(1) INTERIM ACCOUNTING POLICY

The accompanying financial statements have not been audited. In the opinion of our management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly our financial position at January 1, 2005 and results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.

Certain footnote information has been condensed or omitted from these financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 3, 2004. Results of operations for the three and six- months ended January 1, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

Per SEC’s Release No. 33-8040, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies,” we have determined the critical principles by considering accounting policies that involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments. We state these accounting policies in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended July 3, 2004. There were no significant changes to our critical accounting polices during the six months ended January 1, 2005.

Reporting Periods

Our fiscal year is a 52/53 week operating cycle that ends on the Saturday nearest June 30. Unless otherwise noted, all periods presented herein represent a 13-week operating cycle.

Stock Compensation

We have adopted the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, and amendment to FASB Statement No. 123.” We continue to apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations in accounting for our stock compensation plans for employees and directors. Stock options granted to employees typically have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock and vest ratably over four years. Since the value of an option bears a direct relationship to our stock price, it is an effective incentive for management to create value for shareholders. We therefore view stock options as a critical component of our long-term performance-based compensation philosophy.

We apply APB No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for stock option plans. Our policy is to grant stock options at the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. Accordingly, compensation expense is generally recognized only when options are granted with a discounted exercise price. Any resulting compensation expense is recognized ratably over the associated service period, which is generally the option vesting term. Had compensation cost been recognized consistent with SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, our consolidated net earnings and earnings per share for the three-month and six-month periods ending January 1, 2005 and December 27, 2003 would have been as follows (in thousands except per share data):

Table of Contents

SFAS No. 123 requires the use of option pricing models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of short-lived exchange traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option-pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock. Because the company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in the opinion of management, the existing models might not provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of employee stock options.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) – “Share-Based Payment” This standard supercedes APB No. 25, and requires recognition of expense in the financial statements of the cost of share based payment transactions, including stock options, based on the fair value of the award at the grant date. The provisions of this standard are effective for public companies for interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. We will adopt this statement beginning with our first quarter of fiscal year 2006. At this time we have not determined the transition method that will be used. We are currently evaluating the implementation of this standard and the impact on our calculation of stock option expense. The pro forma provided in

7

Table of Contents

footnote 1 “Stock Compensation” provides a reasonable estimate of the impact on our financial statements. However, our implementation of this standard based on the new guidelines could vary from the pro forma and have a material impact on our financial position.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151 – “Inventory Costs – an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.” This standard clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material. The provisions of this statement are effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Currently this statement does not have an impact on our financial position. However, if in the future we were to experience such abnormal costs such as idle facility expense, handling costs and wasted material it could have a material impact on our operations.

In September 2004, the FASB approved issuance of Staff Position (“FSP”) EITF 03-1-1, “Effective Date of Paragraphs 10 through 20 of EITF Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” (“EITF 03-1”). FSP EITF 03-1-1 delays the effective date of paragraphs 10 through 20 of EITF 03-1 as they relate to recognition of other-than-temporary impairment for cost method and marketable investments. This deferral will extend until a Staff Position is issued to provide clarification of the guidance presented in paragraphs 10 through 20. Effective July 4, 2004, we adopted all other provisions of EITF Issue 03-1, including measurement guidance for evaluating whether an impairment has occurred for marketable securities and cost method investments. Adoption of these requirements did not have a material effect on the results of operations. Effective December 31, 2004, additional disclosures were also required for cost method investments. The effect of implementing the final provisions of paragraphs 10 through 20 cannot currently be estimated due to the pending implementation issues, but is not expected to be material to the results of future operations.

On October 22, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 was enacted by President Bush. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new law on our operations and effective tax rate. At this time, we are unable to determine the effects of this new law and will continue to analyze its potential impact as guidance is made available.

On October 4, 2004, President George W. Bush signed the “Working Families Tax Relief Act of 2004”, which retroactively reinstated the research tax credit to the June 30, 2004 expiration date. This change in the law will not have a material impact on the results of future operations.

