Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
May 3, 1997
Note 1 - In the opinion of management, the information furnished in the
accompanying financial statements reflects all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to fairly state the results
for this interim period and should be read in conjunction with the most recent
Annual Report to Stockholders.
Note 2 - Certain amounts reported in the previous year have been reclassified to
conform to the 1997 presentation.
Note 3 - Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The adoption by the Company on November 3, 1996 of the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", did not materially affect the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
In the event that facts and circumstances indicate the Company's assets may be
impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed. If an evaluation
is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the
asset would be compared to the asset's carrying amount to determine if a
write-down to market value or discounted cash flow value is required.
Note 4 - Stock-Based Compensation
Effective November 3, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation".
SFAS No. 123 requires the recognition of, or disclosure of, compensation expense
for grants of stock options or other equity instruments issued to employees
based on their fair value at the date of grant. As permitted by SFAS No. 123,
the Company elected the disclosure requirements instead of recognition of
compensation expense and therefore will continue to apply existing accounting
rules.
Note 5 - Investments
During fiscal 1996 the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and other investors for the
construction and operation of a semiconductor fabrication facility in Camas,
Washington. The Company acquired an 18% equity ownership in the joint venture,
known as WaferTech, in return for a $140 million investment. In December 1996,
the Company paid the second installment of $42 million to WaferTech. The
remaining installment of $56 million is due on November 3, 1997.
Note 6 - Pro Forma Earnings Per Share
The Company computes its earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of
the Accounting Principles Board's Opinion No. 15 ("APB 15"), "Earnings Per
Share". In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share", which supersedes APB 15 and is required
to be adopted in financial statements issued after December 31, 1997. For the
first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company will be required to change the method
currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods.
Under the new requirements, primary and fully diluted earnings per share will be
replaced by basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is
computed based only on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period and the dilutive effect of stock options is excluded. Diluted
earnings per share is computed in essentially the same manner as fully diluted
earnings per share with some exceptions. The primary exception affecting the
Company is that the dilutive effect of stock options is always based on the
average market price of the stock during the period, not the higher of the
average and period end market price as required under APB 15.

Basic Earnings Per Share $0.27 $0.29 $0.52 $0.55
Diluted Earnings Per Share $0.25 $0.26 $0.48 $0.51
Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies
As previously reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended November 2, 1996, the Company is no longer engaged in an
enforcement proceeding brought by the International Trade Commission ("ITC")
related to previously settled patent infringement litigation with Texas
Instruments, Inc. However, the ITC has referred certain related matters to the
Department of Justice. The Company is unable to determine what, if any, action
may be taken by the Department of Justice, but the Company plans to vigorously
defend itself in the event that any enforcement action is taken by the
Department of Justice on any of the matters referred to it by the ITC.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Second Quarter of Fiscal 1997 Compared to the Second Quarter of Fiscal 1996
Net sales for the second quarter of 1997 were $301 million, as compared to net
sales of $303 million for the second quarter of fiscal 1996. Standard linear IC
("SLICs") revenues increased 3% from the prior year period, as demand for
communications and industrial-related products increased. SLIC revenues
comprised approximately 61% of total second quarter revenues compared to 58% of
revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1996. Revenues from system-level
products decreased from the year earlier period due primarily to a decline in
demand for computer audio products. Sales in the Southeast Asia region, which
increased 23% from last year, were driven principally by increased sales of
communications products. Sales in Japan decreased 20% from the second quarter
of 1996 due partly to a stronger average dollar to yen exchange rate and
weakness in the Japanese industrial markets. Sales in North America and Europe
remained virtually flat over the same period last year.
Gross margin decreased slightly from 50.4% of sales for the prior year to 50.0%
of sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1997. The reduction in gross margin
was principally due to a change in the mix of products sold, increased costs
associated with the new manufacturing facilities and competitive pricing
pressures.
