Basis of Presentation and Use of Management Estimates— as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that we believe are necessary for a fair statement of Exar’s financial position as of July 3, 2016 and our results of operations for the three months ended July 3, 2016 and June 28, 2015, respectively. These condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year . The financial statements include management’s estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and material effects on operating results and financial position may result. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation. Such reclassification had no effect on previously reported results of operations or stockholders’ equity. Our fiscal years consist of 52 or 53 weeks. In a 52-week year, each fiscal quarter consists of 13 weeks. Fiscal years 2017 and 2016 consist of 53 and 52 weeks, respectively. The first quarter of fiscal years 2017 and 2016 consist of 14 and 13 weeks, respectively. Discontinued Operations — Note 3- Discontinued Operations”.

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that revenue should be recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process in order to achieve this core principle which may require the use of judgment and estimates. The entity may adopt ASU 2014-09 either by using a full retrospective approach for all periods presented or a modified retrospective approach. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We have not yet selected a transition method and are currently evaluating the effect of adoption of this standard, if any, on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, to provide guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures requirement. ASU 2014-15 (1) provides a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) requires an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provides principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) requires certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) requires an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) requires an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual reporting period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. ASU 2015-11 primarily provides that an entity using an inventory method other than last-in, first out ("LIFO") or the retail inventory method should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The new guidance clarifies that net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the effect of adoption of this standard, if any, on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of adoption of this standard, if any, on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases: (Topic 842) In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 , Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Topic 606 – Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing

Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE 3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On June 1, 2016, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell iML to Beijing E-town Chipone Technology Co., Ltd for $136 million, payable in cash, and adjusted for iML’s cash and debt at closing.

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	NOTE 5. FAIR VALUE Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. GAAP describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value as follows: Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices 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 assets or liabilities. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Our cash and investment instruments are classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. We had no assets or liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs as of July 3, 2016 or March 27, 2016. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2016. As of July 3, 2016, all of our investments, consisting of money market funds with a fair value of $36.3 million, were classified as Level 1 investments. In June 2016, we donated the 93,000 common shares of CounterPath received in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 resulting from the dissolution of Skypoint Telecom Fund II (US), LP, in which we were a limited partner, and wrote off the related $50 thousand carrying value. Our cash and cash equivalents as of the dates indicated below were as follows (in thousands): July 3, March 27, 2016 2016 Cash and cash equivalents Cash in financial institutions $ 48,953 $ 55,066 Money market funds 36,323 4 Total cash and cash equivalents $ 85,276 $ 55,070 Realized gains (losses) on the sale of marketable securities are determined by the specific identification method and are reflected in interest income and other, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended July 3, 2016 and June 28, 2015, there were no net realized gains (losses) on the sale of marketable securities.

Notes to Financial Statements
Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE 6. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. We evaluate goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or when events and changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We conduct our annual impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Impairment of goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. Estimations and assumptions regarding the number of reporting units, future performances, results of our operations and comparability of our market capitalization and net book value will be used. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. Because we have one single operating segment and one chief operating decision maker, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), we assess goodwill for impairment at the enterprise level. As of July 3, 2016, we performed a goodwill impairment analysis from continuing operations and concluded that it was not impaired as the fair value of the continuing operations exceeded the carrying value of the continuing business. Upon entering into a definitive agreement to sell iML, $13.3 million of goodwill was reclassified to assets held for sale based on the respective fair values of the disposal group and continuing operations. See “ Note 3. Discontinued Operations Intangible Assets Our purchased intangible assets for continued operations as of the dates indicated below were as follows (in thousands): July 3, 2016 March 27, 2016 Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Weighted Average Life Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Weighted Average Life Amortized intangible assets: Existing technology $ 53,878 $ (44,097 ) $ 9,781 4.3 $ 53,878 $ (43,502 ) $ 10,376 4.6 Customer relationships 5,225 (3,994 ) 1,231 3.4 5,225 (3,890 ) 1,335 3.6 Distributor relationships 1,264 (1,264 ) - - 1,264 (1,261 ) 3 - Patents/Core technology 3,459 (3,459 ) - - 3,459 (3,459 ) - - Trade names 210 (210 ) - - 210 (189 ) 21 - Total $ 64,036 $ (53,024 ) $ 11,012 $ 64,036 $ (52,301 ) $ 11,735 During the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, $57.1 million of net intangible assets were reclassified to assets held for sale. See “ Note 3-Discontinued Operations”. Long-lived assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective estimated useful lives. Existing technology is amortized over two to nine years. Customer relationships are amortized over five to seven years. Distributor relationships are amortized over seven years. Patents/core technology is amortized over six years. Trade names are amortized over three to six years. We evaluate the remaining useful life of our long-lived assets that are being amortized each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of an intangible asset’s remaining useful life is changed, the remaining carrying amount of the long-lived asset is amortized prospectively over the remaining useful life. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets (or asset group) may not be fully recoverable. Whenever events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be recoverable, we estimate the future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets (or asset group) from its use or eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets which is derived using a discounted cash flow model. Significant management judgment is required in the grouping of long-lived assets and forecasts of future operating results that are used in the discounted cash flow method of valuation. If our actual results or the plans and estimates used in future impairment analyses are lower than the original estimates used to assess the recoverability of these assets, we could incur additional impairment charges. As of July 3, 2016, we performed a goodwill impairment analysis from continuing operations and concluded that it was not impaired as the fair value of the continuing operations exceeded the carrying value of the continuing business. Upon entering into a definitive agreement to sell iML, $13.3 million of goodwill was reclassified to assets held for sale based on the respective fair values of the disposal group and continuing operations.

Investment [Text Block]	NOTE 7. LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS In July 2001, Exar became a Limited Partner in the Skypoint Telecom Fund II (US), LP. (“Skypoint Fund”), a venture capital fund focused on investments in communications infrastructure companies. We account for this non-marketable equity investment under the cost method in the other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The partnership was dissolved and the fund distributed stock of investee companies to Exar during first quarter of fiscal year 2015. We periodically review and determine whether the investment is other-than-temporarily impaired, in which case the investment is written down to its impaired value. As of the date indicated below, our long-term investments balance, which is included in the other non-current assets line item on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, consisted of the following (in thousands): July 3, March 27, 2016 2016 Beginning balance $ 389 $ 394 Donation of Counterpath shares (50 ) - Impairment charges - (5 ) Ending balance $ 339 $ 389 In June 2016, we donated the common shares of Counterpath and recorded the corresponding reduction in long term investment balances. At July 3, 2016 the remaining balance consists of an investment in a privately held company.