(2) ACQUISITION

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2005 we acquired assets for a purchase price of $24.5 million and formed the Video business unit, which provides us with the technology and the capability to develop a family of high performance mixed signal products for the high definition and digital video/imaging market. The purchase consisted of intellectual property and a team of proven engineers. Some of these assets had a short useful life and resulted in $7.1 million of amortization expense in the first quarter of fiscal year 2005. The remaining assets consist of a database valued at $16.2 million with a useful life of 8 years and an assembled workforce valued at $1.2 million with a useful life of 9 years.

(3) MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Investments in marketable securities primarily consist of short-term commercial paper. During the six months ended January 1, 2005, proceeds from the maturities of marketable securities were used for the acquisition of intangible assets related to the Video business unit.

(4) INVENTORY

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first in, first out (FIFO) method. The components of inventories are as follows (in thousands):

A total of $0.8 million in inventory was scrapped in the six months ended January 1, 2005.

(5) DEBT

On March 1, 2004 we entered into a revolving credit loan agreement, which will terminate March 1, 2007. The revolving credit loan agreement allows us to draw down to a maximum balance of $20.0 million in increments of not less than $500,000. At our option, the unpaid balance shall bear interest at the available LIBOR Based Rate (as defined) or the Prime Based Rate (as defined). A commitment fee on the average daily-unused portion of the revolving credit loan balance will be due and payable on a quarterly basis. The commitment fee will be between .20% (.0020) and ..25% (.0025) based on the funded debt to EBITDA ratio calculated the previous quarter. There was no outstanding balance on our revolving credit loan agreement as of January 1, 2005.

Our revolving credit loan agreement requires the maintenance of specified financial ratios, including a fixed charge coverage ratio, a funded debt to EBITDA ratio, a liquidity ratio, a minimum tangible net worth, and it imposes financial limitations. The current revolving credit loan agreement also restricts our ability to pay dividends to the holders of our common stock. At January 1, 2005 we were in compliance with all of these covenants.

In connection with the acquisition of Micro Networks Corporation (“MNC)” in fiscal year 2002, we entered into a revolving credit and term loan facility dated December 31, 2001, which would have terminated December 31, 2004. The facility enabled us to draw down $45.0 million under the term loan and $10.0 million under the revolving credit facility. At our option, the interest rate under the term loan was either (1) an annual base rate, which is the higher of (i) a rate of interest announced from time to time by the lenders’ administrative agent as the base rate (“Base Rate”) or (ii) the sum of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% per annum or (2) London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.75%. At our option, the interest rate under the revolving credit facility was either (1) the Base Rate or (2) the LIBOR Rate plus a pre-formulated margin. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2004, we paid down $4.2 million of the term loan. During the second quarter of fiscal 2004, we made the final payment of $5.8 million on our term loan. This loan agreement was terminated in the third quarter of fiscal year 2004.

(6) RESTRUCTURING COST

On January 4, 2002, we acquired Micro Networks Corporation (“MNC”) for $74.9 million, net of cash acquired. We acquired MNC to gain access to technology that we believe will enhance the performance of our silicon timing products, strengthening our position within existing strategic markets such as servers and storage systems. In connection with the acquisition of MNC, we put in place a restructuring plan for the purpose of making MNC more efficient by reducing the workforce, combining facilities and moving some manufacturing operations offshore, which is still in process. The purchase price includes $5.6 million in purchase accounting liabilities and write-down of fixed assets.

Table of Contents

From the date of the acquisition until the end of fiscal 2004, one plant in Bloomfield, CT was shut down and the fixed assets associated were disposed of. Sixty-four manufacturing personnel, both line and management, were laid off. In addition we planned to move the assembly process to offshore plants. During fiscal year 2004, goodwill was adjusted due to the reversal of a portion of the restructuring reserve. As of January 1, 2005 the restructuring reserve has been fully utilized.

The following table summarizes the activity of the restructuring reserve since inception:

(7) CAPITAL STOCK

In September 2001, we announced a share repurchase program, which authorized the purchase, from time to time, of 2.0 million shares of our common stock on the open market. In October 2002, we announced that our Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of shares to be repurchased under this repurchase program to 3.0 million. In October 2004, our Board of Directors approved an additional increase in the number of shares to be repurchased under the repurchase program by 2.0 million shares for a total of 5.0 million shares authorized for repurchase. As of January 1, 2005, we had repurchased 2.8 million shares for $60.4 million. There are 2.2 million shares available for repurchase.

