NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. The Company and Basis of Presentation

QuickLogic Corporation, founded in 1988, operates in a single industry segment where it designs, develops, markets and supports advanced field programmable gate array semiconductors (“FPGAs”), embedded standard products (“ESPs”) and associated software and hardware tools.

The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States of America and include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of our management, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. While our management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the financial information not misleading, it is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

QuickLogic Corporation’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to December 31.  The current three month period ended Sunday, September 29, 2002.  For presentation purposes, the financial statements and notes have been presented as ending on the last day of the nearest calendar month.

The Company primarily uses the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in income as they occur. The effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations was not significant. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of QuickLogic Corporation and its wholly–owned subsidiaries, QuickLogic International, Inc., QuickLogic Canada Company, QuickLogic Kabushiki Kaisha, QuickLogic (India) Private Limited, and QuickLogic GmbH. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Uses of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could vary from those estimates, and material effects on our operating results and financial position may result.

Note 2. Net Income Per Share

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options. A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted per share computations is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended September  30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2002			2001			2002			2001
Numerator:
Net loss	$	(6,020	)	$	(12,360	)	$	(12,873	)	$	(20,925	)
Denominator:
Common stock	23,449			22,191			23,228			20,863
Weighted average shares outstanding for basic	23,449			22,191			23,228			20,863
Stock options	—			—			—			—
Weighted average shares outstanding for diluted	23,449			22,191			23,228			20,863

Diluted	$	(0.26	)	$	(0.56	)	$	(0.55	)	$	(1.00	)

7

For the nine months ended September 30 2002, 6,713,369 shares with a weighted average exercise price of $7.58 were excluded because their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, 6,968,447 shares with a weighted average exercise price of $8.22 were excluded because their effect would be anti-dilutive. While these options are currently anti-dilutive, they could be dilutive in the future.

Note 3. Investment in Tower Semiconductor, Ltd.

On May 28, 2002, the Company entered into an Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the original Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) signed December 12, 2000, with Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (“Tower”). Under the Amendment, the Company agreed to make its third and fourth payments of $3.7 million each on May 31, 2002 and October 1, 2002. In exchange for these payments, Tower agreed to issue shares with a value equal to 60% of the amount of these payments, and wafer purchase credits equal to 40% of the payments. The wafer purchase credits issued under the Amendment can be applied immediately toward wafer purchases from Tower, up to 7.5% of the value of the purchases. After July 1, 2005, they can be applied at up to 15% of the value of the wafer purchases. In addition, Tower released the Company from its lockup on 700,000 of the previously purchased shares, allowing the Company to sell these shares on the open market. On September 30, 2002, the Company’s balance sheet reflected a cumulative comprehensive loss of $1.2 million to account for the decrease in value of the 700,000 shares of Tower that were available for sale as of that date.

In fiscal 2001, the Company made payments of $14.0 million to purchase shares of common stock and wafer credits from Tower under the Agreement. In September of 2001, the Company wrote down its holding value of Tower shares by $6.8 million.  At December 31, 2001, the Company’s balance sheet reflected 951,926 shares in Tower with a carrying value of $5.4 million, and $1.8 million in wafer credits. On May 31, 2002, the Company made an additional payment of $3.7 million to Tower, and in exchange, received an additional 357,166 shares and $1.5 million in wafer credits. At September 30, 2002, the Company’s balance sheet reflected 1,309,092 shares in Tower with a carrying value of $6.4 million, and $3.2 million in wafer credits.  On October 1, 2002, the Company made its scheduled $3.7 million payment to Tower and received an additional 448,276 shares in Tower and an additional $1.5 million in wafer credits.

Note 4. V3 Semiconductor Acquisition

On August 1, 2001, the Company acquired certain assets of V3 Semiconductor, Inc., a Toronto based manufacturer of Application Specific Standard Products (ASSPs).  This acquisition is designed to accelerate the Company’s ESP strategy by strengthening the ability to develop and market system-level products for the communications and networking markets.  The results of V3 have been included in the Company’s operating results from the date of acquisition.  Details of the purchase are as follows (in thousands):

Acquisition Date	August 1, 2001
Shares issued	2,522
Value of shares issued	$	13,089
Direct acquisition cost	567
Total purchase price	$	13,656

The total purchase price for each acquisition has been allocated as follows (in thousands):

Fixed assets	$	1,170
Inventory	1,281
Assumed liabilities	(223		)
Goodwill	11,428
Total purchase price	$	13,656

The Company has not identified any intangible assets associated with the purchase, and accordingly has allocated to Goodwill all of the purchase price in excess of book value of net assets acquired.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information reflects the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, as if the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2001.

These pro forma results do not purport to be indicative of what operating results would have been, and may not be indicative of future operating results (in thousands, except per share data):

Note 6. Long-term Obligations

Notes Payable to Bank

In June, 2002, QuickLogic signed a $12.0 million credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank. The facility includes an $8.0 million revolving line of credit and a $4.0 million equipment financing line. The revolving line bears interest at prime, currently 4.75%. The equipment line bears interest at prime plus 0.75%, and is secured by the specific equipment or software financed. Interest payments on the revolving line are due monthly. The equipment financing line must be paid in 36 equal installments from the date of each advance. Any advances for software purchases must be paid in 30 equal installments from the date of each advance. Terms of the note require the

9

Company to maintain a tangible net worth of $49.0 million and to maintain cash and short-term investment balances of $15.0 million at Silicon Valley Bank.  At September 30, 2002, the Company had drawn $1.9 million against the equipment line, and $500,000 against the revolving line of credit, the Company’s tangible net worth was approximately $50.1 million and there was approximately $21.1 million of cash and short term investment balances on account at Silicon Valley Bank.

Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that covers executives and certain other key employees. This non-qualified plan is funded entirely by participants through voluntary deferrals of compensation. Income deferrals made by participants under this plan are deposited into a common trust account. The participants are allowed to diversify the assets, and the deferred compensation obligation is adjusted annually to reflect gains or losses on the assets in the trust. The assets are classified as trading assets and are reported as other assets. The related obligations are recorded as long-term obligations on the balance sheet.  The liability accrued under the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan as of September 30, 2002 was $813,000 compared to  $647,000 as of December 31, 2001.

Prepaid Royalty

In October 2000, QuickLogic entered into a technology license agreement with Aeroflex UTMC. Under the terms of the technology agreement, the Company received $750,000 of prepaid royalty from Aeroflex UTMC which will be recognized as revenue when products with the licensed technology are sold by Aeroflex UTMC. Aeroflex UTMC had not made any royalty–bearing shipments through September 30, 2002, and accordingly, no royalty income has been recognized.

Note 7. Deferred Stock Compensation

During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company granted options to purchase 866,000 shares of common stock at a price less than the fair market value of its common stock at the time of the grant and recorded related deferred stock compensation of $908,000, net of reversals associated with unvested shares of terminated employees. Such deferred stock compensation is being amortized ratably over the vesting period of the options. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, deferred stock compensation amortization was $251,000 and $316,000, respectively.

Note 8. New Accounting Pronouncements

In July, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” which addresses the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit or disposal activities.  SFAS No. 146 requires the recognition of a liability for a disposal activity, including those related to employee termination benefits and obligations under operating leases and order contracts, and that the liability be recognized when incurred and not necessarily on the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan.  SFAS No. 146 also establishes that the initial measurement of a liability be based on fair value.  The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged.

