NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company" or "Maxim") included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of operations for the three months and six months ended December 27, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2008.
The Company has a 52-to-53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Saturday in June. Accordingly, every sixth or seventh fiscal year will be a 53-week fiscal year. Fiscal year 2009 is a 52-week fiscal year.
Reclassifications
Certain prior-year amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.
The reclassifications included the following:
- The Company reclassified certain expense items from cost of goods sold, research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses into other operating expenses, net. These costs include legal and accounting fees directly attributable to the Company's restatement, and cost reductions due to the reversal of accruals established in prior years for foreign payroll taxes, interest and penalties related to the misdating of option grants and exercises. These foreign payroll tax accruals were reversed due to the expiration of the statute of limitations in various foreign jurisdictions.
- The reclassification of severance and restructuring expenses incurred related to the transfer of manufacturing production from the Company's San Jose, California facility to an outsourced Japanese manufacturing facility, Epson's Sakata, Japan facility. These expenses were previously included in cost of goods sold. The Company recognized severance and restructuring expenses in accordance with the provisions of Financial Statement Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
The impact of the reclassifications for the three months and six months ended December 29, 2007 was as follows:

NOTE 2: RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In the first quarter of the Company's fiscal year 2009, Maxim adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy used in fair value measurements and expands the required disclosures of assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-2,Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 ("FSP 157-2"). FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal 2010 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of those provisions of SFAS 157 on its consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-3Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active (FSP 157-3). FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active. FSP 157 addresses key considerations, such as entity's own assumptions when relevant observable inputs do not exist, observable market information when the market is not active, the use of market quotes when assessing the relevance of observable and unobservable inputs available. FSP 157-3 is effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have been issued. The adoption of FSP 157-3 did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or the fair values of our financial assets and liabilities.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51 ("SFAS 160"). SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,Consolidated Financial Statements, to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 improves the relevance, comparability and transparency of financial statements and eliminates diversity in practice that currently exists in accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of SFAS 160 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007),Business Combinations("SFAS 141(R)") which replaces SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations. SFAS 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. This standard is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 141(R) on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-1,Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements("EITF 07-01"). EITF 07-1 provides guidance on the classification, income statement presentation and disclosure associated with collaborative arrangements involving parties considered to be active participants to an activity and are exposed to significant risks and rewards which are dependent on the commercial success of the activity. EITF 07-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of EITF 07-01 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of SFAS No. 133 ("SFAS 161"), which changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 161 requires the Company to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why the Company uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect our financial position, financial

performance and cash flows. These disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 161 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3,Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets("FSP 142-3"). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets("SFAS 142"). FSP 142-3 improves the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R) and other applicable accounting literature. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe that the adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162,The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("SFAS 162"). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting consistent with GAAP. SFAS 162 is effective sixty days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's amendments to AU Section 411 on September 16, 2008,The Meaning of `Present fairly in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.' The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS 162 on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1 ("FSP EITF 03-6-1"),Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payments Transactions Are Participating Securities. FSP EITF 03-6-1 requires that instruments granted in share-based payment transactions, that qualify as participating securities, should be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method described in FASB Statement No. 128,Earnings per Share. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 with all prior period EPS data being adjusted retrospectively. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FSP EITF 03-6-1 on the Company's calculation of earnings per share.
NOTE 3: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 for its financial assets and liabilities at the beginning of its fiscal year 2009. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. SFAS No. 157 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1- Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
The Company's Level 1 assets and liabilities consist of U.S. Treasury securities and money market funds.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
The Company's Level 2 assets and liabilities consist of bank certificates of deposit and foreign currency forward contracts.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques, as well as significant management judgment or estimation.
The Company did not hold any Level 3 assets and liabilities during the second quarter of its fiscal year 2009.

