NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. However, certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. In our opinion, the financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

The consolidated financial statements include our financial statements and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Our fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the last Saturday in June. Our fiscal 2013 is a 52-week period ending on June 29, 2013. Our fiscal 2012 was the 53-week period ended on June 30, 2012. The quarterly fiscal periods presented in this report were a 13-week period for the three months ended December 29, 2012 and a 14-week period for the three months ended December 31, 2011. For ease of presentation, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been shown as ending on calendar quarter end dates for all annual, interim, and quarterly financial statement captions, unless otherwise indicated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, cost of revenue, inventories, loss on purchase commitments, product warranty, share-based compensation costs, provision for income taxes, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances, uncertain tax positions, tax contingencies, goodwill, intangible assets, investments, contingent consideration, and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience, applicable laws and regulations, and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

2. Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from product sales when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and title has transferred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured, which is generally upon shipment. We accrue for estimated sales returns and other allowances, based on historical experience, at the time we recognize revenue.

3. Net Income Per Share

The computation of basic and diluted net income per share was as follows (in thousands, except per share data):


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	December 31,				December 31,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Numerator:
Net income	$	11,114	$	17,383	$	17,167	$	30,398

Denominator:
Shares, basic		32,478		32,569		32,710		32,717
Effect of dilutive share-based awards		835		1,436		1,029		1,255

Shares, diluted		33,313		34,005		33,739		33,972

Net income per share:
Basic	$	0.34	$	0.53	$	0.52	$	0.93

Diluted	$	0.33	$	0.51	$	0.51	$	0.89

Our basic net income per share amounts for each period presented have been computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Our diluted net income per share amounts for each period presented include the weighted average effect of potentially dilutive shares. We use the “treasury stock” method to determine the dilutive effect of our stock options, deferred stock units, or DSUs, market stock units, or MSUs, and convertible notes.

Dilutive net income per share amounts do not include the weighted average effect of 5,005,736 and 4,076,726 share-based awards that were outstanding during the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and 4,037,666 and 4,076,777 share-based awards that were outstanding during the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These share-based awards were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.

4. Fair Value

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level within the fair value hierarchy consisted of the following (in thousands):


	December 31,				June 30,
	2012				2012
	Level 1		Level 3		Level 1		Level 3
Assets
Money market	$	288,952	$	—	$	301,451	$	—
Auction rate securities		—		15,009		—		15,321

Total available-for-sale securities	$	288,952	$	15,009	$	301,451	$	15,321

Liabilities
Contingent consideration liability recorded for business combination	$	—	$	7,763	$	—	$	11,900

In our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, money market balances are included in cash and cash equivalents, auction rate securities, or ARS investments, are included in non-current investments, and contingent consideration liability recorded for business combination is included in other liabilities.

Changes in fair value of our Level 3 financial assets as of December 31, 2012 were as follows (in thousands):


Balance as of June 30, 2012	$	15,321
Net unrealized gain		1,838
Redemptions		(2,150	)

Balance as of December 31, 2012	$	15,009

Changes in fair value of contingent consideration measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of December 31, 2012 were as follows (in thousands):


Balance as of June 30, 2012	$	11,900
Payment of contingent consideration		(5,000	)
Change in contingent consideration		863

Balance as of December 31, 2012	$	7,763

In our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the period ended December 31, 2012, $4.6 million of the payment of contingent consideration was classified as cash flows from financing activities and $400,000 was classified as cash flows from operating activities.

There were no transfers in or out of our Level 1 or 3 assets or liabilities during the six months ended December 31, 2012.

The fair values of our cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of those instruments. The fair value of our notes payable approximates their carrying value.

5. Auction Rate Securities

Our ARS investments have failed to settle in auctions and are not liquid. In the event we need to access these funds prior to their maturity, we will not be able to do so without a loss of principal, unless redeemed by the issuers or a future auction on these investments is successful. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, $150,000 and $2.2 million, respectively, of our ARS investments were redeemed at par.

