TRIQUINT SEMICONDUCTOR INC - 10-Q Quarterly Report

TRIQUINT SEMICONDUCTOR, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. However, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In addition, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. For TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. (the “Company”), the accounting estimates requiring management’s most difficult and subjective judgments include revenue recognition, the valuation of inventory, the assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets, the valuation of investments in privately held companies, the recognition and measurement of income tax assets and liabilities, the accounting for stock-based compensation and the establishment of reserves for potential warranty costs. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. On April 29, 2005, the Company completed its sale of its optoelectronics operation in Pennsylvania and its optoelectronics subsidiary in Mexico (see Note 3). In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the balance sheets have been adjusted to reflect the assets and liabilities of the Pennsylvania and Mexico optoelectronics operations as held for sale. Additionally, the statements of operations and cash flows have been adjusted to reflect the results of these optoelectronics operations as discontinued operations for the periods presented.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, as included in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 15, 2005.

The Company’s fiscal quarters end on the Saturday nearest the end of the calendar quarter, which was April 2, 2005. For convenience, the Company has indicated that its first quarter ended on March 31. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.

Reclassifications

Where necessary, prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Reclassifications made to the 2004 financial statements include adjustments to reclassify auction rate preferred securities from cash and cash equivalents to short-term investments. As a result, purchases and sales of available-for-sale securities included in the Company’s cash flow statement were increased $57,250 and $80,500, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2004, to account for the reclassification of the auction rate preferred securities. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or loss or stockholders’ equity as previously reported.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for compensation cost related to employee stock options and other forms of employee stock-based compensation plans other than ESOP in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and

related interpretations. As such, compensation expense would be recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. The Company also applies SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB No. 25 and provide pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option grants as if the fair value based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. Beginning in the first quarter of 2006, the Company will be required to account for stock-based compensation under SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which will require the Company to recognize the cost on its financial statements. See “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” below for further discussion.

The Company continues to apply the provisions of APB No. 25 in accounting for its plans. As the fair value was equal to the grant price on the date of grant, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock-based compensation awards in the financial statements. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the date of grant for its stock-based compensation awards under SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net income (loss) would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated in the following table:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2005			2004
Net income (loss) as reported	$	(7,745	)	$	2
Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based methods for all awards, net of tax	(3,930		)	(10,709		)
Pro forma net loss	$	(11,675	)	$	(10,707	)
Earnings per share:
Basic and Diluted—as reported	$	(0.06	)	$	0.00
Basic and Diluted—pro forma	$	(0.08	)	$	(0.08	)

2. Business Combinations

On January 2, 2005, the Company successfully completed the acquisition of TFR Technologies, Inc. (“TFR”), a manufacturer and developer of thin film resonator filters for communication applications using bulk acoustic wave (“BAW”) or film bulk acoustic wave (“FBAR”) technology. The Company believes that BAW technology is critical to developing higher frequency filters for next generation wireless communication products and is a natural complement to the Company’s SAW filters. The Company paid $2,920 in cash on the closing date and will pay an additional $2,263 in cash within one year after the closing date. The Company is also obligated to pay royalties on revenue it recognizes from TFR technology based products over the four year period subsequent to the closing date, up to a maximum of $3,000. The Company also expects to incur employee retention charges of up to $1,738, which will be expensed over a period of up to 18 months after the closing date. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company incurred $414 of these charges. The results of operations for the TFR acquisition are included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operation for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

The TFR acquisition was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. Details of the purchase price are as follows:

Cash paid at closing	$	2,920
Cash due within one year(1)	2,263
Acquisition costs(2)	162
Total	$	5,345

(1) The Company may also be required to pay up to an additional $3,000 for royalties which will be recognized as additional goodwill. The amount is based upon future revenue the Company recognizes from TFR technology based products over the four year period after the closing date.

(2) The Company expects to incur up to an additional $1,738 of charges related to employee retention. These charges will be expensed throughout a period of up to 18 months after the closing date. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company incurred $414 of these charges.

The purchase price was allocated to the assets and liabilities based upon fair values as follows:

Cash	$	370
Accounts receivables and other assets	695
Property, plant and equipment	716
Intangible assets (Note 7)	936
Goodwill (Note 7)	2,842
Payables and other liabilities	(214		)
Total	$	5,345

Pro forma results of operations have not been presented for this acquisition because its effect was not material on either an individual or aggregate basis.

3. Discontinued Operations

During the first quarter of 2005, the Company concluded that its optoelectronics operations were not going to meet the revenue projections it had when the Company initially acquired the operations from Agere Systems, Inc. in January 2003. Further, significant reductions in average selling prices combined with reduced valuation for new technologies with improved performance has led to continued losses from these operations for the Company. As a result, the Company decided to dispose of these operations and on April 14, 2005, entered into an agreement to sell its optoelectronics operation in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania and its optoelectronics subsidiary in Matamoros, Mexico to CyOptics, Inc. (“CyOptics”). With the sale, the Company believes it will benefit from focusing its attention on its wireless handset, base station, defense and wireless broadband access markets and build upon its portfolio of semiconductor and filter products. The transaction allows the Company to exit its optoelectronics operation that manufactures indium phosphide (“InP”) optical components. The sale, completed on April 29, 2005, was an asset sale including the products, manufacturing equipment, inventory, the Mexican entity, related intellectual property rights and other assets that constitute the operation that manufactures InP optical chips and components for the optical networking market. The terms of the sale were $13,500 cash at closing, a promissory note for approximately $5,500 (subject to adjustment based on the value of certain working capital accounts) and preferred stock representing approximately 10% of the voting shares of CyOptics. CyOptics also assumed certain liabilities associated with the optoelectronics operations.

Separately, on March 7, 2005, TriQuint Optoelectronics, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Agreement”) to sell to Anthem Partners, LLC

(“Anthem”) the land and building and related facilities occupied by TriQuint’s optoelectronics operations in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania (the “Facility Sale”). The gross sales price is approximately $9,300, less commissions and certain facility clean-up and other costs. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company and Anthem have agreed to negotiate in good faith a lease for approximately 90,000 square feet of the 849,000 square foot facility for the Company’s optoelectronics operations based upon the general terms set forth in the Agreement. The lease term will be two years from the Facility Sale closing, with an option to renew. In association with the sale of the Company’s optoelectronics operations to CyOptics on April 29, 2005, the Company executed a lease with CyOptics as a tenant with terms acceptable to Anthem. The Company intends to assign the lease to Anthem as the new landlord at the time of the Facility Sale closing and will guarantee the base rent due from CyOptics to Anthem under the initial two year lease term. The Facility Sale is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2005. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the facility was recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at $8,000 in the “Assets held for sale” line item.

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for all periods presented to reflect the Breinigsville, Pennsylvania and Matamoros, Mexico optoelectronics operations as discontinued operations. The Company first reflected these operations as discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2005 when the Company decided to discontinue the operations. In accordance with GAAP, the revenues, costs and expenses directly associated with the optoelectronics business have been reclassified as discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. Corporate expenses such as general corporate overhead and interest have not been allocated to discontinued operations. Additionally, all assets and liabilities of the Breinigsville, Pennsylvania and Matamoros, Mexico operations have been reclassified as held for sale on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented, and the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows has been recast to reflect the operations in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania and Matamoros, Mexico as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Operating results of the discontinued optoelectronic operations are as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2005			2004
Revenues	$	7,421		$	10,169
Cost of goods sold	5,807			8,884

(1) In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company repositioned its optoelectronics product strategy. As part of this restructuring the Company terminated approximately 110 employees in Pennsylvania and

approximately 90 employees in Mexico. At the time of the restructuring, the Company’s optoelectronics operations incurred severance and related payroll costs of $2,337, of which $1,485 remained at December 31, 2004. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company’s optoelectronics operations incurred an additional $495 of charges related to the repositioning. These charges resulted from post-termination costs associated with transitioning employees who completed their services to the business in the first quarter of 2005. As of March 31, 2005, a liability of $447 remained in connection with the repositioning and was included in “Liabilities held for sale” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. The severance charges are included in the discontinued operations portion of the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(2) As part of the Agere purchase in the first quarter of 2003, the Company recorded an accrued severance liability of $1,800, of which $838 remained as of December 31, 2003. This amount was reduced by $614 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2004 to reflect a reduction in the number of employees originally expected to be impacted from the acquisition due to normal attrition of the workforce which reduced the estimated involuntary workforce reductions. The reduction is included in the discontinued operations portion of the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2004, $157 of the liability remained for the unpaid portion of the severance costs. No liability remained at December 31, 2004.

The carrying value of the assets and liabilities held for sale of the discontinued optoelectronic operations included in the consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

	March 31, 2005			December 31, 2004
Assets held for sale:
Cash		$	42		$	285
Accounts receivable, net		4,511			4,477
Inventories, net		8,766			10,127
Other long-term assets(1)		15,657			16,130
Prepaid expenses		693			637
Other assets		426			710
Assets held for sale		$	30,095		$	32,366
Liabilities held for sale:
Accounts payable and accrued expenses		$	11,600		$	14,310
Other liabilities		348			372
Liabilities held for sale		$	11,948		$	14,682

(1) Prior to the sale of the Company’s optoelectronics operations in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania and Matamoros, Mexico, the Company had identified certain long-term assets as held for sale. These assets included the Pennsylvania facility ($8,000), a variety of equipment used for optoelectronics fabrication and assembly operations at the Pennsylvania and Mexico facilities, and intangible assets related to the optoelectronics business ($972). During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company sold $171 of the assets it had classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2004 and disposed of $144 of the assets. Additionally, the Company transferred $233 of the assets classified as held for sale to the Company’s Texas and Florida operations and reclassified these assets as held and used at their fair value. The Company also classified $75 of assets as held for sale during the three months ended March 31, 2005.

In connection with the sale, the Company is expected to incur approximately $500 of facility clean-up and other costs, approximately $600 of commissions and legal fees and approximately $600 of severance and employee retention costs to be recognized in the second quarter of 2005. During the first quarter of 2005, $65 of legal fees were incurred and included in the Company’s results of discontinued operations.

4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which replaces SFAS No. 123, supersedes APB No. 25, and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flow. Currently, the Company uses the Black-Scholes model for option expense calculation and presents pro forma disclosure of the income statement effect in financial statement footnotes only under APB No. 25. However, under SFAS No. 123(R), pro forma disclosure of the income statement effects of share-based payments will no longer be an alternative and all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, will be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. In addition, companies must also recognize compensation expense related to any awards that are not fully vested as of the effective date. Compensation expense for the unvested awards will be measured based on the fair value of the awards previously calculated in developing the pro forma disclosures in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123. SFAS 123(R) is effective for public companies with annual periods that begin after June 15, 2005. In anticipation of the effective date, the Company has accelerated the vesting of options, excluding option grants to the Company’s board members and chief executive officer, with an option price equal or greater to $9.00 per share in the fourth quarter of 2004. The acceleration was done as part of a comprehensive review of the Company’s entire benefits program and the decision to accelerate some of the Company’s options was made after review of the Company’s current stock price, the competitive standpoint for the Company from the options, the benefit of the options to the employees and the potential effects of SFAS No. 123(R). The closing price of the Company’s stock, as reported on the Nasdaq National Market, on the date of the option vesting was $4.00 per share. The Company expects the adoption of SFAS 123(R) will have a material impact on its results of operations however the Company has not yet determined the method of adoption, the effect of adopting SFAS 123(R), or whether adoption in the first quarter of 2006 will result in amounts that are similar to the current pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, which amends APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions. SFAS No. 153 amends APB Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The statement is to be applied prospectively for nonmonetary assets exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 153 will have a significant impact on the Company’s overall results of operations or financial position.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs—an amendment of ARB No. 43, in an effort to converge U.S. accounting standards for inventories with International Accounting Standards. FAS No. 151 requires idle facility expenses, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) costs to be recognized as current-period charges. It also requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. FAS No. 151 will be effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company’s current accounting policy complies with the requirements of the new standard.

In November 2004, the FASB ratified a consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) with respect to EITF Issue No. 03-13, Applying the Conditions in Paragraph 42 of FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, in Determining Whether to Report Discontinued Operations. A number of issues have arisen in practice in applying the criteria in paragraph 42, and the following broad categories of issues related to the application of both criteria in that paragraph have been identified: (a) whether the intent of the paragraph is that all operations and cash flows of the disposal component be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity or whether some minor level of operations or cash flow may remain; (b) if some insignificant level of operations or cash

flows of the disposal component can continue without precluding discontinued operations reporting, the level at which “significance” should be measured; and (c) in applying the paragraph, the factors to consider in determining whether the selling entity has retained “significant continuing involvement” in the disposed component. As of March 31, 2005, the Company identified the optoelectronics operations as a discontinued operation pursuant to EITF 03-13 and has presented the consolidated financial statements accordingly.

