PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Forward-Looking Statements
     The discussion in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that are not historical in nature, but are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, statements as to sustained demand for Cypress and SunPower products, our ability to develop new products, the general economy and its impact on the market segments we serve, the changing environment and cycles of the semiconductor industry, competitive pricing, the successful integration and achievement of the objectives of acquired businesses, cost goals emanating from manufacturing efficiencies, the adequacy of cash and working capital, risks related to investing in development stage companies, and other liquidity risks. We use words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “future,” “intends” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof and are based on our current expectations, information, beliefs or intention regarding future events and our financial performance. Except as required by law, we assume no responsibility to update any such forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements for any number of reasons, including, but not limited to, the materialization of one or more of the risks set forth above and in the “Risk Factors” section in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Fiscal Years
     Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (“Cypress” or the “Company”) reports on a fiscal-year basis and ends its quarters on the Sunday closest to the end of the applicable calendar quarter, except in a 53-week fiscal year, in which case the additional week falls into the fourth quarter of that fiscal year. Fiscal 2005 is a 52-week year and fiscal 2004 was a 53-week year. The second quarter of fiscal 2005 ended on July 3, 2005 and the second quarter of fiscal 2004 ended on June 27, 2004.
Basis of Presentation
     In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the financial information included therein. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. However, this financial data should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2005.
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     The results of operations for the three and six months ended July 3, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” which changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 replaces Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statement.” It requires retrospective application to prior period’s financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. In addition, under SFAS No. 154, if an entity changes its method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, non-financial assets, the change must be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 applies to accounting changes and error corrections made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 154 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
     In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations.” Interpretation No. 47 clarifies that an entity must record a liability for a “conditional” asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. Interpretation No. 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. Interpretation No. 47 is effective no later than the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the provision and does not expect the adoption of Interpretation No. 47 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition.
     In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107, which provides guidance on the implementation of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (see discussion below). In particular, SAB No. 107 provides key guidance related to valuation methods (including assumptions such as expected volatility and expected term), the accounting for income tax effects of share-based payment arrangements upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the modification of employee share options prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the classification of compensation expense, capitalization of compensation cost related to share-based payment arrangements, first-time adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) in an interim period, and disclosures in Management’s Discussion and Analysis subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). SAB No. 107 became effective on March 29, 2005. It did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

     In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), which replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Under SFAS No. 123(R), companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. In April 2005, the SEC postponed the implementation date to the fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 123(R) in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. SFAS No. 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods. The Company is currently evaluating which method to adopt. The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, although it will have no impact on its overall financial position. The precise impact of adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified retrospective application for all prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS No. 123 as described under the “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” section in Note 1. SFAS No. 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. While the Company cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the future (because they depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options), the amount of operating cash flows recognized for such excess tax deductions was zero for the six months ended July 3, 2005 and June 27, 2004.
     In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.” The American Jobs Creation Act introduces a special one-time dividends received deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to U.S. companies, provided certain criteria are met. FSP No. 109-2 provides accounting and disclosure guidance on the impact of the repatriation provision on a company’s income tax expense and deferred tax liability. The Company is currently studying the impact of the one-time foreign dividend provision and intends to complete the analysis by the end of fiscal 2005. Accordingly, the Company has not adjusted its income tax expense or deferred tax liability to reflect the tax impact of any repatriation of non-U.S. earnings it may make.
     In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 03-01, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments.” EITF Issue No. 03-01 provides guidance on evaluating and recording impairment losses on debt and equity investments and requires additional disclosures for those investments. In September 2004, the FASB delayed the measurement and recognition provisions of EITF Issue No. 03-01; however, the disclosure requirements remain effective. The Company will evaluate the impact of EITF Issue No. 03-01 once final guidance is issued.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
     The Company has a number of stock-based employee compensation plans and accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25 and the related interpretation. In certain instances, the Company reflects stock-based employee compensation cost in net income (loss). If there is any compensation under APB Opinion No. 25, the expense is amortized using an accelerated method prescribed under the rules of FASB Interpretation No. 28, “Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans.” The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and related per-share amounts if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to all stock-based employee awards:

Change in Accounting Estimate
     During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company determined that the useful lives of certain equipment and production assets used in certain of its manufacturing operations were longer than historically estimated. Accordingly, the Company revised the useful lives of the newly acquired equipment from 5 years to 7 years and the production assets from 10 months to 2 years beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Useful lives for those equipment and production assets acquired prior to the first quarter of fiscal 2005 remained unchanged. The impact of the revised useful lives resulted in a decrease of approximately $0.9 million and $1.4 million in depreciation for the three and six months ended July 3, 2005, respectively.

     The Company completed the acquisition of SMaL Camera Technologies, Inc. (“SMaL”) during the first quarter of fiscal 2005. No acquisition was completed during other periods presented.
SMaL
     On February 14, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of SMaL, a company specializing in the digital imaging solutions for a variety of business and consumer applications, such as digital still cameras, automotive vision systems and mobile phone cameras. SMaL is part of the Company’s MID segment (see Note 14).
     The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of February 14, 2005, the effective date of the acquisition, and the results of operations of SMaL were included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations subsequent to February 14, 2005. There were no significant differences between the accounting policies of the Company and SMaL.
     The Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of SMaL in exchange for $42.5 million in cash. In addition, the Company assumed SMaL’s outstanding stock options and, in exchange, issued approximately 319,000 Cypress stock options with a fair value of $3.2 million. The fair value of the Cypress stock options was determined under the Black-Scholes model using the following assumptions: volatility of 75%, expected life of 1 to 3.75 years, and risk-free interest rate of 3.14%.
     Of the total Cypress stock options issued, approximately 166,000 were unvested. In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation,” the intrinsic value of these unvested options, totaling $0.8 million, was excluded from the purchase consideration and accounted for as deferred stock-based compensation, which is being amortized over the remaining vesting periods.

     In addition to the purchase consideration, the terms of the acquisition include contingent consideration of up to approximately $22.5 million in cash through fiscal 2006. Of this amount, $1.7 million is based on employment and the achievement of certain individual performance milestones and $20.8 million is based on the achievement of certain sales milestones and employment. Such payments will be accounted for as compensation and expensed in the appropriate periods. See Note 7 for the discussion of the status of the contingent consideration.
Acquired Identifiable Intangible Assets:
     The fair value of patents was determined using the royalty savings approach method, which calculated the present value of the royalty savings related to the intangible assets using a royalty rate of 5% and a discount rate of 38%. The fair value of patents is being amortized over 6 years on a straight-line basis.
     The fair value attributed to purchased technology was determined using the income approach method, which was based on a discounted forecast of the estimated net future cash flows to be generated from the technology using discount rates ranging from 25% to 30%. The fair value of purchased technology is being amortized over 4 years on a straight-line basis.
     The fair value attributed to customer contracts was determined using a cost approach method with a discount rate of 28%. The fair value of customer contracts is being amortized over 6 years on a straight-line basis.

Table of Contents

     The fair value attributed to non-compete agreements was determined using the income approach method, which was based on a discounted forecast of the estimated net future cash flows associated with the savings resulting from having the agreements in place, using a discount rate of 30%. The fair value of non-compete agreements is being amortized over 2 years on a straight-line basis.
In-Process Research and Development:
     The Company identified in-process research and development projects in areas for which technological feasibility had not been established and no alternative future use existed. These in-process research and development projects include the development of first generation automotive camera, and mobile phone sensor and modules.
     In assessing the projects, the Company considered key characteristics of the technology as well as its future prospects, the rate technology changes in the industry, product life cycles, and various projects’ stage of development. The Company allocated $12.3 million of the purchase price to the in-process research and development projects and wrote off the amount in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.
     The value of in-process research and development was determined using the income approach method, which calculated the sum of the discounted future cash flows attributable to the projects once commercially viable using discount rates ranging from 35% to 45%, which were derived from a weighted-average cost of capital analysis and adjusted to reflect the stage of completion of the projects and the level of risks associated with the projects. The percentage of completion for each project was determined by identifying the research and development expenses invested in the project as a ratio of the total estimated development costs required to bring the project to technical and commercial feasibility. The following table summarizes certain information of each significant project as of the acquisition date:
                             
    Stage of   Total Costs Incurred   Total Estimated   Estimated
Projects   Completion   as of Acquisition Date   Costs to Complete   Completion Dates
First generation automotive camera
    58 %   $4.2 million   $3.1 million   March 2006
Mobile phone sensor and modules
    28 %   2.4 million   6.0 million   March 2006
Goodwill:
     SMaL offers industry-leading digital imaging solutions for a variety of business and consumer applications. The acquisition will significantly accelerate the Company’s entry into the high-volume complimentary metal oxide semiconductor image sensor business, and SMaL’s product line will complement new mobile phone products introduced by FillFactory NV, which the Company acquired in fiscal 2004. The result could position the Company to have the broadest line of image sensors currently available for the mobile phone market. These factors primarily contributed to a purchase price which resulted in goodwill. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually. Goodwill from the SMaL acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Combined Pro Forma Information
     In addition to the acquisition of SMaL during the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of FillFactory NV during the third quarter of fiscal 2004 and the buy-out of the minority interests in SunPower during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.

NOTE 4 — RESTRUCTURING
Overview
     The semiconductor industry has historically been characterized by wide fluctuations in demand for, and supply of, semiconductors. In some cases, industry downturns have lasted more than a year. Prior experience has shown that restructuring of operations, resulting in significant restructuring charges, may become necessary if an industry downturn persists. In addition, events and circumstances specific to the Company may result in restructuring charges.
     As of July 3, 2005, the Company had one active restructuring plan initiated in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 (“Fiscal 2005 Restructuring Plan”). In addition, the Company has two other restructuring plans — one initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 (“Fiscal 2002 Restructuring Plan”) and one initiated in the third quarter of fiscal 2001 (“Fiscal 2001 Restructuring Plan”). Both the Fiscal 2002 Restructuring Plan and the Fiscal 2001 Restructuring Plan have been substantially completed with reserves remaining for lease payments for restructured facilities.
Fiscal 2005 Restructuring Plan
     During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, management implemented the Fiscal 2005 Restructuring Plan aimed to reorganize its internal structure and reduce operating costs as the Company continued to experience softness in demand in the semiconductor industry. The Fiscal 2005 Restructuring Plan primarily includes the following initiatives:
    An internal organizational change which consolidated four product divisions into three and reorganized the sales and marketing function to support the product divisions;
 
    Exiting certain building leases as a result of the internal reorganization;
 
    A reduction in workforce as a result of both the internal reorganization and the Company’s plan to reduce the number of layers of management within the organization;
 
    Removal and disposal of excess equipment from operations as a result of the internal reorganization; and
 
    Removal and disposal of equipment related to Silicon Magnetic Systems (“SMS”), a subsidiary of Cypress, as a result of management’s decision to cease operations of SMS.
     The Company recorded total restructuring charges of $22.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, consisting of $8.8 million related to the write-down of restructured property and equipment and $13.9 million related to other items as summarized in the table below. During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company recorded additional provisions of $5.0 million, consisting of $0.1 million related to the write-down of restructured property and equipment and $4.9 million related to other items as summarized in the table below.