As there are currently no active markets for our various failed ARS investments, we have estimated the fair value as of December 31, 2012 using a trinomial discounted cash flow analysis. The analysis considered, among others, the following factors:

•

the collateral underlying the security investments;

•

the creditworthiness of the counterparty;

•

the timing of expected future cash flows;

•

the probability of a successful auction in a future period;

•

the underlying structure of each investment;

•

the present value of future principal and interest payments discounted at rates considered to reflect current market conditions;

•

a consideration of the probabilities of default, passing a future auction, or redemption at par for each period; and

•

estimates of the recovery rates in the event of default for each investment.

When possible, our failed ARS investments were compared to other observable market data or securities with similar characteristics. Our estimate of the fair value of our ARS investments could change materially from period to period based on future market conditions.

Contractual maturities for our ARS investments are generally greater than five years, with fair value of $10.6 million maturing from calendar years 2015 to 2017 and $4.4 million maturing from calendar years 2041 to 2045. Of our ARS investments, $6.7 million par value are investment grade, and the remaining $18.5 million par value are below investment grade.

The various types of ARS investments we held as of December 31, 2012, including the original cost basis, other-than-temporary impairment included in retained earnings, new cost basis, unrealized gain/(loss), and fair value, consisted of the following (in thousands):


			Other-than-
			temporary
	Original Cost		Impairment in			New Cost		Unrealized			Fair
	Basis		Retained Earnings			Basis		Gain/(Loss)			Value
Student loans	$	4,700	$	(179	)	$	4,521	$	(161	)	$	4,360
Credit linked notes		13,500		(8,765	)		4,735		4,024			8,759
Preferred stock		5,000		(5,000	)		—		—			—
Municipals		2,000		(83	)		1,917		(27	)		1,890

Total ARS	$	25,200	$	(14,027	)	$	11,173	$	3,836		$	15,009

The various types of ARS investments we held as of June 30, 2012, including the original cost basis, other-than-temporary impairment included in retained earnings, new cost basis, unrealized gain/(loss), and fair value, consisted of the following (in thousands):


			Other-than-
			temporary
	Original Cost		Impairment in			New Cost		Unrealized			Fair
	Basis		Retained Earnings			Basis		Gain/(Loss)			Value
Student loans	$	6,850	$	(179	)	$	6,671	$	(231	)	$	6,440
Credit linked notes		13,500		(8,765	)		4,735		2,276			7,011
Preferred stock		5,000		(5,000	)		—		—			—
Municipals		2,000		(83	)		1,917		(47	)		1,870

Total ARS	$	27,350	$	(14,027	)	$	13,323	$	1,998		$	15,321

The ARS investments in each of the above tables with unrealized losses have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months.

We have accounted for all of our ARS investments as non-current as we are not able to reasonably determine when the ARS markets will recover or be restructured. Based on our ability to access our cash and cash equivalents, our expected operating cash flows, and our other sources of cash, we do not intend to sell the investments, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the investments before the recovery of the amortized cost basis. We will continue to monitor our ARS investments and evaluate our accounting for these investments quarterly.

6. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market (estimated net realizable value) and consisted of the following (in thousands):


	December 31,		June 30,
	2012		2012
Raw materials	$	24,960	$	26,957
Finished goods		7,164		4,710

	$	32,124	$	31,667

7. Other Accrued Liabilities

As of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, other accrued liabilities consisted of the following (in thousands):


	December 31, 2012		June 30, 2012
Customer obligations	$	17,633	$	13,076
Inventory obligations		6,430		5,680
Other		9,864		7,759

	$	33,927	$	26,515

8. Product Warranties, Indemnifications, and Contingencies

Product Warranties

We generally warrant our products for a period of 12 months from the date of sale and estimate probable product warranty costs at the time we recognize revenue. Factors that affect our warranty liability include historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, materials usage, rework, and delivery costs. However, we assess the adequacy of our warranty obligations each reporting period and adjust the accrued warranty liability on the basis of our estimates.