As of January 1, 2005, additional paid in capital increased $5.6 million from the July 3, 2004 balance as the result of the exercise of stock options, the tax benefit relating to the exercises of non-qualified stock options, the purchase of our stock by employees in our stock purchase plan, and restricted stock grants.

On August 5, 2004 we issued restricted stock to certain employees. The issuance of this restricted stock resulted in deferred compensation of $0.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The deferred compensation is amortized over four years. The amortization of deferred compensation is $0.1 million through the second quarter of fiscal 2005.

(8) INDUSTRY AND SEGMENT INFORMATION

Factors used in determining the reportable business segments include the nature of operating activities, existence of separate senior management teams and the type of information presented to the company’s chief operating decision maker to evaluate all results of operations.

We operate and track our results in one operating segment. We design, develop and sell silicon timing devices for

10

Table of Contents

various electronics applications. The nature of our products and operating activities, as well as selling methods, is consistent among all of our products. We have one senior management team and the information is presented to the company’s chief operating decision maker to evaluate all results as one operating segment. All of our products are similar because they are sold for the purpose of sequencing and synchronizing electronic operations. Over 90% of the products are integrated circuits. Less than 10% of the products are based on surface acoustic wave technology.

(9) NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excluding contingently issuable or returnable shares that contingently convert into common stock upon certain events. Diluted net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and diluted potential common shares outstanding. For the three months ended January 1, 2005 and December 27, 2003, there were 1.3 million and 0.2 million options outstanding, respectively, that are excluded from the diluted net income per share calculation because their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect on EPS. For the six months ended January 1, 2005 and December 27, 2003, there were 1.3 million and 0.1 million options outstanding, respectively, that are excluded from the diluted net income per share calculation because their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect on EPS

The following table sets forth the computation of net income (numerator) and shares (denominator) for earnings per share:

11

Table of Contents

(10) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Total comprehensive income represents net income plus the results of certain equity changes not reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The components of total comprehensive income are shown below.

(11) INCOME TAX

Our effective income tax rate was 13.6% for the first six months of fiscal year 2005 as compared to 15.8% in the prior year period. The effective tax rate for fiscal years 2005 and 2004 reflects the tax-exempt status of our Singapore operation, which has been given pioneer status, or exemption of taxes on non-passive income, for five years as stated in our agreement with the Economic Development Board of Singapore. The five-year period ends December 31, 2007. The pioneer status is contingent upon ICS meeting certain investment criteria in fixed assets, personnel, and technology. We do not currently calculate deferred taxes on our investment in our Singapore operations, as all undistributed earnings are permanently reinvested back into the Singapore facility. If we were to record deferred taxes on our investment, the amount would be a liability of approximately $77.6 million as of January 1, 2005.

Our projected effective income tax rate for fiscal 2005 does not take into account a new election that is available under the U.S. income tax rules regarding the allocation between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions tax deductions attributable to employee stock option compensation. If we take advantage of this election, it could detrimentally affect our effective income tax rate. We have not yet determined the impact that the election would have on us.

The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, enacted on October 22, 2004, provides for a special one-time tax deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to a U.S. taxpayer, provided certain criteria are met. At this time we are still evaluating the effect this act will have on our income tax provision. We expect to complete our evaluation in our fiscal year 2006.

(12) CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, various inquiries, potential claims and charges and litigation (collectively “claims”) are made, asserted or commenced by or against us, principally arising from or related to contractual relations and possible patent infringement. We believe that any such claims currently pending, individually and in aggregate, have been adequately reserved and will not have any material adverse effect in terms of liquidity and in terms of the financial statements as a whole, although no assurance can be made in this regard.

We indemnify certain customers for fees and damages and costs awarded against them in certain circumstances in which our products are alleged to infringe third party intellectual property rights, including patents, registered trademarks, or copyrights. To date, we have not paid or been required to defend any indemnification claims, and accordingly, we have not accrued any amounts for our indemnification obligations. However, there can be no assurances that we will not have any future financial exposure under those indemnification obligations.