Stockholders' Equity Note Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE 9 . COMMON STOCK REPURCHASES From time to time, we acquire outstanding common stock in the open market to partially offset dilution from our equity award programs, to increase our return on our invested capital and to bring our cash to a more appropriate level for Exar. On August 28, 2007, we announced the approval of a share repurchase plan and authorized the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of our common stock. On July 9, 2013, we announced the approval of a share repurchase program under which we were authorized to repurchase an additional $50.0 million of our common stock. The repurchase program does not have a termination date, and may be modified, extended or terminated at any time. We intend to retire all shares repurchased under the stock repurchase plan. The purchase price for the repurchased shares of Exar is reflected as a reduction of common stock and additional paid-in capital. Since inception of the repurchase plan to July 3, 2016, we have repurchased a total of 11.1 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $105.2 million. We did not repurchase any common stock during the three months ended July 3, 2016 or June 28, 2015.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Except for the stock compensation expense section, all amounts consist of both continuing and discontinued operations. Employee Stock Participation Plan (“ESPP”) Our ESPP permits employees to purchase common stock through payroll deductions at a purchase price that is equal to 95% of our common stock price on the last trading day of each three-calendar-month offering period. Our ESPP is non-compensatory. The following table summarizes our ESPP transactions during the fiscal periods presented (in thousands, except per share amounts): As of Three Months Ended July 3, 2016 July 3, 2016 Weighted Shares of Shares of Average Common Stock Common Stock Price per Share Authorized to issue 4,500 Reserved for future issuance 1,306 Issued 11 $ 6.20 Equity Incentive Plans At the annual meeting of stockholders on September 18, 2014 (the “Annual Meeting”), our stockholders approved the Exar Corporation 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (“2014 Plan”). The 2014 Plan authorizes the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock bonuses and other forms of awards granted or denominated in common stock or units of common stock, as well as cash bonus awards. Prior to the Annual Meeting, we maintained the Exar Corporation 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) and the Sipex Corporation 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Sipex 2006 Plan”). As of June 30, 2014, a total of 6,555,492 shares of our common stock were then subject to outstanding awards granted under the 2006 Plan and the Sipex 2006 Plan, and an additional 669,008 shares of our common stock were then available for new award grants under the 2006 Plan. As part of the stockholder approval of the 2014 Plan at the Annual Meeting, we agreed that no new awards will be granted under the 2006 Plan and the Sipex 2006 Plan, although awards made under these plans will remain subject to the terms of each such plan. The maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be issued or transferred pursuant to awards under the 2014 Plan equals the sum of: (1) 5,170,000 shares, plus (2) the number of any shares subject to stock options granted under the 2006 Plan and the Sipex 2006 Plan and outstanding as of the date of the Annual Meeting which expire, or for any reason are cancelled or terminated, after the date of the Annual Meeting without being exercised, plus (3) the number of any shares subject to restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards granted under the 2006 Plan and the Sipex 2006 Plan that are outstanding and unvested as of the date of the Annual Meeting which are forfeited, terminated, cancelled, or otherwise reacquired after the date of the Annual Meeting without having become vested. Awards other than a stock option or stock appreciation right granted under the 2014 Plan are counted against authorized shares available for future issuance on a basis of two shares for each award issued. As of July 3, 2016, there were approximately 1 million shares available for future grants under the 2014 Plan. Stock Option Activities Our stock option transactions during three months ended July 3, 2016 are summarized below: Weighted Average In-the-money Weighted Remaining Aggregate Options Outstanding Average Contractual Intrinsic Vested and Options / Exercise Term Value Exercisable Quantity Price per Share (in years) (in thousands) (in thousands) Balance at March 27, 2016 7,722,383 $ 7.96 4.40 $ 87 48 Granted 1,161,900 6.78 Exercised (405,385 ) 6.42 Cancelled (235,726 ) 7.95 Forfeited (462,810 ) 7.66 Balance at July 3, 2016 7,780,362 7.88 4.26 6,760 4,353 Vested and expected to vest, July 3, 2016 7,005,891 7.98 4.05 5,783 Vested and exercisable, July 3, 2016 3,654,884 $ 8.67 2.45 $ 1,745 The aggregate intrinsic values in the table above represent the total pre-tax intrinsic value, which is based on the closing price of our common stock of $7.80 and $5.26 as of July 3, 2016 and March 27, 2016, respectively. These are the values which would have been received by option holders if all option holders exercised their options on that date. In January 2012, we granted 480,000 performance-based stock options to our then CEO. The options were scheduled to vest in four equal annual installments at the end of fiscal years 2013 through 2016 if certain predetermined market based financial measures were met. If the financial measures are not met, each installment would be rolled over to the subsequent fiscal year. In January 2014, we granted 140,000 performance-based stock options to our then CEO. The options were scheduled to vest at the end of fiscal year 2017 if certain predetermined financial measures were met. Due to the departure of our then CEO in October 2015, we recorded a reversal of $34,000 of compensation expense for these options in fiscal year 2016 as the requisite service period for vesting was not completed. No additional compensation