NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of RF Micro Devices, Inc. and Subsidiaries (together, the Company) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions, which could differ materially from actual results. In addition, certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments (which are of a normal and recurring nature) necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company reports information as one operating segment.
The Company uses a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to March 31 of each year. The first fiscal quarter of each year ends on the Saturday closest to June 30, the second fiscal quarter of each year ends on the Saturday closest to September 30 and the third fiscal quarter of each year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31; however, in this report the Company's fiscal year is described as ending on March 31 and the first, second, and third quarters of each fiscal year are described as ending on June 30, September 30 and December 31, respectively.
Reclassifications
For comparative purposes, certain fiscal 2006 amounts have been reclassified to conform to fiscal 2007 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net (loss) income or shareholders' equity as previously stated. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.
Prior to the adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123(R)), "Share-Based Payment", the Company presented deferred compensation as a separate component of shareholders' equity. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R), on April 2, 2006, the Company reclassified the balance in deferred compensation to additional paid-in-capital on the balance sheet.
Share-Based Compensation
Stock Plans
The Company currently grants stock options and restricted stock awards to employees under the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2003 Plan). The Company's shareholders approved the 2003 Stock Plan at the 2003 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on July 22, 2003 and, effective upon that approval, new stock option and other share-based awards for employees may be granted only under the 2003 Plan. The Company is also permitted to grant other types of equity incentive awards, such as stock appreciation rights, restricted units, and performance awards and performance units under the 2003 Plan, although none of these types of awards has been granted to date. In the past, the Company had various employee stock and incentive plans under which stock options and other share-based awards were granted. Stock options and other share-based awards that were granted under prior plans and were outstanding on July 22, 2003 continue in accordance with the terms of the respective plans. At the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders on August 1, 2006, shareholders of the Company: (a) amended the 2003 Plan to (1) increase the aggregate number of shares issuable under the 2003 Plan by 15.0 million, (2) increase the maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options by 15.0 million, and (3) modify the list of performance factors that may apply to performance-based awards granted to "covered employees" (generally the chief executive officer and four other highest compensated executive officers) under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and related regulations; and (b) approved the 2003 Plan's eligibility and participant award limitations for Code Section 162(m) purposes.
RF MICRO DEVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The maximum number of shares issuable under the 2003 Plan may not exceed the sum of (a) 24.3 million shares, plus (b) any shares of common stock (i) remaining available for issuance as of the effective date of the 2003 Plan under the Company's prior plans and (ii) subject to an award granted under a prior plan, which awards are forfeited, canceled, terminated, expire or lapse for any reason. As of September 30, 2006, 15.2 million shares were available for issuance under the 2003 Plan.
At the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders on August 1, 2006, shareholders of the Company adopted the 2006 Directors Stock Option Plan, which replaced the Nonemployee Directors' Stock Option Plan and reserved an additional 1.0 million shares of common stock for issuance to non-employee directors. Under the terms of this plan, directors who are not employees of the Company are entitled to receive options to acquire shares of common stock. An aggregate of 1.4 million shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under this plan, including shares remaining available for issuance under the prior non-employee directors stock option plan. As of September 30, 2006, 1.2 million shares were available for issuance under the 2006 Directors Stock Option Plan.
The Company also has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan that provides eligible employees an opportunity to acquire the Company's common stock at 85% of the lower of the closing price per share of the Company's common stock on the first or last day of each six-month purchase period. At the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders on August 1, 2006, shareholders of the Company amended the Employee Stock Purchase Plan to increase the aggregate number of shares issuable under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan by 4.0 million shares. At September 30, 2006, 3.7 million shares were available for future issuance under this plan. The Company issued 0.4 million shares under this plan in the six months ended September 30, 2006.