(13) CUSTOMERS

In fiscal year 2001, we entered into an Investment and Stock Trade Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Maxtek Technology Co. Ltd. (“Maxtek”), an international stocking representative in Taiwan and China. We invested in approximately 10% of Maxtek, or 4.0 million shares, at $4.0 million. The Agreement states that if Maxtek fails to successfully complete a public offering by December 5, 2005, we, at our sole option, have the right to demand immediate repurchase of all 4.0 million shares, at the original purchase price plus accrued annual interest (commercial rate set by the Central Bank of China) during the said period.

From December 2002 through August 2003 we sold 3.0 million shares or 75% of our ownership of Maxtek for a total gain of $0.9 million during this period. During the first quarter of fiscal 2004 and in the second quarter of 2005, Maxtek declared stock dividends. As a result of these dividends, our ownership is 1.3 million shares or approximately 2.5% of Maxtek.

Maxtek, our international stocking representative for our PC business in Taiwan and China, represented approximately 24% of our sales for the first six months of fiscal year 2005, and 22% in the prior year period. Additionally, sales to Lacewood International Corp, representing business in Hong Kong and China, and Magic Island International representing business in Korea, entities that are commonly controlled by the owners’ of Maxtek, were approximately 10% and 7% of our sales for the first six months of fiscal year 2005, respectively, and 17% for Lacewood in the prior year period.

Executive Summary

We design, develop and market silicon timing devices that emit timing signals used to sequence and synchronize electronic operations to ensure that information is interpreted at the right time and speed. Our silicon timing devices are used in computing systems, such as PCs, workstations, disk drives and printers, as well as in a wide range of digital consumer products, such as digital set-top boxes, HDTVs, games consoles, digital audio and imaging products and video game consoles. Increasingly, our silicon timing devices are also being used in products within the communications infrastructure industry, including Internet backbone, access and networking equipment, such as optical switches, routers, cable and DSL modems, servers and storage area networks. All digital devices require a timing signal and those with any degree of complexity require silicon timing devices to time and synchronize their various operations. Additionally, we now offer surface acoustic wave (“SAW”) technology to develop high performance products for optical networking and wireless infrastructure markets.

We market our products through a direct sales force that manages a worldwide network of independent sales representatives, international stocking representatives and distributors. We direct our sales efforts through offices in Norristown, PA, San Jose, CA, Worcester, MA, Taipei, Taiwan, Tokyo, Japan, Seoul, Korea and throughout Europe.

We qualify and utilize third party suppliers for the manufacture of silicon wafers. Most of our wafers currently are manufactured by outside suppliers, two of which supply the substantial majority of our wafers. The manufactured wafers are packaged primarily at three assemblers. We typically agree upon production schedules with our suppliers based on order backlog and demand forecasts for the approaching three-month period.

In addition we have production facilities in Worcester, MA and Auburn, NY. Worcester is our SAW wafer fabrication facility with sub-micron capabilities. Our Auburn facility houses the personnel for testing and assembly for the majority of our military and defense products. Low volume assembly is performed in-house while high volume is subcontracted out to offshore manufacturers.

We have our own test and drop-ship facility in Singapore’s Kolam Ayer Industrial Park to achieve faster delivery of our products to customers throughout the world. The Singapore facility handles wafer probe and final testing for various integrated circuits used in personal computers, data storage devices and other peripheral applications.

Prices for our products are predominantly a function of their position in the product life cycle, design complexity, competitive environment, the price of alternative solutions such as crystal oscillators and overall market demand. We recognize revenue upon transfer of title, and substantially all of our sales are made on the basis of purchase orders rather than long-term agreements.

During the first quarter we acquired assets and formed the Video Business Unit. This purchase gives us the capability to develop a family of high performance mixed signal products for the high definition and digital video/imaging market.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the percentage relationship to revenue of certain cost, expense and income items. The table and the subsequent discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto.

