NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) – OCTOBER 1, 2011

(AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month period ended October 1, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events and determined that there were no subsequent events to recognize or disclose in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Changes to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.

In May 2011, the FASB issued new guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure requirements. The guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value to ensure fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. Adoption of this guidance, effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance on the presentation of other comprehensive income (OCI). This guidance requires presentation of the components of net income and OCI either as one continuous statement or as two consecutive statements. It eliminates the option to present the components of OCI as part of the statement of stockholders’ equity. Adoption of this guidance, effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

INCOME TAXES

The Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a benefit or provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes in income tax expense. No unrecognized tax benefits, interest or penalties were accrued at October 1, 2011. The Company’s U.S. federal net operating losses have occurred since 1998 and as such, tax years subject to potential tax examination could apply from that date because carrying-back net operating loss opens the relevant year to audit.

WARRANTY

Based on the examination of historical returns and other information it deems critical, the Company estimates that a current charge to income will need to be provided in order to cover future warranty obligations for products sold during the year. The accrued liability for warranty costs is included in Accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the Company’s product warranty reserve are as follows:

	Nine months ended
	October 1, 2011			October 2, 2010

Beginning balance		571			994
Additions charged to costs and expenses		557			540
Claims processed		(780	)		(744	)
Ending balance		348			790

2. RESTRUCTURING, MANAGEMENT SEPARATION CHARGES, AND IMPAIRMENT RECOVERY

RESTRUCTURING

In May 2011, the Company implemented a workforce reduction that eliminated approximately 40 positions, resulting in a Restructuring charge of $1,047 for severance and related benefits during the second quarter of 2011. The unpaid balance at October 1, 2011 was $83 and was recorded within Accrued restructuring costs.

MANAGEMENT SEPARATION CHARGES

During the first quarter of 2011, the Company recorded certain management separation charges of $838 and $2,111, inclusive of accelerated stock-based compensation of $568 and $116, within Research and development and Selling and administrative expenses, respectively. The management separation charges arose from the resignations of our former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and another Executive Officer, and included contractual separation pay, accelerated vesting of certain equity awards, and certain other costs. The unpaid balance at October 1, 2011 was $17 and was recorded within Accrued liabilities.

IMPAIRMENT RECOVERY

During the second quarter of 2010, the Company sold its wafer fabrication building in Kunshan, China for net proceeds of $1,717, resulting in the partial recovery of a related impairment charge. During 2008, the Company had written-off the value of its unfinished wafer fabrication building following an evaluation of alternatives in light of the then current circumstances, including: surplus industry production capacity, reduced demand experienced by the Company as well as the broader macroeconomic environment. As a result of its analysis of projected discounted cashflows, the Company recorded a $12,957 impairment charge in 2008 related to the China wafer fabrication facility.

3. (LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE

The reconciliation of shares used to calculate basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share consists of the following:

	Three months ended				Nine months ended
	October 1, 2011		October 2, 2010		October 1, 2011		October 2, 2010
Weighted average common shares for basic (loss) earnings per share		67,997		65,320		67,550		64,808

Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock options (*)		-		1,579		-		-
Unvested restricted shares (*)		-		589		-		-

Adjusted weighted average shares for diluted (loss) earnings per share		67,997		67,488		67,550		64,808

*	Incremental shares from restricted shares and stock options are computed using the treasury stock method.

For the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010, potential additional dilution arising from any of the Company's outstanding stock options or unvested restricted stock (shares or units) are detailed below. Such potential dilution was excluded as their effect was anti-dilutive.

	Three months ended				Nine months ended
	October 1, 2011		October 2, 2010		October 1, 2011		October 2, 2010

Stock options		4,937		1,760		4,937		4,640
Unvested restricted shares and units		2,353		160		2,353		1,811

4. FAIR VALUE AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). Inputs used to measure fair value are classified in the following hierarchy:

Level 1	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability

Level 3	Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

The Company endeavors to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table presents a summary of fair value information for available-for-sale securities as at December 31, 2010 and October 1, 2011:

					Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
Security Type	Amortized Cost Basis (1)		Fair Value		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Former-auction corporate debt security (2)	$	1,624	$	2,960	$	2,960	$	-	$	-

Total at October 1, 2011	$	54,185	$	57,008	$	50,719	$	4,217	$	2,072

(1)	Difference between amortized cost basis and fair value represents gross unrealized gain or loss.