R&D expense was $48 million, an increase of $3 million or 7% from the second
quarter of fiscal 1996, as the Company continued to increase its R&D investment
in opportunities in communications, computers, digital signal processing,
accelerometer and linear ICs.
Selling, marketing, general & administrative ("SMG&A") expense of $47 million
was $3 million or 6% lower than the prior year quarter. The SMG&A
expense-to-sales ratio was reduced to 15.6% of sales compared to 16.5% for the
year-ago quarter. This decline is a result of the Company's commitment to
constrain spending during a cyclical softening of demand.
As a result of the above, the operating income ratio declined to 18.5% of sales
compared to 19.2% for the second quarter of fiscal 1996.
In total, nonoperating income decreased $0.8 million from the year-ago period
principally due to a decrease in interest income earned on lower levels of
invested cash.
The effective income tax rate decreased from 26.0% of sales for the second
quarter of fiscal 1996 to 25.0% for the second quarter of fiscal 1997 due to a
shift in the mix of worldwide profits.
Net income decreased 4%, from $44 million or $0.26 per share for the second
quarter of fiscal 1996 to $42 million or $0.25 per share for the second quarter
of fiscal 1997.
9
10
Second Quarter of Fiscal 1997 Compared to the First Quarter of Fiscal 1997
Net sales increased from $292 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 to
$301 million for the second quarter of fiscal 1997, an increase of $9 million
or 3%. Strengthening SLIC demand was responsible for the quarter-to-quarter
increase. This increase more than offset a decrease in system-level IC sales
which was due to a decline in demand for computer audio products and the
transition of product generations for GSM (Global Systems for Mobile
Communications) chipsets during the second quarter of fiscal 1997. Revenues
increased in North America and Europe as sales through the OEM channel
strengthened from the first quarter, particularly for SLIC and DSP products.
Sales in Japan decreased from the first quarter due partly to a stronger
average dollar to yen exchange rate and weakness in the Japanese industrial
markets. Sales in the Southeast Asia region decreased from the prior quarter
primarily as a result of the declines in system-level products described above.
Gross margin increased from 49.1% for the prior quarter to 50.0% for the
second quarter of fiscal 1997, driven by a modest shift in the mix of products
sold towards higher-margin SLIC products.
R&D expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 1997 of $48 million were $2
million or 4% higher than the first quarter, as the funding of new product
development continued.
SMG&A expenses of $47 million were $2 million or 4% greater than the preceding
quarter, primarily due to the fact that the first quarter of fiscal 1997
included scheduled vacation shutdowns which reduced expenses in that period.
Operating profit increased to 18.5% of sales versus 18.0% of sales for the
immediately preceding quarter.
After nonoperating income of $0.5 million and an unchanged effective income tax
rate of 25%, the Company recorded a 7.5% increase in net income to $42 million
or 14.0% of sales compared to $39 million or 13.4% of sales for the first
quarter of fiscal 1997. Earnings per share increased from $0.23 to $0.25 over
this same period.
First Six Months of Fiscal 1997 Compared to the First Six Months of Fiscal 1996
Net sales of $593 million rose $9 million from the same period of fiscal 1996.
The increase in sales was mainly attributable to an increase in sales of the
Company's communication products which more than offset declines in sales of
computer audio products. Sales of SLICs were approximately flat in comparison to
the prior year. For the first half of fiscal 1997, sales to North American
customers remained essentially flat, whereas sales to international customers
increased 2% over the same period of fiscal 1996 with an increase experienced in
the Southeast Asia region being partially offset by a decline in Japan.
Gross margin was 49.5% for the first six months of fiscal 1997 down from 50.6%
for the comparable period of fiscal 1996. The reduction in gross margin was
principally due to a change in the mix of products sold, increased costs
associated with the new manufacturing facilities and competitive pricing
pressures.
R&D expenses increased approximately $8 million or 9% over the prior year, as
the Company continued to increase its R&D investment in opportunities in
communications, computers, digital signal processing, accelerometer and linear
ICs.
