ITEM 1. BUSINESS

        We design, develop, manufacture and market a broad range of high-performance semiconductor solutions that help accelerate packet processing for advanced network services. Target markets for our products include: core, metro, access, enterprise, small office/home office (SOHO), data center, wireless and computing segments of the network.

        We market our products on a worldwide basis primarily to OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) through a variety of channels, including our direct sales force, distributors, CEMs (contract electronic manufacturers), and independent sales representatives.

        We seek to differentiate our products from competitors' offerings through advanced architectures and features designed to enhance the performance of our customers' systems, accelerate their product development cycles, and reduce their system costs. We fabricate substantially all of our semiconductor wafers using advanced complementary metal oxide silicon (CMOS) process technology in our own fabrication facility in Oregon. We assemble or package the majority of our products in manufacturing facilities that we own in Malaysia and the Philippines, where we also conduct product test operations. We complement our internal manufacturing with the use of foundry and assembly subcontractor resources.

        In fiscal 2003, we acquired Solidum Systems Corp. (Solidum), a privately held provider of classification and content inspection processing solutions. In fiscal 2002, we acquired Newave Semiconductor Corp. (Newave), a privately held designer and marketer of integrated circuits for the telecommunications markets.

        IDT was incorporated in California in 1980 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1987. The terms "the Company," "IDT," "our," "us" and "we" refer to Integrated Device Technology, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

PRODUCTS AND MARKETS

        We provide a broad portfolio of communications-oriented integrated circuits (ICs), including ICs focused on accelerating intelligent packet processing in next-generation network equipment. IDT serves

Computing

        We operate in two business segments:

        The Communications and High-Performance Logic segment includes network search engines, content inspection engines, integrated communications processors, flow-control management devices, FIFOs, multi-ports, telecommunications, clock management and digital logic products. The SRAMs segment is comprised of high-speed SRAMs (static random access memories).

        During both fiscal 2004 and 2003, the Communications and High-Performance Logic and SRAMs segments accounted for approximately 85% and 15%, respectively, of total IDT revenues of $345.4 and $343.9 million, respectively. These two segments represented 82% and 18%, respectively, of our total revenues of $379.8 million in fiscal 2002.

Communications and High-Performance Logic Segment

        Network Search Engines (NSEs):    We offer a family of network search engines based on the integration of content addressable memory (CAM) and high-performance logic. The IDT NSEs enable intelligent application management in next-generation networking equipment. We offer one of the industry's highest-performance NSE operating up to 250 MHz, and were the first vendor to introduce an NSE with an integrated look-aside processor (LA-1) interface. Our portfolio includes a family of custom devices, as well as families of NSEs with high-performance interfaces for ASICs, and glue-less interfaces to leading network processors, to accelerate packet classification and forwarding in core, metro and access networks.

        Content Inspection Engines (CIEs):    We offer a complete family of fully programmable, forward-compatible content inspection engines that offload the classification function from system processors. Our CIEs are capable of parsing and classifying data up to Layer 7, and are optimized for packet classification and content inspection in security and content-aware networking applications. Our content

4



inspection engine portfolio includes devices optimized for Layer-7 content inspection and regular expression matching at OC-12 (PAX.port™ 1200 content inspection engine) and OC-48 (PAX.port 2500 content inspection engine) line rates.

        Integrated Communications Processors:    Our Interprise™ family of integrated communications processors offers a range of processors and development tools. In addition, we partner with industry-leading software and hardware vendors to deliver system platforms to communications customers. The devices are based on the MIPS® instruction set architecture (ISA) and target high-growth communications market segments such as Ethernet switches, enterprise gateways, and wireless local area networks (LANs), as well as emerging edge and access market areas, including fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and WAPs. Our Interprise™ processors provide a unique combination of flexibility, performance and appropriate integration levels that enable customers to get to market quickly with cost-effective, flexible systems.

        Flow-Control Management (FCM) Devices:    We continue to evolve our distinctive competencies in the integration of advanced memory and logic architectures to create a new category of value-added semiconductor devices. Our FCM devices combine critical functions such as high-speed buffering, switching, multiplexing/de-multiplexing, domain transition, and random and sequential access. These devices meet the special requirements of system architects who need to solve data-flow-control issues in their communications equipment designs. These devices replace traditional methods of mixing multiple data streams at different data rates—typically accomplished with a multiplexer, multiple ASICs, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and external SRAM, dynamic random access memory (DRAM) or FIFOs. Our solutions allow our customers to minimize their design resources required to solve data-flow-control issues and focus them on the design elements where they differentiate their products from their competition. Our current portfolio consists of multiplexing, queuing and packet-exchange families of products.

        FIFOs:    We develop products and technologies to help designers solve inter-chip communications problems such as rate matching, data buffering, bus matching and data priority managing. We provide the most extensive product portfolio in the world with more than 350 synchronous, asynchronous and bi-directional FIFO offerings that address complex issues associated with high-performance networking applications, such as terabit routers, multi-service switching platforms, host bus adaptors and wireless base stations.

        Multi-ports:    Our multi-port products solve inter-chip communication problems by providing a shared memory that can be accessed independently by two or more high bandwidth ports. The 150+ device types in this product family include both asynchronous and synchronous dual-ports, as well as specialty multi-ports such as cost effective bank-switchable dual-port ICs and high performance FourPort™ devices. In wireless applications such as 3G and 3.5G basestation radio cards these products eliminate throughput bottlenecks. In data communication designs such as multi-protocol switches, storage networks and telecom switches, the multi-ports can handle both address and payload data at bandwidths that are unmatched by multiplexed SRAM or DRAM configurations.

        Telecom Products:    We offer a broad telecommunications semiconductor portfolio, including products for access and transport, time division multiplexing (TDM) switching and voice processing. The IDT SuperJET™ family of J1/E1/T1 transceivers includes the industry's first monolithic octal density device, to address next-generation universal line-card designs in communications applications. In addition, we provide best-in-class products for multiplexing, system synchronization, the widest selection of time slot interchange (TSI) switches and the industry's highest density voice CODEC. Our telecom products are used in a variety of communications applications, including multi-service aggregators and provisioning platforms, wireless base stations, enterprise routers and media gateways that are critical to enabling and accelerating the convergence of voice and data networks.

5



        Clock Management Products:    Within clock management solutions for communications and computing applications, we offer a broad range of over 350 devices that focus on providing clock distribution and clock generation solutions. The company is one of a few suppliers in the industry that offers a clock management product portfolio consisting of programmable skew phase lock loop devices (PLLs), Zero-Delay PLLs, clock generators and clock fanout buffers. In addition, IDT has leveraged its expertise in communications-specific clocking technology to develop value-added devices for non-communications market segments, including a DDR2 PLL and register chip set for dual in-line memory modules (DIMM) and a family of PC clocks.

        Digital Logic:    We develop fast CMOS TTL-compatible (FCT), low-voltage CMOS (LVC), advanced low-voltage CMOS (ALVC), and complex logic devices, including the industry's broadest range of high-performance, 3.3-volt CMOS logic products. These products are developed for network switches and routers, wireless base stations, storage networks and servers.

SRAMs Segment

        With nearly two decades of SRAM experience, we develop innovative products and produce a broad line of high-speed, industry-standard SRAMs that are used in communications markets. We offer a wide range of products from 16-Kbit to 18-Mbit densities in both synchronous and asynchronous architectures. We invented the zero bus turnaround™ (ZBT®) technology, which has become the communications SRAM standard, and co-developed the quad data rate™ (QDR™) architecture.

Sales Channels

        We use a variety of sales channels, including a direct sales force, distributors, CEMs, and independent sales representatives. A significant percentage of our sales, including sales to Cisco and other large OEM customers, are through CEMs and distributors. One distributor, Avnet, represented 11%, 13% and 16% of our revenues for fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. One CEM, Celestica, represented approximately 14% and 15% of our revenues in fiscal 2004 and 2003. No CEM accounted for 10% or more of our revenues in fiscal 2002.

        We employ a direct sales force that operates out of field sales offices located in the United States and abroad. We also utilize three primary distributors, Avnet, Arrow Electronics and Insight Electronics, for sales in the United States. A significant percentage of our export sales are also made through global and regional distributors and CEMs in Europe, Asia Pacific and Japan.

        During fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, sales outside of the Americas represented approximately 71%, 63% and 52%, respectively, of our total revenues.

Customers

        We market our products on a worldwide basis primarily to OEMs in our two business segments. Products in the Communications and High-Performance Logic segment are targeted primarily to communications customers. Although products in the SRAMs segment are general purpose in nature, we also supply the majority of our products in this segment to our communications customers. Customers often purchase products from more than one of our product families. No OEM direct customer accounted for 10% or more of our revenues in fiscal 2004, 2003 or 2002. However, when sales through all channels are considered, we estimate that end-customer sales to Cisco represented between 20-25% of our fiscal 2004 and 2003 revenues and 13-15% of our fiscal 2002 revenues.

Manufacturing

        In fiscal 2004, we manufactured products that represented more than 90% of our revenue at our Hillsboro, Oregon wafer fabrication facility. This facility produces 200mm (8-inch) wafers from

6



0.6-micron down to 0.12-micron process technologies. We use multiple wafer foundries for the balance of our production. We expect future production at wafer foundries to increase faster than that internally.

        In fiscal 2002, we announced plans to phase out production at our wafer fabrication facility located in Salinas, California. The decision to consolidate production at our Hillsboro facility was consistent with the continuing evolution of our manufacturing technologies toward more advanced, smaller-geometry technologies, but it was accelerated by poor industry business conditions during fiscal 2002. We phased out production at the Salinas facility and completed the transfer of production to our Hillsboro plant in the first quarter of fiscal 2003.

        We operate two component assembly and test facilities, a 145,000 square-foot facility in Penang, Malaysia and a 176,000 square-foot facility near Manila, the Philippines. Substantially all of our test operations and a majority of our assembly operations are performed at these two facilities. We also use subcontractors, principally in the Philippines and Korea, to perform certain assembly operations. In addition, we have limited test capabilities in Santa Clara and Salinas.

Backlog

        Our backlog (which we define as all confirmed, unshipped orders) as of March 28, 2004 was approximately $67.8 million, compared to $42.7 million as of March 30, 2003. We offer products with limited or no second sources, as well as industry-standard products. Sales are generally made pursuant to purchase orders, which are frequently revised by customers as their requirements change. We have also entered into master purchase agreements, which do not require minimum purchase quantities, with many of our OEM and CEM customers. We schedule product deliveries on receipt of purchase orders under the related customer agreements. Generally, these purchase orders and customer agreements, especially those for standard products, also allow customers to reschedule delivery dates and cancel purchase orders without significant penalties. In general, orders, especially for industry standard products, are often made with very short lead times and may be canceled, rescheduled, repriced or otherwise revised. In addition, distributor orders are subject to price adjustments both before and after shipment. Finally, orders placed by distributors or by consignment customers may reflect those customers' intent to adjust their inventory levels, rather than providing an indication of near-term revenue opportunities. Approximately 55% of our revenues currently occur through distribution and consignment customers, and, with few exceptions, we recognize revenues not upon shipment to fulfill their orders, but upon their selling through the product to the ultimate end customer. For all these reasons, we do not believe that our order backlog is a reliable indicator of future revenues.

Research and Development

        Our research and development efforts emphasize the development of proprietary and enhanced-performance products, and advanced CMOS processes. We believe that a continued high level of investment in research and development is necessary to maintain our competitive position. We operate research and development centers in Santa Clara, California; Hillsboro, Oregon; Atlanta, Georgia; Warren, N.J.; Ottawa, Canada; Shanghai, China and Sydney, Australia. Research and development expenses, as a percentage of revenues, were approximately 29%, 38%, and 34% in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

        Our product development activities are focused on the design of integrated circuits that provide new features and enhanced performance primarily for growing communications markets applications. Additionally, we are developing advanced manufacturing process technologies, including 0.12-micron semiconductor fabrication techniques. These process technologies are designed to enable cost and performance advantages and to support higher production volumes of integrated circuits and the continued growth of our communications products.