SECOND QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2005 AS COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2004

Revenue. Revenue was $60.6 million for the second quarter ended January 1, 2005, a decrease of $8.9 million from the prior year quarter. Demand in our communication end markets declined during the second half of calendar 2004 due to weak market conditions resulting in revenue decline of $4.3 million year over year. Our military revenue, which is included in “Other” end market listed below, also declined as some of the older programs have slowed. Our average selling price for our products decreased 1.7%, and the volume also decreased by 11.4% compared to prior year quarter.

The following is a summary of revenue percentages by end market:

Foreign revenue, which includes shipments of products to foreign companies as well as offshore subsidiaries of US multinational companies, was 74.0% of total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2005 as compared to 78.0% of total revenue in the prior year quarter. Our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, which minimizes foreign currency risk.

Gross Margin. Gross margin represents net revenue less cost of sales. Cost of sales includes the cost of purchasing the finished silicon wafers manufactured by independent foundries, costs associated with assembly, packaging, testing, quality assurance, product yields and the cost of personnel and equipment associated with manufacturing support. Cost of sales was $25.3 million for the quarter ended January 1, 2005, a decrease of $2.8 million from the prior year quarter,

15

Table of Contents

due to a decrease in units shipped as a result of the decline in the semiconductor industry. Cost of sales as a percentage of total revenue was 41.7% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2005 and 40.4% the prior year quarter. This translates to gross margin as a percentage of total revenue of 58.3% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2005 and 59.6% in the prior year quarter.

Research and Development Expense. Research and development (“R&D”) expense was $9.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2005, a decrease of $0.6 million from the prior year quarter. We continue to invest in R&D through the hiring of additional personnel which resulted in an increase in compensation expense of $0.6 million. However, this increase is offset by a decrease in variable compensation expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 of $1.0 million and other controllable expenses of $0.2 million. As a percentage of revenue, R&D increased to 15.5% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2005 as compared to 14.4% in the prior year period.

R&D costs consist primarily of the salaries and related expenses of engineering employees engaged in research, design and development activities, costs related to design tools, supplies and services and facilities’ expenses. The level of research and development expenditures as a percentage of net revenues will vary from period to period, depending, in part, on the level of net revenues and, in part, on our success in recruiting the technical personnel needed for our new product introductions and process development. We continuously attempt to control expense levels in all areas including research and development. However, we continue to make substantial investments in research and development to enhance our product offerings, which in turn are critical to our future growth.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) was $9.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2005, an increase of $0.4 million from the prior year quarter. Selling expense increased $1.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2005 as compared to the prior year period, which is attributable to an increase in commission expense due to a change in our commission rate structure. This increase was offset by a decrease in G&A of $0.6 million related to a decrease in bad debt expense and variable compensation and a decrease in deferred compensation of $0.2 million. As a percentage of total revenue, SG&A expenses increased to 15.7% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2005 as compared to 13.1% in the prior year quarter. SG&A expenses consist mainly of salaries and related expenses, sales commissions and professional and legal fees.

Included in SG&A in fiscal 2005 is the amortization of deferred compensation for restricted stock issued in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Included in SG&A in fiscal 2004 is the amortization of deferred compensation for options issued in fiscal 2002 below fair market value. The amortization of deferred compensation is $60,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 as compared to $0.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2004.

Amortization of Intangibles. Amortization of intangibles was $1.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2005 as compared to $0.6 million in the prior year quarter. Intangibles consist of assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of MNC and assets acquired for the Video business unit. The increase is due to the additional amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisition of assets for the Video business unit which occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.

Operating Income. In dollar terms, operating income was $15.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2005 compared to $21.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2004. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, operating income was 25.3% and 31.3% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2005 and the prior year quarter, respectively.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $15,000 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2005 and $0.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2004. This decrease is due to acceleration of financing fees in the second quarter of fiscal year 2004.

Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income was $0.9 million for the quarter ended January 1, 2005 and $0.5 million in the prior year quarter due to an increase in cash invested.

