Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the information furnished in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to fairly state the results for these interim periods and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 1, 2003 and related notes. The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending October 30, 2004 or any future period.

The Company has a 52-53 week fiscal year that ends on the Saturday closest to the last day in October. Fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003 are 52-week fiscal years.

Note 2 – Stock-Based Compensation

As permitted by FAS 148 and FAS 123, the Company applies the accounting provisions of Accounting Principle Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, with regard to the measurement of compensation cost for options granted under the Company’s equity compensation plans, consisting of the 2001 Broad-Based Stock Option Plan, the 1998 Stock Option Plan, the Restated 1994 Director Option Plan, the Restated 1988 Stock Option Plan, the 1992 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the 1998 International Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Had expense been recognized using the fair value method described in FAS 123, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, the Company would have reported the following results of operations:

Note 3 – Comprehensive Income

Components of comprehensive income include net income and certain transactions that have generally been reported in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity and consisted of the following:

8

The components of accumulated other comprehensive income at July 31, 2004 and November 1, 2003 consisted of the following:

Note 4 – Short-term investments

A portion of the Company’s short-term investments have contractual maturities of twelve months or less at time of acquisition. Because of the short term to maturity, and hence relative price insensitivity to changes in market interest rates, amortized cost approximates fair value for all of these securities. The remainder of the Company’s short-term investments have contractual maturities of greater than twelve months and are marked-to-market at the end of each quarter. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, on these securities, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Note 5 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Agreements

The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to offset certain operational and balance sheet exposures from the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Such exposures result from the portion of the Company’s operations, assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the Japanese Yen, British Pounds Sterling and the Euro. These foreign exchange contracts are entered into to support product sales, purchases and financing transactions made in the normal course of business, and accordingly, are not speculative in nature.

9

The Company records all derivative financial instruments in the consolidated financial statements at fair value regardless of the purpose or intent for holding the instrument. Changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments are either recognized periodically in earnings or in stockholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income (OCI) depending on whether the derivative financial instrument qualifies for hedge accounting as defined by FAS 133. Changes in fair values of derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting are reported in earnings as they occur.

Foreign Exchange Exposure Management — The Company has significant international sales and purchase transactions in foreign currencies and has a policy of hedging forecasted and actual foreign currency risk with forward foreign exchange contracts. The Company’s forward foreign exchange contracts are denominated in Japanese Yen, British Pounds Sterling and the Euro and are for periods consistent with the terms of the underlying transactions, generally one year or less. Derivative instruments are employed to eliminate or minimize certain foreign currency exposures that can be confidently identified and quantified. In accordance with FAS 133, hedges related to anticipated transactions are designated and documented at the inception of the respective hedges as cash flow hedges and are evaluated for effectiveness monthly. As the terms of the contract and the underlying transaction are matched at inception, forward contract effectiveness is calculated by comparing the change in fair value of the contract to the change in the forward value of the anticipated transaction, with the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument reported as a component of OCI in stockholders’ equity and reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any residual change in fair value of the instruments, or ineffectiveness, is recognized immediately in other income/expense. No ineffectiveness was recognized during the first nine months of fiscal 2004 or fiscal 2003.

Additionally, the Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts that economically hedge the gains and losses generated by the remeasurement of certain recorded assets and liabilities in a non-functional currency. Changes in the fair value of these undesignated hedges are recognized in other expense immediately as an offset to the changes in the fair value of the asset or liability being hedged.

Derivative financial instruments involve, to a varying degree, elements of market and credit risk not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The market risk associated with these instruments resulting from currency exchange rate or interest rate movements is expected to offset the market risk of the underlying transactions, assets and liabilities being hedged. The counterparties to the agreements relating to the Company’s foreign exchange and interest rate instruments consist of a number of major international financial institutions with high credit ratings. The Company does not believe that there is significant risk of nonperformance by these counterparties because the Company continually monitors the credit ratings of such counterparties, and limits the financial exposure with any one financial institution. While the contract or notional amounts of derivative financial instruments provide one measure of the volume of these transactions, they do not represent the amount of the Company’s exposure to credit risk. The amounts potentially subject to credit risk (arising from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts) are generally limited to the amounts, if any, by which the counterparties’ obligations under the contracts exceed the obligations of the Company to the counterparties.

The following table summarizes activity in other comprehensive income related to derivatives classified as cash flow hedges held by the Company during the period from November 2, 2003 through July 31, 2004:

     All of the accumulated loss will be reclassified into earnings over the next twelve months.

