NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - OCTOBER 2, 2004

(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS)


1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying unaudited, condensed, consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended October 2, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004.
 
The condensed, consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2003 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.
 
The condensed, consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

INCOME TAXES
 
The Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a benefit for income taxes.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46). FIN 46 is the interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 Consolidated Financial Statements, which addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and effective for periods ending after March 15, 2004 for variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In October 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF 04-08, The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share, which requires the dilutive effect of contingently convertible debt instruments to be included in EPS. Accordingly, the shares issuable upon conversion of contingently convertible debt instruments are to be considered in the diluted earnings per share calculation, regardless of whether the contingent conditions for their conversion are satisfied, so long as they are dilutive. EITF 04-08 is effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2004 and is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s calculation of diluted earnings per share.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
 
As permitted by FAS 123, the Company has elected to follow the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock option plans. Under APB 25, no compensation expense is recognized at the time of option grant if the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock option is fixed and equals or exceeds the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
 
On July 23, 2004, the Company granted 403,204 restricted shares under the 1995 and 1997 Long-Term Incentive Share Award plans ("Plans"). On the date of the grant, the market price of the shares was $4.01. The value of the grant has been recorded as deferred compensation, a component of Stockholders’ Equity and is being amortized over the required one-year vest period. At October 2, 2004, 4,850 restricted shares have been forfeited under the conditions of the Plans.
 
The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per common share as if the Company had applied the fair value method to measure stock-based compensation, required under the disclosure provisions of FAS 123:

WARRANTY
 
The Company provides, by a current charge to income, an amount it estimates, by examining historical returns and other information it deems critical, will be needed to cover future warranty obligations for products sold during the year. The accrued liability for warranty costs is included in accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Warranty reserve movements in the nine months ended October 2, 2004 included $301 in actual charges and $363 in provisions resulting in the balance of $167 at October 2, 2004. Warranty reserve movements in the nine months ended September 27, 2003 were $234 in actual ch arges and $10 in provisions.
 
RECLASSIFICATIONS
 
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

2. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

On March 31, 2003, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of the WLAN power amplifier business of RF Solutions ("RFS"). The RFS acquisition was a strategic initiative that allows the Company to participate in the emerging and fast-growing WLAN market with a depth of experienced design personnel and cutting-edge products. The Company paid cash purchase consideration on March 31, 2003 of $2,800 and, pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, issued 747,280 shares effective March 31, 2004, valued at $4,648 after RFS achieved certain revenue milestones. In addition, the Company incurred $217 in acquisition-related costs.

On October 14, 2003, the Company acquired certain assets of a CDMA wireless handset power amplifier developer, formerly named Tavanza, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Celeritek. The Company paid cash consideration of $1,000 and incurred $255 in acquisition-related costs.

The acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The results of operations for RFS and Tavanza are included in the results of operations of the Company from the respective dates of purchase. There are no significant differences between the accounting policies of the Company and RFS or Tavanza.

The aggregate acquisition consideration of $8,920, after giving effect to the March 31, 2004 purchase consideration, was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their fair values as follows:
 
     Total  
 Fair value of tangible assets   $ 1,029  
 Fair value of liabilities assumed             (527 )
 In-process research and development         1,863  
 Process technology     210  
 Covenant-not-to-compete     175  
 Customer list     240  
 Goodwill     5,930  
 Total purchase price   $ 8,920  
        
The Company recorded a charge of $1,863 representing the fair value of certain acquired research and development projects relating to dual band, high gain and modules applications for Wireless LAN and certain passive-free power amplifier applications, in the case of Tavanza, that were determined to have not reached technological feasibility and to not have alternative future uses. The fair value of such projects was determined based on discounted net cash flows. These cash flows were based upon management’s estimates of future revenues and expected profitability of each technology. The rate used to discount these projected cash flows accounted for the time value of money, as well as the risks of realization of cash flows.
 