In October 2004, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the EITF with respect to EITF No. 04-10, Determining Whether to Aggregate Operating Segments That Do Not Meet the Quantitative Thresholds, which clarifies the guidance in paragraph 19 of SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. According to EITF Issue No. 04-10, operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds can be aggregated only if aggregation is consistent with the objective and basic principles of SFAS No. 131, the segments have similar economic characteristics, and the segments share a majority of the aggregation criteria listed in items (a)-(e) in paragraph 17 of SFAS No. 131. The consensus applies to fiscal years ending after October 13, 2004. EITF 04-10 has not resulted in a change to our SFAS No. 131 disclosure.

5. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Net income (loss) per share is presented as basic and diluted net income (loss) per share. Basic net income (loss) per share is net income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share is similar to basic except that the denominator includes potential common shares that, had they been issued, would have had a dilutive effect.

The following is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted shares:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2005	2004
Shares for basic net income (loss) per share:
Weighted-average shares outstanding—Basic	138,785	135,773
Dilutive securities	—	6,606
Weighted-average shares outstanding—Dilutive	138,785	142,379

For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, options and other exercisable convertible securities totaling 22,185 and 10,219 shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculation as their effect would have been antidilutive.

6. Inventories

Inventories, stated at the lower of cost or market, consisted of the following:

	March 31, 2005			December 31, 2004
Inventories, net:
Raw materials	$	19,574			$	21,447
Work-in-process	19,149				19,047
Finished goods	18,993				21,436
	57,716				61,930
Reserve for excess and obsolescence	(12,575		)		(12,311		)
	$	45,141			$	49,619

7. Goodwill and Other Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company is required to perform impairment tests of goodwill at least annually or when events and circumstances warrant. The Company intends to perform this test in the fourth quarter of each year. During the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, there were no impairments or impairment indicators present and no loss was recorded. Goodwill and other acquisition-related intangible assets are included in “Other non-current assets, net” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Information regarding the Company’s other acquisition-related intangible assets is as follows:

	Useful	March 31, 2005								December 31, 2004
	Life			Accumulated			Net Book					Accumulated			Net Book
	(Years)	Gross		Amortization			Value			Gross		Amortization			Value
Non-Amortizing:
Goodwill		$	3,292		$	—		$	3,292	$	450		$	—		$	450
Amortizing:
Patents, trademarks and other	<1 - 10	8,352			6,182			2,170		7,416			5,605			1,811
Total intangible assets		$	11,644		$	6,182		$	5,462	$	7,866		$	5,605		$	2,261

During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company recorded $2,842 of goodwill and $936 of amortizing intangible assets associated with the Company’s acquisition of TFR Technologies, Inc. (see Note 2). The fair value of the intangible assets acquired as part of the acquisition were determined by management, which considered a number of factors including an evaluation by an independent appraiser, and given useful lives that range from less than one year to ten years. The goodwill was recorded as the excess of the total consideration paid for TFR, less the net assets identified. Evaluation of this amount will be reviewed on a yearly basis, or as circumstances warrant, in accordance with SFAS No. 142. Amortization expense of amortizing intangible assets was $577 and $459 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

8. Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

As of March 31, 2005, the Company had $30,125 of assets held for sale as compared to $33,890 as of December 31, 2004. The balances as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 were as follows:

· Due to the April 2005 sale of the Company’s optoelectronics operations in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania and Matamoros, Mexico, the Company has included the assets of these operations as held for sale on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet for all periods presented accordance with GAAP. As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 these assets accounted for $30,095 and $32,366, respectively, of the consolidated balance (see Note 3).

· As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company held $30 and $850 of assets obtained from the liquidation of an investment the Company had in a privately held company. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company sold $725 of the assets and disposed of $33 of the assets, resulting in a net gain of $5. The Company also reclassified $62 of the assets during the period as held and used at their fair value in accordance with GAAP. No gain or loss was recorded on this transaction.

· As of December 31, 2004, the Company held $674 of equipment located at the Company’s Texas facility. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company transferred these assets back into production at their fair value in accordance with GAAP. As a result of the transaction, the Company recorded

an impairment charge of $31 during the three months ended March 31, 2005. As of March 31, 2005, none of these assets remained.

As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company had $11,948 and $14,682, respectively, of liabilities held for sale. These liabilities are the liabilities recorded by the Company’s optoelectronics operations in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania and Matamoros, Mexico. In accordance with GAAP, these liabilities are classified as held for sale on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet for all periods presented due to the sale of these operations in the second quarter of 2005 (see Note 3).

9. Product Warranty

The Company estimates the potential liability for costs to repair or replace products under warranties and technical support costs when the related product revenue is recognized. The liability for product warranties is calculated based on a combination of factors including historical product return experience, known product warranty issues with specific customers, and judgment of expected levels of returns based on economic and other factors. An accrual for expected warranty costs results in a charge to the financial results in the period recorded. This liability can be difficult to estimate and, if the Company experiences warranty claims in excess of projections, the Company may need to record additional accruals which would adversely affect the financial results. The liability for product warranties for operations is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the activity related to the Company’s reserve for warranty expense for operations:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2005				2004
Beginning balance		$	1,181			$	2,011
Accruals		381				144
Deductions		(223		)		(1,046		)
Ending balance		$	1,339			$	1,109

10. Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment for operations consisted of the following:

	March 31, 2005			December 31, 2004
Land	$	19,691			$	19,691

The components of other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, were as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2005			2004
Net income (loss)	$	(7,745	)		$	2
Other comprehensive income:
Net unrealized gain (loss) on cash flow hedges	(238		)		30
Net unrealized gain (loss) on available for sale investments	(1,569		)		144
Comprehensive income (loss)	$	(9,552	)		$	176

12. Foreign Currency Exchange

The Company’s functional currency for all operations worldwide is the U.S. dollar. For foreign operations with the U.S. dollar as the functional currency, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at the period-end exchange rates. Certain non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured using historical rates. Statements of operations are remeasured at the prior month’s balance sheet rate. To manage its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments, including hedges. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss for derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is immediately reported as a component of other income (expense), net. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is initially recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction is recognized into earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company reported foreign currency gains from remeasurement and hedging activity of $72, compared to foreign currency losses from remeasurement and hedging activity of $78 for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

As of March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had forward currency contracts outstanding of $5,241 and $34,331, respectively. The contracts designated as cash flow hedges at March 31, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $5,241 and $2,170, respectively. The contracts designated as balance sheet hedges used to hedge exposure to foreign receivables at March 31, 2004, were approximately $32,161. The Company had no balance sheet hedges as of March 31, 2005.

13. Reduction in Force

In the first quarter of 2004, the Company accrued and recorded as a charge to earnings $295 for severance costs associated with a reduction in force of approximately 10 employees assigned to its Texas operations. The charge was a result of the Company’s ongoing efforts to align costs and capacity with its levels of production and revenue. As of March 31, 2004, a liability of $184 remained for the unpaid portion of these severance costs and was included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. No liability remained at December 31, 2004.

The following table details the severance activity for periods presented:

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

In February 2003, several nearly identical putative civil class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against Sawtek, Inc., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary since July 2001. The lawsuits also named as defendants current and former officers of Sawtek and the Company. The cases were consolidated into one action, and an amended complaint was filed in this action on July 21, 2003. The amended class action complaint is purportedly filed on behalf of purchasers of Sawtek’s stock between January 2000 and May 24, 2001, and alleges that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, as well as Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-5, by making false and misleading statements and/or omissions to inflate Sawtek’s stock price and conceal the downward trend in revenues disclosed in Sawtek’s May 23, 2001 press release. The complaint does not specify the amount of monetary damages sought. Sawtek and the individual defendants filed their motion to dismiss on September 3, 2003, and briefing on the motion was completed on November 19, 2003. The court heard oral argument on November 21, 2003, and issued an order partially denying the motion to dismiss on December 19, 2003. Specifically, the court found that the complaint was not barred by the statute of limitations, but reserved ruling on the other aspects of the motion to dismiss. Because the statute of limitations issue is a novel question of law, the court stayed the proceedings in this case to allow the defendants to file an interlocutory appeal to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. The defendants duly filed for interlocutory appeal on January 22, 2004. Because the Court of Appeals is considering the identical issue in another matter, the appeal process has been stayed, pending the Court of Appeals’ decision in the other matter. The Company denies the allegations contained in the complaint and intends to continue its vigorous defense against these claims.\

On March 16, 2005, Preferred Real Estate Investments, Inc. ("PREI") filed a complaint against our subsidiary, TriQuint Optoelectronics, Inc., in the Court of Common Pleas of Lehigh County, Pennsylvania (the “court”) alleging specific performance and general damages relating to negotiations for the sale of our facility in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania to Anthem Partners, LLC. In addition, on March 24, 2005, PREI filed a lis pendens against the facility. On May 9, 2005, the court granted our motion and struck the lis pendens. Furthermore, on April 4, 2005 we filed an answer to PREI’s complaint, and on April 25, 2005 PREI filed a response to our answer. On May 5, 2005, we filed a motion for summary judgment against PREI regarding the complaint, and the motion for summary judgment is still pending. We deny any wrongdoing and intend to vigorously defend ourselves in this action.

15. Convertible Subordinated Notes

There were no repurchases of the Company’s 4% convertible subordinated notes during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. At March 31, 2005, the Company had $223,755 of convertible subordinated notes outstanding and net capitalized issuance costs of $1,971 as compared to $223,755 of convertible subordinated notes outstanding and $2,228 of net capitalized issuance costs at December 31, 2004. During the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company amortized $256 and $330, respectively, of the capitalized issuance costs.

16. Income Taxes

The net income tax expense from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $92, compared to a net income tax benefit of $236 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The net tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was primarily due to taxes in Costa Rica, Mexico and Japan. The net tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was primarily the result of recording a receivable of $300 for a refund due of an amount paid in a prior year, offset by tax accruals associated with foreign operations. The current deferred tax liability includes the TFR acquisition, offset by the valuation allowance. The Company’s deferred tax liability recorded on its condensed consolidated

balance sheet relates primarily to management’s estimate of the income tax expense in the jurisdictions in which the Company has operations. The Company currently receives tax benefits due to a partial tax holiday associated with its Costa Rican operation. For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, this benefit was approximately $319 and $554, respectively. The tax holiday expires in 2007.

17. Segment Information

SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information establishes standards for the reporting by public business enterprises of information about operating segments, products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The method for determining what information to report is based on the way that management organizes the segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The Company has aggregated its businesses into a single reportable segment as allowed under SFAS No. 131 because the segments have similar long-term economic characteristics. In addition, the segments are similar in regards to (a) nature of products and production processes, (b) type of customers and (c) method used to distribute products. Accordingly, the Company describes its reportable segment as high-performance components and modules for communications applications. All of the Company’s revenues result from sales in its product lines.

The Company’s sales outside of the United States for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 were approximately 54% and 52%, respectively, of total revenues.

18. Subsequent Events

On April 14, 2005, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell its optoelectronics operation in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania and its optoelectronics subsidiary in Matamoros, Mexico to CyOptics, Inc., a private optical components manufacturer. The agreement included the sale of the products, manufacturing equipment, inventory, the Mexican entity, related intellectual property rights and other assets that constitute the operation that manufacturers indium phosphide (“InP”) optical chips and components for the optical networking market. On April 29, the Company completed the sale. The terms of the sale were $13,500 cash at closing, a promissory note for approximately $5,500 (subject to adjustment based on the value of certain working capital accounts) and preferred stock representing approximately 10% of the voting shares of CyOptics. CyOptics also assumed certain liabilities associated with the optoelectronics operations (see Note 3).

Overview

We are a global supplier of high-performance components and modules for communications applications. Our focus is on the specialized expertise, materials and know-how for radio frequency (“RF”) and intermediate frequency (“IF”) applications. We enjoy diversity in our markets, applications, products, technology and customer base. We provide customers with standard and custom product solutions as well as foundry services in the wireless phones, wireless infrastructure networks and defense markets. Our products are designed on various wafer substrates including compound semiconductor materials such as gallium arsenide (“GaAs”), using a variety of device technologies such as surface acoustic wave (“SAW”) and bulk acoustic wave (“BAW”). Using these materials, devices and our proprietary technology, our products can overcome the performance barriers of competing devices in a variety of applications and offer other key advantages such as steeper selectivity, lower distortion, reduced size and weight and more precise frequency control. For example, GaAs has inherent physical properties that allow its electrons to move up to five times faster than those of silicon. This higher electron mobility permits the manufacture of GaAs integrated circuits that operate at higher levels of performance than silicon devices. Our customers include major communication companies worldwide.