Note 6 – Special Charges

A summary of the activity in accrued restructuring is as follows:

     Fiscal 2003 Charges

During the third quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company recorded a special charge of $0.3 million. The charge included a $2.0 million write-down of equipment to fair value due to a decision to outsource the assembly of products in plastic packages, which had been done internally at the Company’s facility in the Philippines. This amount was the net book value of the assets used in plastic assembly, net of proceeds received from the sale in the third quarter of a portion of the assets. The Company also decided to abandon efforts to develop a particular expertise in optical communications that resulted in the write-down of $2.7 million of equipment to its fair value. During the quarter ended August 2, 2003, the Company determined that costs remaining to be paid for certain restructuring charges would be less than the amount originally recorded. Accordingly, the Company recorded a change in estimate reducing the restructuring accruals by $4.4 million related to prior restructuring charges as more fully described below.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company recorded a special charge of $9.2 million as a result of a decision to close a small manufacturing facility in Belfast, Northern Ireland that supplied foundry substrate services for optical applications. The charge included $2.0 million of severance and fringe benefit costs for approximately 57 manufacturing employees and 14 engineering and administrative employees. The charge also included $6 million related to the write-down of property, plant and equipment to its fair value and $1.2 million related to the write-down of various other assets to their fair values. The closure was completed during the second quarter of fiscal 2004.

     Fiscal 2002 Charges

During the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company recorded special charges of approximately $27.2 million. The second quarter charge was comprised of $25.7 million related to the planned transfer of production from the Company’s three older four-inch wafer fabrication facilities to the Company’s three six-inch and one eight-inch wafer fabrication facilities, and $3 million primarily related to the impairment of an investment, which was partially offset by an adjustment of $1.5 million related to equipment cancelation fees recorded in fiscal year 2001. The investment impairment, which was related to an equity investment in a private company, was due to the Company’s decision to abandon the product strategy for which the investment was made. Included in the $25.7 million special charge were severance and fringe benefit costs of $15.3 million for 509 manufacturing employees in the United States and Ireland, $2.3 million related to the write-down of equipment to be abandoned and $8.1 million of other charges, primarily related to lease termination and cleanup costs. The write-down of equipment was principally due to a decision to discontinue various product development strategies. In the third quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company reversed $2.9 million of the accrual primarily due to lower than previously expected severance costs. The lower severance costs were the result of a reduction in the number of separated employees and, to a lesser extent, the average tenure

11

of separated employees differing from estimates. The 509 employees projected to be terminated at the time of the original charge was adjusted down to 439 and, as of May 1, 2004, all of the employees had been terminated. The reduction in the number of employees to be terminated was due to the transfer of employees, which primarily occurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2003, to positions in the Company’s six-inch wafer fabrication facilities where the Company experienced an unexpected increase in demand for its products. All the closure and consolidation actions planned related to the Company’s four-inch wafer fabrication facilities are now complete. The equipment disposition and cleanup activity is underway at each site and the related cleanup costs, which were included in the special charge, will be expended as this activity is completed. Since severance costs are paid as income continuance at some locations, these amounts will be expended over time subsequent to the final termination of employment.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company recorded special charges of approximately $12.8 million. The charges included severance and fringe benefit costs of $3.7 million related to cost reduction actions taken in several product groups and, to a lesser extent, in manufacturing, $3.8 million related to the impairment of an investment, $3.4 million related to the impairment of goodwill associated with the closing of an Austrian design center acquired in fiscal 2001 and $1.9 million primarily related to the abandonment of equipment and lease cancelation fees. The investment impairment, which was related to an equity investment in a private company, was due to the Company’s decision to abandon the product strategy for which the investment was made. The severance and fringe benefit costs were for approximately 70 engineering employees in the United States, Europe and Canada, and approximately 30 manufacturing employees in the United States, all of whom had been terminated as of May 1, 2004.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company recorded special charges of approximately $8.4 million. The charges included severance and fringe benefit costs of $2.5 million related to cost reduction actions taken in the sales group, several product groups and the Company’s manufacturing test operations for approximately 65 employees in the United States and Europe, all of whom had been terminated as of November 1, 2003. The charges also included $2.1 million related to the impairment of investments, $1.8 million primarily related to the abandonment of equipment and lease cancelation fees and a change in estimate of $2.0 million for additional estimated cleanup costs originally recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2002. The investment impairment charges were related to the decline in fair value of a publicly traded equity investment to less than its cost basis that was determined to be other-than-temporary, and to an equity investment in a private company. The private company equity investment was part of a product strategy that the Company decided to abandon.

Of the $48.5 million of special charges recorded in fiscal 2002, $0.6 million remained accrued as of July 31, 2004 and primarily related to separation costs being paid as income continuance.