Note 9.  Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)  No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.  SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 142 as of January 1, 2002. Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but are subject to impairment tests on at least an annual basis in accordance with SFAS No. 142. Accordingly, the Company’s goodwill balance of $11.4 million will be subject to impairment tests annually, or earlier if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach. If an impairment is deemed to exist, it will be recorded at that time.  The Company completed a goodwill impairment review as of September 30, 2002, and found no impairment.

Note 10. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”.  SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income (loss) and it’s components in financial statements. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2002 the Company recorded a cumulative comprehensive loss in the amount of $1.2 million, which represents unrealized holding losses on available for sale shares of Tower Semiconductor Ltd.

10

Note 11. Income Taxes

Management believes that, based on a number of factors, the available objective evidence creates sufficient uncertainty regarding the realizability of the deferred tax assets such that a full valuation allowance has been recorded. These factors include the Company’s history of losses, that the market in which the Company competes is intensely competitive and characterized by rapidly changing technology, the lack of carry back capacity to realize deferred tax assets, and uncertainty regarding market acceptance of the Company’s products. Based on these factors, no provision for income taxes was recorded for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. The Company will continue to assess the realizability of the deferred tax assets in future periods.

Note 12. Information Concerning Business Segments and Major Customers

Information About Geographic Areas

All of the Company’s sales originate in the United States and are denominated in U.S. dollars. Shipments to some of the Company’s distributors are made to centralized purchasing and distributing locations, which in turn sell through to other locations. As a result of these factors, QuickLogic believes that sales to certain geographic locations might be higher or lower, though accurate data is difficult to obtain.

The following is a breakdown of revenues by shipment destination for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001:

	September 30, 2002		September 30, 2001
	(in thousands)
Regional Revenue:
Asia Pacific	$	2,343	$	1,978
Europe	5,007		5,644
Japan	3,148		2,644
North America	13,658		15,221
Total Revenue	$	24,156	$	25,487

Four distributors of the Company’s products accounted for approximately 19%, 13%, 7% and 6% of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Four distributors of the Company’s products accounted for approximately 23%, 10%, 8% and 6% of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2001.  No other customer accounted for more than 5% of revenues for the periods presented.  Less than 15% of the Company’s long-lived assets, including property and equipment and other assets, were located outside the United States.

Note 13. Commitments

On December 12, 2000 QuickLogic entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Tower Semiconductor Ltd. under which the Company agreed to make a $25 million strategic investment in Tower as part of Tower’s plan to build a new wafer fabrication facility. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company’s investment will be made in several stages over approximately 22 months, against satisfactory completion of key milestones for the construction, equipping and commencement of production at the new wafer fabrication facility. Tower will develop manufacturing capability for the Company’s proprietary ViaLink technology, and supply QuickLogic with a guaranteed portion of the new fabrication facility’s available wafer capacity at competitive pricing, with first production expected in 2003. Per the terms of the Agreement, the Company paid Tower three payments totaling $14 million in 2001. On May 28, the Company signed an amendment to this Agreement, which did not change the number or amount of the payments the Company agreed to make. Per the terms of the amended Agreement, the Company made two payments of $3.7 million each on May 31, 2002, and on October 1, 2002.  The Company has one payment of $3.7 million remaining under the Agreement.  This payment is expected to become due in 2003.

Note 14. Litigation

On October 26, 2001, a putative securities class action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against some investment banks that underwrote the Company’s initial public offerings, the Company, and some of the Company’s officers and directors. This lawsuit is now captioned In re QuickLogic Corp. Initial Public Offering Sec. Litig., Case No. 01-CV-9503.  The complaint  alleges  excessive and undisclosed commissions in connection with the allocation of shares of common stock in the Company’s initial public offering and  artificially high prices through “tie-in” arrangements which required customers to buy shares in the aftermarket at pre-determined prices in violation of the federal securities laws.  Plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages on behalf of persons who purchased the Company’s stock pursuant to the registration statements between October 14, 1999, and December 6, 2000.   The court

11

has appointed a lead plaintiff in this litigation.  On April 19, 2002, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint.  Various plaintiffs have filed similar actions asserting virtually identical allegations against over 300 other public companies, their underwriters, and their officers and directors arising out of each company’s public offering.  Defendants in these cases have filed omnibus motions to dismiss on common pleading issues.  Oral argument on these omnibus motions to dismiss has been scheduled.  The Company’s officers and directors have been voluntarily dismissed without prejudice.  The Company believes that the allegations against it are without merit and intends to defend the case vigorously.

The semiconductor industry has experienced a substantial amount of litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. From time to time, the Company has received and may receive in future, communications alleging that its products or processes may infringe on product or process technology rights held by others. The Company may in the future be involved in litigation with respect to alleged infringement by it of another party’s patents.

In the future, the Company may be involved with litigation to:

•              Enforce its patents or other intellectual property rights;

•              Protect its trade secrets and know-how;

•              Determine the validity or scope of the proprietary rights of others; and

•              Defend against claims of infringement or invalidity.

Such litigation has in the past and could in the future result in substantial costs and diversion of management resources. Such litigation could also result in payment of substantial damages and/or royalties or prohibitions against utilization of essential technologies, and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Note 15. Subsequent Events

On November 4, the Company announced it would cut its workforce by approximately 55 people worldwide (or approximately 25 percent of the Company’s workforce), as part of its ongoing cost reduction efforts in the face of the continuing semiconductor industry downturn.  The reduction is expected to be complete by November 30, 2002.  The Company expects to record a restructuring charge of up to  $800,000 in the fourth quarter of 2002.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and with our audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 14, 2002.

Statements in this section, and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-Q, which express that QuickLogic “believes”, “anticipates” or “plans to...”, as well as other statements which are not historical fact, are forward–looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual events or results may differ materially as a result of the risks and uncertainties described herein and elsewhere including, in particular, those factors described under “Factors Affecting Future Results.”

Overview

We design and sell field programmable gate arrays, embedded standard products, associated software and programming hardware. From our inception in April 1988 through the third quarter of 1991, we were primarily engaged in product development. In 1991, we introduced our first line of field programmable gate array products, or FPGAs, based upon our ViaLink technology. We currently have four FPGA product families: pASIC 1, introduced in 1991; pASIC 2, introduced in 1996; pASIC 3, introduced in 1997, and our Eclipse family of FPGAs which was introduced in 2000. The newer product families generally contain greater logic capacity, but do not necessarily replace sales of older generation products.

In September 1998, we introduced QuickRAM, our first line of embedded standard products, or ESPs. Our ESPs are based on our FPGA technology. In April 1999, we introduced QuickPCI, our second line of ESPs. During 2000, we introduced the QuickFC, QuickDSP, QuickSD and QuickMIPS families of ESPs. During 2001, we added the V3 products to our ESP offerings. We also license our QuickWorks and QuickTools design software and sell our programming hardware, which together have typically accounted for less than 2% of total revenue.