For fiscal years 2007 and 2006, the primary share-based awards and their general terms and conditions are as follows:
Stock options are granted to employees with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant, generally vest over a four-year period from the grant date and expire 10 years from the grant date. Restricted stock awards granted by the Company generally vest over a five-year period from the grant date. Stock options granted to non-employee directors upon re-election to the Board of Directors in fiscal 2006 had an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant, vested over a two-year period from the grant date and expire 10 years from the grant date. Under the new 2006 Directors Stock Option Plan, stock options granted to non-employee directors in fiscal 2007 had an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant, vested immediately upon grant and expire 10 years from the grant date. Each non-employee director who is first elected or appointed to the Board of Directors will receive an initial option at an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant, vest over a two-year period from the grant date and expire 10 years from the grant date.
The options granted to certain officers of the Company generally will, in the event of the officer's termination other than for cause, continue to vest pursuant to the same vesting schedule as if the officer had remained an employee of the Company (unless the administrator of the 2003 Plan determines otherwise). For such options granted prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company will continue to recognize the expense related to these options over the vesting period of the option. For options granted or modified after the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company will recognize the expense for these awards upon grant. In the three and six months ended September 30, 2006, share-based compensation of $5.5 million was recognized upon the grant of 1.6 million options and restricted awards to certain officers of the Company. Had the Company applied the new amortization policy under SFAS 123(R) for awards issued prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the impact on total pre-tax share-based compensation expense recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations would have been $(0.8) million and $(1.6) million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2005, the impact would have been $5.5 million and $5.4 million, respectively.
Share-Based Compensation
On April 2, 2006 (the first day of the Company's 2007 fiscal year), the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123(R) using a modified prospective application. Under SFAS 123(R), share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award using an option pricing model, and is recognized as expense over the
RF MICRO DEVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
employee's requisite service period. SFAS 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee stock purchase plans.
Under the modified prospective method of adoption for SFAS 123(R), the compensation cost recognized by the Company beginning in fiscal 2007 includes (a) compensation cost for all equity incentive awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of April 2, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) compensation cost for all equity incentive awards granted subsequent to April 2, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). In addition, under the modified prospective application, prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes. The Company uses the straight-line attribution method to recognize share-based compensation costs over the service period of the award for awards granted subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 123(R). For options issued prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company uses the accelerated attribution method to recognize share-based compensation costs over the service period of the award, amortizing each separately vesting portion of the award as a unique award.
Total pre-tax share-based compensation expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was $9.3 million and $14.8 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2005, the total pre-tax share-based compensation expense recognized was $2.2 million and $3.2 million, respectively. Amounts recorded in the three and six months ended September 30, 2005 primarily represented expenses related to restricted stock awards since no expense was recognized for stock options. In addition, as of September 30, 2006, $0.9 million of share-based compensation expense was capitalized into inventory.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), certain options were subject to variable accounting and $1.9 million of compensation expense related to the variable accounting was capitalized into inventory as of March 31, 2006. This amount was recognized in cost of goods sold in the six months ended September 30, 2006. The options that were previously subject to variable accounting treatment are now subject to the provision of SFAS 123(R) and are no longer accounted for as variable awards.
As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R), and therefore no longer applying variable accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25), the Company's income from continuing operations, income before income taxes and net income for the three months ended September 30, 2006, are each $2.2 million higher than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB 25. For the six months ended September 30, 2006, the Company's income from continuing operations, income before income taxes and net income are each $20.2 million lower than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB 25.
Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2006 are each $0.02 higher than if the Company had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB 25. For the six months ended September 30, 2006, basic and diluted earnings per share are each $0.10 lower than if the Company had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB 25.
Cash flow from operations and cash flow from financing activities did not change as a result of adopting SFAS 123(R) because the Company did not recognize any excess tax benefit. SFAS 123(R) requires that the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits created by the tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) be classified as financing cash flows.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three and six months ended September 30, 2006 was $0.6 million and $4.8 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2005, the total intrinsic value of options exercised was $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively.
Cash received from the exercise of stock options was $0.5 million and $6.5 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, and is reflected in cash flows from financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For each of the three and six months ended September 30, 2005, the cash received from the exercise of stock options was $1.1 million. The Company settles employee stock options with newly issued shares of the Company's common stock.