Compensation cost capitalized as part of inventory as of December 27, 2008 and June 28, 2008 was $6.8 million and $13.7 million, respectively.
Modifications and Settlements
Tender Offer
In November 2008, the Company offered to purchase from employees up to 52.8 million outstanding stock options for cash payments totaling $22.4 million. The amount of the cash payment was determined based on the Black-Scholes value of the eligible options utilizing the average stock price over the 20 day period preceding the date of the offer.
In December 2008 upon closing of the offer a total of 31.9 million options were tendered requiring the Company to remit an aggregate payment totaling $13.6 million. The Company accounted for the offer as a settlement under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. SFAS 123(R),Share-Based Payment, which resulted in the recognition of $75.9 million in stock-based compensation expenses consisting of $8.7 million inadditional expense from settlements above fair value and $67.2 million associated with the unamortized compensation expenses on the previously unvested tendered options. Settlement of the tendered options reduced deferred tax assets by $129.4 million, generated a tax benefit of $4.7 million, and resulted in a $124.7 million charge to additional paid in capital for the difference between the deferred tax assets and tax benefits associated with the tendered options.
As a result of the significant impact to the Company's option plans from the tender offer, the Company analyzed its estimated forfeiture rate for its remaining outstanding options and recorded a reversal of stock based compensation expenses of $52.2 million to recognize actual forfeitures which have exceeded the Company's previous forfeiture estimates.
Officer Option Repurchase
In December 2008 the Company repurchased 6.2 million outstanding stock options from officers for $1.8 million payable in installments over the greater of two years or the remaining vesting period associated with the options prior to their repurchase. The Company accounted for the repurchase as a modification under SFAS 123(R) resulting in incremental compensation of $1.1 million which will be recognized over the payment period.
Share-Based Compensation and Other Adjustments Resulting From the Blackout Period
On September 8, 2006, the SEC was notified that the Company would delay filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 24, 2006 as a result of the then ongoing stock option investigation into the Company's historical stock option granting practices. As a result of such delay, the Company suspended the issuance of shares upon exercise of stock options, vesting of restricted stock units and purchases of stock under the Employee Stock Participation Plan until the Company became current with all of its required SEC filings and its registration statements on Form S-8 became effective ("Blackout Period"). The Company instituted multiple programs in an attempt to compensate employees during the Blackout Period, as described below. The Company became current in its SEC filings, and its registration statements on Form S-8 became effective on September 30, 2008.
RSU Loan Program
In October 2006, the Company offered certain domestic employees an opportunity to receive cash in the form of a non-recourse loan ("RSU Loan") for common stock that they would have otherwise been able to receive in settlement for Restricted Stock Units that vested during the Blackout Period. The program was not offered to executive officers or the members of the Company's Board of Directors. Employees accepting the offer were also entitled to additional shares of common stock if the Company's stock price appreciates ("SAR") between the vesting date and the settlement date at the end of the Blackout Period. Employees foregoing the loan would receive shares of common stock at the conclusion of the Blackout Period. The Company also offered to cash-settle restricted stock units vesting during the Blackout Period held by foreign employees. The aforementioned loan offers were considered modifications of the restricted stock units triggering a change in the classification from equity to liability for all eligible awards vesting during the Blackout Period. The Company recorded a reclassification from

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
additional paid-in-capital to accrued salary and related expenses of $19.4 million on the modification date and incremental compensation expenses of $2.2 million from the modifications. Vesting of eligible awards and changes in stock price resulted in additional reclassifications from additional paid-in-capital to accrued salary and related expenses and additional compensation expenses in periods they occur. The Company made cash payments of $35.6 million and $14.7 million pursuant to the RSU loan program and $1.9 million and $2.4 million for settlement of RSUs held by foreign employees during the six months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively, as a result of this program.
The RSU Loan Program terminated on September 30, 2008, the date when the Company became current with all of its required SEC filings and its registration statements on Form S-8 became effective ("Blackout Period").
In connection with the termination of the program, the Company issued 1.1 million shares for individuals who did not participate in the programs, representing the total number of shares vested less shares withheld for applicable employee withholding taxes. This resulted in a net reclassification of $28.0 million from accrued salary and related expenses to common stock and capital in excess of par value.
As a result of the decline of the Company's stock price and pursuant to the terms of the RSU loan program, the Company forgave previously issued RSU loans and remitted a total of $27.4 million associated employee taxes included in payouts under RSU loan program shown in the financing activities within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows during the six months ended December 27, 2008.
Extension of Options that Expire after Reaching 10 Year Contractual Term and Cash Settlements of Such Expired Options
In September 2006, the Company approved the extension of the terms of vested stock options that expire during the Blackout Period as a result of the expiration of the 10 year contractual term. The extension was considered a modification under SFAS 123(R). The incremental compensation expense of the modification was based on the fair value of the option at the modification date after the extension compared to the fair value of the options prior to modification. The Company recognized additional compensation expense totaling $118.9 million for 8.3 million options in the three months ended September 23, 2006. The stock-based compensation expense adjustment was based on modified vested options held by employees that expired during the period from September 22, 2006 through the end of the Blackout Period.
In September 2007, as a result of changes in NASDAQ regulations, the Company decided to cash-settle all options expiring during the Blackout Period ("goodwill payment") based on the price at which 10% of the daily close prices of the Company's common stock fall above this price for trading days from August 7, 2006 (the date on which the Company initiated a trading blackout on officers and other individuals) through the expiration date of the option. The cash payment was subject to the option holder executing a release of all claims relating to the option. The goodwill payment modification changed the classification of the associated awards from equity to liability instruments. The modification resulted in a reclassification from additional paid-in-capital to accrued salaries and related expenses of $126.8 million and incremental compensation expenses of $27.5 million. At the end of each period, the Company recognized changes in fair value of the options in its Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period of change until the options are settled.
On September 26, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors offered certain individuals, including certain officers of the Company, holding vested stock options that expire due to reaching their maximum 10-year terms in October 2008, certain cash goodwill payments contingent upon employee acceptance and signing of a release. The Company cash settled options to purchase 1.1 million option shares that expired in October 2008 for employees that accepted the offer. The cash settlement resulted in a reduction of additional paid in capital of $0.8 million for the fair value of the underlying options on the settlement dates and incremental compensation expense of $18.6 million during three months ended December 27, 2008.