16

Table of Contents

Income Tax Expense. Our effective income tax rate was 13.6% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2005 as compared to 15.9% in the prior year period. The effective tax rate for fiscal years 2005 and 2004 reflects the tax-exempt status of our Singapore operation, which has been given pioneer status, or exemption of taxes on non-passive income, for five years as stated in our agreement with the Economic Development Board of Singapore. The five-year period ends December 31, 2007. We do not currently calculate deferred taxes on our investment in our Singapore operations, as all undistributed earnings are permanently reinvested back into the Singapore facility. If we were to record deferred taxes on our investment, the amount would be a $77.6 million liability as of January 1, 2005.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 1, 2005 AS COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 27, 2003

Revenue. Revenue was $126.7 million for the first half of fiscal year 2005, a decrease of $8.1 million from the corresponding prior year period. The decrease is attributable to a decline in volume and average selling price in sales of our PC end markets, due to inventory in the channel for the Christmas season. Our military revenue also declined as some of the older programs have slowed. Our average selling price for our products decreased 2.2% and the volume decreased 3.9%.

The following is a summary of revenue percentages by end market:

Foreign revenue, which includes shipments of products to foreign companies as well as offshore subsidiaries of US multinational companies, was 74.3% of total revenue for the first six months of fiscal year 2005 as compared to 76.4% of total revenue in the prior year period. Our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, which minimizes foreign currency risk.

Gross Margin. Gross margin represents net revenue less cost of sales. Cost of sales includes the cost of purchasing the finished silicon wafers manufactured by independent foundries, costs associated with assembly, packaging, testing, quality assurance, product yields and the cost of personnel and equipment associated with manufacturing support. Cost of sales was $52.0 million for the first half of fiscal year 2005, a decrease of $2.5 million from the prior year period because of lower unit shipments. Cost of sales as a percentage of total revenue was 41.1% for the first half of fiscal year 2005 as compared to 40.4% in the prior year period. This translates to gross margin of 58.9% for the first half of fiscal year 2005 as compared to 59.6% in the prior year period.

Research and Development Expense. R&D expense was $26.7 million for the first half of fiscal year 2005, an increase of $7.3 million from the prior year period. This increase is due to the amortization of $7.1 million for assets with a short useful life related to the purchase of assets for the Video business unit. Excluding this charge, R&D expense increased $0.2 million in the first half of fiscal year 2005 as compared to the prior year period. As a result of the hiring of additional personnel compensation expense increased $1.2 million but was offset by a decrease in variable compensation of $1.1 million and other controllable expenses of $0.1 million in the first half of fiscal year 2005. As a percentage of revenue, R&D increased to 21.0% in the first half of fiscal year 2005 as compared to 14.3% in the prior year period. Excluding the amortization of Video business unit assets, R&D increased to 15.5% as a percentage of revenue in the first half of fiscal 2005.

R&D costs consist primarily of the salaries and related expenses of engineering employees engaged in research, design and development activities, costs related to design tools, supplies and services and facilities expenses. The level of research and development expenditures as a percentage of net revenues will vary from period to period, depending, in part, on the level of net revenues and, in part, on our success in recruiting the technical personnel needed for our new product introductions and process development. We continuously attempt to control expense levels in all areas including research and development. However, we continue to make substantial investments in research and development to enhance our product offerings, which in turn are critical to our future growth.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general, administrative and other expense (“SG&A”) was $19.6 million for the first half of fiscal year 2005, an increase of $1.3 million from the prior year period. The increase is attributable to legal and consulting fees of $0.6 million related to the acquisition of assets for the Video business unit, an increase in commission expense of $1.1 million, and an increase in consulting fees related to our Sarbanes-Oxley compliance of $0.2 million, offset by a decrease in deferred compensation of $0.4 million and a decrease in other controllable expenses of $0.2 million. The increase in sales commission expense is due to a change in our commission rate structure. As a percentage of total revenue, SG&A expenses increased to 15.4% in the first half of fiscal year 2005 as compared to 13.6% in the prior year period. The percentage increase is attributable to the decrease in revenue from the prior year period. SG&A expenses consist mainly of salaries and related expenses, sales commissions and professional and legal fees.