The Company used the implied volatility of market-traded options on the Company's common stock for the expected volatility assumption input to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, consistent with the guidance in SFAS 123(R) and the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The selection of implied volatility data to estimate expected volatility was based upon the availability of actively-traded options on the Company's common stock and the Company's assessment that implied volatility is more representative of future common stock price trends than historical volatility.
The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company's history and expectation of future dividend payouts and may be subject to change in the future. The Company has never paid a dividend and does not expect to pay dividends in the future.
The expected life of employee stock options represents the weighted-average period that the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. Upon adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company changed its method of calculating the expected term of an option based on the assumption that all outstanding options will be exercised at the midpoint of the current date and full contractual term, combined with the average life of all options that have been exercised or canceled. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company estimated the expected term to be based on a weighted average combining the average life of options that have been canceled or exercised with the expected life of all unexercised options. The expected life for unexercised options was based upon the options reaching their full contractual term (i.e., the 10-year life of the option). The Company believes that this change provides a better estimate of the future expected life based on analysis of historical exercise behavioral data.
The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the terms of the Company's employee stock options.
SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based upon historical pre-vesting forfeiture experience, the Company assumed an annualized forfeiture rate of 1.3% for stock options and 2.6% for restricted stock awards. In the Company's pro forma information required under SFAS 123 for the periods prior to fiscal 2007, the Company also estimated pre-vesting forfeitures for stock options based upon historical experience. For restricted stock awards, the Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R).
On November 10, 2005 the FASB issued Staff Position No. SFAS 123R-3, Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards ("SFAS 123R-3"). The Company has elected to adopt the alternative transition method provided in SFAS 123R-3 for calculating the tax effects of share-based compensation pursuant to SFAS 123(R). The alternative transition method includes simplified methods to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool ("APIC Pool") related to the tax effects of employee share-based compensation expense, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC Pool and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows of the tax effects of employee share-based compensation awards that were outstanding at the Company's adoption of SFAS 123(R). In addition, in accordance with SFAS 123(R), SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes ("SFAS 109"), and EITF Topic D- 32, Intraperiod Tax Allocation of the Tax Effect of Pretax Income from Continuing Operations, the Company has elected to recognize excess income tax benefits from stock option exercises in additional paid-in capital pursuant to the ordering provisions of the applicable tax laws.

In the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended September 30, 2006, all outstanding stock options were excluded because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The computation of diluted net loss per share did not assume the conversion of the Company's 1.50% convertible subordinated notes due 2010 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2006 because the inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
In the computation of diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended September 30, 2005, outstanding stock options to purchase approximately 5.6 million shares and 14.3 million shares, respectively, were excluded because the exercise price of the options was greater than the average market price of the underlying common stock and the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The computation of diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended September 30, 2005 did not assume the conversion of the Company's 1.50% convertible subordinated notes due 2010 because the inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The 1.50% notes are convertible at a price of $7.63 per share, and the closing price of the Company's common stock on the assumed date that it committed to sell the notes was $5.78.

5. DEBT (continued)
During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company entered into a $25.0 million asset-based financing agreement ("equipment term loan"). The net proceeds from the equipment term loan were approximately $24.8 million after payment of administrative fees and issuance costs totaling $0.2 million, which are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the loan based on the effective interest method. The equipment term loan is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest of approximately $0.5 million, commencing on August 1, 2006, with a final balloon payment of approximately $3.0 million due on July 1, 2011. The interest rate on the equipment term loan is approximately 7.87%. The equipment term loan is secured by a first priority lien on certain of the Company's manufacturing equipment. Under the terms of the equipment term loan, the Company is required to comply with certain quarterly financial covenants.
The Company's 1.50% convertible subordinated notes had a fair value of $268.8 million as of September 30, 2006 on the Private Offerings, Resale and Trading Through Automated Linkages (PORTAL) Market.
6. INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005 was $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, primarily representing foreign income taxes on international operations and the recognition of certain acquired tax benefits. Income tax expense for the six months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005 was $1.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively, primarily representing foreign income taxes on international operations and the recognition of certain acquired tax benefits. The effective combined domestic income tax rate was 0.0% for both the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company's overall tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 differed from the statutory rate due to adjustments to the valuation allowance primarily related to the partial recognition of the U.S. tax benefits on the domestic net operating losses, tax credits, rate differences on foreign transactions, and other differences between book and tax treatment of certain expenditures. The Company's overall tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 differed from the statutory rate due to adjustments to the valuation allowance primarily related to the non-recognition of the U.S. tax benefits on the domestic net operating losses, tax credits, rate differences on foreign transactions, and other differences between book and tax treatment of certain expenditures.
The annual effective tax rate is estimated to be 10.3% for fiscal year 2007, compared to 19.2% for fiscal year 2006. The decrease in the annual effective tax rate between fiscal years 2006 and 2007 is primarily related to the projected increase in net income for fiscal year 2007, the Company's estimate that its income tax expense will remain relatively constant, and the difference in the accounting and tax treatment of the variable accounting charge that occurred in fiscal year 2006. The estimated annual effective tax rate of 10.3% is higher than the annual effective tax rate of 7.0% estimated in the first quarter. The higher than expected rate is primarily due to the difference in the book and tax treatment for the Jazz impairment accounting charge.
At September 30, 2006, the Company had outstanding net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) for federal domestic tax purposes of approximately $54.1 million, which will begin to expire in 2013, if unused, and state losses of approximately $63.5 million, which will begin to expire in 2009, if unused. Included in the amounts above are certain NOLs and other tax attribute assets acquired in conjunction with the Company's acquisitions of Resonext Communications, Inc. and Silicon Wave, Inc. The utilization of acquired assets may be subject to certain annual limitations as required under Code Section 382. In accordance with SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," a valuation allowance of $63.8 million related to domestic operating losses and credit carryforwards has been established as it is management's opinion that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Of the valuation allowance, $2.8 million was recorded against equity to offset the tax benefit of employee stock options recorded in equity and $7.2 million was recorded against goodwill to offset the tax benefit of net operating losses, credits and other deductions recorded in goodwill.

7. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The change in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended September 30, 2006 is as follows (in thousands):

Adjustments during the period | (1,184) |
Balance as of September 30, 2006 | $ | 116,034 |
The reduction to goodwill for the six months ended September 30, 2006 is related to the recognition of a portion of the deferred tax assets for which no benefit was previously recognized for businesses acquired. The remaining portion of the valuation allowance for these pre-acquisition deferred tax assets for which subsequently recognized tax benefits may be applied to reduce goodwill is approximately $7.2 million at September 30, 2006.
The components of identifiable intangible assets are as follows (in thousands):

Total | $ | 20,427 | | $ | 10,615 | | $ | 20,502 | | $ | 9,653 |
Intangible asset amortization expense was $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. Amortization expense for the Company's identifiable intangible assets as of September 30, 2006 is estimated to be $1.0 million for the remainder of fiscal 2007, $1.5 million in fiscal 2008, $1.2 million in fiscal 2009, $1.2 million in fiscal 2010 and $1.2 million in fiscal 2011.
8. INVESTMENTS
As of June 30, 2006, the Company's investment in the equity of privately-held Jazz Semiconductor, Inc. ("Jazz") had a carrying value of approximately $59.3 million. As a result of the pending merger of Jazz with a wholly owned subsidiary of Acquicor Technology, Inc. ("Acquicor") that was announced during the Company's second quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company expects to sell its equity interest in Jazz for an aggregate cash consideration of approximately $24.0 million to $27.0 million. Upon completion of the merger, which is expected in the first quarter of calendar year 2007, Jazz would become a wholly owned subsidiary of Acquicor. As a result of this pending merger, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $33.9 million which represents management's best estimate of an other-than-temporary decline in value. Therefore, as of September 30, 2006, the Company reduced the carrying value of its investment in Jazz from $59.3 million to $25.4 million.
9. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48), which is an interpretation of SFAS 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes." This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and as such, the Company will adopt this interpretation starting in fiscal year 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, except as follows:
Share-Based Compensation. Effective on April 2, 2006, we began preparing our financial statements in accordance with SFAS 123(R) using the modified-prospective method, and as a result, options that were previously subject to variable accounting treatment are now subject to the provisions of SFAS 123(R) and are no longer accounted for as variable awards. SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments, including grants of stock options and restricted stock units, to be recognized in our financial statements based on their respective grant date fair values. Under this standard, the fair value of each employee stock option is estimated on the date of grant using an option pricing model that meets certain requirements. We currently use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of our share-based payments. The Black-Scholes model meets the requirements of SFAS 123(R), but the fair values generated by the model may not be indicative of the actual fair values of our share-based awards as this model does not consider certain factors important to share-based awards, such as continued employment and periodic vesting requirements and limited transferability. The determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards utilizing the Black-Scholes model is affected by our stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends.
Expected Volatility
We use the implied volatility for traded options on our common stock as the expected volatility assumption required in the Black-Scholes model. Our selection of the implied volatility approach is based on the availability of data regarding actively-traded options on our common stock, as we believe that implied volatility is more representative than historical volatility.
Expected Term
The expected life of employee stock options represents the weighted-average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. Upon adoption of SFAS 123(R), we changed our method of calculating the expected term of an option based on the assumption that all outstanding options will be exercised at the midpoint of the current date and full contractual term, combined with the average life of all options that have been exercised or cancelled. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we estimated the expected term to be based on a weighted average combining the average life of options that have been cancelled or exercised with the expected life of all unexercised options. The expected life for unexercised options was based upon the options reaching their full contractual term (i.e., the 10-year life of the option). We believe that this change provides a better estimate of the future expected life based on analysis of historical exercise behavioral data.
Risk-Free Interest Rate
The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the expected terms of our stock options.
The dividend yield assumption is based on our history and expectation of dividend payouts. The fair value of our restricted stock awards is based on the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Share-based compensation expense recognized in our financial statements in fiscal 2007 is based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest.
Forfeitures
The amount of share-based compensation expense in fiscal 2007 is reduced for estimated forfeitures based on historical experience. Forfeitures are required to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We will evaluate the assumptions used to value stock awards on a quarterly basis. If factors change and we employ different assumptions, share-based compensation expense may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the past. To the extent that we grant additional equity securities to employees or we assume unvested securities in connection with any acquisitions, our share-based compensation expense will be increased by the additional unearned compensation resulting from those additional grants or acquisitions. Had we adopted SFAS 123(R) in prior periods, the magnitude of the impact of that standard on our results of operations would have approximated the impact of SFAS 123, assuming the application of the Black-Scholes option pricing model as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income (loss) and pro forma net income (loss) per share in Note 1 of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2007 FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS:
• Quarterly revenue increased by 39.5% as compared to the corresponding quarter of fiscal 2006, primarily due to sales of PAs, transmit modules and our POLARIS™ TOTAL RADIO™ transceiver solutions for global system for mobile communications (GSM)/ general packet radio system (GPRS) and GSM/GPRS/Enhanced Data for Global Evolution (EDGE) applications.
• Gross margin for the quarter was 34.9% as compared to 36.0% in the corresponding quarter of fiscal 2006. This decrease is the result of a decrease in average selling prices coupled with an increase in the percentage of outsourced GaAs pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT), higher commodity costs, higher pricing of third-party assembly services and the adverse impacts from defective material furnished by a supplier. These decreases were partially offset by improved capacity utilization and yield improvements.
• Operating income for the quarter increased to 5.3% of revenue as compared to 3.1% in the corresponding quarter of fiscal 2006.
• Inventory totaled $121.4 million at September 30, 2006, resulting in 5.3 turns for the quarter as compared to $92.8 million and 4.9 turns at September 30, 2005. The increase in inventory is in support of the increase in sales volumes that we anticipate during the December quarter and is primarily related to transmit modules and POLARIS™ TOTAL RADIO™ transceiver solutions.