(2)	Available for sale debt securities with contractual maturities in excess of 10 years.

(3)	Available for sale debt securities with contractual maturities of 2 years or less.

The fair value of each of the following instruments approximates their carrying value because of the short maturity of these instruments: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

AUCTION RATE SECURITIES AND FORMER-AUCTION CORPORATE DEBT SECURITY

Auction rate securities (ARS) are generally long-term financial instruments that provided liquidity through a Dutch auction process that resets the applicable interest rate at pre-determined calendar intervals, generally every 28 days. The mechanism generally allowed existing investors to rollover their holdings while continuing to own their respective securities or liquidating their holdings by selling their securities at par value. The Company generally invested in these securities for short periods of time as part of its cash management program. During the second half of 2007 and the first quarter of 2008, auction rate corporate, state and municipal debt, and preferred securities failed to auction due to sell orders exceeding buy orders and trading continues to be constrained. The funds associated with the failed auctions will not be accessible until a successful auction occurs, a suitable buyer is found outside of the auction process or an issuer redeems its security.

At October 1, 2011, ARS market information in certain cases was insufficient to determine the fair value of the Company’s investments in ARS. Given the complexity of ARS investments, the Company obtained the assistance of an independent valuation firm to assist management in assessing the fair value of its ARS portfolio. The third party valuations developed to estimate the ARS fair value were determined using a combination of two calculations (1) a discounted cash flow model, where the expected cash flows of the ARS are discounted to the present using a yield that incorporates compensation for illiquidity, and (2) a market comparables method, where the ARS are valued based on indications, from the secondary market, of what discounts buyers demand when purchasing similar ARS. The valuations include numerous assumptions such as assessments of the underlying structure of each security, expected cash flows, discount rates, credit ratings, workout periods, and overall capital market liquidity.

During 2008, a corporate debt ARS position with a face value of $4,000 was exchanged for the underlying 30 year notes due 2037 (former-auction corporate debt security). At October 1, 2011, the Company values this security on a Level 1 basis, with a fair value of $2,850. Interest income of $44 and $136 was recognized to accrete the amortized cost basis of the Company’s existing and former-auction debt securities during the three and nine month periods ended October 1, 2011, respectively. In 2010, interest accretion of $392 was recorded in the fourth quarter.

The Company considers it more likely than not that it will sell its existing and former-auction debt securities prior to a recovery in valuation.

For the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, the table below provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for each type of security valued using a Level 3 valuation.

(a) Security represents an interest in pooled student loans that are guaranteed by the Federal Family Education Loan Program.

(b) Security issued by a publicly-held insurance company trust, which holds investments in U.S. Government obligations, highly rated commercial paper and money market funds and other investments approved by two credit rating agencies. The trust is funded by life insurance residuals. If the residuals are insufficient, the security becomes an obligation of the publicly-held insurance company.

(c) Preferred securities issued by i) diversified closed-end management investment company and ii) subsidiaries of two publicly-held debt default insurers. The investment company is governed by the Investment Company Act of 1940 with regard to operating standards, antifraud rules, diversification requirements and an asset coverage requirement for asset backing of 200% of the par value of the preferred stock issued. One of the debt default insurers no longer pays interest and the security has been written to zero.

(d) In the second quarter of 2011, the Company transferred its state and municipal debt security and closed-end preferred security from Level 3 to Level 2 after having assessed external valuations and observing sustained trading in similar securities.

For the three and nine month period ended October 2, 2010, the table below provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for each type of security valued using a Level 3 valuation.

6. BENEFIT FROM INCOME TAXES

The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 included the partial refund of certain carried-forward Research and Experimental (R&E) tax credits. During the three month period ended October 2, 2010, the Company finalized and filed the R&E claim as part of its 2009 federal tax return and subsequently received cash of $297 for the R&E credits. Such refund was recorded as a benefit from income taxes during the third quarter of 2010.

7. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Equity Compensation Plans

The Company had 4 equity compensation plans under which equity securities are authorized for issuance to employees and/or directors:

§	The 1995 Long-Term Incentive and Share Award Plan for Officers and Directors (terminated February 28, 2005) (1995 Plan);

§	The 1997 Long Term Incentive and Share Award Plan (1997 Plan);

§	The 2005 Long Term Incentive and Share Award Plan (2005 Plan, collectively with the 1995 Plan and the 1997 Plan, the Plans); and

§	The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESP Plan).

Employees and outside directors have been granted restricted stock shares or units (collectively, restricted stock) and options to purchase shares of common stock under stock option plans adopted in 1995, 1997 and 2005. An aggregate of 4,913, 5,100 and 16,050 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 1995 Plan, the 1997 Plan and the 2005 Plan, respectively. The Plans provide for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and other share based awards to eligible employees and directors, as defined in the Plans. Option grants have terms of ten years and become exercisable in varying amounts over periods of up to three years. To date, no stock appreciation rights have been granted under the Plans. On February 1, 2009, a CEO inducement award of 700 stock options was granted outside of the Plans and the unvested portion of that award contractually vested upon separation on March 28, 2011.

In 1995, the Company adopted the ESP Plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. All full-time employees of ANADIGICS, Inc. and part-time employees, as defined in the ESP Plan, are eligible to participate in the ESP Plan. An aggregate of 6,694 shares of common stock were reserved for offering under the ESP Plan. Offerings are made at the commencement of each calendar year and must be purchased by the end of that calendar year. Pursuant to the terms of the ESP Plan, shares purchased and the applicable per share price were 488 and $3.83, respectively for the year ended December 31, 2010.

No tax benefits have been recorded due to the Company’s full valuation allowance position.

Stock based compensation for the nine months ended October 1, 2011 includes $684 for equity awards associated with the management separation charge recorded during the first quarter of 2011.

Restricted Stock and Stock Option Awards

The value of restricted stock grants are fixed upon the date of grant and amortized over the related vesting period of six months to three years. Restricted stock is subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to vesting. The Company estimates that approximately 2.5% of its restricted stock and stock option awards are forfeited annually (exclusive of LTI’s, as described below). The restricted stock shares carry voting and certain forfeitable dividend rights commencing upon grant, whereas restricted stock units do not. Neither restricted stock shares nor restricted stock units may be traded or transferred prior to vesting. Grant, vest and forfeit activity and related weighted average (WA) price per share for restricted stock and for stock options during the period from January 1, 2010 to October 1, 2011 is presented in tabular form below:

	Restricted Stock Shares					Restricted Stock Units					Stock Options
	Shares			WA price/ share		Units			WA price/ unit		Issuable upon exercise			WA exercise price

Outstanding at January 1, 2010		638		$	9.90		828		$	3.36		5,307		$	5.32

Balance at October 1, 2011		-			-		2,353		$	5.48		4,937		$	4.50

In June 2011, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer were awarded a base grant of 417 long-term incentive (LTI) stock options contingent upon the Company’s shareholder return performance against the performance of the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index component companies. The award and performance will be evaluated annually in one-third increments measuring Company shareholder returns during the one, two and three year periods following the award. Depending upon performance, the number of shares issuable pursuant to the LTI stock options can range from 50% to 150% of the base option shares. Company performance below the 25th-percentile in a measurement period would result in no vesting for that period. The LTI stock options have an exercise price of $3.24, a ten year term to expiration, and an average fair value of $2.62. The fair value estimate was calculated with the assistance of a valuation consultant using a Monte Carlo Simulation model.

Stock based compensation for the nine months ended October 1, 2011 includes $684 for equity awards associated with the management separation charge recorded during the nine months ended October 1, 2011.