Strategy and Industry Considerations

Our business strategy is to provide our customers with high-performance, low-cost solutions to applications in the wireless phone, wireless infrastructure and defense markets. Our mission is, “Connecting the Digital World to the Global Network”, and we accomplish this through a diversified product portfolio within the communications industry. We strive to be a premier supplier of solutions

based on complex materials such as GaAs and other compound semiconductor materials and SAW and BAW based products. In wireless phones, we provide high performance RF filters, duplexers, receivers, small signal components, power amplifiers, switches, and integrated passive components. We have developed of RF front-end modules with the goal of maximizing content and minimizing stacked margins. In wireless infrastructure networks, we are a supplier of active and passive components for RF communications and we are a significant supplier of SAW filters to base stations. We estimate the global number of subscribers to wireless communications to grow from approximately 1.3 billion in 2002 to approximately 1.7 billion by 2006.

The semiconductor industry in general has been subject to slumping demand and excess capacity since 2001. This has been the case for our business as well. Wafer and semiconductor manufacturing facilities represent a very high level of fixed cost due to investments in plant and equipment, labor costs, and repair and maintenance costs. During periods of low demand, selling prices also tend to decrease which, when combined with high fixed manufacturing costs, can create a material adverse impact on operating results.

The wireless phone market grew to industry estimates of over 680 million units sales in 2004 and industry projections are for approximately 730 million unit sales in 2005. We believe we are uniquely positioned to take advantage of the integration for cost reduction trend we see in the market as we are the only supplier to offer a complete portfolio of high volume, cost effective technologies that support the integration of filtering, switching and RF power components. However, the impact of direct conversion architectures, which reduces the need for some of our products in CDMA handsets, is expected to reduce our revenues by $20.0 million to $26.0 million in 2005 as compared to 2004.

The base station and broadband markets overall are estimated to be stable in 2005 as compared to 2004.

The defense market is stable and long-term. Revenues in the first quarter of 2005 were down $1.4 million from the first quarter of 2004, however, we are actively engaged with multiple defense industry contractors in the development of next-generation phased array systems, have key design wins in major projects such as the Joint Strike Fighter and F-22, and expect to participate in other large projects such as the B-2 radar upgrade. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2005 we entered into a multi-year contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (“DARPA”) to develop high power wide band amplifiers in gallium nitride. We expect these programs to expand throughout 2005 and 2006.

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Our principal executive offices are located at 2300 N.E. Brookwood Parkway, Hillsboro, Oregon 97124 and our telephone number at that location is (503) 615-9000. Information about the company is also available at our website at www.triquint.com, which includes links to reports we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The contents of our website are not incorporated by reference in this Report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Some of our accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. The following accounting policies involve a critical accounting estimate because they are particularly dependent on estimates and assumptions made by management about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made. In addition, while we have used our best estimates based on facts and circumstances available to us at the time, different estimates reasonably could have been used in the

current period and changes in the accounting estimates we used are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, which may have a material impact on the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations.

Our most critical accounting estimates include revenue recognition, the valuation of inventory, which impacts gross margin; assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets, which primarily impacts operating expense when we impair assets or accelerate depreciation; valuation of investments in privately held companies, which impacts net income when we record impairments; deferred income tax assets and liabilities, which impacts our tax provision; reserve for warranty costs, which impacts gross margin; and stock-based compensation. We also have other policies that we consider to be key accounting policies, such as our policies for the valuation of accounts receivable, reserves for sales returns and allowances, and reserves for commitments and contingencies; however, these policies either do not meet the definition of critical accounting estimates described above or are not currently material items in our financial statements. We review our estimates, judgments, and assumptions periodically and reflect the effects of revisions in the period that they are deemed to be necessary. We believe that these estimates are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

We derive revenues primarily from the sale of standard and customer-specific products and services in the wireless phone, broadband wireless access, base station and defense markets. We also receive revenues from foundry services, non-recurring engineering fees and cost-plus contracts for research and development work, which collectively are less than 5% of consolidated revenues for any period. Our revenues also include nonrecurring engineering revenues related to the development of customer-specific products. Our markets during these comparative periods include wireless phones, base stations, defense and broadband which includes wireless LAN (Local Area Network), satellite, optical networking, point-to-point radios, automotive and other. Our distribution channels include our direct sales staff, manufacturers’ representative firms, and distributors. Sales of our products are generally made through either our sales force and independent manufacturers’ representatives or through our stocking distributor. The majority of our shipments are made directly to our customers, with shipments to our manufacturing representatives and our stocking distributor, accounting for less than 10% of total revenues during 2004 and the first quarter of 2005.

Revenues from the sale of standard and customer-specific products are recognized when title to the products pass to the buyer. Revenues from foundry services and non-recurring engineering fees are recorded when the service is completed or upon certain milestones as provided for in the agreements. Revenues from cost-plus contracts are recognized on the percentage of completion method based on the costs incurred to date and the total contract amount, plus the contractual fee. Revenues from our distributor are recognized when the product is sold to the distributor. Our distribution agreements provide for selling prices that are fixed at the date of sale, although we occasionally offer price concessions which are specific, of a fixed duration and are reserved for. Further, the distributor is obligated to pay the amount and it is not contingent on reselling the product; the distributor takes title to the product and bears substantially all of the risks of ownership; the distributor has economic substance; we have no significant obligations for future performance to bring about resale; and the amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated. We allow our distributor to return products for warranty reasons as well as for exchange products, within certain limitations. Customers can only return product for warranty reasons. If we are unable to repair or replace products returned under warranty, we will issue a credit for a warranty return.

Inventories

We state our inventories at the lower of cost or market. We use a combination of standard cost and moving average cost methodologies to determine our cost basis for our inventories. This methodology

approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. In addition to stating our inventory at a lower of cost or market valuation, we also evaluate it each period for excess quantities and obsolescence. This evaluation includes identifying those parts specifically identified as obsolete and reserving for them, analyzing forecasted demand versus quantities on hand and reserving for the excess, identifying and recording other specific reserves, and estimating and recording a general reserve based on historical experience and our judgment of economic conditions. If future demand or market conditions are less favorable than our projections and we fail to reduce manufacturing output accordingly, additional inventory reserves may be required and would have a negative impact on our gross margin in the period the adjustment is made.

Long-Lived Assets

We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment of their carrying value when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors we may consider in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant negative industry or economic trends, significant changes or planned changes in our use of the assets, plant closure or production line discontinuance, technological obsolescence, or other changes in circumstances which indicate the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. If impairment appears probable, we evaluate whether the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows attributable to the assets in question is less than their carrying value. If this is the case, we recognize an impairment loss to the extent that carrying value exceeds fair value. Fair value is determined based on market prices or discounted cash flow analysis, depending on the nature of the asset. Any estimate of future cash flows is inherently uncertain. The factors we take into consideration in making estimates of future cash flows include product life cycles, pricing trends, future capital needs, cost trends, product development costs, competitive factors and technology trends as they each affect cash inflows and outflows. Technology markets are highly cyclical and are characterized by rapid shifts in demand that are difficult to predict in terms of direction and severity. If an asset is written down to fair value that becomes the asset’s new carrying value, which is depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset.

Investments in Privately Held Companies

In previous years, we had made a number of investments in small, privately held technology companies in which we hold less than 20% of the capital stock or hold notes receivable. We account for these investments at their cost unless their value has been determined to be other than temporarily impaired, in which case we write the investment down to its impaired value. We review these investments periodically for impairment and make appropriate reductions in carrying value when an other-than-temporary decline is evident; however, for non-marketable equity securities, the impairment analysis requires significant judgment. We evaluate the financial condition of the investee, market conditions, and other factors providing an indication of the fair value of the investments. Adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of the investees could result in additional other-than-temporary losses in future periods. As of March 31, 2005, we had $0.3 million, of investments in privately held companies.

Income Taxes

We are subject to taxation from federal, state and international jurisdictions. A significant amount of management judgment is involved with our annual provision for income taxes and the calculation of resulting deferred tax assets and liabilities. We evaluate liabilities for estimated tax exposures in jurisdictions of operation. These tax jurisdictions include federal, state and international tax jurisdictions. Significant income tax exposures include potential challenges on foreign entities, merger, acquisition and disposition transactions and intercompany pricing. Exposures are settled primarily through the completion of audits within these tax jurisdictions, but can also be affected by other factors. Changes could cause management to find a revision of past estimates appropriate. The liabilities are frequently reviewed by management for their adequacy and appropriateness. As of March 31, 2005, we were not currently under

audit by the U.S. taxing authorities. We concluded federal income tax audits for the U.S. consolidated tax group on earlier years, most recently for the years 2000 and 2001. The 2003 German audit of our German subsidiary (TriQuint Semiconductor GmbH) is in progress. Tax periods within the statutory period of limitations not previously audited are potentially open for examination by the taxing authorities. Potential liabilities associated with these years will be resolved when an event occurs to warrant closure, primarily through the completion of audits by the taxing jurisdictions. To the extent audits or other events result in a material adjustment to the accrued estimates, the effect would be recognized during the period of the event. Management believes that an appropriate liability has been established for estimated exposures, though the potential exists for results to vary materially from these estimates.

We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. We consider future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in determining the need for a valuation allowance. We evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a regular basis and adjust as needed. These adjustments have an impact on our financial statements in the periods in which they are recorded. In 2002, we determined that a valuation allowance should be recorded against all of our deferred tax assets based on the criteria of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. As of March 31, 2005, this valuation allowance is still in place.

Warranty Costs

We sell our products with warranties that they will be free of faulty workmanship or defective materials and that they will conform to our published specifications or other specifications mutually agreed to with a customer. An accrual for expected warranty costs results in a charge to the financial results in the period recorded. This liability can be difficult to estimate and, if we experience warranty claims in excess of our projections, we may need to record additional accruals which would adversely affect our financial results.

We allow only our distributor to exchange product for other than warranty reasons. If we are unable to repair or replace a product returned under warranty, we will issue a credit for a warranty return.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for compensation cost related to employee stock options and other forms of employee stock-based compensation plans other than ESOP in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. As such, compensation expense would be recorded on the date of grant only if the current market prices of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. We apply Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which allows entities to continue to apply the provision of APB No. 25 and provide pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option grants as if the fair value based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied.

The accounting for stock-based compensation involves a number of estimates about the expected lives of stock options, interest rates, stock volatility, and assumptions as well as the selection of a valuation model. We have selected to use the Black-Scholes option valuation model. A change in any of these estimates or a selection of a different option pricing model could have a material impact on our pro forma net income (loss) disclosures. Beginning in the first quarter of 2006, we will be required to account for stock-based compensation under SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment’, which will require us to recognize the estimate on our financial statements. See Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Acquisition of TFR Technologies, Inc.

On January 2, 2005, we successfully completed the acquisition of TFR Technologies, Inc. (“TFR”), a manufacturer and developer of thin film resonator filters for communication applications using bulk acoustic wave (“BAW”) or film bulk acoustic wave (“FBAR”) technology. We believe that BAW technology is critical to developing higher frequency filters for next generation wireless communication products and is a natural complement to our SAW filters. We paid $2.9 million on the acquisition date and will pay an additional $2.3 million within one year after the closing date. We are also obligated to pay royalties on revenue we recognizes from TFR technology based products over the four period subsequent to the closing date, up to a maximum of $3.0 million. We also expect to incur employee retention charges of up to $1.7 million, which will be expensed over a period of up to 18 months after the closing date as incurred.

The TFR acquisition was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. Details of the purchase price are as follows:

	(in millions)
Cash paid at closing		$	2.9
Cash due within one year(1)		2.3
Acquisition costs(2)		0.1
Total		$	5.3

(1) We may also be required to pay up to an additional $3.0 million for royalties which will be recognized as additional goodwill. The amount is based upon future revenue we recognizes from TFR technology based products over the four year period after the closing date.

(2) We expect to incur up to an additional $1.7 million of charges related to employee retention. These charges will be expensed throughout a period of up to 18 months after the closing date. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we incurred $0.4 million of these charges.

