwards, which would then reduce the value of such credits carried forward to subsequent tax years. | |
The Company reviewed and responded to the above proposed adjustments. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from such examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. As of March 31, 2014, based on the technical merits of its tax return filing positions and the interactions to date with the IRS, the Company believes that it is more-likely-than-not that the resolution of the audits will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. |