Competition

        Intensely competitive, the semiconductor industry is characterized by rapid technological advances, cyclical market patterns, price erosion, evolving industry standards, occasional shortages of materials, intellectual property disputes, high capital equipment costs and uncertain availability of and control over manufacturing capacity. Many of our competitors have substantially greater technical, marketing, manufacturing and financial resources than we do. In addition, several foreign competitors receive financial assistance from their governments, which could give them a competitive advantage. We compete in different product areas, to varying degrees, on the basis of technical innovation and product performance, as well as product quality, availability and price. Products in the SRAM segment can generally be characterized as commodity-type items and tend to be most price sensitive.

        Our competitive strategy is to differentiate our products through high performance, innovative configurations, proprietary features and breadth of offerings. Price competition, introductions of new products by our competitors, delays in our own product introductions or other competitive factors could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations in the future.

        Our communications and high-performance logic products compete with similar products offered by such companies as Cypress Semiconductor (Cypress), Integrated Circuit Systems, NetLogic Microsystems, Texas Instruments, Pericom Semiconductor, Motorola, Toshiba, NEC, Infineon Technologies, PMC-Sierra (PMC), Legerity, Agere Systems, Zarlink Semiconductor, Exar, Intel,, and Maxim Integrated Products.

        In markets where we compete to sell SRAM products, market supply and pricing strategies of competitors significantly impact the price we receive for our products. Our competitors include U.S.-based companies such as Cypress, Giga Semiconductor and Integrated Silicon Solutions. International competitors include Samsung Electronics and various other companies based in Taiwan, Korea and elsewhere in Asia.

Intellectual Property and Licensing

        We believe that our intellectual property is a valuable corporate asset, and we continue to invest in intellectual property protection. We also intend to continue our efforts to increase the breadth of our patent portfolio. There can be no assurance that any patents issued to us will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, that the rights granted there under will provide competitive advantages to us or that our efforts generally to protect our intellectual property rights will be successful.

        In recent years, there has been a growing trend of companies resorting to litigation to protect their semiconductor technology from unauthorized use by others. In the past, we have been involved in patent litigation which adversely affected our operating results. Although we have obtained patent licenses from certain semiconductor manufacturers, we do not have licenses from a number of semiconductor manufacturers with broad patent portfolios. Our success will depend on our ability to obtain necessary intellectual property rights and protect our intellectual property rights. While we have filed patent applications, we cannot be certain that these applications will issue into patents that we will be able to obtain the necessary intellectual property rights or that other parties will not contest our intellectual property rights.

Environmental Regulation

        Various federal, state and local provisions regulate the use and discharge of certain hazardous materials used in semiconductor manufacturing. Failure to comply with environmental regulations in the future could subject us to substantial liability or cause our manufacturing operations to be interrupted. These regulations could also require us to procure costly equipment or incur significant remediation expenses. We believe we are fully compliant with all applicable environmental laws.

8


Employees

        As of March 28, 2004, we employed approximately 3,150 people worldwide, including 900 and 785 in Malaysia and the Philippines, respectively. Our future success depends in part on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, particularly engineers, who are often in great demand. We have implemented policies enabling our employees to share in our success, including stock option, stock purchase and profit sharing programs, and bonus plans for key contributors. We have never had a work stoppage. None of our employees is currently represented by a collective bargaining agreement, and we consider our employee relations to be good.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

        We own and operate a wafer fabrication facility in Hillsboro, Oregon (245,000 square feet). We own assembly and test plants in Malaysia (145,000 square feet) and the Philippines (176,000 square feet). The Malaysian plant is subject to ground leases and we have an interest in, but do not own all of the land we occupy in the Philippines. For more information on our production facilities, please refer to Item 1, "Manufacturing," in this Report.

        The Hillsboro facility was formerly subject to a synthetic lease. In September 2002, the Company elected to terminate the lease and acquire the leased property, plant and equipment for approximately $64 million. The purchase price was funded primarily by the $50.6 million lease deposit. The Company no longer has any property, plant or equipment subject to synthetic leases.

        We phased out production at our wafer fabrication facility in Salinas, California in June 2002. We continue to conduct non-manufacturing operations, primarily product marketing and design, in Salinas.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        We recommend that this discussion and analysis be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which are included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

        This report contains forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These include, but are not limited to: operating results; new product introductions and sales; competitive conditions; capital expenditures and resources; manufacturing capacity utilization; customer demand and inventory levels; intellectual property issues; and the risk factors set forth in the section "Factors Affecting Future Results." As a result of these risks and uncertainties, actual results could differ from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Unless otherwise required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly revise these statements for future events or new information after the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

        Forward-looking statements, which are generally identified by words such as "anticipates," "expects," "plans," and similar terms, include statements related to revenues and gross profit, restructuring and asset impairment charges, research and development activities, selling, general, and administrative expenses, intangible expenses, interest income and other, taxes, capital spending and financing transactions, as well as statements regarding successful development and market acceptance of new products, industry and overall economic conditions and demand, and capacity utilization.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of such statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Our estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions that we consider to be appropriate in the circumstances. However, actual future results may vary from our estimates.

        We believe that the following accounting policies are "critical" as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, in that they are both highly important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and require significant management judgments and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. We also have other important policies, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. However, these policies do not meet the definition of critical accounting policies because they do not generally require us to make estimates or judgments that are significant, difficult or subjective. These policies are discussed in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

        Income Taxes.    We account for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between book and tax bases of assets and liabilities be recognized as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Generally accepted accounting principles require us to evaluate the realizability of our net deferred tax assets on an ongoing basis. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the net deferred tax assets to an amount that will more likely than not be realized. Accordingly, we consider various tax planning strategies, forecasts of future taxable income and our most recent operating results in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. In the consideration of the realizability of net deferred tax assets, recent results must be given substantially more weight than any projections of future profitability. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, we determined that, under applicable accounting principles, it was more likely than not that we would not realize any value for any of our net deferred tax assets. Accordingly, we established a valuation allowance equal to 100% of the amount of these assets.

15



        In addition, we record liabilities related to income tax contingencies. Determining these liabilities requires us to make significant estimates and judgments of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due based on potential tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions throughout the world. Our estimates are based on the outcomes of previous audits as well as the precedents set in tax cases which include similar tax positions to those taken by the Company. If we later determine that our exposure is lower or that the liability is not sufficient to cover our revised expectations, we adjust the liability and affect a related change in our tax provision during the period in which we make such determination.

        Inventories.    Inventories are recorded at the lower of standard cost (which generally approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market value. We record reserves for obsolete and excess inventory based on our forecasts of demand over specific future time horizons. We also record reserves to value our inventory at the lower of cost or market which rely on forecasts of average selling prices (ASPs) in future periods. Actual market conditions, demand, and pricing levels in the volatile semiconductor markets that we serve may vary from our forecasts, potentially impacting our inventory reserves and resulting in material effects on our gross margin.

        Valuation of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill.    We own and operate our own manufacturing facilities, as described in Part I of this Annual Report, and have also acquired certain businesses and product portfolios in recent years. As a result we have significant property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets. We evaluate these items for impairment on an annual basis, or sooner, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying values may not be recoverable. Triggering events for impairment reviews may include adverse industry or economic trends, restructuring actions, lowered projections of profitability, or a sustained decline in our market capitalization. Evaluations of possible impairment and, if applicable, adjustments to carrying values, require us to estimate, among other factors, future cash flows, useful lives and fair market values of our reporting units and assets. Actual results may vary from our expectations. We recorded asset impairment charges of $121.4 million and $17.4 million in fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively.

        In connection with our adoption of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," we completed a transitional goodwill impairment review as of the beginning of fiscal 2003 and annual impairment reviews during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 and 2003. These reviews found no impairment. Under our accounting policy we will continue to perform an annual review in the fourth quarter of each future fiscal year, or more often if indicators of impairment exist. Our annual reviews consider estimates of the fair value of our reporting units, and may include analyses of projected discounted cash flows, using management's estimates of future revenues and expenses over a multi-year horizon. As of March 28, 2004, our assets included $40.2 million in goodwill related to the acquisitions of Newave and Solidum.

Overview

        For the first time since fiscal 2001, we posted net income, primarily due to a recovery in the economy, the market segments we serve, and demand for our products, but also related to our lowered cost structure as a result of the restructuring and asset impairment charges recorded during Fiscal 2003. With the exception of our second fiscal quarter, we experienced sequential growth in revenues, operating income and net income in each of the quarters of fiscal 2004.

        We have seen improved demand across our market segments, as well as a better pricing environment for our products. During fiscal 2004, rates of decline in our average selling prices (ASPs) moderated, and we were able to raise prices on selected products. With supply tightening in a market that has signs of improving demand for our products, we expect ASPs to remain fairly consistent over the coming year and expect our units sold to increase throughout the year, which could result in moderate growth in our revenues for the upcoming year.

16



        As our results have continued to improve, we have initiated investment in additional wafer capacity for our Hillsboro fabrication facility to meet the increased demand. We have also increased the number of employees at selected locations throughout the Company to support the increased levels of operations and anticipate this continuing throughout FY 2005.

        During the year, we maintained a focus on opportunistically enhancing our business through acquisitions with the acquisition of certain packet processing technologies from IBM during the second fiscal quarter. In addition, shortly after the end of the fiscal year, we announced the acquisition of Zettacom, a privately-held company, which we believe will accelerate our entry into the Advanced Serial Switching market.

Results of Operations

        Revenues (fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003).    Our revenues for fiscal 2004 were $345.4 million, an increase of $1.6 million or 0.5% compared to the previous year. Overall units sold were up significantly as a result of recovery across the markets we serve from 185.4 million units in fiscal 2003 to 215.1 million units in fiscal 2004, but this increase in unit volumes sold was largely offset by lower ASPs per unit for our products which were down by 13.2% during fiscal 2004.

        Revenues for our Communications and High-Performance Logic segment (which includes NSEs, CIEs, FIFOs, multiports, and flow control management devices; communications applications-specific standard products (ASSPs); and high-performance logic and timing products) increased by $0.2 million or 0%, while revenues for our SRAMs segment increased by $1.4 million or 2.7%. Units sold were up significantly in both segments as we exited the year with increasing demand for our products. Despite seeing prices begin to stabilize late in the year, ASPs were down significantly for the year.

        Throughout fiscal 2004, we continued to see the shift of our revenues to the Asia Pacific (APAC) region primarily related to growth in our consignment programs with contract manufacturers in the region as our end customer platforms migrate there to be assembled in lower cost environments. Our revenues in the APAC region (excluding Japan) increased significantly in FY 2004 as compared to FY 2003, rising 31%. Revenues in Japan also increased in FY 2004 as compared to one year ago by approximately 15%. The Americas region was most adversely affected by the shift, declining 22% during the year. In Europe, revenues were also lower by approximately 14%.

        Revenues (recent trends and outlook).    Exiting the year, we have seen a trend of increased bookings, higher levels of demand for our products, and more favorable pricing as demand begins to increase relative to world supply capacities. If these trends continue, we could experience moderate revenue growth in fiscal 2005.

        Revenues (fiscal 2003 compared to fiscal 2002).    Our revenues for fiscal 2003 were $343.9 million, a decrease of $35.9 million or 9% compared to the previous year.

        For both of our product segments, increases in units sold were more than offset by declines in ASPs. Pricing pressures were greatest where multiple sources of supply existed, such as in our SRAM segment. Revenues for our Communications and High-Performance Logic segment declined by $18.9 million or 6%. Revenues for our SRAMs segment declined by $17.1 million or 25%.