	As of October 1, 2011

Unrecognized stock based compensation cost
Option plans	$	2,358
Restricted stock	$	9,652
Weighted average remaining recognition period
Option plans	2.1 years
Restricted stock	2.2 years

Stock options outstanding at October 1, 2011 are summarized as follows:

Range of exercise prices		Outstanding Options at October 1, 2011		Weighted average remaining contractual life		Weighted average exercise price		Exercisable at October 1, 2011		Weighted average exercise price

$	1.39 - $2.03		2,055		3.3	$	1.99		1,876	$	1.99

Valuation Method for ESP Plan and Stock Option Awards

The fair value of these equity awards was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average assumptions and fair values for stock based compensation grants used for the nine month periods ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010 were (excludes the aforementioned LTI option grants):

	Nine months ended
	October 1, 2011			October 2, 2010
Stock option awards:
Risk-free interest rate		2.2	%		2.6	%
Expected volatility		65	%		85	%
Average expected term (in years)		5.0			5.0
Expected dividend yield		0.0	%		0.0	%
Weighted average fair value of options granted	$	1.85		$	3.26

ESP Plan:
Risk-free interest rate		0.1	%		0.3	%
Expected volatility		61	%		61	%
Average expected term (in years)		1.0			1.0
Expected dividend yield		0.0	%		0.0	%
Weighted average fair value of purchase option	$	0.75		$	1.44

For equity awards with expected terms of greater than one year, the assumption for expected volatility is based on a combination of implied and historical volatility, whereas for equity awards with an expected term of one year or less, the assumption is solely based on the Company’s historical volatility.

8. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On or about November 11, 2008, plaintiff Charlie Attias filed a putative securities class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, captioned Charlie Attias v. Anadigics, Inc., et al., No. 3:08-cv-05572, and, on or about November 21, 2008, plaintiff Paul Kuznetz filed a related class action lawsuit in the same court, captioned Paul J. Kuznetz v. Anadigics, Inc., et al., No. 3:08-cv-05750 (jointly, the "Class Actions"). The Complaints in the Class Actions, which were consolidated under the caption In re Anadigics, Inc. Securities Litigation, No. 3:08-cv-05572, by an Order of the District Court dated November 24, 2008, seek unspecified damages for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, in connection with alleged misrepresentations and omissions in connection with, among other things, Anadigics's manufacturing capabilities and the demand for its products. On October 23, 2009, plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint, (the “First Amended Complaint”), which names the Company, a current officer and a former officer-director, and alleges a proposed class period that runs from July 24, 2007 through August 7, 2008. On December 23, 2009, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the First Amended Complaint; that motion was fully briefed as of March 30, 2010. After holding extensive oral argument on defendants' motion on August 3, 2010, the District Court found plaintiffs' First Amended Complaint to be deficient, but afforded them another opportunity to amend their pleading. The District Court therefore denied defendants' motion to dismiss without prejudice to defendants' renewing the motion in response to plaintiffs' Second Amended Complaint, which plaintiffs filed on October 4, 2010. The Second Amended Complaint, which contains the same substantive claims that were alleged in the First Amended Complaint, alleges a proposed class period that runs from February 12, 2008 through August 7, 2008. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on December 3, 2010. By an Opinion and an Order dated September 30, 2011, the District Court dismissed with prejudice plaintiffs' Second Amended Complaint. On October 27, 2011, plaintiffs filed with the District Court a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit from the District Court's September 30, 2011 Opinion and Order.

On or about January 14, 2009, a shareholder's derivative lawsuit, captioned Sicari v. Anadigics, Inc., et al., No. SOM-L-88-09, was filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey, and, on or about February 2, 2009, a related shareholder's derivative lawsuit, captioned Moradzadeh v. Anadigics, Inc., et al., No. SOM-L-198-09, was filed in the same court (jointly, the "Derivative Lawsuits"). The Derivative Lawsuits seek unspecified damages for alleged state law claims against certain of the Company's current and former directors arising out of the matters at issue in the Class Actions. By Order dated March 6, 2009, the New Jersey Superior Court consolidated the Derivative Lawsuits under the caption In re Anadigics, Inc. Derivative Litigation, No. SOM-L-88-09. By Order dated March 27, 2009, the Superior Court stayed the Derivative Lawsuits pending disposition of the defendants' motion to dismiss the First Amended Complaint in the Class Actions. By Order dated September 13, 2010, the Superior Court extended the stay of the Derivative Lawsuits until the disposition of defendants' motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint in the Class Actions.