In April 2001, we signed a definitive agreement with V3 Semiconductor, Inc. to acquire certain assets of V3 in a stock transaction. V3, based in Toronto, Ontario, manufactured application specific standard products, or ASSPs, that enhance high-speed data throughput within telecommunications and Internet infrastructure systems. The acquisition was designed to accelerate our ESP strategy by strengthening our ability to develop and market system–level products for the communications and networking markets. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. To facilitate the asset sale and the subsequent windup of V3 as a distinct entity, V3 filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy laws in May 2001. In August 2001, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of V3. On June 20, 2002, V3’s plan of reorganization was approved by the bankruptcy court. During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 to allow V3 to sell sufficient shares to satisfy its creditors in cash. On July 17, 2002, the SEC declared the S-3 effective. Any remaining shares will be distributed to the stockholders of V3 in accordance with the plan of reorganization.

On December 12, 2000, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Tower Semiconductor Ltd. Under the Agreement, we agreed to make a $25 million strategic investment in Tower as part of Tower’s plan to build a new wafer fabrication facility. The new fabrication facility will produce 200-mm wafers in geometries of 0.18 micron and below, using advanced CMOS technology. In return for the investment, we will receive equity and committed production capacity in the advanced fabrication facility that Tower is building. In connection with the Agreement, we also entered into a foundry agreement under which we are entitled to a certain amount of wafer purchase credits.

On May 28, 2002, the Company entered into an Amendment to the original Tower Share Purchase Agreement. Under the Amendment, the Company agreed to make two payments of $3.7 million each on May 31, 2002 and October 1, 2002. In exchange for these payments, Tower agreed to issue shares with a value equal to 60% of the amount of these payments, and wafer purchase credits equal to 40% of the payments. The wafer purchase credits issued under the Amendment can be applied toward wafer purchases from Tower, up to 7.5% of the value of these purchases. After July 1, 2005, they can be applied at up to 15% of the value of the wafer purchases. In addition, Tower released the Company from its lockup on 700,000 of the previously purchased shares, allowing the Company to sell these shares on the open market.  Following the October 1, 2002 payment, we have a remaining payment of $3.7 million to be paid to Tower under the terms of the Agreement.  We believe this payment will become due in 2003.

We sell our products through two channels. We sell the majority of our products through distributors who have contractual rights to earn a negotiated margin on the sale of our products. We refer to these distributors as point-of-sale distributors. We defer recognition of revenue for sales of unprogrammed products to these point-of-sale distributors until after they have sold these products to systems manufacturers. Approximately 67% of our products sold by point-of-sale distributors are programmed by us and are not returnable by these point-of-sale distributors. We recognize revenue on these programmed products at the time of shipment. We also sell our products directly to systems manufacturers and recognize revenue at the time of shipment. The percentage of sales derived through each of these channels

13

was 69% and  31% percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to 62% and 38% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

Four distributors accounted for 19%, 13%, 7% and 6% of sales, respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 2002.  Four distributors accounted for 23%, 10%, 8% and 6% respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 2001. We expect that a limited number of distributors will continue to account for a significant portion of our total sales. We believe our products are proprietary and sole source, and that the loss of a particular distributor would not result in a short term disruption in sales of our products, since our customers would either buy our products from another distributor or directly from us.

Our international sales were 43% and 40% of our total sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. We expect that revenue derived from sales to international customers will continue to represent a significant and growing portion of our total revenue. All of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars.

The semiconductor industry is intensely competitive and our products are subject to price erosion.  Average selling prices for our products typically decline rapidly during the first six to 12 months after their introduction, then decline less rapidly as the products mature. We attempt to offset the overall reduction in sales from declining selling prices by introducing new products.  We attempt to maintain gross margins even as average selling prices decline through the introduction of new products with higher margins and through manufacturing efficiencies and cost reductions. However, the markets in which we operate are highly competitive, and we may not be able to successfully maintain gross margins. Any significant decline in our gross margins may materially harm our business.

We outsource the wafer manufacturing, assembly and test of all of our products. We rely primarily upon Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and Cypress Semiconductor Corporation to manufacture our products, and we rely primarily upon Amkor Technology, ChipPAC, Inc.  and ASE to assemble and test our products.   Once our supplier begins production, we are obligated to take delivery of, and pay for, the product that we have ordered.  Our wafer suppliers’ lead times are often as long as three months and sometimes longer.  In addition, under our arrangements with Cypress, we are obligated to provide forecasts and enter into binding obligations for anticipated wafer purchases.  These long manufacturing cycle time are at odds with our customers’ desire for short delivery lead times and as a result we typically purchase wafers based on internal forecasts of demand.  In the future, to the extent that we inaccurately forecast total demand or the mix of demand, we may have limited our ability to react to fluctuations in demand for our products, which could lead to excesses or shortages of wafers for a particular product.

Results of Operations

The following data has been derived from unaudited financial statements that, in our opinion, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the information. Our quarterly results have been in the past, and in the future may be, subject to fluctuations. As a result, we believe that results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period.

The following table sets forth the percentage of revenue for certain items in our statements of operations for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September  30,
	2002		2001		2002		2001
Revenue	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%
Cost of revenue	74.9		66.2		62.9		68.9
Gross profit	25.1		33.8		37.1		31.1
Research and development	47.7		56.2		44.0		40.5
Sales, general and administrative	48.4		66.2		47.3		52.2
Operating expenses	96.1		122.4		91.3		92.7
Operating loss	(71.0	)	(88.6	)	(54.2	)	(61.6	)
Writedown of marketable securities	—		(104.3	)	—		(26.8	)
Interest income and other, net	(1.4	)	4.6		0.9		6.3
Net loss	(72.4	)	(188.3	)	(53.3	)	(82.1	)

Three and Nine months Ended September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001

Revenue.  Revenue increased 26.7% to $8.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $6.6 million for the

14

three months ended September 30, 2001.  During the current quarter, we experienced increased unit sales for all products in all regions versus the three month period ended September 30, 2001. Our revenue growth since the third quarter of 2001 occurred between the third quarter of 2001 and the second quarter of 2002. Company sales increased sequentially by 4% in the fourth quarter of 2001, and by 10% and 12% sequentially in the first two quarters of 2002.  Revenue in the third quarter of 2002 was essentially flat sequentially.  Our management expects that sequential revenue growth in the fourth quarter of 2002 will be 0% to (5%).  We cannot assure you that this will occur and our actual revenues could differ materially from this expectation.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, revenue decreased 5.2% to $24.2 million from $25.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit was $2.1 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, which was 25.1% and 33.8% of revenue for those periods. During the current quarter, we wrote down inventory by $1.6 million.  This write down was primarily due to obsolescence reserves and charges on two products that were written down to their net realizable value. We are planning to reduce the cost of producing these two products.  Without this write down, our gross profit would have been 44.6% of revenues in the current quarter compared to 33.8% one year ago.  We expect that our gross profit will be between 40% and 50% of revenues for the next few quarters. Gross profit was $9.0 million and $7.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, which was 37.1% and 31.1% of revenue for those periods. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 we wrote down inventory by $1.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively.  Without these charges, our gross profit would have been approximately $10.6 million and $11.7 million, which was 43.8% and 45.7% of revenue for those periods.

