Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies: | |||||||||
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared by Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (“Lattice,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in our opinion include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of results for the interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012. | |||||||||
We report based on a 52 or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. Our third quarter of fiscal 2013 and third quarter of fiscal 2012 ended on September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012, respectively. All references to quarterly, three or nine months ended financial results are references to the results for the relevant fiscal period. | |||||||||
Principles of Consolidation | |||||||||
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Lattice and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned, after the elimination of all intercompany balances and transactions. Certain balances in prior fiscal years have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current year. | |||||||||
Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities | |||||||||
We consider all investments that are readily convertible into cash and have original maturities of three months or less, to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments in time deposits or money market accounts and are carried at cost. We account for marketable securities as available for sale with unrealized gains or losses recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), unless losses are considered other-than-temporary, in which case, losses are charged to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). | |||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |||||||||
We invest in various financial instruments including corporate and government bonds, notes, commercial paper and auction rate securities. The Company values these instruments at their fair value and monitors their portfolio for impairment on a periodic basis. In the event that the carrying value of an investment exceeds its fair value and the decline in value is determined to be other than temporary, the Company records an impairment charge and establishes a new carrying value. We assess other-than-temporary impairment of marketable securities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The framework under the provisions of ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Each level of input has different levels of subjectivity and difficulty involved in determining fair value. | |||||||||
Level 1 instruments are characterized generally by quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Therefore, determining fair value for Level 1 instruments generally does not require significant management judgment, and the estimation is not difficult. | |||||||||
Level 2 instruments include inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices for identical instruments 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 instruments include 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 auction rate securities are classified as Level 3 instruments. Management uses a combination of the market and income approach to derive the fair value of auction rate securities, which includes third party valuation results, investment broker provided market information and available information on the credit quality of the underlying collateral. As a result, the determination of fair value for Level 3 instruments requires significant management judgment and subjectivity. Our Level 3 instruments are classified as Long-term marketable securities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are entirely made up of auction rate securities that consist of student loan asset-backed notes. Such loans are insured by the federal government or guaranteed by the Federal Family Educational Loan Program ("FFELP"). Fair value measurement may be sensitive to various unobservable inputs such as the ability of students to repay their loans, or change in the provision of government guarantees policy toward guaranteeing loan repayment. If students are unable to pay back their loans or the government changes its policy, our investments may be further impaired. | |||||||||
Foreign Exchange and Translation of Foreign Currencies | |||||||||
We have international subsidiary and branch operations. In addition, a portion of our silicon wafer and other purchases are denominated in Japanese yen and we bill certain Japanese customers in yen. Gains or losses from foreign exchange rate fluctuations on balances denominated in foreign currencies are reflected in Other income, net. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions were not significant for the periods presented. We translate accounts denominated in foreign currencies in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters,” using the current rate method under which asset and liability accounts are translated at the current rate, while stockholders' equity accounts are translated at the appropriate historical rates, and revenue and expense accounts are translated at average monthly exchange rates. Translation adjustments related to the consolidation of foreign subsidiary financial statements are reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in Stockholders' equity. | |||||||||
Derivative Financial Instruments | |||||||||
At September 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, we had open foreign exchange contracts of 120,000,000 JPY and 150,000,000 JPY, respectively. The contracts outstanding at September 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 were settled in October 2013 and January 2013, respectively. Although such hedges mitigate our foreign currency exchange rate exposure from an economic perspective, they were not designated as "effective" hedges for accounting purposes and are adjusted to fair value through earnings, with an impact of less than $0.1 million for the periods reported. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. | |||||||||
Concentration Risk | |||||||||
Potential exposure to concentration risk consists primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade receivables and supply of wafers for our new products. We place our investments primarily through three financial institutions and mitigate the concentration of credit risk by limiting the maximum portion of the investment portfolio which may be invested in any one instrument. The Company's investment policy defines approved credit ratings for investment securities. Investments on-hand consisted primarily of money market instruments, “AA” or better corporate notes and bonds and commercial paper, and U.S. government agency obligations. See Note 4 for a discussion of the liquidity attributes of our marketable securities. | |||||||||
Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is mitigated by a geographically diverse customer base and our credit and collection process. Accounts receivable do not bear interest, and are shown net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $0.9 million and $1.1 million at September 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. We perform credit evaluations for essentially all customers and secure transactions with letters of credit or advance payments where appropriate. We regularly review our allowance for doubtful accounts and the aging of our accounts receivable. Write-offs for uncollected trade receivables have not been significant to date. | |||||||||
We rely on a limited number of foundries for our wafer purchases including: Fujitsu Limited, Seiko Epson Corporation, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd, United Microelectronics Corporation, and GLOBALFOUNDRIES. | |||||||||
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Income | |||||||||
We sell our products directly to end customers or through a network of independent manufacturers' representatives and indirectly through a network of independent sell-in and sell-through distributors. Distributors provide periodic data regarding the product, price, quantity, and end customer when products are resold, as well as the quantities of our products they still have in stock. | |||||||||
Revenue from sales to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") or sell-in distributors is recognized upon shipment. Revenue from sales by our sell-through distributors is recognized at the time of reported resale. Under both types of revenue recognition, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, title has transferred, collection of resulting receivables is reasonably assured, and there are no remaining customer acceptance requirements and no remaining significant performance obligations. | |||||||||
Orders from our sell-through distributors are initially recorded at published list prices; however, for a majority of our sales, the final selling price is determined at the time of resale and in accordance with a distributor price agreement. In certain circumstances, we allow sell-through distributors to return unsold products. At times, we protect our sell-through distributors against reductions in published list prices. For these reasons, we do not recognize revenue until products are resold by sell-through distributors to an end customer. | |||||||||
For sell-through distributors, at the time of shipment to distributors, we (a) record Accounts receivable, net at published list price since there is a legally enforceable obligation from the distributor to pay us currently for product delivered, (b) relieve inventory for the carrying value of goods shipped since legal title has passed to the distributor, and (c) record deferred revenue and deferred cost of sales in Deferred income and allowances on sales to sell-through distributors in the liability section of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The final price is set at the time of resale and is determined in accordance with a distributor price agreement. Revenue and cost of products sold to sell-through distributors are deferred until either the product is resold by the distributor or, in certain cases, return privileges terminate, at which time Revenue and Cost of products sold are reflected in Net Income (loss), and Accounts receivable, net are adjusted to reflect the final selling price. | |||||||||
The components of Deferred income and allowances on sales to sell-through distributors are presented in the following table (in thousands): | |||||||||
September 28, | December 29, | ||||||||
2013 | 2012 | ||||||||