Because the Class Actions and the Derivative Lawsuits, which are in a preliminary stage, do not specify alleged monetary damages, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate a possible range of loss, if any, to the Company in connection therewith.

The Company is also a party to ordinary course litigation arising out of the operation of our business. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of such ordinary course litigation should not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

ANADIGICS, Inc. (“we” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of semiconductor solutions in the growing broadband wireless and wireline communications markets. Our products include radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers (PAs), tuner integrated circuits, active splitters, line amplifiers and other components, which can be sold individually or packaged as integrated front end modules (FEMs). We believe that we are well-positioned to capitalize on the high growth and convergence occurring in the voice, data and video segments of the broadband wireless and wireline communications markets.

Our RF power amplifier products enable mobile handsets, datacards and other devices to access third generation (3G) wireless networks utilizing international standards including WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), HSPA (High Speed Packet Access), CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) and EVDO (Evolution Data Optimized). Further, we provide RF power amplifiers for the advanced fourth generation (4G) wireless services including LTE (Long Term Evolution) and WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access). Our WiFi products enable connectivity for wireless mobile devices and other computing devices and our CATV (Cable Television) products enable fixed-point, wireline broadband communications over cable modem and set-top box products, CATV infrastructure and Fiber-To-The-Premises (FTTP).

Our business strategy focuses on enabling anytime, anywhere connectivity which enhances the consumer’s broadband and wireless experience. We develop RF front end solutions for communications equipment manufacturers and we partner with industry-leading wireless and wireline chipset providers who incorporate our solutions into their reference designs. Our solutions cost-effectively enhance communications devices by improving RF performance, efficiency, reliability, time-to-market and integration while reducing the size, weight and cost of these products.

We focus on leveraging our technological knowledge and advantages to be a leading technology-enabler via innovative semiconductor solutions for broadband wireless and wireline communications. We believe our patented InGaP-plus technology, which combines bipolar amplifying structures and pHEMT RF switches on the same die, provides us with a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Additionally, we believe proprietary designs of our HELP™ (High Efficiency at Low Power) power amplifiers provide our customers a technical advantage by delivering performance required for 3G and 4G devices with lower battery power consumption and longer use time than comparable products in these markets.

Revenue during the third quarter of 2011 increased in comparison to the second quarter of 2011 principally due to increased wireless product demand which more than offset reductions at one of our largest wireless customers. Our decline in revenue from that customer began in the second quarter of 2011 and resulted from certain of their programs reaching end of life and a loss in market share related to the customer’s change in chipset suppliers that do not utilize our power amplifiers.

We believe our markets are, and will continue to remain, competitive which could result in continued quarterly volatility in our net sales. This competition has resulted in, and is expected over the long-term to continue to result in competitive or declining average selling prices for our products and increased challenges in maintaining or increasing market share.

We were incorporated in Delaware in 1984. Our corporate headquarters are located at 141 Mt. Bethel Road, Warren, New Jersey 07059, and our telephone number at that address is 908-668-5000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth unaudited consolidated statements of operations data as a percent of net sales for the periods presented:

	Three months ended						Nine months ended
	October 1, 2011			October 2, 2010			October 1, 2011			October 2, 2010

Net sales		100.0	%		100.0	%		100.0	%		100.0	%

Net (loss) income		(26.9	)%		3.7	%		(29.0	%)		(1.3	)%

NET SALES. Net sales decreased 39.2% during the third quarter of 2011 to $37.3 million from $61.3 million in the third quarter of 2010. For the nine months ended October 1, 2011, net sales were $116.3 million, a 25.7% decrease from net sales of $156.5 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2010.

Sales of integrated circuits for wireless applications decreased 38.3% during the third quarter of 2011 to $27.9 million from $45.2 million in the third quarter of 2010. For the nine months ended October 1, 2011, net sales of integrated circuits for wireless applications decreased 21.2% to $89.7 million from $113.9 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2010. These decreases in sales were primarily due to decreased demand in our WCDMA cellular device markets.

Sales of integrated circuits for broadband applications decreased 41.8% during the third quarter of 2011 to $9.3 million from $16.1 million in the third quarter of 2010. For the nine months ended October 1, 2011, net sales of integrated circuits for broadband applications decreased 37.6% to $26.6 million from $42.6 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2010. These decreases in sales were primarily due to decreased demand from cable set-top box and WiMax applications.