     Fiscal 2001 Charges

During fiscal 2001, the Company recorded special charges of approximately $47 million related to cost reduction actions taken in response to the economic climate at that time. The actions consisted of workforce reductions in manufacturing and, to a lesser extent, in selling, marketing and administrative areas as well as a decision to consolidate worldwide manufacturing operations and rationalize production planning and quality activities. The cost reductions included severance and fringe benefit costs of $29.6 million for approximately 1,200 employees in the United States, Europe, Asia and the Philippines, all of whom had been terminated as of January 31, 2004. The special charges also included $11.6 million related to the abandonment of equipment resulting from the consolidation of worldwide manufacturing operations and $5.8 million of other charges primarily related to equipment and lease cancelation fees. Based on the results of negotiations with vendors regarding purchase order cancelation fees, the amount paid was $1.5 million less than the amount recorded for such charges and, accordingly, the Company adjusted the provision for purchase order cancelation fees by $1.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 to reflect this change in estimate. In the third quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company determined that the severance costs remaining to be paid would be $1.3 million less than the amount originally recorded for these charges and also determined that $0.2 million originally reserved for the termination of two leases would not be required. Therefore, the Company adjusted the provision for these severance and other costs in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 to reflect this change in estimate.

Note 7 – Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed based only on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of potential future issuances of common stock relating to stock option programs and other potentially dilutive securities. In calculating diluted earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options is computed using the average market price for the respective period. Potential shares related to convertible debt and certain of the Company’s outstanding stock options were excluded because they were anti-dilutive. Those potential shares related to the Company’s outstanding stock options could be dilutive in the future. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Note 8 – Segment Information

The Company operates and tracks its results in one reportable segment. The Company designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of integrated circuits. The Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (FAS 131), “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.”

Note 9 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Beginning in fiscal 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (FAS 142), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” As a result, the Company discontinued amortizing the remaining balances of goodwill beginning November 3, 2002. Instead, the Company is required to evaluate goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable from estimated future cash flows.

Other intangible assets at July 31, 2004 and November 1, 2003, which will continue to be amortized, consisted of the following:

The Company expects annual amortization expense for these intangible assets to be:

14

Note 10 – Pension Plans

The Company has various defined benefit pension and other retirement plans for certain non-U.S. employees that are consistent with local statutes and practices. The Company’s funding policy for its foreign defined benefit pension plans is consistent with the local requirements of each country. The plans’ assets consist primarily of U.S. and non-U.S. equity securities, bonds, property and cash.

Net periodic pension cost of non-U.S. plans is presented in the following table:

Contributions of $1.9 million and $4.5 million have been made in the three and nine months ended July 31, 2004, respectively. The Company presently anticipates contributing an additional $1.7 million to fund its defined benefit pension plans in fiscal year 2004 for a total of $6.2 million.

Note 11 – Guarantees and Product Warranties

The Company has provided certain indemnities under which it may be required to make payments to an indemnified party in connection with certain transactions and agreements, in particular, with respect to certain acquisitions and divestitures, the Company has provided customary indemnities for such matters as environmental, tax, product and employee liabilities. In addition, in connection with various other agreements, including subsidiary banking agreements, the Company may provide routine guarantees. Generally the potential amount of future maximum payments cannot be reasonably estimated and therefore, the Company has not recorded any liability for these indemnities in the consolidated financial statements. The duration of the indemnities varies, and in many cases is indefinite.

The Company generally offers a 12-month warranty for its products. The Company’s warranty policy provides for replacement of the defective product. Specific accruals are recorded for known product warranty issues. Product warranty expenses were not material during the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2004 and August 2, 2003.

15

Note 12 – Stockholders’ Equity

Effective July 1, 2004, companies incorporated in Massachusetts became subject to Chapter 156D of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act. Chapter 156D eliminates the concept of treasury shares and provides that shares reacquired by a company are to be treated as authorized but unissued shares of common stock. As a result of this change, the Company has reclassified, for the balance sheets presented, shares previously classified as treasury shares as authorized, but unissued shares of common stock. At November 1, 2003 the Company had 4,040,414 shares at a cost of $91.4 million classified as treasury stock.

Note 13 – Subsequent Events

On August 11, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per outstanding share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on September 15, 2004 to all stockholders of record at the close of business on August 27, 2004.

On August 11, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $500 million of its common stock. The Company may repurchase shares from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The Company’s management will determine the timing and amount of shares repurchased. The Company’s previous repurchase program announced on August 15, 2002 was terminated by resolution of the Board of Directors on August 11, 2004.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 1, 2003.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the section entitled “Outlook,” contains or incorporates forward-looking statements within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the industry and markets in which we operate and management’s beliefs and assumptions. In addition, other written or oral statements that constitute forward-looking statements may be made by or on our behalf. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate,” variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. We have included important factors in the cautionary statements below under the heading “Factors That May Affect Future Results” that we believe could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements we make. We do not intend to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Results of Operations

Third Quarter 2004 Overview

Net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 increased 38% from the amount recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and 6% from the amount recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. We generated $596 million in operating cash during the first nine months of fiscal 2004 and had $2,689 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at July 31, 2004.