Total Deferred income and allowances on sales to sell-through distributors | $ | 17,587 | $ | 10,553 | |||||
A significant portion of our year-to-date revenue in fiscal 2013 has been from sell-through distributors. Resale of products by sell-through distributors as a percentage of total revenue was 41% and 44% for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2013, respectively, and 56% and 55% for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2012, respectively. | |||||||||
We must use estimates and apply judgment to reconcile sell-through distributors' reported inventories to their activities. Errors in our estimates or judgments could result in inaccurate reporting of our Revenue, Cost of products sold, Deferred income and allowances on sales to sell-through distributors, and Net Income (loss). | |||||||||
Use of Estimates | |||||||||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and classification of assets, such as marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventory, auction rate securities, goodwill (including the assessment of reporting unit), intangible assets, current and deferred income taxes, accrued liabilities (including restructuring charges and bonus arrangements), deferred income and allowances on sales to sell-through distributors, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the fiscal periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |

New Accounting Pronouncements: | |
In June 2013, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached consensus on ASU 2013-11 Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The consensus requires companies to present the unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction of the Deferred tax asset for a Net Operating Loss ("NOL") or similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforward rather than as a liability when the uncertain tax position would reduce the NOL or other carryforward under the tax law. We early adopted this requirement in June 2013 with retrospective application as permitted by the standard. Amounts presented in prior periods have been reclassified to conform. This resulted in both long-term taxes payable and deferred tax assets declining by approximately $14 million for all periods presented. |