Indemnifications

In connection with certain third-party agreements we have executed in the past, we are obligated to indemnify the third party in connection with any technology infringement by us. We have also entered into indemnification agreements with our officers and directors. Maximum potential future payments cannot be estimated because these agreements do not have a maximum stated liability. However, historical costs related to these indemnification provisions have not been significant. We have not recorded any liability in our consolidated financial statements for such indemnification obligations.

Contingencies

We have in the past and may in the future receive notices from third parties that claim our products infringe their intellectual property rights. We cannot be certain that our technologies and products do not or will not infringe issued patents or other proprietary rights of third parties.

Any infringement claims, with or without merit, could result in significant litigation costs and diversion of management and financial resources, including the payment of damages, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

9. Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation and the related tax benefit recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of income were as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended December 31,				Six Months Ended December 31,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Cost of revenue	$	198	$	275	$	441	$	590
Research and development		3,879		3,899		7,790		7,440
Selling, general, and administrative		3,929		4,326		8,242		8,636

Total	$	8,006	$	8,500	$	16,473	$	16,666

Income tax benefit on share-based compensation	$	2,179	$	2,865	$	4,397	$	4,880

Historically, we have issued new shares in connection with our share-based compensation plans; however, treasury shares were also available for issuance as of December 31, 2012, including shares repurchased under our common stock repurchase program.

Stock Options

Stock option activity, including stock options granted, exercised, and forfeited, and weighted average exercise prices for options outstanding and exercisable, and the aggregate intrinsic value were as follows:


	Stock Option Awards Outstanding			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)
Balance at June 30, 2012		7,339,024		$	25.34
Granted		252,246			25.46
Exercised		(62,151	)		12.36
Forfeited		(319,903	)		29.39

Balance at December 31, 2012		7,209,216			25.28	$	36,753

Exercisable at December 31, 2012		5,345,222		$	24.50	$	31,259

The aggregate intrinsic value was determined using the closing price of our common stock on December 28, 2012 of $29.58, and excludes the impact of stock options that were not in-the-money.

Deferred Stock Units

DSU activity, including DSUs granted, delivered, and forfeited, and the balance and aggregate intrinsic value of DSUs were as follows:


	DSU Awards Outstanding			Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)
Balance at June 30, 2012		1,009,336
Granted		424,700
Delivered		(212,032	)
Forfeited		(49,807	)

Balance at December 31, 2012		1,172,197		$	34,674

The aggregate intrinsic value was determined using the closing price of our common stock on December 28, 2012 of $29.58.

Of the shares delivered, 58,325 shares valued at $1.5 million were withheld to meet statutory minimum tax withholding requirements.

Market Stock Units

Our Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Compensation Plan provides for the grant of MSU awards, which are a type of DSU award, to our employees, consultants, and directors. An MSU is a promise to deliver shares of our common stock at a future date based on the achievement of market-based performance requirements in accordance with the terms of the MSU grant agreement. We began granting MSUs in November 2012.

In November 2012, we granted MSUs to our executive officers, which were designed to vest in three tranches with the target quantity for each tranche equal to one-third of the total MSU grant. The first tranche vests based on a one-year performance period; the second tranche vests based on a two-year performance period; and the third tranche vests based on a three-year performance period. Performance is measured on the achievement of a specified level of total stockholder return, or TSR, relative to the TSR of the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, or SOX Index. The potential payout ranges from 0% to 200% of the grant target quantity and is adjusted on a two-to-one ratio based on our TSR performance relative to the SOX Index TSR performance using the following formula:

(100% + ([Synaptics TSR - SOX Index TSR] x 2))

Delivery of shares earned, if any, will take place on the dates provided in the MSU grant agreement, assuming the grantee is still an employee, consultant, or director of our company at the end of the applicable performance period. At the delivery date, we withhold shares to cover statutory minimum tax withholding by delivering a net quantity of shares. Until delivery of shares, the grantee has no rights as a stockholder.