The following table reflects the changes in goodwill for the period from December 31, 2003 to October 2, 2004:
 
 Balance at December 31, 2003     $ 1,227  
 Additions, primarily related to RFS share issuance      4,703  
 Balance at October 2, 2004   $ 5,930  
 
The following unaudited pro-forma consolidated financial information reflects the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2003, as if the acquisitions of RFS and Tavanza had occurred on December 31, 2002 and after giving effect to purchase accounting adjustments. The charge for purchased in-process research and development is not included in the pro-forma results because it is non-recurring.

These pro-forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of what operating results would have been had the acquisitions actually taken place on December 31, 2002. In addition, these results are not intended to be a projection of future results and do not reflect any synergies that might be achieved from the combined operations.

* Any dilution arising from the Company's outstanding stock options or shares potentially issuable
upon conversion of the Convertible notes are not included as their effect is anti-dilutive.
 
On July 3, 2003, the Company announced a voluntary stock option exchange program for employees and officers. Directors of the Company were not eligible for the exchange program. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the offer, which expired on August 4, 2003, the Company accepted for cancellation options to purchase 1,673,931 shares of common stock having a weighted average exercise price of $19.49. On February 6, 2004, participating employees were issued 551,564 stock options, under this one for three-exchange program, for the cancelled options. The new options have an exercise price equal to $7.27, which represented the fair market value at the date of grant and will fully vest after one year.

6. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES

During the first quarter of 2003, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $625 pertaining to severance and related benefits of workforce reductions undertaken in the quarter. The workforce reductions eliminated approximately 19 operations and administrative positions.

For the nine months ended October 2, 2004, the change of $992 in accrued restructuring costs principally represents cash payments of obligations under property leases.

7. LONG-TERM DEBT AND GAIN ON REPURCHASE OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES

On September 24, 2004, the Company issued $38,000 aggregate principal amount of 5% Convertible Senior Notes ("2009 Notes") due October 15, 2009. The 2009 Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time prior to their maturity, at an initial conversion rate, subject to adjustment, of 200 shares for each $1,000 principal amount, which is equivalent to a conversion price of $5.00 per share. Pursuant to the indenture, dated as of September 24, 2004, between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Association, as trustee, in the event of a "fundamental change" on or prior to July 15, 2009, the Company will pay a make whole premium upon the repurchase or conversion of the 2009 Notes. Subject to certain exceptions, the make whole premium will be 1% of the principal amount of the 2009 Notes, plus an additional premium based on the date such "fundamental change" becomes effective and the price paid per share of the Company’s common stock in the transaction constituting the "fundamental change". Interest on the 2009 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year.

On November 27, 2001, the Company issued $100,000 aggregate principal amount of 5% Convertible Senior Notes ("2006 Notes") due November 15, 2006. The outstanding 2006 Notes are convertible into shares of common stock at any time prior to their maturity or redemption by the Company. The 2006 Notes are convertible into shares of common stock at a rate of 47.619 shares for each $1,000 principal amount (convertible at a price of $21.00 per share), subject to adjustment. Interest on the 2006 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year.

As of October 2, 2004, $46,700 aggregate principal amount of the 2006 Notes remain outstanding. During the third quarter of 2002, the Company repurchased and retired $33,300 aggregate principal amount of the 2006 Notes. In addition, in the third quarter of 2004 and concurrent with the issuance of the 2009 Notes, the Company repurchased and retired $20,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2006 Notes for $19,758 in cash, inclusive of accrued interest of $358. The Company recognized a gain of $327 in the third quarter of 2004 in connection with this repurchase, after adjusting for the write-off of a proportionate share of unamortized offering costs.

8. OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

Other income (expense) for the nine months ended October 2, 2004 includes income from a $368 gain on the sale of securities and a $490 settlement received in connection with a claim against a former supplier, partially offset by a charge of $750 relating to the settlement of a contractual claim.

