(1) INTERIM ACCOUNTING POLICY

The accompanying financial statements have not been audited. In the opinion of our management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly our financial position at March 27, 2004 and results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.

Certain footnote information has been condensed or omitted from these financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 28, 2003. Results of operations for the nine months ended March 27, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

Per SEC’s Release No. 33-8040, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies,” we have determined the critical principles by considering accounting policies that involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments. We state these accounting policies in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 28, 2003. There were no significant changes to our critical accounting polices during the nine months ended March 27, 2004.

Stock Options

We apply the intrinsic-value-based method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” in accounting for employee stock options. Our policy is to grant stock options at the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. Accordingly, compensation expense is generally recognized only when options are granted with a discounted exercise price. Any resulting compensation expense is recognized ratably over the associated service period, which is generally the option vesting term.

6

We have determined pro forma net earnings and earnings per share information as if the fair value method described in SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,” had been applied to employee stock-based compensation. The pro forma effect on net earnings and net earnings per share is as follows for the three-month and nine-month periods ending March 27, 2004 and March 29, 2003 (in thousands, except net income per share):

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

New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities an Interpretation of ARB No. 51.” FIN 46 addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. The FASB then issued FIN 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities an Interpretation of ARB No. 51,” which replaced FIN 46. Application of FIN 46(R) is required in financial statements of public entities that have interests in variable interest entities or potential variable interest entities commonly referred to as special-purpose entities for periods ending after March 15, 2004. As of March 27, 2004 we had no investments in variable interest entities, therefore there was no impact upon adoption.

(2) MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Investments in marketable securities primarily consists of short-term commercial paper. During the nine months ended March 27, 2004, more available funds were moved out of cash and into marketable securities.

(3) INVENTORY

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

A total of $1.4 million in inventory was scrapped in the first nine months ended March 27, 2004.

(4) DEBT

On March 1, 2004 we entered into a revolving credit loan agreement, which will terminate March 1, 2007. The revolving credit loan agreement allows us to draw down to a maximum balance of $20.0 million in increments of not less than $500,000. At our option, the unpaid balance shall bear interest at the available LIBOR Based Rate (as defined) or the Prime Based Rate (as defined). A commitment fee on the average daily-unused portion of the revolving credit loan balance will be due and payable on a quarterly basis. The commitment fee will be between .20% (.0020) and ..25% (.0025) based on the funded debt to EBITDA ratio calculated the previous quarter. There was no outstanding balance on our revolving credit loan agreement as of March 27, 2004.

In connection with the acquisition of Micro Networks Corporation (“MNC)” in Fiscal 2002, we entered into a revolving credit and term loan facility dated December 31, 2001, which would have terminated December 31, 2004. The facility enabled us to draw down $45.0 million under the term loan and $10.0 million under the revolving credit facility. At our option, the interest rate under the term loan was either (1) an annual base rate, which is the higher of (i) a rate of interest announced from time to time by the lenders’ administrative agent as the base rate (“Base Rate”) or (ii) the sum of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% per annum or (2) London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.75%. At our option, the interest rate under the revolving credit facility, was either (1) the Base Rate or (2) the LIBOR Rate plus a pre-formulated margin. During the first three months of fiscal year 2004, we paid down $4.2 million of the term loan. During the second quarter of fiscal 2004, we made the final payment of $5.8 million on our term loan. This loan agreement was terminated in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. $112,000 in loan fees were written off early as the result of the early termination of the revolving credit and term facility.

Our revolving credit loan agreement requires the maintenance of specified financial ratios, including a fixed charge coverage ratio, a funded debt to EBITDA ratio, a liquidity ratio, a minimum tangible net worth, and imposes financial limitations. At March 27, 2004 we were in compliance with all of these covenants.

(5) RESTRUCTURING COST

On January 4, 2002, we acquired MNC, net of cash, for $74.9 million. We believe that by acquiring MNC we now have access to technology that will broaden our offering of silicon timing products to strengthen our position within strategic markets such as servers, storage systems and communications.

The purchase price included $5.6 million in purchase accounting liabilities. Of the total amount recorded, $1.2 million represents costs associated with closing office and production facilities and employee relocation costs, $2.0 million represents severance and other personnel costs, and $2.4 million represents the net book value of property and equipment identified for disposal, net of estimated sales proceeds. We expect to complete the restructuring by the end of fiscal year 2004. As of March 27, 2004 we have expended approximately $0.8 million and $2.0 million of this reserve relating to facility closing costs, severance and personnel costs, respectively. Approximately $11,000 of the remaining amount relates to severance and other personnel costs, which will be paid in fiscal year 2004, and the remaining relates to facility closing costs. During the third quarter of fiscal 2004 we utilized $0.1 million of the reserve for both severance and facility closing costs. This reserve is included in “Accrued expense and other current liabilities” in the Balance Sheet. The results of MNC have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. The roll forward of the restructuring reserve is as follows (in thousands):

(6) CAPITAL STOCK

In September 2001, we announced a repurchase program, which authorized the purchase, from time to time, of 2.0 million shares of our common stock on the open market. In October 2002, we announced that our board of directors approved an increase in the number of shares to be repurchased under this repurchase program to 3.0 million. As of March 27, 2004, we had repurchased 2.1 million shares for $45.5 million.