During the three months ended December 31, 2012, we granted 74,000 MSUs and there were no shares under our MSU awards delivered or forfeited. We valued the MSUs using the Monte Carlo simulation model and amortize the compensation expense over the three-year performance and service period. The weighted average grant date fair value for the MSUs granted was $25.82. The unrecognized share-based compensation cost for MSUs granted was approximately $1.8 million as of December 31, 2012, which will be recognized over approximately 2.9 years. As of December 31, 2012, the aggregate intrinsic value of the MSUs was $2.2 million, which was determined using the closing price of our common stock on December 28, 2012 of $29.58.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Shares purchased, weighted average purchase price, cash received, and the aggregate intrinsic value for employee stock purchase plan purchases during the six-month period ended December 31, 2012 were as follows (in thousands, except for shares purchased and weighted average price):


Shares purchased		143,469
Weighted average purchase price	$	20.56
Cash received	$	2,950
Aggregate intrinsic value	$	521

10. Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. We consider the operating earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely invested outside the United States. Accordingly, no provision has been made for the federal, state, or foreign taxes that may result from future remittances of undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries.

The provision for income taxes of $4.0 million for each of the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 represented estimated federal, foreign, and state income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was 26.6% and diverged from the combined federal and state statutory rate primarily because of foreign income taxed at lower tax rates and the release of unrecognized tax benefits, partially offset by foreign withholding taxes, net unrecognized tax benefits associated with qualified stock options, and a net decrease to the liability for uncertain tax positions. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was 18.8% and diverged from the combined federal and state statutory rate primarily because of foreign income taxed at lower tax rates, the retroactive reinstatement of the federal research credit, and the state research credit, partially offset by foreign withholding taxes and net unrecognized tax benefit associated with qualified stock options. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2012 included a release of unrecognized tax benefits of $920,000 for the lapse of a statute that should have been recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. The impact of this adjustment was not material to the consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2012 or to the estimated consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2013.

The provision for income taxes of $6.5 million and $7.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, represented estimated federal, foreign, and state income taxes. The effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2012 was 27.6% and diverged from the combined federal and state statutory rate primarily because of foreign income taxed at lower tax rates and the release of unrecognized tax benefits, partially offset by foreign withholding taxes, net unrecognized tax benefits associated with qualified stock options, and a net decrease to the liability for uncertain tax positions. The effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2011 was 19.9% and diverged from the combined federal and state statutory rate primarily because of foreign income taxed at lower tax rates and the federal and state research credit, partially offset by foreign withholding taxes and net unrecognized tax benefits associated with qualified stock options.

Tax benefit associated with share-based compensation was $2.2 million and $2.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Excluding the impact of share-based compensation and the related tax benefit, the effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 would have been 26.8% and 23.0%, respectively.

Tax benefit associated with share-based compensation was $4.4 million and $4.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Excluding the impact of share-based compensation and the related tax benefit, the effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 would have been 27.2% and 22.8%, respectively.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

The total liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits decreased $87,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2012 to $23.0 million from $23.1 million at June 30, 2012 and is included in other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would reduce the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations. The decrease was primarily due to a lapse of an applicable statute that impacted prior fiscal year tax positions, which was partially offset by increases related to current fiscal year tax positions. The balance of interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2012 was $2.4 million and increased by $25,000 from June 30, 2012. We classify interest and penalties, if any, as components of income tax expense.

In May 2011, we were notified by the Internal Revenue Service, or the Service, that our fiscal 2003 through 2006 and fiscal 2008 through 2010 would be subject to an audit. The early periods are being audited in connection with a mandatory review of tax refunds in excess of $2.0 million when we carried back our fiscal 2008 net operating loss. In October 2012, we received a final examination report with a total proposed tax deficiency of $2.0 million over the examination periods, excluding interest and penalties. We filed a protest in October 2012 to contest the proposed adjustments through the appeals process. While we believe our unrecognized tax benefits associated with the years and issues under audit are adequate, we can make no assurances that an assessment, if any, will not exceed our accrued unrecognized tax benefits.

Currently we anticipate resolving our protest with the Service during our fiscal 2013; otherwise, the appeal process will likely extend into our fiscal 2014 and could result in a change to our unrecognized tax benefits. Any prospective adjustments to our unrecognized tax benefits will be recorded as an increase or decrease to income tax expense and cause a corresponding change to our effective tax rate. Accordingly, our effective tax rate could fluctuate materially from period to period.