Included in SG&A in fiscal 2005 is the amortization of deferred compensation for restricted stock issued in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Included in SG&A in fiscal 2004 is the amortization of deferred compensation for options issued in fiscal 2002 below fair market value. The amortization of deferred compensation is $0.1 million in the first half of fiscal 2005 as compared to $0.5 million in the fiscal 2004 period.

Amortization of Intangibles. Amortization of intangibles was $2.0 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2005 as compared to $1.2 million in the prior year corresponding period. Intangibles consist of assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of MNC and assets acquired for the Video business unit. The increase is due to the additional amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisition of assets for the Video business unit which occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.

Operating Income. In dollar terms, operating income was $26.4 million in the first half of fiscal year 2005 compared to $41.6 million in the prior year period. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, operating income was 20.8% and 30.8% for the first six months of fiscal year 2005 and the prior year period, respectively.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $30,000 in the first half of fiscal year 2005 and $0.2 million in the prior year period. This decrease is due to acceleration of financing fees in the first half of fiscal year 2004.

Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income was $1.6 million for the first half of fiscal year 2005 and $1.3 million in the prior year period. Included in other income for the first six months of fiscal 2004 is a gain of $0.3 million as a result of the sale of 25% of our investment in Maxtek Technology Co. Ltd.

Income Tax Expense. Our effective income tax rate was 13.6% for the first half of fiscal year 2005 as compared to 15.8% in the prior year period. The effective tax rate for fiscal years 2005 and 2004 reflects the tax-exempt status of our Singapore operation, which has been given pioneer status, or exemption of taxes on non-passive income, for five years as stated in our agreement with the Economic Development Board of Singapore. The five-year period ends December 31, 2007. The increase in overall tax rate was directly attributable to increased income in our USA locations relative to our total operations. We do not currently calculate deferred taxes on our investment in our Singapore operations, as all undistributed earnings are permanently reinvested back into the Singapore facility. If we were to record deferred taxes on our investment, the amount would be a $77.6 million liability as of January 1, 2005.

INDUSTRY FACTORS

Our strategy has been to develop new products and introduce them ahead of the competition in order to have them selected for design into products of leading OEMs. Our newer components, which include advanced motherboard FTG components, data communication components and memory components, are examples of this strategy. However, there can be no assurance that we will continue to be successful in these efforts or that further competitive pressures would not have a material impact on revenue growth or profitability.

We include customer-released orders in our backlog, which may generally be canceled with 45 days advance notice without significant penalty to the customers. Accordingly, we believe that our backlog, at any time, should not be used as a measure of future revenues.

The semiconductor and personal computer industry, in which we participate, is generally characterized by rapid technological change, intense competitive pressure, and, as a result, products price erosion. Our operating results can be impacted significantly by the introduction of new products, new manufacturing technologies, rapid changes in the demand for products, decreases in the average selling price over the life of a product and our dependence on third-party wafer suppliers. Our operating results are subject to quarterly fluctuations as a result of a number of factors, including competitive pressures on selling prices, availability of wafer supply, fluctuation in yields, changes in the mix of products sold, the timing and success of new product introductions and the scheduling of orders by customers. We believe that our future quarterly operating results may also fluctuate as a result of Company-specific factors, including pricing pressures on our more mature FTG components, continuing demand for our Application Specific Standard Products, acceptance of our newly introduced components and market acceptance of our customers’ products. Due to the effect of these factors on future operations, past performance may be a limited indicator in assessing potential future performance.

At January 1, 2005, our principal sources of liquidity included cash and marketable securities of $192.8 million as compared to the July 3, 2004 balance of $195.6 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $29.0 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2005, as compared to $45.5 million in the prior year period. This decrease is attributable to expenses related to the acquisition of assets for the Video business unit. Our days sales outstanding increased from 58 days at July 3, 2004 to 72 days at January 1, 2005 as a result of back ended shipments during the quarter ending January 1, 2005. Inventory turns decreased from 5.1 times at July 3, 2004 to 4.1 times at January 1, 2005. Inventory is turning slower as demand for our products decreased in the first six months of fiscal year 2005.

Purchases for property and equipment were $5.3 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2005 as the company invested in production capacity and research and development versus $4.4 million in the prior year period.