SMG&A expenses declined 7%, a result of the Company's commitment to constrain
spending, additional vacation shutdowns during the first quarter of fiscal 1997
and the fact that the first six months of fiscal 1997 was 26 weeks versus 27
weeks for the first six months of fiscal 1996. As a result, SMG&A expense as a
percentage of sales fell to 15.5% from 16.9% for the year-earlier period.
Operating profit was $108 million or 18.3% of sales for the first half of fiscal
1997 down from $111 million or 19.0% of sales for the first half of fiscal 1996.
10
11
Interest expense increased $2 million from the year earlier period due to the
outstanding $230 million of 3 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes which were
issued during the first quarter of fiscal 1996, and increased expense related to
capitalized leases. Interest income decreased $1 million from the prior year
period as a result of a lower average level of invested cash during the first
six months of fiscal 1997 as compared to the same period in the prior year.
The effective income tax rate decreased to 25.0% from 26.0% for the year-ago
period due to a change in the mix of worldwide profits.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At May 3, 1997, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $303
million, a decrease of $35 million from the second quarter of fiscal 1996 and
an increase of $3 million from the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996. The decrease
in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments from the prior year was
due primarily to the use of cash for investing activities, including capital
expenditures and investments made to secure wafer supply. The increase from the
fourth quarter, resulted primarily from the fact that cash flow from operations
was greater than cash outlays for investing activities.
The Company's operating activities generated net cash of $126 million, or 21% of
sales, for the first six months of fiscal 1997 compared to $46 million, or 8% of
sales, for the first six months of fiscal 1996. The $80 million increase in
operating cash flows from the year-earlier period was principally due to
greater working capital requirements, in the prior period, associated with
growth in accounts receivable and inventories and the payment of income taxes,
offset partly by increased accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Cash flow
from operations generated in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 was $80 million
or 26% of sales versus $47 million or 16% of sales for the prior quarter and $13
million or 4% of sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase in
operating cash flows compared to the prior year quarter was due mainly to lower
net working capital requirements in the second quarter of fiscal 1997, as the
prior year had substantial growth in accounts receivable and inventories. The
change from the first quarter of fiscal 1997 was due primarily to increased
accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The noncash effect of depreciation
and amortization expense was $49 million for the first half of fiscal 1997 and
$25 million for the second quarter of fiscal 1997, higher than the $37 million
and $20 million, respectively, for the comparable periods of fiscal 1996,
primarily as a result of increased property, plant and equipment related to the
Company's internal capacity expansion programs. As a percentage of sales,
depreciation and amortization expense was 8% for the first six months of fiscal
1997 compared to 6% for the first six months of fiscal 1996.
Accounts receivable of $243 million remained essentially flat in comparison to
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996 and the first quarter of fiscal 1997, but
increased $30 million or 14% from the end of the second quarter of fiscal 1996.
The number of days sales outstanding was 73 at the end of the second quarter of
fiscal 1997 as compared to 64, 72 and 76, for the second and fourth quarters of
1996 and the first quarter of fiscal 1997, respectively. The increase in the
number of days sales outstanding from the prior year period was primarily due to
a change in the geographic mix of sales from the second quarter of fiscal 1996
to the second quarter of 1997 which resulted in increased sales in areas with
typically longer payment terms.
11
12
Inventories of $218 million at the end of the first six months of fiscal 1997
rose $26 million and $5 million as compared to the end of the second quarter of
fiscal 1996 and the first quarter of fiscal 1997, respectively. Inventories
declined $1 million from the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996. The growth in
inventories over the past year was principally due to the fact that the second
quarter of fiscal 1996 was a period when the Company was expanding internal
manufacturing capacity, in response to capacity shortages which had reduced
inventory to below optimum levels. A build in inventory levels was needed to
service increasing sales volumes. Inventories as a percentage of annualized
quarterly sales remained at approximately 18% compared to both the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996 and rose from
approximately 16% for the second quarter of fiscal 1996.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities declined $22 million or 12% compared to
the balance at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 1996 due principally to
decreased capital spending as the Company's capacity expansion programs were
more extensive in the prior year.