(1) | Aggregate intrinsic value for stock options represents the difference between exercise price and the closing price per share of the Company's common stock on December 27, 2008, multiplied by the number of stock options outstanding, exercisable, or vested and expected to vest as of December 27, 2008. |
As of December 27, 2008, there was $122.1 million of unrecognized stock compensation related to 14.9 million unvested stock options which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.0 years.
Fair Value
The fair value of share-based awards granted to employees was estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model that used the following weighted-average assumptions:
Stock Option Plan | Stock Option Plan | ||||||
Three Months Ended | Six Months Ended | ||||||
December 27, 2008 | December 29, 2007 | December 27, 2008 | December 29, 2007 | ||||
Expected holding period (in years) | 6.3 | 6.3 | 6.3 | 6.4 | |||
Risk-free interest rate | 2.9% | 4.1% | 2.9% | 4.5% | |||
Expected stock price volatility | 40% | 45% | 40% | 38% | |||
Dividend yield | 4.1% | 2.9% | 4.0% | 2.6% |
The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Expected volatilities are based on the implied volatilities from traded options of the Company's common stock before the Company's common stock was delisted from NASDAQ on October 2, 2007. Subsequent to the Company's delisting, the Company began analyzing its expected volatilities based on historical volatilities from its traded common stock over a period equal to the expected term. The Company analyzes historical exercise patterns of relatively homogeneous groups of employees to estimate expected holding period. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield. The Company determines the dividend yield by dividing the annualized dividends per share by the prior quarter's average stock price. The result is analyzed by the Company to decide whether it represents expected future dividend yield. As required by SFAS 123(R), the Company also estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and makes revisions if the estimates change or the actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted was $3.55 and $9.37 per share for three months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively. The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted was $3.62 and $9.71 per share for six months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively.

Vested and expected to vest, December 27, 2008 | 12,326,545 | 1.7 | $151,739,779 |
(1) | Aggregate intrinsic value for RSUs represents the closing price per share of the Company's stock on December 27, 2008, multiplied by the number of RSUs outstanding or expected to vest as of December 27, 2008. |
The Company withheld 0.9 million shares totaling $15.2 million related to employee withholding taxes based on the value of the RSUs on their vesting date as determined by the Company's closing stock price for three months ended December 27, 2008. The total payments for the employees' tax obligations to the taxing authorities are reflected as financing activities within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
As of December 27, 2008, there was $218.6 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to 13.6 million unvested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.2 years.
Please refer to Note 19 regarding the retirement and cancellation of 27 million options to purchase shares of common stock that would otherwise be available for the grant of stock options, shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units.

NOTE 6: (LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic (loss) earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For purposes of computing basic (loss) earnings per share, the weighted average number of outstanding common shares excludes unvested restricted stock units ("RSUs"). Diluted earnings per share incorporates the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options, assumed release of unvested RSUs and assumed issuance of stock under the ESPP using the treasury stock method. As discussed in Note 4, the Company cash-settled options that expired (reached the ten year contractual term) during the Blackout Period and cash-settled vested RSUs. These options and RSUs are considered liability instruments under SFAS 123

Approximately 44.2 million and 68.2 million of the Company's stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively. Approximately 25.2 million and 63.7 million of the Company's stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the six months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively. These options were excluded because they were determined to be antidilutive. However, such options could be dilutive in the future and, under those circumstances, would be included in the calculation of diluted (loss) earnings per share.
NOTE 7: SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company operates and tracks its results as one reportable segment. The Company designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of analog integrated circuits. The Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker as defined by SFAS No. 131,Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information("SFAS 131").
The Company has fifteen operating segments which aggregate into one reportable segment under SFAS 131. Under SFAS 131, two or more operating segments may be aggregated into a single operating segment for financial reporting purposes if aggregation is consistent with the objective and basic principles of SFAS 131, if the segments have similar economic characteristics, and if the segments are similar in each of the following areas:
- The nature of products and services;
- The nature of the production processes;
- The type or class of customer for their products and services; and
- The methods used to distribute their products or provide their services.
The Company meets each of the aggregation criteria for the following reasons:
- The sale of analog and mixed signal integrated circuits is the primary source of revenue for each of the Company's fifteen operating segments;
- The integrated circuits sold by each of the Company's operating segments are manufactured using similar semiconductor manufacturing processes;
14
MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
- The integrated circuits marketed by each of the Company's operating segments are sold to the same types of customers; and
- All of the Company's integrated circuits are sold through a centralized sales force and common wholesale distributors.
All of the Company's operating segments share similar economic characteristics as they have a similar long term business model. The causes for variation among the Company's operating segments are the same and include factors such as (i) life cycle and price and cost fluctuations, (ii) number of competitors, (iii) product differentiation, and (iv) size of market opportunity. Additionally, each operating segment is subject to the overall cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry. The number and composition of employees and the amounts and types of tools and materials required are similar for each operating segment. Finally, even though the Company periodically reorganizes its operating segments based upon changes in customers, end markets or products, acquisitions, long-term growth strategies, and the experience and bandwidth of the senior executives in charge, the common financial goals for each operating segment remain constant.
Enterprise-wide information is provided in accordance with SFAS 131. Geographical revenue information is based on the customers' ship-to location. Long-lived assets consist of property, plant and equipment. Property, plant and equipment information is based on the physical location of the assets at the end of each reporting period.