The purchase price was allocated to the assets and liabilities based upon fair values as follows:

	(in millions)
Cash		$	0.4
Accounts receivables and other assets		0.7
Property, plant and equipment		0.7
Intangible assets		0.9
Goodwill		2.8
Payables and other liabilities		(0.2		)
Total		$	5.3

Discontinued Operations

During the first quarter of 2005, we concluded that our optoelectronics operations were not going to meet the revenue projections we had when we initially acquired the operations from Agere Systems, Inc. in January 2003. Further, significant reductions in average selling prices combined with reduced demand and valuation for new technologies with improved performance in the optoelectronic market has led to continued losses from these operations for us. As a result, we decided to sell these operations and on April 14, 2005, entered into an agreement to sell our optoelectronics operation in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania and our optoelectronics subsidiary in Matamoros, Mexico to CyOptics, Inc. (“CyOptics”). With the sale, we believe we will benefit from focusing our attention on our growing wireless handset, base station, defense and wireless broadband access markets and build upon our successful portfolio of

semiconductor and filter products. The transaction allows us to exit our optoelectronics operation that manufactures indium phosphide (“InP”) optical components; however, we will continue to manufacture and sell gallium arsenide (“GaAs”) based semiconductor related products for the optoelectronics market produced at our Oregon and Texas facilities. Revenue from GaAs related optical products accounted for approximately 5% of our revenues in 2004 and approximately 3% during the first quarter of 2005. The sale, completed on April 29, 2005, was an asset sale including the products, manufacturing equipment, inventory, the Mexican entity, related intellectual property rights and other assets that constitute the operation that manufactures InP optical chips and components for the optical networking market. The terms of the sale were $13.5 million cash at closing, a promissory note for approximately $5.5 million (subject to adjustment based on the value of certain working capital accounts) and preferred stock representing approximately 10% of the voting shares of CyOptics. CyOptics also assumed certain liabilities associated with the optoelectronics operations.

Separately, on March 7, 2005, TriQuint Optoelectronics, a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Agreement”) to sell to Anthem Partners, LLC (“Anthem”) the land and building and related facilities occupied by our optoelectronics operations in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania (the “Facility Sale”). The gross sales price is approximately $9.3 million, less commissions and certain facility clean-up and other costs. Pursuant to the Agreement, we have agreed to negotiate in good faith a lease for approximately 90,000 square feet of the 849,000 square foot facility for optoelectronic operations based upon the general terms set forth in the Agreement. The lease term will be two years from the closing of the Facility Sale, with an option to renew. In connection with the sale of our optoelectronics operations to CyOptics, we have executed a lease with CyOptics as a tenant with terms acceptable to Anthem. We intend to assign the lease to Anthem as the new landlord at the time of the closing of the Facility Sale. We will guarantee the base rent due from CyOptics to Anthem under the initial two year lease term. The Facility Sale is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2005.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for all periods presented to reflect the Breinigsville, Pennsylvania and Matamoros, Mexico optoelectronics operations as discontinued operations.

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

As noted above, we have accounted for our optoelectronics operations in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania and Matamoros, Mexico, as discontinued operations, in accordance with GAAP. As a result, we have classified the assets and liabilities associated with these operations as held for sale. As of March 31, 2005 we had classified $30.1 million of assets and $11.9 million of liabilities as held for sale. As of December 31, 2004, we had classified $32.4 million of assets and $14.7 million of liabilities as held for sale. See Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Additionally, during 2004 we had determined that we would sell excess equipment associated with our semiconductor manufacturing operations in Texas and Oregon and assets obtained from the liquidation of an investment we had in a privately held company. As of December 31, 2004, $1.5 million of these assests remained as held for sale. During the first quarter of 2005, we transferred $0.7 million of the excess equipment located at our Texas facility back into production at its fair market value in accordance with GAAP. As a result of the transaction, we recorded an impairment charge of less than $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005. As of March 31, 2005, none of these assets remained. During the first quarter of 2005, we also sold $0.7 million of the assets we obtained from the liquidation of an investment we had in a privately held company and disposed of less than $0.1 million of the assets. As a result of the transaction, we recorded a gain of less than $0.1 million. Further, during the first quarter of 2005, we reclassified $0.1 million of the assets as held and used in accordance with GAAP. No gain or loss was recorded on this transaction.

Results of Operations

On April 14, 2005, we announced that we had entered into an agreement to sell our indium phosphide (“InP”) based optical networking product lines in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania and Matamoros, Mexico, and related assets to CyOptics, Inc. The sale was completed on April 29, 2005 and included in the equipment, facility leases, inventory, accounts receivable, intellectual property rights and certain liabilities. In addition, on March 11, 2005, we announced the sale of the optoelectronics facility in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania used to manufacture the InP based optical networking products. As a result, in accordance with GAAP, the balance sheet reflects the assets and liabilities related to these operations as held for sale for all periods presented. Additionally, the statements of income and cash flows reflect the results of the InP optical networking business as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The following management discussion and analysis of operations addresses continuing operations only, unless otherwise noted. In addition, because our remaining revenues from GaAs based products for the optical networking end markets account for less than 5% of our consolidated revenues, we are now presenting our revenues based on the following end markets: wireless phones, broadband, base stations and defense.

The following table sets forth the results of our operations expressed as a percentage of revenues. Our historical operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future period.

Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2005 and 2004

Revenues from Continuing Operations

Our revenues declined $12.8 million, or 16%, to $67.0 million in the first quarter of 2005 from $79.7 million in the first quarter of 2004. This decrease in revenue is a result of significantly lower sales of products for the wireless phone market, lower sales of products for wireless LAN, satellite, the base station market and slightly lower sales for defense, partially offset by increase in revenues for products for point-to-point radios. The demand for products in the first quarter of 2005 was generally weaker due to the overall softness in the economy especially in technology spending. Bookings have recently picked up and our book-to-bill ratio for the first quarter was 1.02 to 1, which is considered a favorable trend. Our revenues by end market for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31
(as a % of Total Revenues from Continuing Operations)	2005			2004

Wireless Phones

Our wireless phone market revenues are from electronic components for mobile phones including filters, amplifiers, receivers, duplexers, switches, mixers and other related items. We sell these component parts to phone manufacturers worldwide. The demand for components parts has been historically driven by the increasing usage of wireless phones and due to the complexity of wireless phones utilizing features such as multiband and global positioning systems which require more components. Worldwide, the total number of wireless phones in use continues to grow with Asia and Eastern Europe growing at the fastest rates. There are a number of wireless phone standards in use. GSM, CDMA, and TDMA refer to the primary wireless air interface standards used throughout the world. GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) is the most prevalent standard, utilized primarily in Europe and many parts of Asia with a growing presence in the U.S. This standard accounts for over 60% of total phone sales and subscribers worldwide. CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) is the standard used principally in North and South America, Korea, and parts of China and India. Historically, we have more sales into CDMA applications as many of our products, such as IF SAW filters, receivers, duplexers, and triplexers are better suited for CDMA and in some cases are not used in GSM. TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) is an older digital air interface standard that wireless phone manufacturers are phasing out. Our efforts to design and introduce products based on the GSM standard are an important element in our strategy and we believe we are gaining share in this large market. However, because most new phone architectures utilize a direct conversion system in CDMA phones, some of our products for CDMA phones such as IF filters and receivers are being phased out. As a result, our revenues from CDMA phones has begun to decline and are projected to further decline until we ramp up our new products for CDMA phones including duplexers and power amplifiers.

Our revenues for this end market declined approximately 26% in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the first quarter of 2004. The decline was primarily due to three factors: lower overall demand for components for handsets, lower average selling prices for certain products and the decline in our shipments of applications for CDMA phones due to direct conversion. During the first quarter of 2005, we experienced lower overall shipments due to inventory corrections by the leading worldwide cell phone manufacturers. In addition, our average selling prices of our RF and IF filters in particular declined from the year ago quarter. Lastly, our sales of IF filters declined from over 8 million units in the first quarter of

2004 to approximately 1.5 million units and our receivers from nearly 4.7 million units to 2.7 million units both from the year ago quarter compared to the first quarter of 2005 due largely to the use of direct conversion architecture in CDMA phones. Our revenues for power amplifiers and power amplifier modules increased significantly from a year ago. Overall, our revenue from CDMA applications declined, but our revenue from GSM increased due to our new GSM power amplifier modules. Our revenues from CDMA applications now account for approximately 65% of our sales to the wireless phone market compared to 82% in the first quarter of 2004. Correspondingly, our revenues from GSM applications now account for approximately 34% of our wireless phone revenue compared to about 16% in the first quarter of 2004. TDMA revenue continues to decline and is now only about 1% of wireless phone revenue.

Broadband wireless access and other

The broadband market includes a variety of applications such as point-to-point radios, wireless LAN, satellite systems, cable, automotive, GaAs based components for optical networks, and standard products. Revenues for most of these applications declined from the first quarter of 2004, except point-to-point radios and GaAs based optical components, which increased from the comparable period.

Revenues from this market were particularly strong in the first half of 2004 following several quarters of relatively soft demand. However, in the second half of 2004, orders declined resulting in reduced revenues for the first quarter of 2005 for the markets overall. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2004, revenues in this end market essentially flat with the exception in wireless LAN and satellite applications which recorded increased revenues.

Defense

Revenues from our defense related market decreased compared to the first quarter of 2004 due to the timing and roll out of large scale defense programs. Our products for this market typically are for phased array antenna and similar applications for fighter jets. These programs normally have long lead times but are somewhat stable. Recently, we have experienced an increase in orders in this market and expect a slight increase in revenue in the near term. In addition, our recent acquisition of TFR Technologies Inc. will add BAW filter revenue for defense applications and our recent DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) contract will add to this revenue as well. Gross margins for the DARPA business will be lower than average due to pass-through billings for subcontracted components of the project.

Base stations

We derive the bulk of our revenues from the base station market through the sale of SAW filters, foundry services, and other components. Revenues from this end market can vary significantly from quarter to quarter and are dependent on both new base station build out and upgrades to existing base stations. We experienced very strong base station revenue in the first three quarters of 2004 and then a softening of bookings in the third and fourth quarter of 2004, which impacted our revenue in the first quarter of 2005. Compared to the first quarter of 2004, our revenue in the base station market declined approximately 9%. Over 40% of our base station revenue was in GSM/GPRS/EDGE (global system for mobile communications/general packet radio service/enhanced data rates for global evolution) related applications in the first quarter of 2005.

Domestic and International Revenues

Revenues from domestic customers were $30.7 million during the first quarter of 2005, compared to $38.9 million during the first quarter of 2004. Revenues from international customers were $36.3 million for the first quarter of 2005, compared $40.8 million for the first quarter of 2004. Revenues from

international customers continue to grow due to the increasing demand for wireless phones and infrastructure products from in Asia, South America and Eastern Europe where wireless subscriber penetration rates are significantly lower than penetration rates in the U.S. and Western Europe.

Revenue Outlook

We are projecting our revenues for the three months ending June 30, 2005 to be the same to slightly increased compared to the first quarter of 2005.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is defined as revenue less cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold includes direct material, labor and overhead expenses and certain production costs related to non-recurring engineering revenue. In general, we derive a higher gross profit margin on lower volume products for base stations, point-to-point radios, and satellite systems, whereas products for wireless phones and WLAN markets are higher volume, price sensitive and generally lower margin products. Our gross profit margin as a percentage of revenue decreased to 27.5% in the first quarter of 2005, compared to 35.4% in the first quarter of 2004. The decrease was primarily due to lower overall sales resulting in less absorption of fixed overhead costs, lower average selling prices on SAW filters, and the fact that the results for the first quarter of 2004 included a $1.3 million benefit from the reclaim of platinum embedded in equipment that did not recur in the first quarter of 2005. In addition, the results in the first quarter of 2004 included certain adjustments for warranty and other reserves that were a benefit to gross margin whereas in the first quarter of 2005, we wrote off $0.8 million of excess and obsolete inventory. All of these factors are detrimental to the first quarter 2005 gross margin compared to the first quarter of 2004. Offsetting this in part is a $1.9 million benefit to gross margin from the settlement of an outstanding credit memo which had expired and was closed during the quarter, prohibiting additional claims.

Operating expenses

Research, development and engineering

Research, development and engineering expenses include the costs incurred in the design of new products, as well as ongoing product research and development expenses. Our research, development and engineering expenses for the first quarter of 2005 decreased 2.3% to $12.3 million, as compared to $12.6 million for the first quarter of 2004. This decrease was primarily the result of our ongoing cost reduction programs, which included reductions in our workforce, a change in our procedures on development of wafers, a consolidation of vendors for certain purchases, use of common computer aided design tools and reduced work hours due to lower demand.

Selling, general and administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses include commissions, labor expenses for marketing and administrative personnel, and other corporate administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2005 increased $1.9 million (16.2%) to $13.4 million, as compared to $11.5 million for the first quarter of 2004. The increase was primarily due to increased administrative costs to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, increased sales and marketing expenses and the inclusion of the costs from TFR Technologies Inc., which we acquired in January 2005.

Reduction in force

During the first quarter of 2004, we recorded a charge of $0.3 million associated with a reduction in force of approximately 10 employees assigned to our Texas operations. The charge was a result of our

ongoing efforts to align costs and capacity with its levels of production and revenue. There was no similar charge recorded during the first quarter of 2005.

Impairment of long-lived assets and gain on disposal of equipment

We recorded an impairment of less than $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2005 for the write down of certain fabrication equipment held for sale to fair market value. In addition, we sold off certain excess equipment at auction and recorded a net gain of $0.2 million in the quarter.