Sales

Net sales were $717.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2004, an increase of 38% from net sales of $520.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2004 were $2,001.7 million, an increase of 34% from net sales of $1,489.8 million reported for the comparable period in fiscal 2003. Net sales for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2004, as compared to the same periods in the prior year, increased across all of our end markets primarily as a result of strong sales to our wireless communication and industrial customers, and to a lesser extent, to our consumer customers.

Approximately 80% of our net sales were from analog products and approximately 20% of our net sales were from digital signal processing, or DSP, products in the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2004. Our analog product sales were 41% higher in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 than in the third quarter of fiscal 2003, primarily as a result of increased converter product sales. Our DSP product sales were 26% higher in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 than in the third quarter of fiscal 2003, primarily as a result of increased wireless handset and general purpose DSP product sales.

17

Net sales were higher in every region of the world in which our products are sold for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2004, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The strongest growth was in Southeast Asia, where sales of our products increased by 46% and 43% for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2004, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The percentage of sales by geographic region, based upon point of sale, for the first three and nine months of fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003 is as follows:

Gross Margin

Gross margin improved in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 to 60.0% of net sales, up 490 basis points from the third quarter of fiscal 2003 when gross margin was 55.1% of net sales. For the first nine months of fiscal 2004, gross margin improved to 58.8% of net sales from 54.6% of net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2003. For both the three and nine month periods, the increase in gross margin was due to the favorable mix of products, the impact of cost reduction programs and the effect of fixed costs allocated across higher levels of production.

Research and Development

Research and development, or R&D, expenses increased $19.2 million or 17% in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 from the amount recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. R&D expenses increased $44.8 million or 13% in the first nine months of fiscal 2004 from the amount recorded in the comparable period of fiscal 2003. Both the three month and nine month percentage increase in R&D expenses was less than our increase in sales for the same periods as a result of our continued tight control on discretionary expenses.

The increase in R&D expenses in dollars in both the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2004 compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily the result of increased headcount, increased salary and bonus expenses. R&D expense as a percentage of net sales will fluctuate from quarter to quarter depending on the amount of net sales and the success of new product development efforts, which we view as critical to our future growth. At any point in time we have hundreds of R&D projects underway, and we believe that none of these projects is material on an individual basis. We expect to continue the development of innovative technologies and processes for new products and we believe that a continued commitment to R&D is essential in order to maintain product leadership with our existing products and to provide innovative new product offerings. Therefore, we expect to continue to make significant R&D investments in the future.

Selling, Marketing, General and Administrative

The increase in selling, marketing, general and administrative, or SMG&A, expenses in dollars in both the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2004 compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily the result of increased commission expenses due to the increase in net sales, increased headcount, increased salary and bonus expenses and increased legal costs associated with intellectual property litigation. The decrease in SMG&A as a percentage of sales in both the three and nine

18

month periods ended July 31, 2004 compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily the result of increased sales volume.

Nonoperating Income and Expense

Interest expense was $0.1 million and $0.2 million in the three and nine months ended July 31, 2004 compared to $7.8 million and $24.6 million in the same periods in the prior year. The decrease in interest expense was the result of the redemption of our 4.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes, or notes, on October 1, 2003. Interest income was $9.6 million and $23.3 million for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2004 compared to $10.0 million and $32.5 million for the comparable periods in the prior year. The decrease in interest income in both periods is attributable to lower invested cash balances in fiscal 2004 due to our redemption of the notes on October 1, 2003 offset by an increase in interest rates in fiscal 2004. The factors above that had the effect of decreasing interest income, were partially offset during the third quarter of fiscal 2004 by the purchase of short-term investments with longer contractual maturities, and therefore, higher interest rates.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate of 22% for both the three and nine months ended July 31, 2004 remained consistent with the same periods of fiscal 2003.

Net Income

Both the three and nine month increases in net income were due to increased revenue levels, improvements in gross margin and continued tight control over discretionary operating expenses.

Outlook

Our customers appear somewhat more cautious and have increased the rate of order cancelations from prior quarters. This makes planning for the future more uncertain. Our plan for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 is based on an assumption that revenues for that quarter will be approximately the same as during the third quarter of fiscal 2004. Based on this assumption, we are planning for gross margins, operating expenses, net income and earnings per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 to be approximately the same as during the third quarter of fiscal 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At July 31, 2004, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $2,689 million, an increase of $572 million from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. This increase was primarily due to operating cash inflows of $596 million, net proceeds of $109 million from our various employee stock programs and $36 million from the sale of an investment, offset by capital expenditures of $108 million and dividend payments of $52 million.