Table of Contents

Property and Equipment:
     The restructuring charge of $8.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 consisted of:
  1.   $5.2 million related to the write-down of excess property and equipment as a result of the internal reorganization; and
 
  2.   $3.6 million related to the write-down of equipment due to the termination of the SMS operations (see “Termination of SMS Operations” below).
     During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company recorded charges of $5.2 million related to the write-down of property and equipment that were removed from operations, resulting in a new cost basis of $1.3 million. In addition, the Company recorded disposal costs of $0.4 million. These assets consisted primarily of manufacturing and test equipment located in the Company’s manufacturing facility in Minnesota, as well as manufacturing and test equipment and prototype tools previously used in operations by Silicon Light Machines and SunPower, two subsidiaries of Cypress. As management has committed to plans to dispose of the assets by sale, the Company classified the assets as held for sale and recorded the assets at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Fair value was determined by market prices estimated by a third party that specializes in sales of used equipment. The assets were originally purchased based on internal forecast of growth in demand that subsequently did not materialize. Prior to the Company’s restructuring announcement, the Company did not determine the assets were impaired as assets to be held and used, as there was no indication of impairment. The Company used a contra account to record the adjustment to reflect the assets held for sale at their new cost basis. The contra account was included within property and equipment in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, thereby adjusting the assets held for sale to fair value less costs to sell, and not as a liability within the restructuring reserves. The Company expects to complete the disposal of the restructured assets by the end of fiscal 2005.
     During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company closed a design center in Europe and recorded a charge of $0.1 million related to the write-down of miscellaneous property and equipment that were removed from operations.
Termination of SMS Operations:
     During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, management approved a plan to cease operations of SMS, a subsidiary specializing in magnetic random access memories. SMS generated no revenues historically and as of the end of fiscal 2004, total assets, which primarily consisted of property and equipment, were less than 1% of the Company’s consolidated total assets.
     As a result of management’s decision to cease operations, the Company had committed to a plan to dispose of the assets by sale during the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and recorded charges of $3.6 million related to the write-down of the assets, resulting in a new cost basis of $3.2 million. In addition, the Company recorded disposal costs of $0.8 million. These assets consisted primarily of manufacturing and test equipment. The Company classified the assets as held for sale and recorded the assets at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Fair value was determined by market prices estimated by a third party that specializes in sales of used equipment. Prior to the Company’s restructuring announcement, the Company did not determine the assets were impaired as assets to be held and used, as there was no indication of impairment. The Company expects to complete the disposal of the restructured assets by the end of fiscal 2005.
     In addition, SMS had 29 employees, which were less than 1% of the Company’s total headcount. The Company re-assigned twenty employees to other functions within the organization and terminated nine employees.
Leased Facilities:
     During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company recorded charges totaling $0.9 million for exiting leases related to a design center and a sales office in the United States. During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company closed one additional design center in Europe as a result of the Fiscal 2005 Restructuring Plan and recorded additional charges of $0.3 million related to the lease and certain closing costs. The Company estimated the costs of exiting leases based on the contractual terms of the agreements, the current real estate market condition and the assumptions of sublease rental income, if applicable. Amounts related to the lease expense will be paid over the respective lease terms through fiscal 2007.
Personnel:
     During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company incurred charges of $11.8 million consisting of: (1) severance and benefits of $8.1 million associated with the reduction of the global workforce, and (2) a non-cash compensation charge of $3.7 million associated with the modification of stock option agreements for certain terminated employees. During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company recorded an additional provision of $3.9 million consisting of: (1) severance and benefits of $0.9 million as the Company

identified and terminated additional employees, and (2) a non-cash compensation charge of $3.0 million associated with the modification of stock option agreements for certain terminated employees.
     The Company identified and terminated 219 employees in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and 35 employees in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. In total, the reduction in workforce included 254 employees, of which 78 employees were engaged in manufacturing, 120 employees in research and development, and 56 employees in selling general and administrative functions. Geographically, the reduction in workforce included 209 employees located in the U.S., 22 employees in the Philippines, and 23 in other countries. Of the 254 terminated employees, 248 employees have left the Company as of July 3, 2005. The Company expects the majority of the payments related to severance and benefits to be completed by the end of fiscal 2005.
     The Company may identify and terminate additional employees in future periods as it continues to evaluate its organizational structure under the Fiscal 2005 Restructuring Plan.
Other:
     As part of the reorganization of the worldwide sales force under the Fiscal 2005 Restructuring Plan, the Company recorded a charge of $0.7 million associated with the termination of a contract with a sales representative in Europe during the second quarter of fiscal 2005. The termination fee is expected to be paid by the end of fiscal 2005.
Fiscal 2002 Restructuring Plan and Fiscal 2001 Restructuring Plan
     As of December 28, 2003, the Fiscal 2002 Restructuring Plan and the Fiscal 2001 Restructuring Plan had been completed with accruals remaining only for restructured leased facilities and employee benefit payments. As of July 3, 2005, accruals remained only for leased facilities, which will decrease over time as the Company continues to make lease payments. See the 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a detailed discussion of the Fiscal 2002 Restructuring Plan and the Fiscal 2001 Restructuring Plan.

Table of Contents

     The Company classifies all available-for-sale securities that are intended to be available for use in current operations as either cash equivalents or short-term investments.
     During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company reclassified all auction rate securities from cash equivalents to short-term investments. The reclassification had no impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 27, 2004. The impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows was an increase of $0.9 million in cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 27, 2004.
     As of July 3, 2005, contractual maturities of the Company’s short-term debt investments were as follows:

     Proceeds from sales and maturities of available-for-sale investments were $114.0 million and $42.0 million for the six months ended July 3, 2005 and June 27, 2004, respectively.
Fair Value of Debt Instruments
     The estimated fair values of the Company’s debt instruments have generally been determined using available market information. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair values. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
     The carrying amounts and estimated fair values are as follows:

NOTE 7 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Guarantees and Product Warranties
     The Company applies the disclosure provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,” to its agreements that contain guarantee or indemnification clauses. These disclosure provisions expand those required by SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” by requiring that guarantors disclose certain types of guarantees, even if the likelihood of requiring the guarantor’s performance is remote. As of July 3, 2005, Cypress has accrued its estimate of liability incurred under these indemnification arrangements and guarantees, as applicable. The Company maintains self-insurance for certain liabilities of its officers and directors.
Indemnification Obligations:
     The Company is a party to a variety of agreements pursuant to which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. Typically, these obligations arise in the context of contracts entered into by the Company, under which the Company customarily agrees to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations and covenants related to such matters as title to assets sold, certain intellectual property rights, specified environmental matters and certain income

18


Table of Contents

taxes. In these circumstances, payment by the Company is customarily conditioned on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract, which procedures typically allow the Company to challenge the other party’s claims. Further, the Company’s obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount, and in some instances, the Company may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by it under these agreements.
     It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these or similar agreements due to the conditional nature of the Company’s obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the Company under these agreements did not have a material effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations. The Company believes that if it were to incur a loss in any of these matters, such loss would not have a material effect on its business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
Product Warranties:
     The Company estimates its warranty costs based on historical warranty claim experience and applies this estimate to the revenue stream for products under warranty. The estimated future warranty obligations related to product sales are recorded in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. The warranty accrual is reviewed quarterly to verify that it properly reflects the remaining obligations based on the anticipated expenditures over the balance of the obligation period. Adjustments are made when actual warranty claim experience differs from estimates.
     The following table presents the changes in the Company’s warranty reserve activities:

Acquisition-Related Contingent Compensation
     The Company recorded acquisition-related contingent compensation charges of $1.2 million and $2.2 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2005, respectively, and $1.7 million and $3.2 million for the three and six months ended June 27, 2004, respectively. Substantially all acquisition-related contingent compensation charges were recorded as research and development expenses. The status of the acquisition-related contingent compensation is as follows:
SMaL:
     The terms of the acquisition include contingent consideration of up to approximately $22.5 million in cash through fiscal 2006. Of this amount, $1.7 million is based on employment and the achievement of certain individual performance milestones and $20.8 million is based on the achievement of certain sales milestones and employment. When the contingency is based on milestone achievements and employment conditions, no charge is recognized until it is probable that the milestone conditions will be reached at which point any contingent consideration will be recognized over the employment-vesting period. Such payments will be accounted for as compensation and expensed in the appropriate periods. The Company recorded no expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and a charge of $0.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 related to the achievement of individual performance milestones and employment.
Cascade Semiconductor Corporation:
     The terms of the acquisition include contingent consideration of approximately $9.4 million payable to employees based on either revenue milestone achievement and employment conditions, or employment conditions alone, through January 2007. When the contingency is based on milestone achievements and employment conditions, no charge is recognized until it is probable that the milestone conditions will be reached at which point any contingent consideration will be recognized over the employment-vesting period. Employment-only contingent consideration is recognized over the employment-vesting period.
     To date, the Company recorded total charges of $6.3 million related to the contingent consideration, of which $0.7 million and $1.5 million were recorded in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2005, respectively, and $4.8 million was recorded in fiscal 2004. The $6.3 million charges consisted of the following: (1) 155,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $1.6

Table of Contents

million were issued in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, (2) 145,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $1.6 million were issued in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, and (3) an accrual of $3.1 million to be paid in cash or shares at the Company’s option as of July 3, 2005.
Sahasra Networks:
     The terms of the acquisition include provisions for contingent cash payments to employees and third parties of up to $2.3 million through December 2005 based on the amount of revenues generated by certain products in future periods. Cash payments to third parties based solely on product revenues will be recorded as an increase in the purchase price, if paid. Cash payments to employees for achievement of revenue targets require that individuals remain employed by the Company and are accounted for as compensation for services and expensed in the appropriate periods. To date, no payments have been recorded as achievements of product revenue targets have not been met.
     In addition, the agreement includes provisions for the contingent issuance to employees of up to 259,000 shares of the Company’s common stock based on the achievement of certain product development milestones. Issuance of shares to employees upon successful completion of product milestones requires that individuals remained employed by the Company and are accounted for as compensation for services and expensed in the appropriate periods.
     To date, the Company recorded total charges of $3.1 million related to the contingent consideration, of which $0.2 million and $0.4 million were recorded in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2005, respectively, $0.2 million was recorded in fiscal 2004, and $2.5 million was recorded prior to fiscal 2004. The $3.1 million charges consisted of the following: (1) 42,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.7 million were issued in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004; (2) 39,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.8 million were issued in the first quarter of fiscal 2005; (3) 41,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.9 million were issued in the second quarter of fiscal 2005; and (4) an accrual of $0.7 million for future issuance of shares as of July 3, 2005.
Synthetic Lease
     On June 27, 2003, the Company entered into an operating lease agreement, commonly known as a synthetic lease, for manufacturing and office facilities located in Minnesota and California. A synthetic lease obligation of $62.7 million with restricted cash collateral was established as of the second quarter of fiscal 2003. The synthetic lease requires the Company to purchase the properties or to arrange for the properties to be acquired by a third party at lease expiration, which is June 2008. In addition, the Company may extend the lease if the lessor allows. If the Company had exercised its right to purchase all the properties subject to the new synthetic lease at July 3, 2005, the Company would have been required to make a payment and record assets totaling $62.7 million (the “Termination Value”). If the Company exercised its option to sell the properties to a third party, the proceeds from such a sale could be less than the properties’ Termination Value, and the Company would be required to pay the difference up to the guaranteed residual value of $54.5 million (the “Guaranteed Residual Value”).
     In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45, the Company determined that the fair value associated with the Guaranteed Residual Value embedded in the synthetic operating lease was $2.0 million, which was recorded in other assets and other long-term liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
     The Company is required to evaluate periodically the expected fair value of the properties at the end of the lease term. In the event the Company determines that it is estimable and probable that the expected fair value of the properties at the end of the lease term will be less than the Termination Value, the Company will ratably accrue the loss over the remaining lease term. During fiscal 2004, the Company performed the analysis and accrued a loss contingency of approximately $1.8 million in other long-term liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets relating to the potential decline in the fair value of the facilities in California. The loss contingency was determined by management with the assistance of a market analysis performed by an independent appraisal firm. During the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2005, the Company accrued an additional $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, related to the loss contingency. As of July 3, 2005, the accrued loss contingency totaled $2.4 million.
     The Company is required to maintain restricted cash or investments to serve as collateral for this lease. As of July 3, 2005, the balance of restricted cash and accrued interest was $63.2 million and was classified in other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Table of Contents