Acquisition related charges

As part of our acquisition of TFR, we anticipate paying an earn-out payment to the majority shareholder of approximately $1.5 million, payable in one year, and retention bonuses of $0.2 million, payable in 2006. The cost for these amounts are being recognized over the requisite period resulting in $0.4 million of charges in the first quarter of 2005, which are recorded as expenses as incurred.

Other income (expense), net

In the first quarter of 2005, we recorded net other income of $0.1 million compared to net expense of $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2004. The primary reason for the net reduction in expense is the reduction in interest expense on our 4% convertible notes as we repurchased and retired $45.0 million of these notes in 2004. In addition, we are recording higher interest income earned on our cash and marketable securities portfolio, due to higher interest rates on short and intermediate term investments.

Income tax expense (benefit)

In the first quarter of 2005, we recorded $0.1 million of income tax expense due to taxes on foreign income compared to a benefit in the first quarter of 2004 related to tax refunds. A full valuation allowance was recorded against the net operating losses incurred during the first quarter of 2005.

Loss from discontinued operations

The discontinued operations relates to our indium phosphide based optoelectronics operation and facility that we sold in the second quarter of 2005. In accordance with GAAP, all of the current and historical statements have been recast to reflect this operation as a discontinued operation and its net results for the periods reported are reported on this line item.

We recorded a loss from discontinued operations of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2005 compared to a loss of $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2004. The primary reason for the reduced loss is due to a significant restructuring of the business and reduction in workforce in the fourth quarter of 2004. In addition, we conducted an auction of excess optoelectronics equipment in the first quarter of 2005 and realized a net gain of $1.6 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

As of March 31, 2005, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities decreased $2.4 million (1%) to $385.7 million, from $388.1 million as of December 31, 2004. This decrease in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities is primarily due to capital expenditures ($3.6 million), the acquisition of TFR ($2.7 million) and unrealized losses on investments ($1.6 million), partially offset by cash provided by continuing operations ($5.1 million). Additionally, we received proceeds from the sale of assets ($0.9 million) and used cash in our discontinued optoelectronics operations ($0.6 million). The cash provided by continuing operations primarily represents net loss, adjusted for gains and losses on disposals

of assets, and depreciation and amortization ($2.2), a reduction in inventories ($4.5 million) and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses ($1.6 million), partially offset by an increase in other assets ($2.6 million) and account receivable ($0.6 million).

At March 31, 2005, our net accounts receivable balance increased $1.1 million (3%) to $36.8 million, from $35.7 million at December 31, 2004. The increase is primarily due to accounts receivable acquired from the TFR acquisition ($0.6 million) and the timing of shipments during the period.

At March 31, 2005, our net inventory balance decreased $4.5 million (9%) to $45.1 million, compared to $49.6 million at December 31, 2004. The decrease in inventory during the due inventory management and improved inventory turnover.

At March 31, 2005, our net property, plant and equipment decreased $4.0 million (2%) to $195.5 million, compared to $199.5 million at December 31, 2004. The decrease is primarily due depreciation ($9.1 million), partially offset by capital expenditures ($3.6 million), assets acquired from TFR ($0.7 million), and the reclassification of assets held for sale to productive assets ($0.7 million).

At March 31, 2005, our accounts payable and accrued expenses increased $4.0 million (12%) to $38.5 million, compared to $34.5 million at December 31, 2004. The increase is primarily due to increases in trade payables and accrued payroll and taxes due to the timing of payments, combined with the payables acquired from the TFR acquisition, partially offset by reductions in our warranty and sales reserves.

Transactions Affecting Liquidity

On January 2, 2005, we completed the acquisition of TFR and paid $2.7 million on the closing date, net of $0.4 million of cash acquired. Additionally, we will pay an additional $2.3 million within one year after the closing date. We will also pay contingent royalties on revenue we recognizes from TFR technology based products over the four period subsequent to the closing date, up to a maximum of $3.0 million. We expect to incur employee retention charges of up to $1.7 million which will be paid in the first and second quarters of 2006.

On May 18, 2004, we completed the repurchase of $45.0 million face value of our convertible subordinated notes for $43.9 million before accrued interest. We regularly evaluate the market pricing of these notes in comparison to our cash flow forecast to determine the value to the company of repurchasing a portion of them. Since 2001, we have repurchased $121.2 million face value of the original $345.0 million issuance. There were no repurchases during the first quarter of 2005 or 2004.

We expect to receive total consideration of approximately $32.0 million in the second quarter of 2005 from the closing of the sale of our optoelectronics operations in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania and Matamoros, Mexico and the facility located in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania. Of this total, we expect approximately $22.8 million will be in cash.

Capital Resources

Our current cash, cash equivalent and short-term investment balances, together with cash anticipated to be generated from continuing operations are currently our principal sources of liquidity and we believe these will satisfy our projected working capital, capital expenditure, and possible investment needs, at a minimum, through the next 12 months. We expect our needs for capital expenditures to be between $3 million and $5 million for the three months ending June 30, 2005. The principal risks to these sources of liquidity would be capital expenditure or investment needs in excess of our expectations, in which case we may be required to finance any additional requirements through additional equity offerings, debt financings or credit facilities. We may not be able to obtain additional financings or credit facilities, or if these funds are available, they may not be available on satisfactory terms.

Factors that May Affect Future Results

An investment in our common stock is extremely risky. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect management’s current expectations, assumptions and estimates of future performance and economic conditions. Such statements are made in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The following are some of the factors we believe could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks and you may lose part or all of your investment. Other factors besides those listed here could also adversely affect us.

Our operating results may fluctuate substantially, which may cause our stock price to fall.

Our quarterly and annual results of operations have varied in the past and may vary significantly in the future due to a number of factors including, but not limited to, the following:

· completion of the pending sale of our 849,000 square foot optoelectronics facility in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania;

· cancellation or delay of customer orders or shipments;

· our success in achieving design wins in which our products are designed into those of our customers;

· market acceptance of our products and those of our customers;

· variability of the life cycles of our customers’ products;

· variations in manufacturing yields;

· timing of announcements and introduction of new products by us and our competitors;

· changes in the mix of products we sell;

· declining average sales prices for our products;

· ability to integrate existing and newly developed technologies;

· changes in manufacturing capacity and variations in the utilization of that capacity;

· variations in operating expenses;

· impairments of our assets;

· the long sales cycles associated with our customer-specific products;

· the timing and level of product and process development costs;

· availability of materials used in the assembly of our products;

· performance of vendors and subcontractors;

· realization of research and development efforts;

· variations in raw material quality and costs;

· delays in new process qualification or delays in transferring processes;

· the cyclical nature of the semiconductor and electronic communications component industries;

· the timing and level of nonrecurring engineering revenues and expenses relating to customer-specific products;

· our ability to successfully integrate the operations of acquired businesses and to retain the customers of acquired businesses;

· significantly higher costs associated with integrating the operations of acquired businesses than we anticipated;

· significant changes in our and our customers’ inventory levels;

· longer payment terms; and

· delivery terms requiring that we cover shipment and insurance costs as well as request that we cover duty costs.

We expect that our operating results will continue to fluctuate in the future as a result of these and other factors. Any unfavorable changes in these or other factors could cause our results of operations to suffer as they have in the past. Due to potential fluctuations, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indicators of our future performance.

Additionally, if our operating results are not within the market’s expectations, then our stock price may fall. The public stock markets have experienced extreme price and trading volume volatility, particularly in high technology sectors of the market. This volatility has significantly affected the market prices of securities of many technology companies for reasons frequently unrelated to or disproportionately impacted by the operating performance of these companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

New competitive products and technologies have been announced which could reduce demand for our SAW filter products and our receiver and related products for wireless phones.

New products have been introduced in the marketplace that use a direct conversion architecture in wireless phones, which reduces the number of components needed in the receiver portion of wireless phones. Sales of our SAW IF filter products along with some of our receiver products would be negatively impacted by wireless phone manufacturers’ use of a direct conversion chipset as new phone models are developed. Direct conversion architecture has been available since the mid-1990’s for GSM phones and wireless phone manufacturers are increasing the use of this process in new phones. In the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, sales of SAW IF filters and receiver products for GSM phones accounted for less than 1% of our total revenues. In addition, several companies have introduced a direct conversion chipset for CDMA phones which will impact our future revenues from SAW IF filters and receiver products for CDMA phones. In the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, sales from SAW IF filters for CDMA phones were approximately 2% and 7%, respectively, of our total revenues; and sales of receiver and related products for CDMA phones were approximately 5% and 8% of our total revenues, respectively. Further, we continue to sell products for TDMA wireless phones, which are increasingly migrating to the GSM standard. Our sales of products for TDMA phones for the first quarter of 2005 and 2004 were less than 1% of our total revenue. In 2005, we are anticipating this conversion for all standards to have a negative impact on our SAW filter revenue in certain applications of $20.0 million to $26.0 million as compared to 2004.

Other competitive filtering technologies, including film bulk acoustic resonator (“FBAR”) and bulk acoustic wave (“BAW”), have been introduced and have gained market acceptance in certain applications and we recently acquired TFR Technologies, Inc. to enable us to participate in the BAW market.

We are actively pursuing new products such as RF filters, duplexers, power amplifiers, modules and BAW filtering to offset the decline in sales of products affected by direct conversion architecture and the loss of revenues from products for TDMA phones. If we are not successful in introducing competitive or alternative products, our business, financial condition and results of operation will suffer.

Our operating results may suffer due to fluctuations in demand for semiconductors and electronic communications components.

From time to time, the wireless phone, infrastructure networks, base stations, optical networks, and defense and broadband markets have experienced significant downturns and wide fluctuations in product supply and demand, often in connection with, or in anticipation of, maturing product cycles, capital spending cycles and declines in general economic conditions. This cyclical nature of these markets has led to significant imbalances in demand, inventory levels and production capacity. It has also accelerated the decrease of average selling prices per unit. We have experienced, and may experience again, periodic fluctuations in our financial results because of these or other industry-wide conditions. For example, if demand for communications applications were to decrease substantially, demand for the integrated circuits and modules, optical components and modules and SAW filter components in these applications would also decline, which would negatively affect our operating results. Conversely, we believe that current trends such as wireless phone portability, color screens and digital photo capability, and the development of wireless infrastructure in countries such as India and China will increase the demand for our products. We do not know, however, if this will lead to a sustained level of increased demand.

We depend on the continued growth of communications markets.

We derive all of our product revenues from sales of products and services for electronic communication applications. These markets are characterized by the following:

· cyclical demand;

· intense competition;

· rapid technological change; and

· short product life cycles, especially in the wireless phone market.

These markets may not resume historical growth rates and if the current market softness continues and demand for electronic communications applications declines, our operating results could suffer.

Products for electronic communications applications are often based on industry standards, which are continually evolving. Our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to successfully develop and introduce new products based on emerging industry standards, which could render our existing products unmarketable or obsolete. If communications markets evolve to new standards, we may be unable to successfully design and manufacture new products that address the needs of our customers or that will meet with substantial market acceptance.

Our financial statements will have a significant material adverse charge when we are required to expense share-based payment to employees.

calculation and present pro forma disclosure of the income statement effect in financial statement footnotes only under APB No. 25. However, under SFAS No. 123(R), pro forma disclosure of the income statement effects of share-based payments will no longer be an alternative and all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options will be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. In addition, companies must also recognize compensation expense related to any awards that are not fully vested as of the effective date. Compensation expense for the unvested awards will be measured based on the fair value of the awards previously calculated in developing the pro forma disclosures in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123. SFAS 123(R) is effective for public companies at the beginning of the first annual period beginning June 15, 2005. As such, SFAS 123(R) will be effective for us beginning in 2006 and we are currently evaluating our share-based employee compensation programs to determine what action, if any, may be required to reduce this potential charge when this statement becomes effective. In anticipation of the effective date, we have accelerated the vesting of options, excluding option grants to our board members and chief executive officer, with an option price equal or greater to $9.00 per share. The acceleration was done as part of a comprehensive review of our entire benefits program and the decision to accelerate some of the options was made after review of our current stock price, our competitive standpoint from the options, the benefit of the options to the employees and the potential effects of SFAS No. 123(R). The closing price of our stock, as reported on the Nasdaq National Market, on the date of the option vesting was $4.00 per share. The adoption of the standard is expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial statements.

In the event we are unable to satisfy regulatory requirements relating to internal controls, or if these internal controls over financial reporting are not effective, our business and our stock price could suffer.

Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley requires companies to do a comprehensive and costly evaluation of their internal controls. As a result, during 2004, we were required to perform an evaluation of our internal controls over financial reporting and have our auditor publicly attest to such evaluation. At December 31, 2004, management asserted, and our independent registered public accounting firm attested, that we had no material weaknesses over internal controls over financial reporting and were in full compliance of Section 404. Our efforts to comply with Section 404 and related regulations regarding our management’s required assessment of internal control over financial reporting and our independent registered public accounting firm’s attestation of that assessment has required, and continues to require, the commitment of significant financial and managerial resources. While we anticipate maintaining the integrity of our internal controls over financial reporting and all other aspects of Section 404, we cannot be certain that a material weakness will not arise. If a material weakness is discovered, we could be subject to regulatory investigations or sanctions, costly litigation or a loss of public confidence in our internal controls, which could have an adverse effect on our business and our stock price.

Our revenues are at risk if we do not introduce new products and/or decrease costs.

Historically, the average selling prices of our products have decreased over the products’ lives and we expect them to continue to do so. To offset these decreases, we rely primarily on achieving yield improvements and other cost reductions for existing products and on introducing new products that can be manufactured at lower costs. Selling prices for our SAW products have declined due to competitive pricing pressures and to the use of newer surface mount package devices that are smaller and less expensive than previous generation filters. For example, we have experienced declines in average selling prices for RF filters for wireless phones due to competitive pressure and for filters for base stations due to the use of surface mount packages. We believe our future success depends, in part, on our timely development and introduction of new products that compete effectively on the basis of price and performance and adequately address customer requirements. The success of new product and process introductions depends on several factors, including:

· proper selection of products and processes;

· successful and timely completion of product and process development and commercialization;

· market acceptance of our or our customers’ new products;

· achievement of acceptable manufacturing yields;

· our ability to offer new products at competitive prices; and

· managing the cost of raw materials and manufacturing services.

Our product and process development efforts may not be successful and our new products or processes may not achieve market acceptance. To the extent that our cost reductions and new product introductions do not occur in a timely manner, our results of operations could suffer.

Our business could be harmed if systems manufacturers do not use components made of GaAs or other alternative materials we utilize.

Silicon semiconductor technologies are the dominant process technologies for integrated circuits and the performance of silicon integrated circuits continues to improve. System designers may be reluctant to adopt our products because of:

· their unfamiliarity with designing systems with our products;

· their concerns related to manufacturing costs and yields;

· their unfamiliarity with our design and manufacturing processes; and

· uncertainties about the relative cost effectiveness of our products compared to high performance silicon components.

Systems manufacturers may not use GaAs components because the production of GaAs integrated circuits has been, and continues to be, more costly than the production of silicon devices. Systems manufacturers may also be reluctant to rely on a jointly produced product because future supplies may depend on our continued good relationships with those vendors. As a result, we must offer devices that provide superior performance to that of traditional silicon based devices.

In addition, customers may be reluctant to rely on a smaller company like us for critical components. We cannot be certain that additional systems manufacturers will design our products into their systems or that the companies that have utilized our products will continue to do so in the future. If our products fail to achieve market acceptance, our results of operations would suffer.

A decline in the growth of wireless communications or in the continued acceptance of CDMA technology, particularly in emerging markets, would have an adverse impact on us.

Our products for CDMA-based systems, including filters for base stations and receivers and power amplifiers for wireless phones comprise a significant part of our business. CDMA technology is relatively expensive and there can be no assurance that emerging markets, such as China and India, will continue to adopt this technology. Our business and financial results would be adversely impacted if CDMA technology does not continue to gain acceptance or if demand does not strengthen.

Our business may be adversely impacted if we fail to successfully introduce new products or to gain our customers’ acceptance of those new products.

The markets for electronic communications applications in which we participate are subject to intense competition, rapid technological change, and short product life cycles. It is critical for companies such as ours to continually and quickly develop new products to meet the changing needs of these markets. If we fail to develop new products to meet our customers’ needs on a timely basis, we will not be able to effectively compete in these markets.

For example, we announced our intention to develop and market RF front-end modules for wireless phones at cost-effective prices. We will also need to continue to expand our wireless applications into CDMA and GSM applications. If we fail to design and produce these products in a manner acceptable to our customers or have incorrectly anticipated our customers’ demand for these types of products, our operating results could be harmed.

Our business will be adversely impacted if we do not continue to gain market acceptance of our wireless phone module products or develop effective manufacturing processes to produce them.

Our strategy for wireless phone products depends in large part upon the success of our design and marketing of wireless phone modules. Wireless phone modules represent the incorporation of some or all of the components of the wireless phone radio into a single product. If we are unable to design these modules in a manner acceptable to our customers or have incorrectly anticipated our customers’ demand for these products, our operating results will be adversely affected.

Manufacturing module products represents a departure from our traditional component manufacturing business. Production of module products entails different processes, costs, yields, and lead times. If we fail to successfully transition manufacturing resources to produce these products or are unable to do so cost-effectively, our operating results will be adversely affected. Our current experience is that increased module sales are having a negative impact on gross margins. If we are unable to reduce the costs of producing modules, total gross margin will decrease as the proportion of module sales increase.

If we fail to sell a high volume of products, our operating results will be harmed.

Because large portions of our manufacturing costs are relatively fixed, our manufacturing volumes are critical to our operating results. If we fail to achieve acceptable manufacturing volumes or experience product shipment delays, our results of operations could be harmed. During periods of decreased demand, our high fixed manufacturing costs negatively affect our results of operations. We base our expense levels in part on our expectations of future orders and these expense levels are predominantly fixed in the short-term. However, if the rate of growth of demand decreases, we will not be able to grow our revenue. If we receive fewer customer orders than expected or if our customers delay or cancel orders, we may not be able to reduce our manufacturing costs in the short-term and our operating results would be harmed. In addition, we are selling products to an increasing number of our customers on a consignment basis, which can limit our ability to forecast revenues.

If we do not sell our customer-specific products in large volumes, our operating results may be harmed.

We manufacture a substantial portion of our products to address the needs of individual customers. Frequent product introductions by systems manufacturers make our future success dependent on our ability to select development projects which will result in sufficient volumes to enable us to achieve manufacturing efficiencies. Because customer-specific products are developed for unique applications, we expect that some of our current and future customer-specific products may never be produced in sufficient volume and may impair our ability to cover our fixed manufacturing costs. Furthermore, if customers cancel or delay orders for these customer-specific products, our inventory of these products may become unmarketable or obsolete, which would negatively affect our operating results.

In addition, if we experience delays in completing designs, fail to obtain development contracts from customers whose products are successful, or fail to have our product designed into the next generation product of existing volume production customers, our revenues could be harmed.

Our excess manufacturing capacity may adversely affect our operating results if current market softness does not improve and if we are unable to sell our assets held for sale.

We have converted our Hillsboro facility from four-inch wafer production to six-inch wafer production and have expanded the capacity of our Texas operation with the acquisition of the Richardson facility. These increases in capacity directly relate to significant increases in fixed costs and operating expenses. These increased costs could have an adverse effect on our results of operations during economic downturns. If the current market softness does not improve, the decreased levels of demand and production in conjunction with these increased expense levels will have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We face challenges and risks associated with our acquisition of TFR Technologies, Inc. and, as a result, may not realize the expected benefit of this acquisition.

On January 5, 2005, we completed the acquisition of TFR Technologies, Inc., a manufacturer and developer of thin film resonator filters for communication applications using BAW or FBAR technology.

We face risks associated with this acquisition such as:

· our ability to develop new products and generate new design wins;

· our ability to retain the employees and to integrate them into our corporate culture;

· our ability to retain existing partners and customers of this business;

· our ability to cost-effectively develop commercial products using BAW technology; and

· our ability to successfully integrate the BAW applications into our products.

If CyOptics Inc. is not profitable or if the company lacks sufficient liquidity, our promissory note and preferred stock of CyOptics could decline in value. Further, we could be liable for guaranteed lease payments for the Breinigsville facility if CyOptics defaults on their payments.

As part of the sale of our optoelectronics operation in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania and our optoelectronics subsidiary in Matamoros, Mexico to CyOptics, Inc. on April 29, 2005, we received a promissory note for approximately $5.5 million and preferred stock representing approximately 10% of the voting shares of CyOptics. Thus, if CyOptics is not profitable or if the company lacks sufficient liquidity, or if the value of the enterprise declines, our promissory note and preferred stock could decline in value resulting in an impairment charge.

Further, as part of the anticipated sale of the land and building and related facilities occupied by the optoelectronics operations in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania, we intend to assign the lease to CyOptics at the time of closing, guaranteeing the base rent due under the initial two year term. Thus, if CyOptics does not make the lease payments in a timely manner, we could be liable for the remaining term of the lease.

If investors or financial or industry analysts do not think the integration of our acquisitions is proceeding as anticipated or that the benefits of the acquisitions may not be realized, the market price of our common stock may decline.

The market price of our common stock may decline if:

· the integration of our acquisitions is not completed in a timely and efficient manner;

· our assumptions about the business models and operations of the acquired businesses were incorrect or their role in our business does not develop as we planned;

· we are unable to introduce new products incorporating acquired technology;

· the effect of the acquisitions on our financial results is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts; or

· following the acquisitions, our stockholders that hold relatively larger interests in our company may decide to dispose of their shares because the results of the acquisitions are not consistent with their expectations.

We face risks of a loss of revenues as we are dependent on U.S. government and military contracts for a portion of our revenues.

While the U.S. government and military programs we are involved in generally have long lead times such as the F-22 and B-2 aircraft programs, they are also subject to delays or cancellation. Additionally, changes in government funding for defense or the loss of a significant defense program or contract would have a material adverse impact on our company. During 2004, we received approximately 15% of our revenues from the U.S. government or from prime contractors on U.S. government sponsored programs principally for defense applications. Further, spending on defense contracts can vary significantly depending on funding from the U.S. government. During 2004 and 2005, our government and military contracts have been negatively impacted by the war in Iraq as the government allocated more business to funding the war and less on new development and long-term programs, such as the ones we are dependent upon.

We face risks from failures in our manufacturing processes, the maintenance of our fabrication facilities and the processes of our vendors.

The fabrication of integrated circuits, particularly those made of GaAs, is a highly complex and precise process. Our integrated circuits are currently manufactured on wafers made of GaAs, and LiNbO3. Our SAW filters are currently manufactured primarily on LiNbO3, LiTaO3 and quartz wafers. During manufacturing, each wafer is processed to contain numerous integrated circuits or SAW filters. We may reject or be unable to sell a substantial percentage of wafers or the components on a given wafer because of:

· minute impurities;

· difficulties in the fabrication process, such as failure of special equipment, operator error or power outages;

· defects in the masks used to print circuits on a wafer;

· electrical;

· wafer breakage; or

· other factors.

We refer to the proportion of final components that have been processed, assembled and tested relative to the gross number of components that could be constructed from the raw materials as our manufacturing yield. Compared to the manufacture of silicon integrated circuits, GaAs technology is less mature and more difficult to design and manufacture within specifications in large volume. In addition, the more brittle nature of GaAs wafers can result in lower manufacturing yields than with silicon wafers. We have in the past experienced lower than expected manufacturing yields, which have delayed product shipments and negatively impacted our results of operations. We may experience difficulty maintaining acceptable manufacturing yields in the future.

In addition, the maintenance of our fabrication facilities and our assembly facilities is subject to risks, including:

· the demands of managing and coordinating workflow between geographically separate production facilities;

· disruption of production in one of our facilities as a result of a slowdown or shutdown in our other facility; and

· higher operating costs from managing geographically separate manufacturing facilities.

We depend on certain vendors for components, equipment and services. We maintain stringent policies regarding qualification of these vendors. However, if these vendors’ processes vary in reliability or quality, they could negatively affect our products, and thereby, our results of operations.

We face risks from an increasing proportion of our operations and employees being located outside of the U.S.

As we continue to expand our operations, an increasing number of our employees and operations are located in countries other than the U.S. The laws and governance of these countries may differ substantially from that of the U.S. and may expose us to increased risks of adverse impacts on our operations and results of operations. These risks could include: loss of protection of proprietary technology, disruption of production processes, interruption of freight channels and delivery schedules, currency exposure, financial institution failure, government expropriation, labor shortages, political unrest, and fraud.

Some of our manufacturing facilities are located in areas prone to natural disasters.

We have a SAW manufacturing and assembly facilities located in Apopka, Florida and San Jose, Costa Rica. Hurricanes, tropical storms, flooding, tornadoes, and other natural disasters are common events for the southeastern regions of the U.S. and in Central America which could affect our operations in these areas. Additionally, mud slides, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions could also affect our Costa Rican and Oregon facilities. Any disruptions from these or other events would have a material adverse impact on our operations and financial results.

Although we have manufacturing and assembly capabilities for our Sawtek products in both Apopka, Florida and San Jose, Costa Rica, we are only capable of fabricating wafers for those products in our Apopka facility and rely on our San Jose facility for the majority of our assembly operations. As a result, any disruption to either facility would have a material adverse impact on our operations and financial results.