As of March 27, 2004, additional paid in capital increased $18.5 million from the June 28, 2003 balance as the result of the exercise of stock options, the tax benefit relating to the exercises of non-qualified stock options and the purchase of our stock by employees in our stock purchase plan.

(7) INDUSTRY AND SEGMENT INFORMATION

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

We operate and track our results in one reportable business segment. We design, develop, manufacture and market silicon timing devices. The nature of our products and production processes as well as distribution methods is consistent among all of our products.

(8) NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excluding contingently issuable or returnable shares that contingently convert into common stock upon certain events. Diluted net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and diluted potential common shares outstanding.

9

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

(9) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

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

(10) INCOME TAX

Our effective income tax rate was 15.8% for the first nine months of fiscal year 2004 as compared to 14.9% in the prior year period. The effective tax rate for fiscal years 2004 and 2003 reflects the tax-exempt status of our Singapore operation, which has been given pioneer status, or exemption of taxes on non-passive income, for five years as stated in our agreement with the Economic Development Board of Singapore. The five-year period ends December 31, 2007. We do not currently calculate deferred taxes on our investment in our Singapore operations, as all undistributed earnings are permanently reinvested back into the Singapore facility. If we were to record deferred taxes on our investment, the amount would be a liability of approximately $62.3 million as of March 27, 2004.

(11) LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, various inquiries, potential claims and charges and litigation are made, asserted or commenced by or against us, principally arising from or related to contractual relations and possible patent infringement. We believe that any of these claims currently pending, individually and in the aggregate, have

10

been adequately reserved and will not have any material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

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

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

Maxtek, our distributor for our PC business in Taiwan, represented approximately 23% of our sales for the first nine months of fiscal year 2004, and 21% in the prior year period. Additionally, sales to Lacewood International Corp, an entity that is commonly controlled by the owners’ of Maxtek representing business in Hong Kong and China, were approximately 14% of our sales for the first nine months of fiscal year 2004, and 21% in the prior year period.

Results of Operations

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

THIRD QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2004 AS COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2003

Revenue. Revenue was $67.8 million for the third quarter ended March 27, 2004, an increase of $6.9 million from the prior year quarter. The increase is attributable to the ramp up for Double Data Rate (“DDR”) registered memory modules and communications products. Our average selling price for our products increased 3.6%, while the volume increased 7.5% compared to prior year quarter.

Foreign revenue, which includes shipments of products to foreign companies as well as offshore subsidiaries of US multinational companies, was 72.3% of total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal year 2004 as compared to 76.8% of total revenue in the prior year quarter. Our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, which minimizes foreign currency risk.

Gross Margin. Gross margin represents net revenue less cost of sales. Cost of sales was $26.7 million for the quarter ended March 27, 2004, an increase of $2.0 million from the prior year quarter, principally because of higher revenues. Cost of sales as a percentage of total revenue was 39.5% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2004 as compared to 40.6% in the prior year quarter, principally because of favorable product mix. Cost of sales includes: the cost of purchasing the finished silicon wafers manufactured by independent foundries, costs associated with assembly, packaging, testing, quality assurance, product yields and the cost of personnel and equipment associated with manufacturing support.

12

Research and Development Expense. Research and development (“R&D”) expense was $10.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2004, an increase of $1.6 million from the prior year quarter. This increase is due to the continued investment in technical expertise in engineering. As a percentage of revenue, R&D increased to 15.4% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2004 as compared to 14.4% in the prior year period.

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

Selling, General, Administrative and Other. Selling, general, administrative and other expense (“SG&A”) was $9.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2004, a decrease of $0.4 million from the prior year quarter. As a percentage of total revenue, SG&A expenses decreased to 13.4% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2004 as compared to 15.6% in the prior year quarter. The percentage decrease is attributable to the increase in revenue from the prior year period. SG&A expenses consist mainly of salaries and related expenses, sales commissions, professional fees, and amortization of intangibles.

Operating Income. In dollar terms, operating income was $21.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2004 compared to $17.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2003. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, operating income was 31.7% and 29.4% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2004 and the prior year quarter, respectively.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $33 thousand in the third quarter of fiscal year 2004 and $0.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2003. This decrease is due to lower debt balances.

Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income was $0.5 million for the quarter ended March 27, 2004 and $0.4 million in the prior year quarter as interest rates have declined over the past year.

Income Tax Expense. Our effective income tax rate was 15.8% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2004 as compared to 14.7% in the prior year period. The effective tax rate for fiscal years 2004 and 2003 reflects the tax-exempt status of our Singapore operation, which has been given pioneer status, or exemption of taxes on non-passive income, for five years as stated in our agreement with the Economic Development Board of Singapore. The five-year period ends December 31, 2007. The increase in overall tax rate was directly attributable to increased income in our USA locations relative to our total operations. We do not currently calculate deferred taxes on our investment in our Singapore operations, as all undistributed earnings are permanently reinvested back into the Singapore facility. If we were to record deferred taxes on our investment, the amount would be a $62.3 million liability as of March 27, 2004.

NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 27, 2004 AS COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 29, 2003

Revenue. Revenue was $202.6 million for the nine months ended March 27, 2004, an increase of $21.9 million from the corresponding prior year period. The increase is attributable to the ramp up for Double Data Rate (“DDR”) registered memory modules and communications products. Our average selling price for our products declined 7.3%, while the volume increased 20.9% compared to the prior year period.

13

Foreign revenue, which includes shipments of products to foreign companies as well as offshore subsidiaries of US multinational companies, was 75.0% of total revenue for the first nine months of fiscal year 2004 as compared to 76.0% of total revenue in the prior year period. Our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, which minimizes foreign currency risk.

Gross Margin. Gross margin represents net revenue less cost of sales. Cost of sales was $81.3 million for the nine months ended March 27, 2004, an increase of $7.6 million from the prior year period, principally because of higher revenues. Cost of sales as a percentage of total revenue was 40.1% for the first nine months of fiscal year 2004 as compared to 40.8% in the prior year period, principally because of favorable product mix. Cost of sales includes the cost of purchasing the finished silicon wafers manufactured by independent foundries, costs associated with assembly, packaging, testing, quality assurance, product yields and the cost of personnel and equipment associated with manufacturing support.

Research and Development Expense. Research and development (“R&D”) expense was $29.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2004, an increase of $4.0 million from the prior year period. This increase is due to the continued investment in technical expertise in engineering. As a percentage of revenue, R&D increased to 14.7% for the first nine months of fiscal year 2004 as compared to 14.3% in the prior year period.

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

Selling, General, Administrative and Other. Selling, general, administrative and other expense (“SG&A”) was $28.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2004, a decrease of $0.5 million from the prior year period. As a percentage of total revenue, SG&A expenses decreased to 14.1% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2004 as compared to 16.1% in the prior year period. The percentage decrease is attributable to the increase in revenue from the prior year period. SG&A expenses consist mainly of salaries and related expenses, sales commissions, professional fees, and amortization of intangibles.

Operating Income. In dollar terms, operating income was $63.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2004 compared to $52.1 million in the prior year period. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, operating income was 31.1% and 28.8% for the first nine months of fiscal year 2004 and the prior year period, respectively.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $0.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2004 and $1.3 million in the prior year period. This decrease is due to lower debt balances.

Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income was $1.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2004 and $2.0 million in the prior year period. Included in other income for the first nine months of both fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003 is a gain of $0.3 million as a result of the sale of 25% of our investment in Maxtek Technology Co. Ltd in each period.

Income Tax Expense. Our effective income tax rate was 15.8% in the first nine months of fiscal year 2004 as compared to 14.9% in the prior year period. The effective tax rate for fiscal years 2004 and 2003 reflects the tax-exempt status of our Singapore operation, which has been given pioneer status, or exemption of taxes on non-passive income, for five years as stated in our agreement with the Economic Development Board of Singapore. The five-year period ends December 31, 2007. The increase in overall tax rate was directly

14

attributable to increased income in our USA locations relative to our total operations. We do not currently calculate deferred taxes on our investment in our Singapore operations, as all undistributed earnings are permanently reinvested back into the Singapore facility. If we were to record deferred taxes on our investment, the amount would be a $62.3 million liability as of March 27, 2004.

INDUSTRY FACTORS

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

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

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

At March 27, 2004, our principal sources of liquidity included cash and marketable securities of $183.3 million as compared to the June 28, 2003 balance of $123.0 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $62.1million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2004, as compared to $52.4 million in the prior year period. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase in our profitability. Our days sales outstanding decreased from 53 days at June 28, 2003 to 49 days at March 27, 2004, while our effort on improving our inventory levels and increased sales volume resulted in inventory turns remaining at 5.4 times at March 27, 2004 and June 28, 2003. Accounts Payable increased from June 28, 2003 to March 27, 2004 as overall business increased.

Purchases for property and equipment were $5.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2004 as the company invested in production capacity and research and development versus $2.7 million in the prior year period.