Accounts receivable of $355 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2004 increased $60 million, or 20%, from $295 million at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 and $96 million, or 37%, from the $259 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2003. The increase in accounts receivable from the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and during the first nine months of fiscal 2004 resulted principally from increases in net sales. Days sales outstanding declined to 45 days at July 31, 2004 from 48 days as of November 1, 2003 and remained unchanged when compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2003.

Inventories increased by $39 million, or 14%, from the end of fiscal 2003, to $326 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2004. Days cost of sales in inventory declined by 2 days to 104 days as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2004 from the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. The increase in inventory in dollars was attributable to production increases in response to expected increased demand from our customers.

19

Current liabilities increased to $582 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2004, an increase of $119 million, or 26%, from the $463 million at the end of fiscal 2003 and an increase of $96 million, or 20%, from the $486 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2003. The increase in current liabilities for the first nine months of fiscal 2004 and from the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2003 is primarily the result of increased manufacturing and operating expense levels and increased capital expenditures driven by the increase in demand for our products.

Net additions to property, plant and equipment were $108 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2004 and were funded with a combination of cash on hand and cash generated from operations. Fiscal 2004 capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $150 million, and are primarily expenditures at our wafer fabrication and test facilities in response to increased demand for our products.

On August 11, 2004, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per outstanding share of common stock. The dividend is payable on September 15, 2004 to stockholders of record on August 27, 2004 and is expected to be approximately $23 million. The payment of future dividends, if any, will be based on our future financial performance.

On August 11, 2004, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $500 million of our common stock. We may repurchase shares from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Management will determine the timing and amount of shares repurchased. Our previous repurchase program announced on August 15, 2002 was terminated by resolution of our Board of Directors on August 11, 2004.

During the nine month period ended July 31, 2004, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations required to be disclosed under Item 303(a)(5) of Regulation S-K.

We have provided certain indemnities under which we may be required to make payments to an indemnified party in connection with certain transactions and agreements, in particular with respect to certain acquisitions and divestitures, we have provided customary indemnities for such matters as environmental, tax, product and employee liabilities. In addition, in connection with various other agreements, including subsidiary banking agreements, we may provide routine guarantees. Generally the potential amount of future payments cannot be reasonably estimated and therefore, we have not recorded any liability for these indemnities in the consolidated financial statements. The duration of the indemnities varies, and in many cases is indefinite.

At July 31, 2004, our principal source of liquidity was $2,689 million of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. We believe that our existing sources of liquidity and cash expected to be generated from future operations, together with anticipated available long-term financing, will be sufficient to fund operations, capital expenditures and research and development efforts for at least the next twelve months and thereafter for the foreseeable future.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations is based upon the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, knowledge of current conditions and beliefs of what could occur in the future given available information. We consider the following accounting policies to be both those most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and those that require the most subjective judgment. If actual results differ significantly from management’s estimates and projections, there could be a material effect on our financial statements.

Inventory Valuation

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Because of the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry, changes in inventory levels, obsolescence of technology, and product life cycles, we write down inventories to net realizable value. We employ a variety of methodologies to determine the amount of inventory reserves necessary. While a portion of the reserve is determined via reference to the age of inventory and lower of cost or market calculations, an element of the reserve is subject to significant judgments made by us about future demand for our inventory. Additionally, we have built inventory in preparation for the transfer of production from our four-inch wafer fabrication facilities to our six- and eight-inch wafer fabrication facilities for both lifetime supply and transition inventory. We have recorded certain levels of reserves related to these inventory builds. Although we believe that we have used our best efforts and available

20

information to estimate future demand, due to the uncertain economic times and the difficulty inherent in predicting future results, it is possible that actual demand for our products will differ from our estimates. If actual demand for our products is less than our estimates, additional reserves for existing inventories may need to be recorded in future periods.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts, when appropriate, for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, our actual losses may exceed our estimates, and additional allowances would be required.

Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

We review property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of their carrying amount to future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate over their remaining economic life. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in earnings equals the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair value determined by either a quoted market price, if any, or a value determined by utilizing a discounted cash flow technique. Although we have recognized no material impairment adjustments related to our property, plant, and equipment during the past three fiscal years, except those made in conjunction with restructuring actions, deterioration in our business in the future could lead to such impairment adjustments in future periods. Evaluation of impairment of long-lived assets requires estimating future operating results and using such estimates in the preparation of the expected future undiscounted cash flows. Actual future operating results and the remaining economic lives of our long-lived assets could differ from the estimates used in assessing the recoverability of these assets. These differences could result in impairment charges, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, or FAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, we adopted the new rules of FAS 142 for measuring and assessing goodwill for impairment. As required by FAS 142, all remaining and future acquired goodwill is subject to annual impairment tests, or earlier if indicators of potential impairment exist. The estimates and assumptions described above along with other factors such as discount rates will affect the amount of an impairment loss, if any, we recognize under FAS 142. We are required to test goodwill annually for impairment, which may result in impairment losses that could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

Accounting for Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, or FAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. FAS 109 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. We evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets quarterly. At July 31, 2004, we had deferred tax assets of $115 million primarily resulting from temporary differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities. While these assets are not assured of realization, we have conducted an assessment of the likelihood of realization and concluded that no significant valuation allowance is required. In reaching our conclusion, we evaluated certain relevant criteria including the existence of deferred tax liabilities that can be used to absorb deferred tax assets, the taxable income in prior carryback years that can be used to absorb net operating losses and taxable income in future years. Our judgments regarding future profitability may change due to future market conditions, changes in U.S. or international tax laws and other factors. These changes, if any, may require material adjustments to these deferred tax assets, resulting in a reduction in net income or an increase in net loss in the period when such determinations are made.

In addition, we have provided for potential liabilities due in various foreign jurisdictions. Judgment is required in determining our worldwide income tax expense provision. In the ordinary course of global business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. Some of these uncertainties arise as a consequence of cost reimbursement arrangements among related entities. Although we believe our estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be different than that which is reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals. Such differences could have a material impact on our income tax provision and operating results in the period in which such determination is made.

21

Contingencies

From time to time, we receive notices that our products or manufacturing processes may be infringing the patent or intellectual property rights of others. We periodically assess each matter in order to determine if a contingent liability should be recorded in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, or FAS 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”. In making this determination, we may, depending on the nature of the matter, consult with internal and external legal counsel and technical experts. Based on the information we obtain, combined with our judgment regarding all the facts and circumstances of each matter, we determine whether it is probable that a contingent loss may be incurred and whether the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. Should a loss be probable and reasonably estimable, we record a contingent loss in accordance with FAS 5. In determining the amount of a contingent loss, we consider advice received from experts in the specific matter, current status of legal proceedings, settlement negotiations that may be ongoing, prior case history and other factors. Should the judgments and estimates made by us be incorrect, we may need to record additional contingent losses that could materially adversely impact our results of operations. See Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 1, 2003.

Factors That May Affect Future Results

Our future operating results are difficult to predict and may materially fluctuate.

Our future operating results are difficult to predict and may be materially affected by a number of factors, including the timing of new product announcements or introductions by us or our competitors, competitive pricing pressures, fluctuations in manufacturing yields, adequate availability of wafers and manufacturing capacity, the risk that our backlog could decline significantly, our ability to hire, retain and motivate adequate numbers of engineers and other qualified employees to meet the demands of our customers, changes in product mix, and the effect of adverse changes in economic conditions in the United States and international markets. In addition, the semiconductor market has historically been cyclical and subject to significant economic downturns. Our business is subject to rapid technological changes and there can be no assurance, depending on the mix of future business, that products stocked in inventory will not be rendered obsolete before we ship them. As a result of these and other factors, there can be no assurance that we will not experience material fluctuations in future operating results on a quarterly or annual basis.

Long-term contracts are not typical for us and reductions, cancelations or delays in orders for our products could adversely affect our operating results.

In certain markets where end-user demand may be particularly volatile and difficult to predict, some customers place orders that require us to manufacture product and have it available for shipment, even though the customer is unwilling to make a binding commitment to purchase all, or any, of the product. At any given time, this situation could affect a portion of our backlog. As a result, we are subject to the risk of cancelation of orders leading to a sharp fall-off of sales and backlog. Further, those orders may be for products that meet the customer’s unique requirements so that those canceled orders would, in addition, result in an inventory of unsaleable products, resulting in potential inventory write-offs. As a result of lengthy manufacturing cycles for certain of the products subject to these uncertainties, the amount of unsaleable product could be substantial. Reductions, cancelations or delays in orders for our products could adversely affect our operating results.

Our future success depends upon our ability to develop and market new products and enter new markets.