     During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company amended its synthetic lease agreement, whereby amounts due under the Company’s convertible subordinated notes are excluded from certain financial covenant calculations under the amended agreement. As of July 3, 2005, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants.
Litigation and Asserted Claims
     In January 1998, an attorney representing the estate of Mr. Jerome Lemelson contacted the Company and charged that the Company infringed certain patents owned by Mr. Lemelson and/or a partnership controlled by Mr. Lemelson’s estate. On February 26, 1999, the Lemelson Partnership sued the Company and 87 other companies in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona for infringement of 16 patents. In May 2000, the Court stayed litigation on 14 of the 16 patents in view of concurrent litigation in the United States District Court, District of Nevada, on the same 14 patents. On January 23, 2004, the Nevada Court held in favor of plaintiffs, that all asserted claims of the 14 patents are unenforceable, invalid, and not infringed. The Nevada ruling is now being appealed, and the 14 patents remain stayed as to the Company during the appeal. In October 2001, the Lemelson Partnership amended its Arizona complaint to add allegations that two more patents were infringed. Therefore, there are currently four patents that are not stayed in this litigation. The case is in the “claim construction” (i.e., patent claim interpretation) phase on the four non-stayed patents. The claim construction hearing concluded on December 10, 2004, and the Company is awaiting the Judge’s order. The Company has reviewed and investigated the allegations in both Lemelson’s original and amended complaints. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to these allegations and will vigorously defend itself in this matter. However, because of the nature and inherent uncertainties of litigation, should the outcome of this action be unfavorable, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
     The Company is currently a party to various other legal proceedings, claims, disputes and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, including those noted above. The Company currently believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operation or cash flows. However, because of the nature and inherent uncertainties of litigation, should the outcome of these actions be unfavorable, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
NOTE 8 — DEBT AND EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
Line of Credit
     In September 2003, the Company entered into a $50.0 million, 24-month revolving line of credit with a major financial institution. In December 2004, this line of credit was extended to December 2006 and the total amount was increased to $70.0 million. As of July 3, 2005 and January 2, 2005, the outstanding balance related to the line of credit was zero and $4.0 million, respectively. In addition, as of July 3, 2005 and January 2, 2005, $0.3 million and $0.4 million were outstanding, respectively, related to a standby letter of credit. Loans made under the line of credit bear interest based upon the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate or LIBOR plus a spread at the Company’s election. The line of credit agreement includes a variety of covenants including restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness, incurrence of loans, the payment of dividends or distribution on its capital stock, and transfers of assets and financial covenants with respect to tangible net worth and a quick ratio. As of July 3, 2005, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants. The Company’s obligations under the line of credit are guaranteed and collateralized by the common stock of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Company intends to use the line of credit on an as-needed basis to fund working capital and capital expenditures.
Option Contracts
     As of July 3, 2005, the Company had outstanding a series of equity options on its common stock with an initial cost of $26.0 million that were originally entered into in fiscal 2001. These options were included in stockholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contracts require physical settlement and will expire on August 18, 2005. Upon expiration of the options, if the Company’s stock price is above the threshold price of $21 per share, the Company will receive a settlement value totaling $30.3 million in cash. If the Company’s stock price is below the threshold price of $21 per share, the Company will receive 1.4 million shares of its common stock. Alternatively, the contracts may be renewed and extended.
     The Company received total premiums of zero and $1.8 million during the three and six months ended June 27, 2004, respectively, upon extensions of the contracts. The Company received no premiums for the three and six months ended July 3, 2005. The premiums were recorded in additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Stock-Based Compensation
     Stock-based compensation expense generally includes the amortization of deferred stock-based compensation related to the Company’s acquisitions. Deferred stock-based compensation is amortized on an accelerated basis over the vesting periods of the individual stock options or restricted stock, generally a period of four to five years, in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 28.
     The following table summarizes the stock-based compensation expense recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

(1)   For the six months ended July 3, 2005, stock-based compensation expense included a credit of $1.9 million recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 primarily attributable to the reversal of the unamortized deferred stock-based compensation balance related to employees who have been terminated.
 
(2)   For the three and six months ended July 3, 2005, stock-based compensation expense of $3.0 million and $6.7 million, respectively, was attributable to the modifications of the stock option agreements for certain terminated employees (see Note 4) .

NOTE 10 — FOREIGN CURRENCY DERIVATIVES
     The Company operates and sells products in various global markets and purchases capital equipment using foreign currencies. Additionally, the Company is exposed to risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company may use various hedge instruments from time to time to manage the exposures associated with forecasted purchases of equipment, net asset or liability positions of its subsidiaries and forecasted revenues and expenses. The Company does not enter into foreign currency derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
     As of July 3, 2005, the Company’s hedge instruments consisted entirely of forward contracts. The Company calculates the fair value of its forward contracts based on forward rates from published sources.
     Under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” the Company accounts for its hedges of forecasted foreign currency revenues as cash flow hedges, such that changes in fair value of the effective portion of hedge contracts

are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the periods in which the related revenue is recognized. The effective portion of unrealized gains (losses) recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, was $1.1 million and $(1.4) million as of July 3, 2005 and January 2, 2005, respectively. Cash flow hedges are tested for effectiveness each period on a spot to spot basis using the dollar-offset method and both the excluded time value and any ineffectiveness are recorded in other income and (expense), net. The changes in excluded time value were immaterial for the three and six months ended July 3, 2005 and zero for the three and six months ended June 27, 2004. No ineffectiveness was recorded for any periods presented. As of July 3, 2005 and January 2, 2005, the Company had outstanding cash flow hedge forward contracts with an aggregate notional value of $20.6 million and $34.0 million, respectively, related to forecasted Euro revenue transactions. The maturity dates of the outstanding contracts range from September 2005 to February 2006.
     The Company records its hedges of foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities at fair value with the related gains or losses recorded in other income and (expense), net. The gains or losses on these contracts are substantially offset by transaction gains or losses on the underlying balances being hedged. As of July 3, 2005 and January 2, 2005, the Company held forward contracts with an aggregate notional value of $7.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively, to hedge the risks associated with Euro foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. Aggregate net foreign exchange losses were $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2005, respectively, and immaterial for the three and six months ended June 27, 2004.
NOTE 11 — BENEFIT FROM (PROVISION FOR) INCOME TAXES
     The Company’s effective rate of income tax benefit was 3.3% and 0.2% for the three and six months ended July 3, 2005, respectively. The Company’s effective rate of income tax expense was 6.5% and 6.5% for the three and six months ended June 27, 2004, respectively. The tax benefit for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2005 was attributable to income earned in certain countries that is not offset by current year net operating losses in other countries, offset by the amortization of deferred tax liabilities in conjunction with the acquisition of FillFactory NV. The tax provision for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2004 was attributable to income earned in certain countries that is not offset by current year net operating losses in other countries.
     The future tax benefit of certain losses is not currently recognized due to management’s assessment of the likelihood of realization of these benefits. The Company’s effective tax rate may vary from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to utilization of future benefits, earnings of foreign subsidiaries taxed at different rates, tax credits, amortization of deferred tax liabilities associated with acquisitions and other business factors.
NOTE 12 — 2001 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE ASSISTANCE PLAN
     On May 3, 2001, the Company’s stockholders approved the adoption of the 2001 employee stock purchase assistance plan (“SPAP”). The SPAP became effective on May 3, 2001 and will terminate on the earlier of May 3, 2011, or such time as determined by the Board of Directors. The SPAP allowed for loans to employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock on the open market. Employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, including executive officers but excluding the chief executive officer and the Board of Directors, were allowed to participate in the SPAP. The loans were granted to executive officers prior to Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, effective July 30, 2002, which prohibits loans to executive officers of public corporations. Loans to executive officers represented approximately 4.3% of the total original loans granted. Each loan was evidenced by a full recourse promissory note executed by the employee in favor of the Company and was secured by a pledge of the shares of the Company’s common stock purchased with the proceeds of the loan. If a participant sells the shares of the Company’s common stock purchased with the proceeds from the loan, the proceeds of the sale must first be used to repay the interest and then the principal on the loan before being received by the participant. The loans are callable and currently bear interest at a minimum rate of 4.0% per annum compounded annually, except for loans to executive officers, whose loans bear interest at the rate of 5.0% per annum, compounded annually.
     As the loans are at interest rates below the estimated market rate, the Company recorded compensation expense to reflect the difference between the rate charged and an estimated market rate for each loan outstanding. Compensation expense was $0.4 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2005, respectively, and $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 27, 2004, respectively. In addition, the Company records interest income on the outstanding loan balances. Accrued interest outstanding totaled $8.0 million and $7.0 million as of July 3, 2005 and January 2, 2005, respectively. Outstanding loans (including accrued interest) under the SPAP, net of allowance for uncollectible accounts, were $46.5 million and $45.6 million

23


Table of Contents

as of July 3, 2005 and January 2, 2005, respectively. This balance is classified as a current asset in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
     The Company has established an allowance for uncollectible accounts representing an amount for estimated uncollectible balances, with changes in the allowance for uncollectible accounts recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In determining the allowance for uncollectible accounts, management considered various factors, including a review of borrower demographics (including geographic location and job grade), loan quality and an independent fair value analysis of the loans and the underlying collateral. To date, there have been immaterial write-offs. The allowance for uncollectible accounts was $8.5 million and $8.5 million as of July 3, 2005 and January 2, 2005, respectively.
     In the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company instituted a program directed at minimizing losses resulting from these employee loans. Under this program, employees other than executive officers were required to execute either a sell limit order or a stop loss order on the collateral common stock that will be triggered once the common stock price exceeds the employee’s break-even point. Executive officers were precluded from participating in the stop loss program as a result of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which prohibits material modifications to any term of a loan to an executive officer. If the common stock price declines to the stop loss price, the collateral stock is sold and the proceeds are used to repay the employee’s outstanding loan to the Company. The employee loans remain callable and the Company is willing to pursue every available avenue, including those covered under the Uniform Commercial Code, to recover these loans by pursuing employees’ personal assets should the employees not repay these loans.
NOTE 13 — NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
     Basic net income (loss) per common share and diluted net loss per common share are computed using the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed using the weighted-average common shares outstanding plus any potentially dilutive securities, except when their effect is anti-dilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

Convertible Subordinated Notes:
1.25% Convertible Subordinated Notes (“1.25% Notes”):
     For the three and six months ended July 3, 2005, approximately 33.1 million shares of common stock issuable upon the assumed conversion of the 1.25% Notes were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as the Company was in a net loss position and therefore, their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
     For the three and six months ended June 27, 2004, diluted net income per share included approximately 33.1 million shares assuming conversion of the 1.25% Notes and payment of the $300 portion of each note in cash rather than common stock. Each $1,000 principal value 1.25% Notes issued in June 2003 is convertible at any time prior to maturity into 55.172 shares of common

24


Table of Contents

stock, subject to certain adjustments, plus $300 of cash. The Company, at its option, may pay the $300 in shares of common stock, subject to certain conditions. The Company currently intends to pay the $300 in cash rather than shares of common stock. As a result, for purposes of determining the Company’s diluted earnings per share calculation, it is presumed that the $300 payment will be settled in cash. Therefore, net income in the diluted computation was adjusted by 70% of the interest expense and bond issuance costs.
3.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes (“3.75% Notes”):
     For the three and six months ended June 27, 2004, approximately 1.1 million shares of common stock issuable upon the assumed conversion of the 3.75% Notes were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share as the effect was anti-dilutive.
     The Company redeemed all of the 3.75% Notes in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.
Stock Options:
     For the three and six months ended July 3, 2005, all outstanding options were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as the Company was in a net loss position and therefore, their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. As of July 3, 2005, total outstanding options to purchase common stock were 44.2 million.
     For the three and six months ended June 27, 2004, approximately 21.9 million and 14.1 million, respectively, of the Company’s outstanding stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share because the exercise prices of the stock options were greater than or equal to the average share price for the periods, and therefore, their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
NOTE 14 — SEGMENT, GEOGRAPHICAL AND CUSTOMER INFORMATION
     The Company designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of solutions for various markets including consumer, computation, data communications, automotive, industrial and solar power. The Company evaluates its reportable business segments in accordance with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, in conjunction with the Fiscal 2005 Restructuring Plan, the Company redefined its internal organizational structure and identified five reportable business segments based on the criteria of SFAS No. 131. The five reportable business segments are as follows:
             
 
    Computation and Consumer Division (“CCD”):   a product division focusing on the clock, universal serial bus and programmable system-on-chip products;
 
           
 
    Data Communications Division (“DCD”):   a product division focusing on the specialty memories, programmable logic devices and network search engine products;
 
           
 
    Memory and Imaging Division (“MID”):   a product division focusing on the static random access memories (“SRAM”), pseudo-SRAM and image sensor products;
 
           
 
    SunPower:   a subsidiary of Cypress specializing in silicon solar cells and modules; and
 
           
 
    Other:   includes Silicon Light Machines, a subsidiary of Cypress specializing in optical components, Silicon Valley Technology Center, a division of Cypress, and certain foundry-related services performed by the Company on behalf of others.
     Information for the three and six months ended June 27, 2004 has been restated to conform with the current-period presentation. The Company does not allocate restructuring, acquisition-related costs, interest income and expense, other expense and income taxes to its segments. In addition, the Company does not allocate assets to the segments as the Company does not manage its business this way. The following tables set forth information relating to the reportable business segments:

NOTE 15 — EXCHANGE OF STOCK OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED STOCK
     Prior to the first quarter of fiscal 2005, certain of the Company’s executive officers held stock options in Silicon Light Machines (“SLM”) and restricted stock in Cypress Microsystems (“CMS”). Both SLM and CMS are subsidiaries of Cypress. During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company exchanged stock options and restricted stock held in SLM and CMS by its executive officers with Cypress stock options. The awards’ aggregate intrinsic value immediately after the exchange was not greater than the awards’ aggregate intrinsic value immediately before the modification and the ratio of the exercise price per share to the market value per share was not reduced. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-23, “Issues Related to the Accounting for Stock Compensation under APB Opinion No. 25 and FASB Interpretation No. 44,” the exchange resulted in a new measurement date. However, since the

