Commenting on full year 2005 accomplishments, King stated, "I am pleased with our achievements this past year, including: the acquisition of the semiconductor business of Flextronics, the successful integration of DSPfactory, the substantial completion of our test and sort consolidation in Manila Manila (mənĭl`ə), city (1990 pop. 1,601,234), capital of the Philippines, SW Luzon, on Manila Bay. Manila is the center of the country's largest metropolitan area, its chief port, and the focus of all governmental, commercial, industrial, , and another record year for design wins. During 2005 we saw above normal roll off of old products, particularly in the mixed signal area, which new product introductions failed to offset. Looking forward to 2006, we expect the decline in revenues from end of life products to be at more historical levels and we should realize a greater benefit from new product revenues."

Pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations are
presented because we use them as an additional measure of our
operating performance and we believe that these excluded charges
enhance comparability between current and prior periods. Pro forma net
income and pro forma earnings per share should not be considered as
alternatives to net income, earnings per share or other consolidated
operations data prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, as indicators of
our operating performance or as a measure of liquidity.