Accumulated other comprehensive losses presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 27, 2008 and June 28, 2008 consist of net unrealized gains on available-for-sale investments of $3.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively, net foreign currency translation loss adjustments of $(1.5) million and $(1.5) million, respectively, and deferred income tax of $(3.3) million and $(4.5) million, respectively, on unrealized exchange gains related to an intercompany receivable that is of a long-term investment nature.
NOTE 9: INCOME TAXES
In the three and six months ended December 27, 2008, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $34.7 million and an income tax provision of $0.4 million respectively, compared to an income tax provision of $55.5 million and $98.8 million in the three and six months ended December 29, 2007 respectively.
The income tax benefit for the three months ended December 27, 2008 and the income tax provision for the six months ended December 27, 2008 includes a tax benefit of $9.6 million, including a discrete benefit of $3.5 million, for the retroactive extension of the Federal research tax credit to January 1, 2008 by legislation that was signed into law on October 3, 2008.
The Company's normal statutory tax rate is 35%. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007 differed from 35% primarily because of tax benefits generated by Federal research tax credits and the domestic production activities deduction.
The Company's net deferred tax asset at December 27, 2008 was $181.4 million. The Company believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized based on historical earnings and expected levels of future taxable income. Levels of future taxable income are subject to the various risks and uncertainties as described in this Report and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2008. An increase in the valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets may be necessary if it becomes more likely than not that all or a portion of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company periodically assesses the need for increases to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
The Company's federal corporate income tax returns for the fiscal years 2005 and 2006 are being examined by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). As part of this examination the IRS has requested information related to our stock option investigation. Management believes that it has adequately provided for any adjustments that may result from the IRS examination. However, the outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty. Should any issues addressed in the Company's tax audits be resolved in a manner not consistent with management's expectations, the Company could be required to adjust its provision for income tax in the period such resolution occurs which might have a significant impact on the results of operations for the period.

NOTE 10: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Stock Option Litigation
Beginning on or about May 22, 2006, several derivative actions were filed against certain current and former executive officers and directors of the Company. These derivative lawsuits were filed in: (1) the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, as In re Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. Derivative Litigation, Lead Case No. 5:06-cv-03344-JW, which consolidates McKinney v. Beck, et al. (Case No. 06-3344) and Horkay v. Beck, et al. (Case No. 06-3395), City of Pontiac Policemen's and Firemen's Retirement System v. Hood, et al. (Case No. 06-03754) and Corey v. Gifford, et al. (Case No. 06-03755); (2) the California Superior Court, Santa Clara County, as Louisiana Sheriffs' Pension & Relief Fund v. Gifford et al. (Case No. 1-06-CV-065626); and (3) the Delaware Court of Chancery, as Ryan v. Gifford, et al. (Case No. Civ 2213-N). The complaints allege, among other things, that certain of the Company's current and former executive officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company by engaging in alleged wrongful conduct of back-dating stock options as well as violating Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The Company is named solely as a nominal defendant against whom the plaintiffs seek no recovery.
The parties to the Delaware derivative litigation entered into a stipulated settlement agreement on September 16, 2008, conditioned upon approval of the Delaware Court of Chancery and subject to dismissal of all other pending derivative lawsuits. In early January 2009, the Delaware Court of Chancery issued an Order approving the settlement.