On January 2, 2013 President Barack Obama signed into law The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, or the Act. The Act extends the federal research credit for two years retroactively from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013. As such, we will recognize approximately $2.5 million of tax benefits in our third fiscal quarter, the financial period that includes the enactment date.

Our major tax jurisdictions are the United States and Hong Kong SAR, and fiscal 2003 onward remain subject to examination by one or more of these jurisdictions.

11. Segment, Customers, and Geographic Information

We operate in one segment: the development, marketing, and sale of interactive user interface solutions for electronic devices and products. We generate our revenue from two broad product categories: the personal computing, or PC, market and mobile product market. The PC market accounted for 43% and 46% of net revenue for the three months ended December 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and 46% and 49% of net revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

12. Comprehensive Income

Our comprehensive income generally consists of net income plus the effect of unrealized gains and losses on our investments, primarily due to temporary changes in market value of certain of our ARS investments. In addition, we recognize the noncredit portion of other-than-temporary impairment on debt securities in other comprehensive income. We recognize foreign currency remeasurement adjustments in our condensed consolidated statements of income as the U.S. dollar is the functional currency of our foreign entities.

13. Purchased Intangibles

The following table summarizes the life, the gross carrying value of our purchased intangible assets, and the related accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012 (in thousands):

14. Building and Land Sale

On October 24, 2012, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell our existing corporate headquarters, including an office building containing approximately 76,522 square feet of space located on approximately 2.59 acres of land. In January 2013, we entered into an amendment to the purchase and sale agreement to reduce the purchase price to approximately $12.6 million, exclusive of adjustments and closing costs. The sale of the property is subject to various conditions and termination rights, including a due diligence inspection period for the buyer. Assuming that the buyer completes a satisfactory due diligence inspection of the property and certain other conditions are satisfied, we anticipate that the closing of the property sale transaction will take place late in our third quarter or early in our fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. At the closing, we intend to enter into a lease agreement with the buyer through May 31, 2013, unless we exercise our right to extend or terminate the lease prior to such date. We continue to utilize this building and therefore classify it as held for use. We anticipate moving into our new company headquarters in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Results

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes in Item 1 and with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

This report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, including particularly Item 1A—Risk Factors.

Overview

We are a leading worldwide developer and supplier of custom-designed human interface solutions that enable people to interact more easily and intuitively with a wide variety of mobile computing, communications, entertainment, and other electronic devices. We believe our results to date reflect the combination of our customer focus, the strength of our intellectual property, and our engineering know-how, which allow us to develop or engineer products that meet the demanding design specifications of OEMs.

Many of our customers have manufacturing operations in China, and many of our OEM customers have established design centers in that region. With our expanded global presence, including offices in China, Finland, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, and the United States, we are well positioned to provide local sales, operational, and engineering support services to our existing customers, as well as potential new customers, on a global basis.

Our manufacturing operations are based on a variable cost model in which we outsource all of our production requirements and generally drop ship our products directly to our customers from our contract manufacturers’ facilities, reducing the need for significant capital expenditures and allowing us to minimize our investment in inventories. This approach requires us to work closely with our contract manufacturers and semiconductor fabricators to ensure adequate production capacity to meet our forecasted volume requirements. We provide our contract manufacturers with six-month rolling forecasts and issue purchase orders based on our anticipated requirements for the next 90 days. However, we do not have any long-term supply contracts with any of our contract manufacturers. We use three third-party wafer manufacturers to supply wafers and two third-party packaging manufacturer to package our proprietary ASICs. In certain cases, we rely on a single source or a limited number of suppliers to provide other key components of our products. Our cost of revenue includes all costs associated with the production of our products, including materials, logistics, manufacturing, assembly, and test costs paid to third-party manufacturers and related overhead costs associated with our indirect manufacturing operations personnel. Additionally, we charge all warranty costs, yield losses, and any inventory provisions or write-downs to cost of revenue.