Research and Development Expense.  Research and development expense includes personnel and other costs associated with the development of product designs, process technology, software and programming hardware. Research and development expenses increased to $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001.  However, as a percentage of revenue, they decreased, coming in at 47.7% for the current quarter versus 56.2% for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. During the third quarter our engineers in Canada completed work on their first QuickLogic product design.  As a result of this experience and changes made in our product development process, we determined that certain emulation hardware and intellectual property assets acquired from V3 Semiconductor one year ago should be written off.  Current quarter research and development expenses include $1.0 million of asset write-downs, primarily associated with these acquired assets.    Without this write down, our research and development expense for the current quarter would have been approximately $2.9 million, a decline of $800,000 from the third quarter of 2001. Current quarter expense reflects some non-recurring savings associated with temporary cost reductions, primarily a one week forced shutdown. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, research and development expense increased to $10.6 million from $10.3 million.  Without the write down discussed above, our research and development expenses for the nine month period would have been $9.6 million, a decrease of $700,000 from the nine months ended September 30, 2001. We believe that continued investments in process technology and product development are essential for us to remain competitive in the markets we serve. We expect that fourth quarter research and development expenses will decline sequentially, since we had a $1.0 million asset write-off in the third quarter.  Excluding the impact of the third quarter write-off, research and development expenses are expected to be flat to higher sequentially.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense.  Selling expense consists primarily of personnel, commissions and other costs associated with the marketing and sale of our products. General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel and other costs associated with the management of our business. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased to $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. As a percentage of revenue, it decreased to 48.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from 66.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased to $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $13.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.  As a percentage of revenue, it decreased to 47.3% in the current nine month period from 52.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2001.  These reductions in spending are mostly due to a workforce reduction that occurred in October, 2001, and a temporary 10% to 30% reduction in pay for all salaried workers that was in effect from October 2001 to April, 2002. We expect that fourth quarter selling, general and administrative expense will be within $100,000 of third quarter expense. Selling, general and administrative expense is expected to decline in the first quarter of 2003.

Interest and Other Income, Net.  Interest and other income, net, was a net expense of $114,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to an income of $302,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Interest and other income, net, was an income of $222,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to an income of $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This decrease is primarily due to lower interest rates with less funds on deposit, and an increase in the amount of interest expense paid on our equipment and revolving lines.  We anticipate that interest expense on the new credit facilities will cause this number to continue to be a net expense in the future.

Deferred Stock Compensation.  Deferred stock compensation recorded in years prior to 2000 is being amortized ratably over the vesting period of the options. During the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, deferred stock compensation amortization was $83,000 for each period.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, deferred stock compensation amortization was $251,000 and $316,000, respectively.

15

Provision for Income Taxes.  No provision for income taxes was recorded for the three months or nine months ended September 30, 2002 or 2001 because we incurred a loss.  Management believes that, based on a number of factors, the available objective evidence creates sufficient uncertainty regarding the realizability of the deferred tax assets such that a full valuation allowance has been recorded. These factors include the Company’s history of losses, that the market in which the Company competes is intensely competitive and characterized by rapidly changing technology, the lack of carry back capacity to realize deferred tax assets, and uncertainty regarding market acceptance of the Company’s products. Based on these factors, no provision for income taxes was recorded for the nine month period ended September 30, 2002. The Company will continue to assess the realizability of the deferred tax assets in future periods.

Tower Investment Valuation.  The value of our Tower shares available for sale declined by $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2002.  The decrease was recorded within stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive loss.  We will continue to evaluate the Tower investment quarterly to determine whether there has been an other-than-temporary impairment in the value of this asset.  In future periods, we may record a gain or loss when we sell our Tower shares or when an other-than-temporary impairment is determined to exist.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2002 we had $21.2 million in cash, a decrease of $7.7 million from cash held at December 31, 2001. As of September 30, 2002, we had an accumulated deficit of $87.7 million.

Net cash used for operating activities was $5.5 million and $16.8 million in the first nine months of  2002 and 2001, respectively. The approximately $11.2 million relative change in operating cash consumption is primarily due to a $9.9 million improvement in the impact of inventory on our cash flow.  Inventories were reduced by $3.2 million in the first nine months of 2002, compared to an increase of  $6.7 million in the first nine months of 2001. During the first nine months of 2002 our quarterly revenues have increased; we have focused on reducing inventories during this period.  During this period the main uses for operating cash were a net loss of $12.9 million and an increase in accounts receivable of $2.2 million. We were able to partially offset the cash impact of the loss and receivables increase with a $3.2 million decrease in inventory and a $600,000 reduction in other assets. The net loss of $12.9 million includes adjustments totaling $5.6 million, such as depreciation of $2.7 million, inventory write-offs of $1.6 million and asset write downs of $1.0 million.  During the first nine months of 2001 our quarterly revenues declined sequentially and while we were able to reduce our manufacturing commitments during this time, we could not reduce our commitments as quickly as our revenues declined.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the main uses of operating cash were a net loss of $20.9 million, a $6.7 million increase in inventory, and a $5.3 million reduction in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other obligations, offset by a $2.5 million reduction in accounts receivable. The net loss of $20.9 million includes adjustments totaling $13.3 million, such as depreciation of $2.4 million, inventory write-offs of $3.4 million and a non cash write down of Tower shares of $6.8 million.

Net cash used for investing activities was $5.4 million and $21.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.  In the current nine month period, $3.7 million was used for one installment payment to Tower Semiconductor Ltd., pursuant to our Share Purchase Agreement, and the remainder was used for the acquisition of property and equipment. In the nine months ended September 30, 2001, $14.0 million was used for installment payments to Tower pursuant to our Share Purchase Agreement and $6.3 million was used for the acquisition of property and equipment. We made a scheduled payment to Tower on October 1, 2002 of $3.7 million to purchase additional shares and wafer credits.  We have a remaining payment of $3.7 million which is expected to be due to Tower in 2003 under the terms of the original Share Purchase Agreement.  We have been released from our lock–up agreement with Tower with respect to 700,000 of the shares we have purchased. These shares are now available for sale, subject to applicable securities laws. Our capital expenditures over the next few quarters will be driven by decisions to develop and introduce new products, and may increase over historical levels.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.3 million and $1.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. In the current nine month period, we drew down $2.4 million from our credit line at Silicon Valley Bank and received funds from employee stock purchases. In the nine months ended September 30, 2001, these funds came primarily from employee stock purchases.

In June 2002, we signed a $12.0 million credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank. The facility includes an $8.0 million revolving line of credit and a $4.0 million equipment financing line. The revolving line bears interest at prime, which is currently 4.75%. The equipment line bears interest at prime plus 0.75%, and is secured by the specific equipment financed. Interest payments on the revolving line are due monthly. The equipment financing line must be paid in 36 equal installments from the date of each advance. Any advances for software purchases under the equipment line must be paid in 30 equal installments from the date of each advance. Terms of the note require the Company to maintain a tangible net worth of $49.0 million and to maintain cash and short term investment balances of $15.0 million at Silicon Valley Bank.  At September 30, 2002, we had drawn $1.9 million against the equipment line, and $500,000 against the revolving line of credit, our tangible net worth was approximately $50.1 million and we had approximately $21.1 million of cash and short-

16

term investment balances on account at Silicon Valley Bank.