GROSS MARGIN. Gross margin during the third quarter of 2011 decreased to 18.9% of net sales from 36.3% of net sales in the third quarter of 2010. For the nine months ended October 1, 2011, gross margin decreased to 22.1% from 34.2% for the nine months ended October 2, 2010. These decreases in gross margin were primarily due to lower production and sales volume and a concentration of fixed costs as a percent of smaller revenues.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Company-sponsored research and development expenses decreased 25.4% during the third quarter of 2011 to $9.9 million from $13.3 million during the third quarter of 2010. Company sponsored research and development expenses for the nine month period ended October 1, 2011 decreased 6.6% to $34.9 million from $37.3 million during the nine month period ended October 2, 2010. The decreases arose from the third quarter comparison and resulted from improved controls over our key projects and lower stock-based compensation and recruitment expense.

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling and administrative expenses increased 3.7% during the third quarter of 2011 to $7.4 million from $7.1 million during the third quarter of 2010, principally due to increased stock compensation. Selling and administrative expenses for the nine month period ended October 1, 2011 increased 15.0% to $24.1 million from $21.0 million during the nine month period ended October 2, 2010. A management separation charge of $2.1 million is included in the first quarter of 2011.

RESTRUCTURING AND IMPAIRMENT (RECOVERY) CHARGES. During the second quarter of 2011, we implemented workforce reductions, which eliminated approximately 40 positions, resulting in a restructuring charge of $1.0 million for severance and related benefits. During the second quarter of 2010, we sold the wafer fabrication building in Kunshan, China which had been fully written-off in 2008. The sale resulted in a net recovery of $1.7 million.

BENEFIT FROM INCOME TAXES. The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 included the partial refund of certain carried-forward Research and Experimental (R&E) tax credits. During the third quarter of 2010, the Company finalized and filed its R&E claims as part of its 2009 Federal tax return and subsequently received cash of $0.3 million. Such refund was recorded as a benefit from income taxes during the third quarter of 2010.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of October 1, 2011, we had $43.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $57.0 million in short and long-term marketable securities.

Operating activities used $2.0 million in cash during the nine month period ended October 1, 2011, primarily as a result of our operating results adjusted for non-cash expenses, offset by $9.7 million of cash generated by reducing working capital. Investing activities, consisting principally of net purchases of marketable securities of $48.0 million and purchases of fixed assets of $4.2 million, used $51.9 million of cash during the nine month period ended October 1, 2011. Financing activities provided $0.3 million of cash proceeds received from stock option exercises.

We had unconditional purchase obligations at October 1, 2011 of approximately $2.7 million.

Within our $57.0 million in marketable securities at October 1, 2011, we held a total of $37.7 million of fixed income securities, $10.2 million of U.S. government agency debt securities, $6.3 million of auction rate securities (ARS), and $2.8 million as a former-auction corporate debt security originally purchased as an ARS prior to its exchange for the underlying 30 year notes due 2037. ARS are generally financial instruments of long-term duration with interest rates that are reset in short intervals through auctions. During the second half of 2007 and first quarter of 2008, auction rate corporate, state and municipal debt, and preferred securities failed to auction due to sell orders exceeding buy orders. When there is insufficient demand for the securities at the time of an auction and the auction is not completed, the interest rates reset to predetermined higher rates (default rates). While certain issuers have redeemed certain of their ARS since 2008, the market remains constrained by illiquidity and the lack of free trading. The funds associated with the remaining failed auctions will not be accessible until a successful auction occurs, a suitable buyer is found outside of the auction process or an issuer redeems its security. If the credit ratings of the security issuers deteriorate and any decline in market value below our amortized cost basis is determined to be other-than-temporary, we would be required to adjust the carrying value of the investment through an additional impairment charge.