NET SALES. Net sales increased 41.1% during the third quarter of 2004 to $25.1 million from $17.8 million in the third quarter of 2003. For the nine months ended October 2, 2004, net sales were $68.9 million, a 32.9% increase from net sales of $51.9 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2003.
 
Sales of integrated circuits for Wireless applications increased 26.5% during the third quarter of 2004 to $12.0 million from $9.5 million in the third quarter of 2003. For the nine months ended October 2, 2004, net sales of integrated circuits for Wireless applications increased 24.9% to $33.8 million from $27.1 million in the nine-month period ended September 27, 2003. The increase in sales of integrated circuits for Wireless applications during the three and nine months ended October 2, 2004 was primarily due to increased customer demand for both our GSM and CDMA products.

Sales of integrated circuits for Broadband applications increased 57.9% during the third quarter of 2004 to $13.1 million from $8.3 million in the third quarter of 2003. For the nine months ended October 2, 2004, net sales of integrated circuits for Broadband applications increased 41.6% to $35.1 million from $24.8 million in the nine-month period ended September 27, 2003. The increase in sales in the three and nine month periods ended October 2, 2004 was primarily due to increased customer demand for both our Wireless LAN and cable infrastructure products. For the nine month period ended October 2, 2004, sales further reflect an increase in Wireless LAN sales following the acquisition of RF Solutions’ ("RFS") power amplifier business on March 31, 2003.

Geographically, sales to the Asia region during the three and nine months ended October 2, 2004 increased 51.0% and 90.4%, respectively, primarily due to the Company's expanded product distribution of WLAN and Wireless power amplifier module products.

Generally, selling prices for same product sales were lower during the third quarter of 2004 compared to the third quarter of 2003.

GROSS MARGIN. Gross margin during the third quarter of 2004 increased to 20.9% from 1.2% in the third quarter of 2003. For the nine months ended October 2, 2004, gross margin increased to 15.6% from 1.9% for the nine months ended September 27, 2003. The increase in gross margin in the three and nine month periods ended October 2, 2004 was primarily due to the increase in revenues, as well as higher production levels and the consequent absorption of fixed costs over higher unit volume.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Company sponsored research and development expense decreased 1.8% during the third quarter of 2004 to $7.9 million from $8.0 million during the third quarter of 2003. The decrease in expense in the third quarter of 2004 was due to reduced compensation cost following certain operating expense reduction initiatives. Company sponsored research and development expense for the nine months ended October 2, 2004 increased 9.3% to $25.6 million from $23.5 during the nine-month period ended September 27, 2003. The increase in the nine month period ended October 2, 2004 was primarily attributable to increased headcount and expense associated with the RFS and Tavanza acquisitions not fully included in 2003, as well as certain one-time compensation costs associated with operating expense reduction initiatives undertaken in 2004.

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling and administrative expenses increased 14.3% during the third quarter of 2004 to $5.5 million from $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2003. Selling and administrative expenses increased 25.6% during the nine-month period ended October 2, 2004 to $17.4 million from $13.8 million in the nine-month period ended September 27, 2003. The increases in selling and administrative expenses in the three and nine months ended October 2, 2004 are primarily due to increased sales headcount and sales-related costs associated with our sales expansion efforts, including new application centers in Taiwan and Korea. Certain legal fees in connection with the settlement of a contractual claim in the second qu arter of 2004 further impact the nine months’ comparison.

RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES. During the first quarter of 2003, we recorded restructuring charges of $0.6 million pertaining to severance and related benefits of workforce reductions undertaken in that quarter. The workforce reductions eliminated approximately 19 positions in operations and administration.

PURCHASED IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. The Company expensed purchased in-process research and development costs of $1.7 million as a result of the RFS acquisition on March 31, 2003. The charge represents the fair value of certain acquired research and development projects that were determined to have not reached technological feasibility and to not have alternative future uses.