expense for these options was recorded since the termination date for our former CEO. On July 1, 2016 we granted 280,000 and 120,000 performance-based stock options to our CEO and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), respectively. The options vest based on the achievement of company performance targets relating to our non-GAAP earnings per share in future periods. If the criteria are met, the options are scheduled to vest over a four-year period, with one-fourth vesting after 12 months from the date of the grant and the remaining shares vesting in equal monthly installments over the remaining three years, subject to the CEO’s and CFO’s continued service with us. As of July 3, 2016, we did not record any compensation expense associated with these performance-based stock options. Options exercised for the periods indicated below were as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended July 3, June 28, 2016 2015 Intrinsic value of options exercised $ 521 $ 426 RSU Activities Our RSU transactions during the three months ended July 3, 2016 are summarized as follows: Weighted Average Weighted Remaining Aggregate Average Contractual Intrinsic Grant-Date Term Value Shares Fair Value (in years) (in thousands) Unvested at March 27, 2016 590,833 $ 9.39 1.45 $ 3,108 Granted 169,800 7.20 Issued and released (51,566 ) 9.99 Forfeited (123,196 ) 9.39 Unvested at July 3, 2016 585,871 $ 8.71 1.34 $ 4,570 Vested and expected to vest, July 3, 2016 486,294 1.23 3,793 The aggregate intrinsic value of RSUs represents the closing price per share of our stock at the end of the periods presented, multiplied by the number of unvested RSUs or the number of vested and expected to vest RSUs, as applicable, at the end of each period. For RSUs, stock-based compensation expense was calculated based on our stock price on the date of grant, multiplied by the number of RSUs granted. The grant date fair value of RSUs less estimated forfeitures was recognized on a straight-line basis, over the vesting period. In March 2012, we granted 300,000 performance-based RSUs (“PRSUs”) to our then CEO. The PRSUs were scheduled to vest in three equal installments at the end of fiscal year 2013 through 2015 with three-year vesting periods for each installment if certain predetermined financial measures were met. If the financial measures were not met, each installment would be forfeited at the end of its respective fiscal year. Due to the departure of our then CEO in October, 2015, we recorded a reversal of $41,000 for these PRSUs in fiscal year 2016, as the requisite service period required for vesting was not completed. No additional compensation expense for these options was recorded since the termination date for our former CEO. In July 2013, as part of the acquisition of Cadeka, in order to encourage retention of five former Cadeka employees, we agreed to recommend to our Board of Directors in July 2015 a bonus, which, if approved by the Board of Directors, would be settled in RSUs subject to fulfillment of the service period. The ultimate approval of these awards was subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors. We recorded no compensation expense and $0.2 million of non- cash compensation expense for these awards in the three months ended July 3, 2016 and June 28, 2015, respectively. The expense is reported in the other current liabilities line on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as the total amount of bonus was to be settled in variable number of RSUs at the completion of the requisite service period. Such non-cash compensation expense was recorded as part of stock compensation expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In July 2015, the Board of Directors ultimately determined not to approve the granting of these RSUs. In fiscal year 2016 we paid three of these five former Cadeka employees $75,000 in cash in exchange for a release of claims, including any claim such former employees may have to the RSUs described above. As a result of obtaining these releases, the proportional amount of liability net of cash payments was removed from our condensed consolidated balance sheet, with a corresponding increase in additional paid in capital. For the two remaining employees, an amount of $1.2 million is included other liabilities as of July 3, 2016, pending the earlier of a settlement with such former employees or the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations. In October 2013, we granted 70,000 PRSUs to certain executives. The first 50% of the PRSUs was scheduled to start vesting in three equal installments at the end of fiscal year 2015 with a three-year vesting period if certain performance measures were met. The second 50% of the PRSUs was scheduled to start vesting in three equal installments at the end of fiscal year 2016 with a three-year vesting period if certain performance measures were met. We recorded approximately $18,000 and $39,000 of compensation expense for these awards in the three months ended July 3, 2016 and June 28, 2015, respectively. One of the executives’ employment was terminated in fiscal year 2015. In August and December 2014, we granted 88,448 PRSUs to certain former iML employees. The PRSUs are scheduled to start vesting in three equal annual installments upon achievement of certain performance measures. We modified all stock awards outstanding in June 2016 for iML employees impacted by the pending sale of the iML entity. Under the modification, a certain portion of outstanding stock awards will early vest at