Our success significantly depends on our continued ability to develop and market new products. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop and introduce new products in a timely manner or that new products, if developed, will achieve market acceptance. In addition, our growth is dependent on our continued ability to penetrate new markets where we have limited experience and competition is intense. There can be no assurance that the markets we serve will grow in the future, that our existing and new products will meet the requirements of these markets, that our products will achieve customer acceptance in these markets, that competitors will not force prices to an unacceptably low level or take market share from us, or that we can achieve or maintain profits in these markets. Furthermore, a decline in demand in one or several of our end-user markets could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our products and our results of operations. Also, some of our customers in these markets are less established, which could subject us to increased credit risk.

22

We may not be able to compete successfully in the semiconductor industry in the future.

Many other companies offer products that compete with our products. Some have greater financial, manufacturing, technical and marketing resources than we have. Additionally, some formerly independent competitors have been purchased by larger companies. Our competitors also include emerging companies selling specialized products to markets we serve. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in the future against existing or new competitors, or that our operating results will not be adversely affected by increased price competition.

We rely on third-party subcontractors and manufacturers for some industry-standard wafers and assembly/test services, and therefore cannot control their availability or conditions of supply.

We rely, and plan to continue to rely, on assembly and test subcontractors and on third-party wafer fabricators to supply most of our wafers that can be manufactured using industry-standard submicron processes. This reliance involves several risks, including reduced control over delivery schedules, manufacturing yields and costs. Additionally, we utilize third-party wafer fabricators as sole-source suppliers, primarily Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. These suppliers manufacture components in accordance with our proprietary designs and specifications. We have no written supply agreements with these sole-source suppliers and purchase our custom components through individual purchase orders. If these sole-source suppliers are unable or unwilling to manufacture and deliver sufficient quantities of components to us, on the time schedule and of the quality that we require, we may be forced to seek to engage additional or replacement suppliers, which could result in additional expenses and delays in product development or shipment of product to our customers.

We may not be able to satisfy increasing demand for our products, and increased production may lead to overcapacity and lower prices.

The cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry has resulted in sustained and short-term periods when demand for our products has increased or decreased rapidly. During periods of rapid increases in demand, our available capacity may not be sufficient to satisfy the available demand. We, and the semiconductor industry generally, expand production facilities and access to third-party foundries in response to these periods of increased demand. These capacity expansions by us and other semiconductor manufacturers may lead to overcapacity in our target markets which could lead to price erosion that would adversely impact our operating results.

Our revenues may not increase enough to offset the expense of additional capacity.

We, and the semiconductor industry generally, expand production facilities and access to third-party foundries in response to periods of increased demand which can cause operating expenses to increase. Should customer demand fail to increase or should the semiconductor industry enter a period of reduced customer demand, our financial position and results of operations could be adversely impacted as a result of underutilization of capacity or asset impairment charges.

We may be unable to adequately protect our proprietary rights, which may limit our ability to compete effectively.

We rely primarily upon know-how, rather than on patents, to develop and maintain our competitive position. There can be no assurance that others will not develop or patent similar technology or reverse engineer our products or that the confidentiality agreements upon which we rely will be adequate to protect our interests. Other companies have obtained patents covering a variety of semiconductor designs and processes, and we might be required to obtain licenses under some of these patents or be precluded from making and selling the infringing products, if such patents are found to be valid. There can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain licenses, if required, upon commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Moreover, the laws of foreign countries in which we design, manufacture and market our products may afford little or no effective protection of our proprietary technology.

We are involved in frequent litigation regarding intellectual property rights, which could be costly to defend and could require us to redesign products or pay significant royalties.

There can be no assurance that any patent will issue on pending applications or that any patent issued to us will provide substantive protection for the technology or product covered by it. We believe that patent and mask set protection is of less significance in our business than experience, innovation and management skill. There also can be no assurance that others will

23

not develop or patent similar technology, or reverse engineer our products, or that our confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants, silicon foundries and other suppliers and vendors will be adequate to protect our interests.

The semiconductor industry is characterized by frequent claims and litigation involving patent and other intellectual property rights, including claims arising under our contractual indemnification of our customers. We have received from time to time, and may receive in the future, claims from third parties asserting that our products or processes infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights. In the event a third party makes a valid intellectual property claim against us and a license is not available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, we could be forced either to redesign or to stop production of products incorporating that intellectual property, and our operating results could be materially and adversely affected. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our patents or other of our intellectual property rights or to defend us against claims of infringement, and this litigation could be costly and divert the attention of our key personnel. See Note 12 in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 1, 2003 for information concerning pending litigation that involves us. An adverse outcome in this or other litigation could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or on our consolidated results of operations or cash flows in the period in which the litigation is resolved.

If we do not retain our key personnel, our ability to execute our business strategy will be limited.

Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued service of our executive officers and key management and technical personnel, particularly our experienced engineers, and on our ability to continue to attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel. The competition for these employees is intense. The loss of the services of one or more of our key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. In addition, there could be a material adverse effect on us should the turnover rates for engineers and other key personnel increase significantly or if we are unable to continue to attract qualified personnel. We do not maintain any key person life insurance policy on any of our officers or employees.

We rely on manufacturing capacity located in geologically unstable areas, which could affect the availability of supplies and services.

We, and many companies in the semiconductor industry, rely on internal manufacturing capacity located in California as well as wafer fabrication foundries in Taiwan and other sub-contractors in geologically unstable locations around the world. This reliance involves risks associated with the impact of earthquakes on us and the semiconductor industry, including temporary loss of capacity, availability and cost of key raw materials and equipment and availability of key services including transport. In addition, California has experienced intermittent interruption in the availability of electricity. To date, the impact on us has been negligible. However, electricity is a critical resource for us, without which our products could not be manufactured at factories exposed to continued lengthy power interruptions. Any prolonged inability to utilize one of our manufacturing facilities as a result of fire, natural disaster, unavailability of electric power or otherwise, would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We are exposed to economic, political and other risks through our significant worldwide operations.

During the first nine months of fiscal year 2004, approximately 76% of our revenues were derived from customers in international markets. Although we engage in hedging transactions to reduce our exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations, there can be no assurance that our competitive position will not be adversely affected by changes in the exchange rate of the United States dollar against other currencies. We have manufacturing facilities outside the United States in Ireland and the Philippines. In addition to being exposed to the ongoing economic cycles in the semiconductor industry, we are also subject to the economic and political risks inherent in international operations and their impact on the United States economy in general, including the risks associated with ongoing uncertainties and political and economic instability in many countries around the world as well as the economic disruption from acts of terrorism, and the response to them by the United States and its allies. These risks include air transportation disruptions, expropriation, currency controls, currency exchange rate movement, and additional costs related to tax, tariff and freight rates.

Our future operating results are dependent on the performance of independent distributors and sales representatives.

A significant portion of our sales are through independent distributors that are not under our control. These independent distributors generally represent product lines offered by several companies and thus could reduce their sales efforts applied to our products or terminate their representation of us. We generally do not require letters of credit from our distributors and are

24

not protected against accounts receivable default or bankruptcy by these distributors. Our inability to collect open accounts receivable could adversely affect our results of operations. Termination of a significant distributor, whether at our initiative or the distributor’s initiative, could disrupt our current business. If we are unable to find suitable replacements in the event of terminations by significant distributors or sales representatives, our operating results could be adversely affected.

Our manufacturing processes are highly complex and may be interrupted.

We have manufacturing processes that utilize a substantial amount of technology as the fabrication of integrated circuits is a highly complex and precise process. Minute impurities, contaminants in the manufacturing environment, difficulties in the fabrication process, defects in the masks used in the wafer manufacturing process, manufacturing equipment failures, wafer breakage or other factors can cause a substantial percentage of wafers to be rejected or numerous dice on each wafer to be nonfunctional. While we have significant expertise in semiconductor manufacturing, it is possible that some processes could become unstable. This instability could result in manufacturing delays and product shortages, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Our transition of products to more modern facilities and related inventory builds may not progress as planned.

We are transitioning products from our older four-inch wafer fabrication facilities to our six-inch and eight-inch wafer fabrication facilities. We have built inventory in preparation for this transfer for both lifetime supply and transition inventory. We have recorded certain levels of reserves related to these inventory builds. Although we believe that we have used our best efforts and information to estimate future demand, due to the uncertain economic times and the difficulty inherent in predicting future results, it is possible that actual demand for our products will differ from our estimates. If actual demand for products included in our inventory builds is less than our estimates, our financial position and results of operations could be adversely impacted.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

During the second quarter of fiscal 2004, we began purchasing fixed-rate short-term investments with contractual maturities of greater than twelve months. These investments are marked to market at the end of each quarter. As of July 31, 2004, the fair value of our short-term investments would change by approximately $64 million for each 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates. Our annual interest income would change by approximately $20 million in fiscal 2004 for each 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates compared to $29 million in fiscal 2003. A change in interest rates would have less of an impact on our annual interest income in fiscal 2004 than in fiscal 2003 due to a combination of a lower investment balance and a portion of the investment portfolio being invested in fixed rate investments. There have been no other material changes in the information provided under ITEM 7A. “Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk” set forth on page 32 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 1, 2003.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) as of July 31, 2004. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our management necessarily applied its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of July 31, 2004, our disclosure controls and procedures were (1) designed to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to our CEO and CFO by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report was being prepared and (2) effective, in that they provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls. No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) occurred during the third quarter ended July 31, 2004 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