RECLASSIFICATION
Certain prior-year amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.
The reclassifications included the following:
- The Company reclassified certain expense items from cost of goods sold, research and development and selling general and administrative expenses into other operating expenses, net. These costs include legal and accounting fees directly attributable to the Company's restatement, and cost reductions due to the reversal of accruals established in prior years for foreign payroll taxes, interest and penalties related to the misdating of option grants and exercises. These foreign payroll tax accruals were reversed due to the expiration of the statute of limitations in various foreign jurisdictions.
- The reclassification of severance and restructuring expenses incurred related to the transfer of manufacturing production from the Company's San Jose, California facility to an outsourced Japanese manufacturing facility, Epson's Sakata, Japan facility. These expenses were previously included in cost of goods sold. The Company recognized severance and restructuring expenses in accordance with the provisions of FASB Statement No. 146,Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require us to make our most difficult and subjective accounting judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, our most critical accounting policies include revenue recognition and related allowances, which impact the recording of revenues; valuation of inventories, which impacts costs of goods sold and gross margins; the assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets, which impacts write-offs of fixed assets; accounting for stock-based compensation, which impacts cost of goods sold, gross margins and operating expenses; accounting for income taxes, which impacts the income tax provision; and assessment of contingencies, which impacts charges recorded in cost of goods sold and operating expenses. We have other significant accounting policies that either does not generally require estimates and judgments that are as difficult or subjective, or it is less likely that such accounting policies would have a material impact on our reported results of operations for a given period.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Revenues
Net revenues were $410.7 million and $540.0 million for the three months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively, a decrease of 23.96%. Net revenues for the six months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, were $911.9 million and $1,064.1 million, respectively, a decrease of 14.3%. We classify our net revenue by four major end market categories: Computing, Consumer, Industrial and Communications. In the three and six months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, net revenues for all four end markets decreased due to a decline in shipments. Net shipments from Communications, Computing, Consumer and Industrial markets decreased by approximately 12%, 34%, 29% and 13% for three months ended December 27, 2008 as compared to December 29, 2007, respectively. Net shipments from Communications, Computing, Consumer and Industrial markets decreased by approximately 3%, 23%, 13% and 6% for six months ended December 27, 2008 as compared to December 29, 2007, respectively. The Company expects that its consumer and computing end markets will continue to decline due to the normal seasonal declines compounded by the current macro economic conditions. The Company expects industrial and communications end markets to decline less than its overall corporate average due to the quarter ending March 28, 2009 being a strong seasonal quarter for the industrial market and by government stimulus packages placing emphasis on infrastructure build outs.
During the three months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, approximately 76% and 81%, respectively, of net revenues were derived from customers outside of the United States. During the six months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, approximately 77% and 81%, respectively, of net revenues were derived from customers outside of the United States. While the majority of these sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate our risks on firm commitments and net monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies. The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on revenue and our results of operations for the three months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007 was immaterial.
24
Gross Margin
Our gross margin percentage was 48.5% and 62.2% for the three months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively. The gross margin percentage for the three months ended December 27, 2008, as compared to the three months ended December 29, 2007, decreased primarily due to an increase of $19.2 million in stock-based compensation expense related primarily to the Company's purchase of under-water stock options from employees and expense related to the purchase of stock options that expired in October 2008 recorded for the three months ended December 27, 2008. Inventory write downs increased by $4.0 million during the three months ended December 27, 2008 as compared to the three months ended December 29, 2007. Inventory write downs were $12.2 million and $8.2 million for the three months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively. In addition, $12.0 million of accelerated depreciation expense was recorded for the three months ended December 27, 2008 due to our decision to ramp down and eventually close our wafer fab in Dallas, Texas during the third fiscal quarter of 2008, $1.9 million in expense associated with the under utilization of the Company's wafer fabrication facilities, and $1.9 million amortization expense related to the acquisitions of the Storage products division of Vitesse Semiconductor and Mobilygen Corporation also contributed to the gross margin decrease for the three months ended December 27, 2008. As a result of our declining revenues we expect factory utilization will continue to decline resulting in increased unfavorable impacts to our gross margins.
Our gross margin percentage was 53.8% and 61.7% for the six months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively. The gross margin percentage for the six months ended December 27, 2008, as compared to the six months ended December 29, 2007, decreased primarily due to an increase of $15.4 million in stock-based compensation expense related primarily to the Company's purchase of under-water stock options from employees and expense related to the purchase of stock options expiring in October 2008 recorded for the six months ended December 27, 2008. Inventory write downs increased by $3.8 million during the six months ended December 27, 2008 as compared to the three months ended December 29, 2007. Inventory write downs were $20.6 million and $16.8 million for the six months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively. In addition, $23.4 million of accelerated depreciation expense was recorded for the six months ended December 27, 2008 due to our decision to ramp down and eventually close our wafer fab in Dallas, Texas, $1.9 million expense associated with the under utilization of the Company's fabrication facilities, and $2.7 million amortization expense related to the acquisitions of the Storage products division of Vitesse Semiconductor and Mobilygen Corporation also contributed to the gross margin decrease for the six months ended December 27, 2008. As a result of our declining revenues we expect factory utilization will continue to decline resulting in increased unfavorable impacts to our gross margins.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses were $144.3 million and $138.3 million for the three months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively, which represented 35.1% and 25.6% of net revenues, respectively. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to increased stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation increased by $10.6 million primarily due to the Company's purchase of under-water stock options from employees and expense related to the purchase of stock options expiring in October 2008 recorded for the three months ended December 27, 2008. Depreciation expense increased by $2.6 million primarily due to the Company's decision to cease testing operations in the United States resulting in a change in classification of equipment located in the United States now being utilized solely in research and development. These were offset by $8.5 million decrease in salary and related expenses primarily due to decreased salary and bonus expenses resulting from the decreased headcount and reduced anticipated profitability.
Research and development expenses were $283.2 million and $298.3 million for the six months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively, which represented 31.1% and 28.0% of net revenues, respectively. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to decreased stock-based compensation. The Company extended the terms of vested stock options that expire during the Blackout Period as a result of the expiration of the 10 year contractual term and resulted in modification charge for six months ended December 29, 2007. The charge was partially offset by the Company's purchase of under-water stock options from employees and expense related to the purchase of expired stock options recorded for the six months ended December 27, 2008. As a result, the stock-based compensation decreased by $13.8 million for the six months ended December 27, 2008 as compared to six months ended December 29, 2007. In addition, salary and related expenses decreased by $9.4 million primarily due to decreased salary and bonus expenses resulting from the decreased headcount and reduced anticipated profitability. The above decrease was offset by increased depreciation expense by $4.1 million primarily