In the middle of the third quarter of 2002, our expectation was that sequential revenue growth of 5.0% to 10.0% a quarter would allow the Company to reduce its net operating losses sequentially, and that continued significant reductions in inventory would partially mitigate the effect of these losses on the Company’s cash flow.  The Company’s revenue declined $45,000 sequentially in the third quarter of 2002, and the Company had a net loss of $6.0 million in the quarter.  This loss included depreciation, inventory write-offs and asset write downs totaling $3.6 million.  The Company’s net loss without these non-cash charges was $2.4 million.  We believe that the comparable loss in the fourth quarter of 2002 could exceed $2.4 million, and that inventory reductions would only mitigate $300,000 to $700,000 of this loss.  In addition, the Company was obligated to make a payment of $3.7 million to Tower Semiconductor on October 1, 2002 and expects that a final $3.7 million payment to Tower will become due in 2003. As a result, the Company decided to reduce its operating expenses and manufacturing overhead, net of non-cash charges.  On November 4, 2002, the Company announced a reduction in force of approximately 55 people. The Company anticipates annualized savings of approximately $5 million in manufacturing and operating expenses from this action and expects to record a restructuring charge of up to  $800,000 in the fourth quarter of 2002.

We believe that our existing resources, together with cash generated from our operations will be sufficient to meet our capital requirements for at least the next twelve months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the revenue and gross margin that we generate, the inventory levels we maintain, the level of investment we make in new technologies and improvements to existing technologies and the levels of monthly expenses required to launch new products. To the extent that existing resources and future earnings are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private financings. Additional funds may not be available or, if available, we may not be able to obtain them on terms favorable to us and our stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make judgements and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes.  Our management believes that we consistently apply judgements and estimates and such consistent application results in financial statements and accompanying notes that fairly represent all periods presented.  However, any factual errors or errors in

17

these judgements and estimates may have a material impact on our statement of operations and financial conditions.  For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, please see the discussion in our  Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, filed on March 14, 2002.

Factors Affecting Future Results

Our future operating results are likely to fluctuate and therefore may fail to meet expectations which could cause our stock price to decline.

Our operating results have varied widely in the past and are likely to do so in the future. In addition, our operating results may not follow any past trends. Our future operating results will depend on many factors and may fail to meet our expectations for a number of reasons, including those set forth in these risk factors. Any failure to meet expectations could cause our stock price to significantly fluctuate or decline.

Factors that could cause our operating results to fluctuate that relate to our internal operations include:

•the need for continual, rapid new product introductions;

•changes in our product mix;

•our inability to adjust our fixed costs in the face of any declines in revenue;

•our ability to integrate existing and acquired operations;

•successful execution of our strategy to develop and market embedded system products;

•our inventory levels and product obsolescence; and

•our ability to reduce our manufacturing costs in response to competitive product or pricing pressure.

Factors that could cause our operating results to fluctuate that depend upon our suppliers and customers include:

•the timing of significant product orders, order cancellations and reschedulings;

•the availability of production capacity and fluctuations in the costs or manufacturing yields at the facilities that manufacture our devices; and

•the cost of raw materials and manufacturing services from our suppliers.

Factors that could cause our operating results to fluctuate that are industry risks include:

•intense competitive pricing pressures;

•introductions of or enhancements to our competitors’ products; and

•the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry.

Other factors that could cause our operating results to fluctuate include:

•general economic, market, political and social conditions in the countries where we sell our products;

•adverse movements in exchange rates, interest rates, or tax rates; or

•an other than temporary impairment in the value of the Tower Securities that we hold;

•a gain or loss on the sale of Tower securities; or

•litigation or potential litigation settlement provisions or expenses

18

Our day-to-day business decisions are made with these factors in mind. Although certain of these factors are out of our immediate control, unless we can anticipate, and be prepared with contingency plans that respond to these factors, we will be unsuccessful in carrying out our business plan.

We cannot assure you that we will return to profitability because we have a history of losses.

We incurred significant losses from our inception in 1988 through 1997, in 2001, and again in the first nine months of 2002. Our accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2002 was $87.7  million. We had net loss of $12.9 million for the nine month period ending September 30, 2002. We cannot assure you that we will return to profitability in any future periods, and you should not rely on our historical revenue or our previous profitability as any indication of our future operating results or prospects.

A sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

We expect V3 to sell enough of the approximately 2.5 million shares issued to V3 in connection with our acquisition of certain assets from V3 to satisfy its creditors and distribute the remaining shares, if any, to it’s stockholders. During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the V3 trustee sold approximately 1.8 million of these shares.  If and when the remaining shares are sold or distributed, the market price of our common stock could fall. In addition, if our current stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock, including shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options, the market price of our common stock could fall. Such sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity–related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate.

If we fail to successfully develop, introduce and sell new products, we may be unable to compete effectively in the future.

We operate in a highly competitive, quickly changing market marked by rapid technological change and the obsolescence of existing products. Our future success depends on our ability to develop, introduce and successfully market new products, including ESPs. We introduced our ESPs in September 1998. To date, we have been selling our ESPs in limited quantities, and we must increase our sales of ESP products or our business will suffer. If any of the following occur, our business will be materially harmed:

•we fail to complete and introduce new product designs in a timely manner;

•we are unable to have these new products manufactured to meet cost targets or according to design specifications;

•our customers do not successfully introduce new systems or products incorporating our products;

•our sales force and independent distributors do not create adequate demand for our products; or

•market demand for our new products, such as ESPs, does not develop as anticipated.

We have only recently introduced our embedded standard products; therefore, we cannot accurately predict their future level of acceptance by our customers, and we may not be able to generate anticipated revenue from these products.

We have only recently started selling embedded standard products. In the nine months ended September 2002, ESPs accounted for approximately 34% of our revenue. We do not know the extent to which systems manufacturers will purchase or utilize our ESPs. Since we anticipate that ESPs will become an increasingly larger component of our business, their failure to gain acceptance with our customers could materially harm our business. We cannot assure you that our ESPs will be commercially successful or that these products will result in significant additional revenues or improved operating margins in future periods.

If the markets in which we sell our embedded standard products do not grow as we anticipate, it will materially and adversely affect our anticipated revenue.

The market for embedded standard products is relatively new and still emerging. If this market does not grow at the rate we anticipate, our business will be materially harmed. One of the reasons that this market might not grow as we anticipate is that many systems manufacturers are not yet fully aware of the benefits provided by embedded standard products, in general, or the benefits of our ESPs, specifically. Additionally, systems manufacturers may use existing technologies other than embedded standard products or yet to be introduced technologies to satisfy their needs. Although we have devoted and intend to continue to devote significant resources promoting market awareness of the benefits of embedded standard products, our efforts may be unsuccessful or insufficient.

19

We expend substantial resources in developing and selling our products, and we may be unable to generate significant revenue as a result of these efforts.

To establish market acceptance of our products, we must dedicate significant resources to research and development, production and sales and marketing. We experience a long delay between the time when we expend these resources and the time when we begin to generate revenue, if any, from these expenditures. Typically, this delay is one year or more. We generally record as expenses the costs related to the development of new semiconductor products and software as these expenses are incurred. We also generally capitalize some items associated with these new products, such as purchased intellectual property and tooling. As a result, our profitability from quarter to quarter and from year to year may be materially and adversely affected by the number and timing of our new product introductions in any period and the level of acceptance gained by these products.

Our investment in Tower may become impaired.