26


Table of Contents

Company’s stock options were granted at or above the fair market value of the common stock, the new measurement date did not result in any stock compensation expense.
     Under the exchange, SLM cancelled 99,000 vested stock options and 201,000 unvested stock options. In exchange for the forfeited options, the Company granted 1,500 vested Cypress stock options and 3,000 unvested Cypress stock options to the executive officers. CMS repurchased a total of 1,000,000 restricted shares, of which approximately 771,000 shares were vested and 229,000 shares were unvested. In exchange for the forfeited shares, the Company granted 1,700 vested Cypress stock options and 500 unvested Cypress stock options to the executive officers.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     The Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that involve risks and uncertainties, which are discussed in the “Forward-Looking Statements” section under Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Executive Summary
     We design, develop, manufacture and market a broad range of silicon-based products and solutions for various markets including consumer, computation, data communications, automotive, industrial and solar power. Our product portfolio includes a selection of wired and wireless universal serial bus devices, complementary metal oxide semiconductor image sensors, timing solutions, network search engines, specialty memories, high-bandwidth synchronous and micropower memory products, optical solutions, reconfigurable mixed-signal arrays and solar cells and modules.
     During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, in conjunction with our restructuring plan, we reorganized our internal structure and identified five new business segments: Computation and Consumer Division (“CCD”), Data Communications Division (“DCD”), Memory and Imaging Division (“MID”), SunPower Corporation (“SunPower”), and Other:
             
 
    CCD:   a product division focusing on the clock, universal serial bus and programmable system-on-chip products;
 
           
 
    DCD:   a product division focusing on the specialty memories, programmable logic devices and network search engine products;
 
           
 
    MID:   a product division focusing on our memory and image sensor products;
 
           
 
    SunPower:   a subsidiary of Cypress specializing in silicon solar cells and modules; and
 
           
 
    Other:   includes Silicon Light Machines, a subsidiary of Cypress specializing in optical components, Silicon Valley Technology Center, a division of Cypress, and certain foundry-related services performed by us on behalf of others.
     The goals of the reorganization are to achieve the following objectives:
    a cost reduction via the consolidation of four product divisions into three;
 
    enhanced market focus by targeting two of our three product divisions on an end market;
 
    the improvement of our clock business through its incorporation into another division; and
 
    the separation of SunPower as a fourth division.
     During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, we completed the acquisition of SMaL Camera Technologies, Inc. (“SMaL”). SMaL offers industry-leading digital imaging solutions for a variety of business and consumer applications. The acquisition will significantly accelerate our entry into the high-volume complimentary metal oxide semiconductor image sensor business, and SMaL’s product line will complement new mobile phone products introduced by Fill Factory NV, which we acquired in fiscal 2004.
     Revenues for the three months ended July 3, 2005 were $220.5 million, a decrease of $43.8 million compared to the three months ended June 27, 2004. Net loss for the three months ended July 3, 2005 was $15.3 million, compared to net income of $22.0 million for the three months ended June 27, 2004. With the exception of SunPower, revenues declined in all of our business segments in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to the corresponding prior-year period, with more than half of our total revenue shortfall attributable to a decrease in sales of memory products in our MID segment. We currently anticipate revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 to be in the range of $225.0 million to $235.0 million, and our expectations for our segments are as follows:
    we expect an increase in sales in the CCD segment, driven by the normal seasonal upswing in the consumer and computation products and the proliferation of general-purpose clocks and programmable system-on-chip mixed-signal arrays in consumer applications. We also expect to expand our market position in personal computer clocks, driven by designs for next-generation laptops;

28


Table of Contents

    revenues in our DCD segment are expected to decline slightly primarily due to the recent completion of a last-time buy on programmable logic device products;
 
    we expect MID revenues to be flat, as demand for our synchronous memory products is expected to remain strong, though the broader static random access memory (“SRAM”) forecast remains guarded based on projected seasonal softness and the anticipated long-term decline in pseudo-SRAM revenues due to a general market transition to dynamic random access memory (“DRAM”) products which we do not manufacture; and
 
    SunPower will continue to ramp manufacturing capacity in its facility in the Philippines and we expect continued growth for SunPower based on sustained demand for its products.
     We currently expect gross margin percentage in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 to increase sequentially to the range of 42% to 44%, primarily due to the sequential increase in sales as discussed above, continued improvement in factory utilization and the ongoing benefits of the cost reduction measures implemented under our restructuring plan in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.
     From a liquidity and capital resources standpoint, our long-term strategy is to maintain a minimum amount of cash and cash equivalents for operational purposes and to invest the remaining amount of our cash in interest bearing and highly liquid cash equivalents and debt securities. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2005, total cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash were $239.6 million, a $68.0 million reduction from the end of fiscal 2004 primarily due to cash used for the acquisition of SMaL and purchases of property and equipment.

CCD:
     For the three months ended July 3, 2005, revenues from the sales of CCD products decreased $15.4 million, or 19.1%, compared to the same prior-year period. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in unit sales and average selling prices (“ASPs”) of our universal serial bus products, which resulted in an $11.6 million decrease in revenues period-over-period. In addition, a decrease in ASPs of our clock products contributed another $6.8 million decrease in revenues period-over-period. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $2.8 million in programmable-system-on-chip product sales, driven mainly by a significant increase in unit shipments.
     For the six months ended July 3, 2005, revenues from the sales of CCD products decreased $27.8 million, or 17.4%, compared to the same prior-year period. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in unit sales and ASPs of our universal serial bus products, which resulted in a $17.0 million decrease in revenues period-over-period. In addition, a decrease in ASPs of our clock products contributed another $12.7 million decrease in revenues period-over-period. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $3.8 million in programmable-system-on-chip product sales, driven mainly by a significant increase in unit shipments.
DCD:
     For the three months ended July 3, 2005, revenues from the sales of DCD products decreased $15.4 million, or 25.8%, compared to the same prior-year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $4.5 million decrease in sales of our network search engine products, a $3.6 million decrease in our multi-port products, and a $3.5 million decrease in our programmable logic device products.

Table of Contents

The decrease in sales of our network search engine products was due to decreases in both unit shipments and ASPs. The decrease in our multi-port and programmable logic device products was primarily due to a reduction in unit shipments.
     For the six months ended July 3, 2005, revenues from the sales of DCD products decreased $30.2 million, or 26.1%, compared to the same prior-year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $9.9 million decrease in sales of our programmable logic device products, an $8.3 million decrease in our multi-port products, and a $4.8 million decrease in our network search engine products. The decrease in sales of our programmable logic device and multi-port products was primarily due to a reduction in unit shipments. The decrease in our network search engine products was due to decreases in both unit shipments and ASPs.
MID:
     For the three months ended July 3, 2005, revenues from the sales of MID products decreased $23.6 million, or 21.7%, compared to the same prior-year period. The decrease was attributable to a reduction in memory product sales of $33.9 million, offset by the addition of image sensor product sales of $10.3 million.
     For the six months ended July 3, 2005, revenues from the sales of MID products decreased $55.3 million, or 25.8%, compared to the same prior-year period. The decrease was attributable to a reduction in memory product sales of $72.8 million, offset by the addition of image sensor product sales of $17.5 million.
     The decrease in memory product sales for the three months ended July 3, 2005 compared to the same prior-year period was primarily attributable to a reduction of sales in our micropower and pseudo-SRAM product families totaling $35.1 million, partially offset by an increase of $7.7 million in sales of our synchronous SRAM products The decrease in sales of our micropower and pseudo-SRAM products was due to reduced unit sales and ASPs. The increase in sales of our synchronous SRAM products was primarily driven by increase in unit sales.
     The decrease in memory product sales for the six months ended July 3, 2005 compared to the same prior-year period was primarily attributable to a reduction of sales in our micropower and pseudo-SRAM product families totaling $67.2 million, partially offset by an increase of $9.9 million in sales of our synchronous SRAM products The decrease in sales of our micropower and pseudo-SRAM products was due to reduced unit sales and ASPs. The increase in sales of our synchronous SRAM products was primarily driven by increase in unit sales.
     Image sensor sales were $10.3 million and zero for the three months ended July 3, 2005 and June 27, 2004, respectively, and $17.5 million and zero for the six months ended July 3, 2005 and June 27, 2004, respectively. Our acquisitions of FillFactory NV and SMaL in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 and the first quarter of fiscal 2005, respectively, accounted for all our image sensor sales in the three and six months ended July 3, 2005. Prior to these acquisitions, we did not sell image sensor products.
SunPower:
     For the three months ended July 3, 2005, revenues from the sales of SunPower products increased $14.4 million, or 701.1%, compared to the same prior-year period. For the six months ended July 3, 2005, revenues from the sales of SunPower products increased $23.9 million, or 654.8%, compared to the same prior-year period. The increases in both the three and six-month periods were attributable to the strong demand for its A-300 solar cells and panels, which began commercial production in the manufacturing facility in the Philippines in late 2004.
Other:
     For the three months ended July 3, 2005, revenues decreased $3.8 million, or 28.9%, compared to the same prior-year period. This decrease was primarily attributable to a $3.7 million decrease in revenues generated by our subsidiary Silicon Light Machines (“SLM”). For the six months ended July 3, 2005, revenues decreased $8.4 million, or 32.9%, compared to the same prior-year period. This decrease was primarily attributable to an $8.0 million decrease in revenues generated by our subsidiary SLM. The decreases in revenues generated by SLM for both the three and six-month periods were primarily due to the decline in royalty revenues from Sony Corporation as the use of certain of SLM’s technology by Sony came to an end in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.

Cost of Revenues/Gross Margin
     For the three months ended July 3, 2005, cost of revenues was $129.6 million, compared with $124.9 million for the corresponding fiscal 2004 period. This resulted in gross margin of 41% for the three months ended July 3, 2005, compared with 53% for the corresponding fiscal 2004 period. For the six months ended July 3, 2005, cost of revenues was $256.2 million, compared with $248.2 million for the corresponding fiscal 2004 period. This resulted in gross margin of 39% for the six months ended July 3, 2005, compared with 52% for the corresponding fiscal 2004 period. The decline in gross margin for both the three and six months ended July 3, 2005 was primarily due to a revenue decline of 17% and 19%, respectively. The decline in sales resulted in reduced factory utilization and under-absorption of factory fixed costs.
Inventory Reserves:
     Our gross margin has been impacted by the timing of inventory adjustments related to inventory write-downs and the subsequent sale of these written-down products caused by the general state of our business including our inventory profile. The table below sets forth the gross margin and the impact of inventory adjustments on gross margin.
                                 
    Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended
    July 3,   June 27,   July 3,   June 27,
(In millions)   2005   2004   2005   2004
Gross margin
  $ 91.0     $ 139.4     $ 164.6     $ 270.4  
Impact of inventory adjustments, net: benefit (write-down)
  $ (3.3 )   $ (3.6 )   $ (7.2 )   $ 4.5  
     The inventory reserve balance was $30.1 million and $29.4 million as of July 3, 2005 and January 2, 2005, respectively.
     We record inventory write-downs as a result of our normal analysis of demand forecasts and the aging profile of the inventory. We record charges to cost of goods sold to write down the carrying values of our inventories when their estimated market values are less than their carrying values. The inventory write-downs reflect estimates of future market pricing relative to the costs of production and inventory carrying values and projected timing of product sales. The semiconductor industry has historically been highly cyclical and volatile. In recent years, a combination of global economic conditions and a slowing growth rate in the demand for semiconductors, coupled with worldwide increases in semiconductor production capacity, caused significant declines in demand and average selling prices for semiconductor components. These trends could continue in the future and could cause us to re-evaluate our inventory costs, which could result in additional inventory reserves.
     In reviewing our inventory reserves, we follow methodologies that are consistent with those used by other companies within the semiconductor industry. At the time of an inventory write-down, we make a determination, based on demand forecasts and the aging profile of the inventory, that there is a very high probability that the inventory that was reserved would not be sold. Once the inventory is written down, a new cost basis is established; however, for tracking purposes, the write-down is recorded as a reserve for balance sheet purposes. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 100, the contra asset account is relieved at the time the inventory is either sold or scrapped. We have formal programs to periodically scrap reserved inventory. At July 3, 2005, the remaining inventory reserve represented excess and obsolete inventories that have not been scrapped or sold.