        During fiscal 2003, we experienced a trend of our business shifting away from the Americas and to the APAC region. Revenues increased within the APAC region (excluding Japan) to 30% of consolidated revenues in fiscal 2003, up from 18% in fiscal 2002. The shift was attributable to an increasing change in business environment in which customers, increasingly focused on lowering their costs, are utilizing contract manufacturers within APAC to manufacture their products.

        Gross profit (fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003).    Gross profit for fiscal 2004 was $160.8 million, an increase of $159.0 million compared to the $1.8 million recorded in fiscal 2003. Our gross profit

17



margin percentage for 2004 was 46.6% compared to 0.5% for fiscal 2003. The substantial increase in gross profit in fiscal 2004 was primarily attributable to the restructuring and impairment charges of $115.4 in fiscal 2003 that did not recur in fiscal 2004. In addition, gross profit benefited from significantly better manufacturing utilization in fiscal 2004, primarily related to purposefully reducing our inventory levels throughout fiscal 2003, from $78.2 million at the beginning of the fiscal year to $41.2 million at the end of the fiscal year. Depreciation and technology amortization expenses were also lower by $19.4 million and $2 million, respectively, due to the asset impairment charges taken in Q4 2003. Finally, retention bonuses of $3.6 million related to closing our Salinas manufacturing facility in Q1 2003 did not recur in 2004. These benefits were partially offset by lower allocations of manufacturing spending to R&D of approximately $10 million. In addition, we estimate that gross profit benefited by $2.5 million during the year as a result of sales of inventory previously reserved as excess or obsolete, slightly less than the $3.0 million benefit in fiscal 2003.

        Gross profit (fiscal 2003 compared to fiscal 2002).    Gross profit for fiscal 2003 was $1.8 million, down from $113.2 million in fiscal 2002. Our gross profit margin percentage declined to 0.5% in fiscal 2003 from 29.8% in fiscal 2002. The decline in gross profit in fiscal year 2003 was primarily driven by an increase in restructuring and asset impairment charges to $115.4 million in fiscal 2003 from $24.7 million if fiscal 2002. For further discussion of these charges, see Restructuring charges, asset impairment, and other, below.

        In addition, gross profit was negatively impacted in fiscal 2003 by lower revenues and poorer utilization of our Hillsboro wafer manufacturing facility, as we purposefully reduced our inventory levels by almost half over the course of the fiscal year. Higher unit sales volumes and a somewhat better mix of products sold were more than offset by lower product average selling prices. The above adverse impacts were only partially offset by cost savings related to the closure of our Salinas wafer fabrication facility; reduced variable spending in Hillsboro related to the lower production volumes; and lower personnel-related costs, as a result of reductions in force implemented in both fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2003. Finally, gross profit in fiscal 2003 benefited from the sale of approximately $3 million of inventory previously reserved as excess.

        Restructuring charges, asset impairment and other.    During fiscal 2003, after three consecutive quarters in which revenues either improved or remained essentially unchanged from the immediately preceding period, revenue declined measurably in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. During the course of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, taking this drop off into consideration as well as the persistent weak global and industry economic conditions, we revised our near and medium term revenue expectations downward significantly. We also reviewed corresponding key assumptions in our overall strategic business and manufacturing capacity plans. These material changes in our outlook and plans, which we were first able to quantify in our fiscal fourth quarter budgeting process, triggered an impairment review of our long-lived assets.

        Our impairment review indicated that estimated future undiscounted cash flows would not be sufficient to recover the carrying values of plant and equipment related to both our wafer fabrication facility in Hillsboro and our offshore test and assembly plants. As a result, we recorded a charge of $107.9 million to write down these assets, which we continue to hold and use, to their estimated fair values. Of the $107.9 million charge, $99.6 million was recorded as cost of sales and the remainder as research and development. Management is responsible for the estimated fair values utilized to record the asset impairment charges. Management considered a number of factors to estimate the fair values, including valuations and appraisals, when making these determinations.

        Methods used in estimating the fair market values of the facilities included considering results from independent appraisals which incorporated standard real estate appraisal techniques including the cost approach, the income approach, and the comparable sales approach. For specific equipment, we estimated fair market value primarily using recent sales data available for comparable equipment. We

18



then compared the carrying value to the estimated fair value of the assets and recorded an impairment charge for the difference.

        We also determined in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 that certain intangible assets related to our acquisition of Newave, specifically existing technology, had also become impaired, and we recorded a $13.5 million charge to cost of sales to adjust the existing technology asset to its estimated fair market value. Our revenue estimates at the time of the acquisition were made when the market outlook was considerably more favorable. We expect to continue generating cash flows from these intangible assets at levels consistent with or higher than with those used in the FY 2003 impairment analysis. In performing the overall impairment analysis for goodwill, we followed the guidance under paragraph 29 of FAS 142, which requires long-lived assets, other than goodwill, be tested for impairment first and that the carrying amount of these assets be adjusted for impairment before testing goodwill. Accordingly, only after adjusting the carrying value of the above long-lived assets, due to their impairment, did we then test the goodwill noting no impairment.

        In fiscal 2003, we also took actions, including reductions in force and the closure of certain design and sales facilities, to better align our business model with then current industry conditions and our revised revenue expectations. During fiscal 2003, we recorded restructuring charges of $5.8 million, which consisted primarily of severance and related termination benefits related to reductions in force totaling approximately 210 positions. The charges were incurred in the first, third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2003 and were recorded as cost of revenues ($2.3 million) and operating expenses ($3.5 million).

        At the time the impairment and restructuring charges were taken in FY 2003, anticipated savings for FY 2004 were as follows:

(in thousands)

  COGS
  R&D
  SG&A
  TOTAL
Depreciation and amortization   $ 19.4   $ 6.8   $   $ 26.2
Compensation related     4.7     5.4     6.3     16.4
Facilities and other     3.4     4.3     5.7     13.4
   
 
 
 
Total   $ 27.5   $ 16.5   $ 12.0   $ 56.0
   
 
 
 

        Our actual results through the end of fiscal 2004 were not significantly different from our expectations; however, additional capital equipment purchases and selective additions to manufacturing headcount had a minor offsetting effect.

        Fiscal 2002 was also a year of cyclically poor business conditions and overcapacity in the semiconductor industry. As a result, we recorded a $17.4 million asset impairment charge and $8.6 million in restructuring charges, of which $24.7 million was recorded as cost of goods sold and the remainder as operating expenses.

        In the third quarter of fiscal 2002, we performed impairment reviews of our manufacturing facilities. We determined that future undiscounted cash flows related to our Salinas wafer fab, would not be sufficient to recover the carrying values of the assets in that facility. We accordingly wrote down the assets to their fair values, resulting in a charge of $17.4 million. Management considered a number of factors to estimate the fair values, including valuations and appraisals, when making these determinations.

        In fiscal 2002, we recorded $8.6 million in expenses related to restructuring actions, consisting mainly of worldwide reductions in force in our manufacturing and administrative organizations. Such expenses were recorded as cost of goods sold ($7.3 million) and operating expenses ($1.3 million). As of the end of fiscal 2004, no accrual remains related to these restructuring actions.

19



        In addition to expenses specifically identified as asset impairment and restructuring charges, we incurred other Salinas-related closure expenses in fiscal 2003 and 2002, mainly for retention bonuses. These expenses totaled $5.0 million in fiscal 2003 ($3.2 million in fiscal 2002). We phased out production at the Salinas wafer fab and completed the transfer of production to our Hillsboro wafer fab in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, and we first realized the full benefit in gross profit of this consolidation in the second quarter of fiscal 2003.

        Research and development.    R&D expenses declined by $30.6 million in fiscal 2004 to $98.5 million. The largest driver of the decrease was due to the asset impairments and restructuring activities including the closure of our Dallas design center, which we estimate represented a $16.5 million savings for the year. In addition, lower allocations of manufacturing costs to R&D of approximately $10 million contributed significantly to the change as manufacturing capacity was proportionally more focused on production activities rather than R&D activities. Finally, deferred compensation expense in connection with our acquisition of Newave was also lower by $2.1 million as a result of the completion of the vesting provisions of arrangements with certain key Newave employees.

        R&D expenses were essentially flat over the period from fiscal 2002 to 2003. During fiscal 2003, lower allocations of manufacturing costs to R&D activities of approximately $5.5 million, lower product tooling costs of $0.9 million, lower outside product development fees of $1.3 million, and lower stock-based deferred compensation expenses related to our Newave acquisition of $1.4 million were offset by a charge of $8.3 million for the impairment of R&D assets primarily related to our Hillsboro fabrication facility and increased design engineering costs associated with our acquisition of Solidum.

        In fiscal 2005, our new product development efforts are expected to continue to focus in such areas as: networking and switching products such as our network search engines (incorporating content-addressable memory or CAM technology) and content inspection engines; flow control management devices; FIFO buffers; multi-ported specialty memory products; timing and clock products; integrated communications processors; and advanced telecommunications products. In addition, we expect significant product development efforts will be devoted to products in our newly formed Serial Switching Division, including switch fabric and traffic management technologies and to new products within our Timing Solutions Division, such as PC clocks. We are also continuing to develop manufacturing process technologies designed to increase efficiency or enable product performance advantages.

        As a result of the increased development efforts described above along with projected increases in certain performance and other related personnel costs, we expect that R&D spending in fiscal 2005 will increase slightly in comparison to fiscal 2004.

        Selling, general and administrative.    SG&A expenses declined by $10.7 million in fiscal 2004 to $72.4 million. The decrease was primarily due to the restructuring and other cost reduction actions taken during fiscal 2003. These savings were mainly related to savings in labor and other employee-related expenses as a result of multiple reductions in force which we estimate represented $6.3 million in savings. In addition, expenses related to outside services were lower by approximately $1.5 million in fiscal 2004 as a result of cost control measures.

        SG&A expenses declined by $7.6 million in fiscal 2003 to $83.1 million, with the decrease driven by lower personnel- and revenue-related costs. Personnel related costs were lower by $5.4 million due to multiple reductions in force, offset partially by related severance costs. Outside sales commissions were down by $1.5 million due to lower revenues and a new commission plan implemented early in the year and depreciation was also lower by $0.7 million. These savings were partially offset by higher spending on outside services, including legal, tax, and auditing services, which increased by $0.7 million and corporate insurance which increased by $0.7 million during fiscal 2003, and by bad debt expenses which were $1.9 million lower than in fiscal 2002. During fiscal 2002, goodwill related to the Newave transaction was amortized to expenses in accordance with an estimated useful life of seven years using

20



the straight-line method. As a result of our adoption of SFAS No. 142, amortization of certain intangibles, primarily goodwill, ceased as of the beginning of fiscal 2003. This decreased expenses within SG&A by $6.1 million in fiscal 2003 compared to fiscal 2002.

        We currently expect SG&A expenses to increase modestly in fiscal 2005, due largely to projected increases in revenue- and performance-tied selling-and personnel-related costs.

        Acquired in-process research and development.    During fiscal 2004, in connection with our acquisition of certain technologies for use in high-speed packet processing from IBM, we recorded a $0.3 million charge for acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D). Also, in connection with our acquisition of Solidum, we recorded a $2.7 million charge for acquired IPR&D in fiscal 2003. Finally, we recorded a $16.0 million charge for IPR&D in fiscal 2002 related to our acquisition of Newave. For each of these transactions, the allocation of the purchase price to IPR&D was determined by identifying technologies that had not attained technological feasibility and that did not have future alternative uses.

