NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) – MARCH 31, 2012

(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 month period ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011 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, 2011.

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, other than the workforce reduction disclosed in Note 2, 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 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. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June and December 2011, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of other comprehensive income (OCI). This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of OCI as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and also requires presentation of reclassification adjustments from OCI to net income on the face of the financial statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with the exception of the requirement to present reclassification adjustments from OCI to net income on the face of the financial statements, which has been deferred pending further deliberation by the FASB. Adoption of this guidance did not 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 March 31, 2012. 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:

	Three months ended
	March 31, 2012			April 2, 2011

Beginning balance		430			571
Additions charged to costs and expenses		420			151
Claims processed		(426	)		(365	)
Ending balance		424			357

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

2. RESTRUCTURING, MANAGEMENT SEPARATION CHARGES AND SUBSEQUENT EVENT

RESTRUCTURING

In late February 2012, the Company implemented a workforce reduction at a sales support office, which eliminated five positions and resulted in a restructuring charge of $494 for severance, related benefits and other costs. The unpaid balance at March 31, 2012 was $377 and was recorded within Accrued restructuring costs.

MANAGEMENT SEPARATION CHARGES

During the three months ended April 2, 2011, the Company recorded certain management separation charges of $838 and $2,111 within research and development and selling and administrative expenses, respectively, and is inclusive of accelerated stock-based compensation of $684. 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.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In April 2012, the Company implemented a workforce reduction that eliminated approximately 25 positions, primarily in manufacturing and selling and administrative, and anticipates recording approximately $1.2 million of restructuring charges during the second quarter of 2012 covering severance, related benefits and other costs.

3. LOSS PER SHARE

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

	Three months ended
	March 31, 2012		April 2, 2011
Weighted average common shares for basic loss per share		69,669		67,037

Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock options (*)		-		-
Unvested restricted shares (*)		-		-

Adjusted weighted average shares for diluted loss per share		69,669		67,037

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

For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and April 2, 2011, 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
	March 31, 2012		April 2, 2011

Stock options		3,571		3,954
Unvested restricted shares and units		1,899		3,045

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, 2011 and March 31, 2012:

					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)
Fixed Income Securities (2)	$	32,574	$	32,532	$	32,532	$	-	$	-

Total at March 31, 2012	$	56,315	$	59,162	$	53,760	$	3,979	$	1,423

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

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

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

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.

Interest income of $31 and $46 was recognized to accrete the amortized cost basis of the Company’s existing and former-auction debt securities during the three month period ended March 31, 2012 and April 2, 2011, respectively.

AUCTION RATE SECURITIES AND FORMER-AUCTION CORPORATE DEBT SECURITY

Auction rate securities (ARS) were a short-term cash management instrument used by the market and the Company prior to 2008. The instruments used a monthly Dutch auction process to provide liquidity on long-term financial instruments that reset the applicable interest rate and through the reset, allowed existing investors to rollover or liquidate their holdings at par value. During 2007 and early 2008, ARS 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. The Company considers it more likely than not that it will sell their marketable debt securities prior to a recovery in valuation.

At March 31, 2012, certain ARS market information was insufficient to determine the fair value of the Company’s investments in ARS resulting in Level 3 valuations. 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.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, 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 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 $2,500 face value security was redeemed by the issuer at a discount in the first quarter of 2012 for $2,013, resulting in a gain over its amortized cost basis of $1,250.

(b) Preferred securities issued by subsidiaries of two publicly-held debt default insurers. One of the debt default insurers ceased paying interest in 2009 and the security was written to zero.

For the three month period ended April 2, 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. In the second quarter of 2011, the Company transferred its state and municipal debt security from Level 3 to Level 2 after having assessed external valuations and observing sustained trading in similar securities.

(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.

(c) Preferred securities issued by i) a 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. In the second quarter of 2011, the Company transferred its closed-end preferred security from Level 3 to Level 2 after having assessed external valuations and observing sustained trading in similar securities. One of the debt default insurers ceased paying interest in 2009 and the security was written to zero.

5. INVENTORIES

6. 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 (terminated February 28, 2005) (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 384 and $2.00, respectively for the year ended December 31, 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 five 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, 2011 to March 31, 2012 is presented in tabular form below:

(1)	Year 2011 stock options granted include 417 performance stock option shares

(2)	Year 2011 stock options forfeited include 167 performance stock option shares

In June 2011, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer were awarded a base grant of 417 long-term incentive stock options (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. During the fourth quarter of 2011, 167 shares of the 417 LTI stock options were forfeited upon the separation of our former Chief Financial Officer.

On February 16, 2012, subject to stockholder approval of additional 2005 Long-Term Incentive and Share Award Plan shares at the Company’s 2013 Annual Stockholder Meeting, the Company awarded 260 restricted stock units to two of its officers. 50% of the restricted stock units will have time-based vesting conditions (time-based) and 50% will have performance-based vesting conditions (performance-based). The time-based restricted stock units will vest 1/3rd on May 20, 2013, 1/3rd on February 18, 2014 and 1/3rd on February 18, 2015. The performance-based restricted stock units will vest based on absolute total stockholder return for one-year, two-year and three-year periods starting from the baseline date of December 31, 2011, compared to total stockholder return targets for each of the respective periods. In May, 2012, subject to stockholder approval at the Company's 2013 Annual Stockholder Meeting, an additional 608 time-based and 105 performance-based restrictive stock units were awarded to employees of the Company. These restricted stock units will vest consistent with the aforementioned officer awards. Due to the uncertainty of the 2013 shareholder approval vote, neither compensation expense nor inclusion in disclosure tables for these awards is reported herein.