the close of the transaction based on continued employment as of that date. As a result, we recorded a one-time reversal of $311,000 in stock compensation expense related to these stock awards in the three months ended July 3, 2016. The fair value of modified awards that are expected to vest is being recognized ratably over the estimated requisite service period. In July 2016, we granted 60,000 and 30,000 PRSUs to our CEO and CFO, respectively, which vests based on the achievement of company stock price targets in future periods. If the performance criteria are met, the PRSUs will vest over a three-year period, with one-third of the PRSUs vesting after 12 months from the date of grant and the remaining PRSUs vesting in equal quarterly installments over the remaining two years, subject to the CEO and CFO’s continued service with Exar. The value of these awards is estimated using a Monte-Carlo simulation model using the following valuation assumptions: Expected term of grants (years) 3 Risk-free interest rate 0.76 % Expected volatility 50 % For the three months ended July 3, 2016, we did not record any compensation expense related to these PRSUs. Stock-Based Compensation Expense The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense related to stock options and RSUs during the fiscal periods presented (in thousands): Three Months Ended July 3, June 28, 2016 2015 Cost of sales $ 114 $ 80 Research and development 246 294 Selling, general and administrative 733 1,349 Total stock-based compensation expense $ 1,093 $ 1,723 The amount of stock-based compensation cost capitalized in inventory was immaterial for all periods presented. Unrecognized Stock-Based Compensation Expense The following table summarizes unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options and RSUs, net of reversals, as of July 3, 2016: July 3, 2016 Weighted Average Remaining Amount Recognition (in thousands) Period (in years) Options $ 6,402 2.69 RSUs 1,635 1.50 PRSUs 495 2.22 Total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense $ 8,532 Valuation Assumptions We estimate the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation represent our estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment, which includes the expected term of the stock-based awards, stock price volatility and forfeiture rates. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense for future grants could be materially different. We used the following weighted average assumptions to calculate the fair values of options granted during the fiscal periods presented: Three Months Ended July 3, 2016 June 28, 2015 Expected term of options (years) 4.5 4.7 Risk-free interest rate 1.03 % 1.2 % Expected volatility 34.9 % 32 % Expected dividend yield - - Weighted average estimated fair value $ 2.08 $ 3.08

Our Fremont Campus consists of approximately 151,000 square feet of office space and 4.5 acres of partially developed property adjacent to the buildings. Pursuant to the agreement, we have simultaneously leased back a portion of the Real Property through December 2017. Under the Lease Agreement, our financial obligations include a base monthly rent of $86,338 per month for the property located at 48720 Kato Road, and an additional monthly rent of $600 with respect to the portion of the building located at 48710 Kato Road, Fremont, California. We are also responsible for our monthly share of certain expenses related to the leased facilities, including our share of insurance premiums, taxes and common area expenses. We generated a gain on sale of $11.9 million as a result of this sale and leaseback transaction, $2.6 million of the gain has been deferred and is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. During the three months ended July 3, 2016, we recognized amortization of the deferred gain of $0.2 million, which was reflected as reduction of rent in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. Based on the terms of the agreement, we have classified and are accounting for the lease as an operating lease. The classification as an operating lease required judgment and estimates in developing key assumptions that include, but are not limited to, the lease term, the discount rate used in discounting future lease payments and the economic useful life of the asset.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE 1 4 . COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In early 2012, we received correspondences from the California Department of Toxic Substance Control (“DTSC”) regarding its ongoing investigation of hazardous wastes and hazardous waste constituents at a former regulated treatment facility in San Jose, California. In 1985, MPSI made two separate permitted hazmat deliveries to a licensed and regulated site for treatment. DTSC has requested that former or current property owners and companies, that had hazardous waste treated at the site participate in further site assessment and limited remediation activities. We have entered into various agreements with other named generators, former property owners and DTSC limited to the investigation of the sites’ condition and evaluation, and selection of appropriate remedial measures. The designated environmental consulting firm has prepared and submitted to DTSC a site profile and is currently engaged in further study. Given that this matter is under investigation and discussions are ongoing with respect to various related considerations, we are unable to ascertain our exposure, if any, or estimate a reasonably possible range of loss. I n the