Our gross margin generally reflects the combination of the added value we bring to our OEM customers’ products in meeting their custom design requirements and the impact of our ongoing cost-improvement programs. These cost-improvement programs include reducing materials and component costs and implementing design and process improvements.

Our research and development expenses include costs for supplies and materials related to product development as well as the engineering costs incurred to design human interface solutions for OEM customers prior to and after their commitment to incorporate those solutions into their products. These expenses have generally increased, reflecting our continuing commitment to the technological and design innovation required to maintain our position in our existing markets and to adapt our existing technologies or develop new technologies for new markets.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses include expenses related to sales, marketing, and administrative personnel; internal sales and outside sales representatives’ commissions; market and usability research; outside legal, accounting, and consulting costs; and other marketing and sales activities. These expenses have generally increased, primarily reflecting incremental staffing and related support costs associated with our business acquisitions, increased business levels, growth in our existing markets, and penetration into new markets.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended December 31, 2012 compared with our critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

Net Revenue.

Net revenue was $143.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 compared with $145.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 1.7%. Of our second quarter fiscal 2013 net revenue, $61.4 million, or 43.0%, was from PC product applications and $81.6 million, or 57.0%, was from mobile product applications. The decrease in net revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 was attributable to a decrease in net revenue from PC product applications. Net revenue from PC product applications decreased primarily as a result of lower unit sales in the quarter, reflecting the slowdown in the PC market.

Net revenue was $270.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 compared with $278.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $8.8 million, or 3.2%. Of our first half fiscal 2013 net revenue, $123.9 million, or 45.9%, was from PC product applications and $146.2 million, or 54.1%, was from mobile product applications. The decrease in net revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2012 was attributable to a decrease in net revenue from PC product applications. Net revenue from PC product applications decreased primarily as a result of lower unit sales in the first half of the fiscal year, reflecting the slowdown in the PC market.

Based on industry estimates of unit shipments, the notebook market is anticipated to increase approximately 6%, and the mobile smartphone market is anticipated to increase approximately 27% in calendar year 2013 compared with calendar year 2012.

Gross Margin.

Gross margin as a percentage of net revenue was 48.3%, or $69.0 million, for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 compared with 47.2%, or $68.7 million, for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. The 110 basis point improvement in gross margin was primarily attributable to favorable mix of higher margin mobile product application revenue driven in part by the continued shift in mobile product revenue from lower margin full sensor module and tail solutions to higher margin chip solutions.

Gross margin as a percentage of net revenue was 48.0%, or $129.6 million, for the six months ended December 31, 2012 compared with 46.6%, or $130.0 million, for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The 140 basis point improvement in gross margin was primarily attributable to favorable mix of higher margin mobile product application revenue driven in part by the continued shift in mobile product revenue from lower margin full sensor module and tail solutions to higher margin chip solutions.

We continuously introduce new product solutions, many of which have life cycles of less than a year. Further, as we sell our capacitive sensing technology in designs that are generally unique or specific to an OEM customer’s application, gross margin varies on a product-by-product basis, making our cumulative gross margin a blend of our product specific designs and independent of the vertical markets that our products serve. As a virtual manufacturer, our gross margin percentage is generally not impacted materially by our shipment volume. We charge write-downs to reduce the carrying value of obsolete, slow moving, and non-usable inventory to net realizable value, including warranty costs, to cost of revenue.

Operating Expenses.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased $4.4 million to $34.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 compared with the quarter ended December 31, 2011. The increase in research and development expenses primarily reflected a $2.8 million increase in employee-related costs, which included our annual merit increase and additional headcount associated with our recent acquisitions, a $908,000 increase in temporary employee expenses, and a $729,000 increase in infrastructure-related costs.