Net income (loss) Per Share: | ||||||||||||||||
We compute basic net income (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. To determine diluted share count, we apply the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive effect of outstanding stock option shares, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") shares. Our application of the treasury stock method includes, as assumed proceeds, the average unamortized stock-based compensation expense for the period and the impact of the pro forma deferred tax benefit or cost associated with stock-based compensation expense. | ||||||||||||||||

The computation of diluted Net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2013, includes the effects of stock options, RSUs and ESPP shares aggregating approximately 1.3 million shares and 1.4 million shares, respectively, as they are dilutive, and excludes the effects of stock options, RSUs and ESPP shares aggregating approximately 8.6 million shares and 8.5 million shares, respectively, as they are antidilutive. The computation of diluted Net loss per share for both the three and nine months ended September 29, 2012 excludes the effects of stock options, RSUs and ESPP shares aggregating approximately 11.3 million shares, as they are antidilutive. Stock options, RSUs and ESPP shares are considered antidilutive when the aggregate of exercise price, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense and excess tax benefit are greater than the average market price for our common stock during the period or when the Company is in a net loss position, as the effects would reduce the loss per share. Stock options and RSUs that are dilutive in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2013 could become antidilutive in the future. |

We invest in various financial instruments including corporate and government bonds and notes, commercial paper and auction rate securities. In addition, we enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to mitigate our foreign currency exchange rate exposure. We carry these instruments at their fair value in accordance with ASC 820. The framework under the provisions of ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Each level of input has different levels of subjectivity and difficulty involved in determining fair value. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Level 1 instruments generally represent quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Therefore, determining fair value for Level 1 instruments generally does not require significant management judgment, and the estimation is not difficult. Our Level 1 instruments consist of federal agency, corporate notes and bonds, and commercial paper that are traded in active markets and are classified as Short-term marketable securities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Level 2 instruments include inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices for identical instruments 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 instruments include 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 auction rate securities are classified as Level 3 instruments. Management uses a combination of the market and income approach to derive the fair value of auction rate securities, which include third party valuation results, investment broker provided market information and available information on the credit quality of the underlying collateral. As a result, the determination of fair value for Level 3 instruments requires significant management judgment and subjectivity. Our Level 3 instruments are classified as Long-term marketable securities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are entirely made up of auction rate securities that consist of student loan asset-backed notes. Such loans are insured by the federal government or guaranteed by the FFELP. Fair value measurement may be sensitive to various unobservable inputs such as the ability of students to repay their loans, or change in the provision of government guarantees policy toward guaranteeing loan repayment. If students are unable to pay back their loans or the government changes its policy, our investments may be further impaired. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the first nine months ended fiscal 2013 or 2012. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the first nine months ended fiscal 2013 or 2012. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

In accordance with ASC 320, “Investments-Debt and Equity Securities,” we recorded an unrealized loss of less than $0.1 million during the nine months ended September 28, 2013, and an unrealized gain of less than $0.1 million during the nine months ended September 29, 2012, on certain Short-term marketable securities (Level 1 instruments), which has been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Future fluctuations in fair value related to these instruments that the Company deems to be temporary, including any recoveries of previous write-downs, would be recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive loss. If we were to determine in the future that any further decline in fair value is other-than-temporary, we would record an impairment charge, which could have a materially detrimental impact on our operating results. If we were to liquidate our position in these securities, it is likely that the amount of any future realized gain or loss would be different from the unrealized gain or loss reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) or the previously reported other-than-temporary impairment charge. |

Business Combinations and Goodwill: | |
In December 2011, we acquired SiliconBlue Technologies Ltd. ("SiliconBlue") for $63.2 million in cash. Of the total purchase price, $43.9 million was allocated to goodwill, $18.5 million was allocated to intangible assets, and the remaining to net tangible assets acquired. The goodwill and identifiable intangible assets are not deductible for tax purposes. SiliconBlue was consolidated into our financial statements beginning in December 2011. | |
Inventories were recorded at their estimated fair value ("step-up"), which represented an amount equivalent to estimated selling prices less fulfillment costs and a normative selling profit. The step-up of $0.3 million was charged to Acquisition related charges during the six months ended June 30, 2012, approximating the estimated inventory turnover for this particular product. | |
In July 2011, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Rise Technology Development Limited ("Rise"), for $1.0 million in cash. Of the purchase price, $0.9 million was allocated to goodwill and the remaining to net tangible assets acquired. | |
No impairment charges relating to goodwill and intangible assets were recorded for the first nine months of 2013 or 2012. |

