(1) On January 16, 2001, we merged with TelCom and accounted for the merger as a pooling-of-interests. Accordingly, the selected financial data has been restated to include the operations of TelCom for all periods presented. TelCom had a December 31 fiscal year end, thus the selected financial data presented for March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 have been combined with the operations of TelCom as of and for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997. We have conformed the TelCom financial data to a March 31 year end for the March 31, 2001 fiscal year.
(2) There were no special charges during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002. Detailed discussions of the special charges, net loss in equity investment, and gain on sale of investment for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 are contained in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Detailed explanations of the special charges for the fiscal years ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 are provided below. The following table presents a summary of special charges for the four-year period ended March 31, 2001:

FISCAL 1999

We implemented two restructuring actions during the quarter ended March 31, 1999. First, we eliminated our 5-inch wafer fabrication line, which resulted in a restructuring charge of $7.6 million in the March 1999 quarter. We also decided to restructure our test operations by closing our Taiwan facility and migrating that test capacity to our lower-cost Thailand facility. This action resulted in a restructuring charge of $6.1 million in the March 1999 quarter. These two restructuring actions were undertaken to improve manufacturing flexibility, close our least cost-effective production capacity, and thereby reduce operating costs.

Included in the restructuring charges resulting from elimination of the 5-inch production capacity was:

* $6.8 million related to equipment that was written off
* $0.3 million related to employee severance costs, and
* $0.5 million related to other restructuring costs.

Included in the restructuring charges resulting from the closure of the Taiwan facility was $5.6 million related to employee severance costs and $0.5 million related to other restructuring costs.

Included in the special charge recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 1999 was $1.8 million related to two legal settlements associated with intellectual property matters, and $0.4 million related to the restructure of a portion of our sales infrastructure.

During the quarter ended June 30, 1998, we recognized a special charge of $3.8 million, which was comprised of a $3.3 million legal settlement with another company involving an intellectual property dispute and a $0.5 million charge associated with the restructuring of a portion of our sales infrastructure. We also incurred charges of $1.7 million for the write-off of obsolete products due to the introduction of newer products, charging this to cost of goods sold.

In August 1998, TelCom announced plans to shut down its 5-inch wafer fabrication facility in Mountain View, California and use third party foundries for all of its wafer fabrication requirements. In conjunction with the shut-down of its wafer fabrication facility, TelCom recorded fab closure charges totaling $6.5 million, predominately associated with the write-down and write-off of manufacturing equipment and facilities improvements. TelCom recorded one-time charges associated with its manufacturing restructuring of $0.7 million. All restructuring reserves relating to these charges have been fully utilized.

KEELOQ(R) HOPPING CODE

On November 17, 1995, we acquired the KEELOQ(R) hopping code technology and patents developed by Nanoteq Ltd. of the Republic of South Africa, and marketing rights related thereto. The acquisition of KEELOQ was treated as an asset purchase for accounting purposes. The amount paid for KEELOQ, including related costs, was $12.9 million. In December 1995, we wrote off $11.4 million, which represented the portion of the purchase price relating to in-process R&D costs, as well as all acquisition-related expenses. The remaining $1.5 million was capitalized as purchased technology. The amount of the purchased technology was determined by applying a discounted cash flow model to the expected future revenue stream of the products acquired.

In March 1999, a second cash payment of $10.3 million was made in accordance with the terms of the original purchase agreement, and was capitalized as purchased technology. In addition, $1.1 million of legal costs paid to defend the KEELOQ intellectual property was also capitalized, resulting in a total net carrying amount of $11.9 million including the $0.5 million of residual asset value capitalized a part of the initial payment, as of March 31, 1999. Although we were obligated to make the second payment, we were concerned that the recoverability of the carrying amount of the technology asset might not be recoverable due to change in the forecasted cash flows related to the KEELOQ products. In accordance with SFAS 121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF, paragraphs 4 through 11, we prepared an undiscounted cash flow analysis at March 31, 1999, which determined that the value of the KEELOQ technology was impaired. We measured the impairment using a discounted cash flow analysis to determine the fair value of the asset, which was deemed to be $4.3 million, resulting in an impairment write-down of $7.6 million. The value of the purchased technology remaining at March 31, 1999 of $4.3 million was amortized over 3 years, the remaining life of the technology.

All restructuring reserves relating to the fiscal 1999 actions have been fully utilized.

FISCAL 1998

On January 13, 1998, we finalized a settlement of patent litigation with Lucent Technologies Inc. resulting in a $5.0 million special charge during the quarter ended December 31, 1997. This settlement is described in more detail at page 27, below, and in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 1995, TelCom entered into certain agreements with IC WORKS, Inc., a privately held company located in San Jose, California under which TelCom purchased $3.0 million of IC WORKS preferred stock and provided $10.4 million in capital equipment. In return for this investment, TelCom received a five-year guarantee of submicron wafer fabrication capacity at specified prices, which was projected to start in late 1997. The shortage of wafer capacity that was projected in late 1995 had diminished and following late 1995, substantial foundry capacity was available worldwide while the overall demand had not increased proportionately. Consequently, wafer pricing had decreased dramatically, which changed the economic viability of IC WORKS investment. As a result, in fiscal 1998, TelCom recorded a loss of $8.3 million on its IC WORKS investment consisting of:

* $3.0 million write-down of the preferred stock
* $5.2 million loss on the sale of capital equipment, and
* $0.1 million of costs associated with prepayment penalties on the financing of the capital equipment and legal fees.

All restructuring reserves relating to the fiscal 1998 actions have been fully utilized.