The Company has devoted significant resources to its relationship with Tower Semiconductor, and through October 1, 2002, has invested approximately $21.3 million toward the completion of their wafer foundry facility.   Tower’s completion of this facility is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing for the foundry construction from equity and other sources and the release of grants and approvals for changes in grant programs from the Israel government’s Investment Center. The current political uncertainty and security situation in the region may adversely impact Tower’s business prospects and may discourage investments in Tower from outside sources. If Tower is unable to obtain additional financing, complete foundry construction in a timely manner or successfully complete the development and transfer of advanced CMOS process technologies and ramp-up of production, the value of the Company’s investment in Tower will decline significantly or possibly become worthless and the Company may be unable to obtain the wafers needed to manufacture its products, which would harm its results of operations.

In addition, the value of the Company’s investment in Tower and its corresponding wafer credits may be adversely affected by a further deterioration of conditions in the market for foundry manufacturing services and the market for semiconductor products generally. If the fair value of the Tower investment declines further or the wafer credits are deemed to have little or no value, it may be necessary to record additional losses.  We expect that our final payment under the Share Purchase Agreement to Tower will become due during 2003.  If the terms of this final installment aren’t renegotiated prior to our payment, we may incur a loss on the shares purchased.

If we fail to comply with the covenants of our credit facility our financial condition could suffer.

Our $12 million credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank requires us to meet certain financial covenants, including an obligation to maintain a tangible net worth of $49.0 million and an obligation to maintain $15.0 million of cash and investment balances with Silicon Valley Bank. As of September 30, 2002, we had tangible net worth of $50.1 million and had approximately $21.1 million in cash and investment balances at the bank. Failure to renegotiate or to maintain any one of the loan covenants could result in an event of default, and amounts outstanding under the facility could become due and payable.  If this were to occur our financial condition could suffer.  If we were unable to repay the amounts due and payable at that time, foreclosure proceedings could be commenced on the property securing the credit facility.

Our customers may cancel or change their product plans after we have expended substantial time and resources in the design of their products.

If one of our potential customers cancels, reduces or delays product orders from us or chooses not to release equipment that incorporates our products after we have spent substantial time and resources in designing a product, our business could be materially harmed. Our customers often evaluate our products for six to twelve months or more before designing them into their systems, and they may not commence volume shipments for up to an additional six to twelve months, if at all. During this lengthy sales cycle, our potential customers may also cancel or change their product plans. Even when customers incorporate one or more of our products into their systems, they may ultimately discontinue the shipment of their systems that incorporate our products. Customers whose products achieve high volume production may choose to replace our products with lower cost semiconductors.

We will be unable to compete effectively if we fail to anticipate product opportunities based upon emerging technologies and standards and fail to develop products that incorporate these technologies and standards.

We may spend significant time and money on research and development to design and develop products around an emerging technology or industry standard. To date, we have introduced only one product family, QuickPCI,  that is designed to support a specific industry standard.  If an emerging technology or industry standard that we have identified fails to achieve broad market acceptance in our target markets, we may be unable to generate significant revenue from our research and development efforts. Moreover, even if we are able to develop products using adopted standards, our products may not be accepted in our target markets. As a result, our business would be materially harmed.

We have limited experience in designing and developing products that support industry standards. If systems manufacturers move

20

away from the use of industry standards that we support with our products and adopt alternative standards, we may be unable to design and develop new products that conform to these new standards. The expertise required is unique to each industry standard, and we would have to either hire individuals with the required expertise or acquire such expertise through a licensing arrangement or by other means. The demand for individuals with the necessary expertise to develop a product relating to a particular industry standard is generally high, and we may not be able to hire such individuals. The cost to acquire such expertise through licensing or other means may be high and such arrangements may not be possible in a timely manner, if at all.

We may encounter periods of industry-wide semiconductor oversupply, resulting in pricing pressure and underutilization of manufacturing capacity, as well as undersupply, resulting in a risk that we could be unable to fulfill our customers’ requirements.

The semiconductor industry has historically been characterized by wide fluctuations in the demand for, and supply of, its products. These fluctuations have resulted in circumstances when supply and demand for the industry’s products have been widely out of balance. Our operating results may be materially harmed by industry-wide semiconductor oversupply, which could result in severe pricing pressure and underutilization of our manufacturing capacity. In a market with undersupply, we would have to compete with larger foundry customers for limited manufacturing capacity. In such an environment, we may be unable to have our products manufactured in a timely manner or in quantities necessary to meet our requirements. Since we outsource all of our manufacturing, we are particularly vulnerable to such supply shortages. As a result, we may be unable to fulfill orders and may lose customers. Any future industry-wide oversupply or undersupply of semiconductors would materially harm our business.

None of our products is currently fabricated by more than one manufacturer, which exposes us to the risk of having to identify and qualify one or more substitute suppliers.

We depend upon independent third parties to fabricate, assemble and test our semiconductor products. None of our products is currently fabricated by more than one manufacturer. We have contractual arrangements with two of our three foundry manufacturers of semiconductors, Tower and Cypress, to provide us with specified manufacturing capacity. The Tower facility is not yet operational. We purchase product from TSMC on a purchase order basis. Our assembly and test work is also done on a purchase order basis. If we are unable to secure adequate manufacturing capacity from Tower, TSMC, Cypress or other suppliers to meet our supply requirements, our business will be materially harmed.

Processes used to manufacture our products are complex, customized to our specifications and can only be performed by a limited number of manufacturing facilities. If our current manufacturing suppliers are unable or unwilling to provide us with adequate manufacturing capacity, we would have to identify and qualify one or more substitute suppliers for a substantial majority of our products. Our manufacturers may experience unanticipated events, like the September 1999 Taiwan earthquake, that could inhibit their abilities to provide us with adequate manufacturing capacity on a timely basis, or at all. Introducing new products or transferring existing products to a new third party manufacturer would require significant development time to adapt our designs to their manufacturing processes and could cause product shipment delays. In addition, the costs associated with manufacturing our products may increase if we are required to use a new third party manufacturer. If we fail to satisfy our manufacturing requirements, our business would be materially harmed.

Our business is subject to the risks of earthquakes and other catastrophic events.

A significant natural disaster, such as an earthquake, may cause disruption to our business.  In addition, although we have implemented network security measures, our computer systems are vulnerable to computer viruses, break-ins and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering.  Further, our business is subject to the effects of war and acts of terrorism.  Any catastrophic event, such as an earthquake or other natural disasters, the failure of our computer systems, or war or acts of terrorism, could significant impact our ability to maintain our records, pay our suppliers, or manufacture or ship our products.  If any such catastrophic event occurs, our operating results may fluctuate.

If we fail to adequately forecast demand for our products, we may incur product shortages or excess product inventory.

Our agreements with third–party manufacturers require us to provide forecasts of our anticipated manufacturing orders, and place binding manufacturing orders in advance of receiving purchase orders from our customers. This may result in product shortages or excess product inventory because we are not permitted to increase or decrease our rolling forecasts under such agreements. Obtaining additional supply in the face of product shortages may be costly or not possible, especially in the short term. Our failure to adequately forecast demand for our products would materially harm our business.

If we fail to adequately reduce our product costs,  we may incur charges for the write down of inventory to its net realizable value.