Amortization expense associated with these intangible assets is reported as Acquisition related charges, including the amortization of intangible assets in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and amounted to $0.7 million in each of the third quarters of the fiscal years ended 2013 and 2012. We expect amortization expense related to these intangible assets to approximate $2.9 million each year in fiscal years 2013 - 2016, $2.2 million in 2017, and $1.5 million in 2018. | |||||||||||||||
Acquisition related charges, including amortization of intangible assets in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) also include severance and professional fees related to the acquisition, as well as the amortization of the stepped-up value of inventory, collectively amounting to $0.2 million in the third quarter of the fiscal year 2012. |

Income Taxes: | |
For the three months ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012, we recorded an income tax provision of approximately $0.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012, we recorded an income tax provision of approximately $3.0 million and $20.3 million, respectively. The income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2013 represents tax at the federal, state and foreign statutory tax rates adjusted for non-deductible stock compensation, withholding taxes, changes in uncertain tax positions as well as other non-deductible items in foreign jurisdictions. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% and our effective tax rate is primarily due to income earned in lower tax rate jurisdictions, for which no U.S. income tax has been provided, as we intend to permanently reinvest these earnings outside of the United States. | |
On December 31, 2011, we began to implement a global tax structure to more effectively align our corporate structure with the geographic business operations including responsibility for sales and manufacturing activities. As part of this tax restructuring, we created new and realigned existing legal entities, completed intercompany sales of rights to intellectual property, inventory and fixed assets across different tax jurisdictions, and implemented cost-sharing and intellectual property licensing and royalty agreements between our U.S. and foreign entities. | |
The global tax structure was completed during the first quarter of 2012 upon the intercompany sale of inventory and fixed assets. During 2012, this inventory was sold to end customers in the ordinary course of business resulting in income before taxes in the United States and a loss before taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions. Because these foreign jurisdictions have 0% income tax rates, we received no tax benefit associated with the losses resulting in a significant foreign rate differential. Taxes were applied to the U.S. income resulting from the intercompany sale based on U.S. statutory rates, offset by deferred tax assets. This resulted in an increase to the effective tax rate and a net income tax provision of $1.9 million and $20.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 29, 2012, respectively. | |
We are subject to federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to federal, state and local, or foreign income tax examinations for years before 2010, 2008 and 2007, respectively. However, "NOL" and credit carryforwards from all years are subject to examination and adjustments for at least three years following the year in which the attributes are used. Our 2011 federal income tax return is currently under examination. We are not under examination in any other tax jurisdictions. | |
We believe that it is reasonably possible that $0.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits and $0.3 million of associated interest and penalties could be recognized during the next twelve months. The $0.6 million potential change would represent a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits, comprised of items related to state income tax credits claimed and foreign tax filings for years that will no longer be subject to examination under expiring statutes of limitations. | |
We have federal net operating loss carryforwards that expire at various dates between 2023 and 2032. We have state net operating loss carryforwards that expire at various dates from 2013 through 2032. We also have federal and state credit carryforwards, some of which do not expire, with the remainder expiring at various dates from 2013 through 2032. | |
We are paying foreign income taxes, which are reflected in the Provision for income taxes in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and are primarily related to the cost of operating offshore subsidiaries. We are not currently paying federal income taxes and do not expect to pay such taxes until our tax net operating loss and credit carryforwards are fully utilized. We expect to pay a nominal amount of state income tax. We accrue interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the Provision for income taxes. | |
The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which reinstated the U.S. federal research and development tax credit retroactively from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013, was enacted into law during the three months ended March 30, 2013. The tax benefit resulting from the reinstatement of the federal research and development tax credit was offset by a valuation allowance and therefore did not impact our annual effective tax rate. |