     For the three months ended July 3, 2005, research and development (“R&D”) expenses decreased $9.8 million compared to the same prior-year period. The decrease in R&D expenditures was primarily due to a decrease of $8.0 million in employee-related compensation expenses and depreciation, which was mostly attributable to the restructuring measures implemented during the first quarter of fiscal 2005. In addition, the decrease was attributable to a $1.6 million decrease in SunPower’s R&D expense as a result of the completion of certain R&D efforts related to a product line in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 and the shift of expenses to cost of revenues as SunPower began selling these products.
     For the six months ended July 3, 2005, R&D expenses decreased $14.9 million compared to the same prior-year period. The decrease in R&D expenditures was primarily due to a decrease of $9.9 million in employee-related compensation expenses and

depreciation, which was mostly attributable to the restructuring measures implemented during the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The decrease in employee-related compensation expenses included a credit of $1.9 million in amortization of deferred stock-based compensation recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 primarily as a result of the reversal of the unamortized balance associated with terminated employees. The decrease in R&D expense was also attributable to a decrease of approximately $4.3 million in SunPower’s R&D expense primarily as a result of the completion of certain R&D efforts related to a product line in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 and the shift of expenses to cost of revenues as SunPower began selling these products.

     For the three months ended July 3, 2005, selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased $2.0 million compared to the same prior-year period. The decrease in SG&A expenditures was primarily due to a decrease of $1.0 million in employee-related compensation expense, which was mostly attributable to the restructuring measures implemented during the first quarter of fiscal 2005. In addition, the decrease in SG&A expense was attributable to a $0.7 million decrease in professional and other outside service fees.
     For the six months ended July 3, 2005, SG&A expenses increased $7.7 million compared to the same prior-year period. SG&A expenses included a benefit of $7.7 million related to the reduction in the loan reserve under the employee stock purchase assistance plan in the first half of fiscal 2004. Excluding this one-time item, SG&A expenses were essentially flat period-over-period. The decrease of $1.8 million in employee-related compensation expense primarily resulting from the restructuring measures implemented during the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and the decrease of $0.5 million in professional and other outside service fees were partially offset by an increase of approximately $1.4 million in facility-related expenses.
Restructuring
     The semiconductor industry has historically been characterized by wide fluctuations in demand for, and supply of, semiconductors. In some cases, industry downturns have lasted more than a year. Prior experience has shown that restructuring of operations, resulting in significant restructuring charges, may become necessary if an industry downturn persists. In addition, events and circumstances specific to us may result in restructuring charges.
     As of July 3, 2005, we had one active restructuring plan initiated in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 (“Fiscal 2005 Restructuring Plan”). In addition, we have two other restructuring plans — one initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 (“Fiscal 2002 Restructuring Plan”) and one initiated in the third quarter of fiscal 2001 (“Fiscal 2001 Restructuring Plan”). Both the Fiscal 2002 Restructuring Plan and the Fiscal 2001 Restructuring Plan have been substantially completed with reserves remaining for lease payments for restructured facilities. For additional information on these events, refer to Note 4 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
     In January 2005, we announced a plan to reduce costs and losses by $19 million per quarter. This plan included (1) restructuring activities implemented under the Fiscal 2005 Restructuring Plan and (2) various other initiatives to reduce discretionary spending and reduce our losses. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2005, we have realized these savings as described below.
     The initiatives implemented under our Fiscal 2005 Restructuring Plan were intended to generate savings by reducing employee-related costs, disposing of excess equipment thereby reducing depreciation costs, reducing certain facility costs by existing certain facilities and ceasing operations of our Silicon Magnetic Systems (“SMS”) subsidiary. During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, we realized these savings as follows: approximately $5.7 million in employee-related compensation expenses due to the termination of employees, $1.0 million in depreciation as a result of the removal of equipment from operations, $0.1 million in rent expense due to the closure of facilities, and $1.3 million as a result of discontinuing the operations of our SMS subsidiary.
     The initiatives to reduce the amount of discretionary spending and reduce our losses were intended to generate savings of approximately $10.9 million. We achieved these savings as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2005.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
     Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their useful lives ranging from 2 to 6 years.

32


Table of Contents

     For the three months ended July 3, 2005, amortization decreased $2.5 million, or 26%, compared with the corresponding fiscal 2004 period. The decrease was attributable to a $3.8 million decrease in amortization of purchased technology and non-compete agreements, partially offset by an increase of $1.3 million in amortization of patents, customer contracts, licenses and trademarks.
     For the six months ended July 3, 2005, amortization decreased $4.3 million, or 22%, compared with the corresponding fiscal 2004 period. The decrease was attributable to a $7.2 million decrease in amortization of purchased technology and non-compete agreements, partially offset by an increase of $2.9 million in amortization of patents, customer contracts, licenses and trademarks.
In-Process Research and Development Charges
     For the six months ended July 3, 2005, we recorded $12.3 million of in-process research and development charges relating to our acquisition of SMaL. No in-process research and development charges were recorded in other periods presented.
     In-process research and development projects related to SMaL include the development of first generation automotive cameras and mobile phone sensor and modules. In assessing the projects, we considered key characteristics of the technology as well as its future prospects, the rate of technology changes in the industry, product life cycles, and various projects’ stage of development. We allocated $12.3 million of the purchase price to the in-process research and development projects and wrote off the amount in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 as technology feasibility has not been established and no alternative future uses existed.
     The value of in-process research and development was determined using the income approach method, which calculated the sum of the discounted future cash flows attributable to the projects once commercially viable using discount rates ranging from 35% to 45%, which were derived from a weighted-average cost of capital analysis and adjusted to reflect the stage of completion of the projects and the level of risks associated with the projects. The percentage of completion for each project was determined by identifying the research and development expenses invested in the project as a ratio of the total estimated development costs required to bring the project to technical and commercial feasibility. The following table summarizes certain information of each significant project as of the acquisition date:
                             
    Stage of   Total Costs Incurred   Total Estimated   Estimated
Projects   Completion   as of Acquisition Date   Costs to Complete   Completion Dates
First generation automotive camera
    58 %   $4.2 million   $3.1 million   March 2006
Mobile phone sensor and modules
    28 %   $2.4 million   $6.0 million   March 2006
Status of In-Process Research and Development Projects:
     The status of in-process research and development projects associated with our acquisitions is as follows:
SMaL:
     To date, there have been no significant differences between the actual and estimated results of the in-process research and development projects. As of July 3, 2005, we have incurred total post-acquisition costs of approximately $1.7 million related to the in-process research and development projects and estimate that an additional investment of approximately $7.4 million will be required to complete the projects. We expect to complete the projects by March 2006, which is within the timeframe as originally estimated.
FillFactory NV:
     We acquired FillFactory NV and recorded an in-process research and development charge of $15.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. See our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a detailed discussion of the in-process research and development projects identified as part of the acquisition.
     To date, there have been no significant differences between the actual and estimated results of the in-process research and development projects. As of July 3, 2005, we have incurred total post-acquisition costs of approximately $6.9 million related to the in-process research and development projects and estimate that an additional investment of approximately $1.4 million will be required to complete the projects. The industrial, medical and high-end photography projects have all been completed during the second quarter of fiscal 2005. We expect to complete the digital still and wireless terminal camera projects by October 2005, which has been

delayed by one quarter from the originally estimate, and the automotive projects by January 2006, which is within the timeframe as originally estimated.
     The development of these technologies remains a significant risk due to factors including the remaining efforts to achieve technical viability, rapidly changing customer markets, uncertain standards for new products, and competitive threats. The nature of the efforts to develop these technologies into commercially viable products consists primarily of planning, designing, experimenting, and testing activities necessary to determine that the technologies can meet market expectations, including functionality and technical requirements. Failure to bring these products to market in a timely manner could result in a loss of market share or a lost opportunity to capitalize on emerging markets and could have a material adverse impact on our business and operating results.
Interest Income
     Interest income consists primarily of interest earned on cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash. In addition, interest income includes interest earned on our loans to employees under the employee stock purchase assistance plan.
     For the three months ended July 3, 2005, interest income was $2.5 million compared with $2.7 million for the same prior-year period. The decrease in interest income was primarily attributable to a decrease of $0.1 million in interest earned on our loans to employees under the employee stock purchase assistance plan, coupled with a decrease of $0.1 million in interest earned on our cash and investments.
     For the six months ended July 3, 2005, interest income was $5.0 million compared with $5.3 million for the same prior-year period. The decrease in interest income was primarily attributable to a decrease of $0.4 million in interest earned on our loans to employees under the employee stock purchase assistance plan, partially offset by an increase of $0.1 million in interest earned on our cash and investments.
Interest Expense
     Interest expense is primarily associated with our convertible subordinated notes and collateralized debt instruments.
     For the three months ended July 3, 2005, interest expense was $2.1 million compared with $2.7 million during the same prior-year period. The decrease in interest expense was primarily attributable to a decrease of $0.6 million in interest expense associated with the 3.75% convertible subordinated notes (“3.75% Notes”), as we redeemed all of the outstanding 3.75% Notes during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.
     For the six months ended July 3, 2005, interest expense was $4.3 million compared with $5.6 million during the same prior-year period. The decrease in interest expense was primarily attributable to a decrease of $1.3 million in interest expense associated with the 3.75% Notes, as we redeemed all of the outstanding 3.75% Notes during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.
     As of July 3, 2005, $600.0 million of our 1.25% convertible subordinated notes (“1.25% Notes”) were outstanding.
Other Expense, Net
     For the three months ended July 3, 2005, other expense, net, increased $0.5 million compared with the same prior-year period. For the six months ended July 3, 2005, other expense, net, increased $2.7 million compared with the same prior-year period. The following table summarizes the components of other expense, net:

Benefit from (Provision for) Income Taxes
     Our effective rate of income tax benefit was 3.3% and 0.2% for the three and six months ended July 3, 2005, respectively. Our effective rate of income tax expense was 6.5% and 6.5% for the three and six months ended June 27, 2004, respectively. The tax benefit for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2005 was attributable to income earned in certain countries that is not offset by current year net operating losses in other countries, offset by the amortization of deferred tax liabilities in conjunction with the acquisition of FillFactory NV. The tax provision for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2004 was attributable to income earned in certain countries that is not offset by current year net operating losses in other countries.
     The future tax benefit of certain losses is not currently recognized due to management’s assessment of the likelihood of realization of these benefits. Our effective tax rate may vary from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to utilization of future benefits, earnings of foreign subsidiaries taxed at different rates, tax credits, amortization of deferred tax liabilities associated with acquisitions and other business factors.

The $95.9 million decrease was primarily attributable to a net loss incurred during the current six-month period, adjusted for certain non-cash items including restructuring and in-process research and development, and changes in operating assets and liabilities.
     During the six months ended July 3, 2005, investing activities used cash of $29.0 million, compared to $65.7 million used during the same prior-year period. During the six months ended July 3, 2005, we used $50.8 million for the acquisitions of property and