INTEREST INCOME. Interest income decreased 36.7% to $0.5 million during the third quarter of 2004 from $0.7 million during the third quarter of 2003. For the nine months ended October 2, 2004, interest income decreased 36.1% to $1.7 million from $2.6 million in the nine-month period ended September 27, 2003. The decreases were primarily due to lower invested funds and were compounded by lower interest rates.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense was largely flat at $1.0 million and $0.9 million during the three months of both 2004 and 2003, respectively. Interest expense was flat at $2.8 million during the nine month periods of both 2004 and 2003. The interest primarily related to the outstanding balance of our 5% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2006 ("2006 Notes"), since the Convertible Senior Notes due in 2009 ("2009 Notes") were issued on September 24, 2004.

GAIN ON REPURCHASE OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES. During the third quarter of 2004 and concurrent with the issuance of the 2009 Notes, we repurchased and retired $20.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2006 Notes for $19.8 million in cash, inclusive of accrued interest of $0.4 million. We recognized a gain on the repurchase of $0.3 million after adjusting the write-off of a proportionate share of unamortized offering costs.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Other income (expense) for the nine months ended October 2, 2004 includes income from a $0.4 million gain on the sale of securities and a $0.5 million settlement received in connection with a claim against a former supplier, partially offset by a charge of $0.8 million relating to the settlement of a contractual claim.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of October 2, 2004, we had $24.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and $83.5 million in marketable securities. We had $84.7 million of interest-bearing debt outstanding as of October 2, 2004. These figures reflect our private offering of $38.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2009 Notes and concurrent repurchase of $20.0 million of 2006 Notes, on September 24, 2004.
 
Operating activities used $26.5 million in cash during the nine-month period ended October 2, 2004. Investing activities, which principally consisted of net sales of marketable securities of $17.5 million, partially offset by purchases of equipment of $2.9 million, provided $14.6 million of cash during the nine-month period ended October 2, 2004. Cash provided by financing activities primarily consisted of net proceeds of $16.5 million from our issuance of the 2009 Notes, net of offering costs and further reduced by our repurchase of $20.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2006 Notes. Financing activities also provided $1.3 million of cash from share issuances for employee stock option exercises during the nine months ended October 2, 2004.

As of October 2, 2004, we had purchase commitments of approximately $0.8 million for equipment, furniture and leasehold improvements.

We believe that our existing sources of capital, including our existing cash and marketable securities will be adequate to satisfy operational needs and anticipated capital needs for the next twelve months and beyond. Our anticipated capital needs may include acquisitions of complimentary businesses or technologies, or investments in other companies or repurchases of our outstanding debt or equity. However, we may elect to finance all or part of our future capital requirements through additional equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that such additional financing would be available on satisfactory terms.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46). FIN 46 is the interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 Consolidated Financial Statements, which addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and effective for fiscal years ending after March 15, 2004 for variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In October 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF 04-08, The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share, which requires the dilutive effect of contingently convertible debt instruments to be included in EPS. Accordingly, the shares issuable upon conversion of contingently convertible debt instruments are to be considered in the diluted earnings per share calculation, regardless of whether the contingent conditions for their conversion are satisfied, so long as they are dilutive. EITF 04-08 is effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2004 and is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s calculation of diluted earnings per share.
 
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains projections and other forward-looking statements (as that term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). These projections and forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance and can generally be identified as such because the context of the statement will include words such as "believe", "anticipate", "expect", or words of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our future plans, objectives, estimates or goals are forward-looking statements. No assurances can be given, however, that these events will occur or that these projections will be achieved and actual results and developments could differ materially from those projected as a result of certain factors. I mportant factors that could cause actual results and developments to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such projections and forward-looking statements include those factors detailed from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, and those discussed elsewhere herein.
 
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's market risk has not changed significantly for the risks disclosed in Item 7A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of certain members of the Company’s management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company completed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act")). Based on this evaluation, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of October 2, 2004.

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