        Details of significant IPR&D charges are as follows:

        Newave had five IPR&D projects at the time of the acquisition. These projects included multiple caller-ID related technologies to enable advanced caller-ID functionality and T1/ISDN related technologies to enable advances in transferring voice and data simultaneously. The details of these projects at the time of acquisition were as follows:

        Gains and losses on equity investments, net.    Activity for the periods presented is summarized as follows:

(in thousands)

  Fiscal 2004
  Fiscal 2003
  Fiscal 2002
Realized gains on sales of PMC shares   $ 3,151   $   $ 507
Realized gain on sale of MoSys shares             35,653
Other than temporary impairment charge on PMC shares         (6,557 )  
   
 
 
Gains (losses) on equity investments, net   $ 3,151   $ (6,557 ) $ 36,160
   
 
 

        During fiscal 2004, we sold our remaining shares of PMC Sierra (PMC) resulting in a net gain of $3.2 million. During fiscal 2003, we recorded a $6.6 million pretax other than temporary impairment charge also related to this investment. At that time, we determined that an other than temporary decline had occurred because the market value of the shares had been significantly below our carrying value for a consecutive six month period and we had no evidence that the reduction in value would be recoverable within a reasonable period of time. In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, Monolithic System Technology (MoSys), a company that we held an investment in, completed an initial public offering. Our carrying value for the MoSys shares held in our investment portfolio was previously zero. During the third quarter of fiscal 2002, we sold all of our MoSys shares and realized a pretax gain of $35.7 million. Also, during the third quarter of fiscal 2002, we sold 370,000 PMC shares and realized a pretax gain of $0.5 million.

        Interest income and other, net.    Changes in interest income and other, net are summarized as follows:

(in thousands)

  Fiscal 2004
  Fiscal 2003
  Fiscal 2002
Interest income   $ 12,520   $ 18,233   $ 33,967
Other income, net     1,178     807     4,777
   
 
 
Interest income and other, net   $ 13,698   $ 19,040   $ 38,744
   
 
 

        The decrease in interest income in fiscal 2004 of $5.7 million is principally due to lower average interest rates on our investment portfolio, as the proceeds of maturing investments were reinvested in a lower interest rate environment.. The $15.7 million decrease in interest income in fiscal 2003 compared to fiscal 2002 is principally due to lower rates and to a lesser extent, lower balances.

        Other income, net, increased by $0.4 million in fiscal 2004 primarily as a result of higher gains on sales of investments throughout fiscal 2004. Other income, net in fiscal 2003 was significantly lower than fiscal 2002 as fiscal 2002 included a pre-tax gain of $5.1 million related to our exercise of an option to purchase land adjacent to our wafer manufacturing facility in Hillsboro. Immediately following the option exercise, we sold most of the underlying property and recognized the gain.

        Provision/Benefit for income taxes.    We recorded a 100% valuation allowance in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 against our net deferred tax assets. We have continued to record no tax benefit for tax losses and tax credits generated during fiscal 2004, as we maintain the position that it is more likely than not that we will not be able to utilize our net deferred tax assets in the foreseeable future. Even though we generated taxable income for FY 2004 and we currently expect to be profitable for FY 2005, we are required to place substantially more weight on our historical results over a longer historical period than just the past fiscal year. Thus, management has determined these valuation reserves are still appropriately maintained at the end of FY 2004. The tax benefit recorded for fiscal 2004 includes, however, $3.1 million for tax refunds we received related to previous tax years. The benefit of these refunds was partially offset by tax expense related to income generated in certain foreign tax jurisdictions.

        Our tax provision of $76.8 million for fiscal 2003 consists primarily of a 100% valuation allowance recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 against our net deferred tax assets. As a result of establishing this valuation allowance, we recorded no tax benefit on pretax losses and tax credits generated during fiscal 2003.

        We currently expect that our fiscal 2005 tax provision expense will continue to relate solely to tax expense being recorded on income generated in certain foreign tax jurisdictions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Our cash and marketable securities were $608.2 million at March 28, 2004, an increase of $53.4 million compared to March 30, 2003. Long- and short-term debt, excluding operating leases, was $5.6 million as of March 28, 2004.

        Net cash provided by operating activities was $78.7 million, compared to $11.7 million in fiscal 2003. Approximately 77% of the increase relates to cash provided by net income adjusted for non-cash items, and the remaining increase is due to changes in working capital. Working capital sources of cash included decreases in inventories, net and other assets, as well as an increase in deferred income on shipments to distributors. Other assets decreased as a result of $10.6 million in net proceeds from the sale of building and equipment, classified as assets held for sale, related to our Salinas facility and $4.4 million related to a financing repayment from a distributor during the year. Inventories decreased as a result of the management of our inventory levels during the year and stronger demand for our

22



products. Deferred income on shipments to distributors increased by $3.5 million over this period, as our distributors began to increase their inventory levels to meet anticipated customer demand. Working capital uses of cash included an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in other accrued liabilities. Accounts receivable increased during the year as a result of higher revenues, the effect of distributors building inventory where accounts receivable increases as channel inventory grows and the continued shift in our business to contract manufacturers, particularly in APAC, who have negotiated extended payment terms. The decrease in other accrued liabilities primarily relates to deferred revenue which was recognized during the year in connection with license agreements.

        Net cash provided by operating activities was $11.7 million for fiscal 2003, compared to a use of $27.9 million for fiscal 2002. During fiscal 2003, our net loss, exclusive of non-cash charges, was largely offset by depreciation and by changes in working capital balances. Inventories were reduced by $37.1 million during fiscal 2003 as we purposely worked down our inventories to better align with then-current business levels. Deferred income on shipments to distributors decreased by $18.5 million over this period, as our distributors also reduced levels of channel inventory.

        We used $14.4 million, $89.9 million and $53.6 million for investing activities in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In fiscal 2004, our proceeds from sales of short-term investments, net of purchases, were $35.4 million lower than fiscal 2003. On the other hand, purchases of plant and equipment decreased by $14.8 million as we tightened our capital spending budget entering the year in an effort to control costs. Also, fiscal 2003 contained two large expenditures of cash which did not recur in fiscal 2004. These were our terminating the synthetic lease related to our Hillsboro, Oregon, manufacturing site by purchasing approximately $64.4 million in additional fixed assets and our investment of $30.0 million in an interest bearing, convertible financial instrument which was subsequently converted into preferred shares of a privately-held technology company.

        The main drivers of the increase in cash used for investing activities in 2003 are the one-time items discussed above which occurred in fiscal 2003 partially offset by $74.2 million paid in fiscal 2002 for the acquisition of Newave.

        Our financing activities in fiscal 2004 provided $14.7 million in cash as compared to cash used of $33.6 million and $60.0 million in fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002, respectively. The main source of cash inflows in fiscal 2004 related to $18.9 million attributable to issuances of common stock in connection with the exercise of stock options and purchase of shares under the employee stock purchase plan. In addition, there were no repurchases of common stock during fiscal 2004 as compared to repurchases of $40.4 million and $67.1 million in fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively.

        We anticipate capital expenditures of approximately $44 million during fiscal 2005, to be financed through cash generated from operations and existing cash and investments. This estimate includes costs to increase our wafer manufacturing capacity at our fabrication facility in Hillsboro.

        The following table summarizes our contractual arrangements at March 28, 2004, and the expected timing and effects of these commitments on our liquidity and cash flow in future periods:

        Purchase orders or contracts for the purchase of raw materials and other goods and services are not included in the table above. We are not able to determine the aggregate amount of such purchase orders that represent binding contractual obligations, as purchase orders often represent authorizations to purchase rather than binding agreements. Our purchase orders are based on our current manufacturing needs and are fulfilled by our vendors within short time horizons. We generally do not have significant agreements for the purchase of raw materials or other goods specifying minimum quantities or set prices that exceed our expected requirements for three months. We also enter into contracts for outsourced services; however, the obligations under these contracts were not significant and the contracts generally contain clauses allowing for cancellation prior to services being performed without significant penalty.

        We believe that existing cash and investment balances, together with cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs through fiscal 2005. We may choose to investigate other financing alternatives; however, we cannot be certain that additional financing will be available on satisfactory terms.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. As of March 28, 2004, the Company had no financial instruments within the scope of this pronouncement.

        In December 2003, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC or the Staff) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 ("SAB 104"), "Revenue Recognition", which supercedes SAB 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements". SAB 104's primary purpose is to rescind accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, superceded as a result of the issuance of EITF 00-21, "Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." Additionally, SAB 104 rescinds the SEC's Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements Frequently Asked Questions and Answers (the FAQ) issued with SAB 101 that had been codified in SEC Topic 13, Revenue Recognition. Selected portions of the FAQ have been incorporated into SAB 104. While the wording of SAB 104 has changed to reflect the issuance of EITF 00-21, the revenue recognition principles of SAB 101 remain largely unchanged by the issuance of SAB 104. EITF 00-21 was effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The application of SAB 104 had no impact to the consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2004.

Factors Affecting Future Results

        Our operating results can fluctuate dramatically.    We recorded net income of $6.4 million in fiscal 2004 after recording losses of $277.9 million and $46.2 million in fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. Fluctuations in operating results can result from a wide variety of factors, including:

24


        In addition, many of these factors also impact the recoverability of the carrying value of certain manufacturing, tax, goodwill, and other tangible and intangible assets. As business conditions change, future write-downs or abandonment of these assets may occur. For example, in fiscal 2003, we recorded impairment charges totaling $197.2 million for certain manufacturing, research and development, intangible and tax assets.

        Further, we may be unable to compete successfully in the future against existing or potential competitors, and our operating results could be harmed by increased competition. Our operating results are also impacted by changes in overall economic conditions, both domestically and abroad. Should economic conditions deteriorate, domestically or overseas, our sales and business results could be harmed.

        The cyclicality of the semiconductor industry exacerbates the volatility of our operating results.    The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical. Substantial changes in demand for our products have occurred rapidly and suddenly in the past. In addition, market conditions characterized by excess supply relative to demand and resulting pricing declines have also occurred in the past. Significant shifts in demand for our products and pricing declines resulting from excess supply may occur in the future. Large and rapid swings in demand and pricing for our products can result in significantly lower revenues and underutilization of our fixed cost infrastructure, both of which would cause material fluctuations in our gross margins and our operating results.

        Demand for our products depends primarily on demand in the communications markets.    The majority of our products are incorporated into customers' systems in enterprise/carrier class network, wireless infrastructure and access network applications. A smaller percentage of our products also serve in customers' computer storage, computer-related, and other applications. Customer applications for our products have historically been characterized by rapid technological change and significant fluctuations in demand. Demand for most of our products, and therefore potential increases in revenue, depends upon growth in the communications market, particularly in the data networking and wireless telecommunications infrastructure markets and, to a lesser extent, the computer-related markets. Any slowdown in these communications or computer-related markets could materially adversely affect our operating results, as most recently evidenced by conditions in fiscal 2003 and 2002.

        Our results are dependent on the success of new products.    New products and wafer processing technology will continue to require significant R&D expenditures. If we are unable to develop, produce and successfully market new products in a timely manner, and to sell them at gross margins comparable to or better than our current products, our future results of operations could be adversely impacted. In addition, our future revenue growth is also partially dependent on our ability to penetrate new markets, where we have limited experience and where competitors are already entrenched. Even if we are able to develop, produce and successfully market new products in a timely manner, such new products may not achieve market acceptance.

        We are dependent on a concentrated group of customers for a significant part of our revenues.    We are dependent on a limited number of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) as our end-customers, and our future results depend significantly on the strategic relationships we have formed with them. If these relationships were to diminish, and if these customers were to develop their own solutions or

25



adopt a competitor's solution instead of buying our products, our results could be adversely affected. For example, any diminished relationship with Cisco or other key customers could adversely affect our results. While we sell essentially nothing to Cisco directly, we estimate that when all channels of distribution are considered, Cisco represented approximately 20-25% of our total revenues for fiscal 2004.