equipment and $39.6 million for our acquisition of SMaL, net of cash received. These uses of cash were partially offset by proceeds of $65.4 million from sales and maturities of investments, net of purchases. During the six months ended June 27, 2004, we used $54.3 million for the acquisitions of property and equipment and $40.5 million for the purchases of investments, net of proceeds from sales and maturities. These uses of cash were partially offset by proceeds of $28.2 million from the collection of our loans to employees under the employee stock purchase assistance plan.
     During the six months ended July 3, 2005, net cash generated from financing activities was $22.2 million, compared to $19.5 million during the same prior-year period. During the six months ended July 3, 2005, we received proceeds of $30.4 million from the issuance of shares upon exercise of stock options by employees and used $8.2 million for the repayment of debt. During the six months ended June 27, 2004, we received proceeds of $21.1 million from the issuance of shares upon exercise of stock options by employees and used $3.6 million for the repayment of debt.
Liquidity:
     The Board of Directors has approved programs authorizing the repurchase of our common stock or convertible subordinated notes in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The actual total amount that can be repurchased is limited to $15.0 million.
     We have $600.0 million of aggregate principal amount in the 1.25% Notes that are due in June 2008. The 1.25% Notes are subject to compliance with certain covenants that do not contain financial ratios. As of July 3, 2005, we were in compliance with these covenants. If we failed to be in compliance with these covenants beyond any applicable grace period, the trustee of the 1.25% Notes, or the holders of a specific percentage thereof, would have the ability to demand immediate payment of all amounts outstanding.
     On June 27, 2003, we entered into a synthetic operating lease agreement for U.S. manufacturing and office facilities. The lease agreement requires us to purchase the properties or to arrange for the properties to be acquired by a third party at lease expiration. If we had exercised our right to purchase all the properties subject to these leases at July 3, 2005, we would have been required to make a payment and record assets totaling $62.7 million. We are required to maintain restricted cash or investments to serve as collateral for this lease. As of July 3, 2005, the amount of restricted cash and accrued interest was $63.2 million, which was classified as a non-current asset in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
     In September 2003, we entered into a $50.0 million, 24-month revolving line of credit with a major financial institution. In December 2004, this line of credit was extended to December 2006 and the total amount was increased to $70.0 million. As of July 3, 2005, no amount was outstanding. Loans made under the line of credit bear interest based upon the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate or LIBOR plus a spread at our election. The line of credit agreement includes a variety of covenants including restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness, incurrence of loans, the payment of dividends or distribution on our capital stock, and transfers of assets and financial covenants with respect to tangible net worth and a quick ratio. As of July 3, 2005, we were in compliance with all of the covenants. Our obligations under the line of credit are guaranteed and collateralized by the common stock of certain of our subsidiaries. We intend to use the line of credit on an as-needed basis to fund working capital and capital expenditures.
     During fiscal 2003, we entered into certain long-term loan agreements primarily with two lenders with an aggregate principal amount equal to $24.7 million. These agreements are collateralized by specific equipment located at our U.S. manufacturing facilities. Principal amounts are to be repaid in monthly installments inclusive of accrued interest, over a three to four-year period. The applicable interest rates are variable based on changes to LIBOR rates. Both loans are subject to financial and non-financial covenants. As of July 3, 2005, the outstanding principal balance was $9.8 million and we were in compliance with the covenants.
     In February 2005, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of SMaL. We acquired SMaL for a total cash consideration of $39.6 million, net of cash received.
     Several of our acquisitions obligate us to pay certain contingent cash compensation based on continued employment and meeting certain milestones. As of July 3, 2005, total outstanding contingent compensation that could be paid in cash under our agreements, assuming all contingencies are met, was $31.1 million.
Capital Resources and Financial Condition:
     Our long-term strategy is to maintain a minimum amount of cash and cash equivalents for operational purposes and to invest the remaining amount of our cash in interest-bearing and highly liquid cash equivalents and debt securities. Accordingly, at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2005, in addition to the $63.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, we had $113.0 million

36


Table of Contents

invested in short-term investments that are available for current operating, financing and investing activities, for a total liquid cash and investment position of $176.4 million. We had an additional $63.2 million of restricted cash related to our synthetic lease for a total cash, short-term investments and restricted cash position of $239.6 million. As of July 3, 2005, we had outstanding $600.0 million in principal amount of our 1.25% Notes. Historically, we have funded the capital expenditures of SunPower internally. In the future, we anticipate to fund SunPower through either debt or equity financings.
     We believe that liquidity provided by existing cash, cash equivalents, investments, and our borrowing arrangements described above will provide sufficient capital to meet our requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, should prevailing economic conditions and/or financial, business and other factors beyond our control adversely affect our estimates of our future cash requirements (including our debt obligations), we would be required to fund our cash requirements by alternative financing. There can be no assurance that additional financing, if needed, would be available on terms acceptable to us or at all.
     We may choose at any time to raise additional capital to strengthen our financial position, facilitate growth, and provide us with additional flexibility to take advantage of business opportunities that arise.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement:
     On June 27, 2003, we entered into a synthetic operating lease agreement for manufacturing and office facilities located in Minnesota and California. The synthetic lease enables us to lease rather than acquire the facilities. This results in improved cash flow through lower lease payments compared to expending much more cash in a direct acquisition of the properties. The synthetic lease requires us to purchase the properties or to arrange for the properties to be acquired by a third party at lease expiration, which is in June 2008. In addition, we may extend the lease if the lessor allows. If we had exercised our right to purchase all the properties subject to the synthetic lease at July 3, 2005, we would have been required to make a payment and record assets totaling $62.7 million (the “Termination Value”). If we had exercised our option to sell the properties to a third party, the proceeds from such a sale could be less than the properties’ Termination Value, and we would be required to pay the difference up to the guaranteed residual value of $54.5 million.
     We are required to evaluate periodically the expected fair value of the properties at the end of the lease term. In the event we determine that it is estimable and probable that the expected fair value of the properties at the end of the lease term will be less than the Termination Value, we will ratably accrue the loss over the remaining lease term. During fiscal 2004, we performed the analysis and accrued a loss contingency of approximately $1.8 million in other long-term liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets relating to the potential decline in the fair value of the facilities in California. The loss contingency was determined by management with the assistance of a market analysis performed by an independent appraisal firm. During the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2005, we accrued an additional $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, related to the loss contingency. As of July 3, 2005, the accrued loss contingency accrual totaled $2.4 million.
     We are required to maintain restricted cash or investments to serve as collateral for this lease. As of July 3, 2005, the balance of restricted cash and accrued interest was $63.2 million and was classified in other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
     During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, we amended the synthetic lease agreement, whereby amounts due under our 1.25% Notes are excluded from certain financial covenant calculation under the revised agreement. As of July 3, 2005, we were in compliance with the financial covenants.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” which changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 replaces Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statement.” It requires retrospective application to prior period’s financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. In addition, under SFAS No. 154, if an entity changes its method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, non-financial assets, the change must be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 applies to accounting changes and error corrections made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We do not expect the

37


Table of Contents

adoption of SFAS No. 154 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
     In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations.” Interpretation No. 47 clarifies that an entity must record a liability for a “conditional” asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. Interpretation No. 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. Interpretation No. 47 is effective no later than the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2005. We are currently evaluating the provision and do not expect the adoption of Interpretation No. 47 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
     In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107, which provides guidance on the implementation of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (see discussion below). In particular, SAB No. 107 provides key guidance related to valuation methods (including assumptions such as expected volatility and expected term), the accounting for income tax effects of share-based payment arrangements upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the modification of employee share options prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the classification of compensation expense, capitalization of compensation cost related to share-based payment arrangements, first-time adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) in an interim period, and disclosures in Management’s Discussion and Analysis subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). SAB No. 107 became effective on March 29, 2005. It did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
     In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), which replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Under SFAS No. 123(R), companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. In April 2005, the SEC postponed the implementation date to the fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. We will adopt SFAS No. 123(R) in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. SFAS No. 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods. We are currently evaluating which method to adopt. The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will have a significant adverse impact on our results of operations, although it will have no impact on our overall financial position. The precise impact of adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had we adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified retrospective application for all prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS No. 123 as described under the “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” section in Note 1. SFAS No. 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. While we cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the future (because they depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options), the amount of operating cash flows recognized for such excess tax deductions was zero for the six months ended July 3, 2005 and June 27, 2004.
     In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.” The American Jobs Creation Act introduces a special one-time dividends received deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to U.S. companies, provided certain criteria are met. FSP No. 109-2 provides accounting and disclosure guidance on the impact of the repatriation provision on a company’s income tax expense and deferred tax liability. We are currently studying the impact of the one-time foreign dividend provision and intend to complete the analysis by the end of fiscal 2005. Accordingly, we have not adjusted our income tax expense or deferred tax liability to reflect the tax impact of any repatriation of non-U.S. earnings we may make.
     In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 03-01, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments.” EITF Issue No. 03-01 provides guidance on evaluating and recording impairment losses on debt and equity investments and requires additional disclosures for those investments. In September 2004, the FASB delayed the measurement and recognition provisions of EITF Issue No. 03-01; however, the disclosure requirements remain effective. We will evaluate the impact of EITF Issue No. 03-01 once final guidance is issued.

Risk Factors
We face periods of industry-wide semiconductor over-supply that harm our results.
     The semiconductor industry has historically been characterized by wide fluctuations in the demand for, and supply of, semiconductors. These fluctuations have helped produce many occasions when supply and demand for semiconductors have not been in balance. During the second half of fiscal 2004 and continuing into the first quarter of fiscal 2005, we experienced a rapid decline of demand for our products that may represent the beginning of such a period of over-supply. While we experienced sequential increase in sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, no assurance can be given that such increase is an indication of the beginning of a long-term recovery in the semiconductor industry. In the past, these industry-wide fluctuations in demand, which have resulted in under-utilization of our manufacturing capacity, have seriously harmed our operating results. In some cases, industry downturns with these characteristics have lasted more than a year. Prior experience has shown that restructuring of our operations, resulting in significant restructuring charges, may become necessary if an industry downturn persists. In response to the downturn that began in early 2001, we restructured our manufacturing operations and administrative areas in the third quarter of fiscal 2001 and fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 to increase cost efficiency with the goal of maintaining an infrastructure that will enable us to grow when sustainable economic recovery begins. In addition, in response to the softening in market conditions, management implemented a plan to restructure our organization in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. When these cycles occur, they will likely seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations and we may need to take further action to respond to them.
Our financial results could be seriously harmed if the markets in which we sell our products do not grow.
     Our continued success depends in large part on the continued growth of various electronics industries that use our silicon-based products, including the following industries:
    wireless telecommunications equipment;
 
    computers and computer-related peripherals;
 
    memory and image sensor;
 
    networking equipment;
 
    solar power products; and
 
    consumer electronics, automotive electronics and industrial controls.
     Many of our products are incorporated into data communications and telecommunications products. Any reduction in the growth of, or decline in the demand for mass storage, telecommunications, cellular base stations, cellular handsets, networking applications, and other personal communication devices that incorporate our products could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, certain of our products, including USB micro-controllers and high-frequency clocks, are incorporated into computer and computer-related products, which have historically experienced, and may in the future experience, significant fluctuations in demand. We may also be seriously harmed by slower growth in the other markets in which we sell our products.
Our business, financial condition and results of operations will be seriously harmed if we fail to compete successfully in our highly competitive industry and markets.
     The semiconductor industry is intensely competitive. This intense competition results in a difficult operating environment that is marked by erosion of average selling prices over the lives of each product and rapid technological change resulting in limited product life cycles. In order to offset selling price decreases, we attempt to decrease the manufacturing costs of our products and to introduce new, higher priced products that incorporate advanced features. If these efforts are not successful or do not occur in a timely manner, or if our newly introduced products do not gain market acceptance, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed. Furthermore, we expect our competitors to invest in new manufacturing capacity and achieve significant manufacturing yield improvements in the future. These developments could dramatically increase the worldwide supply of competitive products and result in further downward pressure on prices.
     A primary cause of this highly competitive environment is the strength of our competitors. The industry consists of major domestic and international semiconductor companies, many of which have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution and other resources than we do. We face competition from other domestic and foreign high-performance integrated circuit manufacturers, many of which have advanced technological capabilities and have increased their participation in markets that are important to us. We believe that there is a variety of competing technologies under development by other companies that could result in lower

39


Table of Contents

manufacturing costs than those expected for our products. Our development efforts may be rendered obsolete by the technological advances of others, and other technologies may prove more advantageous for the commercialization of solar power products and semiconductors generally.
     Our ability to compete successfully in the rapidly evolving high performance portion of the semiconductor technology industry depends on many factors, including:
    our success in developing new products and manufacturing technologies;
 
    the quality and price of our products;
 
    the diversity of our product line;
 
    the cost effectiveness of our design, development, manufacturing and marketing efforts;
 
    our customer service;
 
    our customer satisfaction;
 
    the pace at which customers incorporate our products into their systems;
 
    the number and nature of our competitors and general economic conditions; and
 
    our access to and the availability of capital.
     Although we believe we currently compete effectively in the above areas to the extent they are within our control, given the pace of change in the industry, our current abilities are not a guarantee of future success. If we are unable to compete successfully in this environment, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be seriously harmed.
Our financial results could be adversely impacted if we fail to develop, introduce and sell new products or fail to develop and implement new technologies.
     Like many semiconductor companies, which frequently operate in a highly competitive, quickly changing environment marked by rapid obsolescence of existing products, our future success depends on our ability to develop and introduce new products that customers choose to buy. We introduce significant numbers of products each year, which are important sources of revenue for us. If we fail to introduce new product designs in a timely manner or are unable to manufacture products according to the requirements of these designs, or if our customers do not successfully introduce new systems or products incorporating our products, or market demand for our new products does not exist as anticipated, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed.
     For us and many other semiconductor companies, introduction of new products is a major manufacturing challenge. The new products the market requires tend to be increasingly complex, incorporating more functions and operating at faster speeds than prior products. Increasing complexity generally requires smaller features on a chip. This makes manufacturing new generations of products substantially more difficult than prior generations. Ultimately, whether we can successfully introduce these and other new products depends on our ability to develop and implement new ways of manufacturing semiconductors. If we are unable to design, develop, manufacture, market and sell new products successfully, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be seriously harmed.
We must spend heavily on equipment to stay competitive and will be adversely impacted if we are unable to secure financing for such investments.
     In order to remain competitive, semiconductor manufacturers generally make significant investments in capital equipment to maintain or increase technology and design development and manufacturing capacity and capability. This is particularly true as companies develop technologies that would allow for fabrication of products using smaller geometries in order to increase performance of those products and also to reduce cost. In addition, certain technology breakthroughs may only be supported by 300mm equipment. This technology change would most likely necessitate migrating our production into 300mm wafers versus our existing 200mm capability, which could be prohibitively expensive for us and could cause us to change our business model. We anticipate significant continuing capital expenditures in subsequent years. In the past, we have reinvested a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations in technology, design development and capacity expansion and improvement programs.
     If we are unable to decrease costs for our products at a rate at least as fast as the rate of the decline in selling prices for such products, we may not be able to generate enough cash flows from operations to maintain or increase manufacturing capability and capacity as necessary. In such a situation, we would need to seek financing from external sources to satisfy our needs for manufacturing equipment and, if cash flows from operations declines too much, for operational cash needs as well. Such financing,