due to the Company's decision to cease testing operations in the United States resulting in a change in classification of equipment located in the United States now being utilized solely in research and development of utilization of certain fixed assets from fabrication to research and development.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $64.1 million and $41.6 million for the three months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively, which represented 15.6% and 7.7% of net revenues, respectively. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation increased by $12.4 million primarily due to the Company's purchase of under-water stock options from employees and expense related to the purchase of stock options expiring in October 2008 recorded for the three months ended December 27, 2008. Salary and related expenses increased by $4.9 million quarter over quarter primarily due to our field application engineers' involvement in selling and marketing of the Company's products relative to their involvement in research and development activities. In addition, the Company's $1.0 million employee loan impairment and $1.2 million loss on disposal of fixed assets contributed to the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for three months ended December 27, 2008.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $104.4 million and $85.1 million for the six months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively, which represented 11.4% and 8.0% of net revenues, respectively. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation increased by $5.5 million primarily due to the Company's purchase of under-water stock options from employees and expense related to the purchase of stock options expiring in October 2008 recorded for the six months ended December 27, 2008. Salary and related expenses increased by $6.0 million for six months ended December 27, 2008 as compared to December 29, 2007 primarily due to our field application engineers' involvement in selling and marketing of the Company's products relative to their involvement in research and development activities. In addition, the Company's $1.0 million employee loan impairment and $1.2 million fixed assets loss contributed to the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. The above increase was offset by a $1.5 million credit from value added tax the Company received during six months ended December 29, 2007

Included in stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended December 29, 2007 was $27.5 million related to the Company's decision to cash-settle all options expired during the Blackout Period.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
End of Line Sorting and Testing Facilities
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company identified certain assets as excess as a result of reductions in demand for product tested and sorted on certain equipment. In connection with this decision, the Company incurred an asset impairment charge of $43.8 million which is included in impairment of long lived assets in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The Company has classified these assets as held for sale based on its intention to sell the assets and has included $3.6 million in other assets in the balance sheet as of December 27, 2008.
Fabrication Facility, San Jose
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company recorded a $7.3 million asset impairment charge as a result of transferring certain wafer manufacturing production from its San Jose, California wafer manufacturing facility to an outsourced Japanese manufacturing facility,Epson's Sakata, Japan facility and reductions in demand and reduced future capacity requirements.
Dallas fab closure
In connection with the anticipated closure of the Dallas facility, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the facilities' manufacturing assets and concluded that there was no impairment. The Company also reevaluated the useful lives and salvage values of the long-lived assets used in this manufacturing facility based on the new period of intended use. As a result of this review, the Company changed its depreciable lives and salvages values and recognized additional depreciation expense of $12.0 million during the three months ended December 27, 2008 related to this change in accounting estimate.
27
Severance and Restructuring Expenses
Cost reduction of business units
In order to improve operational and selling efficiency, the Company has reviewed relative long term goals and decided to reduce development efforts in some product lines while increasing investment in others. During the three months ended December 27, 2008, the Company consolidated several product lines in our business units which resulted in the termination of approximately 128 employees and total costs of approximately $6.1 million consisting principally of severance and benefit payments.
Shutdown of Dallas fab
During the three months ended March 29, 2008, the Company announced the wind-down and eventual closure of its wafer manufacturing facility located in Dallas, Texas over an 18-month time period. The Company originally anticipated that the Dallas wafer facility closure will result in the termination of approximately 200 employees and total costs of approximately $8.0 million consisting principally of severance and benefit payments over such 18-month period. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company reevaluated their facility closure plan resulting in $0.8 million of additional severance and benefit expenses recorded during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. At the same time, the Company also reevaluated their benefit cost estimates and recognized an additional charge of $1.2 million. The Company recorded approximately $3.0 million and $4.1 million, respectively, in severance and benefit expenses related to this program during the three and six months ended December 27, 2008.
Cost reduction of selling, general and administrative groups
The Company also previously announced the decision to consolidate certain selling, general and administrative functions throughout the world which resulted in the termination of approximately 31 employees and total costs of approximately $1.0 million consisting principally of severance and benefit payments for the three months ended December 27, 2008.
Lease restructuring
In addition to the Company's severance activities the Company also decided to vacate certain leased offices in Greensboro, NC, Santa Clara, CA, Irving, TX, and Swindon, United Kingdom resulted in the lease impairment of approximately $0.5 million.
Test operation cost reduction
During the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2008, the Company implemented certain actions to cease performing further testing in the United States and have all future testing performed overseas in Thailand and Philippines. These actions commenced during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 and resulted in the recognition of a charge of $1.8 million in severance and benefits related to the termination of 93 employees. During the three months ended December 27, 2008, the Company continued these actions and recorded $2.4 million of restructuring charges which are primarily due to a change in the estimated severance and benefit costs related to 41 terminated employees.
Fabrication Facilty, San Jose
The Company recorded severance and benefits expenses totaling approximately $2.4 million related to the termination of 78 employees for the six months ended December 27, 2008 due primarily to reductions in demand and reduced future capacity requirements. The Company recorded severance and benefits expenses totaling approximately $2.4 million related to the termination of 96 employees for the six months ended December 29, 2007 mainly as a result of the decision to transfer certain wafer manufacturing production from its San Jose, California wafer manufacturing facility to an outsourced Japanese manufacturing facility, Epson's Sakata.
Other Operating Expenses, Net
Other operating expenses, net primarily consists of expense items related to the restatement of previously reported financial statements.