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 three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and April 2, 2011 were:

	Three months ended
	March 31, 2012			April 2, 2011
Stock option awards:
Risk-free interest rate		1.0	%		2.2	%
Expected volatility		70	%		65	%
Average expected term (in years)		5.0			5.0
Expected dividend yield		0.0	%		0.0	%
Weighted average fair value of options granted	$	1.53		$	3.79

ESP Plan:
Risk-free interest rate		0.2	%		0.3	%
Expected volatility		65	%		62	%
Average expected term (in years)		1.0			1.0
Expected dividend yield		0.0	%		0.0	%
Weighted average fair value of purchase option	$	0.80		$	1.50

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

7. 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. The appeal is pending.

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 and fourth generation (3G and 4G) wireless networks utilizing international standards including LTE (Long Term Evolution), WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), HSPA (High Speed Packet Access), CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) EVDO (Evolution Data Optimized) and WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access). Our WiFi products enable connectivity for wireless mobile devices and other computing devices. Our CATV (Cable Television) products enable fixed-point, wireline broadband communications over CATV infrastructure as well as cable modem and set-top box products. Our Wireless infrastructure products support operator commitments worldwide to optimize the increasing demands for subscriber data through deployment of new small-cell base stations as part of a heterogeneous network.

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 leverage 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, coupled with our three level metal interconnect process provides us with a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Additionally, we believe proprietary designs of our HELP™ (High Efficiency at Low Power) power amplifiers when combined with higher efficiency at high output power provide our customers a competitive 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 first quarter of 2012 declined in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2011 principally due to seasonal wireless product demand reductions and a decrease in demand from our former largest customer resulting from certain of such customer’s 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.

In late February 2012, the Company implemented a workforce reduction at a sales support office, which eliminated five positions and resulted in a restructuring charge of $494. We expect the annualized cost savings from this restructuring to approximate $1.0 million. In April 2012, we reduced our workforce by approximately 25 employees, primarily in manufacturing and selling and administrative. We anticipate recording approximately $1.2 million as a restructuring charge during the second quarter of 2012 and expect the annualized cost savings from this restructuring to approximate $3.0 million.

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.

FIRST QUARTER 2012 (ENDED MARCH 31, 2012) COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 2011 (ENDED APRIL 2, 2011)

NET SALES. Net sales decreased 34.6% during the first quarter of 2012 to $28.4 million from $43.5 million in the first quarter of 2011. The net sales decrease primarily resulted from a decrease in market demand in the wireless cellular device market.

Sales of integrated circuits for wireless applications decreased 41.8% during the first quarter of 2012 to $21.0 million from $36.2 million in the first quarter of 2011. The decrease in sales was primarily due to decreased demand from our former largest customers due to certain products reaching end of life and their change in chipset providers that do not utilize our power amplifiers.

Sales of integrated circuits for broadband applications remained flat during the first quarter of 2012 at $7.4 million in comparison to the first quarter of 2011.

GROSS MARGIN. Gross margin during the first quarter of 2012 decreased to 5.9% of net sales from 28.0% of net sales in the first quarter of 2011. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to lower production and sales volume and a concentration of fixed costs as a percent of smaller revenues. Fixed production costs include, but are not limited to depreciation, maintenance and operations’ support functions.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Company-sponsored research and development expenses decreased 14.4% during the first quarter of 2012 to $11.6 million from $13.6 million during the first quarter of 2011. A management separation charge of $0.8 million is included in the first quarter of 2011. The remaining decrease resulted from improved controls over our key projects and lower stock-based compensation expense.

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling and administrative expenses decreased 27.4% to $6.9 million during the first quarter of 2012 from $9.4 million during the first quarter of 2011. A management separation charge of $2.1 million is included in the first quarter of 2011. The remaining decrease resulted from the quarterly savings achieved from our 2011 cost reduction actions.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGE. During the first quarter of 2012, we implemented a workforce reduction at a sales support office, which eliminated five positions and resulted in a restructuring charge of $494 for severance, related benefits and other costs.

OTHER INCOME, NET. During the first quarter of 2012, other income of $1.3 million was primarily from redemption proceeds on one of our ARS in excess of our amortized cost basis.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 2012, we had $24.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and $59.2 million in marketable securities.

Operating activities used $11.0 million in cash during the three month period ended March 31, 2012. Investing activities provided $1.8 million of cash during the three month period ended March 31, 2012 consisting principally of net sales of marketable securities of 3.2 million, partly offset by purchases of fixed assets of 1.4 million. Financing activities provided $1.3 million of cash proceeds received from stock option exercises.

We had unconditional purchase obligations at March 31, 2012 of approximately $2.4 million.

Within our $59.2 million in marketable securities at March 31, 2012, we held a total of $28.3 million of fixed income securities, $21.5 of U.S. government agency debt securities, $1.1 million of municipal notes, $5.4 million of auction rate securities (ARS) and $2.9 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. The ARS instruments used a monthly Dutch auction process to provide liquidity on long-term financial instruments by resetting the applicable interest rate and through the reset, allowed existing investors to rollover or liquidate their holdings at par value. During 2007 and early 2008, ARS 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. 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, 2011 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 from the risks disclosed in Item 7A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

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 March 31, 2012, 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 March 31, 2012.

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.