40


Table of Contents

however, may not be available on terms that are satisfactory to us or at all, in which case our business, financial condition and results of operations would be seriously harmed.
We must build semiconductors based on our forecasts of demand, and if our forecasts are inaccurate, we may have large amounts of unsold products or we may not be able to fill all orders.
     We order materials and build semiconductors based primarily on our internal forecasts and secondarily on existing orders, which may be cancelled under many circumstances. Consequently, we depend on our forecasts as a principal means to determine inventory levels for our products and the amount of manufacturing capacity that we need. Because our markets are volatile and subject to rapid technological and price changes, our forecasts may be wrong and we may make too many or too few of certain products or have too much or too little manufacturing capacity. Also, our customers frequently place orders requesting product delivery almost immediately after the order is made, which makes forecasting customer demand even more difficult, particularly when supply is abundant. These factors also make it difficult to forecast quarterly operating results. If we are unable to predict accurately the appropriate amount of product required to meet customer demand, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed, either through missed revenue opportunities because inventory for sale was insufficient or through excessive inventory that would require write-downs.
Our ability to meet our cash requirements depends on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control.
     Our ability to meet our cash requirements (including our debt service obligations) is dependent upon our future performance, which will be subject to financial, business and other factors affecting our operations, many of which are beyond our control. We cannot guarantee that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations to fund our cash requirements. If we are unable to meet our cash requirements from operations, we would be required to fund these cash requirements by alternative financing. The degree to which we may be leveraged could materially and adversely affect our ability to obtain financing for working capital, acquisitions or other purposes, could make us more vulnerable to industry downturns and competitive pressures or could limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes and opportunities in our industry, which may place us at a competitive disadvantage. There can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain alternative financing, that any such financing would be on acceptable terms or that we will be permitted to do so under the terms of our existing financing arrangements. In the absence of such financing, our ability to respond to changing business and economic conditions, make future acquisitions, react to adverse operating results, meet our debt service obligations, or fund required capital expenditures may be adversely affected.
The complex nature of our manufacturing activities makes us highly susceptible to manufacturing problems and these problems can have a substantial negative impact on us when they occur.
     Making semiconductors is a highly complex and precise process, requiring production in a tightly controlled, clean environment. Even very small impurities in our manufacturing materials, difficulties in the wafer fabrication process, defects in the masks used to print circuits on a wafer or other factors can cause a substantial percentage of wafers to be rejected or numerous chips on each wafer to be non-functional. We may experience problems in achieving an acceptable success rate in the manufacture of wafers and the likelihood of facing such difficulties is higher in connection with the transition to new manufacturing methods. The interruption of wafer fabrication or the failure to achieve acceptable manufacturing yields at any of our facilities would seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may also experience manufacturing problems in our assembly and test operations and in the introduction of new packaging materials.
Problems in the performance or availability of other companies we hire to perform certain manufacturing and transport tasks can seriously harm our financial performance.
     A high percentage of our products are fabricated in our manufacturing facilities located in Texas, Minnesota and the Philippines. However, we also rely on independent contractors to manufacture some of our products. If market demand for our products exceeds our internal manufacturing capacity, we may seek additional foundry manufacturing arrangements. A shortage in foundry manufacturing capacity, which is more likely to occur at times of increasing demand, could hinder our ability to meet demand for our products and therefore adversely affect our operating results.
     While a high percentage of our products are assembled, packaged and tested at our manufacturing facility located in the Philippines, we rely on independent subcontractors to assemble, package and test the balance of our products. We cannot be certain that these subcontractors will continue to assemble, package and test products for us on acceptable economic and quality terms or at all and it might be difficult for us to find alternatives if they do not do so.

41


Table of Contents

     We also rely on independent carriers and freight haulers to move our products between manufacturing plants and our customers. Transport or delivery problems due to their error or because of unforeseen interruptions in their business due to factors such as strikes, political instability, terrorism, natural disasters or accidents could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations and ultimately impact our relationship with our customers.
We may not be able to use all of our existing or future manufacturing capacity, which can negatively impact our business.
     We have in the past spent, and will continue to spend, significant amounts of money to upgrade and increase our wafer fabrication, assembly and test manufacturing capability and capacity. If we do not need some of this capacity and capability for a variety of reasons, such as inadequate demand or a significant shift in the mix of product orders that makes our existing capacity and capability inadequate or in excess of our actual needs, our fixed costs per semiconductor produced will increase, which will harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if the need for more advanced products requires accelerated conversion to technologies capable of manufacturing semiconductors having smaller features or requires the use of larger wafers, we are likely to face higher operating expenses and may need to write-off capital equipment made obsolete by the technology conversion, either of which could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, in response to various downturns and changes in our business, we have not been able to use all of our existing equipment and we have restructured our operations. These restructurings have resulted in material charges, which have negatively affected our business.
Interruptions in the availability of raw materials can seriously harm our financial performance.
     Our semiconductor manufacturing and solar cell operations require raw materials that must meet exacting standards. We generally have more than one source available for these materials, but for certain of our products there are only a limited number of suppliers capable of delivering the raw materials that meet our standards. If we need to use other companies as suppliers, they must go through a qualification process, which can be difficult and lengthy. In addition, the raw materials we need for certain of our products could become scarcer as worldwide demand for semiconductors and solar cells increases. Interruption of our sources of raw materials could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we fail to adequately respond to increases in demand, our business and results of operation could be adversely affected.
     The semiconductor industry has historically been characterized by wide and sometimes sudden fluctuations in the demand for, and supply of, semiconductors. These fluctuations have helped produce many occasions when supply and demand for semiconductors have not been in balance. If we should experience a sudden increase in demand, we will need to quickly ramp our manufacturing capacity to adequately respond to our customers. If we fail to do so, we risk losing their business, which would have a negative impact on our financial performance.
If the market for solar power products takes longer to develop than we anticipate or does not develop at all, or if we fail to compete successfully in the solar power market, our revenue and profitability could be adversely affected.
     The market for solar power products manufactured by SunPower is emerging and rapidly evolving. If solar power technology proves unsuitable for widespread commercial deployment or if demand for SunPower’s products or solar power products generally fails to develop sufficiently or at all, our revenues and profitability could be affected adversely. In addition, demand for solar power products in the markets and geographic regions we target may develop more slowly than we anticipate or not at all. The solar cell market has not historically been a part of Cypress’s core semiconductor business. If we are unable to keep pace with this rapidly evolving industry, our results of operations could suffer. Many factors will influence the adoption of solar power technology as well as our ability to compete in the solar power products market, including:
    cost effectiveness of solar power technologies as compared with conventional and non-solar alternative energy technologies;
 
    performance and reliability of solar power products as compared with conventional and non-solar alternative energy products;
 
    our success in developing new products and manufacturing technologies;
 
    our ability to continue to ramp our manufacturing capacities;
 
    the quality and price of our products;
 
    the availability of the raw materials, including polysilicon, used in the production of solar cell products;
 
    the number and nature of our competitors and general economic conditions;

42


Table of Contents

    our access to and the availability of capital;
 
    success of alternative power generation technologies;
 
    fluctuations in economic and market conditions which impact the viability of conventional and non-solar alternative energy sources, such as increases or decreases in the prices of oil and other fossil fuels;
 
    continued deregulation of the electric power industry and broader energy industry; and
 
    availability of, and dependence on, subsidies and other incentives provided by various governmental agencies.
Our SunPower subsidiary is currently experiencing an industry-wide shortage of polysilicon. As a result, polysilicon prices have increased. We expect future price increases which may constrain their revenue growth, decrease their margins and have an adverse affect on our financial performance.
     There is currently an industry-wide shortage of polysilicon, an essential raw material used by our SunPower subsidiary in the production of solar cells, which has resulted in significant price increases. As demand for solar cells has increased, many of SunPower’s principal competitors have announced plans to add additional manufacturing capacity. As this manufacturing capacity becomes operational, it will increase the demand for polysilicon and further exacerbate the current shortage. Polysilicon is also used in the semiconductor industry generally and any increase in demand from that sector could also compound the shortage. The production of polysilicon is capital intensive and adding additional capacity requires significant lead time. While we are aware that several new facilities for the manufacture of polysilicon are under construction, we do not believe that the supply imbalance will be remedied in the near term. It is also possible that polysilicon demand may continue to outstrip supply for the foreseeable future.
     Although SunPower has made arrangements for what we believe will be an adequate supply of polysilicon for the remainder of fiscal 2005, our estimates regarding our supply needs may not be correct. If our manufacturing yields decrease significantly or if SunPower’s second manufacturing line becomes available earlier than anticipated, we may not have made adequate provision for our polysilicon needs for the balance of the year. In addition, since some of these arrangements are with suppliers who do not themselves manufacture polysilicon but instead purchase their requirements from other vendors, it is possible that these suppliers will not be able to obtain sufficient polysilicon to satisfy their contractual obligations to us.
     The inability to obtain sufficient polysilicon at commercially reasonable prices or at all would adversely affect SunPower’s ability to meet existing and future customer demand and could cause SunPower to make fewer shipments, lose customers and market share and generate lower than anticipated revenue, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Any guidance that we may provide about our business or expected future results may prove to differ from actual results.
     From time to time we have shared our views in press releases or SEC filings, on public conference calls and in other contexts about current business conditions and our expectations as to potential future results. Identifying correctly the key factors affecting business conditions and predicting future events is inherently an uncertain process. Our analyses and forecasts have in the past and, given the complexity and volatility of our business, will likely in the future, prove to be incorrect. We offer no assurance that such predictions or analysis will ultimately be accurate, and investors should treat any such predictions or analyses with appropriate caution.
     In addition, because we recognize revenues from sales to certain distributors only when these distributors make a sale to customers, we are highly dependent on the accuracy of their resale estimates. The occurrence of inaccurate estimates also contributes to the difficulty in predicting our quarterly revenue and results of operations and we can fail to meet expectations if we are not accurate in our estimates.
     Any analysis or forecast that we make which ultimately proves to be inaccurate may adversely affect our stock price.
We may be unable to protect our intellectual property rights adequately and may face significant expenses as a result of ongoing or future litigation.
     Protection of our intellectual property rights is essential to keeping others from copying the innovations that are central to our existing and future products. Consequently, we may become involved in litigation to enforce our patents or other intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets and know-how, to determine the validity or scope of the proprietary rights of others or to defend against claims of invalidity. We are also from time to time involved in litigation relating to alleged infringement by us of others’ patents or other intellectual property rights.