        Many of our end-customer OEMs have outsourced their manufacturing to a concentrated group of global contract electronic manufacturers (CEMs) who then buy product directly from us on behalf of the OEM. CEMs have achieved greater autonomy in the design win, product qualification and product purchasing decisions, especially for commodity products. Furthermore, these CEMs have generally been centralizing their global procurement processes. This has had the effect of concentrating a significant percentage of our revenue with a small number of companies. Competition for the business of these CEMs is intense and there is no assurance we can remain competitive and retain our existing market share within these customers. If these companies were to allocate a higher share of commodity or second source business to our competitors instead of buying our products, our results would be adversely affected. Furthermore, as these CEMs represent a growing percentage of our overall business, our concentration of credit and other business risks with these customers has increased. Competition among global CEMs is intense, they operate on extremely thin margins, and their financial condition, on average, declined significantly during the industry downturn in FY2001-FY2002. If any one or more of these global CEMs were to file for bankruptcy or otherwise experience significantly adverse financial conditions, our business would be adversely impacted as well. During fiscal 2004, one CEM, Celestica, accounted for approximately 14% of our revenue during FY 2004 and represented approximately 21% of our accounts receivable as of March 28, 2004.

        Finally, we utilize a relatively small number of global and regional distributors around the world, who also buy product directly from us on behalf of their customers. If our business relationships were to diminish or any one or more of these global distributors were to file for bankruptcy or otherwise experience significantly adverse financial conditions, our business could be adversely impacted. One distributor, Avnet represented 11% of revenues for fiscal 2004.

        Our product manufacturing operations are complex and subject to interruption.    From time to time, we have experienced production difficulties, including reduced manufacturing yields or products that do not meet our or our customers' specifications, that have caused delivery delays, quality problems, and possibly lost revenue opportunities. While delivery delays have been infrequent and generally short in duration, we could experience manufacturing problems, capacity constraints and/or product delivery delays in the future as a result of, among other things; complexity of manufacturing processes, changes to our process technologies (including transfers to other facilities and die size reduction efforts), and ramping production and installing new equipment at our facilities.

        Substantially all of our revenues are derived from products manufactured at facilities which are exposed to the risk of natural disasters. We have a wafer fabrication facility in Hillsboro, Oregon, and assembly and test facilities in the Philippines and Malaysia. If we were unable to use our facilities, as a result of a natural disaster or otherwise, our operations would be materially adversely affected. While we maintain certain levels of insurance against selected risks of business interruption, not all risks can be insured at a reasonable cost. Even if we have purchased insurance, the adverse impact on our business, including both costs and lost revenue opportunities, could greatly exceed the amounts, if any, that we might recover from our insurers.

        We are dependent upon electric power generated by public utilities where we operate our manufacturing facilities and we have periodically experienced electrical power interruptions. We maintain limited backup generating capability, but the amount of electric power that we can generate on our own is insufficient to fully operate these facilities, and prolonged power interruptions could have a significant adverse impact on our business.

26



        Historically, we have utilized subcontractors for the majority of our incremental assembly requirements, typically at higher costs than at our own Malaysian and Philippine assembly and test operations. We expect to continue utilizing subcontractors to supplement our own production capacity. Due to production lead times and potential subcontractor capacity constraints, any failure on our part to adequately forecast the mix of product demand and resulting subcontractor requirements could adversely affect our operating results.

        Much of our manufacturing capability is relatively fixed in nature.    Much of our manufacturing cost structure remains fixed in nature and large and rapid swings in demand for our products can make it difficult to efficiently utilize this capacity on a consistent basis. Significant downturns, as we have most recently experienced in fiscal 2002-2003, will result in material under utilization of our manufacturing facilities while sudden upturns could leave us short of capacity and unable to capitalize on incremental revenue opportunities. These swings and the resulting under utilization of our manufacturing capacity or inability to procure sufficient capacity to meet end customer demand for our products will cause material fluctuations in the gross margins we report, and could have a material adverse affect thereon.

        We build most of our products based on estimated demand forecasts.    Demand for our products can change rapidly and without advance notice. Demand can also be affected by changes in our customers' levels of inventory and differences in the timing and order patterns between them and their end customers. If demand forecasts are inaccurate or change suddenly, we may me be left with large amounts of unsold products, may not be able to fill all orders in the short term and may not be able to accurately forecast capacity utilization or make optimal investment and other business decisions.. This can leave us holding excess and obsolete inventory or unable to meet customer short-term demands, either of which can have an adverse impact on our operating results.

        We are dependent on a limited number of suppliers.    Our manufacturing operations depend upon obtaining adequate raw materials on a timely basis. The number of vendors of certain raw materials, such as silicon wafers, ultra-pure metals and certain chemicals and gases, is very limited. In addition, certain packages require long lead times and are available from only a few suppliers. From time to time, vendors have extended lead times or limited supply to us due to capacity constraints. Although we currently fabricate most of our wafers internally, we are dependent on outside foundries for a small but growing portion of our wafer requirements. Similarly, while we currently conduct most assembly and test operations internally, we do rely upon subcontractors for a significant portion of these back-end services. Our results of operations would be materially adversely affected if we were unable to obtain adequate supplies of raw materials in a timely manner or if there were significant increases in the costs of raw materials, or if foundry or back-end subcontractor capacity was not available, or was only available at uncompetitive prices.

        We are subject to a variety of environmental and other regulations related to hazardous materials used in our manufacturing processes.    Any failure by us to adequately control the use or discharge of hazardous materials under present or future regulations could subject us to substantial costs or liabilities or cause our manufacturing operations to be suspended.

        Intellectual property claims could adversely affect our business and operations.    The semiconductor industry is characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit of intellectual property rights, which have resulted in significant and often protracted and expensive litigation. We have been involved in patent litigation in the past, which adversely affected our operating results. Although we have obtained patent licenses from certain semiconductor manufacturers, we do not have licenses from a number of semiconductor manufacturers that have broad patent portfolios. Claims alleging infringement of intellectual property rights have been asserted against us and could be asserted against us in the future. These claims could result in our having to discontinue the use of certain processes; cease the manufacture, use and sale of infringing products; incur significant litigation costs and damages; and develop non-infringing technology. We might not be able to obtain such licenses on acceptable terms or

27



to develop non-infringing technology. Further, the failure to renew or renegotiate existing licenses on favorable terms, or the inability to obtain a key license, could materially adversely affect our business.

        International operations add increased volatility to our operating results.    A growing and now substantial percentage of our revenues are derived from international sales, as summarized below:

(percentage of total revenues)

  Fiscal
2004

  Fiscal

Americas   29 % 37 % 48 %
Asia Pacific   39 % 30 % 18 %

Europe   16 % 19 % 20 %
   
 
 
 
Total   100 % 100 % 100 %
   
 
 
 

        In addition, our assembly and test facilities in Malaysia and the Philippines, our design centers in Canada, China and Australia, and our foreign sales offices incur payroll, facility and other expenses in local currencies. Accordingly, movements in foreign currency exchange rates can impact our revenues and costs of goods sold, as well as both pricing and demand for our products. Our offshore sites and export sales are also subject to risks associated with foreign operations, including:

        Contract pricing for raw materials and equipment used in the fabrication and assembly processes, as well as for foundry and subcontract assembly services, can also be impacted by currency exchange rate fluctuations.

        Finally, in support of our international operations, a portion of our cash and investment portfolio resides offshore. At March 28, 2004, we had cash and investments of approximately $48 million invested overseas in accounts belonging to various IDT foreign operating entities. While these amounts are primarily invested in US dollars, a portion is held in foreign currencies, and all offshore balances are exposed to local political, banking, currency control and other risks.

        We depend on the ability of our personnel, raw materials, equipment and products to move reasonably unimpeded around the world.    Any political, military, world health (e.g., SARS) or other issue which hinders this movement or restricts the import or export of materials could lead to significant business disruptions. Furthermore, any strike, economic failure, or other material disruption on the part of major airlines or other transportation companies could also adversely affect our ability to conduct business. If such disruptions result in cancellations of customer orders or contribute to a general decrease in economic activity or corporate spending on information technology, or directly impact our marketing, manufacturing, financial and logistics functions our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

        We are exposed to potential impairment charges on investments.    From time to time, we have made strategic investments in other companies, both public and private. If the companies that we invest in are unable to execute their plans and succeed in their respective markets, we may not benefit from such investments, and we could potentially lose up to all of the amounts we invest. In addition, we evaluate our portfolio, including non-marketable equity securities, on a regular basis to determine if impairments have occurred. Impairment charges could have a material impact on our results of

28



operations in any period. As of March 28, 2004, we carried approximately $30.0 million, representing one such investment, included in other assets.

        Our common stock has experienced substantial price volatility.    Such volatility may occur in the future, particularly as a result of quarter-to-quarter variations in the actual or anticipated financial results of IDT, other semiconductor companies, or our customers. Stock price volatility may also result from product announcements by us or our competitors, or from changes in perceptions about the various types of products we manufacture and sell. In addition, our stock price may fluctuate due to price and volume fluctuations in the stock market, especially in the technology sector.

        We are dependent on key personnel.    Our performance is substantially dependent on the performance of our executive officers and key employees. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers, technical personnel or other key employees could adversely affect our business. In addition, our future success depends on our ability to successfully compete with other technology firms in attracting and retaining key technical and management personnel. If we are unable to identify and hire highly qualified technical and managerial personnel, our business could be harmed.

        We may have difficulty integrating acquired companies and technologies.    We acquired certain technologies from IBM in fiscal 2004. In addition, we acquired Newave and Solidum in fiscal 2002 and 2003, respectively, and we may pursue other acquisitions in the future. Failure to successfully integrate acquired companies and technologies into our business could adversely affect our results of operations. Integration risks and issues may include, but are not limited to, key personnel retention and assimilation, management distraction, technology development, and unexpected costs and liabilities, including goodwill impairment charges.

        Changes in generally accepted accounting principles regarding stock option accounting may adversely impact our reported operating results, our stock price and our competitiveness in the employee marketplace.    Technology companies like ours have a history of using broad-based employee stock option programs to recruit, incentivize and retain their workforce in what can be a highly competitive employee marketplace. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") allows companies the choice of either using a fair value method of accounting for options, which would result in expense recognition for all options granted, or using an intrinsic value method, as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25), with a pro forma disclosure of the impact on net income (loss) of using the fair value option expense recognition method. We have elected to apply APB 25 and accordingly we generally do not recognize any expense with respect to employee stock options as long as such options are granted at exercise prices equal to the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant.

        During March 2004, the FASB issued a proposed Statement, "Share-Based Payment, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 123 and 95". The statement proposes to eliminate the treatment for share-based transactions using APB 25 and generally would require share-based payments to employees be accounted for using a fair-value-based method and recognized as expenses in our statements of operations. The proposed standard would require the modified prospective method be used, which would require that the fair value of new awards granted from the beginning of the year of adoption plus unvested awards at the date of adoption be expensed over the vesting term. In addition, the proposed statement encourages companies to use the "binomial" approach to value stock options, as opposed to the Black-Scholes option pricing model that we currently use for the fair value of our options under SFAS 123 disclosure provisions.

        The effective date the proposed standard is recommending is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. Should this proposed statement be finalized, it will have a significant adverse impact on our consolidated statement of operations, as we will be required to expense the fair value of

29



our stock options rather than disclosing their impact on our consolidated results of operations within our footnotes in accordance with the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123. This will result in lower reported earnings per share which could negatively impact our future stock price, our access to the capital markets, and the effectiveness of current outstanding stock options in retaining key personnel. In addition, should the proposal be finalized, this could impact our ability or future practice of utilizing broad-based employee stock plans to attract, reward, and retain employees, which could also adversely impact our operations.


ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        Our interest rate risk relates primarily to our investment portfolio, which consisted of $223.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $384.9 million in short-term investments as of March 28, 2004. By policy, we limit our exposure to longer-term investments, and a substantial majority of our investment portfolio at the end of fiscal 2004 and the end of fiscal 2003 had maturities of less than two years. As a result of the relatively short duration of our portfolio, a hypothetical 10% move in interest rates would have an insignificant effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. We do not currently use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. By policy, we mitigate the credit risk in our investment portfolio through diversification and adherence to high credit-quality rating standards.

        We have minimal interest rate risk with respect to debt, since our balance sheet at March 28, 2004 included only $5.6 million in debt.

        We are exposed to currency exchange rate risk as a result of international sales, assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, and capital purchases denominated in foreign currencies. We use derivative financial instruments (primarily forward contracts) to help manage our foreign currency exposures. We do not enter into derivatives for trading purposes. We performed a sensitivity analysis for both fiscal 2004 and 2003 determining that a 10% change in the value of the U.S. dollar would have an insignificant near-term impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Integrated Device Technology, Inc.

        In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Integrated Device Technology, Inc. and its subsidiaries at March 28, 2004 and March 30, 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 28, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)2 presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," effective April 1, 2002.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

        Nature of Business.    Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT or the Company) designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of communications-oriented integrated circuits (ICs).

        Basis of Presentation.    The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest March 31. Fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002 each included 52 weeks.    Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-year balances to present the financial statements on a consistent basis.

        Principles of Consolidation.    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

        Use of Estimates.    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments.    Cash equivalents are highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Both cash equivalents and short-term investments consist of highly marketable securities that are intended to be available to meet the Company's current cash needs. All of the Company's short-term investments are classified as available for sale as of March 28, 2004 and March 30, 2003. Available-for-sale investments are reported at market value, and net unrealized gains or losses are recorded in accumulated comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders' equity, until realized. Realized gains and losses on non-equity investments are computed based upon specific identification and are included in interest income and other, net. Management evaluates investments on a regular basis to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. For publicly traded investments, this evaluation includes a review of the closing stock price over the previous six months as well as the future outlook for the stock. If the stock has traded consistently for a six-month period below its carry value and the Company has no evidence to believe that the stock will recover, the Company will record an impairment for the difference between its carrying value and the market value of the shares at the end of the period.

        Inventories.    Inventories are recorded at the lower of standard cost (which generally approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market value. Inventory held at consignment locations is included in finished goods inventory as the Company has full title and rights to the inventory. Inventory reserves include provisions for obsolete and excess inventory based on management's forecasts of demand over specific future time horizons and reserves to value our inventory at the lower of cost or market which rely on forecasts of average selling prices (ASPs) in future periods.

        Property, Plant, and Equipment.    Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives for major asset categories are as follows: machinery and equipment, 3 to 5 years; and buildings and improvements, 10 to 30 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the remaining term of the lease but not less than 3 years.

        Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill.    The Company accounts for long-lived assets, including purchased intangibles other than goodwill, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." The carrying

36



values of such assets are evaluated at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. If estimated undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying values, the affected assets are considered impaired and are written down to estimated fair value, which is generally determined on the basis of discounted cash flows or outside appraisals.

        In accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," the Company tests for impairment of goodwill and other indefinite-lived assets on an annual basis, or more frequently if indicators of impairment are present. These tests are performed at the reporting unit level using a two-step, fair-value based approach. The first step, used to determine if impairment possibly exists, is to compare the carrying amount of a reporting unit, including goodwill, to its fair value. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, the second step is to determine the amount of a possible impairment by comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill.

        Income Taxes.    The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between book and tax bases of assets and liabilities be recognized as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Generally accepted accounting principles require that the realizability of net deferred tax assets be evaluated on an ongoing basis. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the net deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Accordingly, the Company considers various tax planning strategies, forecasts of future taxable income and its most recent operating results in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. In the consideration of the realizability of net deferred tax assets, recent losses are given substantially more weight than any projections of future profitability. The determination of certain tax liabilities involves applying complex tax regulations from many different tax jurisdictions around the world and for tax years still available for or currently under audit. We record liabilities for tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, we believe additional taxes will be due. If we later determine that our exposure is lower or that the liability is not sufficient to cover our revised expectations, we adjust the liability and affect a related change in our tax provision during the period in which we make such determination.

        Revenue Recognition.    The Company's revenue primarily relates to semiconductors sold through three channels: direct sales to original equipment manufacturers (OEM's) and contract electronic manufacturers (CEM's), consignment sales to CEM's and OEM's, and sales through distributors. We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and our ability to collect is reasonably assured. For direct sales, we recognize revenue in accordance with the applicable shipping terms. Revenue related to the sale of consignment inventory is not recognized until the product is pulled from inventory stock by the customer. Many of our larger distributors have stock rotation, price protection and ship from stock pricing adjustment rights. Accordingly, we defer revenue on sales to these distributors until the product is sold through by the distributor to an end-customer. Revenues related to licensing agreements are recognized ratably over the lives of the related patents.

        Net Income (Loss) Per Share.    Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share are computed using weighted-average common shares outstanding. Dilutive net income per share also includes the effect of

37



stock options. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

 
  Fiscal Year Ended
 
(in thousands, except per share amounts)

  March 28,
2004

  March 30,

  March 31,

Basic:                    
Net income (loss) (numerator)   $ 6,396   $ (277,896 ) $ (46,192 )
   
 
 
 
Weighted average shares outstanding (denominator)     104,607     103,520     104,560  
   
 
 
 
Net income (loss) per share   $ 0.06   $ (2.68 ) $ (0.44 )
   
 
 
 

Diluted:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Net income (loss) (numerator)   $ 6,396   $ (277,896 ) $ (46,192 )
   
 
 
 
Weighted average shares outstanding     104,607     103,520     104,560  
Net effect of dilutive stock options     3,919          
   
 
 
 
Total shares (denominator)     108,526     103,520     104,560  
   
 
 
 
Net income (loss) per share   $ 0.06   $ (2.68 ) $ (0.44 )
   
 
 
 

        Net income (loss) per share for the years ended March 30, 2003 and March 31, 2002 is based only on weighted average shares outstanding. Stock options based equivalent shares for these periods, of 9.6 million and 17.1 million, respectively were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as their effect would be anti-dilutive in net loss periods. Of the total number of employee stock options outstanding for the year ended March 28, 2004, 3.7 million were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price of the stock options was greater than the average share price of the common shares for the period and therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive.

        Comprehensive Income (Loss).    Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity during a period from non-owner sources. The components of comprehensive income (loss) were as follows:

        Translation of Foreign Currencies.    For subsidiaries where the functional currency is the local currency, gains and losses resulting from translation of foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are recorded as a separate component of comprehensive income (loss). For subsidiaries where the functional currency is the U.S. dollar, gains and losses resulting from the process of remeasuring foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in other income. The effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations have not been material.

        Fair Value Disclosures of Financial Instruments.    Fair values of investments and currency forward contracts are based on quoted market prices or pricing models using current market rates. Fair values of cash, cash equivalents and a substantial majority of short-term investments approximate cost due to the short period of time until maturity.

        Concentration of Credit Risk.    The Company's most significant exposures to credit concentration risk include debt-security investments, foreign exchange contracts and accounts receivable. In addition to trade receivable balances, from time to time, IDT has entered into certain financing arrangements with its major distributors. The Company diversifies its investments and, by policy, invests only in highly rated securities to minimize credit risk.

        The Company sells integrated circuits to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and contract electronics manufacturers (CEMs) primarily in the United States, Europe and Asia. The Company monitors the financial condition of its major customers, including performing credit evaluations of those accounts which management considers to be high risk. When deemed necessary, the Company may limit the credit extended to certain customers. The Company's relationship with the customer, and the customer's past and current payment experience, are also factored into the evaluation in instances where limited financial information is available. The Company maintains a provision for potential credit losses. Write-offs of Accounts Receivable balances were not significant in each of the three years ended March 28, 2004.

        One CEM's balance represented 21% and 15% of total accounts receivable as of March 28, 2004 and March 30, 2003, respectively. In addition to trade receivables, the Company had advances to domestic distributors under various financing programs totaling approximately zero and $8.0 million at March 28, 2004 and March 30, 2003, respectively. If the financial condition or operating results of these customers were to deteriorate below critical levels, the Company's operating results could be adversely affected.

        For foreign exchange contracts, the Company controls credit risk primarily by restricting transactions to only high-credit quality counterparties.

        Stock-based Compensation Plans.    The Company accounts for its stock option plans and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) in accordance with the intrinsic value method prescribed in the Accounting Principles Board's (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."

        In December 2002, SFAS No. 148 amended SFAS No. 123 to require more prominent, tabular disclosures of the pro forma effect of using the fair value method of accounting for stock-based

employee compensation. The Company's pro forma information for the three years ended March 28, 2004, which assumes amortization of the estimated fair values over the options' vesting periods, follows:

        The Company has applied the Black-Scholes model to estimate the grant-date fair value of stock options, including shares issued under the ESPP, based upon the following weighted average assumptions:

 
  Fiscal Year Ended
 
Employee stock options

  March 28, 2004
  March 30, 2003
  March 31, 2002
 
Expected life (in years)   3.64   3.46   3.84

Risk-free interest rate   1.3 % 1.8 % 3.9 %
Volatility   86.0 % 87.0 % 99.0 %
Dividend yield        

        The weighted average estimated fair value per share of stock options granted during fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $9.09, $7.50 and $15.22, respectively. The weighted average estimated fair value per share of shares granted under the ESPP during fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $4.89, $5.96 and $14.17, respectively.

        Product Warranty.    The Company maintains a reserve for obligations it incurs under its product warranty program. The standard warranty period offered is one year, though in certain instances the warranty period may be extended to as long as two years. Management estimates the fair value of its warranty liability based on actual past warranty claims experience, its policies regarding customer warranty returns and other estimates about the timing and disposition of product returned under the program.

        New Accounting Pronouncements    In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. As of March 28, 2004, the Company had no financial instruments within the scope of this pronouncement.

        In December 2003, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC or the Staff) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 ("SAB 104"), "Revenue Recognition", which supercedes SAB 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements". SAB 104's primary purpose is to rescind accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, superceded as a result of the issuance of EITF 00-21, "Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." Additionally, SAB 104 rescinds the SEC's Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements Frequently Asked Questions and Answers (the FAQ) issued with SAB 101 that had been codified in SEC Topic 13, Revenue Recognition. Selected portions of the FAQ have been incorporated into SAB 104. While the wording of SAB 104 has changed to reflect the issuance of EITF 00-21, the revenue recognition principles of SAB 101 remain largely unchanged by the issuance of SAB 104. EITF 00-21 was effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The application of SAB 104 had no impact to the consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2004.

Note 2
Acquisition of Technology

        In August 2003, the Company acquired certain technologies for use in high-speed packet processing from IBM in a transaction, immaterial in value, which did not constitute a business combination. The principal identifiable intangible assets acquired were existing technology and customer relationship. In process technology acquired of $0.3 million was expensed at the date of acquisition. The fair values assigned are based on estimates and assumptions provided by management, and other information compiled by management, including a third-party valuation that utilized established valuation techniques appropriate for the high technology industry. In addition, incremental amounts will be paid if IBM achieves certain product development milestones within an agreed upon period and if the sales of product incorporating the acquired technology reach certain thresholds.

Note 3
Business Combinations

        In October 2002, the Company acquired Solidum Systems Corp. (Solidum), a privately held provider of classification and content inspection processing solutions. The Company paid approximately $10 million in cash for Solidum, excluding contingent consideration. The contingent consideration provided that if certain revenue milestones were met for the sales of the acquired product, the Company would be required to pay up to an additional $6 million in cash. Based on the results through the end of fiscal 2004, upon which the earn-out period expired, the Company will not have to pay any amounts under this arrangement.