Research and development expenses increased $9.0 million to $67.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 compared with the six months ended December 31, 2011. The increase in research and development expenses primarily reflected a $5.4 million increase in employee-related costs, which included our annual merit increase and additional headcount associated with our recent acquisitions, a $1.4 million increase in temporary employee expenses, and a $1.3 million increase in infrastructure-related costs.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $1.3 million to $19.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 compared with the quarter ended December 31, 2011. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses primarily reflected an $899,000 increase in support costs, a $414,000 increase in professional fees, and a $214,000 increase in employee-related costs, which included our annual merit increase and additional headcount associated with our recent acquisitions.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $3.5 million to $37.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 compared with the six months ended December 31, 2011. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses primarily reflected a $1.6 million increase in support costs, a $1.2 million increase in employee-related costs, which included our annual merit increase and additional headcount associated with our recent acquisitions, a $591,000 increase in professional fees, and a $375,000 increase in temporary employee expenses.

Provision for Income Taxes.

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. We consider the operating earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely invested outside the United States. Accordingly, no provision has been made for the U.S. federal, state, or foreign taxes that may result from future remittances of undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries.

The provision for income taxes of $4.0 million for each of the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, represented estimated federal, foreign, and state income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was 26.6% and diverged from the combined federal and state statutory rate primarily because of foreign income taxed at lower tax rates and the release of unrecognized tax benefits, partially offset by foreign withholding taxes, net unrecognized tax benefits associated with qualified stock options, and a net decrease to the liability for uncertain tax positions. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was 18.8% and diverged from the combined federal and state statutory rate primarily because of foreign income taxed at lower tax rates, the retroactive reinstatement of the federal research credit, and the state research credit, partially offset by foreign withholding taxes and net unrecognized tax benefit associated with qualified stock options. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2012 included a release of unrecognized tax benefits of $920,000 for the lapse of a statute that should have been recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. The impact of this adjustment was not material to the consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2012 or to the estimated consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2013.

In May 2011, we were notified by the Service that our fiscal 2003 through 2006 and fiscal 2008 through 2010 would be subject to an audit. The early periods are being audited in connection with a mandatory review of tax refunds in excess of $2.0 million when we carried back our fiscal 2008 net operating loss. In October 2012, we received a final examination report with a total proposed tax deficiency of $2.0 million over the examination periods, excluding interest and penalties. We filed a protest in October 2012 to contest the proposed adjustments through the appeals process. While we believe our unrecognized tax benefits associated with the years and issues under audit are adequate, we can make no assurances that an assessment, if any, will not exceed our accrued unrecognized tax benefits.

On January 2, 2013 President Barack Obama signed into law the Act. The Act extends the federal research credit for two years retroactively from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013. As such, we will recognize approximately $2.5 million of tax benefits in our third fiscal quarter, the financial period that includes the enactment date.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash and cash equivalents were $292.5 million as of December 31, 2012 compared with $305.0 million as of June 30, 2012, a decrease of $12.5 million. The decrease reflects the combination of $44.9 million provided from operating cash flows and $2.2 million of proceeds from the sales and maturities of non-current investments, offset by $20.9 million used for the purchase of property and equipment, $5.0 million used for the acquisition of a business, $4.6 million used for the payment of contingent consideration, and $31.3 million used to repurchase 1,240,440 shares of our common stock. We consider earnings of our foreign subsidiaries indefinitely invested overseas and have made no provision for income or withholding taxes that may result from a future repatriation of those earnings. As of December 31, 2012, $268.0 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by our foreign subsidiaries. If these funds are needed for our operations in the United States, we would be required to accrue and pay U.S. federal, foreign, and state taxes to repatriate these funds.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Operating activities during the six months ended December 31, 2012 generated net cash of $44.9 million compared with $60.2 million of net cash generated during the six months ended December 31, 2011. For the six months ended December 31, 2012, net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to net income of $17.2 million plus adjustments for non-cash charges of $20.2 million, and a $7.6 million net change in operating assets and liabilities. The net change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily attributable to a $5.1 million decrease in accounts receivable, a $7.0 million increase in other accrued liabilities, partially offset by a $6.4 million decrease in income taxes payable and a $3.1 million decrease in accounts payable. From June 30, 2012 to December 31, 2012, our days sales outstanding decreased from 68 to 62 days and our inventory turns remained unchanged at 9.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Our investing activities primarily relate to purchases of property and equipment and business purchases. Investing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2012 used net cash of $23.7 million compared with $3.8 million during the six months ended December 31, 2011. During the six months ended December 31, 2012, net cash used in investing activities consisted of $20.9 million used for the purchase of property and equipment (which included $11.9 million for the purchase of buildings and land), $5.0 million used for the acquisition of a business, partially offset by proceeds of $2.2 million from the sale and redemption of non-current investments.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2012 was $33.6 million compared with $21.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011. Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2012 included $31.3 million used to repurchase 1,240,440 shares of our common stock as well as $4.6 million used for the portion of the payment of contingent consideration identified as a financing activity.