• We adopted SFAS 123(R) on April 2, 2006 and as a result, we recorded total share-based compensation expense of approximately $9.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2007.
• During the quarter, we recorded an impairment charge of $33.9 million for our investment in Jazz Semiconductor, Inc.
We are expecting continued growth in shipments of our POLARIS™ TOTAL RADIO™ solutions and transmit modules. Our wafer fabrication facility expansion, which we anticipate will be completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2007, is expected to increase our wafer manufacturing capacity by approximately 40% and provide available capacity to increase production of both GaAs HBT and GaAs pHEMT devices.
We plan to continue to increase our total addressable market by expanding our product portfolios for handsets and selectively developing and selling products for additional wireless markets that leverage our competitive strengths and core RF expertise.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Our revenue for the three and six months ended September 30, 2006 increased primarily due to sales of PAs, transmit modules, and our POLARIS™ TOTAL RADIO™ transceiver solutions for GSM/GPRS and GSM/GPRS/EDGE applications.
International shipments (based on the "bill to" address of the customer) were $225.9 million and accounted for 91.5% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $143.3 million, or 81.0% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2005. For the six months ended September 30, 2006, international shipments were $449.7 million, or 92.7% of revenue, compared to $271.7 million, or 80.8% of revenue, for the six months ended September 30, 2005.

Our decrease in gross margin for the three and six months ended September 30, 2006 is primarily the result of a decrease in average selling prices coupled with an increase in the percentage of outsourced GaAs pHEMT, higher commodity costs, higher pricing of third-party assembly services and adverse impacts from defective material furnished by a supplier. These decreases were partially offset by improved capacity utilization and yield improvements. Our decrease in gross margin for the six months ended September 30, 2006 is also the result of an increase in share-based compensation expenses of $2.4 million in cost of goods sold for the six months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2005.
We expect to reduce our cost structure during the remainder of fiscal 2007 by reducing assembly costs through our internal assembly expansion, by expanding production of internally manufactured pHEMT switches and by improving our total yield across the supply chain.
Historically, average selling prices for our products on a per function basis have decreased. We have offset the effect of this historical trend on corporate average selling prices during the first six months of fiscal 2007 by expanding our dollar content in cellular handsets through increased sales of transceiver modules and transmit modules and by increasing prices for certain products. In addition, the following factors will continue to impact our gross margins: (1) capacity utilization; (2) product test yields; (3) costs of externally sourced materials and services; and (4) cost efficiencies of internally-sourced materials and services, including our assembly operation in Beijing, China.

The dollar increase in research and development expenses for the three and six months ended September 30, 2006 was primarily attributable to our increase in headcount and related personnel expenses, including salaries and benefits related to our cellular chipset development efforts. In addition, share-based compensation expense increased $1.3 million and $2.4 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2005, as a result of the adoption of SFAS 123(R) on April 2, 2006. As expected, research and development expenses as a percentage of revenue have decreased as a result of increased revenue. We expect that research and development expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollars in future periods.

The increase in marketing and selling expenses for the three and six months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2005 was primarily due to an increase in share-based compensation expense of $1.1 million and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, which resulted from the adoption of SFAS 123(R) on April 2, 2006 and an increase in headcount and related personnel expenses. As expected, due to increased revenue, marketing and selling expenses have decreased as a percentage of revenue. We expect that marketing and selling expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollars in future periods.

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2006, we incurred less than $0.1 million of expenses related to the discontinuation of our internal WLAN chipset development efforts. During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, we reversed accrued contract expense related to the discontinuation of our internal WLAN chipset development efforts. The accrued contract expense was for a license for intellectual property of $1.0 million that was originally recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the license was renegotiated to allow the technology to be used for non-WLAN related products.