        In April 2001, the Company acquired Newave Semiconductor Corp. (Newave), a privately held designer and marketer of integrated circuits for the telecommunications market. The Company paid approximately $73.2 million in cash and issued options to purchase approximately 0.47 million shares of IDT stock in exchange for outstanding employee options to acquire Newave stock.

        The business combinations were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The total purchase price is summarized below:

(in thousands)

  Solidum
  Newave
 
Cash price   $ 10,000   $ 73,235  
Less: contingent consideration         (2,422 )

Direct costs of acquisition     677     1,685  
   
 
 
Total purchase price   $ 10,677   $ 75,455  
   
 
 

        The total purchase price of the acquisitions was allocated to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on independent appraisals and management estimates are as follows:

(in thousands)

  Solidum
  Newave
 
Fair value of tangible net assets acquired   $ 498   $ 2,291  
In-process research and development     2,670     16,000

Goodwill     3,919     41,999  
   
 
 
Total purchase price   $ 10,677   $ 75,455  
   
 
 

        Deferred Stock Compensation.    The intrinsic value of the options assumed as part of the Newave transaction and not vested as of the closing date was recorded as deferred compensation to be amortized over the respective vesting periods of the options.    A total of $1.4 million, $2.3 million, and $3.9 million of stock-based compensation expense were recorded in fiscal 2004, 2003, and 2002 respectively. The remaining $1.1 million will be amortized in fiscal 2005. In addition, approximately $1.5 million of deferred stock compensation has been reversed since the acquisition as employees for which amounts were recorded left the Company with unvested options outstanding.

        Acquired In-Process Research and Development.    The Company recorded IPR&D of $2.7 million in fiscal 2003 in connection with the Solidum combination and $16.0 million related to the Newave acquisition during fiscal 2002. In each case, the amount was determined by identifying research projects which had not yet proven to be technically feasible and did not have alternative future uses. Estimated future expenses were deducted and economic rents charged for the use of other assets. Based on this analysis, a present value calculation of estimated after-tax cash flows attributable to the projects was computed using a discount rate of 30% for both Newave and Solidum. Present values for Solidum and Newave were adjusted by factors representing the percentage of completion for each project, which ranged from 40% to 95% for Solidum and 24% to 85% for Newave.

Note 5
Restructuring and Asset Impairment

        During FY 2003, after three consecutive quarters in which revenues either improved or remained essentially unchanged from the immediately preceding period, revenue declined measurably in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, taking this drop off into consideration as well as the persistent weak global and industry economic conditions, the Company revised its near and medium term revenue expectations downward significantly. The Company also reviewed corresponding key assumptions in its overall strategic business and manufacturing capacity plans. These material changes in the Company's outlook and plans, which IDT was first able to quantify in the fiscal fourth quarter budgeting process, triggered an impairment review of its long-lived assets.

        The Company's impairment review indicated that estimated future undiscounted cash flows would not be sufficient to recover the carrying values of plant and equipment related to both its wafer fabrication facility in Hillsboro, Oregon and its offshore test and assembly plants. As a result, IDT recorded impairment charges of $107.9 million to write down these assets, which it continues to hold and use, to their estimated fair market values. Of the $107.9 million charge, $99.6 million was recorded as cost of sales and $8.3 million as research and development. Management is responsible for the estimated fair values utilized to record the asset impairment charges. Management considered a number of factors to estimate the fair values, including valuations and appraisals, when making these determinations.

        Methods used in estimating the fair market values of the facilities included considering results from independent appraisals which incorporated standard real estate appraisal techniques including the cost approach, the income approach, and the comparable sales approach. For specific equipment, the Company estimated fair market value primarily using recent sales data available for comparable equipment. The Company then compared the carrying value to the estimated fair value of the assets and recorded an impairment charge for the difference.

        During the same review, the Company also determined that certain intangible assets related to IDT's acquisition of Newave, specifically existing technology, had also become impaired, and recorded a $13.5 million charge to cost of sales to adjust the existing technology to its estimated fair market value. The revenue estimates at the time of the acquisition were made when the market outlook was

43



considerably more favorable. After seeing some strength late in fiscal 2002 and early in fiscal 2003, the Company's revenues declined significantly in Q3 2003. In Q4 2003, in connection with the Company's annual budget and planning process, the Company revised its outlook downward serving as a trigger for an impairment analysis.

        Also in fiscal 2003, the Company incurred $5.8 million in restructuring charges related mainly to workforce reduction actions affecting substantially all organizations in the Company and taken as a result of continued weakness in the semiconductor industry. Of this amount, $2.3 million was specifically identified as restructuring and included as part of cost of revenues.

        The following table shows the breakdown of the restructuring and asset impairment charges and the liability remaining as of March 28, 2004:

        During fiscal 2002, as a result of cyclically poor business conditions and overcapacity in the semiconductor industry, IDT announced plans to consolidate its wafer manufacturing operations. The Company recorded an asset impairment charge of $17.4 million in the third fiscal quarter. The Company also recorded restructuring charges, consisting mainly of reductions in force, of $2.5 million, $2.0 million and $4.0 million in the first, third and fourth quarters, respectively. $24.7 million of the total fiscal 2002 asset impairment and restructuring charges was recorded as cost of goods sold and the remainder was recorded as operating expenses. No amounts remained on the balance sheet as of March 28, 2004.

        Production at the Salinas, California manufacturing facility was successfully phased out during the first quarter of fiscal 2003 and transferred to the Company's Hillsboro, Oregon facility. Approximately 260 Salinas-based positions remaining at the end of fiscal 2002 were eliminated during fiscal 2003.

        Assets held for sale in the amount of $0.4 million and $11.0 million as of March 28, 2004 and March 30, 2003, respectively, representing the estimated net realizable value of the remaining Salinas manufacturing assets, are included in prepayments and other current assets. During fiscal 2004, the Company sold the building and a portion of the related manufacturing equipment for net proceeds of $10.6 million. Net proceeds from the sale of these assets are included in the Other assets caption of Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.

Commitments and Guarantees

        The Company leases most of its administrative facilities under operating leases which expire at various dates through fiscal 2013.

        The Company's wafer fabrication facility in Hillsboro, Oregon, was subject to a synthetic lease which was scheduled to expire in May 2005. The Company was required to maintain a deposit of $50.6 million with the lessor. In September 2002, the Company elected to terminate the lease and acquire the leased property, plant and equipment for approximately $64 million. The purchase price was funded primarily by the $50.6 million lease deposit. The Company no longer has any property, plant or equipment subject to synthetic leases.

        As of March 28, 2004, aggregate future minimum commitments under all operating leases, including manufacturing equipment leases, were as follows: $8.8 million (2005), $6.3 million (2006), $4.8 million (2007), $2.7 million (2008), $1.3 million (2009) and $2.0 million (2010 and thereafter). Lease expense for the years ended March 28, 2004, March 30, 2003 and March 31, 2002 totaled approximately $9.6 million, $14.3 million and $22.7 million, respectively.

        As of March 28, 2004, the Company had outstanding commitments of approximately $10.4 million for capital equipment purchases.

        The Company maintains a reserve for obligations it incurs under its product warranty program. The standard warranty period offered is one year, though in certain instances the warranty period may be extended to as long as two years. Management estimates the fair value of its warranty liability based on actual past warranty claims experience, its policies regarding customer warranty returns and other estimates about the timing and disposition of product returned under the program. Historical warranty

46



returns activity has been minimal and as a result the related reserve was $0.5 million, as of both March 28, 2004 and March 30, 2003.

        As of March 28, 2004, the Company's financial guarantees consisted of standby letters of credit which were primarily related to customs bonds requirements and workers' compensation plans. The maximum amount of potential future payments under these arrangements was $1.8 million. The Company also has foreign exchange facilities used for hedging arrangements with a bank that allows the Company to enter into foreign exchange contracts totaling up to $60.0 million, all of which was available at March 28, 2004.

        The Company indemnifies certain customers, distributors, and subcontractors for attorney fees and damages awarded against these parties in certain circumstances in which the Company's products are alleged to infringe third party intellectual property rights, including patents, registered trademarks, or copyrights. The terms of the Company's indemnification obligations are generally perpetual from the effective date of the agreement. In certain cases, there are limits on and exceptions to the Company's potential liability for indemnification relating to intellectual property infringement claims. The Company cannot estimate the amount of potential future payments, if any, that we might be required to make as a result of these agreements. The Company has not paid any claim or been required to defend any claim related to our indemnification obligations, and accordingly, the Company has not accrued any amounts for our indemnification obligations. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will not have any future financial exposure under these indemnification obligations.

Note 9
Litigation

        From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of alleged infringement of patents and other intellectual property rights. The Company is not currently aware of any legal proceedings that the Company believes may have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

        The amounts allocated to existing technology are being amortized over an estimated useful life of seven years. Other identified intangibles are being amortized over estimated useful lives of two to seven years.

        The Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," on April 1, 2002 and, in accordance with the standard, ceased to amortize goodwill as of the beginning of fiscal 2003. Goodwill is reviewed annually for impairment (or more frequently if indicators of impairment arise). The Company completed the transitional goodwill impairment assessment required by SFAS No. 142 as of April 1, 2002 and concluded that goodwill was not impaired as of that date. The Company also completed its annual impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 and 2003 and again concluded that goodwill was not impaired. For purposes of these assessments, the Company identified two reporting units, (1) Communications and High-Performance Logic and (2) SRAMs. All goodwill was assigned to the Communications and High-Performance Logic reporting unit.

        In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the balance of the in-place workforce intangible, which had been recorded as part of the Newave acquisition and no longer met the definition of an identifiable intangible asset, was reclassified to goodwill as of April 1, 2002. The amount reclassified was $0.3 million.

        A reconciliation of the Company's net loss and net loss per share, as reported, to amounts exclusive of goodwill amortization is as follows:

Adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share   $ 0.06   $ (2.68 ) $ (0.38 )
   
 
 
 

        During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company recorded a $13.5 million impairment charge related to existing technology intangibles acquired as part of the Newave acquisition in fiscal 2001 (see Note 5). In performing the overall impairment analysis for goodwill, the Company followed the guidance under paragraph 29 of FAS 142, which requires long-lived assets, other than goodwill, be tested for impairment first and that the carrying amount of these assets be adjusted for impairment before testing goodwill. Accordingly, only after adjusting the carrying value of long-lived assets, due to their impairment, did the Company then test the goodwill noting no impairment.

Stockholders' Equity

        Stock Option Plans.    Shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Company's stock option plans include 13,500,000 shares under the 1994 Employee Stock Option Plan, 23,500,000 shares under the 1997 Employee Stock Option Plan, and 108,000 shares under the 1994 Director Stock Option Plan. At March 28, 2004, a total of 9,373,353 options were available for issuance under these plans. In connection with the mergers with Quality Semiconductor Inc. (QSI) and Newave, the Company assumed the stock option plans of those companies, of which 605,336 are available for issuance, however no additional options will be granted under these assumed plans. Also outstanding and exercisable at March 28, 2004 were options initially granted under previous stock option plans which have not been canceled or exercised.

49


        Under the plans, options are issued with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, and the maximum option term is 10 years. Plan participants typically receive an initial grant that vests in annual and/or monthly increments over four years. Thereafter, participants generally receive a smaller annual grant which vests on the same basis as the initial grant.

        Employee Stock Purchase Plan.    The Company is authorized to issue up to 11,100,000 shares of its common stock under its 1984 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). Under the ESPP, eligible domestic employees may purchase shares of IDT common stock at 85% of its fair market value on specified dates. Activity under the ESPP is summarized in the following table:

(shares in thousands)

  Fiscal 2004
  Fiscal 2003

Number of shares available at year-end     2,559     1,332     1,379

        Stockholder Rights Plan.    In December 1998, the Board of Directors adopted a plan designed to protect the rights of IDT stockholders in the event of a future, unsolicited takeover attempt. Under the plan, each outstanding share of IDT common stock bears one preferred share purchase right. Under certain circumstances, each purchase right entitles its holder to acquire one-hundredth of a share of a newly designated junior participating preferred stock at a price of $45.00 per share. The preferred stock

50



is structured so that the value of one-hundredth of a share of such preferred stock will approximate the value of one share of common stock. The rights do not trade separately and will expire on December 21, 2008.