Purchases of marketable securities were $161.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2004 compared to $35.2 million in the six months ended December 27, 2003. During this period, we invested more funds in the three to six month ranges.

In fiscal year 2001, we entered into an Investment and Stock Trade Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Maxtek, a distributor in Taiwan. We invested in approximately 10% of Maxtek, or 4.0 million shares, at $4.0 million. The Agreement states that if Maxtek fails to successfully complete a public offering by December 5, 2005, we,

15

at our sole option, have the right to demand immediate repurchase of all 4.0 million shares, at the original purchase price plus accrued annual interest (commercial rate set by the Central Bank of China) during the said period.

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

Maxtek, our distributor for our PC business in Taiwan, represented approximately 23% of our sales for the first nine months of fiscal year 2004, and 21% in the prior year period. Additionally, sales to Lacewood International Corp, an entity that is commonly controlled by the owners of Maxtek representing business in Hong Kong and China, were approximately 14% of our sales for the first nine months of fiscal year 2004, and 21% in the prior year period.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2004, we received $11.6 million from the exercise of stock options.

In September 2001, we announced a stock repurchase program, which authorized the purchase, from time to time, of 2.0 million shares of our common stock on the market. In October 2002, we announced that our board of directors approved an increase in the number of shares to be repurchased under this repurchase program to 3.0 million. As of March 27, 2004, we had repurchased 2.1 million shares for $45.5 million.

On January 4, 2002, we acquired MNC, net of cash, for $74.9 million. We believe that by acquiring MNC we now have access to technology that will broaden our offering of silicon timing products to strengthen our position within strategic markets such as servers, storage systems and communications. The purchase price includes $5.6 million in purchase accounting liabilities. Of the total amount recorded, $1.2 million represents costs associated with closing office and production facilities and employee relocation costs, $2.0 million represents severance and other personnel costs, and $2.4 million represents the net book value of property and equipment identified for disposal, net of estimated sales proceeds. We expect to complete the restructuring by the end of fiscal year 2004. As of March 27, 2004, we have expended approximately $0.8 million and $2.0 million of this reserve relating to facility closing costs and severance, respectively. Approximately $11,000 of the remaining amount relates to severance and other personnel costs, which will be paid in fiscal year 2004, and the remaining relates to facility closing costs. During the third quarter of fiscal 2004 we utilized $0.1 million of the reserve for both severance and facility closing costs. This reserve is included in “Accrued expense and other current liabilities” in the Balance Sheet. The results of MNC have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.

On March 1, 2004 we entered into a revolving credit loan agreement, which will terminate March 1, 2007. The revolving credit loan agreement allows us to draw down to a maximum balance of $20.0 million in increments of not less than $500,000. At our option, the unpaid balance shall bear interest at the available LIBOR Based Rate (as defined) or the Prime Based Rate (as defined). A commitment fee on the average daily-unused portion of the revolving credit loan balance will be due and payable on a quarterly basis. The commitment fee will be between .20% (.0020) and .25% (.0025) based on the funded debt to EBITDA ratio calculated the previous quarter. There was no outstanding balance on our revolving credit loan agreement as of March 27, 2004.

The following summarizes our significant contractual obligations and commitments as of March 27, 2004 (in thousands):

Operating leases primarily consist of leased facilities that we utilize in various locations.

Our revolving credit loan agreement requires the maintenance of specified financial ratios, including a fixed charge coverage ratio, a funded debt to EBITDA ratio, a liquidity ratio, a minimum tangible net worth, and imposes financial limitations. At March 27, 2004, we were in compliance with the covenants.

We believe that the funds on hand together with funds expected to be generated from our operations as well as borrowings under our bank revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. Thereafter, we may need to raise additional funds in future periods to fund our operations and potential acquisitions if any. We may also consider conducting future equity or debt financings if we perceive an opportunity to access the capital markets on a favorable basis, within the next twelve months or thereafter. Any such additional financing, if needed, might not be available on reasonable terms or at all. Failure to raise capital when needed could seriously harm our business and results of operations. If additional funds were raised through the issuance of equity securities or convertible debt securities, the percentage of ownership of our shareholders would be reduced. Furthermore, such equity securities or convertible debt securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock.

Foreign Currency Exposures

Our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars and accordingly, we do not use forward exchange contracts to hedge exposures denominated in foreign currencies or any other derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The effect of an immediate 10% change in exchange rates would not have a material impact on our future operating results or cash flows.

The company had interest expense of $0.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2004. The potential increase in interest expense for the first nine months of fiscal year 2004 from hypothetical 2% adverse change in variable interest rates would be less than $50,000.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 27, 2004, the Company’s president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer (principal executive officer and principal financial officer) have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and are operating in an effective manner.

Changes in internal controls. There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 27, 2004 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