opinion of management, after consulting with legal counsel, and taking into account insurance coverage, any ultimate liability related to current outstanding claims and lawsuits, individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial statements, as a whole. In a letter dated March 27, 2012, we were notified by the Alameda County Water District (“ACWD”) of the recent detection of volatile organic compounds at a site adjacent to a facility that was previously owned and occupied by Sipex. The letter was also addressed to prior and current property owners and tenants (collectively “Property Owners”). ACWD requested that the Property Owners carry out further site investigation activities to determine if the detected compounds are emanating from the site or simply flowing under it. In June 2012, the Property Owners filed with ACWD a report of its investigation/characterization activities and analytical data obtained. Accumulated data suggests that compounds of concern in groundwater appear to be from an offsite source. ACWD is investigating alternative upgradient sites. Given that this investigation is ongoing and we have not received any recent communications from ACWD, we are unable to ascertain our exposure, if any, or estimate a reasonably possible range of loss. I n the opinion of management, after consulting with legal counsel, and taking into account insurance coverage, any ultimate liability related to current outstanding claims and lawsuits, individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial statements, as a whole. We warrant all custom products and application specific products, including cards and boards, against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 12 months, and occasionally we may provide an extended warranty from the delivery date. We warrant all of our standard products against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 90 days from the date of delivery. Reserve requirements are recorded in the period of sale and are based on an assessment of the products sold with warranty, historical warranty costs incurred and customer/product specific circumstances. Our liability is generally limited, at our option, to replacing, repairing, or issuing a credit (if it has been paid for). Our warranty does not cover damage which results from accident, misuse, abuse, improper line voltage, fire, flood, lightning or other damage resulting from modifications, repairs or alterations performed other than by us, or resulting from failure to comply with our written operating and maintenance instructions. Our warranty reserve balances as of July 3, 2016 and March 27, 2016 were immaterial. In the ordinary course of business, we may provide for indemnification of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, business partners, purchasers of assets or subsidiaries, and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of our breach of agreements or representations and warranties made by us, services to be provided by us, intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties or, matters related to our conduct of the business. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and certain of our executive officers that will require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or executive officers. We maintain director and officer liability insurance, which may cover certain liabilities arising from our obligation to indemnify our directors and officers, and former directors and officers of acquired companies, in certain circumstances. It is not possible to determine the aggregate maximum potential loss under these indemnification agreements due to the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement and claims. Such indemnification agreements might not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, we have not incurred material costs as a result of obligations under these agreements and we have not accrued any liabilities related to such indemnification obligations in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The income tax expense was primarily due to federal alternative minimum taxes on the building sale gain. During the three months ended June 28, 2015, we recorded an income tax benefit from continuing operations of approximately $0.8 million. The income tax benefit was primarily due to losses benefited against income from discontinued operations. During the three months ended July 3, 2016, the unrecognized tax benefits increased by $0.1 million to $16.9 million primarily related to the increase of unrecognized tax benefit on R&D tax credits, offset by the lapsing of the statute of limitations. If recognized, $13.9 million of these unrecognized tax benefits (net of federal benefit) would be recorded as a reduction of future income tax provision before consideration of changes in valuation allowance. Estimated interest and penalties related to the income taxes are classified as a component of the provision for income taxes in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Accrued interest and penalties consisted of the following as of the dates indicated (in thousands): July 3, March 27, 2016 2016 Accrued interest and penalties $ 1,433 $ 1,364 Our major tax jurisdictions are the United States federal and various states, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Korea and certain other foreign jurisdictions. The fiscal years 2003 through 2015 remain open and subject to examinations by the appropriate governmental agencies in the United States and certain of our foreign jurisdictions.
