NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. However, certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the 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 financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 1997, as set forth in the Company's Prospectus, dated June 3, 1997, included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-22625). The Company uses a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to March 31 of each year. The Company's other fiscal quarters end on the Saturday closest to June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year. For purposes of this report (including the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements included herein), each fiscal year is described as having ended on March 31, and each of the first three quarters of each fiscal year is described as having ended on June 30, September 30 and December 31. 2. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS The Company charges all research and development costs to expense as incurred. 3. INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes has been recorded based on the current estimate of the Company's annual effective tax rate. For periods with taxable income, this rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily because of the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards. 8 4. INVENTORIES The components of inventories are as follows (in thousands): DECEMBER 31, MARCH 31, 1997 1997 -------- -------- Raw materials $ 6,987 $ 2,937 Work in process 8,433 2,830 Finished goods 9,770 4,296 -------- -------- 25,190 10,063 Inventory allowances (1,097) (847) -------- -------- Total inventory $ 24,093 $ 9,216 ======== ======== 5. EARNINGS PER SHARE In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128"). Statement 128 replaced the previously reported primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for all periods have been presented, and where necessary, restated to conform to the Statement 128 requirements. In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletins, all issuances of the Company's common and common equivalent shares, at prices below the expected initial public offering price during the twelve month period preceding the filing date of the initial public offering, have been included in the diluted earnings per share calculations as if they were outstanding for all periods presented (using the treasury stock method and the initial public offering price). 9 The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

(the "Company") designs, develops and markets proprietary radio frequency integrated circuits ("RFICs") for wireless communications applications such as cellular and personal communications services ("PCS"), cordless telephony, wireless local area networks, wireless local loop, industrial radios, wireless security and remote meter reading. The Company derives revenues from the sale of standard and custom-designed products and services. To date, a significant portion of the Company's revenues has been attributable to the sale of RFICs used in cellular and PCS handsets. The Company offers a broad array of products, including amplifiers, mixers and modulators/demodulators, that represent a substantial majority of the RFICs required in wireless subscriber equipment. The Company designs products using three distinct process technologies: gallium arsenide heterojunction bipolar transistor ("GaAs HBT"), gallium arsenide metal semiconductor field effect transistor ("GaAs MESFET") and silicon bipolar transistor. For the three months ended December 31, 1997, 85% of the Company's revenues was derived from the sale of GaAs HBT products. The Company may continue to rely heavily on sales of GaAs HBT products in future periods. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth the statement of operations data of the Company expressed as a percentage of total revenues for the periods indicated: THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED 12/31/97 12/31/96 12/31/97 12/31/96 -------- -------- -------- -------- Revenues 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Operating costs and expenses: Cost of goods sold 58.1 54.5 54.2 55.8 Research and development 18.0 16.6 20.1 22.3 Marketing and selling 11.4 11.9 13.2 13.1 General and administrative 5.0 4.9 5.2 4.9 ----- ----- ----- ----- Total operating costs and expenses 92.5 87.9 92.7 96.1 Income from operations 7.5 12.1 7.3 3.9 Other income, net 1.2 0.3 2.5 0.6 ----- ----- ----- ----- Income before income taxes 8.7 12.4 9.8 4.5 Income tax expense (0.2) (0.7) (0.2) (0.4) ----- ----- ----- ----- Net income 8.5% 11.7% 9.6% 4.1% ===== ===== ===== ===== 11 REVENUES Revenues increased 32.8% from $10.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 1996 to $13.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 1997. The increase in revenues during the three months ended December 31, 1997 primarily reflected strong sales growth in GaAs HBT power amplifiers for cellular and PCS handsets, including shipments of 3.0 volt, high-efficiency GaAs HBT power amplifiers to Nokia for their latest series of GSM-based handsets. For the nine month period ended December 31, 1997, revenues increased 66.5% from $19.6 million in the same period in 1996 to $32.7 million in 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to increased shipments of the Company's small signal devices used in CDMA handsets and GaAs HBT power amplifiers for cellular and PCS handsets utilizing a variety of air interface standards. During the Company's third quarter, GaAs HBT products accounted for 85% of total revenue while silicon bipolar, engineering revenue and GaAs MESFET accounted for 9%, 4% and 2% of revenue respectively. For the corresponding quarter in fiscal 1997 GaAs HBT products accounted for 87% of revenue, silicon 3%, GaAs MESFET 7% and engineering revenue 3%. Sales of the Company's products to cellular and PCS handset manufacturers accounted for 75% of fiscal 1998 third quarter revenue. International shipments accounted for 65% of total revenue for the third fiscal quarter, with sales to Korean customers accounting for 23% of third quarter revenues, a slight increase from the immediately preceding quarter. While the recent turmoil in the Asian financial markets has not yet adversely impacted the Company's revenues, the Company currently expects that its sales to Korean customers as a percentage of total revenues will decline in the near term due to order delays, the possibility of order cancellations, and the tightening of credit. Although the Company currently expects that any decrease in Korean sales will be offset by increased revenues form other customers, no assurance can be given that this will occur or whether the economic instability in Asia will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, or results of operations. GROSS PROFIT Gross profit margin decreased to 41.9% for the three months ended December 31, 1997 from 45.5% for the three months ended December 31, 1996. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower average unit prices associated with high volume contracts, fluctuations in test yields for RFIC's in the early stages of production and the initial higher costs for newly developed power amplifier packages. For the nine months ended December 31, 1997, the gross profit margin increased to 45.8% from 44.2% for the nine months ended December 31, 1996. The increase was primarily attributable to increased production volumes, favorable pricing and improved manufacturing yields. The Company historically has experienced significant fluctuations in gross profit margins. The Company believes that its gross profit margins have, in the past, been significantly affected by low manufacturing, assembly and test yields, and there can be no assurance that future operating results will not be similarly affected. Further, the Company sells products in intensely competitive markets, and the Company believes that downward pressure on average selling prices will occur in the future. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 1997 increased 44.5%, to $2.4 million compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 1996. For the nine months ended December 31, 1997, research and development expenses increased 50.1%, to $6.6 million versus $4.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 1996. These increases were primarily 12 attributable to increased salaries, recruiting expenses related to increased headcount and additional spending on mask sets, wafers and prototype assembly for both standard and custom-designed products. Research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased to 18.0% for the three months ended December 31, 1997 from 16.6% for the three months ended December 31, 1996. As a percentage of revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 1997, research and development expenses were 20.1% versus 22.3% for the nine months ended December 31, 1996. The Company plans to continue to make substantial investments in research and development and expects that such expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollar amounts in future periods. MARKETING AND SELLING Marketing and selling expenses for the three months ended December 31, 1997 were $1.5 million compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 1996, an increase of 28.3%. For the nine months ended December 31, 1997, marketing and selling expenses equaled $4.3 million, compared to $2.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 1996, an increase of 67.2%. These increases were primarily attributable to increased salaries, and recruiting expenses related to increased headcount and to increased travel and marketing literature expense. Marketing and selling expenses as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 1997 decreased to 11.4% from 11.9% for the three months ended December 31, 1996. For the nine months ended December 31, 1997, marketing and selling expenses were 13.2% of revenues, nearly the same as in the nine month period ended December 31, 1996. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 1997 were $660,000 compared to $495,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1996, an increase of 33.3%. For the nine months ended December 31, 1997, general and administrative expenses rose 78.9%, to $1.7 million, up from $960,000 for the nine month period ended December 31, 1996. These increases were attributable primarily to increased salaries and benefits related to headcount increases, as well as additional recruiting and accounting expenses and other costs associated with being a public company. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 5.0% for the three months ended December 31, 1997 from 4.9% for the three months ended December 31, 1996. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses increased to 5.2% for the nine month period ended December 31, 1997 from 4.9% for the nine month period ended December 31, 1996. OTHER INCOME, NET Other income, net, for the three months ended December 31, 1997 increased to $157,000 compared to $30,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1996. For the nine months ended December 31, 1997, other income, net, increased to $819,000 from the $109,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1996. These increases resulted from higher interest income earned on higher cash balances due primarily to the investment of proceeds from the Company's initial public offering. INCOME TAX EXPENSE The effective tax rate for the three months and the nine months ended December 31, 1997 was 1.7% and 2.0% respectively, which is less than the combined federal and state statutory rate of approximately 40% due to the use of net operating loss carryforwards. Income tax expense for the three months and nine 13 months ended December 31, 1997 was approximately $20,000 and $64,000, respectively. For the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1996, income tax expense totaled $75,000 for both periods. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company has funded its operations to date through sales of equity and debt securities, bank borrowings, capital equipment leases and revenues from product sales. The Company completed its initial public offering in June 1997, and raised approximately $37.8 million, net of offering expenses. As of December 31, 1997, the Company had working capital of approximately $41.1 million, including $20.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. Cash used by operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 was $15.4 million. The cash used by operating activities was primarily attributable to an increase in inventories and accounts receivable, partially offset by net income of $3.1 million and an increase in accounts payables of $2.2 million. The $1.6 million in cash used by operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 1996 was attributable primarily to a $3.2 million increase in inventories, partially offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The $16.0 million of cash used by investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 was related primarily to expenditures associated with the construction of the Company's GaAs HBT wafer fabrication facility, and for wafer fabrication and general corporate capital equipment requirements. The $2.3 million of cash used by investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 1996 was used for the purchase of capital equipment. The $49.3 million of cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 related primarily to the issuance of common stock in the Company's initial public offering, totaling $37.8 million, as well as a reduction in restricted cash of $12.3 million set aside for the purchase of wafer fabrication-related expenditures. The $15.4 million of cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 1996 related primarily to the net proceeds from long-term debt and proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock offset by an increase in restricted cash. The Company believes that its current cash and cash equivalent balances, together with cash anticipated to be generated from sales revenues and financing arrangements, will satisfy the Company's projected working capital and capital expenditure requirements through the end of fiscal 1998. However, the Company expects that it may need to raise additional equity or debt financing during fiscal 1999 to finance a portion of the cost of the new fabrication facility and other corporate requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will not be required prior to such time, or that any additional equity financing will not be dilutive to the holders of the Company's common stock. Further, there can be no assurance that additional equity or debt financing, if required, will be available on acceptable terms or at all. FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE RESULTS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES The preceding Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that relate to the Company's future plans, 14 objectives, estimates and goals.