Legal Matters: | |
On June 11, 2007, a patent infringement lawsuit was filed by Lizy K. John (“John”) against us in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division. In the complaint, John seeks an injunction, unspecified damages, and attorneys' fees and expenses. We filed a request for re-examination of the patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”), which was granted by the PTO. The litigation was stayed pending the results of the re-examination. After the re-examination concluded, the stay was lifted on January 1, 2012, and the lawsuit was transferred by consent of the parties to the Northern District of California. We also filed a request for a second re-examination of the patent, which was granted and is still pending. Discovery is open and proceeding. Trial is scheduled for December 8, 2014. At this stage of the proceedings, we do not have an estimate of the likelihood or the amount of any potential exposure to us. We believe we possess defenses to these claims and intend to vigorously defend this litigation. It is reasonably possible that the actual losses may exceed our accrued liabilities, however, we cannot currently estimate such amount. | |
We are also exposed to certain other asserted and unasserted potential claims. There can be no assurance that, with respect to potential claims made against us, we could resolve such claims under terms and conditions that would not have a material adverse effect on our business, our liquidity or our financial results. Periodically, we review the status of each significant matter and assess its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and a range of possible losses can be estimated, we then accrue a liability for the estimated loss based on the provisions of FASB ASC 450, “Contingencies" (“ASC 450”). Legal proceedings are subject to uncertainties, and the outcomes are difficult to predict. Because of such uncertainties, accruals are based only on the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, we reassess the potential liability related to pending claims and litigation and may revise estimates. Presently, no accrual has been estimated under ASC 450 for potential losses that may or may not arise from the current lawsuits in which we are involved. |

Marketable Securities | ' | ||||||||

Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ' | ||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |||||||||
We invest in various financial instruments including corporate and government bonds, notes, commercial paper and auction rate securities. The Company values these instruments at their fair value and monitors their portfolio for impairment on a periodic basis. In the event that the carrying value of an investment exceeds its fair value and the decline in value is determined to be other than temporary, the Company records an impairment charge and establishes a new carrying value. We assess other-than-temporary impairment of marketable securities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The framework under the provisions of ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Each level of input has different levels of subjectivity and difficulty involved in determining fair value. | |||||||||
Level 1 instruments are characterized generally by quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Therefore, determining fair value for Level 1 instruments generally does not require significant management judgment, and the estimation is not difficult. | |||||||||
Level 2 instruments include inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices for identical instruments 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 instruments include 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 auction rate securities are classified as Level 3 instruments. Management uses a combination of the market and income approach to derive the fair value of auction rate securities, which includes third party valuation results, investment broker provided market information and available information on the credit quality of the underlying collateral. As a result, the determination of fair value for Level 3 instruments requires significant management judgment and subjectivity. Our Level 3 instruments are classified as Long-term marketable securities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are entirely made up of auction rate securities that consist of student loan asset-backed notes. Such loans are insured by the federal government or guaranteed by the Federal Family Educational Loan Program ("FFELP"). Fair value measurement may be sensitive to various unobservable inputs such as the ability of students to repay their loans, or change in the provision of government guarantees policy toward guaranteeing loan repayment. If students are unable to pay back their loans or the government changes its policy, our investments may be further impaired. | |||||||||

Foreign Exchange and Translation of Foreign Currencies | |||||||||
We have international subsidiary and branch operations. In addition, a portion of our silicon wafer and other purchases are denominated in Japanese yen and we bill certain Japanese customers in yen. Gains or losses from foreign exchange rate fluctuations on balances denominated in foreign currencies are reflected in Other income, net. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions were not significant for the periods presented. We translate accounts denominated in foreign currencies in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters,” using the current rate method under which asset and liability accounts are translated at the current rate, while stockholders' equity accounts are translated at the appropriate historical rates, and revenue and expense accounts are translated at average monthly exchange rates. Translation adjustments related to the consolidation of foreign subsidiary financial statements are reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in Stockholders' equity. | |||||||||