The hurricanes encountered in the southeastern U.S. during the third quarter of 2004 did not cause any significant damage to our facilities.

The following table indicates the approximate exposure we believe we have with respect to natural disasters:

	Type of	Approximate Percent of Total*
Location	Disaster	Fixed Assets			Revenues
Apopka, Florida	H		15	%		35% - 40%
Dallas, Texas	H		50	%		20% - 30%
Hillsboro, Oregon	E, V		20	%		25% - 35%
San Jose, Costa Rica**	E, V, H		15	%		35% - 40%

E—Earthquake/mudslide

V—Volcanic eruption

H—Hurricane and/or tornado and flooding

* Based on revenues or fixed assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

** Costa Rica is a contract manufacturer for certain products partially produced in Apopka, FL.

A disruption in our Costa Rican operations would have an adverse impact on our operating results.

Our operating facility in Costa Rica presents risks of disruption such as government intervention, currency fluctuations, labor disputes, limited supplies of labor, power interruption, civil unrest, or war. Any such disruptions could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our Costa Rican operations have been a significant contributor to our operating results in the past. We expect our Costa Rican operations to continue to account for a significant proportion of our SAW operations in the future. Any disruption in these operations would have a significant negative impact on our operating results.

We face risks from changes in tax regulations and a change in our Costa Rican subsidiary’s favorable tax status would have an adverse impact on our operating results.

We are subject to taxation in many different countries and localities worldwide. In some jurisdictions, we have employed specific business strategies to minimize our tax exposure. To the extent the tax laws and regulations in these various countries and localities could change, our tax liability in general could increase or our tax saving strategies could be threatened. Such changes could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results.

For example, our subsidiary in Costa Rica operates in a free trade zone. We expect to receive a 75% exemption from Costa Rican income taxes through 2007. The Costa Rican government continues to review its policy on granting tax exemptions to companies located in free trade zones and it may change our tax status or minimize our benefit at any time. Any adverse change in the tax structure for our Costa Rican subsidiary made by the Costa Rican government would have a negative impact on our net income. During the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, the 75% tax exemption reduced our income tax expense by $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

In addition, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service could assert additional taxes associated with our subsidiary due to differing interpretations of transfer pricing and other intercompany transactions.

Our business may be adversely affected by acts of terrorism or war.

Acts of terrorism or war could interrupt or restrict our business in several ways. We rely extensively on the use of air transportation to move our inventory to and from our vendors and to ship finished products to our customers. If war or terrorist acts cause air transportation to be grounded or severely interrupted, our business would be similarly adversely impacted.

In addition, war or acts of terrorism could cause existing export regulations to be changed, which could limit the extent to which we are allowed to export our products. To the extent that war or acts of terrorism also reduce customer confidence and create general economic weakness, our business would also be adversely affected.

A widespread outbreak of an infectious disease or illness could negatively affect our marketing, assembly and test, design, or other operations, making it more difficult and expensive to meet our obligations to our customers and could result in reduced demand from our customers.

A widespread outbreak of an infectious disease or illness could adversely affect our operations as well as demand from our customers. A number of countries in the Asia/Pacific region have experienced outbreaks of different infectious diseases and illnesses in the past. As a result of widespread outbreaks, businesses can be temporarily affected and individuals can become ill or quarantined.

Our operating results could be harmed if we lose access to sole or limited sources of materials, equipment or services.

We currently obtain some components, equipment and services for our products from limited or single sources, such as certain ceramic packages and chemicals. Less than 35% of our purchases are from sole sources. We purchase these components, equipment, supplies and services on a purchase order basis, do not carry significant inventories and generally do not have long-term supply contracts with these vendors. Our requirements are relatively small compared to silicon semiconductor manufacturers. Because we often do not account for a significant part of our vendors’ business, we may not have access to sufficient capacity from these vendors in periods of high demand. If we were to change any of our sole or limited source vendors, we would be required to requalify each new vendor. Requalification could prevent or delay product shipments, which could negatively affect our results of operations. In some cases, it would be difficult to replace these suppliers and requalification could take up to 12 months.

Our reliance on a limited number of suppliers for certain raw materials and parts may impair our ability to produce our products on time and in acceptable yields. For example, at times in the past, we have experienced difficulties in obtaining ceramic packages and lids used in the production of bandpass filters. At other times, the acquisition of relatively simple devices, such as capacitors, has been problematic because of the large demand swings that can occur in the cellular handset market for such components. Our optical components group is dependent upon a large number of suppliers, some of which are very small companies, for components that make up their components and sub-system product offerings such as transceivers. The success of these products is critical to the overall success of our business. The primary risk to our source of supply to manufacture these products is the currently depressed state of the optical network market and its potential impact on smaller vendors in terms of possible bankruptcy or inability to meet delivery schedules. In addition, our reliance on these vendors may negatively affect our production if the components, equipment or services vary in reliability or quality. If we are unable to obtain timely deliveries of sufficient quantities of acceptable quality or if the prices increase, our results of operations could be harmed.

Our operating results could be harmed if our subcontractors and partners are unable to fulfill our requirements.

We currently utilize subcontractors for the majority of our integrated circuit and module assemblies. Approximately 30% of our revenue is derived from components in which we utilize subcontractors for some portion of the production process. There are certain risks associated with dependence on third party providers, such as minimal control over delivery scheduling, adequate capacity during demand peaks, warranty issues and protection of intellectual property. Additionally, if these subcontractors are unable to meet our needs, it could prevent or delay production shipments that could negatively affect our results of operations. If we were to change any of our subcontractors, we would be required to requalify each new subcontractor, which could also prevent or delay product shipments that could negatively affect our results of operations. In addition, our reliance on these subcontractors may negatively affect our production if the services vary in reliability or quality. If we are unable to obtain timely service of acceptable quality or if the prices increase, our results of operations could be harmed.

If our products fail to perform or meet customer requirements, we could incur significant additional costs.

The fabrication of integrated circuits and SAW filters from substrate materials such and the modules containing these components is a highly complex and precise process. Our customers specify quality, performance and reliability standards that we must meet. If our products do not meet these standards, we may be required to rework or replace the products. Our products may contain undetected defects or failures that only become evident after we commence volume shipments. We have experienced product quality, performance or reliability problems from time to time. We are currently experiencing field failures

and returns on some components and are collecting data for analysis and evaluation as to the extent of the problem. Other defects or failures may also occur in the future. If failures or defects occur, we could:

· lose revenues;

· incur increased costs such as warranty expense and costs associated with customer support;

· experience delays, cancellations or rescheduling of orders for our products; or

· experience increased product returns or discounts.

We may face fines or our facilities could be closed if we fail to comply with environmental regulations.

Federal, state and local regulations impose various environmental controls on the storage, handling, discharge and disposal of chemicals and gases used in our manufacturing process. For our manufacturing facilities, we generally provide our own manufacturing waste treatment and contract for disposal of some materials. We are required to report usage of environmentally hazardous materials. The failure to comply with present or future regulations could result in fines being imposed on us and we could be required to suspend production or cease our operations. These regulations could require us to acquire significant equipment or to incur substantial other expenses to comply with environmental regulations. Any failure by us to control the use of, or to adequately restrict the discharge of, hazardous substances could subject us to future liabilities and harm our results of operations. Further, new environmental initiatives could affect the materials we currently use in production.

We have substantial indebtedness.

We have $223.8 million of indebtedness remaining in the form of our convertible subordinated notes due in 2007. We have additional indebtedness for operating and capital leases and may guarantee the lease of the Breinigsville, Pennsylvania facility for a period of two years as a result of the sale of the facility. We may incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. The level of our indebtedness, among other things, could:

· make it difficult for us to obtain any necessary future financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements or other purposes;

· require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our expected cash flow from operations to service our indebtedness, which would reduce the amount of our expected cash flow available for other purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures;

· limit our flexibility in planning for or reacting to, changes in our business; and

· make us more vulnerable in the event of a downturn in our business.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to meet our debt service obligations, including our obligation under the notes.

We may not be able to pay our debt and other obligations.

If our cash flow is inadequate to meet our obligations, we could face substantial liquidity problems. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow or otherwise obtain funds necessary to make required payments on the notes or our other obligations, we would be in default under the terms thereof. Default under the indenture would permit the holders of the notes to accelerate the maturity of the notes and could cause defaults under future indebtedness we may incur. Any such default could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. In addition, we can not assure you that we would be able to repay amounts due in respect of the notes if payment of the notes were to be accelerated following the occurrence of an event of default as defined in the indenture.

Customers may delay or cancel orders due to regulatory delays.

The increasing significance of electronic communications products has increased pressure on regulatory bodies worldwide to adopt new standards for electronic communications, generally following extensive investigation of and deliberation over competing technologies. The delays inherent in the regulatory approval process may in the future cause the cancellation, postponement or rescheduling of the installation of communications systems by our customers. These delays have in the past had, and may in the future have, a negative effect on our sales and our results of operations.

We must improve our products and processes to remain competitive.

If technologies or standards supported by our or our customers’ products become obsolete or fail to gain widespread commercial acceptance, our results of operations may be materially impacted. Because of continual improvements in semiconductor technology, including those in high performance silicon technologies such as CMOS, where substantially more resources are invested than in other technologies such as GaAs or SAW products, we believe that our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to continue to improve our product and process technologies. We must also develop new technologies in a timely manner. In addition, we must adapt our products and processes to technological changes and to support emerging and established industry standards. We have and must continue to perform significant research and development into advanced material development such as gallium nitride (“GaN”), and silicon carbide (“SiC”) to compete with future technologies of our competitors. These research and development efforts may not be accepted by our customers, and therefore may not achieve sustained production in the future. We may not be able to improve our existing products and process technologies, develop new technologies in a timely manner or effectively support industry standards. If we fail to do so, our customers may select another GaAs or SAW product or move to an alternative technology.

Our results of operations may suffer if we do not compete successfully.

The markets for our products are characterized by price competition, rapid technological change, short product life cycles, and heightened global competition. Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing and marketing resources. Due to the increasing requirements for high-speed, high-frequency components, we expect intensified competition from existing integrated circuit and SAW device suppliers, as well as from the entry of new competitors to our target markets and from the internal operations of some companies producing products similar to ours for their internal requirements.

For our integrated circuit devices, we compete primarily with both manufacturers of high performance silicon integrated circuits as well as manufacturers of GaAs integrated circuits. Our silicon based competitors include companies such as Applied Micro Circuits Corporation, Maxim Integrated Products Inc., Motorola, Philips, STMicroelectronics N.V and others. Our GaAs-based competitors include companies such as Anadigics Inc., Eudyna, Inc., Raytheon, Renesas Technology Corp., RF Micro Devices, Skyworks Solutions, Inc., Vitesse Semiconductor Corp. and others. For our SAW devices our competitors include companies such as ICS, Phonon, RF Monolithics, Vectron, EPCOS AG, Temex, TST, Fujitsu Microelectronics, Inc., Murata, Panasonic and others. Competition could also come from companies ahead of us in developing alternative technologies such as silicon germanium (“SiGe”) and InP integrated circuits and digital filtering and direct conversion devices.

Competition from existing or potential competitors may increase due to a number of factors including, but not limited to, the following:

· offering of new or emerging technologies in integrated circuit design using alternative materials such;

· offering of new or emerging technologies such as digital filtering, BAW or direct conversion as alternatives to SAW filters;

· mergers and acquisitions of our customers by our competitors or other entities;

· longer operating histories and presence in key markets;

· development of strategic relationships between our competitors;

· ability to obtain raw materials at lower costs due to larger purchasing volumes or other advantageous supply relationships;

· access to a wider customer base; and

· access to greater financial, technical, manufacturing and marketing resources.

Additionally, manufacturers of high performance silicon integrated circuits have achieved greater market acceptance of their existing products and technologies in some applications.

We compete with both GaAs and silicon suppliers in all of our target markets. In microwave and millimeter wave applications, our competition is primarily from a limited number of GaAs suppliers, which are in the process of expanding their product offerings to address commercial applications other than aerospace. We currently have excess capacity in our GaAs fabrication plants and are in the process of evaluating the carrying value of these facilities, which may result in a potential impairment charge.

Competition is primarily based on performance elements such as speed, complexity and power dissipation, as well as price, product quality and ability to deliver products in a timely fashion. Due to the proprietary nature of our products, competition occurs almost exclusively at the system design stage. As a result, a design win by our competitors or by us typically limits further competition with respect to manufacturing a given design.

If we fail to integrate any future acquisitions or successfully invest in privately held companies, our business will be harmed.