Interest Expense
Interest expenses for the three and six months ended September 30, 2006 remained relatively unchanged as compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2005. In accordance with SFAS 34, "Capitalization of Interest Cost", we are required to capitalize a portion of our interest expense related to our $25.0 million equipment term loan on assets that are not ready for their intended use. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we capitalized interest of $0.4 million for these qualifying assets. Once these assets are placed in service, the expense will be charged to interest expense on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Interest Income
The increase in interest income is primarily due to the increase in interest rates to approximately 5.0% in the first six months of fiscal 2007 as compared to approximately 3.0% in the first six months of fiscal 2006.
Impairment charge
During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, we recorded an impairment charge with respect to our investment in Jazz of approximately $33.9 million. This charge was the result of a pending merger of Jazz with a wholly owned subsidiary of Acquicor Technology, Inc. ("Acquicor") that was announced during the Company's second quarter of fiscal 2007, as a result of which the Company expects to sell its equity interest in Jazz for an aggregate cash consideration of approximately $24.0 million to $27.0 million. Upon completion of the merger, which is expected in the first quarter of calendar year 2007, Jazz would become a wholly owned subsidiary of Acquicor. The impairment charge of approximately $33.9 million represents management's best estimate of an other-than-temporary decline in value in our equity interest in Jazz.
Income Taxes
Our annual effective tax rate is estimated to be 10.3% for fiscal year 2007, compared to 19.2% for fiscal year 2006. The decrease in the annual effective tax rate between fiscal years 2006 and 2007 is primarily related to the projected increase in net income for fiscal year 2007, our estimate that our income tax expense will remain relatively constant, and the difference in the accounting and tax treatment of the variable accounting charge that occurred in fiscal year 2006. The estimated annual effective tax rate of 10.3% is higher than the annual effective tax rate of 7.0% estimated in the first quarter. The higher than expected rate is primarily due to the difference in the book and tax treatment for the Jazz impairment accounting charge.
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
On April 2, 2006 (the first day of our 2007 fiscal year), we adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123(R)), "Share-Based Payment," using a modified prospective application. Under SFAS 123(R), share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award using an option pricing model (Black-Scholes), and is recognized as expense over the employee's requisite service period.
As of September 30, 2006, total remaining unearned compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock was $12.4 million, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining service period of 3.6 years.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have funded our operations to date through sales of equity and debt securities, bank borrowings, capital equipment leases and revenue from product sales. Through public and Rule 144A securities offerings, we have raised approximately $687.0 million, net of offering expenses. As of September 30, 2006, we had working capital of approximately $335.6 million, including $79.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to working capital at September 30, 2005 of $256.5 million, including $60.0 million in cash and cash equivalents.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2006 generated cash of $55.4 million, compared to generating cash of $9.0 million in the six months ended September 30, 2005. This increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily the result of increased earnings net of non-cash adjustments. Non-cash adjustments increased by $49.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2006, primarily due to the impairment of the Jazz investment ($33.9 million) and share-based compensation expense ($14.8 million).
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2006 was $89.9 million compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $21.8 million in fiscal 2006, due primarily to higher purchases of property, plant and equipment related to the expansion of our manufacturing operations and lower investment activity.
While our capital expenditures totaled approximately $66.1 million during fiscal 2006, we are currently expecting to spend between $100.0 million and $120.0 million in fiscal 2007 for capacity expansion in Greensboro, North Carolina and in Beijing, China. The actual amount of capital expenditures will be dependent on whether all projects that are currently under consideration are ultimately approved by our Board of Directors and executed. We currently expect to fund our 2007 capital expenditures with cash flow from operations and the $25.0 million equipment term loan that we entered into during the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $32.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $3.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2005. As discussed above, we entered into a $25.0 million equipment term loan during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 for the manufacturing operation expansions that are currently in progress. In addition, we experienced an increase in net proceeds from the exercise of stock options and employee stock purchases during the six months ended September 30, 2006.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Equipment Term Loan During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we entered into a $25.0 million equipment term loan at an interest rate of 7.87%. We used the proceeds primarily for wafer fabrication and assembly expansions.