At September 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, we had open foreign exchange contracts of 120,000,000 JPY and 150,000,000 JPY, respectively. The contracts outstanding at September 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 were settled in October 2013 and January 2013, respectively. Although such hedges mitigate our foreign currency exchange rate exposure from an economic perspective, they were not designated as "effective" hedges for accounting purposes and are adjusted to fair value through earnings, with an impact of less than $0.1 million for the periods reported. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. | |||||||||
Concentration Risk | ' | ||||||||
Concentration Risk | |||||||||
Potential exposure to concentration risk consists primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade receivables and supply of wafers for our new products. We place our investments primarily through three financial institutions and mitigate the concentration of credit risk by limiting the maximum portion of the investment portfolio which may be invested in any one instrument. The Company's investment policy defines approved credit ratings for investment securities. Investments on-hand consisted primarily of money market instruments, “AA” or better corporate notes and bonds and commercial paper, and U.S. government agency obligations. See Note 4 for a discussion of the liquidity attributes of our marketable securities. | |||||||||
Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is mitigated by a geographically diverse customer base and our credit and collection process. Accounts receivable do not bear interest, and are shown net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $0.9 million and $1.1 million at September 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. We perform credit evaluations for essentially all customers and secure transactions with letters of credit or advance payments where appropriate. We regularly review our allowance for doubtful accounts and the aging of our accounts receivable. Write-offs for uncollected trade receivables have not been significant to date. | |||||||||

Revenue from sales to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") or sell-in distributors is recognized upon shipment. Revenue from sales by our sell-through distributors is recognized at the time of reported resale. Under both types of revenue recognition, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, title has transferred, collection of resulting receivables is reasonably assured, and there are no remaining customer acceptance requirements and no remaining significant performance obligations. | |||||||||
Orders from our sell-through distributors are initially recorded at published list prices; however, for a majority of our sales, the final selling price is determined at the time of resale and in accordance with a distributor price agreement. In certain circumstances, we allow sell-through distributors to return unsold products. At times, we protect our sell-through distributors against reductions in published list prices. For these reasons, we do not recognize revenue until products are resold by sell-through distributors to an end customer. | |||||||||
For sell-through distributors, at the time of shipment to distributors, we (a) record Accounts receivable, net at published list price since there is a legally enforceable obligation from the distributor to pay us currently for product delivered, (b) relieve inventory for the carrying value of goods shipped since legal title has passed to the distributor, and (c) record deferred revenue and deferred cost of sales in Deferred income and allowances on sales to sell-through distributors in the liability section of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The final price is set at the time of resale and is determined in accordance with a distributor price agreement. Revenue and cost of products sold to sell-through distributors are deferred until either the product is resold by the distributor or, in certain cases, return privileges terminate, at which time Revenue and Cost of products sold are reflected in Net Income (loss), and Accounts receivable, net are adjusted to reflect the final selling price. | |||||||||

A significant portion of our year-to-date revenue in fiscal 2013 has been from sell-through distributors. Resale of products by sell-through distributors as a percentage of total revenue was 41% and 44% for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2013, respectively, and 56% and 55% for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2012, respectively. | |||||||||
We must use estimates and apply judgment to reconcile sell-through distributors' reported inventories to their activities. Errors in our estimates or judgments could result in inaccurate reporting of our Revenue, Cost of products sold, Deferred income and allowances on sales to sell-through distributors, and Net Income (loss). | |||||||||
Use of Estimates | ' | ||||||||
Use of Estimates | |||||||||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and classification of assets, such as marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventory, auction rate securities, goodwill (including the assessment of reporting unit), intangible assets, current and deferred income taxes, accrued liabilities (including restructuring charges and bonus arrangements), deferred income and allowances on sales to sell-through distributors, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the fiscal periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |||||||||

New Accounting Pronouncements: | |||||||||
In June 2013, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached consensus on ASU 2013-11 Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The consensus requires companies to present the unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction of the Deferred tax asset for a Net Operating Loss ("NOL") or similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforward rather than as a liability when the uncertain tax position would reduce the NOL or other carryforward under the tax law. We early adopted this requirement in June 2013 with retrospective application as permitted by the standard. Amounts presented in prior periods have been reclassified to conform. This resulted in both long-term taxes payable and deferred tax assets declining by approximately $14 million for all periods presented. |