We face risks from any future acquisitions, including the following:

· we may fail to merge and coordinate the operations and personnel of newly acquired companies with our existing business;

· we may fail to retain the key employees required to make the operation successful;

· additional complexity may affect our flexibility and ability to respond quickly to market and management issues;

· we may experience difficulties integrating our financial and operating systems;

· we may experience additional financial and accounting challenges and complexities in areas such as tax planning, treasury management, financial reporting and risk management;

· our ongoing business may be disrupted or receive insufficient management attention;

· we may not cost-effectively and rapidly incorporate the technologies we acquire;

· we may not be able to cost-effectively develop commercial products using the newly acquired technology;

· we may not be able to recognize the cost savings or other financial benefits we anticipated;

· we may not be able to retain the existing customers of newly acquired operations;

· existing customers of the acquired operations may demand significant price reductions or other detrimental term changes as a result of the change in ownership;

· our corporate culture may clash with that of the acquired businesses;

· we may incur unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses; and

· our increasing international presence resulting from acquisitions increases our exposure to foreign political, currency, and tax risks.

We face risks from equity investments in privately held companies, such as:

· we may not realize the expected benefits associated with the investment resulting in a partial or total write-off of this investment;

· we may need to provide additional funding to support the privately held company; or

· if their value decreases, we may realize losses on our holdings.

We may not successfully address these risks or any other problems that arise in connection with future acquisitions or equity investments in privately held companies.

We will continue to evaluate strategic opportunities available to us and we may pursue product, technology or business acquisitions or investments in strategic partners. In addition, in connection with any future acquisitions, we may issue equity securities that could dilute the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders, we may incur additional debt and we may be required to amortize expenses related to other intangible assets or record impairment of goodwill that may negatively affect our results of operations.

If we do not hire and retain key employees, our business will suffer.

Our future success depends in large part on the continued service of our key technical, marketing and management personnel. We also depend on our ability to continue to identify, attract and retain qualified technical employees, particularly highly skilled design, process and test engineers involved in the manufacture and development of our products and processes. We must also recruit and train employees to manufacture our products without a substantial reduction in manufacturing yields. There are many other semiconductor companies located in the communities near our facilities and, as the economy improves, it may become increasingly difficult for us to attract and retain those employees. The competition for key employees is intense, and the loss of key employees could negatively affect us. Only four employees have employment agreements; our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Vice President of Sales and the founder of TFR. The founder of TFR is the only individual for whom we currently have key man life insurance in place.

Our business may be harmed if we fail to protect our proprietary technology.

We rely on a combination of patents, trademarks, trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements to protect our intellectual property rights. We currently have patents granted and pending in the U.S. and elsewhere and intend to seek further international and U.S. patents on our technology. In addition to our own inventions, we have acquired a substantial portfolio of U.S. and foreign patent applications in the optoelectronics area of technology. Many of these patent applications have issued as patents and will have lives that will extend 20 years from their respective filing dates, while other are still pending. We cannot be certain that patents will be issued from any of our pending applications or that patents will be issued in all countries where our products can be sold or that any claims allowed from pending applications or will be of sufficient scope or strength to provide meaningful protection or any commercial advantage. Our competitors may also be able to design around our patents. The laws of some

countries in which our products are or may be developed, manufactured or sold, may not protect our products or intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the U.S., increasing the possibility of piracy of our technology and products. Although we intend to vigorously defend our intellectual property rights, we may not be able to prevent misappropriation of our technology. Our competitors may also independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology.

Our involvement in any patent dispute or other intellectual property dispute or action to protect trade secrets and know-how could have a material adverse effect on our business. Adverse determinations in any litigation could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require us to seek licenses from third parties and prevent us from manufacturing and selling our products. Any of these situations could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We have approximately 130 patents that expire from 2005 to 2023, with most expiring between 2015 and 2023. We currently do not have any significant revenue related to a patent that will soon expire.

Our ability to produce our products may suffer if someone claims we infringe on their intellectual property.

The integrated circuit and SAW device industries are characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit of intellectual property rights or positions, which have resulted in significant and often protracted and expensive litigation. If it is necessary or desirable, we may seek licenses under such patents or other intellectual property rights. However, we cannot be certain that licenses will be offered or that we would find the terms of licenses that are offered acceptable or commercially reasonable. Our failure to obtain a license from a third party for technology used by us could cause us to incur substantial liabilities and to suspend the manufacture of products. Furthermore, we may initiate claims or litigation against third parties for infringement of our proprietary rights or to establish the validity of our proprietary rights. Litigation by or against us could result in significant expense and divert the efforts of our technical personnel and management, whether or not the litigation results in a favorable determination. In the event of an adverse result in any litigation, we could be required to:

· pay substantial damages;

· indemnify our customers;

· stop the manufacture, use and sale of the infringing products;

· expend significant resources to develop non-infringing technology;

· discontinue the use of certain processes; or

· obtain licenses to the technology.

We may be unsuccessful in developing non-infringing products or negotiating licenses upon reasonable terms, or at all. These problems might not be resolved in time to avoid harming our results of operations. If any third party makes a successful claim against our customers or us and a license is not made available to us on commercially reasonable terms, our business could be harmed.

Our ability to accurately predict revenues could deteriorate if we generate additional sales through inventory hubbing distribution facilities.

Several of our larger customers have requested that we send our products to independent warehouses known as inventory hubbing distribution facilities to assist them in inventory control. We do not recognize revenues from these hubbing arrangements until the customer takes delivery of the inventory and title of the goods passes to the customer. As a result, increased shipments to these facilities make it more difficult for us to predict short-term revenues as customers can take delivery of the products with little lead-time.

Our business may suffer due to risks associated with international sales.

Our sales outside of the U.S. comprised approximately 54% and 52% of revenues during the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively. As a result, we face inherent risks from these sales, including:

· imposition of government controls;

· currency exchange fluctuations;

· longer payment cycles and difficulties related to the collection of receivables from international customers;

· reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries;

· unfavorable tax consequences;

· difficulty obtaining distribution and support;

· political instability; and

· tariffs and other trade barriers.

In addition, due to the technological advantages provided by GaAs integrated circuits in many military applications, the Office of Export Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce must license all of our sales outside of North America. We are also required to obtain licenses from that agency for sales of our SAW products to customers in certain countries. If we fail to obtain these licenses or experience delays in obtaining these licenses in the future, our results of operations could be harmed. Also, because a majority of our foreign sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, increases in the value of the dollar would increase the price in local currencies of our products and make our products less price competitive.

We may be subject to a securities class action suit if our stock price falls.

Following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s stock, some stockholders may file securities class action litigation. For example, in 1994, a stockholder class action lawsuit was filed against us, our underwriters and some of our officers, directors and investors, which alleged that we, our underwriters and certain of our officers, directors and investors intentionally misled the investing public regarding our financial prospects. We settled the action and recorded a special charge of $1.4 million associated with the settlement of this lawsuit and related legal expenses, net of accruals, in 1998.

In February 2003, several nearly identical putative civil class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against Sawtek, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary since July 2001. The lawsuits also named as defendants current and former officers of Sawtek and our company. The cases were consolidated into one action, and an amended complaint was filed in this action on July 21, 2003. The amended class action complaint is purportedly filed on behalf of purchasers of Sawtek’s stock between January 2000 and May 24, 2001, and alleges that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, as well as Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-5, by making false and misleading statements and/or omissions to inflate Sawtek’s stock price and conceal the downward trend in revenues disclosed in Sawtek’s May 23, 2001 press release. The complaint does not specify the amount of monetary damages sought. Sawtek and the individual defendants filed their motion to dismiss on September 3, 2003, and briefing on the motion was completed on November 19, 2003. The court heard oral argument on November 21, 2003, and issued an order partially denying the motion to dismiss on December 19, 2003. Specifically, the court found that the complaint was not barred by the statute of limitations, but reserved ruling on the other aspects of the motion to dismiss. Because the statute of limitations issue is a novel question of law, the court stayed the proceedings in this case to allow the defendants to file an interlocutory appeal to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Defendants duly filed for interlocutory appeal on January 22, 2004. Because the Court of Appeals is considering the identical

issue in another matter, the appeal process has been stayed, pending the Court of Appeals’ decision in the other matter. We deny the allegations contained in the complaint and intend to continue our vigorous defense against these claims. This litigation may, however, require us to spend a substantial amount of time and money and could distract management from our day to day operations. In addition, there can be no assurance as to our success in defending ourselves against these charges. This and any future securities class action litigation could be expensive and divert our management’s attention and harm our business, regardless of its merits.

Our stock will likely be subject to substantial price and volume fluctuations due to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control and may prevent our stockholders from reselling our common stock at a profit.

The securities markets have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations and the market prices of the securities of semiconductor companies have been especially volatile. The market price of our common stock may experience significant fluctuations in the future. For example, our common stock price has fluctuated from a high of approximately $7.91 to a low of approximately $3.20 during the 52 weeks ended March 31, 2005. This market volatility, as well as general economic, market or political conditions could reduce the market price of our common stock in spite of our operating performance. In addition, our operating results could be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors, and in response, the market price of our common stock could decrease significantly.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws include anti-takeover provisions, which may deter or prevent a takeover attempt.

Some provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and provisions of Delaware law may deter or prevent a takeover attempt, including a takeover that might result in a premium over the market price for our common stock. These provisions include:

Cumulative voting. Our stockholders are entitled to cumulate their votes for directors.

Stockholder proposals and nominations. Our stockholders must give advance notice, generally 120 days prior to the relevant meeting, to nominate a candidate for director or present a proposal to our stockholders at a meeting. These notice requirements could inhibit a takeover by delaying stockholder action.

Stockholder rights plan. We may trigger our stockholder rights plan in the event our board of directors does not agree to an acquisition proposal. The rights plan may make it more difficult and costly to acquire our company.

Preferred stock. Our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors to issue up to five million shares of preferred stock and to determine what rights, preferences and privileges such shares have. No action by our stockholders is necessary before our board of directors can issue the preferred stock. Our board of directors could use the preferred stock to make it more difficult and costly to acquire our company.

Delaware anti-takeover statute. The Delaware anti-takeover law restricts business combinations with some stockholders once the stockholder acquires 15% or more of our common stock. The Delaware statute makes it harder for our company to be acquired without the consent of our board of directors and management.

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Cash Equivalents, Short-term and Long-term Investments

Our investments in cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments are classified as available-for-sale securities and are comprised of highly rated, short and medium-term investments, such as U.S. government agencies, corporate debt securities, commercial paper and other such low risk investments, in accordance with an investment policy approved by our board of directors. All of these investments are held at fair value. Although we manage investments under an investment policy, economic, market and other events may occur which we cannot control. Although the risks are minimal, fixed rate securities may have their fair value adversely impacted because of changes in interest rates and credit ratings. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations because of changes in interest rates or we may suffer principal losses if we were to sell securities that have declined in value because of changes in interest rates or issuer credit ratings. We do not hold or issue derivatives, derivative commodity instruments or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We do not believe that our results of operations would be materially impacted by an immediate 10% change in interest rates.

Debt

Our convertible subordinated notes due 2007 have a fixed interest rate of 4%. Consequently, we do not have significant interest rate cash flow exposure on our long-term debt. However, the fair value of the convertible subordinated notes is subject to significant fluctuations due to their convertibility into shares of our stock and other market conditions. The fair value of these convertible subordinated notes is also sensitive to fluctuations in the general level of the U.S. interest rates. We would be exposed to interest rate risk, if we used additional financing to fund capital expenditures. The interest rate that we may be able to obtain on financings will depend on market conditions at that time and may differ from the rates we have secured in the past. The notes do not contain significant restrictive covenants.

The following table shows the fair values of our investments and convertible subordinated notes as of March 31, 2005 (in thousands):

	Cost		Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents (including unrealized losses of $5)	$	82,883	$	82,878
Available-for-sale investments (including unrealized losses of $3,553)	306,327		302,774
Convertible subordinated notes	223,755		216,116
	$612,965		$	601,768

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to currency exchange fluctuations, as we sell our products internationally and have operations in Costa Rica and Germany. We manage the sensitivity of our international sales, purchases of raw materials and equipment and our Costa Rican operations by denominating most transactions in U.S. dollars. We do engage in limited foreign currency hedging transactions, principally to lock in the cost of purchase commitments and to hedge material cash flows that are not denominated in U.S. dollars, in accordance with a foreign exchange risk management policy approved by our Board of Directors. We primarily use currency forward contracts for this purpose. This hedging activity will reduce, but may not always entirely eliminate, the impact of currency exchange movements. As of March 31, 2005 and 2004, we had forward currency contracts outstanding of approximately $5.2 million and $34.3 million, respectively. The contracts designated as cash flow hedges at March 31, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $5.2 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The contracts designated as balance sheet hedges at March 31, 2004, were approximately $32.1 million. We had no balance sheet hedges as of March 31, 2005.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