        Stock Repurchase Program.    During fiscal 2003and 2002, under a program authorized by the Board of Directors in November 2000 and amended in December 2001, the Company repurchased 2.1 million and 2.6 million shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $40.4 million and $67.1 million, respectively. Since inception of the program in fiscal 2001, the Company has repurchased 7.0 million shares at a cost of $180.8 million. The repurchases were recorded as treasury stock and resulted in a reduction of stockholders' equity.

        In January 2003, the Board authorized an expansion of the program to repurchase up to 5 million additional shares of IDT common stock, all of which remained available under the repurchase authorization as of March 28, 2004. Any repurchases under the Company's stock repurchase program may be made from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions subject to market conditions. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

        Voluntary Exchange Offer.    During the third quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company completed a voluntary stock option exchange program for its eligible employees. The Company's chief executive officer, president, board of directors and employees within certain non-U.S. jurisdictions were not eligible to participate in this program. Under the exchange offer program, IDT employees were given the opportunity to voluntarily exchange unexercised vested and unvested stock options previously granted to them that had an exercise price of $11.01 or more.

        The offer to exchange expired on December 6, 2002. Of the approximately 1,900 employees who were eligible, approximately 1,200 participated. Of the approximately 12.6 million stock options eligible for exchange, approximately 10.1 million options were tendered by participants in the offer and were canceled by the Company. On June 11, 2003, approximately 7.3 million replacement options were granted.

        Certain of the tendered and accepted options had been assumed by the Company in connection with its acquisition of Newave Semiconductor in April 2001. As a result of the exchange offer, the Company was required to accelerate deferred compensation previously recorded in connection with these options. The amount of compensation expense accelerated and recorded in fiscal 2003 was $0.2 million.

Note 12
Employee Benefits Plans

        Under the Company's profit sharing plan, substantially all employees are eligible for a designated percentage of profits. Profit sharing contributions for fiscal 2004 totaled $0.6 million. There were no profit sharing contributions in fiscal 2003 or 2002. Under another plan, the Company awards bonuses to executive officers and other key employees based on profitability and individual performance. There were no amounts accrued under this plan in any of the periods presented.

        The Company sponsors a 401(k) retirement matching plan for qualified domestic employees. The Company recorded expenses of approximately $0.6 million, $1.5 million and $1.8 million in matching contributions under the plan in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

        In fiscal 2001, the Company established a non-qualified deferred compensation plan, which allows executive officers and other key employees to defer salary, bonus and other compensation-related payments. The Company incurred costs for this plan for insurance, administrative, and other support costs of $0.8 million, $0.5 million, and $0.8 million in fiscal 2004, 2003 or 2002, respectively. In years which a bonus is paid to management, the costs for this plan are deducted from the pool from which bonuses are paid.

        For fiscal 2004, the Company reduced its computed deferred tax rate used to compute deferred taxes, from 39.0% to 37.9%. The rate was changed to reflect a lower effective state income tax rate as a result of the lower percentage of worldwide sales shipped to US destinations.

        In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 the Company established a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets because management concluded it was more likely than not that none of these deferred tax assets would be realized. Management reached this decision based on judgment, which included consideration of historical losses and projections of future profits with substantially more weight being placed on recent losses than any projections of future profitability. For the same reasons, this full valuation allowance continued through fiscal 2004.

        During fiscal 2004, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets decreased by $30.3 million from the end of fiscal 2003. As of March 28, 2004 and March 30, 2003, $47.5 million and $48.3 million of the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is attributable to stock option deductions arising from activity under the Company's stock option plans, the benefits of which will increase capital in excess of par value when realized.

        Under Malaysian law, in fiscal 2004 and in past years, the Company generated certain tax incentive benefits to reduce its local tax obligations below the normal 28% statutory rate. The Company's manufacturing subsidiary in the Philippines operated under a tax holiday which expired at the end of July 2003, up until which earnings were taxed at 5.0% instead of the 32% statutory rate.

        The Company's intention is to permanently reinvest a portion of its foreign subsidiary earnings, while it intends to remit as a dividend to its U.S. parent company, at some future date, the remainder of these earnings. Accordingly, U.S. taxes have not been provided on approximately $86.0 million of permanently reinvested foreign subsidiary earnings, excluding the cumulative loss of the Company's cost sharing subsidiary in the Caymans. U.S. taxes have been provided, pursuant to APB Opinion No. 23, on $27.1 million of foreign subsidiary earnings that are intended to be remitted as a dividend at some future date. Upon distribution of foreign subsidiary earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company will be subject to both U.S. income taxes and various foreign country withholding taxes.

        As of March 28, 2004, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $238.1 million. In addition, the Company had total net operating loss carryforwards for all states of $94.7 million. The federal net operating loss carryforward will expire in various fiscal years from 2012 through 2024 if not utilized. The state net operating loss carryforward will expire in various fiscal years from 2005 through 2024 if not utilized. In addition, the Company had approximately $40.5 million of federal research and development tax credit carryforward, $1.1 million of foreign tax credit carryforward, and $3.0 million of federal alternative minimum tax credit carryforward. The federal research tax credit carryforward will expire from fiscal years 2014 through 2022 if not utilized and the foreign tax credit carryforward will expire from fiscal years 2005 to 2009 if not utilized. The Company also had available approximately $41.4 million of state income tax credit carryforward, $6.5 million of which will expire in various years between fiscal years 2005 and 2012 if not utilized. The Company also had Canadian federal and provincial net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $16.3 and $18.0 million, respectively, which will expire in various fiscal years from 2005 through 2009 if

54



not utilized. The Company had Canadian federal and provincial scientific research and experimental development expenditure carryforwards of approximately $8.4 and $10.6 million.

        Examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of the Company's income tax returns for fiscal 2000 through fiscal 2002 began in fiscal 2003. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these examinations will not have any material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Note 14
Segments

        The Company operated in two segments during fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002: (1) Communications and High-Performance Logic and (2) SRAMs. The Communications and High-Performance Logic segment includes network search engines, content inspection engines, integrated communications processors, FIFOs, multi-ports, flow control management devices, telecommunications products, clock management products and high-performance logic. The SRAMs segment consists of high-speed SRAMs.

        The accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole (see Note 1). IDT evaluates segment performance on the basis of operating profit or loss, which excludes restructuring, asset impairment, acquisition-related and other similar costs, interest expense, interest and other income, and taxes. There are no intersegment revenues to be reported. IDT does not identify or allocate assets by operating segment, nor does the chief operating decision maker (the CEO of the Company) evaluate groups on the basis of these criteria.

        Products in the SRAMs segment have primarily commodity characteristics, including high unit sales volumes and lower ASPs and gross margins. Unit sales of products in the Communications and High-Performance Logic segment, with the exception of logic devices, tend to be lower than those in the SRAMs segment, but generally have higher ASPs and margins.

        The tables below provide information about the reportable segments for fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002.

Note 15
Derivative Financial Instruments

        As a result of its significant international operations, sales and purchase transactions, the Company is subject to risks associated with fluctuating currency exchange rates. The Company generally uses derivative financial instruments to hedge these risks when instruments are available and cost effective in

56



an attempt to minimize the impact of currency exchange rate movements on its operating results and on the cost of capital equipment purchases. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company's significant foreign currency exchange exposures and related hedging programs are described below.

        Forecasted transactions.    Historically, the Company has had foreign currency exposure related to its revenues in Japan, which were generally yen-denominated. With few exceptions, all other revenue was (and continues to be) US dollar-based. In fiscal 2003, the Company began offering its products in Japan denominated in US dollars and in yen. By the end of fiscal 2004, the Company had significantly transitioned its revenue in Japan from yen-based to US dollar-based, and had reduced its yen-based revenue exposure to a level that approximate its local yen-denominated operating expenses. Thus, the Company has essentially eliminated the need for the level of revenue hedging activity, that had occurred in prior years. As of March 28, 2004, there were no outstanding derivatives for these forecasted transactions.

        The Company reviews all of its currency exposures from time to time and may decide to enter into a hedge of its forecasted transactions if deemed appropriate. If the Company chooses to enter into a hedging derivative, these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges when the transactions are forecasted and in general closely match the underlying forecasted transactions in duration. The contracts are carried on the balance sheet at fair value and the effective portion of the contracts' gains and losses is recorded as other comprehensive income until the forecasted transactions occur.

        If the underlying forecasted transactions do not occur, or it becomes probable that they will not occur, the gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge is recognized immediately, in other income. For fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company did not record any gains or losses related to forecasted transactions that did not occur or became improbable.

        The Company measures the effectiveness of hedges of forecasted transactions on at least a quarterly basis by comparing the fair values of the designated currency forward contracts with the fair values of the forecasted transactions. No ineffectiveness was recognized in earnings during fiscal 2004, 2003, or 2002.

        Firm commitments.    The Company uses currency forward contracts to hedge certain foreign currency purchase commitments, primarily denominated in Japanese yen and the euro. These contracts are designated as fair value hedges, and changes in the fair value of the contracts are offset against changes in the fair value of the commitment being hedged, through earnings. Net gains and losses included in earnings during fiscal 2004, 2003, and 2002 were not material.

        For firm commitment hedges, the Company excludes the time value of currency forward contracts from effectiveness testing, as permitted under SFAS No. 133. For fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, the time value of these contracts was recorded as other income and was not significant.

        Balance sheet exposures.    The Company also utilizes currency forward contracts to hedge currency exchange rate fluctuations related to certain foreign currency assets and liabilities. Gains and losses on these undesignated derivatives offset gains and losses on the assets and liabilities being hedged and the net amount is included in earnings. An immaterial amount of net gains and losses were included in earnings during fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002.

        Besides foreign exchange rate exposure, the Company's cash and investment portfolio and its equity investments are subject to the risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates and equity market prices, respectively. While the Company's policies allow for the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge the fair values of such investments, as of March 30, 2004, the Company had not entered into this type of hedge.

Note 16
Gain (Loss) on Equity Investments, Net

        During the second quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company sold its remaining shares in PMC-Sierra Inc. (PMC) and recorded a $3.2 million, net gain.

        During the second quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company recorded a $6.6 million pretax charge related to its investment in PMC. The charge represented what the Company considered to be an other than temporary decline in the aggregate market value of its PMC investment.

        During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, Monolithic System Technology (MoSys) completed an initial public offering. The Company's carrying value for the 2.6 million MoSys shares held was previously zero. During the third quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company sold all of its MoSys shares and realized a pretax gain of $35.7 million. Also in the third quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company sold 370,000 PMC shares at an average price of $26.21 per share and realized a pretax gain of $0.5 million.

Note 17
Other Assets

        Included in other assets as of March 28, 2004 and March 30, 2003 is a $30.0 million preferred-stock investment in a privately held technology company. The Company initially invested in a convertible, interest-bearing financial instrument in the amount of $30.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. The instrument, in accordance with its original terms, was converted by the issuer to preferred stock in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. As the Company is not able to exercise influence on the technology company and its investment represents less than a 20% ownership, the Company accounts for its investment under the cost method of accounting.

Note 18
Subsequent Event

        In May 2004, IDT closed the acquisition of ZettaCom, Inc., for approximately $34.0 million in cash along with potential future compensation of approximately $4.0 million to be paid out to employees who remain with IDT for a specified period of time subsequent to the acquisition. ZettaCom specializes in the manufacture of switch fabric and traffic management products.