The following table summarizes the activities for the three and six months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007:
Three Months Ended | Six Months Ended | ||||||
December 27, 2008 | December 29, 2007 | December 27, 2008 | December 29, 2007 | ||||
(in thousands) | (in thousands) | ||||||

Other | 2,739 | - | 4,189 | - | |||
Total | $ 10,253 | $ 15,145 | $ 17,611 | $ 20,355 |
The Company incurred $9.9 million and $15.1 million restatement related expenses during the three months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively. The Company incurred $15.8 million and $20.3 million restatement related expenses during the six months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively. The restatement related expenses associated with the restatement of the previously filed financial statements primarily include legal and accounting expenses related to private litigation and other associated activities, particularly, for accounting, legal and other professional service fees, certain U.S. and foreign payroll tax, interest and penalty accruals and the reversal of these accruals due to the expiration of the tax statutes of limitations in various foreign jurisdictions and bonus expense related to the completion of the restatement. The restatement related expenses decreased for both the three and six months end December 27, 2008 as compared to three and six months ended December 29, 2007 due to the completion of the Company's restatement of the previously filed financial statements in September 2008 and the Delaware Court of Chancery's approval of the stipulated settlement agreement related to the derivative litigation. The Company expects those expenses to diminish over time and disappear eventualy.
During the three months ended December 27, 2008, the Company reversed $2.4 million of accrued retirement benefits due to the death of Mr. Gifford.
Interest Income and Other, Net
Interest income and other, net was $7.4 million and $21.9 million for the three months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively. This decrease was primarily driven by a gain of $9.6 million on sale of certain fixed assets during three months ended December 29, 2007. In addition, lower average interest rates combined with lower invested cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments balances also contributed to the decrease in interest income and other, net.
Interest income and other, net was $16.5 million and $39.3 million for six months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively. This decrease was primarily driven by a gain of $9.6 million on sale of certain fixed assets during six months ended December 29, 2007. In addition, lower average interest rates combined with lower invested cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments balances also contributed to the decrease in interest income and other, net.
Provision for Income Taxes
In the three and six months ended December 27, 2008, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $34.7 million and an income tax provision of $0.4 million respectively, compared to an income tax provision of $55.5 million and $98.8 million in the three and six months ended December 29, 2007 respectively.
The income tax benefit for the three months ended December 27, 2008 and the income tax provision for the six months ended December 27, 2008 includes a tax benefit of $9.6 million, including a discrete benefit of $3.5 million, for the retroactive extension of the Federal research tax credit to January 1, 2008 by legislation that was signed into law on October 3, 2008.
The Company's normal statutory tax rate is 35%. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007 differed from 35% primarily because of tax benefits generated by Federal research tax credits and the domestic production activities deduction.
29
The Company's net deferred tax asset at December 27, 2008 was $181.4 million. The Company believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized based on historical earnings and expected levels of future taxable income. Levels of future taxable income are subject to the various risks and uncertainties described in this Report and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2008. An increase in the valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets may be necessary if it becomes more likely than not that all or a portion of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company periodically assesses the need for increases to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
The Company's federal corporate income tax returns for the fiscal years 2005 and 2006 are being examined by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). As part of this examination the IRS has requested information related to our stock option investigation. Management believes that it has adequately provided for any adjustments that may result from the IRS examination. However, the outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty. Should any issues addressed in the Company's tax audits be resolved in a manner not consistent with management's expectations, the Company could be required to adjust its provision for income tax in the period such resolution occurs, which might have a significant impact on the results of operations for the period.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In the first quarter of the Company's fiscal year 2009, Maxim adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy used in fair value measurements and expands the required disclosures of assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-2,Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 ("FSP 157-2"). FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal 2010 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of those provisions of SFAS 157 on its consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-3,Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active (FSP 157-3). FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active. FSP 157 addresses key considerations, such as entity's own assumptions when relevant observable inputs do not exist, observable market information when the market is not active, the use of market quotes when assessing the relevance of observable and unobservable inputs available. FSP 157-3 is effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have been issued. The adoption of FSP 157-3 did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or the fair values of our financial assets and liabilities.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51 ("SFAS 160"). SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,Consolidated Financial Statements, to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 improves the relevance, comparability and transparency of financial statements and eliminates diversity in practice that currently exists in accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of SFAS 160 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007),Business Combinations("SFAS 141(R)") which replaces SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations. SFAS 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. This standard is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 141(R) on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.
30
In December 2007, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-1,Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements("EITF 07-01"). EITF 07-1 provides guidance on the classification, income statement presentation and disclosure associated with collaborative arrangements involving parties considered to be active participants to an activity and are exposed to significant risks and rewards which are dependent on the commercial success of the activity. EITF 07-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of EITF 07-01 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of SFAS No. 133 ("SFAS 161"), which changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 161 requires the Company to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why the Company uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect our financial position, financial performance and cash flows. These disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 161 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3,Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets("FSP 142-3"). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets("SFAS 142"). FSP 142-3 improves the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R) and other applicable accounting literature. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe that the adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 will have an impact on its results of operations or financial condition.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162,The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("SFAS 162"). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting consistent with GAAP. SFAS 162 is effective sixty days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's amendments to AU Section 411 on September 16, 2008,The Meaning of `Present fairly in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles'. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS 162 on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1 ("FSP EITF 03-6-1"),Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payments Transactions Are Participating Securities. FSP EITF 03-6-1 requires that instruments granted in share-based payment transactions, that qualify as participating securities, should be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method described in FASB Statement No. 128,Earnings per Share. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 with all prior period EPS data being adjusted retrospectively. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FSP EITF 03-6-1 on the Company's calculation of earnings per share.
BACKLOG
At December 27, 2008, backlog shippable within the next 3 months was approximately $206.4 million. The Company's previous quarter ending backlog shippable within the next 3 months was approximately $300.2 million.