Common Stock Repurchase Program. Our Board of Directors has cumulatively authorized $520.0 million for our stock repurchase program, expiring in October 2013. The program authorizes us to purchase our common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, depending upon market conditions and other factors. The number of shares purchased and the timing of purchases is based on the level of our cash balances, general business and market conditions, and other factors, including alternative investment opportunities. Common stock purchased under this program is held as treasury stock. From April 2005 through December 31, 2012, we purchased 17,024,532 shares of our common stock in the open market for an aggregate cost of $445.2 million. Treasury shares purchased prior to August 28, 2008 were not subject to the stock split on that date. As of December 31, 2012, we had $74.8 million remaining under our common stock repurchase program.

Bank Credit Facility. We maintain a $50.0 million working capital line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank. The Wells Fargo Bank revolving line of credit, which expires on September 1, 2013, provides for an interest rate equal to the prime lending rate or 250 basis points above LIBOR, depending on whether we choose a variable or fixed rate, respectively. We had not borrowed any amounts under the line of credit as of December 31, 2012.

$100 Million Shelf Registration.We have registered an aggregate of $100.0 million of common stock and preferred stock for issuance in connection with acquisitions, which shares generally will be freely tradable after their issuance under Rule 145 of the Securities Act unless held by an affiliate of the acquired company, in which case such shares will be subject to the volume and manner of sale restrictions of Rule 144.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and other cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue, the timing and extent of spending to support product development efforts, costs related to protecting our intellectual property, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing of introductions of new products and enhancements to existing products, the costs to ensure access to adequate manufacturing capacity, the costs of maintaining sufficient space or renovating recently acquired building space for our expanding workforce, the continuing market acceptance of our product solutions, our common stock repurchase program, and the amount and timing of our investments in, or acquisitions of, other technologies or companies. Further equity or debt financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If sufficient funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, our ability to take advantage of business opportunities or to respond to competitive pressures could be limited or severely constrained.

Our non-current investments consist of ARS investments, which have failed to settle in auctions. These investments are not liquid, and in the event we need to access these funds, we will not be able to do so without a loss of principal, unless redeemed by the issuers or a future auction on these investments is successful.

Based on our ability to access our cash and cash equivalents, our expected operating cash flows, and our other sources of cash, we do not anticipate the lack of liquidity on these investments will affect our ability to operate our business as usual. Further, we do not anticipate the need to remit any undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to meet our working capital and other cash requirements.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

Our material contractual obligations and commercial commitments were presented as of June 30, 2012 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year then ended. Except as discussed below, there have been no material changes in those obligations during the first six months of fiscal 2013.

We have unrecognized tax benefits of $23.0 million. We were previously under audit by a tax agency and we received the final examination report in September 2012. In response to the final examination report, we filed our protest in October 2012 and contested the proposed adjustments through the appeals process. While we believe our unrecognized tax benefits associated with the years and issues under audit are adequate, we can make no assurances that an assessment, if any, will not exceed our accrued unrecognized tax benefits. Currently we anticipate resolving our protest with the Service during our fiscal 2013; otherwise, the appeal process will likely extend into our fiscal 2014 and could result in a change to our unrecognized tax benefits.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our market risk has not changed materially from the interest rate and foreign currency exchange risks disclosed in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, which included inquiries made to certain other of our employees. Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed and are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and are effective and sufficient to ensure that we record, process, summarize, and report information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms.

During the fiscal quarter covered by this report, there have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