Net additions to property, plant and equipment of $74 million or 12% of sales
for the first six months of fiscal 1997 and $32 million or 11% of sales for the
second quarter of fiscal 1997 were funded with a combination of cash on hand,
cash generated from financing activities and internally generated cash flow from
operations. The majority of these expenditures in fiscal 1997 were related to
the ongoing improvement of the Company's existing wafer fabrication facilities
in Wilmington, Massachusetts and Limerick, Ireland. The Company is continuing to
develop its facility in Cambridge, Massachusetts which will be used for the
production of the accelerometer and other micromachined products. In addition,
the Company continued the development of the six-inch wafer fabrication module
located in Sunnyvale, California. This facility is still in the process of being
upgraded and modernized and a CBCMOS process is being developed and production
output is expected in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997. During the second
quarter of fiscal 1997 production output began in the new assembly and test
site in the Philippines. Production at this site is expected to increase during
the remainder of fiscal 1997. These expansion programs have caused depreciation
expense to increase in comparison to the prior year.
In December 1996, based on the joint venture agreement with Taiwan
Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and other investors, the Company paid the
second installment of $42 million to WaferTech. During fiscal 1996 the Company
entered into this joint venture agreement for the construction and operation of
a semiconductor fabrication facility in Camas, Washington. The Company acquired
an 18% equity ownership in the joint venture, known as WaferTech, in return for
a $140 million investment. The remaining installment of $56 million is due on
November 3, 1997.
The Company currently plans to make capital expenditures of approximately $185
million during fiscal 1997, primarily in connection with the continued expansion
of its manufacturing capacity.
At May 3, 1997, the Company's principal sources of liquidity included $234
million of cash and cash equivalents and $68 million of short-term investments.
Short-term investments at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 1997 consisted
of commercial paper, banker's acceptances, certificates of deposit and Euro time
deposits with maturities greater than three months and less than six months at
time of acquisition. The Company also has various lines of credit both in the
U.S. and overseas, including a $60 million credit facility in the U.S. which
expires in 2000, all of which were substantially unused at May 3, 1997. At May
3, 1997, the Company's debt-to-equity ratio was 39%.
The Company believes that its existing sources of liquidity and cash expected to
be generated from future operations, together with current and anticipated
available long-term financing, will be sufficient to fund operations, capital
expenditures and research and development efforts for the foreseeable future.

Litigation
As set forth in Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
contained in this Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended May 3, 1997, the
Company is no longer engaged in an enforcement proceeding brought by the
International Trade Commission ("ITC") related to previously settled patent
infringement litigation with Texas Instruments, Inc. However, the ITC has
referred certain related matters to the Department of Justice. The Company is
unable to determine what, if any, action may be taken by the Department of
Justice, but the Company plans to vigorously defend itself in the event that any
enforcement action is taken by the Department of Justice on any of the matters
referred to it by the ITC.
Factors Which May Affect Future Results
The Company's future operating results are difficult to predict and may be
affected by a number of factors including the timing of new product
announcements or introductions by the Company and its competitors, competitive
pricing pressures, fluctuations in manufacturing yields, adequate availability
of wafers and manufacturing capacity, changes in product mix and economic
conditions in the United States and international markets. In addition, the
semiconductor market has historically been cyclical and subject to significant
economic downturns at various times. The Company has replenished inventory
which had been depleted in the prior year. These higher inventory levels expose
the Company to the risk of obsolescence depending on the mix of future
business. As a result of these and other factors, there can be no assurance
that the Company will not experience material fluctuations in future operating
results on a quarterly or annual basis.