Operating activities
Cash provided by operating activities was net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. The increase in cash provided by operating activities for the six ended December 27, 2008 for the amount of $229.5 million was primarily due to net income as adjusted for non-cash items and a decrease in accounts receivable. These items were partially offset by an increase in income tax refund receivable and a decrease in accrued liabilities.
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities of $96.2 million for six months ended December 27, 2008 consisted primarily of $67.5 million purchases of property, plant and equipment and $30.3 million, net of assumed cash received from the acquisition and cash consideration to retire all outstanding indebtedness of Mobilygen Corporation.
Financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities of $428.2 million for six months ended December 27, 2008 consisted primarily of $235.1 million for the purchase of 18.1 million shares of common stock, $126.4 million in dividend payments and $64.4 million for cash settlements of outstanding and expired options, vested RSUs and the RSU loan program.
The Company anticipates that the available funds and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet cash and working capital requirements, including its anticipated level of capital expenditures, share repurchase and dividend payments for the next twelve months.
Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements
As of December 27, 2008, the Company did not have any material off-balance-sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303 (a) (4) (ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.
ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company's market risk has not changed materially from the interest rate and foreign currency risks disclosed in Item 7A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2008.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer ("CEO") and our chief financial officer ("CFO"), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of December 27, 2008. Our management, including the CEO and the CFO, has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 27, 2008. The purpose of these controls and procedures is to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and our CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended December 27, 2008 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
A system of internal control over financial reporting is intended to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP and no control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance. The design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect financial statement errors and misstatements. Also, projection of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
The information set forth above under Note 10 contained in the "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" is incorporated herein by reference.
A description of risks associated with our business, financial condition and results of our operations is set forth in Item 1A - Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2008, which is herein incorporated by reference. Below are additional risks associated with our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Reduced consumer and/or corporate spending due to general economic conditions could adversely affect our financial results and are difficult to forecast.
Uncertainty in global economic conditions poses a risk to the overall economy as consumers and businesses may defer purchases in response to tighter credit and negative financial news, which could negatively affect product demand. If demand for our products fluctuates as a result of economic conditions or otherwise, our revenue and gross margin could be harmed. Important factors that could cause demand for our products to fluctuate include:
- changes in business and economic conditions, including a downturn in the semiconductor industry and/or the overall economy;
- changes in consumer confidence caused by changes in market conditions; and
- competitive pressures, including pricing pressures.
33
If product demand decreases, our manufacturing or assembly and test capacity could be underutilized, and we may be required to record additional impairment on our long-lived assets, which would increase our expenses. These changes in demand for our products, and changes in our customers' product needs, could have a variety of negative effects on our competitive position and our financial results, and, in certain cases, may reduce our revenue, increase our costs, lower our gross margin percentage, or require us to recognize impairments of our assets. In addition, if product demand decreases or we fail to forecast demand accurately, we could be required to write off inventory or record underutilization charges, which would have a negative impact on our gross margin.
The recent financial crisis could negatively affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
The recent financial crisis affecting the banking system and financial markets have resulted in a tightening in the credit markets, a low level of liquidity in many financial markets, and extreme volatility in credit and equity markets. There could be follow-on effects from the credit crisis on our business, including the inability of customers to obtain credit to finance purchases of our products and/or customer insolvencies.