In connection with our equipment term loan, we must maintain, on a quarterly basis, a ratio of senior funded debt to EBITDA of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0, and unencumbered cash or cash-equivalent holdings of not less than $50.0 million. Senior funded debt is defined as current- and long-term debt plus capital leases, and EBITDA is defined as (i) operating income under GAAP, plus (ii) depreciation and amortization expense, plus (iii) all non-cash expenses and losses, minus all non-cash income and gains.
Convertible Debt During fiscal 2004, we completed the private placement of $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.50% convertible subordinated notes due 2010. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $224.7 million after payment of the underwriting discount and expenses of the offering totaling $5.3 million. The net proceeds from the 1.50% offering were offset by the repurchase of $200.0 million of the $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.75% convertible subordinated notes due 2005. On August 15, 2004, we redeemed the remainder of the outstanding principal amount of the 3.75% convertible subordinated notes for $100.0 million plus accrued interest with cash flow from operations and cash on hand. As of September 30, 2006, the 1.50% convertible subordinated notes had a fair value of $268.8 million.
Capital Commitments At September 30, 2006, we had short-term capital commitments of approximately $23.7 million, consisting of approximately $17.5 million for the expansion of our manufacturing capacity and the remainder for general corporate requirements.
Future Sources of Funding Our future capital requirements may differ materially from those currently anticipated and will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, volume pricing concessions, capital improvements, demand for our products, technological advances and our relationships with suppliers and customers. Based on current and projected levels of cash flow from operations, coupled with our fiscal 2004 note offering and our recent $25.0 million equipment term loan, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity to meet both our short-term and long-term cash requirements. However, if there is a significant decrease in demand for our products, or in the event that growth is faster than we had anticipated, operating cash flows may be insufficient to meet our needs. If existing resources and cash from operations are not sufficient to meet our future requirements or if we perceive conditions to be favorable, we may seek additional debt or equity financing, additional credit facilities, enter into sale-leaseback transactions or obtain asset-based financing. We maintain a $500.0 million shelf registration statement providing for the offering from time to time of debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants and subscription rights. We do not, however, currently have any plans to issue any securities under this registration statement. We cannot be sure that any additional equity or debt financing will not be dilutive to holders of our common stock. Further, we cannot be sure that additional equity or debt financing, if required, will be available on favorable terms, if at all.
Legal We are involved in various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of its business that have not been fully adjudicated. These actions, when finally concluded and determined, will not, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
OTHER
During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we procured defective materials from a third-party supplier, which we determined did not meet our quality standards. The supplier agreed to accept financial responsibility for such defects. As a result, we increased our inventory reserves by $7.5 million, increased accrued liabilities for potential warranty claims by $1.6 million and recorded a receivable from the third-party supplier in the amount of $9.1 million.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, after completion of an inspection process, we determined that the defective material had a value of $6.2 million. As a result, we reduced our inventory and warranty reserves by $2.9 million and adjusted our receivable from the third-party supplier from $9.1 million to $6.2 million.
Additionally, during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 we issued a credit to a customer for $5.0 million as a result of this defective material. We have reached agreement for a full reimbursement of this credit from the responsible third-party supplier.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
The Company's interest rate risk relating to our short-term and long-term investments as well as our convertible debt has not changed significantly from the disclosure in Item 7A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.
Foreign Currency Risk
We have limited exposure to currency exchange fluctuations, as we manage the sensitivity of our international sales, purchases of raw materials and equipment by denominating most transactions in U.S. dollars. In fiscal 2003, we completed the establishment of an operation in Beijing, China, where domestic sales and purchases are denominated in Renminbi. The currency exchange rate fluctuations in Renminbi are currently immaterial to our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the China government ended the direct link between the Renminbi to the U.S. dollar and changed to a more flexible exchange rate system based on a group of world currencies. This change in currency exchange rate pegging to a more flexible system increases our foreign currency risk fluctuations. We do not currently engage in foreign currency hedging transactions.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. Based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to enable the Company to record, process, summarize and report in a timely manner the information that the Company is required to disclose in its Exchange Act reports.
There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