The Company's success depends in part on its continued ability to develop and
market new products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
develop and introduce new products in a timely manner or that such products, if
developed, will achieve market acceptance. In addition, the Company's growth is
dependent on its continued ability to penetrate new markets such as the
communications, computer and automotive segments of the electronics market,
where the Company has limited experience and competition is intense. There can
be no assurance that the markets being served by the Company will grow in the
future; that the Company's existing and new products will meet the requirements
of such markets; that the Company's products will achieve customer acceptance in
such markets; that competitors will not force prices to an unacceptably low
level or take market share from the Company; or that the Company can achieve or
maintain profits in these markets. Also, some of the customers in these markets
are less well established which could subject the Company to increased credit
risk.
The semiconductor industry is intensely competitive. Certain of the Company's
competitors have greater technical, marketing, manufacturing and financial
resources than the Company. The Company's competitors also include emerging
companies attempting to sell products to specialized markets such as those
served by the Company. Competitors of the Company have, in some cases, developed
and marketed products having similar design and functionality as the Company's
products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete
successfully in the future against existing or new competitors or that the
Company's operating results will not be adversely affected by increased price
competition.

During fiscal 1996, the Company increased substantially its manufacturing
capacity through both expansion of its production facilities and increased
access to third-party foundries; there can be no assurance that the Company will
not encounter unanticipated production problems at either its own facilities or
at third-party foundries; or if the demand were to increase significantly that
the increased capacity would be sufficient to satisfy demand for its products.
The Company relies, and plans to continue to rely, on assembly and test
subcontractors and on third-party wafer fabricators to supply most of its wafers
that can be manufactured using industry-standard digital processes, and such
reliance involves several risks, including reduced control over delivery
schedules, manufacturing yields and costs. In addition, the Company's capacity
additions will result in a significant increase in operating expenses, and if
revenue levels do not increase to offset these additional expense levels, the
Company's future operating results could be adversely affected, including the
potential adverse impact in operating results for "take or pay" covenants in
certain of its supply agreements. With its greater capacity relative to demand,
the Company has increased its levels of inventory. The Company's business is
subject to rapid technological changes and there can be no assurance that
products stocked in inventory will not be rendered obsolete before they are
utilized by the Company.
For the first six months of fiscal 1997, 58% of the Company's revenues were
derived from customers in international markets. The Company has manufacturing
facilities in Ireland, the Philippines and Taiwan. The Company is therefore
subject to the economic and political risks inherent in international
operations, including expropriation, air transportation disruptions, currency
controls and changes in currency exchange rates, tax and tariff rates and
freight rates. Although the Company engages in certain hedging transactions to
reduce its exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations, there can be no
assurance that the Company's competitive position will not be adversely affected
by changes in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against other currencies.
While the Company tries to ensure that its manufacturing capacity and demand for
its products are in relative balance, no assurance can be given that from time
to time an imbalance between the Company's manufacturing capacity and the
demand for its products would not occur. Any such imbalance could adversely
affect the Company's consolidated results of operations.
The semiconductor industry is characterized by frequent claims and litigation
involving patent and other intellectual property rights. The Company has from
time to time received, and may in the future receive, claims from third parties
asserting that the Company's products or processes infringe their patents or
other intellectual property rights. In the event a third party makes a valid
intellectual property claim and a license is not available on commercially
reasonable terms, the Company's operating results could be materially and
adversely affected. Litigation may be necessary to enforce patents or other
intellectual property rights of the Company or to defend the Company against
claims of infringement, and such litigation can be costly and divert the
attention of key personnel. See Item 3 - "Legal Proceedings" from the Company's
Annual Report on form 10k for the fiscal year ended November 2, 1997 for
information concerning pending litigation involving the Company. An adverse
outcome in such litigation, may, in certain cases, have a material adverse
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or on its consolidated
results of operations or cash flows in the period in which the litigation is
resolved.
Because of these and other factors, past financial performance should not be
considered an indicator of future performance. Investors should not use
historical trends to anticipate future results and should be aware that the
trading price of the Company's common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations
in response to quarter-to-quarter variations in operating results, general
conditions in the semiconductor industry, changes in earnings estimates and
recommendations by analysts or other events.