The time between initial customer contact and  the customer’s decision to use our product may be 6-12 months or more.  An additional 6-12 months or more may pass before the customer purchases the product in significant volume.  Budgetary pricing may be

21

given to the customer in anticipation of future product cost reductions.  If we fail to obtain the cost targets in a timely fashion our gross margin could be adversely impacted.  In addition, we could incur a charge for the write down of inventory to its net realizable value.  These factors could cause our operating results to fluctuate.

Fluctuations in our product yields, especially our new products, may increase the costs of our manufacturing process.

Difficulties in the complex semiconductor manufacturing process can render a substantial percentage of semiconductor wafers nonfunctional. We have, in the past, experienced manufacturing runs that have contained substantially reduced or no functioning devices. Varying degrees of these yield reductions occur frequently in our manufacturing process. These yield reductions, which can occur without warning, may result in substantially higher manufacturing costs and inventory shortages to us. We may experience yield problems in the future which may materially harm our business. In addition, yield problems may take a significant period of time to analyze and correct. Our reliance on third party suppliers may extend the period of time required to analyze and correct these problems. As a result, if we are unable to respond rapidly to market demand, our business would suffer.

Yield reductions frequently occur in connection with the manufacture of newly introduced products. Newly introduced products, such as our Eclipse family of FPGAs, are often more complex and more difficult to produce, increasing the risk of manufacturing–related defects. While we test our products, these products may still contain errors or defects that we find only after we have commenced commercial production. Our customers may not place new orders for our products if the products have reliability problems, which would materially harm our business.

We expect to continue to introduce new products based on more advanced wafer process technologies and new wafer suppliers.  Such transitions entail inherent technological risks and start-up difficulties that can adversely affect yields, costs, and time of delivery.  If any significant delay caused by start-up difficulties occurs our operating results may fluctuate.

We may be unable to grow our business if the markets in which our customers sell their products do not grow.

Our success depends in large part on the continued growth of various markets that use our products. Any decline in the demand for our products in the following markets could materially harm our business:

•telecommunications and data communications;

•video/audio, graphics and imaging;

•instrumentation and test;

•high-performance computing; or

•military systems.

Slower growth in any of the other markets in which our products are sold may also materially harm our business. Many of these markets are characterized by rapid technological change and intense competition. As a result, systems sold by our customers that use our products may face severe price competition, become obsolete over a short time period, or fail to gain market acceptance. Any of these occurrences would materially harm our business.

In order to return to profitability and remain profitable, we will need to offset the general pattern of declines and fluctuations in the prices of our products.

The average selling prices of our products historically have declined during the products’ lives by, on average, approximately 7% per year, and we expect this trend to continue. If we are unable to achieve cost reductions, increase unit demand or introduce new higher–margin products in a timely manner to offset these price declines, our business would be materially harmed.

In addition, the selling prices for our products fluctuate significantly with real and perceived changes in the balance of supply and demand for our products and comparable products. The growth in the worldwide supply of FPGA’s in recent periods has added to the decrease in the average selling prices for our products. In addition, we expect our competitors to invest in new manufacturing process technologies and achieve significant manufacturing yield improvements in the future. These developments could increase the worldwide supply and decrease the manufacturing cost of FPGA’s and alternate products and create additional downward pressure on customer pricing. If the worldwide supply of FPGA’s grows faster than the demand for such products in the future, the price for which we can sell such products may decline, which would materially harm our business.

22

We depend upon third party distributors to market and sell our products, and they may discontinue sale of our products, fail to give our products priority or be unable to successfully market, sell and support our products.

We employ independent, third–party distributors to market and sell a significant portion of our products. During the first nine months of 2002, approximately 69% of our sales were made through our distributors. Four distributors together accounted for approximately 45% of our sales. Although we have contracts with our distributors, any of them may terminate their relationship with us on short notice. The loss of one or more of our principal distributors, or our inability to attract new distributors, could materially harm our business. We may lose distributors in the future and we may be unable to recruit additional or replacement distributors. As a result, our future performance will depend in part on our ability to retain our existing distributors and attract new distributors that will be able to market, sell and support our products effectively.

Many of our distributors, including our principal distributors, market and sell products for other companies, and many of these products may compete directly or indirectly with our products. We generally are not one of the principal suppliers of products to our distributors. If our distributors give higher priority or greater attention to the products of other companies, including products that compete with our products, our business could be materially harmed.

We may be unable to accurately predict quarterly results if distributors are inaccurate or untimely in providing us with their resale reports, which could adversely affect the trading price of our stock.

Since we recognize revenue from sales of certain products to our distributors only when these distributors make sales to customers, we are highly dependent on the accuracy and timeliness of their resale reports. Inaccurate resale reports contribute to our difficulty in predicting and reporting our quarterly revenue and results of operations, particularly in the last month of the quarter. If we fail to accurately predict our revenue and results of operations on a quarterly basis, our stock price could materially fluctuate. Distributors occasionally increase their inventories of our products in anticipation of growth in the demand for our products. If this growth does not occur, distributors will decrease their orders for our products in subsequent periods, and our business could be materially harmed.

Customers may cancel or defer significant purchase orders or our distributors may return our products, which would cause our inventory levels to increase and our revenues to decline.

We sell our products on a purchase order basis through our distributors and direct sales channels, and our distributors or customers may cancel purchase orders at any time with little or no penalty. In addition, our distributor agreements generally permit our distributors to return unprogrammed products to us. Contractually, our distributors are permitted to return up to 10%, by value, of the products they purchase from us every six months. If our customers cancel or defer significant purchase orders or our distributors return our products, our inventories would increase, which could materially harm our business.

Many systems manufacturers may be unwilling to switch to our products because of their familiarity with the products offered by our direct competitors such as Xilinx and Altera, which dominate the programmable logic market.

The semiconductor industry is intensely competitive and characterized by:

•erosion of selling prices over product lives;

•rapid technological change;

•short product life cycles; and

•strong domestic and foreign competition.

If we are not able to compete successfully in this environment, our business will be materially harmed. A primary cause of this highly competitive environment is the strength of our competitors. Our industry consists of major domestic and international semiconductor companies, many of which have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution and other resources than we do. Our current direct competitors include suppliers of complex programmable logic devices and field programmable gate arrays, such as Xilinx, Altera, Actel, and Lattice Semiconductor. Xilinx and Altera together have a majority share of the programmable logic market. Many systems manufacturers may be unwilling or unable to switch to our products due to their familiarity with competitors’ products or other inhibiting factors.

We also face competition from companies that offer ASICs, which may be obtained at lower costs for higher volumes and typically have greater logic capacity, additional features and higher performance than those of our products. We may also face competition from suppliers of products based on new or emerging technologies, including ESPs. Our inability to successfully compete in any of the

23

following areas could materially harm our business:

•the development of new products and manufacturing technologies;

•the quality and price of products and devices;

•the diversity of product lines; or

•the cost effectiveness of design, development, manufacturing and marketing efforts.

We may be unable to successfully grow our business if we fail to compete effectively with others to attract and retain key personnel.

We believe our future success will depend upon our ability to attract and retain engineers and other highly skilled personnel. Our employees are at-will and not subject to employment contracts. Hiring qualified sales and technical personnel can be difficult due to the limited number of qualified professionals. Competition for these types of employees is intense. We have in the past experienced difficulty in recruiting and retaining qualified sales and technical personnel. Failure to attract and retain personnel, particularly sales and technical personnel, would materially harm our business.