We anticipate selling the existing and former-auction corporate debt securities prior to a recovery in valuation. We will continue to monitor and evaluate these investments for impairment and for short term classification purposes. We may not be able to access cash by selling the aforementioned debt or preferred securities without the loss of principal until a buyer is located, a future auction for these investments is successful, they are redeemed by their issuers or they mature. If we are unable to sell these securities in the market or they are not redeemed, then we may be required to hold them to maturity or in perpetuity for the preferred ARS. Based on our ability to access our cash, our expected operating cash flows, and our other sources of cash, we do not anticipate that the potential illiquidity of these investments will affect our ability to execute our current business plan.

We believe that our existing sources of capital, including our existing cash and marketable securities, will be adequate to satisfy operational needs and anticipated capital needs for at least the next twelve months. We may elect to finance all or part of our future capital requirements through additional equity or debt financing.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains projections and other forward-looking statements (as that term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). These projections and forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance and can generally be identified as such because the context of the statement will include words such as “believe”, “anticipate”, “expect”, or words of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our future plans, objectives, estimates or goals are forward-looking statements. No assurances can be given, however, that these events will occur or that these projections will be achieved, and actual results and developments could differ materially from those projected as a result of certain factors. Such factors include, but are not limited to, those risk factors listed in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's market risk has not changed significantly for the risks disclosed in Item 7A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of October 1, 2011, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our Management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of October 1, 2011.

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

Because of their inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Except as supplemented by the third paragraph below, there have been no changes to the risk factors noted in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

“We face risks from failures in our manufacturing processes and the processes of our vendors.

The fabrication of integrated circuits, particularly those made of GaAs, is a highly complex and precise process. Our integrated circuits are primarily manufactured on wafers made of gallium arsenide (GaAs) requiring multiple process steps. It requires production in a highly controlled, clean environment. Minor impurities, contamination of the clean room environment, errors in any step of the fabrication process, defects in the masks used to print circuits on a wafer, defects in equipment or materials, downtime on equipment, human error, interruptions in electrical supply or a number of other factors can cause a substantial interruption in our manufacturing processes. Moreover, our manufacturing process is subject to fluctuations in our demand and fab utilization. In an environment of increasing manufacturing output and personnel to satisfy increasing demand, we may incur manufacturing disruptions limiting supply to customers.

Additionally, our operations may be affected by lengthy or recurring disruptions of operations at our production facility or those of our subcontractors. These disruptions may include electrical power outages, fire, earthquakes, flooding, international conflicts, war, acts of terrorism, or other natural or man-made disasters. Disruptions of our manufacturing operations could cause significant delays in our shipments unless and until we are able to shift the manufacturing of such products from an affected facility to another facility or the disruption is remedied. Furthermore, many of our customers require that they qualify a new manufacturing source before they will accept products from such source. This qualification process may be expensive and time consuming. In the event of such delays, we cannot assure you that the required alternative capacity would be available on a timely basis or at all. Even if alternative manufacturing capacity or assembly and test capacity is available, we may not be able to obtain it on favorable terms, which could result in higher costs and/or a loss of customers. We may be unable to obtain sufficient manufacturing capacity to meet demand, either at our own facilities or through external manufacturing.

We have a subcontractor relationship with a qualified broadband assembly supplier located in the recent flood zone in Thailand whose operations have been suspended as a result of the unprecedented floods. We, together with our subcontractor and customers for those broadband products are working together to undertake recovery efforts for inventory and equipment and to qualify alternate subcontractor supply. In the event we are unable to supply our customers with the broadband components previously assembled by our subcontractor on a timely basis, such customers may seek alternative suppliers. In addition, the flooding has caused damage to a number of other manufacturing and assembly facilities in Thailand which may manufacture and assemble components for our wireless and broadband customers. The failure of such customers to obtain the components necessary for the manufacture of their products, could cause a delay or reduction in orders for our broadband and wireless products, regardless of our ability to make timely delivery of our components.

Due to the highly specialized nature of the gallium arsenide integrated circuit manufacturing process, in the event of a disruption at the Warren, New Jersey semiconductor wafer fab, alternative gallium arsenide production capacity for certain processes would not be readily available from third-party sources. Any disruptions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We also depend on certain vendors for components, equipment and services. We maintain stringent policies regarding qualification of these vendors. However, if these vendors’ processes vary in reliability or quality, they could negatively affect our products, and thereby, our results of operations."