43


Table of Contents

     Intellectual property litigation is frequently expensive to both the winning party and the losing party and could take up significant amounts of management’s time and attention. In addition, if we lose such a lawsuit, a court could find that our intellectual property rights are invalid, enabling our competitors to use our technology, or require us to pay substantial damages and/or royalties or prohibit us from using essential technologies. For these and other reasons, this type of litigation could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Also, although in certain instances we may seek to obtain a license under a third party’s intellectual property rights in order to bring an end to certain claims or actions asserted against us, we may not be able to obtain such a license on reasonable terms or at all.
     For a variety of reasons, we have entered into technology license agreements with third parties that give those parties the right to use patents and other technology developed by us and/or give us the right to use patents and other technology developed by them. Historically, these arrangements have not been a material source of revenue to the Company. We anticipate that we will continue to enter into these kinds of licensing arrangements in the future. It is possible, however, that licenses we want will not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we lose existing licenses to key technology, or are unable to enter into new licenses that we deem important, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed.
     It is critical to our success that we are able to prevent competitors from copying our innovations. Therefore, we intend to continue to seek intellectual property protection for our technologies. The process of seeking patent protection can be long and expensive and we cannot be certain that any currently pending or future applications will actually result in issued patents, or that, even if patents are issued, they will be of sufficient scope or strength to provide meaningful protection or any commercial advantage to us. Furthermore, others may develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology or design around the patents we own.
     We also rely on trade secret protection for our technology, in part through confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and third parties. However, these parties may breach these agreements and we may not have adequate remedies for any breach. Also, others may come to know about or determine our trade secrets through a variety of methods. In addition, the laws of certain countries in which we develop, manufacture or sell our products may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States.
We are subject to many different environmental regulations and compliance with them may be costly.
     We are subject to many different governmental regulations related to the storage, use, discharge and disposal of toxic, volatile or otherwise hazardous chemicals used in our manufacturing process. Compliance with these regulations can be costly. In addition, over the last several years, the public has paid a great deal of attention to the potentially negative environmental impact of semiconductor manufacturing operations. This attention and other factors may lead to changes in environmental regulations that could force us to purchase additional equipment or comply with other potentially costly requirements. If we fail to control the use of, or to adequately restrict the discharge of, hazardous substances under present or future regulations, we could face substantial liability or suspension of our manufacturing operations, which could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We face additional problems and uncertainties associated with international operations that could seriously harm us.
     International revenues accounted for approximately 62% and 65% of total revenues for the three and six months ended July 3, 2005, respectively, and approximately 69% and 67% of total revenues for the three and six months ended June 27, 2004, respectively. Our Philippine fabrication, assembly and test operations, as well as our international sales offices, face risks frequently associated with foreign operations including:
    currency exchange fluctuations;
 
    the devaluation of local currencies;
 
    political instability;
 
    changes in local economic conditions;
 
    import and export controls; and
 
    changes in tax laws, tariffs and freight rates.
     To the extent any such risks materialize, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed.

We may face automotive product liability claims that are disproportionately higher than the value of the products involved.
     Although all of our products sold in the automotive market are covered by our standard warranty, we could incur costs not covered by our warranties including, but not limited to, labor and other costs of replacing defective parts, lost profits and other damages. These costs could be disproportionately higher than the revenue and profits we receive from the products involved. If we are required to pay for damages resulting from quality or performance issues of our automotive products, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
We compete with others to attract and retain key personnel, and any loss of, or inability to attract, such personnel would harm us.
     To a greater degree than most non-technology companies, we depend on the efforts and abilities of certain key members of management and other technical personnel. Our future success depends, in part, upon our ability to retain such personnel and to attract and retain other highly qualified personnel, particularly product and process engineers. We compete for these individuals with other companies, academic institutions, government entities and other organizations. Competition for such personnel is intense and we may not be successful in hiring or retaining new or existing qualified personnel.
     If we lose existing qualified personnel or are unable to hire new qualified personnel, as needed, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed.
Our operations and financial results could be severely harmed by certain natural disasters.
     Our headquarters, some manufacturing facilities and some of our major vendors’ facilities are located near major earthquake faults. We have not been able to maintain earthquake insurance coverage at reasonable costs. Instead, we rely on self-insurance and preventative/safety measures. If a major earthquake or other natural disaster occurs, we may need to spend significant amounts to repair or replace our facilities and equipment and we could suffer damages that could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in stock option accounting rules may adversely impact our reported operating results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, our stock price and our competitiveness in the employee marketplace.
     Technology companies like ours have a history of using broad-based employee stock option programs to hire, incentivize and retain our workforce in a competitive marketplace. Currently, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” allows companies the choice of either using a fair value method of accounting for options, which would result in expense recognition for all options granted, or using an intrinsic value method, as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” with a pro forma disclosure of the impact on net income (loss) of using the fair value recognition method. We have elected to apply APB Opinion No. 25 and accordingly, we generally do not recognize any expense with respect to employee stock options as long as such options are granted at exercise prices equal to the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant.
     In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which replaces SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25. Under SFAS No. 123(R), companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. In April 2005, the SEC postponed the implementation date to the fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005.
     The implementation of SFAS No. 123(R) beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 will have a significant adverse impact on our operating results as we will be required to expense the fair value of our stock options rather than disclosing the impact in our footnotes in accordance with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123. This will result in lower reported earnings per share, which could negatively impact our future stock price. In addition, this could impact our ability to utilize broad-based employee stock plans to reward employees and could result in a competitive disadvantage to us in the employee marketplace.

We may fail to integrate our business and technologies with those of companies that we have recently acquired and that we may acquire in the future.
     We completed one acquisition during the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and three in fiscal 2004. We may pursue additional acquisitions in the future. If we fail to integrate these businesses successfully or properly, our quarterly and annual results may be seriously harmed. Integrating these businesses, people, products and services with our existing business could be expensive, time-consuming and a strain on our resources. Specific issues that we face with regard to prior and future acquisitions include:
    integrating acquired technology or products;
 
    integrating acquired products into our manufacturing facilities;
 
    assimilating and retaining the personnel of the acquired companies;
 
    coordinating and integrating geographically dispersed operations;
 
    our ability to retain customers of the acquired company;
 
    the potential disruption of our ongoing business and distraction of management;
 
    the maintenance of brand recognition of acquired businesses;
 
    the failure to successfully develop acquired in-process technology, resulting in the impairment of amounts currently capitalized as intangible assets;
 
    unanticipated expenses related to technology integration;
 
    the development and maintenance of uniform standards, corporate cultures, controls, procedures and policies;
 
    the impairment of relationships with employees and customers as a result of any integration of new management personnel; and
 
    the potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses.
We may incur losses in connection with loans made under our stock purchase assistance plan.
     We have outstanding loans, consisting of principal and cumulative accrued interest, of $54.9 million as of July 3, 2005, to employees and former employees under the shareholder-approved 2001 employee stock purchase assistance plan. We made the loans to employees for the purpose of purchasing our common stock. Each loan is evidenced by a full recourse promissory note executed by the employee in favor of Cypress and is secured by a pledge of the shares of our common stock purchased with the proceeds of the loan. The primary benefit to us from this program is increased employee retention. In accordance with the plan, the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors do not participate in this program. To date, there have been immaterial bad debt write-offs. As of July 3, 2005, we had an allowance for uncollectible accounts against these loans of $8.5 million. In determining the allowance for uncollectible accounts, management considered various factors, including a review of borrower demographics (including geographic location and job grade), loan quality and an independent fair value analysis of the loans and the underlying collateral. While the loans are secured by the shares of our stock purchased with the loan proceeds, the value of this collateral would be adversely affected if our stock price declined significantly.
     Our results of operations may be adversely affected if a significant amount of these loans were not repaid. Similarly, if our stock price were to decrease, our employees bear greater repayment risk and we would have increased risk to our results of operations. However, we are willing to pursue every available avenue, including those covered under the Uniform Commercial Code, to recover these loans by pursuing employees’ personal assets should the employees not repay these loans.
We maintain self-insurance for certain indemnities we have made to our officers and directors.
     Our certificate of incorporation, by-laws and indemnification agreements require us to indemnify our officers and directors for certain liabilities that may arise in the course of their service to us. We self-insure with respect to potential indemnifiable claims. If we were required to pay a significant amount on account of these liabilities for which we self-insure, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest and Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
     We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. To mitigate these risks, we utilize derivative financial instruments. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
     The fair value of our investment portfolio would not be significantly impacted by either a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates due mainly to the short-term nature of the major portion of our investment portfolio. An increase in interest rates would not significantly increase interest expense due to the fixed nature of our debt obligations.
     The fair market value of our 1.25% convertible subordinated notes (“1.25% Notes”) is subject to interest rate risk and market risk due to the convertible feature. The fair market value of the 1.25% Notes will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. In addition, the fair market value of the 1.25% Notes will increase as the market price of our common stock increases and decrease as the market price falls. The interest and market value changes affect the fair market value of the 1.25% Notes but do not impact our financial position, cash flows or results of operations. As of July 3, 2005 and January 2, 2005, the estimated fair value of the 1.25% Notes was approximately $642.8 million and $626.6 million, respectively, based on quoted market prices.
     The majority of our revenues, expenses and capital spending is transacted in U.S. dollars. However, we do enter into transactions in other currencies, primarily the Euro. To protect against reductions in value and the volatility of future cash flows caused by changes in foreign exchange rates, we have established cash flow and balance sheet hedging programs. Our hedging programs reduce, but do not always eliminate, the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements. We have entered into a series of Euro forward contracts to hedge expected cash flow from one of our subsidiaries. The total notional amount of the contracts was $20.6 million as of July 3, 2005. If the forecasted cash flow fails to materialize, we will have to close out the contracts at the then prevailing market rates, resulting in gains or losses. A 10% unfavorable currency movement would result in approximately a $2.1 million loss on these contracts.
     All of the potential changes noted above were based on sensitivity analyses performed on our balances as of July 3, 2005.
Equity Options
     At July 3, 2005, we had outstanding a series of equity options on our common stock with an initial cost of $26.0 million which is classified in stockholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contracts require physical settlement and will expire on August 18, 2005. Upon expiration of the options, if our stock price is above the threshold price of $21 per share, we will receive a settlement value totaling $30.3 million. If our stock price is below the threshold price of $21 per share, we will receive 1.4 million shares of our common stock. Alternatively, the contracts may be renewed and extended.
     During the three and six months ended June 27, 2004, we received total premiums of zero and $1.8 million, respectively, upon extensions of the contracts. We received no premiums for the three and six months ended July 3, 2005. The premiums were recorded in additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Investments in Privately-Held Companies
     We have invested in several privately-held companies, all of which can be considered in the startup or development stages. These investments are inherently risky as the market for the technologies or products they have under development are typically in the early stages and may never materialize. As of July 3, 2005, the carrying value of our investments in development stage companies was $8.4 million.
     As our equity investments generally do not permit us to exert significant influence or control over the entity in which we are investing, these amounts generally represent our cost of the investment, less any adjustments we make when we determine that an investment’s net realizable value is less than its carrying cost.
     The process of assessing whether a particular equity investment’s net realizable value is less than its carrying cost requires a significant amount of judgment. In making this judgment, we carefully consider the investee’s cash position, projected cash flows (both short- and long-term), financing needs, most recent valuation data, the current investing environment, management/ownership

changes, and competition. This evaluation process is based on information that we request from these privately-held companies. This information is not subject to the same disclosure and audit requirements as the reports required of U.S. public companies, and as such, the reliability and accuracy of the data may vary. Based on our evaluation, we recorded impairment charges of zero and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2005, respectively, as we deemed the decline in values was other-than-temporary. We recorded no impairment charges for the three and six months ended June 27, 2004.
     Estimating the net realizable value of investments in privately-held early-stage technology companies is inherently subjective and may contribute to volatility in our reported results of operations, and we may in the future incur additional impairments to our equity investments in privately-held companies.
Stock Purchase Assistance Plan
     At the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2005, other current assets included $54.9 million of principal and cumulative accrued interest relating to loans made to employees and former employees under the shareholder-approved 2001 employee stock purchase assistance plan. We made the loans to employees for the purpose of purchasing our common stock. Each loan is evidenced by a full recourse promissory note executed by the employee in favor of Cypress and is secured by a pledge of the shares of our common stock purchased with the proceeds of the loan. The primary benefit to us from this program is increased employee retention. In accordance with the plan, the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors do not participate in this program. To date, there have been immaterial write-offs. As of July 3, 2005, we had an allowance for uncollectible accounts against these loans of $8.5 million. In determining the allowance for uncollectible accounts, management considered various factors, including a review of borrower demographics (including geographic location and job grade), loan quality and an independent fair value analysis of the loans and the underlying collateral. As of July 3, 2005, the carrying value of the loans exceeded the underlying common stock collateral by $28.2 million.
     In the first quarter of fiscal 2004, we instituted a program directed at minimizing losses as a result of our common stock price fluctuations. Under this program, either a limit sale order or a stop loss order is placed on the common stock purchased by each employee with the loan proceeds once the common stock price exceeds that employee’s break-even point. If the common stock price reaches the sale limit order or declines to the stop loss price, the common stock purchased by the employee under the plan will be automatically sold and the proceeds utilized to repay the employee’s outstanding loan to us.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
     Based on their evaluation as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
     There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