We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, and may face significant expenses as a result of future litigation.

Protection of intellectual property rights is crucial to our business, since that is how we keep others from copying the innovations which are central to our existing and future products. From time to time, we receive letters alleging patent infringement or inviting us to take a license to other parties’ patents. We evaluate these letters on a case-by-case basis. Offers such as these may lead to litigation if we reject the opportunity to obtain the license.

We have in the past and may again become involved in litigation relating to alleged infringement by us of others’ patents or other intellectual property rights. This kind of litigation is expensive and consumes large amounts of management’s time and attention. For example, we incurred substantial costs associated with the litigation and settlement of our dispute with Actel, which materially harmed our business. In addition, if the  letters we sometimes receive alleging patent infringement or other similar matters result in litigation that we lose, a court could order us to pay substantial damages and/or royalties, and prohibit us from making, using, selling or importing essential technologies. For these and other reasons, this kind of litigation would materially harm our business.

Also, although we may seek to obtain a license under a third party’s intellectual property rights in order to bring an end to certain claims or actions asserted against us, we may not be able to obtain such a license on reasonable terms or at all.  We have entered into technology license agreements with third parties which give those parties the right to use patents and other technology developed by us, and which give us the right to use patents and other technology developed by them. We anticipate that we will continue to enter into these kinds of licensing arrangements in the future; however, it is possible that desirable licenses will not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms. If we lose existing licenses to key technology, or are unable to enter into new licenses which we deem important, it could materially harm our business.

Because it is critical to our success that we are able to prevent competitors from copying our innovations, we intend to continue to seek patent and trade secret protection for our products. The process of seeking patent protection can be long and expensive, and we cannot be certain that any currently pending or future applications will actually result in issued patents, or that, even if patents are issued, they will be of sufficient scope or strength to provide meaningful protection or any commercial advantage to us. Furthermore, others may develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology or design around the patents we own. We also rely on trade secret protection for our technology, in part through confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and third parties. However, employees may breach these agreements, and we may not have adequate remedies for any breach. In any case, others may come to know about or determine our trade secrets through a variety of methods. In addition, the laws of certain territories in which we develop, manufacture or sell our products may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States.

Problems associated with international business operations could affect our ability to manufacture and sell our products.

Most of our products are manufactured outside of the United States at manufacturing facilities operated by our suppliers in Taiwan, South Korea and the Philippines. As a result, our manufacturing operations are subject to risks of political instability, including the risk of conflict between Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China and conflict between North Korea and South Korea. Moreover, the majority of available manufacturing capacity for our products is located in Taiwan and South Korea. In addition, although none of our current products are manufactured by Tower Semiconductor, our future products could be subject to risk due to the conflict between Israel and Palestine.

24

Sales to customers located outside the United States accounted for 43% and 40% of our total sales for the nine months ending September 2002 and 2001, respectively. We anticipate that sales to customers located outside the United States will continue to represent a significant portion of our total sales in future periods and the trend of foreign customers accounting for an increasing portion of our total sales may continue. In addition, most of our domestic customers sell their products outside of North America, thereby indirectly exposing us to risks associated with foreign commerce. Asian economic instability could also materially and adversely affect our business, particularly to the extent that this instability impacts the sales of products manufactured by our customers. Accordingly, our operations and revenues are subject to a number of risks associated with foreign commerce, including the following:

•managing foreign distributors;

•staffing and managing foreign branch offices;

•political and economic instability;

•foreign currency exchange fluctuations;

•changes in tax laws, tariffs and freight rates;

•timing and availability of export licenses;

•inadequate protection of intellectual property rights in some countries; and

•obtaining governmental approvals for certain products.

In the past we have denominated sales of our products in foreign countries exclusively in U.S. dollars. As a result, any increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currency of a foreign country will increase the price of our products in that country so that our products become relatively more expensive to customers in the local currency of that foreign country. As a result, sales of our products in that foreign country may decline. To the extent any such risks materialize, our business would be materially harmed.

Our principal stockholders have significant voting power and may vote for actions that may not be in the best interests of our stockholders.

Our officers, directors and principal stockholders together control approximately 48% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders, if they act together, will be able to significantly influence the management and affairs of QuickLogic and all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control and might affect the market price of our common stock. This concentration of ownership may not be in the best interest of our other stockholders.

Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws, Shareholder Rights Plan, and Delaware law contain provisions that could discourage a takeover.

Our basic corporate documents and Delaware law contain provisions that might enable our management to resist a takeover. These provisions might discourage, delay or prevent a change in the control of QuickLogic or a change in our management. Our certificate of incorporation provides that we will have a classified Board of Directors, with each class of directors subject to re-election every three years. This classified board makes it more difficult for third parties to insert their representatives on our board of directors and gain control of QuickLogic. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. The existence of these provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of the common stock. The certificate also provides that our board of directors may, without further action by the stockholders, issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series and fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of QuickLogic. We adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan in 2001. The Rights Plan could discourage an acquisition of QuickLogic that has not been approved by the board of directors.

25

Our common stock has only been publicly traded for a short time, and we expect the price of our common stock will fluctuate substantially.

Prior to our initial public offering on October 15, 1999, there was no public market for shares of our common stock. The market price for our common stock may be affected by a number of factors, including:

•the announcement of new products or product enhancements by us or our competitors;

•quarterly variations in our or our competitors’ results of operations or balance sheets;

•changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts;

•developments in our industry; and

•general market conditions and other factors, including factors unrelated to our operating performance or the operating performance of our competitors.

In addition, stock prices for many companies in the technology and emerging growth sectors have experienced wide fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. Such factors and fluctuations may materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

If our share price falls substantially, we could be delisted from the Nasdaq National Market.

The minimum per share bid price required under market place Rule 4450(a)(5) to maintain a listing on the NASDAQ National Market is $1.00. Our common stock traded as low as $.92 during the quarter ended September 30, 2002. A delisting could impair our ability to raise additional working capital. If we are able to raise additional capital, the terms may not be favorable and your investment may be diluted. Furthermore, because prices for delisted stock are often not publicly available, a delisting would impair the liquidity of our common stock and make it difficult for investors to sell shares, and they may lose some or all of their investment.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Our investment portfolio is generally comprised of government issued securities and commercial paper. We place investments in instruments that meet high credit quality standards. These securities are subject to interest rate risk, and could decline in value if interest rates fluctuate. Due to the short duration and conservative nature of our investment portfolio, we do not expect any material loss with respect to our investment portfolio. A 10% move in interest rates as of September 30, 2002 would have an immaterial effect on our pretax earnings and the carrying value of its investments over the next fiscal year.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

All of the Company’s sales and cost of manufacturing are transacted in U.S. dollars. We conduct research and development in Canada and India. We also have sales and marketing activities outside the United States. These costs are incurred in local currency. If these local currencies strengthen against the dollar, our payroll and other local expenses will be higher than we currently anticipate. Since our sales are transacted in dollars, these negative impacts on expenses would not be offset by any positive effects on revenue. For the nine months ended September 2002, approximately 16% of our operating expenses were denominated in foreign currencies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Within the 90 days prior to the date of this quarterly report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 240.13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us and our subsidiaries required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.

Changes in Internal Controls.

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date we carried out this evaluation.