Purchases of marketable securities were $70.4 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2005 compared to $124.6 million in the prior year period. During this period, we invested more funds in the three to six month ranges.

In fiscal year 2001, we entered into an Investment and Stock Trade Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Maxtek, an international stocking representative in Taiwan and China. We invested in approximately 10% of Maxtek, or 4.0 million shares, at $4.0 million. The Agreement states that if Maxtek fails to successfully complete a public offering by December 5, 2005, we, at our sole option, have the right to demand immediate repurchase of all 4.0 million shares, at the original purchase price plus accrued annual interest (commercial rate set by the Central Bank of China) during the said period.

From December 2002 through August 2003 we sold 3.0 million shares or 75% of our ownership of Maxtek for a total gain of $0.9 million during this period. During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, Maxtek declared a stock dividend. As a result of this dividend, our ownership is 1.3 million shares or approximately 2.5% of Maxtek.

Maxtek, our international stocking representative for our PC business in Taiwan and China, represented approximately 24% of our sales for the first six months of fiscal year 2005, and 22% in the prior year period. Additionally, sales to Lacewood International Corp, representing business in Hong Kong and China, and Magic Island International representing business in Korea, entities that are commonly controlled by the owners’ of Maxtek, were approximately 10% and 7% of our sales for the first six months of fiscal year 2005, respectively, and 17% for Lacewood in the prior year period.

During the first six months of fiscal 2005, we received $2.8 million from the exercise of stock options.

In September 2001, we announced a stock repurchase program, which authorized the purchase, from time to time, of 2.0 million shares of our common stock on the market. In October 2002, we announced that our Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of shares to be repurchased under this repurchase program to 3.0 million. In October 2004, we announced that our Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of shares to be repurchases by an additional 2.0 million for a total of 5.0 million shares authorized for repurchase. As of January 1, 2005, we had repurchased 2.8 million shares for $60.4 million.

On January 4, 2002, we acquired MNC, net of cash, for $74.9 million. We believe that by acquiring MNC we now have access to technology that will broaden our offering of silicon timing products to strengthen our position within strategic markets such as servers, storage systems and communications. In connection with the acquisition of MNC, we put in place a restructuring plan for the purpose of making MNC more efficient by reducing the work force, combining facilities and moving some manufacturing operations offshore, which is still in process. The purchase price included $5.6 million in purchase accounting liabilities and write-down of fixed assets.

From the date of the acquisition until the end of fiscal 2004, one plant in Bloomfield, CT was shut down and the fixed assets associated were disposed of. Sixty-four manufacturing personnel, both line and management, were laid off. In addition we planned to move the assembly process to offshore plants.

The following table summarizes the activity of the restructuring reserve since inception:

During fiscal year 2004, goodwill was adjusted due to the reversal of a portion of the restructuring reserve. The results of MNC have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.

On March 1, 2004 we entered into a revolving credit loan agreement, which will terminate March 1, 2007. The revolving credit loan agreement allows us to draw down to a maximum balance of $20.0 million in increments of not less than $500,000. At our option, the unpaid balance shall bear interest at the available LIBOR Based Rate (as defined) or the Prime Based Rate (as defined). A commitment fee on the average daily-unused portion of the revolving credit loan balance will be due and payable on a quarterly basis. The commitment fee will be between .20% (.0020) and .25% (.0025) based on the funded debt to EBITDA ratio calculated the previous quarter. There was no outstanding balance on our revolving credit loan agreement as of January 1, 2005.

Our revolving credit loan agreement requires the maintenance of specified financial ratios, including a fixed charge coverage ratio, a funded debt to EBITDA ratio, a liquidity ratio, a minimum tangible net worth, and imposes financial limitations. In addition, the loan agreement restricts our ability to pay dividends to the holders of our common stock. At January 1, 2005, we were in compliance with the covenants.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our purchase obligations consist of purchase commitments with our manufacturers and are based on a six-month rolling forecast. The purchase commitments are utilized to ensure capacity at our various manufacturers.

The following summarizes our significant contractual obligations and commitments as of January 1, 2005 (in thousands):
